Ant King In MHA

__________ POV Beru__________

Truth be told, this isn't a spar. This is more of me helping Toga take a load off and get rid of some of her stress.

That knife I gave her is basically a part of me. I asked the support department of this school if they could make a weapon good enough to cut into my exoskeleton.

But Power Loader said that it would be quite bad for him to supply weapons to teenagers. Especially to those that aren't even part of the student body.

He said that he only does so for the hero departments and only if they are meant to improve the use of their quirks. (Gadgets and other shit)

I being an understanding and calm individual didn't cuss him out and only left. Keeping my dignity untarnished.

Ok, that last sentence was bullshit.

We argued for few hours and I used my extensive vocabulary to tell him to go fuck himself in different ways and three languages(Japanese, English and French). (I only know enough french to swear btw)

I took a few steps back from Toga. This will more be a battle of skill since I'm restricting my strength to her level. It should at least get us on an 'even playing field'.

Well, technically, I am still a lot more skilled than her. I have quite a few years of experience. And she's basically a green-horn in comparison. Although she does seem to have tenacity and reflexes.

She is physically almost as strong as I was in my past life(as I've said before), so she's not weak. Well, she's just as fast, just a bit weaker in arm strength.

I've seen many people much weaker than me. I've concluded that that level of strength is basically near the maximum one can achieve without any quirk relating to strength.

The fight started on her go, which was pretty silent as she just rushed me. I was obviously prepared though, it's kinda hard to take someone by surprise in a spar(at least in this manner).

Her first move was to use the knife to swipe at me. I took a step backwards and prepared to kick her away(gender equality).

But she was expecting that it seems, she reacted quickly and dodged underneath my leg, preparing to stab me on the side.

She's quite a bit shorter than me, but I did aim for her head with that kick, so it isn't that surprising. I caught her hand, stopping her momentarily, then I kicked her away.

This time, going for her torso, making the move impossible to dodge, as I also pulled her knife hand down, only letting go of it when my kick sent her flying a few meters to the side.

She took out a few more knives(where does she hold them?) and threw them at me, I caught two of them and tilted my head to avoid one. If this is to be a fair fight, I can't just ignore her attacks completely.

She used those knives as a distraction and rushed me once again, with a spring in her step as she jumped and basically prepared to take me down.

Being in the air didn't give her much room for manoeuvring though. Which made me just grab her by the leg and throw her to the side.

However, in that short exchange, she also managed to put a small cut on my arm. It barely reached my muscles, but it still left some blood on her blade.

She managed to use the momentum of my throw to turn around in the air and land properly. Not taking much damage at all.

"Impressive~!" I've no reason to lie, maybe I underestimated her a bit more than I should've. But, it's hard not to, she's a 16-year-old girl for fuck sake.

My wound still healed instantly, but her smile got large again as she licked off the blood from the blade.

"Careful not to cut yourself~," I said as I threw one of the knives I had previously cut back towards her, I aimed it at her arm, but she managed to take a step to the side, barely avoiding it as it only cut a bit of her uniform.

I threw the other knife in the air and rushed her, I am usually an offensive fighter after all. I took a boxing stance. Sending a few quick jabs towards her as I was rushing in.

She raised her arms to in a guard, but it was obviously sloppy. I could easily punch through it with a straight. These were just a few quick jabs though. She did manage to avoid some of them.

Only two of them hit one on her guard, and one on her stomach. It made her gasp for air for a second. I used that opening to send a right hook behind her guard.

It hit her on the side of the head as she was sent tumbling towards the ground again. She also raised her knife as she was falling, managing to get a small cut on my shoulder.

Overall, we are mostly trading wounds, although she'd have a lot fewer chances if I fought more aggressively.

She rolled on her back and looked at me with excitement. Did she think I wasn't going to injure her or something? She does look surprised, not in a bad way though.

I won't give her any lasting injury(obviously) but taking it too easy on her would be a bit disrespectful to do in a spar. Especially since I am the one that proposed it in the first place.

Her smile got wider and wider throughout the fight as it continued for around 30 more minutes.

By the end of it, she managed to get quite a few cuts on me, but it was always just small opportunistic and shallow cuts.

They were also healed instantly. But I was more referring to the zones that the injuries were made in. She wouldn't have been able to make any lasting damage even if I couldn't regenerate.

While she was filled with bruises and she was resting on the ground. Her smile didn't leave her face, even as she was breathing heavily.

"You fought well~, "I said as I patted her head a bit. I also laid on the grown right beside her(out of politeness).

She wrapped me in a hug again. This is quite weird since I thought she wouldn't have much strength left, but she seems energetic enough.

She muttered a last tired "Thank you-" as she passed out. The knife I gave her still gripped into her hand. I just picked her up and started making my way towards the school's clinic.

I am quite prepared for the verbal lashing that I will receive. It's kinda worth it not gonna lie, seeing her be that happy and not bored or neutral for once.

I mean, she's been only down for the last two days, but still. Two days without any smiles is still not good.

I mean, I obviously care about her quite a bit since I'm going through all of this shit. Well, not really in any romantic way(she's still like 16 don't be weird) but she's nice.

I don't mind taking care of her for now. It's not like I have anything else to do. I am quite bored anyway.

I've also heard that Shigaraki is currently recovering mentally. Nezu said it will be a very long process.

Although the little shit was annoying, he was quite harmless. Just another pawn in All for One's game. I don't harbour any hate for him. Just like I don't hate Kurogiri(he's pretty chill).

I did hate Giganto though. He was a bit more annoying too, and I didn't spend as much time with him as I did with the other two stooges.

Kyudai is not even in question. The cunt had to die so I can relax properly. He was likely a bigger threat than All for One himself.

With those thoughts in mind, I eventually reached the clinic. Where Recovery Granny started cursing at me for being a negligent idiot.

And saying that I should be more gentle with women and other stuff(wasn't listening). I just let her ramble on, she eventually let me go.

Toga did remain there for a few hours though. Just so her condition could be monitored.

Apparently, some of the wounds I gave her were a bit much in some places(meh, she's tough, she can handle it).

Toga wasn't in any actual danger though. She just needed to regain some stamina so that Recovery Granny can use her quirk on her.

Instead of heading for my dorm, I started walking towards Nezu's office. As I believe it's time to speak about my living arrangements.

I can't really keep living here forever. The students come back tomorrow(I think) so I need to move out later today.

Well, that depends on what Nezu has in mind. (I don't care either way)
