3 Epic Glassic Quirk

...

"Ne, ne, Suzaku-Kun, do you want to play with us?"

"... Well... -Sigh...- Okay... What are we playing?"

"Heroes and villains! And since you have the weakest quirk, you will be the hostage!"

"... Why am I not surprised...?"

"What?"

"Nothing... -Sigh...- So be it"

Scratching the back of my head with an indifferent expression, I walked towards the group of kids from my class and started playing with them.

A lot has happened since I arrived in this world. By now, six years had passed since I got to know about the existence of heroes and villains. And let me tell you, it made me go into deep thinking for quite a few days.

I mean, there were a lot of things that I had to process with just that little piece of information. Like, for example, the existence of Quirks, or as I like to call them, superpowers.

From one minute to another, I got to discover that superpowers existed and that almost every human had one!

Even my parents!

Though, compared to the monstrous guys out there, theirs weren't anything spectacular.

However, even then, they were still amazing from the perspective of the normal human that I was inside.

There was also the matter of the multiverse theory now being a pretty certain thing... After all, I was not from this world, but from another one.

That was literally like our God Amongus directly yelling at me: "The multiverse is REAL!"

Amen.

It also made me ponder if other "Earths" existed as well.

Like, one with an apocalypse? Or one where no uh... paperclips exist?

The possibilities were infinite!

And talking about that, there was a certain matter with this world that left me a little perplexed... that being the fact that this world felt slightly familiar as if I had seen it before.

It had been a tad hard for me to recognize it at first, as I had barely watched one season and several years ago at that... However, the unique setting was still somewhat ingrained in my memory.

And the fact that there was a muscular guy with blond hair out there calling himself the Symbol of Peace also helped to remember it.

'My Hero school... Or something like that... This world is the same as that Anime... Or very similar at least...'

It was quite a shocking fact when I remembered it.

I was a bit skeptical at first and rapidly tried to find anything different from what I could remember from the Anime. Not believing that I was now living in a fucking Anime.

But no matter where I looked, there was nothing like that. Or at the very least, there was nothing different from the little to nothing that I remembered about the series.

Because of that, I soon became aware of this world as a work of fiction... Or just a big coincidence in the immensity of the multiverse that turned out exactly the same as a work of fiction from my original world.

Nothing was certain now that I knew that the Multiverse was real, after all...

Which one of those answers was the real one, I didn't know. However, knowing that I was living now in a world that was once fiction, that the real God was always Amongus, and that the laws of physics had been thrown out of the window with superpowers existing now... Well, it became quite a shock for me...

However, after a while, I felt like it was not worth thinking about it anymore.

I was a normal guy, for fuck's sake. Not some philosopher obsessed with knowing the meaning of life and the secrets of the universe. At most, the only thing I wanted to know was the winning number of the lottery.

Why should I care if my current situation made any sense at all? Either way, sense has been thrown out of the window long ago!

And besides, considering all that I mentioned before, there was now a much more important matter at hand...

I had a quirk as well!

Amazing right? It seemed that fortunately fortunately for me, I had not brought the normalness from my previous life with me and I had managed to get a superpower!

Though, it wasn't an amazing quirk if one looked at it objectively.

No, it was more like the type of joke you would tell your friend if he asked you "If you could have a power, what would it be?"

-Sigh...-

Alright, let's be realistic here... It was pretty pathetic.

But hey, at least it was something.

My Quirk was called "Glasses", and as surprising as it may sound to any of you... It allowed me to create glasses in front of my eyes.

Like, just plain normal glasses. No night-vision glasses, no X-ray glasses (Sadly), No Nuke-launching glasses, no... Just glasses made of some kind of biomaterial that worked exactly like glass, and that allowed me to see slightly better.

That was it.

I could control somewhat what shape and color they would have, but that was it.

I couldn't even take them out, as they seemed to sprout from the sides of my head, and they seemed to be stuck there.

Almost as if they were part of my body.

The only way for my eyes to be free from glasses would be if someone or something broke them.

Though, even then, they only needed a week or so to regenerate automatically.

So having no glasses was not an option. Even though I was completely fine without them.

My parents also had vision-related Quirks. My father, for example, had a quirk that allowed him to receive and process information through his eyes relatively faster. Making him rather good at reading, or at similar tasks that made him use his eyes. However, it wasn't to the point of making him a super-monstrous guy. No, it was just a tad faster than normal people.

My mother, on the other hand, had a Quirk that allowed her to perceive an aura around people that had to do with their personality, and whether they were bad people or not.

As far as she had told me, bad people had a dark-reddish color around them, while good people tended to have a pale green aura around them. There were also other types of colors, depending on the person's personality. However, they were too varied for me to explain them all.

It was quite a good Quirk when it came to knowing who had bad intentions, or who did not. Though, of course, it had a few weaknesses here and there. Nevertheless, it still worked pretty well despite them.

Comparing it to theirs, It was quite sad that all my Quirk did was allow me to have an infinite supply of glasses for myself that I could change in shape and color. Even worse when I actually didn't need them because my sight was good at the moment!

But whatever, at the very least if my vision got shitty later I wouldn't need to pay for glasses. Which was good considering how expensive those things are...

A superpower was a superpower, and as a previous non-superhuman, I wasn't going to be the one to complain.

It wasn't like it was that bad of a Quirk either.

… Not completely.

"Oi, Suzaku, what are you spacing out for? You have to scream for help. You are the hostage, remember?"

"Ah, right... Sorry, I was thinking about something"

Anyway, despite that, my life has been pretty much normal until now... It seemed as if, despite my worries in the beginning, my life wasn't going to be as troublesome as I had thought.

Maybe our God and savior Impostor had simply blessed me with a new life because he found my growing insanity back there in the afterlife funny?

Honestly, I had no idea… But in any case, Amen.

"Come on, let's run away from the villain!"

""Ohhh!!""

"Muahaha, you heroes won't escape. I'll be taking this hostage away, along with all of your lives!"

Though, there was one small thingy that, well... err... Let's just say wasn't so normal about this new life of mine.

"The villain is... -Huff-... catching up to us... Huh?"

"O-oi, Suzaku, w-wait... -Pant, pant-"

"H-how is he running so fast...?"

"He already left us behind..."

"Ah, sorry guys..."

... And that was that, for some strange reason, my physique was far better than my peers.

It wasn't to the point of calling me slightly more athletic than them anymore. No, It was to the point that my body would be almost comparable to that of a teenager when it came to physical prowess, even when I was just six years old!... And I didn't understand why.

I mean, I hadn't trained it or anything. I was as lazy as just any other kid could be... Maybe even more than them.

And yet, my body was far better than theirs.

Of course, it still couldn't compare to some kids with good strengthening Quirks or anything like that. However, when comparing it to kids with normal bodies like me, it was to the point where it wouldn't be strange if someone thought I had a strengthening Quirk.

"You are amazing Suzuki-Kun... You can run so fast"

"It's not fair, Suzaku shouldn't be able to run so fast, he is the hostage!"

"Yeah, yeah. And besides, wasn't your Quirk to create glasses? How did you run so fast? Did you lie to us about your Quirk?"

"No, my father is just good at running"

"Oh, that makes sense"

'... No, it doesn't. But whatever… if it works don't touch it'

In fact, that kind of misunderstanding happened more often than I would like... But as far as I was told, my physical prowess was nothing more than my body being better than that of the others, and no additional effect of my quirk whatsoever... As weird as that might sound.

But well, if the doctor said so, who am I to doubt him? There's no way a doctor would lie to me.

And besides, this was a whole other world, right? It probably wasn't something that strange here.

I bet there are other strong guys like me out there, right?

... Right?

"Come on, let's continue playing!!"

""Ohhh!!""

"Oh..."

Anyway, leaving that aside, there wasn't anything else that would be called weird in this life of mine.

And hopefully, it would continue staying like that...

Yeah... hopefully.

-To be continued...-
