This morning, Shouta had the idea to stop by Hizashi's dorm room but he heard something unpleasant for children's ears so he made a turn of heel towards where he will meet with Vlad King. Already in the teacher's lounge was Ectoplasm and Cementoss. Cementoss noticed the black haired teacher enter with the three children, "Did something happen with Katrina?"
Shouta cleared his throat, "She's sick. I don't want them to catch it from her."
Cementoss leaned back on his chair talking to Eri, "Would you like to have some sweets, Eri-chan?"
Eri peered around Shouta's legs. She looked up at Shouta and he gently urged her forward, "Go ahead."
Eri's lips went into a small smile, "Please, Mr. Cementoss!"
She bounced on her feet towards the cement humanoid. Ectoplasm asked, "You and Vlad King have the joint training today with the one kid from 1-C, right?"
Shouta nodded, "The two classes do not know Shinso would be joining."
Cementoss moved a chair from beside him to have Eri sit. Cementoss offered, "We can watch the children, if you want."
Shouta glanced down at Youta who was strapped to his front. Julieanne was babbling on his back. Shouta thought for a moment before coming to his decision, "I wouldn't want to put all three of them with you two. Do you mind if you watch Eri only? Yesterday, we found out Julieanne developed her quirk so I would like to keep a close eye on her for repercussions of her usage."
Cementoss was secretly glad the two of them didn't have to watch all three children. Three different personalities would be a handful. He's not sure how Eraserhead or Saving Grace could handle it. He loves children but comparing to teenagers and infants and a small child everything is different.
Ectoplasm asked, "What quirk does she have?"
The father of two answered, "I think it has to do with healing. She doesn't seem to inherit Katrina's sickness so health regeneration might come into play as well. I want to see what exactly she can do since Katrina cannot take away sicknesses. Only wounds and pain."
Cementoss whispered to Eri, "Once Eraserhead leaves, want to go for some manju?"
Eri's eyes sparkled. She quickly glanced at Shouta then looked at Cementoss. She gave a quick nod. Shouta ignored the little interaction as long as Eri would be entertained and taken care of. Vlad King's voice entered the room, "Oh. You have the children today."
Shouta glanced behind him. Julieanne clapped her hands with a squee. Shouta answered, "Katrina is sick."
Vlad King gave a light nod of understanding. He asked breathing through his nose, "Are you ready?"
Shouta nodded, "Give me a second and we'll head over."
Shouta headed to Eri and placed a hand on top of her head. He gave a light pet of her head, "Behave for Cementoss and Ectoplasm. I'll be back later. We can go by the store to get ingredients to make Katrina some soup."
Eri's lips went into a wide smile, "Can we make chicken noodle soup? Miss Katrina made that for me when I was sick!"
A small smile graced Shouta's lips, "Sure."
Eri beamed. Shouta turned towards Vlad King, "Let's go."
Youta held the sippy cup filled with water. They slowly introduced the sippy cups to the twins a few weeks back. Julieanne would rather takes her older brother's sippy cup if she could. Youta would fight for it. There would be times he would win and other times she would. If she won over the sippy cup, he would crawl over to a parent who would readily have on hand a few snack puffs. Vlad King glanced at the twins, "They've grown."
Shouta could see Youta not once putting down his sippy cup from his lips. Shouta shrugged, "Julieanne developed her quirk yesterday. Youta hasn't shown an early signs if any."
Vlad King's grey brows raised, "Her quirk developed already?"
The two adults could hear the shaking of a toy behind Shouta. Shouta shoved his hands in his pockets, "Yes. She seemed to have a different version of Katrina's quirk. A stronger health regeneration with a healing quirk that takes illnesses away. We don't want to try wounds or pain as she isn't even a year old yet but we have a slight idea."
Vlad King's eyes glanced at Youta who isn't drinking anymore but kept the mouth piece of the sippy cup on his lips. Vlad King asked, "What about him?"
Shouta shook his head, "No signs. I would be surprised if he showed early signs as well."
Vlad King wanted to ask but he kept his mouth shut. Not every parent is welcoming to the thought of having a quirkless child. He doubt Katrina and Shouta would be against the thought. Vlad King knew how the couple are towards children, quirkless or not. They accept them. As if Shouta could hear the unspoken thought of Vlad King he piped up, "If Youta becomes quirkless, he wouldn't be any different and we would love him just the same. We would support him in any field he would go for. We won't know till, seeing his sister developed it early, now to the age of four."
Vlad King nodded. Shouta's lips went into a firm line. His capture scarf wrapped itself around Monoma's neck stopping him mid-sentence. Shouta called out to Monoma, "Quiet."
Youta dropped his sippy cup and clapped his hands. A smile was on his tiny lips. The sippy cup landed in between the two teachers. Vlad King announced, "We have a special guest today."
Shouta continued, "Try not to look stupid in front of him."
He kept a grip on Monoma. Each of the students started to murmur among each other. Shinso walked up the steps and picked up Youta's sippy cup. Youta saw the sippy cup in his vision and held out his hands for it. Shinso gave the infant his cup, "You dropped this."
Youta immediately brought the sippy cup to his lips once more. Shouta released the annoying 1-B student and glanced over at Shinso who stood beside him. He spoke to Shinso, "Go ahead and greet everyone."
After all the students picked their lots, Kirishima blurted out his question, "Mr. Aizawa why do you have the twins with you?"
For what feels like the millionth time of explaining, he let out a haggard sigh, "Katrina is sick. Okay now let's start."
The first two teams started out into the field. Shouta and Vlad King tilted their heads towards the footsteps coming up the stairs. Midnight saw Julieanne who squealed happily on seeing the woman. Midnight smiled big heading behind Shouta. She gave a little wave to the infant who tried to grab her hand, "Why hello there, Julieanne. Out here with your papa, huh?"
Julieanne blew a raspberry and clapped her hands, "Papa! Papa!"
Coming to her side, All Might shoved his hands into his pockets. All Might looked at the two infants before looking at their father, "Katrina is busy?"
Vlad King answered for the father of two, "Sick."
Midnight cooed at Julieanne, "Oh no! Mama is sick. You poor babies having to be with your boring papa."
Shouta scolded Midnight, "Hey."
Midnight chuckled, "I'm teasing."
All Might asked, "Is she okay?"
Shouta watched the students fighting on the training course. Shouta answered, "She is resting. Julieanne developed her quirk and took away Katrina's illness. So far, Julieanne is still fine."
All Might rubbed his chin in thought, "So she doesn't have the effects Katrina has after using her quirk."
Shouta shook his head. Ashido overheard the teachers and exclaimed, "What! Julieanne got her quirk?!"
Just like a pack of hungry lions, all the students who was on the platform turned to the class 1-A's homeroom teacher. Shouta took in a deep breath and let it out loudly. This is going to be a long training session.
