The reality of it all

The first night was tough for Inko. Izuku no longer being able to sleep combined with his hyperactivity was simply exhausting. Thankfully Izuku was a smart boy and caught on after a few hours. He simply watched allmight videos all night until the morning. If she didn't know any better she would've thought that Izuku had a good sleep, he was bouncing around as usual as soon as she woke up with no sign of tiredness.

Inko made breakfast for them both and sent him off to school, still quite tired but thankful for having a smart child. Today she took the day off work, thankful that she had built up a lot of holiday time from working so hard. Proceeding with the plan she had in mind for her little boy.

Knowing that her child wants to be a hero with all his heart and having a quirk that keeps her from worrying too much (a mother will always worry), she came up with ideas for him. His quirk doesn't directly help with becoming a hero like her old friends son, Bakugou, he would need to learn how to fight. Therefore, she decided to find a martial art dojo for him to learn at.

Looking on the internet for one, she settled on a few places and went to check them out throughout the day. The first place she found was a place that she immediately left. It looked good on the internet, but when she got there the place was filled with thugs, teaching the older students to fight aggresively. She didn't want her son to learn from a place like that.

The next place was the place she settled on. Walking through the doors, she was surprised to find a woman with blonde hair and 2 long, thin tails about her age teaching a class of young adults. Waiting at the side for her to finish up with the lessons, the blonde lady finished up and walked over to her.

Smiling brightly at Inko, "Hello there! What can I do for you?"

Inko smiled at her. "A-ah, yes. I was looking for somewhere for my son to learn martial arts. He's always wanted to be a hero and after learning what his quirk was, I thought that this would be the best way."

"Oh! Yes, I see. How old is your son?" said the blonde lady.

"Ah, he's 4 years old now." said inko. The lady smiled brightly back. "Ah! He's the same age as my boy!" She said smiling softly. Inko smiled. Perhaps her boy could make a friend here. "I'm Midoriya by the way, Inko Midoriya." Inko said, smiling at the lady.

"Ah! Where are my manners. Ojiro, Kagumi Ojiro. Now where were we. Ah yes, you wanted your son to learn martial arts in order to become a hero?"

"Yes. After learning about his quirk I wanted to find somewhere... suitable for him." Inko said.

"Oh yes, you did mention that. What was his quirk? If you don't mind me asking of course." Kagumi said

"It's a regeneration quirk." Inko said. "Ah, I can see why you would want him to learn martial arts then. But why do you still look so worried? After all, it is a regeneration quirk" Kagumi said

Inko smiled both tiredly and worriedly. "Well you see... the drawback from his quirk is that the pain he feels from injuries is 5 times higher than everyone else."

Kagumi looked shocked for a moment and furrowed her brows. "I see... yes, I can see why you would be so worried for him. That's one nasty drawback. Hmm... I can think of a few ways to accomodate that, but he will feel a lot of pain either way."

"Wha-what do you mean?" Asked Inko, now beginning to get more worried.

"Oh... I was just thinking of ways to accomodate that drawback. However, no matter what I do, he will feel a lot of pain from sore muscles after lessons." Kagumi said, brows still furrowed.

Inko sighed tiredly. She already thought of this. She doesn't go to the gym anymore these days, but she remember the muscle pain the day after a long run or a workout in the gym. She fears for her son, but this is something he will just have to work through.
