I was promptly brought to Recovery Girl, who forced me to sip water and rest while she cleaned the blood off of me. Soon enough my grandmother appeared, the rest of my family unable to receive the clearance to see me.
"Baba..", I spoke as I sat up from the bed.
She walked towards me and sat on the edge, "Sit back, I don't want you to strain yourself."
I listened to her wishes, "I-I don't know what happened out there. It was as if I had no control over it... I don't think it was my vectoring quirk that did that."
"In a way, it was.", she began to pet my head, "I had a feeling this was going to happen."
"You knew?", I questioned.
She shrugged, "Not necessarily. I had a feeling there was more to your power, it only made sense that there was a mental ability involved with your quirk.", she pinched my cheek, "My power is telekinesis, so being your grandma means there was a chance there was a nonphysical aspect to your power. It must have been dormant this entire time."
"A little heads up would have been nice.", I grumbled.
"I gave Eraserhead the warning, hoping that he would be there to mediate if it got out of hand.", she smiled as she pulled her hands away, "There was no telling how powerful it would have been once awakened."
"Stop talking about it like some magical presence inside of me, you're being dramatic.", I rolled my eyes.
Baba sighed, "I'm only being truthful.", she took a pause, "I wonder what it was that made you finally tap into this power."
I was pulled back into my memory of meeting Todoroki's father. The rage from Endeavor's words began to boil up again, causing the lights to flicker. In a quick second Aizawa was in the doorway, canceling out my quirk with his stare. The lights went back to normal. I took a deep breath as my grandmother squeezed my hand in hers.
"You need to get your emotions in check.", Aizawa began as he put some eye drops in, "Now that it has surfaced, it can be dangerous due to your lack of control."
I nodded my head, "I'm sorry, sensei. I will do my best."
"Good.", Baba releases my hand and began walking to the doorway. "We have already arranged additional training between the two of us to try and tackle this new power."
"Both of you?", I sighed as I moved the covers from my legs and began to stretch.
"Yes, the both of us.", Baba rolled her eyes, "You have my quirk after all.", she patted Aizawa in the back, "Eraserhead also excels as a pro despite having a non physical quirk, you're lucky he's even taking you on. Be thankful, hm?"
Quickly I scrambled to bow my head, "S-sorry, you're right. Thank you grandmother and sensei. I will do my best."
Aizawa gave a grumble in response and my grandmother nodded her head with a smile.
"Training will begin soon. You will train with Telekin in the mornings before school, and your sessions with me will begin after the school day.", he turned around ready to leave, "Be prepared for me to pull you from your lunch break once you've finished eating as well. I refuse to accept anything less than one hundred percent, and you cannot slack off on any of your other responsibilities on top of this. If your grades begin to slip in any of your classes, I will drop you."
He turned and left us alone, probably going back to the announcer booth with Present Mic.
Baba continued with her smile, "At home we will start a strict routine, but we will get more into that later."
I nodded my head in response, my mind running with all this new information. There was an entire side of my quirk that has been completely untapped for years. I fucking lost the festival in the second round of the final tournament. I was going to have to begin training like a mad man with my grandma and Aizawa to make up for it. Earlier I made a promise to fight the number two pro hero in Japan if he tried me again. I thought my plate was already full, but now it's overflowing.
"Aiya?", my grandmother spoke, bringing my attention back to her, "We are only doing this because we want you to be the best version of yourself. All of this is for you, and you know if it becomes too much we will work to make sure it's something you can handle. We, meaning our family, are very proud of everything you have done today. You should be proud even though you lost. Winning isn't everything."
I smiled at her, "Yes, I know. Thank you for everything, Baba. I will do my best to get everything done. I want to be stronger, and I appreciate your efforts to get me there."
"Good, we will see you at home, okay?", she concluded as she turned and began walking away.
Shortly after that Recovery Girl released me from her hold. No longer competing, I slowly dragged myself to my class's seating booth. Frankly, I was fucking exhausted. I didn't even know where the tournament was currently at, nonetheless who was even still competing. When I finally made it to the stands, I saw that Iida and Todoroki were in the middle of battle. They were currently in the semi-finals, Tokoyami and Katsuki were next to compete.
I watched from the back of the section as Iida used his special move, landing two hard hitting kicks at Todoroki. Just as Iida was about to throw him out of bounds, Todoroki froze over his muffler and then engulfed his entire body in ice. Todoroki would be advancing into the finales.
Moving from the back, I made my way to the front. The rest of my class immediately taking notice of my presence.
"Aiya! You're okay!", Ochaco yelled as she pulled me into a tight embrace.
I patted her back and pulled away, "Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing too worry about."
Izuku stood next to us, "What happened to you? I've never seen you do that before-"
"Now THAT was the scariest thing I've ever seen!", Mineta screamed.
Asui hit him with her tongue, "Do you ever stop talking?"
"He's right though, that was pretty intense.", Sero said.
I sighed as I face the rest of my class. All of them gave me mixed looks of uneasiness and slight fear. I rubbed the back of my neck as I addressed them, "It's actually not as bad as it looks, I guess. There is a mental part of my quirk I've never utilized until now, and it was just really overbearing. I lost control of it."
"A mental part...", Izuku mumbled.
"Yeah, it probably has something to do with the telekinesis quirk my grandmother has.", I informed as I sat down.
"You've had telekinetic powers this entire time?!", Izuku yelled, pulling out his notebook.
I shrugged, "In a way, I guess. I'm not too sure it's full range yet."
"That's amazing!", Izuku yelled as he scribbled in his hero notebook about it. I sighed and ruffled his hair in response. This kid and his note taking.
"And now, Bakugo versus Tokoyami!", Present Mic boomed, bringing as all back tot he tournament.
We watched as Katsuki continued to plow and explode into Dark Shadow relentlessly. Tokoyami attempted to fight back, but Katsuki used a blinding explosion to get the edge over him. When it cleared it revealed Katsuki gripping Tokoyami's beak, emitting explosions from his other hand to keep down Dark Shadow. Tokoyami quickly forfeited, Katsuki taking the win and moving onto the finals to duke it out with Todoroki.
When Katsuki released him, he turned towards our seating area. It felt like he was looking directly at me, and I felt the tips of my ears heat. Was he so ruthless towards Tokoyami because I lost to him? There's no way, Katsuki has been planning to win the entire time- he wouldn't just dedicate a match to me out of no where. His eyes shifted to a new person, and turning to look I realized it was Todoroki.
I had to stop myself from trying to see either of them before their fight. I had yet to see Katsuki since before my match, and even though he would never admit it, but I knew I was on his mind. He could see that I was fine from the battle grounds, but he had no clue what happened during my match. Not being able to give him a peace of mind was stressful, but I didn't want him to waste time on me when he needed to focus on his match. For Todoroki, I just felt the need to speak to him about what his father said to me. Obviously he had no idea and wasn't involved, but I wanted him to be aware that it could happen again with other people. That would have to wait too, he didn't deserve that load right before a match against Katsuki.
A tap on my shoulder brought me out of my thoughts, and I turned to see Tokoyami. I quickly stood and turned to fully face him.
"Miyake-", he began.
"Tokoyami, I'm so sorry.", I bowed my head quickly, "That was extremely dangerous of me, and I'm sorry to have pulled you into it."
He waved away my apology, "There is nothing to apologize for.", I picked my head up, "I had actually wanted to apologize to you."
My eyes widened in surprise, "To me? What for?"
"From my understanding, if Aizawa-sensei hadn't nullified your quirk you would have won our match.", he explained, "Given another moment and I would have forfeit the match, but before I could you had already done it."
I shrugged, "That doesn't really matter, I don't think I would have been allowed to continue fighting anyway.", I smiled at him, "Thank you for coming to me though, it's nice to know I really did almost win."
He gave me a simple nod to say 'no problem', and then took his seat behind me.
Soon enough, the final battle was underway. Todoroki immediately formed another massive ice glacier that filled a portion of the stadium. Seconds later, muffled explosions were heard before Katsuki burst out from within. He advanced at Todoroki, and sent him spiraling towards the boundary and barely caught himself by forming a wave of ice for him to ride on. Katsuki charged at him again, and was grabbed by Todoroki's left side- his flames, but he measly just threw him instead. Obviously this angered Katsuki, who wanted the same treatment from Todoroki that Izuku has received. Katsuki railed right into him, calling him out on not utilizing all of his strength.
It seemed as if Todoroki was about to give up, until Izuku shouted his encouragement to him to keep going. Suddenly the frost on Todoroki's body melted off, and flames sprouted from his left side. Katsuki used his explosions to create a tunnel of force hurdling towards Todoroki. Just as they were going to collide, his flames died out. Katsuki's super move burst and broke apart the ice glacier behind Todoroki. When the smoke cleared, it showed Todoroki was laying limp and out of bounds. Katsuki wasted no time in approaching him, and demanding that he continued to fight so he could earn his indisputable win. Midnight was forced to use his quirk to put Katsuki to sleep. He was declared the winner of the festival.
A short time later we were all gathered onto the field as the medal ceremony took place. Tokoyami was third, Todoroki was second, and Katsuki places first. When the winners arose from the ground on their podiums, we watched as Katsuki thrashed against a muzzle and chains. How fucking embarrassing.
"He's been going nuts ever since he woke up. Man, Bakugo... pull yourself together.", Eijiro spoke next to me.
I sighed and crossed my arms, "He can be such an idiot sometimes."
"Tenya Iida actually shares the third place award with Tokoyami. But, unfortunately, he had to leave for family reasons. Gotta love those familiar bonds...", Midnight weirdly announced.
"Too bad Iida couldn't be here, he was so excited.", Asui said.
I wasn't quite sure exactly why Iida wasn't here, but I knew it was some sort of family emergency. Earlier he had pulled Izuku and Ochaco aside while I was speaking with Tokoyami.
"Now let's break out the hardware!", Midnight continued,"There's only one person worthy of distributing the awards-"
All Might's bounding laugh engulfed the stadium as he propelled down into the arena. He first awarded Tokoyami, then Todoroki, and lastly a still raging Katsuki. He took the time to speak and embrace each of them. For Katsuki, he removed his muzzle, which just gave him the opportunity to scream in his face. He ended up just shoving the medal in Katsuki's mouth. All Might then attempted lead the crowd in a chant, where we all assumed he would say 'Plus Ultra!', but he really wanted to recognize our good work.
Once the festival was wrapped up, we went back into our school uniforms and met in the classroom. The mummified Aizawa had given a word of praise and gave us a quick briefing of the recruitment by pros we will be going through once we return from our days off from school. I couldn't help but wonder if I would be staying with Aizawa and training or possibly being the shadow of a different pro in a completely different setting. That was only if any of them were interested in me, which I was no longer entirely sure of due to my display of lack of control over my quirk. I wasn't exactly the best candidate for internships and I had to be aware.
Training with Aizawa probably wouldn't be all that bad. Despite knowing him and having an idea of his teaching style, I knew no matter what I would be improving under his guidance. I couldn't really count my Baba out either, I had no idea what my training with her would entail but I've seen reports and pictures of her in action. The mastery and usage she had over her quirk in her prime hero days easily made me jealous, especially now that I knew the true difficulties of keeping this specific power under control.
When I arrived home from school, my family was ecstatic to see me after seeing me 'in action' for the first time. There was never really any reason for them to be involved with any type of training I was involved in, it wasn't to hide it from them- they just wouldn't understand what I was doing. Knowing that they thought I was the 'real deal' was pretty gratifying despite them being clueless as to what that actually meant. It was also satisfying to put Kosuke in his place, he demanded him and I wrestle and when I had him pinned and held down in under ten seconds he quickly understood that my strength was no joke. The night was filled with playful teasing and laughter by all, until we gathered in the living room to watch television.
That was when I learned about what happened to Ingenium, Iida's brother. He was violently attacked by the Hero Killer in Hosu City while on duty, and would no longer be able to continue hero work. To know Iida's own personal hero could no longer work was...something I couldn't even wrap my head around. Losing Kosuke would be absolutely devastating for me, and currently that was his reality. All I could do was hope that Iida would persevere and be there if he needed me.
