4. Kindergarten

Is said to be hell on earth for the teacher and respite for the parent. As well as hell for some kids, but super fascinating place for some other kids. According to the countless self-insert original character I've read that got reborn in different worldーwait that sounds like me, oh yeah my life is a fanfiction nowーit's hell for reincarnator.

Reincarnator is a cool word. Like Terminator. But we got reborn. Once. Because of shitty traffic accident and God is feeling sorry and tries to make up but screwed anyway because it turns up that the destination place has peoples with fictional power and we reincarnator are cursed with this thing called plot.

I digress.

Most reincarnator agree kiddy-garden is hell for us.

Because we re mentally older right? Thus more mature and children play is no longer interesting. Which is not really true, because I know that most people will become more childish the older they got. I know a ton of people like to reminiscence about their childhood times and wished to become a little kid again.

Well I don't know about other people, but I absolutely love being a kid again. I can draw shitty sticks and color out of the line and people would call me artistic. I can run around in sugar high because why not. I can giggle and play house with some other kid as my dogーwait, the last one sounds weird. Point is, I can act as weird as cat on catnip or saying heartless stuff with the most clueless face as possible and people will only just nods and blame it on my young age.

Well not really. They gonna take the problem to my parent and we don't want that. Thank you very much.

As a reincarnator, I know dos and don'ts better than actual kids at that age, but it doesn't change the fact that I still have some lingering personality as then me because of my memory. Add in my actual childishness now and mix it with my ability to poison people. Considering that I was in a class full of nineteen other quirky four years olds.

Suffice to say I can blend in just fine.

Still.

Being a kid again, it does makes me realize just how cruel children can be. Since they have little understanding of what's acceptable and what's not, they just do whatever they want and see the reaction of the adult. Angry adult means it's not good and you gotta stop. Happy adult means it's good and we definitely can do it again. Adult ignoring what you're doing means it's probably fine to do it again.

That's why, teacher, you should've stop this children from doing stuff like bullying as soon as they began.

I don't care how much this name calling is a drag to youーI can see him actively let it happens, the trashーbecause that kid over there definitely need help.

''Ewww! No!''

''He is scary!''

''I don't want to go near him.''

Ahh... the fate of mutantーthey do call some quirk mutant, as if all quirk aren'tーquirk user is that they sometimes looks waaayyy different than people with different types of quirk. It changes the body shape of the user after all. Given how the show shows quite a number of this quirk type, I'm surprised to find out that they'e actually pretty rare. About eight to ten per hundred. That's a small number actually, given the population.

''I don't want to be in the same group as him.''

''He looks weird.''

''Why did he use it like that, it's creepy.''

I can literally see the kid slumped in his seat. Yeah, definitely not what the kid expected when he comes to this place. What a fabulous first day in kindergarten right? Even from here I can see how he clenched his fists and curled in to his body a bit and...

Oh damn my bleeding heart.

I'm not this empathic as then me.

''Hey,'' I called him. ''Wanna draw together?''

Oh my god his face. Stop. Stop with those hopeful slash wary puppy eyes. Just nod. Good he nodded. God this is embarrassing.

I proceed to dump my drawing set in the table across from him and sat down. The kid probably feeling quite bewildered right now, or even outright confused because his appearance obviously didn't seem to bother me in the slightest.

Blame it on my impulsiveness, kid... or my devil may care attitude... really I just don't care so stop staring and speak, this is getting awkward really fast.

''I'm Shoji Mezo.'' This kid is that Shoji?! First day in kindergarten and did I just impulsively sat in front of one future A-class member?! Definitely didn't expect that. Well. There's only one way to respond to this right? Run for your life because plot is imminent! Literally!

''Cool, nice to meet you. I'm Seihitsu Mary.''

Just kidding. Can't traumatize a cannon character. I'm not a monster. He's a kid and he just want to have friends in this goddamned kindergarten. I have moral. It has nothing to do with how adorable this odd octopi kid looks when he perked up.

Nope.
