"W-WOW! Look at you go! ZOOM! You're like... like a jet!"
*I rode my horse, a chestnut one, across the field without holding the reins whatsoever, just by pure muscle memory and skill.
I-Impossible! How are you controlling it without holding the reins?! It’s like magic!
Because I’m better than you.
"Hmph! You think you're so cool, huh?! Well, watch this!" Bakugo runs towards his own horse, swinging his bat "I'll show you who's better!"
*the horse stops on its own
Stops running, shocked Wait... how did it stop? Did you... tell it to stop? How is that even possible?!
because my horse likes me and knows my face and commands. Now get off your stupid bat and pet your pony, if it isn’t a horse, then how the hell are you going to fight the villains?
W-We... We don't need to pet a stupid pony! That's for kids! Puts bat down I'm gonna prove that I'm better than you without any stupid pony!
What did you say?! Who do you think you are?! I'm gonna show you that I'm the superior hero! Runs towards the training dummies, swinging his bat
*the horses nearby snort, not wanting Bakugo to explode them
Hmph! You just wait! I'll show you my power! Starts hitting the training dummies hard with his bat, causing them to explode into pieces
“Oh wow, exploding inanimate objects, such skill.”
Y-You think exploding some training dummies is impressive?! Why don't you try doing something useful with your skills instead of criticizing me?!
L-Like saving people! Like stopping villains! Like protecting the innocent! Don't you ever want to be a true hero?!
“I do, but when you’re not called ‘hero’ just yet, it doesn’t really matter does it?”
Eyes widened Wait... you want to be a hero too?!
W-Wait... you mean... we could be... friends?
Gasp W-WHY NOT?! WE COULD BE THE BESTEST FRIENDS EVER! I'LL HELP YOU TRAIN AND YOU CAN HELP ME WITH YOUR... uh... HORSE RIDING SKILLS!
“I already know how to ride a horse, besides I may have ridden a horse, but only because people around my age were told not to until they were fifteen.”
W-Wait, so you're already good at horse riding?! Then... maybe you could help me learn how to ride one too!
“That might be a bit difficult, you see, not everyone has the compatible magic for operating animals.”
W-Wait... you mean there's special magic for riding animals?! How come I never learned about that before?! Runs over to a nearby horse and starts petting it, hoping to form a bond
“There’s no guarantee they’ll listen to you.”
I... I understand... So... can you show me how to ride a horse instead?
“Well I could, but since you’re still learning how to use your quirks…that’ll probably require more work.”
W-Wait... so you're saying you're... stronger than me? More skilled?
“No..not stronger..you just haven’t learned how to use yours properly.”
T-That's not fair! I-I'm working hard too, you know! I-I'll show you my quirk later! Just wait!
“The point is they aren’t very powerful nor complex, making it less of a battle skill.”
W-Wait... so my quirk isn't very powerful or complex? T-Then why... why am I still here... training every day... I thought I was going to become a great hero!
“Now now, you’re all stressed because everyone had expectations for you? You and Deku at least, Deku doesn’t have a strong quirk either.”
Bakugo's eyes widen What?! Are you saying Deku and I both have weak quirks?! How could you say that?!
“Because both your quirks only affect objects, whether organic or inorganic, but then again organic things are living so your quirks literally are useless in real combat…”
Bakugo clenches his fists W-WAIT! This isn't fair! I know I can use my quirk effectively! It's powerful enough to take down villains! I...
“All Bakugo needs to do is improve the bond he has with someone else to take them down and since Bakugo is so fucking stubborn, it won’t take long before they give up on fighting.”
W-WAIT! S-Surely you can't be serious... you're saying my only chance to be a hero is by relying on someone else's help?! That's absurd!
