The worst part of forcing your body and quirks is not the pain when you are doing it. It's the pain the next morning.
You felt your body starting to ache even before your consciousness returned fully. Little bruises you didn't realize you had started to make themselves known to you in the worst way. Your muscles unwilling to move without forcing them to. Your head throbbing with pain, you don't drink, but this is probably how a hangover feels… It always happens after using your telekinesis too much, and you used it a lot in the exam.
Yeah, today was going to be one of those days. You almost want to lay in bed and just skip it, wake up in 24 hours with all the pain gone… But you know it will get better as the day passes, and you have stuff to do. Probably.
For now the thing you have to do is to get out of bed. That's a good first step… And have some breakfast, some actual food. That's step too. Better start doing things before you reach step forty or something.
You start moving with a groan and start getting ready, thinking about what to do after you painfully drag yourself to the shower.
The entrance exam is done. That means you don't have anything to do on that front but wait for… two weeks? Yeah, two weeks until the results arrive and then two more until classes start. You can't do anything about the exam now so you will take these two weeks to train… Or maybe hang out with your new friends? That's kind of training for you. Spending time with Shirohime isn't making you stronger anymore, but doing it with new friends always gave results pretty quickly. You can feel you could be closer to Shirohime, there is more potential there, but it's not easy. How can you be more than best friends with her?
An idea comes to your mind, but you blush and dismiss it. You don't actually need THAT to be more than best friends. You are not rejecting that chance forever, but it's not the only way… Maybe you could read a book on psychology? About relationships and stuff. Or one about how to make friends. Sounds really dumb but who knows, it might actually give you insight on your quirk.
More options… Well, you already thought about training, but you could train with someone. Training with a new friend is one of the best ways of getting closer to someone quickly. A bit less effective than spending time with them normally, but it could work for new friends… And more importantly, you can train better if you train with someone. You are not the strongest guy around, so training your body with Shirohime or a new friend will work. Maybe not Haruka, something tells you she is even weaker than you… But she is probably smarter, and your body is not the only thing that needs training. Maybe you could—
Knocks on the door. A slight feeling of annoyance coming from behind the door to the bathroom. It feels like your little sister.
"Daiki-nii, are you done? You are taking forever!" She says from the other side of the door. Oh, yeah, she is annoyed. You got lost in thought and the warm water makes the pain go away… It's probably been almost half an hour.
"Almost done!" You shout back and start to dry yourself once you step out of the shower. It's weird, it's only 9am. What is she doing awake? It's too late for her to go to school but also too early to be awake.
Once you leave the bathroom, she goes inside quickly. You can ask her later. For now… breakfast!
⁂
"Oh, I expected you to sleep until noon." Tatsuko, your big sister, said, getting breakfast ready. She was wearing pajamas, so she probably was free today. That's good, she is always doing hero stuff lately.
"Everything hurts, but I can't just stay in bed forever if I want to be a hero." You say with confidence, almost not groaning as you sit down at the table trying to look strong. You are not too convincing.
"You don't even know if you passed yet." She says, seems dismissive but you can see her smile as she finishes breakfast. Once that's done, Tatsuko serves breakfast. You both wait for your little sister while talking about your exam the day before. She seems impressed when you tell her what you did, but somehow you can feel constant amusement talking about that topic. She is hiding something.
Once your little sister arrives, you all start to eat breakfast. As you do, you plan your week.
You can plan what to do this week. It will be done without another vote unless something happens or there is a decision to make. You have 4 action points to spend and each action cost 1 point. You can pick an action more than once.
[] Training alone (What? You can train a stat, your quirk or a something else.)
[] Training with someone (What? Who?)
[] Spend time with someone (Who?)
[] Walk around the city, explore (Random encounter.)
[] Work (Find a temporary job for a week. Gives +1 funds. Currently: 1 funds)
[] Shop for stuff (You can go shop for stuff to use. You might buy anything that can be bought legally. Most stuff costs 1 funds to buy. You can buy stuff to increase your training, combat or even gifts to increase Relationship score more easily.)
[] Other? (Write in. Might take more than one action.
