But you didn't. [And that's all he says about that. If you don't get stronger from your defeats, then what does it matter?]
[What kind of deal is this? He grits his teeth and grumbles.] What kinda assignments? Will they be challenging? [He doesn't want to do them if they're not. Contrary to what people may assume with his behavior and vocabulary, he's actually a big nerd.]

No, but she did ruin one of my favorite dresses.
[ Okay, Weiss is still a little upset about it and doesn't like talking about it but she's not going to let that show around a stranger.
She'll appreciate that when she finds out. ] They'll be what I think you need to work on. And they won't all be the same, so despite that I'm going to assign you an essay to start off with, don't expect them to all be sit-down assignments.

Did you kill her? [He hopes she did.]
Bring it on Ice-sensei, I'll fucking crush those paragraphs into nothing!

How the fuck could you let them get away after that?!
...Fine. [Just one page? He can do that.]

[Sometime after, Weiss will find this essay in her mail. It just turns into 12 pages of bold screaming.]
[She's right, his head has exploded in confusion and rage. How could he fail?! He can't fail, it goes against everything he believes in.]
I talked about All Might and him being the reason!!!

How the fuck is it poorly established?!?
I guess before I got my quirk, I looked up to All Might. He's the number one hero, and it's always cool how he goes against odds other people would label impossible and give up on before trying and he always comes out on top and wins. He's the epitome of what it means to be a hero and even someone as insignificant as Deku can recognize that. Then when I found out how cool and strong my quirk was, how could I not be a hero?
I've been training and working on being a hero since I was four. There's nothing that's fucking poorly established about it, Ice Ponytail-sensei.

Having a lot of background wanting to be a hero doesn't make an achieveable goal. Your goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely. It isn't enough to just say "I want to do this," you have to set standards and requirements for your goals that force you to keep on track with them.
Your reason, then, is that you were inspired to defy expectations by your hero.

...I know. [If his quirk had a graph, it would be level right now. He hasn't felt he's made much progress in a while.]
I don't give a shit about expectations. My reason is I want to win like All Might.

Because All Might's the number 1 hero. He's a real hero.

Because-- It's really fucking cool, okay?! No one can beat All Might, but when I do, then I'll be number one.
Because I AM strong! I have good quirk that can be used multiple ways, and I've spent my life mastering it. I'm strong.
[But not strong enough.]

To bea
Fuck
To be like All Might. And to never give up, ever, no matter what odds, and keep fighting no matter what.

Yeah, I guess.
[Has he? Seeing how stupidly prideful he had been without realizing how big the world is and how there were still people much more skilled than him he couldn't compare to. Being powerless and watching someone even more powerless rush in to help him like he could, like... Being looked down upon by everyone. There have been moments where he felt he wasn't deserving to be the number one hero, but giving up?] No. You hold onto those feelings and use them to fight harder than you ever have before. Only losers give up.

What changed your mind?
All Might doesn't give up. What right do I have to call myself a hero if I give up when things get tough?

Time to remember what motivated me to want to be strong. Sometimes, things get bad and you realize that no matter how strong you are, there's always someone stronger. Sometimes that person doesn't want anything more than to break everything you are and take away everything you have. It'll pull the universe out from under you, and when that day comes, just wanting to be strong won't be enough.
When that day comes, you need to know why it's important to you to stay strong.
