oh wow you must be famous. are you a musician?

No, I wish!

( He did not think the concept of mentioning his infamy through ... )

I always thought bands looked pretty cool though. I tried learning the guitar once.

are you a pro hero?????

[ Wow, come to think of it, Vash the Stampede is an awesome Hero name! ]

I don't know what that is but it sounds pretty swell! You wanna tell me about it?

[ It hurts his heart that so many people he's met here don't even know what a Pro Hero is when it's so ubiquitous where he comes from, but it's fine. ]

hero is a profession where i come from. we train in rescue, combat, and evacuation. heroes save others, respond to natural disasters, fight villains, that kind of thing. but it's also our job to reassure people that everything's gonna be all right.

heroes are very popular, so we become like celebrities in addition to public servants. i still need to work on responding properly in interviews though...

[ Public speaking... the true villain! ]

Huh.

Professional. I guess we have heroes back home, but nobody's going around calling themselves a pro. That's pretty neat. No wonder you got pulled to a place like this. Do you like it?

do i like this place? or do you mean training to be a hero?
well i don't appreciate being taken from my world...

[ He hates being kidnapped actually! He super-punched the barrier about it! But Midoriya is mild-mannered to a fault. ]

as for hero work, it's been very hard but i don't regret it at all. it's my dream. if i was given the same choice i'd do it all over again. it's only been 2 years since i started training, but i'm a different person now. i just hope it's enough to solve the problems back home. i think with everyone's help, it will be.

Me either. But I think it's probably a little desperate times, desperate measures. They could've asked though, I would have come.

And hero work does sound intense. Do you just decide you're going to be one? Is there an interview process? What's it like?

[ Ah, a fellow person who jumps into danger if someone looks like they need help. That's part of the essence of a true hero. All Might told him this, and Midoriya lived it. In Midoriya's opinion, a capital-H Hero needs it too. The other half of the equation is, of course, the desire to win. Midoriya had to learn that one, but he had a very good example to draw from. Bakugo is... indelible. ]

i can't ignore the pain that kidnapping us causes, but i do get the impression that there is something... not human or beyond human at work here.

[ What Accelerator said about Echo transcending into another form of being or whatever is pretty wild. ]

there are licenses one has to get in order to be a pro hero. it'd be really dangerous if everyone just used their quirks on the street to fight since there are so many that could kill in an instant. oh right, quirks are the common word we use for meta powers.

there are schools with hero course programs, and i'm in one. after graduation, people usually train further as a sidekick under a pro hero before choosing to go solo. anytime someone serves under a pro hero, even just temporarily as part of a school's work-study program, they usually interview you unless they asked for you specifically.

[ Vash is incredibly lucky that this conversation is written, where Midoriya can at least be somewhat concise. When speaking, he tends to get very carried away and would probably have rambled twice as much. ]

( Not human is oddly specific, but Vash will blithely overlook that to the best of his ability. He's used to humanities distinctive line in the sand. His new friend does not )

I think quirks sounds way more fun that meta powers did, even if I'm not sure what either of them are. Superheroes, right? That's what someone called it here.

So you have a power? If you're in the power school.

[ Midoriya acknowledges that this world and its inhabitants has non-human territory that he doesn't know. But good luck trying to get him to stop seeing a person in all this. It's both a comfort and a threat: Midoriya has a wealth of compassion, but Echo isn't off the hook. ]

yeah. when meta abilities appeared, everyone compared it to superheroes just like in comic books. when things got really chaotic and violent, one mother said that people shouldn't go after her child who had a meta ability, that it was just a "quirk" of his. that's where we got the word we use today.

the advent of quirks changed what it meant to be human, but in the end everyone is still a person.

[ Midoriya doesn't like to lie, and he will lie by omission if he can, but it's a matter of public safety that the true nature of his Quirk remain secret. If he has to use more of his power in the course of being a Hero, the unusual power of his Quirk will out, but he'll just cross that bridge later. ]

it's not a requirement to have a quirk to take the entrance exam, but my quirk is super strength. it also lets me run really fast or jump really high.

[ *ooc: kosei, lit. "individuality" is officially translated as "quirk" ]

Oh, that's so neat!!!

I mean it sounds like it was a tough time getting to where you are now, but I do like the sound of it. People using what they've been given to help out. It's how the world should be.

It also sounds handy for a place like this. Have you been here long?

[ It's how the world should be, and it's how he is, but the world isn't fair. He learned that very young. All the more reason for a hero (or a Hero) to do what he can. ]

it's only been days for me. how about you? to be honest, i thought you might actually be a pro hero, with a cool name like "the stampede".
