Planning

….

It is morning, or at least I think it is. I awoke to my mother staring at me with dreamy eyes like she was enjoying watching my sleep. It would be cute if she hadn't given me some serious Attack on Titian flashbacks.

She played with me for a bit, then fed me, I'm not going to say how. Then bathed and clothed me. My father was nowhere to be seen. Thus, I assumed he had gone to work and was worried about how he could leave his wife, who just gave birth all alone to work. Although I don't understand the family's situation, we appear to be very well off. I understand the value of money, but some things are just more important.

I couldn't have been more wrong with my assumption as it turns out, he was so excited about having a baby that he couldn't calm down and run around the place like a headless chicken, the poor guy could only fall asleep this morning. Sorry, I misjudged you.

Now that I had done everything without crying or making a fuss. My mother is trying to put me to sleep for my afternoon nap, but again, I'm not too sure about the time. However, I don't want to sleep just yet, I shall not be defeated by her soothing voice nor by the amazing warmth provided by her embrace. I must stay strong and awake and start creating a plan for my future development in this world.

I'm grateful that I asked for the experience and skill of Akisame Koetsuji because… Damn, she's attacking. What the hell! To think she would have such a demonic technique. One as old and dark as the devil himself. I know her previous attacks weren't successful, but to use something like this is cruel. She is using a technique I would like to name [Lucifer's Embrace]. She is gently rocking me in her arms while singing a lullaby.

My consciousness is fading. The rocking, the warmth, the voice, they are too powerful. I can't escape.

My first defeat and to think it was at the hands of my own mother.

Such betrayal…

Just woke up from my nap on my mother's bed refreshed and energized. I don't think I slept for a long time because the sun is still out. My mother is sleeping next to me, I don't think my father was the only person who had trouble falling asleep yesterday. At least this gives me the time I need to make my plan.

As I was saying before, I'm actually grateful that I asked for the experience and skills of Akisame Koetsuji because I understood when I was going over the experience of the others that without Koetsuji although I would have their skills, I would have no way to combine, filter and integrate them together to make them mine. Thankfully, Koetsuji is a great jujitsu master with genius-level intellect, an in-depth understanding of the human body as a doctor, and experience in training an absolute beginner with no talent into an absolute beast.

With his knowledge, I can easily make all these skills mine and even improve them or create new ones.

First, it seems that if I don't want to affect or stunt my growth, I have to wait until I am 7 years old to start some bone-breaking training. Until then, I just have to maintain my flexibility as a child, improve my endurance, and try to learn [Observation Haki]. It is the only skill I can currently learn that would not damage my growth.

The good news is that my quirk will likely not affect my growth, so I can probably train to get used to it when I get it. After all that ROB did say, it would cause me pain whenever I used it. Damn ROB. I wonder how much it's going to hurt. Hopefully, it won't be that painful.

Since I can't do much till I'm 7. I have set a small additional goal for myself. I have to get used to my quirk and the pain that accompanies it, and I also have to educate myself as much as possible before I turn 7.

That's the plan for now.
