Chapter 4: Karate and Meeting Someone Special
In a dark and barren wasteland, All Might was bleeding all over his massive body. All Might's iconic face has been badly damaged and lost a lot of skin. The hero's legs were broken, to the point where his body collapsed down to the ground. His stomach had a hole the size of a cannonball in it.
The person responsible was Shinu Senshi. Well, a part of Shinu Senshi. Senshi's pupils had disappeared and a wide demonic grin had appeared on his mouth. The face looked too unnatural for a human to make.
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? WE WERE ONCE FRIENDS," All Might said.
"FRIENDS," he strange Senshi said, "WOULD FRIENDS BETRAY EACH OTHER BEHIND THEIR BACKS. FRIENDS DON'T KEEP SECRETS FROM EACH OTHER."
"I HAD TOO, ONE FOR ALL IS TOO BIG OF A SECRET FOR THE WORLD TO KNOW," All Might said. Senshi just laughed.
"YOU CAN SAY ALL THAT YOU WANT. THAT'S NOT GOING TO PREVENT THE INEVITABLE, AND IM GOING TO ENJOY EVERY SECOND OF IT," the strange Senshi said. The strange Shinu then wrapped one of his hands around All Might's neck and started to squeeze.
All Might struggled to break free of the chokehold, but he no longer had his massive strength. Blood started to come out of his neck and All Might's eyes turned red. The symbol of peace was dying.
"GOODBYE, YOU BASTARD," the weird Senshi said as he raised his free fist.
"NO," someone cried out as they tackled Senshi off All Might. For some reason, All Might vanished like smoke in the wind.
"YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT," Shinu Senshi said to
Shinu Senshi!? Except this, one looked exactly like the normal one.
"How are you still alive? I GOT RID OF YOU," Senshi yelled.
"RID OF ME, YOU CAN'T GET RID OF ME. THAT OLD MAN WAS A FOOL TO BELIEVE HE COULD," the other Senshi said.
"DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT MY SENSEI LIKE THAT," the normal Senshi yelled.
"I CAN TALK ABOUT THAT OLD FOOL HOWEVER I WANT," the other Senshi said.
"Why are you even doing this? To mess with my mind," Senshi asked. "TO REMIND YOU WHAT WE ARE MESSING," the darker Senshi, said, "WE SPENT YEARS OF OUR LIFE FIGHTING, KILLING, FOR THIS MOMENT. YET YOU THREW IT ALL AWAY BECAUSE YOU FELT BAD."
"You knew damn well that's not it," the real Senshi said.
"AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW. FAILING JOB INTERVIEWS FOR A JANITOR, HOW DID WE FALL SO LOW? WE WERE THE KING, AND NOW WE ARE NOTHING. WE SHOULD MAKE USE OF WHAT LITTLE TIME WE HAVE LEFT," the dark Senshi said.
"I will rather die as nothing than what I was before," Senshi replied.
The dark Shinu paused before saying, "YOU WANT TO FIGHT HIM, DON'T YOU."
"All Might, I told you I want nothing from that life anymore."
"NOT ALL MIGHT, MIDORIYA."
Shinu Senshi woke up drenched in sweat. It was just a nightmare. A horrible nightmare that should not have happened in the first place. It has been two years since Shinu heard HIS voice in his head. Shinu hoped it would have gone the rest of his life without hearing HIM ever again. It could have been just a dream and HE was not there. There was no way he could ever want to fight Midoriya, that kid is nowhere near his level.
However, Midoriya did do pretty well in his first fight. His observation skills are even better than mine are. In a couple of years who knows how strong he may become.
...
Senshi hit himself on the head. What was he thinking? Midoriya was just a kid. Not wanting to take any risks, Senshi grabbed a paper and pen and started to write to his old sensei in Mandarin.
Dear Sensei,
I heard HIS voice again. I do not know if it was from a dream or I am just going crazy. I am going to get a phone so I can contact you more often. Write back to me when you get this. In addition, I have a student now. He is training to be a hero just like you. I just know he is going to make me proud.
From your former student Shinu Senshi.
"What a strange way to start the day," Senshi said to himself.
Izuku was puzzled. He believed he was going to a normal apartment or household. However, the address he had was to the entrance of a local forest.
"Hey kid, what are you doing here," a man called out.
"Oh sorry, I'm looking for this home address," Midoriya said, showing the man the address,
"Kid, tell what you intend to do up there?" the man asked.
"Oh just some training," Midoriya asked.
"Let me tell you something kid, don't piss off the man who lives here," the man told Midoriya.
"Why not?" Midoriya asked out of curiosity.
"This forest used to have tons of animals, from the biggest bear to the smallest squirrel. However, that all changed when that man came. Suddenly ever animal who lived here moved away, the only animals here are the fish in the local pond. That is not even the worst part. Tons of weirdoes come over to face that man. All of them have been utterly defeated. I've seen many horrifying things in my day, but nothing compares to that man." Midoriya was scared beyond all belief.
"Dan please stop scaring the kid," Senshi yelled out.
"Oh, come on. I'm old let me have fun in my life," the man now know as Dan said.
"You are a park ranger, I'm sure scaring your customer is against your work code," Senshi said.
"You are no fun. Why did you come down anyways?" Dan asked.
"I'm just dropping off mail, and Midoriya once I'm done we can start training," Senshi said.
"Ok sensei," Midoriya replied.
"Oh, someone's a teacher now. How long has that been going on?" Dan asked.
"About a month," Midoriya said.
"So you finally got a job after all," Dan, laughed.
"What does he mean by now sensei?" Midoriya asked.
"Nothing, he's just an old man," Senshi said in embarrassment. Dan laughed at Senshi's comment.
"Come with me Midoriya, I going to show you where I live," Senshi said.
"Don't have high hopes kid," Dan yelled out.
"Sensei, what does he mean by that?" Midoriya asked. "You'll see," Senshi said in an angry tone.
Senshi showed Midoriya a path leading into the forest. "Up here is where my house is. It's a long path, just letting you know," Senshi said.
"Okay," Midoriya replied.
At first, Midoriya believed that it was not that long of a walk. However, the longer it went, the harder it was to climb the mountain. The trail seemed like it would never end. The further up the mountain they went, the harder it was for Midoriya.
'Sensei goes through something like this every day. I know he's strong, but this is even worse than the thirteen-mile run,' Izuku said in his head, 'I know I can ask Sensei some questions to pass the time.'
"So sensei, why did you start practicing martial arts in the first place?" Izuku asked.
"Well, to be honest, I was a brawler in my middle school days. I fought I many people and always came on top. However, I met someone stronger than me. Ever since then I trained myself to learn everything about Martial arts," Sensei replied.
"Did you ever fight that person?" Izuku asked.
Senshi stopped, "No, I don't think he would like what I've done."
Midoriya was confused.
"We're here," Senshi said, pointing to an old looking dojo.
'So this is Sensei's house' Midoriya said in his head.
"Midoriya, were we followed?" Senshi asked.
Midoriya was confused until the trees around him started to shake. Out from the trees, a strangely dressed man. The man wore a bright orange jumpsuit and a hand band with a leaf on it. "My name is Narawhore Uzumoki; I am a ninja from the hidden grass village. With the power of the eight and a half clawed wolf, I will beat-" the man did not finish his sentence.
With a single punch, Senshi sent the man flying. The man crashed into some trees and knocked down the trees with him. "A ninja's greatest strength is their stealth. Your outfit and the fact that you just revealed yourself prove your stupidity," Senshi said.
"Come on Midoriya, we got training to do," Senshi said.
"What should we do about him?"Midoriya asked, pointing to Narawhore.
"Do not worry, someone always comes up and picks them up. I also held back against him so he'll live" Senshi did.
Once inside, Izuku saw that the dojo had loads of fighting equipment. It was similar to the boxing gym he previously went to, however, this was different. The equipment looked old and the large amounts of dust did not help it. "Sorry about the condition of this place, I don't have a lot of visitors," Senshi said.
"its okay," Izuku said, 'This reminds me of the time I went to Kacchan's house. This is just as messy.'
"So, Midoriya, what separates Boxing from Karate?" Senshi asks.
"Well, Karate uses kicks, unlike boxing that only uses punches," Izuku, responded.
"Correct, so that is where we will start off with. I'm going to teach you how to kick," Senshi said. He took out a large kicking mat and held it to his side. "Try doing a high kick aimed for my head," Senshi said.
Izuku tried to do a high kick but performed badly. "Okay I see what you need to improve on," Senshi said, "Look how I kick." Senshi then moved a few paces back. With a swift motion, he cut the air with his leg.
"Notice any differences?" Senshi asked,
"No, not really," Izuku responded.
"Okay then, trying doing another high kick," Senshi said.
Midoriya did so again, but this time, Senshi grabbed his leg in the air. "The difference between my kick and yours is the hips. I am moving my hips forward, which allows me to use my upper body strength. When your hips don't move, it cuts off the power of from your upper body," Senshi explained. "Try doing it again."
Izuku took a few paces back, before unleashing another kick, this time moving his hips. "I feel like I did something wrong," Midoriya said.
"Well, you just started with Kicks so you won't be an expert instantly. I recommend practicing kicking at home," Senshi said. "One more thing, I should try teaching actually Karate techniques. The most basic technique is the straight punch. Let me demonstrate," Senshi said.
Senshi position his left fist right next to his stomach. He then performed a straight punch with his right hand. Senshi then moved his right fist into the same position as his left and performed a straight punch with his left.
"This technique is called the Straight punch. This punch is different from the jab. It's pretty simple so that's why I'm going to teach you it first," Senshi explained, "Try it out."
Izuku tried the straight punch exactly like Senshi.
"Okay, just like that. Now let us talk about some exercises. We should do some exercises to not only improve your kicks but also your durability," Senshi said.
"Alright, what do you think I should do?" Izuku asked.
"First thing, planking. I recommend that should be added to your workout. Also, we don't you try doing some now," Senshi said.
"Alright," Midoriya said as he went down into a planking position. "How long do I have to do this?" Izuku asked. "Until I say so," Senshi replied. Senshi then went into another room.
'How long is this going to take?' Izuku asked himself.
Senshi then exited the room, wearing a different set of clothes. "I'm going out when I come back you better still be in the same position," Senshi said as he left the dojo.
'Oh No,' Izuku said in his head as he felt his body weaken.
ONE HOUR LATER:
"I'm back," Senshi said as he was holding two boxes containing a house phone and a regular cell phone. "Izuku how are you?" Senshi asked,
"Awful," Midoriya said as he was in the same position as before. "You can get up now," Senshi said.
Midoriya's body collapsed to the ground. "Well, you're not dead," Senshi committed.
"I feel dead," Izuku said. "That means you're alive," Senshi said, "By the way do you think you can still go on?"
"I … feel weird," Izuku said as he got up. Midoriya then began to see black. The last time he heard was"MIDORIYA!"
Izuku woke up in his bed. However, he that cannot be right, he was just in his Sensei's house. So why was he back home? Izuku looked around his room, his All Might collection was still here, so this was definitely his room. However, the question remained, how was he here?
Izuku pressed his ear against the door to the room. He heard two people talking, but could not hear them. However, one voice sounded like his mother. Taking a brave move, Izuku opened the door. The green haired bit turn went to the living room where he could now hear the voices.
"I knew Midoriya was an All Might fan, but I didn't know he was this much of a fan."
"Oh please, you should see his All Might pajamas, we got him so many."
"I thought he had two."
"It's brave to think he only had two."
Izuku finally saw the two people talking, and what a shock it was. His mom and his sensei were talking to each other, with a photo album in his mom's hands.
"Mom, Sensei, what's going on?" Izuku asked.
"Morning Sleep Beauty how was your nap?" Senshi asked.
"Fine, but what happened?" Izuku asked.
"Well you passed out so I took you home," Senshi said, "And your mother is amazing. I can see where you get all of your good traits came from."
"Oh, you're so kind," Inko replied.
"She even helped me set up my phone, so you can contact me whenever you want," Senshi said.
"Really, that's great," Izuku said,
"And he has shown me some exercise that I can do," Inko said.
"Well I better get going; I need to go somewhere right now. Midoriya I left you some a paper containing some exercises to do. They're not as intense as what you did earlier today so I think you should be good," Senshi said.
"Are you sure you can't stay for some tea?" Inko asked.
"I would love too, but this is urgent," Senshi said.
"I understand, come back anytime," Inko said as she waved Senshi goodbye.
"Goodbye Sensei," Izuku said as he waved his teacher goodbye.
After he left the Midoriya household, Inko asked a question to her son. "Izuku why didn't you tell me your teacher was as big as All Might?" his mother asked.
"Oh, well I guess it wasn't that important to mention," Izuku said.
"Next time, let me know before I have a heart attack," Inko Midoriya told her son.
"Alright, I will," Izuku said.
ONE WEEK LATER:
Izuku raised his leg in the air and performed a strong high kick against a kicking mat. 'That's a very good kick Midoriya. You've improved a lot," Senshi said.
"Thank you Sensei, do you want to see my straight punch now?" Izuku asked his teacher.
"Sure, why not," Senshi said. Izuku took a few paces back and started to perform the straight punch.
"That's excellent, your punches have improved a lot," Senshi committed.
"Thank you Sensei," Izuku said.
"Well now, let's go on to some other Karate techniques," Senshi said, "Try punching me."
"Are you sure? Someone could get hurt," Izuku asked.
"Oh don't worry, I won't get hurt," Senshi said.
'I was talking about myself,' Izuku said in his head.
Izuku went into his normal boxing stance. With a quick movement, Izuku unleashed his fastest jab. However, Senshi placed his hand against Midoriya's arm, diverting his punch away.
"This is a traditional way of blocking on Karate. This move can be used for attacks from above and down low. When you used this, you can also attack your opponent" Senshi then moved his hand that was blocking Midoriya's punch and threw a punch right towards his face.
It did not connect but stopped right in front of Izuku's face. "See why this is so effective," Senshi said.
"Wow," Izuku said with a smile on his face.
"I believe this could help you learn," Senshi said as he took out a wooden dummy half his size with multiple poles sticking out.
"I think I've seen this before in a lot of movies" Izuku commented.
"Well this is way different than the movies," Senshi said, "Here's why." With a single movement of his hand, Senshi was able to spin the dummy around like a top. It spun so fast that Izuku could barely see its movements.
When it stopped spinning, Izuku asked one thing. "Am I going to train with that?" he asked. Senshi nodded, "It's either that or I can do instead."
"Well, machine it is," Izuku said.
A FEW HOURS LATER:
"Well it's getting late, I think I would be best if we end our training now," Senshi said.
"I agree with that," Izuku said as his face was now bruised in a comedic way.
"Just take a long jog, that's it for today," Senshi said.
"Great," Izuku said as he left the building. Senshi waited for a long time before he started to chuckle. Then he started to laugh wildly.
'I shouldn't, my student's beat up face isn't that funny,'Senshi said to himself. "BUT IT IS, HAHHAHAHAHA," Senshi laughed aloud.
CRASHED
A man burst through the wall. The man had black hair with blue eyes. The man was wearing a white sleeved shirt with dark blue pants. The man also held a backward sword.
"My name is Sasgay Uchiwawa, I heard you were the man who defeated Narawhore," the man now known as Sasgay said.
"Yeah, what are gay for him?" Senshi joked.
"DO NOT ENCOURAGE THE FAN'S," Sasgay yelled, "But that is not why I am here. I am here to honor my ancestors." Sasgay then took out his sword. His eyes then changed from black to dark red. "With the Shitingan, my family's prized weapon, I will bring honor back to my dead clan. I am the last survivor of the Uchiwawa massacre that happened-"
'Oh my god is he going to me his whole life story.'
"I then dedicated my life to-"
'Holy Shit he is telling me his life story.'
"When I was bitten by a big snake man, I gained the powers of a-"
'You know I can go for some Mexican right about now. I've been having way too much fish lately.'
"After abandoning my village and leaving the girl who liked me for some reason, I joined a-"
'Are there any Mexican restaurants in Japan. I hope so, I haven't had Mexican in ages.'
"After killing my brother I discovered my family was killed because-"
'You know, this guy looks like a mascot for Hot Topic. He could make some real money as one.'
"I then fought my former allies when-"
"Are you just going to talk or are we going to fight?" Senshi angrily asked.
"Well have it your way," Sasgay yelled. Lighting formed on his blade. "As the last of the Uchiwawa's, I WILL DEFEAT YOU," Sasgay yelled out. He then rushed at the speed of lighting towards the huge man.
Only to be kicked right in the groin. The full force of the kick instantly crushed Sasgay balls. Sasgay collapsed to the ground, holding his crotch
"Well, you were right on one thing. You are the last of whatever you are," Senshi said. He then took out his new phone and said"Two things, I have to get going and when I get back you had better not be in here or take anything. If so then you'll lose more than your balls."
Senshi then left the dojo, leaving Sasgay alone and broken. "Let us see the wonders of modern technology. Hey Siri, Mexican Restaurants near me," Senshi said to his phone.
"Okay, I found five results for Mexican cults near you," Siri replied in a dull robotic voice.
'What the fuck?'
SOMEWHERE ELSE:
Izuku was sprinting all the way home. This was training Izuku did that not even his sensei knew. Izuku knew his Ace was not in his strength but in his speed. So Izuku had been running to school to Sensei's house and them to his home. He also did this with his backpack on, making the journeys even hard. However, despite all this, Izuku continued to do these runs. Even once when it was raining, Izuku did not slow down. However, Izuku stopped to see something that caught his eye.
"Teenage Muay Thai fighter has gained a huge cult following online," was the title on TV.
"Yes, Daikaku this boy is earning worldwide fame. Although public fighting or sports itself had faded from popularity because of the rise of quirks, Thailand still has Muay Thai competitions. One of these Muay Thai fighters is a boy named Chaisai Chakrii. Despite being thirteen years old, Chakrii has proven himself to be among one of the best fighters in history. Our reporter Yu Shimamura is now interviewing the young fighter. Now to you Shimamura."
"Thank you Daikaku," Shimamura said as she now appeared on the screen. "I am currently standing the dojo of Chanchai Chakrii, which is also where Thailand's top hero originated from. Here is Chakrii now," the reporter said.
The Moment the Muay Thai fighter appeared on screen, Izuku felt something. His entire body went cold. 'What is this?' Izuku asked himself. He only felt this before when Kacchan antagonized him.
'I'm scared but why?' Izuku asked himself. Chakrii did not appear very imposing. He had light brown skin with brown hair and brown eyes. Chakrii was also the same height and age as Izuku.
Izuku was not the only one feeling this pressure, the reporter on screen looked visibly shaken.
Another man was with Chakrii. "Everyone, this is Charkii's personal translator. He will be translating everything that Chakrii says into Japanese," the reporter said.
Chakrii said something in Thai, which his translator interpreted. "Chakrii says that he is happy to have this opportunity," his translator said.
"I'm glad he is," the reporter replied. After Chakrii sat down, the reporter began to asked questions. "So Chakrii, there are many rumors that you have received scholarships from hero schools like U.A and Thailand's own international hero school. Are these rumors true?" the reporter asked.
Chakrii answered which his translator explaining, "I am not one to brag but yes these rumors are true."
"Another question that is also on everyone's mind, why did you start competing in Muay Thai?" The reporter asked the teen.
"I can answer this one," the translator said, "So see, Chakrii always wanted to fight strong people. So being a Muay Thai fighter was his way of doing so," the translator said.
"Okay, one thing that has made you very popular is how you often fight against opponents who use other martial arts. Why exactly do you do this?" the reporter asked.
Chakrii smiled and said something in Thai. However, despite not knowing what he said, the sentence sends shivers down Izuku's spine. Even the translator looked scared.
"What did he say?" the reporter nervously asked.
"He said," the translator was obviously scared, "He said that would accept all challengers. No matter the circumstances."
Izuku was so distracted by the T.V that he did not notice a brown hair girl accidentally trip onto him.
"Oh, I am so sorry. I wasn't paying attention," the girl said as she held her hand out.
"It's no problem I perfectly fine," Izuku said as he grabbed her hand for support.
"Come on Uraraka, no time for-" a black haired boy said as he entered into the conversation. However, he then saw Izuku and recognized him
"MIDORIYA/KIRISHIMA," the two boys yelled.
"How have you been?" Kirishima asked.
"I've been doing great. How are you doing?" Izuku replied.
"Training's been hard, but besides that, I've been doing well," the black haired boy answered.
"Excuse me," both boys turned to face the voice, 'Kirishima, who is this?"
"Oh sorry, Uraraka, this is Izuku Midoriya, the guy who kicked my ass," Kirishima said.
"Don't say it like that," Izuku said.
"Oh, so you were the one that beat Kirishima, I really wanted to meet you," the brown haired girl said, "My name is Ochako Uraraka."
"Hello, it's nice to meet you," Izuku said as he shook her hand.
"Unfortunately we have to go. If we don't hurry, we will get severely punished," Kirishima said.
"Okay, bye Izuku. I hope we meet again," Uraraka said.
"Goodbye," Izuku said as he waved his new friend goodbye.
'What was I doing again? Oh right going home.'
THREE DAYS LATER:
"Your defense is greatly improving," Senshi committed. Izuku was blocking nearly every pole and was even scoring a few hits.
"Thank you Sensei," Izuku said as the wooden dummy stopped spinning.
"Well, I guess that's enough of the dummy," Senshi said.
"Then what are we going to do now Sensei?" Izuku asked.
"Seeing how your counters really improved your last fighting, we are going to improve that as well. Your offense also needs some work as well. There are three techniques that could help you," Sensei said.
"What techniques are those?" Midoriya asked.
"I'll tell you later. However for training, I'm going to attack you up and you need to block and counterattack," Senshi said.
"You're kidding right," Izuku nervously asked.
"Nope, you better be ready Midoriya," Senshi said.
'Oh No.'
THREE WEEKS LATER:
"So Midoriya, you've finally threw a counterattack," Senshi said. He had thrown a punched, but Midoriya had used one of the techniques and punched Senshi right in the stomach.
"Does that mean training is over now?" Midoriya asked. His face and whole body were bruised from the training.
"Yeah, go rest now. When you're healed go call me, I have another fight for you," Senshi said.
"What should I do until then?" Midoriya asked.
"Take it easy and rest. You have been training for a long time. You should take a rest every now and then," Senshi said.
"Okay Sensei," Izuku said,
"Also say hi to your Mom for me. She's a really nice woman," Senshi said.
"Sensei, you're not dating my mom are you?" Izuku asked.
"No, I'm single, for now," Senshi said, "Plus I'm more into women who put up a fight, like Hageshi Dageki."
"Oh speaking of that, I met Kirishima again," Izuku said.
"Really, how did that go?" Senshi asked his student.
"Great, he even had a friend with him that I liked. She was really nice," Izuku said.
"Wait a minute, She," Senshi turned his head to face Midoriya, "You sly dog. Did you get her number?"
"What, no I didn't," Izuku replied, "I mean she is cute." Midoriya suddenly realized what he just said and turned into a blushing mess.
Senshi laughed at his student's endeavors. "Well, did you at least get her name?" Senshi asked.
"Yeah, her name was Ochako Uraraka," Midoriya replied. Senshi put his finger on his chin.
"Uraraka, I've heard that name before," Senshi said, "But where? The construction company, no that is too obvious. Oh, now I remember, she's Hageshi's niece."
"Really, I didn't know that," Izuku replied.
"Yeah, apparently Hageshi has a sister that married a man with the Uraraka last name. I have met her sister before, but not her niece. What's she like?"
"Well, I only met her briefly, but she was really nice and friendly," Izuku said.
"You also said that she's cute," Senshi said.
"Wait no I take that back," Izuku said.
"So she's not cute then."
"No, I did not mean like that. I meant that she-" Izuku did not last long his stuttering had taken over. His words were barely understandable and not even Izuku himself understood what he was saying.
"Relax I'm just teasing you. I didn't mean it," Senshi said, "You know this kind of reminds me of the time Hageshi asked me out on a date."
"Really, can you tell me what happened?" Midoriya asked.
"Well, it all started a long time ago."
FLASHBACK:
"Hot damn, another good fight Senshi. Fifty more wins and your title as the King is assured," a short man said as he handed Senshi a huge stack of money.
"Thank you; also keep on getting me fighters like her. The more fights I have, the stronger I become," a younger, shorter and less buff Senshi said.
"You got it, with my position I can guarantee you fights with anyone in the world. Even the number 1 hero if you want. Speaking of which, have you ever given thought of fighting him? You're not getting younger," the short man asked.
"Oh I do want to fight him, but I'm not strong enough yet, However when I do, it will be the greatest fight in human history," the younger Senshi said.
"I can't wait. Well I got to go, my business can't run itself," the short man said as a group of huge looking bodyguards escorted him.
Senshi was walking down a long corridor until he heard crying. The man stopped to hear where the crying was coming from. Turning around the corner, Senshi saw his former opponent Hageshi crying. She had her head covering her arms and she was sitting down on the ground.
"What happened to you?" Senshi said. She lifted her head, revealing a black eye and a cut above her left eye. It has also revealed that she was Hageshi Dageki.
"If it's because of your injuries, I will have you know that you almost ruptured my liver and broke a few ribs," Senshi said.
"YOU ASSHOLE THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT," the woman yelled. She threw a punch at the man, but her body lost most of its strength from her injuries. It did not help that Senshi easily dodged that punch, causing the woman to fall to the ground face first.
"Sorry about that. Need help," Senshi said as he offered her a hand.
"FUCK OFF," the woman yelled. She got up on her own and tried to put on a tough face. However, her tears gave away her vulnerability. She covered her face with her right hand, but it did not help much.
"You know just because we fought each doesn't mean you should be like that," Senshi said.
"Why do you care?" Hageshi asked.
Senshi remained silent, "I had a friend who taught me that no matter who it should be I should help everyone I can."
Hageshi Dageki was baffled by the man's words. "That sounds like something a hero would say," She committed. "Well, that guy always wanted to be a hero," Senshi said.
"Fine, if you must know, I really needed the money. My sister is going through some rough times and she has a baby coming. I wanted to be a good sister and aunt to them by getting them money. So I fought you and you know the rest," Hageshi explained.
Senshi reached into his pocket before taking out the money he just previously earned. "Take it, I don't need it," Senshi said.
Hageshi hesitantly took the money, before she looked at every one of the bills, 'This is about a million yen. Are you sure you want to give this to me?" Hageshi asked.
"I don't need it. I got enough money for a lifetime. Use it however you want," Senshi said. He was about to leave until Hageshi grabbed his shoulder.
"Are you free anytime soon?"
FLASHBACK TO THE FUTURE:
"And that's the story," Senshi said to Midoriya.
"What a wonderful time that was," Hageshi said.
….
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET HERE?" Senshi asked with a shocked face.
"I have my ways," the grown woman said.
Midoriya was also surprised at the arrival of the grown woman. "We later went to my home and-"
"THERE IS A UNDERAGE CHILD HERE," Senshi yelled.
"We spent hours just doing-"
"MIDORIYA RUN," Senshi yelled.
Midoriya ran out the dojo at full speed, not looking behind him.
"Why are you here?" Senshi asked.
"Well, I kinda told my friend that I would go on a double date with her" Hageshi explained.
"Ok, what does-" Senshi finally understood what she meant.
"I promise I'll pay you back," Hageshi said, "I will even help you train your student if you want.
Senshi placed his hand on his face before reaching a conclusion. "All right, but under one circumstance, no matching clothing, that's it."
"Yippie, I can't wait for our date," Hageshi proudly said.
"Well, you better get going. You have a gym to run anyways," Senshi said.
Before she left, however, Hageshi planted a huge kiss on Senshi's lips. "Bye Shinu," Hageshi said as she left.
'Damn woman,' Senshi said in his head, trying to hide the simile on his face.
FOUR DAYS LATER:
Midoriya arrived at the destination his Sensei told him to go. After healing up, his Sensei told him to meet at this place. What Midoriya did not know was that this place was home to the biggest Karate Dojo in the world.
Kendo Karate, a dojo that is famous for its founder killing a tiger in a single attack. Despite it being around only for fifteen years, it became hugely popular. Even some heroes train here.
"Wow, you really know your stuff," Senshi committed appearing right behind Midoriya.
"AAAHHH," Midoriya yelled, "You scared me."
"Sorry about that. You were mumbling again by the way," Senshi said.
"Sorry, so what are we doing here?" Midoriya asked.
"I asked the owner of this dojo for a spare. He agreed one condition," Senshi said, "I'll show you later, but anyways you're fighting a green belt from what I heard."
"A green belt, to be honest, I thought I was going to fight a black belt," Izuku said.
"Don't have too many high hopes. They say a green belt here is on the same level as a black belt,' Senshi committed.
"If that's the case, then how's my opponent?" Izuku asked.
"To be honest, I don't even know. For I know, your opponent could be a mouse," Senshi said.
The duo entered the building; a receptionist who was working on her computer greeted them. "I was told that we should go to the top floor. That's where our appointment is," Senshi said as he guided Midoriya to the elevator. Once inside Midoriya asked a question lingering in the back of his mind.
"So sensei, do you know the owner?" Midoriya asked.
"Well, I did beat him once. This was before he famously killed a tiger in one blow thing," Senshi explained, "He most likely did that because he was upset at me. I mean, I did take off most of his teeth."
"Wait, please explain that," Izuku said.
"You'll see," Senshi said as they reached the top floor. The moment the elevator doors opened, Izuku's face was blown back by strong winds.
There were numerous people inside, all wearing black belts. They were practicing their straight punch when they noticed the duo by the elevator. "Hey Sensei, they're here," One of the black belts called out.
A large man nearly the size of Senshi came out. The man smiled, revealing that he only had half of his teeth left. "It's been so long since I saw you Senshi. How many years has it been?" the man asked.
"I believe it's been fourteen years Oikakete," Senshi replied.
"Damn, it's been so long since I had a good steak," the man now known as Oikakete said, "Well the past is in the past. Itsuka, your opponent is here."
Someone the age and size of Izuku game out of the group. "My name is Itsuka Kendo, pleased to meet you."
'A GIRL!'
Chapter 5: Izuku vs Itsuka and Senshi vs Oikakete
The orange hair girl in front of him baffled Izuku. He was going to fight a girl. He cannot do that that was not heroic.
"Before we begin," Senshi said, "What are the rules?"
"Ok, the rules are no punching the face (kicks are allowed), no grabbing or throws, and you win when your opponent stays down for ten seconds. Is that fair enough?" Oikakete asked.
"I think it's fair," Midoriya said.
"Same here," Itsuka replied.
"Well, this is good," Oikakete, said," Now things are fair on both sides. Let's have a quick stretching session before the match begin."
Senshi then felt Midoriya tug at his shirt. "Can I talk to you for a little bit?"
"Sure, is something wrong?" Senshi asked his student.
"I can't fight a girl. That's not heroic," Izuku said.
"Midoriya, do you want people to look down on you?" Senshi asked.
"No, but what does that have to do with me fighting a girl?"
"Because that is what you are doing right now. You are looking down on her just because she is a girl. It is the same thing as judging someone because they are quirkless. If that is what is on your mind, then you will lose" Senshi said.
Midoriya wanted to reply to his sensei, but could not find the right words. "Alright stretching time is over. Let's begin the fight," Oikakete said.
"Wait a second," Midoriya said, but his pleas were unheard.
Itsuka pit on a traditional karate stance, Izuku nervously put on the same stance as Itsuka. 'If Midoriya keeps on acting likes this, he's going to lose,' Senshi said on his head.
"BEGIN," Oikakete, yelled as the fight began.
Itsuka immediately dashed right towards Izuku, with a straight punch. Izuku tried to back away but failed. Itsuka threw her straight punch right at Izuku's chest. Midoriya tried his best to block Kendo's punch, but failed and took a strong punch to the chest.
'Oh no,' Izuku said in his head, 'Her punches are even stronger than I thought.'
Izuku then threw a half-forced jab with his left hand, but Itsuka easily parried it with her right hand. She then used the same hand to punch Midoriya in the chest again. Itsuka then used her left leg to do a low kick on Midoriya. HIs leg took massive damage.
Midoriya tried to perform a high kick to the face, but Itsuka easily blocked it. She then hit Midoriya again in the chest, with added even more damage to his chest.
'Any more damage and I wouldn't be able to move my hips'Midoriya said in his head.
Izuku tried to perform one of the techniques Senshi taught him, but Itsuka used a high kick right on Midoriya's face. It was a powerful kick for a middle scholar, so strong that it made Izuku fall over on his back.
It was on his back that Midoriya came to a realization.
'I know this feeling. It is the same feeling I had when Kacchan used to bully me. It is the same feeling I had when I saw Chakrii. I'm being looked down on,' Midoriya said in his head. Midoriya looked at Itsuka's face.
He saw two things, anger, and frustration. Midoriya now understands why. She knew he was holding back on her, and hated it. 'I wonder has she gone through the same thing.' Midoriya asked himself.
'I hated it when Kacchan looked down on me. I hated it when Chakrii was looking down on me. AND I HATE IT EVEN NOW.'
Izuku was not listening to the countdown before. So right we the number reached nine, Izuku leaped out of his position. He instantly put on a karate stance and had a deadly look in his eyes.
'I didn't think it was possible. However, from the look, Midoriya has unleashed his inner fury, 'Senshi said in his head.
Itsuka saw her opponent take his stance and rightfully put on her own. 'So you're finally stopped seeing me as a girl. I am happy about that, but that does not mean you are going to win. I'm not a green belt at the strongest dojo in the world for no reason,' Itsuka said in her head.
They did not move. They just stood still, preparing for the other's attack.
Midoriya broke the stall mate, dashing towards the girl. Itsuka responded by aiming a kick right towards Midoriya's face. However, Midoriya blocked it and used a straight punch right into Itsuka's chest.
'That's a lot more power than I was expecting. This boy isn't holding out anymore,' Itsuka said in her head.
Itsuka then tried to perform a high kick at Izuku. However, Izuku performed one of the three techniques Senshi taught him. The technique brought shock to everyone watching the fight except Senshi.
It was a Mawashi Uke. 'They say those who've mastered Mawashi Uke can even block fire,' Oikakete said in his head, 'Even though he's an amateur, you've been teaching him an advanced move. I have to give you more respect now.'
Itsuka dashed away from her opponent to gain distance. Izuku reacted by dashing towards the girl. Itsuka was planning this. She prepared a right punch aimed towards Midoriya's chest.
Itsuka placed her left leg upfront and placed her right hand by her hip. When Midoriya entered into her range, Itsuka unleashed her straight punch, only for her punch to miss entirely.
This shocked everyone in the room with the exception of Midoriya and Senshi. The reason for this was that Izuku moved his knee to move Itsuka's knee, making her lose balance. Itsuka started to lose her balance, and in that moment of struggle, Midoriya unleashed his final move.
Izuku placed his hand one inch in between Itsuka's stomach. He quickly closed the gap with a powerful strike to the chest.
Itsuka had never felt such a strong attack before. It nearly took her down; however, she was still standing. 'I have never used this move before in a fight, only is spars. Be glad you will be the first to handle such a move,' Itsuka said in her head.
She took a few paces back, this move-needed precision to pull it off; Itsuka is one of the few who could accurately pull off this move. Much to the surprise of Midoriya, Itsuka leaped in the air. Her right leg was up high in the air. Now was coming down at an extremely fast speed. Midoriya raised both of his arms to block the upcoming kick.
'Not even a first-degree black belt can handle this kick,'Itsuka said in her head, 'TAKE THIS.'
Itsuka brought down her leg and used a powerful kick. However, it was all for nothing.
Midoriya's block had stayed strong, much to the confession to everyone. 'It's because I've been blocking Sensei's kicks that I'm used to handling kick's like these,' Midoriya said in his head.
Itsuka fell to the ground, which allowed Midoriya to use his previous attack again. Izuku was close to Itsuka's stomach. He placed his right fist right to her stomach, which allowed him to use his special move again.
Itsuka could not take the full force of Midoriya's attack and fell to the ground. 'What the hell was that?' Itsuka asked.
The one-inch punch, a move developed by Bruce Lee himself. However, this version of the one-inch punch is different from the one Bruce Lee made. This version requires close quarters range and a lot of strength to pull off. This version of the one-inch punch is called "Dragon Shot." The man who made this technique is Shinu Senshi
'So you've taught him one of your signature moves,'Oikakete said in his head, 'Have you placed your faith that much in him.'
Itsuka was still on the ground, trying to recover from the punch. However, time was running out for the orange haired girl. The timer was currently on six seconds, four more seconds and she will have lost.
Itsuka tried to get up, but the Dragon Shot had damaged her too much. She tried using her elbows and knees to push her body up, but it did not have much effect. 'This has never happened to me before. So why is it happening now?' Itsuka asked herself
The count was now on the eight seconds; Itsuka could barely even stand on her feet. However, no matter how hard she tried, the orange haired girl could not get up.
'Please, I can't lose now. Not in my father's dojo, not in front of my father, anything but that,' Itsuka said in her head. However, despite her pleas, the count reached ten.
Itsuka Kendo had lost in her father's dojo.
The whole karate organization was stunned. They had known Itsuka ever since she started when she was ten. Despite having the potential to be a black belt, Itsuka had worked her way up the ranks, being undefeated no matter whom she fought, now that all changed. A boy who was she thought was weak and was barely able to handle Itsuka at first had just beaten her with ease.
'Midoriya has also been able to control his inner rage. A lot better than me,' Senshi said in his head.
Much to Itsuka's dismay, Izuku was the winner. The dark look in Midoriya's eyes was long gone, and Midoriya looked very normal as if nothing has happened to him.
"Well done, Midoriya, you did extremely well," Senshi said. However, Midoriya was barely paying attention, instead, he was thinking back to when he fought Itsuka.
'What was that?' Izuku asked himself. Senshi noticed the puzzled look on Midoriya's face.
"If you're wondering what THAT was, I'll explain later. But now, you need to watch," Senshi said as he walked away.
His teacher's words confused Midoriya. He then noticed Itsuka walk over to him. "That was a good match," Itsuka said as she held out her hand.
Izuku gladly shook the girl's hand.
"Looks like they made up, that's good," Oikakete said, "Now, you promised me something important and you will not leave until you fulfill your promise."
The Karate master confused Midoriya and the whole dojo. "Sensei, what does he mean?" Izuku asked.
"I heard someone one say, that for a student to learn, they must see the full power of their teacher," Senshi said.
"I heard the same thing," Oikakete said as he tightens his Gi, "To make things fair, you can make any rule you want."
The words shocked everyone watching, with the exception of Midoriya. "I don't understand, what's going on?" Midoriya asked.
"I've only seen my father act like this on a special occasion," Itsuka said, "That occasion is when he is going to fight."
'Fight!' Izuku yelled in his head, 'I've never seen Sensei fight before. Well, he did have that little encounter with Kacchan, but you could barely can that a fight.'
Izuku put his hand to his mouth. 'Now I really want to see this fight,' Izuku said in his head.
"You won't mind if I get comfortable? I really don't want to be at a disadvantage," Senshi asked.
"No, not at all" Oikakete replied, "It would be a shame to for an opponent with a disadvantage."
Senshi then took off his shirt, and what was underneath shocked the whole dojo, including Midoriya.
Scars covered the man's whole body. Some had attached across his entire back, while others were as small as hair. The scars themselves that terrified the members of the dojo, it was the amount of them. There was part of his body that did not contain a scar. Somehow, this made the man appeared even bigger than before.
That was all without addressing his physique. His body was beyond anything a human should be capable of doing. If his size was no evidence of his strength, then his muscles definitely gave it away. The man's muscles looked as thick as tree
'It's like, I'm staring at a demon,' Izuku said in his head, 'I knew Sensei was strong, but now I wonder just how powerful he is?'
However, that was not on Oikakete's mind. "Are you wearing weights? Wouldn't that bring you down?" Oikakete asked.
Senshi then moved his arm to his face. "Good observation, I am been wearing them for so long that I have forgotten that I even wear them. But do not worry, I will only take them off of you prove yourself worthy," Senshi replied.
During this conversation, Oikakete was going through a mental dilemma.
'I'm scared, staring at him now, it looks like it's the gates of hell,' Oikakete said in his head, 'I wonder if this is how Dante felt when he came to hell? You've gotten a lot stronger since we last meet Senshi.'
Despite his fears, Oikakete put on his fighting stance, with his right hand out and his left-hand position near his heart. He then placed his right leg put and his left leg inside. This was Oikakete's special fighting position that he made just for himself. No one else in the world can use this fighting stance.
Senshi then put on the exact same fighting stance.
With the exception of Oikakete, everyone in the room was shocked tremendously. Itsuka grabbed Midoriya by the shirt and brought him to her. "Midoriya, explains that," Itsuka yelled while pointing to his Sensei.
"I don't know I've never seen this before," Midoriya replied. From the way, he said it and with his body language, it was clear to Itsuka that he was telling the truth. She released the boy and sat down right next to him.
"Well, might as well watch this then," Itsuka, said. Izuku positioned himself firmly, trying to ignore the fact that a girl is sitting next to him.
"So when do begin?" Oikakete asked.
"Whenever you're ready," Senshi replied.
There was an uneasy feeling in the air. Like when two cowboys are in a duel. No one knew what was going to happen or who strike was first. Even the ones watching were sweating in anticipation.
Oikakete started the match.
He dashed towards Senshi, going so fast that he even broke the floor. Oikakete then shifted his right hand into a fist and swung towards Senshi's head. The karate master was so fast that he did all of this in one second.
Despite the quick time and speed it took Oikakete to accomplish this, Senshi was still faster. He moved his left hand to block the blow to his head. However, Senshi still took the full force of the blow. He lost his balance and was standing on only his right leg. Oikakete used this chance to strike Senshi again.
However, Senshi was faster than the Karate Master was. Oikakete tried to perform a right chop towards Senshi's neck, but Senshi grabbed Oikakete's right arm punched him in the gut with his left hand.
"ORA," Senshi yelled as he punched Oikakete.
Oikakete was thrown back and then landed on his feet.
'As I thought, this won't be an easy fight. I will have to use every technique I have to beat him. Then I can challenge my father,' Oikakete said in his head.
Senshi put on Oikakete's stance once again, putting on more defense than before. Senshi slowly got closer to Oikakete, who was starting to recover from Senshi's punch. Oikakete got up and tighten his Gi once again. Oikakete put on his usual stance, but this time was more of an attacking position.
'My father is more on the defensive when fighting an opponent. Is this man that strong or does my father wants to end this fight very quickly?' Itsuka asked herself.
Oikakete rushed again to Senshi, this time with a left punch, instead of a right. Senshi moved his hands to block Oikakete oncoming punch. However, he was shocked to discover that the Karate Master was not going to use a punch, but a far more dangerous move.
'DEVIL LANCE,' Oikakete yelled in his head. His right fingers came together to form a hand gesture resembling a spear. Oikakete aimed this attack right towards Senshi's chest, but luckily, for the black-haired man, he was able to dodge that move.
Itsuka was stunned, 'I've never seen that technique before. Why is my father using it now?'
Senshi was also wondering about Oikakete's technique. 'Why is he using THAT technique? I have never seen he use it, but I do know his father uses it. If he's just as good or nearly as good, then this will be a hard time than I thought,'Senshi said in his head.
Oikakete then turned around to face his opponent. His right hand became a fist and he lunged at Senshi. Oikakete raised his leg and brought it down on the Senshi. Senshi dodged it by dashing backward away.
'I can't just use Karate anymore. It's been so long but now I have to use THAT STYLE,' Senshi said in his head.
His stance changed. He moved into his left hand into an L shape and put it in front of himself. Senshi then moved his right hand into
'I don't understand. It looks like Sensei has gotten into a harder defense, but it looks like he has gotten softer,' Izuku said in his head.
'So you're using THAT Style now. Unfortunately for you, I already have counters against you,' Oikakete said in his head. Oikakete went into his natural fighting stance before dashing towards Senshi once again. However, Senshi stood his ground.
However, once Oikakete threw a left punch he was suddenly in the air, with his head pointing towards the ground. Senshi left hand was holding onto Oikakete's left hand. Oikakete quickly adjusted to the fact that he was in the air and threw a right kick towards Senshi's head. Senshi immediately blocked by moving his free arm in front of Oikakete's kick.
Despite Oikakete having a kick powerful enough to destroy concrete, Senshi's arm came out only with a little bruise. 'Is his arm so strong that it can withstand my father's kick? If not, then there must secret behind this,' Itsuka said in her head.
Oikakete had more than one trick up his sleeve. He then tried to launch a left knee towards Senshi's face, which connected. Blood came out of Senshi's nose as his head went back. His grip was broken and Oikakete landed on the ground.
His right hand then shifted and became larger and thicker.
Oikakete Kendo, Quirk: Stronger Hands. He can make his hands deal more 2x damage. As a side effect, it will grow a few inches bigger.
Oikakete then brought down a right chop towards Senshi's shoulder. Senshi felt his shoulder bone break instantly by the attack. This caused Senshi to fall to the ground. Oikakete saw his change and brought down another right chop aimed at Senshi's neck.
'This is the same move I used to kill a tiger,' Oikakete said in his head, 'CAN YOU HANDLE IT KING.'
'This is it. I have seen many opponents fall to this move. Even some Pro heroes can't even handle this move,' Itsuka said in her head. A simile appeared on her head.
Oikakete's hand was close to Senshi's neck when-
BOOM
A loud noise exploded, causing some eardrums to burst. Oikakete was also sent flying and crashed into the wall behind him. Senshi, on the other hand, was perfectly fine.
Senshi was currently kneeling on one leg and his right first was out. Smoke was emitting from his fist. Upon closer inspection, his training weight on his right arm was off.
"Most people think Strength is what I'm best at. I do not blame them. What they don't know, is that my greatest weapon is speed," Senshi said. He got up and walked over to Oikakete. Oikakete was currently lying down on what remains of the wall covering the storage closet. There was also blood coming off his head.
"Do you wish to continue?" Senshi asked Oikakete.
Oikakete got up and stared Senshi in the eye. "Nah, I'm good," Oikakete blankly responded.
"Are you sure? I believe you can still go on. I mean, you did break my shoulder," Senshi stated.
"I'm sure. If I continue now, we may break more than a few bones. I want to go home and kiss my wife" Oikakete replied with a small laugh.
"That makes sense," Senshi said. He then looked at his watch. "I better get going. I have a meeting to attend," Senshi said.
"Go ahead, I have nothing against it," Oikakete replied.
"Come on Midoriya," Senshi said as walked to the elevator. Midoriya got up and ran to his teacher.
"Well, what can I say? I mean you are the King of fight-," Oikakete could not finish his sentence.
Senshi, in less than a second, dashed to Oikakete and threw a full powered punch right towards Oikakete's face. However, he stopped right in front of Oikakete's face, who barely even noticed the punch coming. A gush of wind blew on Oikakete's face, indicating how fast Senshi was.
"Never Say That to Me Again," Senshi inhumanly growled.
Everyone in the room had shivers down their spines, especially Midoriya. 'What's got over him?' Izuku wondered, 'I've never seen Sensei like this.'
Senshi then walked away from the shocked Karate Master. "Let's go Midoriya," Senshi angrily said. Midoriya followed him in a sacred state.
Once they entered the elevator, the tension in the room died down. "Hmm, I didn't think it would be that big of a deal" Oikakete blankly said.
"Sh-Should we go after them?" Itsuka mumbled, still shocked after the whole experience.
"It is best that we do not, that man has personal problems. Ones that we don't know of" Oikakete replied.
OUTSIDE:
Senshi and Midoriya were walking away from the dojo, with no clear direction. Senshi was walking with an angry pace while Midoriya was walking behind him.
'God Dammit, why did I do that?' Senshi asked himself 'I put on a bad example for Midoriya and probably scared him as well.'
Senshi turned around and saw Midoriya shaking, not even wanting to look at his teacher.
'What teacher would I be if I let something like this happen to my student. If my Sensei was here he would be me with a stick,' Senshi said in his head. He turned around to face his young student.
"I'm sorry for acting like that," Senshi said spas he bowed his head to his student.
Midoriya was even more confused by his teacher's actions. First, there was that whole incident in the Dojo, and now this. "Wh-Why did you do it?" Midoriya asked.
Senshi hesitated before answering, "There is a past to me that I don't cherish, a past that I wish to be forgotten."
Midoriya understood what his mentor was saying. He hated the time when Bakugo and others picked on him. However, Midoriya had a feeling that his past was very different from his teachers.
"If you want, I can make it up to you," Senshi said. His head was still bowed down to his student.
"Alright, let's have some ice cream," Midoriya said, trying to uplift the mood.
BACK TO THE DOJO:
Itsuka was putting on her shoes. She was already wearing normal clothes and was ready to go home.
"Hello, Kendo. Are you alright?" a grown woman, already dressed asked. The grown woman had black hair, Five feet tall and had a muscular body.
"I'm fine Tomodachi," Itsuka replied. Tomodachi was another student in the dojo. She was an active member and had even become a 5th-degree black belt. She also had supported Itsuka ever since she first joined.
"Your Dad said he had to observe the damage done to the wall before going home," Tomodachi explained to Itsuka.
"Thanks, I was wondering what was taking him so long," Itsuka replied.
"He also said I can walk you home. You don't have a problem with that?" Tomodachi asked.
"No, that's perfectly fine," Itsuka, responded. The duo walked down a street together.
"I heard what happen. Are you sure that you're alright?" Tomodachi asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Itsuka, said, but it was clear something was wrong.
"Come on Kendo, are we not friends. You can tell me," Tomodachi said.
Itsuka had a face full of doubt before answering. "Well, you heard that I lost to a boy right?"
"You have a crush on him," Tomodachi assumed.
"WHAT!" Itsuka yelled out, "That's not it." However, despite her pleas, a blush formed on Itsuka's face.
"Do not lie to me. You would never talk about a boy if it wasn't for that reason," Tomodachi replied.
"We talk about that Charkii boy and you never say anything," Itsuka replied.
"Yes, but you never had a blush on your face when you talk about him," Tomodachi replied.
"I still do not. I just think that he looks a little cute and-" Itsuka stopped herself once she realized what she was saying.
"HAHAHAHA. I can't wait to tell your Dad", Tomodachi said.
"No, wait, please don't tell Dad" Itsuka pleaded.
BACK TO MIDORIYA:
"Hey, Midoriya," Senshi said, causing his student to turn to him. "Itsuka likes you."
"PFFFT," Midoriya went as of his Ice cream in his mouth went flying. "That isn't funny Sensei," Midoriya cried out.
"I'm not joking," Senshi said, "In fact, I'm dead serious."
"Oh no," Midoriya mumbled.
"What's wrong?" Senshi asked.
"If her father hears about this, he might kill me," Midoriya mumbled.
"Do not worry about her father I can handle him. It's her grandfather you need to worry about," Senshi said.
Midoriya turned to his teacher in confusion. "What about her grandfather?" Izuku asked.
"Well, to put it simply, her grandfather is the strongest karate master in the world," Senshi explained. "His strikes can pierce through boulders. Rumors say that he can predict the moves of his opponent even before they do. He has battle countless foes, some that said they could topple gods. Moreover, from what I have heard, despite being in his sixties, he remains undefeated. I think he could defeat me at full strength. That's how strong Kuroki Gensai is."
Midoriya was amazed. He knew that there were many strong people in the world. Heck, his sensei is one of them. However, he had a feeling that Kuroki Gensai was somehow more powerful than what his Sensei was telling him.
"Have you ever met him?" Izuku asked.
"Once, and there were two things that stood out about him. His intimidating aura and something I wasn't expecting," Senshi said.
"What was that?" Midoriya asked again, dying of curiosity.
"He had A ASTONISHING BEARD," Senshi yelled out.
Midoriya had a deadpan expression. 'I thought it was something some serious,' Izuku said in his head, 'But that was just silly.'
"I wish I could show it to you, it really is a sight to behold," Senshi seriously said.
"Actually I have another question. If Gensai is Kendo's grandfather, then why doesn't she have his last name?" Izuku asked.
"That's a very good question Midoriya. There is a very important reason for that," Senshi said as he began to tell a story.
FLASHBACK:
"Out of curiosity, I have to ask before I beat you till kingdom come. Why is your last name Kendo?" a younger Senshi asked as he stood above a bleeding Oikakete. "If your father is so strong, why don't you have his name?"
"There's a good reason for that," Oikakete mumbled. He smiled, showing bloody spots where teeth should have been. "It's my mother's name. I'm not as strong as my father yet, so until I beat him I will use my mother's name."
BACK TO THE PRESENT:
"And that's the reason why," Senshi explained.
'I think he's leaving some parts out,' Izuku said in his head. "I have another question. When I was fighting Kendo, I felt strange. It felt like someone else was fighting for me," Izuku wondered.
"There's a good reason for that. Do you know that little voice inside your head telling you to do bad things? Imagine that voice taking over and fighting for you," Senshi explained, "That's basically what it is. It is not a physical boost, more like a mental one. It's a rare technique that most people haven't even see, let alone heard of."
"So how did I unlock it?" Izuku asked.
"Well, it usually comes from intense anger. Although it offers no additional power, it allows fighters to use all of their strength, without holding back. This technique is called Inner Rage," Senshi explained.
"So if I use Inner rage more often than I will get stronger," Izuku said with a happy tone. However, he then felt a sharp cool presence down his neck. Turning around he saw his teacher giving him an angry look.
"Don't," his mentor said.
"Why?" Izuku nervously asked.
"Inner Rage is not a move you should use often. I gave the benefit of using it once, but that is it. Most people that use it suffer horrible fates," Senshi said, "Remember this Midoriya if you stare it the abyss look enough, the abyss stares back."
Midoriya was even more nervous than before. "I'm sorry," Midoriya mumbled.
"Don't be, you didn't know, so there's no reason for you to be sorry," Senshi said, "Any more questions you have for me?"
"Yes, why were copying Mr. Kendo's moves and stance when you fought him?" Midoriya asked.
"Well, back when I was beginning to learn Martial arts, all I did was copy my opponents. It thought it would be cool to defeat my opponents using their style. However, as time went on, I realized something about my style. Not only could I use my opponent's strengths against them, but I could also figure out their weakness. Then I combined two styles together and made a completely new style. Then combine two completely different styles into one style for one opponent, then another style for another opponent, and so on and so on."
"That sounds amazing," Midoriya committed.
"It was, but my style had three major weaknesses. One it could not mimic styles based on one's body. Say someone is small, so I cannot mimic that style since I am tall. Another weakness is that it cannot mimic styles that revolve around one's quirks. Since I cannot copy quirks, then I cannot mimic that style either. The final weakness is that it takes a longer time for me to attack. With so many options to attack, there was often a delay in my attacks. Despite all of this, my style was unique. It even had a cool name."
"What was the name?" Midoriya asked.
"Well, most people call it the Formless style, however, its real name is all for all style," Senshi proudly said.
"I think Formless style is a better name anyway," Midoriya committed.
"WELL I INVENTED IT SO I NAME IT," Senshi yelled.
"Why did you name it All for All style then?" Izuku asked in a nervous tone.
Senshi calmed down and answered his student's question, "Well there are two reasons for that. One, it is short for All styles against All opponents. I thought it was a cool phrase and one that fitted my style. Another reason was to give respect, to a friend I hold dear to my heart."
SOMEWHERE ELSE:
"ACHOO," a skinny blood man sneezed at full force. 'Maybe someone is talking about me,' he said in his head. The man was currently leaving a massive skyscraper, with a famous hero's name on it. 'You know, I wonder where Shinu is doing now?' the man said in his head.
"AHHHH, it's a villain," a woman yelled.
The man transformed into a mighty being of massive strength. "DO NOT WORRY, BECAUSE I AM HERE," the man yelled as he engaged the villain."
"You would have liked him," Senshi said, "Unfortunately we had a falling out."
"One final question, why did get angry at Mr. Kendo?" Izuku asked.
Senshi looked down at the ground. His face was full of both guilt and sadness. He then got up from his sitting position and said a statement that would haunt Midoriya to the day he died.
"There is a world of monsters, a world where the average humans cannot survive. In this world, only the strongest can rule. It is a terrible world, one where I used to live. I once ruled that world. However, I left that world a long time ago, for good reason. I want to stay away from that world, and I hope you stay as far away from it as you could."
Midoriya did not know how to comprehend his teacher's words. Was there a place that dangerous? Why did Sensei leave? Was there anything else that he was hiding? All these questions and more boggled Izuku's mind.
"On to a more important matter, I think you have comprehended striking martial arts, so now we should try grappling. However, which one should we do? Your too small for wrestling, I am not good with Jiu-Jitsu and the Gracie family hates me. Oh, I know," the last part Senshi nearly yelled out.
Placing a hand on Izuku's shoulder, Senshi said, "I'm going to teach you the Niko Style."
'THE WHAT?'
