Hey guys! I'm sorry it's been a literal eternity, but I haven't had a chance to write a full chapter for a long time. I have the app now though, so I hope I can write a lot more now. Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Izuku spent the rest of the night trying to sleep, but he had no luck. The next morning Izuku ate breakfast, and went straight to his training, purposely avoiding Ochaco and Tsuyu. Once he got to training he was able to forget his dreams for a while. He had better luck than his last training session, and was able to actually strike Aizawa a few times. Aizawa praised him on his progress, and showed Izuku how to perform a parry. "When I attack you, you have to angle your blade so that once mine hits, it will be deflected down to where I can't use it." Aizawa said. Izuku nodded, and got into his fighting stance. Aizawa lunged at him, slower than he did the first day, and struck out at Izuku. Izuku held his sword at a downward angle, and deflected Aizawa's sword. Before Izuku knew what was happening he body-rolled around Aizawa, and struck him in the back. Aizawa whipped around ready to deflect another attack, but relaxed once he saw Izuku do the same. "How did you counterattack like that?" Aizawa asked. "I saw Todoroki do it earlier, but I wasn't planning on trying it. It just happened." "Well, in any case, good job. If you keep it up we'll be able to practice for real in no time." Aizawa said. Izuku grinned and continued to practice.
Ochaco was walking around the castle looking for something to do, when she bumped into Tsuyu. "Oh, sorry Tsu. I didn't see you there." Ochaco said. "It's no problem." Tsuyu said. "Actually, I could use your help." "What do you need?" Ochaco asked, relieved to have something to do. "I need you to help me set something up." Tsuyu said, with a grin. "Sure, I guess." Ochaco said, a little confused. Tsuyu started walking away without a word. Ochaco hurried after Tsu wondering what she had just gotten herself into. Tsuyu walked into the dining hall, and walked straight past the table. Ochaco's confusion grew as Tsuyu walked through the door to the kitchen. "Are you ready?" Tsuyu asked with a grin.
BACK AT THE MIDORIYA FARM
Overhaul sat outside the cottage that the dragon-boy's family supposedly lived in. He had yet to see any sign of living there, but the villagers nearby had verified his information. Overhaul decided that he had done enough waiting, and decided to go ask the villagers where the boy was. He found a few villagers to talk to, but they didn't know anything about the boy's location. After asking around for another hour or two Overhaul found some useful information. He had found out that the boy had been taken to Castle Igneous, and his mother was on her way there. "Shigaraki, can you hear me?" Overhaul tried to tap into the psychic connection skill that one of Shigaraki's underlings possessed. "What do you want?" Came the response. "I've located the child." Overhaul thought. "Good, now bring him to me." Shigaraki commanded. "He's not in the village." Overhaul explained. "What!? Then where is he?" Shigaraki exploded. Even though their conversation was purely mental, Overhaul could hear Shigaraki screaming, and throwing a tantrum. "He's in castle Igneous." Overhaul answered. "Why is the kid in Castle Igneous?!" Shigaraki asked, clearly annoyed. "This will make it almost impossible to get him now!" "If I can come back to the hideout for a day or two, I know how we can get him." Overhaul said, trying to calm Shigaraki down. "I'll get a warp gate for you, and your plan better succeed." Shigaraki answered back. "My plan is foolproof." Overhaul thought, grinning to himself.
BACK AT CASTLE IGNEOUS
Izuku's muscles felt like they were on fire. He had been training all day, and he was even more tired than the previous day. "All right, you can be done for today." Aizawl said. Izuku has manged to almost match Aizawa in a mock fight, but he slipped up, and Aizawa had him beat in a matter of seconds. "Okay," Izuku said wiping the sweat off of his forehead "same time tomorrow?" He asked. "No, tommorow is gonna be a rest day for you. I don't want you burning out in the first week." Aizawa said, putting down his wooden sword. "Burn out?" izuku said, cocking his head to the side questioningly. "Your muscles need time to heal, and get stronger after working as hard as they have, if you don't give them the rest they need you'll permanently damage them." Aizawa explained. Izuku's eyes widened, and he nodded in understanding. "The day after that then?" Izuku asked, getting ready to leave. Aizawa nodded without a word. Izuku left his sword in the armory, and went back to bathe before dinner.
Izuku walked back through the castle, massaging his arms. He felt like he would collapse on the floor at any moment. He knew the way back to his room by memory, and wasn't really thinking about where he was going. An image of a little girl running through one of the castle's halls flashed through Izuku's mind. Izuku he had seen the girl before, but right before he could place where he had seen her before, the image faded. Izuku walked the rest of the way trying to think of who that girl was. Izuku made it back to his room without much trouble, and got ready to clean himself up. Izuku cleaned himself up as fast as he could because he was almost late for dinner. He put on a fresh pair of clothes, and made his way to the dining room. When he walked in everyone was already there, but the food hadn't been served. He took his place by Tsuyu and Ochaco, and got ready to eat. Izuku noticed that Tsuyu and Ochaco kept grinning at each other and him. He felt like there was something that he was missing out on. The servants came out with the food, and began setting it in front of everyone. Izuku thought he recognized the smell of whatever they were serving, but when his plate was pot in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes.
