Chapter 12: Refreshing Shock

Izuku waited for the old man who had still yet to introduce himself to the young boy to wake up but began walking around. He observed that the house was very basic with mainly the essentials and not much luxury. Once the man awoke Izuku smiled. "Morning sleepy head. Now would you mind introducing yourself before we do anything else." The old man looked around and realized he had been knocked out. "I'm Gran Torino I was a pro for a short time who taught at U.A when All-Might was there. Secondly why didn't you use that power in the sports festival?" 

Izuku hesitated to answer but decided to be honest. "Well to be honest I wasn't sure if my coin would be allowed in a fight and the stadium didn't have any metal in it for me to do my attack. Also I knew you were at a safer distance so you wouldn't get too injured but an inexperienced person at a close range could of been severely hurt." Gran Torino smiled. "Well that's a well thought out idea and I guess I underestimated you. I thought that your own inexperience would lead to you not being able to control your output but you seemingly know your output and though you can't fully control it you know the devastation you could cause. Listen kid we are going on a trip tomorrow night so for tonight I want you to practice only One for All to see what you can do with it I expect an improvement tomorrow for the test fight before our trip." With that Gran Torino went back to sleep but this time went to his actual bed after placing a pillow and blanket on the couch for Midoriya. 

Izuku began wondering what should he do with One for All but he knew he had busted his arms after the shockwave accident awhile ago. He knew he couldn't focus on punches due to the lack of practice and if he over did it on his arms he may never use them again. He began looking to his other quirks and how he used them. His lightning was a much more long range attack mainly but he could amplify his strikes with the lightning so that didn't help. Shockwaves were similar to his lightning but he used them more often for mobility and speeding up or slowing attacks. He remembered his reaper form but quickly dismissed it again since it was more of a defense tactic as his scythe was out preformed by his other quirks close and long range capabilities. 

He quickly went to his backpack and realized he had dozens of heroes quirks, combat styles, and possible applications in his journals to see if he could find another fighting style. Then he found exactly what he was looking for. He had no idea how he hadn't thought of it before, it was so obvious but I guess that's why he overlooked it he could use Muay Thai. It was rarely used anymore due to the emphasis on quirk battles and not having close range fights. Those with close range quirks generally had a punching scheme but if he add Muay Thai he would be adding kicks along with many other strikes to his arsenal and would become deadly at all ranges. 

The whole night Izuku began researching different Muay Thai strikes and began practicing them with and without One for All to add even more variety to his attacks by changing speeds and power of certain strikes. The one thing he knew was that at first his Muay Thai would be significantly weaker against someone who had started doing it sooner as his bones would still need to be strengthened but that would come from time and practice. 

He went to rest after the training and then he began to dream again, but this time he was in an unfamiliar place and saw the presence he knew could mean death. Stain he was standing in front of him but his dream made him not scared and quickly there was abilities being thrown at Stain he knew he didn't have including clones, fire and telekinesis. Izuku's mind began rushing as the fight continued Izuku's dream body being mangled and then Stain stood over him about to stab his face when a pillar of ice erupted from the wall then another and another until Stain was just there unable to move. Izuku stood up and then he felt anger boiling in him as he placed his hand on the hero killer Stain's head and suddenly he awoke. 

There was sweat dripping from the boys face and he had problems breathing but quickly realized it was still early so he got up and went into the back of the building where he wouldn't be seen. He began meditating searching for something unfamiliar that he knew would be there. Izuku struggled but eventually found it and began trying to tap into it but quickly felt himself dragged into a pure white room.
