(Izuku's POV)

Qing Chen came over every two weeks

It's been four months now, and I just recently learnt spirit integrate

"Izuku, come here."

"Yes master."

"The 5 elemental warriors will be having their reunion in 2 weeks, Yoh invited me, you want to join me?"

"It would be my pleasure, master."

"Great, you'll also be meeting their successors, they should be around your age."

"I understand master, I swear not to be lacking in any areas compared to them!"

"No, you dummy! I'm telling you to make friends!"

"Oh...Okay then. What about my swear though?"

"Who the hell could you be lacking to right now, with me as your master!"

"I still can't unleash a stable oversoul."

"No one unleashes an oversoul at the age of 10! You're lucky to have learnt spirit integrate with how late your education as a shaman started!"

"It wasn't that late."

"You started at the age of 8."

"It isn't really late."

"Most start the moment they're born, I was delayed slightly for reasons."

I sensed a somber tone in his voice and knew it was time to drop the topic

"I'll do as you have instructed, master."

"Just have fun, other than Luo Qing you have no other friends."

"No need to rub it in."

"You ready Izuku?"

"Yep!"

"Let's go in then!"

There were 7 men and 4 boys my age, 2 younger kids

As master Hao walked in everyone looked shocked

"Hao"?! Who's that kid?!" A silver blue hair man yelled

'Ah, he's loud..'

The long haired man raised his brow in surprise

The green haired man gave me a soft gaze

And the dark-skinned man gave me a big smile 

"Hao-nee, you made it! And this is Izuku, I assume?" a man similar to master said in an excited voice

"Nice to meet you, my name is Izuku."

"Izuku go sit there with the kids, we have some things to discuss."

I nodded and took my leave

'I'm quite nervous but I can do it..'

"Nice to meet you, I'm Izuku."

"Same here, I'm Jayden South."

"Tao Lu."

"I'm Elliot, pleased to meet you."

"You can just call me Sora.."

Sora and Tao Lu didn't talk for a while, but they slowly started opening up

Only Jayden and Tao Lu had been successful with spirit integration

Eventually Qing Chen came with Lady Tamao

"Qing'Er! How are you?"

She smiled and gave a thumbs-up

"Good, come and meet the rest Qing'Er!"

We all got along pretty well and promised to visit and spar with each other later

As we reached, home master Hao asked me

"Izuku, what would you say about me adopting you?"

"Eh..?"

He smiled and repeated his question

"What would you say about me adopting you?"

"Are you serious?!"

"Of course I am."

"Yes! I'd like for you to adopt me master!"

"Shouldn't you start learning to call me father?"

With that single comment I broke down crying on his shoulder

Maybe it was out of happiness, disbelief or my past memories

He hugged me tighter, and I drifted off to sleep with the tears drying on my face

I'll definitely become Shaman King, I will never allow you all to lose hope in me

Because you were the first to show me the kindness and affection I was starved of
