Who said I needed a quirk

Chapter 24: Another Performance

Momo's POV

We returned to my room to start my studies. Like last time, he set up his drones to patrol the outside of my room while he tutors me. His explanations and methods were easy to understand that I was able to do all the lessons in 5 hours. When I was finished, he said it was time for training, which made me got off my seat since I was excited to train to become a hero.

Momo: "So what are we doing for today?" I said excitedly with both my fists close to my face in anticipation of what we were going to do.

Izuku: "Before we begin, what fighting styles do you know of?" as he crossed his arms.

Momo: "Well.... I am currently learning how to use weapons. My favorite one to use is the bo staff."

Izuku: "Have you ever tried fighting without using your quirk?" where I shook my head no."Ok, I think I may know what to do for your training."

Momo: "What?" I asked as I tilted my head slightly sideways as I was curious what was the plan.

Izuku: "CQC."

Momo: "Why?"

Izuku: "To reduce the usage of using your quirk, it may be ideal to learn some hand to hand techniques so you'll have more saved up in times of emergency. The question is what to train you in, since you said you are mostly learning weapons, you have some upper-body training. Training how to use your legs may be good to even out your body muscles, but that'll take longer to train compared to the upper body." He continued his mumbling rant for a while with his index finger and thumb placed on his chin.

I was very worried for my friend/tutor, so I went out to tap him on the shoulder.

Momo: "Um, Midoriya. Are you okay?" which made him stop immediately as he looked at me in the eyes.

Izuku: "Sorry, was I mumbling?" to which I nod to.

He rubbed the back of his neck as he apologized to me. He then stated that he'll be teaching me taekwondo so that I have a good mix of fighting with my upper body strength and lower body strength. We started with some 'light' workouts to prepare using my legs, but in reality, it was some monstrous training for me. While I was complaining about the training, he said it was very light compared to his training with his sensei as he began listing off the things he had to do when he was first training. I shivered as he recalled his training, I counted myself lucky as he was giving me a fraction of what he did for training.

After working out, we began with some simple techniques as I continued repeating the same technique to get used to it. We repeated this for 2 hours until he told me it was time to stop. I dropped to my knees as I was exhausted, he then handed me a water bottle from his bag as I quickly drank it. We rested for half an hour as we resumed my academic studies. It was time for him to leave, so he recalled his drones as he said his goodbyes while he was being driven off by my family's driver. I returned to my bed as I instantly fell asleep since I was exhausted both mentally and physically. Forgetting to ask him the question of what he meant by his close connection to the song, I planned to ask him the next time he comes to visit.

Izuku's POV

It was Sunday morning, I woke up to the sound of All Might shouting that came from my alarm. I quickly went to turn it off as I slowly rose up from my bed, I looked around my room to see the collection I had, primarily All Might, among other hero merchandise. Although All Might is still my favorite hero, I still adored other heroes, which made me get their merchandise as well thanks to my allowance and job.

I quickly got up as I went to do some light research on nano-tech and recovery lipid pills. It was time for my job, which I quickly got ready for as I was nearly late to work. Nakamura-san greeted me, as always, while he asked me if I figured out what I needed. I shook my head no as I said I was still in the planning phase but I was close to coming up with an idea for a prototype. He nodded in confirmation as we got back to our work. The day ended with me coming up with some ideas for some modifications.
