Izuku's POV

After coming to my senses from the shock about the secret bunker that my sensei has, a question popped into my head.

Izuku: "Um sensei. What's the point of firearms as a hero? I can understand the different variety of CQC, archery, and throwing projectiles since there are less-lethal options to them depending on how I use them, but with firearms, if I use it incorrectly, I can accidentally kill somebody." as I look at my right hand forming a fist at the thought of accidentally killing someone.

Sensei just sighs as he walks towards me, where I was met with a smack on the back of my head, causing me to fall to the ground face first. While he was looking at me, he began to speak:

Akio: "And I thought you said you were ready." as he now walks away from my body, "I'm preparing you to survive using anything you have. Although firearms are a less desirable choice of a tool to a hero, there may be options where you may rely on firearms when your arrows or throwing projectiles can not pierce your opponent or your CQC knowledge may not be enough to subdue your opponent. Besides, who says firearms have to use bullets, you can substitute it with rubber bullets or those pellets so you can get range. Now get up, there are a lot of procedures in safely handling a firearm." he begins to walk over to the mounted firearms.

I slowly got up from the ground while I was taking in what sensei had just said. Although I dislike using guns, I know he was right; I'm a person who is quirkless, so I must use everything I have if I want to survive in the world of heroes and villains. I then walked over to sensei with a new look of determination on my face to which he smirks at.

Akio: "Good. I can see the same look in your eyes when I first met you after your loss against my grandson. Now let's begin." he begins to grab a small handgun where he says it's the 9mm pistol.

He quickly gave me a quick tutorial on how to handle the handgun as he started shooting the paper targets that were hanging from the ceiling. I took a mental note of everything he was saying along with his movements when firing.

Then came my turn to fire the gun. At first, I shot the outer part of the target, which I was lucky I didn't miss entirely thanks to my archery skills, but after hours of repeated firing, I became closer to firing at the center of the target until I managed to hit the center of the target. My ears were deaf from all the shots I was firing but I saw my sensei smiling as he handed me a drink. Although it was muffled due to the ringing in my ears, I can still hear him talking about the faults in my practice, which I just chuckle at since this was a daily routine for him to do after I was finished training.

Daichi's driver came to pick me up as I bowed down to say goodbye to my sensei. We then picked up Daichi from his martial arts class, to which I still don't understand why he chose to remain in that class when I find his grandpa a better teacher, but he doesn't want to talk about it much so I didn't pry too much into it. We later arrived at his place where his sister was waiting for us on the couch watching TV while Suzuki-san was busy making tea in the kitchen.

Hiro: "Hello there young master Tanaka and young Midoriya."

Ichika: "Hey there Onii-chan and Izu-niichan." as she smiled at us.

Daichi: "Oh what. No surprise hugs for your big bro. I miss the clingy sister who would always cling to me and show a sad face wherever I left." he said teasingly.

Ichika: "Ba-baka." as her face turned red and made an adorable pouting face which she then turned towards the TV.

Ichika stopped giving out her traditional hugs a few months after her fourth birthday and started having fun playing around with her quirk. I just laughed at their antics as I settled my bag down.
