Absolute In/Existence

First Day of School

…

"Take care of yourself, baby," Akira said, hugging Sora tightly and close to her bosom.

"Mm, I'll see you later, mom."

Sora chuckled and looked at his mother's beautiful dark eyes.

Bringing his hand over to hold her chin, Sora surprised his mother.

She watched in surprise as Sora held her chin and brought her face close to his. Akira raised her eyebrows, she felt Sora's breath on her.

Looking at his face, Akira's eyes fell to Sora's lips.

"Ha~"

Akira let out a hot breath, her heart skipped a beat as her eyes rapidly rose back up to Sora's eyes.

"I love you, mom," Sora smirked before planting a kiss on Akira's forehead before turning to leave in his new uniform.

Akira stood in place, stunned.

She looked at his back and smiled coolly as she spoke to herself.

"My baby is such a flirt. This hot mother of his needs to return the favor."

Walking through the busy streets of the city in the morning, Sora looked at the scenery around him.

It helped soothe his already relaxed mind and aided him in stepping into a deeper level of calmness.

His eyes wandered about, looking at various vehicles pass by and countless devices around him. Taking a deep breath, he smelled the air and all the contents it contained.

During this simple walk, he absorbed much knowledge. He broke down the cars and rebuilt them all within his mind before reconstructing them stronger and improved.

The same went for any other device he laid eyes upon and for the case of smell, Sora focused on the vegetation.

How to improve them in order to improve the air quality and whatnot.

As Sora's eyes wandered, his gaze would linger on the woman a second longer than they needed to.

"HI~ Sora!"

Hearing Nejire's voice, Sora turned to see her jogging towards him with a wide smile on her face.

"Good morning Nejire. How's your morning so far?"

Sora returned the greeting as he let Nejire catch up to him.

"Great! I ate some eggs and bacon!"

Nejire mentioned with a bubbly aura around her.

"It's always great to see someone so energetic in the morning," Sora said with a chuckle.

"Hehe~!"

Nejire chuckled as they both stepped into U.A. High School.

They walked around and they came to the front of the school where a couple of large boards were set up. On the boards were everyone's class assignments.

There, Sora and Nejire found Mirio and Tamaki searching for their names on the huge board..

"Mirio. Tamaki."

Sora walked forward and greeted them, the excited Nejire following closely behind as well.

"Morning you two! Looking for your classes already?"

Hearing Nejire and Sora's voices, both Mirio and Tamaki turned to look at them.

"Mm! All four of us are in Class 1-A," Mirio responded with an excited look on his face.

Turning to look at the board himself, Sora instantly noticed his name on the top of the board.

Akanabe Sora Hado Nejire Ai…

…

Amajiki Tamaki

…

Togata Mirio

…

Sora looked at the board and noticed in an instant that their names were arranged in the way they ranked in the exams. The top 40 students were split randomly between both classes 1-A and 1-B.

Sora and the rest could have easily been separated between classes. Luckily, that was not the case with them.

"Yeah!"

Mirio exclaimed, feeling pumped up at knowing they were all going to be together in class 1-A.

Quietly, Tamaki also agreed as he looked at Mirio smile whilst feeling relieved that they weren't separated.

"Let's get to class! I want to see who our teacher will be," Nejire mentioned as she urged everyone forward with a smile. "I wonder what Hero it will be. Do you think I will be able to ask them questions about their Quirk?"

"They should answer unless they believe your questions are too invasive," Sora responded as he walked next to Nejire.

In front of them both, Mirio and Tamaki were walking side by side and talking.

"Mmhm!"

Nejire nodded with a smile, understanding what Sora was saying before turning to look at him curiously. Her eyes scanned him from head to toe, trying to guess what type of Quirk Sora could have.

"Curious?"

Sora turned to look at Nejire with a smile, seeing what she was thinking from a mile away.

She nodded her head, her smile bright and her eyes filled with curiosity as she awaited his answer. Seeing her like this, Sora began to view Nejire as an adorable and curious cat.

One with a curvy body.

"My Quirk's a simple one, Regeneration," Sora said, returning the smile at her. "I am always in my prime thanks to it."

"Wooww! You got the top place with just a Regeneration Quirk??"

Nejire looked at Sora in surprise, amazed that he could reach such a spot with a quirk like Regeneration that can only work as a support Quitk. Meaning Sora manage to attain first place not due to his Quirk, but by his own physical ability.

Her question sounded rude, as if saying that his Quirk is weak and useless.

Luckily Sora knew that it was just Nejire's innocent manner of asking questions out of curiosity.

Sora chuckled.

"How did you manage to get first place, then?"

Sora could see Nejire's question coming from a mile away but waited for her to say it. He simply smiled and responded to her question.

"Strength. I trained myself to the point of breaking past the human body's limits."

"Cool!"

Nejire exclaimed in admiration.

Sora and Nejire continued talking with each other even after entering their class and waiting for the teacher to arrive.

Nejire is a curious girl and asked about anything that would come to her mind and Sora had the patience and calm to listen to her and respond to her every question.

***

Somewhere in a different city, underneath a hospital, a bald man with goggles and a thick mustache. He was completing some lab tests when a computer far from him suddenly turned on.

"Hm?"

He grunted in curiosity before leaving the lab tests and approaching the computer curiously.

[Regeneration Quirk - Akanabe Sora]

"…"

The middle-aged man stood there frozen. His eyes wide in shock.

It was a full minute later when he finally regained his bearings. A wide smile broke out on his face, his eyes squinting in joy.

"Hahaha! Finally! A strong natural born Regeneration Quirk!"

Moving quickly, the man grabbed the computer mouse and began clicking and reading the paper.

It was from a clinic in the city where U.A. High school is.

This middle-aged man's name is Garaki Kyudai, however, by the world, he is known as Dr. Tsubasa.

Dr. Tsubasa is a doctor respected by many due to his contribution to the world and the medical field. He owns various orphanages and care homes in partnership with other private clinics to research Quirks and Quirk-based healthcare.

However, the truth was different.

As his true self, Kyudai, this man works for a powerful person in the shadows and hidden from everyone. Researching quirks and other things for evil purposes.

This particular research requires something important.

A Regeneration Quirk.

Such Quirks are rare and very uncommon. Those that Kyudai had managed to get ahold of were very weak and he had to personally tweak them and even attempt to create his own through various experiments.

Now, there was a natural strong Regeneration Quirk before him.

"Amazing! He survived such terrible burns and even a small scale explosion head on! He healed such burns in such a short time," Kyudai mumbled to himself as read the papers he received about Sora with a large smile on his face.

'I need to get him!'

His eyes lit up in joy.

"If I can get him, I will be advancing my research by many years."

Kyudai gathered the documents and got moving.

With a large smile, he left his current room and walked through a couple doors, further deep into the underground facility underneath the hospital.

Deep within the facility, Kyudai arrived in a brightly lit room where a man sat on a chair, seemingly waiting for him.

His head was completely disfigured, filled with scar tissue. No visible eyes, nose, ears or even hair. Over his mouth is a skull-like gas mask with angular tubes, below it is a wide collar-like life-support system with pipes connecting from the front to his back.

"Doctor, what brings you here?"

The man lifted his head, sending Kyudai's arrival in the room.

"We've found it. The Quirk we have been looking for," Kyudai said as he began to inspect the equipment on the man's body.

He made sure they were in good condition before standing to the side.

"With this quirk, you can be brought back to full health!"

Full of confidence, Kyudai promised the man to be fully healed as long as they attain that quirk. The man's body would be healed completely and he would return to his prime.

The man smiled and with a deep voice, he gave out the order.

"Send out a nomu to get him."

The man ordered Kyudai, and hearing the amusement in the man's voice, Kyudai could tell that the man was looking forward to this.

"Consider that Quirk ours," Kyudai said confidently as he walked away with a wide smile on his chubby face.

"Hm…"

Leaning to the side on his chair, the man rested his head on his fist.

"Regeneration… with that, I'll be one step closer to getting rid of my problems… hahaha!"

The man laughed loudly.

The sound of his laughter responded within the enclosed room he was in.

***

"Quirk apprehension test?"

Mirio looked a little confused after hearing the announcement of the teacher.

Glancing over at Mirio, Sora turned to look at their homeroom teacher.

A man with shaggy black hair wearing a really long scarf made of special materials stood in front of everyone. His face was pale and his eyes had bags under them.

This sleep deprived man with bloodshot eyes is the Erasure Hero: Eraser Head. His real name is Aizawa Shota.

"Don't you want to see where you stand in the class?"

Rather than be confused like Mirio, Nejire was looking forward to the test. To see how everyone uses their quirk to improve their physical scores.

Compared to the both Nejire and Mirio, Sora didn't care much about the test. Instead, he was looking forward to the Support Department.

He was planning on researching a new energy source and complementing it with a robot to protect his mother.

Not to mention that with his years of experience, Sora could see that everyone in the room is weak. That included his teacher Aizawa.

Some would be tricky to take down like Mirio, but nothing impossible to fight against.

"The person with the lowest score will be expelled. Now, let's begin with a 50 meter dash."

Despite the sudden shocking news that Aizawa presented to everyone regarding expulsion, no one was given an answer to their questions and grievances.

All they could do was try their best.

In pairs, Aizawa made the students go up and present their speed.

Some students were able to use their quirks to get across 50 meters more efficiently than others.

Aizawa looked at the students without saying anything and silently scored them in his head based on what he was seeing.

What he really cares about was not the scoring of the Quirk Apprehension Test, but how the students adapt and act according to the circumstances. He wanted to see if they would push themselves to try their hardest and attain a higher score than they ever attempted.

Off to the side with the students, Sora was doing the same thing, wondering who has the potential to be someone strong.

He was already planning for the future when he needs someone to fight against.

"Next! Sora and Mirio."
