It's been 5 months. Since then, Daichi has been going out for runs more and more often and he managed to make a run of 10 kilometers without being out of breath. He was pleased with himself and his work, his birthday was less than 4 days away, so he intended to lift 70 kilograms as soon as possible and try to recall old martial arts skills. Now Daichi was doing push-ups standing on his hands, and his father praised and admired him.

- Well done, Daichi! You are a real man, such trainings harden not only your body, but also your spirit! Keep improving!

Under such exclamations, Daichi calmly did push-ups 99 times, and 100 got back on his feet.

- Ha, Dad. Thank you, of course, but I have to go for a run.

- It's strange to hear this from a 3-year-old child, you're not 20 years old by any chance, maybe you're hiding something from your mom and me, huh?

- Huh, of course. In fact, I am already over 30 years old and I live on the neck of my parents because of my appearance, yes, yes.

- Okay, scoundrel, go, only there and back, understand?! If it is exactly the same as the day before yesterday, you will never go out for walks again!

- Well, you think you're an hour late, it happens to everyone...

- Not in a campaign for bread!

- Okay, I get it, I love you, Dad.

- Yeah, I love you too, son, be careful.

After this dialogue, Daichi went to the hallway and put on his shoes. Sighing heavily, he opened the doors and ran out into the street. Without slowing down, but only increasing, he ran forward around the turn, as he ran for the first time. Under the breeze, he ran thinking to himself.

"And a good life in the body of a child, no worries about work, parents love you and forgive literally everything. A little naughty, you can get a delicious ice cream... Not life, but a fairy tale... Uh-uh... What a great day today. I played guitar all day, talked to my father and mother. Even for the first time I was able to play Choi completely. I need to try to download some audio programs to my computer tomorrow and create a full-fledged track for me. The truth is my voice... He's a child... Nothing, I'll ask my father, he'll definitely help me with this, huh."

But he was brought out of his thoughts by a strange car blocking Daichi's road ahead.

"Is it a construction site? Or just put the car like that, that's the fuck, and I so wanted to run longer today. Okay, to hell with it, I'm going home."

But before Daichi could turn around, he received a strong blow to the neck. From this, he just fell to the ground and uttered a single phrase before he passed out.

- What the fuck...

- Boss, this guy was taken, he looks like 4 years old, are you sure it's worth taking him?

A man with an eye patch spoke. A tall, elderly man of about 50 with a thick, gray beard immediately got out of the car.

-He has been running here for almost half a year, during this time, his body has shown incredible success. Daichi Sugekiro, a guy who is 4 years old in a few days, a walking treasure, has a strength that is no weaker than that of high school students aged 16. His abnormal body development is judged only by his quirk, which is likely to be associated with increased endurance, or strength. Get him in the trunk. We unearthed an incredible treasure today, haha.

************

- Hey, Nami, our guy hasn't been here for like an hour. I'm going to look for him, he's gone again, that asshole.

- Okay, honey, be careful. Tell Daichi that his favorite food is for dinner, apologize in a moment and he will be like a little boy.

- Hah, well, my love, wait for me. I'll be with our son in a moment!

************

"Arg-h-h... My head is buzzing, what the fuck? Where am I... it's dark in here... And I also feel that we are moving. His hands are bound with duct tape, as is his mouth. Fuck, am I in the trunk? Was I really stolen, seriously? Where are the heroes looking at your mother?! Ehh. And what should I do? Damn it, I just wanted to run! Now the ransom will be demanded. I hope my mother and father won't hit me on the head too hard for this..."

Daichi tried to be calm, as panic would only worsen his situation. He tried to assess the situation in which he was. Noticing something sharp next to him, he began to rub his hands in order to cut the duct tape, although it didn't work out very well so far. After about 10 minutes, the car stopped abruptly, and Daichi almost cut his bonds. Abruptly, the trunk doors opened for him and Daichi was taken by the hair, throwing him to the ground.

"Ouch!"

Immediately they put him on his knees and he realized that there was something on his head all this time, too, or rather not even on his head, but on his eyes. After taking off this thing, Daichi saw an elderly man sitting on a chair in front of him, next to whom there were guards with weapons on the preponderance.

"Wow, is this really some kind of big gang... Fuck, just not on the organs..."

- Welcome kids. Glad to see you all. There are quite a lot of you today, almost 30. Ho-ho. How lucky we are... My name is Costilio, I'm a villain. And I kidnapped you for an interesting purpose. Don't worry, it's not a ransom... This is something more interesting! I offer you 2 options for the development of events...

No sooner had the man finished than a lot of sobbing and crying was heard, Daichi immediately turned his head and saw a lot of children in different clothes to his right. However, they looked from 8 to 12 years old. Turning his head to the left, he saw the same picture. Most of the children were crying, but there were a few like Daichi who sat and listened.

"Damn, it's you, Daichi... no... Dima!"

- Well, well, there's no need to cry... Stop it... I SAID ENOUGH FUCKING!

With a shout, he hit the leg of the chair and the guards raised their weapons.

"That's better. So, kids. You have 2 choices. The first and most reasonable... is... Join my family, not even like that, my gang. By becoming a full member, you will be able to stay alive and even if you work hard, maybe we will let you go back to Mommy, daddy! Well, option 2... You will keep the worms company in the coffin! So, let's not hesitate, let's move on to everyone's questions, let's start from right to left.

Daichi turned his head to the right and saw a man with a machete come to the very last one. The old man on the chair immediately spoke without even looking at the boy.

"Will you join my family?"

The child immediately sobbed and wanted to say something, but the old man showed a dissatisfied face and pointed his finger down.

The child was grabbed by the hair and taken away somewhere. Then it was the turn of the next one. Those who nodded their heads were bypassed, the rest were taken away. When it was Daichi's turn, he just nodded without even waiting for words. And the old man suddenly looked at him.

- Let him talk.

Daichi was immediately allowed to speak freely

"Are you afraid of me, child?"

- Y-yes, of course I'm afraid of you!

I tried to simulate Daichi, using all my skills as an actor.

- Ho... So we have a brave man here... Why are you lying to me?

"How did he..."

- You must be surprised, right? Of course you're surprised. I'll answer your question. My quirk. It gives me the opportunity to read the feelings of the person I'm looking at. And now... I almost don't see fear in you. Haha, you're going to be a great six, kid... The next one, this one passed...

That's how there are only 8 people sitting on their knees, considering Daichi.

"What the hell kind of shit did I get into?"
