"Reggae," Kaminari said with a grin.

  Tetsutetsu, still sitting cross-legged on the ground, nodded hesitantly. "Yeah, that s. It felt like I ossessed or something… like a ghost was trolling me."

  Kaminari's expression shifted, and he asked, "How do you feel?"

  Tetsutetsu blinked, not immediately uanding what Kaminari was getting at. "Huh? What do you mean?"

  "The feeling of fighting!" Kaminari crified, his eyes lighting up with excitement. He raised his hands, small arcs of electricity crag between his fingers. "Didn't you feel it? The thrill of using your Quirk to its fullest, of g with someone else at full power wasn't it exhirating?"

  Tetsutetsu thought back to their sparring session. There was definitely something different about the experience, something he hadn't felt in the fifteen years he'd lived. The csh between his steel body and Kaminari's lightning had felt like a dance of opposing forces, each trying to overwhelm the other. It was as if every punch, every shock, had resohrough his entire being.

  He couldn't deny it fighting like that had felt like gulping down ice-cold soda on a scorg summer day, every ingling with a strange kind of joy. And then there was that one moment…

  Tetsutetsu recalled the rush of satisfa he'd felt when he'd mao catch Kaminari's movements out of the er of his eye, relying on pure instinct to turn and face his oppo in time. It had felt like he'd quered something, overe a hurdle through sheer determination and wits. The feeling was almost as rewarding as the day he'd passed the U.A. written exam.

  However, his expression shifted slightly as he looked at Kaminari and said, "But you're the one who was doing most of the beating. If anyone was having a good time, it was yht?"

  Kaminari almost choked on his own ughter. "The way this guy words things..." He couldn't help but cough and quickly steer the versation ba track. "Alright, alright, let's not get hung up on who had the better time," he said, trying to keep a straight face.

  "Let's talk about your Quirk."

  Tetsutetsu blinked, momentarily thrown off track. "My Quirk? What about it?"

  "Have you ever trained your Quirk before?" Kaminari asked, tilting his head slightly.

  "Trained? No," Tetsutetsu replied, his brows furrowing in fusion. "I thought Quirks were just… well, you know, natural. You're born with them, right?"

  "That's true," Kaminari nodded, "but that doesn't mean they 't be improved. Think of it like w out. You build your muscles arohrough exercise, and the same logic applies to Quirks."

  "Wait a sed… That means…" Tetsutetsu's eyes widened as realization dawned. He looked around the clearing and remembered what Kaminari had told him before. "So this is where you've been training your Quirk? All those things you just did—your speed, that Reggae move were they all developed here?"

  "That's right," Kaminari firmed. "I started training my Quirk here nine years ago after reading some professional reports online about Quirk development. I figured if I could make my body strohrough regur exercise, then I could definitely strengthen my Quirk too."

  "Nine years… all on your own?" Tetsutetsu muttered, his voice trailing off. For some reason, his frustration over losing to Kaminari started to fade, repced by a newfound respect for the boy standing in front of him.

  Tetsutetsu g the cracked ground and the scorch marks scattered across the clearing. There was no doubt Kaminari had put in years of hard work. Every mark was a testament to tless hours of training.

  Tetsutetsu ched his fists. "So… does that mean I make my Quirk strohrough training too?"

  "Theoretically, yes," Kaminari replied, "but I'm not a professional Quirk instructor, so I 't say for sure what kind of training would work best for your Quirk."

  Tetsutetsu's excitement dipped slightly, but then he remembered that they would be attending U.A. soon. "Well, U.A.'s full of pro Heroes, right? I'm sure I find someohere who help me train my Quirk," he said, his fideurning.

  "Exactly. I have my owions I want to ask the instructors there too," Kaminari said as he stood up and stretched. His legs had gone a bit stiff from sitting for so long.

  "But ohing is for sure, training your body will definitely help improve your Quirk, especially since your type of Quirk probably relies more on physical strength."

  "In that case, I'll ask my dad to find me a gym tomorrow!" Tetsutetsu excimed, g his fists.

  "And don't fet to e here and spar with me often," Kaminari added, adopting a mock serious expression. "bat experience is just as important as physical training. We've got the practical exam ing up, and if you're not used to fighting, you might end up freezing up when it matters most."

  He tinued, "I'm willing to bet a lot of the other students taking the exam have never used their Quirks at full strength before. They probably haven't even had any real bat experiehat gives us a big advantage."

  Kaminari's words seemed to hit home, aetsu nodded eagerly. He hadn't thought about it before, but it made sense. Most people never got the ce to push their Quirks to the limit, and having an edge in experience could be the key to passing the practical exam.

  "Also, even though your Quirk gives you great strength and defe has some obvious weaknesses," Kaminari said as he walked over to the pstic table, grabbing a chair.

  "Like what?" Tetsutetsu asked, following him.

  "For starters, your speed and agility," Kaminari said bluntly. "If you're up against someone faster or someoh le attacks, you'll have a hard time. If they keep their distand wear you down, you won't be able to catch up, let alone nd a hit."

  He tinued, "It's a big problem if you 't close the gap. If your oppo choose when to engage and when to retreat, you'll always be on the losing side."

  Tetsutetsu frowned. "But that's just how my Quirk works, right? It's not like I ge that."

  "There are ways to pensate," Kaminari said, shaking his head. "I remember reading that U.A. also has a Support Course. They train students to bee support Heroes, and part of their job is to develop gear and gadgets for pro Heroes."

  He g Tetsutetsu. "So, the easiest way to cover your weaknesses would be to get some suppear maybe a uo trap oppos at a distance or some kind of booster boots to help increase your movement speed."

  Hearing this, Tetsutetsu's face lit up. "That's awesome! I didn't know there were things like that," he said excitedly.

  "But don't get too reliant on suppear," Kaminari added, his tone serious. "If you depend too mu gadgets, you might get caught off guard when you're forced to fight without them. For people like us who have strong Quirks, it's better to have a teique or strategy that we've trained ourselves."

  "I see… That makes seetsutetsu nodded. He was starting to see the bigger picture.

  "Actually, I think there's a trainihod that could work for you," Kaminari said, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. "It's… unventional, and it's not something I've ever tried myself, but given your physical dition, it might be just the thing you need."

  Tetsutetsu was intrigued. "Really? What is it?"

  "Well," Kaminari began slowly, "I've seen this teique in an old anime I used to watch… It involves using the body's natural strength and speed in a very specific way. If you master it, you could achieve bursts of speed that would let you close the distaween you and your oppo in an instant."

  He rubbed his thoughtfully. "It's difficult, though. If I had to rate it, I'd say it's an S-css teique in terms of training difficulty. But… given your physique, there's actually a ce it could work."

  Tetsutetsu's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "Tell me more! What's the teique?"

  Kaminari took a breath. "Alright, listen carefully…"
