What is Justice?

Chapter Ten

"Again! Get up on your feet! You want to get stronger right? So, stop whining and get back up!"

A man with white hair and black eyes with a cigarette in his mouth who was at the age of 26 and was wearing a black gym suit was towering over a child at the age of 8 who had green bushy hair and green eyes who was wearing a light mint green P.E. sweater and long pants. The child was holding his stomach and then wobbly got back up before preparing his stance, the man smiled and then charged at the child while giving pointers on the child's stance, punches and evasion moves. They both were in a continuous loop of punch and dodge, this kept going on for a few hours repeating the same process as the child kept on trying to balance his defence and offence and the as the man saw the movement of the child slowed after a few hours, he then punched the guts of the kid and grabbed a towel while wiping his sweat and he saw the child get up and sat next to him, the man then passed a water bottle to the kid.

"That's enough for today Izuku, your stance, punches and dodges have improved and I got to say kid, I'm impressed, you keep surprising me every time with how fast you adapt."

"Thank you, Funai-sensei..."

The kid spoke barely at a whisper level, this was the kid's tenth training session with 'Funai', the man eyed the kid who was looking down, clearly thinking of something, for a while before nudging the kid by the shoulder while smiling.

"Cheer up Izuku! Usually, it takes months for regular people to actually be on your level, you should be at least big minded for a while."

The kid who was identified as 'Izuku' still didn't budge and kept looking at his water bottle, he was clearly gloomy and blames himself for his mother's death. 'Funai' himself didn't expect to train his boss's son, and let alone the one who wanted the training was the son himself, he first thought that the boy would give up at least after 3 meetings with him but the boy was determined alright, heck even when 'Funai' told him to jump building to building the kid actually did it with no hesitation. The kid said he wanted to get stronger so he can protect everyone but he can see a glimpse of a look on 'Izuku's' face, a look he knew all too well, the look of someone who wants revenge.

"Izuku, you are not planning to kill the number two hero, right?"

'Izuku' must have not expected to hear that from him and eyed 'Funai', 'Funai' knew that most people that got revenge didn't feel relieved at the end, sure it might be great at the first few seconds but then usually it bites you back, how did he knew? He was once in a similar state as 'Izuku' but that's a story for another day.

"Izuku, listen I know that you might feel a burning rage and hatred inside you, and it's okay to feel those things but... please remember that, you will reap what you sow... because every action has a reaction created from it..."

"Yes, Funai-sensei."

The kid spoke with a barely higher voice than the first time, it has been a few weeks after 'Izuku's' mother died and as Dragon trusted 'Izuku's' knowledge of the underworld and other things were entrusted to a few of Dragon's most trusted members which was 8 in total, they would catch 'Izuku' staring at his hands or maybe out of the window for some time, the kid has been through something so traumatic but even though he has recovered physically, mentally however not quite.

"Kid, how about I make you katsudon? It's your favourite meal, right?"

The kid's eyes lit up at the mention of his favourite meal and then eyed 'Funai' suspiciously before going back to his depressed state.

"Yeah... but can you even cook?"

"I'm pretty sure I can, how about let's do one more session before that?"
