There became an issue in 'hunting' with toga, it was Himiko's clothes. She wore the same school uniform before she met Izuku. Not to mention she's still a known killer so some people might recognize her. That would only cause problems for them. If Himiko was seen going around with him, someone known by the police to have All For One, she'd be targeted by the police as someone weaker. It's not true, Himiko could probably take him on with just the quirks she has and her own skill, but many police and heroes were more willing to risk their lives than risk their quirks, not that Izuku would take them. With some effort, Izuku managed to find a coat for her to wear. It was a bit long but it'll work. 

The first night they went out they managed to find a woman mugging a little boy. Izuku jumped down from the rooftop to attack the woman while Himiko grabbed the kid and took him away from the scene of the crime. When she came back to the scene she found the pitiful sight of Izuku struggling to take out the woman despite her not having any offensive quirk. It wasn't until Himiko stepped in with her knives that the battle ended. 

When everything was over Himiko turned to Izuku and asked, "What was that!?" 

Izuku stood over the woman, taking her quirk before turning back to Himiko. 

"What?" Izuku asked, to which Himiko faced palmed. 

"You don't know how to fight do you?" Himiko asked, giving Izuku a look all too similar to the times Dabi would scold Izuku for being too reckless. 

Izuku became embarrassed at his lack of skill and sheepishly replied, "No..." 

Himiko sighed and said, "Come on, we're going back home and I'm teaching you how to fight." 

"Okay..." said a shamed Izuku. He never really learned how to fight besides just using his quirks and dodging as many hits as possible. Izuku knew he'd need to learn how to fight but just assumed he'd be able to learn as he went along. Himiko had a point though. Izuku lost his last fight and was severely struggling in his latest one. He wasn't sure how long it'd be until he defeated this villain if it wasn't for Himiko helping him. While just using his quirks worked in the beginning, the police and heroes are looking for him now and it's only a matter of time before he's defeated due to his pitiful levels of stamina.  

When Himiko and Izuku returned home, they shed their costumes and went outside, "Okay, turn off all your quirks." 

"W-what!?" a nervous Izuku asked. Himiko immediately gave him a glare that promised pain if he didn't comply. "U-understood," a suddenly terrified Izuku responded. 

The resulting training left Izuku lying on the ground with cuts and bruises all over his body. It wasn't until Himiko said their training was over that Izuku could activate Regeneration to heal his wounds. It also had the added benefit of dealing with his sore muscles but did end up leaving him very hungry. Luckily koumori-san was more than willing to feed them whenever they came.

Izuku changed his schedule so he would go out as a vigilante every few nights and train with Himiko every other night. Thanks to Thought Acceleration, Izuku was able to learn everything Himiko taught him faster. It was like increasing the download speed of a computer. Over time Izuku's fighting skills increased. He was nowhere near Himiko's level, but it was good enough for him to get a few extra quirks. 

silence (Emitter): This creates an area around the user where nothing inside can be heard. This area can be extended to cover multiple people or things if they're in close proximity. If kept active too long, the user will lose the ability to focus on any task.*The original user was a pervert and used this quirk to perve on women in the gym bathrooms. Izuku only knew about this since Himiko was able to sense his blood allowing them to track him to an alley.

Durability (Mutant): Makes the user resistant to physical damage and harmful substances. This doesn't make the user completely invulnerable, just harder to hurt. *The original user was an old man killed in a mugging gone wrong. Izuku took the quirk since he could reason the man wouldn't be using it anymore.

Kinetic Miltiplyer (Emitter): Multiplies the kinetic output of the user from anywhere up to times ten their original strength. Increasing this too far causes the user to be damaged by the backlash. *The original user was one of the muggers who killed the user of Durability. Neither Himiko nor Izuku was very kind towards these man.

Strength Multiplier (Emitter): multiplies the user's strength to times ten their original strength. Increasing this too far causes the user to be damaged by the backlash. *The original user was part of the mugging to the user of Durability.

When Izuku wasn't out quirk hunting or training with Himiko he would write notes about the quirks he had.

Regeneration (Mutation): It's strong enough to close up most cuts in minutes to seconds. The injury would leave a scar.

Vocal Manipulation (Emitter): Gives the user the ability to manipulate their voice. The user can easily recreate the voice of anyone they've heard perfectly. It's even to the point where the user can speak in multiple voices at the same time. 

Thought Acceleration: Increases the speed at which the user thinks allowing for effortless multitasking. When high on adrenaline, the user's perception increases, allowing the user to perceive events as though they're moving at a fraction of their true speed. 

 If for no other reason than to keep track of them. He was also about ready to go out and find whoever explained Himiko's quirk to her and give them a piece of his mind. They called her quirk a transformation quirk!? Izuku had to sit Himiko down and explain that her quirk was not a transformation quirk since it didn't change her body, it produced something that took the shape of someone else. That's what the sludge her quirk produces is. 

Eventually, Izuku made a full list of all the quirks he had.

Izuku wasn't able to get any more quirks before something more major happened to him. It was currently daytime and Izuku and Himiko were walking around a residential area. They'd just gotten the groceries they'd need for the next week. Both Izuku and Himiko were wearing masks Himiko had on her beanie and Izuku had on his hood.

They were simply walking home, or skipping in Himiko's case until Izuku saw him.
