(A/N: Hey hey hey peeps, I hope all of y'all are having a wonderful day and week. I'm gonna attempt to make this chapter longer since my other two are probably pretty short. Just lmk about the length at the end. Enjoy!)
2 weeks later...
It's been 2 weeks since the fateful call in between All Might and Blue Wonder. She and her son August have been preparing themselves for the trip to Japan that'll help decide the boy's future. They have a private jet provided by the government to take them to Japan. They've been so busy with everything else, it has yet to come to their minds that August is yet to have any actual interaction Witt people his age! The only human interaction he's had is with his mom, Star & Stripes, and a couple government officials.
While in a black jeep on their way to the air strip, August had his head in his hands while his mom rubbed his back, "Fuck..." muttered out the boy. In fact it was all he could mutter. For one of the firsts times in his life, he felt fear and anxiety. He's fought robots, sparred with his mother, met the goddamn president, but going to hero college just like in the movies? It was too much for him to handle at the moment, especially in a country he's not used to. He's half Japanese and knows the language, but he grew up an American, different cultures and everything.
"Don't worry sweetie, just take deep breaths and control your emotions okay?" whispered Sofia in the most soothing voice she could muster and then continued, "I know it's a lot, and I know it must be hard for you, but you're one of the strongest boys I know sweetie. Just keep calm so you don't lose control and everything will be okay! You don't want to blow this car sky high do you? Haha! Just be yourself kiddo." She says with a toothy smile.
That's right, their shared quirk works based on their emotions. The higher they feel of a certain emotion, the stronger and more volatile the ability tied to that emotion is. For example, the strength enhancements are based off their anger and so do their energy blasts. It was very difficult for Sofia to train him as a child, and especially through puberty, but they've made tremendous strides over the years, she believes him to be on par with any top prospect of his age.
With a shallow breath, "I-I know mom, it's just... a lot. Just a couple weeks ago, my world was only you, me, and training my quirk/body on the daily. Now I'm about to go to a new country, meet people my age, go to school, and just... ARGHHHHG" yells August throwing his head back, hands glowing in a red aura, threatening to release. Sofia quickly puts her smaller hands over his larger ones and the aura dies down.
"I'm scared mom... I'm excited too!! I get to finally be a hero, meet All Might and Endeavor, make friends and just everything that comes with that. But I'm also scared... is that weird?" He looked over to his mother, hoping to get some of her patented motherly advice. A mix of anxiety and nervousness in his voice, but there's a dash of hope and excitement in his eyes. The confident and happy boy she knows is still in there.
With a deep sigh she says, "Look sweetie, things are always gonna change. I one day went from growing up in the streets of Philadelphia, to being the strongest hero in America, and then another day I went from that to struggling trying to be the best goddamn single mother I can be. I raised you the best I could, with all the love and compassion I could muster. I also know damn well I did not raise a quitter. You are a light sweetie, you're going to be the one to lead this world to a fair and just society, I have no doubt about that in my mind. You'll have plenty of time to get through the, but for now look, we're here!!" Just like Sofia says, a fancy looking private jet with the presidential logo on the side sat on the runway. A pilot with the head of a cat leaned against the door, waiting for the family expectantly.
With a solemn yet hopeful sigh, August looks out at the plane, also staring into the horizon of a new life for him and his family. His dream of being a symbol of Justice just like his mother, it can finally come true. Doubts flooded his brain but were quickly overtaken by his passion for Heroics that has driven him ever since childhood. With a small smile on his face, only one thought came to mind, 'I'll be okay'. Now if that statement is true, they'll just have to find out for themselves.
Clouds pass my elegantly as the plane soars through the sky. Their natural beauty a sight to behold for most, but August had too much on his mind. Important memories of his life, passing by as gracefully as the clouds just outside his window. From all the cooking lessons growing up, to his first energy blast, learning how to channel his quirk to his limbs to make him stronger or jump higher, even the time he befriended a hurt bunny rabbit that he found in their garden.
'You know what, I'm gonna do great! I'm gonna me hella friends, get a girlfriend, be the top on my class, and be the BEST fucking hero I can be' though Augusto, as if he was proclaiming it for the universe to hear. Manifesting the life he's always dreamt of and hoping all goes well.
2 days later... (Now they're speaking Japanese, both fluent)
It's been a couple days since the Masayoshi family landed in Japan. They took residence in a manor provided by some of All Mights connections. It was huge, with everything anyone could ask for. Also, by Blue Wonder'a request, a high tech training grounds was installed in the back yard, with state of the art tech to maximize training a quirk like theirs.
It was the day of the interview a couple of the UA professors. It was a Sunday morning with clear skies, so no need to worry about the weather. August stood in front of the mirror in his room, looking at his reflection wondering if what he was wearing was okay. His hair was in its usual spiky manner, he wore a blue polo shirt, which he swears is a size too small considering his muscles are bulging out a bit, and some light brown khakis, with a pair of blue sneakers to go along with it.
"Shit is this too informal? Or is it too formal??? Ugh whatever, it'll probably be fine" he said with a sigh as he walked downstairs to the main hall to find his mom finishing up some breakfast. She wore a blue button down with a pair of jeans and blue heels, she likes to match.
"Goooodmornimg sweetie *muah * I made your favorite! 10 pancakes flooded in syrup, a plate of bacon, 10 scrambled eggs, y un chorizo con arepa colombiana. Anddd, a cup of OJ!" She says proudly, puffing up her cheeks to emphasize her hard work. Their shared quirk requires a lot of energy for usage so a big breakfast was a great way to start the day.
"Thanks mama, all of this looks delicious!" August just shoved his face right into the food and scarfs it all down within minutes, it was a sight to see really. In the end every plate was wiped clean and the two were out of the house, ready to take on whatever UA had in store for them.
On their way to the car provided to them, they're walking through the neighbor hood and August does a double take on what he sees in one of their neighbors yards. 'Goddamn that has to be on of the most stunning women I've ever seen..." thought the boy, not being able to take his eyes off of her. She sat there in her flower garden in a red skirt and a floral print top. Jet black hair tied up in a spiky ponytail, her dark colored eyes sparkling in the sun, her clothes hugging her in just the right places. Erm... that's what August was thinking at least.
As if she could feel his gaze, the mystery neighbor looks up from her garden and looks back. A blush creeps on her face and she gives a little wave from where she's sitting. Just like the girl, August's face turned into a deep shade of crimson realizing he got caught staring. With a quick shy wave, he grabs his mom and quickly pushes her along, ignoring her confused protests.
"Nice going August, you looked so stupid..." grumbled the boy.
"Oh are you talking about that pretty girl in the garden? Wait.. Do you likeee her??" Teased Sofia.
"Wa-what??!? I-I don't even know what you m-mean" he stammered out, face as red as a tomato, smoke coming out of his head as if he was short circuiting. All that could really be understood after that was gibberish.
"Don't worry kid I was just messing with yah" she said with a hearty laugh, putting her arm around his neck and pulling him down to her height, ruffling his hair.
A long car ride later...
There it was, the best hero school in all of Japan, maybe even the world. Where pro heroes like All Might and Endeavor were made. It was August's dream school, which he was about to interview for, to see if he was worth the chance to study there too.
"Nervous sweetie? Asked Sofia, a soft smile on her face.
"A little... well, okay a lot" admitted August, a small wave of uncertainty washed over his face.
"Don't worryyy, I know you and I know it's all going to be okay" she said with a grin "Just be yourself, go at it with a smile!"
"Alright mom I get it. Thank you" he says gratefully. And with a chuckle, "Heh, it kinda looks like an H."That it I did.
In the meeting room there was a big table where a couple different people sat. All might, Midnight, those he knows, but there's also a rat and a man in a yellow bean bag? What's all that about??
"Im honored to finally meet you Blue Wonder, I'm happy to hear everything is going well" said the bean bag in a monotone voice. "I am profesor Aizawa, for all intensive purposes your sons future teacher in the Hero course."
"Nice to meet you Mr. Aizawa" say the two in sync.
"I am Nezu, the principal of this fine establishment" spoke the rat- wait, the rat speak?
"I Can tell whats confusing you from the look on your face young man, yes I can speak. I was blessed with a quirk of heightened intelligence, how else could a mouse look so damn dapper nyehehehehehe"
Laughed out the mouse while he spilled his tea all over the place. Everyone in the room had a sweat drop.
Aizawa begun, "Well let's get on to business. We have an open spot in our hero course, and you want to fill it. What makes you think that we should use that spot on you? Why do you want to be a hero?" said the tired man harshly. He spared no emotion in the way he said it, but that's business. To him hero work wasn't butterfly and roses, you get caught like a deer in headlights once and at the least you get hurt, at the worst people die. He's not letting someone who can't see that become a hero, he couldn't.
Sofia began, "Well my son here since he was a kid alw-" but Aizawa interrupted.
"I'm sorry Blue Wonder, I want to hear from August here, he's gonna be the one who's in my class." Said the teacher coldly. Midnight giggled because of the 'meep-' that squeaked out of the boy's mouth when he got called up.
All eyes were on August. Expectant looks landed on him, all of different kinds. Aizawa's icy stare, All Might's of encouragement, his mother's of pride, Midnight's of lust for some odd reason, and Principal Nezu's of mouse. Whatever he said here might decide his future in the school, maybe even as a hero.
"Well..." he began. He gripped his knees as if to draw strength. To draw the conviction he's always held in his heart. He just needed to let it out.
"Mr.Aizawa I want to be a Hero because I want to be the person that people look to when they need Justice. In today's society there is too much pain, death, crime, and whatever bad thing you can think of. The kid who just lost his mom, I'll be there. The mom who just lost her kid, I'll be there. Because while they can't get their loved ones back, what they can get back is Justice. I will give them that Justice. That's what I want to be... I will be the Symbol of Justice. I swear it." At this point August was on his feet, irises burning red from the passion in his words activating his quirk. There were no doubts in the minds of anyone in that room that he whole heartedly believed the words he just spoke.
"I think the cutie did an amazing job Aizawa." said the R rated hero, sending a wink to the young man.
"It is true comrade, young August spoke with true conviction becometh of a hero." Added on All might. Both nezu and Aizawa stayed silent. Seemingly pondering the words of their peers and the words spoken by their young candidate. His mother just sat there in silence, a proud smile plastered on her face. The two men, well one man and one rat, shared a look.
"You passed Masayoshi, welcome to UA"
