"Run it back, do it again Zero" Greed called out to him. Zero grunted in reply and stood in the sandy opening of the beach. His brothers were out far away from him mastering their own Quirks, while Greed was drilling him on how to master King's first set of Quirks.

Zero held fists at his side and his mind played a flashback about what happened to him in the past weeks. Once he got out of the school infirmary, Katsuki texted Lust what he missed in class; since he got permission to skip class.

The Sports Festival date was announced.

They were giving students two weeks to prepare for a festival that would determine who they'd have their internship with. When the subject arose to the rest of the brothers, Greed decided to have all the brothers train. Keeping up with his word, he'd been lightly training Zero, teaching him the best stances for each ability King possessed.

But Greed decided that if he wanted Zero to get stronger, he must throw him into training headfirst.

With that mentality, Greed dragged Zero out of bed at midnight and taught him the basics.

He stood in front of Zero and began to speak about King's first set of Quirks.

"When I first came to be, King had, what he called, his First Set. He is able to control Fire, Earth, Water, Air, and Electricity"

Greed motioned Zero to sit on the ground. He held up his right hand and fire engulfed it.

"Fire is double-sided. Within it holds beauty and discovery- if you dance to the beat of its' drum. If you let fire dance to your beat, then it's a fight. Every punch holds no hesitation. In order to master it, you must master intense and aggressive attacking styles that look as graceful as a waltz"

His hand turned back to normal and he held his hands out. Zero gave him his hands and Greed took them and started to rub them together. He slowly pulled them apart and a mini lightning storm pulsed between each palm.

"For electricity, you make the current. In order to master electricity to its' fullest, you must produce positive and negative energies internally before directing it outwards. If left in you for too long, it can kill you from the inside since electricity is known for being precise and deadly"

The waves of the beach swam towards them and Greed held a ball of water in the air. It hovered above his hand while Zero kept the steady electricity in his hands.

"Water acts in concert with the environment. You must let your defense become your offense, turning your opponents' own forces against them. When you choose to take your attack stance, your motions must move as if they are flowing from one river and to another"

Greed looked at his water and then at the electricity in Zero's hands.

"Apart they are equally powerful, but together they equal death"

Greed placed his water ball into the electricity and it began to hum with energy. Zero's palms got hot but it was bearable heat. The blue static strands turned neon and settled for one green strand that pulsed with thick energy.

"Throw it"

"Throw it?" Zero repeated.

Greed nodded. "Throw it into the air and see what it does"

Zero stood up slowly and threw it up into the air. The green stand disappeared for a second and saw it flash across the sky. The night was confused as it turned into day for seconds before being shaded into blackness. Zero looked in awe as his eyes stung with the flash of light that awoke all living things before everything settled back into the quiet of the night.

"What was that?"

"A form of plasma. If you would've held on a second longer, you would've been incinerated"

Zero looked at him in shock. Greed patted the floor he still sat on and Zero saved his questions until Greed was done.

Once Zero was on the floor, Greed tapped the floor around them and a barrier of rock surrounded them.

"Earth is diverse, strong, and enduring. The key to mastering Earth is to utilize neutral energy, which involves waiting and listening for the right moment to strike, and when that moment comes, acting decisively. You must endure your enemies' attacks until the right opportunity to counterattack reveals itself" The rock barricade fell into the floor and small pebbles dusted the ground in its' wake.

A breeze ran through them and made their curls sway. Greed put his hands through the air's hair and smiled softly.

"Air is freedom. Air finds peace and freedom and is optimistic wherever it goes. The key to mastering it is flexibility and finding the path of least resistance. Air is purely defensive, as well as dynamic. It can overwhelm many opponents at once with large and powerful attacks that could prove fatal; however, due to the pacifistic nature, those moves are used for 'worst case scenarios'. You must be able to adapt to the situation surround you and pulse negative energy to use evasive maneuvers as opposed to direct confrontation"

"If you can follow all of what I told you then you'll be in full control" Greed smiled with his eyes.

Zero's memory of the first lesson faded and he focused back on the task at hand. He stood with creaking muscles and bruises that painted his skin. He was strong with knowledge and was armed to the teeth with his newfound knowledge.

He took a deep breath and got back into his neutral stance.

The Sports Festival will be a sight to see.
