Virtual Understanding (BnHA FanFic)

Chapter 3

<Welcome, Uzu no Toshi!>

"What the—GAH!!" A resounding thud followed straight after, as the sleep-deprived girl slammed her head straight into the bed head at six o'clock in the morning, "FAAAAAR OUT! That huuuuurts!"

Toshi didn't really know if she was delusional from lack of sleep and stress or just completely insane but as she peered her eyes open, the... thing was still in front of her face. Except, this time Toshi was wide awake and just a teensy bit more rational then she was mere moments ago; her eyes focused on the flat, semi-transparent white rectangular, screen––for a lack of a better word––floating in the air. She choked on her own saliva as she sat up with a start, warily eyeing the box as it seemed to move along with her.

...Am I really seeing this? Please don't tell me I've gone crazy.

Just to test it out, Toshi raised her hand slowly and brought it towards the screen. The girl flinched lightly when the box had responded to her touch, changing the phrase into a new set of words.

<Close? [YES/NO]>

My god, it looks like something from a game, Toshi thought sluggishly as she gingerly pressed the 'YES' button and to her immense pleasure, it vanished from thin air. Video games were one of her favourite pastimes, evenly matched with watching anime and reading manga; and such screens were extremely common in RPG's when a player first starts their adventure in a brand new world. Geez, to think that I've gamed so much that I'm starting to see goddamn screens!

<Would you like to start the tutorial? [YES/NO]>

"Sure, why not," The girl sarcastically muttered to herself. Before she realized it, her words had triggered a command and she found another box being displayed in front of her. Crap. Toshi didn't actually mean to say 'YES'...

...Oh well. Might as well go with the flow. Even if Toshi still wasn't fully convinced that all of this was actually happening. First and foremost, it wasn't every day something like this happened to a normal, boring, quirkless girl; after an entire ten years of living on the planet called Earth with no quirk, there was no way she'd just magically receive a quirk in the middle of nowhere.

And if this were all just a hopeful, realistic dream (which it probably was despite the throbbing ache on the head where she had hit it earlier), she should just make the most of it, "Main Menu,"
