Chapter 2 - A World in Toddler's Eyes

A world set where about majority of the human population has gained superpowers called "Quirks" (個性, Kosei) as a result of recent human evolution. Quirks vary widely and have the possibility of being genetically inherited and most Quirks are generally small in scale similar to a physical deformation result by genetics, but some exhibit near god-like ability resulting to the complexity of this world . Almost every Quirk has some sort of physical drawback, whether it be a usage limit or self-injury. 

The first officially recorded was manifested by a newborn baby in Qing Qing City, China with the ability to radiate light from its body dubbed as the glowing baby. After this phenomenon, many people around the world began to manifest different kinds of superpowers, not just at birth, but also during puberty. These powers became known as "Meta Abilities".

The dawn of this extraordinary era was marred by a breakdown of society caused by the sudden onslaught of criminals, dubbed villains, empowered by their newfound superpowers, as well as ordinary people being prejudiced against the new minority. It suddenly became impossible to define one's self as a normal person, laws and human rights were thrown into constant debates, and the progress of civilization came to a sudden halt.The announcement by the researchers proved to be reckless and premature, as it caused division among people and chaos to grow. Meta Ability users were labelled as monsters or diseased, and as a result, Anti-Meta groups rose up with the objective of exterminating those with Meta Abilities.

Currently, roughly 80% of the people who make up the global population possess a Quirk, and that percentage continues to increase. the number of individuals without a Quirk has been rapidly declining in population, indicating that now less than 20% of the world's population is Quirkless (無個性, Mu Kosei?, lit. "No Individuality").

 Sora gathers his thoughts about the information he collected during this past years. He is near the age 4 in which most children exhibits different qualities and changes in their body as a result of their first manifestation. A person's Quirk will normally manifest anytime and sometimes even straight after birth, such as those in the cast with physical morphication or mutants. although there are late bloomers who don't develop their power until a bit later in life. 

A Quirk's manifestation tends to happen very suddenly, often to the sudden change in a child's emotion such as fear, grief, surprise, anger, joy and etc. Sora haven't experience such changes and he worries that he might be diagnosed as quirkless which is such a huge problem living in a world that promotes strength as shown in the life of Midoriya Izuku. 

His life as toddler comprise mostly of sleep, eat, being taken care of his needs such changes is astronomical to an adult who carries his life on his own. It's a warm experience most of the times being carried in their arms even my father who just came home from his work has spare time to interact and carries me. A touch of a different emotion since it his first time experiencing this with memories and having a father figure which he can leans on.

His first crawl at age 8 months is like a party to his parents since most of the time he is just busy looking around and staring when he is not done to his usual duties as a toddler. Sora's contemplation of his first word at age 11 months is a challenge since his parents already starts the challenge of teaching him words in an attempt to mimic and earns the price of his first words. Each of their time of caring for him is a chance to gain his vote. Should I go with Mama or Papa? Or All Might or SMASH!!! since his parents is a fan of him and most of the news is all about him. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! so troublesome having an adult mind as child. Well I'm a fan of All Might too. His conviction and devotion in promoting himself as a Symbol of Peace through his relentless effort in capturing villains and rescuing citizens for those in need. I kind of relate to him because of his pure conviction and hard work in pursuing his dream but the thing I like the most in him is that it shows that even he is strong, compassionate, energetic and charismatic he is human too. He is clumsy and a meat ball and kind of a dunce to his student but that shows that he is not perfect, it illuminate more his best qualities. I compare him to the mythical and legendary heroes in the books not wearing a cape which is contrary to most heroes that was just a type of profession in this world. My end of contemplation at my first year as a child and articulate the words Mama for the first time then provide a runner up bonus of Dada to my father for his relentless effort and dedication. AHHHHHHHHH!! BEING A JUDGE IN THIS COMPETITION SUCKS!!!!!!!

As days turned into weeks, months then years, Sora adapted to his new life. He learned to walk, talk, and play, all while absorbing the vibrant world around him. His parents were kind and supportive. Near age 4 while reading a book titled a history of a quirked society in his room which was bright and colorful, adorned with various books, toys and posters of famous heroes, he was contemplating on what to do in his future that may affected by his existence then suddenly his mother called then he close his book and grasped a plush toy shaped like a popular hero, All Might. Upon going down the stairs and enters the dining room, his mother serves him a strawberry shortcake which she bought in addition to the cake she will give to Grandma Kanae next door as a thank you to the peaches, apples and other various fruits she picked in her garden. 

After finishing the cake and the green tea I sat in the sofa calming myself the the information that I gather yesterday night. The manga and anime that I like such as One Piece, Bleach, Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, KTHR and even the shoujo that I know was not spared. At least before I die I finish My hero Academia but my only regret Hunter X hunter, that old hiatus fossil who outlive me. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! should I redrew them and have a side job which will provide me an income but wait F*CK!!!!!!!!!!!!! my only and greatest problem in doing it is my artistic talent is null and void. Who anime geek didn't dream to draw and write a manga AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! but my artistic talent is SH*T!!!!!!!. I can't even draw a f*cking nose nor a frontal face even stickman looks unbalance HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! well art too takes time, hardwork and talent which those three I didn't possess nor provide. BULLSH*T!!!! if my academic knowledge is 10 then my artistic talent is 10 too but with a minus sign HAYYYYYSSSS. AHHHHHHHHH !!!!! The nightmare at my prior childhood during my third grade, since I was close to my teachers even students called me teacher's pet by playing as a good student she enters my name in a poster contest and F*CK!!!!! the nightmare begins. The theme of the contest is to show an appreciation in caring to our planet Earth. HUHUHU!!!! I draw a typical theme of a dove carrying the planet Earth below it are a gentle caring hands that hold the Earth as a support to the dove. F*CK!!!!!! the result is contrary to my expectations, the dove is white with silvery colors but the looks like a failed chimera experiment of a turkey , vulture and Oculudentavis. It looks so tired and stress carrying our planet AHHHHHHHHH !!!!!! even the planet Earth, it's good that even it's not a circle I can defend it through scientific reasoning that the earth is not a perfect circle which a common mistake😁😁 but the drawing and color looks likes it's any minute now will enter it's doomsday 😭😭😭 .The continents looks like broken puzzles that had been smashed by playful giants. Even Antarctica at the bottom of the Earth is running it's dear life hiding it's existence not to be crushed. Then those hands that not look gentle at all. They look like a witch hands trying to strangle the planet to it's last breath of it's existence AHHHHHHHHH !!!! the wake up call that time was so depressing. Their poster looks colorful and lively while mine HAYYYYYYS the message is contrary to its theme even calling it abstract cannot salvage it. As child back then who convicted himself to the oath of his dreams held no time for art to draw.

Sora's parents took him to the local pre school at age 4 and meddling with kids with this age is not a fun adventure. A lot of noise is created inside the four corner of this room, most children's are laughing but some are crying missing their parents and a lot of playing while I'm too busy developing my artistic talents even sensei praise me even she says my drawings are good HUUUUUUUU!!!! finally I have the artistic talent but when I reply to her why she likes my drawings suddenly there's a constipated pain in her face 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 AHHHHHHHHH!!! You are lying sensei. She just praising I'm doing good things at my own pace my drawings they beyond salvageable even being a child is not an excuse at least my coloring is quite nice 👍 👍 👍 surpasses in my age group but bullsh*t who cares about coloring 😭😭😭😭😭.

One weekend his parents decide to go to a local park, they do it when they have spare time which he is kind off he didn't like. The adult mind which has the memories of this world knows how dangerous and troublesome this world is. There is mister potato head who likes to play Pokemon gotta catch them all!!! And villains that always remember your birthday and likes to surprise you with an idea of an attack suddenly and commit various crimes mostly robbery. There he watched children play with their quirks. Some could create fire, others could manipulate water, and a few even had the ability to fly he however, had no quirk—at least, not yet. He often wondered if he would develop one as he grew older. But for now, he was content to simply enjoy the wonders of childhood. 

As the months passed near the age of 5, Sora continued to grow, both physically and emotionally. As he looked at the mirror reflecting a boy with ash grey hair with calm observing viridian eyes has a toddler well rounded physiques he learned to embrace his uniqueness. One day, while playing with a child in the sand box, Sora enjoying building structure felt a strange sensation. It was as if a warm vapor was enveloping the sand structures through his hands. He closed his eyes starts to panic then his father who was talking to one of parent's child in the park suddenly jump up and try to console him to take deep breaths and think of water flowing in his hand even my mother pick the child that was playing near to me with a panic struck to her face upon seeing the manifestation of my quirk. Then suddenly I felt my vision went blank too exhausted to maintain the concentration that my father wants me to continue and fainted.
