Once the friends departed, Izumi was on a train to meet this infamous Gran Torino, along the ride Izumi kept staring at the name and address on the piece of paper, she can't help but ponder why All Might would be so frightened with his teacher. He must be astounding if he can make All Might wet his pants however she's not sure if she heard or remembers a pro hero that is strong enough to take down the number one hero to his knees.

After a few walks to the location, she was greeted with a rickety old bricked building, There was a welcome sign above the entrance that was about to fall off. Izumi checked again if she was in the correct area and confirmed... This was the place.

She knocked at the doors, only to receive no reply...

Strange...

"Hello?, I'm Izumi Midorya from U.A. high." She said as she slowly entered the dark building, only to find a body lying on the ground with blood and intestines covering the floor.

Izumi went Deku mode and pulled out a gun and began protocol in case the killer was still around and dialed All might to inform him, "Hello?"  The blonde answered,

"All Might, I found a dead body, I don't know who it is yet but-"

"I'm alive!." The corpse said as he lifted his head with a goofy smile.

Izumi flinched and sighed in disbelief. "Flash alarm, he's alive." Izumi said through her cellphone, "Wait what???" All Might freaked after Izumi ended the call.

Izumi packed her gun away and stared at the old man clad in yellow and white, he had greying hair, stands about 3'11", wears a black hero mask, and was trembling on weak knees with a wooden cane to support himself. "Hehe, whoopsie, I was carrying a plate of sausages with ketchup and accidentally tripped and fell, clumsy me." He chuckles while wiping the sauce off his suit, "Now, who did you say you were?." He asked.

"Izumi Midoriya from U.A. Highschool." She replied with a salute...

"You're who now?." He asked again while cupping his ear to hear better, "Izumi Midoriya!!!." She yelled a little louder in hopes he heard her...

"Who are you again young lady?." He asked again.

The female is thrown off by the old man's bizarre demeanor. Not only does he pretend to be dead after falling with a plate of sausages and ketchup, but he also constantly asks Izumi her name and forgets it immediately afterward. The female was concerned that Gran Torino isn't in the correct mental state to train her or maybe he might be the wrong person. She excuses herself to try and call her father figure only to find Gran Torino rummaging through her case which contains her gear and costume.

"Why don't you fire up a One For All punch at me." He said in a serious tone while inspecting a combat knife, the sudden change of attitude of the old man completely threw her off guard. "This is a lot of gear for one person, you must be pretty tough in a fight." He concludes, Izumi was looking at him questionably. When suddenly...

"Hey what are you doing here?." He chuckles in his clueless state.

This old man was difficult to understand that Izumi was getting annoyed or worried if this was even a good idea to intern with him. "Sir, I'm here to learn how to control One For All, All Might doesn't have much time, I need to train myself to be better and I can't waste time, please excuse me." She said as she was bout to make her leave.

"As I thought..." The old man said as he took a deep breath.

The small man took off to the air leaving a heavy gust of wind, he bounced off the wall to wall at high speed and lands in front of Izumi leaving a creator in his wake, the young teen looked at him in awe, "It's time to show me what you can do, ya newbie, hehe." He chuckles.

"I saw how you used that power during the sports festival, you're very smart but at the same time reckless and unthinkable, All Might may be the symbol of peace and the number one hero but he's still a total shithead, let's see what you are like." He said with a mischievous smile Izumi notices the comparison of the duality, from the serious to the dumb persona of All Might and Torino, this just really proves that he is All Might's teacher!.

"Gear up and show me what you got!." The old man declares.

A few minutes later

Once armed and ready, Izumi took her battle stance in front of the old man, he may be a frail-looking senior but he can pack a punch as strong as a speeding jet, she equipped herself with small yet effective gadgets, though it was risky to be less armed she wanted to observe what he was like during the fight and figure out the rest but she can't underestimate the old guy. "Alright!, ready newbie?." Old man Torino said with a grin, "Ready when you are old man." She replied with a smirk.

In a blink of an eye, the old man became a speeding ball of a blur, he was bouncing off of every wall and surface to confuse his opponent. Izumi quickly tries to follow his fast movements, "Let's see how far All Might's training taught you." He said and landed a heavy kick behind Izumi's back. The ex-assassin swore she felt her bones shatter and lungs pop as she choked on the force of the hit, she tumbled a bit but quickly landed on her feet. Torino landed on top of a microwave which broke at the process as he was surprised by the young female's calm expression

"I can't believe you're the Ninth beholder of this great power, this proves All Might isn't the best teacher." He said with a troublesome smile.

She went Deku mode and pulled out a pair of guns and fired away, aiming them at the speeding blur, "Your little fancy toys won't do you much when it comes to me, newbie." He mocked and then attacked.

He strikes fast from everywhere he bounces off giving Deku no chance to strike back and constantly shielding herself and no place to hide, but she did notice he seems to always attack behind her but that did little help.

He then karate kick her on the head, 

Her left shoulder, 

Across her jaw, 

Another kick in the back,

And a punch on the gut.

Izumi packed away her guns and put up her fist only to have her feet swept under her and land on her back with a stomp on her chest afterward, it was an absolute struggle as she can't pin him down. Izumi was getting more frustrated she was starting to feel numb and dizzy, not just by the constant zooming figure of the pro but her limit was slowly rising. Torino then punched her across the room and collided with the wall behind her leaving large cracks, "What? you didn't realize my strength earlier?, you're a more pushover than Toshinori." He grinned.

Deku came rushing at him with claws that popped out from her gauntlets, if a long-distance attack won't work then close combat might, she swiped and scraped anywhere she can reach as she tries to corner him, but he kept narrowingly dodging her attacks, "Too bad, I thought there was a reason why All Might chose you." He taunted. Pissed she pulled three ping-pong-sized spheres and quickly threw them at him.

-SCREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!-

Gran Torino immediately covered his poor old ears, his hearing is bad enough, and was unaware Izumi moved behind him and swiped her claw blades across his back, he immediately moved forward to avoid the sharp metal but was lightly nicked with three red lines on his back, he quickly faced her and jumped off her face to avoid her blades.

Once he made distance with the greenette he came flying at her with heavy yet swift kick attacks however Deku counter-attacked with fast punches as well, the need to kill slowly grew inside of her, causing Deku to start losing morality.

She grabbed the old man by his foot and slammed him down to the floor, once immobilized Deku returned the favor of punching him on the face or gut, Gran Torino may be old and has more skills of a hero, but the look on Izumi's face frightened him. Before she could finish him off, the old man quickly avoids it and pins Deku to the ground defeating her, "Hey kid!... Kid!!!, Calm Down!..." Gran Torino calls out while struggling to hold her down, once the green-haired female slowly came back to her senses she was greeted with a killer migraine as she looked at her surroundings only to realize her mistake and Gran Torino stood in front of her with blood bleeding down from the cut on his forehead. 

Guilt and regret clouded her vision, she immediately stood up and made her way to the sofa, Torino looked at the stressed teen and felt like he was at fault in this situation as well, he gently made his way towards the female who was curled up in a defensive position. "You're quite the fighter, however, you're holding back you're full potential, Toshinori has told so much about you and what you've been through, I don't know what going on in that labyrinth head of yours, but... you're not alone anymore." He said in a wise tone. 

"Thank you... And I'm sorry hurting you." She said as she peeked behind her knees that were propped up in front of her. "Now, let's get something to eat, this old man needs some Taiyaki." He said as he switched to his senile self, "A plate of warm Taiyaki always cheers me up after a hard day of work, and I want you to call me Grandpa from now on." He said as he shuffled around looking for his wallet and gestured to Izumi that they will go shopping for a bit, but the last statement caught her off guard.

"Gran Pa Torino has a nice ring to it." He said in a jolly tune as he made his way to the store with the female in tow who was pondering at his words of advice and his kind gesture, she can't help but smile.

Meanwhile, in the town of Hosu, Iida was starting his intern in a hero agency of the Normal Hero: Manual's office. As they patrol the streets together, Tenya mulls about thoughts of the so-called Hero Killer and hopes to find him in Hosu. "Oh yeah, I been wanting to ask you this when you arrived at my office, why join my agency?." Manual asked as they walked around the area for any abnormalities, "It's not much sir, but I admire your hero work and safety protocols you established here in Hosu." He said in a false eager tone in the hope the pro hero bought which he did and continued to scout around.

Tenya was just waiting for the beast to strike...

However, somewhere in the depths of the dark, a man with a crazed look with a red mask that enhances his insane look, dressed in red and black regalia of assassin and ninja, armed with blades of every kind to make his victims bleed to death, was making his way towards a bar provided by an anonymous message given to him one day. Upon entering he was greeted by a dimly lit interior, the smell of smoke and alcohol lingered in the air and two people present in the area, he assumes the man of fog is the bartender and the other with a strange mask in the shape of a hand covering his face is the one who contacted him.

He slowly sat on the barstool a few seats away from Shigaraki and was served with a cold drink, courtesy of Kurogiri. "You're the guys who attacked at the USJ." Stain stated as he looked carefully at the so-called leader, "And you want to recruit me into your little group?."

"Yes, you have so much experience, especially when you used to train All or One's quirkless little flower," Tomura said which somehow caught the Hero Killer's interest. One time he was recruited by a strange doctor who called him to mentor someone which was a little girl with green hair, freckles dotted on her face, eyes of a killer, and born without power.

It was little information but he took the job of training the child to be an assassin, taught her everything he knew, and occasionally shared some of his ideas like fake heroes walking amongst the real ones, it made him a little soft which he will never admit out loud. By the time he deemed her ready he left the job assuming that was the last time he will see her.

"We need her back, and you're the only one who could go against her, with her serving the heroes it makes winning much harder and it pisses me off when your broken toy just stands there and can't kill All Might," Tomura said with an angry tone as he showed a picture of Deku who is matured and strangely brighter.

"So that's your plan? how pathetic." Stain scoffed with a wrathful aura glowing behind him, "You're plan is nothing but child's play, and that's what annoys me, you don't even have real convictions." he said as he reached for the blades strapped on his torso. "Tomura Shigaraki only cares about wants and violence so we brought this man in to guide him, perhaps we made a mistake," Kurogiri said as he saw the Hero Killer draw out his blade, the bartender was about to step in but the static voice of Sensai spoke through the television, "Hold your ground, let them have it, this might be the only Tomura may learn from it and mature, only then will he reach his full potential." All for One said as Tomura and Stain stared at each other with hatred.

Meanwhile

In the center of Tokyo with Bakugou, he stood in front of the number 4 hero; Best Jeanist who looked at his intern with distaste. Katsuki took his offer only because he's one of the popular top 5 heroes.

"So you're U.A.'s sports festival champion?." He said as he looked at the grumpy blonde, "To be perfectly frank, I don't like you." The stylish blond admits, "Hey you're the one who made the offer!." Katsuki said with a scoff, "Well recently my recruits have been nothing but perfect little angels." The pro hero said as he lightly styled his gorgeous locks, he also explains why he stood out for him and that he has a good grasp of his powerful quirk despite being talented enough to take on as a sidekick his attitude could use some work and the fact how the angry male carelessly flaunts how he is always the best. 

"Don't tell me you brought me here for a lecture!." Katsuki growls as he approaches him, only to find himself restrained in place by what seems to be threads that came from Best Jeanist's suit. "I will take on this challenge and transform you to become an exemplary hero by the end of your intern week here." The flamboyant male continues.

Seems like everyone in class 1A is learning a lot about what it means to be a hero, the ropes of taking action, and observing what pro heroes have learned or experienced, like with Kirishima and Tetsutetsu who were surprised to see each other in the same agency of the Chivalrous Hero: Fourth Kind, Uraraka learns from the Battle Hero: Gunhead as he explains basic instructions which surprised the brunette with his friendly aura, Yaoyarozu and Kendo were surprised to be interning together with the Pro Heroine: Uwabami the snake hero on the T.V. station for a commercial. Jiro is fighting breath as she trains with Deatharms, or how Mineta had high expectations about learning with Mt. Lady who was casually lounging about, Asui is put to work by Pro Hero: Selkie and appears to be working with the Navy, and for Shoto who chooses to intern with his father's agency as they both head out to the city.

It looked like a really busy day for these young heroes in training, but maybe not so much for Izumi. That night, Gran Torino has fallen asleep after getting some food in his stomach. After cleaning the building for a bit she ventures out into an alleyway by the area with her tools and equipment on hand, once she found a decent spot she begins her mechanical tinkering. as she was working she can't help but ponder on Gran Torino's words with questions she is yet to answer, "Am I truly free?.", "How am I no longer alone?.", "What will happen to me if I mess up again.".

"All you can do is kill, it's what you're good at, you're nothing but a manic, an impulsive criminal from the slums, you wreak havoc without care for the consequences, you leave a trail of mayhem and panic." Deku's voice echoed inside Izumi, "SHUT UP!!!." She yelled to herself as she clutched her head, she might have scared a couple passing by the alleyway.

Before those voices grew louder she quickly pulled out of her subconscious with a gasp and noticed how tight her grip was on the screwdriver she is holding, she sighed and realized that tinkering can't distract her nor training cause she'll likely break something again. 

Once Izumi and the voices in her head turned down, she made her way back to the pro hero's building and collapsed on the couch, and fell into a dreamless sleep.
