[Ikejiri's POV]
It seems like the loss against the slidge villain wasn't just an issue between me and Suni. It seems like it also got Silver.
Because of this, Suni devised a training programme that will increase our quirks capacity and power.
And so, the next two days, I trained with Suni and Silver in the beach. Silver and I were trying to overuse our quirks so that we can go over our limit. While Suni was watching us from behind, reading my every movement... and so does my twin sister Silver.
Suni tasked me to punch the waters and create a pathway. I did what she said and was swallowed by the wave, again. Gah! I can't do this! This task is reminding me of that sludge incident.
"Focus everything in your hand and punch." Suni said. Ugh.
"I'm trying!" I answered her and did the method again.
I look at Silver and saw her trying to make a pathway in the water just as I am. The strength was maintained as the speed of her bullets increases.
Woah. She's doing great but it seems like she wasn't satisfied with the result yet.
"Focus, Ikejiri." I heard a very cold voice. I immediately went back to what I was doing, sweat dripping from my face.
The next day...
"Let's see... With the appearance of superpowers, the Building Standard Act was revised and the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transportation..." Instead of listening to the teacher, I just yawned and then look at my notebook. I wasn't able to create the structure my sister asked me to do and I need more training to do so.
"I can get in about five hours of training morning and night, so that's 490 hours." I stopped writing and glanced at Midoriya with a surprised expression. D-Did he just mumbled out loud?
"Also, that beach cleanup doesn't work out any specific parts of the body. If I don't work out my whole body equally, then there's no way I'll make it. Bodybuilding to create a body able to adapt in any situation, literally intensive training to become a hero. All Might can't stay and watch me the whole time. If I don't do as much as efficient independent training as I can, there's no way I can catch up the way I am now-"
If the teacher didn't hit him in the back, he wouldn't have stopped mumbling.
"Did your encounter with the villain make you go crazy? It's presumptuous to think of getting into UA like that." The teacher said.
The day when we separated with Izuku was the same day when he got attacked, again, this time, with Katsuki.
Even so, mumbling like that all of a sudden is weird for him to do. What happened on his conversation with All Might?
...He's not the only one who's weird, though. Even Katsuki is acting unusual.
After school, I ran towards Katsuki with a smirk.
"Yo. You seemed to be taking easy on Izuku. Are you sick?" I asked teasingly.
He glared at me before walking out of the room.
"I'll destroy that piece of trash in the UA exam. I'll make him see the difference between him and me." He said before disappearing from my sight.
Good thing he forgot about my sister.
[Silver's POV]
"How's school?" Suni asked me as soon as I entered the house.
"Good, I guess? Since I just transferred, the students are really making my life easier." I said and put my bag on the couch. I glanced at her and saw her go out of the house, carrying some laundry with her.
"Anyway, were you in school the whole time, too?" I asked her, hoping that she can hear my voice through the window.
"Yeah." She said. Then why the heck is she so early?
"Anyway, you still have to train Ikejiri when she gets back. Don't forget that we three still have to take the exams." She told me.
Oh yeah, the UA exams.
"Hey, I'm wondering. Why aren't you training?" I asked her.
"Who said I wasn't training?" She asked me through the window.
So, she was training?
[Ikejiri's POV]
Izuku's been acting really weird so I followed him to... a beach with a pile of trash. I blinked at what I'm seeing. Why is he here?
I glanced at Izuku and saw him approach a blonde skinny guy. I walked slowly behind him and was able to catch a part of their conversation.
"Ready for training?" A blonde skinny guy asked Izuku. Izuku nod and began moving some trash that's obviously beyond his level of capability.
"Hey! What are you doing?" I asked Izuku as I ran towards him. What he's doing is ridiculous!
"Ah! I-Ikejiri, what are you doing here?!" He asked, very surprised. My eyes narrowed at his reaction.
"What's with the question? I asked you first, you know." I told him.
"I-I'm actually training." He said. Training?
What's he-!
"You mean you're going to clean the whole beach all by yourself?!" I asked him. He nod, sheepishly.
"That's so amazing! Who's your trainer? I want to join you!" I told him. He look behind me and saw the same skinny guy, smiling at me.
"Who are you?" I asked him. I'm very surprised that he's the one training Izuku since he's so skinny but I guess you can't judge the book by its cover.
"You can call me 'Toshinori'-san, if you want." He said. Toshinori-san, eh?
"Nice to meet you, Toshinori-san! So, can I join you with your training?!" I asked them.
He sighed then scratched the back of his head.
"Alright, if your quirk is strength augmenting, that is." He said. I grinned and punched a pile of junk, sending them away with my quirk.
"How's that?" I asked him. He smiled.
"Alright. That answered the condition. You're in." He said.
My sisters will probably be against this but I want to train. The more training I get, the better. This will boost my ability for the following months.
[Silver's POV]
"She's late. Think she's alright?" I asked Suni. She look at me and nod.
"Of course. Silver, she's Ikejiri. She's the one who inherited the power of our own parents. No need to fret." She said. I look at the gate and sighed as I close it.
"Go ahead and sleep. I'll wait for her." Suni said when she saw me yawned.
"No. I'm fine. I can still stay awake for some time." I said.
"Silver Nanami, go to sleep or I'll drag you to your bed." Suni warned, her face darkening. I gulped and sweat profusely. Scary!
"Okay! No need to be angry, geez!" I said and stomped my foot while walking on the staircase. I walked to my room and shut the door. Approaching the window, I watched as Suni stepped out of the gate, her arms crossed.
I've been too focused on my revenge and gaining power that I forgot to look around me. Even so, I don't regret it. One day, I'll be strong enough to destroy you, Animaxus.
[Ikejiri's POV]
I pushed series of things without the use of my quirk, hoping that it'll, atleast, strengthen my quirk a little.
"It's getting late, Nanami. I think training'll have to be posponed. It's not yet time to rush progress." Toshinori-san said. I gave him a tired smile and nod.
"Thanks for the training! I'll be back tommorow!" I said and ran out of the beach. When I went home, I saw Suni on the gate, waiting for me.
"I'm sorry I'm late." I said, tiredly. She glanced at me before opening the gate.
"Good job. Now, go inside and eat." She said, surprising me.
"You may not have trained with us but I can see how much you improved with it. Keep it up. I'm going to let you train in the evening, but in the morning, you have to train with Silver. You have to train that quirk control of yours." She said.
I smiled and nod. "Thanks." I said and ran inside the house. I immediately ate and slept, not bothering to change clothes. I'm too tired.
