The first student Hound Dog was seeing was Iida. He didn't have much of a record of any of the students since they were new students. Iida however, Hound Dog knew some things about since his older brother had attended UA before. He had overheard Tensei bragging about his younger brother in the halls a few times. Iida sounded like a good kid.

Hound Dog straightened some papers at his desk and put on glasses trying his best to be professional as he looked at Iida's records which housed information about his grades and quirk.

A dog sat by Hound Dog's legs, for the students to pet if counseling stressed them out.

"I will do my best to try to make the best of therapy!" Iida said vigorously.

Hound Dog sighed. "Counseling isn't something you ace or anything like that. It's just a time for you. Now, I want to sort of gauge where you're at and figure out which students were most affected by the USJ incident so I can start counseling them, so they don't develop any PTSD from this incident."

Iida nodded in quick robotic motions, listening very carefully as if he was attending a lecture.

Hound Dog sighed. Might as well just get to it then. "How did USJ affect you?"

Iida thought for a moment, clearly trying to find the best possible answer. "I am fine, Mr…Inui?"

"Call me Ryo." Hound Dog replied.

"I think your time would be better suited counseling my classmates. After all thanks to my classmates efforts, I managed to escape almost immediately to get help. Thus, I had the least time with the villains."

Hound Dog looked at him for a moment. "And were you all right with escaping on your own?"

Iida stopped moving so quickly and then looked pained. "Of course, I wasn't. I hated the idea that because of my quirk I was the only one who got a chance to escape. That I was everyone's only chance of survival by being safely away and running to tell the teachers. But that was the only thing I could do for my classmates as the class representative. There weren't any other options."

Ryo listened closely. "Are your legs doing all right? You ran a fair distance after all."

Iida nodded. "I'm fine, sir."

"What did you think about as you ran?"

"Mostly about the fact that if I wasn't quick enough any of my classmates could have died. If I was faster like my brother, would Tsuyu have had to encounter Shigaraki I wonder? Would Mr. Aizawa be so injured?" Iida was looking quite pained now, his hands were crossed. "Do you know what it's like wondering if you're the only one who's going to survive just because you were lucky enough to be the one who could pass a message on? It's horrible. I…I didn't see any of the horrors my classmates faced but my heart aches for them."

Ryo put some papers down. He's experiencing classic survivor's guilt. Even though the incident is over.

"I know. I've been put in similar situations when I was a student, after all dogs are pretty fast. It's an awful experience." Ryo tried to relate.

"Your counsel is better suited on the students who actually witnessed the villain attack, sir. I think you should dismiss me and get one of my other classmates in immediately." Iida requested.

Ryo smiled. Kid has a good heart, just as Tensei said. But I won't leave him alone. "I actually think you could benefit from a few more sessions, Iida. In fact, you're experiencing something that we call survivor's guilt that might hinder your future ability as a hero making you put yourself in dangerous situations to avoid that. So, you're one of the students I'm going to schedule for additional sessions."

Iida stood up. "But, sir!"

"No buts. I have the time, and this is my job. If all your classmates need extra therapy, then so be it. You're not taking time away from anyone." Ryo insisted. He pushed a box of tissues towards Iida cuz it looked like he was about to cry. "I'll look away if you wish."

Iida sniffled. "Thank you…" and he cried into a tissue.

Iida had said he had been with Mina, Uraraka, Shoji, Sato and Sero so those were who Hound Dog questioned next.

His session with Sato started like almost everyone else's "How are you fairing from the USJ incident?"

"Fine." Sato answered, munching on a cupcake. "I mean I knew I would face danger as a hero I just didn't think it would be so soon! I'm lucky that warp gate didn't split me up and put me in a dangerous situation like Ojiro. I was lucky enough to be with a lot of my classmates."

"Did you feel fear? Did you have nightmares about the event?"

"Of course, I did! But as mentioned again I'm fairing fine because my classmates were with me even though we faced a dangerous foe. Thirteen got it tough but I knew if something went down Sero and I would try our best to protect Uraraka and Ashido. And I trusted Iida to come back soon."

Hound Dog wrote his notes down. Sato seemed honest. He didn't require any further help nor was he looking as pained as Iida.

Uraraka on the other hand, sniffled during her meeting, burying her face into the therapy dog.

"Don't worry. I got time." Hound Dog waited.

"It's just…Thirteen almost died! They…They protect us…" Ochako sniffled. "And not just them. Aizawa…And Deku…They all almost lost their lives."

This one's definitely going to need extra sessions. Hound Dog realized. Not that that was a bad thing. Uraraka was reacting like a normal person to seeing her friends and teachers almost die.

"Your classmate said he wasn't too worried because he knew Iida was going to come back any second. Did you feel the same?" Hound Dog asked.

Ochako looked guilty for a moment. "I knew Iida wouldn't abandon us. And I trust Iida, but…But Thirteen was torn apart. I don't have any medical knowledge. I didn't know if they were going to die….And Deku…I wasn't expecting him to go back and explode his arms and face the villains head on. He's always been so brave…"

This Deku seemed particularly close to her.

"Are you rethinking your path here at UA?" Hound Dog asked honestly. "Heroes will face people almost dying all the time."

Uraraka wiped at her eyes. "I'm going to be honest…I wanted to be a hero for the money. My family lives in horrible poverty after all."

Hound Dog made a note of that. Yeah, definitely extra therapy for this kid.

"Thirteen was my hero just like how Deku admires All Might. And seeing them almost die…It scared me. But it won't deter me. Iida got away thanks to me floating Kurogiri away after all. If I wasn't there, we all might have died for real. And I don't….want people to get hurt. I want to help them. Deku might have injured himself but he also did a lot to help people! I want to be like that!" Uraraka was a lot more determined than Hound Dog expected.

"I'm going to schedule you some extra sessions, but I want you to know that feeling this way is normal…" Hound Dog promised.

Sero was very much like Sato.

"Awww a dog! How cool!" He gave the therapy dog lots of belly rubs.

"Sure, it was scary. But we're training to be heroes. And to be honest I thought Aizawa was faking for a bit there." Sero laughed nervously. "It didn't occur to me until Iida escaped that this was for real instead of just a fake attack by villains. And I guess that's what makes me feel worst. But everything turned out all right in the end so no harm no foul?"

He was very practical.

Hound Dog was glad that some of the students were able to deal with things on their own.

"I think I had an easier time than my classmates." Shoji admitted a line that most of his classmates had echoed.

"Oh? How so?" Hound Dog asked.

"Because I could hear that all my classmates were alive and all right. I never had that moment where I was wondering if one of my classmates were dead even though I couldn't pinpoint where they were." Shoji admitted. "And I trusted Iida."

He sounded calm. And because of that Hound Dog believed him and dismissed him.

"You were quoted saying on the bus that this wasn't your first villain fight, correct, Ashido?" Hound Dog asked as Mina sat in her chair and looked flustered.

She nodded.

"Yeah. A giant villain was harassing my friend for directions and I slid in front of her and gave him fake directions to get him to leave them alone. But yesterday…Yesterday was much scarier."

"Tell me more." Hound Dog requested.

"Well, I was part of the only group who didn't get warped away. And although there was a lot of us left, we were faced up against the warp gate. And he was one of the more dangerous villains." Mina explained. "Iida managed to escape but…Thirteen almost died for us. And that was really scary that I couldn't do anything to help Thirteen. I always thought I'd move into action in danger, but I think Kirishima, Uraraka and Midoriya were much more helpful to the class as a whole."

"There's no shame in freezing in shock during your first real villain experience." Hound Dog offered Mina a tissue.

"But…But I'm supposed to be the tough one! And yet Kirishima kept his calm a lot better than me. I feel useless…Like maybe if I did something more, I could have helped Thirteen more…Or even Tsuyu who almost died for goodness sake. But acid can't do much against a warp gate. I feel useless." Mina admitted.

More survivor's guilt. Hound Dog realized. "Those are all normal emotions to feel. But just in case it hurts you let's schedule some more sessions to talk about them."

Mina nodded and allowed that.

"You were the only student alone during the USJ incident, I believe." Hound Dog read his notes on Ojiro. "Are you all right? Were you scared?"

Ojiro nodded. "I just assumed all my classmates were alone and struggling. I mean I was stressed cuz I was worried about them but I'm fine myself actually." He looked embarrassed.

"Are you really?" Hound Dog asked.

"Yeah…I never faced any really tough villains but I'm actually a little proud of myself for being able to get people via hit and run tactics." He sounded embarrassed. "I was feeling kinda lost after my loss against Todoroki but this kind of proves I can be a hero. So, I'm okay."

And that sounded like the honest truth. Ojiro looked like he was filled with some confidence. So Hound Dog let him go.

"This was the second time you were attacked by a villain this year, correct? You must be even more stressed than the other students then." Hound Dog asked Bakugo who was rocking in his chair not fully invested in this therapy.

"Shut up! I'm fine!" Bakugo answered. "If you want to counsel anyone counsel Crappy Deku. He's probably got a lot more issues than me."

Hound Dog narrowed his eyes. "What happened to you in USJ?"

"Well, I didn't experience any of the fear that any of my normal classmates did. Immediately I started beating up villains after being teleported away by that warp gate I blasted. Red haired dude was with me in the ruins zone and we quickly made it to help All Might. He said he didn't want our help, but I know I took out the warp gate and did significant damage to him." Bakugo stated proudly.

Hound Dog listened carefully to the tale of bragging. "Do you think Kirishima helped you keep your calm during the incident? If you had been alone do you think you would be more scared?"

"No way!" Bakugo waved his hands. "I'd never be scared. I would have done fine on my own. Although Kirishima did help take out a few villains. But I could have taken them on my own."

Hound Dog sighed. "Could I schedule a few more sessions with you—"

"No way! I told you I'm not traumatized or anything." Bakugo replied.

It was actually about your anger, Sir. Hound Dog knew Bakugo wouldn't react well to that. He'd probably become wordless with rage like Hound Dog did when something angered him. He could relate, and because of that he knew Bakugo definitely needed to work on that.

He made a note to see Bakugo at another time, but it seemed like Bakugo really was telling the truth about not being traumatized.

He couldn't help a patient that wasn't willing to try though. So, he sent Bakugo off.

"I definitely would have been a lot more scared if Bakugo hadn't been there." Kirishima, unlike Bakugo was willing to admit how he was feeling. "I hadn't noticed before but the dude's really cool and manly."

"So Bakugo helped you deal with being split from your classmates and you didn't experience any fear?" Hound Dog asked.

"Yeah. It was really miraculous. Cuz usually I am scared in that situation. But I think the difference between Bakugo and everyone else is that he was acting with a goal in mind instead of just rushing around wondering if he would die. Since he helped me get the goal of taking down that warp gate I was able to keep my cool." Kirishima explained. "I don't think Bakugo will ever realize the impact he made on me but I think I'm doing fine, teach!" He smiled.

"Bonds formed with other people can be very powerful. I'm glad they helped you."

Aoyama was next.

"Where were you during the USJ incident?" Hound Dog asked. He had no information where Aoyama had been.

"It's a secret." The blonde kid said eccentrically.

Hound Dog glared. "I'm gonna need an actual answer."

Aoyama frowned. "The fire zone." He admitted in a low voice.

Now that was interesting, because Ojiro had said he had been alone. "Your classmate Ojiro said that he was alone and didn't see anyone. How were you in the fire zone?"

Aoyama was frowning more and more. "I…I was hiding in one of the buildings."

"Even with the flames?" Hound Dog asked surprised.

Aoyama nodded.

"Did you see Ojiro?" Hound Dog asked.

Aoyama nodded again. "He was taking villains out right and left…And all I could do was hide, paralyzed by fear." He admitted. His hand was shaking now. "That's why it was a secret."

Hound Dog sighed. Aoyama was clearly dealing with a great deal of fear.

"May I have some more appointments, please?" Aoyama took the initiative and asked for himself. "I…I think I probably fall into that traumatized student category."

"Of course." Hound Dog replied. He took some candy out of his drawer. "Here. This might help you focus on something else." He handed him some various lollipops. "There's no chocolate though, sorry."

"Thanks." Aoyama appreciated the gesture, nonetheless.

Kaminari like Bakugo did a lot of bragging about how great he had been.

"So, you're truthfully all right?" Hound Dog asked confused. "Even though Snipe said you were taken hostage by a villain?" He was skeptical. Not a lot of the other students had been held hostage.

Kaminari rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah…Jiro and Yaoyorozu told me that had happened but to be honest I don't really remember it." His eyes widened and he waved his hands. "Not for any huge psychological reason but because my brain short circuited from the electricity! So, I'm not really scared. If I had been myself I probably would have been, but I wasn't…."

"Do you ever think about the situation and how it was scary?" Hound Dog asked.

"No. It's weird, but it's the answer I got." He shrugged. "I guess all I can say is I'm glad Snipe got there when he did." He was very casual about it and it didn't seem like a cover.

It was odd but Hound Dog didn't think he was really traumatized or something.

Yaoyorozu despite seeing her classmate held hostage maintained her cool as well.

"It was a terrible situation and I'm glad Snipe got there when he did. Jiro and I likely wouldn't have been able to stop him." Yaoyorozu explained. "A wave of relief washed over me."

"Are you feeling particularly shaken by the incident?" Hound Dog asked.

Yaoyorozu thought for a moment. "The normal amount I would say. I've read many psychological books and I'm not dealing with any extreme problems. If Kaminari had died I likely would have but I was mentally prepared to be threatened someday because of my hero family. So, I think I'm doing better than most. And although Mr. Aizawa is injured, he isn't dead and I didn't see any of the injuries. So, I'm sure I'm doing better than anyone else."

Hound Dog nodded. "Does your family have therapists on staff or something?"

Yaoyorozu smiled. "Only three! The normal amount."

Hound Dog frowned. That was not normal. That was richy rich stuff. But he dismissed Yaoyorozu thanks to her assets.

"It was way scary." Jiro admitted. "I thought I could trick the villain that took Kaminari, but he caught me."

"Do you feel guilt over not being able to save him?" Hound Dog asked.

"Regret, but not guilt. After all Snipe got to us in time. Nobody was injured." Jiro replied. "And we did pretty good when we were split up. I was kinda thinking Kaminari would be a dead weight or something, but he did okay. And Momo really grounded our team." She had a big smile.

"Do you think Kaminari and Momo helped you keep your cool and keep you from panicking?" Hound Dog asked.

Jiro smiled. "Momo did!" She answered simply. "That girl is cool as heck!"

Hound Dog smiled too. It seemed like at least a few students were well adjusted.

Koda went straight for the dog and started petting him.

"You were in the storm zone with Tokoyami, correct? Present Mic told me that you two had rounded up quite a few villains on your own." Hound Dog gestured to his papers. "Are you doing all right?"

Koda had a big smile on his face thanks to the dog. He signed Yes.

"Uh…I don't speak that. I'm sorry. I really should learn as a school counselor. I've tried to learn but I've had a lot of difficulty. I'll get fluent eventually though! I promise!" Hound Dog said.

Koda nodded and opened his mouth. "S-sorry…I'm just very shy."

"Nah, this is on me. Don't worry about it." Hound Dog said.

Koda looked very scared.

"Something wrong?" Hound Dog asked.

"Well…You're part dog, aren't you? Will my quirk accidentally control you?" Koda asked.

Hound Dog thought for a moment. He didn't actually know. He passed some paper over to Koda. "Communicate with me over writing if that makes you more comfortable."

Koda gave a big smile and nodded. He wrote; "I'm doing all right. Tokoyami really helped me. I was worried for all our classmates but I'm glad I was able to help clean up a lot of villains even though I mostly acted as bait and Tokoyami took them out."

"I'm glad. Would you say that you think you could benefit from more therapy?" Hound Dog asked.

Koda thought. "Everyone could use more therapy, I think. But I don't think I'm particularly shaken by this incident." He wrote.

Hound Dog was glad of that.

Tokoyami was next. And that meant counseling Dark Shadow as well who popped up at random moments.

"I'm sure you've heard Koda and I were in the storm zone. I devised a plan early on to try to take some of the weight off of Mr. Aizawa by luring villains towards us and taking them out." Tokoyami explained.

"It was really all me though!" Dark shadow cheered.

"But after hearing Tsuyu's story on the bus…I doubt I did enough." Tokoyami admitted, clenching his fists. "I thought I was being helpful in a way that didn't put students further in danger and kept me in my best element, the darkness, but I was really being a coward."

"No, you did the right approach." Hound Dog told him. "All of you are students. Putting yourself in harms way to try to help the teachers would have been an overly confident action and would have been prone to blow up in your face. You did the best and smartest thing that you could have done with the experience you had."

"See? I was telling you we don't have to feel guilty." Dark Shadow seemed to agree.

"But…" Tokoyami didn't seem to believe that. "I know I couldn't have done anything to help Mr. Aizawa. I am just a student after all, and he was fighting what sounded like a powerful creature. But I could have helped Tsuyu. If I had left the storm zone I could have blocked the hand villain's attack… I could have done something." Tokoyami admitted.

"You could not have." Hound Dog said harshly. "If you blocked his attack you would have just disintegrated yourself."

"No, I thought about it. Dark Shadow isn't matter that could decay. He's just darkness." Tokoyami looked Hound Dog in the eyes. "That means I was the best possible choice to go up against this particular villain. I could have saved Midoriya and Tsuyu if I had just been out there instead of being afraid of my own weaknesses."

Dark shadow was silent. "I don't like the idea of having to touch that dude, but my partner's right. I could have taken a few hits from him. But it was so bright outside! And that was just too scary."

Tokoyami frowned. "The facts remain that I was scared and because of that my classmates faced trouble. I can never repent for the mistakes I have made."

"It's okay to be scared. You're a student…" Hound Dog tried to say. "And Asui and Midoriya weren't horribly harmed. What if scenarios rely on everything going right. And they're just what if scenarios."

Tokoyami didn't seem shaken out of his self doubt. So Hound Dog went ahead and scheduled more therapy.

Midoriya was a weird one. For one as soon as Hound Dog called him in he started muttering about Hound Dog's hero career and about his quirk to himself. For another before the session All Might had approached Hound Dog and asked if it was really necessary to question Midoriya too.

It had been weird, and Hound Dog had said yes, but All Might had tried to vouch for him. Eventually though All Might had relented and said "Don't question him too much. His self-sacrificial attitude might have been self-sacrificial but he really did help me out. And he acted that way only because I'm his hero."

What's the connection between Midoriya and the number 1 hero? I suppose even though I'm a school counselor I should keep my nose out of it. Hound Dog had decided.

"Does it work the same way as Tsuyu's quirk that you can do everything a dog can do? Does that mean he can grow claws…?" Midoriya was still muttering. "Are Tsuyu and Hound Dog's quirk related…? Oh and the rabbit hero too!" He was journaling.

Hound Dog tapped his desk loudly to snap Midoriya out of it. "Midoriya, did you experience any trauma at USJ?" Since Midoriya was his usual self he didn't expect anything.

Midoriya woke up from his mumblings. "Well…I was scared of course, but that doesn't stop me from needing to act doesn't it?" He was avoiding eye contact as if hiding something.

"Is this about, Asui? She almost died in front of your eyes, didn't she? If you feel guilt about it not being you—"

"Oh yeah, Tsuyu!" Midoriya seemed to be thinking about something else. Likely All Might's life based on how he had acted and how All Might had tried to get Hound Dog not to question him too hard. "…That was terrifying. I'm so glad Mr. Aizawa stopped Shigaraki when he did."

"Did you have nightmares?" Hound Dog asked.

"Of course. It was all terrifying. But I have to push through, you know? It's not going to be the last villain attack. And as long as I keep acting perhaps my friends won't have to experience that again." Midoriya replied. "I don't regret my actions if this is about me jumping into danger and blowing up my legs." He was staring directly at Hound Dog now.

"No…It's not about that." This kid was keeping something secret. That was clear. But Hound Dog wasn't sure now how involved he should get thanks to All Might.

Midoriya started looking scared again and mumbling "Oh no…Can he smell out the secrets?" He seemed to still be in quirk analysis.

Hound Dog sighed. Midoriya seemed fine. "Send in the next kid."

The next kid was Mineta. And Mineta was a mix of bragging and crying about what had happened and how scared he had been, but how cool he had been too, and possibly a mix of lies about saving Tsuyu.

"Okay, then we'll schedule some more therapy for you-" Hound Dog offered.

"No! That takes time out of my schedule. I've got things to do." Mineta explained. "I gotta be in class with the girls."

Hound Dog wasn't exactly sure what he was talking about. "But if you were that scared it sounds like you'd benefit from therapy. After all heroes can't be getting scared on the job."

"I got over it quick!" Mineta replied. "And anyway, we were all scared. Go bug, Tsuyu or something."

"Denial can be addressed through therapy—" Hound Dog tried to offer.

"And it wasn't like it was all bad," Mineta smiled and recalled. "I got to touch Tsuyu's breast—"

"YOU WHAT?" Hound Dog stood up throwing up his desk and delving into howls.

Mineta started crying again. "Accident! Accident of course! I'm just a teenage boy! Don't kill me!"

Hound Dog couldn't answer, snarling.

"I meant Tsuyu's the best, not breast!" Mineta lied and left the room.

It took several minutes for Hound Dog to calm down and be able to get human speech again. Afterwards he wasn't quite sure what to make of the situation. He hadn't been able to ask Mineta if it was accidental because he had been so mad and thus, he couldn't give anymore information to the faculty to suspend Mineta.

And it would look pretty bad for UA to suspend a student who was the victim in a villain attack.

Either way what he was sure about was that he didn't like the grape kid very much.

Asui was next. She came into the room carefully noticing many papers thrown around.

"Are you all right?" Asui asked.

"Fine, Fine. Just had an incident with the last student." Hound Dog didn't want to admit that he had let his anger get the better of him. "Now I want to be honest with you, Asui. I'm planning on scheduling you for more sessions regardless of what you say, because you almost died and that's a big thing to deal with."

Asui nodded calmly. That made sense to her. "We were all doing all right…Before we decided to watch Shigaraki." She admitted.

"You were?" Hound Dog asked.

"I was feeling confident because they dropped me into the flood zone and I'm a frog. Midoriya devised a plan to help us and him and Mineta managed to save us from all the villains." Asui explained. "Then we came to try to help Mr. Aizawa…And seeing him beaten and bruised like that was horrible."

Hound Dog nodded, sympathetically.

"Then Shigaraki came for me and I wasn't quite sure what was happening…I know he only discovered us because of me too. So, it's my fault." Tsuyu looked like she had punched herself emotionally.

"Your fault? How did he discover you?" Hound Dog asked.

"I started drowning Mineta. And I guess the gurgling made a lot of noise." Tsuyu admitted.

"Ah…You know, usually I'd say drowning a classmate is a villainous action-" Hound Dog frowned.

Asui looked guilty. She held her hands close to her breasts.

"But…I've heard what happened. And it sounded like the choice you made was a lot quieter than slapping." Hound Dog told her. He wanted to ask her if it was accidental or not but he knew he would start howling again if he did and then he would not have been able to ask her about her almost death.

"Are you willing to talk about what happened next?" Hound Dog asked.

Asui nodded. "Shigaraki attacked me…His hand was on my face and I could almost feel myself peel away. But Aizawa despite his wounds saved me." Now Asui was starting to tear up a little. "He kept his eyes open despite his body probably trying to get them to close them. And then Shigaraki tried again to get me and Mineta this time and I had to face it all over again as I tried to get Midoriya out of there. And then All Might saved me." She was crying. "Usually I'm more calm than this…"

"It's all right. Almost dying…Is a huge thing. And you were the student in the most danger. There will be some heavy emotional wounds, but I want to help bandage them." Hound Dog told her.

"Thank you." Asui nodded.

"I'm scared." Hound Dog wasn't expecting Todoroki of all people to admit that.

"The reports said you handled the villains quite well. If you did that all while terrified, I have to congratulate you-" Hound Dog was cut off.

"No." Todoroki shook his head. "I'm not scared for myself."

"Ah, well it's normal to feel the same emotions as your classmates. Some of them were in quite terrifying positions—" Hound Dog explained.

Todoroki shook his head again. "I'm scared of what I could do to them." He corrected.

Well now that was different. Hound Dog elected to listen.

"I'm the son of a pro hero. A recommendation student. I have a lot more experience with these things and strengths than my classmates. I defeated all the villains who came across me and then threatened them until they gave me information on their plans. I then helped All Might, something he admitted I did. I thought I did the best presented to me, but…"

"But?" Hound Dog asked.

"Hagakure was apparently with me. In the landslide zone. I didn't even notice." Todoroki explained. "We went up against each other in a combat exam and several students pointed out that I could have seriously injured her with my ice due to the fact that she lacks protective clothing. And that was when I was TRYING to avoid her."

"Oh." Hound Dog realized that Todoroki was realizing just how dangerous his powers were.

"I didn't even know she was there. It's a miracle she's alive and that I didn't accidentally get her too. I had considered freezing the entire landslide area. It would have been easy to me…" He put his hands in his hair. "If I had she wouldn't have died from a villain. She would have died because of me. What kind of hero kills people?" His eyes were big and terrified.

"This is a what if scenario, you could be trapped in hypotheticals all day—" Hound Dog tried to reason.

"I knew fire was dangerous. I knew how dangerous it was firsthand. It's why I use ice only. But I had no clue how dangerous my ice was. Can….Can I really be a hero if all I do is hurt people?" Todoroki asked.

Hound Dog sighed and put Todoroki down for some extra therapy. For a weird reason that wasn't related to the USJ incident at all. It seemed like Todoroki had some other batch of problems. "Listen, you didn't hurt people though, kid. Hagakure is fine."

"But I could have-"

"If you really think that you should apologize to her and make a plan for next time." Hound Dog suggested. "We can't do anything about the past. Just the future."

Todoroki thought for a moment. "It's hard to talk to my classmates though…" It seemed he was slightly shy.

"Apologizing isn't a losers action, it's a heroes. Learning to do it is sometimes hard, but you should." Hound Dog suggested.

Todoroki seemed to snap out of his funk and nod thanks to the actual advise given. After a few steady breathing exercises, he calmed down.

It was finally Toru's turn.

I have to be careful of what I say…Toru realized.

She sat down in the seat in front of Hound Dog trying to visibly show how bubbly she was. She knew facial expressions wouldn't show she was fine after all so she had to illustrate it in her actions.

"So that Todoroki fellow tells me you were in a lot of danger due to being in the landslide zone. That he could have almost killed you. Did you experience any…resentment against him or fear?" Hound Dog asked.

Toru brought her arms up to look shocked. "No, sir! I didn't know he could have hurt me at all! I mean I saw him take out a bunch of villains but I made sure to avoid the ice. We fought in an exam before, so I know how dangerous that stuff is!"

Hound Dog nodded. Her answers made sense logically. "Was it scary being separated from your classmates?"

Would a normal student say yes or no? Toru wondered. "I was a little worried at first but then I saw Todoroki taking out villain after villain and I got a bit more relieved."

Hound Dog narrowed his eyes. "Why didn't you say anything to him? Like I'm here thanks for the assist or something?"

Toru slumped her shoulders. "Well…This is a little embarrassing…" She started squirming in her chair. "I thought he knew I was there already." She admitted. "I guess I forgot that I'm invisible." She laughed and rubbed the back of her head.

"Forgot you were invisible? That can happen?" Hound Dog was confused.

"Well no. I just mean I tried to greet him, but Todoroki was too busy taking out villains. After he was done, he slid down the mountain side ditching me" Toru explained. "Since I had hidden my boots and gloves already I decided I should do what was best for me at the time and hide. I'm not strong like Todoroki after all."

"Why didn't you accompany Todoroki down the mountain? Were you paralyzed by fear?" Hound Dog asked.

"I heard he was going to go stop the villains and help All Might." Toru replied, remembering how she had seen Todoroki rush to All Might's aid. "I thought I'd be more a hindrance than a help. You know? So I waited for rescue and hid." She squirmed some more. "Was that the wrong move?"

"No. It's the smartest move that you could have made in the situation." Hound Dog answered. Something about Toru's answers made him confused. I guess it's cuz bubbly girls like her are usually more scared by these sorts of things. Mina had been plenty scared, but Toru didn't seem to be dealing with any of that. It hadn't even occurred to her how Todoroki could have harmed her.

Hound Dog remembered to remind himself to check his own biases. "And you weren't scared about all the villains roaming around?"

"As I said, Todoroki took care of all of them. It was really cool and impressive!" Toru loudly explained. "I didn't even get a chance to be scared."

"What if Todoroki hadn't been there? Do you think you'd be dealing with the aftereffects of trauma then?" Hound Dog asked.

Toru pretended to think about that one. "Hmmm…I don't really like what ifs or hypotheticals, they're not very helpful. But if I had been alone I'd have done the same thing I did with Todoroki. Hide and rely on my invisibility."

"But your breathing could have given you away in a scary situation your breathing accelerates—" Hound Dog explained.

"Sounds to me like you're trying to make me scared, Mister Hound Dog." Toru replied. "And with so many villains nobody could hear an individual girl's breathing. So, I was fine."

Hound Dog frowned. She was right. "I'm sorry. You may now leave." Something about the easy calm tone of her voice was odd though.

He put it out of his mind though. She was right that she out of everyone had been plenty safe. He was just biased over how cheerfully girls should act it seemed.

And he decided to end things there and go over his notes about all the students of 1-A.

I find it so funny that Hound Dog is a counselor in UA. Underused character. I want to see the school counseling done by an angry dog man.

I definitely could have focused more on some characters that I gave too short of things, but at this point the original chapter was already 9000 words.

Also I think this chapter shows too much of my biases towards some of my faves like Tokoyami, Iida and Aoyama. Editing this I'm like "Iida's is much longer than the rest." This is not an Iida fic even though I love him.
