Line 4:
The problem is, they can't fight.
 
Cue the protagonist going to a trusted friend [[Badass|who can]], and asking to be taught. They agree, but although the two are on friendly terms, the training is anything but easy. It's sometimes even [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]. But the protagonist [[Took a Level Inin Badass|takes a level in badass]] by the end of it.
 
Note that they actually have to ''ask for the training themselves.''
Line 12:
* Oh god poor Shirahama Kenichi in ''[[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple]]'' . As the show goes on, one starts to wonder if he would´ve been better if he just lost the match to Daimonji.
* In ''[[Madlax]]'', after Vanessa shoots a person for the first time (it's to protect the eponymous heroine and she only grazes her target, but she [[It Never Gets Any Easier|angsts nonetheless]]), she eventually asks Madlax to teach her to shoot. {{spoiler|It doesn't end well, as she dies when protecting Madlax again.}}
* ''[[Shakugan no Shana]].'' Yuji is sort of a [[Non-Action Guy]], but his insistence on keeping up with Shana's demon-hunting lifestyle led him to receive [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] from several different sources, eventually taking [[Took a Level Inin Badass|several levels in Badass]]. Most striking is when he's being pushed around by a minor demon, who intends to use him as bait to draw out Shana. He suddenly realizes that this guy is well below his current power-level, and proceeds to kick his ass. Yep, Yuji's all grown up now...
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]].'' Negi is already quite good at the start of the manga (it's suspected that he's been training from age four), but it really gets serious when he asks [[Drill Sergeant Nasty|Evangeline]] to teach him.
** Several of Negi's students (especially Asuna) also begin training, if they weren't competent fighters already.
Line 31:
 
== Literature ==
* ''[[Pendragon]]'': After nearly being beaten to death by Saint Dane, Bobby asks Loor to do this. His training is very much [[Training Fromfrom Hell]].
* ''[[Harry Potter]]'': Ron and Hermione ask Harry to do this, and Dumbledore's Army is born.
** [[Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban|Previously]], Harry asks Lupin how to fight off dementors, and Lupin teaches him the Patronus Charm.
Line 45:
 
== Tabletop Games ==
* ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' adventure OA5 ''Mad Monkey vs. The Dragon Claw''. During the sea journey [[NPC]] Ko La Ko approaches one of the [[PC]]s and asks the PC to teach him kung fu so he won't be so useless in a fight.
