『Hakari Kotaro』
Hastily pulling my new hero outfit on in the hallway, I stumbled into the garden. I should have prepared myself for Mirko being temperamental, but her immediately pulling me to the garden the moment I came here was not in my expectations.
My new hero uniform was pretty simple. It was mostly a placeholder until I figured out something that I'd stick with. Based off the outfit of one Leon Kennedy. I wore a black shirt(for comfort), fingerless gloves(to allow me to punch harder), cargo pants and a belt with pouches(to stuff the Bag of Holding into) and a hair tie to not have my hair get in the way.
In the large garden, or more like a forest her house was connected to, Miro waited for me with her hands on her hips and an expectant smile on her face. As I stepped out, she put her hand on her chin while inspecting every inch of my body like a cut of meat.
"Nice, nice, you're pretty well-trained, aren't you? Got decent amount of muscle on you. Battle-scarred too."
Battle in bed but she was right.
"So, Mirko-san, what are we doing out here?"
She crossed her arms and let out a huff of amusement.
"What do you think? You came here to learn under me. I gotta see what you are made of if I want to teach you. Or at least that's what the booklet told me."
Under my gaze, she scratched her head before giving me a confident grin and a thumbs up.
"Whatever, I don't care about that stuff, I just wanna see if you can live up to what you displayed in the Festival! So here's the deal, you see my garden?"
She jabbed her thumb towards the forest behind her and I raised my eyebrow.
"The entire forest?"
"Duh the entire forest! You think those grow in the middle of a city? I bought the land after it got razed in a villain attack and had Kamui and a few friends turn it into a forest. It's where I train! And where you are going to be training!"
Geez, I was used to UA having that much bullshit land, but I didn't expect Mirko to be that obnoxiously rich. At least she is doing something cool with her money instead of using it to fuck people over.
"Anyway! Here is the deal, you have 5 minutes to draw blood from me! That's all, no other rules!"
That... shouldn't be too hard, I had Enhanced Senses, Hemokinesis, Iron Flesh and all sorts of skills to use against her. Though she seemed to take my silence in a different way.
"You're not convinced? Fine, you see this?" She turned around and gestured to her incredible ass, making my eyes go wide before she slapped it. "If you do succeed, I'll let you touch my ass all you want after we are done."
"Cough! Cough!"
It's a good thing I didn't have a drink in my mouth right now, because I surely would have choked to death on the spot. I rubbed my eyes and did a double take to make sure what I heard was right.
"...Really? Why?"
Mirko smirked.
"What? You chicken? I was a teen once too, I know what boys think about. Besides, it's just some ass, what's the big deal!? If I can get you to fight your heart out for it, that's fine by me. But..." She narrowed her eyes and despite her being a bunny, I felt like I was being stared down by a wolf. "...Don't expect me to go easy on you."
What, what is this feeling?
Did I just feel scared for a moment there?
Shaking my head, I cracked my fingers and met her stare with my own, we got closer until even our chests were touching. Our eyes locked with a fierce air of competition.
"You're on. Once I win, your ass is mine."
"HAH! I like it, come get it then!"
Mentally I adjusted my ability slots into Greater Hemokinesis, Iron Flesh, Enhanced Senses and Super Regeneration while she set a timer on her phone before tossing it away and spreading her arms.
"Come at me!"
'Flowing Red Scale!' 'Enhanced Sense!'
I activated both abilities at once, my senses spread to superhuman levels, I could count every blade of glass and every leaf in this small forest. Pushing my body to the limits while maintaining a low level of Super Regeneration, I launched myself at Mirko, feigning a straight while going for a hook.
Thud!
"Really? I expected better."
A wall?
No, my fist connected with Mirko's cheek without any attempt on her end to dodge or block. But her face did not budge, her neck did not strain. It felt like I struck an immovable wall with that punch. Mirko's lip quirked up just a little.
"Here, let me teach you how to hit properly!"
Death.
I drew my hands back and formed blood under my skin into a subdermal armor while using Iron Skin to block Mirko's punch. The moment her fist connected with my arms, I felt like it was put under a hydraulic press. I gritted my teeth as my legs dragged across the ground from the force behind the hit.
Shit, despite two layers of protection, I still felt that hit in my bones. I'm surprised I didn't break anything from that.
"Damn, you're still standing? Good, seems like I won't have to send you home then! Now, where are all your flashy tricks!? Don't worry, you can't hurt me even if you want to!"
First my lust, now my pride, she was really wanting a fight, huh?
Letting blood explode from my arms I formed multiple convergences, as long as I drew some blood from her, it was my victory.
"Slicing Exorcism!"
I sent four flying blood sawblades aiming towards her, but Mirko shattered them with her fists and legs. However, my Sawblades bought me enough time to grab one of the Convergences and put my palms together.
"Piercing Blood!"
Fssssshhhh!
"That's the thing with long rangers like you! You put too much thought into your attack, and not what happens after!"
I fired off the Piercing Blood, the line of blood punching a baseball sized hole through several trees, but Mirko dodged it with contemptuous ease before rushing towards and kicking me straight in the solar plexus.
Crunch!
"Gueh!"
Feeling her break something probably important and drive all air out from my lungs, I flew into the air before she leaped up after me and bicycle kicked me straight down. I bounced off the ground like a stress ball before hitting the trees right after. My world spun in pain for a moment before Super Regeneration kicked, and I recovered from my wounds in a few seconds before wiping the blood from my lips.
"What the fuck!? Are you trying to kill me!?"
Mirko cocked her hip.
"Hah! If I thought you were the kind of kid that'd die from that, I wouldn't have brought you here. You won't die, so stop whining and come at me! Time's ticking you know?"
Closing my mouth I narrowed my eyes before regulating my breathing and drawing on my Hamon, using it to enhance my body in tandem with Flowing Red Scale.
"Oh, that's new!"
'Flowing Red Scale - Stack!'
I flew off the ground towards Mirko and punched towards her face again, only she ducked it and kicked towards my face. But I bent my body midair and stomped down onto the ground. However, Mirko's high kick suddenly changed into an axe kick.
"Luna Hacha!"
Sending a blood tendril out from my body, I used it as a grappling hook to avoid the kick that would have split my arm in half had it landed. Repositioned, I sent several blood bullets at Mirko who weaved around them.
"Now this is a workout!"
I rushed in again, blood tore through the behind of my hands to form into a katar that I stabbed towards her face, but she caught it in her hands and crushed it before doing a low kick that shattered my leg as easily as snapping a chopstick.
"Grah!"
Forcefully setting my leg back in place using hemokinesis, I punched Mirko with a clean uppercut that made her head snap back before she brought her head forward with a headbutt so strong that it sent me flying and dispelled my Flowing Red Scale and Hamon Breathing, sending me flying through a tree before I regenerated.
"Seems like you had in you after all! That was a pretty solid hit!"
She said, without a drop of blood on her lips.
Half pushing myself off the ground, I stilled while crouching.
"What? Giving up already? C'mon, show me more, we just got started!"
I need something stronger, my flesh has a limit on how much force it can take and dish out. I was hurting myself more than her with Flowing Red Scale. I needed something that could let me take a hit to try and land one on her.
This is a concept I've been working on for a while. And I couldn't think of someone better to test it on.
Blood leaked out of my pores in volumes before covering my body and semi-hardening, like a non-newtonian fluid thanks to Iron Flesh. Being solid when it needed to be, and fluid when it needed to be. Due to my enhanced senses I could handle the multitasking and attention this required.
Eventually, the blood around my body formed into a set of hardened crimson armor.
'Crimson Clad!'
Mirko's eyes glinted in excitement. I felt my armor through my hemokinesis, it stabbed into my body from several angles and melded into my bloodstream. I leaped off the ground, while also pushing the armor forward with Hemokinesis at the same time, bounding towards Mirko like a bullet.
"That's more like it!"
She met my punch by raising her leg and intercepting it, her leg felt like a steel pillar, immovable. But I pulled back by controlling my armor and kicked towards her other leg while changing the front of my greaves into a blade. But she quickly raised her leg and instead balled up before dropkicking me right in the chest.
"Luna Punt!"
Immense force planted itself onto my chest, as if I were shot by a railgun, but the armor shattering took some of the force away while the subdermal blood layer took another brunt of my force. As a result, I managed to be launched away without shattering my ribcage. Even if fucking HURT LIKE HELL!!!!
Due to the armor, subdermal armor and blood stream all being connected like a network, when the impact hit them, it felt like all of my veins were being yanked on. I writhed on the floor like an electrocuted eel for a moment before gritting my teeth and getting up. Disconnecting the three layers of blood. Was it better for defense? Yes. Was the pain also unbearable for even me? Also yes.
Instead, I felt the armor around me and got ready to reinforce it with Iron Flesh whenever I needed to.
"Got more in you?"
I cracked my back.
"Plenty."

『Hakari Kotaro』
Grandpa... is that... you? Why are you here?
"Hakari! Sonny! Come over here!"
When did this river get here? Why is my grandpa waving at me?
tap tap tap tap!
"Oh man, I might have gone overboard there. Kid! Kid! You alive!?"
Feeling a gloved her repeatedly lightly tap my cheek, I snapped back and took a deep breath as I came to be.
Didn't I die?
It certainly felt like it!
"Finally done with your beauty nap kid? Still didn't get a drop of blood out of me."
Fuck that, I'm just glad I'm alive right now.
Was this how wrestling a freight train felt like?
But.
"Heh."
She tilted her head at my slight laugh.
"What's so funny? Did I hit your head too hard?"
𓋰Slight r18?𓋰
I pointed at her chest, more specifically, how her bodysuit was torn at the top, letting her breasts out fully, each of great size and heft, her light colored nipples already hard for some reason. Her breasts out in the air was a consolation prize better for any other, if only I had enough blood left to get hard right now. But for now, I just committed it to memory.
Mirko looked down at her free breasts, then back at me before guffawing laudy with her hands on her hips, and her laugh did wonders for her chest that bounced up and down like a rabbit would hop for a carrot.
𓋰Slight r18 End?𓋰
"I'll be damned! Seems like you really did manage to do some damage, kid! Guess you earned that one!"
"Thank you cough! Mirko-sensei."
Not bothering to cover her chest, she leaned over and picked up by whatever remained of my clothes.
"Alright, time to start this internship thing for real! You've satisfied my interest for now."
...Start?
But I can barely move my body though?
Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
A/N: Mirko absolutely stomps Hakari, this is possible the second worst beating he has gotten other than the one Shigaraki gave him. What did you expect? This is a berserker bunny, and not only that, but Hakari has the [Rivalry] trait.
Speaking of, Hakari has both [Rivalry] and [Disney Princess], but that does not make Mirko easier for him, on the contrary, it is far, far, far harder in some ways. This outcome was to be expected, Mirko is several leagues ahead of Hakari at this point. What did you guys think about the proper introduction of Mirko and Hakari's new tricks? I'd love to know.
