Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 3: Supōtsufesutibaru no pureryūdo part 1
Several days have passed since the Shie Hassaikai raid, life slowly returned to normal for the UA Academy students involved in the rescue of Eri, and as Midoriya, Uraraka, Asui and Kirishima are having make-up lessons to catch up on the classes they missed, they were able to meet the requirements and hence they were not in danger of being left behind.
The four Class 1-A members were among those who attended the funeral of Sir Nighteye, and among those who attended are the following:
- All Might
- Centipeder
- Bubble Girl
- Mirio Togata
- Gran Torino
- Fat Gum
- Tamaki Amajiki
- Ryukyu
- Nejire Hado
- Rock Lock
- Shota Aizawa
While Togata held his head high while maintaining a positive outlook, Midoriya was silent as he felt that he failed in saving someone as the former sidekick of All Might died despite the fact that Midoriya done all he could to stop Chisaki.
Hado noticed his silent look and gently hugged him, and there she reminded him that what's done is already done, and assured to him that what mattered now is that Chisaki is defeated, his organization dismantled, and Eri is safe now.
Midoriya just nodded as Hado hugged him further saying that Togata might use his jokes to make him laugh if he sees Midoriya making a sad face.
"You should send Nighteye off with a smile, Midoriya-kun…"
"I…"
"Its okay to feel sad…but this isn't the end…right…?"
"Hado-senpai"
"You should look forward…a new day begins."
"…"
"So think positive now."
"I…okay…"
After a while Midoriya took a deep breath and slowly regain his composure, and he thanked Hado for cheering him up, which she smiled and said that it is okay, as she pointed out that Nighteye wanted his colleagues to send him off with a smile, which Togata is doing right now.
She tells Midoriya that he should do the same as this is what Nighteye also wanted.
"…and that's that…"
"Okay."
"Feeling better…?"
"Yeah…"
"If so…that's good to hear. Togata-kun said that humor is important…so you need to smile. Look at Togata-kun…"
"Okay…I understand."
"Then we're cool now…?"
"Yeah."
Midoriya took her advice and showed a rather optimistic look as the funeral services are ongoing and after some time Nighteye is buried and laid to rest, and there those who attended the funeral and burial are about to go separate ways.
Centipeder and Bubble Girl tells Togata not to rush and said that the agency is open and will wait for his return, which an upbeat Togata assured that he will be back and will put a smile at the agency that Nighteye has left behind.
"Don't worry! I'll be back for sure!"
"Okay."
"We'll be waiting…."
"And in two years from now we'll recruit Midoriya! And by then I might get my Quirk back!"
"That's the spirit!"
"We look forward to that."
"It's a promise."
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
Meanwhile, Gran Torino and All Might are talking and both are still saddened at Nighteye's passing, yet the elderly pro hero said that thanks to Midoriya, Nighteye was able to make peace with All Might and acknowledged Midoriya as the 9th Holder of One For All, and tells All Might that he should look forward to the future.
He then noticed that Hado is comforting Midoriya and this made Torino smirk as he sensed that a romance is brewing, though All Might said that this is one of Hado's good traits, yet Torino said that trait might entice Midoriya into developing feelings for the 3rd year student.
"R-really, sensei…?"
"That's what I think."
"Uh…"
"Now, now…having a romance is a good thing."
"I guess…"
"You should find one as well, Toshinori."
"Er…I don't know…"
"Come on now…"
As the UA Academy students are about to head back to Heights Alliance, Aizawa then asked Tsukauchi how Eri is doing, which Tsukauchi said that he would contact the hospital and see how her healing progress is, and he will inform Aizawa for any developments.
"And that is that, Eraser Head…"
"…"
"I'll let you know if there are any new developments."
"I see…"
"From what I heard…she…"
"…I get it. Just give me a call."
"Okay, Eraser Head."
"Thanks, Tsukauchi."
Midoriya overheard the discussion and this made him feel concerned as he haven't heard anything about Eri, and there Hado noticed it and she assured to him that Eri will be okay as the doctors are monitoring her and urged him not to worry unnecessarily, as he still needs to focus on his studies.
Midoriya nodded and said that he will, which Hado smiled and said that once semestral break commences, she would ask him to hang out with her, which made Midoriya blush, as he felt that she is inviting him to a date.
"Uh…hang out…?"
"Yup. You and me go to the mall and stuff."
"…"
"Is it okay with you…?"
"Well…"
"Hmm…?"
"If that is okay with you…"
"Yay! It's settled! A date! A date!"
Aizawa overheard it and wondered if this is a good thing or not, which Torino smirked while All Might face-palmed as he sees that his charge is about to get embroiled into something, yet Ryukyu said that this shows that Hado is looking forward with optimism and Togata is doing the same, hence Midoriya would benefit from having a good friendship with the Big Three of UA Academy.
"Really, Ryukyu…?"
"Yes, Mr. Torino."
"Hmm…I guess letting the kids go on a date with that girl might be beneficial…"
"Perhaps. Midoriya was shaken after seeing Nighteye pass away. And Hado would be a big help in getting the boy to get over the grief he experienced."
"Do those kids need a chaperone…?"
"Oh, there's no need."
"Heh."
"…"
Meanwhile, Amajiki overheard it as well and wondered if Hado is getting too cozy with Midoriya, and he sensed that the younger boy is taking advantage, as if Midoriya is having an ulterior motive towards Hado, which made him feel wary.
Togata smiled and assured that Midoriya is not like that, reiterating that Midoriya is really a good boy and not perverted, reminding Amajiki that Midoriya has a soft spot for girls like Eri, but Amajiki said that Hado is a different case.
They watched as Hado affectionately hugged Midoriya as she tells him that she knows of a good place where they can hang out and talk privately, much to the younger boy's embarrassment, and there Togata pointed out that Hado and Midoriya are getting along well.
"Look, Tamaki."
"…"
"Hado and Midoriya are in good terms. And you can see that they're comfortable with one another."
"I don't know…"
"Trust me, Tamaki. I've worked with Midoriya a few days ago. And I can tell that he's not a maniac."
"Really, Mirio...?"
"Yeah."
"…"
-x-
A several weeks later, life at UA Academy is ongoing, and soon the school announced that the upcoming school festival is approaching, and the students are excited and are now gearing up as they are preparing plans on which programs would they make for the school festival.
"Yahoo! School Festival is just around the corner!"
"Alright!"
"This is great!"
"I'm getting excited!"
"Food stalls! The booths!"
"The beauty contest!"
"This year is gonna be great!"
"Ha-ha!"
Meanwhile, Midoriya, Uraraka, Asui and Kirishima are having one last make-up classes, and before they are about to be dismissed, Aizawa told Midoriya that Eri has regained conscious and has calmed down, and this made Midoriya feel relieved as hearing that Eri is okay lessened his worry over her.
Aizawa then said that Eri requested that she would want to see Midoriya and Togata, as they were the last persons she saw before losing consciousness after Chisaki was defeated by Midoriya.
Midoriya was surprised to hear this, and there Uraraka, Asui and Kirishima told Midoriya to go visit Eri as this would surely help calm the little girl down after being rescued from the hands of Chisaki.
"Kero…"
"You should go, Deku."
"Yeah. Eri really wanted to see you."
"Kero…you should head there as soon as you can…"
"Don't mind us, Deku..."
"We'll fill you in later."
"Kero…"
"Go on…"
"We'll be okay…"
Aizawa watches on as Midoriya is being encouraged by his classmates to take the chance to visit Eri, and the homeroom teacher decided to provide escort to accompany his student, as well as to use his Erasure Quirk in case Eri unintentionally loses control of her Quirk if her emotions get out of hand.
There Aizawa tells Midoriya that he will talk to Nezu and ask permission to give Midoriya a day off in order to visit Eri, which Midoriya nodded and said that he will await the signal on whether to visit Eri or not.
"I see. I'll wait for your instructions."
"Okay."
"…"
"Just be patient, Midoriya."
"I understand."
"Good."
"…"
"…"
