Chapter 6

TITLE: Training II

He began by saying "Karate has three fundamental elements. Kihon which is the foundation, Kata, the forms or combinations of Kihon, and Kumite, the art of sparring, the most effective of them all."

"We shall be discussing Kihon. There are four main types of Kihon: stances, punches, kicks, and blocks. If you're unable to learn any of them properly then you can't excel as a Karateka. I'll be teaching you all of the basics and if you learn all of them by the end of the year then we shall go to the advanced moves"

He then went on to explain the various stances, punches, kicks, and blocks they'll have to do correctly before moving forward.

Surprisingly, Sora was really concentrated. Normally, he's only interested in music, anime, sleep, and not working. But strangely, he has quite an interest in martial arts and had this feeling he could learn everything Hiro had taught within 3 months.

As he kept listening, he looked to his right and noticed Izuku taking notes while Katsuki was gritting his teeth, he sighed as he thought 'why did I bring these guys here again? Oh, that's why. They're the main characters of this world so I need them to be strong enough to beat AFO and Shigaraki. I don't wanna waste my energy fighting those guys, they're like cockroaches, they never die. Though I could kill them with a mere thought… I think?'

An hour later, Hiro finished his lecture as he said "practice the stances. When you get it right, we shall move on to punches and kicks. Then maybe we shall try blocks too" he then sat on the floor as he watched them.

Sora stood and began. In a matter of minutes, he had done all the stances correctly as he thought 'wow, this is so easy. Wait, why is it so easy? Didn't they say martial arts were hard and you need someone to watch you so you won't make a mistake? At this rate, I don't even need this dojo anymore' he laughed while saying the last part.

Hiro who watched this, was shocked, he had never seen someone learn so fast, so he headed to Sora and said "it seems you've finished, let's try the punches and kicks alright?" Sora nodded and Hiro began instructing him.

Moments later, Hiro stood, his mouth wide open as he looked at Sora and thought 'impressive, he learned everything perfectly though I can't exactly be sure until the power has been tested. Hmm, let's see how far he goes' he taught Sora most of the blocks and then moved on to explain some kata to him.

By the time he was done, Sora stood there wide eyes as he thought 'hmm, this will take some time and energy. But I think I can do it.' He headed to a training dummy and began trying to practice what he heard.

The other students looked at it and wondered what he was doing but immediately returned to their training as their noticed Hiro's stern face.

30 minutes later, Sora opened his eyes and said to himself 'hmm, okay I think I know how to do it, now I only need someone to test it on.' He headed to Hiro and said, "I think I know how to do what you taught me but I need someone to test it on." Hiro didn't believe this but still asked "why not try on the dummy?"

"It's too weak and I won't achieve the desired results. I want to try punching a real person" he said but his thoughts were something else 'just kidding old man. I just want to pound someone in the face, what's the use of learning martial arts if I can't use it on someone?'

Hiro smiled as he said "okay I'll be your sparring partner" "oh thank you Sensei" Sora said immediately. Hiro nodded as he said "follow me"

Together, they headed to the center of the room and stood opposite each other. The students saw this and many were shocked as they said among each other

"Whoa, am I seeing well, or are my eyes fooling me? This new kid is fighting sensei on his first day"

"Damn, he's really unlucky. He's gonna get his ass handed to him"

"Come let's watch this, it's not every day you see Sensei fight"

They then gathered around the arena. Sora who had heard all this and saw them couldn't help but think 'so this old man decided to fight me just so he could whop my ass huh (A/N: no he just wanted to be of help). Well sorry old bag of bones, I ain't a pussy, you going down (A/N: *sigh* he's so getting his ass kicked) oh I'm gonna use my quirk else this wouldn't be fair (A/N: this mot****f*****)'

The maid came as she said "I'll be the referee of this match" they both nodded. They saluted each other and took a few steps back. Then the maid swung her arm vertically signaling the fight to begin.

Sora immediately propelled himself with wind, disappearing to the naked eye but Hiro saw through this as Sora appeared to his left and swung his leg towards his jaw, Hiro was easily able to evade this as he thought 'a side kick while in the air, impressive.' Seeing his attack had missed, he propelled himself yet again and appeared in front of Hiro while throwing a straight. Hiro made an upper block (mainly raising his left arm and bending it a little) but was still pushed back due to the force behind the attack.

His eyes went wide as he thought 'what? How was that attack so strong, is he made of iron?' In a way he was right.

While attacking, Sora surrounded his arm with air then solidified it but since he didn't have high control or mastery, it could only be as strong as steel.

Sora realizing his attack had failed yet again thought 'okay old man, let's get serious' and he dashed towards Hiro and began throwing punches and kicks left and right. Hiro blocked the attacks but was still pushed back by them.

The onlookers were very surprised. You have to understand, Hiro was the master of this dojo and many had tried to fight him but it was always a one-sided beat down, but right now, a kid came out of nowhere, and on his first day, he's pushing their sensei back, just how strong is he? (A/N: don't be fooled, he's using his quirk and Hiro ain't fighting back)

Hiro was in a bad spot right now but he was smiling as he thought 'monster! This kid is a freaking monster, if I teach him right, he could become one of the greatest martial artists and if he becomes a hero, this dojo will become famous. Imagine all the money I'll get!'

(A/N: I never saw that coming… seriously)

Hiro then calmed down as he looked at Sora who didn't have any drop of sweat on his face nor was he panting, he was quite surprised which was exactly what Sora wanted, his opponent can't tell whether he's tired or not, because he always keeps himself cool with air and never lacks oxygen so why should he pant? But he was seriously out of stamina right now.

Hiro said "that's enough" hearing this Sora stopped as he fell ass first to the ground while thinking 'finally. After all those attacks, he doesn't even have a bruise on his body, what's he made of, gold?'

Hiro looked at Sora with a smile and said "you're very strong Menhera, you learned everything pretty fast and were able to reproduce that knowledge perfectly, truly a martial arts prodigy but you still have much to learn so we'll continue our lesson tomorrow. And you..." he looked at the crowd around them "what are you looking at? Classes are over for today, head home this instant! Before I open my eyes, you lots should have vanished or you know what's gonna happen…" The students hearing this scurried away quickly as they didn't want to invoke Hiro's rage after he got beaten, even Izuku and Katsuki went home, completely forgetting about Sora.

Sora seeing this was shocked as he thought 'Wtf!? I thought these two wanted to be heroes but they just left me here alone? I can understand Kacchan cuz he's Kacchan but Deku? Hmm… maybe he's an imposter. This may even be a parallel world for all I know… wait I'm getting off-topic. *sigh* what great friends I have'

He then noticed Hiro gazing at him with a smile on his face which he found creepy so he asked "you gay?"

Hiro was shocked by this question, never in his wildest dreams could he have thought this "genius" will ask such a stupid question but he still answered "of course not! Haven't you seen my maid?"

"Oh, I see you're a man of culture" Sora nodded understandably as he said this. Hiro noticed they were going off track but he still said: "I like those with nice breasts, you know…" Sora looked at Hiro and smiled. Hiro seemed to get the "message" as he smiled too.

(A/N: what the hell is going on here?)

"Ahem, anyway Menhera. I can make you the strongest martial artist in the world, all of you have to do is follow my instructions" Hiro said, getting back to business.

"Nah, I'll pass," he said plainly

"What?"

"Yeah like I said, I'll pass. I realized something during training today, I have this great comprehension of martial arts so I figured if it's so easy for me to learn then why bother looking for a master, I can just learn it online and save money" 'even though I'm (my parents) stinking rich that doesn't mean anything'

"But you'll need a sparring partner," Hiro said still trying to convince him but what he heard next surprised him.

"Why bother? I have Deku and Kacchan. They're perfect punching bags" 'and I get my revenge on Kacchan for being such a pain' but Sora was brought out of his thoughts by Hiro's mad laughter. He looked at the guy and asked "you okay?" Hiro stopped laughing and fake coughed as he said "you really are like your mom said"

Sora's ears perked up as he asked "what did she say?"

"That you're very selfish and lazy, you'll do anything just to avoid any kind of work or stress. She also said you're very stingy though you (your parents) are rich"

Sora frowned while thinking 'why did she have to say only bad things? How did she forget my heroic heart (A/N: you have one?) she also forgot to mention my sacrificial character ("…")'

He looked at Hiro and said "sorry sensei, I may still come here sometimes to fight you" Hiro nodded as he said "sure no problem but know that next time, I won't go easy on you"

"Yeah sure," Sora said while thinking 'it won't change shit. Go super Saiyan for all I care, I'll still whop your ass'

Little did he know, that one day he'll look back at this day with regret.

They talked about different things before Sora headed home, it was time for the real training.

------- Author's notes

Hmm, there's something I wanted to ask. Which do you prefer,

1 chapter a day

OR, all chapters of the week at once?

Don't forget only 5 chapters a week, maybe an extra chapter if I'm in a good mood or just achieved a goal or fewer chapters if am too lazy.
