After Mirio moved away, I noticed two notifications I had ignored because I was focused on the fight.

Sighing at the missed boost I calm myself thinking that I had gained 2000 XP with just a fight, without having to risk my life by dungeon diving.

Mirio was already up and moved his hand to help me get up.

" You are seriously above what I expected Izuku, even though you weren't able to win you showed skills above every first year I have ever seen, you can remain calm and think logically even during a fight, and your last attack would have hit me, but I once lost for something like that so I knew you could have pulled a fake strike to hide your real one."

Sighing one last time, I grab his hand to get up and relax my hurting muscles, that punch is still making my arms feel like jelly.

" Yeah sure, your quirk is busted, I can't think of anything I could have done with my current skill set that would have beaten you, if I had some type of hero support items I might have had a chance, something to cover your vision even if momentarily possibly, or maybe something to cover the ground with so that you wouldn't been able to pop out anywhere near me without hurting yourself, even a shield would have been good to block that punch, or-"

" Dude, calm down, even though my quirk seems strong, it is only because I trained to let it become so when I first started using it, it was more like a nightmare than anything, I always felt like suffocating and all I could see was darkness, it took some time before I was able to only partially make parts of my body intangible, you have been training only for 10 months, I am sure you will become more powerful then me if given enough time," Mirio said to try and make me fell better.

I waited for an instant to react, and then simply nodded, he has had his power since he was 4 years old, and from the looks of it he trained to use it to its full potential, on the other hand, I have only been the gamer for 10 months.

" Here, you don't get scolded again by Aizawa because you are naked," Nejire said while using her quirk to drag Mirio's clothes to him.

The smile on his face disappeared, losing all colour, he immediately began wearing his clothes, afraid of what Aizawa could do to him.

" I guess you have a costume made out of some parts of your body to prevent this from happening during a hero fight, am I right?"

" Yep, you have no idea how long I was scolded for exhibitionism during the entrance exam." Mirio Laughed while putting his pants on.

" I think I can picture Aizawa screaming while Nezu is laughing." 

" Spot on description of what happened," Nejire said while laughing.

" Since I discovered Mirio's quirk, can I ask for yours? Nejire's seem to be related to some spinning energy generation she can control, but I have no idea what yours is." I said while looking at Tamaki.

" Ehm... I can manifest aspects of whatever I eat through my body."

My mind went down the sinkhole "Whatever you eat? Does that mean that if you eat something barely digestible for a human stomach you could show that effect? Or maybe your quirk makes you able to digest anything? Have to ever tried eating something that isn't considered food? Like paper or cardboard, these could be the easiest to test out if you are to manifest an object's properties."

" I... never tried, never thought the paper was appetizing, much less a pair of scissors."

" But what if they are mixed in food? What if you were to eat iron sand mixed in food so that you wouldn't feel it while eating? Would you digest it and get its aspects, or would it do nothing to you?"

"..." Tamki stayed silent, maybe he was thinking, or maybe I scared him because of how fast I spoke and closed up on him.

Noticing what I was doing, I took a step back and coughed on my hand.

" Sorry, my curiosity got the best of me," I said while scratching my head.

" Don't worry, your ideas on how to use my quirk are quite interesting, thank you." Tamaki quickly said while waving his hands in front of me to make me less worried.

Both Nejire and Mirio laughed at our discussion, Mirio finally not letting us continue our school exploration, which only had a few places left, the last one being my new home for the following three years.

" Well, thank you for being entraining guides, I am quite tired though, soooo."

" Oh, of course, see you soon Izuku," Nejire said while dragging Miro and Tamaki away.

Closing the door of my new house, I sighed and launched my body on the couch, finally having a chance to relax and be alone.

'... Guess this is the start of my hero journey then.' I smiled thinking of myself as a hero for the first time.

And I had no idea of big of a hero I would become, but that is in the future.
