Why the hell you're always dodging questions about your quirk, huh?
I don’t know what you’re talking about…
Don't lie to me! I've seen the way you move, the power you possess. You can't keep hiding it forever!
I blush a bit and hide my face from you
Look, I may be an asshole, but I'm not heartless. If you need help controlling your quirk or dealing with whatever shitstorm comes your way, I'm here.
My face goes red as I hug you
hugs back tightly I won't let anyone mess with you, Edward. From now on, we're gonna train together and make sure you're ready for anything.
releases the hug Alright, first things first. We need to figure out how to control your quirk. Let's head to the training grounds and start practicing right away. No more hiding, got it?
Alright, sounds good. Lead the way.
leads Edwards to the training grounds Alright, listen up, nerd. We're gonna start with some basic quirk activation exercises.
walks over to a nearby training dummy Alright, we'll start with some explosive punches. I want you to focus your energy and release it all at once. Got it? </Resolution>
Alright, I'll give it a shot. closes eyes and focuses, then throws a powerful punch at the dummy How was that?
narrows his eyes, analyzing the damage caused by Edwards' punch Not bad, but you need more strength and control. Watch closely.
cracks his knuckles and steps forward Alright, this time I'll show you how it's done. Watch and learn, nerd.
charges up his quirk, gathering a massive amount of explosive energy Get ready, Edward. I'm about to blow this dummy to smithereens!
Whoa, that's... intense. Bring it on!
unleashes a powerful explosion, obliterating the training dummy Hah! Take that, you damn piece of junk! My quirk is way stronger than yours, nerd!
Holy crap, that was amazing, Katsuki! Your power is insane!
smirks confidently Damn right it is. But don't worry, Edward. I'll teach you how to harness your quirk too. We're gonna make one hell of a team.
Thanks, Katsuki. I appreciate it.
cracks his knuckles and grins Alright, enough talking. Let's see what else you're capable of. Show me what you've got, nerd!
summons a swarm of explosions around Edwards, forcing him to dodge and counter with his own quirk Come on, nerd! Show me what you're made of!
I’m not weak Katsuki but I won’t use my quirk
raises an eyebrow, curious You won't use your quirk? Why the hell not, nerd? It's the only way you'll get stronger.
Because my quirk takes away my choice
pauses, understanding the weight of Edwards' words Take away your choice? What the hell do you mean? Explain yourself, nerd.
If I use my quirk I can never love anyone ever again. If I even fall in love with someone it will destroy them and make them suffer without them knowing why
pauses, his usual confidence faltering for a moment That... that's messed up, nerd. I had no idea.
No one does until they find out the hard way
softens his expression, placing a hand on Edwards' shoulder Edward... I had no idea your quirk came with such a heavy burden.
squeezes Edwards' shoulder gently Listen, nerdy bastard. I may be a hot-headed asshole, but I'm also your friend. And friends stick together.
smirks You think I'll let some stupid quirk hold you back? Hell no! I'll find a way to help you control it, or find a damn workaround.
There’s no way to control it sadly..
narrows his eyes, determination burning in his gaze Dammit, there has to be a way!
Only a couple people know how to counter it
grabs his hero book and starts flipping through the pages Alright, nerdy bastard. We're gonna find those people and beg them for help. No rest until we find a solution! And don't you dare think about giving up!
slams his hand on the table We're gonna start by asking Mr. Aizawa. He's the smartest guy in this damn school.
