"I-"
"Oh we're his siblings!" Yuto said happily.
Aizawa glared at Emi, "Why did you let them say that?" He whispered.
"I didn't know that they were going to say anything!" She defended.
Aizawa sighed and sat down at his desk, "Get to know each other as a sleep."
"Okay well yeah! I'm Ayano Aizawa, and that's Yuto Aizawa! We're twins and your teacher's children!"
"Wait- if your Aizawa's children, and Shinsou's siblings then.. Shinsou is Aizawa's secret love child?!" Todoroki yelled from the back.
"No. Actually Hitoshi is adopted." Emi said with a smile.
"Oh that makes sense, since he looks nothing like you or the twins.." Midoriya mumbled.
"But umm, why are you here?" Hitoshi asked, quietly.
"Oh yeah! We're here to talk about-" She paused mid sentance, and walked over to wake up Aizawa, "Are you sure about this, considering..." She whispered to him.
"Oh yeah.. Hitoshi you need to step out for this. We'll train in the gym. Let's go." He sighed as he and Hitoshi walked out.
"Alright, now that that's taken care of, we're here to talk about-" she was cut off by Aizawa who opened the door and said, "You too Todoroki." And the boy left as well.
Emi sighed, "Okay, now if I could finish talking... we're here to talk about signs of abuse. It's a thing you will need to know if you wanna become a hero." She stated.
"Signs of abuse..?" Kirishima asked, "Like bruises or scars?"
"Not necessarily, although those could be a factor." Ayano said.
"Some more obvious signs are injuries, certain fears, or nervousness when talking about family or friends." Yuto stated.
"Some less obvious things are flinches, weight loss, lack of talk about home life, etc." Ayano added.
"There are a few different types of abuse, like Physical abuse, where injuries or starvation occur, mental abuse, where fear and mental illnesses are exploited, and emotional abuse, where a person uses the emotional attachment of the victim to hurt them." Emi explains, "Your two classmates who were taken out were victims of abuse. Shoto-kun was physically abused, and Hitoshi was physically and mentally abused." She finished.
Everyone knew about Todoroki's abuse from his dad but Shinsou? Really? They had never knew..
