A/N Thanks for your reviews and support.

WARNINGS! READ. As I said in the first chapter the main pairing is male on male. I don't have plans for any other relationships yet! But Izuku's relationship was decided when I first started this fic.

Hi: thanks for your review. But no this is not going to be that pairing. There is a warning in the first chapter but I'm not saying who he will be paired with.

FIRExNINJAxDROID: thanks for your review, my friend. She may become a retainer (kind of a guard within Murim) but she will not be his lover. This has parts from both the Breaker and Veritas yes.

Izuku's POV

Izuku stayed close to the middle of the roof. Chun for his part stood close to the edge of the south side. There he stamped out his cigarette butt. They locked eyes. Blue upon green. There was an untold sadness in those blue eyes.

It made him want to ask what was wrong. He knew though that he would never get a real answer. His teacher wasn't one for sharing such things.

He asked carefully, "Why are we here, Sungsengnim?"

Chun said taking a deep breath, "This is your lesson on foot techniques. I can teach you the basics but foot techniques come from the user. You have to make it your own for it to truly work for you. I'm sure you learned this when you tried to learn the half step technique. For now, watch carefully I'm only going to show you this once. The foot techniques you will be learning are the five basic ones. Jin will draw you towards your opponent."

Izuku watched the other. At first, it only looked like the other was walking. Closer attention to Chun's ankle showed it not to be true. He was angling his foot straight to the ground. Then roll it into the movement of his body. Ki must keep the ankle from breaking.

Then there was a flicker of the other's legs and he disappeared. Only for Chun to reappear less than a foot in front of him. It seemed he was right earlier. The movements were foot techniques.

Chun tapped his chest with his fist as he said, "This is Jin."

It was incredible to see it right up close. Before he could really consider it however the man was moving again. This time he leaned back and it was more of a sliding motion with his legs.

Chun said with a soft look, "The second is Tweh. To retreat from your opponent."

It was incredible. His teacher was back across the roof. Almost like he had never moved to begin with. Then once again the other was moving. It was a sliding sideways motion.

The man said, "The third is Hweh. It allows you to avoid your opponent's attack and gaze."

The man disappeared. No matter where he looked on the roof he couldn't see Chun. It gave him perspective on the technique.

A voice said from behind him even as a hand grabbed him by his shirt, "The fourth is Gyuk. It attacks your opponents. You can't use it however you want. It's a skill that allows you to read your opponent's foot technique and change its movements to neutralize your opponent."

Chun knocked his feet out from under him as an example. From the ground, he watched the final one. This allowed him to see the techniques up close. The way the ankle moved.

Chun said, "The final one is Hwan. It affects the opponent's mind and will power."

It was no wonder why it was shown last. Otherwise, Izuku might not have believed it. Despite seeing it with his own two eyes.

The footsteps were almost too fast for him to follow. Even though he was able to see some he wasn't able to see others. However, he was able to see five of his teachers. That scared him. One of Chun was bad enough not to mention five of him.

When he blinked there was only one of the men. A hand was in his face offering him help up. Not one to turn down a helping hand he allowed Chun to pull him up to his feet.

Once back on his feet they went down to street level. The whole way Harrison's thoughts were on what he had seen. It made him wonder if he could replicate.

Izuku queried as they started going back to the apartment, "Hey, Sungsengnim? That technique you did just a moment ago?"

Chun glanced at him as he inquired, "What? That's why you have been so quiet?"

"Ah well, yes."

Chun rolled his eyes as he said, "Don't stress about it then. They aren't something you can learn in one go."

Izuku asked his voice going contemplative, "Isn't it, in the ankle? No matter how I look at it. It seems you have to use your foot from the ankle down. Kinda like this?"

He tried to roll his ankle forward as his foot came down. Completely forgetting that to use a technique he had to match his ki flow to the movement. The end result was him cracking his ankle that throbbed with pain.

Chun said looking at the sky, "When we first met, I thought you were a coward. You proved me wrong when you went to fight me that day. And you continue to prove me wrong every day. A coward wouldn't take on this training. Your analytical abilities far surpass those your age. You observed correctly. However, in order to correctly do the movement, you must match your ki flow."

Izuku grinned, "Just like the inner strike technique."

Chun nodded as he said, "That's right. It won't be easy however to achieve the ultimate level. If you can properly pick it up then no one your age would be able to get you. Some of the older masters too."

Izuku leaned back on his heels as he said, "Yoochun once suggested creating my own. That once I got the hang of basic techniques I would be able to create one of my own."

Chun sighed, "That's not something I can help you with. Most techniques in my arsenal are ones I've learned from watching others use it. Combining it with others I've learned is what makes it so unique. Besides, you have your training with that hero as well. Don't forget to keep up with your ki exercises. They are just as important as building up your body."

Chun had a point. In the mornings and the afternoons, Izuku spent his time with All Might. There they would be working on building up his body.

During the evenings, however, he would be training his ki. This would be everything from sparring to learning new techniques.

Between the two teachers, he should be able to pass the UA entrance exam in ten months. Even if All Might wasnt helping him his ki alone would be able to pass. Ki had enough explosive power to allow him to pass.

Chun said with a yawn, "Alright. Work on the walking foot techniques and go home at 9. You need your rest."

"Yes, sensei."

With that, the man left him in the street. Izuku went through the streets towards a little-used park. It was the best place for training. He and Chun used it for sparring occasionally. The foot traffic consisted of three people most of the time.

Once in the park and set a timer for 9 pm. Then he focused his ki into his leg. Moving his leg forward trying to match the flow to the movement. He flinched as his ankle tried to roll outwards.

Before his ankle broke he stopped. So if he kept moving with his ki flow not matching his movements then his ankle would break. That would put him behind in his training.

Maybe walking around while using his ki would be the first step. Izuku pulled off his jacket and put it over a tree limb. Then he began walking internally focusing on his ki flow.

Walking between one tree and the one twenty feet away as he focused on his ki. It flowed clockwise through his center and down his into his leg. Controlling the movement so that it flowed evenly throughout most of his body then through his leg. It took all of his concentration to keep it flowing.

Most days he only had his ki flowing evenly when he was training. It kept him from using up all his ki before they even started. However, if he wanted to master this technique. Then maybe he should get in the practice of keeping his ki moving constantly through him.

He would have to practice keeping his ki flowing into his legs. For the next two hours, he focused on simply walking with his ki flowing evenly.

When the alarm went off he was exhausted. He took a ki pellet and continued to let his ki flow rather than keeping it inside his center.

With the exclusion of his time sleeping, he would have to keep doing this. Once he learned how to match his movements and flow to the point it was natural then he could restart walking techniques.

When he got home it was 9:30. His mom was in her room and under the door, he could see a faint light.

Lightly he knocked on the door and called out, "Mom I'm home."

"Okay, Izuku. There's food in the microwave if you want something," came her sleepy reply.

His stomach growled hungrily at the thought of food. As she said there was a plate of food in the fridge. It was fish and rice with a side chickpeas. His mother agreed to help keep him on a strict high protein diet.

The diet was started as soon as Chun came into his life. It helped keep him in better shape and put muscle on him.

After scarfing down his food he collapsed on his bed. The next morning he woke at five-thirty and took a quick shower. He ate a quick bite of sausage before walking towards the beach with his ki going through him.

When he arrived the sun was just peeking out over the water. Trash was all over the beach and at the set of stairs leading towards the water stood All Might. Deep in his gut, Izuku had a sinking feeling that he would be the one getting rid of that trash.

Izuku greeted, "All Might good morning."

All Might turned around his eyes bright. This man looked way too happy for it to be six in the morning. Izuku might have been training in the morning for months but he still hated it.

All Might said, "Good morning young Midoriya," he let Izuku get closer before continuing, "You have the spirit to become a hero. Right now however your body is unable to handle the power that would come with One for all. So in order to prepare your body, we will be moving this trash off the beach."

Internally he groaned. He was right. Essentially he would be a garbage man until the beach was clean.

Izuku began to unbutton his shirt so that it wouldn't be soaked in sweat. All Might directed him towards the sandy beach. Then the pro hero went halfway towards the other end.

All Might said, "You only have to clear the beach to this point. I can see that you've been training your body before now so it shouldn't take as long."

Sighing he began to move the smaller pieces of trash. While they were small they were heavier than expected. Ki reinforced muscles allowed him to pick them up but it could only go on for so long.

By the time 7:30 arrived, he had gone through three ki pellets. If anyone looked at the beach then veruses early they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

All Might handed him a towel and then it was time to race home. His ki fluctuated while he ran but still flowed throughout his body. Something he didnt notice as he ran too focused on getting home with enough time to change and get to school.

School wasnt any different than it usually was. Studying was something of a second nature for him. Fighting wasn't. Even as a small child he always tried to talk his way out of fights.

It wasnt until recently that had changed. Yoochun hadn't cared all that much. The less he fought against Murim the less likely that he would be seen by the Alliance or worse the Reunion. His entire fighting style was around the chance that he would be unable to getaway.

Then Chun popped into his life and showed him that he was living the coward's way. At the way he was going, he would never make it as a hero.

Flashback

Izuku skid across the concrete on his back. A man with black hair and piercing blue eyes stared at him coldly. The sheer amount of power that poured off of him was absolutely terrifying. It made the young boy quiver where he kneeled.

The power reminded him of his master. The very same one that had left him on his own. If his master saw him as he was the man would be ashamed. He would tell Izuku to rise and defend himself. Not to be a coward.

Yoochun didnt want him outright fighting against Murim. That didnt mean he should lay down and take a beating.

The man tsked as Izuku regained his feet, "When I felt so much power I thought maybe it was another guardian. Instead, I found a brat that is little more than a coward."

"I'm not a coward!" Snarled Izuku, "I was taught to avoid Murim."

The man brought out a packet of cigarettes and lit one. His eyes looked him up and down. It was obvious that he wasnt impressed by what he found.

The man asked, "And who pray tell taught you the cowards way? Everyone knows that if you don't fight you will never get any better. If you don't fight you can never truly know the range of your skills. Or if you have a chance in a fight. Standing your ground gives you those chances. Your master was as worthless as you are as a student. I should crush you and save him the trouble."

Izuku bit his lips so hard he drew blood. Calling him a coward and insulting him was one thing. To insult Yoochun was another. He would not stand by and allow that to happen.

For the first time in almost five years, he drew upon the lightning ki reserves to be used on another person. He had not sparred with anyone since he was abandoned by Yoochun. That didnt mean that he neglected his training.

Yoochun had said that the training would save him one day. That day was today.

Lightning encased his body startling the man enough that he took a step back. Then returned to his original spot a look curiosity now crossing his face.

Izuku lunged. He went to strike the man but quickly found his legs kicked out from under him and his body pinned. The lightning didnt seem to affect the man at all.

Was this all his training was worth? Damn it! He really was worthless to his master!

The man commented lowly, "Hmmph. Your body is slow and weak while your ki is fast. Speed means very little if it doesn't have the strength to back it up. It seems I was wrong about you. You're not worthless but only just barely above it. If you want to be able to defend yourself you need to improve that body of yours."

"How?" Croaked Izuku. He let his ki return to his body. Lightning no longer encasing it.

The man stood and replied as he held out a hand to Izuku, "My name is Han Chun Woo. Continue to prove to me every day that you are not a coward and I will expand upon the training you received. It's obvious your master is not here. Otherwise, he would have come to your rescue. So learn from me and that body of yours will become stronger. Then you will truly be able to defend yourself."

Izuku stared up at the hand for a moment. Considering everything that had happened he was inclined to believe the man. Izuku took the hand in front of him and allowed the man to pull him to his feet.

End of flashback

Izuku didnt regret taking Chun's hand that day. Without the man's help, he would still be in the weak body. While his body still wasnt up to par he was no longer the weak-bodied kid from before. All his work was slowly but surely paying off.

When it was time for lunch Izuku was practicing his ki movements again. As he went down the stairs his legs slipped forward.

The sliding forward motion was like how Chun moved when he used Jin. A voice snarled from behind him, "What are you doing Deku?"

Izuku turned to find Bakugo standing behind him. He replied coming to a stop at the bottom of the stairs, "Kaachan... I was doing exercises."

Bakugo's eye twitched in barely suppressed anger. Then he snarked, "Don't do that on the stairs, Deku. You'll break your neck."

That was the nicest thing Bakugo had said to him in years. Then just as quickly as he appeared the other was gone.
