The Guardian

Chapter 5

Last night's events were all over the news. They wouldn't stop talking about how a teenager had managed to stop a villain. Most people would remember that day for how they witnessed a clash between man and monster, but not me. I'll remember it as the day I met my new mentor.

After Midoriya gave me his encouragement he gave me the address to a gym. He didn't say much about it, other than the fact that we would be spending a lot of our training there, and that only the strongest fighters across the globe had permission to be there.

His words made me question if I belonged, but he assured me that it would be okay. He apparently knew the owner.

Today is the day that our training will begin, and I don't know if I should be scared or excited. I made my way over to the gym, questioning whether I had come to the right place or not. But once I entered I could hear something that would assure that I was in the right place.

The second that I opened the door I could hear the sound of men roaring, weights being thrown into the ground, and punching bags being obliterated. The sight of many different men, warriors, lifting incredible weights and showing off their strength was terrifying, but at the same time it was awesome.

The structure of the gym was simple, it had concrete floors and walls with different machines and weights for training. There were punching bags, and a massive cage for sparring matches.

I was going to continue admiring the gym, until I heard the aggressive voice of a man approach me from the right.

"Hey kid! What do you think you're here?!" He said, his voice filled with anger.

His figure was incredible. He was two and half meters tall, with inhumanly big muscles, and blond hair that was shaved. As he spoke I could catch a glimpse of his teeth. They looked like fangs, as if they could bite through stone like it was butter... Maybe they have...

"I- I'm looking for someone." I answered, while stuttering on my words. The man seemed to be more annoyed, as he got closer and asked.

"Who may that be?!" With the same ominous voice as before. I wanted to answer him, but I was terrified. Each step he took felt as if it shook the earth, is this guy even human?!

"Kirishima! There you are!" I heard Midoriya say as he walked up to me. The man stopped in his tracks and looked over towards Midoriya.

"What's going on here?" Midoriya asked the man, not bothered by his aura. The man had seemed to calm down, as he answered.

"Nothing, didn't know he was with you. So is he a new punching bag?" With a normal voice. Midoriya was still unfazed, as he smiled and answered the man's question.

"Actually, he's my student." With a calm voice. The man was shocked when he heard this, as if he had seen a pig flying. He then turned towards me, shock still written over his face. After he got a look at me he smiled, and then said.

"You have a fine teacher, can't wait to see what you turn out to be." With a more joyous voice. He then turned around and walked away without a second thought.

I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding, as Midoriya came up and asked.

"You okay?" With a little hint of concern. I looked at him as I answered.

"Yeah I'm fine." As I was calming down a little. He nodded, before he looked towards the giant of a man and said.

"That's Jack Hanma, he's a pitfighter from Canada." With a calm voice. I also looked towards the giant, as I said.

"He's massive, what kind of quirk lets you become something like that?" With an awed expression. Midoriya didn't change his tone, as he answered.

"None, that's your answer. Because Jack is quirkless." As if it was obvious. I was shocked, as I asked.
