Chapter 4 - ch 4: At explosive speeds

'After the school day, I know my goal. That's to be a hero. I need to now work towards that goal, which means body, quirk, and skill training.'

'As for my mind, I'm pretty confident in that. After all in my last life, I was hailed the smartest man to ever live. Not that It kept me from dying stupidly.'

'So maybe mentality needs training, not intelligence. Yes, that will work.' A hand waving in my face brings me out of my thoughts. I see mitsuki kneeling in front of me. "Are you okay? Your spacing out?"

'I'll say some random science jargon that should keep her from worrying. Wait, do I want to be seen as a ge... ah, whatever.' I sigh "just thinking about how we've only ever measured the two-way speed of light. So the equation for nuclear explosions, which is y equals mc squared. Should really be y equals m (c times two) squared."

She just stares at me blankly. "Uh huh, and I guess that was a real emotional thought with the frown and all." I just blush and point my finger and go to yell something, but nothing comes out, so I just stand there for a moment, then walk away awkwardly.

'I'm just going to go test the limits of this body.' I think as I ignore the snickering coming from mitsuki behind me.

I get to my room and start doing push-ups. Until I can't anymore. 'Damn only 10, eh?' I think as I switch to sit-ups. After 12 situps, I switch to squats, only able to do 8 before I'm exhausted. 'This is kinda sad.'

[You have gained 1 Vitality for pushing your body]

[You have gained 1 strength for working your muscles]

'No dex huh did the workouts not train it? I'll have to figure that out soon if I want to plan an exercise routine that works all physical stats at the same time.' I give myself a break, then do it again. Not stopping until mitsuki calls me down for dinner.

'I gained 2 more strength and 1 Vitality. I've already got a couple of ideas on how to train dex. I'll do that later.'

I make my way to the kitchen, my dad already home and at the table. 'Mitsuki made some miso soup. It tastes pretty good'

*izuku pov*

I make it home after school. In the living room, my mom is making food. My mind can't help but go back to school.

'Some heroes don't have a quirk suited for combat and can still kick a combat quirk users ass.'

As my mind flashes back to ka... oni-chan's words I can't help but think. 'I need to train. A suit that fires lazers? I need to study technology. All might have to take me seriously in a fight? I need to be stronger. That means martial arts, too. I'll start on the path you showed to me oni-Chan. I won't disappoint you.'

*mc pov*

Achoo 'Is someone talking about me?' I shake my head and get back to training my quirk. The bath water obscuring the bathroom in steam. I hold my hands together while I make the explosion. That way, I'm training my explosion and explosion resistance.

[The skill [Explosion resistance] has evolved from [novice] to [apprentice]. Please choose an evolution path]

[Force resistance]

[Resist stronger physical forces]

[Temperature resistance]

[Resist more dramatic temperatures]

'I pick force resistance. While temperature is good, force resistance will probably let me experience way more g-forces than normal. So, moving at explosive speeds literally. Sign me up.'

And like this, our days pass in peace.

*time skip*

I lean forward, sweat dripping down my body. 'I can still keep going.' I bring my hands together underwater and cause an explosion. "It's been a long eleven years." I can't help but say as I look at the screen in front of me.

[The skill [Explosion] has evolved from [expert] to [master]. Please choose an evolution path]

[Activators]

[Different ereas can activate your explosions]

[Force]

[Your explosions are stronger]

I pick activators again, and I feel my body get a slight tingling sensation. 'Novice was hands, apprentice was feet, adept was arms, expert was legs, and finally master wich was the rest of my body. It took so long to level it up mainly because i can't release strong explosions having to hide my training and all in the bathroom.'

I can't help but chuckle. 'I've been exploding in the bathroom. My brother in my past life would have made so many that's what she said jokes about that.' A small smile appears on my face, but it dissappears pretty soon. I hear a ding from my system.

[Would you like to [legendary] the skill [explosion]. Doing so will keep its evolutions but reset its growth through level]

[Yes] [no]

'Hell, yes, I want to do that. My explosions are a little stronger than katsuki was in cannon, and I dont think he trained it nearly as much as I did. This means that if I can pick force from each level up, I can go from building level explosions to probably city level easily.' A grin appears on my face as I imagine cause an explosion as big as a nuke.

I quickly shake my head. I bring my hand forward and cause the strongest explosions I can.

Pop, pop

'So I'm back to fire crackers, huh...'

I just shake my head with a chuckle. I then cause that same level of explosions on every surface of my body.

Pow

'I need to find a place I can train my explosions. If I want to level it up quicker, I need to let out stonger explosions. Trying to be quite just won't work. I guess this is a good time to work on flight then.'

I get dressed and leave the bathroom. Heading down to the living room, I see mitsuki in the kitchen. She seems to be aware of my approach and turns to me. 'She's gotten better at that.'

"Finally out of the bath. You know, if you didn't always take that long in there, I would think you're doing other things." She says with a grin, probably hoping to embarrass me.

I just grin back "nah if I wanted to do that, I'd find a girl. There is no reason for me to be alone with these looks." She throws a label in my direction which I quickly duck.

"You better not be doing that with any girls you're too young." She sais with a slight glare. I just grin more. "It's fine. The women I'm doing it with are not as young as me. They know how to be responsible even if I don't."

"Katsuki!" She screams as i start dodging an armory of kitchen supplies.
