As a warning, for those who really like Deku stop reading now, there will be Midoriya bashing in this chapter and from now on. It is mild but iit is there.
Other than that I hope you enjoy
All in all, the internship was pretty sucky. Though I think it had more to do with the fact that I spent most of it in the hospital.
Following what was an attack by the league of villains, there were a lot of people injured, they took priority. So for the majority of the week I was healing up.
But it wasn't like nothing was going on.
I was sharing a room with Todoroki, Midoriya, and Iida. They were there not because they were hurt by the Nomus, no. That would be too simple. They got hurt taking down the Hero Killer, Stain.
During our stay the police and their mentors chewed them out. Sure they took down the Hero Killer, but it was against the law to freely use our quirk without a license. Which is exactly what they did.
In the end, so they wouldn't get reprimanded, the people were told that Endeavor was the one who took Stain out.
I was also gifted a visit by the local authorities. They thanked me for bringing the man in and told me his name was Hirato Kusuke. The woman he killed was his wife, Nobume. Apparently she'd been cheating on him. He found out and just snapped. Maybe he thought he could get away during the chaos. He probably would have if I hadn't been there.
But what really got me was Endeavor telling me I did a good job, that I'd shown him that he didn't make a mistake choosing me for his internship.
Once we were all released from the hospital we all returned to our internships which, at least for Todoroki and I, finished with nothing noteworthy to mention.
After giving Fuyumi her clothes back, I was driven to the station and was on my way home. While staying at the Todoroki's had been enjoyable, I was looking forward to seeing Umiko and Toshi again.
Though I wasn't looking forward to the babying that was sure to come. I knew Umiko must have been contacted about my injury, and I was sure she'd treat me like I'd break any second. While it was nice to know how much she cared, it could get really annoying.
Sure enough, the moment I entered the house Umiko was on me. She didn't even give me a chance to say hello.
"Oh Misa! Are you alright? Are you hurting anywhere?" Umiko exclaimed, holding my face in her hands, a worried expression on her face.
Placing my hands on hers I said, "I'm fine Umiko, really."
"Are you sure, really sure? Cause I can drive you to the hospital right now if you need me to. Just say the word and we'll go."
"Umiko, I'm fine. I promise"
Umiko let out a relieved sigh. "That's good. Go put your stuff away and meet me in the kitchen, we're going to have a feast! Grab Toshi while you're at it ok?" The older woman exclaimed, pumping her fist into the air.
I giggled, nodded and headed up to my room. I put my stuff away and changed out of my uniform into something more comfortable, then I stopped by Toshi's room.
Toshi's door was open. I could see her lying down on her bed reading a book. I knocked lightly on her door and she looked up at me.
"Hey."
"Hey," Toshi smiled warmly at me. It was amazing how much our relationship had changed over the past year.
"Mom told me what happened, are you ok?" She asked, sitting up in bed.
"No, I'm alright. The hospital healed me up."
"That's good, though I imagine Mom is giving you a hard time?" Toshi asked, a touch of humor in her voice.
I laughed.
"Yeah. Speaking of Umi, she needs both of us downstairs, in her words, we're going to have a feast."
Toshi nodded and got up. Knowing the older girl would be right behind me I headed downstairs in a good mood. Well, at least until Umiko refused to let me anywhere near the stove or knives.
Babying, I swear.
We were back at school on monday. I'd gotten there early, as usual, and was chatting with Yaoyorozu, or Yaomomo. What was odd was that Bakugou wasn't there. I'd gotten so used to seeing him there in the morning it was a little odd.
As the time passed, more and more of my classmates piled in. I greeted my friends, well, all but Kirishima. I still wasn't over the sports festival. We talked about our internships and told them about the murderer I caught. Kaminari was a little too impressed, it was kind of funny. Then, I mentioned I was staying at the Todoroki household and, well, for the lack of better words, Mina freaked.
She let out a gasp, then a gleeful smile split across her grabbed my hand and immediately dragged me to where most of the other girls were. Not expecting the sudden movement, I almost fell over my own feet as I was dragged. I sent a pleading look to Sero and Kaminari, hoping the too would help me out. But they were too preoccupied with Bakugou who had just arrived. And, well, I couldn't blame them. Seeing the boy I couldn't help but laugh at his hair.
It was, God, it looked like it was glued to his head. It was ridiculous. Even more amusing, at the same time he let off two tiny explosions in anger, his hair just went back to normal.
"Don't think I don't see you laughn' too Braids!" The boy exclaimed, causing me to try and stifle my laughter with my hand.
"No way!"
Hagekures' voice then caught my attention and I turned away from Bakugou and the little group Mina had dragged me to.
"Way! Misaki told me herself, right?" Mina said, directing the group's attention to me.
I blinked, all my humour from Bakugou's hair gone as I looked around in confusion.
"W-what?"
"You were staying with Todoroki during the internship, right?" Mina elaborated, dark eyes seeming to glimmer at me.
"Uh, yeah?" That's what she meant? What was the big deal about that?
I was at a loss for words as Hagekure and Mina squealed, even Jirou looked interested.
"What was it like, Staying with him?" The invisible girl exclaimed, jumping up and down with glee.
"His sister was nice." I said, shrugging. I wasn't really sure what they wanted to hear.
"What, no that doesn't matter! Tell us what he was like at home!" Mina giggle, a light blush on her cheeks.
I blinked.
"Well, I was only there for a few days. I actually spent more time in the hospital than at his house. But while I was there, I guess he…..wore a lot of turtlenecks?" I watched as both Mina and Hagekure squealed. I didn't really understand why they were so excited about that information. I guess Todoroki's pretty attractive, but he kind of seems like an idiot. At least socially.
Checking my phone I saw class was going to start soon. I broke away from the group and headed to my desk. Not long after everyone was sitting and Aizawa entered. We stood, bowed, and took roll call.
"Welcome back from your internships. But don't think you can afford to relax. End of term test is right around the corner."
Some of the class, Mina and Kaminari to be exact, groaned at this. They were obviously not looking forward to studying.
In terms of rankings, I was 11. I tended to get really anxious with tests, but I was pretty confident I'd pass the exams. I had Toshi helping me with my studying, and she was really smart.
Mina and Kaminari on the other hand, they were right at the bottom. I'd considered asking them if they wanted Toshi to help them as well but it looked like Yaomomo had been appointed to that role. Kirishima seemed to be studying with Bakugou. Probably not something I'd want to do, but whatever.
Aizawa cleared his throat to get the classes attention and sighed.
"Since you're all in the hero course there will be practical exams you'll have to pass as along with your written ones." He announced, causing the class to break into whispers, wondering what the practicals would consist of.
"This year we will also be having a week long training camp, but-" Aizawa was cut off by the yells of surprise and celebration coming from the class. While I kept quiet, I was just as excited.
"Everybody quiet down, Sensei isn't done talking!" Iida shouted, earning a nod of thanks from our teacher.
"Those who fail either of their exams with have to take supplementary exams instead of going to the camp."
….And there went everyone's mood. It was actually kind of funny. Before people were cheering, smiles on their faces. But now some of them looked like they'd just been told their pet died.
As Aizawa's forbording news sunk in, All Might entered the classroom and told us to go get changed into our hero costumes and meet him in field Gamma.
At this most of the classes moods went back to normal and we all filed out of the classroom.
Once everyone was changed and in field Gamma, All Might explained what we'd be doing. He told us he'd split us into groups of 5. One by one the groups would have the race across field Gamma to get to a certain point.
The first group consisted of Sero, Mina, Iida, Ojiro, and Midoriya. I overheard my classmates discussing who'd come on top, most of them immediately thinking that Midoriya would lose due to the fact that the drawback of his quirk was his bones breaking. I….wasn't so sure.
In the aftermath of Stain, I'd noticed that Midoriya didn't have any broken bones. At first I thought he just hadn't used his quirk, but the police reprimanded all three of them for using their quirks illegally. It was just a guess, but I thought that Midoriya had figured out a way to use his quirk without breaking all his bones.
And it seemed, once they were given the signal to start, that I was right. Midoriya was using his quirk without injuring himself. But that wasn't what I was focusing on.
Midoriya was using Bakugou's moves.
I was, well, shocked. I couldn't believe Midoriya would do that. He seemed like a nice kid, he'd been really pleasant during our stay at the hospital. But right now he was stealing the moves Bakugou must have spent years developing.
Hell, I was even considering forming a friendship with him, even though he was really close with Uraraka. But now…..
I was just disappointed.
