"Midoriya, excuse the profanity, but who the hell taught you how to fight?"

Izuku lifted his head sharply and swiveled to meet Aizawa's glare. "U-Uh...is it-is it bad?"

Aizawa's stare didn't waver. "Answer the question first and then I'll tell you."

Izuku looked around with barely disguised uncertainty and squeaked, "A-All Might."

"...Personally?"

"Yeah."

"How did you go about getting that done?"

"It's...It's a long story."

"Spare me it. To answer your question, it's not bad, but it isn't good either."

"What?"

"You only use one tactic. Granted, it's a good one, but when you're a hero, you always want a variety of tactics. Trust me on that, I know it's true first-hand."

"...Okay?"

"What I'm trying to say is that you need to branch out. And I'm willing to help you."

"O-Oh. But, why?"

"You're a good kid and all, but you attract trouble like a magnet. I've never been legitimately concerned for the life of one of my students, but congratulations, you've reached that. Meet me in the training room every wednesday and friday after school around six."

"Just me?"

"You, and one other kid. You already know him. Be there and...keep this quiet, please."

"Okay. Um, thank you?"

"Just be there."

"...Midoriya? Is that you?"

Izuku jumped and whirled around to see a shock of purple hair.

"S-Shinsou-kun?" Izuku stammered, belatedly remembering Shinsou's quirk.

Shinsou didn't seem to care, instead looking bemused. "What are you doing here?"

"I...uh…" Izuku opened and closed his mouth, debating whether or not to tell the truth. "Aizawa-sensei told me to meet him here."

Shinsou quirked a thin eyebrow delicately. "You? You're the other kid he's teaching now?"

"W-What?"

"I'm the other kid he trains. Didn't he mention that?"

"He did say that there was someone else, but he wasn't specific."

"Figures. Well, nice to see you again, I guess. He'll be here in a few minutes. Be warned; it's not hard, but it definitely isn't easy." Shinsou sighed, leaning against the wall.

"I-I don't mean to pry, but is there any...any reason you're the other student he trains?" Izuku chanced, leaning next to Shinsou.

Shinsou blew out a long breath. "My fight with you was short, yeah, but it taught me something. If I want to be a proper hero, I can't just rely on my quirk. Because if someone knows what my quirk is, just like you did, I'm kind of fucked. I couldn't do anything to stop you from flipping me ass over head. I was frustrated over this and one of my friends mentioned that your homeroom teacher, Aizawa, as an underground hero who knew a lot of hand-to-hand combat. I sought him out, begged him to teach me, and here we are." Shinsou swept a hand around the area in a general motion. "Is there any reason you're here?"
