"I Reincarnated in Boku no Hero but They Forgot to Give Me a System"

Chapter 35 — Intense Routine and Training with the Guardians

It had been a month since Aoi had the idea of creating his own artificial intelligence, and he had finally completed its initial version. Now, with Morgan assisting him, he no longer needed to waste time on repetitive tasks in his routine, giving him the space to focus on other things.

Every morning began with intense physical training alongside Mirko, Nemuri, and Ryuko.

Mirko, bouncing around him with her usual explosive energy, gave him a challenging smile.

— "You still owe me some punches, Aoi! If you want to protect the people you love, you'd better learn how to hit hard!"

Aoi dodged her kicks, focusing his energy into his Haki to observe her movements. He took advantage of his aerial mobility to fly upward, then dove down with a barrage of quick kicks from above.

Mirko defended herself with ease, her feet moving like lightning as she blocked and counterattacked.

— "That's more like it," she said, smiling as their legs clashed midair. "You're starting to get the hang of it. But you've still got a long way to go if you want to beat me."

She spun and landed a powerful kick to Aoi's chest, sending him flying through several trees. He quickly got back on his feet and returned to exchanging punches and kicks with Mirko at high speed.

Two hours later, it was time for his control training, led by Nemuri.

Midnight, with her usual seductive charm, adjusted Aoi's posture from behind as she whispered:

— "Ah, Aoi… You need more finesse, not just brute strength. Want me to teach you some tricks to keep your cool in battle?"

She then lightly activated her Quirk, testing his focus. Trapped in her grip, Aoi had to fight off the effects of drowsiness while keeping his eyes sharp.

— "Don't fall asleep… stay focused… stay in control… I need to focus… I can't let myself doze off…" he muttered to himself, sweat dripping down his forehead.

This wasn't a physical battle like with Mirko — it was also a test of mental strength and persistence. After another hour of training with Midnight, he moved on to the next session.

This time, it was Ryuko's turn.

With a calm but firm voice, she stood in front of Aoi with her arms crossed.

— "Without technique, even the strongest muscle won't last. Today's lesson is defense. Watch my movements — try to copy everything I do."

Aoi nodded and began to mimic her steps, posture, and defensive techniques. With each motion, he improved his stance, control, and breathing. Ryuko's style was clean and precise — perfect for enhancing his body awareness.

Day after day, the training continued — exhausting, but rewarding.

And when the morning training ended, Aoi's day was only just beginning.

In the afternoons, he dedicated himself to studying biology, genetics, and potion preparation. He refined regeneration formulas, analyzed samples, tested cellular reactions — each step bringing him closer to perfecting the elixirs he dreamed of delivering to the world.

Meanwhile, his mother worked tirelessly in the company office, acquiring state-of-the-art equipment, signing new partnerships, and managing the business side of Todoroki Industries.

But even that wasn't the end.

At night, while the three heroines rested or went on patrol, Aoi would sit at his bright desk, eyes fixed on his high-end monitor, studying programming languages and AI structures to further improve Morgan — until she could handle multiple projects, freeing up even more of his time.

Lines of code filled the screen. His mind, though tired, was sharper than ever.

During a short break, he grabbed his phone and sent a message to Mina:

Aoi:

"Hey, Mina. How are things over there? Sorry I haven't called much lately — I've been super busy with all my work."

Mina:

"Aoi! It's all good. But wow, that's amazing! I want to hear everything! I saw your interview on TV! You're super famous now!"

Aoi:

"Haha, yeah... It's been good, but also kind of annoying. It's harder to go out now that people recognize me. But I'm focusing on another project, and when I finish it, I'll have more time for us to talk."

Mina:

"You're such a genius! If you ever need help, count on me! I'm here for you, friend! And don't forget — when you have time, let's go out and have some fun!"

He smiled at the screen, then switched apps and sent a message to Ochako.

Aoi:

"Hey, Ochako. How are you? Thanks for the gift basket you sent me after the interview. Sorry I didn't thank you sooner — I didn't have time back then."

Ochako:

"Aoi… I'm happy I could help. After everything you've done for my family, it's the least I could do for you."

Aoi looked at the message and replied with a simple good night.

That night, after yet another brutal training session, Mirko walked beside him with a slight smile, stretching her shoulders.

— "You're getting stronger, kid. If you keep this up, it's just a matter of time before you surpass us. But don't think I'll make it easy — I'm getting stronger too."

Aoi glanced at her excited face, her rabbit ears twitching enthusiastically. He then asked with a smile:

— "Can I pet them?"

Mirko looked at Aoi, then gave him a quick kick that sent him sliding back.

— "When you beat me, I'll let you."

Aoi got back up and said with determination:

— "Then you'd better wait for it — I'll definitely pet those ears someday."

Nemuri, staggering beside them, added in a teasing tone:

— "What do we have here? Could it be that our little Aoi couldn't resist the charm of our feisty bunny? Should I be worried I'll be his next target?" she said in a clearly playful voice.

Ryuko, always serious, followed behind and commented:

— "Calm down, Midnight. Aoi's growing up. It's only natural for him to start showing interest in girls."

Aoi looked at both Midnight and Ryuko with a weak smile and said:

— "I appreciate the understanding... but can you two not talk about me like I'm not here? I'm literally hearing everything."
