Chapter 3 - C3: Being a Brat again

Im happy that I came here as a young kid and not be reborn as a baby. I'm a patient guy but I would not want to spend my earley years here as a baby. I dont know how those reincarnators that my friends have read stayed sane just lying in their crib doing nothing whit just their thought's. Props to them but me, naa-aah.

So after an enjoyable breakfast with my family, I grabbed my school stuff that was prepared yesterday and went to school. Mom drove me there with Fuyumi and me in the back.

I wasnt nervous like what kids usually would be if it was their first day, I'm excited actually. Nothing deep really, its just that I'm going to see and meet different people in many different ways. Because of quirks, changes in personality and physically traits are often seen when a person is born or awakens their quirk especially for those who have mutant related quirks. I remember seing those differences in the anime when I watched a few episode.

With a few hugs and kisses goodbye from mom and Fuyumi, I went to class. Thankfully, mom didn't notice anything weird or different about me. Its probobly because of how Touya and me act the same. Maybe Touya had to mature early because of a father like Enji but, I dont realy know. I'm just relieved that mom doesn't have suspicions.

The rest of the day so far was both interesting and boring. Its kinda interesting spending time with brats when you are one yourself and our teachers are genuinely good people. They have lots of patience with the kids and are good at dealing with their mischief and quirky personalities. I kinda have to act my part as a brat to not arouse suspicion but not to the point that they would think I'm stupid. The lessons are boring though, afterall, I was a highschool student before this.

Mom and Fuyumi picked me up early afternoon after the last class. Saying goodbye to my teachers and a few kids I befriended, we went home. I told mom how my day went when she asked while going home. I dont dont know if there were any characters from the show in my prep-school, I was kinda looking forward to meet any of them. Granted, I dont know any of them, afterall, the show focused on my younger brothers generation and the important points around them.

We got home and I played a lot with Fuyumi as I promised while mom went to the market to get ingredients for dinner. She trusts me enough to be responsible and take care of things in the house while she goes away for a bit. Mom got home, prepared the food, have a pleasant dinner, spend a bit more time with my sister and mother, then wash-up and go to bed.

Thankfully Enji comes home late due to work, so I wont be seeing the grumpy old man and ruin my day.

Thats how I spent my first day here and that continues on for a few weeks. Thats ideal because I want to get use to my new reality. Even on weekends Enji goes to work early and arrives home late. The only interactions I had with the man was sparce to say the least. I acted like Touya would when he sees his father to not be suspicious but I doubt he realizes anythink because of the general lack of care that he has. Even Fuyumi at some point stopped getting her fathers attention and just stares at him in wonder when she does see him.

Mom still walks eggshells around the man which was disheartening. I wish I could do something to make it all better but I doubt mom would take me seriously. Afterall I'm still a kid and she would pretend that she's okay so that I wont worry. There is no use talking some sense to Enji too.

Because of how my father acts, I do my best to make my mother and sister happy. I would spend and play a lot with Fuyumi, doing my best to fulfil her wishes but not to the point to spoil her. I dont want her to grow spoiled and demanding afterall. I would talk to my mother, make stupid childish jokes and help her with the chores around the house. Enji hired a nursemaid when my mother got pregnant with me but left after mom got used to taking care of me and Fuyumi. You would expect for a husband to be their and atleast take care of his pregnant wife a bit but thats not him though, not Enji.

His goal to be the number1 hero is taking much of his time and his braincells. I dont understand his obsession with it and I probobly wont know, his sour with it that way. I think being number1 would be out of hus reach though. AllMight, the SymbolOfPeace, is just to tall of a mountain to surpass. His more powerfull, more charismatic and just more likable than Enji. It doesn't help that Enji's the grouch and the temperamental guy that he is. He doesn't give of the assurance and the feeling of safety that AllMight does, he isn't just that charismatic enough. I dont realy see him getting that number1 title, not in a million years, AllMight is just that amazing.

Thats how my first few weeks went and I taught it would continue for a few more until I got a reality check in the middle of the night.

I forgot the world that I am in now and the BIG difference it has from my previous one. Its realy stupid of me to forget that but hey! in my defence, I was enjoying the normalcy of finaly having my own family. A loving and gentle mother, and an adorable and smile enducing little sister.

I still shouldn't have forgotten that big change because of my superhero dad, the plentiful topics of heroes and villains, the games I played with my friends and classmates, adults and children in different images and forms, and if thats not a glaring reminder enough, how about the adults in tight spandex and quirky costumes roaming around with their gadgets.

Yeah, thats pretty stupid of me and I probobly would still be ignorant if it wasn't for that wake-up call I had that chilly night.
