《Legendary (Discontinued for now)》Chapter 4: 10 Months of Hell and the Exam

Advertisement

"Faulkner, I want you along with the best pediatricians, body trainers, quirk trainer and bodybuilders to make a diet and workout routine. The type of routine that will push my body to its extreme limits but not kill me. I have an idea of what my quirk is, so bring in a trainer with strength enhancement quirk. Also, call someone who can teach hand-to-hand combat"

"Will do, sir."

"Oh, and Faulkner, tell the media that the company is being handled by the council, for now"

"I will, but may I ask why, Sir?"

"I don't want to be on the news before I become a Pro Hero, and I also don't want to walk around with 10 or 15 bodyguards ........And please don't call me 'Sir', Izuku is fine" Faulkner only nodded left the room.

Izuku then went to the balcony, watching the sun set over city and the Rhine. The apartment was the most expensive in the entire city. It was a penthouse with 7 large rooms, a living room, kitchen, a bedroom, a gym, a storage room, a study room and an office room.

The apartment building itself was located by the river bank near the city centre, thus making it easy for Izuku if he had to buy something. It was also located close to Rheinmetall Advanced Education, one of the best schools Europe had to offer.

He managed to get in with 17 out of 17 yeses by impressing the teachers with his personality, analytical and tactical mind, ability to make good plans under pressure, good morals. Although at first he 16 yeses (which was very good), but after hearing who his mentor was, the last interviewer also said a yes, because if Schmidt personally taught the boy, then there must be something that the teachers hadn't seen in him yet, but were eager to find out.

"Well, better check what the new classes are"

Izuku went to the study room and started checking the subjects and class routine.

"So....... physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, English, German language, economics , computer science and mechanics...........

woooow, they used the 'Advanced Education' in the school name for a reason. There is also fencing, swimming, horse riding, improv and...... deception class ?

welp its time to bring out my inner politician."

'I wonder what kind of quirks the other students will have'

Izuku had just returned home after having breakfast at a nearby restaurant. He went to the living room to watch some TV when the doorbell rang.

Izuku opened the door to reveal Faulkner and a very muscular and tall guy. Izuku assumed him to be the trainer with the strength enhancement quirk. Faulkner then handed him the papers with the workout routine.

"So Izuku, there you have it, your workout routine. Me and a couple of doctors and trainers worked through the night to make that routine"

"Thank you for that"

"Izuku, to be frank, the coming months will be total hell for you, are you sure you want to go through this?" Faulkner asked in a serious way

"Yes, yes I am. Everyone else had about 10 years to train their quirk, so I need to make these 10 months equivalent to 10 years"

"Commendable.

Anyway, I have informed the restaurant across from the building about what your diet is, they will deliver the required food every day for the foreseeable future"

"Thanks"

"I should also introduce you to Verner Schwarzenegger" Faulkner said as he looked towards the buff man.

"Nice to meet you Izuku Yagi, I will be your trainer for the next 10 months, not only for you body, but also for your quirk."

"Yes, Mr Schwarzenegger has a degree in studying Strength Enhancer quirks"

"I heard that you were deemed quirkless due to your dormant quirk, but nothing to worry about. Strength Enhancement quirks can take time to manifest, mostly due to the fact that the users subconscious mind is masking the power, untill the body is developed and capable of handling the power .Some take 1 extra year, some take 2, but in your case, the quirk was dormant for 10 years, just to show how powerful it is." Verner explained to Izuku

"But, I damaged my arm when I first used it"

"Hmmm, then that could mean only one thing, you went through a forced quirk activation"

Both Izuku and Faulkner became confused

"Allow me to explain, you see from the beginning of the human race, we have this power we call 'Hysterical Strength', something that gets activated when we are in extreme stress. It gives us physical strength in times of panic or near death experiences , but nobody knows where this strength comes from. When quirks started showing up, the Hysterical Strength played and still plays a crucial role in activating dormant quirks. When someone without an active quirk feels he is in grave danger, the Hysterical Strength kicks in and shatters their mental barrier. You must have had a near death experience. But that also meant that it would damage the user as their body was not ready to handle the quirk's full power"

Izuku thought for a second, and then everything made sense

"Yes, yes this makes perfect sense now, about 3 weeks ago I was attacked by a villain that tried to take over my body. It really did felt like I was dying, my vision was going black and my body felt weak." Izuku said recalling the incident before shuddering a little.

"It makes even more sense as after that incident, every time is was in a bad situation by body would feel warm and heart nearly exploded, as before the only thing that happened was my body felt warm."

But soon realization dawned on him. His body was not yet ready to handle his quirk, which meant that it was impossible to get into a Hero course, a good one at that.

"But" Izuku voice became sad

"That means I won't be able to apply for hero course"

"What do you think I'm here for? You did hire me to train you after all?" Verner said and Izuku became confused again.

"But... didn't you tell me that my body was not ready to handle my power?"

"I said that your body was not ready to handle your quirk's power. Which means that you will have to use the amount of power that your body can handle which means say 20 or 40 percent and seeing what 100 percent of your power can do, you would still be strong if you use even 20% of your power"

After hearing this, Izuku's face and voice lightened up instantly

"Well then, I should take my leave, and take this" Faulkner handed Izuku the paper. "This contains the routine and the location of Mr Schwarzenegger's training center"

"We'll start your training from Monday, and I would recommend that you enjoy the these two days because from Monday, your life will be hell" Verner said before leaving the apartment.

'10 months, I have to make each and every second count' Izuku held that thought for a second

'For Sensei'

That word still brought bittersweet memories.

He then began going through the routine

'Holy shit, he wasn't lying, my life is going to become hell'

His training routine consisted of

Waking up at 4 AM

70 push ups

70 pull ups

70 jumping Jacks

then running 3.5 Km to Verner's training center, where he will do

70 seconds wall sits

70 mountain climbers

70 sprinters

70 high knee

70 squats

and weight lifting.

He had to somehow do it in 1 and a half hour, he would then train with his quirk for another 1 hour.

He would then return back to his apartment by running another 3.5 Km.

Then from 7 to 7:40, he will have to get ready for school and have breakfast

His school will start at 8 AM and continue till 4 PM (6 normal subject class per day, 1 extra curricular class and lunch break, each lasts for one hour)

He would then have to finish his homework or do other things till 8 PM, after which he would have to do

70 squats

70 sit ups

70 air punches

and go for another 7 Km run, after which Izuku eat his dinner and go to bed before 10 PM.

His Saturday and Sunday routine will be same, only in these two days he train more hours since the school is closed.

On Saturdays, he would practise hand to hand combat from 8 AM to 12 PM and practice with his quirk from 12:30 PM to 4:30 PM.

Same thing on Sundays, except he would meditate for 4 hours then have four hours free time.

Izuku's diet consisted of nothing but vegetables, chicken, skimmed milk(no other dairy products), fruits, eggs and fibre rich items, protein shakes and growth drinks.

(Btw the songs are for character development, i would recommend to listen to all of them to get an idea of how izuku's 10 Months went)

The first month was the most painful for Izuku. He would often black out from the pain of his muscles that he had to endure. Sometimes, his trainer would suggest to take rest, but his only response was

"I have to make each and every second of these 10 months count, and rest is a luxury I cannot afford"

The second month was not as painful as the first, but still bad. He had also made progress with his quirk, learning how to control how much he wanted to use and also found out that it was as stockpile quirk that absorbed solar radiation. He had also gained a little confidence, although he still stuttered while talking in a group or talking to girls. He also had Faulkner go to Musutafu and build a house at the beach where he first absorbed the solar radiation.

Izuku at this point was used to the pain. He had stopped blacking out and even trained through high fever, another example of his unbreakable willpower. Izuku had also found out that his quirk also depends on stamina as it helps convert the solar energy to kinetic energy. He had stopped stuttering and was even more confident.

Izuku no longer felt his muscles pain. He had grown taller due to the growth drinks. His hair had become a little dark and he also got a haircut (think of the post Ragnarok Thor hair colour and hair cut). He also discovered that he could divert different percentage of power to different sections of the body, thereby concluding that his threshold is 120%. He also learns that as he grows, the strength of his 120% will also increase. He was also confident enough to talk on stage during improv class and also giving an inspirational speech during a debate competition.

Izuku had become more formidable at hand to hand combat. He also found out that using 120% on his torso gives him healing ability and using 120% on his head allows him to nearly freeze time (the drawbacks are in the 3rd chapter). At this point all of the teachers of the new school were praising him because of how studious Izuku was. He was also liked by his entire class as he would always help them. But the students would never take advantage of Izuku as they too help him when he needed it. One of the students then commented that Izuku's old friends must miss him dearly, which Izuku denied. He then revealed to them that he never really friends and told them that was bullied, patronised and mistreated for being 'quirkless', and how the teacher ignored it. The whole class was in disbelief and angry. They couldn't bring themselves to believe that someone as good a Izuku never had friends and angry because the very thought of him being beaten up made their blood boil. Some of the hotheads of the class even gave them their number, so that he could call them in his hour of need

Izuku was now working on his reflexes without using his quirk. He was also training his hand-leg-eye coordination.

Izuku was also learning how to use guns, rocket launcher and also learning how to operate tanks and SPGs (with assistance). He also learned how to fly a helicopter.

Izuku was also making great school progress.

Izuku discovered that he was able to gain a type of 6th sense when he directed 20% of his power to his head. He called it 'Predator sense'.It allowed him to see through thin walls, night vision, enhanced hearing and sight, and etc,.H

e also learned that he could direct raw solar radiation to his fist to make them glow, but it didn't have any offensive effects. Izuku had developed a likeable banter filled personality because of the improv class.

Izuku had exceeded all the expectations Verner and Faulkner . Not only did he endure through the torturous routine, but he also finished his training 2 months months early.

Izuku had given his final exams, and after getting the results, he and his classmates exchanged numbers and made promises to never forget one another, and that they will always keep in touch, after which they had a party at one of the student's house and said their final goodbyes. Izuku had mastered as much as he could about his quirk. He thought which hero school to go to, and even pondered about going to Rheinmetall Heroix, but decided to follow his childhood goal of going to UA. As his final exam was over by the 10th day of the month, he used the remaining 20 days to intern with firefighters and police officers. Izuku's training had also got him 8 pack abs. Along with his height, hairstyle, emerald eyes and light freckled face meant that whenever he would visit the pool or beach, every teenage girl/woman (some 10 or even 20 years older than him) would stare at him with not so innocent eyes. That led to him covering up his body most of the time as he hated showing off. One of those days, he was threatened by some douchebag because he 'Stole all the women's attention'. But Izuku knocked him out with a single 20% uppercut. That earned him even more attention as not only was he good-looking but also strong. Moreover the douchebag was the spoilt child of some millionaire and would harass girls or women who went to that pool. So he was crowded, thanked, complemented and even kissed by some girls. Izuku somehow managed to stutter his way out of the crowd as although he could talk to girls, he was not good with girls in swimwear. After that day, Izuku swore to himself that he would never go to another public pool.

Izuku returned to Musutafu, and was very impressed by how his house turned out to be. He even thought that Faulkner had gone a little overboard with the design and size of the house, It even had its own dock and helipad.

(Basically Stark's Malibu house, but with a rooftop helipad and stairs leading down to a dock)

The house high tech in every single way possible.

As Izuku finished his training one month early, he had extra time to do whatever he wanted with the time he had before the exam, although he would still do his morning workout routine.

While going for his morning run, he came across Dagobah beach. A beach littered with garbage, Izuku frowned to see the place so dirty and remembered something that the police officer he was interning with for 10 days told him

'Just having hero status is not enough. Service is what matters'

Izuku decided to put those words to practice.
