Chapter 2

I just used the minute version than the full. Cuz why the hell not?

"Wait, what?" Hiro asked dumbfoundedly as Irisviel giggled. "A school?"

"Well, yes. As your guardian and mother, I will not allow you to waste away sitting down while drinking wine every day." Irisviel then looked outside the window. "There's a whole new world out there and I forbid you to just stay down, why not do some hero work? Be famous, and even get yourself a girl-" Irisviel then sees Hiro's reaction, his face wasn't dumbfounded anymore but just sadness and she just stopped. "Well, just hero work."  She said.

"Well... I guess, but then again I did establish myself with my own quirk... Freezing that sludge and smashing him with my own hand. Fine then." 

"Great, I'm glad that you took this offer." Irisviel said "Though, I have to ask. What would happen if I didn't tell you this?"

"Then I'd just waste my time in painting."

"You paint?" She asked.

"Yes, one of the reasons why I wanted to go around town was to buy art materials, that's all," Hiro responded.

The following evening, while waiting for Irisviel to finish up with her cooking, as for Hiro. He started writing schedules, training on how to use his new powers that Gilgamesh gave him, and also at the same time trying to learn more about the area and the world. As he does that, Hiro can hear Irisviel humming to herself. 

"That tune..." He closed his eyes as he remembers the time when his mother hummed him to sleep, Hiro smiled and went back to writing. After a few days, he learned all about what was needed around the new world. From quirks on how people get them and how twenty percent of them are only regular people with no quirks. "So, this world will never be equal again, huh? Well. That just proves my point that no human is ever equal." 

"Come on now, there's no need for you to get all Kirei on me, Hiro. Forget everything that priest told you about and just enjoy this new world with a positive outlook on life." Irisviel said as she placed down a plate in front of Hiro. "So, since you already learned all you need in a span of a few days, what will you do now?"

"Training. I know that I don't need it, everything that King Gilgamesh experienced. I have it, it's kind of like muscle memory at this point. But..."

"But, what?" 

"What's the point of this power if the vessel -or my body to be specific- can't even take a hit. I'm a glass at this point." Hiro said.

"I see." Irisviel responded as she took a bite from her bread. "Well, why not go to the gym?"

"No. I don't think it would work. After all, the gym only helps you to get muscle. I'm not trying to do that. I'm trying to find a way to be efficient to use the Gates of Babylon and also to take a sword to the gut and to not die." 

"Wait, you're not planning to go back to the Old World are you?" Irisviel asked with a concerned tone in her voice.

"Wait, we can?" Hiro then shook his head. "No, just because everyone here is weaker than the Heroic Spirits that we know but that doesn't mean we can just let our guard down. I mean we made it here, won't the others come here as well?" Hiro raised his brow which made Irisviel serious.

"Hmm... That is a possibility... But, how can they do that?"  She asked.

"I don't know but... I forgot to tell you this but I met Solomon." As Hiro said that, Irisviel dropped her fork in surprise.

"What...? Please don't tell me you're lying." 

"I'm not. He sent five monsters at me. I killed all of them but that doesn't mean that they'll be the last." Hiro said.
