The next day, Shouto was beyond anxious for his teacher's reaction to the letter. His mind was telling him it was pointless to even give the letter, let alone ask for help from anyone anymore, while his heart was telling him to trust the pro hero, that eventually everything was going to be resolved.

He decided to leave the Todoroki mansion early, as to avoid the constant worrying from his sister. Yet he couldn't bring himself to enter the UA grounds just yet, so he decided to go to a nearby park just 15 minutes from the UA gates. Sitting on a red swing at the far right of the park, he was able to recollect his thoughts. Though this was an unfamiliar place to him.

It had only been a handful of times that he went to a park, all those times coming from all the chances that Fuyumi and Natsuo took just to get Shouto out of the training room for once, when Endeavor had more criminals to catch than usual.

As much as he cherished the memories they made that didn't revolve around their 'father', it always bothered Shouto how those memories were always overshadowed by a more dreaded memory engraved in his mind, one where he would only be able to watch from the sidelines as his siblings played outside, before he would be pushed back into the hellhole of a training room over and over again.

"WHAT DID I TELL YOU!! THEY ARE DISTRACTIONS!! I SEE YOU WATCHING THEM AGAIN, I'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET A WORSE PUNISHMENT. UNDERSTAND!?"

**SLAP**

"Y-ye-yes sir"

After wiping the tears off his face and readjusting himself, he stood up and used the remaining time to get to UA, ready to face whatever his teacher had to say.

As their homeroom teacher walked in the classroom with sleeping bag and a piece of paper that a particular student recognized at first glance in hand, 1A took their seats as quickly as any other day. But today was going to be a little different from the others for one student.

"We're not doing anything for homeroom today." said their teacher in his tired, monotone voice. " You can do whatever you want just don't burn the place down, I'm talking to you Bakugo. Lastly, Todoroki, come with me."

Aizawa led the boy into the hallways, past multiple floors, and more hallways until they finally reached their destination. The teacher opened the door they were standing in front of and gestured for the boy to enter.

Inside, there was a brown haired man wearing a black suit and a blonde haired woman in her late forties wearing a dark red suit. sitting across each other on a medium sized rectangular table. As far as Shoto could remember from all the meetings Endeavor would force him to attend, they were Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi and the president of the HSC, also known as the Hero Safety Commission. In the opposite side of the room, standing was the winged hero and Number 3 Hero, Hawks, who seemed to be just as nervous as Shoto, but trying to not show an ounce of it.

The teacher and student sat next to each other, Shoto to the right of Aizawa and in front of the detective. After a moment of silence, the president spoke.

"Hello Shoto. You may already know why you are here, but for a brief explanation, you had given Shota Aizawa a letter, mentioning Endeavor, and what seems to be a call for help."
