"You might have won this one, but you won't ever again." I deadpanned.

He raised his eyebrows. My composure cracked and I started laughing.

"It's fine. I didn't know your fire was that strong! I could feel the heat all the way from the other side. You should use it more often, I mean what's the point in holding yourself back? It's better to embrace it and learn how to use it to save people. Isn't that what heroes do?" I asked.

He seemed to think about it for a few minutes.

"I...guess you're right. I never thought about it that way. I just didn't want to see my father get satisfaction from seeing me become a hero with his quirk." He responded.

"Why do you hate your dad so much?" I asked.

He narrowed his eyes.

"Why do you care?" I could almost sense him begin to close up.

"Because I'm worried about you. It seems like you're holding on to something that's preventing you from using your quirk and becoming a good hero. A hero can't keep holding on to stuff like this. You need to put whatever it is behind you and move forward with a new state of mind." I said in an attempt to convince him.

"How do you know so much about this? You're actually giving me...really good advice." He responded, almost suspicious.

I shrugged but smiled.

"Really good advice, huh? If it's that good then you should listen to it." I grinned.

"Let's go again." He brushed off my remark.

We trained for another few hours. Todoroki used his fire more, and I started to find new ways to use my quirk. Before we knew it, it was already time for lunch. We both left to change back into our school uniforms and go to lunch.

"Y/n! Where have you been?" Ura asked as I sat down at the table.

"Um...training like we were supposed to be?" I started eating my rice.

"Really? You must've been training for a long time." She said.

"Yeah. I think I've made a lot of improvement." I responded.

"That's great! I mostly just tried to dodge explosions..." She glared at Bakugo from across the cafeteria.

"Yikes. That's one person you don't want as a partner." I said.

She nodded.

"We're supposed to have an assembly later, I wonder what it's about." Ura said.

"Yeah. I guess we'll find out." I continued to eat.

We both talked a little more and finished our food. We got up and left the cafeteria.

"We've got some time before the assembly. Wanna walk around a little?" Ura asked.

"Sure." I responded.

We left the building and started walking around the campus.

"I still can't get over the fact of how big this place is." I said.

Ura nodded.

"I guess that's what you can expect from the number one school for heroes." She said.

We walked and talked more, speculating about what we would do next in training.

"Hey, look at the time. We'd better get going." Ura suddenly said.

We both hurried back to the school. We went inside again and looked for the auditorium. Once we found it, we went inside and found seats with the rest of our class. A few minutes later the lights dimmed and Principle Nezu went up on stage.

"Good afternoon students, thank you for coming."
