Genetic metahuman abilities? [ Akko tilts her head, trying to parse what that means as she slurps up a noodle. ] Huh, that sounds complicated. So they're like...some kind of special abilities you're born with, right? What did you call them? "Quirks"?
[ Everyone is born with magic inside of them where Akko is from - but it sounds like in Ochako's world, being more than mundane is truly special. In some ways that's enviable! You get to be really, truly special if your circumstances allow it. In other ways it makes her heart sad that not everyone can embrace that world's magic. And it is, she thinks, a form of magic that Ochako is talking about. Sciencey weird magic, but what is magic if not a projection of personal will? And what's more personally willful than your very DNA?
She snaps out of her thoughts when Ochako starts talking about Bakugou again. ]
Oh wow, twenty is a lot! We had three people per room in our dorm, but Luna Nova was pretty big so there were a lot of students. Lunch time was kinda hectic.
