Early Morning Resolve:
The dawn broke over U.A. High, casting long shadows and golden light across the training grounds. Most students were still in their dorms, recovering from the recent battle, but one figure stood alone amidst the training equipment.
Kaito tightened his grip on Kurikara, the katana with gold highlights and a black hilt. The kanji for "Unbreakable" gleamed at the cap of its hilt, a constant reminder of his resolve.
"I need to be stronger," he muttered to himself, determination in his eyes. "I can't rely on my friends to always have my back. I need to protect them too."
Pushing Beyond Limits:
Kaito began his training routine with rigorous physical exercises, pushing his body to the limit. He lifted weights, ran laps, and performed countless push-ups and sit-ups. His muscles burned, but he welcomed the pain as a sign of his progress.
After the physical training, he moved on to combat drills. He practiced his swordsmanship with Kurikara, executing precise slashes and thrusts. The blade sang through the air, a testament to his growing skill.
"Focus," he reminded himself. "Precision over power."
Mastering the Undead Quirk:
Kaito then turned his attention to mastering his Undead quirk. He practiced regenerating different parts of his body, controlling the speed and extent of his healing. He experimented with manipulating his body, twisting and hardening his limbs to simulate various attacks.
He fired off Parts Bullets, launching half-torn body parts as projectiles. His fist flew through the air, detonating on impact with a training dummy.
"Parts Bullet Fist!" he shouted, his voice echoing through the empty training grounds.
He continued with his arsenal of techniques, perfecting each one. Crimson Bullet, Repair Boost, Dead Blade – each move was honed to perfection, his control over his abilities growing with every repetition.
Pushing Boundaries:
Kaito took a moment to catch his breath, sweat dripping down his face. He had been training for hours, but he wasn't done yet. He needed to push his boundaries, to see how far he could go.
He focused on his most advanced techniques, the ones that required the greatest control and precision. Blood Propulsion allowed him to levitate and move swiftly through the air. He combined it with his swordsmanship, slashing at targets from different angles.
"Repair Boost Bloody Enchant!" he yelled, coating Kurikara in hardened blood and amplifying his slash. The blade cut through a steel beam, showcasing the immense power of his technique.
Reflecting on His Journey:
As the sun began to set, Kaito paused to reflect on his journey. He had come a long way since discovering his quirk and learning about his true parentage. The battle with All For One had shaken him, but it had also given him clarity.
He wasn't training just to prove himself or to overcome his father's legacy. He was training to protect his friends, to become the hero he knew he could be.
"I'll never give up," he vowed, looking out over the training grounds. "No matter what comes, I'll keep pushing forward."
A New Challenge:
Just as Kaito was about to finish his training for the day, he sensed a presence behind him. He turned to see Aizawa-sensei watching him, arms crossed and a thoughtful expression on his face.
"You've been working hard," Aizawa said, his voice calm but approving. "But remember, strength isn't just about power. It's about control and knowing when to use it."
Kaito nodded, taking his teacher's words to heart. "I understand, sensei. I'll keep working on it."
Aizawa gave a rare smile. "Good. Now, let's see if you're ready for the next level of training."
