One year had passed since All Might was injured.
During this time All Might was still hospitalized. Just like Kei had said 'the road to recovery will not be easy' remembered All Might as he was resting after his third surgery had been completed.
As time had passed, people still came to visit All Might to wish him well. The people that came to visit the most were Gran Torino and Sir Nighteye. Following them were Detective Naomasa and Kei, which came to help him heal faster, as well to talk about what has been going on in their day to day lives.
The more time went by, the more frustrated All Might became. The time he was spending in the hospital, was the most challenging thing he had ever done.
The more he stayed, the more he wanted to leave. Of course, whenever he wanted to leave, his friends would always convince him otherwise.
This situation had continued for months. Until one day, one month ago, a certain incident happened that required All Mights assistance.
When All Might saw the incident in question, he immediately got out of his bed. As he struggled to make his way out of his room.
It did not matter who it was that tried to convince All Might not to go. Everyone could see that he was adamant to go. It was because of this incident that Sir Nighteye and All Might would no longer work together.
——————————————————————-
During this time Kei had turned ten years old.
It was now the middle of december and kei like usual was hard at work with his training.
Currently keis training consisted of three things.
The first was to increase the power output of his current elements, as well as the elements of light and darkness, that he had started training in the past few months. This training had been something kei had been doing since the beginning and it was something kei had grown accustomed to. Training to master the elements was one the things kei wanted to accomplish before he entered high school.
The second was training his healing power. This was one of the things kei was putting a lot of effort in. If he wanted to heal All Might completely, he would need to get a better handle of this part of his ability.
one of the things he was doing in his spare time was learning more about the human body. From the muscles, bones, and other such things that kept the body going. Kei did not know if doing such research would prove useful, but it was better to try it than not.
As for the third training he was doing, that was training his quirk. Over the past year, his [Enhancement] training had been seeing good progress. Right now the duration of using his [Enhancement] quirk was one hour. As for the boost in strength, speed and endurance his increase was on the level of twice the peak level of an adult athlete.
When kei had heard that all might left the hospital, he knew that all might and sir nighteye had ended their partnership.
'Right now sir nighteye should be making his own hero agency' thought kei as he finished his training for the day.
Now that Sir Nighteye was making his own agency. It was only a matter of time before he met Mirio and had him join his agency.
'Once he trains mirio, he should meet up with all might and try to persuade him to have mirio inherit one for all' thought kei as he was making his way into his house
'Although all of that would be for nothing, since all might will run into midoriya izuku' thought kei as he made his way to his room
There were only four years left before all might and midoriya izuku met. Then there was going to be the months of training midoriya izuku would do, so he can use one for all. Even though he still would not be able to use it properly at least the quirk would not kill him like all might had said it could.
Although kei knew he still had five years worth of time on his hands before he entered high school. He still felt it was insufficient for the training he wanted to accomplish. There was just too much to do and kei felt that it was going to be impossible to finish.
As kei finished thinking of his own training, he could not help but think of shou's progress. Currently shou had become very proficient in his martial arts, Add his current mastery of different weapons he trained in and he was a force to be reckoned with.
The thing that had impressed kei the most recently was actually shou's parents. His parents had already started building the proto type of the suits kei had mentioned to them. Although they were only proto types, the suits were still functional to a certain degree.
Seeing this kei felt that he had underestimated shou's parents. At the rate they were going they should have a completed piece within the next two or three years. This was something that excited kei a lot. If the suits were finished by then, shou's chances to reach his dream would sky rocket.
Once keis thoughts reached there he went to take a shower. When he finished showering, he decided to make himself a snack and watch some tv. Although kei was busy training, it did not mean that he did not take some time to rest and relax. Usually he would just watch a show or movie that caught his attention. Sadly today he found nothing to watch.
Suddenly Kei remembered something he had been wanting to buy for a while now. It was something he used to play all the time in his past life. That something was a guitar.
The reason he had yet to get a guitar till now, was because he was too busy with training. It was not until the last couple of months that Kei was taking more time to relax in the afternoon.
The other reason Kei had not gotten a guitar as of yet was money. At the time he thought of getting a guitar, he was broke. So the only thing he could do was save up his money, which he now he had enough.
'Since I got the money and spare time on my hands, I might as well go buy one now' thought Kei as he stood up and headed to the door
———————————————————————
Kei had remembered that there was a music store near his home. Since it was close by he might as well check it out first. If he did not find a guitar that caught his eye there, then he just needed to go to another store.
Once kei got to the store, he went in and searched where the guitars were. When he found the area of the store that had the guitars on display, he immediately started looking through them. After a while none of them really caught his attention.
Since Kei found nothing he liked in the first store. He decided to go see if the next store had anything that caught his eye.
Once Kei arrived to the second store, he entered it. It was then, that Kei realized that this store unlike the previous one, sold other instruments besides guitars.
It made sense why though, considering how big this store was compared to the other one. Since this store had more instruments, Kei decided to look around before moving on to the guitars.
There were a lot of different instruments in this store. There were some that Kei recognized and some he had never even heard of before. As he continued to look around, he ran into the classical instruments section.
As Kei passed that area he noticed the violins. When he saw the violin, he could not help but remember his past life.
In keis past life. His sister was a prodigy of the violin. There were times that when she practiced, Kei would go and listen. Just as he was remembering how great of a talent his sister was, he felt sad that this world did not have some of his favorite songs that his sister would play for him from time to time. Luckily, Kei who got into music from watching his sister play. Decided to learn how to play the violin as well as another two instruments.
Although Kei was nowhere near as good as his previous life's sister. He was still proficient enough to at least not mess up the song. Kei made his way to play the song he remembered in a large booth.
Once Kei got inside he started to play the violin. The name of the piece he was playing was 'Devils Trill Sonata' This was keis favorite song that was played on the violin.
As Kei started to play, the music Kei thought no one could hear from inside the booth. Was actually being broadcasted through out the store.
Once Kei was done with his song, he came out only to find the owner of the store and his wife there waiting for him.
When Kei was about to ask if he was not allowed to try the instrument he was using, the manager spoke with astonishment "kid, that song was amazing. Did you write that music yourself?"
"Huh, you heard that, just now?" asked Kei before he continued "I thought these booths were sound proof"
"Well they are, but the one you went in, is the only one that can broadcast through out the store" said the man as he continued "if you had paid attention, you would have noticed the broadcast button was on"
When Kei heard that, he turned his head to look into the booth and just like the owner said, it was on.
"Sorry about that. I hope I did not disturb your business with my playing" said Kei in an apologetic tone
"No, no, don't misunderstand. My wife is a huge fan of classical music, but even she said that she had never heard of the song you played just now" said the store owner
"I was wondering if you could let us know who created the song, so we could look for anymore of his pieces" said the owners wife
When Kei heard the reason why they came to him, he was stunned.
It was only after a few seconds that kei said "I am not sure who created this song, but the person who taught me called this song 'Devils Trill Sonata' if that helps"
When the couple heard that Kei did not know who the creator of this song was, they were disappointed. That was until Kei told them the name of the song. If they had the name then chances were that they still had a chance to find the creator.
Since Kei finished looking around the store. He was disappointed that he did not find a guitar that he liked. Since he had no luck here he decided to look in a different store.
After a couple of minutes he found another music store that was selling guitars.
As Kei went in, he immediately went straight to the section where the guitars were placed. He looked at each one, until he finally found one he liked. Just as he placed his hand on the guitar, he noticed someone else placed their hand on the guitar at the same time he did.
When Kei turned to see who it was, he saw a young fair skinned girl with short dark purple hair. The most noticeable feature were her flexible, plug-like earphone jacks hanging from each of her earlobes at the end of two thin cords.
When Kei saw her he could only think of one person that matched that description.
'Jiro Kyoka' thought Kei with a surprised look on his face
Just then he heard the girl speak with a serious look in her eyes "hey, that guitar, it is coming with me"
