Every other day Izuku and Bakugou went to train Izuku's quirk at his house and on the other they went to Bakugou's house to train his.

This continued every day for months before one day Izuku saw a hero fighting without using a quirk, the man was wearing a suit and had a piercing glare as he yelled for everyone to move back.

The villain stood a full head taller than him with far more muscle and power, but the man still dodged and parried blows that broke the asphalt beneath his feet, he returned those attacks with well timed blows with an expression showing ironclad willpower while fighting someone that could likely kill him with one blow, as the fight raged on and as he was pushed back, he gradually chipped away at the villain towering over  him.

With every aimless strike thrown at him the hero threw two with twice the speed and twice as precise, he hit his jaw, his wrists, kicked the back of his knees. Every vulnerable part he could reach, each blow colliding with the same spot as the last, and after what felt like hours, finally, the villain fell to the ground unconscious with a final well timed blow.

Izuku stared at the man in amazement, he only recognized the hero after he pushed up his glasses.

Izuku spoke up, shaking in amazement, "Nighteye... Allmights sidekick!"

As nighteye handcuffed the villain, he turned to his mother, "how did he do that? His quirk let's him see the future so how did he hit so hard?"

Inko looked down to him with a shaking smile. "He trained, anyone could do that if you work hard enough..." she looks back to the smashed road and shattered walls, "though he is probably one of the few that could do that on his own..."

Izuku stares forward in amazement. "I want to do that..."

Inko did the same with thinly veiled horror.

While they quickly walked home Izuku wouldn't stop talking about it, eventually he realized that to be a hero he would have to learn to fight, he couldn't just let Bakugou fight villains alone!

Well... alone as he could get with copies of himself running around beside him.

After getting home he eventually managed to convince his parents to let him train like the hero he saw, the next day they reluctantly brought him to a small gym where Izuku would be trained in self defense. It wasn't a big place and it was basically a glorified self defense class, but Izuku went there every day afterschool, Bakugou quickly followed after he found out about it and was beyond pissed that he wasn't told about it sooner.

They trained and sparred, and as time passed they got better and better, their forms refined, their bodies stronger and faster, and their strikes more accurate than they could have possibly managed while training on their own.

Bakugou learned that it was better for his body to be centered around his strength, to take the impact of his own quirk and to dish out devastating blows.

While Izuku learned that he could never really match up to Bakugou in that department. But he was fast and flexible, the teacher had to practically force him into a different training regimen than Bakugou because he wasn't getting anywhere with it, but once he was on the right path he was a force to be reckoned with.

Izuku found it was far easier to beat an opponent if they couldn't hit you back, he was fast and could dodge well but Bakugou sometimes didn't bother blocking and just traded blows, that caused him one too many bruises and far too many losses.

So he needed to switch tactics.

If it was a straight fight he would never beat him. He would always lose if he simply played by bakugan rules. the easiest way to win was to latch onto him and restrain his arms in one way or another.
