Days pass by, the situation at school has been pretty well. More and more kids started talking to Izuku. Katsuki was skeptical at first, sure. He kept glaring at everyone, but after Izuku told him to stop it, he stopped. This left Katsuki doing stuff like ruining other people's lives and calling people extra, stuff like that. Old habits die hard, I guess?
Speaking of, once the fat ass kid got better, he actually came for vengeance and even brought some stupid looking kids.
The result? They left crying with burn marks and bruises, courtesy of Katsuki while Yoshiki just cheered him on the background and Izuku... well, he fainted in the middle of persuading Yoshiki to help Katsuki.
One morning, Yoshiki woke up to his parents telling him to go wash off and clean as they are going out together.
He cleaned, ate breakfast, then brushed his teeth. Upon completion, they went out just in time to see Mitsuki along with Katsuki and the Midoriyas inside a car. They bounded up to them, he shares fist bump with his friends and then they were off.
Their stop was at a dojo. Yoshiki looked at the sign that says 'Ojiro Dojo' in it. Izuku was already hyperventilating, gushing about how the owner was the infamous Martial Arts Hero: Devilion.
Yoshiki knows the name, he was quite famous in the way that he had retired only to help the future generation learn how to protect themselves and also to be there for his wife who was pregnant at the time. It was a very romantic thing, and quite inspiring.
They got closer and he realized how spacious it really was. He could see many people of all gender inside. Some are children with various features, while some are already adults grappling, throwing, sparring.
There all kinds of equipment in the dojo, it was clean for most parts.
Izuku was already bouncing all over the place seeing as there are actually active heroes training inside. He knows every name of any heroes, even their Quirks. How can he even memorze that? Is that not his actual Quirk after all? A neural Quirk, maybe?
Inside, they saw a huge man, blonde hair, horns and a long tail on his back. This was Devilion or Kitan Ojiro.

Izuku was the first to ran up to him asking for an autograph.
"Omygoshohmygosh i-it's Devilion! MAY I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH, SIR???!!" his eyes were all but shining, he was shaking while holding out a notebook and marker.
Where did he get that?
"Haha, I love your enthusiasm but you can just call me Ojiro-sensei. I'm already retired, you know?" he chuckled but Yoshiki can see in his eyes nostalgia and longing perhaps? Kitan Ojiro took Izuku's notebook and signed it then gave it back to him.
"O-Of course, Ojiro-sensei!" Izuku was bowing repeatedly now. Inko went besides her son and apologized for her son's behavior. Seriously, what is with the Midoriyas and apologizing?
Soon, the parents had a talk about the kids' enrollment at the dojo. This dojo was actually free of cost. All the money spent here came from charity. Kitan Ojiro did this so anyone can come and go and learn without worrying about any payment. Yeah, I'm looking at you crocodiles.

Moments later, they were inside a big room. There were kids of different ages along with them while the parents were watching on from the side. They started with stretching as Ojiro-sensei facilitated them.
Sooner they were trying their limits with splits. At first it was hard, even Katsuki's face was taut with hardship. Izuku was just trying his best, while Yoshiki was fully split. This was thanks to his Quirk which can do anything a human can... but better. Except copy other's Quirks of course... or can he..? (He can't, promise.)
After this, they went on to jog around the room. After coming from splitting, most of the kids can't even stand, while some like Katsuki who has a lot of ego, and Izuku who was just trying his best, and Yoshiki who was taunting them both continued the jog.
After a while, the jog ended. Izuku was already dead on the ground while Katsuki was hunched over taking deep breaths. Yoshiki for his part was just taunting Katsuki whose palms are already smoking.
He was interrupted by a voice coming from the side.
"That's awesome, dude. Are you not tired at all?" he looked to see a blonde kid sitting there, taking a break. The most prominent part about him was a tail at his back. The kid saw Yoshiki looking at his tail and he moved it to a wave. "Name's Mashirao, Mashirao Ojiro. And you are?"
"Oh, Mashirao... Ojiro? Name's Yoshiki Hayashi. Are you..?" he answered while extending a hand. Mashirao took it and answered.
"Yeah, I'm his child. Nice to meet you, Yoshiki-san."
"Tsk, I bet I can beat ya up in front of yer old man." interrupted a voice from the side. This was, of course, Explosion God Murder.
"His name is Katsuki, by the way. Don't mind him." Yoshiki said before something else happened. Mashirao just scratched his head and said it's fine, no harm done.
"Damn blonde extra." says Katsuki as he swipes of his sweat.
"Says the blonde." Mashirao said which stunned Katsuki.
"What did ya say, ya extra?!" Katsuki stood up, palms sparking. Ready to come to blows. What a spectacular kid, really.
"I said—" Mashirao was about to say something but thankfully Ojiro-sensei came.
"What's this about?" "Uh- Father, this.."
"We're just asking each other's Quirks, Ojiro-sensei." Yoshiki to the rescue, hung his arms around the two blonde kid's shoulder, bringing them close. "Right, guys?"
"Right."
"Yeah."
Ojiro-sensei looked at them for a moment before deciding it's okay but before he departed he ruffled Mashirao's hair saying it's good that he's making friends.
Huffing, Katsuki shrugged off Yoshiki's hand and trutted up to Izuki asking him if he's alive. Yoshiki apologized for Katsuki's behavior and told Mashirao that he's actually a great guy, he's just Tsundere. Mashirao laughed it off saying it was nothing. Wow, what a great kid. Sigh.
They continued on after the break as Ojiro-sensei facilitated them through the basics. It was great. The parents agreed so. Their schedule was every weekend, they are to go to the dojo and train. Days turns to weeks, weeks turns to some more weeks and turns to months. 12 months is a year, while a year is 365 days, or 366 depending if it's a leap year or not. This is not for word count, promise.
Along the way, due to the continous sparring, getting thrown to the ground, getting hit, getting concussed, getting hit by all different kinds of Quirks. Yoshiki has started to feel himself toughen up. Quite literally. His skin becomes tough, his muscles are rock hard. One time even a hot burning water didn't scald him. This was due to Katsuki blasting him up with explosions during sparrings where Quirks are usable. His regenerative ability also seemed to speed up. Broken bones which takes weeks or months to recover only takes a few days, depending on how bad it was. His senses has gotten sharp as well. He even tried blindfolding himself to try it.
The result was that it hurt bumping on walls.
Just like that, 6 years has passed.
