RINGGGGG!

Done. Finally.

I force myself to my feet, grabbing my pile of folders and notebooks sitting on my desk.

The words from Aizawa echoed through my ears.

"...combative skills in case something doesn't work in your favor..."

But what-? What did I possibly have to offer towards strength?

I walk out of the classroom, swiftly beginning down the hallway. I drift back into my thoughts quickly.

I'm not like Uirusu and Shimizu with agility...nor like Hana and Gomu with their easily manipulated quirks. Bakugou with his flashy quirk...Takami with her natural talent for flying and even more.

Kirishima...Todoroki....and even Midoriya. How could I match them with strength-?

A sudden tap on my shoulder jolts me out of my thoughts. I even become startled slightly, peering over my shoulder. My gaze meets Todoroki.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you," he says calmly, removing his hand from my shoulder swiftly.

I smile softly at him, a slight wave of ease towards him.

"No, it's fine-what do you need?"

Todoroki begins to walk beside me at an even pace. He looks ahead of him with a slight look of curiosity.

"I noticed you walked after Uraraka, Tsu, and Mina yesterday evening..."

I glance at him.

"...did things end up ok?" He finishes, not even meeting my gaze. Rather keeping it ahead of us as we walked down the hall towards the exit.

"Oh well um, yeah things ended up alright. It was the usual between them. Bakugou being too prideful and Midoriya..."

I stop. Was there even a reason why Bakugou was targeting him in every training yet? Yes, Midoriya's quirk was the reason for his own downfall every time. But that didn't even include Bakugou...

Todoroki glances at me, noticing my sudden silence.

"Midoriya-?"

"I don't even know...his quirk seems to bring him down every time. But I don't know how that relates to Bakugou..."

I notice Todoroki examine my expression before turning his gaze back ahead of him.

"I see-" He murmurs.

We make it to the front door, Todoroki opens the door. I smile slightly.

"Thank you-"

Todoroki gives a stern nod. I look away awkwardly before speaking up, breaking the silence.

"Sorry-"

Todoroki peers over at me, a hint of confusion tinting his face.

"Why-?"

I meet his gaze.

"Probably rambled your ear off, probably didn't even answer your question-"

Todoroki doesn't react at all but rather shakes his head slightly.

"You answered my question."

I snicker awkwardly.

"Alright, good"

Todoroki turns away, beginning on his way with no other word mentioned.

I watch as he leaves down the street.
