Ōtsuki Station

11:45 AM

Himiko: Wow Izuku, I can't believe your mom is really going send you that much money, my parents would...

Me: I'm just happy that she isn't mad at me for leaving

Himiko: So does this mean you want to take the train, I mean you have the money now right?

Me: I'm having the most fun I'd ever had in along time, if it's okay, I would like to keep walking. But we should go get some supplies like a... *being cut off by a question from a really short old man with a cane*

Old Man: Hey you excuse me but you are Izuku Midoryia

Himiko: *stepping in front on Izuku* What do you want with him Old Man?

Old Man: First I should introduce myself My name is Sorahiko Torino or as you may know me Gran Torino

Me: *thinking where he had heard that name before* Gran Torino... what are you doing here

Gran Torino: Looking for you of course

Me: What do you mean by looking for me, why would you want to look for me?

Gran Torino: I was All Might's teacher and All Might wanted me to train you

Me: Why would you want to do that, just because of All Might, what does he want?

Gran Torino: I made a promise to an old friend that I would help all of the One For All users

Himiko: Well old man we are walking to Hosu so you can't come

Gran Torino: Why not?

Himiko: Umm your an old man

Gran Torino: Listen how about this, I want to train Izuku and nothing else. I won't influence him in any direction about his views or ideology. All I want to do is train you and maybe you too *referring to Himiko*

Himiko: Then let's see your strength, if you can beat both of us then you can train us, right Izuku

Me: He was sent by All Might but he seems dedicated to train me... Okay.. yeah if you can beat me and Himiko then you can train us

Gran Torino: Deal *walks towards the exit* come along let's find a place for our battle

We followed Gran Torino to an old Baseball field about 20 minutes from the train station

Gran Torino: Okay  I'll let you move first when ever you are ready

With that Izuku and Himiko prepared to fight. Izuku took off his trench coat leaving him in his suit. Izuku flicked his wrists two knives hidden in my sleeves landed in my hands. Himiko pulled out two knives as well. Readying ourselves we ran towards Gran Torino

Gran Torino: huh *shocked* your using knives and not One For All?

Me: No need *smirking*

Using my training with Himiko and the strength training from All Might I was able to keep up with Grand Torino. Gran Torino was fast but I could tell he was holding back. But with that said he was able to dodge all off our strikes.

Gran Torino: Hmmm Izuku Midoriya your surprise me but...

With those words without warning Gran Torino seemed to speed up then in an instant kicked me in the back flinging me into the fence.

Himiko: You will pay for that old man!!

Himiko somehow manged to  blitz Gran Torino slashing him in the check, just before he knocked her to the ground as well

Gran Torino: You kids really are something, I over heard you too wanted to go shopping for supplies am I right?

Me: *shrugging off the injures sustained by Gran Torino* Yeah we were

Gran Torino: Okay go shopping and meet me back here at 3:00

Me: Um okay. Did you hear that Himiko?

Himiko: *frustrated* I did promise him

Me: Even when she is mad she is so cute *turns to Gran Torino* deal  we will see you in a bit

Gran Torino: Oh one more thing?

Me: What is it?

Gran Torino: Can you get me some Taiyaki?

This was the first day Izuku began to train with Gran Torino, closer and closer to Hosu however Izuku had never expected that something else was in the works...


As you may have noticed I have been using real world locations for the story. I choose these locations because I did  a lot of research on where Hosu was and what the scenic route may have been like. I picked this train station in particular because this would match up to my estimate of Gran Torino's house in relation to Hosu City. I hoped you like my introduction to Gran Torino, I felt like no matter what Gran Torino had to be part of the story in a more direct way then he had been in the cannon. He is an interesting character with his connection to One For All and his quirky (no pun intended) personality makes him a character I enjoyed. If you have any feedback please don't hesitate to tell me in the comment section.
