Third person POV:

???: Stop that! You are being disrespectful to the teacher!

It's an eventful day at school today, a pro hero has come to the school to give a speech about what it's like being a hero. The entire class is fascinated by the hero, hanging onto every word he says. Well, almost.

???: Oh, sorry Tenya, I wasn't listening. What did you say?

A young boy was currently focused on a book he was reading, while another one with glasses on his face was telling him off. The two boys where Hikari Kizaru, and Tenya Lida. This is them during their younger years.

Lida: (Air chopping) I said stop that! This hero has taken the time out of his schedule to come to our school and share his experiences with us. Shouldn't we give him the respect that he deserves and listen to what he has to say?

Hikari: Doesn't your brother tell you everything he does during his patrols?

Lida: Yes he does, but that is besides that point! He is here to tell us what he does, so we should listen! Something you seem to never do when I'm talking!

Hikari: Hm? Sorry, I was reading drawing again. What were you saying?

Lida: See? You're just proving my point!

Hero: Hey kid, could you quiet down back there? You're disrupting my talk.

Lida: (Shocked) So I am! I am sorry, I was reprimanding my friend over here for not paying attention to you. It's just that you have taken the time out of your schedule as a hero, so I thought it would be right to get him to listen, I apologise deeply!

Hero: It's fine, just don't do it again. And other kid, pay attention next time, you're distracting your friend over here.

Hikari: Okay sir.

Hero: As I was saying, my battle with this villain was a difficult one! He could turn himself into a wolf, a dangerous predator of the wilds! He would do his best to overpower me, but he was no match for my strength quirk, I can lift cars with it after all, so the Big Bad Wolf was no trouble.

The class is hooked on his words, talking with each other about his story. One of the students puts up their hand.

Hero: Yes, kid down the side. What's your question? Maybe you'd like an autograph?

Student: No, I wanted to ask do you think I could become a hero? My quirk only lets me launch objects from my hands, so I don't think it's strong enough to be a hero.

Hero: Well, not with an attitude like that you can't be one! How a person uses a quirk is unique to everyone, and with training, you can push your quirk to the limits! If you train yours enough, it might grow to be as strong as a real gun. 

He point to the entire class as he does a hero stance.

Hero: With enough hard work, you can get your quirk to do what you need it to! And someday, you might even be able to use it to become a true hero, just like me.

Everyone seems to get excited by the heroes words.

Student: But what if you don't have a quirk?

Hero: Oh. Well, it's probably best to think of something else to do then. The world's a dangerous place, it's best not to try to chase something unattainable, otherwise you just set yourself up for failure.
