- All right, little ones. You hired me to train you?
- That's right.
Tsuyu and I nodded our heads.
- What are your skills?
I shrugged, and so did Tsuyu.
- We went to a dojo, so we know the basics of hand-to-hand combat, knife and sword skills, and we also went to a shooting range.
- I see...
The hero sighed.
- Well, let's start with an introduction... my hero name is Tiger, and I'm part of a group of heroes called the Wildcats. Our team specialises in mountain rescue operations, but we can give the baddies some heat too. And no, the rumours about me online are not true. I'm not Gay, I just lost a bet to Ragdoll back in the day, so I have to be a hero like this....
He pointed a finger at himself, apparently referring to his dress, except it wasn't surprising, because sometimes you see costumes like this....
- A quirk of a flexible body...
He ostentatiously twisted himself into several incredible poses.
- And now you.
I shrugged.
- Izuku Midoriya, fourteen and a half years old, whimsical....
When I said I didn't have a quirk Tiger raised an eyebrow in surprise, but that was the extent of his reaction.
- When I was a kid, the one bastard who gave the gene material for my birth...
- That's what he calls his father.
I threw an annoyed glance at Tsuyu who made that comment.
- Silence, silence, silence!
She raised her hands in a gesture of surrender.
I wagged my finger at her and decided to continue.
- So that scum did an experiment on me resulting in a genetic mutation that is registered as Spider Powers.
Tiger nodded.
- It is expressed in the strength of a spider, that is, I can lift about one hundred and fifty to two hundred times more than I should be able to lift at my size with constant training. At the moment, the maximum weight I can lift is about ten tonnes.
- How did you work that out?
- Izuku is a genius.
- М?
- He created a training room for us in his basement that allows us to do certain exercises. It's very complicated in general, but Izuku was able to do it, just like he was able to create the suits for us.
Tsuyu patted the case she was holding with her hand.
- Can I continue?
I looked at Tsuyu and Tigre alternately.
- Yes.
- Good...
I nodded at the hero's words.
- ...I'm also very flexible....
After placing the case on the floor, I immediately twisted myself into several figures, showing that my flexibility was inferior to Tiger's, but not by much.
- ...and I can do this...
Jump, and I stick my fingers to the ceiling, which was almost three metres high. After which I calmly pull myself up and sticking my feet to the ceiling, crawled along the ceiling.
- Something like this.
I jumped off the ceiling.
- Well... you're all clear... you still need to test your sparring skills of course, but you're more than good.
- Thank you.
- Is it my turn now?
Tsuyu tilted her head to the side questioningly.
- ''Yes.
Tiger nodded.
- Tsuyu Asui, age the same. Quirk: Frog shape. Because of my body structure, I can't run very well, but I can jump very high. For example, Izuku, when we found an abandoned construction site, jumped to the first floor without any problems, while I could jump to the fifth floor. I can also climb vertical surfaces, but not as well as Izuku. I can camouflage myself with the environment...
A couple of seconds and her body seemed to dissolve into space. No, you could still see her if you focused your eyes on where she was standing, but you had to know she was there at all. And the suit I'd made enhanced the camouflage.
- Hmm...
Tiger scratched the back of his head.
- Alright, let's check what you can do, you Tsuyu first.
She nodded.
- Can I change into the costume?
- Sure...
He pointed to an inconspicuous door, behind which Tsuyu changed into her costume and then stood in front of Tiger in a fighting stance.
I decided not to wait and went to change, so when I came out Tsuyu was already jumping around the room around Tiger, striking him with her arms and legs from one side and the other, and using her tongue to try to throw him.
Ten minutes in and Tiger finally stops playing and abruptly throws his arm out to the side and grabs Tsuyu, who was just flying past, pushing herself off the wall, by the leg.
The girl was not confused and started to throw dozens of punches with her free foot at the hand holding her, but Tiger only yanked her up and shook her slightly.
- Enough.
Tsuyu calms down and is lowered to the floor.
- What can I say?
He examines Tsuyu carefully.
- Not a bad style, it suits you, I have a friend of mine. She moves about the same way, so I can help you. We'll get you a better kick, work on your movement in space so it's harder to predict, get some gimmicks for your costume....
Tiger nodded his head at his words.
- Yeah. And now you.
He looked at me and I, having taken a fighting stance, looked at him carefully.
A dash!
It's not Tsuyu's jump, but it's not bad either, but when my fist hit a hard block, I didn't hesitate and stuck my knuckles to Tiger's hand and threw myself over him, hitting him on the top of his head.
- Hmm...
Tiger shook his head and became a little more serious.
- You didn't hit with full force, did you?
- Of course not!
I looked at him indignantly.
- I'm not some idiot who can't control his strength! If I had hit with all my strength, I would have killed you. So I'm keeping my strength in check.
- Then why do you train it?
- What about rescue missions? Lifting heavy debris, keeping a car from falling off a cliff.....
I shrugged.
- There are plenty of situations in which great strength would be needed. Yeah the same baddies quite often have quirks that make them stronger.
- I'm glad you realise that, now let's get on with it....
And Tiger has taken the fight to himself.
I make a step to the side, but I am caught by a hook and fall to the floor, but at the last moment I manage to put my hands and tense my muscles and push them to the side so that the leg of my trainer falls to the floor where I was a few moments earlier, and I manage to get on my feet and rush to his side.
The exchange of blows, accompanied by simply incredible for an ordinary person tricks lasted about ten minutes.
However, after the first success, I could not get Tiger, but he was rolling me on the floor of the training hall, not hesitating to hit me on the walls and the floor, and the force of the blow, judging by all appearances, was not restrained.
- Well...
When I couldn't get up, he was still going strong.
- I can tell you have a good style, but like your friend, it's a little too readable. I think that's what we'll do. The entrance age to Yuei is eighteen, so we have three and a half years to prepare you for what awaits you at the academy.
- We were thinking of going to Yueyi Preparatory School...''
Tsuyu looked slightly embarrassed.
- It's pointless.
Tiger waved his hand dismissing my friend's words.
- There is almost no combat training there, mostly they work on physical fitness, and continue to study the usual school programme. Well a little theory on rescue in various conditions give, but only theoretical.
We've had a lot of scrutiny.
- At school you can study on your own...
Tsuyu raised her hand like a decent girl.
- Yes?
- Izuku has already finished it and is studying at unis, and I can also pass the external exams.
Tiger shifted his gaze from Tsuyu to me, and I nodded affirmatively.
- That's good... what else do you do?
I shrugged.
- Writing games for smartphones.
- Hmm?
- Izuku writes, I'm good at drawing, and I draw various characters and maps at his request.
- I see...
- Alright, well, go get changed and go home, by next weekend I'll put together a nutrition and training programme for you and we'll have another sparring session. And yes. Get ready for a lot of sparring. And if you can pay a little extra, I'll talk to the partners and they'll join your training sessions.
- How much is a little?
Tiger sighed.
- Double it.
- Kwa?!
I cast a glance at Tsuyu. This is the first time in my memory that she expresses her surprise in this manner.
- Agreed. But the amount of training will also be doubled.
- Alright...''
Tiger nodded.
- And yes, since I made our suits myself, I can also make accessories for your activities, so if you have something that you need but you do not dare to buy, you can order me, for additional training I will make the necessary things.
I was met with an attentive look and after about a minute nodded.
- Stay right there.
After another five minutes I was brought gloves in the shape of a cat's paw.
- This is a test. If you can fix it, we'll negotiate for equipment, if you can't....
Tiger shrugged.
- There'll be nothing to talk about. Deal?
- Deal.
I shook the man's hand and took the gloves from him.
- Do you have the supporting documentation?
He arched an eyebrow derisively.
- Don't take this the wrong way, but it'll just be faster with it.
Tiger shook his head.
- No... these are very old gloves and all documentation on them was lost long ago.
- Okay...
I covered my eyes.
- I think at the next meeting I'll be able to tell you in more detail about the timeline and the expected result.
- Okay, now get out of here, I need to train myself....
- Okay, I'll see you next weekend.
I waved to Tiger.
- Bye mentor!
Tsuyu also waved her hand and we left the hall where Tiger had set up a meeting for our first training session.
