Chapter 5: Chapter 4: Guardian.
The doorbell rang outside Endeavor's private high-end apartment.
"Wow, this is really a bit beyond my expectation."
He opened the door and saw Accelerator, who came alone without any luggage.
"Is this your choice? You didn't choose All Might, but chose me, you have good taste."
"My taste doesn't need anyone to affirm."
Endeavor looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, and Accelerator naturally returned the gaze with the same intensity.
Then, Endeavor suddenly laughed out loud.
"With eyes mixed with murderous intent and madness, even among criminals, there are few guys with such fierce eyes as you, but they are all tricky objects, so what about you? Accelerator."
Endeavor's majestic face became even more terrifying. Since he had changed his hero battle suit and was wearing regular clothes, the flames burning on his body could suddenly increase with momentum. But even so, Endeavor, ordinary people would probably be trembling at this moment.
"Well, thank you for the compliment."
But Accelerator wouldn't care about these. He knew clearly that from the moment he entered the door, Endeavor had been probing him. Although it was boring, it was more in line with his temperament to respond positively for the sake of future life.
"Your eyes are also good, but I advise you not to provoke me. I have a bad temper, so this is meaningless."
"It really doesn't make sense, and it wastes a lot of unnecessary time."
"But, Accelerator, I don't care what you have experienced in the past, or what identity you are hiding. I don't care about these at all."
"But I'm telling you now, since you have chosen me now and let me be your guardian, then you have to follow my rules. If you don't follow the rules, there will naturally be punishment. Also, I'm saying the ugly words ahead. If you dare to cross the line, then I will have a reason to take action, so take care of yourself."
"If the rules are reasonable, I can accept them."
"Whether the rules are reasonable or not, there will naturally be people from the Hero Association to supervise specifically, so you can rest assured about this."
"Since I have taken over the work of being your guardian, then I must complete it efficiently and perfectly. I will never put extra emotions on things outside of work."
Accelerator recalled that the information for him to choose a guardian clearly stated that Endeavor has a wife and several children, but this apartment obviously does not have more people living together, which indirectly explains a lot of problems.
"Heh, so this is the reason why you are alone?" (Laugh)
"Do you think you are any different? You are just like me."
"You talk too much."
"Now, sit down for dinner."
"?"
The subsequent wave of Endeavor caught Accelerator off guard. Most of Endeavor's previous reactions were within Accelerator's expectations, but generally people wouldn't think so jumpy, right? And a person like Endeavor can not only cook, but also cook himself. This is not clearly explained on the information card.
After sitting down, Accelerator was about to pick up the chopsticks.
"Hey, I'm eating, okay?"
Endeavor's gaze was unprecedentedly hot, and even Accelerator couldn't stand this situation.
"I'm eating."
The main dish is tomato rice, which is represented by rice cooked in a rice cooker with tomatoes as the main ingredient. The color is bright and crystal clear, the nutritional value is also high, and the taste is surprisingly good, surpassing the family restaurants in Accelerator's previous world. He can't remember how long it has been since he had such a meal.
The salmon, fried to perfection, has a golden and crispy skin. The right amount of sea salt enhances the freshness of the salmon. While feeling the crispness on the tip of the tongue, the fish inside is still tender. It's hard to imagine that this is a masterpiece of such an uncle.
The vegetables are a mixed salad with nutrition.
The raw materials are all very fresh and you can feel the breath of nature. The salad dressing should be handmade, with a charming special taste. It is not known whether Endeavor made it himself or bought it. A few halved eggs are also added, and the nutritional match is very balanced.
The soup, of course, is Japanese miso soup.
It should be the clam slowly releasing its juice, the taste is delicious and it forms a sharp contrast with the family restaurant's obvious miso essence thickening. But having said that, no one would eat the dishes of a family restaurant in such detail.
Such amazing cuisine has changed Accelerator's view of Endeavor. Endeavor, who is sitting across from him, naturally noticed this.
"Huh, kid, don't look at me like this, I have advanced chef and nutritionist certificates."
"It's just... it hasn't been used all the time."
He doesn't seem to want to expand on his culinary skills.
Hasn't it been used all the time? This sentence once again confirmed some of Accelerator's previous views on Endeavor.
However, Accelerator rarely immersed himself in the taste of food. After all, he hadn't had such a decent meal since he came to this world. Although the taste of the golden pork chop rice was pretty good when he was staying at the police department before, it still felt a bit strange.
After the meal, Endeavor cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, put all the bowls, plates, and chopsticks into the dishwasher after rinsing them with clear water, and then said to Accelerator who was lazily lying on the sofa.
"Next, rest for ten minutes and then start preparing for battle. You better be prepared."
"???"
What is this rhythm, suddenly inviting people to have a full meal, and then suddenly provoking a fight? Are the heroes of this world so twisted? It's incomprehensible.
While Accelerator was squinting at Endeavor, Endeavor explained.
"It's not the kind of battle you imagine, it's just combat training."
"I've said it before, I won't treat children as combat opponents."
"The kind you imagine will only be when you become a real enemy, I will go all out. Otherwise, what does it look like for a hero to shoot at a child? Even if I am at least the NO2 hero, I won't do such a thing."
Combat training is indeed necessary. Regardless of whether Endeavor has the strength to fight against him, since he can rank below All Might, it will not make him too boring.
Before coming to this world, in the battle that Accelerator encountered, his combat system collapsed. He was defeated ugly by a hedgehog head who claimed to be LV0 and was pressed on the ground. That was also the first time in his life that he understood that there are no absolute winners in the world.
His combat system urgently needs to evolve, especially in close combat, which needs to be fully strengthened. Even if it cannot be called the strongest again.
But his pride as a strong man will not change. He can accept failure, but he must understand where he fell and get up from where he fell.
Combat training is just what he wants, and he is eager to see the combat methods of the heroes of this world, hoping to give him some inspiration to evolve his own combat methods.
But after starting training, Accelerator no longer has the stupid question of whether he is worthy or not.
Endeavor's so-called combat training includes daily physical and endurance training, reaction training, muscle training, daily battles, Quirk training and battles, these six major training items.
Except for the Quirk item, all other five training items do not allow the use of Quirk (ability), all rely on their own physical fitness.
Originally, for such a simple and rude method, Accelerator had a slight objection. Endeavor had been by his side and performed the same action with him.
And when Accelerator wanted to refute, he would use actions to refute one side. If one side can do an action once, Endeavor will do the same action fifty times repeatedly. Facts speak louder than words, and Accelerator is never a loser.
Accelerator sighed in his heart, Endeavor is indeed synonymous with effort, a name that suits the person.
However, Accelerator's weak body and slender muscles couldn't handle such exercise. Even if he cleverly accelerated the circulation of blood and increased the absorption rate of oxygen, improving his physical fitness to a certain extent, he still couldn't keep up with Endeavor's training, even the basic training was tough.
"Hmph, you talk a good game, but your actual skills are laughable."
"Keep going! If you can't do it, don't eat! Even rookie heroes can handle this level of training with ease! Don't you feel ashamed!"
"Shut up! I haven't even used my full strength yet!"
If it were someone else, they might think Endeavor's training is too devilish, but Accelerator doesn't feel that way, because all these exercises are for himself.
He knew very well that if his physical fitness and reaction ability had been better in the previous battle, the outcome of the battle might have been reversed. He understood that Endeavor, like him, was a person with the same pursuit deep in his heart. That's why he was so stubborn and radical about training, because they all longed to become stronger, to pursue the goal in their hearts.
In the following close combat training, without using superpowers, Accelerator didn't even touch Endeavor, and was already knocked down by Endeavor.
Endeavor looked at Accelerator, who was already sweating profusely, breathing erratically, and could only rest on the ground. He felt that there was no need to continue training Accelerator today.
After casually leaving behind some muscle-relaxing medicine and instructions for body stretching, he never looked at Accelerator again. He silently went on to complete his daily training alone, and finally left the training dojo to start his slightly late hero activities for the day.
He looks fierce, his emotions are relatively cold, and his heart seems to be bearing a heavy mental burden.
However, his perseverance and stress resistance are excellent.
Although his physical fitness is poor, his strength is weak, his Quirk is still unknown, and his combat power can be glimpsed from the video. There are many problems in terms of etiquette and thinking.
But there is no doubt that he has the potential to become a top hero. This is Endeavor's evaluation of Accelerator after today's observations.
