⚡Hayame's POV⚡

→⚡⚡⚡ ←

 I was pretty smart, not prodigy smart, actually I am a musical prodigy, but not school prodigy, I'm still smart regardless.

I got my quirk when I was 3, oddly enough.
I was playing with my  brother, Yo, and as I was running, I zoomed past him and ran headfirst into a wall, my knee also hit an outlet in the wall and I caused a blackout in my house. Yep, that's how I discovered my incredible speed.
It was like my body couldn't keep up with my newfound power, and I ended up crashing into a wall with an embarrassing thud.

With great power comes the huge need to eat 25,000 calories a day. My power derives from energy, and as I got further into school, I learned about photosynthesis.
It sparked an idea. I needed energy, and what bigger energy source than the sun itself? I began working tirelessly to develop the ability to absorb solar energy.
This helped lower down the amount of calories I needed to consume to 15,000 which was great. It helped not make my parents go bankrup with the amount of food I need to consume.

But that wasn't the end of my energy-absorbing abilities. Fate had another surprise in store for me. It turns out that I could also absorb kinetic energy.
Thanks to my brother Yo's quirk, which involved impact and vibrations, I found that I could absorb the energy generated from his actions. It was an amazing discovery for me, but it didn't sit well with Yo.

Yo, the pride of our family, excelled in everything he did. And here I was, catching up to him and discovering new technique's along the way. It created a friendly rivalry between us, I knew that I wanted to show him that I could make my own mark in the hero world, but deep down we would always be there for eachother, I think. 

Yo being the older sibling had already entered high school and chose to attend Ketsubutsu Academy. It was expected of him to excel. However, when it was my turn to enter high school, I made a bold decision. I chose to enroll at U.A. High School, the renowned rival of Ketsubutsu Academy (not really, Ketsubutsu is lame).

My parents were taken aback by my choice, especially my mother who already didn't like the fact that Yo was going into the hero business.
Deep down, I hope they were proud of me for standing up for myself and choosing my own path. This decision, however, only fueled Yo's frustration and intensified our sibling rivalry. He couldn't comprehend why I would choose U.A. over the Ketsubutsu Academy. And that was precisely one of the main reasons I chose U.A.—to ruffle his feathers.

 'What better way to irritate Yo than by attending the very school he thinks competes directly with his? Keyword: Thinks'
The prospect of seeing the look on his face when I walked into U.A. filled me with a mix of excitement and determination.

I knew that attending U.A. would come with its own set of challenges. The rigorous training, intense competition, and high expectations awaited me. But I was ready. I had honed my speed, absorbed the energy of the sun, and harnessed kinetic power. I was determined to become a top-notch hero, to surpass the expectations of the school. 

I also bet I could place top 3 in the entrance exam, and I'm not losing 5 dollars to Yo.

So Hayano's quirk is based on the DC superhero flash, if you haven't figured that one out yet.
