It'll only get better//Todoroki x oc/reader

Chapter 20

Luckily, the interrogation didn't take too long since school was closed down early anyways due to the villain attack.

This meant that you had just enough time to sneak into your bedroom window as you heard the front door open.

You collapsed onto your bed in exhaustion and was about to get some rest but apparently the 'universe' *cough cough author* wouldn't let you catch a break.

"Mitsuki! Training time, get down here!" Your father called from the living room having already walked into the house and set his things down from work.

You huffed and managed to put on a cheery voice to fool your father. "Coming dad!" You replied back. Putting on your training gear, you were relieved to find out that you surprisingly didn't get injured from the battle that occurred just moments ago.

'How ironic that I get injured from training but not even a scratch from an actual villain fight.' You rolled your eyes at the thought and left your room.

You were now standing in front of your father. The two of you were stretching for your training when you decided to shed some information.

"Um dad there's something I need to tell you" you said, for some reason not feeling as scared than you usually are when you talk to him.

He sent a glare in your direction which somehow didn't frighten you as much as it usually does. 'Maybe the villain fight really did give me a confidence boost' you pondered as you waited for him to reply.

"Yeah yeah I know about that little villain encounter that your class faced so what?" He said, sounded uninterested and kind of seemed more invested in fighting you.

You tired to not be hurt by his uncaring attitude and continued. "W-well the leader of the villains 'has his eyes on me' so I think I'm basically a walking target for them." You said trying not to get too overwhelmed by your statement.

Just thinking about it was bad enough, talking about it just made you feel all icky.

His eyes unnervingly lit up after hearing that and he started to get an idea of what you were implying. "Ah, the league of villains after my daughter huh? At least they could realise just how powerful you've become with my help." He boasted mostly to himself.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something else. "Hold on, you're telling me this because you want to get stronger huh? Since you hold some significance now." You flinched at the way he put it but ultimately you were thinking the same thing.

He rubbed his hands together in enthusiasm and let out a cackling laugh. "Well I was going to train you harder for the incoming U.A sports festival anyways but I'm sure we can up the anti a bit."

Even though you hate to admit it, he's the only person who can train you to your limits without worrying about your health or feelings which is what you need right now.

'I can't afford to waste time, I need to get stronger as soon as possible.' You gripped your hands tightly and faced him head on.

"Please train me as you see fit" You bowed your head deeply to prove your point.

In no time at all, you were gasping for air as your father began to extract the air from your lungs. You collapsed onto the ground and before you could pass out, you were filled up with oxygen once again.

Your cruel father patted your head and tilted you chin up to face him. "As you wish."

"Omg Mitsuki are you ok? You look exhausted!" You heard Mina gasp from beside you.

It was a few days after the USJ attack and in those few days your father has been training you relentlessly to be prepared in the future.
