pacific rim au open post There are things you can't fight - acts of God. You see a hurricane coming, you get out of the way. But when you're in a Jaeger, suddenly you can finally fight the hurricane. You can win.

[A couple decades back quirks would have sounded like fiction, but they're so normal these days. Considerably more normal than the constant threat of a kaiju appearance is. More normal than the giant robots that humanity built to fight these things off.

Izuku picks up two of the bo staves that are sitting on the wall and hands one over to his sparring partner.

He'll spin his staff until Todoroki's ready and then start with a simple jab forward.]

[ At least humanity decided to adapt to every fight that was thrown their way, even if it's all through unconventional means. Shouto will give their species that much - they're fighters.

So of course he's here, even if he's not entirely certain how drifting is going to go. If he can even find someone to do a test with. Sparring, at least, he can do.

Which is why it's easy to take the staff, testing its weight, and then - his demeanor changes, as he goes from aloof to intent, deflecting and moving in with a strike of his own. ]

[Izuku's more soft spoken, awkward demeanor melts away completely once he's sparring- he doesn't know this man well- doesn't know him at all, in fact- but he settles into a determined, calm, analytical pace.

He deflects Todoroki's hit easily, letting Todoroki go on the offensive, each jab is parried. He doesn't strike much, but when he does he goes for unexpected moments and times. It's not as though he cares about winning- that's never what sparring for Jaegers is about- he just wants to know how easily Todoroki can understand him.]
