//Heyyyo! Leave a vote if you liked the chapter ;)

You were eating your (F/F) (favourite flavour) ice cream happily in the middle of the busy cafe. All Might - no, Toshinori, was sitting on the other side of the table, with a mere glass of water in front of him.

"Toshinori, why didn't you order ice cream, too?" you asked as you wiped your face to get the ice cream stains off. All Might just smiled.

"I wasn't feeling hungry. L/N, what are you parents' quirks?" he asked, seeming a bit hesitant. You arched an eyebrow - that was a random thing to ask, but maybe he had his reasons.

"I don't know. Never met them. My uncle took me in," you explained. All Might nodded.

"And what is his quirk?" he asked. 

"He makes things small," you replied, not thinking much of it. Your uncle always claimed that it was a weak quirk. But All Might seemed to memorise the information as he gave you a slow nod.

"Okay. Thank you for answering my question. L/N, after the ice cream, we're going to do some fighting training. You're quite strong, but you don't put all your strength into your punches, and your kicks are completely random, but your strength made up for it until now. You need to learn proper techniques. You need to put your whole body into the punch! I'll teach you. You will also benefit a lot by being familiar with martial arts. However, this internship is too short for me to teach you everything, but after getting a hold of the basics, you will be able to train on your own. There's also the matter with your quirk. Just like Midoriya, you treat your quirk as a trump card. You use it only when you have to use it. Instead of delivering only the last move with it, you need to begin living your quirk. Move with it. Instead of running towards the enemy, teleport towards them, come at them from all sides. Your quirk also holds immense rescue potential, and we will work on developing those, as well," he said. You were quite a bit taken aback by the amount of things you seemed to be doing wrong.

"Other than that, you just have to continue training and getting stronger and develop your quirk further. As of now, I understand that switching with humans and while far away drains you really quickly. By practicing switching many times with pebbles, relentlessly, you will greatly increase your range."

"Damn. Thanks for the input, All- I mean, Toshinori. I will work hard and become better!" you promised seriously, and All Might grinned. 

"I'm sure you will. And remember - as long as you keep smiling, you will be alright!" he said, his grin looking odd against the frailness of his body. Yet the happiness and determination it held made you feel intimidated. You mimicked his grin with pride.

After finishing up, All Might and you veered off into another dark alley. He changed shape, becoming the muscular All Might you knew. 

"Ah! Now, L/N, I want to begin with out training! I want you to come at me with all you've got. But first, let's teach you how to punch properly!" he said, taking a stance with one of his fists near his face and the other ready for a punch. You mimicked his pose.

"Now, you get this part right. But instead of following the punch with your whole body, as such -" he said, demonstrating a punch. You could see how all his muscles tensed and moved with the punch. "Instead of that, you do this -" he said, punching the air by moving his arm only. 

"You see, your back wasn't into it. Neither was your torso or legs. You have the power, so use it! Give it a try," he said. You nodded, recalling what he looked like - absolutely majestic!

You copied his pose and imagined that the air was a villain's face. Then, you punched with all your power, trying to do it with your whole body.

Instantly, All Might walked up to your side and put one of his hands on your punching arm's elbow and the other on your back, moving you to correct your pose.
