Before Deku and the others left U.A. for the second pivotal battle against All For One and Shigaraki...
- Hitoshi Shinso
*huff* *huff* Phew... I guess that's it for today.
- Mina Ashido
Oh, Shinso!
- Eijiro Kirishima
Still on the athletic field? Does that mean you're training?
- Hitoshi Shinso
Yes, I was just finishing up. Good luck with your training.
- Eijiro Kirishima
You got it!
- Mina Ashido
Hmm...
- Hitoshi Shinso
What's the matter?
- Mina Ashido
I mean, you'll be playing an important role to trick All For One, right?
- Mina Ashido
But you seem so calm right now.
- Eijiro Kirishima
If I were in your position, I would probably constantly train to distract myself.
- Hitoshi Shinso
I feel the pressure, but Mr. Aizawa trained me for a long time.
- Hitoshi Shinso
Now that he's injured, he can't supervise my training but...
- Hitoshi Shinso
I've completely memorized everything he taught me, so I should be okay.
- Hitoshi Shinso
(Right... I can fight as a hero thanks to Mr. Aizawa's teachings...)
Looking back to the time after the Class A and B joint combat training.
- Hitoshi Shinso
Looking forward to receiving your guidance, sir.
- Shota Aizawa
Right. Were you able to identify your weaknesses during the joint combat training?
- Hitoshi Shinso
Naturally, when opponents become aware of my Quirk, they tend to be very cautious.
- Hitoshi Shinso
I also displayed a lack of experience, and my decision-making in critical moments was somewhat poor.
- Shota Aizawa
You can just gain experience going forward. There's no need to rush.
- Shota Aizawa
Next, tell me what you gained from the joint combat training.
- Hitoshi Shinso
Right... The fact that my Quirk being known was actually a strength.
- Hitoshi Shinso
The opponent became suspicious that every voice they heard was my Quirk. It put restrictions on their movements.
- Hitoshi Shinso
It was more effective than I expected in blocking the opponent's communication tools and draining their mental resources.
- Shota Aizawa
You've mainly trained one-on-one with me, so learning that was big.
- Hitoshi Shinso
Plus... I guess this isn't related to the joint combat training, but...
- Shota Aizawa
Hm?
- Hitoshi Shinso
I once again felt that I didn't want to lose.
- Shota Aizawa
Heh. Glad you got some motivation out of it.
- Shota Aizawa
Now then, let's work on those weaknesses.
- Shota Aizawa
We can strengthen your movement and decision-making skills.
- Hitoshi Shinso
Yes! I'll do my best!
- Shota Aizawa
See, not cautious enough.
- Hitoshi Shinso
Ah!
- Shota Aizawa
You are too focused on me. It narrows your vision.
- Shota Aizawa
Maintain your concentration while being cautious of your surroundings. Let's start there.
- Hitoshi Shinso
S-Sorry. I'll do it again!
- Hitoshi Shinso
Haah!
- Shota Aizawa
Ah!
- Hitoshi Shinso
(I'll block Mr. Aizawa's sight with the Binding Cloth and then use Persona Chords...)
- Mina Ashido?
Hey! If it isn't Mr. Aizawa and Shinso! What are you doing here?
- Shota Aizawa
...
- Hitoshi Shinso
Oh!
- Shota Aizawa
That wasn't a bad move. You sounded just like Ashido, too.
- Shota Aizawa
However, it wasn't enough to distract the opponent during battle. You need to work on that.
- Hitoshi Shinso
Yes! Let me try it again!
- Hitoshi Shinso
*huff*...
- Shota Aizawa
(Over two hours have passed since this training started... I guess it makes sense to lose concentration.)
- Shota Aizawa
You're out of breath. Let's take a break.
- Hitoshi Shinso
No... I can still go! Please let me!
- Shota Aizawa
(He's obviously pushing himself. He's gotta be worn out physically and mentally.)
- Hitoshi Shinso
I need to do as much as I can as quickly as I can...
- Hitoshi Shinso
If I don't, I'll always be like this!
- Shota Aizawa
...
- Shota Aizawa
Training is done for now. Break time.
- Hitoshi Shinso
Huh...? Wait, sir. I can do more!
- Shota Aizawa
It's good that you're motivated and all, but it's dangerous to rush things, Shinso.
- Hitoshi Shinso
Gh!
- Shota Aizawa
Take some time to rest your body and mind.
- Hitoshi Shinso
...
- Shota Aizawa
(He doesn't get it. It's clear as day that he would push himself too far if I let him.)
- Shota Aizawa
Follow me, Shinso. I'll show you a good spot.
- Hitoshi Shinso
Huh? Oh, okay...
