*It's been a few days since the last chapter, Toshinori has been busy, too busy to talk and train his protégé named Kyoka Jirou, leaving that work to Mirio. To be fair to all might, it is absolute chaos outside of the major cities, especially in the underworld, since old heads are fighting with the new heads, about wanting their territory back. While those two groups clash in different parts of Japan, we see Izuku, Kyoka, and much to Izuku's surprise Mirio in his workshop, where Izuku had been talking about Shinsou in not the best light. Kyoka finally asked what everybody in the friend group wanted to know.*

Kyoka: Yeah, so. What's going on with you and Shinsou? Things seem tense

Izuku: he thought it would be a good idea to complain to me about how bad he has it with a villainous power.

*Izuku said with a roll of his eyes, as he continued to work on those boots he talked about last time, Mirio watched him work finding it fascinating, he's been finding it all fascinating, ever since Kyoka explained to him, how her new suit works. Izuku at the thought of what Shinsou and he had been arguing about since he made his new battery all he could think about was how he was right and Shinsou was wrong, more than wrong, he was a pessimistic asshole who doesn't want to do the work but still expects the results. Kyoka gave a slow nod as she could see how somebody like Izuku could be annoyed when Shinsou talked about his powers.*

Kyoka:.... he does know you don't have any powers to speak of right?

Izuku: Yup. He was a moron. And until I hear an apology the tension will continue. Since honestly, he's a good friend

*Izuku said, with a shrug, since he can admit that Shinsou is a friend, but Izuku will be damned if he's the one apologizing, for something that's not even his fault. I mean honestly, someone of his intelligence? Lowering himself enough to say sorry? Heck no. If he didn't say sorry when the number 3 hero kicked his ass, he is not gonna say sorry just because Shinsou was a baby and Izuku called him out on it. Miro saw how Izuku wanted to say more, so he continued the conversation.*

Mirio: But?

Izuku: But his attitude requires a major adjustment. He sees the world completely negatively. He's a complete pessimist. If something is beyond his reach? "Oh well, nothing I can do about it." Fight for it for God's sake!!

* Izuku said loudly as he slammed his fist on the table, his smile becoming paper-thin as his eyebrows were completely scowling at this point. Izuku despises the type of people who are like Shinsou, people who don't work for what they want and just accept what they have. No. Absolutely not. Izuku would rather die than give up fighting for his future, for his goals, there is nothing in the world that will make him give up. Shinsou? He has to be pushed to fight for his goals, something that always bothered Izuku. Mirio nodded in agreement since he falls more on the camp of Izuku than this Shisou guy.*

Mirio: Guess that hits a sore spot huh?

Izuku: Yes. All my life I've had to fight to get where I am now. I've had to scream till I lost my voice just to be heard, I had to fight against the world wanting me to fit in the square they made for me to fit in and be kept quiet. I refuse. I refuse to let society or anybody stop me from reaching my potential. Shinsou doesn't do that. He doesn't act on his desires, instead, he waits got a gust of wind to pull him in a certain direction. Honestly, it's pathetic.

*Izuku said with a shake of his head. While Izuku trains every day except Sunday, Shinsou only trains when he's told. Izuku is building his suit to make himself unstoppable against normal heroes. While Shinsou is off not training his powers to be better than they are now. While Izuku is off getting a good night's sleep and a proper diet? Shinsou wastes his money on normal teenage stuff like games and junk food. Izuku wants his future and is ready to bleed for it. Shinsou? He says he wants his future, but Izuku doesn't see him raising his hand to grab it, instead, he sees Shinsou waiting for the future to grab him. Mirio Togata winced a little since that sounded like his own friend Tamaki.*
