"I want to give one to each of you, but I don't want to force you to take it, the decision is yours, so what do you think?"
For a few minutes, everyone has silent and thinking about what to do since it wasn't an easy decision to do since this could possibly make a great change in their future. I waited for their answer and after a moment the first one to talk was Kenshin
"Izuku-kun I'm honored by your consideration but for the moment I would decline your offer, I want to prove myself before taking this kind of help -de Gozaru," said Kenshin in a calm demeanor.
"Same here, to be honest, I still need to practice with my Quirk as is now, if it gets stronger so suddenly it will take me a lot of time to control it," Said Kenichi with an awkward smile.
"If this was the past maybe I would yell at you thinking that you are underestimating us, but I know that you don't estimate people worth based on strength, you are just trying to help us like the damn nerd that you always are, buy it will be fucking stupid for us to increase our strength so suddenly, your cased was very different from use since you didn't have a Quirk, so using the pill only had advantages for you," Said Katsuki after analyzing everyone's words.
I smiled at everyone, I already expected this outcome, I knew that the most probable thing to happen is that everyone rejected the offer and I'm actually quite happy about that, it shows that they will not blindly follow what I said and that they have critical thinking.
And as Katsuki said my situation was completely different from theirs, I didn't have a Quirk so the sooner I had power the better it would be, but for them, it would only have disadvantages since they still have so much room to naturally improve and obtaining more power would be like changing from using a regular car to a racing car, both are basically the same but the potency that they have its completely different.
"Very good, when you think that you are ready we will use them," I said with a smile "So now we will start your training, I always believed that a good foundation it's the best way to get stronger, your foundation it's pretty good but I think that I can improve it," I said as I materialized wrist and ankle weights.
"First put this on, Kenshin and Katsuki will start with the ones that weigh 8 kilos so in total you will have 32 kilos. Kenichi since you are the one who has more stamina than the 3 you will use the ones with kilos so in total you will have 40 kilos. You are not allowed to them off unless I say so or its an emergency, and when I see that you get used to them, I would increase the weight"
Everyone nodded at my words, but I can clearly see that Kenichi was praying to the gods for mercy.
"Oi you damn Karate-kid, don't think so much of yourself for getting more weights, I will quickly catch you." Said Katsuki with an annoyed face.
"Hahaha, you are so competitive Katsuki-kun, but he is right Kenichi we will soon catch up with you, so work hard -de Gozaru," Said Kenshin with a warm smile
I could see the desperation in Kenichi's eyes being targeted by Katsuki who always wants to compete and his brother even if he is smiling, Kenichi knows the meaning behind that smile.
"Hahaha well it's good that you're excited, well let's begging with the first lesson, I will teach you my breathing technique, this technique would help you a lot increasing the strength of your lungs, making it harder for you to get tired and also it helps you to recover your stamina pretty quick and finally it would help you to increase your mental prowess making," I explained to them
"Oooo it means that my stamina would increase even more!" Said Kenichi very excited
"Also it can help me a lot since I need a lot of concentration for using Battōjutsu at the best moment -de gozaru," Said Kenshin quite happy
The only one that didn't have a happy expression was Katsuki, he was even having cold sweat.
"You idiots this also means that we can train for a prolonged amount of time, this also means that this guy would increase the amount of training that we can handle" Said Katsuki
"But having more training is not a bad thing Katsuki-san it would only help us," Said Kenichi taunting Katsuki
Katsuki got quite angry "You don't understand you damn mongrel!, maybe you had seen that damn toothpick training in the dojo but that is just his warming training, I once trained with him after his dojo and I couldn't even complete his training"
Both Kenichi and Kenshin looked at Katsuki with a worried expression, they know that Katsuki has a large amount of physical strength and stamina, so if he couldn't finish Izuku's training it must be very hard.
"Hey, sparkles don't scare them before we start training! Maybe my training is a little bit harder than your average joe, but I would not make it impossible to finish" I'm telling the truth in this aspect, I know that my training is many times harder than the usual, but if I start with that it would only cause demerit.
"Well enough of chit-chat I will explain how to use it, first of all, you need to breathe in a specific pattern, this would increase the amount of oxygen in the blood and grow the lung capacity. I will show you the pattern and I will also give you a print version of the pattern so you can also practice alone"
"Izuku-kun is there any risk of practicing this – de gozaru? Asked Kenshin
"There is a risk if you use it incorrectly but for that reason the next couple of days, you will only practice this breathing style and do some physical training, also your are forbidden of using your Quirks for the time being since I want to focus your training in your body"
After describing a little bit about how the next couple of days we will train, I started to show them the breathing pattern is. We started slow since I didn't want them to make a mistake. After two hours I decided to move with the training.
"This is the basis of the breathing technique, with time you would be capable of doing it all the time without thinking, but first let's do some light exercise, jog for two hours while maintaining the breath pattern, it's okay if you can't keep it all the time but don't try to abruptly keep it if you miss the pace since it would harmful, just pause for a moment and start over again."
They started to jog around the field while maintaining the breathing pattern, sometimes they would make a mistake and start over, the one who is having a little more of problem it's Katsuki, maybe because he never practiced any martial arts or simply because of his nature, Kenshin was having little trouble keeping the pattern for prolonged periods of time but nothing too serious and Kenichi was the one who is doing it better, it's not a surprise since he is good at following detailed instructions and has an incredible memory so this type of training is one of the things that he excels.
After the two hours passed, they stopped jogging and noticed that they weren't as tired as they usually would be, specially Kenichi since he is barely sweating.
"Wow! Izuku-kun your breathing technique is something else, I usually do this kind of training every day but even with the weights I feel barely tired, it's like magic!!! Said Kenichi very happy
"Indeed, I would usually feel somewhat tired at this amount of training but now I just feel some tiredness in my body- de gozaru." Said Kenshin
"Oi morrons, this is not training this could barely count as a warm-up from this bastard perspective!" Said Katsuki reprimanding the two brothers.
Both of them freeze at Katsuki's words on their face they knew that this was just the starting of the training but they couldn't believe that two hours of jogging would barely qualify as warming up.
"Katsuki-san stop trying to scare us! even if this is just the start of the training there's no way that this is just a warm-up" said Kenichi turning to see my face.
I just had a small smile "Well for you to be less tired is to be expected since this technique does wonders but let me remind you that this is only the start when you master this technique you will see a whole different world."
I paused for a moment before continuing and made a serious face" But this time though I don't want to admit it, this Katsuki is right"
"Oi bastard what do you mean by that!" Said Katsuki with an angry face.
"Well like I was saying before sparkles interrupted me, this was just the warm-up so you can familiarize with the breathing technique, well now let's proceed with your real training," I said as I passed them their training schedule "In the first phase you will train the same since this is for strengthening your body not your technique, but don't worry everything will be functional training since I don't want you to have useless muscles."
This time everyone was sweating cold, the pair of brothers now realized that Katsuki's words were true and maybe he wasn't exaggerating about Izuku's training. And Katsuki had a feeling that this time the training is going to be many times worse than he expected.
I looked at their faces and knew that they were nervous. Usually, I would try to calm them down, but this time I could tease them a lot so there is no way in hell that I would miss this opportunity.
I made the same evil smile that grandpa used when he was going to make my training harder. "You don't have to worry, so let's start."
