My Hero Academia: Blood and Fire

Celestia found that everyone turned in their slips with their three chosen agencies on the day that Aizawa specified, as each of them could pick a total of three heroes to learn from and it was up to the school to decide who went where, after taking time to contact the various heroes. For the sisters their first options were obvious, both of them picked their mentors first, it just made sense to them since Ryukyu and Mirko were similar to how they wanted to be seen as heroes, people who were focused on the job and less on popularity. After that they had looked over their lists and simply picked two other names to fill out the list, since they figured that leaving them blank might be seen as bad in the eyes of their teachers, while Izuku did his best as he looked over his list and the specialties of each agency. In the end neither sister was surprised to find that he went with All Might's teacher as his chosen work experience, because this would help him learn how to wield One For All, or at least that was what he was thinking about.

In addition to that she discovered that Toya was telling the truth, he did, in fact, text her on the weekend and she met up with him for a time, where they got coffee, chatted about casual things like the weather or something, before he let her tend to a small part of his injuries. It allowed him to find that she really wasn't pulling his leg, Sunshine did have the power to heal him, where Celestia continued to focus on the right hand for the time being, as she figured that she could continue from where she started and work her way to his body. She continued to note the severe amount of damage that was in his body, all from his own Quirk she realized, and silently wondered how Endeavor could have allowed such a thing to happen in the first place, that he could push his own child to basically destroy himself. When she thought about Shoto she guessed that the flame hero hadn't changed at all, not with how Shoto had started before Izuku got through to him, and she could see why Toya had some serious baggage when it came to his father, so she decided not to bring it up.

The only downside to this was that she couldn't mend more of Toya's body in one go, but he was fine with it since it looked like Sunshine grew stronger as she healed more, so while she could only deal with small bits now he was okay with this since it would help her Quirk grow, and soon she'd be healing more.

Other than that there was nothing else for her to really worry about, as when Monday arrived Aizawa brought them to the local train station, after each student had collected the suitcase that held their hero gear, as it was time for everyone to start their field training at long last. Sure enough she, Selene, and Izuku found that everyone had their suitcases and their school bags with them, meaning everyone was ready to go so they could learn how to be heroes from the professionals, though the only one who seemed distracted was Tenya. It was clear that he was thinking about his brother, that had been on his mind since the Sports Festival, and both sisters suspected he might do something incredibly stupid since it looked like he might have chosen the very area his brother had been attacked in, as if hoping for a repeat attack by the Hero-Killer. Everyone else in the class was excited for what they were about to do, as many had figured out their agencies without delay and were very happy to find that they had been accepted by the pro heroes they wanted to learn from.

"A reminder for all of you: this will last one week, so make the most of it. And don't lose your cases." Aizawa said, though this would be the first time these students would be in their costumes for a substantial length of time, in fact it would be the first time the people of Japan would see them in their various hero attires, so he made sure they knew not to lose them, before he heard the flap of wings as Ryukyu landed, "Ryukyu, what are you doing here?"

"I came to pick up my student." Ryukyu stated, where Celestia smiled as she walked over to the dragon for a moment, while at the same time letting her wings unfurl from her back, because once they knew that Celestia was coming to her agency they had made arrangements to meet up and then fly back together.

"Funny, I had the same idea." another voice said, causing the group to see that Mirko landed nearby as well, though that was followed by Selene smiling as she also walked over to her mentor, altering her form by turning her legs and hooves into what a tiger had, as they were going to run back to Mirko's base, "We've got some patrolling to do, villains to fight, and people to save... you know, the usual."

"Dude, I thought those were rumors... you mean to tell me that they've actually being trained by Mirko and Ryukyu?" Eijiro asked, as they had heard a lot of stories about how the sisters had been trained by a hero before the school year even had a chance to start, but seeing how the two heroes acted with Selene and Celestia, acting like proud mentors, confirmed each of the tales they had heard since the entrance exam.

"Yeah, they are. What can I say? They're amazing and even the pros recognize that fact." Izuku said, where he remembered how he had felt when he first learned that fact, that he had been envious of his sisters, but of course that was before he was picked to be All Might's successor, allowing him to understand what they had been through, before he nodded his head as he focused on his own train, "Selene, Celestia, good luck."

"You too, Izuku. Try not to do anything stupid." Selene remarked, as that fact was what she and Celestia were worried about, her brother had a bad habit of doing things that were considered stupid or foolish, so they were hoping that he would stay safe and actually learn things from this 'Gran Torino' that All Might wanted him to learn from.

Izuku nodded as he and the rest of the class dispersed, where he went on the train destined for the Yamanashi Prefecture, others were headed for Kyushu, and everyone else was scattered throughout the rest of Japan, though as his train left the station a few minutes later he glanced outside. He found Selene and Mirko rushing off, leaping from one area to the next as if they were racing, while at the same time Celestia and Ryukyu flew off in another direction, where he silently hoped both of his sisters did well with their own field training. With that in mind he focused on his notes, going over how he could continue to grow his power over Full Cowl, because his sisters had been right, using it was the key to him mastering One For All and this would allow him to grow his control over the Quirk. His journal was full of ideas and notes on what his classmates could do with their Quirks, him focusing on tips and tricks he could integrate into his own form, just as Selene suggested, and he was beginning to see the connections that would allowing him to master his Full Cowl.

He eventually found his way to what appeared to be an old retirement home or a slum, somewhere where someone could hide, and he freaked out the moment he opened the door to Gran Torino's room, as he was laying on the ground in what looked like blood, only for his head to pop up as he declared that he was alive. Izuku glanced at the area he was in and easily found a container of ketchup that looked like it had been crushed in some manner, and maybe a hot dog or something that the short old man had been intending on pouring it on. For a moment he found that the old man didn't seem to know who he was, making him worry that All Might's teacher had grown too old to be a mentor, though he instantly found that he was wrong since he moved at faster speeds that he was expecting, as Gran Torino collected his case and stared at his suit. The gear makers had taken the liberty to improve his mother's suit and make it like what a true hero would have, though Izuku found that his new mentor wanted him to hit him with One For All, even going so far as to bounce around the room with his own Quirk before becoming intimidating as he hung above the door frame.

"I saw your growth during the Sports Festival, but you require more to wield One For All." Gran Torino stated, showing Izuku that he was definitely more experienced when it came to the knowledge of the Quirk that All Might had been using for a long time, before he dropped down into the area in front of Izuku, "I need you to hit me, so I can see how much work we need to do to prepare you for whatever the future holds."

Izuku obliged without delay and changed into his new suit in the bedroom, his new mentor allowed such a thing, though as soon as that was done he took his stance as he activated Full Cowl, causing Gran Torino to shift his stance before rushing around the apartment. For the first few seconds Izuku studied his mentor's movements before reacting, where Gran Torino found that what was shown during the Sports Festival was just the tip of the iceberg that was Izuku's ability over One For All, as he was already analyzing his speed and power. Izuku was already faster than his last battle in the festival, while keeping his speed at a level that allowed him to catch up, causing the two of them to bounce around the apartment for a time, Gran Torino even crushed his microwave on accident while they did so, but he found that he didn't have time to slow down. Izuku was already leagues above how he started wielding One For All, the fact that he was maintaining his control of his Quirk all over his body was impressive, meaning he must have been mentally training or actually training this so he could keep up with his sisters.

Gran Torino smiled as he knocked Izuku to the ground, even though his cheek was grazed in the process, because he could actually see the potential in the boy after witnessing his power up close, he might just be a successful successor to One For All, potentially the one to beat All For One since he suspected that the villain was still alive, and was eager to prepare Izuku for whatever the future held in store for him.

Hisashi set down the phone that he had been using recently, as Selene and the spy in Class 1-A had confirmed that it was time for their work place training to start, and he silently wished his children well, even though he wondered how much his son would learn since he was going to Gran Torino's place. He was honestly surprised that the old hero was even still alive at this point, as he had been friends with the Seventh User of One For All, a mentor to the Eighth, which was All Might, and now it looked like he would be teaching Izuku, the Ninth as he counted the Users. He was still greatly annoyed by the fact that All Might had given his own son the Quirk he had sought for a long time, especially the fact that their meeting wouldn't have happened had Hisashi let Izuku keep the copy of All For One he had inherited from him. He had ideas on how to obtain his brother's Quirk from his son, while giving him something that would allow him to live his dream of being a hero, but for now he was leaving his children to their lives as he focused on trying to improve the lives of villains.

As he thought about that he focused on the screen in front of him, where Tomura was focused on speaking to Stain, the one known as the Hero-Killer, because he had determined that speaking with him might be the kick in the pants that Tomura was in need of, even though Stain had knocked Tomura to the ground.

"You, boy, are the kind I despise the most: you are a child in a young man's body, throwing a tantrum about something you don't like, and you expect me to ally with you?" Stain remarked, though he had refrained from attacking the one that was behind the bar counter, since he seemed to be under orders to just watch this exchange happen, hence why he was focused on the boy with the weird hand fetish, something he found to be somewhat disturbing, "You have no creed, no way of life... you just seek to destroy everything that displeases you. You, voice from the screen, what about you?"

"You can say that I have a creed. What I seek is to balance the scales between heroes and villains, to discourage those who are focused on the dollar and promote those who truly seek to save lives." Hisashi said, though there was a lot more to him than what he could say in a few minutes, but he was going to share what he could in the time that he could, in the hope that Stain listened and might continue to impart wisdom to Tomura, "At the same time I wish to help those who unfortunate souls who have been brought down by society, those who are called 'villains' because they were born with a 'devil Quirk' or were handed a crappy hand. I was like Robin Hood once, you know, taking Quirks from those who were abusing them and giving them to those in need, usually to defend themselves and stop the pointless bloodshed, and yet society at the time deemed me a villain."

"So... you, too, seek to bring down the hero society and replace it with a more righteous one, where only true heroes exist and all fakes have been expelled." Stain commented, though inside he was pleased, the true leader of the League, as he had a feeling that was who the voice was despite the hand boy being the one he had been presented to, wanted to help those who were in need, help the world as a whole, and yet society had damned him, so he wanted to break the system and bring in one where people were actually helped and only true heroes patrolled the streets, "I might be open to working with you, the true leader of the League of Villains, but there's no way I'm working with this man child... sure, we both seek to bring an end to the current society, but all he craves is destruction. Now that the conversation is over, return me to my work... I'll think about your offer, Leader."

Hisashi told Kurogiri to return Stain to the area that they had found him in and it wasn't long before he used a black gate to return to the city they had found him in, all while he could practically hear Tomura fuming from his screen, causing him to keep the connection up for a time.

"He is right, Tomura. You need to focus less on the destruction you can cause and focus on what you can do for the people of Japan." Hisashi stated, because he knew that Tomura seemed interested in Stain and was hoping that the boy learned something from his encounter with the Hero-Killer, but, if he knew the boy as well as he thought he did, he suspected that this would only add fuel to the wrong fire, "Stain has some worthwhile ideas and motives for you to learn from, all you need to do is watch him and learn from him."

"No, fuck him, I hate him... I'm going back to my games." Tomura remarked, which seemed to be his answer for everything when he was displeased about something, ditching reality so he could spend some time gaming and calming his nerves, and it seemed like his meeting with Stain had, in fact, stained his opinion of the Hero-Killer.

"Sensei, he seems to be getting worse." Kurogiri said, speaking once he heard the slam of the door as Tomura returned to his room, where he would no doubt power on his computer and either watch videos or play one of the games that was on it, but the boy wasn't improving like his sensei wanted.

"I know... I'm hoping I can get through to him, otherwise I might have to find someone else who can inspire change in the rest of society." Hisashi replied, because right now he suspected that Dabi could be a decent replacement for Tomura, the young man had his own creed and plans, and with meeting Celestia he suspected that they were changing for the better, to which he sighed for a moment, "Let us observe for a time and hope for the best."

He was hoping that he could get through the tough shell that Tomura had set up around himself, but it was a tough battle since the boy's hatred for All Might and heroes are far stronger than he had thought at first, causing him to sigh as he hoped that his children were having fun with their chosen agencies and were learning to be true heroes, all while wondering what the coming days might throw at them next.
