MHA: Crystal Clear

Chapter 1: Ch1: Step by Step



I don't know how to explain it, but literally 5 minutes ago I was taking a nap, and now I find myself in an empty, white room.Obviously, this made me extremely confused.

But even in this confusion, I felt adrenaline. I don't know, deep down I was hoping it was... yeah, hoping it was... some sort of reincarnation process like in the fanfictions, manga, or whatever I had read, I didn't even think about the fact that I might just be dreaming.

I look at my hands, and they are almost translucent like the rest of my body, but before I could come to any conclusion, two wheels appear in front of me.On the wheel to my left, there were the names of several fictional works like Naruto, Bleach, Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, Toriko, and many others. On the wheel to my right, there were the names of characters from these same works on my left.

Suddenly, a information appears in my mind, telling me that if I don't spin the wheels within 10 seconds, I will lose the opportunity to be reincarnated. So, I hurry and spin the wheels immediately,the left wheel lands on My Hero Academia, and the right one lands on Mars from the manga Black Clover.

Then, suddenly, I feel like I'm falling. The world becomes dark around me, and I find myself as if trapped in a bubble, if I can say it like that. I can't open my eyes,I can't move the way I want and the sounds I hear are muffled.

Damn, I'm in a womb.

So now I'm going to have to relive every step... transmigration would have been a better solution, but I'm not going to complain, far from it.

After a while, the day of my birth finally arrived. I was finally taken out of my prison. It was a strange sensation from start to finish, and now I could finally hear the voices around me clearly, but my vision, on the other hand, was still not quite there.

While I was thinking, the person holding me in their arms started talking.

"Madame Kesshō, it's a boy! Look at him, he's beautiful, he looks so much like you.

However, he's not crying...it happens sometimes. Here" The nurse handed me to my mother, if I understand correctly.

She took me in her arms and said, "Indeed, he looks a lot like me. I would even say he resembles my late father. I will give him his name Takashi...Kesshō Takashi" So that's my name...I think,It's the only thing I could understand. In my previous life, I didn't speak Japanese fluently.

Suddenly, the nurse asks my mother, "Madame Kesshō, are you sure you don't want to wait for the father of the child to decide on th-"

"His presence is not necessary, and he would never have come" She interrupted the nurse sharply. I don't know what they're talking about, but it sounds serious.

After months of hearing my mother and her surroundings talk, I started to understand the language pretty quickly. I'd say, it's literally all I had to do as a baby,and learning to crawl.

My vision also greatly improved in the meantime, and I've already seen quite a few things. Quirks are so strange to see in action for real but let's move on. I currently live in an apartment in Hosu City with my mother, whose name is Akari.I'd say we're not rich, but we get by just fine like really well.

I'm now 2 years old, and the rather humiliating periods of my life will soon be behind me.

By the way, for now, I still don't know exactly what time period I've landed in. I'll have to wait a few more years to get clear and definite information, but I must be born in the same year as Deku.

"Takashi, come eat" cutting off my thoughts, my mother tells me that it's time for dinner.Dinners are often silent at our place, but that doesn't mean I don't get along with Akari, well, my mother.However, today she seems like she wants to tell me something "Takashi, starting tomorrow, you'll be going to daycare"

"Yes, Mother" Well, maybe I lied— the atmosphere is like this all the time, even when we're not at the table but I don't mind.

The next day, the day after that, and the days that followed for a year, I did what I had to do. And now it's been a year since I started kindergarten, I'm starting my second year here.

What I've been waiting for since I came into this world is finally approaching—soon, I'll have my quirk.

A week has passed since the start of the school year, and some little ones have started to see their quirks awaken.

But I don't pay attention to them, I'm just waiting for my turn to come.

A few weeks later, one morning at kindergarten, during lunch break, I sat at a table alone, as usual, and started eating peacefully, until a child who was running in the cafeteria was about to bump into me. Suddenly, instinctively, my arm raised and formed a crystal barrier.He bumped into it, but it didn't hurt him. Strangely, instead of just falling after crashing into it, the boy sank into the ground,I canceled my barrier and quickly grabbed his hand to pull him up.

The boy exclaimed cheerfully, "Thanks to you, my quirk finally appeared! Thank you, thank you! I'm Mirio Togata, and you what's your name?"

'Well, I was wrong, I'm not in the same year as the main cast.'

"I'm Takashi Kesshō, and don't worry, in a way ,we'll say that you helped me awaken my quirk too." We continued talking when having witnessed the scene from afar, the nursery assistant comes over to us and informs us that she's going to contact our parents to tell them that we awakened our quirks and that we have to go get them registered "Boys, wait patiently at the reception. I'm going to contact your parents so they can come pick you up, alright?"
