Unspoken Bonds | S. Aizawa x Reader

xxiii. Fire

The next morning, the same process repeated. Aizawa woke his students up before the crack of dawn and they were training once more.

The sheer amount of exhaustion felt by the students was horrid, but they all also felt an insane amount of ambition and drive to improve their Quirks, so it balanced itself out. So again, for hours and hours on end, the kids trained with all their hearts, Aizawa occasionally stepping in and telling them a better way to do what they were doing, or telling them to try harder.

Todoroki would occasionally look in the direction of Bakugou and Lightbringer. They were far enough away so that the brightness wouldn't hurt his eyes if he merely looked, if he were to look for too long, though, it would.

He couldn't see her or Bakugou, but the boy still felt the need to look, especially after last night. Only one thing disturbed Todoroki, and that was that Aizawa didn't know. The only people who knew were himself and Endeavor.

It wasn't his business, he knew that, and he wasn't like some green haired boy who stuck his nose in everyone's business but his own. Shaking his head, Todoroki returned to his own training, erasing his mind of his teachers possible drama.

As one of the final breaks came about, the Wild Wild Pussycats had a major announcement to make

"Now tonight, both classes will go head to head in a test of courage! Your reward for all your intense training- some intense fun!"

"Woo!" Many students cheered, while there were three other different kinds of reactions.

"I hate scary things..." Jirou.

"A banquet of darkness..." Tokoyami.

"Oh really? I completely forgot about that." Kendo.

And more training ensued, until dinner time.

"Shouta, Shouta, Shouta!" [L/n] beamed, jumping on the man's back, his reflexes allowing him to hold her piggyback style rather than falling on his face.

"You're taking the remedial kids, aren't you?"

"Yes. Most of them were lacking in their training today, so I'll be lecturing them while everyone else participates."

The two were now sitting at a table, eating.

"That's gotta suck for them, though." She admitted, shoving a bite of stew in her mouth.

"While it may, it's necessary. They shouldn't have failed in the first place."

"Now I feel the need to apologize to Ashido and Kaminari."

"You shouldn't apologize to them. They just need to get stronger."

Their conversation was over after that, the two eating in a comfortable silence.

Soon, the time came for the Battle of Courage to begin- and for the remedial students to get dragged away to their lesson.

I don't remember what I'm supposed to be doing, I just know I'm supposed to scare some children. [L/n] wasn't quite sure as to how she'd scare the children, she wasn't really that scary. Though she knew Kaminari and Ashido would probably disagree with that thought.

The occasional scream of students did make her chuckle as she wondered through the forest, now just making it her job to make sure no one killed each other, especially with Bakugou in the mix.

Then she smelled smoke.

Aizawa's eyes widened as Mandalay's telepathy began to ring through his head. Everyone! We're under attack by two villains, and there might be more out there! All those who can should get to camp at once! If you encounter any enemy, don't engage! Just retreat!
