1 A little kid

[Hosu District - Tokyo, Japan] [Tuesday - 4:50 p.m.]

In a small house in the Hosu district a little kid could be seen in his room while he seemed to draw something with great concentration.

The child's room did not have many remarkable things, apart from the occasional animal stuffed animal, a very colorful bed and a desk with a computer in which the little boy was.

The boy changed colors to draw frequently, although he stopped doing it mostly when he used yellow.

Said boy had vivid red hair and dark brown eyes, a fair complexion and also wore red shorts along with a white T-shirt.

And just when the child seemed very focused on his drawing, the alarm began to sound next to him at 5:00 p.m., causing him to get quite upset because he was taken by surprise and then quickly became excited.

The boy energetically got out of his chair and went to the entrance of his house, then sat in front of it and apparently waited for something.

Time passed and after a few minutes the boy seemed a bit worried, but just when he let his guard down it was heard.

"Dory-chan, I'm here!" said a pretty woman with brown hair, fair complexion, slim body and dark brown eyes calmly, walking through the door and being greeted by the boy.

"Okā-chan!, why did you take so long?" Little Doryoku said as he hugged his mother and had little tears in his eyes.

"Dory-chan, it was just a few more minutes, it's not that bad" said the boy's mother as she comforted him and hugged him lovingly.

The mother hugged the little boy for a moment until the latter seemed to remember something and freed himself from his mother to go find something in his room happily.

The woman smiled warmly at the boy's energy and got up to change clothes in her room.

After a couple of minutes, the woman left her room wearing more comfortable clothes and was greeted by the little boy.

"Okā-chan!, I made you a drawing" said little Doryoku as he handed his drawing to his mother with expectation.

The drawing was something simple, a little smiling star and the words 'I love you mom' with various colors under the star, but still for his mother it was much more than that.

"It's so cute Dory-chan! Come on let's put it in the fridge!" The mother said quite happy and moved as she stroked the boy's head, who seemed very proud of himself.

After this, the little boy and his mother talked about how their day was or played a game with each other, which made the little boy very happy.

"You should have seen it Okā-chan! It was like a grasshopper but red in color and could fly!" Little Doryoku said with little stars in his eyes sitting on the sofa next to his mother and remembering that beautiful creature.

"Dory-chan, there are many kinds of bugs, not just grasshoppers" said the woman, laughing slightly at her son's enthusiasm.

"Really?" said the little boy quite impressed and curious.

"Really, there are many animals in this world Dory-chan, more than you can count" said the mother in an explanatory tone as she stroked the little boy's head.

"More than a hundred ?!" said the little boy, opening his mouth in shock as he seemed to count with his little hand.

"More than a hundred" said the mother, quite amused by his reaction.

Doryoku kept talking to his mother until he remembered something interesting that happened today in his classroom.

"Oka-chan! Today one of the kindergarten kids used his quirk for the first time!" Little Doryoku said excitedly remembering that little detail all of a sudden.

"Really? And how was it like?" said the mother curiously and a little impressed.

"He could make wind balls with his fingers, it was amazing!" Doryoku said excitedly as he gestured with his hands.

"How do you think mine will be Okā-chan?" little Doryoku asked his mother with curiosity and expectation.

"Mmmm, your father could return any blow with twice as much force and I can do this" said the woman with a thoughtful tone and then concentrate a little and form a small heart with a white energy coming from her body.

"Woahhh! I want to do that!" Little Doryoku said with little stars in his eyes and a big smile as he tried to form a heart with his hands too without any success.

The little boy seemed a bit downcast at not being able to form a heart, to which his mother quickly realized.

"Dory-chan, it's time to make dinner, do you want to help me?" The boy's mother said calmly causing him to regain his energy and respond quickly.

"Can we eat Yakitori?!" Little Doryoku said with excitement and anticipation.

"Sure Dory-chan" said the mother happily noticing the enthusiasm of her son.

"Yayyyy! I want to help!" said little Doryoku getting off the sofa and running towards the kitchen quickly followed by his mother.

The first thing Doryoku wanted to do was cut the vegetables, but obviously his mother stopped him as it was dangerous for a child to use a knife, causing him to puff out his cheeks in protest.

Little Doryoku helped clean up some vegetables and set the table instead, while he was too careful with the dishes and moved slowly, making for quite an entertaining scene for his mother.

After several minutes, dinner was ready so they both began to eat quietly, but the little boy seemed to want to ask something.

"Dory-chan, do you have something to tell me?" said the boy's mother as she ate quietly and looked at him curiously.

"How did you read my mind Okā-chan?" said little Doryoku innocently upon being discovered.

"A mother should always know her child" said Doryoku's mother with a proud and confident tone.

The little Doryoku hesitated for a moment about saying his question, but in the end he decided to ask.

"Okā-chan, how was Otō-san like?" little Doryoku asked with a bit of reluctance but quite expectant for the answer.

The woman was taken by surprise because of this and she was a bit saddened to see that her son wanted to know his father more, but she was also a little happy about this.

"He was just like you Dory-chan, with red hair that was getting darker every year, a very kind person and someone really strong, a true hero" said the mother, recounting the aspects of Doryoku's father as if from a legend involved, making the child's eyes light up for a moment.

"Where did Otō-san go?" Little Doryoku said a little downcast at never being able to see his father.

"He's in a better place Dory-chan, but I'm sure he would tell you the next" said the mother stroking the boy's head and making him look at her curiously.

"Doryoku, be strong, do your best, and never, never forget who you are" said the boy's mother with a slightly thicker voice as he seemed moved and motivated by her words.

"I will! I will try my best and never forget who I am!" said the little boy, clenching his little fist with determination and security.

The mother looked at her son and reminded her a lot of that man who died so long ago, causing her to have a small tear of happiness and nostalgia.

"Okā-chan, how do I never forget who I am?" Little Doryoku said a little confused without understanding the end of the sentence.

The mother could only manage to laugh slightly when she saw her son confused by her words.

After finishing eating, little Doryoku and his mother cleaned the kitchen and the dishes and went to sit on the couch again to rest while they watched TV.

"{A figure that only rises in Japan, a superhero called all might, whose strength and style can captivate anyone and who may one day become a symbol to the world}" said the news serious in a serious and expectant tone while the images of a fairly strong blond man were shown.

Like all children, little Doryoku seemed very impressed by the images of the man beating up villains and smiling widely as he did so.

In the news all kinds of events happened with heroes, but one of Doryoku's favorites was a man named Gran Torino, who appeared little but was always a spectacle in his fights.

The boy's mother saw his emotion at the heroes and asked.

"Dory-chan, do you want to be a hero too? What is your dream?" asked the child's mother calmly as he looked at her and seemed to think carefully.

After almost a minute of thinking the boy said.

"I want to help you Okā-chan! So you can spend more time with me! That is my only dream!" said the little boy with confidence and determination making his mother's eyes widen in shock.

At the response of his son, his mother could only hug him tightly and cry slightly confusing the child.

"Sorry Dory-chan, sorry for not being able to spend more time with you" said the boy's mother sadly as she hugged him tightly and helplessly.

"Okā-chan always tries her best at her work, that's why I want to help so you can be here!" said little Doryoku still determined by his words.

At one point the little boy felt something wet on his cheek and realized that his mother was crying.

"Okā-chan, don't be sad I'll be back!" said the little boy and then freed himself from his mother and ran to his room quickly.

After a few seconds the boy quickly returned with a light green towel and wiped away his mother's tears quickly making her smile widely.

"Dory-chan, you are made to protect, you are a very good boy never forget it" said the boy's mother as she hugged him again and he returned the hug.

After a few minutes, they both calmed down and continued talking about animals and quietly watching television.

"Dory-chan, you should return this towel to your room, if you don't, it might get dirty or get lost" said the boy's mother with a warning tone causing him to get up and take the towel to go to his room again.

Little Doryoku slid the door of his room and went in and then put the towel on his bed and folded it carefully, and finally approached his desk.

As he opened one of the desk cabinets to place the towel there, little Doryoku heard his mother's voice.

"Dory-chan! Your favorite superhero show started!" said the boy's mother from the living room making him get upset and rush to accommodate the towel.

After putting the towel there, Doryoku jerked his arm up and hit his right elbow hard against the desk.

*Pam*

"Ugh" little Doryoku complained as he grabbed his arm and waited for the pain.

The weird thing is that the pain never came, and after a few seconds Doryoku opened his eyes confused.

Doryoku's elbow was undamaged and the pain was never present in any way.

But suddenly, Doryoku's right arm started to shake slightly and a second later...

Exploded.

And at the horrified gaze of the little boy, his arm disappeared from one moment to the next, leaving only a large amount of blood to be seen.

"Aahhhhhhhhhhh!!!" the horrified little boy yelled as he held his shoulder in pain and made his mother jump upset to run towards him.

And just a moment later, Doryoku fell unconscious due to the shock of the events.
