Seventy
Izuku leaves for his work study an hour after breakfast, leaving me pretty much alone, I still got Tenshi. "I better call Hawks." I sigh in my room. I open up the text from Twice and dial the number.
"Hello?" the hero answers after the second ring. "Greetings Hawks.' my voice is higher than normal "I heard that you want to join my squad."
"So you are the so call queen huh?" he asks "You sound you get than I expected."
I chuckle "Or were you expecting a man rather than a woman, Mr. Hawks."
"Hawks is fine, and maybe. So am I getting an interview over the phone? Heard those are popular."
"No, this is just me making sure this is the correct number. I will text you the date and time closer to the event." I tell him "I prefer to meet you in person. Be ready for my message." I hang up my phone before picking Tenshi up "Let's take you to Toya." I say to her as I grab my gym bag.
I walk into the dojo, Tenshi asleep in my arms because the idiot isn't at the dorms.
"Azula!!" one of my training partners hugs me "You're not dead!" she squeals. "You should know by now that I can beat Death's butt without trying." I chide her, trying very hard not to yell in pain as she suffocated my burnt arm, probably making it bleed again. Good think I packed a small first-aid kit.
"Whatever showoff." Kamaitsu, my friend, then notices my child "No wonder I haven't seen you here in a while, someone been busy.
"Ye-" I process what she meant "Baka!" I elbow her in the fut before walking to the changing room "There these things called bozos with quirks.
Kamai, as I call her, follows me wen though she is already change "So you got a boyfriend!" se squeals, again. "Yes I do." I say, a smile starting form at the thought of him. "Looks like someone is in love." she giggles "Which UA boy thawed your frozen heart?" Kamai already knows about me becoming a hero and majority of the crazy details of my life.
I put the sleeping Tenshi down on the bench. "If you look you would know." I tell herz taking my shoes off. With her knowing I'm a Todoroki, it shouldy take long for her to figure it out.
I take my jeans off as Kamai comes over for a closer look at my daughter. I hear her, the teen, gasp "You're dating Deku?!" she squeals quietly this time as I put my sports bra on with my biker shorts. "Yeah," I put my promise ring on its necklace "wait, why did you call him 'Deku'?" the only ones who consistently call him that is Bakugo and Uraraka. "That what he introduced himself as when he got here." she sounds confused.
"He's here?!" I squeak, I kinda didn't tell him that I would be working out despite my burns. "Yeah." she smiles, but this is also a dojo owned by Gunhead and Izuku is supposed to be at Nighteye's for his work study.
"Come on!" Kamaitsu goes to grab my arm but she stops "You're bleeding Azula." I look at my arm and sure enough the bandage is turning red again "Probably from when you hugged me." I sit down next to Tenshi, who stirs a little, and starts unwrapping my arm. "Can you get the first-aid kit from my bag please?" I ask her, the gauze is only read in a few spots "And the trash can too."
She does as I request before asking "When did you get that?" I give a brief description of the events of last night at Work as I put some gauze on my arm, I should probably go to Recovery Girl or talk to Toya in consern to my burn. "Does Deku know?" she starts wiggling her eyebrows. "Yes he does." I answer "He's the one who rewrapped it this morning." I wrap it back up before putting everything else away and picking up Tenshi.
"Shall we get going then?" I smile, Tenshi is now awake and playing with her Deku doll.
"Since you are here," she put her hands behind her back before pointing the end of a knife at me "I challenge you to a duel."
"You're on." I smirk as I grab my water bottle.
We walk out of the locker room and toward the ring. Majority of the patrons coming to watch the match between Kamai and I. All but two, they are too busy in a match of their own. "At least try to land a hit!" I hear a familiar voice in the ring as we walk over.
It's Lemillion versus Deku, and thankfully for many, Lemillion is in costume.
Us ladies step into the ring but saying off to the side so not to interrupt. I lean against a post as Tenshi waves her toy around. "Dada?" she says, pointing at her father. I nod my head but putting a finger to my lip. As I continue to watch the fight, but she wants to be held by her father. Tenshi reaches out to him, I adjust her so that she won't get loose against her wishes. "Dada." she whimpers as tears threaten to fall from her eyes. "Dada will be over here in a little bit." I tell her, kissing her head. Just as I do so, Izuku and I make eye contact making him blush a little. Tenshi sees Izu looking in our direction, causing her to start reaching for him again.
Togata [Got his last name Woohoo!] notices Kamaitsu and I waiting and majority of the patrons gathered around.
"May we have a turn boys?" I ask them as their fight cease when Togata sees us.
"Sure." The boys exits the ring, Tenshi finally getting her wish, Kamai and I takes our spots. "The usual minimal quirk use?" I ask.
"Of course otherwise I will win right off the bat."
"Don't over confident yourself or I'll have to knock that ego down to size." I smirk. Someone says for us to start and Kamai runs toward me, her knife drawn. A real and sharp one, probably giving Izuku a slight heart attack. Don't worry dear, I'll make this quick.
I block her attack with an ice blade before quickly disarming Kamaitsu. "Someone wanted to impress her boyfriend." she whispers. "More like didnt want him to start worrying too much, since I'm injured and all." I shrug before giving the crowd a bow.
Everyone leaves to go back to whatever they were doing before aside from the UA students and Kamai. "That was pretty impressive." Lemillion tells me. "Thank you." I smile. "That was quicker than normal though." Kamaitsu turns to me with a jokingly irritated look. "Not my fault you gotten slow." I shrug before asking the boys why they are here.
"Sir Nighteye told us that there is someone here that can help us with our fighting styles." Togata answers, Izu nods in agreement as Tenshi plays with the mask on his costume. "Did he give you a name or anything?" Kamai asks. "Yeah," Izuku says "but he gave us a different person each. Togata-senpai got Damatachi Kamaitsu, but I got someone who goes by T.A."
"Well," Kamai puts two fists on her hips "I'm Damatachi but you can call me Kamai." the girl says to her new pupil. "Really? Excellent!" the almost-hero grins. I shake my head more towards Sir Nighteye's choice of teachers for these two boys; it shouldn't be too hard to do, unless Izu goes easy. "Now I need to figure out who is going to teach me " Izu huffs as the other two go into the ring to start the lessons.
I smile a little "Don't worry, I think I already know who it is."
"Really? Who?" his eyes widen in my direction as Tenshi moves on to playing with his hood. "Well, 'T.A.' got to be their initials." I tell him. The teen-father thinks about it for a second before saying the named that the initials stood for, "Todoroki Azula".
"Yup." I say "Though, it would be hard to train with Tenshi." I watch Kamai land hit after hit on Lemillion, much to the latter's surprise. "Yeah." Izu replies. "We can start later today if you want." I suggest "Starting with the basics."
"Really?"
"If you want to."
"But what about your arm?"
"I'll be fine." I tell him. "Azula!" I hear Toya call, I turn "What?" I ask.
"Shoto said that you were looking for me." he leans on a nearby post. "Toto!" Tenshi squeals before before getting taken by her uncle "And what are you doing here Angel?" I now being one upped by my baby, fine by me.
"Come on." I grab Izuku's wrist and drag him to a private training room.
It's about the same size as the one at home and looks the same just without any burn marks. "Why are we back here?" Izu asks, "Why else?" I ask in return "Toya can watch Tenshi for a bit so we can do a bit of training." I let go of his wrist and walk a few paces from him before turning back around in a fighting stance.
"Come at me." I say, Izuku hesitantly charges up One for All before I add "Without your quirk." the lightning falters "Huh?!"
"What? We don't need to destroy the place." I shrug. He nods before coming at me, but I don't think he is actually going to try.
"After eleven minutes, the fight comes to a close with me as victor. "You weren't really trying." I say, he opens his mouth to argue but he closes it.
"Come at me again, but don't worry about my arm, that's for me to worry about. Okay?"
The boy nods before coming at me with a banzai attack and actually aiming for my burnt arm.
Once, in the fight, I make mental notes of his offence, I take the chance and change into more an offensive forcing Izuku to go to take defence. Definitely a place to improve upon.
"Okay." I say, ending the fight "I think I know what needs to be done."
"Y-you do?" he asks surprised, I nod "Your offence is good, once you stopped worrying about me. But your defence could use some work." I explain, Izuku nods as I continue "But in all, you are good. Usually it takes a few years to get as good as you are, and to get this far fighting me: You're on the road to greatness." I smile the last but.
Izuku rubs his neck, blushing a little "I'm not that good, I just see patterns and take notes."
"All necessary in a fight." I smile before checking the time, it's almost 1500 (3pm) "Okay that's enough for now. We can do more tomorrow or so."
Izuku gives me a weird face that I haven't seen before "What?" I ask.
He quickly/hesitantly explained about training with All Might before the entrance exam. "He did WHAT?! Is he stupid?!" I exclaim "For crying out loud he could've killed you with the schedule alone!" Izuku flinches when I yelled, I don't blame him. "Sorry, but what he did was too much, if you were training since preschool and just the training alone it would have been bad judgement. But the training and the lack of sleep as a noob, just no, that takes things to a whole new level."
"Heh, I mean I only had ten months if it." he says. Heaven help the former hero if I get a hold of him "He still could've made sure you get enough sleep." I fold my arms over my chest with a small huff. Izu comes over and wraps his arms around me, placing a light kiss on my lips "I know, but at least I'm here."
"Yeah, but still, I wouldn't have done that to me. Even if I had only twenty-four hours to get ready." I mutter.
