Saitama will give his Secret training

Izuku's eyes now seemed to be sparkled he really excited. The teen's expression was so bright that even Saitama could notice it. Hence, it was with that confidence that Saitama revealed his secret.

"ONE HUNDRED PUSH UPS! ONE HUNDRED SITUPS! AND ONE HUNDRED SQUATS!"

Izuku was totally surprised.

"THEN A TEN KILOMETER RUN! EVERY SINGLE DAY!"

Saitama didn't stop there though. He seemed to be in his moment, whether Izuku was believing him or not.

"And of course, I made sure to eat three meals daily. Just a banana in the morning was fine. But I never ever used the air conditioner in the summer or heat in the winter so I could strength my mind. In the beginning, if you did this, you'll wish you were dead. You might start thinking 'What's the harm of taking a day off?' But for me, in order to be a strong hero, even if I was spitting blood I never stopped. I tucked it out and endured the pain. I did squats even when my legs felt like they couldn't move. Even when my arms started making weird clicking noises, I kept doing pushups. A year and a half later I started to notice a difference…I was bald! And I had become stronger! In other words, you got to train like hell to the point that where your hair falls out! That's the only way to become truly strong. Guys fooling around with their quirk and wanting fame and fortune, they can only go so little far. Human beings are strong because we can always change ourselves."

Izuku was speechless, with the same for his expression. It had only been a second since Saitama had said all those words and come to an end. Hence, upon seeing the teen's face, Saitama's serious face deflated with a sigh as he came to a conclusion.

"It's okay if you don't believe me. All Might thought I was playing some joke on him at the –"

'T-That's so cool!" Izuku exclaimed brightly.

Saitama was surprised. A second ago he had been certain that the teen thought he was joking or lying. But now, the thought was gone, especially as he saw the teen's eyes sparkling brightly like the stars at night. It was assuring, but at the same time odd until he spoke again, this time a bit sheepishly.

"Ha…ha. Um…sorry about that." Izuku apologized. "I just think it's pretty cool to know I'm not alone. So…if you don't mind…can I try your training workout plan?"

Saitama smiled a bit. "Sure. Go for it."

"Yes! Thank you!" Izuku exclaimed happily.

"But…" Saitama suddenly added. His response right there caught Izuku by surprise and got his attention at him again. And it was good because the Pro Hero was serious again. "You can use my training workout plan, but don't do it to the extent I did. There was a price for becoming this strong and I don't want a teenager with a bright future like yourself to go through the anti-social life I went through at your age. Understood?"

"Understood." Izuku nodded.

"And another thing." Saitama added. "All Might is your teacher, so listen to him well. He may joke around a bit too much, but he means well. As for the training workout plan…how about doing it till the day of the entrance exam? That sounds good, right?"

"Yes, It does." Izuku answered.

Just then a thought entered the teen's mind. It didn't concern the Pro Hero before him, but rather another thing that immediately made him to widen his eyes in shock. As a result, realization dawned on the teen and made him panic to his feet.

"Oh no! I'm going to be late for school!" He screamed.

Saitama blinked with a stoic expression. He understood the teen's situation, but for his own reasons did not react anywhere close to him. Hence, he watched as the teen ran to his shoes, which were at the door, while blabbering about how he wouldn't be able to make it to school on time. But then, after giving it a thought, the Pro Hero finally reacted by casually walking to Izuku and lifting him off from the ground and onto his back.

Caped Bal…I mean Saitama, what are you -?" Izuku asked. The teen had grabbed on to the Pro Hero's back on instinct, but was now surprised and nervous.

"I'm helping you out. Now hold on." Saitama replied.

Izuku nodded in response. He was still nervous from Saitama's action, but not to the point that he would feel uncertain of him. Thus, with his hands still holding on to the hero, he was led outside of the hero's apartment, where he then let out a loud scream when Saitama ran off in high speed.
