Chapter 7: She knocked some sense into me.

As you have guessed I was beaten up pretty badly. I was almost gonna do a dogeza and apologize for every sin I have committed in my current and my previous life, my grandma left me off the hook for the day. I said 'for the day' because she said we will do this all day until I defeat her. She also told me that she is going to continue with CQC ( Close Quarters Combat) until I land a solid hit on her. I think that's gonna take a while.

The gap between our physical power is big but not as big as the gap between our skill set. She has an experience of fighting all kinds of people with different kind of powers. So she got that in the bag. It'll take me a while to surpass her in skills. That's not the case for physical powers and quirk. To gain her level of skill I have to go through a lot of tough fights and gain experience through it.

I'm also actively suppressing my quirk to not heal me after getting knocked down once. She ordered me not to get healed after I did it once subconsciously. I was only allowed to heal after I finish my sparring time wih grandma. It's not like I'll be an undying and always stand up after anyking of injury. This power costs me a lot of stamina. This consumed stamina like I just did the toughest cardio workout in the world for 1 hour. So point to be noted I have to improve my stamina.

I think my physical strength will surpass her's in like 4-5 years time. I'm also not neglecting my quirk training. I can fly now very easily. My regeneration also is lot faster. I think if I get a bullet hole I'll heal in 10-12 minutes tops. I don't want to try though. I'm not a masochist. I think if I get beaten down my gradma might get an acquired taste for it... NO.NO a big no to that. My thought process just got poisoned by masochist God. I think I should find a way to defeat grandma very soon.

About my fire power I have never measured the temperature of my flames. Silly me once used a clinical thermometer to check the temperature of my fire but the instant my flames touched it just turned into ash. So yeah I don't know the temperature of my flames but I know it's very hot.

I go to school like every other kids my age. I also asked for private coaching since my family is well-off. But my parents vehemently refused the idea and asked me to go to school and get some friends.

They started giving advise speech about humans are dependent and social beings. That we should be socially active to live a good life and so on. I just didn't want to deal with 7-8 years old children so I suggested the idea but got rejected.

Going to school is also fun. I'm like the genius of my class. I want to skip grades and soon go to UA and become a hero but I changed my mind after meeting a person. I live in Tokyo. I go to high-end private school in which a lot of rich students study there.

So one day we went on this trip to an aquarium. While we were there there was an another school which seemed to made the same decision and bring their 3rd graders to the aquarium. I didn't care about it. I liked aquarium a lot, we can't normally see what is it like under the sea most of the time. We can watch it on TV but seeing with your own life is a completely a different experience. I like going aquarium a lot because of it. I was thinking of doing scuba diving in my previous life but two things got in my way first the money, second I'm afraid of sharks. I'm not just afraid of sharks I'm terrified of them. I blame every famous shark movie out there. If they have shown me that sharks are like Labradoodle I would have dived into the sea head first, quiet literally. But they show sharks as some kind of terrifying monster that eat you like you are a KFC chicken, that's messed up. I blame my in ability on those shark movies.

Anyway I was looking around and met a group similar to ours walking opposite to us. It seems they are the other school that came today. I thought it was just a coincidence. But it is not. It seems our classroom teacher Mr. Average looking guy was dating the classroom teacher of the other school students Ms. A little good looking lady were dating. Both of our school were planning on arranging a trip for our grade, so these two dirty little couple planned their own free date in the aquarium. Sorry if I have expressed my bad thoughts on this couple. It's not like I didn't have any girlfriend and I died a single dog's death and I'm continue being single even in this life. But seriously I don't want to get any girlfriend until I get my hero license. This is like my resolution. You can think that 'if any waifu comes and proposes to you will you reject even then' oh hell no. I won't do that. But I know me (myself) I don't think that's gonna happen. I'm not a playboy. I don't know how to pick chicks or even hen( if you know you know) in my case.

So when these two were flirting and causing someone stomach burns the students from two schools were mingling. There I saw a little fella with blond hair and a big belt across his waist. I felt like he was familiar. I went up to him and talked to him.

me: hello. I'm Kenji Yamamoto, 3rd grade. Can I know your name please.

Him: Bonjour Kenji kun. My name is Yuga Aoyama. 3rd grade .

wow. I was wondering which year I was reincarnated and the stuff about UA , like in which year am I going to be in when the plot begins. Now I know. Oh god this is good. Oh well in most of the fanfics it's always the same like they will get in the same year with our heroes. Well they weren't real but this is real for me. I won't treat my life like I'm living inside a story book and anyone other than me are like characters in book. No that is a big, fat, juicy, chunky, humungous NO.( A/N: I think I went a little overboard with my expression but you all get it right)

I already decided to live my life properly and I consider everyone in this world as real people and they have their own life.

Back to the meeting with Aoyama.

Kenji: helli Aoyama-kun why are you wearing a huge belt around your waist is it fashion.

I asked this because I want to confirm it and not assume it. But I regretted asking this question instantly beacuse as soon as I asked it he became sad, his face was screaming that it was a taboo question. Maybe future Aoyama would have took it in stride but this Aoyama was just a child.

Aoyama: Oh this.. this is a device that control my quirk. I can't control it very well so to not make it dangerous for others my parents made me wear this.

Kenji: Sorry, but it looked cool. Your quirk must be super powerful that you can't control it very well. My grandma said if you can't do something in one try, try it again and again until you achieve it. So I beleive you can do it too Aoyama-kun.

Aoyama: Thank you Kenji-kun. Let's be friends.

Good god I just made a big save. I don't want him to feel sad over what I asked and I don't want him to cry now because of it. You wouldn't know what a 8 year old would do when they are upset.

Kenji: Great, let's be friends.

Yeah that's how I knew I was in the same timeline as the plot and made a friend.

It's not like I don't have friends I have some who I play with and talk about some stupid show that children watch. What? you got some problem? watched it once and I got hooked. The show is like Power rangers but with instead of rangers it's a hero team. They solve everything and they save the world. The boys in our class were talking about this thing everyday. I just looked it once and I got hooked. It's pretty decent if you ask me.

Then I got Aoyama's family number and I gave him mine to contact each other if we want. I just made a friend I don't want to meet the next time in a coincidence. I don't want be like "until fate allows" so I got his number. Aoyama is a pretty chill guy most of the time if not for his weird antics and talking habits.

Anyway about the training with my grandma, how should I go about this..? I got pummeled to the ground daily but my improvement was tremendous. You have got to give it her she gave the phrase " knock some sense into you" a whole new meaning. As I was constantly getting mauled by her I awakened my observation haki.

It was after 6-7 months of pummeling. We were engaged in an intense fight sequence I was trying to dodge her every move and I was succeding in it. As I was going on with it I started to get a sense of how the next attack is gonna come. I was following for a while and I can differentiate the attacks and the feints very easily. I could also guess her attack trajectory. Then I started thinking how, and I got my answer that I awakened my observation haki. I was ecstatic but got distracted and was sent flying again. But happy nonetheless.

Grandma: Don't get distracted during the fight Ken-chan. Ok why are you smiling did you get something good out of the fight?

Kenji: Yes grandma I think I can differentiate between your faints and real attack.

I would not tell her that I got an extra sense that God gave me. That just sounds weird.

Grandma: Great then I'll increase my speed a bit so that lets test your limits.

Kenji: but grandma..

Grandma didn't say anything she just kicked me aiming for my butt. God please give me back my gentle grandma. The grandma infront of me is terrifying. She is usually very sweet and caring person. She just turns into training demon (if the demon kind exists) and tortures me until I'm being for mercy.
