After the Race, the students returned to the classroom, where Aizawa was already waiting for them. When everyone was seated in their places, their sensei looked at the notebook on his desk and read something.
"Uh... Summer vacation's close at hand. Of course, it would be completely irrational for you to take a whole month off."
The whole class immediately perked up at these words.
"Don't tell me..."
"You'll be going to summer training camp in the woods."
"I freaking knew it! Yes!" Kaminari raised both his hands in the air in celebration.
"Truth or dare!"
Mina was completely ready for the camp, thousands of ideas were already flying in her head.
"BATHHOUSES!" Mineta shouted.
"Fireworks." Tsuyu loved fireworks.
"BATHHOUSES!!" Mineta shouted.
"Curry, yes!"
Even their Vice President was pumped up for the upcoming training camp.
"OPEN AIR BATHS!" Mineta shouted.
"Since we'll be out in nature, our training activities will probably be different too." Toru said scratching her chin in thought, but no one could see it.
"HOT SPRIN-" Mineta was knocked out.
Aizawa silently watched as the shadow hand lifted the midget from the floor and placed him back on his chair. The hero did not even bat an eye and continued to speak.
"However... Anyone who doesn't pass our upcoming final exams... Is in for summer hell, right here."
"Do your best, guys!" shouted Kaminari.
"Summer camp, huh? That's gonna be interesting." muttered Harry.
At the end of the lesson, when everyone had packed up their things, Potter went over to talk to Midoriya. He threw his hand around the neck of the second green-eyed teenager and began to whisper.
"This Saturday you come with me to Bang's Dojo, All Might's successor."
It took far too long for him to figure out. At least that's what Harry thought. All signs were there: similar quirks, the thin form of All Might during USJ, Midoriya's words after Todoroki's question during the Sports Festival, and his nervousness every time someone mentions being linked to the Number One Hero. How he hadn't realized this before, he didn't know.
Izuku's palms began to sweat, his brain switched to panic mode and tried to find a way out of the situation. He saw none.
'How does he know?! This should be my biggest secret! '
"Oi, don't be so scared, I'm not a snitch. We don't want reporters to stalk you at every corner, now do we?" Harry and Izuku shuddered at the very thought "You need to watch your words, someone other than me might understand your connection and not be so quiet about it."
Midoriya just nodded and Potter removed his hand from his shoulder, the black-haired teenager waved his hand, and Godric waved his tail from the back of The Harry's head.
Izuku could only wave back at them in confusion.
---
On Saturday, Izuku Midoriya stood outside the Dojo, from within which terrible shockwaves were heard.
'Am I at the right place?'
He took out his phone and started texting Harry.
[I'm standing at the entrance to the Dojo. Where are you now?]
He sent a message and five seconds later the door to the building opened. Potter stood with his back turned to him in a fighting stance and dodged some old man's blows. He was wearing only black pants, and his fists were bandaged. Dark blue aura was flowing from them, the same one as the one at his feet.
"Wotcher! Come in, we have-" Harry dodged a kick to the head and the old man's leg smashed right through the wall "-thirty minutes of sparring left." the green-eyed teenager counterattacked Bang with a blow to the side - Izuku guessed the old man was Bang Silverfang - but he grabbed Potter's arm and threw him back into the yard, his body through the wall again.
"Don't become distracted! Your concentration must be unwavering while using Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist! And you." he pointed at Midoriya "Watch our fight closely and remember all mistakes he makes."
After these words, the old man disappeared from his place and Izuku blinked in surprise.
"What just happened?" he just stood there for a couple of minutes in a stupor, but another shockwave made him wake up.
Midoriya walked in the direction that Potter's body had flown away. Several walls were punctured, the floor was cracked, and there were even footprints on the ceiling. The green-haired teenager finally stepped out into the courtyard, which was in the same condition. Bang and Harry sparred there. Izuku put his bag on the floor and sat down in the last surviving chair. He took out his notebook and prepared to write.
Right now, Harry was dodging Bang's barrage of punches at incredible speed. But after a while, one blow went through his defense. The old man's fist connected with the jaw of his student and Izuku was sure that from such a strong blow Harry would definitely fly away several meters, but the green-eyed teen counterattacked with a blow of his right hand and turned 360 degrees. But the old man just ducked under the blow.
Potter didn't stop there and continued his counter-attack with a roundhouse kick to Bang's head. He blocked the blow with his own leg, but apparently Harry expected this, he jumped up and attacked with his left foot, returning his right to the ground. The old man blocked the punch again, and after that began an exchange of a flurry of blows, which Izuku could hardly follow.
'Their attacks are quick and accurate, the power of their blows is terrifying, but they are still able to move smoothly. They definitely have different quirks, so it's all about martial arts? How is this even possible? Although, Harry got a new quirk that gave him superhuman strength and speed. Does Bang has a similar Quirk? What are they capable of if they give their attacks one hundred percent?'
Midoriya quickly jotted down theories in a notebook, even though the text was written. His eyes were focused on the battle in front of him.
Bang dodged another kick to the head and grabbed Harry by the leg, then began to strike quickly. The teenager was able to block only half of the punches, but then the old man made a sweep and sent him with a kick to the chest into the wall. Harry broke through it, but quickly recovered and jumped back through the hole. Bang raised his hand sharply and Harry stopped dead on his tracks, but did not let his guard down.
"I think that's enough for today. Not every sparring session has to end up with me beating the shit out of you."
Midoriya nodded in agreement, not even surprised by the curses in the Hero's speech. There are Bakugo and Potter in their class, swearing is not new to him. But now he knows why Harry swears so much. After these words, the teenager finally relaxed, the dark blue aura stopped flowing from his fists and feet.
"Damn, old man, you held back too much today, you know I still have five charges left."
Harry regenerated his body three times during his internship with Bang - one after the fight with Sloth and two during training - so after a week he only had six charges in the Stone of Sloth. Suddenly, to the left of Midoriya, there was a hiss and Helga and Rowena - right now about 10 meters long - crawled out of the building, carrying a white towel and a T-shirt on their backs.
§Thank you girls, you are just saviors.§ Harry hissed with a smile.
Izuku just looked at them with wide eyes and started writing something in his notebook again.
'They were much smaller yesterday... Quirk of resizing, the limit is unknown, such a Quirk given their body length-'
"Is good for crowd control, evacuation and massive area damage. I've already thought it through."
Harry finished for him, already putting on a T-shirt, the snakes slid onto his arms, shrinking in size to 30 centimeters. They wrapped around his wrists like bracelets and rested their heads on the back of his hands.
Bang walked over to Izuku and examined him carefully, pulling his mustache in thought.
"Get up and take off your shirt. I need to look at the condition of your body."
Izuku blinked, but after a second he got up and took off his shirt. Midoriya had a surprisingly well-developed muscles. He scars on his right palm from his fight with Todoroki, and had numerous minor burns from many years of bullying by Bakugo. Bang 'hmmed' thoughtfully and extended the teen's right hand to the side, looking at it closely.
"The bone has been broken into splinters several times. Boy, do you want to lose all sensation in your right hand?"
Midoriya's eyes widened in shock.
"N-no! No, I don't."
"Then you won't break that arm anymore. A couple more such serious injuries and you are fucked up. Got it? Although I do not forbid you to use your hands in battle, but... Find another way to attack, you always have more limbs." Bang said irritably, and a lightbulb popped over Midoriya's head.
"In general, your body is not bad, it is suitable for using martial arts. As far as I remember, One for All is capable of stacking strength, right? Toshinori couldn't even learn the initial stage of Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, with his muscles it is almost impossible to move smoothly."
Harry wasn't sure if this was possible, but Izuku's eyes widened even further, threatening to fall out of his sockets.
"You know about One for All?!" he stammered out and immediately slapped his mouth with his hands.
"Of course I know about One for All! I was training Toshinori teacher myself, how can I not know about this Quirk? Now Stop with useless questions, it's time to learn."
Midoriya immediately came out of his shock.
"Can you teach me martial arts that use legs? If I can't break my arms anymore, I'll start using other limbs."
He said with a grin. Harry looked at it from the side with his mouth wide open.
'BROCCKOLI KNOWS HOW TO JOKE?! WHAT THE FUCK?!'
"Capoeira, Kickboxing and Muay Thai. I will start teaching you Muay Thai as it uses almost every part of the body."
Midoriya nodded with a determined face and clenched his fists.
"This idiot - Oi! - can help you when I'm not around. As far as I remember, you are in the same class, so you have a constant sparring partner. Of course, you need to fight with different opponents to gain experience, but I think you'll know how to handle it."
"I am planning to open a martial arts club or join an existing one at our school if you are willing to accept more students at the Dojo." said Harry, crossing his arms over his chest.
"More students.. Well, these old bones are tired of fighting only with you, so bring whoever you want. But if they're not ready for all the hard work, I'll fuck them up." Bang said seriously.
"Well, that's fair."
Harry nodded with a huge smile on his face. Bang's Dojo is back in business!
"Well, now we'll start your training." Bang said, and a chill ran down Midoriya's spine.
'It couldn't be worse than All Might Beach Workout sessions... Right?"
That evening Izuku returned home with sore muscles and fell asleep on the floor in the hallway, scaring the hell out of his mother.

On Monday, Harry approached the best student in their class, a person who knows the molecular structure of countless objects by heart, Momo Yaoyorozu. A couple of days ago, he began to study alchemy in more detail - he did not touch the books after reading Shou's letter - and realized that he could not learn two subjects at once alone. Therefore, he came for help.
"Hi Momo, Sorry for such a sudden question, but can you help me with physics and chemistry? I thought you were the best person I could find for help." said Harry, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.
Momo was a little surprised by this question from Harry, but nodded eagerly.
"Of course, I'll be happy to help you! But let me ask, why do you even need these subjects? We won't even have an exam in them."
The girl's face showed that she really liked the idea of taking on the role of teacher.
"Well... I recently thought that knowledge of physics would help me to use my quirk, and I need chemistry in order to better understand physics."
"Hmm... It makes sense. We can even start right now! Oh, if you have time, of course." her cheeks were a little flushed with embarrassment from her sudden outburst.
"Yes, I still have three hours before I need to get home, so we can have the first session at the library."
Momo nodded and stood up from her seat, grabbing her bag off the floor. They walked out of the classroom together under Minoru's eyes that were full of envy.
"That lucky bastard..."
Harry and Momo entered the library and took his usual table in the corner of the room. They grabbed books on advanced physics and chemistry from the shelves and the first of many lessons began.
"What topic are we going to start with?" eagerly asked Momo.
Harry thought for a moment.
'What do I need to use alchemy...?'
"Molecular structure of different materials and revision of basic physics for today." he said finally.
'...and what materials are most common in different areas.'
"Great! So, listen carefully..."
As a result, their study session lasted an hour and a half and Harry learned a lot of new things. For example, technically, he should not be able to use the shadows of atoms, because they simply do not exist. The teenager had no idea how he missed THIS information. This caused a couple more questions to arise in Potter's head.
'How can I use my concentrated shadows?' and 'Why was I able to use them all this time, if it should've been impossible?'
The sudden appearance of a murderous aura behind him brought him out of his thoughts. Harry immediately froze in place and turned around sharply. Gin stood in front of him, a shadow falling over her face and her arms outstretched forward like a zombie.
"You... broke my suit. Again," she growled and Harry laughed nervously.
"He he... I'm sorry?"
That day, Harry learned what a woman's rage felt like first hand.

Upon returning to the Orphanage, Harry drew a primitive transmutation circle to change basic materials. With it, the young Alchemist was only able to change the elements from the periodic table. The teenager took a small wooden block and placed it on the circle. He sighed heavily and concentrated.
To use alchemy, one had to know the structure of the source material and the final material. Also, if an Alchemist wants to change shape, one needs to visualize the wanted shape down to every last detail. If an Alchemist fails in one of the two, then the transmutation will either fail or will came out wrong. Also, he should be careful to avoid recoil.
Recoil - is the effect that manifests itself when an Alchemist tries to make a transformation for which he lacks the source material - when one tries to take more than they give - the shortage is made up by the body of the Alchemist himself. For example, after attempting a human transmutation - which always fails - the Alchemist can pay for his stupidity with his leg or an arm. And if an Alchemist tries to create more material than he has, that material can merge with the Alchemist's body.
Harry put both hands on the circle and the wooden block lit up with red lightning. Its shape began to gradually change and the tree itself turned from oak to holly. A couple of seconds later, a recreation of his old Magic Wand lay in front of the teenager. He took it in his hand with nostalgia and waved it in the air.
"Lumos."
The usual soft light did not appear and Harry sighed heavily.
"Well, what did I expect? Jasmine said my magic had changed too much."
The teenager placed the Wand carefully on the table and took out another wooden block. Over the next five minutes, he created an elegant wooden case - engraved with the words 'Holly and a Phoenix Feather.' - with a silk pillow and a glass top for his Wand. He placed it inside and closed the case. He got up and walked over to one of his bookshelves. Harry put the case on one of the shelfs in the empty space between the books and smiled. Basilisks all this time just silently watched his actions from his bed.
"Well... The test was a success. I can use Envy to create transmutation circles on my palms... I just need to memorize them... And create them..."
Harry spent the next couple of hours reading books on alchemy and designing new transmutation circles. He had yet to notice the decrypted text that Shou gave him contained another cipher.
§Sssalazar, we want to add another sssibling to our family.§
Potter broke his pencil at this request and looked at Helga, who delivered the news to him.
§Well... It won't be difficult... Which frog ssshould I take this time?§
Godric let go of his hair and slithered around his ear.
§You sssholud asssk that human girl-frog. I'm interesssted in the resssult.§
Harry coughed loudly and looked at his Basilisk in shock.
§...I asssk you, by the Higher Powersss, do not talk about thisss again... Pleassse.§
Godric hissed in frustration and closed his eyes to sleep.
'...what an asshole, now I can't stop thinking about it. Most likely, a Medusa would hatch from such an egg... But then Tsuyu would have to incubate the egg for thirty months and keep it in her-' he punched himself in the face.
"Stop." he sighed again and rubbed his whiskey "Fucking Basilisks and their twisted ideas. Fucking frogs and chicken eggs. I just wanted to study..."
The rest of the night Harry was busy with endless attempts to drive perverted thoughts away from his head and reflections on which frog - Higher Powers, he will not ask Tsuyu to hatch the egg!!! - he'll use for his next Basilisk.
Give me a cool frog to use, write your suggestions in the comments.
The plan "Knock all the shit out of Daku to make him a Chad" has begun! I'm already shaking, wondering what power Midoriya would gain if he learned the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist and used it with One for All.
Harry has started to study Physics and Chemistry for Alchemy, and there will be a surprise for his teachers at the final exam~
