As the World Martial Arts Tournament approached, the dojo buzzed with anticipation. Izuku and Iida had been training hard, pushing their limits and supporting each other through the rigors of their new training weights. The two friends were excited about the upcoming competition, but they also knew they had to prepare for the challenges ahead.One afternoon, after a particularly grueling session, the instructor called both boys to the center of the dojo. They exchanged curious glances, a mix of excitement and trepidation."Izuku, Iida," the instructor began, his expression serious. "You've both shown incredible dedication and progress, but it's time to step things up even more. You're each ready for the next level of training."He then revealed two new turtle shells, each more imposing than the last. The **150-pound shell** for Izuku glistened ominously under the dojo lights, while the **140-pound shell** for Iida looked equally intimidating."I'm giving you both heavier shells to wear during training. Izuku, you'll wear the 150 pounds, and Iida, you'll take on the 140 pounds. These will help you build the strength you need to perform at your best during the tournament."Izuku gulped, feeling the weight of the new shell both literally and figuratively. "One hundred fifty pounds? That's... a lot," he muttered, anxiety creeping into his voice."Trust me," the instructor reassured them. "You've trained hard for this, and the added weight will only help you grow stronger. Remember, the tournament will test not just your speed but also your power and endurance. You need to be prepared for everything."Iida stood tall, a determined look on his face. "I accept this challenge! I'll do my best to adapt to the new weight and use it to my advantage."With newfound determination, both boys strapped on their heavier shells, feeling the weight settle over their backs. Izuku took a deep breath, trying to steel himself against the burden. He could feel the strain in his muscles as he adjusted to the added weight, but he remembered his training and the progress he had made."Let's do this!" Izuku said, his voice full of enthusiasm despite the heaviness on his shoulders. As they began their training, the dojo filled with the sounds of their exertion. Each step felt like a challenge, the weight of the shells testing their limits. Izuku focused on maintaining his speed while managing the extra burden, channeling the creativity he had been honing during their training. "Come on, Izuku! Push through!" Iida called, his own movements strong and purposeful despite the added weight. "We can't let this hold us back!"Izuku nodded, drawing strength from Iida's encouragement. He found his rhythm, learning to harness the weight in a way that enhanced his movements instead of restricting them. Days passed, and while the training sessions grew tougher, they both began to notice significant improvements in their strength and endurance. They adapted their techniques, learning to move with the weight as if it were a part of them.As the tournament drew closer, Izuku and Iida felt a growing excitement mixed with a hint of anxiety. They were pushing themselves to the brink, knowing that soon they would have the chance to prove their worth as heroes. They trained harder than ever, knowing that each moment was a step toward their dreams. With the World Martial Arts Tournament just around the corner, both boys felt ready to face whatever challenges awaited them, united in their journey toward becoming true heroes.
