Hi…
So , I was almost too happy after seeing that my story got 43 VIEWS in just 2 hours of publishing and felt like I should write the chapter 2 as well :D (I was free anyways)
So Izuku starts training with Tanjiro, Tanjiro meets Inko ,and other stuff
Enjoy!
CHAPTER 2 TRAINING MONTAGE!
The next morning Izuku woke up to his newly set alarm at 4 A.M. Last night he already explained his mom why he came around 11 P.M. he definitely didn't lose the track of time yesterday . He told her about Tanjiro-san and that he would be training him from now on. She seemed reluctant at first but agreed to it IF ONLY Izuku promised to invite him home today.
Izuku jogged his way to Dagobah Beach and REALLY didn't expect it to be a dump.
"Why would I be training here?"
His train of thought was brought to a crash when he spotted his new teacher/sensei/mentor.
"Good morning Sensei!"
"Good morning Izuku, just Tanjiro is fine." his mentor's voice was like an angel, it was just so soothing.
Flustered, Izuku said "H-Hai Tanjiro-san, um why are we here. I mean isn't this a dump?"
"Don't worry Izuku. Look community service is also a duty of a hero and restoring this beach will also bring you to peace. Plus while cleaning the beach you'll also develop muscles!"
"W-wait so we're gonna clean the whole beach?"
"Not we, just you" It was just for a second but Izuku swears he saw his mentor's smile turn into a smirk.
"Anyways, so as I was saying you'll be building muscles but not only that you will be learning a breathing form!"
"A breathing form?" Izuku asks while titling his head.
"Ah you see centuries ago when quirks weren't a thing, people used to enhance their physical abilities by different sorts of breathing styles. What I'll be teaching you is the water breathing style, something I learned from my mentor, Sakonji Urokodaki-san."
"I-I see" Izuku hesitates, but asks anyway "but why would they need these breathing styles for? It's not like there were quirked villains or monsters or something.."
"Well, that information and history will be your reward if you.. hmmm.. let's say manage to clean the whole beach in 6 months!"
"Ah six months I see that's eas- WAAAIT WHAT, CLEAN THIS BEACH IN 6 MONTHS !THAT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO DO EVEN IT IS THE TWO OF US" Izuku continued to mumble for some time.
"Okay Izuku, now I know you are a very good observer, so observe my breathing for some time and try to imitate it."
"R-Right" Izuku answers while watching Tanjiro breath. He tries to imitate it and he feels a funny thing in his chest, like its growing much bigger. Maybe he failed to imitate it, maybe he wasn't meant out for this, maybe..he should listen to his advice-
"Oh man this is a surprise. I haven't heard of anyone who got it right the first time." Tanjiro exclaims "Well that just makes it easier" he clapped his hands.
"What.. did-did I get it right? Am I actually accomplishing something? Is Tanjiro-san happy with me?"
"Well that's certainly impressive, now you have to maintain that breathing while picking up the trash and loading it in the van."
"Well that sounds easy enough"
…
"IT WASN'T EASY, IT WAS HELL"
Izuku POV
Turns out maintaining a new breathing pattern while lifting isn't that easy . ALSO it turns out that Tanjiro-san is pretty strict. He points out when I stop the Total Concentration Breathing and gives me penalties. For every five penalties I have to perform 50 push-ups. Not a lot but considering how many penalties I received in 1 hour I'm sure I did around 400.
I was Totally Exhausted, good thing today was Saturday , or I would've totally skipped school.
No-one's POV(Or third person POV? Idk)
Izuku was sitting on the stairs to the beach with Tanjiro, drinking water. It seems that Tanjiro was not only supervising his training but also coming up with a diet plan and a training plan for Izuku.
"Izuku, the U.A Entrance Exams are after 10 months right?" Izuku nods while devouring an energy bar.
"Great, then this plan should be perfect." Tanjiro said binding the papers and handing it to Izuku.
Izuku takes the folder in his hands. "Thank you Tanjiro-san for doing so much for me! I mean, nobody hasn't really done anything good for me, except for my mom and you "
Tanjiro smiles and pats his head "it's okay kid, you have a kind heart, you deserve to be happy" Izuku blushed at the comment. He looks at the man who was an angel yet gave him such a hellish training.
"AH, I forgot to mention. Tanjiro-san my mother invited you to dinner. She wanted to see who was training me although I tried to explain her how generous you are"
"It's no problem Izuku, every parent cares for their children, it's only natural" he responds after getting reminded of his parent and family.
The Midoriya Household.. 6 p.m.
Inko Midoriya was preparing dinner while Izuku was resting on the couch, occasionally helping his mother. Then, the doorbell rang.
"Oh it must be Tanjiro-san. Izuku dear can you open the door please?"Inko asks her son while preparing Katsudon.
"Ah sure mom" Izuku opens the door revealing Tanjiro in a..suit? Oh well.
"G-good evening Tanjiro-san"
"Good evening Izuku"
Inko steps out of the kitchen and takes a look at the handsome man who just came in. "Oh, you must be Tanjiro-san. Izuku told me about you, thank you for taking care of him" she bows to him.
"Ah no need to bow ma'am, it's my duty as an adult and Izuku's mentor to take care of him. And you're just as sweet as Izuku described you to be" Inko blushed at the last comment.
"Just call me Inko "shae stated bluntly.
"Anyways, please come in. Would you like to see Izuku's room?" Inko asked.
"M-mom.." Izuku said while hiding his blush.
"Sure but I already have an idea of what it's going to look like"
And it was just like what he had expected.
After many conversations and dinner..
"Ah the katsudon was so delicious Inko-san" suddenly Inko looked as if she lost all her weight at once,
"It was just like my mom's cooking, thank you for the treat" aannnd she's back to normal. Izuku wondered what just happened.
"Oh I was wondering when I'll meet Mr. Midoriya." Tanjiro asked.
"A-actually Dad's working overseas. We don't get to see him but he still sends us money" Izuku answered.
"Ah, I see. Anyways I shall be on my way home now Inko-san. Thank you for the dinner."Tanjiro bows, and leaves.
…
"JUST LIKE THAT?"
The next morning
Izuku arrives at the beach right at 4 A.M.
"Ah Izuku, I'm sorry for yesterday. I was reminded of my past" Tanjiro chuckles while apologizing.
"I-it's ok Tanjiro-san." Izuku notices the glint of sadness in his eyes. "A-ano Tanjiro-san, if you d-don't mind me asking, what h-happened in your past?"
Tanjiro thinks for a while, then says "I'll tell you if you manage to accomplish your task in hand."
"Fair enough, looks like I gotta work even more hard to help Tanjiro-san."Izuku takes a note in his head.
"Anyways, let's start today's session!"
"Hai Tanjiro-san!"
AND SO THE MONTHS PASSED BY. AS THE DAYS WENT BY, THE PENALTIES BECAME MORE RIGOROUS, TANJIRO BEGAN GIVING HIM LESSONS FOR HAND TO HAND COMBAT AND THEY SPARRED. OF COURSE TANJIRO WON EVERYTIME, HE WAS JUST TOO GOOD, THE TRAINING BECAME HARDER AND THE BEACH BECAME CLEANER. SOMEHOW ALL THAT TRAINING DIDN'T EVEN INTERFERE WITH HIS EDUCATION. IZUKU KNEW HE HAD TO WORK 10 TIMES HARDER THAN ANYONE ELSE AND SO HE GAVE EXTRA EFFORT. HE GAINED MUSCLES, BECAME MORE AGILE, HIS INSTINCTS SHARPENED AND HIS OBSERVATION SKILLS ENHANCED. 5 MONTHS PASSED BY.
Tanjiro POV
Five months had passed by since I started training Izuku. The boy had talent, this was an understatement. He was a prodigy. What took me around and year to master, my pupil mastered in just 5 months . I'm sure that Izuku could gain Hashira-Like-Skills in just a year.
As I walked towards the beach thinking about my student, I did not expect to see this. Izuku standing on top of the stairs, shouting . The beach had been cleaned. I knew that the boy continued to come and train at night, I could smell his traces. But I kept quite. Izuku had once again exceeded my expectations.
Third-person POV
The waves of the blue sea roared with the shining sand of the beach as Izuku stood on top of the stairs, shouting at the top of his lungs. Dagobah Beach had been restored. He had completed his task. He was happy, after accomplishing something.
He began to fall due to exhaustion
"Well crap"
…
He was caught in a pair of gentle arms, Tanjiro-san.
"Yes, yes it's me . God you overworked yourself Izuku."
Izuku smiles in his arms."I ..accomplished the task..my reward…"
"Have become a little pesky, hmm?" Tanjiro teases Izuku who's red as a tomato.
"Anyways, I'll take you to my place. That's where your training phase two is going to be. I'll tell you about the history after you've rested enough. I'll notify Inko-san too."
Izuku brightened up hearing that.
"AND HE'S ALSO GOING TO SEE HIS MENTOR'S HOUSE! UP UNTIL NOW , HE WAS SURE THAT TANJIRO-SAN WAS HOMELESS, but he didn't ask him because it would be rude."
"You do know that you were saying that aloud right?"Tanjiro asked.
…
So that will be it.
Ahh i was so happy to see that so many people viewed my fic AND EVEN FAVOURATED IT.
Thank you all :D
