Chapter 25: Let's Celebrate!
Izuku and Katsuki were of course brought to the nurse's office, where Recovery Girl took care of Katsuki while Shiro took care of Izuku.
"Okay… I'm going to give you the potion after the medal ceremony because you know… TV." Said Shiro.
Izuku nodded.
"Just try not to show off your hand during the medal ceremony." said Shiro.
That was Kirishima came into the room.
"Hey… what bring you guys in here?" asked Shiro.
"I think they want to check up on us…" said Izuku.
"Actually I have some bad news." Said Kirishima.
"What something happened to the medals?" asked Katsuki sarcastically.
"No… it's Iida's brother… he got attacked and they sent him to healers." Said Kirishima.
Both of them realized that he meant that it wasn't for broken bones.
"Any news yet?" asked Izuku.
"No…" sighed Kirishima.
That was when he noticed Izuku's hand.
"What happen to you hand?" asked Kirishima.
"I guess you didn't' notice… I had to get my bones vanished." Said Izuku, "I'm going to take Skele-gro after the medal ceremony."
"You have to get that spell under control…" muttered Katsuki.
"I know…" Izuku laughed nervously.
"Well you tow seem to be fine…" said Recovery Girl, "Leave and don't come back to the rest of the day."
"Uh…" said Izuku holding up his boneless hand.
"Oh right…" she muttered to herself.
"Go get your silver and come back here." Said Shiro.
Izuku nodded.
They went to the location where they would go to the podium, with Kirishima and Todoroki sharing the third place spot.
Everyone else waited for the medal ceremony, with everyone who participated watching the ceremony.
"All right! Let's hear it for the winners of this year's First Year Sports Festival"! called out Midnight as the four were raised into place.
Izuku managed to hide his hand behind his back so that it would be public.
"Now to give the medals!" called out Midnight.
Everyone turned to see All Might leaping in.
"I am here to give the medals!" cheered All Might.
"It's All Might!" called out Midnight.
There was an awkward silence as they realized that Midnight talked over All Might and his grand entrance.
"Sorry about that…" said Midnight.
All Might coughed and started to give the medals. Starting with the bronze medals.
"While neither one of you made it to the finals." Said All Might, "The two of you did a great job! And I'm sure that you will do well in the future."
He hung the medals on Kirishima and Todoroki's neck. With Kirishima smiling brightly and Todoroki unsure how to respond. Then he hugged both of them.
He moved onto the first place runner up, Izuku.
"Young Midoriya." Said All Might, "I know that wizards are often looked down and it's rare for a wizard to attend UA. But I am glad that you were able to prove that you are able to stand with those with quirks, even if you didn't get first place."
He placed the medal on his neck and hugged him. And of course it was time to give the final medals;.
"Young Bakugo! You stood proud today as the winner! And I know you're goals for the future and I hope you achieve them!" said All Might.
He placed the gold medal around his neck and went for a hug.
"Don't hug me!" yelled Katsuki.
"Oh come on Young Bakugo!" said All Might, "It's just a hug!"
"He doesn't like hugs." Said Izuku.
"Don't you dare hug me!" yelled Katsuki making the hero sweat drop.
Also Kirishima started to laugh Todoroki just looked it and sighed.
Accept ted that he wouldn't be able to hug Katsuki turned to the students who were into main field.
"Now… you might not have been able to stand here, just know there is a chance for the future." Said All Might, "Learn from this and one duty you might be able to stand here… now there's something else I want to say and I'm sure that you all know what it is!"
The crowd got existed thinking they knew what it was…
They weren't on the same page.
"Plus Ultra"! yelled the crowd.
"Good job everyone!" said All Might.
The crowd began to boo the number one hero for not taking the perfect chance of using the school motto.
After that little batch of awkwardness, Izuku went back to Shiro to take the potion.
When he rejoined the class for a final homeroom, everyone saw how Izuku looked.
"Hey Midoriya are you okay?" asked Ojiro.
"Just one final bit of healing…" Izuku said rather asked though the pain.
"Wait… what happened?" asked Ojiro.
That was when they noticed his hand.
"They had to vanish his bones." Said Katsuki.
"Regrowing bones is very painful… so I haven't been able to take the potion until now…" said Izuku.
"It's not that painful is it?" asked Mina.
"It feels like there a bunch of large splinters in my hand…" said Izuku;.
"If you don't want that to happen again perfect the spell." Said Katsuki.
"I know." Said Izuku.
Once the class got started Aizawa explained about the draft picks and they were already coming in. Also they would have the next couple days free so they can rest after the Sports Festival.
There wasn't much to say other than that.
Once it was over Izuku walked over to Todoroki.
"Hey! My mom is going to make a big meal tomorrow for me, Kacchan and Kirishima and if you want to join us you can…" said Izuku.
"No… I'm fine." Said Todoroki, "I'm thinking doing something else…"
"Oh… okay…" said Izuku.
He got a feeling what it was.
"Good luck." He said.
Todoroki nodded.
As Izuku was heading to the train station with his friends, he heard Tsubasa called out.\
"Hey!" said Tsubasa, "You got a minute."
"She's not here for an ambush so it's fine." Muttered Katsuki to Ochaco and Kirishima.
"I know…" said Ochaco.
"are you sure?" asked Kirishima.
Katsuki rolled his eyes and pulled them away.
"You did good!" said Tsubasa.
"Thanks." Said Izuku.
"Though that hand of yours…" said Tsubasa.
"I know…" sighed Izuku.
"Hey… I've gotten my bones vanished quite a few times…" said Tsubasa, "Hey at least it's a smaller body part and not a big one… once had to vanish my whole leg…"
"Yeah…" sighed Izuku.
"By the way… if you wondering I've gotten word that there's plenty of heroes who want to pick you so…, don't expect one from me." Said Tsubasa.
"I figured." Said Izuku.
"Besides I already have plans for one of your classmates." Said Tsubasa, "One that I haven't officially met yet."
"Really who?" asked Izuku.
"You'll just have to wait and see…" said Tsubasa with an evil grin.
"I already feel bad for them..." thought Izuku with a sweat drop.
"Still./.. like I said you did good! And I'll see you tomorrow! Your mom invited me for tomorrow." Said Tsubasa.
"Okay." Said Izuku.
Tsubasa decided to turn into a raven and fly away for a cool exit.
Though she did caw a few times when she flew over Katsuki just to see him jump.
"You crow bitch!" yelled Katsuki.
They heard her laughing as she flew over them.
"Wait… did she just laugh?" asked Ochaco.
Izuku had rejoined them.
"Yeah… ravens are one of those birds that can mimic sounds." Said Izuku.
"She rarely does it though." Muttered Katsuki.
"Seriously?" asked Kirishima.
"Oh did you tell your parents about tomorrow?" asked Izuku.
"Yeah… but they want to do something else with me…" said Kirishima.
"That makes sense…" said Izuku.
"Will you be heled by tomorrow?" asked Ochaco.
"Yeah… my hand will be fine by then." Said Izuku.
He then sighed.
"Hey do you need to sit down?" asked Kirishima.
"No I'm fine…" said Izuku, "I'm just thinking about Iida too."
"I hope his brother wise okay…" sighed Ochaco.
Izuku nodded.
Meanwhile, Iida got to the hospital, his mother hugged him.
"Did they get him time?" asked Iida.
"They got him just in time…" his mother explained breathing a sigh of relief, "If he had gotten there just minutes later it would have been irremissible."
Iida breathed a sigh of relief.
He had learned about the magical window of opportunity and how there have many close calls.
He was so relieved that they got to him in time so that they were able to fix it.
The next day;… everyone had gathered at the Midoriya apartment. Kirishima and Ochaco as it turned out arrived at the same time.
"I hope there's plenty of food." Said Kirishima.
"Don't worry my mom made a lot." Said Izuku.
'SO your hand is all right?" asked Ochaco.
"Yeah good as new…" said Izuku.
"Isn't it new?" asked Ochaco.
Izuku sweat dropped when she said that.
"Oh Kacchan's already here with his parents." Said Izuku.
"Awesome! I bet that he's just like his dad." Joked Ochaco.
Izuku sweat dropped.
"What's wrong?" asked Ochaco.
"You'll see." Said Izuku.
They got to the living room and kitchen area and found that Katsuki was airing with one of his parents. ]
His mother Mitsuki… who resembled an older female version of her son.
"You want to say that again you old hag!" yelled Katsuki.
"Izuku could have easily won if he took things super seriously." Said Mitsuki.
"Oh come on!" said Tsubasa who was there, "Izuku wanted to show off…"
She then grinned.
"If he didn't want to show off and wanted to win he could have easily ended it whenever he wanted." Said Tsubasa.
"Fuck you crow!" yelled Katsuki.
"Watch your fucking mouth when it comes to a pro hero." Said Mitsuki.
"She hears me swear all the damn time"! yelled Katsuki.
Ochaco and Kirishima saw the two arguing were surprised.
"Kacchan takes after his mother…" said Izuku laughing nervously.
"Hey! You guys are here too!" said Tsubasa.
"Mom made a lot." Said Izuku.
"I'll be sure to take some home"! said Ochaco.
"So you're two of Katsuki's friends… thanks for hanging out with him he's a handful." Said Mitsuki ruffling her son's hair.
"Stop it hag." Muttered Katsuki.
"Don't worry Kacchan is such a good friend." Said Ochaco.
"Hey! I thought there was another person in your friend group?" asked Mitsuki.
"Iida couldn't make it… his brother was attacked by a villain." Said Izuku.
"Oh no…" said Inko.
"Did any of you get any word?" asked Ochaco.
The others shook their heads no.
"we'll probably find out when school gets back in." said Izuku.
"Who's ready to eat!" cheered Tsubasa.
"Wait about Bakugo's dad?" asked Kirishima.
"He's over there…" said Katsuki.
He pointed to a brown haired man and they only just noticed now.
During the meal, Inko told them what happened when she was watching the sports festival.
"I cried so many times that I passed to a few times." Said Inko blushing.
"That is so you Inko…" laughed Mitsuki.
"I know… but I couldn't help… I'm so proud of him." Cried Inko.
Ochaco and Kirishima looked at the two mothers then at the two best friends.
"Okay… good you're seeing it too." Said Tsubasa.
The two nodded.
They knew that Izuku was very similar to his mother…
But seeing that Katsuki was the same way with his mom.
It was just weird…
"Good I'm not crazy." Said Tsubasa.
"Uh…" said Ochaco unsure how to respond to that.
"I'm just messing you on that point." Said Tsubasa.
They had a nice good meal celebrating the sports festival.
At the same time Todoroki went to visit his mother which thankfully went well.
And with Iida speeding time with his brother the day after the Sports festival was going quite well…
However none of them were sure was going to happen in the future especially with internships coming up… but it should be interesting…
Next Time: It's time to choose hero names and to pick out where their going to intern. What will be Izuku' name and who will he choose. Also who did Tsubasa offer an internship with. Find out next time!
A/N: By the way that's true about ravens (and crows) that they can mimic sounds. I've seen a video on YouTube where a woman is getting a crow to say "Hello" "Hi" and mimic a cough... I've also heard stories of crows saying "caw" like a human... I have yet to se videos of that yet... and yes Tsubasa likes to mess with villains like that in raven form by saying things...
