Hello, everyone. Please excuse this question if it has been asked before; I only just arrived, so I'm still trying to get my bearings, but...

How common is it for people from the same world to arrive together? But not... really together? By which I mean, not from the same point in time. There seem to be many people I know here, but I'm not sure we all line up the way we should.

(That said, if anyone from U.A. is reading this, I think it might be prudent if we all got on the same page with regards to what we do or don't remember.)

Additionally, if there is anyone here who has experience with elemental magic and wouldn't mind showing someone who's new to it how to use it, I would be very appreciative.

Thank you.

I can't speak for how common it is, but I arrived at the same time as someone else I knew. Except, of course, there is a difference of four years between us.

It is a little disorienting. I can't imagine how much more confusing it would be if there was more than just myself and him in this situation.

The difference between myself and the others from my world is not so great.
But then, we're all still students. A four year span would be something quite significant.

How have you managed the gap between you? Did the one who is from the future tell the one from the past about what will happen for them?

[ Out of all her classmates, Momo seems to be the one from the furthest point in the past. This is definitely information relevant to her interests. ]

You say the difference isn't so great but it also sounds like enough has happened in that time if there is something for you to be concerned about.

I have been told a few things here and there about what's to come, but nothing in detail. Though, I doubt it's because of the gap in time that secrets are being kept. That person has always been the sort to report only good news and not bad.

Whether or not that's the right choice is hard to say.

Well, that's the thing, isn't it? I'm behind everyone else, and no one will give me any real answers about what will happen in the time between us. When they find out what time I came from, they act as though they pity me for it, somehow. What other reason for that could there be, besides something terribly meaningful happening?

[ Heaven knows their year has been eventful enough so far. ]

I'm sorry... I didn't mean to spill all my anxiety about it onto a stranger. Please forgive me.

[kiss_it_better]

There's no need for apologies.

If anything, I can understand your anxieties since there are times when I feel the same. Even if I know it is being done to protect me, it doesn't make me feel any better about it.

But because it is being done to protect me it feels as if I cannot air my grievances with that person. If anything, maybe it is easier to say it to a stranger or, at least, someone uninvolved.

[recommendations]

You're right. I know my friends have my best interests at heart, so I don't want to complain to them, but it does still feel good to be able to say it to someone.

Still, you're very gracious for letting me do this. Thank you.

[kiss_it_better]

Perhaps I will ask you to return the favour one day if I get to a point where I need someone to vent to about being kept in the dark.

[recommendations]

Certainly! That would only be fair.

My name is Yaoyorozu Momo. I don't think I introduced myself in my post.

[kiss_it_better]

My name is Li Min.

[His name is his username. How original. But speaking of names.]

What does the name you've chosen as your username mean?

[recommendations]

Oh! It's my hero name!
Back in my world, I'm in training to become a professional hero, and the name I have chosen to go by is The Everything Hero: Creati.

[kiss_it_better]

A professional hero? I don't think I've ever heard of such
a profession.

[recommendations]

Really? It's a well known career track in my world. But maybe the same is not true for other worlds.

[kiss_it_better]

It's probably something you will get used to. I often find that things that are common where I'm from do not seem to exist in other places or exist under a different name.

What does being a professional hero entail?

[recommendations]

I suppose that sort of cultural difference is something we'll have to get used to, being in a place with people from so many different worlds.

A pro hero is someone who uses their Quirk to help stop crime and save lives during emergencies or disasters, assisting civilians until the police and other emergency personnel can arrive on the scene. It is a hero's duty to do everything they can to protect people.

[kiss_it_better]

I like to consider it an opportunity. Imagine all the different things you could learn. I'm sure more than some of it will be helpful when we return.

I am still not entirely sure what the difference is between a pro hero and the police. Also, what is a Quirk?

[recommendations]

That's a good way to think of it! A learning opportunity is never something to let pass by!

"Quirk" is what we call the superhuman ability that the majority of people in my world are born with, or develop at a young age. Everyone's Quirk is different, though a lot of quirks are passed down from generation to generation. Pro Heroes are in part meant to be able to stop superpowered crime that the police aren't equipped to handle, or to be first responders to help civilians until the actual authorities can arrive and take over. They assist the police and other emergency personnel more often than not.

[kiss_it_better]

I see. That's unlike anything else I know. Still, if I may ask, if most people have a Quirk then why can't police deal with those superpowered crimes? Do they not also have a Quirk?
