The aftermath of the joint exercise still weighed heavy on Izuku’s mind. He had nearly harmed his friends and made everyone worry about him. After all of the progress he had made with One For All, there was still a stinging reminder of how much farther he had to go to master his quirk. 

Though, he kept on a brave face. There was time to learn more about the Blackwhip. He just had to train harder. 

His team managed to win the joint exercise and he was happy with that result. Even better, Shinsou managed to earn his way into the hero course! He found himself excited to get to know his classmate more. 

Pushing aside the the heavier thoughts, he approached Shinsou in the common area of the dorms. “Hey, Shinsou-kun!” he chirped with a bright smile. “I hope we end up in the same class next year!” 

his cry carried from deep in his throat, rattling through the ground and piercing the air---a warning sound, before the sound of heavy claws hitting the rocky floor followed after. it wasn’t long before the corrupted azurite skidded to a stop in front of the rare purple gem. he looked directly at the ametrine, huffing and making gruff sounds, like he wanted to scare the gem off, but if he wasn’t spooked by his earlier cry and his charge, then, well... 

“Your classmates are strange."

I actually have yet to read Vigilante, although it seems like I should! Given the points you just made about support items.

And yeah it’s always baffled me that we’re supposed to believe someone w/o a quirk couldn’t be a hero when so many existing hero’s have non physical quirks that don’t really help them in a fight.

As for the number one hero, that depends on how it’s defined. Of course a quirkless person would likely never be stronger than or even as strong as All Might in his prime, but they would have the unique perspective to be able to influence society in a positive way and possibly even redefine heroics as a whole. Especially with a character like Izuku who is shown to hold a lot of influence over other characters.

“ Sorry ”

Shinsou wasn’t one to apologize to other, Aizawa being one of the exceptions to this ‘rule’. The young boy wasn’t even entirely sure what he was sorry about. Being injured - to put it lightly. Not listing? For worrying him?

..Was Aizawa even worried? Shinsou wasn’t so sure. His expression was unreadable as ever.

“ I just…I thought…I just wanted to…”

I wanted to help, he finished the sentences in his head. But he knows it was foolish to not listen. Even if he avoids using his quirk knowing he wasn’t allowed yet but still…

A hero helps no matter, don’t they? But…he was no hero, not yet.

The teen didn’t even look at his teacher, focusing his gaze onto his leg, fist clenching into his pants. Somehow the feeling to have disappointed Aizawa is far worse than any injuries he has.

“ Am  I…in trouble-?”

     These damn kids are going to be the death of him one of these days.

Aizawa looks as stern as he ever does, arms crossed and brows furrowed. The scowl on his face could probably make a storm cloud look cheery, and the full brunt of his displeasure is currently focused on his student.

When he’d heard what happened, his first worry was that the next time he saw Shinso, it would be in a casket. True, he’d learned quickly, but he was still far behind his peers. Was his training enough to keep him from getting himself killed? Thankfully, the prospective hero had survived, though Aizawa wasn’t entirely convinced it was anything more than dumb luck. A few months of training would hardly save anyone.

     “From what perspective?” he asks coolly. “Legally, you certainly could get in trouble. Thankfully, it sounds like your actions are being counted as self defense. With UA? Your actions weren’t those of a responsible student. With me?” Aizawa pauses. “Absolutely.”

He’s seized with a strong urge to hug the boy, the same one he’d been feeling from the moment he’d seen him battered and weary. That wouldn’t really reflect the image he wanted to give off right now, though.
