17 End of Frustation (1/2)

Enji Todoroki was frustrated a lot after Touya-nii got missing. He became more angry and violent at home and at workplace.

I was not able to dissolve my hatred towards Endeavor. I was getting mad at him every second because of his treatment towards his own family.

I didn't get sadder because I knew that Touya-nii was going to become Dabi and leave home one day. But after I spent so many months with him, I could not help but miss him.

One night, I was getting too much sad and lonely thinking about Touya-nii. But suddenly I remembered what he said to me before.

”Get strong.” That was what he said when I saw him last time. All these days, I was doing nothing but being a frustrated stupid person. But now I remembered that my third birthday was coming up. Suddenly, I got very excited.

I was not excited about the cake, nor the present but being able to enter Elithia. I was not able to do anything until now. I was weak. But now, I got the opportunity to become stronger.

I was getting much more exciting day by day until at last, it was the night before my birthday. I was not able to sleep the whole night out of excitement. The next day, dad was not home because of an emergency work. This was a very good news because he would not be able to ruin the mood of my birthday.

I cut the cake with my mother and siblings. I ate a little bit of the cake. But now was the real deal. After the celebration of my birthday, mom was washing the dishes. I went beside her.

”Do you want anything, Shoto?” she asked.

”Yes, mom.” I said.

Mom stopped washing dishes and looked at me with a very warm look.

”Mom, I want to go to train in a hero's custody.” I lied.

”Oh! You want to get stronger my little Shoto? Who is the hero you want to study under?” she thought that it was a joke.

”His name is Gran Torino.” I lied again.

Rei was really shocked to hear that name. She was wondering how Shoto came to know of his name. But now she was serious because she knew that Shoto was serious.

”Why do you want to get strong all of a sudden?” asked mom.
