11Injustice
The world was at the closest definition of peace.
Heroes patrolled cities as citizens looked up to them and smiled, knowing they are safe. Agencies dedicated to the protection of citizens were massive, powerful Quirk users using their abilities for the people.
All Might, the #1 Hero and the Pillar of Peace and Justice was the Golden Standard of society. His strength was unrivalled and he always had a smile on his face.
The world was currently in a Golden Era filled with Heroes protecting the peace, and while Villains were still a threat, they could afford to be careless. After all, that's what the heroes were for: to protect those who couldn't protect themselves.
"Toga chan!"
A young boy at the tender age of 5 ran towards his best friend. Himiko Toga turned to face her bestie and smiled. Her pale, dirty-blonde hair was styled into two neat buns and she had a straight fringe and two short side bangs.
"Aki kun!"
Shiki Akihiko had messy black hair with streaks of dark red that shone in the light. Coming to a stop beside Himiko, Shiki grinned as they began walking together to school.
"You excited for today, Toga chan?"
"Yeah! I can't wait to find out what quirk I have!"
"Hey-hey! I bet it will be something cool!"
Himiko grinned as she held onto her backpack, the sunlight casting a warm glow upon earth.
"I can't wait to find out, Aki kun!"
"Yeah!"
- Shinku -
The Quirk Assessment Office was a small but cozy office. Cream-colored walls had posters plastered to them, giving all sorts of helpful advice to those unsure on what course of action to take. Drawers were placed next to each other neatly behind the Doctor's desk, stacks of paper neatly sorted underneath the monitor. Behind the curtains, a bed for patients was occupied by a single child, his friend sitting to the side.
"Now, I'm going to activate your Quirk through force," the Doctor said gently to Shiki. "It may hurt a little, but you're a tough kid."
Shiki stayed still as the Doctor prodded him in the ribs with a small metal rod. Wincing, small sparks of electricity crackled from where Shiki was prodded, the rod shaking slightly. Instantly, his face lit up as the Doctor's eyes widened.
"As I thought, you received your mother's quirk," the Doctor said, writing on paper. "And there are also small signs of a second Quirk, but nothing definite."
The Doctor smiled as he ruffled Shiki's hair.
"Congratulations," the Doctor said. "You have a rare Quirk called 'Thunder'. It lets you control powerful electricity."
"Wooooooooaaaahhh!"
"That's so cool, Aki kun!"
"If you feel like you have another power of sorts, feel free to come back and visit me," the Doctor said kindly.
Shiki grinned as he rubbed his head. Lowering himself off the bed, Shiki sat down in Himiko's seat as she climbed onto the bed.
"Now, your mother had a partial transformation Quirk and your father a beauty Quirk. Hmm…"
The Doctor plucked a hair from his balding head and passed it to Himiko. Confused, Himiko held the hair in both hands as the Doctor smiled.
"Look at the hair and focus within yourself," the Doctor said. "I believe you inherited your mother's Quirk, Toga kun."
Himiko frowned before closing her eyes. Slowly, her features began to fade away into a pale-silver, viscous slime that began to mold into a different form.
Shiki watched in awe as a replica of the Doctor opened its eyes.
"...incredible... this is an extremely rare Quirk, Toga kun."
The replica Doctor frowned.
"I don't like this!" The Doctor pouted.
Shiki couldn't help it: he laughed. It was so surreal seeing the old Doctor replica pouting in elementary clothes as the real Doctor chuckled, writing on his clipboard.
Himiko melted into a silver slime again before she returned to normal, clothes intact. Before she could say anything, Shiki raced forwards and grabbed Himiko's hands with a wide smile!
"Your Quirk is so cool, Toga chan!"
"Neh-neh, you have a cooler Quirk, Aki kun!"
"Huuuhh? But I wanna transform!"
The Doctor chuckled again at the pouting child before smiling.
"You two have been blessed with powerful Quirks," the Doctor said. "You two will be great people in the future, I can tell."
Standing up with a light sigh, the Doctor made shooing motions towards the kids.
"Alright now, back to class children. I'm sure your friends want to hear about your Quirks now."
"Thank you, Doctor san!"
"Thank you, Doctor san! Sorry for what I said earlier!"
The Doctor laughed as the two kids left his office and rejoined their class.
"Now... Class 3-A is next? I still have ten minutes, so I think I'll have a coffee first."
A simple classroom filled with desks in neat rows, various children with various Quirks laughed as they showed off their unique powers. Stretchy limbs, mild telekinesis, fire breaths, bubbles; the children smiled in joy as they experienced their Quirks for the first time.
"Now-now class, since we all have learnt about our Quirks, I guess we can have the day off~"
"Yaaay!"
Shiki smiled as he looked out the window, gazing at the playground and the road beyond it. A tall man in a suit was just outside the school, looking around with a calm expression.
Shiki frowned as the man turned to look at him, eyes meeting before the man smiled.
"Neh-neh, whatchca looking at Aki kun?"
"Waah!" Shiki fell out of his chair before sighing with relief. "You scared me, Toga chan."
Himiko frowned and leaned forward, looking out where Shiki was before.
There was nothing there.
As Shiki stood up and fixed his chair, Himiko sat down next to her friend as they ate their lunch together.
"Hey, Toga chan, what do you want to be when you are older?"
"Hmm?"
Himiko wiped her mouth before humming in thought.
"I think I want to be a nurse," Himiko said, a small smile on her face. "Kaa san always helps others, and I want to be like Kaa san!"
Himiko leaned on the desk, propping her head on her hands and smiling.
"Neh, what about you, Aki kun? What do you want to be?"
Shiki clenched his fist as sparks of blue crackled. Smiling, he raised his head, an honest smile on his face.
"I want to be a hero, just like Tou san."
Himiko giggled as Shiki faced her.
"Then I can be your personal nurse," Himiko said, matching Shiki's smile. "Let's stay together, Aki kun."
"Yeah."

"You freak!"
"Kya!"
Himiko Toga, age 14, fell to the floor, tears welling in the corner of her eyes.
Bystanders murmured and began to form a crowd in the school grounds as Himiko sniffled, rubbing at her eyes with the hem of her sleeves.
"I bet you like the taste of blood, don't you, freak?"
The crowd gasped as Himiko's head shot up.
"N-No!" Himiko cried. "It's not like that! I-!"
The bully laughed as she kicked Himiko in the face, the victim's head snapping backwards as she fell to the ground. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she choked on her tears, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.
"Stay in your place, Toga kun," the bully said, glaring at the girl. "Drink your own blood if you want it that badly."
Himiko slowly attempted to sit up, only for a shoe to slam into her side.
"AAAAAAHHH!"
Cruel laughter filled the schoolyard as more shoes followed the leader. Himiko screamed and cried out in pain as her burning ribs erupted into thousands of wasp stings.
Bruised, battered and bleeding, Himiko cried as her vision became blurry from pain and tears.
No one noticed the smell of ozone surrounding the schoolyard as a teenage boy approached at a rapid pace except Himiko.
A small smile on her face, the girl croaked out a name before her vision turned black.
"Shi-ki… kun."
