     “i forgot big boi’s birthday and for that, i must atone for my sins with my death...” she immediately makes an illusion of her turning into dust. “please forgive me.......”

It had been about two weeks since he’d made his debut as Real Steel. As a U.A. student, all of the training and challenges he’d endured had been for this goal: Getting his provisional license.

Now that he’d established a routine patrol under the tutelage of the ‘Shield Hero’, Crust, Tetsutetsu was feeling a lot more comfortable and in his element. He didn’t let the familiarity mislead him into believing there was nothing to be on the lookout for- However. 

Since All Might’s retirement, the inner city crime rates displayed a visible increase in activity. More and more small time thugs and criminals felt it was the right time to emerge from the shadows, even organizing into strong teams with compatible Quirks. The Police had enacted curfews and raised awareness about looking out for neighbors and coworkers, emphasizing not to travel alone, if possible. 

It just didn’t feel... safe, anymore.

Frowning as he rounded the corner of a small alleyway near a residential district, a sudden chorus of raised and panicked voices snapped him out of his silent brooding. Tetsutetsu immediately broke out into a steady run, dodging pedestrians and bellowing out for the clustered groups of civilians to move aside.

black hair pushes out beneath a cap just as much so, and the mask which comes to view as he turns is of same fashion. incredible, how it’s been less than a second, how their eyes haven’t yet met, and he can already tell the guy is a nuisance. he expects gleefully red cheeks and a naive, out of breath smile, gets more or less both and it’s plain unexciting– but a spark of recognition stirs that conclusion. he finds himself interested somewhere under his dry expression.

“ yeah. oops, ” he confirms, fingers reaching for the wallet that is undoubtedly his. “ good catch. ” it’s almost sad how predictable the resulting flare of pride is on the hero-student’s face ( that much he can predict, it’s the only reason he should seem familiar. ) 

the wallet slides back into the back-pocket out of which it slipped, no lessons learnt. it doesn’t matter, he carries no ID and it’s been a while since his last pay-day. this familiarity– it’s mutual, isn’t it? what’re you searching for there? teal happen to be your favorite color? i wouldn’t be surprised– i already placed you.

     “ I constantly forget you’re in another grade and class. It just crossed me to ask you which presentations you will be attending at the event, but it is for second years. 

     I suppose it’s a shame. I really do think of you as an extension of our class. Back in the  semester’s beginning, I requested the dorm attendant to refrain from kicking you out outside of visit times, given you seemed a constant invite to our private events. ”

Even the grape incidents, he smiles about them in hindsight. Must be the man’s natural inclination to help, nature of task secondary.

“I see what you’re trying to do, but it’s not gonna work. Have you already forgotten what you’ve learned so far in these sessions?”

The whole point of timed attacks is to keep your opponent on the defense and having someone land the knockout hit needs to be done without the opponent knowing who’s doing it. The students had improved on their timing and getting use to each other's quirks however they were still sticking to certain groups for similar combinations each time. However a certain boy continues to want to help all the groups at the same time revealing his own weakness.

            ‘  do not forget it is the respectable shiketsu you represent.  ’     a diamond in the rough, not unpolished yet rugged  —  that’s what inasa feels like to seiji, and he can’t help but mourn the potential. still, it is his duty as an upperclassman to guide the lost, and so he takes it upon himself to be the teacher.      ‘  your image reflects our institution, and so you must choose your words with utmost caution... starting with lowering your volume.  ’
