Chapter 28 - Tutoroki (Part 2)

Todoroki stumbled towards the door, juggling the books and papers in his arms, he did his best to knock, not realizing the door was cracked open. He fell flat on his face, books and papers going everywhere, "...Hello."

While watching the event, Tomura let out a shocked chuckle "H-Hey Freezerburn... hehe... Whatchu got there..?"

Todoroki didn't even try to get up, he just layed there, face on the papers, "Books, for teaching you." he said, muffled.

Tomura stumbled on his words for a short second before getting out "Are you okay...?"

"Don't worry, the only thing hurt is my pride. I'll be fine. This is what I get for carrying books this far after a mission."

"Ah, hi there again!" Daichi grinned, awkwardly, walking over to pick up the papers "so... you're the one that was teaching Tomu his Kanji, eh? He talked about you, last time!"

"Didn't recognize ya, earlier! Need help getting up or somethin?'" He offered his hand, after placing the collected items on the bed.

Todoroki, still face down on the floor, replied, "Yep, that's me. Nezu just gave me some better teaching resources, as you can see." Todoroki paused, "help may be a good idea, I think my muscles just gave out."

Tomura chuckled, moving to help Todoroki "Hold on, I think I can get up to help you out..."

Daichi chuckled, grabbing the boy's hand and heaving him up "All good... Tomu..!" He huffed, unconvincingly, clearly strained. Under his breaths: "Man you're heavier than ya look... guess that's the hero build , ey?"

"Yeah, sorry about that." Todoroki pulled himself the rest of the way up, "thanks, my body just gave out for some reason.."

Daichi sighed "Happens to me all the time... So! What ya gonna teach em today, eh?"

"Maybe you should actually sleep then, Freezerburn..." Tomura advised.

Pointing at Tomura, Todoroki said, "I'll be alright, sleep is for the weak anyways. I'm not going to teach him anything tonight persay, I have some assessments for him to take, to get a grasp of what I need to teach him." they could hear the sleepiness on Todoroki's speech, and how he started to slip from the perfect rich boy persona.

Tomura seemed a little confused, but with a hint of fear "Assignments...? You're not gonna make me go outside and train, are you...? I just got injured..."

Obviously, Tomura had a preconceived notion of what 'Assignments' were. And it didn't seem to be good.

"Oh, no. They are just paper tests to gage where you are in your education, and so I can tell what I have to teach you."

"Here, take a look." Todoroki said, before grabbing one of the assessments off the table and giving it to him.

Tomura grabbed the test and started reading it, flipping through it. "So..." He took a minute to continue "Which one is this...?"

"That is a science test, you just answer the questions the best you can so I can see what I have to teach you to get you to UA standards."

Tomura nodded, seeming a little worried about something "Ah.... There's a lot of words I can't read on here..."

Tomura did not pick up on the UA part, at all.

"Thats fine, I'll help, just point out the words to me." Todoroki leaned over his shoulder to look at the paper.

He flipped back to the first question, where he nearly pointed at every word spelled out on the section.

Todoroki looked at the question, before reading it out loud, "What is the powerhouse of the cell?"
