Chapter 24 - 2 months training

A month had passed since Melissa had awakened her power and with her father and uncle alongside Izuku guiding her through the predicament was able to solid grasp over her quirk.

The said girl is training in the cityscape using her fingers in a specific way that it shoots spider webs that cling into buildings and swing her way through streets. 

She quickly felt the ringing ducked, easily evading a harmless bullet that came from a robot flying in the air. Without wasting a moment, she shot web to the robot before pulling into her before crushing it with a kick. 

"She's improved quite a lot after a month of training."

Within the observing robot was her father proud seeing his daughter using a quirk quite efficiently. For the first couple of weeks, she was forced to wear dark tinted goggles to help her focus as the superhuman sense was disoriented and needed a way for her to keep focus.

"It all thanks to Young Midoriya giving her instructions to use her powers. Hey Dave, are you sure you would let her come with me to Japan?"

Beside him was the symbol of peace watching his niece fight robots and moving like pro heroes. This was all thanks to her spider senses that essentially move her body without over thinking.

Normally, anyone else who recently awakened a quirk takes years of development to fully grasp their ability but Melissa spider quirk had natural instincts of a spider that made it feel like she was born with the power.

"Yes, Toshi. We discussed this and I decided to let her experience the outside world. Perhaps be the hero that she always wanted to be."

AllMight remained silent only nodding before turning his head towards another panel seeing his other students working hard to improve themselves.

Few hours passed by, and Izuku came out of the training ground all tattered, showing the intensity of his training. He crack his neck looking around to see him the first to come out.

'I wonder why I'm only accessing 80% of One For All? It should be a 100% by now but why does it feel like something is blocking me?'

He frowned that even after a month of training in I-Island his other quirk had yet to advance while his Speed Force did. Izuku's top speed increased by 25% of his original speed. 

The speedster unaware that One For All contains 7 consciousness with 2 who dislike him and refused to give the rest of the power. It would be a long time before he could convince them to lend their power. 

"Why the long face, Izuku?"

He turned to see Melissa approaching him before smiling. She removes the thick goggles helping her focus as having enhanced senses make her disoriented. 

"Nothing, just surprised it's been a month since I've arrived in this place. How about you? How are you holding up with your power?"

"I'm well and thanks to you and Papa along with Uncle might have gotten better."

"That's great news!"

Both headed to the lounging area to wait for the others and before long arrived one by one. They all headed to wash themselves taking deep in the bathhouse submerging themselves with the water.

"So you've discovered something about your quirk?"

"Hell yeah! It took time for me to realize my true abilities."

"Fascinating….are you going to tell me what it is?"

"Hell no! It's my secret and I can't say until we fight."

"Alright, keep your creepy secret then."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY NERD!?"

While the two argued in their bathhouse, the other girls were doing the same relaxing in the calming water.

"You're going to join the hero course? Won't that be your support course?"(Itsuka)

"Agree, 3 years of Support course would be such a waste if you suddenly switch courses."(Momo)

"Though, I can't say I wouldn't do the same if I was in your shoes."(Jiro)

Melissa was bombarded by her sincere friends that she didn't have before as most only wanted to befriend her due being David's daughter and most didn't want to interact due to being quirkless.

She may not experience much discrimination compare to other quirkless outside of the I-Island.

"Well, I thought being 1st year in the hero course meant I would be able to be with you girls would be a fair trade and Uncle might say becoming a hero is never too late."

They smiled as the three already considered her a close friend after spending a month together. 

"Can I ask you something, Melissa-san?"

"Hmm? Sure what is it?"

"Do you like Izuku?"

"Yeah? He's a great friend like you girls. Izuku had been helping control my new quirk-"

"No, I mean like like Izuku. Not as a friend but a lover?"

Melissa paused, realizing what she meant took a moment to answer. She considers him a great friend but hadn't seen him that way.

"I-I don't know? But isn't he already your boyfriend Itsuka?"

"He is but these two fell for him and agreed that we would share him as well support him, standing beside him."

They all nodded, surprising Melissa touching her chest confused about her feelings. It's still vague if it was admiration or love.

"Anyway, just ignore my question. I was just curious."

Melissa remained quiet as she was unsure how to feel about Izuku now that her feelings were questioned. 

...…

Another month had passed Izuku and the others were now more experienced when it comes to fighting and hero work.

"Hahaha, I can't be more proud seeing all of you grow this far! Today is our last stay in I-Island and this will be your final test! I'll be your opponent so make sure to not hold back!"

AllMight declared as his student excluding Jiro and Melissa with the former being useless without a support item while the former decided to not join. 

In that time frame, Melissa had grown closer to everyone, especially Izuku, who always flustered every time Itsuka's question ran through her mind. 

The latter who accepted her to the unofficial harem squad of Izuku who were ignorant even when they were clearly talking about him.

He is dense through and through but it won't be long as the entrance exam is days away. Of course, they hadn't forgotten to study even if they were not in school.

Heck, when your friend is the smartest person teaching you along with staying at the place where genius gathered then it quickly passed in school.

"How well do you think they'll be against Uncle might?"

"Sure, win."

Izuku started to generate One For All: 80% into his body, enhancing it to become equal to current 100% AllMight. He took a stance making sure to control his breathing to avoid harming his body. 

He didn't want to use the Speed Force to help train the quirk. His power is already ridiculous at this percent and adding more would destroy the whole I-Island. 

This causes his body to shroud in purple lightning with his eye flicking in the same hue.

Meanwhile, Itsuka took a stance preparing to attack along with Momo who used her quirk to cover her body in thick Vibranium. Bakugou pointed his index fingers while grinning.

"Come at me, newbie!"

Few minutes later of intense battle, AllMight surrendered after being overwhelmed by Bakugou's precise finger gun explosion along with Izuku barrage of punches.

Itsuka landed a few hits before being blown away by the symbol of peace punch while Momo used a combination of a chemical that numbs the opponent's senses for a few hours and an explosion similar to Bakugou but smaller scale. 

In the end, their teamwork defeated AllMight who became numb from chemicals making her weaker. 

'Young Momo quirk would have been lifted if not for young Midoriya's creativity while Itsuka's full use of her strike overcame  her simple quirk.'

AllMight looking at his student's exhausted body. Izuku and Bakugou were the only ones who barely sweat, quite ironic when the latter needed to sweat. 

"Hahaha I told you I'll be the best and surpass you!!"

"Bleh! I doubt you will defeat AllMight without our help."

Bakugou grunted neither denying nor agreeing with his words. He was too prideful to admit it but acknowledge their help.

"Few days will be your entrance exam, therefore you all must still train even after returning home. I won't interfere with your scores but I'll be watching, so go beyond plus ultra!"
