"So, thing is, Shoto's the only one Endeavor wanted to train on his own," Burnin explained. "But don't worry, us sidekicks will take good care of you other four."

That's strange. I believe the Chairwoman was telling the heroes who were doing these work study programs to train their students well. Now, I realize that this is a product of Hawks' digging.

"I'm here because I was told I could watch the number one hero work up close!" Bakugo shouted.

"You'll still see him!" Midoriya argued. "Please calm down, Kacchan!"

"This isn't how I expected things to play out," Todoroki admitted. "I'll try talking to him."

Endeavor came out of his office with a stern look on his face. I wonder if he figured out the message. "Shoto. Deku. Bakugo. Circula. Hysteria. I'll look after you five myself."

Katsumi and I separated from the boys, so we could all change into our uniforms. Once we were finished, we met in one of the training rooms.

The number one hero stood in front of us, arms crossed. "You boys... and girls are now under my tutelage."

The white-haired girl stifled a laugh. "Tutelage."

"Katsumi!" I nudged her ribcage.

Endeavor called out to us. "Deku. Bakugo. Circula. Hysteria. Before we begin, tell me about yourselves. What are you currently capable of? What weaknesses do you need to improve upon?"

Midoriya went first. "I want to perform at my fullest. but to do that, I'll need to gain better control over my power."

"How interesting," the number one hero nodded. "Your quirk is so strong that it hurts you. Is that right?"

"Yes," the green haired boy confirmed. "I've learned to control it enough that I don't usually injure myself. However... uh..." Dear God, not this again. "Recently, there's, uh... this other thing." He began to mutter about his new power, pissing both the pro and Bakugo off.

"Show me," Endeavor commanded.

Raising his left hand, Midoriya shot out a small part of Black Whip, which was about the size of his pointer finger. "If I concentrate, I can release the small amount I can handle. This is the most that I can manage for right now. If I'm not careful, then untamed energy explodes out of me."

"What do you mean by performing to your fullest?" The man questioned. "Explain your power."

"It seems flexible like a whip and could be super versatile. I want to turn this risky thing into a useful weapon. I guess the truth is I'm trying to see if I can figure out how to control it the same way I learned to do with Air Force. Oh, right, Air Force is a whole other thing..."

Midoriya continued to explain his power for the next five minutes. He really committed to detail there.

"He talked so much, I totally lost the thread," Burnin sighed.

"Quite the self-analysis," Todoroki remarked.

"Shut up!" Bakugo snarled.

"All I heard was yapping," Katsumi shrugged.

"Well, at least he's self-aware of what he needs to improve on," I sweat dropped.

"I see," the pro nodded. "At heart, you're saying that you want to be able to constantly adjust power levels when you're fighting?"

"Yes."

Burnin was baffled. "You understood him?! No wonder you're number one, sir!"

"You've had trouble with your quirk," Endeavor continued. "Trust me when I tell you you're not alone." He faced Bakugo. "You. Your turn."
