Tanjiro was busy training for the U.A. recommendation exams, but he had a rare day off from his rigorous schedule. He decided to spend the day exploring the city, enjoying the sights and sounds of the bustling metropolis.
As he walked through a crowded market, he stumbled upon a small, awkward-looking boy who seemed to be struggling to keep up with the crowd. The boy's eyes were wide with wonder, and he was staring at everything around him with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.
Tanjiro couldn't help but notice the boy's enthusiasm, and he smiled to himself. He remembered when he was once like that, full of wonder and excitement about the world.
Just as Tanjiro was about to continue on his way, the boy accidentally bumped into him, spilling his belongings all over the ground.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry!" the boy exclaimed, frantically trying to gather his scattered items.
Tanjiro chuckled and helped the boy pick up his belongings. "It's okay, it happens to the best of us," he said with a smile.
As they stood up, Tanjiro noticed that the boy was wearing a U.A. High School uniform. "You're a U.A. student?" Tanjiro asked, his curiosity piqued.
The boy nodded eagerly. "Yeah, I'm Izuku Midoriya, and I'm a first-year student at U.A."
Tanjiro's eyes widened in surprise. "No way, I'm training to take the U.A. recommendation exams," he said, feeling a sense of camaraderie with the boy.
Izuku's eyes lit up with excitement. "Really? That's awesome! I've heard great things about the exams."
Tanjiro and Izuku talked for a while, exchanging stories and advice about their shared goal of becoming heroes. Tanjiro was impressed by Izuku's determination and passion, and he felt a sense of kinship with the boy.
As they parted ways, Tanjiro felt a sense of excitement and anticipation. He had a feeling that he would see Izuku again soon, and he looked forward to it.
