Kimimaro watched the father and son duo leave before he turned around and started walked again. He needed a place to train without people watching him especially because his powers could be really creepy to most. This world was a lot softer as well so if they saw him suffer they might force him to stop, putting him on watch list.

'That would be uncomfortable' he thought as he walked, the people did not interest him at the moment so he ignored them.

After some time he finally came across an abandoned construction site, it was in a place that was far protected from sight and it was big enough for him to practice in without any worries.

"Danger" The sign read as it seems the place might be falling apart but good enough for him to break his body.

Kimi walked in with no hesitation and looked around the place carefully to know where he could practice what. The steel beam area for him to practice his combat on and the sharp piercing steel wires to test his bones cutting ability but first he headed for the third floor which was around 7 m height. He looked down from above as the ground looked further than ever, he felt somewhat tingly as he decided to jump.

Kimi strengthened his bones with his power and readied them for harsh landing; his bones grew and created more layers for better protection. His arm and legs were both covered in bone that acted like armor, it was smooth and flexible.

"Let's do this" Kimi said as he ran ahead and jumped, the gravity did its job dragging him down.

"Bam" a small noise was created along with tiny crater from the impact. Kimi felt intense pain but he was still conscious, his legs had shattered on impact while the rest of his body had fracture. Kimi had made sure to focus his power on protecting his heart and lungs as even f they healed blood might get stuck inside them.

"Aaaah" painful moans escaped his mouth as his bones were fixing themselves, the only thing he could do was endure as he focused on making it an effective process.

'This is really worse than before; the body is too squishy and makes me feel higher pain' Kimi thought as along with his bones he had to train his pain tolerance

The process took an hour as the damage was a lot but with time it would lessen, Kimi stood up and checked how his bones felt. They gave him the feeling of slight growth so he didn't continue with the jumping again for today but headed towards the sharp wires.

He stood on its side as he held his hand and took out his bone, the bone of his arm had smoothed up when it arrived in his grip while inside another one was replacing it.

"It used to be instantaneous but now it takes so long" Kimi said as he felt his left arm empty while the bone healed slowly

He distracted himself from the disappointing facts by practicing; he locked onto his target and stabbed it. The bone sword did not break but did get damaged so he went with a slash, it broke in half.

'Not strong enough to damage steel' He concluded from the test and refrained from doing his ultimate moves as they required high level of endurance and healing.

'I would die if I took out my spine now' Kimi laughed with self ridicule

He made the broken bone sword connect and pushed it back inside his arm, it connected with the already forming one and it turned normal once again. Now instead of creating a new one his powers focused on healing the damage which wasn't much so it healed within a minute as he walked up to the steel beams.

Until 7 p.m. Kimimaro continued to beat against the harsh surface as his bones cracked and healed but the growth never happened easily even with hard work so the results were not big but enough to say that he grew stronger.

Kimi was filled with sweat and his clothes had blood stains, he had difficulty even standing anymore as his stamina had been over drafted.

"Huff, Huff" He pushed against the ground and stood up with shaky steps as he gritted his teeth and walked towards home.

'I should not have done it to such an extent now I am not even sure I will get home' Kimi reprimanded himself as he walked with immense effort

"Hey kid, you okay" A passerby asked as it was quite visible that he was having difficulty

"Okay, thank you for asking" Kimi rebuffed his approach and continued his way

"Kids these days can be real amazing, huh" the man said as he continued on his path

But unlike the man who gave him space, Kimi came across a kid of 7 who he supposed was lost from his look. The kid was standing in front of him and blocking his path, "What do you want?" he muttered with difficulty.

"I want to help you"

Kimi indicated no need but the boy insisted, "You can't walk properly and it seems you will fall any minutes so please let me help." The boy looked at him earnestly with desire to help and he knew it will be more troublesome to try and dodge him.

"Okay but first let's look for your parents"

"Hey, I am not lost. My mother just got lost not me so we should look for her." The boy looked embarrassed and messed up his words as he tried to deflect it onto his parent.

'"Then let's find your mother, she should be worried."

"Thanks, sorry when I said I will be helping but now here I am relying on your assistance." The boy said while rubbing the back of his head

"No problem. What does your mother look like" Kimi talked with less difficulty as his body kept on healing but soon he would require high intake of food to compensate for the damage and healing, he was starving.

The boy described the looks of his mother and Kimi looked around carefully as he was helped along, within a minute he found a woman in the crowd who looked similar to the description somewhat as it was vague but he was sure mostly cause of her actions. The woman looked like she was searching for someone and called out the name, "Izuku"

"It seems we found her"

"Yeah" Izuku smiled as he led him towards his mother

"Momma" Izuku called out and the woman looked towards them, she rushed in quickly and hugged Izuku

"I was so worried, never do that again" She said with worry in her tone

"I won't do that again. I just saw this kid having difficulty walking so I got separated" He said pitifully

The woman then realized Kimi's presence and saw how tired he looked.

'What a poor kid, was he bullied? He looks like he is starving, abuse?' These were her thoughts as she had seen her beloved child get bullied by his previous friends and she could do nothing to save him from it.

But as she looked at him she realized that she had seen him somewhere, 'Oh! He is the kid from the news.' Her view changed instantly as she couldn't this kid getting bullied.

"Okay let's get him home. Do you wish to get something to eat?" She asked Kimi gently

"I have to decline as I need to get back with haste, food is waiting and I dislike to waste food." Kimi said calmly with no emotion on his face

'He really is different from normal children; I felt that when I saw his look on TV but close solidified that view.'

"Okay, let me give you a ride"

Kimi got on the car along with Izuku sitting in the back, "Sorry what was your name again?"

"Kimimaro" He said slowly

"Oh, okay. What hero, do you like the best?" Izuku started talking about his most beloved topic

"No one, I will be one myself and I find no one to be some to look up to" Kimi answered without hesitation as he couldn't really say that he looked up to his master who was a hero in his eyes but to them he didn't exist.

Izuku was surprised by the answer but to him it showed that Kimi had confidence in himself unlike him, he almost felt down from the thoughts of bullying but continued talking.

"My favorite is All Might, he is so cool, he can ….." Izuku talked on and on

"He can do that but what does this help you with. Can you learn from him or even become a hero like him?"

Izuku was stopped in his track as he didn't know how to answer, 'What did I learn from All Might?'

"I learned that I should help people in need no matter what happens" Izuku replied with determination which surprised him slightly as he thought kid would shut up

"You learnt a life lesson but do you have the ability to help" Kimi pressed him

This time Izuku completely stumped as he remembered how his hope had been crushed and he looked down while shaking his head. "No"

"You did help me so I will provide advice in return. You don't need to be so down as quirks aren't everything. You can be a hero without them by just training in martial arts and your mental capabilities along with appropriate weapons. Most super villains would lose to weapons, so just train using them and you will be a hero." Kimi said slow and patient voice

Izuku listened to his words carefully and felt his hope building, "Really?"

"He is right, I should have thought of this before but even I had gotten used to the superheroes." Izuku's mother said in embarrassment

"So yes, you just need practical skills and weapons to be a hero. Your mother can probably now be able to tell you about later."

Hearing the confirmation from his mother and Kimi's words Izuku felt his world brighten up and expand, he had not given up his dream of being a hero but he was really pessimistic about it. Now he felt like he could walk with back straightened up and take on the world with a smile.

"Thank you" Izuku muttered with tears rolling down his cheeks, this younger boy had set flames to his engine and he could feel himself get motivated. He couldn't wait to get home and search the net for martial arts and physical exercise guides along with information on weapons.

"You are welcome. You insisted on helping me so I repaid that debt, nothing more so you owe me nothing." Kimi voice with expressionless face made him feel like an otherworldly being

'He talks like an adult, is he really same as me' Izuku thought as he looked at Kimi

"No, I will help you once I have gotten stronger."

Kimi nodded and just relaxed as they were about to arrive at the orphanage, after a minute he got out of the car.

"Thank you for the ride"

"No problem and you helped us instead so really no need."

Kimi excused himself and entered the orphanage heading towards his room to clean up and get ready for dinner.

The mother and son duo left towards home in peace.

"Momma, can I be friends with Kimimaro?"

"Yes"

"Thank you so can we come here again"

"Some time, you can't come here everyday"

"Hnhn, that's good enough. Don't you think he was weird?"

"Izuku don't call people weird but he is like this because of his traumatic experience most likely"

"What?"

"He is the kid you saw on TV yesterday"

"So cool, I wanted to see him fight and now I can be friends. So awesome" Izuku shouted in excitement


Kimimaro ate dinner and read in the library then went to sleep, his dreams were not peaceful. He dreamed of his loss, his master and his failure which caused him to sweat and move in his sleep, the unknown new world and the new path was causing him to worry which had manifested into nightmares.

He woke up at 4.30 A.m. and washed his face, he then walked down into the garden where he enjoyed the smell of fresh air in the morning.

'I hope these problems would just disappear. Why am I, feeling so insecure? Am I really so dependent on others?'

Kimi mused before started going through his combat dance but without the use of his powers as he didn't want to lose energy so early. This continued on for hours until he was sweating so much that he had been drenched in it and the time was 6.45.

'15 min to breakfast' He thought as he relaxed his body and sat down on the grass in a lotus position, he took in the fresh air and exhaled causing his body to cool down.

'Should I consider weapons as well, as they can still be useful at the current level? But how can I get access to them and will the law be a problem if I kill. Being hero seems real troublesome if I have to refrain from eliminating my targets.' Kimi sighed as he thought of actually having to capture his foes every time

'I would die in not much time if I had to care for my opponent's life when they want nothing more than to kill me. Should I consider to taking them out the old fashioned way and assassinate them while stealing their properties?'

"Hmm, the only one who can be of use will be Endeavor." He muttered

'Let's increase our relationship with father and son to get access to their connections and authority. He should be able to get me weapons and I can learn many things from him as he has an agency which he runs. I might even get missions in the future making it easier for me to earn my keep and find targets to fight as I try to find a real goal.'

'This life of hero ship will bore me in the end so I shall look for an appropriate goal to replace what I have lost.' Kimimaro thought as he stood up and walked inside.
