WHOOO 50 BABY!
Sorry for no uploads AGAIN, I got sick and stayed at my sisters for a bit, haven't seen her for awhile so... Well in other news I've been grinding out One Piece, finished Long Island, Water 7, and Enies Lobby in a couple days, so about 60+ Episodes, it's pretty fire.
Gonna update my proper Novel book here eventually and started a short story, whether I properly do something with it is a meh right now.
Also I'm aware on occasion I misspell things, I should note that I don't have anyone to check these chapters plus I do them when I have to and motivation, which is normally at, well currently it's 6:40 Am that I'm starting this one so.... (No I haven't slept)
Anyways Enjoy!

??? POV
Soft pattering rain slowly resonating through the timeless shallowed streets of a dark world, at least it feels timeless. Harrowing seconds ever passing as puddles of water slowly ripple like an everchanging tide.
Each corner of every alley, every reflection, every single gust of wind feeling like a gazing eye no different than the one so high in the sky, each single glare staring at a singular figure. Just one figure resting in the middle of a crossroad, a set of purple eyes glaring back at the others, etched markings crawling up their skin.
The sound of soft humming and watery drops are the only noises heard, along with the occasional gust of wind and eerie howl, though who's to say the howls are even real, it becomes hard to tell in such a lively disserted place.
The water fills the streets, engulfing the ground floor as the figure sinks into it, drifting off into a lightless place. their eyes completely opening before laying on another figure, one of similar appearance.

3rd POV
(It's hard being consistent with POV's but it should be easy to tell even if I'm not saying POV Switch)
The sound of heavy breathing can be heard from decently sized bedroom, the noise one of distress.
"Hey, c'mon please wake up", Setsuna's distressed voice can be heard as she shakes her sleeping lover.
"He- AH!" Almost falling Setsuna catches herself with her not floating arms before staring at her panting and out of breath second half.
The sound of huffing and puffing being one of the only noises being heard inside the room, "Hey is everything alright, relax and lay back a little".
Glancing up his eyes lock onto hers, "Its- I'm fine, just uh... Just a bad dream I think".
"Only a bad dream -she gives him a worried look- you sure that's all it was?"
"Yeah? It- It's hard to tell, it was just so... cold and it felt like so many eyes were on me, kinda blurry to be honest", shifting himself up he pats Setsuna's hair gently.
"I'll be fine, like I said it was just some weird bad dream is all", still having an offset look on her face she sighs leaving it at that.
"Alright, just let me know if it keeps bothering you, okay?"
Giving her a nod the two quickly get changed before stepping out into the hall, finding themselves in front of their now new partners.
The previous night they'd agreed upon giving Momo and Jiro a spare guest bedroom for space and since they're all still adjusting to the new situation.
"Good morning, I was getting worried the two of you might not wake."
"Sorry Momo, just took a minute is all. Oh right, did you want to me to look up some heroes on my Data-Pad?"
She shakes her head gently, "I will be fine for now, I am still deciding on what I am looking for in my internship".
Giving an understanding nod I turn towards Jiro, "I'll be fine too, looked over my recommendations a bit and was thinking of going along with Death Arms".
I give her a light smile as she stares back, "...no comment on my choice?"
"Nope, you think it's a good idea and I don't disagree. The only reason I even gave my opinion in the first place was because Setsuna brought up Momo's choice and I only commented on Setsuna's pick because it was the topic at the time. Plus Death Arms gets in plenty action as is, plus he's got an added bonus of his action only ever being basic stuff, like robberies."
"There's the comment."
Stopping in his tracks the violet can't help but wither away in his failure.
"Hey he tried. C'mon my knight maybe some sunlight will help you shine more", Setsuna wraps her arm around his left one, pulling him down stairs as the four head out.
"Hey wait a minute. If he's a knight in shining armor then are you the damsel or the dragon, you know... since you're a lizard and all."
"... Good question, I suppose I'm both of them, I mean I can be in two places at once, partially that is."
...
Things continued like this throughout week, days going, training continuing, and an odd feeling of forgetfulness encroaching on his mind.
Along with it all the odd dreams seemed to gradually get more frequent, never in a way that would hurt his mental health or daily life, but enough that it worries his lover, or now in secret lovers.
Oddly enough they don't seem to affect his time training, the time spent throughout the nights in different locations fighting, though only ever fighting for a bit as it would cause to much strain to do it everyday.

MC POV - Subway Station - Monday
The sound of bustling people, whispering voices, and those buying things throughout their day can be heard as we all stand in front of Aizawa, hero suitcases in hand, though I've got 3, a new case being added for my spears fragments.
(I stated awhile back his spear was altered to break apart into small metal fragments)
"You've all got your hero gear? Good, wearing them in public is strictly prohibited unless you're working alongside your chosen intern, and please don't lose them, I don't need to deal with that again. Now all of you be on your best behavior and go."
"I'm so excited!" Mina jumps around in her spot as a couple of our classmates are looking around at the people nearby recognizing us.
"will you be okay?"
"I'll be fine, my dreams aren't that bad, just a little bothersome is all," I squeeze her wrist a little before rubbing it as she lets out a sigh.
"Alright, just call if you need anything", giving a nod I giving a wave good bye to Setsuna before I give one to Jiro and Momo, of who I previously gave my proper goodbyes too this morning.
(Just realized that Omaezaki is far from Shizuoka (1 HR 45), where UA is thought to be located in MHA lore, Musutafu = Shizuoka, so for now stated lore reasons the Orphanage is on the edge of Omaezaki and the school is pseudo similar that a super long Jog (30-45 minutes) could get you there if you exclude transport.)
Slowly many leave as I take a seat nearby as my subway doesn't arrive for awhile, 'Hiroshima huh? Gonna be a couple hours till I get there, I'll just rest on the train, maybe I should start working on a breathing style soon, I'll deal with it later'.
10 Hours Later
'So this is the place?'
Staring at the skyscraper like building I let out a sigh, 'Suppose it makes sense, private area, probably a private training room, and probably given by the HPSC (Hero Public Safety Commission)'.
Heading inside I look at my Data-Pad before heading into an elevator and clicking floor 36.
"*BEEP* This floor is for authorized personnel only, please input an authorization pin, guest pin, or contact the Hero Public Safety Commission".
"..."
Checking my Data-Pad I look to see if I was given a pin before the elevator starts moving on it's own.
"Pin Accepted".
'... Is she awake or did someone in security authorize me, maybe my pad came with special tracking to let me pass?'
Deciding to let it go for now I wait until I reach my floor, finding myself quickly situated in what looks to be entrance to a open space penthouse, the living room, kitchen, and a couple other rooms being quickly spotable, though blocked off by doors.
"Hello?"
Stepping inside I place my boxed down before taking a quick look around, though from a distance.
'Couple pair of shoes, though each one seems to be occasion themed, a single winter coat hung up, and a picture of someone named "Mirko Cro Cop", he seems to be an adult male? Seems to be her house, or something along those lines, but where is she?'
Continuing to look around I notice an open door leading towards what seems to be a private gym, 'Couldn't hurt to check, maybe she's just working out late'.
Stepping into the room I look around, dozens of weight lifting objects, a treadmill, and many other exercising tools strewn about.
'Wow this place is state of the art, she really doesn't hold back, if this is her house that-,' before I can take another step I throw my left hand up catching a kick.
Despite my catch I'm thrown back to the other end of the room, recovering mid way I land on feet before I have to side dodge another attack.
"Well aren't you light on your feet!"
A decently shorter woman with white bunny ears and a carefree attitude stands across the room form me, dressed in a block sports bra and flexible but tight pants.
(Doing less on characters descriptions as they aren't as needed as people claim the need to be, like many books never even mention a characters physical appearance at times, look at PJO. Plus you all got google or are reading this because you saw MHA, and if you're reading this but never seen it... well then I'm shocked)
Crouching down she disappears before reappearing in front of me as I manage to throw my self into the air with my quirk, twisting myself upside down I send a kick to her head that blocks with her arm.
Using my momentum she throws me into one of the walls, though I recover myself and plant my feet onto the wall, standing on it.
'She's fast and managed to catch me off guard, my perception should catch up here in a sec,' immediately I start doing my Total Concentration Breathing, kicking my body into high gear.
"And you aren't afraid to fight without asking questions? Maybe I won't regret this," pulling her right leg back she throws it forward, cutting the air horizontally as I barely manage to dodge a blade like attack made of pure wind, the attack causing decent damage to the wall I was standing on.
'She can use air like that, I don't recall her being able to do that. Guess I should throw what I know out the window then.'
"Kinda focusing on not getting beat up, take priority over introductions," reaching my hand out I pull one of the traditional weight lifting bars towards me and dash at my opponent.
Going for a sweep I just barely manage to miss as she jumps up and shoots her feet out at me, using the end of my makeshift staff I deflect the blow to my right and shoot the tip out at her head.
Her extended right leg pushes itself into my right shoulder forcing my staff to just barely miss, placing herself into a hand stand she jumps back.
"You aren't half bad, your senses are lacking and your arm strength is too, but overall you're not half bad".
"My arm strength? I use gravity training, you sure?"
I keep myself in a defensive stance as I watch her casually stand up, her smile still present, though oddly enough it seems to grow at my words, weird.
"Yep! So you can use your quirk for training. Anyway, it should be basic knowledge for anyone half decent at working out, but increasing your body weight will put more strain on your spine and legs more than anything".
"Figures, though it seems like you didn't invite me just because you thought it would be fun, want my quirk huh?"
Once again crouching she stares ahead, her smile widening as it seems to do when she starts fighting, "Talk later, fight no-".
R.T: Bo-Bup - Hyperspeed version, Bo-Pup, a technique created for quick movements in any direction, and it's sister from ITF Taekwondo Hyperspeed, a technique focused on a straight line attack.
One allows for more movement and the other allows for using momentum to increase a techniques power.
R.T: Baekdu, using my forwards momentum I plant my knee into her gut as she is sent flying across the room, though she recovers and reengages me in close quarters combat.
Throwing away the bar we start trading blows, her experience, raw physical experience, and natural prowess giving her a severe upper-hand.
After a couple more blows are thrown out she jumps back a bit, "You know, your first impression was good, but the more we fight the more I get annoyed".
I stare at her wide eyes for a moment, a look of confusion on my face.
"Holding back, it's annoying me so stop it, I'm not good at this teaching thing really, but I can't even try to do much if you're holding back so god damn much. I felt it the second you entered the building and I can feel it now, an animalistic desire. Though at a first glance your quirk doesn't seem to be tied to animals or the sixth sense, but something about you is, and I've got some guesses, but underneath it all, deeper that some kiddies at a school could detect there is something more, a raw unrefined anger just wanting to pick a fight. I was warned you had a 'Berserk Mode', so let it out I can't do much if I don't know what I'm dealing with".
I just stare at her, taking a moment to process her words, "...You sure?"
"Worried? No offense but I haven't even broken a sweat yet, plus we'll have plenty time to do stuff later, just give me a minute with the other side will you, and if you get to out of control I'll just knock you out, not a big deal," she shrugs her shoulder as if knocking out a berserk gravity user was just a casual thing to do throughout the day.
'Should I? I don't see much of a problem with it but still, the idea of doing it just feels off for some reason, plus her comment on 'unrefined anger' and possibly knowing about my situation... suppose it couldn't hurt if she could give some answers but still. This whole situation just feels off, so fast and like this is nothing at all. But maybe that's just life when you're dealing with someone who doesn't really care, or just lives there life without regret.'
"Alright fine... here goes".

Imaging reading a book that gets updated on a shitty non-existent schedule just to get cliff hangered, couldn't be me.
Also working on getting Mirko's personality down at the second, so hopefully I did good.
Question of the Chapter: Opinions on the new MHA Chapters? (Spoilers in Comments, if anyone actually respond)
