"Dad what are you doing here."
"Oh I'm a teacher that's why I'm here." As he says casually.
"Wait how long were you a teacher for." Confused because I never knew about him being a teacher hero.
"Son don't worry we can talk after I defeat you."
"Alright Mister Amako know that you're finished talking to your dad this is your test, you have to defeat him or convince him to not fight you and you pass other than that good luck."
It felt like the world just stopped realizing that I would have to fight my dad, and knowing he is a underground hero he won't hold back.
"So will you hold back right?"
"No"
And at that very moment I got punched it the stomach.
"Oh you weren't holding back dad."
"Of course not, if you want to be a hero I got to be a villain for you."
"Wait what!?"
Got punched in the face. "Come on son less talking, more fighting."
"Alright I will give you thirty seconds to run, then we will fight properly." As he smiles at me calmly, don't know whether to move or not.
"No I won't move, we are going to fight right here." As I put my fist up ready to fight my own father an Underground hero.
He smiles calmly, too calmly. "Good job son, because the moment you would have moved from that spot, you would have failed."
"Alright son first thing that form, put your fist up to your face so you can be ready to throw a punch."
Why is dad helping.
Maybe he is trying to failed me again.
With out a moment notice, I run to him, throw my fist at him.
He move to the right and I missed.
Damn it I missed that's okay I can get back from that.
As I go and try a backhand, he catches it damn it.
"Alright son you done with those missed punches."
Another punch to the face.
"Alright son you got to guard with your Aetherion, so start using your Aetherion, because it's time to get serious."
What the fight just started.
As I blink, I can't see him where did he go, I look behind me and see my shadow and realize "DAMN IT."
I try to go back but already too late, my face hits the concrete floor already feeling my head spinning.
"Is that all son what was the point of you even being here, if you can't even take a head punch.
Alright got to focus that's all, don't listen to dad and fight him like a villain, I got to think.
He disappeared again focus where would he be.
I feel the shadow in my leg try to stomp on it but nothing connected.
"Alright you adapting son, getting better with my basic attack, then let's fight for real."
We both run at each other and he starts with a left punch, I counter, with my right hand and try to punch with my left hand, he counters it with his left hand, and then head butted me.
"That's it that's what I like to see." He looks like he is starting to enjoy this.
Then I felt this huge pain in my chest, only to realized I got stabbed in my left chest close to my heart, what is dad thinking.
"Oh shoot hold on let's sto-" and he looks at where I got stabbed and realizes it healed.
It hurts the pain I felt it in my stomach feeling it being rebuilt, my bone contorting back to in shape my skin coming back making it feel like it burned while healing.
"You have healing son." As he says these words, I look at him smiling.
"Ya dad I have healing and it does not heal other just myself."
"Alright then never mind about canceling it, let's continue then."
"Yes sir." He just standing there know, then got hit in the face realizing that something else hit me, looking at my left to see a shadow just pointing at my dad area.
"Surprised son that I have a shadow."
"Ya I did not know you could do that with your Fatum."
"Actually I haven't even used my Fatum yet."
Wait he's been holding back.
"Focus son."
Alright focus he can use my shadow as a way of attack but he can create a shadow like clone of himself what can I do then.
Then I realized, I could use my Aetherion as a light source, as I release my Aetherion, only to realized that my body cannot handle the pain my Aetherion caused.
Damn it I forgot my Aetherion rejects me I need to take the pain head on till then.
"Finally you are using your Aetherion, show me what your Aetherion can do son.
I can feel the pain not as bad as last time since I am using a little bit instead of letting it all out in one burst.
I run back, to get some space from me and dad so I can think instead of going head on.
"Oh we running away, fine I wouldn't mind playing a little bit of hide and seek son."
Good he think this is a game, I can find some material to fight back with.
I look around searching for something then see it some pipes I can use to counter him when we fight instead of going head first.
"Found you." As he throws a punch and I counter his punch with the pipe.
"Good using your environment as your weapon rather than your fist that is very good son, but let's see how long that last."
We start clashing I am on defense rather than on offense trying to find an opening to his attack.
As we keep clashing he seems to be slowing down, and as I see this opportunity to attack.
He counters that opportunity with a punch to my stomach again.
"Damn it" as I try to get my breathing in check
"That's a good ones on you saw the opening, but here's the difference between you and me, I have more experience than you and you leave everything open so it's easier to counter you."
"Alright I think that's all."
"What"
"You clearly show you can't fight no more."
But I can I just need to get up.
I feel it again my Aetherion acting up, why is it doing it again it hurts so much.
The pain, it feels worse than last time it feels like my body is ready to explode at any moment, my breathing just hurts at this point.
"Hey there."
That voice it can't be.
"How are you doing it seems like your dream is ending isn't it all that hard work, those dream of you winning, what does it get you nothing instead it gets you defeat so why not give up and just look at your sister being better than you."
Shut up.
"Come on your father is telling you that you aren't worth being in the school so give up."
Shut up.
"How about you give up and stop dreaming of being a hero and just let the rest of your family be hero huh how about THAT."
Shut up
"You know what, how about instead you just let all your bully get the spot that you want so bad HUH THAN MAYBE YOU CAN BE MORE IN YOUR SELF PITY TRYING TO GET ATTENTION FROM YOUR DEAR MOMMY, AND DADDY, OR BETTER YET HOW ABOUT YOUR SISTER."
I SAID SHUT UP
"What son?"
"How about you shut up and let me deal with my own problem instead of you making fun of me I am still up and ready, waiting to fight."
As I feel all my bone in my body breaking while healing reminding me that my body is still in pain.
"How about you just let me defeat him on my own because I will be a hero, I won't be someone who relies solely on my parents or anyone for me to be a hero."
As I look at the shadows only to see my father looking shock.
"Son I don't know where this determination come from but IM STARTING TO LIKE IT."
As blood starts coming out of my eye.
"Son your eyes is bleeding blood right know we need to end this match know."
"NO WE WONT WERE GOING TO FIGHT TILL THE END."
As my father stops what he is doing and looks at me coldly.
"Are you sure because I will make sure you will no longer be a hero if you lose."
"I have never been so sure in my entire life up till now"
"So be it"
We both run up to each other clashing fists until we bleed but unlike my father I heal these wounds, and I adapt to his fist.
"Wow it looks like you aren't even bleeding, HAHAHA."
I don't say anything and keep going till.
Another stab in my body multiple but I ignore that pain and keep going my own will power alone making me fight at this point.
Then the hit that did, it my father goes down.
"Damn you win."
"What?" As I look at him shocked.
"One of the conditions that were required, if you were to make it into the hero program is if you can make any off the staff go on their knees, of course there were more but that was one of the main requirements to pass this special exam and you had passed, good job son."
As I realized I had won I go one my knee from all the pain that I had endured from this fight.
"Good job son, I knew you could do it, that is how a hero fights, that's how most go in there early career.."
"Let me get this victory without the speech, that can be for later."
"Alright."
As I pass out with a smile.
"So what do you think principal." As a female voice asked
"I think there is potential in there like all our young hero we have in the program, and like his father and the rest of the student.
