[There's an image of a school worksheet. Some of the questions at the top of the page have been answered, some have been half-answered, and there's a few left blank. The handwriting is not the best, but legible.]

Is anyone else taking cross-species communication at the school? I'm really confused about these last questions. Fairy customs are really confusing.

And I don't really get the Elemental Magic assignment either.

I forgot how much I hate homework.

Let me guess, he had some sort of lesson behind all of the things he did...?

[theskyaccepts]

See, I want to believe that, but sometimes I think he just did things for the sake of doing them.

If I asked, he'd just fall asleep.

[fullgauntlet]

That's...

I'm not sure what to make of that.

You had a lot going on for you it seems, Sawada-kun...!

[aka, that's rough buddy.]

[theskyaccepts]

Ha...haha...yeah.

He's not your normal tutor, in a lot of ways

[fullgauntlet]

But you ... stayed with him as a student? So he must have... been ok?

[theskyaccepts]

Yeah.

He...he gets me, I guess. I'm kinda pathetic in a lot of ways but he hasn't given up on me.

[fullgauntlet]

[Tsuna, no.]

Sawada-kun, you're far from pathetic. I've seen how hard you work, and how fast you learn too. There's probably a reason why he hasn't given up on you.

[theskyaccepts]

[He does want to believe those words but he still has a little voice in the back of his head.]

He's pretty determined one way or another. I just have a hard time believing in myself.

But thank you, Midoriya-kun

[fullgauntlet]

[Don't make him get out a chart of all the reasons why someone is awesome, Tsuna. It's like four hundred pages long.]

I guess I know how that feels sometimes. But if you keep it up, I'm sure you're more than enough.

I have a few teachers who are pretty hard on me too. But I think it's all for a good reason...

[theskyaccepts]

I hope so. I guess it's just....I'm starting from nothing in a lot of ways and it feels like there's a lot of pressure on me to succeed.

[He comes from the low-confidence school of shonen boys unfortunately. And it's been a little hard without Reborn here.]

[fullgauntlet]

[#relatable. Izuku comes from the same sort of backstory. Coming up from nothing is hard! Really hard!]

You should keep going for yourself, Sawada-kun. Pressure can be a lot... but when I feel like that I try to use it to press forward. Prove myself and my own power, or something like that?

You can do it!

[theskyaccepts]

You sound a lot more focused than me, Midoriya-kun. I tend to crack under pressure.

But I'm trying to get better at it. It's hard though. I'm not sure if proving myself is the best thing.

[The more he proves himself, the better the mafia boss he'll be]

[fullgauntlet]

Ahhh... I guess I am- Some of my classmates would say I'm just... determined. Or a fanboy...

Or a... nerd.

[Nevermind that one. Anyway!!]

Well... where do you see yourself in a few years? What do you want to do?

[theskyaccepts]

Those don't seem like bad things. Better than being a loser.

[Which is, unfortunately, part of his nickname. But he's slowly shedding it]

Truthfully, I don't really know. I hadn't really thought past school beyond getting a job of some sort. My tutor has plans for me, but...

[There's these sense that he's been typing for a while and deleting his response before finally choosing not to answer. He's not entirely sure how to explain the career that's been chosen for him.]

[fullgauntlet]

Your friends call you a loser? I have one that calls me a shitnerd...

[Please let them shed these nicknames?????]

I guess there's still time to figure it out?

[theskyaccepts]

Not my friends, but mostly classmates. Before I had friends.
That must be rough though. I was just Loser Tsuna.

[Such rough lives]

Yeah. I mean, I've still got middle school to finish.

[fullgauntlet]

[#relatable]

Yeah. I know how that feels...

Ah, you're still in middle school, Sawada-kun? I'm in my first year of high school.

[Izuku is a.... Senpai???]

[theskyaccepts]

Hiee...really? I mean, I guessed we were about the same age but it looks like you're older.

I'm in my second year at Namimori Middle.
Though I guess that's on hold right now

[Right now because of Camelot, previously because he's ten years in his future]

[fullgauntlet]

It's a bit funny, I thought you might be a little older than me...!

I just turned seventeen back in July, though. I guess it might not matter much... my high school days are on pause too. That's just how things are at the moment for all of us, ne...

[theskyaccepts]

Really? I don't think I've ever been told that. Usually it's one of my friends...

[Granted, he does hang out with a few people older than him. Hang out being the loosest sense of the word.]

Yeah, somehow I don't think the classes I take here are gonna transfer over.

[fullgauntlet]

I'm not sure what it was that made me think that... I guess it was just a bad guess. But we're basically the same age.

[Tsuna hanging out with people like Gokudera, though!!]

You don't think they will?

[theskyaccepts]

I do hang out with some third year students, so maybe they've rubbed off on me? Although thinking about it...I don't know if that's a good thing.

[When one considers Hibari and Ryohei...maybe he's had mature to be the responsible one?]

Well, not the magic ones. My school doesn't teach that.

[fullgauntlet]

Ahaha, that almost makes you sound like a delinquent, Sawada-kun. I'm just kidding!

Ah, I think I know what you mean. My school has classes to help us learn our individual quirks better but magic is very different.

[theskyaccepts]

Ahaha...

[Thankfully text can cover up Tsuna's nervous laughter. Delinquent's one way to say it, and don't share that with Hibari.]

My school's no where near that cool.

Although...what's a quirk? I've heard a few people use it.

[fullgauntlet]

[One day Izuku will find out his friend is a total delinquent.]

Ah! You've met a few other people from my class, I think. In my world, most humans have a special ability or power that's unique to them. It's called a quirk. Usually, there's some counselling and classes we take while growing up to learn how to grow with them.
