[Honestly, his greatest asset was always going to be surprise. His quirk being known was really crippling. Anyone could choose to just not answer him. He needed to be able to physically manage his opponents even without his quirk.]
[Part of that was probably why he was just a bit Eraserhead fan.]
Yeah. [At some point, even Midoriya could be his enemy in getting into the hero course and earning that recognition. He doesn't want to think about it. Still, some part of him felt like he shouldn't lay down all his cards, just in case.]
I can't wait to see. [His grin is a little predatory as they head into the locker room to change from uniform to PE clothes.]
[Izuku's practically vibrating with a sense of eagerness by the time they've changed into their gym uniforms and reached the mats. And, of course, he sets his notebook right on top of his bag, ready for whatever adjustments he might need to make to Shinsou's page.]
Okay! [Izuku hops on his feet to warm up a bit.] I promised I'd show you first.
[And with that, Izuku's speeding off, energy crackling over his skin. The gym's spacious, but there's barely anything Izuku can use to propel himself off of. So, all he does is race from one end of the gym to the other, skidding to a stop in front of Shinsou when he's done. The whole thing barely takes any time at all.]
[If the display took time, Shinso might think about spying on that notebook. However, he doesn't even have time to consider it. How did that even work? That was entirely different from how his quirk had worked at the sports festival. It looked like a proper quirk, not one that backfired and blew out his body.]
Impressive. [he bites back a hint of creeping jealousy. Even knowing that he started late, even knowing how dangerous it was before...]
And no messed up bones or anything? [he tilts his head, looking at the exposed skin for any of that dark, distorted color.]
Not anymore! [Izuku bounces on his feet a little, beaming. Though he knows he's still got a long way to go before really mastering One for All, he's happy about the progress he's made so far. With this, he can fight and protect his friends.]
It's a lot weaker, though, in terms of power. I still can't use a lot of it all at once or my bones will break again.
[It doesn't feel weird, telling Shinsou all of this, when he already knows that Izuku got his quirk much later in life than everyone else. It's only natural that he'd have trouble handling that much power at first.]
