[Video] in his cocoon stage

[ex_eraserhead411]

[A rather tired looking face rose up into a video feed, surrounded by a soft yellow mass. It looked as if his head had been shoved into a Coney Island cutout--but, the cutout was absent of anything but plush yellow fabric. He shifted slightly, sniffing with what clearly looked to be disinterest.]

It sounds like you've all had a good run, so far. Despite that, I hope no one thinks they're beyond a little tutoring and critique.

[He seemed to retreat a bit into the yellow fabric.]

My name is Aizawa Shouta and I'm a Professional Hero. If you need advice or even a good place to hone your skills while you're not currently on a mission--I'm in my biome and I've had it fitted for the sake of physical and strategic training.

[The entire time, he struggled desperately to emote and yet--nothing happened.]

Alright, that seems good enough to get the point across. Talk to me.

[--Without a hint of dramatic flair, Aizawa's feed cut.]

[Aizawa had simply accepted the technology of the Legionnaires as inevitable. He had dealt with pretty advanced technology in his life and it had all seemed formless by human standards. It was difficult to understand unless one took advanced degrees in engineering.

He was a professional hero--so, the best he could do was understand relatively simple theories. Anything beyond that and he'd have to drop his work to study. Even so, Aizawa was somewhat knowledgeable of hard sciences. He had to be, at least, to engineer his own tools and work with his costume.]

Ahhh, I see. [He made no comment on the Time Trapper. There was one villain rumored to have been able to grant powers to others but only after stealing them from people who were born with them. He didn't play around with that thought. He should have had a visceral emotional reaction to it but it seemed like a fair concept--in the right hands.]

That explains a few things about you right away. When you tackle projects--how do you begin mapping out theories and how do you advance towards solutions? Do you have one method you prefer or multiple ones?

Tadashi takes a moment to consider how best to word his answer.]

If I'm free to choose my own project, my usual starting point is to pick a problem that needs a solution. For example, I mentioned that my primary focus at school was robotics engineering. My thesis project is the development of Baymax, which is a healthcare companion robot. I wanted to build something that could help people and keep them alive in emergency situations.

[Tadashi has to pause a moment, swallowing to make sure his voice remains steady. He can talk about his parents these days, but it's hard to disagree that he invented Baymax because he wished that someone had invented something like him before the accident. If there had just been someone around to help...

From there, I spend some time brainstorming possible solutions. I like to try and approach the problem from different angles, including both obvious solutions and solutions that are more off-the-wall. From there, it's mostly a matter of hard work and not being discouraged by setbacks. I'm willing to put in the work, even when it just seems like grinding against a brick wall, and setbacks sometimes have a way of leading you to better solutions.

[That was a lot of talking. Better sum it up.]

So I guess that I'd say I have the one method I prefer, but it's pretty flexible in its implementation.

[There were plenty of heroes who used their quirks to further the development of scientific theory and engineering. Aizawa saw good reason for those people to feel pride when it came to the use of their abilities. Really--anyone who put themselves forward in a field with everything they had was worthy of admiration.

Tadashi sounded like a good fellow, at least. Even so, the best of humanity still had its faults. There were geniuses who took long routes to come to simple conclusions from time to time. No matter how admirable someone could be, their reasoning could work against them.]

So, you make an effort to practice orthodox and nontraditional methods equally. [Hard work was something a little more difficult to prove but Aizawa also knew that it was important to give people chances.]

Well, fortunately for you--I prefer tried and true methods until nontraditional approaches become a necessity. That's where the line of my discrimination begins.

You're free to question my practices at any time--in fact, it's encouraged. If you come to understand the reasoning behind an exercise, then you'll probably come a few steps closer to implementing it into your behavior for a positive change in yourself.

That said--hard work will be something of a necessity of a man your age. It'll be harder for you as you already understand.
