Diverting your plot

19 - Class A, B, C.

Sup yall! Now... Back to where we left! (Sorry it's not as long as last chap-)

"No need. I usually fight without it. My quirk..." The rest of the words said by the blonde could only be remembered as a blur for the tired teacher who leaned against the wall of the observation room.

Without her quirk, huh?

Aizawa found it both amusing and worrying. Amusing as the world of heroism heavily revolves around the use of quirks, there really isn't a single thing that doesn't revolve around quirks. Worrying, because of how she responded when her classmate asked her to elaborate.

The way Toga talked about her quirk didn't sit right with him.

Her eyes had been fixed with an odd intensity on the other student with her body stiffening at every word she said. The air around them was tense, like they were tip toeing on the edge of an unstable cliff high up in the air. Like any small movement, a whisper or even just a simple breath, could lead to her doom.

Aizawa has been both a teacher and pro hero long enough to sense something was awfully wrong just from her body language. He was even more convinced of it by the girl's tone of voice.

Something about it was just too anxious, too dreadful and hell he'd even say scared.

His eyes narrowed slightly, listening in with stealth. Was this truly the same girl he saw fight so fiercely in the entrance exam with a single knife? He doubted something changed her mindset so drastically in the span of a few months. But he couldn't deny that he didn't expect her to be so reluctant talking about her quirk.

Transform, a tricky quirk in his opinion.

He knows that a quirk like hers, based on drinking blood, can sound scary to most. Not the type that'd get you popular on the hero charts or gain the civilians' applause, but still it was a quirk with great potential.

Toga however didn't seem to think the same. She cut the description of her quirk short, leaving it no space to have importance during the planning, belittling it. Treating a part of herself like a small rock in her shoe that she wanted to get rid off but couldn't, so she just ignored it completely. It's not unusual for teenagers to see their quirk as something not worthy when they see much more powerful quirks in action, but it doesn't make it right at all.

Is she insecure about her quirk?

It's likely to be why Toga isn't as determined while talking about her quirk. She seemed to know well the pros and cons of her own quirk from the little he heard her talk. She was almost too aware that her quirk won't help her in this exercise.

From how she worded it, Aizawa was sure his student didn't plan on using it anytime soon. She's capable of holding her own without it that much is true, but that doesn't change the fact that she'll have to train her quirk too at some point.

He isn't against giving some drops of blood, but he has a feeling the hard part would be convincing the girl to drink the blood. Even throughout his career of teaching insecure students they were at least willing to use their quirks, but this girl acted like she wanted nothing to do with quirk training.

At the Quirk assessment test, she was the only one who didn't use her quirk. She didn't ask for blood, zero intention of asking for some either. She passed the test thanks to what he assumes was a hard training schedule she followed most of her life, nothing more than that. And now, in the battle trials, she refused to acknowledge her quirk.

Two days and she hasn't even tried using her quirk.

If all his assumptions are correct, then that needs to change now.
