"I'm home" a voice yelled, eyes sunken and dreary as he entered his family home kicking off his shoes

Kirishima Ejiro an only child with a quirk he didn't favour, he dreamed to be a pro hero, but lacked the confidence and so he constantly belittled himself for it but his luck changed

. . .

"Why did you want that" his friend asked peeking over his shoulder "it looks old" another bickered "I don't know it was kind of just calling me"

"Ah the lamp, from the lands of Ababwa, they say a genie lives in there waiting for a new master" the old man croaked "really" Kirishima laughed

the boy had just bought an old antique from a foreign merchant, It was a golden lamp which he couldn't keep his eyes off of, like a magnet he was drawn to it, along the base of the lamp was an inscription in a language he didn't understand

'Only those pure of heart,
the diamond in the rough'

. . .

Putting away his books the boy lay flat on his back, the Yuuei entrance exam quickly approached and his nerves slowly took over him

'Am I good enough'

'There are going to be so many people there with amazing eye catching quirks'

'Mine just isn't flashy at all'

There was a hum, his bag began to vibrate and a strange thought had quickly crossed his mind, the boy pulled out the lamp raising it up to the light "It's kind of cool" he whispered, it was a nice size and had pretty hand carved designs, Ejiro thought of gifting it to his mother before he reached to tap the object "it looks like it's real gold too" he smiled

Kirishima rubbed the lamp, chuckling, he thought he'd give it a try 'genies don't exist', the object looking hundreds of years old as it sparkled. If it was magic what would he even wish for, the boy combed through his dark hair 'maybe a better quirk'

Throwing the lamp onto the bed, the boy closed the curtains "Oh well. .maybe I'll wish for some confidence. .that would be great"

"Did I hear wish"Ejiro jumped, quickly activating his quirk as he searched for the intruder, the golden lamp began to shake fireworks shot up, the atmosphere around him turning into a light show "w-what's going on!" He trembled as a pink fog blurred his vision "h-Huh wait!" the smoke cleared when he heard a feminine chuckle,
