[Silver's POV]
The world I live in is a world where superhuman abilities exist. People can do what they wish with it. You might think that it's amazing. I won't blame you, I once thought about that too until I've seen it myself. Just like humans are, there are weak and strong quirks- there are also useless and useful ones. People are judged because of their powers and if they have none, they are deemed worthless.
This world is so unfair. Everyone wasn't created equal. Almost everyone in this era have superpowers-or quirks-and only few have none. Even with a quirk, mine is comparable to that of having none, for I wasn't able to use it at a very important time... a time where I needed it to protect my parents- my mother and father.
"Again, who did it?" The police asked us. Even with the sudden rise of his voice's pitch, it didn't made any impression to us. It was not enough to make us speak about the incident- that killed our parents.
"We won't be able to stop the villain who did this if you don't speak right now." He said.
"That villain is someone that no one can beat. If you ever attack, she'll only return the favor twice." Suni said.
"Please give up." I said. He sighed, clearly unpleased to where this is going.
"I don't want to use this card to you since you're all still young but I have no choice." He said and then relaxed on his seat. What...
"Don't you kids even care for your parents?" He asked, surprising me. Really? Of all questions-
"We care... but this is not something that you and the other officers must get involved to." Suni said.
"How so? Is the enemy too strong that even the top hero cannot defeat him?" He asked.
"Someone with a quirk cannot beat her." Suni answered before crossing her arms.
"Only a quirkless hero can beat her - which the society doesn't have. Enough of this questions and leave us alone." Suni said. Only a quirkless hero...
"So, you're telling me that this villain is a she and she has a quirk that can use a person's quirk against him? Pretty strong for a villain." He said, surprising the three of us.
"Well, even if you don't pull any specific information about the suspect, we will still continue the investigation. As a family member, I hope that you don't mind." He continued.
"We don't." The three of us said in chorus.
After the questioning, we were sent under our grandmother's care. The visit wasn't very welcoming but we were grateful-in any case.
The investigation continued on for how many months and even now, it was still left unsolved. During those months, leading a normal life was so hard.
Students began to bully us because of the sudden change in our social standing. We lost our usual life. When the world seemed to have forsaken us, the only one who didn't gave up was our oldest sister and the only person who has no quirk in the family, Suni.
Because of her, I tried my best... but my best wasn't enough. The nightmare of my parents' death haunted me in my sleep.
Many things had reminded me of the incident that sparked something inside of me. The feeling was unfamiliar to me that I tried to brush it away. Again, tried.
A month later, I received a letter about a scholarship offered to me from a top school in America. At first, I turned it down, seeing that there's no appropriate reason to be away from my family...
That is... until an event changed my decisions completely upside down.
"Family day and we're the only one who had no parents with us." Ikejiri said, looking sadly at the other families.
"Well, let's enjoy while it lasts." Suni said and began to walk ahead of us. All of a sudden, she tripped on her step.
Because of her reflexes, she was able to escape the shame of planting her face on the ground... however, the fact that she tripped doesn't change.
She's a very careful person so tripping is almost an impossibility for her!
"What happened?" I asked her. As if to answer my question, someone began laughing behind us.
"Lloyd-Eddison-!" Ikejiri exclaimed while looking at them, her eyes covered in fury.
Lloyd and Eddison also came from a hero family, thus they are almost hailed in this school. They are treated like royalty here.
They are treated like royalty because of their families. They are treated like this because of their family's fame.
"Sorry about that. I thought you can handle my quirk since you're the daughter of the Enhancing hero." Eddison said. What?!
"That's going overboard, Eddison! Quirks aren't supposed to be used as playthings!" I shouted.
"What can you do? You're powerless! You can't even protect your parents. You have no name, no fame, nothing. Your worthless- just a trash." He said. T-Trash?
"It wasn't our fault that our lives became like this! You have no right to make fun of us!" I shouted, unable to contain the anger on my voice.
"Is that so? Then whose fault is this? Your parents... or that villain you're so scared about?" He asked. My hands trembled at his question. Whose fault...?
He noticed the silence in the air and smirked.
"You can't answer the question, huh? How weak and pathetic." He said, leaving us behind. When they were already out of hearing range, someone touched my shoulder that removed me from my frozen state.
"I'm fine, Silver. As I told you, let's enjoy this event while it lasts. Don't-"
"Don't what? Don't mind them?" I asked her. Suni went silent, probably because she doesn't know what to say.
"He's right, you know- very right. We are pathetic... and weak." I said and look at her, tears brimming from my face. Suni and Ikejiri look at each other before looking away.
The teacher allowed us to go home for the day when she noticed how gloomy the atmosphere around the three of us and found out about the bullying, again.
The journey home was very silent but I didnt care.
Once I reached the house, I locked myself up on my room and took the letter from America on my closet.
I was powerless to protect my parents. I know the reason why we were in this situation but I didn't even considered it on my decisions. She did it and she have to pay! Because of her, our family is in shambles! If she didn't interfere, no one would have to suffer in this family!
I have to beat her so no one would suffer the same fate as we did. I will defeat you... Aunt Mixus.
I accepted the invitation to go to America and informed my siblings about it. I was able to fool Ikejiri that I want to go to America to train to become a hero but not Suni.
"Tell me the truth, Silver. Why are you going to America?" Suni asked. I look at her before laughing.
"I told you! To become a hero. I want to become like Mom and Dad. I want to have the strength to-"
"Really? To become a hero- or to start your revenge?" She asked, surprising me. As expected, she's so sharp.
"What's it to you? Unlike you, I want to make her pay after what she did to this family." I said.
"Silver, please rethink your decision. Mom and Dad wouldn't want you to get hurt. You're not the only one who's going to be affected by it. Revenge only gives birth to dire consequences." Suni said.
"I don't care. I just want her to pay. We're you unaffected by the fact that she destroyed this family- that she killed them?" I asked her.
"I'm angry but I don't have the luxury to plan on revenge. She was able to kill her own family. If we do what she did, then we're no different than her." She said. I went silent before laughing. This is ridiculous.
"No matter what I said, our contradicting views will continue to clash. I'm going to have my revenge and if you will not help me, then let's just go in separate ways." I said.
I went to America after that and studied hard to become one of the best fighters in class. I want to avoid my sister at any cost but I have to go back to Japan to continue my revenge... and today is the day for me to do so.
I went out of the train and faced the person that will guide me on my return. Her eyes bore to mine, clearly unimpressed by my appearance.
"You have a lot of explaining to do, Silver." She said.
I silently gulped, feeling the sudden rise of tension in the air. I have to face her if I want to continue my revenge. I have to resist in order to do what I need to do.
