Daichi's POV

As I was laying on the ground from exhaustion and covered in sweat, an old man wearing a yukata with his slit eyes and white triangle goatee, who had a few wrinkles due to his training that he started at a young age.

???: "Can you continue." he asks me as I try to get up.

Daichi: "I don't think I can grandpa." I said to him as I was heavily breathing between each word.

(For the sake of discerning characters, I'm calling him Akio when he speaks)

Akio: "It's sensei when we are training." he said as he karate chops my head, leaving a small red bump on my forehead.

I groaned in pain as I rubbed around the area where the bump appeared but laughed at him and said, "Sorry Sensei" as I gave him a smile and he smiled back. He then stretched out his hand as I went to grab it, helping me get back up on my feet as he led me to the living room and left me there to rest. Grandpa's place was more of a traditional home with its own garden, as it is surrounded by 5-meter walls to keep his privacy, but I think it was made so that my uncle has an easier time to keep watch on my grandpa with guards at the entrance of the walls. As I was resting, grandpa came back with a plate of sliced apples and sat down as he set it on the table.

Akio: "So Daichi, anything interesting happened in the past week." He says as he grabs one of the slices.

Daichi: "There's a new kid in class who is very interesting." I said back to him as I grab one of the slices myself.

Akio: "Oh, what makes him so interesting." he says as he finishes his slice.

Daichi: "First of all he's quirkless, which he gets bullied for, which made me upset but he said he was ok since he's used to it." I said as I look back to grandpa as I felt an aura of rage around him and I began to breathe heavily, he hates it when people discriminate against others beforehand, especially those who can't control it since his wife had a mutation quirk which made her grow a dog tail with dog ears and was humiliated for it, but proved her worth when she created Tanaka Corporation after she married my grandpa. After a while, he calmed down and apologized for interrupting me. I calmed myself down as I tried to breathe normally.

Daichi: "He is also very quick to learn and tries to improve it, if possible, but he always gets in trouble for it and is forced to spar against one of the higher belts, but although many didn't notice it, he is improving dramatically as he takes in information from his opponent and improves himself, seeing how in each spar, he comes out with fewer scratches and bruises." I said as I saw grandpa take in huge interest.

Akio: "He seems like a very talented individual, is there anything else?" he asks me.

Daichi: "He also seems very intelligent since he was able to use the support gear in the garage without a problem although he is 4 years old." I said as grandpa was shocked when I said how old he was.

Akio: " He's 4 years old ?!" he shouted at me as I gave him a nod of confirmation, "Wow, he really is talented." as he tried to recompose himself.

When we were done chatting, it was time to train again.

Akio: "Now that we're all rested, now it's time to train using your quirk." as I stood up with some concern.

Daichi: "Are you sure grandpa, we just finished resting?" I questioned him.

Akio: "It's not like you ever beat me before using it, besides, you know I can just reset my body with my quirk." he said to me with a grin.

I only chuckled at him, "Ok then,"  as I got into my fighting stance and yelled out, "Heatwave", as my hair turned bright orange and heat started to emit from my body.

Daichi: "You're going down Gramps." I said to him aggressively.

Akio: "Of course you choose the one which is going to make me sweat, and it's sensei when we're training." he said to me as he laughed it off, getting ready in his own stance as I saw him get serious. "Begin," he yelled out as we both rushed in at each other prepared to attack.

~~~~A few hours time skip~~~~

I collapsed to the ground as my quirk deactivated as my body reverted back to normal since my body could no longer handle the exhaustion and bruises all over my body. I looked up at grandpa who barely had a scratch besides the burn marks I left when I made contact with him, but he activated his quirk and he was left with no indication of our battle.

Daichi: "Your quirk is such a cheat, you can lose an arm and have it back in an instant" I complained as he sat next to me.

Akio: "Of course it is, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its drawbacks, I can only reset to what my body was like at midnight, so I can't just revert my body to my youthful age where I can easily take you down more than I already have." I trembled at the thought of facing my grandpa at his prime. "The same goes for you, you can change your body to any kind of weather, enhancing your overall ability with the training I've been giving you, but you must control yourself, don't let the personalities take control, instead use those personalities to your advantage," he said to me as I started to blackout as all the pain and exhaustion settled in. "Sleep tight, Daichi," he said to me as he lifted me up and placed me in one of the guest bedrooms he has, as he covered me with the blanket.

I woke up the next day and ran to find where my grandpa was. He was sitting down eating a bowl of rice with some tamagoyaki.

Akio: "Ah, you're awake, come sit down, I made breakfast." As I walked over to the floor and grabbed my share. After we were done eating, we continued my training, with and without the usage of my quirk. As time passed by, it was time for me to leave, so as grandpa walked me to the door with all of my stuff packed up, I gave him a hug with some tears in my eyes.

Daichi: "I wish you could come live with us." I said to him as he patted my head.

Akio: "I know, me too, but we can't since your uncle is keeping a watchful eye on both of us, I'm just glad that I'm able to see you on the weekends." he said to me as I loosened my grip to see him having a smile that was filled with sadness.

I said goodbye as I promised to see him next week. I got into the limo and just sat there quietly, looking out the window. When we got home, I opened the door to be greeted by a hug by Ichika. I chuckled a bit and lifted her up with my arms since this was a weekly routine. I played with her a bit until she got sleepy, so I placed her in her room and went to my room to do some studying before I went to sleep. I woke up the next day for my scheduled martial art class. As I arrived, I saw Izuku waiting on the chairs, he saw me and ran at me with excitement in his eyes.

Daichi: "Hey there Izuku, what are you so excited about." I asked him as I walked to the changing area, getting myself ready for classes.

Izuku: "I found a video on the gauntlet you gave me and your dad was in it explaining how great the support gear really is." he said so cheerfully.

I stopped for a bit as I slowly looked at Izuku with a shocked expression on my face.

Daichi: " What did you just say?" I questioned him

Author's Note: After talking about Wattpad with a friend, I was pumped up to create another chapter earlier than usual. Also, this is still taking place during July but currently is on its last day, which is why Daichi is not in school yet since he's on break, and Izuku doesn't start school until he's 6 years old. Anyways, that's all I have for today, Thanks for reading and I'll see you on Sunday with a new chapter.
