3 days later...
Gohru was eating a bowl of miso ramen with extra toppings in a roadside ramen store when his cell phone rang. Fishing it out, he flipped the top part of the flip phone, taking note of the number before answering.
"Hello?"
"I have what you want. I'll place it under the first vending machine in Shibuya Station."
An unrecognizable voice rang before the call ended. Closing the burner phone, he takes another slurp of the miso soup absent-minded.
'Fucking-the-Plot Plan™️ Step 1 can finally start...'
___________________________________
Walking to the first vending machine of Shibuya Station with a disguise on along with a hoodie and mask to cover his face, he crouched and reached under the vending machine, finding a folder sealed with a logo of a magnifying glass.
Keeping the file in the bag he brought along, he naturally walked away from the station before taking a taxi to multiple famous places in Tokyo, the Tokyo Skytree, Senso-ji, and lastly the Tokyo Tower to get the potential spies out of his tail.
Meanwhile while traveling to the places, he opened the folder and took the files out. There were three in total, with labels on each of them.
Double, Blood, and Burn.
After checking if there were any trackers of some sort, he tossed the folder away before returning back to his home using the super long and complicated way.
Once he was back home after triple-checking that he was not followed before reaching his house, it was already 7 in the evening. After a nice bath and a 3,000 calory meal, he opened all three files and read its contents.
Two hours go by when he finally kept all the contents back into their files, sighs, and pinches his temples before keeping them somewhere safe to start his daily training, his mind somewhere else while he does his 500 pushups.

3 months later...
Time sure flies fast when you are focused on something. And on the 1st of January, Gohru woke up early at 5 a.m. with a blank face.
'... It's time.'
After getting up and freshening up, he walks to his backyard before activating the capsule.
POOF!
Entering the training room, he immediately zoned onto the manual section before taking out Manual Number 5. Opening the manual, his eyes laid upon the first page of the manual script.
============================================
Congratulations on keeping your focus and discipline! You have finally trained your mind and body enough to learn Renewal Taekwondo, even if it is currently only the basics.
As a reward, your training will increase twofold, as you must now do 10 sets a day to get used to Renewal Taekwondo.
Furthermore, you must train in the stances and techniques of Renewal every day, for about 5 hours until you master every technique of basic Renewal.
============================================
Then the rest of the pages were filled with information about Renewal's basic stances that look similar to normal Taekwondo's, but different in terms of angles and uses.
For example, the forward stance was meant for stability while projecting the body weight forwards, such as when punching.
In Renewal's case, the forward stance of Renewal was used to get ready for a dash or attack from a distance away from your opponent. This was used as a base for Renewal's advanced movement technique, Bo Bup.
Every movement and stance in Renewal correspond with each other, combo-ing into a full-blown technique.
After looking through the manual's first page, he immediately got into training mode, starting to practice the stances with totally different uses and reasons while referring to the pictures and images in the manual to make sure that he was doing it right.
While others were celebrating their New Year's together at the shrines, he was happily training in his own shrine, practicing away.
'I guess Kenichi's "Training Addict" nickname for me actually makes sense now.'

"Do I really have to wear this?"
He complains to his personal dresser, Lisa Ordor, a Swiss woman who Gohru hired from Tashiro-san's recommendations, who shrugs.
"Why not? It looks good on you."
And sure enough, he did look good. He was wearing a black gi with the Asics logo near his chest, with white accents at the collar.
"It's a little uncomfortable. Can't really stretch out that much." He explained as he moves his hands, showing her that his mobility is a little limited at the shoulders and chest area.
"Huh, I thought we measured you just a month ago? How did you build so much muscle so quickly?"
His mind immediately went back to the memories of his current training before shuddering.
"A lot of training. A lot."
She just raised her eyebrows before shrugging it off accepting the fact that since it was Gohru, he's weird sometimes.
"Well, we'll have to remeasure your body again later, so suck it up and get going. The tournament is about to begin."
He was in a national tournament in China and had asked Asics if they could borrow him for the match against their finalist, probably for publicity, and they said yes, so here he was stretching and warming up his body to prepare himself for the fight.
"You'll end it in a few moves, I saw their finalist and they're like an LVL 1 monster compared to you." She says, referencing a Hero MMO that she plays in her spare time to which he replied.
"Even so, who knows? Maybe they have some sort of hidden technique that they'll use? I mean, they're finalists."
"Whatever, just hurry up and finish the fight. I have a raid to get to later at 8 p.m."
"Yeah, yeah."

1 Year Later...
"It should be around here somewhere..."
He mutters as he walks around a quiet but quite high-priced neighborhood, looking at the map in his hand while scratching the back of his head.
He was wearing a black Asics t-shirt along with long jeans. Since he was more famous now than ever, he had to wear a disguise. That disguise being a whole different face.
Lisa's Quirk is Facial Transformation. She can change the facial structure or facial details of a person. The more modifications, the more fat she burns. The drawback is that they have a time limit depending on how much fat she uses.
So, instead of jet-black hair that was long and stubborn, he now had brown hair that was soft and obedient. His obsidian eyes were also changed to viridian green-colored eyes, so no more black spectacles and masks to hide in public!
"I knew I should have double-checked first. Fucking Mud Bastard stealing my phone away... Ugh! I hired Phoenix Shit to watch over the damn bastard!"
He was in this neighborhood at a specific time of 7.34 a.m. in the morning for a specific encounter. So with a sigh, he continues onwards as he had only 10 more minutes before having to try again tomorrow.
Continuing his walk further while looking at the map, he forgot to keep his eyes on the road as suddenly he bumps into something.
"Ouch!"
Scratch that, someone. And she sounds oh so familiar to him. Grinning at the confirmation upon looking at the fallen girl, he thought of only one thing.
'I found you.'
In front of him was a light dirty blonde-haired girl with yellow eyes that had thin slits as pupils while having longer and sharper upper and lower canine teeth compared to normal teeth.
"Are you Himiko Toga?"
The girl looked at him confused before answering.
"Yes? Who are you?"
Reaching out to help her, he introduces himself.
"Morning, I'm Jin Gohru. I'd like to make a deal with you."
