章 25: Training for Entrance Exam
The following day, Momo followed Nejire to take the recommended exam. Mokami wanted to go with her, but all he would do there would be wait outside, so he opt to wait in the house and play with Eri instead. She was coming along nicely and getting more and more confident every day. Since she grew up with them, she learned common sense and was homeschooled, so when she reached the age, she would start her career just like he and Momo did. Whatever she wanted to be at the time.
He was also following the baby he placed instead of Eri at the time. Since that family crumbled in anime because Eri accidentally killed her father, the baby girl he placed still lived happily with her new family. She would be an orphan, but now she had a loving family so it was redeeming in his heart.
Mokami went to the kitchen to cook some food for Eri and himself. Eri was learning how to cook with him for a while and she was so happy when she discovered she could cook and do much more. She was still a kid but learning to take care of her Nii-chan was something she yearned for. Although the kitchen was fully automated, there were basic instruments to cook a simple meal and Mokami too enjoyed cooking from time to time. He also liked to spend his time with Eri, so win-win.
Mika and Eire went to work in the morning so it was just siblings, and after cooking breakfast, the duo sat in front of the TV and ate while watching some cartoons.
After they finished, Mokami decided to do some training while waiting for Momo to return. There were only two weeks left since the entrance exam, and he had to admit he was a bit excited. Although he knew he could win easily, he was still nervous about the whole thing. He wanted to be in the same class as his sister. He also wanted to make a good first impression.
He long ago decided to change the world, and to do so, he had to be a strong hero. But strength only wasn't enough. For example, Endeavour was strong, but he wasn't liked by the people, so his authority was limited.
All-Might was strong but he didn't have a say in the world of the rich, so he was still oblivious to shady things happening in the underworld. There were all sorts of strengths; raw, popularity, and money were just three of them.
That is why he had to make a good impression in the school and media, so people would accept him. He had confidence in his power and he was sure he could become one of the strongest people on Earth in a couple of years with his Quirk. He was also one of the richest people already, and after he inherited the family company, he would be inside the circle of those bastards. All he required was popularity. If he could have that, he could change the world.
"Onii-chan, what are you going to do?" Eri asked.
"I am going to do some training. Do you want to join me or stay here?"
"I wanna watch Onii-chan!" Eri said with a big smile. Mokami smiled back at her and put her on his shoulder.
"Then let's go." Mokami controlled his body and ran with his sister on his shoulder to one of the many special training areas in the house.
To keep the girls from depending on their Quirks only, Mokami had special training areas built in the house. The one he was going to use this time was the martial room. For almost ten years now, he and Momo had been taking private classes, and the duo had mastered many martial arts. They were also masters in many weapons. He decided to make use of some weapons to blow off some steam and keep his muscles fresh. He was planning to use a weapon in the entrance exam after all.
When he entered the room, he found the basic weapons on the wall and he put some training mats on the fighting ground.
"Onii-chan, why do you train so much?" Eri asked. Mokami smiled and gently patted her head.
"I am trying to become a hero, and in order to accomplish that, I have to be strong. In this world, power governs everything. No matter how strong your intentions are, if you don't have strength, you are powerless. That is why I try to be stronger every day. Do you want to be a hero too?"
"I think so…" Eri said as she looked at him and smiled.
"Well, I am sure you can do anything no matter what you want. "Mokami smiled back and kissed her forehead. Eri then placed her hands on his cheeks and gave him a huge smile.
"Thanks, Nii-chan."
"Mmmm" Mokami hummed and patted her head.
Then the training started. It was just a training session to relax his muscles, so he went easy on himself.
He started by practicing some unarmed martial arts, then a little exercise to get some sweat. After that, he used some basic weapons he had been training with for years, such as a sword, axe, spear, baton, and knife.
His goal was to be first in the entrance exam. It was sort of a personal challenge for him.
As he was practicing some combos, he noticed the time and sighed. He had been practicing for three hours now.
"10 minutes break!" He said to himself. He then looked at the chair and noticed Eri was curled up and sleeping. He sighed in guilt and scooped her up, then took her to her bed and tucked her in.
After resting he returned to the training room and continued, he picked a bokken, a wooden training sword. It was the weapon used for Kendo, in which the user tried to strike the opponent with the lightest touch. It was a perfect weapon for his training. The weapon had two flat sides and no edges, so it was ideal for training purposes. Of course, this bokken was made of special wood, so it was much, much heavier than its counterpart.
Mokami walked back to the mats and placed the sword against the wall. He then took his stance and started to train. He started with basic strikes, moving his sword like a dancer. He slashed and cut, bending his hips and torso to perform smooth movements.
As he went on, his arms became warm, as well as his chest. His fast movements started landing on him, and he felt the need to go faster. Using an arm to grab the sword, he moved his hips and torso in a circular motion. His arms burned with the weight of the weapon.
He continued to practice, feeling like a blade. As the practice continued, he started to go faster and faster, feeling the rush of adrenaline mixed with his blood.
When he finished, he breathed heavily as his muscles burned with the effort. He looked at the sword and almost felt bashful. He had been training so much that he couldn't even keep up with his own weight. He then placed the bokken back on the wall and left for the living room.
Eri was still sleeping, so he didn't wake her. He noticed that it was already evening and thought that Momo should be returning soon. He then decided to wake up Eri and head to the kitchen to cook dinner.
"I'm going to wake up Eri after taking a bath. We can cook together again." Mokami then took a quick bath and went to the little girl's room and gently shook her, trying not to startle her.
"Nii-chan!" Eri said as she rubbed her eyes.
"I'm going to the kitchen to cook. Are you hungry?"
"Yeah!"
"Then let's go together. Okay?"
"Okay!" Eri said with a smile. Mokami then put Eri on his shoulder and headed for the kitchen. The duo cooked for everyone and as they were about to finish, the front door opened and Mika and Eire walked in. Five minutes after them, Nejire and Momo too arrived. Momo was ecstatic, which only meant that she passed the exam.
"I am proud of you, Momo-chan." He went to hug his sister and kissed her forehead.
"All thanks to you, Onii-chan, hehe." Momo giggled as she blushed. Nejire looked at them with a smile and hugged both.
