Saiki's POV:

Everything felt unknown to me, as I stood up on the grass of the foreign environment I was in. I looked around, and nothing felt familiar. Everyone looked different. Some civilians had various types of appearances, and by that, I don't mean ethnicity, but literally inhuman features such as fins, tails, claws, and more.

I explored the area, as I saw people wearing strange costumes or disguises, seeming like they were patrolling around the stores and buildings, similar to what police officers should be doing.

I grimaced in confusion, until a loud crash was heard in the distance.

I woke up.

I shot up from my bed, my head hurting like hell. I checked the clock, which showed 9:56 am, and the sunrise was beaming through my curtains. Fortunately for me, it was Saturday, which meant I didn't need to worry about being late to school.

Not that I have to worry anyway.

I rubbed my forehead and closed my eyes, letting out a long sigh.

[Must've been a precognition. Why was everything so different? What could've possibly been the cause of this?]

I pondered, and got up from bed to go downstairs and get breakfast. I was met by my father, who, once again, pleaded me to teleport him to work. I firmly refused, and went to my lovely mother for breakfast.

"Good morning, Kuu-Chan!~" She beamed with a bright smile, handing me a plate of fried eggs and toast.

"Good morning, mom." I greeted back, and dug my fork into my eggs. Father was long gone, running to work. I was still worried about what was the possible cause of my precognition, so after I finished my meal, I got up and went up to my room.

I got rid of my pajamas, and dressed up in casual wear. It was currently fall season, and even though pyrokinesis was one of my abilities, I figured it was better to cover up like any normal person would, so that I wouldn't get unwanted attention.

I put on dark jeans, a short-sleeved white shirt and wore a grey turtle neck over it. I took a vest that was seemingly cropped above my waist, and put on grey socks and black gloves, before sliding in a belt and heading downstairs.

My mom noticed my unusual attire, intrigued.

[What is Kuu-Chan doing? Is he going somewhere?] Her expression suddenly changed to an excited grin, and glowing eyes. [Does Kuu-Chan have a girlfriend I don't know of?! No, I don't. He's probably gonna go on a date, but why wouldn't he tell me beforehand? Because I'm not going on a date. Is he embarrassed? Stop it.]

Good grief, my parents know that I am not the type to be going for walks on weekends, so when I do, it always ends up with them questioning me for 30 minutes before letting me walk out the door.

"Mom, I'm going out. I had a strange precognition and am going to investigate." I stated, shattering her grandmother dreams to the ground. Her delightful expression immediately dropped to a desperate frown as she pouted.

"Alright, Kuu-Chan! Be safe out there!" She almost immediately replied, going back to her happy-go-lucky mother mood, waving at me.

[Damn it! I had my hopes up so high... That's your problem. How could he not have a girlfriend yet?! I'm not interested. He's got good fashion taste too, why thank you. maybe it's because of his hair? I should probably schedule an appointment to a hairstylist! No, don't. Don't even think about it.]

I nodded at her, as if I hadn't heard anything, put on my black sneakers and walked out of the house.

As I closed the door behind me, the wind instantly blew into my face, as I spotted dead leaves glide through the air. I walked down the district, looking for a potential source for a sudden change of scenery. I had my germanium ring on, so I could focus on what was in front of me, which was a big mistake on my part.

[I should probably look for any physical obstacles that seem in the way of any natural event, so that it doesn't lead to chaos.]

I felt a hand tap my shoulder, and suddenly jumped, triggering an unknown ability that was buried in the huge pile of psychic abilities stored in my brain. I panicked, not helping my case.

[This isn't good, at all. Someone tapped on my shoulder and startled me, and now I have a brand new ability that was suddenly awakened by the lack of attention I paid to my surroundings?! The day barely even started, and God is already against me. Good grief.]

The world started spinning, everything turned white, as I was suddenly floating in an unknown realm, clutching onto my head and gritting my teeth. I barely fainted, and felt myself landing on the ground, which now wasn't soil, but grass.

[God dammit.]

Just like in my precognition, I slowly opened my eyes, and sat up on the green grass of the foreign environment.

[I already have a terrible feeling about this. I have no idea how to trigger this ability, so for all I know, I could be stuck here forever.] I stood up. A rather upset expression could be seen on my face, as I began to walk through the unknown city.

[Good grief. I should probably take off my germanium ring. Who else knows what other tragedy could happen if I keep that thing on?] I complained, and took off my germanium ring.

Multiple foreign thoughts started flooding through my head, as I grimaced. I tried focusing on specific ones, hoping to get an idea of what the world I'm in is about.

[These heroes always save the day! Heroes? What would we do without them?]

[I'm gonna order some All Might merchandise! Wonder who that is.]

[I wish I had a better Quirk, "Quirk"? what can I possibly do related to heroism when all I do is stretch my nose out?!Cosplay as Pinocchio.]

I kept the germanium ring in the left pocket of my vest, feeling like I've learned what's necessary, and explored. Now that I think about it, this reminds me of a Manga I've seen in the library. I haven't read it, so I was unable to remember the name. Too bad.

[So, from what I've heard, these people have "quirks", being a hero is a job, and some of them are popular and have merchandise. Feels likes a comic book...I'm not one to say that.]I concluded, until a loud crash was heard in the distance.

[Here we go.]
