Kelte getting his aura unlocked at 13 makes him having that much control over his semblance make even LESS sense than before…so that’s probably a typo.

Also granted, I’m horrible at biology, but I think you are severely underestimating just how much puberty can screw over most of you physical feats prior to it. You gain a HUGE increase in mass over a short timeframe, potentially a different physique with a changed center of gravity, but more importantly, your muscles DO NOT GROW with puberty; you practically hit the reset button and have to start rebuilding you physique again. Even semblances such as ruby’s speed would be screwed over because she suddenly has a bigger and unfamiliar body to use AND most of her instincts would be calibrated to her toddler physique, a problem that would also apply to your character. And this isn’t evn taking into consideration the limits of the body and how you can only grow muscles so much before they become very hard to increase further.

I want to appreciate what rust is doing, but I can’t. If he didn’t figure this out he’s an idiot; if he DID figure this out than he effectively wasted at least 4 out of the 5 years of the kids life training him when he could have spent 4 of them trying to give him a life back and training him only when he started to grow, aka he's an intentional idiot.
