So there they stood. The second Year Sports captain Kirk Bluster and the first year no assigned major role yet, Isaac Levin! But why did they stand together? And where were they standing? Well to answer that question we but go back to their first meeting which happened earlier that day!
It was a bright, warm and sunny evening in U.A. Much different than Autumns in Ireland which was a pleasant change to young Isaac who was putting the last of his school books into his locker. It was the end of a long school day of learning and conversing like any other and much like every other day the boy did some training. Although he usually skipped out on the activity and opted to cruise around town he felt himself falling a tad behind his other classmates in certain regards so it was in the boy's best interest to catch up! As a result the blue haired boy was kitted out in his sports gear ready to head out to do some training. Isaac felt a little weird to be so prepared to do some training for a change but he quickly got over the feeling when he saw how damn good he looked in it! If he didn't know any better he was getting quite a few admiring looks too! But of all the lookers only one person actually came up to him and that person was the aforementioned Kirk Bluster.
The young man radiated muscly bro energy, something Isaac was well used to seeing but there was something else that sort of threw him off Kirk's approach, something he couldn't quite put his finger on.
"Yeah? What's up?" he asked his senpai not really knowing who he was yet or what he wanted. That being said seeing him also wearing the full U.A. sports gear gave him an inkling into what he was getting at.
"Hey man? Where are you heading in your gear?" he asked curiously more worried about how his clothes would fair in whatever he was doing more so than what in question he was actually doing.
"I'm going to do some rock climbing for training." he replied a sounding purposefully cautious. Hopefully he'd take the hint. But he didn't! And instead looked really interested in what Isaac said.
"Aww DUDE! Got a spot for one more?" and just like that Kirk invited himself. Normally Isaac would have just said no but admittedly he could use the company and someone to help set a pace. Although really he just couldn't say no to such an excited looking face like Kirk's.
So off the two bros went to the shopping district of all places for this climbing wall. This had been a new leisure activity center that had opened just on the outskirts of the busy city. Because of it's newness it was relatively quiet and it wasn't too hard to book a session right then and there. Isaac found this out the last time he came here with one of his senpai, although that time because of an attendant forgetting to check their harness they almost fell to their doom. Luckily Isaac was there to make it a sticky situation and help them with his glue but all the same it was a pretty big mishap to have happened. So why did he come back? Not it wasn't because he was hoping Kirk would fall in a similar manner. It was actually because whenever Isaac showed his face the manager shit his pants thinking he was here to slap them with a court order or something so he always made sure to be extra nice to the irishlad. So much so that he got a discount for both him and Kirk! Stonks
And so here they are, the two students getting strapped into their harnesses! Isaac assumed it'd just be a regular kind of taining but he had no idea what Kirk had in store for him! If anything at all.

For Kirk, there were quite a few things important in his life. Two of them were a little bit more often in spotlight, than others: His love of sports, and his friendship with his bros. Of course, having them both together was one of the most fun things he could possibly have. Usually, time for that came after school, once he could hang out at the sports club. But sometimes, Kirk just felt like trying something new. Either that or his curiosity was raised, when he saw something he hadn't seen before. It had happened before with some previous classmates like Mira, and Mari... He still thought their names a hilarious coincidence.
But this time, the target was a guy. Not exactly someone he didn't know though. He had seen him plenty in U.A chat, and the blue hair were very hard to miss after all! But in this case, it was the gear on him. It was not the sort of stuff he usually saw being used for sports, but it did seem like something lax which allowed him to move a lot! So, naturally, Kirk felt the humongous need to ask what he was going to do! And the answer was luckily simple. Rock climbing! I mean, it just involved rocks and climbing! that couldn't have been like Yoga, where you had to learn all these different poses and names... so, of course, he joined him without that much bigger hassle!
Finding out that there was a big new activity center was an awkward surprise for Kirk. He spent a lot of his time jogging in town usually doing his grandpas shopping, and still he hadn't really taken a notice of it! However, that just made it even more exciting to enter it! He waved his head about, just looking at all the things that it held! Honestly, if he didn't have the club at school already, this would probably be his favourite hangout spot! However, when they got to the receptionist, she seemingly had a bit of a reaction to the duo. "What, has she not seen a duo of hero students around before?" He scratched his head with his genuine question... Although what they got was apparently a discount to using the place! "Ooooh, I get it, one of em 'bring a friend along' sales!" Who knows, maybe the lady was an accountant too?
With the wall right in front of them, and all the gear strapped onto him (Not exactly the most comfortable, but hey if the sport required it...), Kirk was pretty much ready for what was coming. Now just stretching his fingers, and looking up the wall. "Now, I assume you've been doing this for a while?" Kirk gave a glance towards Isaac. "Don't worry bout me though! You wouldn't believe how quickly I climbed walls back in Semper Fi! This shouldn't be that much harder!" Admittedly, back then the walls were made out of logs... and it had been a full year since then, and he didn't really need to climb that much othervise. But hey, Kirk was running on his usual bluster! "Contest on who reaches the top first without a quirk, hehe?!"
With that, He immediately proceeded to run to the wall, and grip the closest rocks to him, simply pulling himself up, and replacing his palm with his feet as he went along. For now, it seemed easy, but the explanation for that was simple... He was near the bottom. the rocks were close together, and it was not even an effort to reach them with Kirks body size, and muscle.

Isaac couldn’t help but smirk at Kirk’s questions. The trouble wasn’t that she had not seen any hero students come here before but the opposite. One day him and Rowan decided to go to the rock climbing as a friendly activity and minor training when tragedy struck causing Rowan’s harness to break. Although at the time Rowan hadn’t done anything about it she did utter a threat to the manager that her big important father would be hearing about the incident. Isaac just happened to be there at the time so he too was associated with being the friend of the girl whose father may or may not sue them! So as if to indirectly persuade him to keep Rowan from blabbing they offered Isaac some discounts! Isaac would have said that he wasn’t here on behalf of Rowan but it’s not like they ever asked! Besides he had kept his deal with the manager the first time he met them! Here was Kirk, a friend from school who didn’t know about the place and who would probably tell his other friends! So by right Isaac thought he should be getting a discount!
”Yeah, something like that.” he replied to kirk with a smirk as the two were then strapped into the harness. ”It’s a little tight.” he joked to the attendant who seemed anything but amused at the comment and pulled hard on the strap making the harness that much tighter on Isaac. Well it’s not like he needed it much since his glue was sturdy enough to hold him to the wall but he couldn’t go against precautions or the rules. Oh speaking of! ”Oh yeah! They forgot to mention but we’re allowed to use out quirks here so long as we don’t mess with any of the equipment. Or just make too big of a mess in general.” he explained to Kirk as he stood closer to the wall. ”I wouldn’t say a while but I’ve done this kinda thing before.” he answered rubbing his hands together as red markings began to crawl up his arms, easily visible from the white training top he was wearing. Isaac soon realised that the question was more of a gateway to Kirk being able to brag about how quickly he scaled a wall in some other place. Isaac just smirked and rolled his eyes as Kirk then issued a challenge to him, except that they couldn’t use their quirks?! ”Wait what?” he looked over to Kirk who was already on the wall and starting to scale it with a pep in his… well not step, climb? Pep in his climb? Sure! Regardless Isaac did the same and started to climb. ”Screw you ya fuckin cunt! Fine you’re on! But we have to go to the very fuckin top! And if you fall at all you’re disqualified!” He shouted not looking at Kirk at all and set his sights for the top of the massive outdoor climbing wall. The beginning of the climb was easy since all the rocks were close but as they scaled it they started to become further spread apart. Usually Isaac would just ignore this and use his quirk to stick to the wall but the challenged issued by his senpai totally circumvented that! Even though there wasn’t any prize for winning Isaac didn’t want to lose and had to hope his minor experience with this climbing wall would give him the edge he needed!

Now admittedly, the reason Kirk had asked for quirks not to be used, might have been a little bit confusing for someone like Isaac. After all he wasn't in the same class as him, and probably didn't know what Kirk's quirk was. Being a pouch on his back, the quirk probably wouldn't have been really useful in a situation like this, where jumping was kind of not an option. Secondly, the gear they had to wear to go climbing... was very tight on his back! If he dared to open his pouch any during the competition, he could end up just snapping it open, and then he would end up in a free fall! And that would have not ended up very well for his spine!
That and yeah, He might have directly assumed that Isaac had some quirk that worked very well for this! A little bit of cheating involving quirks was a pretty usual sight at the club after all! "Gotta keep things fair and balanced, you know?! Quirks make it significantly harder!" A very wide grin grew on his face. The case of him running ahead admittedly as he announced the competition, that he couldn't really excuse. None of that was fair play whatsoever! Kirk was just fired up to go and get started.
Hearing the curses behind him just showed however, that Kirk currently held the advantage! Always a good position to hold, even if dirtily gotten! And with the rocks so close to each other, Kirk was climbing up like a gibbon, his hands flowing from one natural grip to the next. One of those things where big hands came very handy! "You know, this IS kind of fun!" His big shoes for now didn't have any problems either, since they
However, eventually, he reached the intermediate position... and he slapped the wall accidentally. "Hm?" For a moment, he had to actually stop and look around. The rocks were starting to be very much more separate. The way up seemed to now be way more scattered, and he couldn't just keep on climbing randomly looking for rocks. "Uh... That one!" He still luckily had that reach of his with his arms, but he also noticed, that his feet were lagging behind a bit. He could barely reach the rock quite a bit under it, and even then, it was just a single rock! "Oooookay, where next, where next, uh...!?" Isaac could really notice how much trouble Kirk started having when it became more about choosing good direction to go...
There were a pair of rocks over the rock he had gripped with his hand, and there was a rock for his other arm to hold too... Gears in Kirks head almost made some noise, as he lifted his lower body up, pressing his feet against the wall... And then pulled himself with enough force, that he hopped, and got high enough to grip the two stones with his hands, proceeding to place his feet on the rocks now under him. "...Successs...!" Very minor one but hey, he had made it! Now where to next...

”If it only benefits you then how the hell is it fair!” he shouted up still mad that he couldn’t use his quirk to help himself climb that little bit faster. It was true though, Isaac had no idea what kind of quirk Kirk had. All he knew about the brute was that he was the sports club leader. Even though how one person could be over all the sports in the school was beyond him. He did kind of see why as then race went on though. He was really good at climbing for someone who apparently do much of it.
As the continued the climb the headstart Kirk had started with really started to show and grow bigger as they climbed higher. He even had the balls to announce how fun this was. The bastard! Isaac was way too used to using his quirk to give himself a better grip or to just ignore the long stretches he’d need to do in order to grab onto one of the multicoloured squidgy pieces of plastic to help him scale the wall. He actually needed to plan a route to go rather than just running up the wall and with him taking so long to do so the gap grew larger. So large in fact that Kirk decided to fuckin stop and look around! Of course he was just doing the same as Isaac, looking for the best places to grap onto to hoist himself up but in the moment Isaac just saw it as something totally different.
Maybe he won’t notice?
Red markings crawled up his arms and onto his hands as his palms were coated in a fine layer of glue. He slapped the wall sticking himself to it and pulled himself up to the next rock to put his foot onto. He did this a few times while he was behind to try and catch up to Kirk and within a few minutes he was back in the race! But that also meant he couldn’t use his quirk anymore since he was so close to his opponent. ”Careful man! If you think too hard you might hurt yourself!” he taunted as he moved forward, having planned out his best course up the wall while he was using his quirk to make things fair and balanced as Kirk did say. The race was truly on now! The end of the upwall battle was in sight but still quite a bit away. But how would they fair?

Maybe he had gone a bit too far ahead. Either that or Isaac was being a bit of a sore loser. Atleast that's what the shouts seemed to imply. Kirk had been target of both sorts of shouts before, but, since he was a sportsman, it usually meant he would hold back a little! But in this case, he had just been too excited, and he had expected Isaac to be ahead of the game somewhat! However, once he had to stop for a moment, Kirk inadvertently gave Isaac the chance to catch up, and outright pass by him! As he vaulted himself up to the rocks higher up and grabbed them, he could see Isaac climbing with milder issues...
"Huh!?" Of course, Isaac proceeded to insult his intelligence. That was the first thing many people decided to insult him with. Problem with being a musclehead! "Oh come on! I ain't that stupid!" Admittedly his defense about it could have been better too.
However, Kirk had learned one thing due to his efforts of trying multiple different sports: Copying, is the best way to learn something! Thus, he watched Isaac, and tried to catch a glimpse of what he was doing, to understand how he kept this new pace! He noticed that he was occasionally bravely just pressing his hand on the wall, instead of the rocks... And he actually was able to climb that way! "Oooh! I knew there was a trick to this! Let's try it!"
Okay, firstly, choose one of the rocks high up! LOCKED ON! Then, reach out for it! Grip got! Then, just proceed to place your other hand higher, and pull yourself with it u-
And with that Kirks fingers naturally slipped down the wall with all the weight he put on them! "AUGH!" He was hanging from the rock with one hand, and made the mistake of looking down... "Well, that's natural result at the pace we are going!" He scratched his head as he tried thinking again. "Okay, I learned my lesson! Don't try to do an advanced trick before you learn the BASICS!" Kirk shouted towards Isaac, in a mildly frustrated tone. But, getting angry wouldn't help... "Okay... let''s try another tactic!" Well, the same tactic that had worked previously, but a bit more carefully... With that, catapulting from one rock to the next made for a decent enough tactic, but it certainly was slower compared to what Isaac was doing.

”You’re right you aren’t that stupid.” he shouted back down as he reached his arm over to a rock that was just out of reach. ”You’re worse!” Hah! Got him!
With that incredibly smart provocation done Isaac quickly realized that he couldn’t simply move upwards anymore. The distance from each rock was way too far for him to reach. He could try jumping to it but that’d be even more dangerous! If he missed timed it or slipped or just didn’t catch the rock he was aiming for he’d fall and lose all that progress he cheated for! Besides even if he did manage to latch onto a groove with a jump he’d need to pull himself up and with the lad’s limited upper body strength that didn’t seem like the best idea. The blue haired lad began to panic slightly as he looked down to Kirk growing ever closer. ”Ahhh! What am I meant to do?! There’s no proper path up!” he said to himself as he frantically looked ahead of himself.
It was actually Kirk talking to himself that gave Isaac the pro gamer move he was about to pull next. Thankfully his senpai’s smarts had led him to believe that Isaac’s not so subtle cheating was just a fancy trick people used when climbing walls like this and while that may be true for some it definitely never crossed Isaac’s mind to try and pretend he was doing that. But a thought did cross his mind which may make things easier for him! Instead of racking and muscles trying to climb up the wall he was going to slowly move around it until he could start climbing up again! So off he went! Horizontally rather than vertically up the mountain!
Admittedly the progress felt slow but every couple of rocks Isaac was able to slightly elevate himself. At times he would need to go down a few paces to be able to climb up once again but at least he was making progress and keeping his lead! He wondered if Kirk would try copying him or just brute for his way up the wall. Regardless of that though Isaac knew he couldn’t afford to cheat any more. He had already saw him do it but passed it off as something else so trying again would be way too risky.
The tension was high between the two students. There was no prize for either at the type other than bragging rights but both wanted to win regardless! The clouds darkened as a cool autumn breeze began to pick up. This didn’t bode well...

The more kirk climbed, the more he started getting the hang of it. With that sort of bravery, came quicker movements, a little bit better reach, and overall quicker pace to get up! With the small taunts Isaac had thrown his way, the classic competitive spirit had started to kick in! the power of adaptation! He was starting to once again reach those original monkey like speeds! Now that it was fair game, Kirk was putting his all, reaching Isaac with moderate ease! From that onward, It was neck and neck, looking for the right steps, to hit the jackpot of victory up top! It got closer and closer AND CLOSER...!
"And THAT is why it's a good workout to do this without your quirk! You get me right?!" In the end, Kirk wasn't exactly sure who had won, and who didn't since after pushing himself, he had reached the top, but his grip had loosened, and he had ended up bouncing in the air for a little while. Now though, he was on the ground, sipping water from a bottle. "Trains whole different sort of muscles when you do that! Well, atleast for me... quirk being what it is." After all, his quirk was ALL muscle. But using it concentrated on just the back muscles. Rest of his body needed other things.
However, even if relaxing, Kirk was already glancing around the place, looking for the next target of interest. Although admittedly, his arms were feeling a bit sleepy after all that work out. "Though I do admit, Way better work out for biceps than any dumb-bell! And heck, the work out just gets better, the more you gain muscle!" He chuckled to himself a bit, as he flexed... and then scratched the bicep. Man, he was really feeling the burn.
"Any good place here for just laxing proper for a while?" Kirk was the sort to get a bit bored about just sitting in place, even whilst chillaxing. "Though admittedly, Arm days done, but not leg day..."
