I WILL ADAPT | MHA x OC

0. What It Takes To Be A Hero

The city of Musutafu was always alive with activity, its bustling streets echoing with the sounds of everyday life. Amidst the towering skyscrapers and neon lights, heroes soared and villains schemed, each day a new chapter in the never-ending saga of quirks and superpowers. It was in this vibrant metropolis that Yuuki Hamna was born, a child destined to change the very fabric of the world around him.

Yuuki's parents, humble and hardworking, had hoped for a simple life. His father, a salaryman with a quirk that allowed him to generate small electrical currents, and his mother, a florist with the ability to encourage plant growth, never expected their son to possess a quirk so extraordinary. From the moment he took his first breath, it was clear that Yuuki was different.

As a toddler, Yuuki exhibited signs of his quirk, "Adaption." There was a small floating object that was on the top of his head, it would slowly turn whenever he started to adapt to something. The more he stumbled and fell, the less it affected him, preventing bruises and scrapes. His body temperature fluctuates with the weather, keeping him comfortable in both scorching summers and freezing winters. His parents watched in awe as their son adapted to every new challenge, his abilities growing more sophisticated with each passing day.

By the time Yuuki entered elementary school, his quirk had become the talk among the school. Teachers marveled at his ability to grasp complex concepts with ease, his mind evolving to meet the demands of his education. Bullies who sought to intimidate him found their efforts thwarted as Yuuki also possessed great physical strength. No obstacle was too great, no challenge too daunting.

Despite his extraordinary abilities, Yuuki remained humble and kind. He understood that his quirk was both a gift and a responsibility. His parents had instilled in him a strong sense of morality, teaching him the importance of using his powers for good. Yuuki's dream was to become a hero, not for fame or glory, but to make a genuine difference in the world.

From the moment Yuuki Hamna and Katsuki Bakugou met in elementary school, it was clear they shared a unique bond. Both possessed powerful quirks and an unyielding determination that set them apart from their peers. While Yuuki's quirk, Adaption, allowed him to grow and evolve in response to any challenge, Katsuki's Explosion quirk gave him a raw, explosive power that few could match. Their friendship was forged in the fires of competition, each pushing the other to become stronger.

Yuuki admired Katsuki's relentless drive and fierce confidence. Katsuki, in turn, respected Yuuki's adaptability and calm demeanor in the face of adversity. Unlike many of Katsuki's other classmates, Yuuki never backed down or felt intimidated by Katsuki's brash personality. Instead, he welcomed the challenge, seeing it as an opportunity to grow. Their rivalry was intense but respectful, each boy acknowledging the strengths of the other.

During recess, while other children played games or chatted in groups, Yuuki and Katsuki could often be found sparring in the schoolyard. Their battles drew crowds, the other students eager to watch the two prodigies clash. Katsuki would launch explosive blasts, each one more powerful than the last, while Yuuki adapted to each attack, his body hardening or his speed increasing to match the intensity. Their fights were a dance of fire and resilience, neither willing to give an inch.

Despite their competitive nature, their friendship extended beyond their battles. After school, they would walk home together, their conversations ranging from their dreams of becoming top heroes to the latest hero rankings and strategies. They would share lunch, often swapping parts of their meals and teasing each other about their tastes. Katsuki's fiery temper and Yuuki's calm patience balanced each other perfectly, creating a dynamic that was both challenging and supportive.

One of their favorite activities was to train together at the local park. They devised obstacle courses and endurance challenges, each trying to outdo the other. Katsuki would scale trees and leap from branch to branch, his explosions propelling him higher, while Yuuki would navigate the course with uncanny precision, his body adapting to the terrain and his mind calculating the most efficient path. They would collapse in exhaustion at the end of their training sessions, laughing and panting, each feeling a sense of accomplishment.
