Izuku is slammed into the ground of the beach as August looks down at him. Izuku quickly gets back up and attempts to land even a single punch on August. Swinging left and right Izuku uses what little he learned from August in hopes of landing even a single hit.

August effortlessly dodges all of Izuku's attacks. Izuku's teacher does take not that Izuku is getting better but since his training has just started he of course still has a lot to learn.

Dodging another of Izuku's punches August slaps Izuku across the face. Izuku stumbles back before feeling the same impact three more times.

Izuku falls on the sand of the beach while rubbing his cheek. "So that's what Ki feels like," Izuku says while laying down on the ground.

"You're definitely getting better Izuku," August says with a smirk as he helps Izuku to his feet.

"How do you move so fast?" Izuku asks as he stands on his two feet.

August chuckles as he looks at his student. "Lots of hard work. I've trained my ass off to get where I am now, and I wasn't born with any fancy power to help me." August says with a smile as he puts his hand on Izuku's shoulder. "In this world, Izuku never let anyone who hasn't worked hard for what they have, be the one to tell you what you can and can't do," August says to Izuku while laying back on a pile of trash.

"So you ready for tonight?" August asks his students

"I think so, just as long as we don't do anything too crazy. I mean how crazy can a single patrol get?" Izuku jokes while scratching the back of his head

"Very," August says bluntly as he looks at his student. "Remeber it's not just villains you have to contend with. Pro heroes, the police, even other vigilantes will come after you along with the villains." August explains. "Though for your first patrol you're gonna be observing what I do, how I fight, how I use Ki, and how to work the battlefield," August explains "So once your mom goes to bed get your suit on, sneak out your window, and I'll be there," August explains

"I'll see you tonight August," Izuku says

"Training is done for today. Get some rest since we'll be up for a while tonight. Seeya kid." August says while walking away, with a wave. Once August is out of sight Izuku looks toward the car he had attempted to use ki on before.

breathing out and reeling his fist back Izuku punches the car as hard as he can only for the pain to fill his fist. "OW!" Izuku shouts while holding his fist close to him.

"You're doing it wrong." Says an old stern voice. Izukus looks behind him to see the old man that worked the front desk at August's apartment

"Your physiology is different from others." The old man explains. "The quirkless are different from those with quirks trying to us Ki. Without a quirk, ki flows through one's body as natural as blood." The old man continues. "You're putting too much effort into actually using it. For you, it should happen with little to no thought. I've come to envy the quirkless due. My family has kept Ki alive for centuries and due to my quirk I have to train constantly to not lose my ability to use. However, you need little effort to use it, then one day." The man then moves his fist toward the car and delivers a one-inch punch to the car's door. 

"You will be just as strong perhaps even stronger than August." With a small yet powerful burst of wind, the old man moves his hand away from the car door to reveal a hole punches straight through it. Even the other door has a hole. This completely surprises Izuku. The force and mastery of this attack, it's leagues ahead of anything he can do.

"August is capable of this as well. He might even be stronger than I, but you. I can feel it, you have the potential to be the strongest Ki user in history." The old man says before beginning to walk away.

"W-wait who are you!" Izuku shouts.

The older man looks back at Izuku. "My name is Gero Baston, August's teacher, legal guardian, and the owner of the apartment complex he lives at."

With that Gero walks away leaving Izuku with that demonstration of power and those words. Izuku looks down at his hand. "The strongest Ki user?" Izuku says to himself.

(Scene change dark alleyway, dusk)

August walks into an alleyway before moving his head to the left. You shouldn't smoke Zero it's bad for." August smirks

"In a time like this, I'll need a few more of these," Zero explains while moving away from the wall he was leaning on. "They're out."

"Who are?" August asks

"Who the hell do you think?!" Shouts/ask Gaz as he walks up to August

"Yeah, your right. Best stop joking around. So the Seven Bosses are free?" August asks while looking past Gaz, at Zero.

"Yeah, them and their men," Zero says as Gaz chimes in

"The underground prison they were being kept in was torn to shit. No surviving guards, all security has been taken with them or destroyed, and they've gone completely off the grid." Gaz explains to his old friend.

"They won't be back on the grid for a while. One of the big reasons I was able to take them down was due to the big names they made for themselves both under and above ground. So they'll be hiding out while they think of a plan. Since this time pro heroes will be able to come after them too." August explains while rubbing his chin

"I have some scouts from my business combing the underground but nothing has come of it so far," Zero explains

"Same, I got my boys working on the clubs, alleyways, warehouses, and bars that those scum bagd might like to hide out in, but nothing. They've gone off the grid faster than a father that didn't want the kid." Gaz shrugs

"Messed up joke aside. The only thing we can do now is wait, but we also have to be ready. They'll be coming after use and with the League of villains also beginning their attack on the hero world there's a major possibility of the two sides joining forces." August says to his friends as a new voice joins the group.

"We'll be ready, but will you August?" Asks this new voice.

Turning around August sees his old friend Charmi Fuyuki.

"You haven't had to fight anyone on their caliber for a while now. Are you still up for this?" Charmi asks

"You don't have to worry about me Charmi. I've never been more ready. Plus this time. I ain't going in alone." August says with a smirk

"I knew it. You haven't changed at all." Says Charmi with a smirk
