8 – Proverbs 18:15




Proverbs 18:15

An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.


Before he knew it two years had passed along with his 6th birthday and he could no longer convince his parents to put off school for any longer no matter how far ahead he was due to being tutored by the best available teachers. He could probably go straight to college when combining his knowledge from his first life with the supplement brought by the tutors in this one. Then again there was no need for college as he was planning to go to UA, but being the heir to the Busujima consortium there was no way it would be acceptable for him not to be an educated individual.

During these two years he hadn't only been studying though, he also pushed himself to the limits physically through exercise. Despite only being 6 he could already compete with the peak of quirk-less human capability in every aspect. After further testing his limits over the years he was fairly certain besides his wings his quirk did indeed provide him with a constantly growing boost to every aspect of his physique. That included his speed, strength, dexterity, durability, stamina, endurance, senses and reflexes. However it went beyond just the physical as it also improved his brain and in turn his mind. He could remember everything, had an easier time learning, became more intelligent and more. Although there wasn't a way for him to be sure, he was convinced if it was something that was a function of his body in any way it was being optimised by his quirk.

Now his parents had enrolled him in some fancy private school attended by those expected to run the country in the future. Something about socialising and making friends his parents insisted. He didn't mind too much, he was rather adept socially and his charm both physical and verbal let him easily get along with anyone, however he wasn't looking forward to socialising with a bunch of 6 year olds. They aren't the most riveting bunch after all. He only needed to survive for 7 years. Once he was 14 he would be going to UA and he could actually start doing more interesting things at school, until then he would just have to get his fix outside of class.

They finally exited the car in front of a fancy building. The impressive school building was surrounded by large gardens and play grounds.

"Have a great first day." his dad said with a smile before the driver drove off to take him to the office leaving James and his mother to enter the school together.

Since it was the first day of school a lot of parents were there with the kids to send them off on their first day though few were as emotional as his mom who hadn't been separated from him like this for 6 years now. When they got to the classroom the homeroom teacher was already waiting for them.

"Hi there, James right?" she asked him with a warm smile.

"Yes miss, I look forward to our year together." he said smiling back.

"Awww, I can see we have a little gentleman here." she responded.

His mom gave a slightly strained smile. He made sure to give his mom a tight hug and lots of kisses on the cheek before heading into the classroom with his teacher where she walked to the front of the class with him.

"Ok class, I know most of you already know each other from last year. However we have a new classmate this year. Can you introduce yourself?" she says excitedly.

"Hi everyone, I'm Busujima James. I look forward to getting to know you all." he said with a bright smile and did a slight bow. Little kids were quite easy. If you were attractive and charming they weren't socially apt to see beyond that yet. The flip side of the coin is if you are unattractive or have some kind of problem kids tend to bully relentlessly capable of being the worst little monsters.

He looked over the class. Against all expectations he actually recognised one of them. Although he wasn't completely sure, he was fairly certain one of the girls was Momo Yaoyorozu from the show. He might be wrong as she was 7 years younger and lacking her obvious...ahem... assets. She did have the matching wild hairdo though and she was from a prominent Japanese family so being in this exclusive private school would make sense for her.

Playing closer attention to her she seemed to be somewhat awkward and isolated in the class which matched her awkwardness at the beginning of the show. No friends throughout her youth and absentee parents. Daddy issues make for easy girls and he was in a prime position to take advantage of it. If he played his cards right he could effectively make her dependent on him for emotional validation. She is also the only one with value in this class as he didn't recognise any of the others from the show meaning they didn't go to U.A. nor had any major achievement down the line so he decided to focus his attention on her while he was in class.

"Go ahead and find a place to sit Busujima-kun." the teacher said.

James walked up to the boy sitting next to Momo.

"Hi, do you mind if I sit here?" he asked with a wide smile.

"O-okay." the boy muttered and moved to another free seat.

Momo looked at him in surprise as like everyone else she just expected him to take one of the free spots.

"W-why did you do that?" she asked him hesitantly. It had been two years and she still hadn't made any friends in the class and she was afraid to scare him off like the others.

"Oh. I just really wanted to sit next to you." he said with a warm smile that made her stomach feel strange.

"So you just heard my name. What's yours?" he asked inquisitively.
