- Chapter 8 -

After your talk with Melissa, you ultimately decided not to go back to sleep. Your call with her ended at 5 in the morning, and you were supposed to wake up in an hour anyway, plus today is a big day.

Today is your "field trip" to the USJ.

You did your normal morning routine, which included taking a shower and basic hygiene, bandaging scars, dressing into your uniform, eating breakfast with All Might which included some awkward small talk, and finally walking to school.

However All Might had the grand idea to do some pointless and baseless heroism and save a few people around Musutafu today, so you had to walk alone this time. Which you were complaining content with, you enjoyed the feeling of being alone and focusing solely on your music rather than the world around you.

It was one way you utilized escapism to, at least for a moment, disassociate from the world and it's problems, and ground yourself to appreciate the little things most don't tend to dwell on.

Things you don't notice at first glance, such as the brightness of your halo, which symbolized the intensity of the sun's rays and the amount of energy your storing. Or how this time you were the only one on the sidewalk towards U.A, or the music this time was perfectly shuffled, therefore you didn't bother to skip any of the songs.

For such a peaceful day, it really does suck that it's going to be ruined by the events that'll occur later on. But there's nothing I can do, I'll simply have to protect everyone when the time comes.

And now that I think about it... All Might will be late due to his idiocy in deciding to be a hero today. So that means for a long while the main enemy will be open and vulnerable.

You smirked to yourself, imagining the events you conjured acting out perfectly in your mind.

I'll make sure that those villains will hesitate before targeting my classmates again. I'll be the protector and symbol of strength for them, hopefully that will switch up this timeline a bit. After all...

I know everything that will happen at a play by play, I just can't act suspicious... easy enough I suppose.

You arrived at U.A, a couple of your classmates called to you, and you turned around to see who it was.

It was Kirishima, Kaminari, and... Bakugo? Well Bakugo wasn't exactly running towards you, but rather trailing behind the other two with disdain on his face, growling with each step.

"Hey, Kirigaya! How are you doing-"

Kirishima paused, noticing the halo that floated over your head, and you could feel his curiosity beginning to rise.

"Woah, what is that thing over your head? It looks like a... halo?"

You simply nodded and hummed in agreement, and began to oversimplify its purpose and its abilities.

"It's a part of my quirk, whenever I'm in direct sunlight this halo appears. My quirk and basically my well being heavily depends on solar energy, so you could consider its functions similar to a solar panel."

His eyes widened in awe, he was amazed at its specifics. He could simply harden himself, nothing more nothing less, very simple. However your quirk was complicated and complex and had intricate as well as various functions, he wondered if all American students' quirks worked like that.

"So, wait, then what do you use the solar energy stuff for? Do you make like sun blasts or something?"

"No." You deadpanned, showing little to no change of expression.
