Waves Find Their Land

Chapter 88: Workout

Once they finished breakfast Izuku decided that he should get some training in. But not hero training. He needed to get a workout in.

As he got dressed Eri came up to him, "D-Deku?"

Izuku looked down, "What is it Eri?"

"W-Where are you going?"

"Oh Im just going for a workout."

"W-Workout?"

"Oh. Well it's basically a physical activity. It helps to make me stronger and faster."

"C-Can I see?"

He picked her up with a smile, "Sure! But I should warn you other people are going to be there."

"P-People?"

"Yeah. Some of my classmates. But don't worry. They have all been informed about what is going on. So they won't approach you."

"R-Really?"

He nodded, "They won't unless your ok with it. I promise."

"O-Ok."

Izuku then carried Eri to the gym.

Once they got their Izuku sat Eri down on a chair, "Here you go. If you need me just come up to me. Ok?"

She nodded, "O-Ok."

Izuku then went over to the weight rack and picked up two 150 pound dumbbells.

He then started doing Bicep Curls.

As he was doing this Kirishima came over, "Hey dude! Damn those look heavy. How much?"

"150 pounds each."

"Geez! I can at most lift 80 pound weights."

"Well I have to be strong. My body constantly has to be getting stronger to handle the constant increased strain One for All puts on me."

"Constant? What do you mean? I thought you were already at max."

"One for All hasn't quit growing. Yagi said One for All seemed to quit growing in strength after he had it for six years."

"But didn't he keep getting stronger after that?"

"Yes. He built up muscle mass. In his muscle form he is seven foot and three inches. Weighing around six hundred pounds. Almost five hundred and sixty of those pounds are pure muscle. The rest is a small amount of body fat, insanely dense bones, organs, blood, and all the other crap a human has. He also got better at controlling his strength. Conserving his energy until he needed to use it."

"What do you mean?"

"Have you ever seen dragon ball super and the dragon ball super hero movie?"

He nodded, "Yeah what about it?"

"Well in the movie Vegeta mentions that Jiren was about equal to him and Goku in raw strength. The difference lies is how efficiently he used it. Even in the heat of battle Jiren was free from tension in both body and mind and remained totally relaxed until the moment he attacked. An attack that starts from nothing makes the opponent almost never able to predict and immensely powerful. It also allows you to conserve energy. Yagi told me he had to train his mind to do this."

"How long did that take?"

"He was able to do it almost perfectly on instinct a year before he fought All for One the first time."

"You say almost."

"Yes. Yagi said that at times he couldn't do it."

"But why would he do that?"
