Third Person POV

Bakugo couldn't believe it.

He honestly couldn't believe it. At first, he thought that he was seeing things because there was no way in hell that something like this would ever occur. Unfortunately for the sandy blonde-haired boy, it seems like fate had other plans because that said thing was actually happening.

There was no denying it, Bakugo was actually seeing the real thing. The number one hero, All Might, was at the beach with none other than Deku, quirkless Deku, and that made Bakugo suspicious because why would All Might waste his time with Deku of all people?

Bakugo narrowed his eyes at the scene.

Bakugo: 'Something is not right... why is All Might with Deku?!'

Venom: 'They appear to be... training?'

Bakugo continued watching the scene payout before him, making sure to stay out of view as he watched as Deku struggled to pull a fridge; which was currently being used as a chair by All Might.

All Might: "Hey, hey, hey. This is such a comfy fridge to sit on!"

He looked down at Deku or his actual name, Izuku Midoriya.

All Might: "How you going down there?"

Unfortunately, Izuku didn't answer the number one hero as he continued struggling to pull the fridge; eventually, he couldn't take it, and he collapsed to the ground.

All Might: "People move these every day, you know, and most of them don't even have super strength"

Izuku groaned a little.

Izuku: "Well yeah, but... there's an extra 600 pounds with you sitting on top of it"

Bakugo couldn't help but roll his eyes at hearing Deku complain. It didn't matter if All Might was sitting on the fridge or not. He still wouldn't be able to move the damn thing because he was simply too weak. Bakugo knows this because he grew up with thr damn nerd for most of his life, and he wasn't the type that did exercise.

Although, where it came to things that involve an intellectual solution. Well, Bakugo doesn't want anyone to know about this, but Deku beats him when it comes to that category. The green-haired boy was simply too smart for his own good. Esspecially when it came to things like being a hero or quirks.

Bakugo may have quote-on-quote "torched" one of his books, but he knows that Deku has plenty more of those back at his home. Which is why he was gonna make sure that the damn nerd never finds out about Venom because if he does than he was not only going to be a muttering mess; but he'll find EVERYTHING out about thr symbiote very quickly.

All Might: "Nah, I've lost weight. So I'm down to 560 these days. We'll, in this form, at least"

Bakugo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in confusion and curiosity.

Bakugo: 'That form? What does he mean by that?'

Venom: 'Maybe it has something to do with his quirk'

Bakugo was surprised by that idea. Something to do with All Might's quirk; a mystery that hasn't been solved since he made his first appearance all those years ago.

Bakugo: 'Do you really think he's talking about his quirk?'

Venom: 'It's possible. Your memories showed me that no one has been able to figure it out, correct?'

Bakugo nodded his head.

Venom: 'Well, there's a chance that form you see him as now isn't his actual one but rather a transformation thanks to his quirk'

Bakugo: 'Then how do you explain the super strength and his speed? Like he punched that villain that captured me yesterday with enough force to change the weather!'

Venom: 'No sure, let's keep listening and find out'

Bakugo nodded as he continued watching All Might and Deku, who let out a small sigh as he looked at the number 1 hero.

Izuku: "It doesn't change anything, you know..."

He then looked at all the trash that was on the beach.

Izuku: "Why do you have me dragging trash across the beach anyways?"

All Might simply laughed as he took out his phone and began taking pictures.

All Might: "Haha! Take a look at yourself, you're not ready for my power!"

The greenette immediately turned back to the number one hero as tears began to spring from his eyes.

Izuku: "Wah! What you aew saying now is completely opposite of what you said earlier!"

Bakugo couldn't help but roll his eyes at Deku crying. He cried a lot and he meant a lot. So much so that you could fill an entire pool from his tears. It would definitely be gross, but it's something that could be done from thr amount he cried.

Sometimes Bakugo thinks that Deku crying was actually his quirk because it should not be physically possible for someone to cry that much. Well, it was either that or his crazy level of intelligence that would definitely put him on the path of a scientist.

Anyways, back to the more important things such as; Did he hear that correctly? Did All Might just say something about Deku, quirkless Deku, ready for his power?

Bakugo: 'What the hell is going o-'

All Might: "I'm talking about your weak body"

Bakugo: 'Huh?'

Izuku stopped crying and looked back at All Might.

All Might: "My quirk, One For All, is a whole lot to handle. The combined physical abilities of everyone who ever used it create a hurricane of force. An unprepared body can not fully inherit it"

He then pointed at Izuku.

All Might: "Your arms and legs would shoot off if you tried to!"

Izuku's eyes widen.

Izuku: "SERIOUSLY!?"

He soon gathered himself and started to look around with his arms crossed.

Izuku: "Oooookay. So.... this whole trash thing is really some kind of hardcore gym workout and...."

He then looked back at All Might.

Izuku: "You're my trainer?"

All Might gave a thumbs up.

All Might: "YES!"

He then hopped down from the fridge that he was sitting on.

All Might: "But there's also another reason, too. I did some long time research. Turns out this part of the beach used to be beautiful, but it's been a total mess for the past few years"

He lightly tapped the top of the fridge, causing a massive dent on it.

Izuku: "Oh yeah! Because of the ocean currents, anything that was dumped into the sea ended up here. People took advantage of it and threw their trash here"

All Might placed his hand back on top of the fridge and started to crush it slowly downwards.

All Might: "Heroes these days are all about showing off and fighting flashy villains. Things were so much different before quirks. Service is what mattered. Back then, Heroes were those who helped the community, even if it was kind of dull"

Suddenly, the fridge that All Might's hand was on soon became completely crushed as a hurricane appeared, blowing much of the trash in front of him and Izuku and allowed the sun to shine down upon them.

All Might looked up at Izuku.

All Might: "You will restore the coastline for this entire sector of the beach. That is the first step on your journey to becoming a hero!"

After hearing all of that, Bakugo was at a complete loss of words. Not only because of All Might destroying the fridge without much difficulty. But also because of what he had just told Deku.

He was gonna give Deku his quirk.

The number one hero, All Might, was gonna pass down his quirk to a quirkless nobody like Deku.

Bakugo: 'Venom, please tell me I'm only hearing things...'

Venom: 'You're not hearing this, Bakugo. The number one hero is actually thinking of giving his quirk to your old childhood friend'

Bakugo slowly clenched his hand into a fist as he stared at Deku with a look in his eyes. He couldn't believe it. Bakugo wanted to do nothing more than march over to Deku and beat his sorry ass into submission, number one here there or not.

Bakugo: 'Who does that little nerd think he is, some kind of anime MC that gets god-like powers!'

Bakugo gritted his teeth in anger.

Bakugo: 'When will get get it through his fucking skull. He's not hero material! Never was and never will be!'

Venom let out a soft chuckle, which got Bakugo's attention.

Venom: 'That is correct. He isn't, and this shall help us'

Bakugo: 'Huh? what do you mean?'

Venom: 'Since we possess this knowledge. I suggest we merely walk away'

Bakugo was surprised after hearing that suggestion.

Bakugo: 'Walk away!? Why should I wal-'

Venom: 'Because, Partner. We have more important things to do and besides... that green twinks time will come'

Bakugo wanted to do the opposite of what Venom suggested. He wanted to snap and yell at Deku. However, Venom was right; he originally came out here for his morning jog, and so far, he has been spending like 30 minutes spying on his former childhood best friend.

Like Venom said, his time will come. The greenette boy was weak. He wasn't a threat to them. THEY were so much more powerful than he was. THEY were better. THEY were stronger. THEY were united by a symbiosis; bonded to the molecular level.

Bakugo took in a deep breath before he exhaled.

Bakugo: 'You're right, Venom. We have more important things to do...'

He then turned away from the beach.

Bakugo: 'Let's get moving'

Venom: 'Good, now then. I think I saw a gym not too far from here. Let's give that a quick check'

Bakugo nodded his head in understanding. With that out of the way, the sandy blonde-haired boy began to walk away from the beach and away from both All Might and Deku; who were completely oblivious to Bakugo's presence. After hearing all of that, Bakugo definitely had a lot more things that were now added to his plate.

He did wonder though, who else knew about All Might's quirk? Like, besides Deku and now both he and Venom, who else would know about it? A part of him wants to say that the government also known since they have the information of all quirks that came into existence written down somewhere.

However, if that was the case, then other Pro Heros should know what All Might's quirk is. But Bakugo remembers that the idiotic group of Heros that tried to save him from the sludge villain were also surprised by All Might's incredible force, which means that... they didn't know about his quirks' full potential.

So there is a possibility that none of the Pro Heros know what All Might's quirk really is or that it can appearantly be inherited by others. How does that even work? how did such a quirk come into existence?

These were all questions that Bakugo had and knew that it would take a while until he got the answers he sought. For now, he should focus on taking a look at this gym that he passed by.

Bakugo: 'How far are we from this gym?'

Venom: 'Not far, just take the next right and we should be there'

Bakugo nodded in understanding and followed the directions that Venom provided to him, making him glad that the symbiote was paying attention to the surrounding area because Bakugo sure was not. Anyways, after a minute or two of walking; Bakugo finally arrived at his destination.

The sandy blonde-haired boy stood in front of the gym and began to give it a look over, examining how it looked and he had to say that he definitely wasn't expecting something... old school to say the least. The gym appeared to be a typical brick building that seemed to be around two or maybe three stories tall. The front was glass and had things such as posters and images of gym equipment slapped on the glass.

The most interesting thing that caught Bakugo's eyes however, was the sign that was posted above the front door that showed the words: Musutafu Gym, flashing in a neon color.

Bakugo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the sight before him.

Bakugo: 'This is the place?'

Venom: 'Yep, this is it'

Bakugo crossed his arms.

Bakugo: 'Doesn't seem like much'

Venom merely chuckled.

Venom: 'Looks can be deceiving, Bakugo'

Bakugo: '....True'

Normally Bakugo wouldn't go to such places, not because they were bad or anything but because he mainly focused on the versatility of his quirk above all else. But with the inclusion of Venom, Bakugo needed to know what else the bonding had done to his body; increasing his physical skills was simply a bonus.

Bakugo: 'Well, let's get this over with...'

Bakugo made his way up to the front door and grabbed a hold of the doorknob, opening it and making his way inside of the gym. Once he was inside, he was greeted by a sight of an interior that looked far better than how the exterior appeared. There was gym equipment everywhere ranging from treadmills, punching bags, and various other things and they all looked brand new, and ready to be used.

Looking around, Bakugo immediately noticed a couple of other people who seemed to be early risers, and they were doing their own workout routines.

Bakugo: 'Well, this is definitely an improvement from the outside'

Venom: 'Like I said. Looks can be deceiving'

Bakugo simply rolled his eyes.

Bakugo: 'Yeah, yeah. So what are we gonna do? People are gonna get suspicious if I just stand here...'

Venom: 'We start your workout routine'

Bakugo raised an eyebrow.

Bakugo: 'And how do you suppose I do that? I've never been to one of these, I've mainly focused on my quirk and its versatility'

Venom: 'Don't worry, Katsuki...'

Bakugo could feel Venom grinning within the depth of his mind.

Venom: 'I got us covered'

Bakugo just silently sighed to himself. He had a feeling that Venom would have something like this covered. He really gets the feeling that the symbiote did more than just watch him in his sleep.

Bakugo: 'Alright, Venom. Where do we begin?'

With that, Bakugo felt Venom took control over his arms and legs as the symbiote forced him over to a nearby treadmill where he got on, powered the machine on, and set it to a reasonable setting. Once the treadmill started to move, Bakugo felt Venom return control over his limbs back to him.

Venom: 'Start moving'

Without wasting any time, Bakugo started jogging on the treadmill. He wasn't sure how long to go for, nor did he know if he should increase the speed or not. He figures that Venom will let him know if he should or not. But for now, Bakugo had a lot on his mind to think about.

He just simply jogged with a calm and collected expression on his face; toning out all noise around him, whether they were from the machine or from the other people who were in the gym.

Bakugo didn't need to bother with them. He didn't know any of them, so there was no need to force himself to get to know anyone. Besides, he technically already had a partner, even though it was in the form of an alien symbiote that was bonded to him on the molecular level.

The fact that Bakugo knew this was completely bizarre. It was strange but also not really at the same time. Like he said when he first saw Venom's head, it was like he could feel the symbiote emotions; the curiosity, the relief, and so much more that Bakugo still didn't understand.

While Bakugo was jogging on the treadmill, Venom took control of one of his arms and began to adjust the machine to increase the speed; deciding that his host needed more of a challenge.

Time passed as Bakugo continued running on the treadmill, and even with the newly increased speed, he didn't appear to look the slightest bit tired. Of course, there were traces of sweat, but that was mainly because the spot that he was in was unfortunately directly in the path of the sun, which was shining through a nearby window.

Besides that slight annoyance, Bakugo seemed to be doing perfectly fine on the treadmill, and as Venom decided to increase the speed a little bit more; the symbiote host just kept running. This went on for a good long while.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

Fifteen minutes.

Thirty minutes.

Forty-five minutes.

And even after a grand total of fifty minutes, Bakugo still didn't even look the slightest bit widened.

This caught the attention of the other people in the gym as they were surprised that someone so young was able to run on the treadmill at maximum speed without fault or looking the slightest bit tired.

Gym Male 1: "Dude, you see that kid?"

Gym Male 2: "Yeah man, how the hell is he not tired?!"

A third one looked at the other two.

Gym male 3: "You think it has something to do with his quirk?"

They other two shrugged.

Gym male 1: "Hell, if I know, but one thing for certain. That kid is definitely something else"

The second couldn't help but nod in agreement as they continued to watch Bakugo. It wasn't just the males who were observing Bakugo. The women were also doing it as well.

Gym Woman 1: "Jeez, how long has he been running for?"

Gym Woman 2: "Not sure. But It has to be definitely closed to an hour"

Gym Woman 1: "Yeah, I don't want to mess with that kid"

Gym Woman 2: "Me either"

While they continued to gossip about the bizarre feat that Bakugo was doing. Little did they know that someone actually overheard them. At first, the person didn't think much about it. But curiosity got the better of them, and they couldn't help but shoot a glance over to the treadmill that Bakugo was on.

When they saw how fast that it was going, they were honestly surprised by the sight because even professional heroes have a bit of difficulty at such speed and it's worse for the ones who don't have speed quirks. Yet, some random kid was handling the speed like it was nothing, and that made no sense to the person.

They decided to investigate the matter and stood up from where they were and began to make their way over to Bakugo. At this time, Venom had finally decided that Bakugo has had enough time running on the treadmill and that it was time to move on to the next exercise.

Venom: 'Alright, that's enough running for now'

After hearing those words from the symbiote, Bakugo immediately turned off the treadmill and hopped off it.

Bakugo: 'About damn time, I swear i was gonna fall asleep'

Venom chuckled.

Venom: 'Ha, you won't be saying that on the next exersi- heads up, we got in coming'

Bakugo raised an eyebrow.

Bakugo: 'The hell do you me-'

???: "Gotta say, kid. I'm a little impressed that you were on there for so long"

Perking up by the new voice, Bakugo turned his attention towards the source and was greeted by the sight of someone that he immediately recognized from TV.

The person in question was none other than Mirko: The Rabbit Hero. A pro hero who was well-known and loved by the community for multiple reasons. She was a tan-skinned woman of average height. She had narrow red eyes with long, defined eyelashes and straight white hair reaching her thighs with bangs that extend to the left of her face. While slender and curvaceous in frame, Mirko also sported a lean, athletic, and well-defined build, especially in her arms and legs. Finally, the most eye-catching thing about Mirko and the reason for her hero name was the long white rabbit ears that pointed upwards above her head, along with a small and white round tail.

Bakugo knew Mirko. Not only because Deku basically mutters details about every single hero that he hears about. But he also knows about her because she was the only other Pro hero who caught his attention. Unlike the degenerates, Bakugo respects Mirko because she was very strong for someone whose quirk only gave them a pair of long ears.

Bakugo: 'Looks like she's here to work out as well'

Venom: 'What makes you say that?'

Bakugo wanted to deadpan at Venom's words.

Bakugo: 'Her outfit and the bag she has in her hands'

Venom: 'Oh...'

Bakugo silently sighed as his gaze shifted over to Mirko's outfit for a quick second. It was basically the same thing that the other women in the gym were wearing. It consisted of a tight black top and tight yellow pants with a pair of red and white shoes, while carrying a black bag in one of her hands.

Mirko crossed her arms.

Mirko: "What's the matter, Kid? Rabbit, got your tongue or something?"

Bakugo: "No, I'm just surprised..."

Mirko raised an eyebrow.

Mirko: "Surprised? Surprised about what?"

Bakugo: "That the Pro hero who prefers to be a lone-wolf decided to come over and talk to me rather than simply ignore me"

Mirko was taken slightly aback by Bakugo's words. She honestly thought he was gonna say something else. Like at first, she thought that he was gonna say that he was merely entraced by her beauty. If that was the case, then she wouldn't need to speak to the sandy blonde-haired boy anymore.

Mirko was a woman, a good-looking one at that, so she knows what it's like to receive 'looks' from people. She's gotten a ton of those from people, mainly boys around Bakugo's age and older every now and again. While annoying at times, brief glance to appreciate something and then go back to whatever you were doing. That was fine in her mind. It was the leering that was creepy. She had seen people stare at her ass while jogging on the machine or at her chest when doing certain upper body exercise.

Yet, Bakugo was more surprised by the fact that she decided to waste her time by talking with him.

Mirko: "Y-your surprised that I'm talking to you?"

Bakugo nodded.

Mirko: "And you're not just entraced by my beauty, like your eyes weren't immediately drawn towards my tit's or my ass?"

Bakugo couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose as he let out a small sigh.

Bakugo: "Yare Yare daze, do you take me for some sort of degenerate?"

Mirko: "Um..."

Bakugo crossed his arms.

Bakugo: "I don't have time for such pointless nonsense, I got more important things to do like train for the U.A. High entrance exam"

Hearing the words U.A high immediately got the attention of not only Mirko. But the attention of the other people within the gym as they looked at Bakugo, with some of them having surprised expressions. The main reason for this was because U.A High was known to have a very low percentage of acceptance.

Gym Male 1: "Holy shit, did you hear that?! Hes trying to get into U.A!"

Gym Male 2: "That kid sure has a lot of guts for something like that"

He then looked at the third male.

Gym Male 2: "You think he can pull it off?"

Gym Male 3: "Why the fuck you asking me!? I don't go to U.A, I work at fucking Mc Donald's!"

Mirko heard the chatter from the other people, but choose to ignore them as she focused on Bakugo.

Mirko: "So, your trying to become a hero are ya?"

Bakugo: "Not just any hero...."

He narrowed his eyes at the rabbit Hero.

Bakugo: "The next number one hero..."

Mirko wasn't surprised by Bakugo's declaration because she was sure that numerous other kids wanted to be like All Might. No, what surprised her was how serious he sounded.

Mirko: "Tell me, Kid. What's your name?"

Bakugo: "Bakugo, Katsuki Bakugo is my name"

Mirko hummed in acknowledgment as she gave Bakugo a look over to see what she was dealing with and she had to admit that he looked alright. His build was okay, but she knew that since he wanted to be a hero than he could do with a little more muscles in his arms.

Mirko: "Not bad, Kid. But you have a long way to go before your ready for U.A High. What kind of exercise you doing?"

Bakugo crossed his arms.

Bakugo: "You don't need to know"

Mirko: "Oh?"

She placed her hands on her hips as she raised an eyebrow at the sandy blonde-haired boy.

Mirko: "And why's that?"

Bakugo: "Cause I doubt you'll be able to keep up"

If there was any music playing in the gym than it would have immediately paused on the spot from what Bakugo had just said to Mirko. The other attendees who were still eavesdropping on the conversation between the two; their eyes immediately widened as shock began to appear across their faces from the young man's words and some even began to lose their color.

He did not just say that. Some of them hoped that they misheard the sentence because Bakugo did not just say that Mirko, the rabbit hero, one of the most confident heros in all of Japan; wouldn't be able to keep up? If he actually said that, then he was a idiot.

Even Mirko herself was shocked by Bakugo's words as she froze on the stop, staring at the young man while one of her eyes twitched slightly.

Mirko: "D-did, you just say that...."

Bakugo: "Hm?"

Mirko's shocked expression soon hardened as she glared at Bakugo.

Mirko: "Did you just say.... I wouldn't be able to keep up?!"

Bakugo couldn't help but feel a little bit amused by Mirko's question as he let out a small chuckle and looked at her with a savage grin slapped across his face; his eyes glowing with a faint red hue.

Bakugo: "And what if I did?"

Mirko continued to glare at Bakugo with a look of hatred and annoyance in her eyes. However, her gritting teeth soon began to change into a small smile.

Mirko: "Well then, Brat..."

She dropped the bag that was in her hands and proceeded to slam her fists together as she looked at Bakugo with her own savage grin, her eyes also glowing with a faint red hue.

Mirko: "Let's see if you can back those words up!"

Bakugo heard Venom let out a chuckle of amusement.

Venom: 'Hmmm, I like her'
