Six months have past since Kei had convinced Shou's parents to let their son train.
In this time that had past. Kei would go twice a week to Shou's home and see how he was doing with his training.
In the beginning Shou, who was out of shape. Would be so tired from his training. That he would stay collapsed on the floor until someone helped him make his way to his room to take a shower and then rest.
Not only was he taking the training seriously, but he also started to fix his diet. No longer, would the maids bring him a snack to his room.
When Kei first heard of the snacks Shou would eat on the regular. He could only think the following.
'The life of the wealthy, really are different to the common folks'
The snacks in question where all hand made specialties that were made by the best patissier in the world.
Kei at one point had the opportunity to try one of the patissiers deserts. When he tried that first bite. He could not help but be shocked at how good it was.
'If I had a patissier as good as him. I would find it difficult to stop eating deserts' thought Kei as he had bit into another piece of his desert.
Kei had to admit that Shou's dedication was the real deal. Just looking at how he thinned down and gained a bit of a strong body. He knew that his friend was giving it his all.
When he compared his training regimen to Shou's. Kei noticed the difference in the way they were working to become heroes.
Although both of their training sessions lasted five hours. Three hours of Keis training was still focused on control. While the last two were focused on hand to hand combat.
In the six months that had past Keis control over fire was now at about the same level as his earth element. His wind and lightning were now at a degree of mastery where he did not need to worry about hurting his future allies that might be around him when he used them.
As for water on the other hand. Although he had seen great improvements thanks to the research he had looked up. It was still not ready for him to use in battle.
Now that he had four out of five at a decent level or higher of control. Kei was now putting three days out of the weekdays into controlling water while he would focus the other two days on wind and lightning respectively. Although on Tuesdays he would cut his water training short to go train with Endeavor.
Every once in a while All Might would also come to give Kei a lesson on combat techniques. Some of the techniques were a bit difficult to understand. Mostly because All might had never taken the time to train anyone. So he was still green when it came to it.
'Well at least he puts in the effort' thought Kei
When it came to Shou's training sessions on the other hand. Everyday he would start with three hours of physical endurance training. Every day he would do different workouts. From working out the legs to the arms then the chest. It was always something different.
After Shou finished his workout he would then practice his martial arts. At the moment Shou was learning Krav Maga.
Shou's master in Krav Maga was a retired hero from Israel. Back when he was active in hero work, he ranked in the top ten in the Hero Leaderboard Israel.
When Shou's master went to make a report to Shou's parents regarding the progress Shou has been making.
His parents could not help but be shocked when they found out that Shou had a natural talent in martial arts.
When Shou's teacher reached that point. He suggested that they have Shou learn from other martial arts teachers at the same time he was learning from him.
Ordinarily Shou's teacher would not have recommended such a thing.
The only reason he did so was because he could see a hidden talent in Shou. A talent that could make him a master in several martial arts at a very young age.
Whenever Shou's master thought of this. He could not help feeling excited knowing he was teaching a prodigy.
In the beginning when he had heard why he was being hired to teach Shou. He could only feel like it was a waste of time.
As time went by and he noticed Shou's talent. After confirming how talented Shou was. He knew this was his opportunity to teach someone that had the potential he had been looking for. Not only himself, but also his old friends that had been looking for a worthy successor. This was an opportunity he and his old friends would grasp and not let go until they beat their teachings into Shou.
When Kei had learned of his friends natural talent. As well as Shou's teacher recommending others to teach Shou. He was surprised that Shou had such talent, but also very happy.
'He may be more Wayne than stark at the moment' thought Kei
Kei also could not help but think he saw this scenario before. One student being taught by Various masters. Masters that would teach their student in the most insane of ways.
'I'm pretty sure I read something similar in a manga' thought Kei as he saw Shou being taught by his master
One of the other things that impressed Kei the most was how dedicated Shou's parents were, when developing the gear, gadgets and armors he had described.
At this point in time, they had already performed many tests on several of the gadgets Kei suggested they make first. Although most were still in the testing stage. A few had already been perfected.
Whenever they perfected a new gadget. They would have Kei come over and see how it compares to his idea.
Every time Kei went to see a new finished product. It was always beyond his expectations. From the design to how easy they were to use. Everything was always perfect.
After Shou's parents finished showing their finished gadgets. They would then head back to work on the next thing on the list.
When it came to the armors he had told Shou's parents about. They had only come up with a few schematics. The reason for that was because Shou would need some equipment if he was ever going to hope to get accepted to UA High.
The armors that Kei had told them about were far too complex to finish in a year or two. Most probably it would take Shou's parents at least five years if not more.
Thinking up to that point both Kei and Shou's parents were in agreement that they should focus on Shou's future gear first and work on the armors after he had a good assortment of gear.

Currently it was the middle of August and Kei was on summer break.
When Kei thought about it. He hadn't taken a single day off from training since he started.
Realizing this Kei decided to take the next day off and enjoy himself.
The only problem was that he had no idea of what to go out and do. Finally after an hour of getting nowhere, he decided to call Shou and see if he would take a day off as well to hang out together the next day.
When Shou heard Kei wanted to hang out with him. He agreed to take a day off as well.
In the end they decided to go to the Shopping District. That way they can just go look around and check out the stores they like.
Finally the next day Kei and Shou met up at noon.
As both of them were walking around they started talking about how hard they had been training and how a day to just go out and relax was just what they needed.
When Kei and Shou passed by a store that were selling laptops. Kei, who's laptop broke a while ago after he dropped it, was looking for an upgrade.
Kei, who knew nothing about laptops was lucky. The reason for this was because there was a young expert by his side today.
When Kei told Shou that he knew next to nothing of what kind of laptop to get. Shou was more than happy to help him. After half an hour of picking out the best ones that fit Keis criteria. They finally picked out one that had what Kei needed.
Once they left the store they both kept walking around until they ran into another store they wanted to go in.
———————————————————————
In the same shopping district a young boy and a teenage girl were walking around the stores.
The girl had white shoulder length hair with crimson streaks and grey eyes. While the boy on the other hand had long hair that splits between white and red. His left eye was blue while his right eye was grey.
The two people were Todoroki Shoto and his sister Todoroki Fuyumi.
As the two of them walked by a store. Shoto noticed someone through the corner of his eye in the store. When he saw the person in the store he could not help but frown.
When Fuyumi saw her brother Shoto stop and stare at the store she asked "Shoto, why did you stop. Do you need something from that store"
As Fuyumi finished saying that. She noticed that it was not the store, but someone inside it that her brother was staring at. When she saw who he was staring at she said " oh, isn't that the boy that is training with our father. Looks like he is also out here shopping with a friend"
When Fuyumi spoke up to there she looked back at her brother and asked "do you want to go say hi?"
When shoto heard what his sister said he looked away from Kei and his friend and kept walking.
As he started walking he said in an upset voice "why would I go say hi to him"
When Fuyumi heard his tone of voice. She knew that these two must have met and something must have happened between those two.
When she looked at Kei. She wondered what kind of person he was. After all he was someone that could actually stand her fathers crazy training.
'I need to question shoto about that boy when we get home' thought Fuyumi as she walked faster to catch up to her brother
———————————————————————-
Kei, who was too busy shopping with Shou. Did not notice Shoto and his sister staring at him.
After a while both Kei and Shou got hungry and decided to head to the food court to get something to eat.
As they were walking Kei heard a rather familiar voice.
The voice itself sounded familiar, but it was in the way the girl was speaking that made him feel that he heard her from somewhere.
As he tried listened he could hear the voice in the distance.
"Mom, look at that dress. It's like, totes awesome, don't you think" said the girl
"Really Camie, you need to stop imitating that sister of yours" said the girls mother
When Kei got a good look at her, as well as clearly heard the way she talked. He knew who this girl was.
'Utsushimi Camie' thought Kei
"Kei, why did you stop. Did you see someone you know" asked Shou as he noticed Kei stop
Kei, who got distracted by Shou turned back around only to find he could no longer see the mother and daughter pair.
"No" said Kei with a smile on his face before he continued "let's keep going. I'm hungry"
"If you were so hungry you would not have stopped" responded Shou
When Kei heard Shou he smiled and continued to walk. As he walked he could not help but think of when he will meet more people from the manga and anime he enjoyed watching.
After Kei and Shou finished eating. They continued looking around.
Finally after a few more hours of shopping they decided to go to an arcade center for a while then call it a day and go home.
As Kei and Shou were playing some games. Kei could not help but think 'this really has been a relaxing day'
