Preparing for the Future

Three months have past since Kei started training with Endeavor.

The first four training sessions were a nightmare to Kei.

Although the training he received was only once a week, and that left him six days for his body to recover from the training. It still did not change the fact that come Tuesday he would once again go to receive the hellish training Endeavor had planned.

Though the training was difficult Kei knew that training your quirk wasn't the only thing that needed training. So he understood that training the body was also essential.

'I have also been training my [Enhancement] quirk. So doing physical training will help me advance in the training of that quirk' thought Kei to himself

When Kei found out he had inherited his mothers quirk [Enhancement]. He would practice activating the quirk on the weekends.

Not only did he practice activating the quirk at a faster speed. He was also working on extending the duration and strength of the quirk.

Along with all of that, Kei also did some physical training in the hope that it would help his development of that quirk.

The results of doing that physical training were as he had expected. By working out his body, his [Enhancement] quirk showed signs of it getting stronger.

Although the results weren't as high as Kei expected it to be. It was still some improvement and that was what mattered most.

After Kei had trained with Endeavor. Kei had seen far more apparent results when using his [Enhancement] quirk.

This made Kei realize that he had been going too easy on himself. So now he had increased the difficulty of his physical workouts on the weekends.

After the he completed the four physical training sessions. It was finally time to start learning how to control his fire element.

So going forward from his fifth training session and on. Endeavor cut the physical training in half, so that he would have an hour to teach Kei how to control his fire element, as well as the different ways he could use it.

Endeavor who was teaching Kei, couldn't help but feel impressed by how dedicated Kei was at wanting to master his quirk and better himself.

He was so impressed in fact, that Endeavor who had not thought he would train Kei beyond the first training session. Was now starting to teach Kei some of his own fighting moves.

Kei was impressed by Endeavors fighting skills. Endeavor who was always trying to surpass All Might. Had honed both his quirk and physical skills to an amazing degree.

At this point in time. Keis control over his fire element was much better than when he first started training.

If Kei had to compare his level of mastery of his fire element to the level his earth element was at. He would put his mastery of fire about a third compared to his earth element.

This was a great boost of mastery considering it was at ten percent prior to training with Endeavor.

Kei also had started to get used to Endeavors training. Even though Endeavor was a tough trainer that expected nothing but your best. He was still someone that wanted to see you succeed and accomplish your goal. That is what made Kei have a greater respect for this mega spartan of a trainer.

At this moment keis training session with Endeavor had just ended.

"That is it for today's training. Go home and reflect on what you learned today" said Endeavor to Kei

"Yes sir" responded Kei as he breathed heavily

"Next time we will go over how to better shape your flames in the way you want, while still maintaining its strength output" said Endeavor just as he was exiting the training room

When Kei heard what Endeavor said. He could not help but feel excited.

———————————————————————

Once Kei arrived home. He went straight to take a shower. All the workout he did today had left him smelling of sweat.

While Kei was busy showering. Detective Naomasa was in the kitchen preparing the dinner that he and Kei would eat.

A little while later, Kei, who had finished bathing. Got himself dressed and went to set up the table.

"Set up a dinner plate for one more. We are going to have a guest tonight" Said Detective Naomasa

"Someone is going to join us for dinner" said Kei before continuing

"Who is going to be joining us today?"

"It's a good friend of mine" said Detective Naomasa

"Oh, which one?"

"All Might" said Detective Naomasa

When Kei heard who was going to have dinner with them. He could not help but be shocked for a few seconds.

The number of times Kei had met All Might since living with Detective Naomasa were quite a few. Since All Might and Detective Naomasa had been friends for a long while. It only made sense that they would see each other every once in a while.

Finally after a few minutes the table was set up and dinner was ready.

Shortly after the door bell rang. Indicating that All Might had arrived. Kei who was closest to the door, went to open it.

When Kei opened the door he could see All Might standing there with his signature smile on his face.

"Well hello there young Kei. How have you been since the last time I saw you" said All Might

"I have been well. How about you All Might, how have you been lately" responded Kei

"Busy as always, hahaha" said All Might while laughing out loud

"Well now, both of you, don't just stand there and come to the dinner table and start eating before the food gets cold" said Detective Naomasa

"Well, you heard my dad All Might. Come in so we can start eating" said Kei

By this time Kei had already been calling Detective Naomasa dad. At first he felt strange about calling him that, but as time went on he slowly got used to it.

"I hope that you cooked a lot Tsukauchi. I'm not one of those light weights you know, haha" said All Might

"You don't have to worry about that" said Detective Naomasa before looking at Kei

"You are not the only one at the table who is not a light weight"

Once all three of them sat down, the feast began.

———————————————————————

After dinner was done. The three of them headed to the living room to chat about the things that have been going on in their daily lives.

Kei who after a while was felling like the odd man out. Excused himself and headed to his bedroom to rest.

Once Kei had entered his room All Might and Detective Naomasa continued to converse.

"Really tsukauchi, every time I see you. I cannot help but feel that you are suited to be a father" said All Might

"Well to be honest. I did not think it would be so easy" said Detective Naomasa before he continued

"Kei is a good kid. He is very respectful and has a good head on his shoulder"

"I remember you telling me last time I visited, that you had let him practice his quirk" said All Might before taking a sip of tea and continuing

"How has that been going"

"When it comes to that, I feel it's been going well. To be honest I feel like he is too dedicated to training" said Detective Naomasa with a bit of worry on his face

"What is wrong with that Tsukauchi. The boy wants to be a hero, it is only natural that he would want to train himself" responded All Might to Detective Naomasa

"Well yes, your right, but as of late he has been training with Endeavor. Even you can understand why I feel Kei is pushing himself too hard" said Detective Naomasa

"With Endeavor, seriously?" Asked All Might

"I'm serious, that son of mine has been training with Endeavor for the past three months now" said Detective Naomasa before he continued

"Although it has only been one day of training every week"

"Still, going back to train again. That is something no one has done. It is no wonder why you worry" said All Might

"Yeah, but it's not like I can tell him to stop" said Detective Naomasa

"You don't have to tell him to stop. You just need to tell him to slow down. After all, with myself, Endeavor and all the other heroes out there. There is no reason for him to be in a rush to get strong" said All Might

"You can say that because you haven't seen that look in his eyes. It is like he is preparing for something. Something that he feels the need to train to the absolute limit" said Detective Naomasa

"It could be that he is preparing for the possibility of those two escaping" said All Might

"That might be it, but something deep in my gut is telling me that it is not that" responded Detective Naomasa

"You think he knows about Him" said All Might in a serious tone

"I would not doubt it, after all, he must have heard a lot of info while he was with them" said Detective Naomasa

"[All For One]" said All Might as his eyes were filling with anger

"Have you found any leads on his whereabouts?" asked Detective Naomasa

"No, but Every time I find some information, I get a little closer to finding out where he is" said All Might with a determined look on his face

"You need to be careful All Might. I know the grudge you have with him. So do not let that grudge consume everything you have into finding him" warned Detective Naomasa

"Do not worry Tsukauchi. I know that I wil need to keep myself composed when I finally confront him" said All Might

"When I have some extra time on my hands. I will come over and watch Kei train a bit. I could give him some advice on his fighting technique" said All Might

"That would be great. I am sure Kei would love to get some training from you as well" said Detective Naomasa

"I do not know about that. He did go to Endeavor instead of me" said All Might with an awkward smile

"All Might, are you sulking. Never thought I would see the day" said Detective Naomasa as he started to laugh

"I am not sulking" said All Might in a disgruntled voice

As they continued to talk away.

———————————————————————-

Kei who was in his room eavesdropping on their conversation.

When he had heard All Might say how he and the other heroes had everything handled. He could not help thinking of what the future held.

Kei knew All Might would find out where [All For One] was. It was a matter of sooner or later.

The result from that encounter, would leave both the 'symbol of peace' and 'ruler of the underworld' wounded to the point both would find it difficult to continue doing their work.

'In the end both would be forced to pass on their will to a future generation' thought Kei

As keis thoughts went there. He could not help but think of Midoriya Izuku. The young man that would inherit [One For All].

"The future" Kei whispered to himself before thinking about what would happen to Midoriya Izuku and the rest of class 1A.

'There is too much to prepare for and so little time' thought Kei

Kei who knew a few years of the future of this world. Had to get stronger as fast as possible. He wanted to stand on the front line of those future battles.

Kei had also wanted to warn All Might of the injuries he would sustain.

'But how do I tell him' he thought

After all Kei was just a child. Besides, both All Might and Detective Naomasa already knew he didn't have a quirk that could tell the future.

He had thought of telling Sir Nighteye. Sadly he still did not have the chance to meet him. Even if he did, would Sir Nighteye even believe him?

The chance of the people around him taking kei seriously was low.

'This is why, I must start preparing for the future' thought Kei
