Shoto heaved deep and long breaths, the exhaustion almost closing upon him.
"Shoto, are you sure about this?"
He averted his gaze to look into her amber ones, which reflected in a worried emotion. He reassured her once again, "Yeah. Just...", a deep, shuddering breath escaped his lips. "....Continue whatever you're doing. I'm getting the hang of it."
Airi was deeply concerned, and most certainly unconvinced with his assurance, but nevertheless she complied. From afar, she was sat in a kneeled down position, chanting several spells under her breath whilst she clasped her hands in front of her chest to maintain the realm's form.
It was the next day, and Shoto had requested for the girl to train together. In order to gain full experience of the battle he will be encountering with his oldest brother, Airi was the perfect training partner. Since she possessed a type of flame similar to Toya's, in fact, infinitely higher and stronger than his.
Specifically for his training, Airi had developed an ability to reveal Shoto's eyes to the Netherworld, without the existence of her entities. It was a technique she had recently learnt from the first withholder's book, and it was her first time using it. A large, semi circular translucent barrier of her violet flames with a few meters in diameter filled in the side of the forest. Anybody within the area could feel the high intensity of her flames, so she had advised her other friends earlier to not step close within the borders of the barrier.
They were sat in a position few meters apart. Airi, although she was busy focusing to maintain the control of this make shift barrier, she would also open one of her eyes occasionally to check upon his condition.
Shoto's heterochromic eyes focused on his tightly clasped hands in front of his chest, the blue and red hues of flames combined emerging from his body. She couldn't deny this technique of his was extremely useful and strong, especially since he managed to stay conscious in her Netherworld. A realm constantly surrounded by her hellfire flames.
A total of 10 minutes has passed.
Unbeknownst to the pair, a few of their classmates had also gathered by the sides of the dormitory to watch their training. They had kept a safe distance between the barrier as instructed by the girl. Bakugou had also finished his training with Midoriya on the other side of the building, his attention immediately snatched by the large barrier of Airi's flames.
"Can someone explain what I'm seeing now?", Midoriya asked, just joining the group.
Mina chose to answer, "Shoto's trying to train his body to withstand really high temperatures. So Mari's helping him."
