"There's no easy way to do it, there is?"

Midoriya thought with himself as he looked around the corner of the common room, spotting a yellow shirt with a pink heart floating on the couch. Hagakure was watching one of those novels on the TV and was by herself, which kind of made it easier to get to her. The problem was what to say, how to address the huge elephant in the room. She wouldn't willingly talk to him so Midoriya had to think of an excuse, anything that would give him an opening to talk about the situation between her and Uraraka. Hopefully he could think of a way of return things back to normal, or at least close to it.

He checked all the variables. Yaoyorozu was studying on her room, Asui was at the pool and Ashido was at the gym practicing break dance. Alone like that, she would be more easily persuaded, but that wasn't enough. There had to be some spectators when he went to her, in a way that she would feel too embarrassed to say no or just flee. Cruel, yes, but necessary. And right on time Kirishima, Tokoyami, Kaminari and Sero entered through the main door, talking about anything. That was Midoriya's chance. He quickly walked towards the couch and lightly tapped on Hagakure's shoulder, making the yellow shirt turn around, and when it did, it jumped up a bit, accompanied by a small squeal.

"Mi-Mi-Midoriya?!"

"H-Hi, Hagakure-san! Are you busy right now? I was t-thinking if you could h-help me out on a new training I thought about"

"T-training you say... I'm kinda busy with, umm, well I-"

"Please Hagakure-san, just for today"

Midoriya even bowed a little and put his hands together, getting the attention of the small group passing by as he planned, and Hagakure noticed them too. They had curious faces because when they left to the gym she was still watching TV, not that they should cafe that much for her business, but it wasn't exactly the definition of 'busy' if you asked them.

"I, umm... what kind of training was it, Mi-Midoriya...?"

They were at one of the many dojos of U.A, using one of the judo tatamis for the 'training'. On one side stood Midoriya, doing some stretches and inwardly harnessing all his might to put his plan on action. On the other side, Hagakure just stood there, looking right and left and shifting from one foot to another. There was no one around on that gym and Midoriya never said he had in mind, neither why her help was so needed, which only made the invisible girl even more anxious. Had her other friends been around when he asked, she would have denied on the spot but for some reason she didn't found the strength in herself to do so. Or so she thought. The next time she glanced at the green haired teen, he was done with his stretching and with a blindfold on himself.

"Mi-Midoriya, what's with the blindfold?"

"Oh, that? Well, I had been thinking about training my combat skills, focusing on reaction time and some kind of awareness of the surroundings"

"And... wouldn't Ojiro-kun or Todoroki-kun be better options?"

"Maybe in combat, but you're the best when it comes to stealth. And I know you don't like when others see you undressing, so the blindfold is for that"

That caught Hagakure off guard, both the compliment and the consideration for her. After what had happened, she was sure that Midoriya was a shameless guy with a shy personality as a disguise, which made him somehow even more dangerous than Mineta, but right now that image of him fell down. The young man took a defensive stance and readied himself.

"Alright, I'm ready. You can hit me from any direction you want and in whatever way you think of, and I'll try to block"

"Are you sure about this?"
