Adam Carter was a professor of history at Harvard University, passionate about ancient and modern history and a great lover of literature.
He studied the outstanding figures who had left their indelible mark on history and the teachers with intense passion.
Sometimes he imagined some of his eternal heroes, their reactions to that time, and the impact they had on this world.
From time to time, between the classes he taught, he wrote epic and fantastic stories with characters greatly inspired by immutable figures of the past. His stories resembled magnificent tales but written with an irresistible depth and literary quality, the themes were in tune with the times and resonated with those who read.
Thus, after gaining a reputation in the literary and artistic sphere, he published his masterpiece which won him a Nobel Prize for Literature. The work was called The Summoner, a mythical, historical and philosophical fresco on the current conditions of our time and the impact of history and literature on it, via figures from ancient and modern history. This 785-page novel was a true masterpiece.
Adam was currently at a press conference where he was talking about his work, talking to some of the most popular historians and writers of the moment about the book :"TheSummoner". He spoke with enthusiasm and passion, explaining his vision and the importance of the past in building the future.
"The past teaches us important lessons, we are literally the fruit of these valiant men and women who have shaped our present. Thanks to their contribution to society, we could ensure a better future for our children..." he explained with a serene smile.
"Of course, we cannot deny that certain events and people in history are tinged with darkness, we cannot ignore this but this must not be an obstacle to the recognition of the past in the construction of the current society. Without them, we will not be what we are," he finished as the audience applauded.
After the speech, he was chatting with one of his friends. Matthew Morris, Professor of Art History at the University of Oxford.
"You can't imagine, my son spends his afternoons watching his Japanese cartoons, he's addicted!" laughed Matthew as Adam shook his head with amusement.
"It's a very popular entertainment in the world, Japanese anime," Adam explained with a small smile.
"I tried to watch one of those anime with my son, My Hero Academia I think? I thought I'd find the paste of my comics but it's not really the case..."
"I know this manga thanks to my daughter, who loves the character of Ochaco Uraraka, but I haven't explored much, anime doesn't really interest me," Adam says, scratching his neck.
"Our children call us library mummies, cruel but true..." Matthew sighed before the two of them burst out laughing.
However, fate could be a little strange, even cruel...
Armed men, terrorists, had entered the room... They had shot several people, indiscriminately, indiscriminately.
The sound of gunfire was excruciating and drowned out the screams of the guests...
PAW!
PAN!
followed by the "click! " of the weapons that were loaded. The group of terrorists fled, leaving behind them the cries of distress of some people and police sirens.
...
"Adam!! My brother! I beg you! Stay with me!" cried Matthew, sobbing as the paramedics rushed in.
Adam's mouth was bloody, his stomach and lung was pierced by three large-caliber bullets.
"Adam! Don't close your eyes! You just received your award, Michelle is proud of you, you have a family that wants to see you alive!"
Adam nodded weakly, his eyes staring into space... While the paramedics put him on the stretcher.
He died in hospital at 9:30 p.m.....
The world had just tragically lost one of its new rare pearls.
**************************************
Along with this tragic news, in a world where 80% of the population owned an Quirk, a brown-haired woman gave birth in a hospital.
Her husband supported her as best she could. The woman screamed in pain.
"It'll be okay Mrs. Uraraka, one last effort!" The doctor smiled.
The deliverance came and the doctor smiled with joy as he held the beautiful baby in his arms.
"Magnificent! Congratulations!" he smiled as he handed the baby to the mother, who smiled tenderly and tiredly.
"What a handsome boy..." said the father with a happy smile.
"We're going to call him Gojo..." said Mrs. Uraraka as she hugged the baby.
Mr. Uraraka nodded, his eyes shining with tenderness in front of the brown-haired little one.
"Welcome Gojo Uraraka..."
