No One POV

They had just hung up the call and Katsuki stood up stretching, cracking his neck and popping his back. "I think I'm going to go train for a couple hours." Katsuki told Inko as he went to head towards the stairs. "Alright, but Katsuki wait a second." Inko said making him stop. She then walked over to him putting a hand on his shoulder. "Please don't drown yourself in your training, I know you have to train a lot to get stronger but please don't drown yourself in it. Izuku would not want you to do that." She told him.

He nodded before speaking. "I won't Auntie, I promise." Katsuki said with a small smile. "Thank you." Inko said before pulling him down slightly and kissing his forehead. Katsuki then smiled and turned around and walked up the stairs. He went into his and Izuku's room and went over to the closet. He grabbed a pair of athletic shorts and changed into them. He then grabbed his phone and earbuds walking out of the room.

He grabbed his sneakers and put them on before walking out the front door. He pooped an earbud in his ear and then started playing music before pocketing his phone and earbud case. He then started running. His goal was to run five miles in at most 45 minutes. Less would be better though. He could run a mile in about 6 minutes but he couldn't run more than one mile at that speed so he was working himself to get there. Currently he was averaging about 8 and a half minutes per mile.

He finished his five mile run in 38 minutes. He smiled as he checked the time. That was his best time yet. After that he would do at least two hours of strength training, which included clearing off the beach, and then at least two hours of defense training. He rarely used his quirk while training knowing that in UA they would do mostly quirk training and he knew from Izuku that a quirk wasn't everything.

All Might had offered his quirk to Katsuki on the last day of school but Katsuki had declined knowing a quirk like All Might's would not work well with his body. It would have too many drawbacks and could even make him lose strength so he didn't want it. He never told anyone about the incident. His defense training also consisted of him closing his eyes and still doing the moves, this time to a punching bag. He did this because being a hero was not exactly safe, there were many ways he could temporarily lose his vision and he still wanted to be able to fight even without his sight

Izuku was the cause of Katsuki many excessive training styles because he had pounded it into Katsuki's head all the situations that could cause Katsuki to have to fight differently than he was used to. So Izuku teaching what to do Katsuki learned how to fight quirkless, blind, deaf, and constricted. He also learned how to get out of many types of restraints thanks to Izuku.

Izuku was really smart. Izuku would a lot of the time train with Katsuki. When he had first started the extra parts of his training he had fought against Izuku. He lost, a lot, because Izuku was fighting normally while Katsuki was fighting without one of his abilities or senses. But as Katsuki got better and started to beat Izuku, Izuku helped him to figure out how to go against inanimate objects. This helped Katsuki as he could easily punch or kick as hard as he wanted to. Izuku would call out things, or throw things at him if he was training deaf to try to make things harder. Anything to get Katsuki off track.

Being a hero isn't easy, and Izuku wanted Katsuki to be the best he could possibly be. If this meant training deep into the night, or till he was possibly drenched in sweat he would do it. Now he could train every day and push past his limits. And he would, he would do it all for Izuku. He had already put his application in for UA and he had gotten the letter about the entrance exam. He was determined to do his absolute best on it. He still had about one month before the entrance exam and he was going to use that to his advantage.

By the time Katsuki was done with his training it was almost 8 o'clock. He sighed before collecting his few things and then starting on his five mile run back home. He made it there in 42 minutes which wasn't as good as that afternoon, but that was to be expected after a full day of training.

He arrived at the Midoriya household and opened the door walking in. He kicked off his shoes before heading upstairs. He was just about to hop in the shower when his phone buzzed. He checked and saw that it was a Snap from Izuku. He opened and smiled before responding. He then put his phone down and hopped in the shower washing off all the sweat that had accumulated on his skin. He took a good 15 minutes to shower.

After he was finished he hopped out drying himself off putting on a pair of gray sweatpants. He then draped a towel around his neck due to the water dripping off of his hair. He walked downstairs and walked over to the microwave and saw a plate of dinner in it. He smiled to himself warming the food up before taking it out and grabbing chopsticks dug into the food.
He was quite hungry after his training and Inko always knew this, considering he ate significantly more after his long training sessions with Izuku. So whenever he would go out to train she would make quite a bit more food, and if they got home late she would plate it up and put it in the microwave.

Katsuki always made sure to thank her the next morning because she really didn't have to do that for him. She always did and Katsuki couldn't appreciate it more.
