Chapter 134 - Punching Bag

Brando walked to the underground of Ryukyu's office. It wasn't his first time coming here since he often came to this place to work out.

Everyone in this place was women and it was quite rare for them to come to the training hall.

Brando usually trained there alone or with Nejire who was bugging him to tell her story or answer her question. He wasn't the type who was thinking that a woman was weaker than man and he didn't mind to fight with woman especially when his opponent was the rank 9 hero, Ryukyu. He wanted to know how powerful this woman was since she could become the rank 9 hero in this country. He knew once he underestimated women he might otherwise get killed. He remembered that there were a lot of powerful women in the world.

Ryukyu entered the training hall and stopped in the center of the field. She looked at him and said, "Dio, do you know that our Quirk is very troublesome to do a hero activity in the city, right?"

Brando nodded, "Our size is too big. If we're not careful, we might hurt the civilians or destroy some property."

Ryukyu nodded, "That's why my office is focussed on suppression of villains and not rescue since with my Quirk it'll be hard for me to save someone in a small place."

"Can you not do a hybrid form like me?" Brando asked. He knew that Ryukyu's Quirk was able to transform into a dragon but he had never seen her ability to change into a hybrid form.

Ryukyu shook her head, "No. I can't do a hybrid form like you. In a sense, your Quirk is more versatile than me since you're able to transform it into a combination of human and dinosaur." She was quite envious since Brando could do a partial transformation. Her activity was limited to catching or fighting villains since it was hard for her to evacuate someone in such a big size.

Brando had another function of his Quirk but it was better to keep silent.

"You're very strong and I have seen you fighting in both the Sports Festival and your internship in the past few days," Ryukyu said and added, "Actually, I don't think that I can teach you much about fighting but I'll tell you tips and tricks when you're fighting in a crowded place and how to evacuate people during the villains attack."

"Here?" Brando thought that it was weird to do that kind of training in his field training since he thought that it was better to go out directly and search for villains that way he could see how Ryukyu handled them.

"I know, but there isn't anything urgent now and the world is good when it is peaceful," Ryukyu said.

"Well, I agree with you on that," Brando nodded.

"That's why for now you'll have to fight both of us," Ryukyu said, and Nejire floated around her.

"......"

"My Quirk might not be able to evacuate anyone and that's why I have a sidekick to help me do that. My sidekick will evacuate the civilians and then I'll stop the villains," Ryukyu said and added, "Your mission is to stay as long as possible without attacking us."

'I am punching bag now?' Brando twitched his lips and said, "So all I need to do is to dodge your attack?"

"Yeah," Ryukyu said and suddenly turned into a dragon to stomp him.

BAAAM!

Brando sighed in relief but he felt something beside him.

"Full Charge. Output: 30," Nejire was ready with her attack and released a golden spiral of energy toward him, "Wring Wave!"

Brando had always wanted to see how powerful this attack was. He didn't move and decided to receive this attack directly.

DOOOONNN!!

Brando could feel the powerful pressure that was pushing him. He tightened his muscles and held himself to not being pushed by this attack.

Nejire was surprised when she saw him receive her attack directly, "Dio! Are you alright?" Though she knew that his durability was strong, it was hard not to get worried about him.

"Yeah," Brando was alright and asked, "Can you attack me with Output: 100?"

"You'll get hurt!" Nejire reprimanded him.

Brando thought for a while and asked, "Then slowly increase the output."

"Hey, don't forget about me!" Ryukyu said and gave him a headbutt.

BAAAAM!!!

Brando thought that it was a good chance for him to practice both his durability and regeneration, "Just attack me. I won't fight back. I want to train my durability and regeneration." He crossed legs while sitting down and waiting for their attack.

Ryukyu saw Brando didn't move after he received her headbutt. She knew that he was alright after being hit by a truck but it still amazed her to see it with her own eyes.

"Then, I'll increase the output slowly," Nejire started to gather her energy again, "Full Charge. Output: 40." She shot another similar attack, "Wring Wave!"

DOOON!!!

Brando sat down trying to resist her attack but the ground surrounding him started to crack and chip because of the impact of her attack. He understands why this girl could become one of the three strongest students in U.A. high school, 'Just the raw power of her attack can defeat anyone in an instant. Though, the problem is very obvious too.' He could dodge her attack but he didn't do that since he didn't do that kind of training.

Nejire was obviously quite surprised: "Then, I'll increase my output more. Don't get hurt, alright?"

"Yes," Brando nodded.

DOOOONN!!!

Ryukyu who was by their side wasn't sure but she felt ignored now. She felt quite sad since she didn't have a boyfriend. She looked at him and gave him another headbutt.

BAAAM!!!

Brando realized that this training might be useful when he was stabbed by someone in the future, 'I am not Makoto Itou!' He wasn't sure why he shouted that sentence inwardly but he decided to ignore it and continued his training.
