Izuku growled and strained, slightly angry and annoyed as he tried moving the fridge….though it was rather hard as All Might was sitting on top of it and Kyoka was watching in slight amusement and confusion, wondering how this would help her boyfriend gain One For All.
"Hey hey hey! It's pretty comfy on top of this fridge here!" All Might said with a smirk before Izuku yelped as he fell over on his face after the ropes he was using slipped out of his hands.
"You know, it would be a little easier if there wasn't a 580 lb man on top of something I'm trying to move!" Izuku growled out annoyed at his new mentor.
"Nah, I've lost weight, so I'm down to 560 these days!" Both Kyoka and Izuku gave unimpressed looks at his slight dad joke, Izuku hearing his fair share from Kyoka's father when he'd go over for dinner or just to help her study for some of her tests. "Besides, you're not ready for my quirk yet." He held up his hand to stop Izuku from yelling at him. "Now before you say anything, there's a reason why I say that. Your body needs to be in top physical condition or else your body would explode from the pure power that comes with One For All. It stockpiles power and quirks from the previous users, so you need to train more before taking it. Trust me, I went through the same thing to get it from my predecessor. Though it was more physical training to fight rather than what I have you doing now." All Might explained why he's having Izuku do this.
"But why am I cleaning this beach?" Izuku asked as he rubbed his arm a little while Kyoka handed him a water bottle.
"I did some research and found that this beach used to be a beautiful place. But people have been using it as their personal dumpster. But being a hero also means doing things for sake of doing good and not expecting anything in return. You must not stray from this origin Young Midoriya." All Might said.
"I do remember hearing that people used to do good deeds without a request of a reward…I do see that from time to time as well…I've even helped a few people out with things they've needed. So I say I'm good on remembering that. But I also don't remember this place being a beautiful beach…but a lot of the tides have brought this stuff onto the beach or even taken it out to sea where animals have probably died from it. So it's a good thing that you're having me do this." Izuku said, nearly going into a mumbling phase before Kyoka interrupted.
"Also gives me a good view of your muscles if you do it shirtless at some point." She said smirking causing Midoriya to blush in slightly embarrassment. "Also, Izuku is muscular, just not like Bakugo or a few of my male friends that I know. He's in a good shape, but I guess he does need to be in better shape for your quirk then?" She questioned All Might.
"Correct, young Jiro. He needs to get a bit more fit for it though. But you will be cleaning this whole section of the beach for the next ten months of your training as the entrance exam for UA will be then. I will even help you learn how to fight in that time with your music quirk." All Might said as he looked around at the trash. "You will clear this section of the beach to get it clean. If you want to get into U.A. then you'll have to follow this plan that I've made. It's my 'Aim To Pass: American Dream' plan." He said as he handed Deku the paper, who took it and looked at it confused.
"Whoa…you even put time in for me to practice my songs." Izuku said as he looked at it.
"Yes, and do not even think about adjusting this or overworking yourself. You may have gotten your quirk late and see yourself as behind everyone who's had a quirk their whole lives, but overworking yourself will have the opposite effect of what we want. And if you try it, I give Jiro permission to kick you or do any form of punishment she see's fit to deal to you." Kyoka just snorted in amusement when she heard that and saw Izuku give a small gulp at the thought of his girlfriend hurting him. "But if I'm honest, this going to be super hard. Think you're up to it?" All Might asked.
Izuku looked at the paper before looking up determined and nodded his head. "I am. I will do whatever it takes."
"That's what I wanted to hear fanboy! Lets get started."
And just like this, my ten months of hell begins. Midoriya thinks to himself as he started to clean the beach.
Frustrated, degraded, down before you're done
Rejection, depression, can't get what you want
You ask me how I make my way
You ask me everywhere and why
You hang on every word I say
But the truth sounds like a lie
As the song went on, Midoriya was moving certain things to work out his arms and legs, along with his abdominals and other certain things that would be needed.
Live to win, 'till you die, 'till the light dies in your eyes
Live to win, take it all, just keep fighting till you fall
Then he was sparring with All Might and learning how to fight with his quirk, every now and then hitting the larger man with his guitar, which luckily didn't do damage to the guitar as it would just repair it's self if any damage was sustained. Damage to All Might on the other hand….it wasn't much but he'd look annoyed at getting hit with an instrument and rubbed his head.
Obsessive, compulsive, suffocate your mind
Confusion, delusions, kill your dreams in time
You ask me how I took the pain
Crawled up for my lowest low
Step by step and day by day
'Till there's one last breath to go
Midoriya continued moving the garbage and even went swimming a few times to get his endurance and cardio up with All Might and Jiro watching, before All Might was distracted by a few fangirls while Jiro and Izuku would give him deadpan looks of annoyance.
Live to win, 'till you die, 'till the light dies in your eyes
Live to win, take it all, just keep fighting till you fall
He did try adjusting the schedule in secret as he was getting tired and could hardly stay awake at school, looking practically like a zombie sometimes, but he was shocked by Kyoka with her quirk when she found out. This resulted in him running away from a furious girlfriend while All Might just watched on in amusement.
Day by day, kickin' all the way, I'm not cavin' in
Let another round begin, live to win
Yeah, live, yeah, win
Izuku was then showing practicing his guitar at the beach with Kyoka watching while it showed a few images of them cuddling up together under the stars as he was singing a bit of a love song that had Kyoka blushing in slight embarrassment while All Might was further away, watching with a smile at the young love.
Live to win, 'till you die, 'till the light dies in your eyes
Live to win, take it all, just keep fighting till you fall
Day by day, kickin' all the way, I'm not cavin' in
Let another round begin, live to win
Live to win
Live to win
Yeah, live, yeah, win
All Might was coming up to the beach one day when he suddenly heard is successor yell in triumph. He looked out at the beach confused, wondering why Izuku was yelling like that before he saw that the whole beach was cleaned up. Kyoka was running up in concern before stopping when she saw that the beach completely cleaned up.
"What the…he even cleaned outside the area I told him to…holy…stinking….SUPER CRAP!" All Might said as he transformed into his hero form. He quickly caught Izuku as he was obviously tired and fell off the pile of garbage he had been screaming from.
"All Might…I did it. Am I worry of One For All now?" Izuku looked up at him tiredly, but hopeful.
"Yeah…yeah you did it kid. You're worthy no matter what you do." All Might said proudly.
"I feel like I'm cheating…I had help from you and Kyoka, but it still feels like I didn't earn it." Izuku said with some tears falling.
"Don't you even go there. You earned this all on your own. I'm so proud of you." Kyoka said with a smile on her face, proud of her boyfriend.
"She's right, young Midoriya. You earned this and you deserve it. Now….you have to ingest some of my DNA to get my quirk." All Might said as he pulled a piece of hair off his head. "So…I'm sorry to say but…eat this." He said holding out the hair to Izuku. Both Izuku and Kyoka looked disgusted. "Look, I had to do the same with my mentor as well…blood would be a bit harder and I'm fairly certain you wouldn't want to chew a toe nail at all. So…hair is the best way to go for this." Izuku took the hair and looked at it with a grimace on his face while Kyoka just looked disgusted that he was actually going to do it.
"Through the lips, past the gums, look out stomach, here it comes." Izuku said as he ate the hair, nearly throwing up as he did. After a few minutes he looked confused. "I don't feel any different."
"Of course not! What do you think a stomach does? It has to digest the hair and in about three hours you'll have One For All. Now…we have about….3 months until the entrance exam, so for those three months, we'll be training you how to use it." Three hours later, Midoriya had felt the power surge in him and asked All Might about it. "Ah, that means the power from my hair has finally fused with your DNA. Though you need to feel it. Kinda of like….Goku when he needs to power up into Super Saiyan or Vegeta when he does the same. Or whenever any of them power up and basically charge up their power. That's what I do anyway. You'll know it when you've feel it all over your body instead of in one spot. You may break your bones every now and then, as you can only use 5% or 100%. You're basically a glass with cracks in it that has any liquid overflowing. But once you control it, there will be no cracks and you'll have perfect control over it. Now, try powering up." All Might explained to Midoriya while Kyoka was watching him just in case he ended up doing something stupid. All Might had texted Recovery Girl to come just in case anything bad happened, so she was over sitting on the stairs, watching the young man carefully. Midoriya frowned as he crouched down and started to power up, growling and letting out of small yells as well. As he did, he felt the power on him, and he smirked as he stood up as the green lightning around him sparked around him every now and then. After a few seconds he let the power fade and panted a bit, stumbling slightly as Kyoka caught him and he smiled up at her tiredly, while she just smirked at him.
"Now that was good, young Midoriya. You just need to learn to hold it. We'll work on that for a week or so, but after that, you'll learn to fight with One For All. For now, go and rest. We'll meet tomorrow." All Might told him as Izuku nodded and got up tiredly before Kyoka put her arm around him as they all left the beach.
