Meeting People

Walking down the stairs, I see my parents sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast. Both are strong, but neither of them wanted to become a hero. Instead, they decided to be archaeologists and used their powers to search for secrets in this already crazy world.

Maybe it is better that they are not heroes like a lot of other parents, since this world is not all sunshine and rainbows. Many heroes die doing their duty, even when the media doesn't talk much about that.

Also, their job brought them together, and they seem to be happy while earning a ton of money, so everything is good. Additionally, I could see a lot of this world while traveling with them during the summer breaks.

Of course, I ask myself from time to time what my parents in my old world do, even though after appearing in this world, I don't feel anything thinking about them, and their faces start to become blurry… 

But it seems there is nothing I can do about that, and I try to not look back.

"Oh? Already awake? Is there someone nervous about the upcoming exam?" asks my loving mother teasingly while placing some fried eggs in front of me when I sit down. Her name is Yuna Sokudo, 34 years old, and she looks like she could also be a model… or tomato if she is angry.

"Nope, I'm pretty relaxed. I don't think, after training with two monsters like you, there is anything that they can throw at me that I can't handle…" I say to her while she nods proudly.

"Haha, that's my son, always cool and hurtful towards his parents!" says my father named Akira while laughing and slapping my back. He is 36 but hasn't changed much in the past 5 years.

Even if he is the comic relief most of the time, he could probably deal with most villains out there if he gets serious. This was clear when the whole house shook once when he showed me a part of the energy he could control… 

They also both have not lost any time to train me since the first training season began shortly after the bowl of ice we ate after I appeared here...

Basically, my mother made me write runes until I fell unconscious, only to repeat that after I woke up to strengthen my Quirk and teach me how to control it. Meanwhile, my father taught me how to fight and got serious after teaching me how to heal myself with energy manipulation…

"You are welcome... Anyway, aren't you two supposed to be already in Germany to search for some ancient Quirk user?" I asked them since I'm pretty sure they said they would go at the end of February there.

"How could we, dear? Of course, we will wait until you get your acceptance letter for the hero course, and only after that, we will go and dig up some mummy," says my mother, while now my father starts to nod proudly.

"It is not Hogwarts, so you two can go and do your job," I say with a shrug, since it is not rare in this world to go to a hero school. Even when the U.A. is one of the most famous ones.

"True, but it was your dream to go to the U.A., so we will stay and celebrate or cry with you after you get accepted or rejected," says Dad, giving me a thumbs up.

Well, it was the dream of the previous owner of this body, but since the most existing job in this world is being a hero, I can understand why he wanted to become one. And even when I don't know what happened to the previous boy who occupied the body, I will fulfill his wish while enjoying my time being a hero myself.

"The crying part was unnecessary, but sure I'm in when it comes to celebrating something. Maybe Mom can make Pelmeni again," I say, remembering the tasty meat-filled dumplings.

"Sure, I will prepare a Russian feast!" says Mom, now with fire in her eyes, while my Dad takes a photo of her with hearts in his eyes.

"Can't wait for that," I say while looking at my smartwatch before saying, "It's time for me to go, see you two lovebirds in a few hours."

"You placed your teleporting seals around the school to get there fast, right?" asks Mom while I nod, which makes Dad say, "Be careful that you don't get caught teleporting, or you can get in trouble."

"I know, don't worry. I placed them where no one will see them," I tell them, being aware of the Quirk restriction law that forbids using Quirks in public.

"Good, then have fun, dear," says Mom, and tries to kiss me on the cheek, but I trigger a seal next to the school and teleport away before she can while stretching out my tongue.

The scenery changes instantly, and I appear on the roof not far away from the U.A., above the seal I placed here a few weeks ago when I visited Musutafu.

Since I live in Rozaryu in the Mie Prefecture, I was happy that I could teleport here, as it would take me nearly 5 hours by train otherwise. So I would have to wake up at 4 am to get here in time for the 9.30 am exam. Also, because I can teleport around, I don't have to rent an apartment here, like a lot of other students have to in the future.

The only problem was the law like my parents mentioned already, but it should be fine as long as I'm careful or do it on U.A. ground where Quirks are allowed. Luckily, my teleportation process is not flashy, and I seem to simply blink away in an instant, so that should help me to use it without getting much attention.

Looking down on the streets below, I see a bunch of middle schoolers walking towards the U.A., so I jump down from the three-story building into a dark alley before joining the crowd.

"Huh? Keiji, is that you?" I suddenly hear a lively voice coming from behind me. Turning around, I see a pretty girl with shoulder-length brown hair running towards me while waving her hand. Hmm, she looks familiar…

She stops in front of me and notices my confused look, then says while puffing up her cheeks like a hamster, "Don't tell me you have already forgotten about me? We spent two years together in the same class until we were separated last year!"

Really? In my defense, I was kinda on autopilot in school because of the hellish training at home and the recreation of the Flying Thunder God Technique… But her face is familiar—

"Ah! Ochaco? Sorry, I kinda didn't recognize you in your outfit… and did you get a growing spurt or something like that? Because I'm pretty sure you didn't look so grown up before," I tell her honestly, as I was pretty sure she was not so curvy a year ago...

This makes her place her arms on her hips and raise her nose high in the air, before saying, "Of course I grew, I couldn't stay a child forever!"

Puberty for the win in her case it seems…

"But you seem to have grown, too. And did you work out more for the exam? Because you look really fit," she states while coming closer and poking at my biceps.

"Really?" I ask her back with raised brows, and she nods seriously. Hmm, I was kinda always trained thanks to my father, but it seems that I have really grown over the last year, which makes me look even fitter.

My height was around 5′9″ (1.75 meters) right now, and she was around 5′1″ (1.55 m), which made her look small next to me. But since my parents are both in the 6' spectrum, I will probably grow more in the future.

"Yeah, it seems I did grow a bit… But no, I did nothing extra for the exam. And you? Did you manage to overcome the nausea when using your Quirk?" I ask her as we continue to walk towards the school.

And my question seems to have hit a sensitive spot because she sighs loudly before saying somewhat sad, "No…" before making an energetic fist and saying while raising it in the air, "But it got better, and I can lift up to 3 tons without puking now."

"That's great, I guess…" I say, and she nods seriously with her hand still raised. 

If I remember correctly, her Quirk had something to do with gravity, but she never could show it without puking first, so people stopped asking her to show it…

When she noticed that people started to stare, she put her hand down and said while faking a cough, "Ahem, anyway, I'm pretty sure I can get better with the help of the U.A. teachers. That is, If I manage to join…"

Controlling gravity is kinda overpowered if she can use it right in the practical exam, so… "Don't worry about it, I'm pretty sure you can do it."

This makes her beam, and she wants to say something but suddenly notices something and turns to her right, where a guy tripped over his own feet and was about to fall. So before he kisses the ground, she touches him slightly, and he starts to float midair. 

Wait… why does this guy look so familiar? He is not from my school according to his black uniform, and I also can't remember meeting him before.

"Are you okay?" asks Ochaco, the green-haired guy who looks like he already accepted his destiny of falling on his face…

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! …" he screams suddenly after noticing that he is floating, which makes my old classmate giggle before placing him on his feet again.

… Holy shit! This is the whiny main character from this world! I recognized him immediately after he started to scream like a little girl. But I'm pretty sure he was Quirkless in the anime… So why is he here? Did he get bit by a spider or something like that to get powers?

"I stopped you with my Quirk. I'm sorry I didn't ask first, but I thought you wouldn't mind me catching you," Ochaco says while giving her friendliest smile, which looks kinda cute, making me want to pinch her cheeks fluffy cheeks…

But the MC only stares at her, so she thinks he is probably nervous and asks, "Isn't that all like way nerve-racking?" Sadly, the question gives him the rest, and he starts to mumble something unrecognizable…

Not knowing what to do now, she says, "Well, guess I'll see you inside. Bye! Come, Keiji, let's go inside! Or all places will be taken!"

I nod, and we begin to walk, while I'm still a bit dumbfounded after finding out that I have to endure the antics of a shonen protagonist probably for the rest of my life here. Man, and I wished I was transmigrated during another time, where I don't get dragged into his life…

Before entering the "H" shaped glass building or buildings, I sigh and look back towards the guy who stands there with a happy look on his face before starting laughing like a madman…

Maybe Ochaco should stay away from him… or maybe everyone should.
