This detention especially sucked. You usually hate how quiet it is and then feel relieved whenever any mumble of noise comes across but hearing Iida angrily sigh while starring directly at you for an hour sucked balls.

You decided to catch up on homework in that hour while Iida decided to watch you fill in all the questions with wrong answers. This sheet was due two days ago as well so he might be sighing about that.

Leaving that room felt like leaving a pressure tank. You could move so freely and make as much noise as you want. However, Iida did not seem pleased with that.
"I've just had one detention because of you. If you keep messing around in the corridors we'll get another." He states with grit teeth. You stop your freedom to give him a frown.
"Really, how many sticks are up your ass? Just relax for a bit, okay? There's no harm in enjoying the moment." Iida doesn't seem to like what you're saying, he tuts while looking down on you.

"We just had detention. This is barely a moment to celebrate." He states with an undertone of anger and ticked off facial expression. You simply stick your tongue out at him and begin to walk appropriately to His standards.

Iida lives in the same area as the train station. You figured this out a few weeks ago but you've decided to ignore it. You kept walking into him while heading home, plus you also saw him enter his rich boy house. Seriously it's a bloody mansion.

You've tried to avoid walking home with Iida, it is in neither of your interests to spend more than the required five hours together. Even then you'd rather sit with Mineta than this classy boy.

"We have an English test next week. Present Mic told us that we will need to revise. I'm telling you this since I doubt you listened in class." Iida looks straight forwards while talking, he's trying to seem better than you in every way he can.
"Hey, I actually listen in English." You retaliate with a scowl.
"The stack of pens you made in our last lesson would disagree. Sir said that if we get anything less than Eighty Percent (80%), we'll get an immediate Lunch Time detention and I know that I don't want to waste more of my time in that classroom with you than what is already necessary."
"Good. I don't want to spend more time with you either!" You snap back and feel an empty swirl inside.
"Good, then to avoid that you'll need tutoring-- Don't interrupt me," he glares down underneath his glasses just as you're about to speak. "If we don't get another detention tomorrow, then I'll teach you after class at my house. I have plenty of books and notes there that should successfully lead to you not failing and dragging us both down."

You don't like the way he talks to you. He always speaks down to you. He glares and he's harsh, at least you try to be nice when speaking with him. He's just cold and cruel. He thinks the worst of you. he makes you feel dumb and irrelevant.
You see the train station up ahead and sigh.

"Thanks but I don't need your help. I can pass that test on my own." You state and leave Iida slightly surprised. He mumbles some words to try and get your attention back but you continue to head into the train station and decide to ignore whatever he has to say.

He must just enjoy making you feel like this. This, this, this swirl feeling, it feels toxic. Like it could erode you away into nothing. It's similar to that feeling you get when teleporting under stress. You get this feeling whenever you see Iida. You just know he's going to say bad stuff about you. You hear his friends whisper and look at you in class. It's like you're a zoo animal to them.
You don't really want to go to that school anymore. But it's U.A. And who would give up U.A? Only an idiot would drop out of a school like that, well that's unless they have a backup plan or they're moving to somewhere better.

You've heard people in your class discuss why they want to become heroes. Some people said for money, others said because they've always admired heroes. But you? You don't know what you're doing it for. You've seen humanity, they're cruel, lazy, mean. You've seen people who act smart and you've seen people acting like fools. You see fools a lot in your parents' pub.
The most sensible reason as to why you want to be a hero is probably that humans suck and you just want to get rid of the extra sucky ones.

What would your class think of that? Iida would probably tell you how that's wrong or childish. He'd have that strict face and everything. When his mouth goes small and his eyebrows practically connect. Ah, that feeling again. He's such an asshole, why can't he just leave you alone.

Even when he's not here, he manages to pester you. You still doubt yourself and you still question everything and then you have the weight of Iida's judgement to drag along too.
Maybe he'll leave you alone one day. Though, if you get him expelled then you won't hear the end of it until death. Iida would probably even haunt you and keep you up at night while still complaining about how you shouldn't have refused the revision help for the upcoming English test.
You're gunna pass it! You don't care how much revision it takes. You know the language well enough already. It can't be too hard.
