Chapter 53
Title: The 3rd Wheel...
…
After the day's lessons, Kaminari goes back to the dorm, he just sits in the common room. He has been training for so long that he doesn't know what to do in his free time. That is when Momo comes out in casual clothes.
She looks at Kaminari calmly, not saying anything since there are people around them, both Ochako and Asui are talking about something to the side. While Eijiro and Bakugo are planning to go sparring against each other, their Quirks become perfect counters against the other but also allows them to train against themselves.
Izuku is using a dumbbell to strengthen his arms, and thinking about the new <Shoot Style> that he has come up with recently.
Momo and Kaminari have a silent conversation just by looking at each other's eyes. It only lasts only a split second as she looks at the entrance of the dorm building while she walks up towards her dorm room.
Kaminari gets up and does some stretches, getting ready for exercises, and since he is already wearing sports pants and a short-sleeve white shirt, he is already ready for it.
"Are you going for a run?" asks Izuku. "Can I come along?"
'You fu*king Deku!! You are running my day you fu*k!!' Kaminari swears on the inside. But outwardly he smiles. "Sure."
….
As they walk outside, they both start some simple jogging around the dorm track field. "Izuku, I heard that you have now started using your feet to fight. That is good, your hands must have taken quite a beating."
"Yeah, Recovery Lady warned me about that," sighs Izuku, it will be hard to learn a whole new kicking style. He then looks at Kaminari and a little embarrassed. "Uhhh… Kaminari, you know a lot of fighting styles right?"
"Hm?" Kaminari is confused by this at first but then understands where Izuku is getting at. "Oh, yeah, I know a bit about it. I mostly learned it because of my fighting style."
"Can you teach me how to use kicks in my fighting style?" Asks Izuku, hopeful at this, since Kaminari is the best hand-to-hand combatant in the class.
"Hmmmm," Kaminari seems to contemplate the answer, but in the end, he nods. "Sure, I don't see why not."
"Thank you, I appreciate that," he is thankful about this.
"Nah, no problem," shrugs Kaminari. "Anyway, let's start right now."
"Now?!" Izuku is surprised at that.
"What? You have anything going on?" Asks Kaminari. 'I will show you the difference between us. I also wanna see the difference between us and see if you are getting closer to me.'
"Uh, aren't you still injured?" Izuku is worried about this, he too saw the large cut that Kaminari got during the Provincial exam.
"Don't worry about it now. It is only a little numb," he explained casually. But in the end, he got into a fighting stance. "Let's start now, I will teach you while we fight. Start going all out from the beginning or you won't notice how you even got plummeted to the ground."
Izuku nods and takes this seriously, everyone says that Kaminari is the closest to becoming the number one hero. He is ahead even of the top heroes.
<One For All 9%>
Izuku can feel his bones slightly creak because of the slight overcharge in power. It is only a couple percent more than he can naturally handle. But this is Kaminari that he is facing and honestly, he just wants to prove to himself that he has what it takes.
Fwosh!
He is the first to charge at his top speed. Kaminari only looks at him with a smirk on his face and as he gets close to kicking him in the face. Kaminari drops down, dodging it easily without even using his Quirk. He swipes Izuku's leg from under him since he was kicking with one leg. Izuku only had one foot on the ground and he was easily wiped off his feet by Kaminari.
Once he is midair, Kaminari grabs him by his face and drops him on the ground.
Bam!
Izuku tries to break off from the lock, but it is useless as Kaminari locks his arm that if he moves he will break it.
"Welp, as expected, you saw some martial arts videos and thoughts that this was it," says Kaminari. 'This was easier than I thought, I didn't have to use my Quirk at all. Kinda disappointing.'
"Forget martial arts and don't learn any of them," Kaminari shakes his head after letting go of the arm-lock. "Martial Arts are made to fight human against human, at normal size, they are just an outdated practice. Nowadays we fight against giant people, with grass hair, those that can shoot fire. Martial Arts just create useless habits if you start learning them. It would be better for you to develop something suitable for your Quirk."
Izuku realizes that Kaminari is right, martial arts aren't really useful nowadays. It would be better to create a fighting style that amplifies one's Quirk than learn martial arts.
"I… I see…" says izuku, as he had expected. Learning from Kaminari was a good decision after all.
"Anyway, that doesn't matter. I can only guide you," explains Kaminari. "Though both can be used for body strengthening. My Quirk is different from yours. While you have done well to copy All Might and his fighting style. Your Quirks are similar after all, but… you are unsuitable for that too since you don't have his build. Maybe in the future, but not at this time. You are more built for speed, while All Might is overwhelming power."
Izuku's body goes rigid at that, he knows that Kaminari is someone scaringly smart and sometimes seems as if he knows everything. So giving any indication that he and All Might be connected.
"Also no need to worry, I already know that you and All Might have the same Quirk," Says Kaminari with a knowing smile on his face.
"Wha?!!-" Izuku is shocked at this. He is about to ask Kaminari how he figured it out. But he is interrupted as Momo comes in her U.A gym uniform and waves at them.
…
"Hey Kaminari, are you out for a light jog too?" she asks but her words get stuck on her throat once she sees izuku was there too. She and Kaminari had plans to "coincidentally" meet each other out while they were out for a sprint. While they were in the dorms, Kaminari's room was on the 3rd floor just above Izuku and next to Koda who is usually quiet and keeps to his animals so any noise that they made in his room would be heard. Momo's room is not any different as she had Ochako living below her room and she is a quiet girl too and one night as she might be floating up she could hear strange noises coming from Momo's room.
Also, relationships like that are forbidden in dorms. So they planned for some outdoor fun but once Momo saw the 3rd wheel (Izuku) her hopes were crushed. She isn't as good as Kaminari at hiding her disappointment. So her face is full of doom and gloom.
Kaminari sees this and decides to change the conversation by saying. "Oh right, Momo, you said that you have something to show me right? About your Quirk?"
"Oh yeah," Momo's eyes shine in excitement as she takes out a small object from her pocket.
'A scouter?' Wonders Kaminari, as the object looks like a scouter from Dragon Ball to him.
Momo puts it on and uses a button to the side to turn it on. "Gun."
Immediately the scouter flickers and Momo perfectly creates something as complicated as a gun in an instant. "I remember when we visited your room Kaminari and you said that you have all of your books stored online, this is how I got that idea. This small thing is a mini-computer with hundreds of thousands of weapons, items, medicines, and many more things registered in it. Now I just call out and can make even the most complicated things."
Kaminari is amazed by this, he never expected her to pick up on something like this. "Amazing! This will make you way stronger now."
"Hehehe~" Momo mischievously smiles and calls out. "Jetpack."
Immediately, a jetpack is made out of her back, which rips the clothes on her back=, but she fixes them immediately.
Fwosh!
She then flies around using the jetpack. "I am going to ask my parents for some power armor blueprints."
Kaminari smiles at that. 'Ah, the power of money.'
As Momo and Kaminari were having fun and teasing each other, Izuku was just to the side, feeling weird, like he was interfering on something… not understanding that was what it felt like to be the 3rd wheel.
....
A/N: Relationships when trying to keep them secret are hard. Also the MC is willing to help Izuku as long as it doesn't bother his own training or... you know... doing things with Momo.
