A Quiet Day

I woke up the next day feeling renewed. I was going to going to make something of myself. I did not care whether my wishes were defective or burdens. They were mine and mine alone. I will use them to crawl my way to the top or die trying. But I have no intention of dying. I was going to succeed.

I prepared myself and got ready. I wouldn't be a good transmigrator if I couldn't get ready by myself at an early age. I got downstairs to meet my parents, having what seemed like a pleasant conversation over breakfast.

"Hello, sleepy head. I hope you had a great sleep. Come join us, we have something to tell you, " she invited

"Nice. Looking good as always. You take after your dear handsome dad, " my father chimed, managing to somehow compliment himself while complimenting me.

I joined them for breakfast with suspicions because my dad kept looking at me and a huge creepy smile, which was not unusual at all he did this on a daily basis, but this time, he was silent. This added to the creep factor. I've never seen this man this quiet in my life, and all of a sudden, he is not talking. And there was also a glint in his eye that pissed me off to no end. It was one of those 'I know something you don't know' looks. Damn. What a prick.

Just tell me what it is already. They had something to say, but they seemed to have made some sort of agreement prior. I quickly finished my food because maybe they would tell me when I was done. It was a delicious breakfast like a full-on five-star dish. I know no one asked, but it had to be said.

I guessed correctly after I was done, my mother asked me if I was satisfied. I said yes, not forgetting to compliment her cooking.

"Good. I'm glad you liked it. I will prepare something every better for you next time." She promised

*cough* *cough* My father cough loudly, trying to signal that he wants in this promise of even better food.

She reposed with a smile, and then they shared a nod.

"Okay son, we've got great news." My dad said with great joy.

"Now that you have awakened your quirk, you can start going to school now," he beamed.

"Isn't that great? We were worried about your awakening because whenever the members of a certain someone's family unlocked their quirks, they cause huge destruction and damage, " she said, staring lasers at my dad.

They played around a bit to lighten the mood, but though they tried to hide it, I could tell that they were checking my reaction when they mentioned quirks and awakening to see if I was uncomfortable or anything. It was nice but I'm not uncomfortable. Why should I be? I have already made up my mind to master this quirk and make it mine.

"Seriously? Dad destroyed a place when he awakened his quirk." I asked with surprise because this untrustworthy and clumsy-looking guy has such a powerful quirk.

"Not just him. His siblings and father all threatened to burn down entire towns during their awakening. A family of troublemakers if you as me." Mum sighed.

"Wow. Wait, you guys never told me what your quirks were, " I said

"Oh that, it's nothing special. I can petrify and unpetrify living things with my stare and can also petrify my body for protection. Your father can create and control fire, " my mum informed

"Hahaha, what do you have to say now? Are you impressed that your dad has such an awesome quirk?" My dad boasted.

"Wow. That's amazing. The petrification ability. The flame control is overplayed and cliche, " I said to annoy my dad.

"What do you mean overplayed and cliche? Do you know how awesome and powerful my flames are? You little pipsqueak." My dad stated angrily.

Didn't realize my parents had such a history. I wonder how strong they are now. Interesting.

However, my joy was short-lived when I was reminded of something else. I have to start going to school. And knowing my mum, I can't talk my way out of not going, no matter how smart I am. I have to spend my years with barts. Ugh. Can I skip this part? Maybe a time skip to my teens. When the action starts.

The rest of the day was uneventful, I just spent most of it playing hide and seek with my dad. I mean, he was looking for me, but I was avoiding him. He has too much energy for my liking. My mum just chilled and relaxed on the couch, watching some sort of telenovela. She seemed very engaged, I could hear her gasping and ah-ing whenever I passed by. Would not have guessed she was into those kinds of shows.
