A few minutes after Nighteye went away, he came back with Kuroha and Mirio in tow.

Kuroha took a seat without speaking and closed his eyes. He was very tired. But he still had to deal with some little problem.

Finally, after a while, Izuku finally found the strength to open his mouth

”What was it about?”

Nighteye went toward the kitchen in order to prepare some coffee. Kuroha, eyes still closed answered

”He gave you a chance. I won't lie to you. Uncle Toshinori is a shitty teacher.”

”What?”

”Hum...I may go too far in saying that he is a shitty teacher. More precisely, he isn't suited to teaching anything related to quirks or martial art.”

Kuroha, even without opening his eyes could feel Izuku confusion. Since he decided to trait him more kindly, he decided to give a more detailed explanation

”You see. He is a genius. No more like, he was born for this quirk. He should have explained to you the strain One For All put on the body right?”

He didn't wait for Izuku to answer before continuing

”This strain never affected him. The very moment he obtained the quirk, he was immediately able to use it perfectly. His body was perfectly suited for One For All. But you?”

Kuroha opened his eyes and looked directly at Izuku as he said that. Nighteye who come back with his coffee continued where kuroha stopped

”I dare to say that if you follow All Might training plan, you won't finish before the start of the exam. Even then, From the knowledge I have of this power, it would be a miracle if you didn't blow up an arms or two and slowly destroy your body with each use.”

”Why? If this power comes with such a high strain, only those who already had strength type quirk should be able to use it.”

Izuku didn't understand. All Might told him about the strain, but from what he told, those few months of training should be able to barely meet the mark. Kuroha sighed,

”You seem so smart usually, why did you become suddenly so stupid. Should I make you remember one of the features of One For All.”

When he heard those words, it was like thunder struck him. He muttered in disbelief,

”It becomes stronger.”

How could he have forgotten such simple details? Kuroha clapped with an expressionless look. It seemed he didn't have to say more. Indeed Izuku continued his deduction

”One for All become stronger after each succession. It's not all. The degree of strengthening should depend on how much it was cultivated by the previous user. All Might is without a doubt the strongest user of One for All and also the one who used it the longest. Right?”

Nighteye let out a smile before opening his mouth.

”Exactly. You totally understood the situation. This means two things. One, it will allow you to potentially surpass All Might in the future. Two and without a doubt most importantly, it will be way harder for you to control it.”

He paused before hammering the final nail

”All Might training plan might have worked for the version he obtained. But for the one, he will give you this amount of training will be far far far from enough.”

Izuku was thinking deeply and quickly. One of the few things he could be really proud of was his analytical power. It didn't take long for him to reach an answer. He bowed deeply toward Nighteye and said,

”PLEASE HELP ME!!!”

Yes, this was the answer he found. He didn't know what metric Nighteye was using to test him, but it wouldn't hurt to learn more.

”Oh…”

Kuroha was surprised to see him bow like that. This sight made him remember the day when Mirio bowed in the same way in front of Nighteye. When he turned to look at Mirio, he could see the same expression of surprise.

One thing that Nighteye always told him was that there's absolutely no shame in begin help from someone better. The shame only came when one let his pride cloud his judgement. Izuku might not know this, but Kuroha was sure that he scored some point with this move

Indeed, after a while, Nighteye opened his mouth and said,

”The initial plan was for 10 months. We will reduce it to 8. Two months should be enough for you to have a basic understanding of your quirk. The result of my deal with you will also have it result at the end of those eight months.”

Izuku nodded.

”I will inform All Might that I will take over your training. Your training will be divided into two different phases on week-day. Morning, and night. If it becomes too hard for you... ”

Nighteye took a pause

”...If it becomes too hard for you, you just have to tell me and I will adjust the intensity.”

Izuku nodded, but internally, he wanted to curse. This guy just tricked him. He didn't know Nigheye criteria. It could be tenacity or understanding of one's own limit.

If it was the former and he asked the reduction of the regime, he would lose. If it was later and he stubroninaly continued with a flawed training plan, he would also lose.
