Wow, this guy liked to write! Shun did his best to keep up with Seo’s scribblings, nodding intently until the boy suddenly got embarrassed and apologized. Still, Shun did his best to keep up with the boy and answer him in kind. 

[color=fff200]~I'm a first-year as well, so maybe we'll be in the same class? Excited to start classes?~ [/color]

[color=BEDE79]“That would be awesome!”[/color] Shun beamed.[color=BEDE79]“And yeah! I’m a little nervous, but it’s the first day of our big hero careers!”[/color] He laughed and looked at the movement of the students that Seo had noticed as well. He wondered who would all be in his class and if he would make a lot of friends. Back in middle school, he had a handful of friends, but his father’s work always kept him busy. Hoji and Soryu were probably busy at a local school back in Okinawa, with the warm sun beating down on them, the sound of insects always filling the air. He thought back to when he was accepted into the hero course, and what his father had said…

[color=red]"Don't talk about her!"[/color] Renji Tanaka's voice was loud and gruff as he pushed himself out from under the large automobile he was working under. [color=red]"Especially not while I'm working! Now hand me that wrench-"[/color] he said, pointing to the tool shelf in the Tanaka garage. The Tanaka Garage was probably the best garage for race cars in all of Osaka, and Renji Tanaka, his father, and even his grandfather had made it such. In his mind, the entire Tanaka Clan would run the business, from father to son until the end of time. Until Shun came up with [i]that[/i] letter. 

[color=BEDE79]"My aptitude scores put me toward the hero track. They say that I have power very similar to another hero, dad. Why won't you tell me about mom's quirk?" [/color]

[color=red]"She didn't have a quirk as I said. She didn't have a quirk, she got sick when you were little and died. So drop it!"[/color] Renji was already up, walking towards his son, yanking the wrench out of his hand. [color=red]"And the hero track? Don't make me laugh. You're going to work here with your younger brother. [i]That's[/i] your track in life son. Not getting yourself killed as a hero for people who don't even care about you.[/color]

Shun's eyes closed tightly as his father went back to working on the car, using [i]his[/i] quirk to stretch his limbs around and into the engine of the car.

[color=fff200]~Sorry, I forgot how to sign excited, so made the sign for forget instead.~[/color]

The tapping of the board shook Shun back to reality and made him realize the gap that was between the two boys. He’d never even thought about the luxury of speech. [color=BEDE79]
“No, no I'm sorry.” [/color]He bowed in deference. [color=BEDE79]“I can’t do or read JSL. And I know it’s probably faster to do that.”[/color] He thought for a moment and then piped up again. [color=BEDE79]“How about this: could you teach me some sign language? That way you won’t have to constantly write on your board for me!”[/color] 

[color=fff200]~Anyway, where are you from? I came all the way from Tokyo, so I get the feeling of getting a bit lost.~[/color]

[color=BEDE79]“Me? I’m from Okinawa. I guess that’s pretty obvious that I’m not from around here!”[/color] He beamed. He was heavily tanned, but still had the facial features of a Japanese boy. 

[color=#d2b48c]“Hey! You students! Stop standing around the gate and head to the auditorium if you have nothing better to do!”[/color] A brash voice came from near the gates, where a tall, bearded man was ranting at several older classmen. He shot any student who locked eyes with him a terrifying death glare. 

[color=BEDE79]“Uh oh. I guess we’d better head to the auditorium before we wind up getting yelled at too…”[/color]
