Izuku and Kirishima stepped out of the train and walked to the work place destination.

Following Izuku behind, they arrived at their destination's home address.

"This is the place?" Kirishima asks, looking at the dilapidated building. "This is it," Izuku confirmed before shifted his messenger bag. "This is where he lives."

Kirishima knock the door before opened it and peeked inside. "Hello? I'm Ki-" he cut off to find the elderly small man with blood like liquid splattered beneath him horrifiedly.

"Ah! He's dead!" Kirishima yelled with bulged eyes in anime style. "Uhmm... Ki-" Izuku cut off when the old man suddenly gets up. "I'm alive!"

"AH! HE'S ALIVE!"

Kirishima make a choking noises, his body seems to be wiggling and turn white.

"Kirishima-kun?"

Then he fainted, startling them as Izuku quickly catch his fallen body from behind.

"K-Kirishima-kun!?"

"O-oi kid!"

Few minutes of trying to wake him up, Kirishima seem to be drinking a glass of water and Izuku flapping the fan over his face.

"Are you okay?" Izuku asks with worried face. He nodded as response, too dizzy to notice how close he is to him.

"Sorry about that lad," the elderly man identified himself as Gran Torino. "I was carrying a plate of sausages with ketchup then I fell and got ketchup everywhere!"

He waved the stick that support him and place it back. "So, what's your name?"

"I-I'm Kirishima Eijirou," he introduced himself. "I'm from UA high school."

"Sorry? What did you say?"

The elderly man cupped his hand over his ear. "I don't recall order food from the restaurant!"

"I'm Kirishima Eijirou!"

"Who? Toshinori?"

Kirishima scowled in annoyance while Izuku stifled his laughter, caught the man's act.

"I need to call All Might," grumbles Kirishima as he stand up. "Calm down Kirishima-kun," the hitman comforted. "Gran Torino-san's just messing with you."

"And you are...?"

"I'm Midoriya Izuku," the grenette introduced. "Nice to finally meet Toshinori-san's mentor."

"How is he by the way?"

Kirishima gawked, watching the scene.

"Aniki and I have been keeping an eye on him for awhile," Izuku explains with sheepish smile. Nedzu is given them permission to tell those who knew All Might and his secrets. "I have never seen aniki so stressful before in short time because of him."

"That's sound like him all right," Gran Torino snorts. "Always reckless."

He then turns to the protege of his former student. "I want you to fight me with One For All."

Kirishima blinked. "Huh?"

"I wants to see how well you can handle with it," he explains. "Put on your hero costume and fight me."

Thinking that he's playing around, Kirishima scowls again. "Listen, I need to learn how to control my power as soon as possible," he declared. "All Might is running out of time so I do not have time to be fooling around."

"Well then, what about this!"

The elderly retired pro hero suddenly jumps and leaps in front of him at incredible speed causing Izuku quickly get out of his way.

Kirishima startled but dodged.

"His quirk, Jet allowed him to shoot air from the propulsion opening on the soles of his feet," analyzed Izuku after scanning him. "Giving an incredible speed, ability to fly and uses his breath to propel from long distances."

"As expected of Midoriya member," the retired pro hero glanced at him.

Torino knew this Midoriya member is very powerful despite his young age.

With his skilled eyes, he could have swear he saw a big red eyed snake slythering around him with wings then hissed eeriely at him with long sharp fangs.

Even though Izuku is smiling at him with tender eyes, there's something sinister roaming around inside of him as if it's waiting for a moment to strike.

The shadow behind him looked like it's letting out an amount of tentacles from his back and demonic tail clawing.

"Thank you for your compliment," smiles Izuku. "But I am merely studying those quirks as my hobby to analyzing them."

"Even so, you'd make a dangerous opponent against to," the old man replied before turn his gazed at Kirishima.

"Since you make yourself a goal to learn how to control your power," Gran Torino said with smirk. "All the more reason for you to stay!"

He landed on the ground.

"I will say it again," he looked at him with gleam. "Use One For All and fight me."
