Chapter 5: Bizarre! Gran Torino Appears
An old building that shouldn't really have a living person… living there, could be seen with an small tiny, old man getting up.
He was wearing a costume that consisted of a full body, monochrome suit along with a yellow cape, a belt with the letter "G" on it, he was also wearing very thick yellow gloves and boots, and a dark domino mask which resembles two diamonds shapes.
The man yawned after waking up, he grabbed his cane and headed downstairs to get some breakfast. That is until he noticed a letter at his door, just sitting there, "I'm sure I picked up the mail from yesterday." the man said picking up the letter and bringing it to the kitchen.
He said it down and got out his taiyaki and put into the microwave, he then went over to the letter and opened it. It only took him a couple of seconds to read it, before he realized it was All Might, after he finished reading, he set down the letter and thought hard about what he wanted.
He heard the microwave and he opened the microwave at a fast pace and sat down immediately with his taiyaki. "So Toshinori finally found a successor." he said to himself as he ate his breakfast.
…
Two weeks passed and now it was June, Midoriya had continued his training with All Might, he still trained using One For All against him, only to no avail as he could never get control over it.
Uraraka explained to Midoriya that she was only able to come to the beach on the weekends, and so on the weekends, because of how far she lived and she apparently couldn't afford by bullet train, they trained and learned more about each other at the days went by.
Iida told Midoriya that he was available pretty much everyday, because he could easily run their anytime, except when he was busy, which was about 3-4 days of the week.
Of course he kept in touch with his teacher and two his new friends, right now Midoriya was training with All Might while he was in his true form. Midoriya was carrying a tire to the truck to drop off, when he got back he saw All Might was on his phone with a face that looked like he pissed himself.
Midoriya had quizzical face and lightly laughed, "What's wrong All Might? You get a date or something?" Midoriya joked around with his teacher. However All Might was in his own little world as he began to shake tremendously, so much that his phone fell out of his hand and into the sand.
"Hey, are you actually alright?"he asked beginning to get worried for the number one hero, All Might started muttering to himself. "I never thought he would actually reply, I mean I knew he would be interested, but this soon is so surprising. Does he really think my teaching is that adequate to where he think he has to take over." He then began to hit his legs to calm himself down.
"Stop it legs! Calm down! I-I-I g-g-guess-s-s-s I should t-t-t-tell young Midori-i-i-i-i-ya" he stuttered so much that it took Midoriya a couple of seconds to process exactly what he said. 'What has All Might so afraid?!' Midoriya thought to himself amazed at the fact that something could be this scary to the number on herp.
Midoriya picked up the phone and looked at the screen, while All Might was just huddled in the feeble position still muttering to himself.
On All Might's phone, it seemed that he received a voicemail from someone, Midoriya listened to it. "I want to see this successor of yours Toshinori, bring him to me today." the man definitely sounded old.
He looked at who the contact was and it read "Gran Torino" Midoriya was puzzled to who this was. He turned towards All Might to see he was on his knees and praying while still muttering something only he could understand.
Midoriya deadpanned and slowly stood behind the bowing number one hero and lightly tapped his shoulder only for All Might have probably the most high pitched scream Midoriya's ever heard.
"I'M SORRY SIR! I PROMISE I'LL DO BETTER, PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" All Might screamed for his life until he felt a swift slap to the face by his successor.
All Might held his cheek while Midoriya just looked at his inspiration with disappointment, "I'm sorry, I, uh, had a little nervous breakdown." he then stood up while Midoriya thought, 'I wouldn't call that a little nervous breakdown.' All Might just kept pacing back and forth.
"Anyway, All Might, who is this Gran Torino and why were you literally about to piss yourself." All Might stopped suddenly and looked down. He brought his head up and looked at Midoriya.
"He's a retired hero now, but he was a teacher at UA for one year, and he was my homeroom teacher. He was also a sworn friend of my predecessor, so he knows about One For All" All Might said. Midoriya was shocked that All Might, the symbol of peace and number one hero, was afraid of his old teacher, and clearly this "Gran Torino" was not exactly as young as he used to be.
"So… are we going to meet him?" Midoriya said hesitantly because of how afraid All Might was of his former homeroom teacher. All Might then kneeled in front of Midoriya and grabbed his shirt and looked him in the eyes looking desperate.
"D-do we have to?" All Might asked almost about to cry, Midoriya sweat dropped, "YOUR MY TEACHER! YOU SHOULD KNOW!" he yelled.
All Might stood up and looked at the ocean, "Yes, we should go! It's for the best of your training and being able to control One For All." he turned into his muscle form and grabbed Midoriya. "We'll get there f-faster if I take you there." he then ran and jumped up flying towards Gran Torino's living quarters.
It all happened so fast that Midoriya didn't have anytime to respond or give a word in before he was going over 50 mph through the sky.
…
When All Might said he was his former homeroom teacher, a sworn friend of his predecessor, and someone that could make him almost cry. Midoriya thought he wouldn't be living inside a beat-up, old building, with a crooked welcome sign that looked like hadn't been fixed in decades. Midoriya faced towards All Might who was back in his true form, "Are you sure this is the right address?" he asked.
All Might nodded, "I wish I was wrong, but no, this is where he lives, s-s-s-so let's-s-s-s-s go inside." he trembled at each step he took towards the door. Midoriya sighed and went ahead of All Might.
It took about a minute before All Might climbed up the stairs, Midoriya had time to check on phone and text both Uraraka and Iida, after they asked if he was free later.
Midoriya put his phone back and knocked on the door, and while Midoriya was staring at the door for a response, he instinctively grabbed behind him to grab onto All Might was trying to run away.
Midoriya decided to just open the door after a minute of waiting, and threw All Might into the building. Midoriya walked in and closed the door behind him, "Hello, Gran Torino! It's us Midoriya and All Might." All Might got up and decided that he should treat himself with some respect and face his fear.
He got up and looked forward and the sight he saw legitimately scared him so much that his high pitch broke some of the already broken windows from the buildings. "AHHH, HE'S DEAD!" All Might screamed as he looked at at a small, old man laying face down on the ground with blood surrounding him.
"I'm alive." the old man brought his head up to say innocently, "AHHH, HE'S ALIVE!" All Might yelled then sighed in relief. Midoriya on the other hand was just face palming while watching the whole situation play out before him.
"Man, to slip and fall while carrying ketchup covered sausage links… how clumsy of me! And who are you?!" the old man brought himself him up and looked at Midoriya and All Might to ask them.
Midoriya stepped forward, "I'm Izuku Midoriya, and I'm sure you already know who All Mig-" Midoriya said but was cut off.
"Who are you?!" Midoriya sighed, "Izuku Midoriya." All Might on the other hand was just silent and staring at the exchange between his successor and his former teacher. The old man sat down on the ground, "I want lunch." he said.
He then looked up at Midoriya again, "Toshinori!" Midoriya looked at All Might for help, while All Might was just whistling to himself. "Alright, if you aren't Gran Torino, then we can look somewhere el-" he was cut off again. "Fire off an attack! Show me your One For All!" Gran Torino said seriously for the first time.
"I'd like to know to what degree you can control it!" he said looking at Midoriya like he was serious. Midoriya decided that this was probably the best course of action, "Okay, let's do thi-" he was interrupted for the 3rd time that day.
"I'm getting impatient." Gran Torino said as he bounced around the room about 5 times before he ended behind Midoriya. Midoriya didn't have enough time to react as he was kicked in the back, "We're fighting?! I thought you just wanted an demonstration!" Midoriya said surprised at the turn of events.
Gran Torino landed on a microwave, crushing it instantly, and said, " It seems you couldn't perceive my true power." he turned towards All Might who had backed away from the two. "I can't believe you picked such a wet blanket as your successor. You really are the novices of all novices All Might" Midoriya grumbled and tried to attack, but Gran Torino dodged and bounced around the room more.
'He's too fast, I don't have time to analyze his abilities! I have to slow him down somehow! He's attacked me twice in the back now! So…' Midoriya quickly thought as Gran Torino kept bouncing around the room.
Gran Torino was about to hit Midoriya in the back again, but Midoriya quickly jumped up and charged One For All through his fist and almost hit Gran Torino, but he lept out of the way and bounced of the wall again to tackle Midoriya onto the ground and restraining him.
"You're too stiff and..." this time Gran Torino was cut off by Midoriya using One For All through his head and almost head butted him, before Gran Torino backed up quickly to avoid it. "You may have more experience, but don't underestimate me just because I'm a kid!" Midoriya said confidently.
Gran Torino smiled and sped straight towards Midoriya, Midoriya quickly used One For All and fired it off right towards Gran Torino. Gran Torino quickly bounced off the floor and then the ceiling towards Midoriya.
Midoriya knowing what was probably going to happen, turned backwards immediately and used One For All predicting Gran Torino's previous movements. Like he predicted, Gran Torino did jump on the ground just in front of Midoriya and hit the back wall to bounce to hit Midoriya in the back.
Except Midoriya was ready and used One For All with his right hand, 'SMASH!' he threw a punch at Gran Torino. Except Gran Torino expected him knowing his pal so he purposefully bounced off the wall so he could aim more towards Midoriya's left arm.
Midoriya created wind pressure in front of him, but Gran Torino was able to grab his left arm and restrain Midoriya on the ground, but this time with more awareness of the young successor of One For All.
Gran Torino got up and looked at Midoriya, "I'll give you some praise that you're not so stiff and your awareness isn't as bad as I thought, but you're control is still very bad." Midoriya looked at his hands in defeat.
"You're thinking of One For All as something special," he then started going towards the door to outside. "Then what should I do?!" Midoriya asked, Gran Torino half opened the door and looked back at Midoriya, "That's something you have to find out for yourself. Come on Toshinori, you can buy me lunch for taking so long to get here." All Might looked at Midoriya and mouthed sorry and followed Gran Torino as they closed the door.
…
Ten minutes passed…
Midoriya was still thinking about what Gran Torino said, "I've been thinking One For All as... something special." Midoriya said out loud. 'Is that why my control is not as good as it could be?' Midoriya thought as he contemplated Gran Torino's words.
"He said I'm not as stiff as he thought I would be, but does that mean he was going to connect it with my control of One For All and respect for All Might?" Midoriya said trying to deduce how Gran Torino gave hints to figuring out how to control One For All.
"There's no way I'll be able to handle 100% of One For All until a couple years from now, but continuing the idea of me being stiff, what can I take away from that?" Midoriya kept pacing back and forth.
"If the opposite of stiff is loose, then… that's it! I've been thinking that One For All is a super last trump card! I always imagine "using it" instead of it being the same as breathing!" Midoriya started to smile as he came to this realization.
Gran Torino and All Might in his true form could be seen standing outside the house listening in to Midoriya as he started to figure out the way to control One For All.
"Maybe you did pick a good successor Toshinori." Gran Torino said looking up at All Might who merely smiled in agreement.
…
It was night and Midoriya had just called his mom that he as staying with All Might, even though he did refrain from saying that All Might left before night came. Midoriya looked at the "probably" sleeping Gran Torino that was just snoring like there was no tomorrow.
'He's sleeping, right?' Midoriya thought to himself as he sweat dropped, 'All we did was spared that one time and when he came back, he said All Might had decided to go home, then he immediately went to bed.' Midoriya then went outside.
"I tried to ask All Might more about him, but he wouldn't say anything, and I searched him up and nothing came up, he pretty mysterious." he glanced around to make sure no one could see him.
"I need to think of One For All more evenly, For everyone else in the world who have quirks, it's as natural as breathing. All Might said, I can handle 5% of my power, so if I can control that, then maybe I'll be able to perform moves like Kacchan can." he went to the side of the building in the alleyway.
'Even 5% should be enough for this jump! This'll be great if I can do it. Alright now imagine the egg not exploding.' Midoriya thought as he analyzed jumping between the two buildings, and getting ready to jump to a side of the building.
He jumped but immediately splatted against the wall and fell into the nearby dumpster, "I have to brace my legs, and cushion for my arms. I need to power up on my second boost, but of course that runs the danger of breaking my limbs." Midoriya said out loud as sat laying the dumpster.
Meanwhile two people were walking by and heard Midoriya speaking out loud, "Seem, there isn't a enough time for the whole visualization thing." Midoriya then got up and kept practicing for the rest of the night.
…
Gran Torino came down the stairs to see Midoriya who looked clearly beat up, "What's wrong with you?" he asked the green and black haired boy. "I was training last night and this is what happened. After figuring out what you said, I decided to put that into practice and try to control One For All, and… I've realized that I still have a long way to go." Midoriya said looking sad but happy for the future.
"Every journey begins that way, Toshinori was a lot more cable at handling One For All, so I had to train him differently compared to you. All he had was his body, we spared everyday until he puked. I couldn't half-ass his training, especially after he was left in my care by a dear friend." Gran Torino said seriously as looked sad remembering his dear friend.
Midoriya looked curious at the former pro hero, "You're talking about his predecessor right? So they already passed away?" Midoriya said trying to understand Gran Torino's words.
Gran Torino looked up surprised but wasn't able to respond as they heard a knock on the door, "Who is that?" Midoriya asked as he went towards the door.
"It's probably Amazon." Gran Torino said but thought to himself, 'So you haven't told him have you Toshinori.' Midoriya came back carrying a big package and put it on the table. "What is it?" Midoriya asked Gran Torino who climbed on the table to open the package.
"For some reason, my microwave broke and I ordered a new one." he sai as he got it out and replaced it with the old one.
'Did he forget he was the one who broke it?' Midoriya said as he sweat dropped, but shook his in acceptance.
"Heat up some of this frozen taiyaki, boy!" Gran Torino said sitting down at the chair. Midoriya followed suit and heated up the taiyaki in the microwave as he kept contemplating how to make One For All as easy as breathing.
'Unlike everyone else who have quirks, they have been able to experience them for years, while I got mine only about a month ago.' Midoriya then heard the microwave go off and took out the taiyaki and gave it to Gran Torino.
He then tried to take a bite of the taiyaki and immediately almost cracked his teeth on the hard and cold taiyaki. "Ahh, cold!" Gran Torino took the food out of his mouth, "What? I'm sure I put it at defrost mode." Gran Torino angrily got up and walked to the microwave and realized Midoriya's mistake.
"You idiot! You put them on a plate that was too big for the microwave! The plate has to be able to move around for it to heat up more evenly! You ever use a microwave before?!" Gran Torino said pointing at the microwave angry.
"Oh, my microwave doesn't work like that I'll pu-" he cut himself off as he came to a sudden realization. "Ahh, I got it! Gran Torino! This taiyaki is… me!" Midoriya said showing Gran Torino the taiyaki, "No, it's not! Something wrong with you?!" he said.
Midoriya continued, "No! I mean, up until now I've only thought about "using" One For All, like an on-off switch. But what if I keep the switch on and all throughout my body except in only one place." One For All then went throughout Midoriya's entire body and electricity started to surround him.
"Taiyaki in a microwave is pretty simple and boring, are you sure you want that as your visualization?" Gran Torino said chuckling. Midoriya then stood while trying to stop trembling with 5% of One For All coursing throughout his body.
His body began to glow as electricity flowed around his body, "It's fine, after all All Might gave that to me as my inspiration." Gran Torino nodded and threw down his cane.
"Can you move like that?" he asked, "I-I'm not sure." Gran Torino grinned. "You wanna test it out?" Midoriya looked up, "Yes, please!" Gran Torino then got out a stopwatch.
"Can you even move while having One For All course throughout your body without losing it? You've definitely improved from yesterday, but show me how much you have improved! Let's go three minutes! Let's see…" Gran Torino then zoomed to the ceiling and then the wall behind Midoriya zooming towards him, about to kick him.
"...if you can hit a single hit on me in that time!" Midoriya quickly ducked as Gran Torino missed a kick and went over Midoriya.
Midoriya then tried to run a few steps, but lost control and One For All stopped flowing within his body. Gran Torino on the other hand was busy flying throughout the room and then hit Midoriya unexpectedly. "You definitely can react at times, but you're not consistent, what a shame! How can you save people in the moment of truth?! The future symbol of peace should be able to overcome this much at least!" Gran Torino said while zooming throughout the room and then hit Midoriya again, sending him to the ground.
'Crap, it'll take a little while to get it flowing again, but his attacks are too fast to track, so I don't have enough time to concentrate. His attacks may be low damaging, but I just need a little time!' Midoriya thought as he scurried under a couch.
"Trying to buy some time eh?! Utterly foolish, I saw you!" Gran Torino said above the couch and going towards the couch, but the couch then exploded upwards towards Gran Torino which forced him to stop.
Midoriya laid on the ground with both feet standing up and his elbow getting ready to get up, 'One For All!' he thought as he springed up in the air and faced Gran Torino readying a swat towards the retired hero.
'Full Cowl!' he thought as he named his new "form" and almost Gran Torino, however the old man jetted away and his the wall to get behind Midoriya.
Midoriya landed on both feet and hands, he then turned towards Gran Torino looking determined. Midoriya shot up and was then above Gran Torino, to the old hero's shock, and flew his fist downwards at Gran Torino.
Gran Torino appeared to dodge the attack, 'Oh no! I'm falling!' Midoriya thought as he almost hit head first onto the floor. However Gran Torino zoomed off the wall to hit Midoriya in the side.
Midoriya hit the wall and hit the ground on his side, "And that's three minutes." Gran Torino said looking at his stop watch.
"Crap, holding it together is really hard. I still have a long way to go!" Gran Torino quickly turned away and headed out of his sight. "No… analyzing and predicting my moves was very good, you're judgement to find openings is impressive." Gran Torino grinned wildly.
'It's been awhile since someone forced me to dodge.' Gran Torino thought to himself as he rubbed a cut by Midoriya on his cheek. "Now before we get back to it, let's have breakfast!" Midoriya got up and nodded, "Right!" he said excited.
…
A week passed as Midoriya and Gran Torino trained, of course Midoriya had to go to school and study to keep his grades up. Midoriya sadly couldn't train with his new friends, but they understood and accepted his predicament to train, as he said himself, alone.
It was Friday afternoon and a ash blonde haired boy could be seen walking home from school looking quite annoyed, for the past month, he's been harassed by reporters asking him about the sludge villain incident, heroes asking to be a sidekick when he get's old enough, and worse of all, two very afraid junior high boys were following him home, again.
Bakugo turned around, having had enough of today, and spoke angrily at his two former "friends" with a ferocious voice.
"Will you two just come out already! You already look pathetic enough!" the two boys whispered to each other for a couple of seconds and then slowly came turned the corner they were hiding behind.
'U-uh, h-hey K-Katsuki." one of them spoke very afraid of the young man. Bakugo grumbled to himself, "Why are you following me you idiots!" he said walking towards the two with his hands in his pockets.
The other one stepped forward when Bakugo stopped about three feet away from them, "W-well, we just wanted to a-apologize for everything that happened with the slud-" he was cut off by an explosion from Bakugo's right hand after he removed it from his pocket.
"I don't wanna hear about that stupid sludge villain incident, I've heard about it like the plaque from everyone and their mother's! And what, you want to apologize for causing that incident in the first place?! No, I'm good! I don't want to hear a half assed apology from two idiots!" he finished as he turned right back around and started going home again.
Thankfully for Bakugo, it seemed that the two idiots had decided to shut their mouths, that is until he heard one of them speak up again. "C-can you at least answer us this question? Ever since the slud-" Bakugo growled with an explosion from his right hand again.
"I-I mean the i-incident, you've stopped bothering Midoriya, why?" he said scared for his life. Bakugo's eyes widened and slowly turned his head.
"I don't want to hear about that stupid Deku! Got it! It's my business, and for your information I only picked on that quirkless loser when he started acting cocky and acting like he could become a hero, alright! I wouldn't bully him if he didn't do that, unlike you two idiots." he finished his speech.
The two boys were beyond shocked to hear Bakugo's defense. Bakugo decided that he had wasted his time long enough and hurried his pace towards home.
…
Midoriya was at his house talking to Iida while doing his homework, "Man, this homework is tough. It's only been 2 months and homework is already beginning to increase in difficulty." he said to Iida, who was also busy doing his homework.
"I'm sure you'll be able to handle it Midoriya. While me on the other hand, I have finished." he said proud of himself. Iida could hear Midoriya sigh on the other side of the phone, "I apologize for making you feel lower than me Midoriya!" he said raising his voice to show his sincerity.
Midoriya removed the phone from his ears for a couple of seconds so Iida could let himself calm down. "I didn't mean it seriously Iida, plus you're smarter than me so that is to be expected." he said laughing a little.
Iida joined him, "Yeah I guess I went a little to overboard. Anyway, I don't want to seem clingy or anything like that, but when are you going to be done this solo training or yours?" he asked Midoriya as he put his homework back inside of his backpack.
Midoriya but his lip in nervousness, Uraraka asked that to, but thankfully it was over texts and he could take his time to think of an answer. However being put on the spot was something the young man wasn't prepared for.
"Well, you see, I think my training by myself has improved myself significantly compared to a week ago. I mean it's not like training with you was a bad thing or anything like that Iida!" Midoriya said panicking after he realized how it sounded like.
Iida smiled to himself, "No, it's fine Midoriya. I can understand that, training by myself has been great for me too, now with that beach you showed me, I've been able to practice my accuracy with my attacks." he said making motions with his hands even though he was the only one that was able to see them.
Midoriya nodded to himself, "Anyway, I think I've gotten to a point where I can practice with someone else, so I should be done soon." he said smiling while leaning back in his chair.
It was quiet on the phone for a couple of seconds then Iida suddenly spoke, "Oh, sorry Midoriya, mother has finished dinner and I must attend dinner, if you'll excuse me." he said.
"Of course, see you later Iida." he said to his very fast friend, "Goodbye!" he then hung up. Iida exited his room and arrived at the dinner table where he saw his mother setting down some food and his father sitting at the table.
"About time you finished Tenya, don't tell me you're studies are too difficult for you." his father said teasing him.
Iida sat down at the table across from his father, "I apologize father, my friend called me and I decided that it was more important to answer him then ignore him, and it took me a little longer to finish, I will make sure not to do tha-" he was cut off by father laughing.
"I was just joking Tenya, plus I know you'll always put your studies first, so I'm not worried, and it's not a bad thing to have friends to a talk to." Iida understood and went to grab more food until he heard the doorbell.
"I'll get it!" he said and got up and went to the door, to only open it to see a surprising face. "Tensei!" he said surprised to see a tall man that resembled himself without the glasses.
The older man hugged Iida, "What are you doing here brother?!" he said excited and curious to see his older brother here. "I thought I should visit my family since it's been a little while." he said smiling.
Iida nodded and they went to the dining table together and after a reunion between Tensei and their parents, they all sat down together at the dinner table. They said thank you for the food and began eating their delicious dinner.
Iida's father began to talk to Tensei, "So, how's work been Tensei, looking after all those people, it'd be understandable it you've a little stressed." he said slightly worried for his busy son.
"No father, I'm fine, and I know I've told you this before, but they support me and I would have dislike towards my job, it's all I want to do." he said smiling. His father nodded and proceeded to eat.
"Now, how has my little brother been. You still a robot?!" he said teasing his little brother and his excessive hand gestures.
"I have of course been following your example and training everyday to become a hero and enter UA!" he said proving Tensei right and doing hand gestures with food in his hand however.
"Tenya! Don't fling your food around needlessly, also you should try to stop that habit!" his mother said commanding, but not to threatening. Iida immediately stopped, "Sorry mother!" he said slightly bowing, Tensei laughed and then stopped to say, "Good, but what about outside of that?" he asked.
Iida looked down at his food and then looked up at his brother with a smile, "I guess I made a new friend." he said smiling, Tensei smiled and nodded as they continued to eat their dinner.
…
It was the next day as Midoriya arrived at Gran Torino's home again and they quickly got into position to begin their sparing and see if Midoriya could get a clean hit on Gran Torino, even though it already happened, but Gran Torino decided it would motivate Midoriya more if he didn't know that.
Gran Torino zoomed across the the room was once again, at this point, Midoriya had been able to experience his offense so much that he knew he was ready to finally hit Gran Torino. 'He usually starts out with a kick to the back, but he's a lot more clever than that.' Midoriya thought as he backed up against the wall and continued to see Gran Torino zoom around the room.
"Clever, but eliminating one blind spot won't help you!" he said as he finally zoomed right in front of Midoriya and under his chin and then immediately jetted above to knee Midoriya in the chin.
Midoriya ignored the pain quickly activated Full Cowl and almost hit Gran Torino, but he was not fast enough. Midoriya put his two elbows on the wall and reinforced his jump towards Gran Torino only to barely miss him again.
Midoriya landed on a table and grabbed a chair with both arms, 'What is he trying to pull, does he actually think that'll stop me or even hit me?!' Gran Torino thought as he hit the ceiling above Midoriya and jetted below him and prepared a kick only to be very shocked at Midoriya's plan.
He slightly jumped in the air with Full Cowl and put the chair on the table and jump off the chair to the right and towards the wall. "Careful! Careful!' he thought worried that he would hit the wall with his back, however he successful hit both feet and hands on the wall and jumped forward towards the falling Gran Torino.
"SMASH!" he yelled and punched Gran Torino right in the stomach with his right fist, sending him to the wall and eventually the floor, where he just barely landed on his feet and one hand, as the other one was clutching his stomach.
Midoriya landed on both feet and looked at his right fist, "YES!" he yelled feeling accomplished. He then looked at Gran Torino who seemed to have walked off the blow pretty easily, "Don't get to full of yourself, but how did you know what I would do?" he said walking over to Midoriya.
"Oh, well considering that the wall behind me would have been even a little risky for you to try and hit me, and that you wouldn't try something so direct and hit me in the front. So the only way you would probably attack me would be from above and I knew I wouldn't be able to react in time, since I deduced that, I jumped away and hoped to be able to spring myself and hit you, of course whether I'd be able to do that was only a probability." he said smiling.
Gran Torino's eyes looked very shocked, 'You say that, as if it's normal to think up all that in about 10 seconds. You really have improved kid.' he thought to himself.
Gran Torino shook his head, "Alright well congratulations, you were able to hit me. Now get ready, we're going out!" he said walking towards the door out of nowhere. "W-wait, what?! Why now?!" he asked.
"I thought you would be able to get a blow on me today, so I prepared something special in case." Midoriya followed Gran Torino outside. "We're going on the bullet train so you can train with someone else." Midoriya looked puzzled but followed him regardless.
They got on the bullet train and were about to arrive at their destination, "Gran Torino, why am I training with someone else? And who?" he asked the old hero.
"You'll develop bad habits if we just keep sparring and training together on a continued basis and you'll find out who it is when we get there." he said explaining himself.
Midoriya was shocked to see them arrive at a traditional Japanese house after they got off the bullet train and took a taxi. He followed Gran Torino as he knocked against the door.
They waited a couple of seconds only to hear someone come towards the door and slide it. Midoriya was shocked to see a boy who looked around his age, except he a distinct scar over his right eye with a very deadpanned face.
"Hello, who are you and what do you two want?" he asked very monotone, Midoriya stepped forward, "I'm Izuku Midoriya, nice to meet you, what's your name?" he said trying to sound friendly.
"My name's Shoto Todoroki." he said very monotone again.
End
That's chapter 5, so I really, really, really, really, really, REALLY apologize for the fact that a majority of this chapter was literal copy and paste like parts of chapter 3 except a little of the first fight scene with Midoriya and Gran Torino and some other facts.
I hope the added scenes were to your liking and also I know I was very late, and my excuse in not very good, basically I was just really lazy with writing the copy and paste moments.
So anyway, leave your thoughts and see you later!
