5 Break down. Last wish. Training(?).

"Is it possible to become a hero even without a quirk!!!" There was silence after I said that.

" I am a normal kid without any powers... could I hope to be someone l-like A-A-AllMight !!!"

She raised her eyebrows, and I heard someone clicking their tongue, and the source of the voice was, of course, sister Melo.

" No." said grandma, but why? The question I asked was truly from my heart.

"let's go Oki. " sister Melo took me away towards the cafeteria.

I sat at a table and ate my food. Then, finished my lunch fast and went near the neem tree.

I started to run around the enormous garden and, my first goal is to run at a constant pace and then run until I am drained, rest and repeat.

From the corner of my eyes, I saw sister Melo peaking at me. I didn't mind her and started to run but couldn't keep a steady pace for more than 30 seconds and my stamina ran out in the next 30 seconds. I was out of breath, and currently, I was airheaded. So took my time relaxing, and while resting, I did my 3x3 multiplications.

I took a small break for nearly 15 minutes. I stood up, and I ran at a steady pace, and after I felt like I can't, I ran until my lung was fire, gut paining, and my skin was red. I repeated till the sun went down. To tell the truth, my body wasn't doing good.

For some reason, the word grandma spoke unlocked something in me.

' Why? Am I doing this to prove I won't give up? Or is it that my body feels for it?'

"AAAHHHHHH!!! WHY??? WHY?WHY?WHY?..."

*gruff**gruff* My breathing went ragged. I didn't understand why? I still don't.

' Why do I want to be a hero?'

'Fame?... Money?... Thrill? '

' Why am I breaking down?'

' I will become a pro hero? But why? '

I don't know what I am thinking. 'Cool down, chill. Chill. '

"Fuuu" It seems like Ex-Oki's wanted to be a hero. But, now that the body's consciousness knows it gets upgrades, my body wanted to fulfill the last wish of Ex-Oki.

*Sigh* ' Man seems like Ex-Oki will still lyes in this body and the last wish was strong enough that I broke down mentally '

This was the first time I have experienced such a thing.

Now my turn. Why?

Why? Do I want to be a hero?

It's simple.

Everything.

I had a very dull life, and this life, I will have a blast. I will earn things I couldn't achieve in my previous life. I will protect innocents, and I will do anything for it. This is why I want to be a hero.( If you think it's like deku... well don't judge a character what he says but, on what he does .)

And to fulfill the last wish of Ex-Oki.

This is my reason! My resolve!

I stood up and watch the moon. I felt something in my body open.

Then something... something different... something mystical phenomenon happened.

I stood near Neem tree, but there was another me but with blue, glowing skin. Some weird white markings were on his face. They glowed from time to time. We both looked at each other, eye to eye. We were not going anywhere with the meeting now.

I know the other me in front of me is Oki or Ex-Oki, to be precise.

"Thank you," Ex-Oki spoke and started turning into gold, his body started crumbling, and his body slowly turned into dust.

" Why?" I asked. I was clueless for why he thanked me.

" For fulfilling my last wi..." Ex-Oki couldn't speak till the end as his face crumbled and faded away.

" But why thank me? I still hadn't fulfilled it. "

" You will " I heard Ex-Oki's voice though this time I could feel it didn't have much life.

I stood there for an unknown amount of time.

" You ok young Oki? " Well, looks like grandma is here. " I am, " I said, gazing at the moon now my mind feels refreshed.

"You know Oki, the hero profession is the hardest. We don't know... We don't know when our partner will say his last ' Hi '. We don't know when an innocent will die. We don't know when we will be full of safety. We don't know that this or the next might be the last time we could see our loved ones. We don't know about our loved ones... future. "

I turned towards her. I could see her tears which looked like crystals under the moonlight.

'I see grandma... you lost your family to villains... your quirk is what you hate and you regret your decision of being a hero. '

" Granny...how big was your family?" I asked her, as I should act like a child. Well, don't small children don't know when to ask what, right?

" What do you mean was?" She spoke with a blank face. ' Looks like I miss understood, there you go just don't speak or think again dumb Oki. '

" Aren't we a family of 57 people? Why do you go by 'was' we should move on... " Though she tried not to show her sadness, I could feel it from her. The aura around her was depressive. ' Way to go Oki. You baka. '

" Oki you still have time and decide till the last moment. " Her depressive aura seems to be changed into a concerning atmosphere.

A small smile erupts on my face, and immeasurable joy was surging inside me. I never had someone who showed such concern towards me. It felt good.

I nod at her " Sure, granny" I tried to make a bright sunny smile but didn't how it came as I never did one in my previous life.

She nods and gives me her left hand. I old her left hand with both my arms, and we walk together back to the Orphanage. " You forgot about me, Oki! Didn't you?" Sister Melo pouted her lips. She looked like a kid, well... she always was a kid, whom am I kidding.

Sister Melo joined us as I took grandma's left hand. Sister Melo took grandma's right hand.

While walking towards the Orphanage, I stop for a second. Then, seeing me stop, the other two stop as well. I look towards grandma's face "Offff...Fuuuuuu... Offf...Fuuuu..." I took few deep breaths and slapped my cheeks, and my face changes to a determined face, or at least that is what I wanted to make. " Granny since I don't have a quirk, I want to train and have high skills. I know you said to think... till the last moment... I will think it at the moment. "

" Wether to leave my thoughts of becoming a hero or do something else..."

As soon as I spoke those words, for some odd reason, my eyes were tearing up.

" Tell me young Oki do you know what skills are?"

I nod as an answer.

" Then tell me "

" Ability to do something well. "

" I didn't ask you to give me a dictionary meaning Oki. Well since you want to be a hero so much I will train you but you shouldn't quit the training. "

I nod with fierce moments.

" And if you quit the training in midway, you should forget about hero profession. You ok with that. "

I clench my fists and nod at her. I could feel her aura has changed to joy.

Sister Melo was just staring at us, but after grandma told her condition, she was just looking at grandma with wide eyes.

While she was staring at grandma, I ran towards the Orphanage.

General P.O.V -

" Mom..." Melo was pursing her lips " Why would you say such a thing!? I know the last three members who came to you for training. They quit the training after a week, and even if you lessen it lil Oki won't be able... to hold up."

The old lady didn't speak anything. " It is unfair you know, your quirk training will have quite the scars on his mind, he might breakdown!!! "

The old lady nodded

" Melo... I am his G...
