Chapter 17

Did he perhaps... have a life of his own before becoming a part of the League?

---

Y/n was dying. She was sure of it. There was no way that she wasn't about to collapse right about now.

"Come on now, L/n-chan, don't tell me you're giving up already!" said Yaomomo cheerfully from beside the teenage girl. Currently, L/n was doing a second round of chin-ups on one of her classmate's training machines. Yaoyorozu was doing some kind of leg workout next to her on another machine, without breaking a sweat. L/n normally did a bit of exercise, but never did anything to seriously boost her strength, so this right here was pain.

The h/c-haired girl pulled herself up for the seventh time in a row, and then fell off the machine, her head bonking itself on a piece of equipment below, effectively giving her a concussion and leaving her curled up on the floor, tears forming a small pool of salty water next to her eyes.

"Yaomomo, how much more..."

Her friend looked at her sadly.
"L/n-chan, we can take a five minute break if you want to."

L/n said nothing. She just lay on the mat in tears.

"We only have to do twenty more minutes. Don't worry, L/n-chan! You're doing great, you already got through almost an entire hour! I'm proud of you! So please don't cry!"

L/n sniffed.

"We can have snacks after this?"

L/n's eyes flared up. "I'M DOING THIS FOR THE SNACKS!!" she yelled, and started doing chin-ups again, this time looking determined and full of energy.

Half an hour later, the pair sat on the miniature gym's benches, breathing hard. L/n chugged down a full bottle of water, Yaoyorozu doing the same not much later.

"Hey Yaomomo?"

"Yeah?"

"Why don't you just use your quirk to get rid of fat? You know, instead of working out?"

"Oh, if you only get rid of fat, your body will start eating up the muscles you have to use for energy! Plus, I need to keep some of my fat, or else I wouldn't be able to use my quirk at all." she looked down for a moment, her ever-present smile wavering. "Plus, the last time I used my quirk like that, I was..."

L/n awkwardly patted Yaoyorozu's back. She made a small sound of surprise in response to the action. "Um, how are you doing now?" asked L/n.

Yaoyorozu's fists unclenched. "Better. Thanks for worrying."

"Anyways, how about that snack I mentioned earlier?"

"YES!" said the h/c-haired girl, pumping a fist in the air. Her eyes suddenly widened like a deer caught in front of the headlights. "I- I mean, sure." She tried to make her face neutral, but she was failing miserably.

Yaoyorozu giggled, and the atmosphere became light again.

'She's so bright,' Y/n thought. 'Like a ray of sunshine.'
She then shook her head. 'Stop thinking weird thoughts, Y/n!'

By the time the Sports Festival was only two days away, L/n had worked herself to death. Well, not really, but she felt really close.

Y/n had managed to finally build some muscle and skill when it came to regular hand-to-hand combat, but she still had barely any control over her quirk. During their training sessions, they didn't have enough time to focus on anything but physical training, so Y/n was left without being able to take off her eyepatch. Ah well, she'd lasted 10 years without taking it off outside, so she could go for another year, she guessed. It still kind of sucked, though.
