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 Touynii 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 Touynii. 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 was.h.i.+ng the dishes. I went beside her.

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

"Yes, mom." I said.

Mom stopped was.h.i.+ng 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.

"I want to get stronger so that dad will not behave badly with us anymore." I said but it was just one cause. I didn't want to reveal why I would want to get stronger.

"Please mom, think it of my birthday gift." I requested her.

"Okay honey. But let me talk with your dad first." She said.

"I will train under Gran Torino. But not dad. Dad is very rude." I said.

"Okay, honey." She caressed my hair.

========================================================

That night, mom talked with dad, but he said nothing but, "Let him do what he wants. But if he doesn't get stronger, I will train him under me."

Mom gave me the permission. I was overjoyed. But the plan was half complete. I went to Gran Torino's place.

I hypnotized Gran Torino with the "Long term hypnosis" technique which I acquired from the store when Athena was present. I hypnotized him in such a way that if anyone asked him whether I was training with him or not, he would be able to convince them that I was training with him. Just in case, I opened the store from my system and gave him a fake clone of me which would exist for a limited time if anyone wanted to see me.

But Athena was still not awake even though the system came back a few days ago.

Now, I am finally able to go to Elithia. I opened my system again and said, "Open my gateway to Elithia."

Then suddenly a huge void appeared before me. Only I was sucked inside the void like a black hole. Then everything around me became dark...
