1 Hirokazu Kayama

"You will be a Hero, I have already declared so. No complaints Hirokazu I am your Father and I know what's best for you. This is what your Mother wishes for as well. You will take the recommendation given to you by your school and then you will come on top of it.

This is your chance to do something in your life and not waste away the talents that you have been born with," the old man says but I honestly am not listening.

He says all the random crap a lot of times so I've learned to just plug my earphones on and let him ramble on. He's my Father sure and I respect him a lot but his greed and ambition knows no bound that he is basically ruining the company mother's father built from the ground up.

Not that I care about any of that. I just want to laze around, do nothing most of the day and maybe read, play, and sleep. Things people my age do except for the socializing part, gods I hate socializing.

"Are you listening to me Hirokazu?" (?)

I mean what the hell do they even do when they socialize? Talk? Can't they just do that online or is it because of the physical contact?

Hmm… I'm 14 years old this year, I think it's time I learn about "physical contact" with the opposite sex as well. I shouldn't, too many problems come with those and I honestly don't think the activities I could do with the opposite sex are going to make any sort of trouble worth it. Just like how I see Heroes doing their jobs too much work.

Besides, I've had an experience with someone of the opposite sex before and though it was fun the trouble it brought me is too much. Maybe it's because of the age gap? Should I try searching for someone my age?

"Hirokazu!? Listen to me damn it!" The old man's shout brought me out of my thoughts. I look at my father, Kaito Kayama, a man around his late 60's with his purple hair turning gray in some parts. He also has sky blue eyes that most of us siblings got.

Honestly, those eyes just remind me of my eldest sibling too much…

I sighed and took out my earphones away from my ears and kept it both in my pocket. "Sorry Father, alright I'll listen," I say to him making his frown deepen less.

"Alright kid, I'll only repeat this once again make sure you listen. I want you to go to U.A. and apply to be a Hero, with the recommendation and your Quirk it'll be certain that you will pass the test." (Kaito)

It took me quite a while before I could process what my Father had just told me but the moment I did, I stood up and shouted, "That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! Why the hell do I have to be a Hero!? No, more importantly, why do I have to go to another country!?"

This is stupid, I have a perfect thing going on here on this island. My family is like a noble house on this island since my grandfather created this place. He made it when Quirks started showing up during his time, it was supposed to be some sort of paradise for our kind when humanity hated us. He named it Genosha, just like the island a comic book character my grandfather liked. He created his own island to help protect his own kind, the Mutants.

It was a good comic, all the action, and stuff.

As I was saying, Grandfather created the island and named it Genosha. This place became a safe refuge for people with Quirks like my family back when it wasn't normal to release fire from your mouth or run faster than a speeding bullet. Grandfather made this place with his Quirk along with many others. They then protected those that came here wanting to escape from the discrimination they have received.

Because grandfather created the island we have become a noble house here… More than a noble house I guess we can be called the royal family? Anyway, we create the laws here and along with the International business my grandfather on my mother's side this time that created the economy on the island is great. Even the tourism industry is blossoming.

Other countries have already considered our island as a new country and we have even been listed as a new addition to the UN. 60 years? That's how long we've been added to the UN as a country.

Father is the one in charge of the operations of Genosha now. Sure Father is greedy and ambitious and he's slowly destroying all these but he's got Mother and my elder brother, so I can't understand why I need to go to another country just to become a… Hero?

"To learn from your sister. You've been too spoiled by your Mother and me, I'm sure you've noticed that and took advantage of it." He said making me say, "No" hurriedly but the way I moved my gaze away from his pretty much admitted that I did, in fact, took advantage of my parents spoiling me.

"Okay, I did. Sorry about the fight this morning but seriously it was all his fault for picking a fight with me." I say as I remember the kid from the next class trying to taunt me to a fight only to end up black and blue. I smirk slightly though I quickly regretted doing that as I felt my head get whacked by my Father's knuckles.

I wince from the pain and also from the admonishment I'm about to receive.

"Hirokazu, why are you so apathetic towards everything? Why can't you make friends? Why can't you make girlfriends? You have excellent genes, excellent quirks -why do you hate to socialize so much?" (Kaito)

I stay silent and listen.

Apathetic? Well, it's true I guess I don't really show them much reaction so it's true that I'll come off as apathetic to others. Can't make friends? I just don't see the point of making friends with people that fears me because of what my family could do and what I could do. Girlfriends? Ugh… I don't see any that interests me and even if there is one I still have to make sure that they're not actually just interested in my inheritance.

Besides, having girlfriends… Sure since grandfather is a pervert… No, it isn't just grandfather. Basically, our whole family are perverts that they made sure to allow polygamy on the island saying that it's to increase the population of the island but I know it's just because they wanted to have their own harems. Even the female members of my family.

Seriously, even my sister. Sure she dislikes the harem part but being a pervert seems to still run through her veins cause last I heard she's running around in Japan as an R-18 Hero. Whatever the shit that is.

Having a harem may very well be the dreams of young men from different countries but seeing it first hand… All the fights between the harem members, it's too much trouble for someone lazy like me. If they could get along on their own without ever needing my help sure but if not then fuck it.

"Not worth the trouble," I say to my Father who sighed hearing my usual line.

"You will go to Japan and live with your sister. There you will learn to be responsible while you also search for your own partner. If you come back in the Holidays without a partner to introduce your Mother and I will finally choose for you.

You will go to U.A. and you will be a Hero. Do you understand Hirokazu?" I nod weakly though very unwilling to be anything close to a Hero who goes around saving people when I could laze around and do absolutely nothing.

"Go ahead and go to your Mother I still have a meeting with your Uncles this afternoon." (Kaito)

"Alright Father," I say without energy as I go out of his office straight to the private elevator that only family members could use. I then quickly arrived at the parking lot where my bodyguards and driver is waiting.

One of them opened the door of the car as he said, "Welcome back sir. Where do we go now?" I nod at him and just replied, "Home" without greeting him back like I usually do. I quickly pulled out my phone to first call my Mother. It rung a few times before being picked up.

[Yes, dear you called?]

"What's with this Hero business Mother? It sounds so stupid." I complained like a whiney brat, I didn't mean to sound like one but this is ruining my plans of having an easy life.

[Fufu, I knew you'd call me soon enough. Your Father has already explained everything though dear, what more would you like to know?]

"I don't believe the reason you're all sending me is that you want to discipline me or any of that. I need to learn the truth about this matter or I won't play along."

It's impossible for them to send me out of Genosha just for "discipline" there has to be a bigger reason. A big enough reason why I need to go to another country, me a Prince?

[Your grandfather has fallen ill.]

"That…"

[Tell no one, not even your sister. I'll hang up now because I trust you understand the problems we are facing if your grandfather dies right now.]

She did as she said and hanged up the call. I nodded even if I know she can't see me, of course I know the consequences of him dying.

I could see the police force patrolling in the streets. They're like the Heroes of the other countries but here in Genosha, they need to be working for the government to be called a pro-Hero.

*sigh* If he truly has fallen ill and the other families learned of it they will surely try to take over Genosha by force. Can't have that happening.

Guess I'll be studying how to be a Hero for the next few years then.

"I need my sleep," I said as a sigh escapes my mouth. After that, I closed my eyes trying to fall asleep thinking of the new life I will soon be having. I wonder what Hero name I should have? The costume I guess as long as it isn't tights then it'll work out for me.

What I didn't notice is the blinding light that enveloped me when the car passed inside a bridge.

"Kid I think it's time we have a talk." (?)

Surprised by the unfamiliar voice I opened my eyes only to find myself in a different environment that I'm supposed to be in. Looking around this place looks like a common living room, it's even got its own sofa and television. I do notice however that there are no doors that could be used for an escape route.

Sighing in defeat I ask, "What do you want?" I look at my captor and frowned. "What the hell?"
