Training(Torture)

"Kid, pull out your knife," The hero killer said.

"Yes, master," Izuku replied, getting in a ready stance.

Izuku pulled out his knife as Stain unsheathed his sword. They started to clash their blades.

"I'm not going to use my quirk," Stain said, "Come at me with all you've got"

"I intend to," Izuku said.

The fight was one-sided, and Stain was winning, so Izuku turned on his electricity. He chuckled. Knowing science, Izuku thought that if he were to hit Stain's sword with the knife, the metal in the blade would conduct it and shock him. It didn't work.

"Boy, I know what you were thinking. Just so you know, I've fought enough people with lightning and electric powers to know that I should wrap my handle in rubber," Stain said.

Izuku was shocked. He thought that brains alone were enough, but he needed skills. Izuku couldn't fight. He couldn't even think of a way to beat Stain without his quirk. Izuku had to accept this fact and surrender himself to Stain. He wanted to be strong enough to help people. Izuku put his knife down and bowed his head.

"Master, teach me your ways. Make me strong like you." Izuku said, respectfully.

"Okay. Put this on." Stain replied.

He threw something on the ground that made some cracks. It was a pair of shoes.

"Wear that at all times." Stain told him

Izuku was amazed. Stain expected him to wear shoes that heavy.

"From now on, I'll attack you unexpectedly at all times while you wear that. Be prepared. I'll fight to kill." Stain said.

Izuku went back to his new home in Dagobah beach. Wearing those shoes, it took him almost two hours to walk there, so as soon as he got back, he fell asleep. He didn't even have the energy to work on his newest weapon. He was planning on making a gauntlet using a beaten up glove he found washed up on the beach. It took up nitroglycerin and caused explosions on par with Bakugou's quirk. But the downside was that it was hard to find nitroglycerin so he could compromise with petrol and kerosene, but both of those burnt out quickly. Izuku woke up from the sound of the door opening. He got his knife and prepared himself. Though the sound was coming from the door, Stain came in from the roof, sword first. He attacked. Izuku dodged and attempted a counter, but Stain blocked it. He was the real deal. Izuku couldn't even try to attack. Then it clicked. Those weighted shoes Stain gave him was his edge. He used them and launched a powerful kick aimed at Stain's face. Stain blocked it with his sword, but the attack cracked the sword.

"Good," Stain said as he left.

Izuku went back to sleep. He couldn't get a lot of sleep because he was worrying that Stain would attack him again, but he at least got a few hours. Izuku went straight to work on his gauntlet as soon as he woke up. He had been left alone for the day. Izuku kept his knife close to him at all times. After half the day had passed, he decided to train his knife skills. Izuku had gotten much better due to the weights and Stain's constant attacks. He believed he had gotten better.

"Kid," A random man said.

It was Stain.

"You've gotten used to those shoes, haven't you?" He asked

"Yes, sir," Izuku replied.

"Then put these on." Stain insisted as he threw armbands on the ground. "These should be worn with the shoes." Stain told him.

He left. Izuku continued his training. He was pretty decent at knife skills now, so he decided to practice hand to hand combat. To do that, he went to an underground fighting club to sharpen his skills against the pros. It was also a good idea for Izuku to earn some money because he hadn't eaten anything in two days. He searched and then found a tournament. The tournament allowed weapons, but Izuku didn't use his knife because he wanted to improve in hand to hand combat. So he started. His first match was pretty quick. He was able to win that. As he advanced, the games got more robust. He had won all of his bouts until the last one occurred. The final was against a big guy who looked like he could smash Izuku in with one blow. They started. Compared to Stain, his attacks were slow and uncoordinated. Izuku countered. The strike hit, but couldn't connect. It wasn't a weak attack; the enemy's fat just absorbed it all. Izuku would have to go for the face. Izuku struck him in the temple, and it was over. He just earned fifty thousand yen plus double that in bets and fans giving him money.

Izuku needed to fight thugs to earn experience. He went on patrol and happened to see two people snatching purses. Izuku started to fight. The thugs were stronger than expected. They had weapons on them as well. Izuku could win this quickly, but he didn't want to damage the items in the purse. He had to be extra careful. He wanted to test his gauntlet out, and so he had to get the bag away first. He put one hand behind him and created an explosion, boosting him forward with unchallenged speed. He grabbed the purse and returned them to their owners. After doing that, He stabbed one with the knife and temporarily paralyzed him. He then went to the second one and caused an explosion big enough to give him some injuries and knock him out, but small enough to make sure he stayed alive; about 20 percent of the gauntlet's power. Izuku picked the two bodies up and dropped them outside the police stations, leaving a note going in-depth about their crime.

Momo Yaoyorozu was walking down that street when she saw the explosion and Izuku fleeing from the scene. Though he looked different, she knew it was him "Deku" she said
