Chapter 8 - Chapter 7: Thoughts outside the box

The months passed quickly until there were only two months left to take the UA entrance exam, not very interesting things have happened all this time, leaving aside the multiple news of heroes and villains, I was able to see the report where the incident of the sludge villain was described and even one where they talked about the debut of mount lady.

The report is not very interesting for the most part, the eight months that passed were mostly spent in my free time reading books and trying out designs for my hero costume.

The study group with Yui and Reiko ended up taking about two hours the first five days of the week, although after that we met on the weekends to relax from all the training routine we put together to take the written exam.

The physical training process that I was able to develop was mostly about training every morning with a three-hour training regimen with cardio and stretching exercises, as well as starting to train some gymnastics and parkour exercises in a specialized place that my parents paid for after listening to my request to prepare for UA.

Training in gymnastics helped me greatly to perform maneuvers that were previously difficult for me, although I am still a bit clumsy in the most complicated movements. In addition, parkour is a plus for my training, since in the hero profession it is sometimes necessary to move through complex places and as I remember in the original series, training was taken for these situations, leaving me only getting ahead of the facts.

The most important part of my training is done at night to train my quirk in nature change control and its basic application, although I take a day of the weekend to experiment with new applications and try new things that I then refine the rest of the week.

The greatest progress is in the basic application of the sand of dreams, since the energy consumption is the lowest in three of my possible developments and its refinement is the fastest, which leaves me more prepared if I only want to have this method for the exam, but it is necessary to continue training to make my adaptation to multiple fields easier.

The dream sand in its original form may actually look like gold, but from what I remember, my quirk tests mentioned that it had a high resistance to temperature changes and a rare ability to absorb the impact of various phenomena.

In short, it is that normally the greatest capabilities would be defense and support, because its focus on these two areas would have to take into account the other method with a more offensive focus in the first place, because, although the sand could be used well for the offense, it is impossible with my current energy reserves, since a massive production and control of sand would leave me without reserves in a few minutes.

The change of form turned out to be a little more complex, due to the skyrocketing energy consumption that limited me to the ideas that I could achieve, although its greatest limit is the applications that I can give it because the alteration of various types generates a ridiculous consumption of energy.

-Let's see - I said while summoning a small amount of sand in my hand while channeling its alteration - think about the object, remember its shape and its materials.

The sand slowly transformed into a simple katana letting me feel it as if it were a real one, I tested its cut with a tatami that I had previously tested with a real katana, although the sword finally generated a perfect cut imitating the real one.

-Changing the nature of sand is really difficult - I said as the sand returned to its original form and disappeared from my hand - first projecting an image and then correctly channeling its nature to the sand is a process that if not done correctly will not generate any good materialization of the desired object.

-Although my reserves are growing faster than before with my practice it will take some time for me to be able to make a massive attack using any of the methods I usually train - I said analyzing which simple techniques could generate a good effect of my skills - Garden of Eden is without a doubt my hidden card, but it can't be my only solution.

-My normal techniques like eight-pointed pyramid are still incomplete, I feel that I'm still missing something - I said analyzing my possibilities.

I suddenly remembered a scene that I got watching one of Reiko's dreams when we had just watched an anime, in the dream one of the recreations used a kind of magic that appeared in the anime.

-That was not having to think about the mold - I said while feeling a new brainstorm popping into my head - my quirk is not the recreation of reality or creation of matter.

-My quirk is the materialization of dreams - I said remembering the nature of my quirk and thinking how I could do it - I need to find more abstract ways to think about applying my quirk and not just recreate the appearance of fantastic elements but recreate their abilities.

After that I started trying to test the last two months in imitating the effects of some series that I remembered, although with few results, but unfortunately I wanted to continue this path of progress I had to limit myself due to the proximity of the UA exam, so I only made a few more attempts before trying to continue with another path.
