Let Me Start Over [My Hero Academia/Buko No Hero Academia]

Chapter I - Restart

"You nervous?"

The teenager that is being asked this reaffirms their anxiety. They stifle out a few chuckles that was supposed to reassure to the pro-hero that their second thoughts were by no means significant in preventing them from backing down from their choice to attend a public school. "Yeah, kind of. The district alone is kind of overwhelming; it's different from my hometown. In a good way, though." They can't take their eyes off the window, enraptured by the simplicity and cleanliness of the streets that the the limo was driving on.

At the other side of the vehicle is the pro-hero that was making a conversation with this teenager; his name is Keigo Takami. By most, he is known as Japan's number three hero, Hawks. "I can imagine. But, I'm certain you won't have a hard time getting accustomed to this district; it's as plain as they come, at least that was what I was told by my advisors and whatnot."

"That's good to hear." The fellow teenager that is going to attend the first day of their third year in middle school is (Y/n) (L/n). And beyond their nervousness about school, they also felt anxious to bring up the more relevant matter that they haven't discussed with Hawks, up until now. "Thank you for going through all that trouble in convincing those guys to let me go outside. I know I probably caused a lot of trouble, the second I did...you know what, but..."

Hawks thought nothing of his contribution to (Y/n)'s new life at a new middle school. "Don't even sweat it. -- If anything, you going to this school will convince those guys that you're not even guilty in the first place. Or, at the very least, that you can be "redeemed," He uses air quotations to mock the entire legal procedure that he underwent in enforcing the legal authorities to provide (Y/n) the permission necessary to attend school at all. "You're not going to be causing trouble, are you?" He says this in a joking manner.

Yet (Y/n) takes it quite literally. "No, sir."

Hawks isn't surprised, however, because since the very first day that he's met (Y/n), he's noticed they've always been so stiff and tense. And considering how certain pro-heroes had treated them in the weeks prior, he doesn't blame them for keeping their distance on certain occasions, even with an easygoing pro-hero like him.

But rather than reassuring (Y/n) that he didn't think it was possible for someone like them to cause trouble, he just sighs and tells them in advance. "As for what happened, don't even worry if your teachers and classmates will find out. We've made the incident extremely exclusive from the mainstream. And your identity has been hidden, too; we couldn't exactly determinate every journalist from getting their hand on this story. Though I'm sure at this point it's dialed down from their interest. Hadn't that been the case, then we wouldn't have even considered doing this. Other than that, just blend in the best you can, and you'll be fine. If anything does go wrong though, you tell me immediately once I pick you up, okay?"

(Y/n) nods. "Yes, sir."

Hawks raises an eyebrow. "You don't have any questions for me? We're close to the school."

(Y/n) gives it a thought. "My quirk...it won't ruin everything, will it?"

"Not unless you keep your emotions in check." Hawks replies with ease. "We've noticed that you've show incredible restraint in your emotions, which explains why it wasn't until recently that your quirk had gotten the better of you; it was that one exception where you just felt too angry, right?" (Y/n) nods again, but remains silent on their end of the conversation. "We have a lot more to research on, but we can safely assume that, so long as you avoid confrontation, whether it's verbal or physical, you'll be fine. Either way, it's only a matter of time until you do figure out this quirk of yours; I'm sure of it." He says this with a confident smile, and adds a wink; this amuses (Y/n), who appreciated the value that Hawks held towards them.
