I wanted to make sure everyone knows: I'm boycotting all my classes. No matter what.

I don't agree with the mission of this school, and I'm being held here against my will! So I'm officially on strike in protest of your unjust policies!

[It's true, as was pointed out to him: if he's protesting, he should let everyone know about it!

He's still not sure about the hunger strike part of his plan, as he needs to eat a lot. But he boycotted Thanksgiving, so that's a start.]

He already had amazing control since he trained with some bad people before. He came here because he wanted to do more to make up for the bad things he did with those people, but he must have realized his place was by his brother's side while his brother was going through physical rehab.

[Okay now Tenma has something of real substance to say.]

You're just running away from your problems! What if something happens that makes you use your powers by accident? A lot of people can get hurt, and not just mutants.

I didn't train with anyone. I didn't even know I had these powers. But you're wrong.

I'm not running away! What I wanted was to face up to what I did and stop it from happening again. I'm not going to be that monster again. You don't know what it's like. You don't know anything about it.

You're right, I don't know what it's like or what you went through. But I know I'm scared I'll accidentally hurt someone too. It's easy to say you will never use them, but things happen. When you're scared, your body reacts on by itself and you find yourself doing something you didn't think about. If a truck comes at you, you don't think about moving, you do it.

Maybe you don't have to use your powers. Maybe you can learn how to use it, like what you have to do to make it come out, so you can stop it. But when you neglect it, you're not facing anything at all.
