“Mm?” Aizawa raised his head from his desk, moving messy hair out of his eyes. He must have fallen asleep at his desk. The mentor looked to Kaminari, blinking at him for a moment to process his question. ”What do you need?” Shouta began. He gestured to a lone chair, offering Kaminari a spot across from his desk. ”’Suppose I have some time to talk if you want to.”
“Thank you, sir...”
At least Mr. Aizawa seemed open enough to conversation - which was a good first start, and a boost to Kaminari’s confidence. He feared the outcome of this chat, however, knowing that his teacher was never one to pull punches.
And these kinds of punches? They were the kind that Kaminari wasn’t sure he was ready to dodge.
He sat down with a sigh, fiddling with his fingers in his lap.
“I ... uh... jeez, this is gonna sound real stupid.” He took a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts. He was never good at communicating more serious issues. “In terms of my quirk - uh, do you...do you think it’s really one that’ll be useful some day. Like, will I ever be able to control it enough to take charge of a situation instead of sabotaging it?”
