pushing against change

Ever since Hitoshi had placed in the Sports Festival finals, his entire life became this massive game of catch up.Catch up to the Hero Course kids: catch up with their academics and add Heroics and Ethics, catch up with their conditioning and their training and learn a weapon because he didn’t have a physical Quirk, catch up with their Quirk training that he had never had a chance to do.He was exhausted twice over at the end of every session he had with Present Mic to hone control of his Quick. And he didn’t have to ask how he was doing - he knew. He knew each time his head pounded and his vision blurred and he struggled not to vomit on the Pro Hero’s shiny leather boots.  He wasn’t catching up quickly enough.
