Heroic Reincarnation [Deku X Mushoku Tensei]

Part-8) A Reminder of the Past

I felt a dull blade slam into my ribs as I could have sworn I heard a Crack ring out in my ears before the pain was alleviated with a small green shimmer from my side as I felt it reattach with the other rib "Don't focus Touki into your body with intention do it without thinking and let your body naturally use it Now try again" Ludwig berated me as I continued my repetitive swinging feeling the sweat drench my tunic

I then felt Ludwig hit my back and yet I didn't feel a difference from the last hit as it hurt before healing and then another slam from the blade into the side of my thigh but this time it felt more duller as it bounced off my leg as Ludwig gave a satisfied grunt "Hm you just did it right there" He said as he tapped the sharp tip of the blade into my thigh I felt it graze along my thigh as it stopped and he pulled away

"Well this is good progress your sword skills have grown quite a bit in a short amount of time due to your patience which is quite a gift in its self I've had students before and you are by far the most patient one" He said rubbing his beard "You are done for the day Go home and rest you'll be doing spars with me tommorrrow" Ludwig said as he grabbed a mug from a table and took a swig from it as I nodded as I put the wood sword in its sheath and placed it on the table as I raised a hand and wiped the sweat from my forehead off

I turned and saw Both Velstadt and Raime looking a bit more down than usual as I walk over to them before I reach into my pocket and pull out a couple silver coins and hand them over to the brothers "Here Take some money I don't want you two to go stealing from people alright I'll give you some money if you need it just don't steal its a bad deed that never comes with happiness" Velstadt slowly took the coins from my palm and slowly gave a tiny whisper "Thank you" He said as Raime nodded along with his brother as I slowly pat both of their heads "I'll come back tommorrrow alright"

They nod once more before I left the house the dark moon lighting up my walk as I enjoyed the silence it held as I could feel an internal sigh go on "Dad" I felt my blood freeze as I turn and saw a little girl with pale blue grey hair and her red eyes and horn protruding from her head I could feel my lips move on their own "Eri?" I was in disbelief how was she here

I had forgotten that I was a father before I died I've taken in Eri after the Overhaul Incident and adopted her as my daughter "How are you here" I said as Eri Giggled and I blinked and saw that she was gone in the instant I felt a wet liquid drip down my cheek as I wiped it and saw it was a tear my tear to be specific and it hurt

I remembered her smiling for the first time it made my heart melt and it looked great on her face after everything that she's been through now I died and she has no father now I hope Aizawa Sensei is taking care of her now that I'm gone as much as it pains me to think about her I have to move on but thinking that is easier than doing so and memories of her start to appear in my mind as I got an Idea to do when I get to the manor

I make the trek there reliving memories of my past life "Hey Midobro whatcha doing after school" Kirishima yelled in his boisterous tone always made me smile As I even remember the time Kaachan Became nicer he even smiled a couple times as awakened his quirk to its full potential as I smiled with him

As I entered the Manor property and slowly made my way inside as I walked to my room wanting to do the activity I slowly pulled open a drawer and pulled out a painting board and I got canvas stand and put a canvas on the stand as I filled the board with different types of paint that I made out of different resins and pigments as I slowly forget a brush made out of tiny strings of pant fibers as I dipped my brush into a tan paint and I let my mind wonder off as I painted

Each stroke of pain covered the empty canvas Each time it went across the smooth canvas it remined me more and more of Eri and soon the painting came to a finish and it left me awestruck at what I had created but a moment of peace coursed through me at that moment like every single bit of weight that was on my shoulder was lifted off my soul was gone for a instance it felt heavenly to feel that
