"…- mmmilk." Said a 4 year old boy after gulping a glass of milk. He smacked his lips with satisfaction.

'I need to take all the advantages I can from my childhood growth period.' He decided.

'Move a lot, eat a lot and sleep a lot. Actual combat training can wait a few years, it's common sense. I don't wanna become a cripple so early in life by over-training a yet undeveloped body, every proper transmigrator knows this!.' He planned internally.

'By the way, reincarnation feels extremely weird. Apparently the physical brain of an infant doesn't really work in the exact same way that adult ones do.'

'After I went through that portal(No Agarion the Luminous…- sadly) I felt myself squeezed. It felt like I was transforming into a small pulp. After that I basically stopped being fully "aware" though not completely. My brain operated then based mostly on instinct and emotion.'

'I was hungry? Cry for food.'

'I shat myself? Cry for diaper change.'

'I was sleepy? Sleep.'

'Although it's not that I can't remember "anything". But instead of completely formed memories I get only fragmented pieces interconnected in a weird way.'

'My mom's smell meant safety and love.'

'My dad's holding me meant fun as he was cooing me and doing upse-daisies.'

'My older brother poking my cheeks nonstop? Extreme annoyance and righteous rage screaming for justice.'

'Though at all times it all mixed and swirled into incoherent chaos and "I" wasn't exactly in control per se.'

'Until suddenly it stopped.'

'Probably my brain made some breakthrough in development, as I was sitting some time ago in a living room, playing with plastic toy hero figures and eating boogies.'

'And suddenly I froze.'

'With an All-Might figurine in hand and a snot-covered finger halfway towards my mouth.'

[Retrospection]

'I need to wash my hands.' He thought to himself. 'And blow my nose immediately. And wash my teeth. I feel absolutely terrible.'

'I waddled then towards a bathroom sink and tried to reach towards it but couldn't reach it. And then I heard:'

"どうしたの〜?おかあさんに教えて?あそこから何かいる?持ってきてあげよっか?" his mom asked.

'The fuck?'

[Back to present]

'I mean I kinda understood what she meant as I learned a bit from watching anime, but still I really don't have the proficiency in Japanese I would expect to have at this point.'

'Children are supposed to learn really fast, but somehow my brain decided to screw that.'

'And I'm NOT going to suddenly start speaking in fully fluent English or Polish(my former native language) yet, lest they think I am possessed or something.'

'I mean, technically I could, but I still have to learn Japanese anyway so it would only serve as "cheating".'

'So I ended with a mind still heavily influenced by toddler lever brain development or the lack of thereof, which caused me to be extremely emotional, volatile and all.'

'But at the same time it lacked expected elasticity and ease of absorbing information like a sponge as children are supposed to. Probably caused by memories and "skills" I already have stuffed into my tiny brain.'

'My progress with learning Japanese is probably slow enough that my parents are possibly considering whether I may be somewhat retarded.'

'At least I think so, guessing from their worried glances they send me whenever they think I am not watching.'

'That's NOT what it was supposed to be!'

'I was supposed to start showing the attitude of a genius early in my life, using my advantage with my former life experience.'

'Instead I'm probably gonna be assigned to some "special" education early in this life…-'

'The humiliation.'

'So my plans for "early preparations for a glamorous hero carrier" must be somewhat postponed as I have to catch up on learning the language I'm going to use through the rest of my life.'

'Although not all of them, I can still take care of my body.'

'Though here also lies a certain problem.'

'Apparently I have lost the genetic lottery pretty bad.'

'My parents aren't the exactly the most beautiful people on the planet, though not particularly ugly.'

'Surprisingly I look eerily similar to my previous life although with distinct Asian features. I even need to wear glasses already. Thankfully though I am not balding…- yet. And also I am a male again. A thing that I welcomed with a certain relief.'

'But also I am not really the tallest among other kids in the kindergarten. Nor the bulkiest. And also compared to many of them there's also one important thing I currently lack.'

"A Quirk ." he exclaimed with longing in his voice.

'They are everywhere.'

'A distinct mark of a society that's built around accommodating(or not) people sporting literal, sometimes bullshit-like level superpowers.'

'And I don't have one…- Yet, I hope.'

'And It's quite difficult to judge for me what that quirk could even be. Usually quirks are hereditary, passed by one of the parents or a mix of them so I kinda can try to make an educated guess for what it's worth.'

'My mom, Yogami Hikari, has a quirk that allows her to grow leather straps from some parts of her body. Like wrists, alongside her legs or from above the chest. Also just like Yaoyorozu's quirk it uses up her calories, so she is unusually skinny. But also she can only make leather straps so it's a really nerfed version of that one.'

I think she uses this quirk for her job somehow but I really don't know exactly how, as I have a hard time understanding what people around me are saying.'

'My dad, Yogami Tomio, on the other hand, has a telekinesis quirk. A pretty weak telekinesis, but still. Apparently, he can manipulate and slowly "move around" very small items. But they can't be too big. Or heavy. And when he does he needs to focus reallyyy hard. And if the object is too big or heavy then he starts to bleed from his nose. I've never seen him successfully use his quirk on anything bigger than a button.'

'Than there's also my big brother, Yogami Masaaki but I've never seen him using his quirk or anything out of the ordinary about him.'

'So. There it is.'
