The four were allowed more freedom to roam the next day, Hijiri just needed to be accompanied by a nurse who would push his wheelchair around the building. The four often went outside into the hospital's gardens or stayed in their room during the next two days, doctors and nurses coming in to check on them periodically.

"You think they told Aizawa about what happened?" Hijiri asks, looking up at Izuku while they move through the gardens. The nurse pushing Hijiri was a pretty woman that had a single horn on her head and some purple scales on her skin.

"I don't think so." Izuku responds as they turn a corner past a flowerbed filled with red, orange and red flowers. "They wanted to keep it quiet, didn't they?"

"That's true." Hijiri mutters, turning to look at the flowers they were passing. "I should be starting my physical therapy tomorrow, I can feel everything up to my calves, so my thighs should get their feeling back over the course of the day. I wonder what sort of stuff I'll be doing?" A smile plays along Hijiri's lips as he sees some bees flying over the flowers. Izuku looks at Hijiri with a glint of sadness in his eyes.

"Oi, don't look at me like that, Izuku." Hijiri says, turning back to Izuku. "I don't want you feeling sorry for me when I don't feel sorry for myself." Izuku looks at Hijiri with shock before smiling at him.

"Right!" Izuku chirps, turning to look out over the gardens. Hijiri glances at Izuku's shoulders, where her knew Izuku still had bandages around his shoulders. "But if I can't feel sorry for you, then you can't feel bad about not protecting me from the Noumu." Izuku says, tilting his head to look at Hijiri. Hijiri and Izuku look between each other before bursting out in soft laughter.

"Deal!" Hijiri says in between laughing as they round the final corner in the hospital's garden. The two of them then spot Todoroki sitting on a bench up ahead and make their way towards him. "Hey, Todoroki!"

"Izuku, Hijiri." Todoroki greets with a nod. He stands up to join the two for the rest of their walk/ride. The three quietly go back to their room, where they find a doctor leaving with a smile. They head inside to find Iida looking and moving his hands experimentally.

"At least one of us can move their limbs again." Hijiri jokes as the nurse helps him onto his bed. "Thank you." Hijiri says, bowing his head to her. She smiles and bows back before exiting the room.

"I'm going to be discharged sometime tomorrow. I wish you a speedy recovery." Iida tells them, moving his scarred hand slowly. "I believe Izuku and Todoroki will also be discharged tomorrow?" Todoroki nods.

"Yeah, they only kept me to make sure the Noumu's claws didn't infect my shoulders." Izuku says. "The bandages I have on aren't necessary, just a precaution."

"I'm going to be here a few more days because of my legs." Hijiri says, turning his legs a little bit. "I'll probably not be able to make it back to Endeavour's for the rest of the internship." He says to Todoroki, who only nods back.

"Mom's not going to be happy we got hurt, again." Izuku muses a few minutes later, getting confused looks from Iida and Todoroki. Hijiri flinches slightly, making the other two boys even more confused.

"Just don't start crying with her, or I won't be able to absorb the water fast enough." Hijiri teases Izuku.

Iida and Todoroki exchange a confused look which makes Hijiri and Izuku burst out laughing.

Next Monday

First School Day After Internships

Hijiri and Izuku walk up to their classroom, Hijiri limping slightly. The sound of laughter from the class could be heard even through the door. The twins look between each other before Hijiri shrugs and opens the door, instantly spotting Bakugo's new hairstyle and the fact that Kirishima and Sero were laughing at him.

"BWHWAHAHA!" Hijiri couldn't stop himself from laughing at Bakugo's absolutely enraged expression, which contrasted with his perfectly combed hair. "How much gel did that take?!" Hijiri asks, slowly moving to stand next to Kirishima and Sero.

"TOO MUCH!" Bakugo yells. "EVEN WASHING IT DOESN'T HELP!"

"You look like Iida now!" Kirishima exclaims suddenly, pointing at Bakugo's then Iida's current hairstyles. Sero and Hijiri start laughing louder when they realise he was right.

"I DON'T LOOK LIKE CARS-FOR-LEGS!" Bakugo shrieks, causing his hair to explode back to normal. The three boys start laughing even louder at the sight. "FINALLY!" Bakugo screams, making the three have to hold each other up as they buckle over from laughter.

"He got so mad his hair fixed itself!" Hijiri exclaims, making Kirishima and Sero start laughing with renewed vigour.

"You really got to take out villains?" Ashido asks Jirou and Tsuyu. "That's awesome!"

"I was just playing a support role, no real fighting." Jirou responds casually, twirling her earphone jack idly.

"That's still awesome!" Ashido argues heatedly, pointing at Jirou's face.

"I just did training and patrol... Though we did have to capture some foreign smugglers at one point." Tsuyu says blankly.

"That sounds amazing!" Ashido exclaims. "You have to tell me about that at lunch!"

"Sure." Tsuyu says, turning to look at Uraraka. "How'd the week go for you, Ochako?"

"It was very..." Uraraka says, sliding through martial art forms with scary effectiveness. "Instructive..." She breathes out as she throws a strong straight punch.

"That's some awakening." Tsuyu says.

"She was with Gunhead, right? What did he do to her?" Jirou asks the other two.

"That's a big change in only a week..." Kaminari says with a shudder. "I was quite spoiled if I'm honest. It was loads of fun. But if we're talking about the internships with the most action, it would have to be the four who encountered the Hero Killer."

"Yeah! You guys fought with Stain, didn't you?" Sero asks. Bakugo had grabbed Kirishima and Sero's heads and was pushing them to the ground.

"It's lucky you're still alive." Kirishima says from his bowed position. "Though Endeavour saved you guys, right? That's the Number 2 Hero for you!"

"Right, we were saved..." Todoroki says slowly.

"Just wish he was fast enough to stop me from being stabbed." Hijiri grumbles, walking to stand with Izuku while lightly massaging his thighs.

"At least you can still walk." Ojiro says. "Better than the alternative."

"I don't disagree, but I'd rather not have been stabbed in the first place." Hijiri deadpans. Ojiro scratches his head awkwardly.

"I am Here!" All Might in his buff form announces to the class, who were all equipped in their Hero Costumes. "And the reason for that is... Basic Training! It's been a short while! How are you all doing?"

"That was a very bland entrance." Kaminari remarks.

"I expected more after a break." Jirou mutters back.

"Maybe he ran out of shticks?" Hijiri says rhetorically.

"I never run out of shticks!" All Might declares before continuing with the actual lesson. "As an immediate follow up to your Internships, we'll be doing a version of Rescue Training! It'll be a race this time around!"

"This is Training Field Gamma!" All Might says. "It's a dense spread of factories and machinery meshed together to create a maze-like jungle of metal and concrete! You'll be split into four groups of five with each group going one at a time! Once everyone is in place I shall release a distress signal from somewhere inside. After that it is a free-for-all race to reach me first!"

"And obviously, attacking others and destroying the environment is a big no-no!" All Might declares, subtly glancing at Bakugo before pulling out a list of groups.

Group 1 - Izuku, Ojiro, Sero, Ashido, Iida
Group 2 - Hijiri, Tokoyami, Aoyama, Uraraka, Sato
Group 3 - Bakugo, Tsuyu, Jirou, Shoji, Hagakure
Group 4 - Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, Kirishima, Kaminari, Koda

As the first five prepare to start the rest of the class either stretch, relax or start betting on who would win.

"It's like all of the class's mobility experts are on this one team." Kaminari comments lazily.

"Yeah. It seems like Izuku will be at a big disadvantage, even with what he showed off at the Sports Festival." Momo says.

"I'm still not completely sold on his power and skills." Jirou agrees. "Even if Present Mic says that he's one of our class's powerhouses..."

"Right. If he has to hurt himself to do that..." Momo nods, trailing off at the end.

"Izuku's going to surprise all of us." Hijiri comments. "I'd say he's taking first."

"Nah, Sero's got this in the bag!" Kirishima disagrees quickly.

"Don't count Ojiro out completely." Kaminari says, leaning back.

"Deku will come in last!" Bakugo declares loudly, getting a glare from Todoroki and Hijiri.

"Even with his injury, I think Iida has a good chance." Uraraka says, swaying slightly from side to side as she watches the giant screen set up for them to watch the race from.

"Start!" All Might's voice calls over the speakers. All five of the racers blast off from the start and rush through the city at a good speed. Sero takes an early lead by using his tape to launch himself up and over the buildings before using them to swing across the city.

"See! In a cramped place like this Sero can blast ahead!" Kirishima exclaims, pointing at the screen to emphasise his point.

"You're underestimating Izuku." Hijiri says, pointing at another screen, this one focused on Izuku. Izuku was quickly gaining on Sero, using Full Cowling to jump onto the roof tops then parkour across the arena.

"Those look like..." Uraraka mumbles, watching how Izuku was sliding across the metal pipes before launching into the air.

"He's mixed Bakugo's and Hijiri's moves." Tsuyu says.

Izuku jumps from the top of a building and goes to land on a metal pipe, when his foot slides off of it. Reacting quickly he grabs it with his hand and swings himself at a nearby wall, his body landing in a crouch position. He then uses the wall as a springboard to jump up onto the closest roof and continue his rush through the factory city.

'That was close!' Izuku thinks as he continues, now about halfway to All Might. 'I have to pay more attention to my landings!'

Izuku skids to a halt in front of All Might with a smile plastered on his face as sweat drips down his form. Izuku huffs tiredly as All Might smiles even wider and hands him a sash that declared him the winner.

"Well don, Young Izuku." All Might congratulates Izuku. "Come see me after class, there is something important I have to tell you."

Izuku looks up at All Might with a nod before turning to watch Sero arrive, followed by Iida, Ojiro and Ashido.

"Young Midoriya may have won this time, but I can tell all of you have improved in some way!" All Might says and gives everyone a thumbs up. "Keep up the good work! You should start preparing for the final exams!"

The second group had all arrived at their positions and were currently waiting for All Might to declare the start. Hijiri had pushed fire out of his costume's back and shifted the shape into two large wings that shifted and stretched as he did the same in anticipation. Hijiri looks at the city, trying to spot where All Might would be to try and gain a slight advantage.

"Start!" All Might's voice echoes out of the arena, followed by a plume of blue smoke rising from one of the buildings near the center. Hijiri crouches down as his wings flare out before he launches into the air. The wings spread out even further and flap before blasting Hijiri towards where the blue smoke originated from. The air blew past like a storm as he lowered his flight to be low, but not low enough to hit anything.

'This is so much better than walking nowadays.' Hijiri thought as his wings spread out and turned his body vertical to slow him down as he stops just above where All Might was standing, looking up at him with his normal smile carved into his face. Hijiri lowered slowly to the ground, landing gently to try and not strain his scarred legs.

"Hello, Young Hijiri! You're the first one here! So, this is yours for this group!" All Might tells him loudly, handing him a sash like Izuku's. "You set a really good time! The landing could have been faster."

"Thanks." Hijiri says, siting down as he waits for the others. "I took the landing slow to not irritate the scars." Hijiri gestures to his thighs as he lets his wings dissipate.

"Ah, yes, I heard about what happened..." All Might says. He suddenly sounded awkward as he watched Tokoyami approaching with Uraraka behind him. "I hope that you recover well."

"I'll do what I can." Hijiri grunts. Tokoyami arrives then, being carried by Dark Shadow, the two touch down and skid to a halt near All Might and Hijiri. Then Uraraka floats up to the roof, she puts her fingertips together and drops to the roof where she stumbles slightly before regaining her balance in a second. Sato then throws himself over the edge of the building.

"Hey, Uraraka." Hijiri greets, waving to her. Uraraka smiles then jogs over and bounces excitedly.

"Oh, so you won? I just knew you would!" Uraraka says. "Though I still tried my best! It seems like the Top 4 are going to win each of their races."

"Top 4?" Hijiri asks her. Uraraka jumps before she starts to wave her hands around quickly as her face flushes red.

"O-o-oh! Um, I just wanted something easier to say than the four powerhouses!" Uraraka exclaims. "Like the Top 4 strongest in our class! Y-You don't have to use that if you don't want..."

"Huh, Top 4..." Hijiri mumbles, watching as Aoyama clambers onto the roof from the fire escape. "I like it. It has a nice ring to it. Thanks for the awesome name!" Hijiri smiles at Uraraka who smiles back as the five students head back while All Might goes to find another hiding spot.
