Aizawa invites you over for wine and conversation...
Do you want another glass of wine? If you do, just let me know. It's great to finally relax and have a glass of wine with a friend.
It's been a while, hasn't it? So what have you been up to? That sounds nice.
Sounds like a good time. If there's anything that you might need, by the way, for that, just let me know. I'll be able to help you out with that.
Either way, let's talk about something else, right? The reality. ..
No. No, no, no. No, I don't want to talk about that.
You know what? Sure. Let's get into it.
I love being a teacher, and I know what I said the other night, but there's a lot of pressure. Okay? There's a lot of pressure, especially with being a pro-hero teacher.
I am basically bringing up and teaching the heroes of tomorrow. The ones that will be responsible for the safety of the world. And it's a big deal, it's a lot of pressure to deal with.
Primarily because, what if I don't teach them properly? What if I teach them something that doesn't work? All these things, all these questions, they just weigh on me, day in and day out.
I feel the pressure that they might get killed because of something I taught them. Or worse yet, that whatever I did teach them might kill someone else. There have been cases where heroes become villains, and that's not something that we love to talk about, but it does happen, and everything that I teach them could hurt as much as it could save.
I don't know. This just becomes too much sometimes. I try my best to really dig deep and see who they are.
See what they would be willing to do and not do. But, they're all complex people, and it's not that easy. Now, there are many things that I can control, but I can control these kids and teaching and what I say to them.
That can fuel great heroes in the future. The best. The pressure even doubles when you realize that I am teaching those that are most qualified, the best in all the country and all the world, to be the next pro heroes.
And that's why it just weighs on me so much. Not to mention that they are so young, and I was there once too. I know what it's like.
I know exactly what it's like, especially to lose your friends. To know that they won't be able to carry on. They won't have a life.
God damn it. Whatever, you know, it's just, it's the wine talking. It doesn't want to let me be relaxed.
I'm okay. I'm all right. But this is a big concern of mine.
And it does make me question if I should ever be a teacher. If I should continue to teach. That's my main concern.
What do you think? Yeah. Well, I appreciate that and I understand.
I understand, but it does carry on to other things. To my personal life, to my hero life, patrolling, to my relationships or lack of. It carries on to everything.
And these pressures, well, I have to deal with them. And it's not easy. Just glad I have you to talk to.
If I didn't have you, well, then that's when things would get really dark and very tragic. Very fast. Thank you for being here.
On the brighter side, if I do have to pick something, it is life changing. Knowing that I at least get to do the best that I can to teach them, to show them. And that is something that I really admire and love about the job.
But there's always the other side. I mentioned before creeping up behind me, just waiting for there to be a crack in my will. Tear me down with the what ifs of the future.
Whatever, let's not talk about this anymore. Maybe another day. Do you want some more wine? Yes? All right.
I think I'm going to need another one too. Or maybe another bottle. This is a night that we have off, so let's enjoy it.
Just relax. I'll be right back. I have a new La Dekua.
It's very good. It's from 2002, I believe. It's pretty old.
We'll pop it and spin this night around. Okay, be right back.
