[It helps that he's glad to finally have a goal to throw himself at, and also that he's got Katsuki to help push him along. Without both of those things, he wouldn't have been nearly as fast, but once he's decided on a course of action, there's no reason to hold back.

He'd been glad to hear back from Hijikata, though, and the man's offer of lessons is still gratefully accepted. His quirk is strong, and with a Moonblessed partner chroma is less of an issue than it once was, but he's still been here long enough to appreciate the value of a fighting skill that can't be taken away from him. And it's nice, having something that he needs to put his entire body into learning. It's been a while since he's done this kind of thing.

The session is a good one, and Hijikata is a good teacher, and Shouto nods as he pulls out his phone to take pictures from several angles of both grip and foot placement.]

Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to teach me. I've got my quirk, but this place is unpredictable. It'll be nice to have a way to fight that can't be taken away with...magic, or whatever abilities this place has.
