Call of Silence-(All Might/ Toshinori Yagi) Book 2

27

As I sit still (for once in my life) and watch the world pass by, thoughts and feelings dance around my head about what I'm about to experience or what I have just experienced on my travels. Each one is more special and eye-opening than the last. And I've really come to realize that I do some of my best thinking with my head high up in the clouds, looking up at ribbons of cloud-topped by soft blue tinged strips of light. It's always sensationally tranquil.

But on this particularly beautiful morning, my upper torso was gleefully lingering outside of the building soaking in the sun as I sat down enjoying the bus ride to the schools training facility for one of the training simulation exercises.

Meanwhile, while I sit here and enjoy the very nature that life has to offer, my classmates were more concerned about other things that often tended to narcissistic needs.

The girls flocking towards what they deem as the hottest boys in the class. Some of the guys, on the other hand, were busy trying to trade different cards for this hot card game that was out.

"Do you mind if I sit here?"

I turned my head towards the person who asked and gasped. It just had to be him who asked to sit beside me-Toshinori Yagi, the most popular guy in the class.

I never really talked to him before because I mostly kept to myself, considering I was deemed quirkless by my classmates because I never showed my quirk.

"U-Um, sure..." I mumbled while moving my bags out of chair beside me for him to sit in.

He took the seat beside me and placed his own duffel bag beside mines and sighed out of content. I guess he seemed a bit relaxed around me. But even if that was the case, why not sit near the other empty seats in the front...why sit near me?

"I much rather prefer sitting beside you than beside them," he said in a low tone, "With you, I know I can be just myself and be seen as myself, whereas they place me on a higher pedestal than I am, you only see me as me."

"B-But isn't that the whole point of t-this world...with quirks." I mumbled, "A quirk is essentially a supernatural ability or power that an individual possesses. Quirks are often passed down through family bloodlines, or children can have a combination of their parents' quirks. They were developed as a milestone of human evolution, and almost eighty percent of the human race in the coming age will develop some sort of a quirk..."

Toshinori looked towards me a bit out of curiosity and interest while I turned my focus towards the passing trees and cars. It was best that I remain quiet around him and not speak much. I was advised not to draw attention to myself anyways and yet that one day in the park, has bought this guy closer in more ways than one.

I assumed that day...it was just out of being polite that we had walked together, but days that had followed he would continuously walk me to and from school. What did he want?

"Even though that is the case, the fame shouldn't cloud a hero's ability to save and protect," Toshinori started, "But it guess as someone who is quirkless, it would be impossible to understand."

"Right," I countered, " I embody the very impossibility of becoming a superhero and yet by two recommendation from the world's two top heroes, I am in the hero course at Yuuei..."

The bus stopped as Toshinori looked at me out of shock from my statement. He and everyone else in the school knew that I was the only student this year that came into Yuuei with two recommendations from the world's most famous heroes and yet I was quirkless. It always baffled them on the idea that a person like myself could be a hero of interest.

I rose from the chair ready to leave along with the other students, only to be boxed in by Toshinori's body. His actions took me by surprise as he pushed against me with his arm leaning against the window pane.

"Why?" Toshinori asked, "We all busted our butts trying to get into Yuuei and you, a Quirkless being, come into Yuuei with two recommendations from the world's top two heroes..."

"Because even though- All men are equal, there are some that are more equal than others." I simply answered pushing his arm out of my way causing him to be pushed into his chair from a tiny portion of strength I channeled through my arm.

"D-Do you have a quirk?" Toshinori asked.

"I am not obliged to answer, all you need to know is that I am simply a quirkless girl attempting to get an education at Yuuei high," I answered, "Nothing more."

"But he knew I was much more that what I was projecting to this school...and through his extremely friendly and amicable attitude, with his popularity ... he continued to pursue me...because he wanted to know more. He wanted to know the secrets behind my
facade. Little did he know...he knew he was breaking through my walls and learning them."
