Author's notes:
I am here... with a new chapter! I'm on a roll this time, yay~ So this is still the beginning, just some grounds and rule that Kelcie has to understand in order to navigate around in her new life in a new world. She's still has yet to come to terms with her current life, but in due time, all shall be well, that much I can say.
Please R&R on your way out~

Chapter 2 : Many Are Called But Few Are Chosen
.
.
Let it be known, that throughout all her short 16 years of life, there has never been a time where Kelcie has ever been as confused as she is now.
"What?"
"Don't make me say it twice, I know you heard me the first time just right!" The man answers in a sing-a-song manner. "I know you'll be the perfect character in that world just fine. You're apathetic, and if you learn your lessons as you live, then it's all the better! Now then, Kelcie, get ready, because this process might shock you a little…"
"No, wait, hold on a minute, what do you mean by being reborn into a world of Heroes?" Kelcie stops the man before he could continue his weird gestures as if he's summoning something. "I don't even know anything about this world of Heroes that you even mention! I don't even know what am I supposed to do there or why do you want me there!"
"Pish Posh, you'll learn from them, they'll fill you in just fine," He waves her questions away. "Now then, I just have a rule for you. Don't forget to leave when it's time to leave. That's all. I would usually say don't fall in love, but oh you humans will fall in love anyway. So! With that reminder to you, I bid you adieu."
"Wait, What-"
And then, as sudden as the surprise came, as soon as he finished his words, a huge hole opened up underneath her. And soon enough, she finds herself falling down the endless hole of what she thinks could lead her to the supposed World of Heroes.
"Wait you - Whhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Remember! Don't forget to leave when it's time to leave! With that in mind… good luck, Kelcie Crescent!"
Let it be said, that she has never ever been this frustrated in her entire short 16 years of life.
"Why is it that you can't LISTEN to meeeeeee?!"
.
.
.
"Ah! Look the our youngest is up!"
"Give her some space, Sayuri. She's probably confused. The Administrator never explains anything properly."
"Ah, that's so true. I still remember being dumped here just because I need to understand the worth of Heroes… that's so random of him, I swear."
"Nothing is ever done at random. I thought you of all people should've known better than to believe in coincidences."
"Fair point."
As Kelcie comes into consciousness, the voices of two people bickering rings slightly in her ears. Her head aches slightly, and when she tried to open her eyes, she's greeted with a bright light that instinctively makes her cover her eyes. She could feel the presence of two people next to her - she wonders who they are.
"Hey, little one. Can you hear me? Do your eyes hurt? Hang on, Senri, dim the lights please."
"Right."
Soon enough, the lights dimmed, and Kelcie could feel the welcoming absence of bright light to her eyes. She blinks some more, before her sight finally adjusts itself to two people - a male that wore a doctor's lab coat, and a woman wearing what she thinks is a formal clothing. Are they the people who are supposed to tell her why is she here now?
"Uwaaaa! You're. So. cute!"
As if suddenly hugged by a storm, there is someone behind her, grabs her and hugs onto her as if she's a teddy bear. Kelcie could only look at disbelief at the ability of the one who snuck up to her. How in the world are they able to hold her up so easily as if she weighs nothing?!
And is it just her or did she feel like she's smaller than she used to be? It's either that, or these people around her are just so freakishly big and tall…
"She's so cute, Sayuri! Just look at her! Oh, and I love those grey eyes of yours, by the way, little one. They look as if your eyes are the literal eye of the storm. They're so pretty!"
"Hayami… Stop. You're confusing the heck out of her." The woman wearing the formal clothing sighs, her blue eyes glaring to the woman carrying Kelcie. "Sorry about that, she's always so enthusiastic whenever there's a new arrival to our family. What's your name?"
"Kelcie. Kelcie Crescent. Pleased to meet you all…?" Kelcie answers, before greeting towards the three people welcoming her.
"Kelcie? You're Irish? Or Welsh? That's a rare name to hear nowadays." The male, the one Kelcie guess is called Senri, asks her.
"Neither. I'm born in Australia, raised there for some time, but then I moved to America." Kelcie answers. "I don't even know why my parents named me in such languages when I don't even speak them. I only know I'm named that because my parents wanted me to be brave."
"How fitting then," The formal, stricter woman, the one Kelcie guess is named Sayuri, smiles. "Well, it's a good name, but I think it's time for you to pick a new one to accommodate your new life. Do you have any names do you want? We should get this done and over with, before we have to explain to you anything about your time here."
"I'm hoping for the fact that you would explain to me what's going on first before I have to answer for anything…" Kelcie deadpans. "Why the need for a new name though?"
"Well, you see, Kelcie-chan, that's because you're going to start a new life here, you see!" The bubbly woman who's still carrying her answers. "If we use your old one, then there would be contradictions in with your current living conditions! Plus, a new name helps you get yourself situated in this new world! Now then, since you still look so adorably confused, I think I'll pick a name for you. Kelcie means Brave, right? So - Yuuki!"
She's right on one part - she is still confused. First of all, what did she meant by contradictions in her current living conditions? Does it have something to do with the fact that she feels so small and so weak? It's almost as if she's a toddler again!
But still? A new name? Yuuki? She likes the names her parents give her just fine! Why must she change her name?
"Arima Yuuki, then?" Sayuri prods. "Alright then, I'll be leaving to deal with the papers first. Hayami, Senri, act like proper guardians for her, you hear me? I don't want anyone questioning or throwing lawsuits because they think the both of you are unsuitable parents."
"Roger that!" Sayuri grins.
"No problem." Senri nods.
"Wait, what?" Kelcie finally asks, regaining her voice. "Hang on, what? Can someone please tell me what's going on?"
Senri pats her head. His grey eyes looking down at her with exasperation. "Well, this is a long story, Yuuki-chan. For now, let's get to the living room so everyone will be comfy for this. This is going to take a long time…"
.
.
.
The man that threw her into this world goes by many names.
What he is known for however, is that he is the Administrator of the many growing parallel worlds. He manages the many worlds, all the while maintaining the balance of the many worlds, and to prevent them from clashing into one another. To maintain the many worlds from clashing into one another, however, is a very taxing job. And without the proper resources, he just isn't able to accomplish it easily.
By resources, he meant only one and one thing alone - Humans.
"Wait, what, huh?" Kelcie interrupts Senri's rough explanation to her. "So, this Administrator, to maintain all the many parallel worlds, you say, needs humans? As resources? What? Why doesn't he just use, I don't know - animals or maybe just something aliens instead? Why Humans specifically?"
"Because this Administrator deals with humans, off course?" Hayami answers for Senri. "Yuuki-chan, could it be that from the world you came from, this is a foreign concept to you?"
"I never heard of this Administrator before," Kelcie answers. Taking in mind as to how Hayami easily says the word from the world you came from. It somehow sent chills down her spine. Just what did she meant by that? "I know of the many possible parallel worlds as to from mine, but what does this world has anything to do with the world of heroes or the need for Humans? And can you please stop calling me Yuuki-chan? My name, it's Kelcie."
"And I told you before, Yuuki-chan, that you're supposed to get used to your new identity!" Hayami pouts. "Okay, since this is getting too advanced for you, Sorry Senri dear, but Yuuki-chan, in your world, what do you think happen after death?"
"You either got to Heaven, Hell, or get reincarnated back to Earth." Kelcie answers.
"You're from one of those worlds where religion and faith are still growing strong," Senri groans. "This explanation just got a whole lot longer."
"You don't say, Senri dear." Hayami sighs. "Okay! So, let me explain this quickly to you, Yuuki-chan. From where we're born, the concept of getting reincarnated is a little bit different from your world's reincarnation. You see, Yuuki-chan, when you're getting reincarnated, you don't just go back to the world where you're already deemed as dead. Deaths and Births don't just happen by coincidence or accidents. When someone is born or dies, that means that it's just their time. So, when someone dies, they will be judged by the Administrators. They will determine is your soul lacks and sends you to the world where he knows you will be able to learn where your first life would not be able to learn."
"So… does that means that this is not your second lives?" Kelcie asks.
"Ah, that's the thing. The… glitch, you can see." Hayami continues. "Not everyone can remember their previous life when they get reborn, you see. Only special cases get to do that. And we are just some of those special cases. We're those very rare, few people that could only learn something new only when we have our previous world's memories with us. Have you ever felt Deja Vu before? That's a common symptom to those people who are reborn without their previous memories."
Deja Vu? Well, unless they would count the endless times she felt it during the times she would watch anime with Mallory, she doesn't think she ever felt any Deja Vu before. And she's pretty sure that the only reason why she would ever experience them in the first place is because she knows Mallory must've spoiled her how it went when she's only giving her half of her attention to her long rants about anime and manga and more of her worship towards those fictional characters.
"But to answer as to whether or not this is not second lives, then yes. Technically, everyone is at their second lives, as nobody could remember their lives before their previous ones." Senri elaborates. "The Administrator never says anything about it, but we all know about it anyways. We're pretty sure this is to protect our sanity. People usually already tend to go crazy after they finished their second lives, going through a third is usually just not worth it."
This... is a lot to take in. By the end of that explanation, Kelcie feels slightly out of her depth. Just what in the world is this supposed to mean for her? These worlds, that are managed by this supposed Administrator, the requiring of humans in order to maintain the balance of the many worlds - are these balances between the worlds supposed to be that fickle or something?
Sayuri smiles and walks to her side, seating next to her in the sofa and pats her head softly. "Now, don't think about it too much for now. Let's continue on the topic of your requirement… or to be more precise, your role here. It says so in your paper here too, see?"
Name: Kelcie Crescent
Age of Death: 16
Cause of Death: Accident - speeding truck, killed instantly from the blow
Eye Color: Storm Grey
Hair color: Dark Brown
Fluent languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Korean, Germany
DESTINATION: Musutafu, Japan
REQUIREMENT: ENSURE THAT THE FLAMES OF HEROISM BURNS BRIGHT
KEY CHARACTERS:
Midoriya Izuku
Bakugou Katsuki
Yagi Toshinori
As soon as Kelcie eyes reached the word Musutafu and then the word Japan, and then the very, very familiar names written in the paper…. She felt as if the entire world is crumbling beneath her.
Out of all the world she's chosen to be sent to… She's sent to the world of Anime that Mallory loves the most?
"..."
THUMP.
"Ah, she fainted."
"Yuuki-chan! Senri! Don't just stand there! Help me get her to a more comfortable position!"
"Yes, yes, dear." Senri chirps, helping the panicking woman with the unconscious child. "Well, I'll be completely honest to you, this is the first one we ever had anyone faint just from reading their own files. She's not doing anything illegal in her previous life, is she?"
"Eh? No, she's a good kid. She died at 16 though, poor girl. She's pretty mature and damn smart. Look at all the languages that she can speak, Senri!"
"Now that's what I call talented," Senri whistles in amazement. "She's this smart and the Administrator thought it would be a great idea to send her mingle with Heroes? Why didn't he just send her to America instead? They're in need of someone to help them manage their expanding business with the sudden surge in demand with support items."
"You can't just do that when she has these key characters that she must interact with." Hayami chides him. " I never heard of these people though… should we let everyone know about these people first before we let them meet with Yuuki-chan?"
"Eh, sure. That's a good idea. We could get some information about them, so we can set her up to meet with them easily. Don't let them take a peek of her papers though, remember to respect her privacy concerning her papers."
"Yes, yes." Hayami nods. "Well then, let's get to it then. I'll be putting her up to her room, so you let everyone know. I need to get start on dinner, some good food should help her digest the next round of information for her."
Senri nods, before walking towards the communications room with an exasperated expression on his face. This is going to take up so much of his time, for sure.
.
.
.
By the time Kelcie is awake from her impromptu decision to restart her overloaded brain, it's dinner time.
After a short panic attack at the room filled with pastel blue colors, only when she sees the note next to her that tells her that she's at her own room, does she finally calms down. She sighs, trying to gather her mind as much as she could, before she walks downstairs, towards the dining room, where she could smell the delicious food on the table. The said room is somehow quite noisy, much to her confusion, but she didn't think much of it, and calmly walks there.
The sight of the room surprises and exasperates her at the same time. Some of the people look pretty human, except for some of the features which Kelcie is very sure is not human. But considering the fact that she's reborn into the world of My Hero Academia, where Quirks are just the norm, and these major physical differences should not be a rare sight to behold, she could only sigh again and try to pace herself as much as she could.
This day had her taking in far too much new information than she'd like. And here's to think that she had it worse at school. This supposed family dinner in another world will just have to take the cake for her.
"Yuuki-chan," She could hear someone calling to her from the dining room. As soon as her name is called, the room quieted down slightly. "Come on in, don't just stand there, little one."
Murmurs grew among the small crowd as the small talk ceased and they were waiting patiently for her arrival to the dining room. Her dread just risen up a pitch. Why did the atmosphere have to feel as if she's being introduced to a bunch of sharks?
"Yuuki-chan, don't worry, mama is here now," Hayami walks towards her, and carries her up to her arms, much to Kelcie's shock. Her choice of words though - what did she just meant by mama? She must've misheard it, right? She's - This woman is not her mother!
"Hayami, don't be a tease," Senri sighs. "Sorry about that, Yuuki. Come on now, let's eat dinner. Everyone, please don't start a fight or anything you'll regret in front of our youngest."
If that doesn't sound like invoking murphy's law, then Kelcie doesn't know what else could it possibly represent.
.
.
.
"KANPAI!"
"CHEERS!"
"PROST!"
"GEONBAE!"
As dinner finishes and desserts and drinks -sodas, juice, and are those alcohol?- are being distributed among everyone, people soon parted into smaller, familiar groups. As Kelcie makes her way around the many people who introduces and tries to make a small talk with her, she soon finds herself far too overwhelmed by the large amount of people in the house. Just how many people are there who are supposedly related to her?!
"Here," A glass of apple juice is handed to her. "Good job for not hiding away from everyone, Yuuki-chan."
"Sayuri-san," Kelcie greets. "Thank you."
The woman smiles. "Your welcome. How are you holding up?"
"Tiring." Kelcie groans. "Are all of these crowd of people supposed to be related to Yuuki?"
"Yup." Sayuri answers, gulping down her drink in a quick gulp. "We're all related, one way or another, biologically or not. On paper, your parents are dead, and now you're adopted by Arima Senri and his wife Arima Hayami. But in reality… well, some things are better off not mentioned, aren't they?"
Kelcie shrugs. "I guess so."
Sayuri smiles. "Fufufu, you guess so? How are you holding up to your new name? I see that you still won't call yourself Yuuki."
"…I'm learning," Kelcie chooses her words, occasionally drinking her juice to cut the silence between them. How else could she describe her emotional crisis otherwise?
"Then take your time." Sayuri pats her head. "You can take it easy today. Tomorrow, Senri and Hayami will get you adjusted to your house, and I'll pick you up to get you registered for all the necessary documents to validate your existence here. Until then, enjoy your free time for now. Make some friends if you have too. You looked so lonely earlier."
And as fast as she came, Sayuri leaves with Kelcie's empty glass.
What was that word she used? Lonely… isn't it?
Kelcie bit her lip slightly. Lonely is just an easy word to use to describe all the thoughts in her mind right now. How else could she ever possibly describe of the entire ridiculousness of this situation where she just died, only to be reborn here in a fictional world that Mallory loves so much?
She's not supposed to be here… and yet, here she is, standing among the many crowd of people who may or may not be like her, dead to their worlds and living in this world. She doesn't even understand She doesn't even understand why she was chosen to be here. And her mission requirements – Ensure that the flames of heroism burns bright?
If that isn't dreadful enough, then the list of people who are supposed to be the key characters are positively awful. Izuku Midoriya? Katsuki Bakugou? Toshinori Yagi? What is the Administrator thinking, forcing her to interact with the main characters that will determine how the future will go? Don't these people fear the butterfly effect at all? Don't they ever learn about the Chaos theory? How are they still able to stay happy and interact with the people of this world so freely without fearing the repercussions that they have made to this world that was once fictional to her?
She could already feel the butterflies flying in her stomach already. The mere thought of having to interact with Izuku who's still quirkless and Bakugou who's still so arrogant makes her sick with dread. She doesn't want to change the dynamics between those two. They're supposed to fight and solve their own problems by the time they reach UA, and after the fall of All Might. All Might is the one who started the rift between their relationship, no matter how indirect he did so, so if she is forced to interact between the two of them… does that mean that she will have to make those two face each other earlier than the Canon? Or does she have to look the other way and pretend than she doesn't know them and hope for the best?
Oh, but the Chaos Theory… or better yet… the butterfly effect… And not to mention, her own character in mind as well.
She's always the protector, even Mallory could not deny that if she could prevent something from happening, she would. But usually, Kelcie would always depend on Mallory to back her up. Kelcie could always rely on her best friend to make the best of things when they're already dire or just about to head down straight awful.
But Yuuki… the person who's she's supposed to be now…
Can she really pretend to look the other way and not be moved to help Izuku face his fears much faster than the Canon?
Her mind automatically flows to the rubber band theory. Sure… she can probably fix a few flaws they face… but then she's faced with another dilemma – if those two did not go through what they went through now, can she really say that those two will be the same heroes that Kelcie remembers Mallory loves so much? If they don't go through all those hardships and struggles, will those two still be the same lovable heroes who are capable to bearing the bright future where they will stand as Heroes?
Kelcie could already feel the bile growing in her throat. This… this new life of her's… is going to be a troublesome and complicated. She hasn't even met any of the key characters yet, but she could already tell that this new life of her's is going to be far from enjoyable at all.
.
.
.
"Alright, so let's begin." Sayuri starts, as she drove them towards her office using her own personal car. "How are you faring with your new 'parents'?"
"I feel like the administrator should've gave me back my 16-year-old body instead." Kelcie retorts.
It's true – She may be in a 4 year-old-body, but she's still 16 mentally. She knows that they're acting like they are her parents, but can't they tone down their lovey-doveyness down a notch? They do realize that on paper that she's just their adopted daughter not their biological one, right?
She's pretty sure that she has eaten sweet food that will last her for a month. She has never eaten that much sugar in her breakfast before. 4-year-old or not, eating that much sugar for breakfast should be in no way consider healthy at all!
"Those two went overboard, didn't they?" Sayuri deadpans. "Ah, those two. And here I just told them to take it easy on your since it's just your first day here… Oh well, they're the perfect parents for you in terms of age, occupation, and quirk-wise, I'm so sorry about that, Yuuki-chan. I can't change your 'parents' now since it involves a lot of paper works and unwanted attention to the Arima Family."
"That's alright," Kelcie sighs. "at this rate I don't think I could care anymore."
At her closet too… She knows that the general acceptance color for girls is pink and purple… But does the entire clothes has to be all pink colored? Contrary to most people, she favors blue and grey over anything else… Monochrome colors are great as well, but pink?
The color pink is not her favorite. In fact, if anything, if Kelcie does have anything pink, she would usually just give it to Mallory instead. The girl loves pink like it's the color of the goddess of her life. Though in terms of ranking, it falls onto number 7, right with King Explosion Murder being on top.
"Just let me know if you want anything to be changed, and I'll get it for you, Yuuki-chan." Sayuri smiles. "Just make sure its within reasonable reason. I won't be getting you anything that doesn't exist in this world either. We're all from different worlds, so that's bound to happen one way or another. If you have any questions you can ask any of your family, we'll be more than willing to help. And there's also the internet. Which reminds me, you do know what the internet is, right?"
"I took some courses for coding and passed." Kelcie answers, looking out towards the scenery from the window. She never seen the city of Musutafu this close before... and the details too. Well, The Administrator and Horikoshi-sensei sure are impressive. "I'll keep that in mind, thank you, Sayuri-san."
The rest of the drive went on quietly, with some small calls from Sayuri's phone, to which she answered in rapid Japanese and sometimes in English. It made her wonder what sort of work does Sayuri does. She said she deals with a lot of paper work, and judging from the fact that she occasionally uses the word cases, victims, accused, and concerning parties…
"You're a lawyer?" Kelcie asks.
"For a Hero agency and the sometimes the public, yes." Sayuri answers, as her car made a right turn, and soon enters the building's parking lot. "It's a good job to have especially when you need to forge papers to validate our family member's existence. Not to mention, in court, you could also condemn or save people depending on their case and their relevancy to our missions."
Missions, huh… "Say, Sayuri-san?"
"Yes, Yuuki-chan?"
"What's your mission?"
Sayuri stopped the car momentarily to look at her. Her blue eye bore straight to her grey ones. "Yuuki-chan, a friendly advice for you – don't ask any of the family members about their missions unless you know that they're missions are related to yours."
"Oh. Why?"
"Because, if missions clash, then the chances that you'll have to fight each other to death are high. And if it does… let's just say that nobody in the family are allowed to back any of you up in your fight. If you win, congratulations, you're saved. If you lose… well, let's just say that it would be a cold day in hell before the Administrator could finally let you live the life you are living now."
Sayuri then speeds the car and turns to park the car, leaving their conversation ending coldly.
It made somehow made Kelcie think of her mission, and the supposed friendly advice that Sayuri has given her.
Now why does it not sound ominous at all?
.
.
.
Might Tower.
Takahashi Sayuri is a lawyer working in Might Tower.
"You're working in Might Tower." Kelcie begins, flabbergasted. It looks so much larger than she imagined it would be. She has always imagined this building to be as grand and flashy as it is portrayed in the manga, but this… this building in front of her smashes through all of her expectation of the building and just straights out struck her down on the spot.
The huge planet on top of the building is a dead giveaway, and the huge statue of All Might towering in the lobby is another one.
"Oh, you knew?" Sayuri smiles. "Yes – I work for the Symbol of Peace, All Might. Temporarily, I suppose. I'm not his exclusive lawyer, but I do work for him on certain cases. Now then, let's head our way to my private office and then we can continue our talk there."
Kelcie nods, following Sayuri close towards the lobby. She shouldn't be surprised and should've anticipated this knowing how professional Sayuri is… but even so, in all of her short life as Kelcie, she never ever had the chance to enter a grand building as this one. The closest place that she would call as extravagant or anything is the last time when Kelcie and Mallory went to see Hamilton on Broadway with their families during the holidays.
A pair of receptionists greets them, and Sayuri exchanged some words with them as Kelcie stayed back, opting to look around the huge, grand building instead. If Mallory is here with her… she would've start fangirling so hard, that's for sure.
"Yuuki-chan!" Sayuri calls, as she drops a card onto her hand. "Don't lose this. This is your pass. It'll grant you access to my floor and the lobby. Keep it on you at all times, alright? Now come on, you shouldn't be this surprised just by the lobby – my office has a view that I know you kill to have."
.
.
.
Sayuri wasn't kidding about her last comment. The view from the high tower of her private office is simply a scene that many would kill to have. She could see the entire ward from her office, and on the distance, is that Tokyo Tower?!
"Seat down, Yuuki-chan. You look as if your face could be plastered to the window." Sayuri chuckles. At that, Kelcie flushes in embarrassment. But the view! In her short life as Kelcie, she never has ever been at a building this high before! "Now then, back to the discussion on hand. Let's begin with your files. Have you read them all?"
Kelcie nods. "I read them and got the gist of them. But I do have some questions regarding the rules and the requirements though. They're all so vague."
"We'll cover that after this one topic first then." Sayuri answers, as she shuffles the papers that Kelcie knows are all the documents that the Administrator provided for her. "Do you know what Quirks are?"
"It's an Individuality. A special, superhuman ability that an individual can possess. They are generally unique and are an extension of our physical features. It can also be classified into multiple, different categories."
"Good." Sayuri nods. "Then if that's the case – show me your quirk, Yuuki-chan."
At that, Kelcie blinks, turning away from the fabulous view from the high tower.
"…...I don't know what my quirk is." Kelcie responds.
"Your quirk is something that you should be able to do easily." Sayuri prods. "It's not something that is written down on our papers, because it's too dangerous if the information could be misused by our family who has the chances of having missions clashing with ours. Your quirk is something that usually represents yourself, or your desire. It doesn't always have to do anything with your mission."
"But… how do you know that I'm not quirkless?"
"Nonsense." Sayuri counters. "All of us has one, no matter how useless it may see. My quirk, for example, is Thoughtography. I can put the image or words in my mind down on paper easily. It reflects my desire to draw something easily and accurately, you see?"
At that, Sayuri takes a clean sheet of paper and a pen. She touches the paper, took a deep breath, and then her hand moved.
As if her hand is dancing skittishly across the paper, she drew an amazing sketch of Yuuki. Straight down to the details and the shades and the emotion in the paper. It's almost as if her drawing is a picture she taken using a camera using the monochrome filter.
"That's really impressive and all, Sayuri-san," Kelcie says, not knowing how she should convey her confusion at her lack of knowledge of her own quirk. "But… I really don't know what my Individuality is?"
Sayuri paused then, as if she's deep in thought. "Ok, then I suppose your assignment for now is to try to find out what is your quirk. Remember, your quirk represents your desire. What's the last thing you wanted as Kelcie? Try to think of your previous life. For now! I shall deal with my paper work, and you, Yuuki-chan, are going to help me."
"Eh, Sure?" Kelcie turns, looking away from those pool of blue eyes that looks at her as if she's a guinea pig who won't obey orders. "What can I do?"
"Just sort these, these and these by date that the documents are signed. If you came from a place where faiths still stand strong, then the calendar of this world and yours should be the same. Okay then, let's get to work. We can talk more as we work."
And worked and talked they did, from one topic to another.
.
.
.
"So, Midoriya Izuku, Bakugou Katsuki, and Yagi Toshinori. I've looked up on them, and while I haven't got any concrete information as who this Yagi Toshinori is, I do have some information on Midoriya Izuku and Bakugou Katsuki. Those two boys are of the same age with one another and also with you. Their mothers are really close. They're neighbors too, the both of them. What do you plan to do with them?"
"What do I plan to do?"
"Yes. How do you plan to interact with them? They're as close as a cat and a mouse could be considering the fact that Bakugou Katsuki is showing signs of a superiority complex ever since his quirk emerged, you can say that I wouldn't be surprised if Midoriya Izuku ever moves out and part ways with him. His personality is growing up to be quite a rotten one and his quirk and surroundings are certainly not helping. His parents… well, let's just say are trying their best."
"I… don't know. I haven't thought of meeting them yet. I don't even understand what my mission requirement even means."
"Lies."
"Huh?"
"It's not that you don't know the entire thing – you already have an inkling as to what you have to do, don't you? It's there in your eyes. I'm a lawyer, Yuuki-chan, you can't lie to me that easily."
"…I guess so. I just know… that Midoriya Izuku, despite of the fact that he's quirkless now, he's going to be a great Hero in the future. And not just any great hero – he'll be the one surpassing All Might. That much I know."
"That's not a blind conviction. You spoke of it as if it is a fact to you. Whichever world that you came from… I'm sure that you have been blessed to spend some of your life there, despite of how short it may be."
"Huh? What is that supposed to mean?"
"Pish posh, let's not go down that road. Back to the plan. Yuuki-chan, I need details, otherwise, I don't know where I should send you for school."
"…...School?"
"Yes, school. I'm forging your papers, after all. Which reminds me – you won't be attending kindergarten. You'll be homeschooled for now, in order for you to be able to adapt to your new world and your new quirk. You're pretty smart too, so I don't think I should be worries for your academics for now."
"That won't be a problem. In fact, I think you're doing me a favor by not sending me off to kindergarten."
"Off course. You'll be listed as homeschooled, but don't think you're off the hook yet! You still need to plan ahead. You need to think of what you're going to do in the future, and what do you need in order to prepare for the future. I need some details to work around with, and don't worry about me trying to kill you or anything. I finished my mission, and now I get to live the rest of my lives here easily and peacefully."
"Really? That's great."
"Yes. Yes, it is. It's a busy life, this life of mine, but even so, it's still a far better life than my previous one, definitely."

"How did it go with Sayuri today, Yuuki-chan?" Hayami greets her, as soon as she arrives home. Yuuki walks slowly to the sofa, and promptly falls down into it, enjoying the soft embrace of it. It helps that she's a child – the sofa is so soft and bouncy to the point that she feels that she could sink into it with ease.
"I'm dead tired." Yuuki answers. "Not even 24 hours and yet I think she taught me far too much information and would continue to drill me with more information had I not answer by Yuuki and Yuuki only."
"That's… great then?" Hayami falters slightly, only because she knows exactly what her poor child meant. Yuuki is not the only one who has experienced through one of her times as a teacher after all. More often than not, Hayami would be the receiving end of her lectures than Senri, only because Senri knows and plans ahead far more than Hayami could ever could.
But the last phrase meant that it's a good thing, isn't it? That finally meant that she's finally coming to terms as to her current position in this brave new world!
"Oh, that reminds me, Yuuki-chan?"
"…Yes?"
"You'll have a day off tomorrow since I have to take you shopping, but the day after you'll be going with Sayuri again, so you should get ready with whatever task it is that she asked you to do- Hey? Yuuki-chan?"
Only snores answer her.
The sight of the small girl sleeping so peacefully in the soft sofa brought a small smile to her face.
"…Ah, that girl. Oh well, she survived an entire day with Sayuri, so I guess I have to give her this one."
