The weekend had already passed, and today was Monday.
"Young Midoriya!" I heard a voice boom behind me. It was All might. "I have someone who would like to meet you. They're in my office."
"So who are they?" I asked, following him down the hall.
"My old teacher." He said. "He knows about One for All and he wants to help you harness it."
We entered the office. There was a man in a white costume and a yellow cape. He had a black mask over his eyes. Not only that, but he was short. Really short. Honestly, I wasn't sure if this was the guy All Might was talking about. How could this shirt old man help me. The next thing I knew he zoomed of, and began bouncing of the walls. He was going so fast I could barely see him. He kicked me in the face causing me to fall back.
"Again." He said. "But this time try and hit me."
He was fast. There was no way I could hit him. The next thing I knew he was flying at my face. I dodged, which surprised him. As he jumped back, I grabbed his leg. He twisted around, causing me to flip onto my back.
"Your good, but not nearly good enough." He said.
"Who are you?" I asked getting up.
"Gran Torino. I will be training you." He replied.
"I'll leave you guys to it." All Might said, closing the door as he left.
"Throw a punch." Gran Torino said.
"I can't, it would break my arm." I replied.
"Think of One for All as a switch. You can turn it on and off, but at the moment all you are doing is turning it on a few seconds at a time." He said, "What you need to do is leave it on. Allow it to run through your body."
"I think I get it." I replied.
"OK, well now try."
I could feel one for all running through my veins. I was doing it. Green electricity crackled from my body.
"Can you move like this?" He asked.
"I can try." I said.
I lifted a foot. It was hard, but eventually I could run. I wanted to move like Kacchan. That way my fighting skills would be maximised.
That night, I trained in an alleyway, using One for All to bounce off the walls. I could barely make it past two jumps, but after two weeks, I could use 10% of One for All. And I could move like Kacchan. I was happy with myself. At the end of the weekend Gran Torino left. He said that his job here was done. He was a good teacher, but he was a bit strange.
"Kacchan!" I said. It was lunch break on a Monday.
"Yeah?" He said, turning around as I ran towards him.
"I can use 10% without breaking any bones!" I said.
"Since when?" He said, furrowing his eyebrows.
"All Might's old teacher has been coaching me on how to use One for All this past week." I replied.
"That's great!" Kacchan smiled, "Do you think that means you can beat me?"
"I don't know, I guess we will find out." I laughed.

We made our way back to class. As we entered, Ururaka stopped us.
"Hey." She said, "The whole class is going to the mall on Saturday this week, do you guys want to come?"
"Sure." Deku said.
"I guess..." I said.
"Awesome!" She said.
We took our seats.
