A month had passed since Kei moved in with Detective Naomasa.
The day Detective Naomasa asked Kei to live with him. Kei had agreed, but he had one condition.
When Detective Naomasa asked what that condition was, Kei response was.
"If you are going to adopt me, please allow me to have the same surname as you" said Kei
When Detective Naomasa heard keis request. He was left speechless for a couple of seconds before he finally came to his senses.
Detective Naomasa was more than happy to grant keis request. After all by doing that it would make them feel more like a family.
So on the day all the paperwork was approved. Kei, who was now legally named Naomasa Kei, could finally go to his new home.
The day Kei moved in with Detective Naomasa. Detective Naomasa took Kei shopping. After Detective Naomasa and Kei had finished shopping for everything Kei needed. Detective Naomasa then proceeded to have Kei enrolled in school. After all, Kei at this moment was seven.
Like all seven year olds, Kei was enrolled in elementary school. To Kei who still had memories of his past life, school was boring.
To Kei, school hours were the most boring time of the day. It was only after school when Detective Naomasa came and picked him up, that Kei could finally get home to do what he had been wanting to do.
Or at least that was how it was suppose to be. But Detective Naomasa first had Kei study some more at home before he got free time to play around.
Detective Naomasa worried that Kei, who had not received any education prior to now. Would be left behind in his studies compared to his pears.
So every day after school Detective Naomasa would lecture Kei for an hour. Every day was a different subject to be taught.
Although Kei felt this was annoying. He still could not help but feel touched that Detective Naomasa took time out of his busy schedule to do this for keis well being.
So Kei, who received Detective Naomasas lectures. Would put on a serious face and listen to every detail.
Once the lecture was done and Kei finished his homework. Kei was finally able to do what he really wanted.
And that was training his ability [Nature].
Although Kei was able to use his ability to a strong degree. He had quickly realized that controlling the power how he wanted, was very difficult.
Another thing that made Kei have a tough time was the fact that his ability [Nature] was too versatile. This made it difficult for Kei to choose what part of his ability to master first.
In the beginning this was a truly difficult choice.
Finally after much thought Kei had finally decided to start practicing his control on the five basic elements of earth, water, fire, air, and lightning.
Well, when it comes to what the five basic elements are. It would depend on who you ask.
As for Kei the five elements that were mentioned were his.
Kei had already used both the wind and fire elements during his fight with Grudge. As for the other three elements on his list. They still had not been used.
On keis first day of training, he decided to use each element and see what level of control he had over them.
The first element Kei tried to use was the water element. Kei first tried to envision the water as a smooth liquid in the shape of a sphere. As Kei concentrated the air in front of him started to form into a sphere of water.
When Kei saw this he could not help but feel happy. That was until he realized that when he tried to use it as an attack. He struggled to make the mass of water move in the way he wanted.
After trying several different types of ways to use the water element. He came to realize that he had a long way to go before he could apply the water element in battle.
"Hah, this is basically level zero" said Kei to himself
'Now that I know where my level of control of water is at, next is lightning' thought Kei
Once Kei started his practice of the lightning element. Kei realized that he had an easier time using lightning.
Though he was able to use the lightning element to a certain extent. He was not able to use it in many of the ways he wanted.
'Most of the ways I can use it is still dangerous to use around other's' thought Kei before continuing
'Hah, I feel like Kaminari except I don't short-circuit'
When it came to lightning, Kei felt he had a better grasp over it than he did with water.
As for the air and fire elements. Kei who had already used them in battle. So he had a good grasp on how good his level of control was for each.
Finally all that was left to try our was the earth element.
When Kei tried this element, he was surprised. No matter how he willed the earth around him, it bent to his will.
Weather it was making a shield or several spears of earth. Weather turning it into grains of soft sand or turning it from mud to dust and back to solid ground. The earth followed his will to great degrees. This showed he was really adept to this element.
'Although it seems I have great mastery over the earth element, I still have a lot to learn before I can truly call myself a master' thought Kei
After Kei grasped at what level of control he had over these five elements. Kei had decided to make the earth element as his main attribute.
There were two main reasons for this decision.
The first reason was his affinity for the earth element. While the second was the elements versatility.
Weather Kei chose to go on the offensive or defensive. This element felt like it had it all. He could also use it to slow down enemies as well as stop them outright. The possibilities of this element where many.
Although the water element had just as many applications as the earth element. That element was out of the question to be keis main element. The reason for that was too obvious.
As it stood at that moment he had the lowest affinity to that element. Making it the one that he would later put a great deal of focus since he wanted to master it as well.
At present time, Kei had been practicing for three weeks now. When he was about to start practicing he was going to do it in secret, but decided against it in the end.
Since he decided not to keep it secret he had gone to Detective Naomasa to let him know his intension
to practice.
At first Detective Naomasa had wanted to oppose keis idea of training his quirk.
But when Detective Naomasa saw how eager Kei was and the strong determination in his eyes, he had no choice but to agree.
Once Kei had received permission from Detective Naomasa. He started practicing immediately.
After three weeks of practice Kei decided to go online and look for methods and applications that he could practice.
The more he searched. The more he came to the realization that he was truly a long way to go from just mastering the five basic elements.
'There are still other aspects of this ability I want to try' thought Kei to himself
'No, don't bite off more than you can chew'
Kei was right. His training schedule was already full at the moment so he could only helplessly put other such practices on hold.
Keis had a schedule for his elemental practice. Every weekday he would practice a different element for three hours.
Monday he would practice his earth element. On Tuesday would be the fire element. Followed by the wind element. Then on Thursday he would move on to the water element. Finishing of with lightning on Friday.
Kei who like everyone else who showed the potential to become a hero, trained himself to the limit everyday.
Detective Naomasa who oversaw his training when he had the time would remind Kei not to push himself too hard.
On keis third week of training. He recalled something he had wanted to ask Detective Naomasa.
When Detective Naomasa heard Kei ask him for a favor he was surprised.
Since the time Kei hade been living with him. Besides asking him if he could train to master his quirk. Kei had not asked for anything else.
Detective Naomasa who was curious as to what Kei would ask him said "what would you like. As long as it is something that is within my power to get I will get it for you"
"Well, it isn't something. It is actually someone I would like you to ask if he could teach me" responded Kei
"Oh, and who might that be?" Said Detective Naomasa before continuing
"If you want me to ask All Might to train you then I'm afraid that I won't be able to help you. You know he is a busy guy after all"
"It's not him I want you to ask" said Kei
"Really, then who is it?" Asked Detective Naomasa with a curious look on his face
He really wanted to know who Kei had in mind to train him.
"Endeavor" responded Kei
Detective Naomasa was surprised that Kei wanted to train under Endeavor. As far as Detective Naomasa knew, Endeavor wasn't someone that would be eager to teach a child. Even if he was the one asking him for the favor. The chances that Endeavor would agree were low.
Kei knew that it was unlikely Endeavor would agree, but he still wanted to ask Detective Naomasa to try
"Well, I will see what I can do" said Detective Naomasa
"Thank you" responded Kei
Once Kei finished asking Detective Naomasa his favor. Kei continued to practice like he had been doing for the past three weeks.
Kei would to practice the five elements on the weekdays.
However on the weekends on the other hand. He was practicing something completely different.
There was something that Kei realized he might have had, thanks to the punch his father [Chaos Dragon] had landed on him the night he was rescued.
That punch his father had landed perfectly on his chest, should have killed him that night.
Kei knew his fathers strength all too well, after all he had seen his battles with All Might. The punch he received was truly more than enough to send someone like him to the underworld.
When he thought of how he could have survived such a fearsome punch. He could only arrive at one answer.
"Inheritance"
Kei came to realize that there was a possibility that he had inherited a quirk from one of his parents.
Kei at the moment of realizing this, was sure of which of the two quirks it was.
"[Enhancement]" said Kei to himself
Kei who had seen his mother use her quirk many times in the past. Knew exactly what it would look like if he had it.
Whenever keis mother activated her quirk. Her face and body would be engraved in some sort of red magic circuit looking pattern.
It was because of these such patterns as well as the titanic strength, durability and speed that she got the Villain name [Mad Titan].
On the first weekend, Kei tried to activate the [Enhancement] quirk.
Kei who was trying to figure out if he did have the quirk. Decided to try and activate it on his hands.
As Kei started to focus. Just like his mother, strange magic circuit like patterns started to appear. The only difference between keis patterns and his mothers were the color.
While his mothers circuits were red. Keis on the other hand were a violet color.
Kei could feel that his hands were stronger, but only by a small margin. He knew his mother had practiced a lot to make this quirk strong enough to challenge All Might.
When keis thoughts reached up to there. He decided to practice on strengthening this quirk on the weekends.
Kei who had decided on his training regiment couldn't help but say to himself.
"If I want to reach the top, it's time to train"
"After all, practice makes perfect"
