[There's an image of a school worksheet. Some of the questions at the top of the page have been answered, some have been half-answered, and there's a few left blank. The handwriting is not the best, but legible.]

Is anyone else taking cross-species communication at the school? I'm really confused about these last questions. Fairy customs are really confusing.

And I don't really get the Elemental Magic assignment either.

I forgot how much I hate homework.

[Don't make him get out a chart of all the reasons why someone is awesome, Tsuna. It's like four hundred pages long.]

I guess I know how that feels sometimes. But if you keep it up, I'm sure you're more than enough.

I have a few teachers who are pretty hard on me too. But I think it's all for a good reason...

[theskyaccepts]

I hope so. I guess it's just....I'm starting from nothing in a lot of ways and it feels like there's a lot of pressure on me to succeed.

[He comes from the low-confidence school of shonen boys unfortunately. And it's been a little hard without Reborn here.]

[fullgauntlet]

[#relatable. Izuku comes from the same sort of backstory. Coming up from nothing is hard! Really hard!]

You should keep going for yourself, Sawada-kun. Pressure can be a lot... but when I feel like that I try to use it to press forward. Prove myself and my own power, or something like that?

You can do it!

[theskyaccepts]

You sound a lot more focused than me, Midoriya-kun. I tend to crack under pressure.

But I'm trying to get better at it. It's hard though. I'm not sure if proving myself is the best thing.

[The more he proves himself, the better the mafia boss he'll be]

[fullgauntlet]

Ahhh... I guess I am- Some of my classmates would say I'm just... determined. Or a fanboy...

Or a... nerd.

[Nevermind that one. Anyway!!]

Well... where do you see yourself in a few years? What do you want to do?

[theskyaccepts]

Those don't seem like bad things. Better than being a loser.

[Which is, unfortunately, part of his nickname. But he's slowly shedding it]

Truthfully, I don't really know. I hadn't really thought past school beyond getting a job of some sort. My tutor has plans for me, but...

[There's these sense that he's been typing for a while and deleting his response before finally choosing not to answer. He's not entirely sure how to explain the career that's been chosen for him.]

[fullgauntlet]

Your friends call you a loser? I have one that calls me a shitnerd...

[Please let them shed these nicknames?????]

I guess there's still time to figure it out?

[theskyaccepts]

Not my friends, but mostly classmates. Before I had friends.
That must be rough though. I was just Loser Tsuna.

[Such rough lives]

Yeah. I mean, I've still got middle school to finish.

[fullgauntlet]

[#relatable]

Yeah. I know how that feels...

Ah, you're still in middle school, Sawada-kun? I'm in my first year of high school.

[Izuku is a.... Senpai???]

[theskyaccepts]

Hiee...really? I mean, I guessed we were about the same age but it looks like you're older.

I'm in my second year at Namimori Middle.
Though I guess that's on hold right now

[Right now because of Camelot, previously because he's ten years in his future]

[fullgauntlet]

It's a bit funny, I thought you might be a little older than me...!

I just turned seventeen back in July, though. I guess it might not matter much... my high school days are on pause too. That's just how things are at the moment for all of us, ne...

[theskyaccepts]

Really? I don't think I've ever been told that. Usually it's one of my friends...

[Granted, he does hang out with a few people older than him. Hang out being the loosest sense of the word.]

Yeah, somehow I don't think the classes I take here are gonna transfer over.

[fullgauntlet]

I'm not sure what it was that made me think that... I guess it was just a bad guess. But we're basically the same age.

[Tsuna hanging out with people like Gokudera, though!!]

You don't think they will?

[theskyaccepts]

I do hang out with some third year students, so maybe they've rubbed off on me? Although thinking about it...I don't know if that's a good thing.

[When one considers Hibari and Ryohei...maybe he's had mature to be the responsible one?]

Well, not the magic ones. My school doesn't teach that.

[fullgauntlet]

Ahaha, that almost makes you sound like a delinquent, Sawada-kun. I'm just kidding!

Ah, I think I know what you mean. My school has classes to help us learn our individual quirks better but magic is very different.

[theskyaccepts]

Ahaha...

[Thankfully text can cover up Tsuna's nervous laughter. Delinquent's one way to say it, and don't share that with Hibari.]

My school's no where near that cool.

Although...what's a quirk? I've heard a few people use it.

[fullgauntlet]

[One day Izuku will find out his friend is a total delinquent.]

Ah! You've met a few other people from my class, I think. In my world, most humans have a special ability or power that's unique to them. It's called a quirk. Usually, there's some counselling and classes we take while growing up to learn how to grow with them.

[theskyaccepts]

[Not by choice. As always, we blame Reborn.]

That would make sense...so you go to school with all of them?

But it's not like the magic here?

[fullgauntlet]

My class in particular all have quirks, yeah. We're all in the same hero course so we have to make sure our quirks are in top shape.

It's not exactly like magic... Since quirks can be physical or mental. Whereas I feel like magic is a lot more... ahhh... super natural? But the two are definitely similar.

[theskyaccepts]

Hero course?

But they're more like super-powers then?

[fullgauntlet]

That's right, back home my class is training to be the next generation of heroes!

Probably explains that quirks are just like superpowers. Like in comics.

[theskyaccepts]

Wait...so that makes you a superhero?

Should you even be telling me this? What about secret identities?

[Tsuna is. One to talk.]

[fullgauntlet]

A hero in training, actually! I'm not sure you can call it a superhero when we're all super in our own ways?

[Like there is no ONE single Super. Everyone in his class is strong! And Super!]

But secret identities are actually only by choice where I'm from. Some heroes conceal it while others don't. It's actually fairly common that most high-ranking heroes have such a huge fanbase that it's normal for them to share their faces on things like social media or magazines.

And ahh... I don't mind that much. I actually forget to wear my hood a lot...

[theskyaccepts]

Hiee....that's a lot different from the movies and comic books.

But I guess it makes sense. If everyone's got powers, there's no real need to conceal your identity. Must be nice in a way.

So, there's bad guys, to, right? If there's a lot of superheroes?

[fullgauntlet]

That's the easiest way to see it, yeah.

And villains are a prominent thing too, there's always someone out there that wants to cause trouble. So it's also up to heroes to take villains down before anyone else can get hurt.

I guess that part is a lot more like the comic books.
