After escaping from the temptation incarnate that is his Succubus mother, Izuku quickly ran out of the bathroom, dried his body, and calmed himself down in his room.
He really wanted to let one out but the previous Izuku had nothing he could use as a reference, and using Inko as one is a bit out of his morals right now, so, he did the next best thing.
"SHINRA TENSEI!"
*Small Boom*
…
"Huff…okay, that did it," Izuku was on all fours once more after his second cast. Lucky for him, the window in his room is facing nothing, allowing him to blow his load out without any consequences.
The fatigue of casting a Shinra Tensei had completely removed any dirty thoughts he had about Inko, at least for now. He flopped down on the ground and felt his body sweating.
'Guess I'll take another bath after we eat,'
Izuku quickly wiped his sweat off and wore his usual clothing, a simple T-Shirt and short training pants.
Leaving his room, Izuku saw that his mother had already gone out of the bath and into her room. Thankfully, his mother had no trouble putting on her clothes, at least not enough to warrant help from him.
Though, one thing he noticed is that she wasn't wearing a bra, presumably due to its hard-to-wear nature. Whether that's a good or a bad thing, Izuku couldn't decide yet.
"Are you sure you can make dinner like that?" Izuku asked. He saw her struggling to even take out the frying pan from the above counter.
"No…I don't think I can," Inko said. She put her hand on her chin, thinking for a while before asking, "We could order food, or…Do you want to learn cooking with mom?"
In his past life, Izuku had no one to prepare food for him, and with money being limited, cooking is basically mandatory. He already had decent culinary skills, but he definitely wouldn't refuse a chance to bond with his new mother.
Izuku believed that in the future, opportunities like this would be few and far in between. Above all, this is a genuine opportunity for him to experience what it's like to be taught life skills by a mother, a luxury he didn't previously have.
Izuku might still be uncomfortable with this new body, but doing simple tasks that don't require precision is still doable. He pretended not to know anything about cooking and followed her instructions to the dot.
He noticed a few differences between what he used to do and what a typical Japanese cook would do. They were manageable, but it took him several attempts to get a Japanese fried egg or tamagoyaki just right. To say it was a hassle to make would be an understatement.
At least it tastes nice and unique, so all the effort turned out to be worth it. He'd still prefer a convenient fried egg over it though.
"I feel like you're a natural…" Inko commented as she took a bite out of the pan-seared salmon Izuku grilled. She felt her pride as a housewife was challenged. It was his first time cooking, you know.
Izuku received the praise without any inhibitions. He knew she was exaggerating. The food barely reached restaurant level, but her praise does still feel good, he thought.
The night soon ended with Izuku not having any chance to take another bath. Inko stayed with him the rest of the time and when it was time to rest, she insisted on sleeping together.
She practically played with his heart as she stared at him with innocence, not giving him the chance to refuse. Not to mention that Inko had always slept while hugging a bolster, so Izuku had to take its place regrettably. Yes, Izuku had to regrettably do it.
Trust him. He did not want this to happen too.

After another round of Shinra Tensei to calm his mind and body down, Izuku wrote a note to Inko saying that he will be working out.
The sun had just come out but Izuku was already raring to go. He had barely two years to catch up with everyone who had been training their body to enter U.A High, it was not too short, but not too long either.
Though, entering U.A. High is only one of the reasons for his excitement. Another was the glaring improvement in his body's state. Previously, he had to work out to keep his intimidating body in shape so that he could do his job more easily; this time, the euphoria of becoming stronger is his motivator.
It's like playing an idle game. He enjoys seeing numbers rise.
Lin was still sleeping beside Inko on the bed, so he left her there as well and went out. The sky was barely lit by the rising sun and it was the perfect atmosphere to start his day.
Izuku started it off with a simple run, as far as he can get with no rest. Without any equipment, he couldn't really tell how far he had run but he had been running for 30 minutes now.
Running for 30 minutes at full speed took quite a toll on his body. Half the time, he wasn't even paying attention to where he was going. All he could think about is right foot, left foot, right foot…
A few moments later, his body suddenly failed him as he stumbled down to the ground. It wasn't a bad fall, rather, the solid patch of grass he chose felt like a bed for his exasperated body.
Anyone else in the same situation wouldn't even be able to remember their way back home, much less walk back, but not Izuku. 10 minutes later, he promptly stood his body up with ease, already fully recovered from the fatigue, and started to backtrack his way.
His performance garnered quite a few eyes at him, but he was too focused, not noticing that a certain pair of eyes glimmered when he ran past them.

As he reached the park he was in yesterday, Izuku didn't feel as tired even though he ran the basically same distance. He unceremoniously hogged the park's water fountain, drinking for 5 minutes straight while trying to refresh his mind.
He then took into a corner of the forest and jumped up and down. He carefully observe his legs and noticed that muscles are starting to define themselves on his calves, albeit still very minimal.
'I kind of get anime protagonists now, getting stronger is just fun…' Izuku thought.
He looked at his watch and noticed Inko might still not be awake, so he still had some time to spare. He looked around and noticed that no one was there, and began to sit down with his legs crossed.
There were a few things he wanted to try out, one of them being related to his quirk. Chakra.
Izuku obviously doesn't remember everything about it, as he hadn't even finished the whole naruto series, but he remembered that it's basically internal energy, or qi, or whatever.
If he could cast something as advanced as rinnegan's abilities, then he should at the very least have some amount of it in his body, right?
As it turns out, Izuku couldn't feel anything. There's no such thing as chakra or internal energy inside his body. Rather, the only thing he discovered is that he looked stupid when trying to find it.
Izuku then tried to cast a Bansho Ten'in, the counterpart to Shinra Tensei. Instead of forcing out, he forced in, and sure enough, it worked just about as well as his first Shinra Tensei.
Everything near his target was drawn into his right palm, with objects closer to him being drawn much stronger. Even after a few casts, Izuku still couldn't quite control the output or accuracy of his quirk.
'Oh right, this is a quirk world…Maybe god changes the input. Instead of using chakra, it uses energy,' Izuku thought.
He hoped for that to not be true since the conversion rate between how much stamina/energy he needed compared to the power of his quirk isn't exactly very generous right now.
