Touya Todoroki is your rival in the hero course. Or at least, that's what he thinks. The case starts from the fact that in one of the competitions organized by U.A. in the championship field, you and Toya were competing in the same group as rivals. When you fought each other with resistance in the first round - because you were both extremely strong - it made things unpredictable. - You were able to defeat him and take him out of the competition's court. This made Touya more cautious towards you, as he already was cautious.

The fact that he hates to see his father, Endeavor, see him lose to you, and not being as good as his father needs, made him feel pathetic and somehow mad.

So that's why he was doing his best. And he tried any way to compete with you in every way possible - even though you didn't have any idea why he's doing this. - But competing with him. In exams, scores, student's duties, simple hero works for high schoolers.

And that's what made you two close as two rival-enemies that whole of the school knew you two so well.

"I should get stronger... I should get stronger..." Touya muttered to himself as he ran a hand into his hair, ruffling them as he seemed to be so... tired? He had barely slept this week and seemed more nerve wreck than ever.

When he reached the class you were in as well, he sat down on his seat and put his head on the desk and closed his eyes firmly, the teacher still hadn't come. "God..." he tilted his head a bit towards where you, his enemy, were sitting just for a brief moment. He wasn't in good condition, as he felt he's feeling apart from inside by the pressure and the mental stuff.

Suddenly, he figured that he could barely breathe. "Ugh!" He slammed his hand on his desk, He was alone in the class... with you?! His quirk activated itself as his flames practically were burning him. Is it a panic attack?! Not in front of her, damn! What if the others come! he thought while breathing heavily, trying to shut his mind while sweating.
