Tutorial Time! (2/2)
Once Izuku clicked accept the world shimmered around him before shattering to reveal what looked like a traditional dojo. Looking around Izuku saw several doors labeled with different things like "Skill training", "Sparring", and "challenges".
*DING*
[Welcome to the training dojo, You'll find that you'll be doing most of your practicing here, so pay attention so you don't mess up my nicely maintained dojo!]
[To your left you'll see several doors leading to different rooms, the sign above them makes them pretty self explanatory the Skill training room has all the equipment you'll need to practice using your skills, as you get more the room will change. The Sparring room is where you can practice fighting against a number of different opponents as well as anyone you've fought before. The Challenges room is more special than the last two as you can gain rewards for completing them, the harder the challenge the more the reward. Proceed to the Skill training room to continue]
Izuku nodded to the system's words and opened the door to the Skill training room and walked in and the door closed behind him. The room looked like a standard training room in a dojo with mats on the floor, except it had a pedestal on the far side of the room.
[Using the Skill training room is fairly straightforward, walk up to the pedestal and choose a skill to practice with and the room will change to help you practice, not that not all skills can be trained this way for example social skills that you sorely lack cannot be improved by talking to a training dummy. Go to the pedestal and choose Rising of the Phoenix to continue]
Now Izuku knew the system was making fun of him, It wasn't his fault he had bad social skills! Okay maybe it was but still!
Izuku: 'this system and its cocky attitude are going to be the death of me'
Izuku begrudgingly walked up to the pedestal and a list of his skills popped up the only one of which wasn't greyed out was Rising of the Phoenix so he clicked it.
He heard a mechanical hum before some target dummies seemingly made of straw appeared to his left and a few archery targets appeared on the other wall.
[Since each ability is different each one will need different things to aid you in your practice, for your first Quirk this means some target dummies try it out now and click ok on the pedestal to continue]
Now Izuku was excited! He finally got to try out his Quirk! But there was one issue
Izuku: 'How do I actually use my Quirk? I just got it but I don't particularly feel any different other than the pain when I woke up. Do I just will my quirk to work?'
So Izuku tried thinking things like Go! Or Fireball! And many others but nothing seemed to work
Izuku: 'None of the things I thought to try worked, there's gotta be something im missing here.'
It was at this moment Izuku remembered something his science teacher once said
Teacher: "As Quirks started developing, over time they became apart of us, which is why most people can use their quirk instinctually like an arm or a leg"
Izuku:'THAT'S IT! I've been thinking about this wrong! I've been trying to use it like it's an external object like a weapon. I need to treat it like it's apart of me not something I would wield!'
And so Izuku started concentrating on trying to feel the fire within himself and after a moment he felt it, like a small spark within his chest it ignited and filled his body with power like a raging inferno in hos veins waiting to be unleashed!
Izuku:'I did it! Haha! This is incredible! My own Quirk! I gotta try this out!'
Izuku stood in front of one of the target dummies and pointed his palm at the target and let go of his hold on the inferno raging inside him. The results where instantaneous a giant wave of fire sprung from his arm knocking himself back in the process, he had to look away with how bright the fire was.
[Skill Exp: Rising of the Phoenix +5%]
Smiling lightly at the pop-up Izuku returned his attention back to the remains of the dummy. Looking back all that was left of the dummy was the stand connecting itself to the floor, strangely though even with how big that wave of fire was nothing else had so much as a mark on it. He walked over to the floor behind the dummy and touched it.
Izuku:'It's not even warm! What is this place made of? But looking back that was a huge wave of fire and It barely felt warm but looking at the scorch marks on the stand it must've been quite hot, so does this mean I'm immune to fire? Or just my own fire? And if so could I light something on fire with my quirk and be immune to the flames? Questions for later.'
As Izuku was done thinking the dummy stand sunk into the floor and was replaced by a new dummy seemingly made of the same material as before.
Izuku:'If that's how the offensive half of my quirk works how does the healing half work? Is it just my intention when I release it? Only one way to find out.'
Izuku approached the new dummy and took a stance in front of it once more with his palm outstretched before it
Izuku:'Heal this target do no harm'
And as Izuku thought that and released the hold over the inferno within once more instead of the raging orange flames he had to look away from before the flames were a soft yellow color and felt like a warm sunny day on his skin. Izuku also noticed the flames didn't leave his hand this time and instead looked like his hand was a candle with the fire lightly floating above his palm. Putting his palm against the dummy he noticed that nothing happened, the dummy didn't burn or so much as move.
[Skill Exp: Rising of the Phoenix +5%]
Izuku:'Whew, I'm glad this one was simpler to understand. I don't wanna go accidentally torching people I'm trying to heal.'
Taking one last look at his palm Izuku willed the fire away and the flame in his palm instantly went out. Izuku walked back over to the pedestal now knowing how to actually USE his power, he clicked the continue button.
[Good now that you know how to use your Skill and understand the Skill Training room proceed to the sparring room for combat training]
Nodding his head once more Izuku opened the door and walked back to the main room before proceeding into the room labeled "Sparring". Upon walking into the room Izuku stopped in shock, it wasn't a room it was a seemingly impossible infinite grassland with only a pedestal and the door he came in which had nothing around it, just standing on the grass seemingly not connected to anything
Izuku:'Don't question it, Don't question it will only lead to headaches'
[The sparring room is designed so you can practice fighting in any environment and against any kind of opponent you come across, walk up to the pedestal to continue]
Rubbing his temples to ward off the incoming headache Izuku did as he was told and approached the pedestal
[There are a number of options for the sparring room, you can change the environment to any you've fought in before as well as a number of pre built in environments. The second option is the fighter you are facing, any opponents you face will be added here as well as some built in training opponents, Choose the School environment and Katsumi Bakugo as your opponent to continue]
Izuku did as directed and when he clicked the environments button on the pedestal there were a number to choose from
Izuku:'Grassland, Mustafu City, Dojo, Bedroom, School, WAIT BEDROOM?!? System what, Don't question it Izuku, Don't Question it'
Izuku clicked school and the room around him shimmered like when he first appeared here in the dojo before it changed to his school courtyard.
Izuku:'Woah! This is completely accurate! Not a single flaw to be found, this system is amazing sometimes'
Izuku looked back at the pedestal and clicked the Opponents button and looked through the list to find Katsumi
Izuku:'Gal-might, Endeavor, Midnight, Eraserhead is here too?'
After scrolling through a number of heroes and people who had bullied Izuku over the years he saw Katsumi and suddenly got nervous was he ready to willingly get into a fight with Katsumi? For training or not he was still deathly afraid of the girl. With unsteady hands and a nervous sigh Izuku clicked the button with Katsumi's name on it and flinched back preparing for a beating, after a moment of it not coming he put his arms down and looked around and in front of the pedestal was a hologram of Katsumi
[The last choice is Costumes, prominent costumes of the opponent can be chosen]
Izuku looked back down at the pedestal and clicked the costume button, and a list of costumes for Katsumi popped up
[ Costumes for: Katsumi Bakugo
School Clothes [EQUIPPED]
Hero/Villain costume [NOT AVAILABLE]
Bikini [LOCKED]
Nightwear [LOCKED]
Naked [LOCKED] ]
Izuku couldn't help but splutter at the last few options.
Izuku:'WHY ARE THE LAST 3 OPTIONS A THING THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A FIGHT? SYSTEM WHAT THE HELL'
[Please note that some costumes have unlock requirements, To view the unlock Requirements just tap on the costume, after selecting the desired costume click the begin button to continue]
Izuku couldn't help himself at that point, what could possibly unlock seeing Katsumi naked in a fight?
[Costume: Naked
Unlock Requirements: Have sex with Katsumi Bakugo }
Izuku grew a massive blush after picturing that in his head, and questioned the system's sanity.
Izuku:'That'd never happen! First Katsumi hates my guts, Second I don't even like her that way!'
After a moment he got past his system's supposed "insanity" and clicked ok on the School Outfit, the only one available]
[Great! Now before the battle begins the system will explain your stats, please think 'Status' to continue]
Izuku:'*sigh* It physically couldn't get any stranger after that, Status'
*Ding*

Izuku's eye twitched at his title but couldn't help but smile at the system wishing him a happy birthday
[Your stats can be a bit complicated so heres the breakdown for them:
Name - Duh! Your name, Will also contain hero name/Villain name if path is pursued
Titles - Impactful names you've gained, can equip two at once but "The Protagonist title is locked equipped, for obvious reasons, each title has effects that can be read by expanding the title list
Age - Duh! Your age!
Quirk(s) - while more so only here for another skill you'll unlock soon it shows Your quirks!
HP - Health Points, a physical quantification of your health, if this drops to 0 when not sparring, you die, end of story, HP is determined by 100 + (STR*10) + (VIT*25) HP does not auto recover over time, you need to either use a healing item, sleep or get healed
STA - Stamina! Although not your running or exercising stamina. This is a seperate pool of energy (separated by the system so you don't pass out using your quirk, your welcome) That your quirks that use energy draw from! You can overdraft this pool but it will directly affect your exhaustion. STA is determined by 100 + (END*25) + (VIT*10) Stamina recovery is 4% + (END*0.1)% per minute, Note this will slow if you are already physically exhausted as that will be filled first
MP - mana points, for magic, like every good RPG in existence, just locked for now ;) MP is determined by 50 + (INT*25) + (WIS*10) MP recovery is 1% + (WIS*0.01)% per minute
Level - Your level! You are an RPG character, how could you not have levels? Certain actions grant exp, such as fighting enemies or training
For all stats 10 is the average for a fully grown adult with no quirk
Strength - Quantification of your strength, how hard you can hit something, this stat effects HP
Endurance - How long you can push on! This skill affects how well you can handle pain and your ability to work through exhaustion, as well as your overall Stamina
Dexterity - Your Agileness and your body coordination, This is like Agility Speed and Dexterity all wrapped up in one
Vitality - How overall Healthy you are! This skill also impacts your resistance to poisons
Intelligence - Book smarts, this also effects how powerful magic is and your mana pool to cast them from Magic Power= Spell Base power Modifier + (INT*0.1)
Magic power is calculated into a spell like this: Damage/effect= Spell base damage/effect*Magic Power
Wisdom - Street smarts, how well you can handle yourself in a social situation, this was at 2 but I felt bad for you and gave you 3 free points also affects mana regeneration
Charm - The most important skill in the game, How charming you are! If you are charming enough opponents will surrender more easily, makes it easier to attract others, Makes you more likable on first glance to others
System Points - have a variety of uses, awarded for quest completion or achievements, currently locked
]
Izuku raised a brow at how much importance the system put on charm, as well as how high his int and charm were compared to the rest of his skills, he pointedly ignored the jab at his wisdom. But reading the title comment he pulled up his stats once more and clicked the expand titles button

Titles
The Protagonist: You are the main character of this story! Causes all major events to revolve around the user of this title

Quirkless - A title gained for not having a quirk don't worry 99.9% of other males share this title, while equipped causes people to underestimate you drastically
Mama's Boy - You love your mom! +5 charm while equipped
---
Izuku looked down the list and couldn't help but flinch at his "nickname" deku, how he hated that nickname, He was not useless! He'd show them all! Continuing down the list he decided that the "Quirkless" title would be the best title to equip, when someone underestimates you that can lead to instant defeat!
[Good, now onto perhaps the most useful skill in existence: Observe, take a look]

Izuku balked at this skill
Izuku:'Isn't this a little over powered? Noone will be able to hide any aces up their sleeve against me! This is like every analysis quirk on steroids!'
Izuku practically had stars in his eyes looking at this skill, seeing as his favorite pass-time was detailing pro heroes this was a huge boon
[Use this skill on Katsumi now]
Izuku nodded and did as told

[ACCEPT] [̷D̷E̷C̷L̷I̷N̷E̷]̷
---
Izuku's jaw must've been on the floor because he sure couldn't find it on his face although his cheeks felt like they were on fire, at least he could scratch off fire resistance, but who lit the fire on his cheeks? He would never know
Izuku:'I-I've never even thought of her like that! I don't like her like that!'
Izuku was trying to defend himself from the system's blatant accusations when the system interrupted
[Incorrect You've thought about her like that a number of times and you have an on-going crush on her, the system is merely giving you the tools to be successful in your ventures]
Izuku went quiet after that, he supposed arguing with his own quirk was a sure fire way to lose an argument, and he couldn't lie, she is cute, if not a bit violent. WHO LIT HIS CHEEKS ON FIRE SERIOUSLY? Izuku sighed and clicked the accept button
[Now click the begin button on the pedestal to start the fight]
Izuku took a breath to steady his nerves and hesitantly clicked the start button and suddenly found himself on the left side of the courtyard facing Katsumi on the right and she looked angry.
Katsumi:"Prepare to get the shit kicked out of you Deku!"
She seemed REALLY mad, there was a countdown timer floating in the middle that was counting down from 30. Izuku took stock of himself and what he knew of Katsumi
Izuku:'She's a high powered melee brawler, my best bet is to try and stay away from her and blast her with my quirk from afar'
As he finished his thought the timer hit 0 and a buzzer sounded
Katsumi took off launching herself at Izuku with her explosions closing the distance between them quickly. Izuku pointed both his palms at her
Izuku:'I'm sorry about this Katsumi!'
And he unleashed a giant fire way hurtling toward Katsumi forcing her back before she got burned which reopened the distance between them which seemed to frustrate Katsumi. Izuku checked his stamina in the lull after the attack
---
STA: 400/420
---
Izuku:'Good it doesn't use much of my stamina up, there's that worry gone now I've gotta figure out a way to hit her while keeping the distance between us'
Katsumi once more launcher herself at Izuku trying to get close enough to launch an explosion off at him, Izuku looked at his hand before forming a finger gun and trying to launch the fire like a bullet out of his finger, what resulted was a small orange-red ball of fire launching at Katsumi much faster than she could dodge, resulting in her top getting singed and pushing her back, not letting up Izuku started rapidly firing of the flame bullets until Katsumi was pushed outside his range, and he prepared for her counter attack while looking at his stamina
---
STA: 240/420
---
Izuku:' I fired off about twenty bullets there so each uses about 8 stamina, I gotta be careful using these or I'll accidently run myself dry. Izuku took a look at Katsumi's remaining hp, helpfully displayed above her head as well as her stamina
---
HP: 750/1350
STA: 1000/1150
---
Izuku quickly realized he was going to need something more powerful to take out katsumi as he would run himself out of stamina before he could take Katsumi down, but before he could continue to think Katsumi once more launched herself at Izuku, except launching herself in a random pattern of left to right explosions making herself harder to hit.
Izuku:'If I can unleash a flame wave can I use it like a flame thrower?'
And so he tried, and succeed he did, instead of a single powerful wave of fire a continuous stream of flame came from his palm forcing Katsumi to retreat once more
Katsumi:"Stop being a pussy and fight me Deku!"
She was livid now. While she prepared to launch herself at Izuku once more Izuku looked at his stamina and his eyes bulged at how low it was after the flamethrower attack.
---
STA: 100/420
---
Izuku had one chance to find a way to end this or he'd run out of stamina, and since everything else he tried seemingly worked he got a crazy idea, so Instead of releasing the hold of his fire and launching it outwards he held on, fire pulled into his palm and continued growing, and when it seemed like it would grow past his palm it stopped,
Izuku:'Is this the limit on how much I can pool at once? I won't be able to finish it with this!'
But as Izuku was thinking, it got brighter, and brighter, it started changing color from orange to a light purple. As this was going on Katsumi was building an explosion in her hands, she pooled enough nitro-glycerin in her palms to launch herself at Izuku much faster than before, and she ignited the explosion, launching herself at Izuku closing the gap in a matter of seconds. When Izuku realized she launched herself at him he put the palm with the now purple ball of fire at her
Izuku:'Wait for it, wait for it'
The ball started changing from purple to light blue and Katsumi was almost directly in front of Izuku now
Izuku:'NOW GO'
Izuku launched the compressed ball of fire at Katsumi who was too close to dodge, Izuku flying back in the process from the propulsion and slammed against the wall with his eyes closed due to the brightness of the ball of fire. When he was finally able to open his eyes once more he saw Katsumi's HP bar bottom out and her disappear. Izuku couldn't stand and he could barely keep his eyes open before he heard the systems notification

Izuku pulled himself out of the wall he had launched himself into and took a look at his stat changes
Izuku:'So I get some points in each stat on every level as well as some stats that I can assign, hmm my INT is out as That seems to be my fastest growing stat already as well as my highest, with my quirk I'm not much of a melee brawler so strength is out.

Izuku:'I'm screwed there's no way to win this, THE SYSTEM IS TRYING TO KILL ME'
So he did the only thing he could, when the timer hits 0, he ran to the door trying to get out of the sparring room. But before he could reach halfway he felt unbearable pain in his ribcage, and then immediate shattering followed by his organs exploding out of his body as his eyes closed for the last time he only had one thought
Izuku:'I died, to my own quirk, what will mom think?'
And as he closed his eyes for the last time, he expected to find nothing, but he didn't. He felt a bed below him and snapped his eyes open, he was back in his room! He looked at the ground next to his bed and saw a small bug crawling along it before it flipped over and stopped moving suddenly.
