In a Superhuman Society

by Stonecreek

A world with quirks means its people are wind up rather quirky. Whether heroes, villains, or somewhere in-between, every BnHA character deserves to have their story told. These are but tiny 100-word snippets of their lives, told one a day, every day, in 2023. Newest chapter: Mina Ashido is a vivacious hero in training. She's equally enthusiastic about her classmates' love lives.

A.N. — You'd think all these prospective hero students would have a moniker in mind to go by as a pro. Nope. Today's birthday boy is one of the first years who's using his own name as a placeholder. Personally, I like the sound of "The Windswept Hero: Bellows." Happy birthday, Kosei Tsuburaba!

As one of 1-B's "common sense kings," Kosei knew he'd struggle to gain a foothold in the pro ranks once he graduated. Although versatile, his quirk was easy to overlook. Kosei often found himself boxed in metaphorically — seen only as support, incapable of succeeding on his own. Physically, too — soundproof walls were useful when all he wanted was to rant or sob in indignation.

So, competitive person Kosei was, he wanted to choose a hero name to boldly announce his presence. The problem was: how do you jazz up air? Kosei still didn't have a solid answer to that question.
