Chapter 002

Before reading this chapter I recommend on playing the music titled Top Japanese version by Stray Kids.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been 3 years since then. I have grown since then. My hair is blond and my face resembles my father while my black eyes and Asian skin tone is from my mom. In the first year of my life, I can already walk without any help from my parents. They where astonished first but became happy that their son learn faster. While mastering my walking, I tried practicing some exercise like seat up and push up but my body can't perform them well. And so I focused on walking in order to increase my stamina.

My parents freak out when I disappeared for half a day. After that they hired a baby sitter to watch over me. Before my 2nd birthday, I learned how to speak properly. My parents were happy about it and threw a party for it. Nothing major happened for the past year, except about me training over our dojo.

My father owns a dojo, few of those people whom father taught became Pro-heroes. My father was happy when I asked him to train me but my mom got angry. They argued until I intervene with my super skill puppy eyes. My mom and dad got to an agreement that until I turned to eight I would only build my stamina by exercises which I agreed. Right now I am running around our dojo. While running I saw some of father's disciple sparing each other. While passing through, the disciples stopped and greeted me. I returned their greeting and continued my run.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Another year has passed and now I am four years old. My body has grown since I was three. My height is on the waist line of an adult. Right now I'm still doing my routine in building my stamina.

As I was exercising, a disciples called out to me.

"Young master, Master is calling you."

"Okay. I'm gonna go now."

I stopped what I was doing and started to walk towards the dojo. My father called me as he saw me.

"Jake, how's your training?" (Jason)

"Its fine. So dad, why did you call?" (Jake)

"Well, your mom said that she'll have you enroll in school near the house." (Jason)

"School huh. So when would I start going to school? " (Jake)

"Later we'll know. Let's wait for Kanae. She'll be here a few minutes later." (Jason)

When dad said that I decided to continue my training. I'm doing push up using 3 fingers. This way my fingers will get accustomed to weight and increase its firmness. Once I can do push up with a single finger, I'll start my practice one of the 6 Powers of Marine: Shidan.

As I continued my practice, dad seems observing me. He had been watching without making any sound to avoid distracting me. After a few minutes passed, my fingers reached its limit but I continued my push up. Enduring the pain I persisted my exercise, because I believed that once limit is reached only having the will to continue can break my limit and may awaken my Haki or any hidden potential of the body. My fingers finally gave up and I fell down.

*Thud*

As I rest in the floor, father lift me like a dead soldier and brought me to the kitchen. He gave me a glass of cold juice with biscuits. Mom arrived at the kitchen before I even started eating.

"Oh there you are. Honey, mom got you enrolled in a Pre-school near our house. Just a few blocks away from the house. Hmm... Dear, why is our son soaked wet?" (Kanae)

"Well, he just finished his training while waiting for you." (Jason)

"Honey, go get change." (Kanae)

"Okay mom." (Jake)

I went to my room to get some clothes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

*Jason and Kanae POV*

"Hey, Kanae." (Jason)

"What dear?" (Kanae)

"Have you seen Jake training?" (Jason)

"Yes, a few times. What of it?" (Kanae)

"Well, our son is seriously training himself. Looking at this makes me wonder why would he train so harder." (Jason)

"Yeah well maybe because he wanted to become a strong hero." (Kanae)

"I know but, he isn't going out playing with other kids. This makes me worry." (Jason)

"I know what you feel. But we already made a decision to support him. All we can do is watch and guide him. Besides I've enrolled him to school so there's no need to worry." (Kanae)

"I'm worried about him. He never act spoiled except when he asked our permission about him training. He does go out our house but instead of playing, his training himself. Most of the kids his age asked for toys and stuff but he didn't. I know our son is smart but I want him to do stupid things, fail and get scolded. Isn't it our role as parents to correct their wrongs?" (Jason)

"I also feel that way. All I hoped for for him is to be happy. Right now this is his happiness, and I will support him to whatever he decides. We will correct him if he do wrong and guide him if he strays. So you don't have to worry about it to much." (Kanae)

"Yeah." (Jason)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

After changing my clothes I went to the kitchen where mom is waiting. We went to the school to finalize the enrollment.

"Oh, so this is your son Kanae. He looks like Jason."

A woman with gentle look appeared and talk.

My mom responded.

"Yes he looked like him, well teacher Diana please take care of my son. He isn't a trouble maker and quite smart but please look after him." (Kanae)

After saying that mom ruffled my hair.

"Sure. Hi Jake, I'm Diana Kamado. Please to meet you." (Diana)

"I'm Jake Suzuki, please take care of me teacher." (Jake)

"Hmm. He's quite polite. Well class will start tomorrow. Don't be late." (Diana)

"Yes teacher." (Jake)

"Bye Diana. Visit us in our house if you have time." (Kanae)

"Sure if I'm not busy." (Diana)

While walking home I asked.

"Mom what relationship does teacher Diana have with you?" (Jake)

"We were classmate during Junior High. I never thought that she'd became a teacher." (Kanae)

"So mom knows teacher. What quirk does teacher Diana have?" (Jake)

"I can't say it because of privacy. You shouldn't asked someone what their quirk is because that's rude." (Kanae)

"Okay mom." (Jake)

"I'm glad you understand." (Kanae)
