No sweat, Wolfie. This grove's our spot—totally safe here for the ritual.
Can I ask why’s it dangerous for my brother?
Alright, here's the deal. This grove is protected by some serious magic, good shit that makes sure no one fucks with us while we're doing our thing. But your brother, man, he's not ready for this level of power. It's like giving a kid a loaded gun—bad things could happen, you know?
Yeah it has happened before
looks uncertain I don't know... He really wants to be a part of this.
He is my little brother what happens to him will affect me but he just doesn’t get it and he’s the same age as me which sucks more.
Alright, listen. We gotta make sure he's safe. Let's get some more training in before the ritual. I'll show him some moves that'll help him defend himself. And if worse comes to worst, we'll figure something out together, alright?
No problemo, Wolfie. Let's hit the training grounds. We'll whip your brother into shape and have him ready for the ritual in no time. You ready to see some serious ass kicking? Hell yeah, let's do this!
Damn straight I gotcha~bends down and picks up my brother into my arms then walks over to bakugo
looks at Astarc holding his brother in his arms Damn, Wolfie, you really are a gentle giant, huh? Alright, let's get to work then. Give your brother here, I'll take care of him. extends his arms to take the brother
I hand him to him and watches as he grabs my brother
holds your brother gently, glancing down at him Hey there, little dude. Bakugo's gonna help you kick some serious ass today. You ready to learn some badass moves? Brother: looks up at Bakugo, wide-eyed Yeah, I am! Show me what you got, dude!
That’s the spirit Max!~my brother and I call each other by different names Max being his real name
Alright, Max, listen up. We're gonna start with the basics, and I'll show you some moves that'll have you kicking ass in no time. But first, let's warm up those muscles, alright? takes Max to the training grounds
watches my brother and Bakugo train
demonstrates a series of stretches and warm-up exercises Alright, Max, watch closely and follow along. These stretches are gonna get your muscles all nice and limber, ready for the action ahead. Remember, it's all about control and balance, so keep those movements slow and steady, got it? Good, now let's get those juices flowing and kick this training session off with a bang! starts the warm-up routine with Max
it took bakugo hours to teach my brother how to fight how to fight properly
pauses briefly, wiping sweat from his brow Alright, Max, you're doing great! Now it's time to move on to some advanced moves. These will really take your skills to the next level. Check this out! demonstrates a complex and impressive combat move
…thinks how I’m supposed to express myself in front of my brother
smirks and winks at Astarc Don't worry, Wolfie. I won't let Max see any of your secret identity stuff. We'll stick to good ol' combat moves here. Now, let's see if Max can handle this one. steps back and gestures for Max to try the move Come on, give it a shot, Max! Show us what you've got!
gives Bakugo a nod before turning back to my brother Alright Max let’s do this~bends down next to max as he does the move correct or not and helps him up and nods at bakugo for him to see that I’m telling my brother he did it right
claps his hands and grins Nice job, Max! You nailed it! That was a perfect execution of the move. You're really picking this up fast, kid. Keep up the good work! high-fives Max
Yep!~next move right?the three of us continue doing moves well until Nightfall
looks at the darkening sky Man, time flies when you're having fun, huh? It's getting late, Wolfie. I think we should call it a day here.
Yeah you’re right Bakugo…but honestly who knew my brother would actually have potential or get this far?!Max has always had weird reactions but I didn’t think they’d be helpful against people!
Well, you know what they say, Wolfie, everyone's got their own unique talents. And it seems like Max is no exception. He's been picking up these moves faster than I expected, that's for sure. But hey, he's your little brother, so you probably already knew he was special in his own way. grins and ruffles Max's hair playfully
Yeah that’s true but honestly I’m still amazed and to be honest still shocked he actually started training here!Especially after being here for less than an hour~~
laughs Well, Wolfie, looks like your little brother has got the whole "fancy movements" thing down pat! I can already tell he's gonna give you a run for your money in a few years.
Oh for sure…but honestly I wonder what his quirk would be?I say to Bakugo before looking at Max Hey hey Max come here for a sec~
raises an eyebrow and leans back, crossing his arms What's up, Wolfie? Need something else from me? Or did you finally figure out Max's secret quirk?
Oh no not quite Max come here please~
tilts his head slightly and smirks Alright, Wolfie, you've got my attention. What's the mystery? Is Max finally gonna reveal his secret quirk? Well, spill the beans already, Wolfie, I'm dying of suspense here!
Just come here.he looks intrigued by something coming up
Alright, alright, Wolfie. You've got me curious now. What's going on? Did Max stumble upon a new quirk or something? Come on, spill it already. I'm dying of suspense here! leans forward, eager to find out
i looked at Max and tapped his forehead before Max bumped my own forehead Perfect right~my brother bumps his forehead with mine using sign language telling Bakugo we’re twins we have the same quirk but it acts differently and because of genetics why one trait might look completely different than the other why our quirk works or doesn’t work sometimes
Whoa, hold up. Are you saying you and Max have the same quirk? That's crazy! But wait, you're saying it acts differently? How so? You've got me all confused now, Wolfie. Enlighten me, please!
Basically we both have Super Hearing…but since we’re twins it’s a lot stronger than normal…we can also sense where someone is almost or over due to the strength…but I guess in emergencies it gets clouded because of an adrenaline rush…so I have trouble hearing our scentlaughs awkwardly covering one ear remembering a incident during training where our dads sent us toobut apparently Max hasn’t gotten to that point yet since he’s younger.so he probably has his whole life while me it’s mostly dormant unless I’m trying to concentrate
whistles and shakes his head Damn, Wolfie, you really didn't tell me you two were quirk twins! That's one hell of a power you guys got there. So let me get this straight, you both have Super Hearing, but yours is stronger and can locate people, right? And Max is still developing his quirk, so he hasn't reached that level yet. Interesting...very interesting. Good thing I've got a knack for tricks, eh? I can definitely see some potential in this quirk of yours, Wolfie. With proper training, you and Max could become one hell of a tag team!
Yeah they’d probably kill us before we even touch em though but oh yea exactly…thank you Bakugo~walks home with my brother
laughs Haha, no problemo, Wolfie. It was my pleasure helping you and Max out today. Looks like you two are really making some progress with your quirk. I'm glad I could be a part of it, even if it was just for a little while. Hey, remember what I said earlier, okay? You guys keep up the good work, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need any more help or advice. And hey, don't let those quirk-haters get to you, alright? You two are pretty damn awesome. smiles warmly at Astarc and Max See ya later, Wolfie. Take care, and keep kicking ass!
Yeah we will thank you! Max says quietly before whispering something to me before walking back home we took different routes to our houses
smirks and raises his hand in a casual salute You got it, Max! Remember, always stay cool and confident. Quirk-haters are just jealous of how awesome you are, so don't let them get you down. pauses, thinking for a moment Hey, I know a great way to boost your confidence. Next time we meet, I'll show you one of my secret tricks. Trust me, it'll blow your mind! See ya, kid! waves goodbye to Max before heading off in the opposite direction
they made it home before seeing me or my brother again
after a few days of rigorous training, Bakugo meets up with Astarc and Max again Alright, Wolfie, ready for some more intense training?
A few days went past I was sitting in my room as you hear yelling downstairs and when I walked down I saw Bakugo, my brother, and our father arguing before I realized I made it obvious I understood everything they were saying. W-what’s happening!?..Dad why the yelling!?
notices Astarc's worried expression and steps forward, putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder Hey, it's okay, Wolfie. Your dad and I are just having a disagreement about your training schedule. Nothing to worry about. We're just trying to figure out the best way to help you reach your full potential. looks at Astarc's father with a determined expression Mr. Astarc, I understand your concerns, but I believe we should increase the intensity of Astarc's training. With consistent practice and the right guidance, I'm confident she'll become a pro in no time. What do you think? Mr.
