"Dad! Papa!" 

A four year old boy, named Cyno Akamine, had come running into the living room with a stack of comic books in his arms to show to his fathers.

"Dad! Papa! Look, it's a wizard!"

"Shhhh, I see that Cyno! You like wizards don't you?" 

His Dad chuckled, as Papa was feeding his baby sister. 

"Mhm! I'm going to be the best wizard! Once I get my quirk, I'm going to be the bestest, most powerful wizard ever! Believe it, Dad!" 

A few months before he turned four, around the time that his sister was born, his dad had introduced him to wizards and magic via comic books, tv shows, movies, etc. that have been around since a little before quirks showed up. 

Cyno had adored the idea of spellcraft, and even dressed up as a wizard for Halloween that year. He loved pretending to do magic with toy wands and fake beards, and his dads encouraged this idea all the time. The day his sister, Fusaki, was born, he gave her a wizard figurine as a gift, but his papa had held onto it for safekeeping. (Considering that a newborn baby can't really play with a action figure.)

His dad smiled warmly as he rambled on about the wizards in his comic books.

"Oh, I believe you. Come on, we can go watch some spellcasting while Papa feeds Fusaki."

The two of them left and headed to Cyno's bedroom, turning on the television and putting on Cyno's favorite wizard show as his dad held him in his lap. 

"Look, Dad! I'm gonna be better than that!" 

"Heh, I know. You'll be the best wizard in the world, and the best pro hero too."

His dad grinned as he told him this, hugging Cyno tightly as he continued.

"Everyone will be cheering you on, kiddo! Cyno, Cyno, Cyno!..."

------++++++------

"Cyno? CYNO AKAMINE!!!" 

Cyno awoke from his dead slumber, drooling on his school desk and blinking awake. 

"Oh my GOD, Skye. What?!"

He glared at the person who woke him up, who happened to be his best childhood friend, Skye Hano. 

"Oh shut up, you're drooling. Besides, we have class now." 

He sighed as he sat up, wiping the drool from his mouth. 

He and Skye had met in elementary school, around the time when he first got his quirk. Skye was the one who walked up to him and offered to be his friend, and the two hit it off immediately. They had enjoyed his Sorcery quirk, considering he could warp the space-time continuum so they could play on the playground a bit longer, or teleport juice boxes from the cafeteria while they were working on quizzes.

"So, Cyno, what school are you applying for? I'm definitely going for U.A, they can't deny a quirk like this!" 

Skye tapped a page in their notebook, a small grenade spawning out of it. 

"SKYE HANO. WHAT HAVE I SAID ABOUT SPAWNING GRENADES IN CLASS?!"

"A-AH, SORRY TEACH!" 

Cyno chuckled at his friend's stupidity. He was applying for U.A too, since the teachers there might be able to help. 

Skye never really thought things through all the time, and he noticed this often. 

He raised both hands in the air, swirling both in a circular motion until he whispered "Time", pausing time as he got up and walked into the hallway, grabbing a drink from the vending machine and heading back to class.

He resumed time, sitting back into his chair.

Class resumed as usual, as Cyno looked at his phone underneath his desk, texting a online friend of his.

----------------

Cyno put his phone back in his bag, now paying attention to class with a smile. 

If they both got into U.A, they could not only learn how to utilize their quirks, but also meet for the first time in real life.

Now he had to get in.
