"Hah… Hah…” 

A young boy breathes heavily as he is carrying someone else at his age on his back, they are unconscious. 

“We will… Make it out of here…” 

The boy looked back as he was having a hard time walking while carrying someone on his back.

There was a corpse back there on the street, an adult, whose hand was holding a knife, he had been shot to death multiple times. 

“You did this?” - The young boy heard the voice of someone, and he turned around, just to see there was someone else standing just in front of him a few steps. 

Without letting the person on his back fall, he stared at the person. 

“Y/n?”

— Present —

“Kallen Fantasy XIII is dropping next week.” 

“Huh, it’s that fast already… Got the money for it?’

“Nah i’m still a few bucks short…” 

It was a peaceful afternoon, school had just ended and you were walking back home with your best friend. 

If I, the author were to describe to you how they look, then the best words to use in this scenario is… Like those “guys” in the romantic manga that is really close to the main character until, looks cute like a girl yet is a guy, and then. Few chapters later it's revealed that they are a girl, or vice versa. 

As for now, you still have no idea if he… she… They are a girl or a guy… But considering the fact that he is wearing the same type of uniform as you, and is very close to you without any awkwardness, you can say it's a comrade.

They have beautiful silver coloured hair that is just a little bit longer than the shoulder, since there's no one to tell him about it, he just leaves it like that. 

“Say, wanna hang out this weekend with the others?” - He asked. 

“Ah… maybe not, I will have to pass again.”

“Aw, that's a shame.”

As you two were walking on the street, which is mostly empty at this point because everybody has already gone back to home, you two are still outside at this time because you got some snacks together. 

“Hey you two…” 

Suddenly you both heard a man’s voice behind, then you both turned around. There is a man there, wearing a thick jacket and looking really dirty as well, as if he was a homeless person, but he is holding a machete. 

“Give me all your money.” 

Your friend sighed before taking off his gloves. “Again?

Poverty sure has bred more criminals nowadays huh… This is the 4th one this month…

Let me have a peaceful afternoon walking back home with Y/n this time won’t you??” 

He looked really angry as he was approaching the man with the intention to harm. 

But you grabbed his collar from behind and dragged him to run away with you. 

“Come on, let’s not fight him.” - You told your friend as he got onto the run with you, without the intention to come back and fight. 

“Hey!!! Get back here!!!” - The man runs after you two.

“Are you sure it’s gonna be alright? I can apprehend him.” 

“No, you’re gonna get us into trouble, besides…” 

From above, someone fell down, right at the thief with the machete and neutralized him, got him pinned on the ground and the machete seized. 

“Agh!!! It’s you!! Candy Man!!!” 

You both stopped running and turned around, because you both knew that you are safe now.

Because a Hero is here. 

— Candy Man —

He has the ability to overgrown his fingernails into candies and they can automatically fall off to his will, forming different types of candies ranging from sweet to sour ones. 

The candies are edible but it’s best not to eat any from his hands… 

—---

“Yo, isn’t that Y/n and [Insert best Friendo name]?” 

The man in the goofy costume as if he had just stepped out from a children show greeted you two with a smile on his face, although his face was covered, you can say the smile was genuine because you have seen him a lot of times already. 

“Arghh!! Let me go!” 

“Quiet down!” 

“It’s good that our neighborhood has a trustworthy Hero like you who is always on patrol these days.” - Your friend thanked him and bowed. 

“It’s nothing really, just something a Hero has to do. Anyways, go home, if there’s dangerous criminals around, not even I will be able to do anything.” 

“It’s alright, I will protect Y/n using my Quirk!” 

… 

Then the awkward silence lasted for a few seconds, with Candy Man’s smile getting more awkward with every second passed by. 

“Just… Don’t do that please, I would hate it if someone like you get into trouble for illegal use of Quirks.” - Candy Man said before he tied up the man with some wire-like candies. 

“Yes yes.” - You said as Candy Man threw some candies at you, which you caught. 

Seems like it was some treat from him. Not saying you wouldn’t eat but… It’s best not to eat candies made from someone’s fingernails and don't have proper wrappings. 

Anyways, after that you two just went home. 

“See you tomorrow…” - Your friend waved at you.

“See you too.” 

You entered the home. It’s quiet at home today.

“I’m home~” 

You said so, even though you know there’s no one at home. But you still have to get things in the house running nonetheless… Making dinner, washing the clothes, taking a shower and doing some cleaning before sitting down at the dining table with freshly cooked meals. 

Then you looked at the family photo… 

It was a happy time… 

When they were- Wait nevermind, your parents are just working overseas as Pro Heroes assistants, don’t worry as they are guaranteed to be safe, as they are very strong. 

Then you turned the TV on. 

“...And just like that, the school year is coming to an end, this year’s generation from UA are all promising Heroes, with some agencies already confirming that they have had contracts with some from the previous internships…” 

Switches channel.

“Apply to our school today, we have a wider range of subject as well as number of courses that focuses on different Quirks-” 

You turned the TV off. 

“...” - You yawned. 

And you went to sleep earlier than usual that night, thinking about the future.

“...” 

You are just having the problem that everyone who’s about to enter high school has to face… Choosing a suitable school, and for someone like you, whose parents are pro heroes… the path seemed clear.

You are thinking about applying to the UA, your academic score is just enough for the qualification, you are also quite confident with your physical abilities as well, like that you could ensure a seat for yourself in the academy. 

…

“Mom always tell me to become a Hero…”

“Becoming a hero…” 

The next day.

Someone knocked on your door. 

“Yes, coming, just a moment…” 

“Weird, I didn’t remember ordering anything…”

When you opened the door, you saw your friend. 

“? What brings you here?” 

“Well… The final exams are next week… Wanna study together? I also have things I need to discuss with you as well.” 

You saw your friend is carrying a handbag full of notebooks and pens. 

“Alright, come on in.” 

He closed the door right after you, and before he took his shoes off, he asked something absurd. 

“Hey Y/n, have you decided which high school to apply to yet?” 

“Not yet. What you drinking? Tea or coffee?” 

“Coffee please, actually, I think I know which one I’ll be choosing now…” 

“Oh? Which one?” 

“Well… Y/n, would you like to join the Assassin Syndicate?” 

“...What?”
