“I assumed you were stronger than that, you’re holding back for some reason. Something is on your mind aswell, you’ve been acting strange ever since the USJ incident, did anything happen?”

You both were training privately, meerly because you asked him to. After the USJ incident? you had realized how stronger the others were compared to you, and it made you feel inferior to the others. You hated this feeling, so you had asked Todoroki to train with you, even if he was probably stronger and more experienced than you, it wouldn’t do either of you any good. For now, at least. However, Todoroki had noticed your sudden complex for awhile, just he couldn’t quite put his finger on what was wrong. He had agreed to train with you just to get through with you, and to perhaps help you if you were up for it later on.

“Would you like to talk about it for a bit? We can pause our training session and take a quick break, maybe grab some water aswell.”

He glanced at you and your sweaty form. You really wanted to surpass your classmates, but overexerting yourself wasn’t the way to. So, you had agreed surprisingly, and the two of you sat down on a bench in the training room whilst drinking water and patting down the sweat off of your body, mainly your foreheads.
