Episode 5 Uraraka and Aoyama: intermission

-You guys arent gonna let me go are you?-

-Nop- a boy with flaming hair was enjoying the show far off sitting besides a tree. His popcorn was already gone, but his amusement was still there.

-Indeed. You are now my student, you have no say on the matter. Now, on your feet.- said a sharped eyed boy, that was dressed on a hawain shirt, in comanding tone.

-Seriously!?- Uraraka Ochaco was very regretful in that moment. Regretful of giving her number to the weird duo of boys she encontered in the entrance of UA. In fact, it seemed that the Green eyed boy didnt want to let her go. As the exam ended, Izuku carried her in bridal style (much to her embarresment) to the hero Recovery girl so she could heal her. In the middle of all that, another gallant boy spoke to the other participants so he could introduce the hero, while dragging the attention of her savior. When they started to talk and comment about wine of all things. Then his blonde/redhaired friend appeared from out of nowhere and dragged them all three to celebrate the exam (he insisted so friendly it was hard to refute). It was weird chain of events that ended with Aoyama and Izuku with wine and her with sake, Ochako never even thought she was going to drink it, but Shanks was very persuasive. Justifieing it as saying she could taste only a bit wouldnt hurt. The look of betrayal on her Green haired friend in that scene might explain why this scene was even happening now in the first place.

At least, she wasn t the only one suffering now.

-Mon ami, please be more considered with your elegant friends.- Aoyama was breathing quite hard, just like her. -While i know i am such a perfect being, I dont believe i can stand up any longer.-

-That is too bad, because i believe you can. Now, attack.- Izuku said with a bamboo in his hand. THAT DAMNED BAMBOO. While she was grateful that she could make friends, Uraraka never thought it would be this way. She didnt even get her UA s letter yet and now she has a teacher. Damn UA, she expected the week to be long, but to be this long and frustating was ridiculous. And her parents were thinking she was having fun and destressing herself with her new friends. She mentally laughed sarcastly at that thought. So when she could finally managed a punch that finally could touch Izuku (the tip of his ear), Uraraka felt so proud that she fell on the ground grinning.

-Good. Take five.-

Shanks groaned. Mihawk, buddy, they are already done.-

-Hmm, very well, i shall go inside and bring you guys cheese and mochi. A well received reward for this session.- Then he entered his house. Leaving her alone with the others in the garden.

Aoyama sighed as he fell in the ground too. Woah, that is one intense friend we have there, mein friends. I am scared to ask, how did you managed my daring Shanks?-

Uraraka felt as curious as well. How did they even manage this everyday?

-Dahahaha, dont worry. With time this would be a walk in the park. About how i managed? Well, he loves to duel me, so we ended up growing stronger together.-
And by duel, he really meant that. She saw them fight with real swords the other day. She couldnt breath by how intoxicant was that. It was insane, and made her realize that the world was a lot bigger than she expected. They told her this hero path was that dangerous, so that she needed to keep her resolve strong. And when she told them her reason to be a hero and that she couldnt back down now, even if UA rejected her, Uraraka will stay firm no matter. She needed to do this, for her parents.

That was enough to earn Mihawk s respect. And that respect was a hell in earth. Wich begged her question.

-Hey shanks, why does he want to teach us so much?-

-Hmm, i question myself too my dear friend. Please enlight us.-

-Hmmmm.- Shanks leaned her head to the tree with a thoughtful face looking up at the sky.

-The reason why i think it s kinda personal to him. Just so you know, we saw a lot of untapped potential for you guys. Heck, even if you guys dont made it to UA right now, you would be more than prepared for another try.-

Yes, untapped potential indeed. Aparently, these two saw something in her and her new french friend that was worthy of teaching. Although they didnt tell them much of their secrets yet, since they are at the begining stage. They only told her about her will and how it would be necessary to make her stronger than most.

-By the way, Shanks-kun, why do you two have similar quirks? You guys said you werent related-

-Uhm, what you talking about?-

-I mean about your duels. It seems you guys are so much faster, and the winds of blades you create so you can cut trees and - Uraraka was interrupted by a loud laugh, coming from the weird sake-lover boy.

-Dahahahaha, that werent quirks Little Ochako!-

-Eh?-

-What do you mean mon ami?-

-I thought you guys were smarter than that. But i cant blame you, we only told you about the use of will itself.-

-Wait do you mean-?-

-Those arent quirks, that was pure skill.- Shanks said with a chuckle and added mentally haki. It was something everyone is supposed to have and only a few could unlock it. So technically he wouldnt count it as a quirk itself.

-Then what is your quirk?-

-Explotion.- said while showing them his palm crating fireworks.

-And Mihawk-kun's?-

-He doesnt have one.-

Silence

-WHAT!?-

-Yeah, the bastard got lucky. Although my explotion is still pretty cool.- while Katsuki really apreciated his quirk, it came with a lot of headaches in this world. He really envied Izuku who could get away around the law. Somehow in some messed up of dejavu, his friend was a shishibukai all over again, even if it was stretching it a bit.

-Wait mon ami! Our shining friend is really quirkless?- Aoyama said the last part on a whisper. Almost like he was thinking about something related.

-Of course. It was kinda sad and funny growing up and watching everyone trying to bully him. You really wont believe the amount of loopholes good old mihawk used to get away. Oh man, those poor bastards. I think one kid tried to kill him but ended up in the hospital when he was five.-

-MIHAWK-KUN PUT A FIVE YEAR OLD IN THE HOSPITAL!?-

-Nah, Mihawk put a 14 year old in the hospital when HE was 5 years.-

Yeah, that last one bit of information might have been too much. That dude still had nightmares till this day. Speaking of the devil...

-Here are your recompenses. Sorry for the delay, my mother was actually suggesting me to invite you guys for dinner. It would be a good idea to call your parents if you desire to stay as well.-

Uraraka Ochako was really having trouble to believe that the same kid of the anecdote was giving her mochi with such good manners. The disbelief must had been writing all over her face when Shanks gave her a teasing smirk.

-Hey eyed bastard, wanna spar before dinner?-

Uraraka spotted around the corner of her eye, Aoyama leaving her while saying something about having an illness that would kill him if he stayed to watch them fight. She could only smile nerviously while watching her other two friends battling in the ground.

-BOYS! WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT FIGHTING IN THE GARDEN!? NO REAL SWORDS IN THIS HOUSE!- Midoriya Inko s voice resonated in all the neighbourhood. Traumatizated flashbacks were being remembered by the ones who listened. Nobody wanted to witness this.

Mihawk only pouted like scolded child and said: -But motheeeeer-

Shanks only kept laughing. And Uraraka could had swore that he did this just to mess with the sharped eye boy.

After the mother of the Midoriya's house ended up scolding the boys, a letter came from the door. It was an UA letter. Explaining that Midoriya Izuku passed with 2° place by a lot of villain points. While that was happening, the parents of the rest of the gang received the letters as well. It all ended up in the Bakugou's house, with Katsuki having to deal with his mother's yelling because he ended up in 1° place by a lot of rescue points. Uraraka and Aoyama were crying emotionally because of their acceptance at the famous school. Izuku just smirked because enjoying his friend's misery was more entertaining. That night, his disciples finally slept without worry about their tortur-training.

Author's note

There we have it, Uraraka and Aoyama joined the crew. But they are more of Mihawk's discipules. This Uraraka may or may not end very diferently too. After all, now the relationship is teacher-student. Although she wont use a sword, Aoyama will use one instaed.
