[As they wait inside for one of the farmhands to fetch the medikit, Ochako kicks her feet back and forth on a bench she found to sit in. Ah, here comes the questioning - it's become common practice to have to give this explanation to others, and is just so very bizarre to think of, even after nearly two months in this world, that people just don't know what heroes and quirks are to the same degree Ochako does.]

Mmh...yes and no, kind of. I mean, heroes do save lives, of course, but they're less in the terms of soldiers and more like emergency services and general 'help'. I guess in the vaguest and most blunt terms, they're superheroes, because almost every person in my world is either born with or develops a quirk - a metahuman ability, or superpower - that can help them do a variety of things if it's honed.

For example, a person with a quirk that can, say...manipulate water - they'd be called on to help with wildfires and sea-faring rescue missions. A person with super strength may be called on for demolition of a construction site, moving heavy objects from an earthquake or landslide, or even fighting a particularly powerful villain.

There are also those with healing quirks that work in the medical field, but healing quirks are extremely rare in most cases.
