"Lightning Dragon's Roar?! Wow!"

  Cp, cp, cp!

  Upon hearing the etsutetsu's eyebrows shot up, and his excitement grew. Without warning, he began g his hands in an overly dramatiner.

  For some reason, he seemed unusually thrilled.

  "What an awesome name!" he excimed, his voice full of admiration. "Kaminari, you're not just great at iing moves—you've got a knack for naming them too!"

  Tetsutetsu spped his chest with a sigh ret, his voice tinged with longing.

  "If my hero name 'Colossus' hadn't already been decided, I would've seriously sidered ging it to something like 'Iron Boy.' Just imagine—when I punch, I could shout 'Steel Dragon's Iron Fist!' Or when I kick, 'Steel Dragon's Iron Leg!' How cool would that be?"

  "Uh..." Kaminari's face immediately went bnk, metaphorical bck lines f above his head. He sighed softly, pletely at a loss for words.

  "You do realize nobody's actually asking you to ge your name, right?"

  "Absolutely not!" Tetsutetsu decred, rejeg Kaminari's offhand suggestion with surprising seriousness. His tone shifted to something more resolute as he tinued, "Once a hero name is chosen, it shouldn't be ged lightly. Besides, this is the name you suggested for me when we first became friends. It means a lot more to me than something like 'Iron Boy.'"

  Kaminari's disfort visibly grew. He pressed his lips together, feeling more awkward by the sed.

  " you stop saying things that are so... so seal?" Kaminari muttered, his voice filled with exasperation.

  "Seal? What do you mean?" Tetsutetsu tilted his head, fused.

  Kaminari shook his head with a sigh and waved the question away. "Fet it." He quickly ged the subject.

  "Are we still tinuing? I'm pnning to train until eight o'clock. Besides the Lightning Dragon's Roar, I've got a few smaller teiques I want to test out."

  "Of course!" Tetsutetsu nodded eagerly. "I actually took the whole day off with Daimon-seo foastering 'Shave.' My goal is to turn it into a proper, reliable teique as soon as possible!"

  "Good thinking," Kaminari said, stroking his thoughtfully. "Once you've fully mastered 'Shave,' you start w on the stage."

  " stage?" Tetsutetsu froze for a moment, his eyes widening in surprise. "There's a stage for 'Shave'?"

  Kaminari nodded, a calm and knowing expression on his face. "Yep. The 'Shave' you're practig now is just one of the teiques within a rger system. It's part of something called the 'Six Styles.' And actually, you've already unknowingly practiced two of them."

  "Wait, what?" Tetsutetsu's curiosity peaked. "You're saying I've practiced two of them? But I've only been fog on 'Shave'!"

  "That's true," Kaminari said, patiently expining. "But your Quirk naturally covers another one of the 'Six Styles': 'Iron Body.' Didn't I tell you when we first started that you'd need physical strength beyond that of an ordinary person to even begin practig 'Shave'?

  "'Iron Body' refers to hardening your body to the point where it's as tough as steel. Your Quirk already takes care of that step for you."

  "Oh! I see now!" Tetsutetsu excimed, a look of realization crossing his face. Then, with a mixture of eagerness aement, he asked, "What about the other teiques? What are they?"

  Iingly, Tetsutetsu didn't stop to question why Kaminari knew all this. To him, the term "super genius" seemed to expihing. Besides, he had absolute trust in Kaminari, whily reinforced his willio follow his guidance.

  "Alright, I'll give you a quick rundown," Kaminari said with a shrug, maintaining his calm demeanor.

  "The 'Six Styles,' as the name suggests, sist of six core teiques: 'Iron Body,' 'Finger Pistol,' 'Shave,' 'Tempest Kick,' 'Paper Arts,' and 'Moonwalk.'"

  "Eae serves as a foundation, and once mastered, you even develop unique variations tailored to your own style. But the real challenge is that once you've mastered all six, you try to learn the advaeiques: 'Life Return' and 'Six Kings Spear.'"

  Kaminari spent the en minutes givietsu an overview of each teique, carefully expining the purpose and meics of the "Six Styles." He also mentiohat the advaeiques, while theoretically possible, might be beyond their reach.

  By the end of it, Tetsutetsu looked visibly overwhelmed, his brain swimming with new information. Still, he mao focus on the parts that felt most relevant to him.

  "That 'Finger Pistol' you mentio sounds kind of like 'Iron Body,' doesn't it? I mean, isn't it just poking someoh a hardened finger?" he asked, holding up his index finger and waving it around.

  "ly," Kaminari said, suppressing a small ugh. "Well, okay, it is about stabbing someoh your finger... but it's not as simple as it sounds."

  He scratched the back of his head, trying to crify. "Think of it like this: just like 'Shave,' 'Finger Pistol' isn't just about strength, it's about speed. To master it, your finger o move as fast as a bullet. That's the real challenge."

  Tetsutetsu blinked in fusion. "So... I o stab something over and ain, as fast as I , until I reach that kind of speed?"

  "Pretty much, yeah," Kaminari replied, wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead. At least Tetsutetsu was starting to get it.

  "If you really master 'Finger Pistol,' you might even be able to break through Kirishima's 'hardened' defeh just a single finger."

  "Seriously?!" Tetsutetsu's eyes lit up with excitement. "That's awesome!"

  "Don't get ahead of yourself," Kaminari said with a grihen poi Tetsutetsu's chest, his expression turning serious.

  "Before you start w about 'Finger Pistol,' I think you should focus on learning 'Tempest Kick.' It'll help cover your ck of le attacks."

  He tinued, his tone measured and thoughtful. "Your Quirk gives you incredible defense, judo provides grappling teiques, and 'Shave' gives you mobility. If you add 'Tempest Kick,' which allows you to send sshing vacuum bdes with high-speed kicks, you'll be close to an all-around fighter."

  "If anything's missing, it's aerial mobility. But you work on that ter by learning 'Moonwalk.' Right now, it's a little too advanced for you."

  Seeing Kaminari's serious expressioetsu straightened up, treating the versation with the same focus as a diligent student.

  Although Tetsutetsu had always worked hard, it was Kaminari who had sistently guided him in the right dire. Every improvement in his strength his judo, his leg power, even his progress with 'Shave' roof of Kaminari's accurate advice.

  "Alright!" Tetsutetsu said, his voice firm. "Once I master 'Shave,' I'll start w on 'Tempest Kick!'"

  Kaminari smiled approvingly. As someone who valued hard work himself, he couldn't help but admire Tetsutetsu's determination.

  "Good. Let's keep going!"

  "God Speed, activate!"

  "Boom!"

  Without another word, Kaminari unched himself into the air, goldericity ing around his body. He took a deep breath and unleashed atack at Tetsutetsu below.

  "Bzzzzzzzt—"

  "Lightning Dragon's Roar!!"

  "Shave!"

  Whoosh!

  "Boom!!!"

  Deep in the jungle of Omiya Park, golden light erupted once more, apanied by a thunderous explosion. The sound of two teenagers relentlessly training echoed through the trees.
