Chapter 68 - Rhyki.

Rhyki and the group stumbled out of the cabin, rubbing their eyes free from sleep while dressed in their specialised training gear that had been a gift from Izuku of his Creator side. Meaning that they could use their quirks to the fullest and not risk damaging their clothes. Which was ideal mostly for Momo, as whatever she created, materialised through the fabric and she didn't need to show as much skin anymore, which was a relief for the blackette. Not to mention a boost in her confidence of being covered and not feeling so exposed. Their outfits were black tightish shorts to the knees, and black sleeveless t-shirts. It had the group name stitched perfectly onto the left breast side, in their favourite colour. Such as hers and Katsuki's were orange. Kami was yellow. Shinso was dark purple etc. The girls had a bit of secure padding/support around their chest area, which basically meant that their breasts didn't bounce all over the place or get in the damn way when they moved around which was a good thing.

No one needed that. Sure, they had bras on, but a bit more extra help she'd take. Simple all black converse on their feet for mostly comfort, but matching laces with the names. It was 6am, and they weren't all that pleased to wake up this damn early, but the banging on the cabin door from Aizawa meant that they had to get up, or risk having buckets of cold water lobbed on them. She knew that her grumpy old man would do that too! He'd done it before to her. Fucker. Izuku wasn't with them, and Rhyki peered around for her brother. He hadn't been there when they'd woken up or appeared while they got dressed.
"Rhy-nii, do you know where Izu-nii is?"

Kami mumbled, tugging slightly on her t-shirt while rubbing his eye. Well, that was fucking adorable. "Not entirely sure. I'm sure we'll find him soon."
"Ok." They followed her to the tables, where they were quickly joined by the Cats and Aizawa, all sitting comfortably, drinking coffee, despite the sun literally only just rising in the distance, making the sky lighten with hues of oranges, reds, and yellows, washing the blackness away.
"Sit down." Her dad said, nodding to a table. They did as told, just as Tiger appeared, bringing a large tray of refreshments for them that made her instantly perk up as the rich smell of freshly ground coffee beans erupted up her nose. Heaven. They thanked the pro hero and Rhyki took the tray, before she dished the drinks out, which was greatly appreciated. Katsuki kissed her cheek as thanks, considering she was wearing her mask.

"Izu-nii!" Mina cheered, making them turn to follow where she was looking. Sure enough, there was her brother, walking out with Tiger, bringing over bowls of steaming food, meaning it'd just been made, which explained to where he'd been. They served the various smells of deliciousness, making the Ragtags quite literally wiggle in their seats for anticipation. They even passed over bowls to the pros and Mandalay gave one to a sleepy Kota, who was nearby. The boy took it and disappeared into the forestry, ignoring everyone around as he let out a yawn. Just as Izuku settled beside Kirishima with a mug of coffee, the rest of 1A joined them. They were still half asleep, grumbling about having to wake up so early.
"What about us? Where is our food for this morning?!" Iida demanded, pointing at the food.

"First of all, do not take that tone with us boy. We're the pro heroes here and the adults, so best mind your damn tongue and remember your manners. Second, you make your own food from now on. We told you yesterday that was the last we'd do it. You need to learn basic cookery skills, and you'll get more lessons of that as you grow older. You'll soon find that not everything is handed over to you on a damn silver platter like some spoiled brat. That's exactly what this group have done considering they'd been up longer than yourselves, well Izuku has. Now the kitchen is over there, help yourselves, but do make sure that you clean up your mess as there is no reason for being slobs." Tiger growled, not taking the teens shit at all. Rhyki smirked before having a shadow appear around her lower face, and lowered the mask, then she began eating. None of them said anything as they ate, enjoying Izuku's godly cooking as usual. Even the Cats and her dad were contently eating, barely acknowledging the others as they tinkered in the kitchen.

After they'd finished, Izuku and Kirishima gathered everyone's dishes, getting ready to take them to the kitchen when she stopped her brother after tugging her mask back into place.
"Izuku, you didn't eat. Have you already eaten?"
"I ate while I was cooking, don't worry." He answered. 1A emerged, carrying simple bowls of cereal, or a plate with toast and fruit, along with cups of tea. They went to the other table, throwing sneers at them as they passed, but none answered to their looks, which clearly meant that they were trying to rile them, but it didn't work. Plates were taken to the kitchen, and put into the large dishwasher they had, which was certainly helpful. They just relaxed for a bit longer until everyone was finished, and everything cleared away. By then, food had settled in their stomachs enough that if they took a hit, they wouldn't be sick or some shit. Rhyki had experienced that once. Never again. The class all lined up and focused on her dad.

"Right, now that's over with, we'll begin your training. Due to this pathetic inner class rival/squabble thing that's going on, you'll split off. Ragtags in one group, everyone else in the other. Tiger, you go with 1A, Rags are with me. Cats, you'll can join in with whoever. During this camp, we're going to tear you down and build you back up. Before anything though, Bakugou, step forward." Her man did and was tossed a baseball.
"Let me guess, throw it like we did on our first day, using our quirks?" He raised a blonde eyebrow.
"Correct. We're going to see how far you can for now." Kat nodded and stepped away a little. He went into a pitcher throw, and launched the ball, using a powerful explosion to back it up. This time he didn't shout anything, just went back to her side after it had left his palm. Aizawa lifted a device up and showed the result, making some jaws drop at the sheer difference. Rhyki just smirked at her boyfriend, who returned the look before kissing her cheek.

"One thousand, seven hundred and six metres. That's a one thousand metres difference from your first day. Clearly all that extra training and hard work that you have been doing under the tutelage of Rhyki and Izuku has clearly helped you immensely in harnessing your quirk power more. Keep it up." Aizawa praised, quickly writing the result down on a small pad.
"Thanks sensei." He nodded slightly in respect to the pro hero. Rhyki knew that Kat didn't just respect her dad because he was, you know, her dad, but as he was one of the very few pro heroes he genuinely liked and also highly respected him.
"Well done, Bakubabe." Mina said, knocking her shoulder into his, getting a playful huff in return.
"Thanks, Mina." Over the next hour, everyone went and only their group showed any vast improvement. Clearly the rest weren't taking their training as seriously. Well, almost everyone. She did notice that Todoroki had made quite the improvement, utilising both his quirks together in a creative way to double what his original throw had been.

Rhyki watched as Kaminari stepped up, wearing his custom shoes from Izuku like usual and took a deep breath before bright yellow electricity whipped around him. It was rapidly harnessed down until it was condensed into his right palm, with what looked like a handle of it around his fingers, and he put the ball into the middle of it, almost like a lasso or slingshot. Her eyes widened a little. Was this one of those moves that he and her brother had secretly been working on these past few weeks or so?
"ELECTRIC SLINGSHOT!" Kami yelled, spun a few times, then threw the ball in a near perfect toss. It rocketed through the air, aided by the electric styled slingshot, which cracked like literal lightning. The yellow disappeared, as did the ball. Turning expectantly to the teacher, he showed the score, making them both be shocked and impressed as the tired pro congratulated the teen. Even the other pros were quite gobsmacked. Then again, it wasn't every day that you see someone who can weld electricity get a score like that!

"That was bloody impressive." Sero stated, as the others nodded in agreement.
"Izu-nii, did you see that?! Oh my, it worked!" Kami squealed before jumping on her brother with a hug. The giant of their family chuckled and hugged him back before putting him down, letting the others swamp him in their own congratulatory hug.
"Well done giggle bug. I'm super proud of you for managing it like that, more so after all the hard work and long practices we've done." Izuku commended.
"Nicely done sparky." Jiro complimented and Momo smiled at him.
"That was fucking incredible. You got literally ten metres less than Kat did. I'm fucking impressed and extremely proud of you, Kami." Rhyki praised, getting a blinding smile in return.

"Thank you!" Shinso didn't say anything, but he gave his boyfriend a quick kiss and a hug, which clearly was enough as Kami melted into the hold.
"Rhyki, your turn." Tiger called, throwing her a ball and she stepped up. She peered back and snorted. Their group had instantly latched onto Izuku, who stayed still with a neutral expression.
"Izuku, shadow lock everyone in their places." Aizawa commanded. He nodded and thick shadows seeped from his feet, rolling like fog across the ground, before twisting around legs to the knees of everyone present bar herself. Did that stop Kirishima and Kaminari from locking their arms tightly around Izuku's though? Nope, it sure didn't. She did spot that Kirishima twined their fingers together though, which was sweet. Izuku clearly thought so too as he smiled softly at his boyfriend, who was now tucked under his arm, partially buried in his ribcage in a protective hold.

"What's this for?" Mandalay questioned, bending slightly to poke at the bindings. Her finger went through, but other than that, she couldn't move from her position.
"One of Izuku's quirks allows him to use shadows to his bidding, same as Rhyki. This is one of them but his are much stronger. No one can escape or move when this is on them as we've tried. It'll be needed. It's to keep us in place for what's about to come, more so that we don't get thrown away from the wind pressure alone." Her dad answered.
"Impressive." Ragdoll mumbled, also pushing her finger into the shadow binding.
"Rhyki, go now and I want to see more effort put into this one than that half arsed one you did at the start of the year." She nodded and faced back the proper way.
Let's give it a bit of a boost. Use that lightning orb mixed with our flames my dragonling. Let's show true power! Pyro's sultry voice rumbled through her mind, as did a visual of her dangerous, yet precious baby in her mindscape. Perched on the grass hill that Rhyki had there for her, standing tall and proud. Thick legs spread perfectly in proportion of her muscular frame. Wings stretched wide in a pure power stance. A wicked gleam in her orange eyes, a dark smirk pulling her lips up and showing pristine white teeth coated in saliva.

Fuck yes baby. She sent back as she held the ball in her right hand. Reddish-yellow fire flared from her arm as shadows leaked out of her palm, lightning flickering in multi-colours within the murky dark grey colour. She twisted her hips slightly to aid her better.

"DRAGON THROW!" Rhyki roared, threw her arm back and flung the ball. It surged through the sky with the deafening scream of a sonic boom mixed with the cracks of lightning and the backdraft was immense. Wind lashed over the group and rattled the leaves and branches of the trees. Truthfully, the only thing keeping them where they were, was Izuku and his shadows. Although, they had to turn partially and shield their faces from the rush of heated air as it hit them. Rhyki smirked and walked back over, making the flames and lightning orb quirk disappear from her arm, as though they had never been. Aizawa's phone beeped, again he jotted something down, then showed them once they'd turned back.

"Seriously babes? You're so damn overpowered. But I'm all for the badass girl power." Mina shook her head in amusement before they knocked knuckles.
"That's amazing! Rhy-nii, you got the second highest score of sixty thousand metres!" Kami cheered, now waving his arms around in clear excitement.
"Second highest? Why do you say that?" Pixie-bob turned to the teen, who just patted Izuku's chest while giggling to the hero.
"Yep. Izu-nii will get the top score. He's like, way more powerful than Rhy-nii, although she's our second strongest of us all and definitely no slouch."
"Love you bubba." She gave him a hug and kiss through her mask to his forehead, making him blush and hide his face in her shoulder.

"Love you too." He mumbled loud enough for her to hear. Adorable. Izuku stepped up, catching the ball thrown from Tiger, and shadows shifted to lock around her own legs. Their group watched in anticipation of what he'd do. They knew he was hell of a lot more powerful and way stronger than he'd previously been since the 'accident', which he'd certainly been no pushover even then, so what could his score be this time? Even she didn't have a clue as to what it could be. Something ridiculous no doubt and would make a mockery of everyone's. She was right, as their eyes pretty much blew wide at what they saw. The back of his top lifted, as two jet reddish-black tails emerged, making many gasp. More so her group, who'd never seen that before. One was tipped in black swirling fire and the other with dusky grey and moving like a slow wind. His nails elongated to show black claws that stood out firmly against the whiteness of the ball.

His hips twisted, and thighs bulged to show the tenseness of his muscles under his shorts. Corded arm tensed, showing thick veins, now cocked back as lightning and black shadows rolled around his hand, yet pretty blue-black flames flared from his arm. Hot enough that they could feel the heat where they stood some twenty feet or so away from him. His eyes flickered to them quickly, showing his pupils were now split but that beautiful emerald colour was near glowing neon now with an outer ring of fire red. Ah, Syrinx was partially in control then.
"Beautiful." She heard Kirishima utter while he stared, entirely captivated with Izuku.
"FOX THROW!" He bellowed and launched the ball. A crater emerged where he was, which had to be a good foot or so deep and easily ten feet in diameter.

The baseball rapidly vanished from their line of vision, leaving behind a stream of black fire mixed with coloured lightning in a pretty display as wind howled around them. It broke the sound barrier twice and they quickly saw it shoot through the centre of a cloud, leaving a perfect hole. His hand was steaming, and then they slapped hands over their ears and cried out as the backlash of the intense double sonic boom hit them. Motherfucker, that hurt! It was worse than what hers had been. Once it was clear, they carefully removed hands as Izuku appeared in front of them, back to normal again. Blue healing flames erupted from his palms and put one to her head, and the other to Jiro's as they were the ones with the most sensitive hearing and healed them. That was when she noticed the slight trickle of blood leaking from their little purplette's ears. Ah, that's why he did it. They shifted their attention to Aizawa, who turned the device in his palm. Jaws instantly dropped.
"Holy shit bro!" Rhyki chuckled. She shouldn't have been surprised, but she was.

"Infinity?! I know you've gotten so much stronger Izuku, but I didn't think that was that much. I don't even know why I am this shocked truthfully, considering that's our beloved leader about whom we are talking about here. The same man who can shift a ton of weight in one palm." Momo chuckled, as did the rest of them. What did Izuku do? He shrugged. Simply fucking shrugged while undoing the shadow bindings. The rest of the class didn't utter a single word, but the harsh glares from some – which she knew would happen – were uncalled for and entirely unnecessary. Seriously, did they expect that they'd be more powerful or some shit than her brother? What a load of shit. Let them be pathetic delusional fucks.
"How much power did you put into that throw?" Shinso questioned.
"About fifty percent."

"Fucking hell man. I dread to think what one hundred would be like." The group chuckled as Shinso scrunched his face up.
"Now that's done, get into your groups and start training. Ragtags, let's go." Aizawa called out and they did. The man now had a large duffle slung over a shoulder as they followed him. They arrived at a large area that was clear of everything, so like an open training ground. The bag was dropped to the floor, landing with a thud. They were on one side, while the other students were the other. Her dad pulled out some wooden training swords, passing them over to the group. Everyone except herself and Izuku had one.
"I want you to show me what you've learned so far in weaponry combat. I know you've been learning it from these two." Aizawa stated, making the eight nod.
"What about Rhy-nii and Izu-nii?" Kami asked.

"Izuku will be training yourselves. Rhyki, you're fighting with me."
"Ah shit." She grumbled, going to her dad.
"Start!" Izuku shouted, instantly making the eight launch into a fight with an opponent. She stayed at her dad's side, just watching as her brother instructed them with ease. He showed Kat the best way to hold it and strike stronger, which helped as he asked Momo to construct a shield. Her gaze flickered over to the other side and saw that everyone was trying to attack Tiger, not that it worked. He dodged them easily, and to make it funnier, the man had his hands folded behind his back, and was taunting them. It made her snort in amusement. The only one not going against him, was Todoroki, who was listening to something that Pixie-bob was telling him, with an occasional nod.
"What's so funny?" Her dad asked.
"Look at the others." He did and snorted too. She saw that Iida was getting frustrated, engines flaring. He shot across the floor, but as he had extraordinarily little control over stopping quick, or making sharp turns, he zoomed past the pro hero and into the woods.

"We're definitely going to have to work on his control for quick turns."
"Along with rapid turns and all that shit. They all need serious help on their hand to hand combat as well." She remarked.
"Definitely. I'll sort it out with the Cats and start tomorrow."
"Ok. So what are we doing then?"
"We'll fight a bit." She smirked under her mask, as he gave his infamous smirk.
"Fuck yeah. Let's go." They moved a little from the group who were diligently following Izuku's instructions as he demonstrated different ways to attack, using a wooden sword to help, and Kirishima as the test dummy. Well not really, but Izuku was using him to show the best parts to hit someone, then the others followed through with the action. Rhyki turned her attention to her dad, who instantly launched into action. She met him halfway, blocking a fist but not catching his foot against her stomach. They threw punches and kicks at one another, and not once did she take her focus off him. That would be the last thing she should do.

Rhyki launched a kick to his right thigh that was unguarded, but he caught her, spun, and slammed her into the ground. She crashed, stomach first. The wind was knocked right out of her as he landed on her back, one hand pressing the back of her neck down, the other on her right elbow, while his foot was on her left arm.
"Yield?"
"I yield." He instantly let her go, and they got up.
"Sensei, that's an amazing takedown! How dd you manage that?" She heard Kaminari ask and they turned to the group, who were now watching them as Izuku ransacked the duffle bag. They shuffled closer to hear his explanation while she went to Izuku.
"What you searching for?" She asked.
"Seeing what we've got really. But I'm thinking of having them learn more with the swords, hitting me while I hold the shield that Momo made."
"So learn how to strike the usual spots that are left open. As we all know that sometimes you've got to fight dirty when against villains."

"Exactly. It's not like they fight easy, so why should we? I'll see what we can do." He admitted, standing up properly.
"True. Want dad and I to join in?"
"It wouldn't hurt. It'll also help with having a pro hero who specializes in sneaky moves help. More so with Shinso and Kami who want to become underground heroes."
"I forgot Kami wants to do that now. But I agree."
"Yeah. Let's go." She nodded and they rejoined the group.
"What's the plan now?" Momo asked.
"I've got a few ideas, but uncle, we'll need your help." Izuku faced her dad, who raised an eyebrow.
"What do you need?"

"Dirty tactics. Villains don't fight fair, so we shouldn't either. We'll work on doing some of those, along with precision hits on weak spots to give an advantage of a quicker takedown."
"Good idea. Let's do that."
"Good. Ok, line up and we'll get started." Izuku directed and everyone did rapidly. Rhyki also joined them, waiting beside Katsuki for them to get started. Her brother picked up a wooden sword, handing it to her dad, before getting one for himself, along with the shield, swinging it lazily, loosening up his wrist a little. Oh, she knew that was going to be good.


x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x


It was now just after lunch, rested enough to let food settle in stomachs and 1B had finally joined them. Her group were sweaty and bruised, yet full of determination as they worked hard. She was next to her dad, taking a breather after being forcefully kicked in the ribs by Izuku, which mind you, hurt like an absolute motherfucker. As 1B arrived, they gulped at what they saw. Her group was currently fighting quirkless against Izuku, who was skilfully blocking the attacks with his bare hands while also directing them on their moves. The rest of the class was on the floor, exhausted after being taken out by Tiger, who now had his arms crossed and shaking his head. The other Cats were chuckling but wrote some notes down. As they approached, Vlad King stepped beside her dad.
"What's going on?" He queried.
"Fighting tactics. Quirkless combat."
"Why quirkless?"

"Because one day they could come across someone who could temporarily erase their quirks, disable it, or counter it easily. Therefore they need to know how to fight properly in order to not be taken out, or you know, fight back without being reliant on their quirk entirely." Aizawa remarked.
"Oh." That's all the blood hero said before Rhyki was tackled in a side hug by Tetsutetsu.
"Hey Rhyki." He smiled happily.
"Hey Tetsu. How you doing?" She asked, wrapping her arm around him to return the embrace quick before they let each other go.
"I'm great. Ready to learn more on how to use my quirk better, as well as quirkless combat. What we did when training with yourself and Izuku really helped." He beamed. Kendo joined them, giving her a quick hug too, along with a smile.

"Hey Rhyki. Do you mind if we join your group too if we're allowed?"
"I have no problem with it." She shrugged.
"Ok stop and take a breather." Izuku called and the Ragtags dropped to the ground, panting furiously, and groaning as they laid out flat.
"I love you, I truly do, but damn you sure know how to train us hard, Izu-nii." Mina grumbled, massaging her wrist.
"Thanks Mina, and you asked for it. Also, love you too." Izuku said, before spotting them.
"Hey Izuku!" Tetsu waved.
"Afternoon. You joining us too?"
"Why would we join 1A scum? We're better." Monoma sneered.

"Dude, shut the fuck up about that. We're all training to be fucking heroes. Just because you're in 1B, means shit. We're all taught the same fucking curriculum etc, so what is your fucking problem? Seriously, grow the fuck up and stop sprouting more shit than a toilet bowl, when you can't even fucking back that up." Katsuki growled, getting to his feet. All of them did in fact.
"What?"
"We're all being taught the exact same at U.A for the hero course, regardless of the fucking class number. There's no need for you to fucking say that you're supposedly better or some shit. It's ridiculous. Having that sort of 'I'm better than you' type of fucking attitude will kill you instantly in the field because no one will want to fucking work with you. I learned that the hard way, with Izuku and Rhyki drilling it into me and proving that I'm not the strongest here when they beat my arse during training with barely even fucking trying, but I'm strong in my own way and will continue to grow while being here. It isn't a fucking contest of who is better or what fucking ever. If you can't say anything fucking nice to your fellow hero trainees, then don't say shit." Katsuki remarked. The rest nodded in agreement, even some of 1B.

"He's right. Bakugou has certainly learned that, as have the rest, well almost all of them. You will indeed be killed near enough instantly because no one will want to work with you, due to your attitude, so would quite literally walk away when you're fighting against a powerful villain and leave you to your demise. Do not even say that it wouldn't happen, because welcome to reality brat, it does happen, as life isn't damn fair. Don't forget, you are reliant on others for their quirks in order for yours to even work properly, so keep that up and you'll be useless as you'll be on your own and just seen as collateral damage. I have noticed that you lack even basic fighting skills too, so just stop with that pathetic attitude." Aizawa stated, clearly done with the blonde.
"Anyway, before we have to hear him scream or moan about it not being fair and that we're picking on him, can some of us join in your training Rhyki, Izuku? It looks like a good workout too." Tetsu pretty much bounced on his feet in excitement.

"I have no objections with it. Who else want to join in today?" Izuku scanned the crowd. A few hands raised instantly, and he motioned them over. Rhyki skimmed over those who stepped forward, recognising them from when they'd joined in a training segment not long ago. It was Kendo, Awase, Sen, Yui, Pony and of course, Tetsu.
"Anyone else?" Aizawa turned to the class, who shook their heads no.
"Fucking typical." She muttered.
"Fine, you lot can join the rest of 1A in their training. We'll be swapping over now anyway, so you'll be with me. Let's go and no dawdling." Aizawa motioned them to move, and the class did, not wanting to anger the teacher. Vlad also went along, whereas Tiger joined them. The man had a broad grin on his face. He was clearly much happier in joining them than working with the others.
"Hello everyone. I'll be with yourselves now in teaching you how to fight in different styles or whatever else we can think of."

"Hello kittens. We'll be helping too." Pixie-bob and Mandalay announced. Ragdoll had stayed down the other end, nodding to something that Vlad King was saying to her. She saw Izuku turn his head, so followed his line of sight. The kid from before was at the edge of the forest, watching them with disgust on his face. When he realised that they'd spotted him, he rapidly disappeared.
"Ok, what sort of thing have you done already?" Mandalay queried.
"Some quirkless combat. Some weaponry too with using wooden practice swords. Izuku has also taught us how to strike properly in a fight." Sero answered her.
"Good to hear. How about we see how far you are at this moment in time? Except for Rhyki and Izuku, they'll go last." Tiger said and the group nodded.
"Quirkless or using our quirks?" Mina questioned.

"Let's start with quirkless. I'll like to see what you can do right now. I already know you'll be better than the other members of your class. Those who've just joined, if you wish to join in, please do. We'll do this for ten minutes." Tiger announced.
"Go." Kat screamed and they attacked. Good. Never wait for a countdown and just go for it. Don't let your opponent have the upper hand. Rhyki was pleased they remembered that rule. The fight dwindled down to just herself and Izuku lasting against the hero, but then again, they weren't truly trying, but he was certainly good.
"Kick his arse babe! Stop holding back so much." Kirishima shouted, where he was on the edge of the clearing, along with the others.
"Sure love." Izuku answered, and she stepped back, letting her brother take over. He dominated the field, taking Tiger by surprise, who instantly went on the defensive.

The blows they traded were nothing short of scary, echoing in the vast space. It was like a dance, dangerous, yet graceful. It quickly turned into Izuku's favour though as he floored the male in an impressive yet solid armbar hold, making him yield almost instantly. She wasn't surprised, that hold fucking hurt! She knew because she'd been taught it from Izuku over the years. The number of times he'd had to heal her from a dislocated elbow was ridiculous, but at least she knew how to execute it properly now.
"What the hell was that?" Pony gawked.
"An armbar?" Tiger raised an eyebrow at her, rubbing his arm.
"Armbars are that brutal?" Awase queried.
"They can be. It all depends on who is doing the move, or on the receiving end. You can immobilise a villain ridiculously quick if you hit it perfectly but only if you're confident and being quick-witted in doing so. You don't want to be overconfident as that can get to your head and think you're some invincible person when that will be your downfall. As demonstrated with Tiger just now, your opponent can yield quick, giving you time to counter and slap cuffs on them." Izuku explained.

"How do you do it properly?" Sen questioned. Izuku called him over and he did, along with Kaminari, who also wanted to learn it.
"Ok, who will be the one to be held and the one to do the move? Don't worry, you won't exert any pressure, it's just to show how to hold it." Izuku reassured as both went a little pale.
"How about take it in turns? Then the rest can join in a move and do it themselves?" Rhyki piped up.
"That's a good idea." Pixie-bob stated.
"Ok. Everyone gather round and I'll explain how it's done. Then you'll practice on your own for a bit. Then we'll work on other moves you can learn." Izuku got them gathered, with Awase and Kaminari getting into their positions, letting her brother guide them.
"Ready boys?" She asked, chuckling lightly. They nodded.

The rest paid close attention, not wanting to miss something, and then someone gets injured. Or even worse, face Izuku's wrath as that was some major scary shit. Even she didn't want to ever be on the receiving end of her brothers anger.
"Ok. First: grab your opponent's triceps and pull their shoulder off the ground. Second: Slide your hips to under the person's arm and place the leg closest to the arm you've grabbed over their head. Your other leg goes over your opponent's chest. Third: To finish, keep their thumb pointing upwards and pull their arm towards you, while also simultaneously bridging your hips by moving it upwards." Izuku ordered, moving Kaminari as he did so, until he was in the right position.
"It's really only three things to remember?" Jiro tilted her head to the side slightly, peering down at their holds.

"Yeah. But say you want it to really hurt, grab their thumb, and press here." He did so on Awase's, making the male instantly yelp as pain radiated through his hand, but was swiftly let go.
"What did you do?" Kami questioned, letting him go.
"The way you hold the thumb upright, means there is little give. Basically, you're pushing the digit back into the joint, trapping any nerves or whatnot in that, which makes it painful. It's another good little snippet to remember when using this sort of submissive hold." He answered. Rhyki had stepped away, not needing to know this bit, and Mandalay joined her side.
"It's remarkable in seeing how Izuku has their full attention during training." The pro remarked.
"Yeah, because they all know that he takes training seriously, but is also fair too. Us Ragtags always train together, whereas the others joined in on a previous one just before the sports festival at one of the school gyms. They know we won't make them do anything new without us first knowing how to do it perfectly, so we can show them how to do it safely, and correctly."

"There is nothing wrong with that."
"No, there isn't."
"I must admit, I'm truly glad that you lot know how to train in various ways. Sadly, the rest of your class don't and clearly rely on their quirks more than anything else, which is quite disappointing considering they were all bragging they'd be able to take Tiger down with ease as they were 'skilled fighters', mostly that Iida guy. Well, except for that Todoroki guy, he has a somewhat basic idea on how to fight quirkless." Mandalay remarked, scribbling something down as Izuku demonstrated another move, but had Katsuki has the recipient this time.
"Yeah, we could have told you that shit. Iida is a stickler for rules yet fucking defies them himself as he thinks he's above everyone else as his brother was Ingenium and even went vigilante to take out stain by himself, which was fucking pathetic. But again, we don't exactly talk to those morons, as you no doubt noticed. Although, I think Izuku talks to Todoroki now and again, as he's a neutral in the class." Rhyki shrugged, before catching Mina who dived on her.

"How do you manage to do that every single time?" Mina whined, playfully pouting.
"Mina, you're bright pink. It's not that hard to spot you, more so when you come flying towards me like you do babes." Rhyki shook her head with a sly grin at her best friend.
"Oh yeah. My bad." Mina chuckled in slight embarrassment.
"Go on and help train. I'm just going to observe for a bit. Talk later?" Mandalay requested.
"Sure thing. Come on, Pinkie." She pulled the smaller with her, and had the group split up. She took the girls, Izuku with the boys. They'd swap training places in a little while, like they usually did.
"What are we going to learn now?" Momo asked, stretching her arms a little.

"Various takedowns. I want you girls to learn some dirty moves like that. More so in what can help you get your opponent's off their feet quicker and faster. Make them pay for underestimating you for being a woman."
"Oh, I like that idea." Kendo smirked, while the others nodded.
"Let's do this shit!" She held her fist out, making the girls all knock theirs with hers in a circle. Smirks now plastered on their faces, knowing full well they'd learn some brilliant things to help in their future hero careers. Any bit of help they could get, they'd take, more so when against males.
