After a particularly stressful training session Hound Dog sits with several students to discuss what happened.
"I fear no hero, but that" Kirishima begins before leaning forward and saying quietly: "that thing, it scares me."
"I... I'm not talking about that... person... he's not here is she?" Mina says while panicking.
"One shudders to think about what inhuman thoughts lie behind that emotionless mask." Toru says nervously. "What dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty?"
Earlier:
Todoroki walks calmly along a road in one of the training areas, robots fleeing in fear as he casually incinerates them. He was wearing the special suit Izuku had made him, but he didn't bother with the gas mask or air tank for now. Izuku had even made him some support equipment that could channel his flames for greater accuracy and came with a built in compressed CO2 system for blasting out fires and pushing away villains that got too close.
He casually walks towards a shop the robots had barricaded themselves into and uses a broom to wedge the door closed before setting the whole thing on fire.
Meanwhile in Todoroki's mind:
Shoto happily skips down a picturesque Japanese village as a march plays in his head. The locals are overjoyed as he uses his quirk to send hot or cold soba to them.
It's all a festival in his mind. He finds a villager rushing towards him and sends him into the air with the cool tool Izuku had given him before giving the man hot soba.
He then provides cold soba to three individuals waiting in-front of a bar. All while happily skipping along.
Soon he steps out of the training area, leaving nothing but ash and Ice sculptures.
AN: I didn't plan this at all but I never showed Todoroki in any scene so far in this. I didn't even have him as anything on my spreadsheet when this idea came to me. Let's just say Endeavor was very much a bad father in this world. He hears Yuki No Singun in his head, which to him sounds like a good time.
Oh, and mask is figurative: as in Todoroki's complete lack of emotion on his face or in his tone/body language.
