[ Thankfully, her phone does have volume control so she can just turn him down... ]

You have to realize I have better things to do than fight you every minute of the day.

Whatever you're doing, it's made you strong enough to beat me. [He sounds reluctant to admit it. Angry even, at himself.] So it must be working. But until I surpass you, I won't be able to call myself number one, so I'll keep fighting you. I'll keep challenging you until those heels of yours are too hot for you to walk in and I'll fucking beat you into the ground!!!

Come at me.

I think I'm going to pass. No offense, but if I spend all my time fighting you, it's taking away from my time to do things that actually make a difference. If you want to be better, perhaps you should consider just doing better.

[ She puts it as if it's simple. ]

Don't make your goal to be the strongest. That isn't what heroism is about. There are a load of people here who can beat me one-on-one. Not to dig salt into your wounds, but one-on-one fights aren't exactly my forte.

[It's a good thing this is voice, Weiss can't see his cheeks redden in shame or the way his eyes burn with angry tears.]

For someone who's smart you're fucking stupid. Just you wait, Ice Ponytail, I'll surpass you with or without fighting you!!!

Why is it a competition to you? I mean, I completely understand wanting to be the best- I made a point to be top of my class academically when I was in school. But not to the point of actively targeting anyone else who scored perfectly on a test.

...Because that's what it means to be the number one hero. If you're really a hero, you'll always find a way to come out on top, regardless of whether you're facing one enemy or fifty. And if you can't and you don't do anything to get to that point, you don't deserve to call yourself a hero.

Being a hero is about putting others above yourself, even if it means putting your own needs and ego second. If you're really a hero, that should be your goal. You're just describing a competitive fighter.

Stupid. You can't save people if you're getting yourself beat up. Beating the villains is better.

[He despises that kind of self sacrificing attitude and the people who follow it.]

I mean, you can. You just have to make sure you don't die in the process. I highly recommend against it. But you do have to make choices sometimes that others might not agree with or will hold against you for a longer-term effect. Violence and shoving people in prison doesn't solve problems all the time.

You think I give a shit what other people think of me?

What do you mean? It doesn't matter as long as I beat the villains.

No, but I'm telling you if all you're after is the title, you're not going to get it with your current attitude.

[ A brief pause, then she adds: ] Or your skill level. Honestly, I function best as team support and I barely broke a sweat.

Shut up. [His voice drops down to a whisper, the anger that's always there apparent, but this is...a little different.]

You think I don't fucking know that? [Everything is different here. People would barely bat an eye at his quirk and abilities and the only way to do anything about it is to learn about the abilities of others like Weiss so he can find a way to beat them and become the best.]

You literally called me, I'm not shutting up until you start acting like you know. I don't have to stay on the line, but I don't think your heart's in the wrong place entirely. But I need you to understand that I can't just come out and fight you all the time because I have other roles here- I run the welcoming services, which help people understand where they are and avoid panicked powered people from causing massive damage. I run the GSRF, which is an organization that's working on understanding this world and both finding a way home and a way to stay for those who want it. It's important to understand that protecting people is about more than fight "bad guys," and if you don't understand that, I'm not wasting my time on fighting you regardless. I wouldn't want someone who thinks the world is as simple as good versus evil to get stronger by my hands.

So, if you understand that, then we can talk. If not, you're welcome to hang up the phone and call me whatever crude names you want.

Dammit, I said I get it. You're busy or whatever!

I couldn't... [He can't do anything, and that's his own fault and weakness.] How am I supposed to do any of it if I can't beat the best? What's this GSRF shit anyway?

I don't know, Katsuki. I already told you I'm hardly the best fighter. I'm surprisingly slow and I've died or nearly died at least twice. I've been kidnapped four times here alone. If I was the best Genessia had, we'd all be doomed. If you want to be the strongest, I doubt I'm the best person for you to ask. However, if you're looking for someone to teach you how to fight smarter, I may be able to help.

Died...? [Like, flatlined? No, he remembers reading about how death works in Genessia. It's unbelievable, but he won't pry about that or wounds to her pride. He knows all about that.]

I'm not quitting. Looks like you won't either. So Ice-sensei, I accept your offer.

Unfortunately. [ She likely wouldn't talk about it much. ] I would've back home too, if not for a friend saving my life.

[ She sighs, then thinks.. ] Then you're going to have assignments. If you complete one, I'll fight you. Does that sound fair?

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!

I didn't. [ But someone did. Hopefully? ] I did run a man who couldn't feel pain through with the Queen Lancer's stinger though. They got away.

We'll start off easy then. One page about why you want to be a hero.

How the fuck could you let them get away after that?!

...Fine. [Just one page? He can do that.]
