               Chuuya walked into the arena with Dazai on his back, barely breaking a sweat. "Chuuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai from class 1A are the fourth and fifth to make it back! Although I'm not sure how fair it is since Dazai was on his back!" The crowd cheered and laughed as Chuuya helped Dazai off. "You slowed down," Todoroki commented as he stared at Chuuya, his eyes narrowing. Just how strong was this teenager? "I don't want to be in whatever petty fight you and Midoriya-kun are having. So I'll just lag a bit behind until the three of you can get your emotions under control," Chuuya says as Dazai stares straight at Todoroki with those unnerving eyes. "Do you think you would have won if you didn't slow down?" Was he going to have to deal with Todoroki being his enemy now too?

Honestly, Todoroki is just as observant as Bakugou was...that wouldn't be good for their mission. "I don't think it, I know it." He answered as he stared back at Todoroki. "What gives you the right to be cocky like this? Wasn't it you who had told us that we needed to work hard to succeed." The dual-haired boy walked forward, staring straight at Chuuya, a frown gracing his lips. "I'm not being cocky, I'm stating a fact," Chuuya said with a sigh as he looked at Dazai exasperatedly. "You focus on fighting with your emotions and with the expectations you set for yourself," he continues as he watches Todorokis's brows furrow.

"I'm not acting to be cocky, I set no expectations for me or my strengths, so I only move forward. And I certainly DON'T attack classmates because of their similarities to all might." Chuuya finishes before walking away, Dazai following behind the ginger. "Chibi, if you're going to blow our cover can you at least do it and not be a hypocrite," Dazai whispered with a pout as he draped himself over Chuuya's shoulders, the smaller tsking in annoyance. He knew he was being hypocritical, he had just gotten emotional by yelling at Todoroki for fighting based on emotions.

Chuuya couldn't help it, not when Todoroki reminded him so much of Shirase. They were so similar yet so different at the same time. Shirase drove himself into the ground trying to prove that he didn't need anyone's help and that he was capable of doing things on his own. That he was independent. That independence led him to stab Chuuya and practically destroy the sheep, in reputation, and strength. Todoroki was going to do the same thing to himself or any possible future teammates if he kept it up with the attitude, Chuuya knew it. Though Todoroki was different from Shirase in many ways, for instance, he was much sharper. So he hopes, for his sake, and others, that he will understand that the road he's going down will only lead to his doom.

"Stop trying to use that brain of yours chibi," Dazai said as he tugged on Chuuya's ear, making the shorter shove him off. "Chuuya-san! Dazai-san!" Mina called their names as she waved at them excitedly, walking up with Sero beside her. The ginger turned towards her as Dazai brushed invisible sand off of him. "Hey Mina-san and Sero-kun, how'd it go?" Chuuya answered with a smile, looking at the two. "It went well, you totally breezed past us though!" She said excitedly with a grin which made Chuuya smirk. "You'll just have to keep training and catch up with me," Mina smirked at the challenge, jumping onto Chuuya, her arms around his shoulders. "You're on!" She says with a big smile, moving back and forth and bringing Chuuya with her.

Dazai's eyes darkened slightly as he watched her, she had been getting extra touchy recently with Chuuya, and he did not like it. She was touchy with everyone, but why did that have to include his Chuuya? "Dazai-san did you really just ride on Chuuya-sans back?" Sero questioned with a smile, his hand covering his mouth, trying not to laugh. "Of course I did, what else was I supposed to do?" Dazai huffed out which got a laugh out of Sero. "I don't know...maybe do what the rest of us were doing?" Dazai shrugged at the suggestion as Mina let go of Chuuya and laughed softly. "It was fun to watch on the TV!" She said with a grin. "Of course it was, Chibi makes a great circus act!" Dazai said matter of factly, Chuuya rolling his eyes in annoyance. "You were the clown moron! She's saying you looked funny riding on my back!" Chuuya shot back as he turned to look at Dazai who was smirking. "He got you there," Sero intervened with a soft laugh.
