[It will. Otherwise, there's no point in any of this they've done. Saving, fighting, all of it. They have to come out with a world that's better for everyone, but not some idyllic place that ignores consequences of actions.]
Don't think you're gonna dance your way out of a fucking fight, but bankshotting your electricity at a certain angle could save someone you can't reach.
Ever think about it that way?
[Zig zag or not, there's something to be said about not excusing what should be attempted. He's not telling Kaminari to not have fun or whatever, but there's merit to this stuff they're learning. Even if it's boring to people.]
[ They know the gray zone by now, so they should be able to make a world that's good for everyone, not just the most popular heroes. ]
I mean dancing out of a battle sounds like dodging with style! ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) but no I get what you mean and I know it's important babe! just that stuff I DO know don't come up often since it's not hero or school related.
Like batteries and electric charges or that I'm really well-read OR that I'm getting a C+ in English because of all the new trends I'm into is mostly American stuff.
[ He knows, and he knows that Bakugou knows. It's just hard sometimes, especially when this thing happens - he has intense knowledge of something, and then everything else about his dumbness is questioned. ]
[Depends. It may sound easy in theory, but the reality is far more problematic. The villains, corrupted heroes, skeletons in the closet, society with all its uneven elements... And despite their involvement in the thick of things, they're still just a bunch of high school kids.]
You wanna add "style" to your fucking "move outta the way" thought process? You'll delay your reaction time.
If we ever encounter some asshole with a Dance Quirk, I'll direct them your way.
[Actually more like he'll knock the bastard the fuck out cause Denki has more important things to waste his time on than some stupid villain looking to dance jewels out of a store.]
Don't think comics count as really well-read.
[But he has a point on his English grades. Katsuki was surprised to learn that, even if he did make up a few challenges to test him right then and there.]
[ Yeah, and who sends children into a huge villain battle? It's almost like they're training soldiers and not heroes... ]
I'll dance the shit out of them!
[ He can zap them and dance over their unconscious body as a compromise. ]
Book-books Kacchan! How do you think I knew who Hemmingway is?? Remember how I talked when we first met, what I said about your personality? BOOKS. (and comics too)
[ Shrug. ]
I wouldn't have gotten a B+ if I didn't panic on the latest test again. Mic-sensei almost looked sad.
[When the adult heroes are backing out and not wanting to face the results of their lackadaisical efforts and mistakes, the heroes who will step up to fight are going to. Regardless of what age they are. It's experience, motivation, determination. Age is a fucking non-factor.
If anyone going into the hero course expects to only step up when the sun's shining and there's just one or two villains holding up a convenience store, they should give the fuck up and leave. Heroes fight, in battle, in war, as soldiers and as heroes.]
Better hope you can. They might have more hours than you.
[Beware the DDR King, the man whose life blood is quarters.]
Trivia night or a game show question.
[And no, he does not remember. He didn't give a shit about the dunce head over there. Didn't care about what anyone had to say about him. They were just a bunch of extras.
[ It's a fine line between what's too much and what is needed for a hero. They're first-years yet have seen more action than some new pros already. Against A and S-class villains, even! They shouldn't even have internships yet, but everything is hurried up because of the danger that's brewing. Their society really need a reform... but not the kind the villains want. ]
I mean even if it would have been a trivia question I held on to that and not what I learned yesterday.
[ Sigh. ]
Yeah, we do. I was doing fine and then I just didn't remember anything. Like I was in whey-mode but like... THERE at the same time.
[Bakugou's not been bothered by all of that. He recognizes it's a big ass problem if the heroes are relying on a bunch of high school students to fill in their ranks, both due to the number of villains crawling out of the walls (one problem) and the heroes retiring due to social disappointment (two other entirely different problem), but hell if he's not excited and determined to be treated like a fucking Pro Hero if he's tackling shit that other Pros can't handle! He always was aiming for the top and this is one more step to get there!]
Maybe you retain shit for different reasons. Something important about Hemmingway that resonated with you?
[Or there was a strong memory attached to the piece of information. Anything.]
How far in the test did you get? Or was it first question and you fucking blanked?
[ Kaminari was never aiming for the top hero spot so maybe his stance on it is more lax. He'll be happy if he's even in the top 10, but doubts that will happen. At least he's used to being #20 in class.
...and speaking of; ]
Immediately. Ectoplasm even told me I spelled my own name wrong on the last math test.
[#20 in class is not good, Kaminari... Bakugou has no intention of letting his boyfriend graduate at the bottom of his class, especially not when the blonde's aiming for the top spot (though fucking Four Eyes and Ponytail are being assholes and refusing to budge).

Your literature report got high marks. You're improving.
You're not one to let stupid failures stop you.
[Harder for him to let failures spur him into improvement though, but Bakugo's working on that with him.]
no subject
I'm not letting it stop me. I just wish I know why I freak out so much. I got over the battle panic, but not this.
no subject
Maybe the Dominatrix can help with that.
[Bakugou could, but he'd have to read up on it first, since he's never had that problem.]
