It's like a shared secret, though it's mixed with some terrible things. It's not the first time Midoriya's had that kind of secret. No one but the small handful of witnesses in an alley in Hosu City would know that one of his friends chased down a violent criminal to kill him in revenge. It's not a hero's job to take vengeance, except perhaps to capture a villain for someone else's safety. Saving people always comes first.

He grins back. He often studies on his own, but he treasures his friendships, old and new. He didn't have any in junior high. Being friends with Midoriya means helping each other out and growing stronger together. Not long after arriving in Deer Country, he sought sparring partners to help continue the practice he'd be getting with his classmates. There's another imbalance he's been subconsciously trying to even out: Midoriya keenly feels the absence of his main rival. So, if a touch more fierceness than strictly necessary creeps into his grin, it's because he's channeling him.

He scribbles Gii-na-zu down in Japanese syllabary, wondering if he's spelling it right. He's mentally listing the merits and demerits of allowing a weapon to leave one's hand. Then he focuses with rapt attention on Paul. Slow enough to see? That makes him want to measure the speed of his Full Cowl against its true speed. He forgets himself as he sucks in a quick breath. He's analyzing which moves he might be able to adapt, and which would be impossible without some serious dedication--
