[ Never in his life he expected to be schooled by a kid a few years his junior.
Then again, even Mondo can tell that Damian's a lot more beyond his age ー not just in knowledge, but also in emotional maturity. What Damian's telling him is undoubtedly true, and it's why he can obediently keep his mouth shut and ears wide open. Being powerless definitely isn't an excuse, and if he had prepared better in his daily conduct, he might've been able to put up a better fight. He's aware of this, but it didn't feel this real until he finds out that Damian, too, has no powers at hand. It puts him to shame, and gives his pride some hard pounding.
But he has no time to be moping about it. He can't stay pathetic like this. It's why he began asking that military guy some pointers, too. If Damian's providing him with some suggestions, fuck looking cool, he's taking any that's thrown his way. He gulps quietly at the boy's pinpoint questions. Just how much he knows about the Hope's Peak? He surely isn't the son of the 'world's greatest detective' for nothing. ]
Y, yeah. That's right. I'm the Super High School Level Biker Gang Leader. [ He pauses, thinking. What's his skill, then? He doesn't have one that stands out in particular, unlike the rest. ] I... I've got some great controls and knowledge in bikes. [ Though he hasn't managed to successfully build a bike that he can be proud of. ] I'm fast. [ But not as fast as his big bro. ] I led the strongest biker gang in the whole of Japan. [ Not as well as his big bro, either. It was built in lies, after all. ] I... hold up well in street fights, but that proved to be useless back in that tower.
[ When he's listed them all, he begins to feel an undeniable dread in realising his lack of capability. Shit. What exactly can he do, then? He can train, sure, but what else? His voice clearly displays his dimming confidence, growing quieter and quieter as he goes, and he's normally that one person who doesn't know what indoor voice is. ]
