Touya's POV:

Once finished with my bath. The search was on for more materials to make traps again. By the time I had finished the last one. I had just laid down for a nap. When all of a sudden I feel the presence of a large shadow over me. I opened my eyes to see golden eyes looking back at me.

"Hi there."

He says with a cheerful grin.

"Who the fuck are you?!"

I say in a startled tone as I desperately feel for my knife.

"My name is hawks, but you can call me keigo, Okay Dabi?"

I place my blade to his throat and pin him to the ground. By wrapping my legs threw his and shifting my weight to make him fall.

"Are you spying on me for that bastard? You know, you're the dumbest of his assassins so far."

"Look I'm just trying to help you get out of here that's all Dabi I swear. Traps will only get you so far. Enji is too smart to fall for one and you know this to be true. Let me train you in hand to hand combat. Afterwards you can throw me away to rise out of the labyrinth."

^Is this idiot for real? Why would he sacrifice himself for me? We don't even know each other.^

I was lost in thought until I recognized his smile from a dream I had many years ago. So I pulled my blade away. He smirks and flips me around with a new move I've never seen before. Reversing our positions so he's got me pinned down.

"First rule is to never let your guard down."

"How the hell are you gonna train me in time? We only got three months left before this place is set to burn down."

"That's easy because you'll be strong enough within one month."

Keigo gets off me and offers a hand to help me up. I stubbornly refuse to take it and pull myself up. As I walk passed him. I quickly try to stab my. Only for keigo to respond my catching my arm in motion.

"Well shit, I guess you are pretty strong. Don't think for a moment that we'll be friends. Once the month is up, I will kill you."

He turns my arm and sweeps my legs out from under me. With a quick throw. I ended up on my back instead of a faceplate.

"Sounds like a deal to me.
