( City Z - Bang's Dojo )

"...126, 127, 128" counted a sweaty Mumen Rider, performing push ups in the middle of Bang's dojo while shirtless. Since he isn't wearing his Hero costume, it's revealed that he has short brown hair and wears oval-shaped glasses that obscures his eyes.

"I must admit, it's good to see a fresh new face training in my dojo" chuckled Bang while he takes a sip of his tea. The martial arts master is sitting on his knees while watching the newest student of Deku perform his daily exercises. "If you want, I could always-"

"Not a chance. You've got your own students so don't you try stealing one of mine" interrupted Izuku Midoriya who is sitting on the floor beside Bang with his legs folded. Genos is sitting on the other side of Izuku while leaning back and watching his fellow student, Mumen Rider, perform his push ups.

"Perhaps a trade?"

Izuku deadpans at Bang and casts a glance at Bang's longest remaining student, Charanko. Charanko is a young man in his early twenties who has messy light-coloured hair and wears a white karate gi. Said student is currently sitting on his knees a distance away, dozing off and trying to make it look like he isn't. "I don't think so."

Bang grumbles, but accepts it. Ever since the incident, Bang had lost most of his students with only Charanko deciding to stay. Thankfully, teaching martial arts to the students in Hero Academy has led to several joining his dojo for further training, although at the moment, most are currently working on their homework assignments, hence why they aren't training in the dojo right now. Probably for the better anyway, since he doubts that the students would get much training done while Deku and Genos are present.

"By the way, I've been meaning to ask you something, Midoriya" said Bang, placing his cup of tea on the floor. "Word around the grapevine says that you recently asked Child Emperor to build you something quite big and expensive."

Izuku shakes his head and points at his newest student who's nearing his push up quota, although he appears to be struggling. "Not for me. For my newest student over there."

Bang nods his head in understanding. "Ah, I see. You appear to be putting in a lot of effort on training Mumen Rider. I'm curious, what is it about that man that has caught your interest?" he asked, although he has an idea.

Gently, Izuku smiles over at Mumen Rider and for a moment, he instead sees himself from ten years ago struggling to do the push ups. "I see a Hero who can look into the face of evil itself and not flinch. Powerful or not, Mumen Rider will stand up to any threat so he can protect the lives of the innocent, even at the risk of his own life. He has the heart and soul of a true Hero and I plan to nurture that."

Bang smiles as well, having thought that to be the reason. Genos is much the same, but the cyborg has the strength and firepower to match his Heroic status. Mumen Rider is just a C-Class Hero who's more known for helping civilians with simple tasks that other Heroes would often ignore, like saving cats from trees. However, those simple, but kind acts has kept Mumen Rider as the top ranked Class C Hero for nearly eight months now, which is actually pretty impressive.

"I'll admit, there's another reason I decided to take him on as my student" said Izuku, being honest with Bang.

"Oh? Do tell" asked Bang, more than a little curious. He didn't think there was another reason for Midoriya taking on Mumen Rider as his disciple. Genos who has mostly been watching Mumen Rider perform his exercises perks up, looking just as curious as Bang.
