Y/N L/N, a girl with water quirk and an aspiration of becoming a hero, joins the U.A. Academy along with her previous school classmates - Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo. Although they weren't exactly 'good friends', they knew each other through t...
The new interns had an official group chat where Baiji provided them details about their schedule for the next day. And on the second day, as expected the hero agency wasn't going easy on them. Y/N had to wake up early at 4 a.m. along with the other girls. All of them were taken for physical training early in the morning.
"Alright interns, we all saw how your quirk works yesterday. It was just a test to see how much you have control and how much more you should work on. My assistants have looked at all of you and got a fair idea about how good you are, well except for one person," Baiji said as her eyes moved towards Y/N, "but we have enough time to work on that. Your first task today is to work on your physical strength, without your quirk. There can be times where you face a villian and your quirk isn't helpful. You have to use your brain and strength to fight them. Choose a partner to spar with and just like yesterday, my assistants will help you train and see your progress."
"Ma'am you won't be..here?" Y/N asked.
"No, but it doesn't mean you slack off. Anyone who does will get the double amount of training. I have some paperworks to complete," Baiji said.
"No you don't hav-" her sidekick immediately said but got interrupted. "And my sidekick have to work on weekends too," Baiji said glaring at him.
The students giggled at the sight. The assistants were right about how petty she can be.
"Okay!" Baiji clasped her hands together, "I'll be going then. See you in 5 hours!"
Y/N looked around when Oikawa jumped in front her, "Hello leader!"
"Huh?" Y/N stepped back a bit, "Oh hello...Okawa."
"It's Oikawa! Your planned worked yesterday! And I want to spar with you. Is that okay?" he said, "Since I saw you in the festival, I'm curious!!"
"Oh. Uh, yeah sure." Y/N said.

Y/N lost every spar with Oikawa and it was funny to the other interns apparently. It wasn't a surprise that some of them found her annoying. At this point she expected every other student in hero course to hate Class 1-A. But Oikawa was strangely patient with her, and not even once mocked her fighting skills. He did teach her new moves that would help, and Y/N was quick to learn and use it on him. But it felt like he always had some other move.
The one thing that she understood while fighting is that observing her opponent and predicting their moves was what she needed. Ofcourse in terms of simply physical strength Oikawa overpowered her but using her own moves, along with what he taught turned out to be fruitful. And she wasn't even once thinking about what others thought or how she looked at that moment. She was simply so focused that at some point she didn't realize the interns taking breaks and watching them.
When it was 9 a.m and their spar came to an end, Y/N sat down huffing along with Oikawa who was literally lying flat on the ground.
"Ah man, my cheek stings." Oikawa complained, "And my stomach hurts too. Those two punches were stronger than the others. Sorry I didn't go easy on you."
"No...you're a good teacher Oikawa," Y/N smiled at him after drinking some water and said, "Trust me I would be way more offended if you held back just because I'm a girl."
"Yeah, my friends and I kind of challenged each other a lot back in school. We weren't allowed to use our quirks so it was just physical fights and whoever lost had to buy lunch for the rest."
"Feel like you won a lot."
"Nope. In fact, there were others who were way better than me. All my moves are from watching them. But they aren't interested in becoming a hero."
"Really? I mean...everyone wants to be a hero these days."
"Yeah, they didn't want to do something so mainstream."
"Well, atleast you had someone to train with," Y/N muttered, "Must be nice."
"You didn't?"
"No...getting into physical fights was a disadvantage for me when I was friends with a boy who got bullied everyday. I mean, I could fight but they would outnumber me you know? I didn't want to get into trouble. And besides, people who want to get into hero courses don't respect the word 'hero' enough. How can they become one hero when they bully people with their quirks? The public will be the first to announce them incompetent and it wouldn't take much time for hero agencies to drop them. Where will they go after that? Their image as a hero and human being itself will be downgraded so much."
"....what the fuck," Oikawa blurted.
"Oh! Oh shit, sorry I ranted! I'm so sorr-"
"No, you're right! It's just that...it surprised me that I'm so focused on becoming a hero that I didn't notice these things at all! It just made me respect heroes a lot more than I did before."
"Huh..well...midnight thoughts, you know? Besides, I'm frustrated that I didn't even win one. I didn't really have any kind of training until recently."
The assistants reviewed their spar and told them what they should work on. For Y/N, she was getting better but she needed practice and her punches were a bit sloppy. Her moves were needed to be with more strength and accurate. But her kicks and defence style was good. On the other hand, Oikawa was appreciated a lot but had just one problem. He was enjoying the fight so much that if someone sneaked up on him, he wouldn't have any idea. He was used to one-on-one fights but not on multiple attacks.
Baiji entered the room after a while and said, "Oh my! Ya'll look like shit-" she stopped hearing her sidekick clear his throat, "I mean you definitely need some medical attention. Please go to the nurse and then have some food in the cafeteria. Your training will continue after breakfast. I'm sure you will feel lazy by then. But don't worry! My assistants will make sure to spar with each and every one of you!"
"Fucking great," Y/N thought.
Oikawa put Y/N's arm on his shoulder, helping her to walk. "Well, you should get ready to lose again," he said laughing.
"Your confidence reminds me of someone." Y/N sighed, not realising the blush appearing on her face. She wanted to text him and ask about his day but...she wasn't even sure if he considered her a friend.
"Aww, boyfriend?"
"No. And shut up."
"You really want me to shut up and not get curious after that blush?"
"God, why are you always so curious?! I swear my punches will leave nasty bruises in the next fight," Y/N scoffed.
