Sandman in MHA

Chapter 19: Chapter 18 - Ruthless Adventure



In the two months, Yuta faced various challenges. The workouts were intense, and at times, he felt overwhelmed. However, Rurumu's encouragement kept him motivated. 

He taught him that progress takes time and that consistency is key. Yuta learned to push through his limits, gradually increasing his weights and improving his endurance. He also discovered the significance of rest and recovery, which Rurumu stressed as vital for muscle growth and overall health.

As the weeks went by, Yuta began to notice significant changes in his body. His energy levels soared, and he felt stronger and more agile. 

Rurumu celebrated each milestone with him, whether it was completing an extra set of push-ups or running an additional lap on the treadmill. These small victories fueled Yuta's will, and he started to embrace the gym as a second home.

The social aspect of the gym also played a crucial role in Yuta's journey. He didn't make friends with other young gym-goers who had similar goals since he got his trust issues destroyed.

By the end of the 5 months, Yuta had transformed both physically and mentally. He had lost excess weight, gained muscle definition, increased in height and improved his overall fitness level. Rurumu's guidance had instilled in him the importance of a balanced lifestyle, which included proper nutrition and regular exercise.

Yuta's journey to fitness was not just about the physical changes; it was also about building his limit using his sand quirk. He learned how to set goals and work towards achieving them, a skill that would benefit him in all areas of life. 

As he looked in the mirror, he saw not just a fitter version of himself but a more fitted, confident and determined young man ready to take on new challenges.

Yuta devoted his 5 months to the gym as he made the right choice to build up his muscles and stamina for the challenges that awaited him. His mom was surprised at the change of appearance in her son's body since she was barely able to recognize him with his shirts off.

He had gained muscles of a man at his young age through 5 months constant torture. That was his goal since he told Rurumu that's his plan. Yuta was now desperate to face whatever the old man of Isshin prepared for him.

'Okay. Guess I'll reach out to Isshin first thing tomorrow.' He decided and went up to his bedroom to play video games. He played an online mission game for a while as he forgot to check his time and forgot to take his lunch.

"Feeling tired." He muttered to himself turning off the gaming console and checked the clock located at the top right corner of his room. "2,3,4,5,6..7….8?" He screamed at himself as he realized he gamed for 7 hours straight forgetting his lunch. 

'Hope mom's not mad at me?' He wondered as he thought about the reason for covering his ears with the connected headphones while playing the game.

He took his bath flashily and hurried downstairs seeing his mom sitting on the couch waiting for him after screaming his name for several hours. 

"Yuta, were you asleep all these while?" She asked.

'Damn it. Should I lie and say I was asleep this whole time? What if she heard my voice while I was playing the game?' He carefully selected his words and admitted the truth. "No mom. I was busy playing video games and totally forgot to check the time." He said honestly.

"I'll be taking the game controller from you for a day since you can't do what's right." The mom scolded him. "Here's your dinner. Eat up and go to bed." She ordered.

"Okay mom." Yuta said as he did before eating his delicious dinner.

He ate his fill and said his thanks before cleaning the dining table. He looked at the time again seeing it's quarter past 9 and approached his bedroom to take a rest for tomorrow's journey.

…MOM

'What inspired him to go this far?' Was the question that bothered her. She watched as her son laid on the bed sleeping like a baby as she reminisced about the olden days he was still a baby. She went over to him and covered his body from the cold while giving a good night perk on his forehead before leaving his room.

She went back to the living room and watched an entertainment show to enlighten her mood for two hours before her phone rang to her surprise.

"Hello." She spoke.

"Can I leave the exporting files to you tomorrow?" Her colleague at work said on the other end of the phone.

"Umm, I won't be available tomorrow and the next, since I'm taking my son to meet someone." She excused herself.

"Fuck shit! Then I'll have to ask Noel to help me with that." Her colleague spoke with a sad tune.

"I'm so sorry about that since I can't be of help to you." She pleaded.

"It's alright. You don't have to feel sorry for my lazy ass." Her colleague replied.

"Alright. Have a lovely night." She wished.

"Thanks. Goodnight. Her colleague ended the call.

She looked at the time seeing it was late and switched off the tv. She went to her room as he took off her clothes and filled up the bath with hot water and relaxed on it for a while exiting the bathroom and slept off.

…[THE NEXT DAY]

*Sighs*

Yuta woke up excited for his great adventure today and started his day with his morning routine of doing 50 push ups, 50 squats and 50 sit ups. 'This is getting easier everyday, maybe I'll increase the number.' He thought as he looked himself in the mirror posing like a superstar.

He took his bath and got dressed in a red hoodie and black pants. He cross checked himself a second time seeing he wasn't forgetting anything and made his way downstairs to the living room.

Yuta switched on the tv and changed the channel to an entertainment station to enjoy himself once more before embarking on his adventure. 

His mom came downstairs and greeted her son.

"Good morning, Yuta."

"Good morning, mom." He said as he turned towards his mom seeing she hadn't dressed up yet.

He was not sure why she hadn't gotten ready yet but turned his focus to the tv. His mom entered the kitchen to prepare breakfast as well as lunch for him.

"Yuta! Here's your breakfast and lunch, so do well to eat up before I'm back and stack up your lunch in your bag." She said to her son who was glued to the tv and paid no mind to him since she promised herself if he hasn't done what she told him to then she'll cancel his adventure for good.

Yuta watched the show for a while and rushed to the dining table and ate his breakfast and packed his lunch in his bag as he returned back to the couch in the living room.

She returned back, dressed in a brown suit and makeup well done. She phoned Isshin and told him they were on their way. They both exited the house into the car as she drove down to the train station. After parking her car in a certain place, she and her son boarded the train.

'What a handsome boy. I Hope I can introduce my daughter to him.' Was the thought circulating in the train as everybody turned their gaze towards Yuta who was acting like a celebrity. 

He dropped down his hoodie above his head and shaked his hair while licking his lips, turning his gaze to a young married woman who was staring at him, he winked at her which made her heart to skip a little.

Yuta noticed and kept his cool while his mom just sat there observing her son's reckless attitude. 'His he an angel sent down from heaven?' Everybody who gazed at Yuta all had the same thought as his mom dragged him and exited the train. 

"What's with that attitude of yours." His mom asked as she chuckled.

"Nothing much, mom." He spoke heavenly as he smirked.

"Whatever." She sounded defeated by the appearance of her son.

They took a taxi for about 30 minutes and walked for a while. Getting to Isshin's dojo, Yuta braced himself up to surprise his sensei and the other kids. They knocked and excused themselves inside the dojo seeing Isshin on the other end making a phone call.

"Osu!" Yuta greeted his teacher as Isshin stared dumbfoundedly at him.

"Who is this young man?" Isshin directed his gaze to his old friend of his.

"Hm? That's Yuta." She said, letting out a sigh.

"Eh?" The whole dojo exclaimed in surprise, including Isshin seeing his student whose appearance changed so much in 4 years as he imagined what kind of training he had undergone…
