Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here you get to see a new story arc, where Izuku encounter another character who is also a pro hero, and Bakugo gets roped in…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 8: Budō no tatsujin
At the police station, you can see Saitama and Genos leaving, as the two heroes were able to convince the police chief that everything is a misunderstanding, and Genos' name is cleared as the real culprits are arrested, and that no charges were filed since Saitama's actions towards Bakugo were accidental after determining that Saitama mistook the blond-haired boy for a villain after Bakugo attacked Saitama first and that Saitama acted in self-defense.
Genos thanked Saitama for the help, which Saitama said that it is nothing.
"Saitama-sensei."
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
"Huh?"
"I owe you one."
"Oh? That's nothing."
"But you did help me back there…"
"Don't worry about it, Genos…"
However, the two heroes were startled when Bakugo, who is being held back by Kirishima, came and tried to charge towards Saitama. He is totally pissed and humiliated at being knocked out by the bald-headed hero and wants to get even and even the score.
Kirishima held his classmate back and urged him to let it go, saying that Saitama is not a villain and that he too is a pro hero from another agency, which had little success as Bakugo is too pissed to care about what he was told about.
"Let me go!"
"Bakugo, calm down!"
"I'm gonna kill that asshole!"
"He's a pro hero!"
"Like I care! He humiliated me!"
"He's just defending himself! He mistook you for a villain!"
"I'm gonna FUCKING kill him!"
"Don't! you'll get UA Academy in trouble!"
Shoto watches on as he is curious after hearing Genos and Saitama's stories, and is rather intrigued when told about the Heroes Association, and there he told Endeavor that he is leaving everything to him and the police as he is heading off to the hospital to check on Izuku, as Uraraka went ahead to accompany Izuku as he is needed to have his wounds treated.
Endeavor nodded as he checks on Speed-O'Sound Sonic, who remained knocked out, but is in restrains after seeing how dangerous the ninja is, and told the police to make sure that Sonic is fully restrained to prevent him from making an escape, which the policemen assured to Endeavor that the suspect won't escape them and not cause more trouble.
"Sure."
"No problem."
"Leave it to us."
"We got everything under control."
"He won't escape."
"You won't have to worry, sir."
"You have our word."
"Count on it."
After that, everything went to normal, though Kirirshima still has a bit of problem calming Bakugo down as the blond-haired boy continued to shout at the departing Saitama and Genos, saying that it is not over yet, but Kiririshima urged his classmate to knock it off and reminded him that his reckless action would get him into trouble at UA Academy, which Bakugo said he doesn't care as all he wants is to get back at Saitama for humiliating him.
Kirishima told Bakugo that both Saitama and Genos are professional heroes and urges him to forget it saying that Saitama acted in self-defense and that there is no indication that Saitama is a villain and tells him to let it go, which Bakugo slowly and reluctantly did as told.
"Leave it, Bakugo!"
"…"
"They already apologized for what happened."
"…"
"If they're villains, then you can go all-out."
"…"
"Easy now…everything's cleared out…"
"…"
Soon the two boys went home, as Kirishima decided to escort Bakugo to his house to make sure he would go straight home and not sneak off somewhere that would land him into trouble.

Meanwhile, at the nearest hospital, Izuku is being treated and the doctors were quite concerned that his wounds were rather serious due to repeated hits from Sonic's explosive shurikens, and the doctor told Uraraka that Izuku might be confined for a month or so for observation given the gravity of the boy's injuries.
This made her feel worried as she felt so helpless in helping Izuku earlier. By then All Might arrived and asked the doctor how Izuku is doing, and he became concerned after being told by the doctor regarding Izuku's current condition.
"You mean…?"
"Yes, All-Might…the wounds are quite serious."
"Young Midoriya…"
"For now he'll be under observation."
"…"
"He'll be needing a lot of rest."
"…"
"Excuse me."
As the doctor left, Uraraka apologized to All Might saying she wasn't much help in the battle earlier and yet All Might assured to her that she is not to be blamed and said that Izuku will pull through regardless of the odds, stating that he trained him personally and that Izuku will weather it all the way.
By then Recovery Girl arrived and tells All Might and Uraraka that she will see what she could do, and Uraraka led Recovery girl to the recovery room, where both girls are surprised to see Izuku's state, and after being told of what happened, Recovery Girl nodded and said that she'll use her Quirk to help Izuku out.
"Okay, leave it to me."
"Eh?"
"I'll help him."
"Really?"
"Yes. At least he didn't go reckless like last time."
"Thank you, Recovery Girl!"
"It's fine."
"…"
And so Recovery Girl uses her Quirk and managed to heal majority of Izuku's wounds to the point that he can be discharged, but urges him and Uraraka to be careful, which the two teens nodded and thanked her for the help, which Recovery Girl said it is nothing.
As the two teens are left alone, Recovery Girl noted that this is the first time seeing Izuku getting seriously injured by a ninja and noted that had she not heard about the incident Izuku's condition might have been worse than critical, and All Might apologized, but she said it is okay, as at least the injuries were not self-inflicted like what Izuku did at the sports Festival.
"Oh, it's okay."
"Really?"
"Yes. At least he didn't go reckless like what he did at the Sports Festival."
"Well…"
"Still I'm surprised. Midoriya got beaten by a ninja…and he was easily taken down…that's not like him…"
"Perhaps he needs to work on the speed aspect…"
"Well whatever. I'm leaving now. Take care."
"Thanks again."
As Recovery Girl is leaving the hospital, All Might decides to head back to the recovery room to check on Izuku and see if he is well enough to travel on his own, as he has a feeling that the ones who hired Sonic to assassinate Izuku is still at large.

A several days later, the scene shifts at a park where Izuku is alone and is training in the use of martial arts to improve himself after the experience he had with Speed-O'Sound Sonic, and he had to push himself harder as what happened was not only humiliating, but also a wake-up call to him as he cannot afford to get beaten like that again.
Izuku is reading his notebook where the martial arts techniques are written, and after reading it, he attempted to apply it in real time and did some moves, but felt that his efforts were not enough and he tried harder to apply it.
By then Bakugo passed by and is rather irritated that he is seeing such a pathetic display of training, and opted to leave him alone, but is somewhat compelled to go back and reluctantly decided to assist him in improving his fighting technique so that Izuku can get stronger and then challenge him to a UA-sponsored duel to show who more deserving to become a hero.
Izuku was rather moved by Bakugo's willingness, though Bakugo is reluctant to admit it and reasoned that he only wants to make sure that Izuku is at 100% ready so that when the time comes there won't be any handicap.
"Really, ka-chan? You're going to help me?"
"Don't get the wrong idea. I want you at 100% so when the time comes we can settle this at the proper venue."
"…"
"And I'm curious that I heard that you got thrashed easily by a bum who is dressed like a ninja."
"…"
"Well, whatever. Let's get started."
"Okay."
"…"
By then a group of delinquent teens showed up, and they possessed some powerful Quirks and intentionally provokes Izuku and Bakugo to goad them into a fight, saying that the two teens either fight them or will attack a group of children nearby and will use their Quirks to cause chaos and stampede if the two teens do not accept the challenge.
While Bakugo is eager to accept, Izuku asked why does the group want to challenge him, saying he did not do anything to them, and one of the delinquents accidentally said they were hired by some POLITICAL big-shot to take Izuku out, and by taking out Bakugo as well, the group would impress their client enough to give them more financial reward.
The other group members berated their member for squealing, saying that this is supposed to be a covert operation.
"Hey! "
"You idiot!"
"This is supposed to be a secret operation!"
"Yeah!"
"You and your big mouth!"
"You just blown our cover!"
"Now we'll have to do it the hard way!"
"Sorry…"
To get to their point, one member of the delinquent group uses his Quirk to create a grenade and is making a gesture to hurl it towards a group of passing nursery and kindergarten students, and the other delinquent members uses their Quirk which produces energy ropes and managed to bind and pin down Bakugo.
There the delinquent members told Izuku to either surrender or there will be blood to pay, and as the pinned Bakugo is being threatened by having his throat slit, and the others surrounded the children with grenades, Izuku is in a bind, but then an elderly man, silver-haired and in his 80's, was sitting on a bench, and seeing and hearing the conversation, he decided to intervene and uses a secret martial arts technique that violently sends the delinquent members colliding against several parked cars.
The other delinquent members are taken aback at seeing their members being taken down by an elderly man. They confronted him and demanded to know who he is and why is he interfering as well as asking if he wants to die.
The man, identified as Silver Fang, a pro hero from the Heroes Association, sighed and asked the group why are they causing too much trouble, only to be rebuked and they tell him he will die for that, and prepared to use their Quirks to attack him, causing Izuku to be alarmed and is ready to defend the elderly man, but to his surprise, Silver Fang uses his martial arts moves using speed and grace to knock out the delinquents and sending them crashing against the trees, knocking them out.
There Silver Fang freed Bakugo and asked Izuku if he is okay, which the boy thanked him for his help, and there Silver Fang asked if Izuku and Bakugo are interested in becoming his pupils, saying that he can teach them some of his secret moves that would help them become effective fighters against bad elements.
"You're going to teach us you say?"
"Really, mister?"
"Yes. If it's okay with you."
"Hmm…if it would work with my explosion Quirk…"
"A real martial arts…it might work along with my Full Cowl shoot-style…"
"Don't worry…the lessons I will give would be easy to learn…and you won't have to worry about the payment. It will be free."
"Hmm…not a bad offer."
"Hmm…maybe a weekend training might be okay…"
Bakugo stared intently at Silver Fang, seeing what the elderly man did, and felt that he might learn a thing or two that would work with his Quirk, as well as not wanting to be left behind and reluctantly asked Silver Fang to teach him as well.
Silver Fang smiled and said that he is willing to train them and that the session will be on weekends and said the lessons will be free and it will be a grueling one yet the two boys said that they are willing to learn under him.
"I'm in."
"Me too. "
"I want to learn from you."
"If it can enhance my kick attacks then I would graciously accept your offer!"
"Please teach me."
"Please teach me."
"We're willing to be your pupils."
"Me too!"
To Be Continued...
It seems that the unseen party who commissioned Speed O'Sound Sonic to assassinate Izuku is behind the group who are about to assault him, fortunately a good Samaritan happened to be there and lent a helping hand…
Bakugo also gets some screen time as he and Izuku meets the good Samaritan, who turned out to be another mainstay from One Punch Man, who turn out to be Silver Fang. Now Silver Fang seemed to take interest in Izuku and Bakugo, so there's a possibility that the two teens might get an impromptu lessons…
