Izuku wasted no time in getting ready for tonight, and the week in general. His villain suit and mask had been repaired so he would be able to go out without anyone recognising him which was a relief. However, he was still nervous.
Following their encounter, he extensively researched Stain's career as the hero-killer. He discovered he had killed at least seventeen pro heroes and his most recent attack, which was during the festival, was on Ingenium. The turbo hero was not dead, he had been found and taken to hospital where he was currently in critical condition and undergoing treatment. What was strange however were the effects of Stain's murders in which crime rates decreased.
On a side note, he was angry that Razor was unavailable (again) to tell him about herself. Apparently, Sensei had sent her out on another job, or so Kurogiri said. Either that or she was purposely avoiding him, though he somehow doubted it. Razor did not seem like the type to run from her problems.
Izuku packed his taser, grappling hook, some knives, some ice grenades (made by him) and several doses of regeneration drug. Kurogiri provided some cash to last him the week and a phone. He didn't know what he would be up against this week, so it was best to be prepared.
"Well, it's nearly 8. I'd better go and see Kurogiri," he said to himself before exiting the room.

"So, you're here," the hero-killer greeted him. "Good, then we can get started."
"Before we do, I'd like to know exactly what we'll be doing," Izuku replied. "If that's alright."
Stain frowned.
"Well to put it simply I'll be going through knife skills and working on your senses and mobility. I will also be attempting to teach you how to channel your killing intent," Stain explained.
Izuku was slightly surprised. Those were things that Razor could have taught him herself, so why would she want him to learn from this man. Maybe it really was just a way to give him a break from the League. However, he was curious about this killing intent.
"From the look in your eyes I can tell your wondering why Razor isn't going to teach you these things herself," Stain assumed.
Izuku internally cursed. Why was he so easy to read?
"When she said this was an educational experience it wasn't a joke. While you are with me, I shall be teaching you my way of life. The way I see the world," Stain told him.
He then started jumping from wall to wall until he was at the top of a building.
"Follow me," he called out to Izuku.
Seeing no reason to disobey Izuku started to do the same thing but used his grappling hook to bring him the rest of the way. As soon as he'd reached the top Stain motioned him to come over and sit with him on the edge.
"Before we start, I think it would be best if we get to know each other a little first. So go on tell me a bit about yourself," Stain told Izuku.
Izuku hesitated for a moment. Then he decided that if he was going to work with this man, he was going to have to get along with him.
"I'm 15. I lived with my mother until I joined the League. My hobbies are quirk analysis, science and reading. My work for the League involves the first two hobbies. Also, I don't know if Razor told you, but I happen to be quirkless," Izuku told the hero-killler.
Stain didn't appear phased by this.
"I'm 31. My parents died a long time ago. Up until about three years ago, I worked as a vigilante called Stendhal and eliminated criminals until a certain incident changed all of that. My hobbies include martial arts, listening to music and sword collecting. And my primary goal is to rid society of the false heroes who plague and corrupt it," Stain explained. "By the way, Razor did tell me you were quirkless, but I couldn't care less about that. The fact that you do not possess the quirk doesn't mean that you are weak."
