章 20: Surprise...!! {EDITED}

[POV Reo]

"So let's start with your Quirk, I can't work with it if I don't know anything about your Quirk" Rumi told me.

"My Quirk lets me control and manipulate metals, as you have already seen it in the tournament" I told her. I know she can be trusted but I wasn't be going to blabber about my actual Quirk on the first day I meet her.

She nodded and stroked her chin while thinking something. After some time she looked at me and scanned me from head to toe, to be honest, it felt quite uneasy.

"Ok, change into your Hero Costume. I will attack you from different directions, this time I will be using my full power so if I end up hitting you, then you die. I don't want my 1st intern dying, so try not to die. I want to check your reaction time" after telling me that she gestures me towards her house where I was going to change. I immediately changed into my Hero Costume and came out.

Both of us moved from her house towards the deeper part of the forest filled with tall trees.

"Get ready!" She exclaimed and my hero suit started to leak iron sand. Below the iron plates I have stored iron sand, I also had 10 grenade-like flasks at my back hanging from my belt. They also contained iron sand. This was the change I asked Aizawa to make in my Hero Costume. The quantity of iron sand wasn't that much but it was more than enough to fight against a single enemy while still having my defensive wall around me.

Rumi was about to attack me but stopped when she saw iron sand coming out of my hero costume. She smirked and nodded towards me approvingly and crouched on the ground like any wild animal would, she was ready to pounce on its prey. She did the same in the next moment, she pounced on me with a huge force which made the dust rise up from the place from where she launched herself.

For her, I was prey and she attacked me like that, she kicked in my direction which was stopped by my iron sand wall. She used the wall as a support and jumped away. I have to say, she got away from me much faster than Izuku did. I could catch her if I tried but I have to try hard. She landed on a tree and used that as a support to launch herself at me once again. This time the attack was much faster than before but I was still able to stop her. Even if she got faster it didn't bother me in the slightest.

She kept repeating the same thing and each time, her attack kept getting faster and faster. I have to agree that now her speed is giving me problems. So I started to use one of my hands to manipulate the iron sand. The reaction speed of my sand became much fatser which Rumi noticed in an instant. She kept attacking me like that for few more minutes before she finally stopped. Her final attack was the fastest I saw but I could react to that easily when using my hand.

"I have seen enough, your reaction time is more than decent. Now, I want to know what your physical capabilities are, I know for someone with a Quirk like yours it is pretty useless, but if you neglect it then you could face problems if some villain could negate your Quirk" Rumi told me and I completely agree with her even if that wasn't going to happen with me since no one could negate or steal my Quirk but I wasn't going to tell her that so I just nodded my head.

"I am going to be honest with you, I can't teach you anything about your Quirk but I could make sure that your physical body wouldn't be the weak link anymore. You won't gain special strength like those with strength like people with Quirks have, but you would definitely be able to defeat or surprise someone who would think you are physically weak" Rumi said to me with a serious look on her face. Now, she was in complete trainer and no no-nonsense mode, I have to say this makes her look cute.

"From today, you will be joining me in my physical exercise routine for the time period of your internship with me" Rumi said and gestured me to follow her. Well, I will say that I am not disappointed, after all, I came to her because of this particular reason.

"You can keep those metal plates on your body for the increased weight but I would appreciate it if you don't use them to help yourself. I wouldn't know if you use them but it will definitely be your loss since you won't gain anything throughout the week" Rumi said while she took me to what looked like a running track. I won't be using them, or my coming here would be a complete waste. I knew that myself.

Throughout the next 4 hours, I regretted thinking that. Rumi is a sadist, a slave driver. She made me follow a routine that made my whole body ache. But I know that if I survive through this hellish training camp, I would be much stronger than before. At least physically.

After my training was over, she kept training on her own and I have to say she is really beautiful. Her chocolate-colored skin and her sleeveless leotard were an instant kill combo if someone looked at her like I was doing. I don't think many get this opportunity though. I knew that I was her 1st intern and I don't think a villain would ogle her when she is trying to beat him up and break his bones.

Finally, I was able to get up again which made her stop her exercises. "I have to say, you impressed me. I never thought that someone with a Quirk like yours would be able to keep up so long with my training. Did you train on your own or had a trainer?" Rumi asked me curiously.

"Yes, I trained under Carmine Allesandro before I started UA. At home, I still follow his routine" I told her honestly. I didn't think that I needed to hide this. She also nodded after my trainer's name.

"I will be assigning you a new training routine, follow that routine from now on" She told me while she went inside, I followed her but didn't enter until she gestured me to enter.

"Aren't you a gentleman? I like you, Reo" she said to me while laughing.

She took out a paper and scribbled down something on it and handed it to me. I looked at it and almost passed out, but somehow I was able to hold myself back from doing that.

After that, she told me that day one of my internship was over. She left me to change back into my regular clothes. Before leaving I thanked her which she waved off. I somehow reached my home, Momo still wasn't back so I texted her before going into the shower. I rested and meditated the rest of the day until I went back to train with the new routine given by Rumi.

But before I did that, I went to check on Momo, she has replied to my text when I was meditating. I peeked into her room and saw she was soundly sleeping so I left her and went to train. The day was way too tiring for both of us, so I decided to sleep in my own room without doing any naughty stuff with Momo, but she texted me after dinner so that we could sleep together.

We didn't do anything except cuddling and kissing. Then we talked about our internships before we finally fell asleep.

The next morning was normal too, after breakfast I kissed Momo goodbye and went towards Rumi home to train. It was the second day of the internship. If I remember correctly, Izuku would develop full cowl today, he is training with Gran Torino and Stain will meet Shigaraki today.

So, the Hosu incident will happen tomorrow, and Izuku, Todoroki, and Iida will fight with him and get hospitalized. Let's see if I could jump in their fight with Stain before the others could fight him or the Heroes scare him away. At least I would try to reach him before he starts the fight with my classmates, I don't want any of them getting injured or even worse except for Bakugo. He can go take Stain's sword up to his ass and die for all I care.

I finally reached Rumi's house and followed the same routine which we did yesterday.

"I think you have a second Quirk" Rumi suddenly spoke during my training. This was completely out of my imagination, I thought that she might find out something related to my Quirk but honestly, I wasn't expecting this.

"What do mean by a second Quirk?" I asked her nervously. I am pretty sure that I don't have a 2nd Quirk, God didn't tell me anything about that.

"Now that I have seen your improvement since yesterday, I am damn sure you have a 2nd Quirk. This Quirk is boosting your physical body and stamina. There is no other way you could have gotten used to the training routine I have assigned you yesterday" she told me while looking at me.

"Did you ever feel that your previous training was useless and didn't improve your body or stamina?" Rumi asked me while she sat down right in front of me cross-legged.

"Yes, I did, I felt it strange that after training for just some time my strength or my Quirk would increase exponentially." I told her. Could it be that I really have a second Quirk that is making me get used to my training and boosting up my body? I don't know for sure but this needs to be experimented with, this also explains why my stamina kept increasing... is this some kind of pirated version of Zenkai Boost?...
