The second video began.

Pro-hero: Kido
Endeavor Agency

"He-hey! Sir! Mister Kido--Pro-hero Kido...sir!"

"Yes? What do you want?" The hero asked, albeit with a snarky attitude.

Tsukauchi scoffed a little bit. Of course he was snarky. He's from Endeavor's agency afterall. Everyone from there has a stick lodged so far up their butt that it makes their positive personality traits decline.

Not to mention the head boss of said Agency was probably the stick mentioned.

"Do you think that a quirkless person could become a good hero?" The voice had a hopeful tone to it.

There was a short pause in the audio. Then deep breaths were heard, as well as some counting.

Was Kido really counting to ease his anger?  Or was he annoyed and trying not to smack the--

"Listen..." An elongated sigh was heard. The police officer could almost hear the hero rubbing his forehead in annoyance. "Someone like you should not be wasting my precious time on this stupid question."

That was kind of rude, Tsukauchi thought, with a scrunched up face. He looked like he just ate a lemon and found it quite sour.

Not far from the truth. Some of the words told to the owner of the voice were quite sour.

There was a thirty-eight second pause in the video.

"So....so just to clear things up. You're saying quirkless people can be a hero?"

Tsukauchi almost wanted to laugh at the hope in this person's voice. He wanted to laugh because the voice was so persistant. And even though the hero was mildly annoyed, the voice had no sense of getting killed by a hero who went to Endeavor's agency and then someone blaming their poor death on collateral damage.

Believe him, people have done that.

Collateral Civillan deaths were commonly caused by the fire users agency.

Unsurprisingly.

Tsukauchi sighed, awaiting the annoyed heros response.

"I--what? No, Gosh no. That is--no one can be a hero except for those with powerful quirks. Quirkless people are not on that spectrum. Quirkless people are worse than trash. Being a hero means climbing the ranks and you can't climb them if you're freaking trash. You cannot be serious with these questions! They're stupid! Quirkless people are below dirt. Dirt people cannot be heros!"

Tsukauchi winced. That was painful to hear.

Suddenly a barely audible mutter could be heard from the video. Tsukauchi paused it and then put his volume up to seventy-six percent.

He listened closely to the audio, closing his eyes as he leaned into the speaker.

A soft voice could be heard saying, "Don't you think they've heard that enough?"

It was a sassy thing to say, sure. But the detective could hear the pain and sadness in that one sentence. He paused the video again before taking out his notebook.

He jotted down the quote before adding questions under it.

Possibly knew someone quirkless?
Quirkless person?
Empathy quirk?

Tsukauchi didn't know why but he had a feeling that only someone who knew firsthand what a quirkless person went through, could be so emotional when saying something like that. That one sentence seemed so heartfelt, yet so broken.

I wonder if a family member is quirkless.

Tsukauchi didn't want to waste anymore time before turning the audio back down and un-pausing the video.

"Sorry. Um...do you think--can someone with a mutant quirk or--or a mental quirk become a hero?"

"God. Again with the stupid questions? You're almost more annoying than a quirkless wannabe."

Tsukauchi grabbed a stray paper on his desk. He was reporting this hero for being so intensive to a civilian. Kido needs to go through another five to ten classes on how to treat civilians and other humans with politeness.

"Soooo...does that mean--?"

"No, those losers cannot be heros either. They're not strong enough. Not good enough to pass the ranks. Gosh, you're so stupid for asking these questions. I can't believe I'm wasting my time on you."

Angry footsteps can be heard walking away before a breath of relief was heard from the voice.

Tsukashi pauses briefly. He honestly had no idea how to react. This was someone, who was asking genuine questions--questions that take up less than three minutes to ask and get answers for. And these heros were getting angry for no reason.

Tsukauchi swore that Kido would have even went as far as to kill the poor person if he had not walked away then and there.

Leaving the voice high and dry.

That was sad in general, but leaving him was better than being sucker-punched by a furious pro hero.

Gosh, Tsukauchi wanted to sucker-punch a few pros at the moment. He could make it seem like an accident too. Arm spasms weren't not rare.

Totally.

I mean, Endeavor's arm always spasms when he is with his family. Its a disease that affects one in thirty-four jerks.

Note the sarcasm.

Tsukashi played the video and the voiceover started immediately.

"Heyy, again..."

There was an awkward pause, where they recollected themselves.

"So um...that encounter was a little scary. Not for the faint of heart. Anyways. I just want to say that his ideals are wrong. Super duper flawed. Mega flawed. You get the point. Pro-Hero Kido probably just had a rough day though! ...Yeah.... ahem--anyways! I want to say that again, quirkless people can be heros! Anyone can be a hero! Including mental quirk users! I mean, collateral damage would be at an all time low if more mental quirk users became heros! Less distruction and everything! And mutant quirks! They're...."

Tsukauchi sucked in a sharp breath. He was slightly nervous about what they would say about mutant quirks. Many people with mutant quirks are shunned and hated.

"...so AWESOME!! I love seeing people walking with horns or wings or tails and box heads! Same with multiple limbs! Maybe crossover DNA with an animal? Or just a quirk that affects appearance! I mean, the possibilities are endless!! Like Ingenium! He is soooo cool! Plus he has engines coming out of his elbows! It isn't defined by today's standards of 'normal' quirks. It effects his life, like the clothes he buys, as well as how people treated his appearance-effecting quirk before he was famous. He's even talked about mutant quirk discrimination in a couple of videos! I'll put the links in the video description, make sure to check them out. But overall, appearance doesn't define you. You're awesome the way you are already! You can be anything you want to be! I have faith in you! Until next time! Make sure to have a great day!"

Tsukauchi smiled. He loves this person's optimism towards civilians and all kinds of quirked and non-quirked people. The world needs more people like this person, thought Tsukauchi.
