As the U.A sports festival approached I decided to train myself and for that I needed a partner. I walked over to Bakugo "Yo jackass wanna spar with me for a while?" He growled in response "What did you call me?" I smirked "You heard me so you down?" I laughed as he got in my face "You're on!"
We walked to the field outside the school "Just so you know I'm not using my bat." We charged at each other as usual Bakugo got some chip hits in. Each explosion allowed him to outmaneuver me, so I bid my time and took hits. He swung at me with his left and I caught it and as I was about to land a knee I caught an explosion to the face. While I still connected, he reduced the force by interrupting my momentum. "Clever Bakugo Cleve."
We continued for a couple hours trading blows repeatedly I learned to predict Bakugo's moves and he got better too. With each attack we got closer to the end often connecting attacks at the same time until we both just collapse. I breathe heavy as we lay there "That was the best!" Bakugo looks at me "What are you on about?"
I sit up and face him "Fighting I love it." Bakugo glared at me a moment "Explain loser." I smile wide "Just think about! You can win or lose, and you learn something, and you can learn more fighting with someone than you can just asking!" I put my thumb at my heart "Because in combat this is always honest no matter what!" Bakugo looks at me dumbfounded.
We get up and leave for the day as I lay in bed, I ponder what kind of hero I want to be until I drift off to sleep.
The next day I walk in looking perplexed until Nezu pops up. "What has you troubled Travis?" I look at him for a moment "Sir I wonder about the state of things." He looks at me "What do you mean?" I sigh "I think the things all might did were amazing but what's really changed?" Nezu smiles and nods "You wonder if what All Might set up was the thing people needed." I look at him "Yes, there's no doubt it's amazing but there are those that suffer in silence and darkness with no way forward and I want to be that hero because things can't stay this way!" I hear him clap "Well-spoken it's a wonderful goal to aspire too."
I get up after our discussion and go to class and then I train with Bakugo which we will repeat until the sports festival arrives. Me and Bakugo get up to go spar and are blocked by a group of students. I listen as Bakugo talks "They're scouting us." As he steps forward "Move Extras." As I listen to Shinso talk I snap and pull Shinso in by the collar of his shirt "What do you know asshole say that to them!" He looked somewhat frightened. "You stood there running your mouth like you know everything but you're not the one that faced a possible death we did so don't run your fucking mouth!" As I finished yelling at him, I tossed him into the hallway, and I spoke up again "And for the rest of you go train if you want results but I doubt many of you have trained even a day since you're here instead!" I storm out pulling Izuku by the back of his collar.
