Quirk check and Unexpected information
Next day,
After arriving at the orphanage yesterday, everyone helped prepare for tomorrow's event, even the head of the orphanage came and helped.
It seems that the person who will come tomorrow is quite important considering the preparations that have been made, and I think he is someone from a government agency that consistently recruits orphans who have quirks. HPSC maybe?
To be honest, this is quite risky. And if not used properly, it can be a double-edged sword.
During the event,
The nuns and caregivers greeted the person, while the orphanage children lined up neatly for the 'quirk' check.
"Kira!" - an officer called my name and signaled me to come in.
Honestly, this is stressful. Because this is where my destiny is sealed, if you don't have the power, you will only become a hero's cheering team.
It's not like I'll just die if I don't have a quirk, but who doesn't want to have a quirk in this world?
Yes, some do refuse, but I'm not one of them.
After entering the doctor's tent, he did some tests and x-rays, I just followed the procedure and came out right away. I was quite curious, but it seems the test results will only be shared with the nuns and the caretakers.
That's a pretty good move, to say the least. Due to the obsession of the children in this world, if they didn't have the quirk it would destroy them greatly. Some might even defect to become criminals.
And maybe that's why even though heroes act every day, evil still exists.
The event continues and ends at sunset.
The atmosphere is quite tense right now, but that's understandable because I also feel the same way.
However, as much as possible I balance my expectations. So that if I have a quirk I don't get carried away and otherwise I don't despair.
It's already 11 p.m. But there are still many children who open their eyes, ah, they are too worried.
'Good night loser' - I cursed in my mind trying to cheer myself up.
Next day,
When I woke up, I was greeted with quite a shocking sight. Some children had woken up, but most of them with tired red eyes. They stayed up all night.
It's quite worrying to see how enthusiastic they are.
Orphanage activities will continue as usual, and this afternoon the orphans will be called one by one to notify the results of the quirk checks.
Afternoon,
Many children gathered in the hall of the orphanage waiting for their names to be called, some looked nervous and some looked confident.
I don't know all the kids here. I only know a few minor troublemakers who add to the work of the nuns.
Ah, evil seeds.
The 2nd floor is filled with several older kids, most of them have quirks, I didn't even see anyone who didn't.
Again, one of the sad things about this place, if you don't have the quirks, you'll be considered a loser. So, it's not surprising that those who don't have quirks will be shunned and tend to be aloof.
Our names kept being called one after another by one of the nuns, when it was my turn I went straight to the room where the check results were announced. The room was very neat, like one level below the doctor's room you could say.
Inside, a person with round glasses sat on a chair opposite another empty chair.
The person asked to sit down and started to talk.
He spoke in such a sweet way, too sweet that even politicians could be embarrassed.
He began to explain what a quirk is, what are the positive effects of having a quirk, and even its negative effects.
He explained in a way that a kid my age could understand. He also mentioned a few heroes as references, and that's when I realized.
Does someone who doesn't have a quirk exist as a hero in the original story?
And who is the gentle hero?
I keep listening even though my mind tries to remember whether such a hero exists.
And the most important moment came,
"So, Kira, what are you going to do when you have your quirk?"
"Uhm, I-I still don't know." - I answered nervously.
Ah, now I'm thinking, what will I do when I have a quirk?
Be a hero or a villain?
