In all honesty I almost forgot to post today but at least I remembered! A lot of issues going on right now for me but don't expect any changes in updates. I like writing fanfiction so I'm gonna keep doing it. I'm not good at making up names so unless one of you wants to name the Groundskeeper then his name will keep being the Groundskeeper. Same goes for the nurses and Yuudai's doctor. If you do suggest a name I'll probably use it, no guarantees though. I'll stop talking now, see ya on the 25th.
"Toshinori, after you tell that child everything properly, someone must speak to Art's son." Gran Torino says over the phone.
"Art's son?" All Might asks.
"He might have found out about One for All," Gran Torino sighs.
"Sen-sensei!" All Might exclaims, how could such a big secret be spilled so easily?
"That's not why you need to talk to him, though," Gran Torino shakes his head, "The Chief of Police was worried about him. He looks and acts just much like his father...it might mean…"
"He won't become a villain." All Might says stubbornly, "He's my student and I'll never allow that to happen."
"I know." Gran Torino agrees, "But you must remember that his dad was connected to All for One. With the possibility of villains grouping up, their old friend's son is a great ally. I suggest keeping a close eye on him."
"Alright, sensei." All Might nods.
The rest of Yuudai's week that was supposed to be spent at Gran Torino's place was wasted at the hospital. To say the least, he was a little annoyed.
"I finally get out of the hospital and then as soon as I'm out, I'm back in again." Yuudai whines.
Midoriya giggles, "You just can't stay out of trouble, can you?"
"I mean, I guess it's fine because I got to make three new friends!" Yuudai puts up three fingers and grins, "I'm glad Todoroki-kun wasn't too injured but even if Iida-kun was hurt he seemed to not mind. I didn't expect to meet Shinso-kun but he's nice and he's easy to talk to."
"We're getting out later today, too." Midoriya smiles, "It's already been five days of the start of the internship."
"It sucks that we were held back because of our injuries." Yuudai sits back on his bed.
"You could have gone back to your hospital if you wanted to." Midoriya says while scrolling through the news.
Yuudai shakes his head, "I like being here. It's not too loud...not too quiet."
"The news is still talking about the Hero Killer. The official story is that Endeavor rushed over and took care of him. Our names weren't made public either." Midoriya recites parts of the news.
Yuudai hums, "I still think it's stupid that Endeavor gets to take the credit. But it's whatever works at this point."
"You didn't get into any more trouble, did you?" Midoriya asks.
Yuudai rolls his head on his pillow, "What makes you ask that?"
Midoriya twiddles his thumbs, "It's just that, Aizawa-sensei talked to you and not me or Iida-kun or Todoroki-kun. I was just guessing that because of your dad-"
"The police are concerned that I keep acting like my father," Yuudai admits. "And the hell is wrong with that? My dad was a hero and I'm his kid. I'll admit, I need to think before I act but still," Yuudai growls.
"Maybe they're concerned for your safety." Midoriya suggests, "If the League of Villains really was involved with the Hero Killer then that might put the spotlight on you."
"Midoriya-kun, no matter what you say, it just looks like they're scared I'm going to turn into a villain. I'm not my father. I'm Kojiko Yuudai. I may act like my dad but I'm not him," Yuudai says proudly.
"I know that for sure." Midoriya grins.
Yuudai smiles back.
"It was only for a short time, but thank you for taking care of us!" Midoriya bows to Gran Torino.
"Ah, yeah...thanks." Yuudai bows alongside Midoriya, but not nearly as low.
Gran Torino yawns, "I don't feel like I did anything I need to be thanked for. Your internships ended up the way it did, too."
Midoriya's voice cracks, "No, it was thanks to your instruction in ideas and your continuous sparring with me that I was able to do something even against the Hero Killer."
Gran Torino smacks Midoriya's ankle, "Against a Hero Killer that wasn't serious! Well, it was better than if you tried for a single killer shot at 100% and then ended up missing, I guess I should say. But that arm had stress fractures, didn't it?" Gran Torino points at Midoriya's arm, "At the last minute, you went over the permitted 5% limit. You still strain yourself in your impatience, and when you lose focus, your control wavers."
Yuudai nearly nodded off until he started getting lectured as well. Something about stamina and learning close combat. He wasn't exactly sure. But Yuudai already knew a lot of things he could have done differently in that fight.
"See you around." Gran Torino turns around.
"C-can I ask you o-one last thing?" Midoriya stops him, "I thought it was rude, so I never got a chance to ask...I could never find a good time for it, but…"
Yuudai holds back a laugh as Gran Torino asks him to hurry up.
"Even though you're really strong and even trained All Might, the name 'Gran Torino' is almost u-unknown. Is there a reason for that?"
"Oh, that's because I was never interested in working as a hero."
"What!?" Midoriya exclaims.
"I had a goal in the past that required me to be able to use my Quirk freely. That was the only reason I got my license. It'd be better to hear more about this from Toshi-I mean, All Might. Expect more from him. He should be speaking to both of you."
"All Might…" Midoriya whispers.
"That's all! Be well!" Gran Torino dismisses them.
"Thank you very much! Excuse us!" Midoriya bows again and heads to the station.
"Thanks, Gran Torino." Yuudai tips his head and hurries after Midoriya.
"Kid." Gran Torino stops the two, "Who are you again?"
"Again?!" Midoriya looks back, "Um, well...I'm Midoriya Izuk-"
"That's not it, is it?" Gran Torino stops him.
"Huh…" Midoriya's face blanks then gets clear, "I'm Deku."
"Yuudai." Yuudai smiles.
Gran Torino smiles and heads back inside.
"Midoriya-kun," Yuudai starts, "There's finals coming up for school, right?"
"Yeah, in July. So a few weeks." Midoriya adjusts his leg, they'd already boarded the train.
The plan was for Midoriya to just head home for the weekend and for Yuudai to go back to the hospital for a complete checkup.
"...geh." Yuudai spits.
Midoriya blanks, what the hell does 'geh' mean?
"Kojiko-kun?" Midoriya tries to read Yuudai's disgusted face.
"Ah, sorry, Midoriya-kun. I've just never been one for tests." Yuudai frowns.
"I could help you study, if that's what you're worried about." Midoriya suggests.
"You are helping me study already. I know that so far I've made good progress but I'm not even done with the 8th grade yet. I don't know any of the information that's going to be on that test and I've never been..." Yuudai rests his head in his palm, "I mean...I can absorb information like crazy if I repeat in my head enough times, it's just that tests are hard."
"Like test anxiety?" Midoriya guesses.
"It's not that...it's more like I just don't...I just can't focus on a test."
"Focus?" Midoriya taps his chin, "But you seem fine during battles and stuff."
"That's easy," Yuudai finger guns Midoriya, "When I'm moving around, concentration becomes easier."
"So you just don't like the sit 'still and write' part of tests." Midoriya concludes.
Yuudai snaps twice, "Exactly."
"Maybe you could ask for something to play around with, so you keep moving while taking the test. I could ask people in class because I think Kaminiari-kun and Ashido-kun both have ADD or ADHD so they might have some advice." Midoriya vaguely remembers seeing the two of them at lunch bonding over stim toys.
"I can probably ask myself." Yuudai grins, "I think I might be attending class soon, then."
"Really? But you haven't caught up on academics."
"You said you had a plan, right? Or at least an idea to help me out."
Midoriya nods, "Yeah, I was waiting to tell you until you got a better handle on your Quirk but you seem to be okay with it right now."
"So you'll tell me your idea?"
"I was thinking that maybe we could use your Quirk to help you study." Midoriya grins, "Like you could use your Quirk on yourself and remember what you've learned."
Yuudai thinks about it, "I've never used my Quirk on myself before. I don't even know if it's possible."
"It should be," Midoriya points at Yuudai, "all you need to do is visualize yourself retaining information, and you've done it in the past so what's to say you can't do it now?"
"Midoriya-kun, isn't this like cheating?"
Midoriya shrugs, "I think of it as using your resources."
"So if I use my Quirk to retain information-"
"You should be able to complete the 8th and 9th grades in less than a month."
Yuudai leans back in his seat, "Midoriya-kun that's amazing."
"But we don't really know if it'll work or if there's any bad effects of using your Quirk on yourself. It could be dangerous." Midoriya warns.
Yuudai groans, "Everything in this world is dangerous. This is worth it. We'll try it once. If you or I feel like it's too much then we'll stop that method. If it works, then I won't be held back a year."
"We're trying this with an adult supervising." Midoriya says.
Yuudai huffs, "Fine. I'll ask Eraser Head."
Midoriya perks up, "In that case, we'll try it as soon as possible."
"When's that?"
"Sunday? Give both of us a day off." Midoriya suggests.
"That's fine with me." Yuudai closes his eyes, satisfied.
Midoriya fiddles with his backpack, "Kojiko-kun, where are you going to stay? Like after you're released from the hospital."
Yuudai shrugs, "I don't know. I'm not allowed to go back home because of my mom's condition and I don't exactly have the funds to rent a place. I mean, some of my dad's old hero friends pooled together enough money for me to like buy meals and maybe get a new phone. I don't expect them to have enough for me to live in my own place though."
"Aren't you worried though? You might stay at the hospital for the entire year!" Midoriya sits up, Yuudai was unnervingly calm.
"I've been told that I need to trust people more. For now I'll only trust Eraser Head but I'm just trying to make progress. I'm supposed to be mature but also a kid." Yuudai glances at Midoriya, "I'm trying my best here."
"Kojiko-kun, no one's forcing you to grow up."
"I know. But I want to be a little more mature. I know that I can't handle some stuff and that's frustrating but if I try to take it into my own hands maybe it'll explode."
Midoriya frowns, "Are you okay?"
"For now." Yuudai sighs, "If I don't like it though, I'm out."
Midoriya smiles, that was a little more like Yuudai. Someone who really didn't step down and always did what he believed was right.
"You said you had enough to buy a phone, right? In that case, I could come with you to buy one. Phones have changed a lot in two years." Midoriya grins.
Yuudai frowns, "They haven't changed that much."
"I could ask Todoroki-kun and Iida-kun and Shinso-kun to come with us, we could go to the mall or something." Midoriya thinks of the places that the four of them could go to get a phone.
"Like hanging out with friends?"
"Yeah!"
"Mmm, that sounds fun!" Yuudai wiggles in his seat, "If we're only studying this week then I can probably get permission to go out next week."
"Sounds good, I'll ask Iida-kun and Todoroki-kun at school." Midoriya holds off on texting them because they're probably both busy.
Sunday…
"How'd Aizawa-sensei react after you asked him?" Midoriya asks, closing the door behind him.
Yuudai tilts his head, "He's not with you?"
"He's parking the car, but did he really agree to let you experiment on yourself?" Midoriya pulls up a chair next to Yuudai's bed.
Yuudai smirks, "On the condition that we do this outside and that he's there to use his Quirk. I asked many times before he agreed, though."
Midoriya sweatdropped, how many times could someone ask one question in a day?
Aizawa knocks on the door then slides it open, "The track field is open right now, we'll practice there."
"That's fine." Yuudai gets to his feet.
Midoriya glances at how Yuudai grips his crutch, "Is your leg bothering you?"
Yuudai huffs, "It's just stiff today."
Midoriya frowns but drops the subject.
"I'll repeat myself." Aizawa murmurs, "You are not allowed to hurt yourselves in this experiment. I understand that you want to move forward but this is dangerous and the only reason I agreed is because I know you'd do this behind my back which is more dangerous."
Yuudai smiles, "I'll stop if I feel something is wrong."
"We promise not to be reckless." Midoriya joins in.
Aizawa doesn't seem satisfied at all but doesn't say anything else.
Once they get to the field, Midoriya lays out his old junior high school notebooks and pulls up the lesson files on his phone.
"This should be the rest for the 8th grade." Midoriya sighs, "Please, Kojiko-kun, take this one at a time."
Yuudai nods, sits in front of the papers and snaps his fingers. Visualize yourself. You can learn whatever is here, you can understand it. You can do this. Yuudai picks up the notebook and pulls up the lesson video that he'd left off on.
He keeps his eyes on the page and glances at the video from time to time, "Learn and understand."
It doesn't cause any bad feeling inside him other than the exhaustion and scratchiness in his throat from using his Quirk so he continues reading through the books. Midoriya and Aizawa keep a close eye on his body language. Yuudai eventually focuses so intensely on learning that soon the sun is setting and he has a headache.
Yuudai growls and bites his lip, he wasn't expecting the sudden headache that came after he used his Quirk to understand the last of the lessons for the 8th grade.
"My head is fucking killing me." Yuudai says, squating on the ground.
Midoriya kneels down next to him, "We're stopping here for today."
Aizawa walks up to Yuudai, "I thought you said you'd stop if you were in pain."
"Well, obviously I didn't have a headache until this moment," Yuudai says rudely.
"I'll allow you to continue this method to catch up on school work. You may not use this during class," Aizawa hands Yuudai a water bottle and a painkiller.
"I won't use this, I don't like having headaches," Yuudai drinks the water and swallows whatever medication the teacher had given him.
Midoriya starts packing up all the books, "You managed to finish the eighth grade in a day, though. I'd say that's impressive."
"It's only impressive because I used my Quirk to understand everything in the fraction of the amount of time it would have normally taken me to learn all that," Yuudai groans and rubs his temple, "I'm never doing this again after I catch up. Never."
"Good," Midoriya puts his backpack on, "At this speed you should graduate junior high before the end of the week."
"By the end of the week I'll pass out from having a headache." Yuudai jokes.
"That's why we take breaks." Midoriya points out and helps Yuudai to his feet.
Aizawa sighs, "I'll see you tomorrow, then."
"Are you going to watch over us every time I use my Quirk on myself?" Yuudai asks.
Aizawa doesn't reply because the answer is extremely obvious
"Iida-kun, Todoroki-kun!" Midoriya smiles and walks to Todoroki's desk.
Iida was already talking to Todoroki, probably something about the Hero Killer.
"Morning, Midoriya." Todoroki greets.
"Good morning, Midoriya-kun."
"Listen, Kojiko-kun wants to hang out this weekend, he needed to buy a phone so I suggested that we all go. If you're not busy, that is."
Iida pulls out his phone and checks his calendar, "I don't have anything on Sunday."
"I'm free." Todoroki says.
"Great! I'll tell Kojiko-kun that you two can come!" Midoriya smiles and writes a mental note to himself.
"How are you going to tell him if he doesn't have a phone?" Todoroki asks.
Midoriya nods, "He doesn't have a good phone. I could text him right now but I'm visiting him after school."
"Hmm." Todoroki eyes Midoriya.
"D-do you want to come with me?" Midoriya asks hesitantly.
Iida waves his arms, "Yes! We should all go visit Kojiko-kun."
"We as in just us three, right? Because the rest of the class still doesn't know about him." Todoroki confirms.
"Right. It's a bit of a bus ride there, if that's okay. And we might not have time to talk very much." Midoriya pulls up the route on his phone.
"That's just fine."
"Why won't we be able to talk much?" Iida questions.
"He's trying to catch up to the 10th grade academic wise. Because he missed those two years he was behind and is catching up. His Quirk makes the process faster but gives him a killer headache so we're still taking it slow."
"Should we get him a mel-" Todoroki's suggestion of buying Yuudai fruit was cut off.
"Are you three!" Kaminari exclaims, the class had been talking about the internships.
"Dude, yeah, the Hero Killer!" Sero remembers.
"I was worried for you." Momo sighs.
"So happy you're alive; no hoke, that's the most important thing!" Kirishima smiles and Bakugou holds him and Sero by their collars. Apparently they'd made fun of his gelled hair.
"They say you got rescued by Endeavor! That's the No. 2 Hero for you!"
Todoroki nods, "...Yep. Rescued."
"Yeah." Midoriya agrees.
"I saw it on the news," Ojiro spoke up, "that the Hero Killer was connected to the League of Villains. Imagining someone that scary coming to U.S.J. freaks me out."
"He is scary, but did you see the video, Ojiro?" Kaminari asks.
"Video? You mean of the Hero Killer?"
"Yeah. Seeing that, you can see how he's really single-minded and, like, tenacious. Doesn't it almost make you think he's cool?"
"Kaminari-kun!" Midoriya exclaims quietly.
"Huh?"
"Oh, Ii-sorry!" Kanimari covers his mouth.
"No," Iida looks at his arm, "it's fine. It's true that he was tenacious. I understand how people could think he's cool. But he chose purging as a result of his beliefs. No matter what he thinks, that part is definitely wrong. In order to keep anyone else from turning out like me, I will once again walk on the path to becoming a hero!"
"Now that I think about it…" Ojiro hums, "Didn't the news mention four U.A. students?"
"Four?"
"Yeah," Yaoyorozu confirms, "It says that there were four U.A. students. It might be someone from Class 1-B, though."
"I wonder who it was…" Mineta's eyes twinkle as he stares at the three students, "You three! You know, right? Spill it!"
Midoriya waves his hands, "Mineta-kun, it was a chaotic night and…"
"He asked that his name wasn't revealed." Todoroki concluded, "You can go ahead and ask Class 1-B but he didn't speak to us."
"Hmm," Hagakure thinks about it, "Now that I think about it more, wasn't there also that kid from Class 1-A that the press caught at the Sports Festival? Maybe it was that kid!"
"Maybe." Todoroki states.
"Now, class is almost upon us, so take your seats!" Iida announces, wanting everyone to get away from the topic of the mystery 4th student.
"Hi, Kojiko-kun." Iida greets as he enters the room.
"Kojiko-kun, we brought you apples." Todoroki announces and holds up the bag.
"Kojiko-kun?" Iida looks around the room to find no one.
"He's not here." Todoroki says.
"Strange, Midoriya said that he's in his room at this time." Iida looks over Midoriya's text. "Is it possible that they increased the hours?"
"Are you two Kojiko-kun's friends?" A voice echoes from behind the two students.
Iida and Todoroki turn around to face Yuudai's doctor. He was holding a clipboard and a water bottle along with a little tray of medication.
Iida stands up straight, "Yes."
"If you're looking for him, he's out at the track field with Eraser Head," the doctor points towards the field and grins, "It's nice to know the kid has more than just one friend."
"May I ask how to get to the field?"
The doctor nods, "It's downstairs, go out the back door and pass by the garden. It should be pretty obvious."
"Thanks."
"Where's the other kid? The one that normally visits."
"Midoriya-kun had to talk with a teacher after school, he should be here soon." Iida informs him.
"You might want to text him, last time I looked over at the field it looked like Kojiko-kun was having a hard time." The doctor sighs, "That kid never knows when to stop."
"Is something wrong with Kojiko?" Todoroki speaks up.
The doctor shakes his head, "No, nothing should be wrong. I'm just a bit worried that he's pushing himself a little too hard. It should be fine, though, Eraser Head is supervising him."
"I'll text Midoriya-kun." Todoroki reassures the doctor.
The doctor smiles, "Thanks. I'm going to get going now but just keep an eyes on him for me."
The doctor waves at them and then continues his walk down the hall.
"I guess we should go to the field now." Todoroki says quietly.
When Iida and Todoroki found the field area, Aizawa stopped them before they walked any closer to Yuudai. Who apparently was having a bad day because he was running around the field like crazy. There may have also been a few craters from when Aizawa was too slow to use his Quirk to cancel out Yuudai's rage filled words.
"Aizawa-sensei, is he okay?" Todoroki gestures to Yuudai, who is currently throwing rocks as hard as he can.
Aizawa nods, his hair floating, "He's fine."
"It doesn't look that way."
"He's really just blowing off some steam." Aizawa says calmly.
"How long has he been doing this?"
"About an hour now."
Todoroki tilts his head, "Isn't this damaging hospital property?"
"The groundskeeper gave me permission to tear up the grass on the field because they want to replace it!" Yuudai shouts from across the field.
Iida and Todoroki stare at him then look back at Aizawa.
"How is he even able to hear us?" Iida asks.
Aizawa shrugs, "His mom has a hearing Quirk, maybe he has good hearing because of it."
"What happened to studying?" Todoroki asks Yuudai.
Yuudai waves at him and shouts back, "I got frustrated so I stopped!"
"I thought Midoriya came up with an easier way that's less frustrating?"
"Yeah, but I had a headache that made me frustrated so I stopped!" Yuudai shouts and up turns more grass and dirt.
"If you don't have a headache come back and study!" Aizawa points at the pile of books at his feet.
Yuudai pretends he doesn't hear Aizawa and continues to destroy the field. Aizawa, Iida, and Todoroki watch for a good fifteen minutes as Yuudai goes absolutely crazy. The reasons Aizawa let him get away with this? Well for one, the kid had permission and two, Yuudai probably had a lot of stress to vent out.
"Aizawa-sensei! Iida-kun! Todoroki-kun!" Midoriya was running towards them and waving.
Yuudai must have heard Midoriya's voice because he abandoned his rampage and ran towards Aizawa and the others.
"Midoriya-kun," Yuudai grins, "Where were you?"
Midoriya rubs the back of his head, "All Might wanted to talk to me. What happened here?"
Midoriya surveys the damage done to the field. Yuudai is basically covered in mud and grass and his voice sounds rough but he looked a little more relaxed.
"Just some stress management," Yuudai says casually.
Midoriya glances at the torn up field, "You need a better way to manage stress."
Yuudai shrugs and picks up his water bottle that was holding down the papers.
"How far did you get on your own?" Midoriya picks up the notebooks and papers and starts shuffling through them.
Yuudai drinks the rest of his water before replying, "About halfway through the first term of 9th grade."
"That's not bad," Midoriya sets down the papers, "We can finish the second term by Wednesday and you should be all caught up before Sunday."
Yuudai stretches his arms and sighs, "So what's Iida-kun and Todoroki-kun doing here?"
"I asked them to come in my place. It was a little pointless because I'm here now." Midoriya smiles, "I ran into Shinso-kun when I was coming here and he said he was available. We're all available for Sunday."
"Great, I just need to ask the hospital if I can have the day out."
"Where are you going?" Aizawa questions.
Yuudai looks at him sideways, "I'm just getting a new phone, Eraser Head. You don't need to worry about it."
"Oh! Nice job, kid." A new voice, belonging to a man in his 40's with tanned skin and pale blue hair.
Yuudai smiles at him, "Groundskeeper-san, I hope I didn't mess up your field too much."
The groundskeeper shakes his head, "No, no. This is perfect. You upturned most of the soil which is something I'm not able to do this quickly. Saves me time."
"It was sort of good for me too." Yuudai dusts off his hands, ignoring the strange looks from Midoriya, Todoroki, and Iida.
"I'll ask for your help again. I know the hospital is boring." The groundskeeper smiles and then walks off, kicking pebbles off the sidewalk and into the bushes.
Aizawa looks at Yuudai suspiciously, "How do you know the groundskeeper so well?"
Yuudai shrugs as nonchalantly as possible, "I walk around the garden sometimes. He talks to the plants a lot so I watched him because I thought it was interesting."
"Right." Aizawa says, totally not convinced.
"It's true! I wanted to know what plants thought and he told me." Yuudai argues.
"Sorry, Kojiko-kun, but you've never been one to start a conversation." Midoriya points out.
"I start conversations."
Iida shakes his head, "Actually you only start talking to someone after you feel like you and the other party are comfortable with each other."
"And you know this how?" Yuudai asks.
"Because you didn't talk to us until Midoriya started talking to us." Todoroki says.
Yuudai doesn't have an argument for that one.
"Kojiko-kun?" Midoriya tilts his head as they walk so Yuudai will look him in the eyes, "How often do you go to the garden?"
"Every so often," Yuudai avoids Midoriya's eyes, "And by that I mean about three times a week."
Midoriya smiles, "What do you do when you're in the garden?"
Yuudai sweats a little, he'd never exactly been the best liar in the world. Sure, he's tried to get away with a few things but most of the time there was no need to lie because he'd get caught right away. Yuudai mostly thought about how to make the punishment weaker after getting caught.
"Just walked around. I can't just sit in a hospital bed all day."
Midoriya hums then moves on, "Well, I should probably get going. My mom is making katsudon for dinner."
"Didn't you have katsudon for lunch?" Todoroki asks.
"It's different when my mom makes it."
"I really hate the food here." Yuudai sighs, "Lunch Rush's cooking must be super tasty."
"Is the food here bad or something?"
Yuudai shakes his head, "It's not that it's bad. It's just that it has no texture or flavor."
"Isn't that kind of dumb?" Todoroki asks, "After all, food is part of recovery for patients and if the patients don't eat it."
"I just think that the chef sucks." Yuudai huffs.
"At school there's pretty decent food."
"That's because you have the hero Lunch Rush cooking for you!" Yuudai exclaims, "That's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to next week, decent meals."
"You're coming to class next week?"
"It is good, isn't it?" Midoriya smiles.
"I still don't understand how you can eat katsudon five days a week." Todoroki mumbles.
Midoriya looks offended, "You eat soba five days a week too!"
"Soba is good." Todoroki says with a straight face.
"So is katsudon."
"I prefer beef stew." Iida states.
Yuudai smiles, "I think I'll enjoy school."
