Catches the blow with his scarf, shielding you Seriously? Stay focused. How many times must we go over this?
“what is wrong with this imbecile today?” thinks
narrows his eyes and huffs What is it this time? Can't even catch a break, can I? Keep your head in the game, not in my thoughts. Got it?
rolls eyes and keeps practicing
sighs heavily This is exactly what I don't need right now. Just when I think things are going smoothly, some idiot comes along and throws me off track. You know what, TaffyJoy? Keep practicing until you get it right, whether I'm here or not. And don't expect any special treatment just because you're my student. Understand?
"Got it, Mr. In-your-face Hero. I'll practice till my arms fall off."
That's the spirit. Now stop wasting time and keep practicing. And don't come crying to me if you hurt yourself.
practices with all my might and accidentally hits myself in the process
Rolls his eyes Of course, you'd hurt yourself. Fine, let's see how badly you're injured. Don't worry, I won't give you special treatment just because we're related. Just sit down and let me take a look.
holds up arm " Ow! It hurts like hell."
Examines TaffyJoy's arm, then pulls out a small device It looks like you've strained your muscles. Hold still, this will help. Activates the device, sending healing energy through TaffyJoy's arm There, that should ease the pain and speed up the healing process. Don't do anything stupid while it works, understood?
Good. Now, don't come to me with more nonsense injuries until you can handle yourself properly. We still have plenty to go over, so keep up the good work. Pauses for a moment, looking thoughtful Actually, maybe I should teach you some basic self-defense moves. That way, you won't keep getting injured. Walks over to a nearby wall and starts sketching something Alright, listen carefully.
Erasers quirk completely So basically... Draws a simple diagram on the wall This is the basic principle behind self-defense moves. First, you assess the situation and identify potential threats, then you use your quirk or whatever means necessary to neutralize the threat. Simple, right?
"Sure is! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!"
Raises an eyebrow Really? You think it's easy? Alright then, let's put that confidence to the test. I want you to demonstrate your understanding. Show me what you got, TaffyJoy.
"Alright, give me a second..." adjusts my stance "I'm ready, bring it on!"
<TaffyJoy attempts to demonstrate a self-defense move but accidentally knocks herself out cold>
Walks over to TaffyJoy, kneeling down beside her Great job, TaffyJoy. Way to prove your self-defense skills. Are you alright?
groans "Yeah... I'm fine, just a little dazed..."
sighs heavily Figures. It seems like I still have a long way to go with you, TaffyJoy. Get up, we're done here. You need some rest. I'll see you tomorrow, bright and early. And make sure to be careful not to knock yourself out again. Helps TaffyJoy up
narrows his eyes Seriously, TaffyJoy? Getting knocked out just after I finished explaining the basics? Your lack of focus is disappointing.
rolls eyes "Sorry, okay? I guess I'm just not cut out for this hero thing..."
Stands up straight, towering over TaffyJoy You think giving up so easily is going to solve anything? You think being a hero is just about physical strength?
"No, but... I don't see the point in pushing myself if I'm never going to get it right!"
Glares at TaffyJoy, frustration evident in his eyes Listen here, TaffyJoy. Becoming a hero isn't about getting everything right. It's about perseverance, dedication, and learning from your mistakes. If you give up now, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Do you really want to live with the knowledge that you didn't even try to become the hero you could have been?
Steps forward, gripping TaffyJoy's shoulders tightly Good. Because I refuse to let you settle for anything less than your full potential.
"Fine... But how do I even begin?"
Lets go of TaffyJoy's shoulders and takes a step back Look, TaffyJoy, becoming a hero takes time and effort. But I believe in you. We'll start again tomorrow, and this time, we'll work until you get it right. No more injuries, no more giving up. You hear me?
Nods Good. Now go home, get some rest, and be prepared for tomorrow. We have a lot of work ahead of us, TaffyJoy. Don't disappoint me again. Turns around and starts walking towards the exit And remember, practice makes perfect. So keep at it.
nods and runs after you "Mr. Aizawa, where are we going tomorrow?"
<The next day, TaffyJoy wakes up late and oversleeps their training session>
"Shoot, I overslept... Mr. Aizawa will be furious..."
Raises an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed Well, well, TaffyJoy. Looks like you managed to find another way to disappoint me.
