LOST // BAKUGO X OC

Shared Moments

Estelle frowned at the bubblegum female as the teenager stared at her with large, innocent eyes. Estelle was training Ochako again, with Kaminari, Kirishima and Izuku practising separately from the two on her right. Ochako's face was downturned as she tried to figure out what she had done wrong.

"Ochako, your training is here."

"I know that...."

"So why is your mind all the way over there?" Estelle questioned, her finger pointed to her right where Izuku was working with a football.

"Huh?! No! It's nothing."

Trying to comprehend what was happening with the girl, Estelle gazed over at the trio of males with pursed lips. "Did you have an argument with Izuku?"

Laughing awkwardly, Ochako gave a robotic shake to her head as she raised her hands defensively. "No! No! It's just I really admire Deku and his work ethic. I was distracted for a moment; it won't happen again!"

Confused, Estelle grunted. "So why are you wasting your training admiring his? Wait a second...."

Frozen as Estelle's eyes turned back to her, Ochako gained a sweat as Estelle's aura turned pitch black. Shrinking back from the seething atmosphere, all Ochako could see was the dark eyes of Estelle peeking out from the abyss she had created. "Are you telling me that I'm not training you hard enough, soldier?"

"No! No! You're pushing me to my limits!"

"It doesn't seem like it! Don't think I overlooked the fact the females aren't in the top ranks athletically. Drop and give me twenty!"

"Yes!"

"Yes...What!?"

"YES, CAPTAIN."

-_-

"Wow, Estelle is pushing Uraraka to her limits, huh?" Izuku questioned with a sweatdrop as he turned back to Kirishima and Kaminari.

"Yeah, she's pushing her harder than anyone else."

-_-

Estelle gazed at Ochako with satisfaction as she watched the female eat from her plate like a sloth.

"Um, Estelle. I think you broke Ochako," Izuku grumbled, his eyes flickering back to the dead female on the other side of the table.

Estelle's face remained blank as she continued eating her food without a care in the world. "Good."

"Ha. Ha. You didn't need to go that hard. I've never seen you that aggressive before! You normally train with us so calmly." Kaminari wondered out loud after giving his robotic and fearful laugh.

Realising that they were all questioning her change of tactics, Estelle looked up from her plate with a deadpan. "The females in this world irritate me."

"Huh!?" The class cried out, offended.

"Let me finish! This world treats female heroes differently, and therefore they are forced to the rotten standard rather than break the mould given to them. This bias has been ingrained in you all since you were children; well, most of you," Estelle continued, her mind drifting back to the fight with Bakugo and Ochako.

"Females in this class have untapped potential. It irritates me to see them so low on the power scale. My world isn't so foolish to do something like that. So, if I have to be more aggressive to get them to break, only to build them back up again. I will."

Silence.

"Plus, Ochako deemed it fit to question my training. I thought it fit to teach her a lesson."
