[Chapter Thirty]

"Hey, Y/n, are you still as flexible as you were before?"

I looked over at Jonah as I lifted my shirt, wiping the sweat from my forehead. "I dunno. Why?"

"C'mere," He said, waving me over. "Try and do a handstand."

"Shit, Jojo, I don't know if I can do that," I mumbled.

"I'll stand behind you. Just try it," He replied.

I sighed. I bent forward, placing my palms on the ground as I kicked up. Jonah grabbed my ankles, straightening my legs as he walked to my side, making sure that my body was perfectly straight.

"There ya go," He smiled. "Hold that for a moment."

I fixed my hands on the mat. "What am I doing this for? I thought we were doing stuff to build strength in my leg?"

In our world, Jonah had been a physcial therapist. One of the best, actually. Despite how much of a brute as he acted, Jonah was actually pretty smart. All of my siblings were really.

Katsuki and the rest of my class were currently too busy bouncing between their school work and doing their hero studies to help me out in training. I didn't want to bother them much about it because I knew that they had more things to worry about. So I turned to my brother for help.

I grunted in surprise when I felt a sudden weight placed on my feet. I faltered, making Jonah grab my calf to steady me.

"What the hell?" I asked.

"Strength building," He said, walking around me. "Plus, we're gonna have a competition."

"A competition?" I huffed.

Jonah pushed off his feet, steadying himself on his hands across me from. He shot me a grin and he lowered himself onto his forearms.

"There's a two kilogram weight on your feet," He said. "I have four kilogram weights on both of my ankles. Whoever drops first owes the other one a steak dinner."

"This isn't fair," I muttered, adjusting my hands.

"I'd say it is," He hummed in response. "Don't tell me you already wanna back out? We just started!"

"I'm not backing out!" I said. "I used to be really strong y'know!"

"Well, being in a four month coma and having a stroke really tends to take that away from you," Jonah replied. "If it's too much, we can take the weight off."

"I can handle it," I mumbled. "I'm fine."

"So where's Katsuki?" Jonah asked, fixing his shoulders. "Been awhile since we heard from him."
