*Midoriya's P.O.V*
*Tap Tap Tap*
Huh? What the hell was that?
I sat up and looked towards the source of the sound, which was the window. There was nothing there, only the blackness of the starless night. Maybe I'm hearing things? Chisaki did land a few hits on my head. Still might as well check in case we aren't gonna get robbed or murdered by a villain.
After rubbing the tiredness from my eyes, I got out of bed and headed towards the window. After opening the blinds, I saw nothing. Just a plate of cheese.
...
Wait, cheese?!
"I know?" I said outloud... wait, do they know about the truth of One for All? No, it can't be, I made sure to tell absolutely no one who doesn't know about it already. It's probably over something else entirely. Still... there's the problem over the cheese on the balcony.
Now I remember my mother telling me never to take cheese that happened to be on my windowsill. But it'd be a waste to leave it out there, so I opened the window and brought it inside, I finally made use of my mini fridge, aside from a few water bottles I stored in there. Well whomever gave me the cheese, I assume it's Aoyama, thank you, I now have a mini snack for tomorrow's lunch. Once that was over I headed back to bed and went back to sleep.
*The next day*
I made it to class with a plastic tub full of chilled cheese, and with about 10 minutes before first period. I looked around to find... ah there he is.
"Yo, Aoyama." I said as I walked over to him.
"Ahh, Midoriya. To what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked in his french accent.
"Did you... climb onto my balcony, and leave me cheese?" I asked.
"Why yes." He said.
"Well to that I say... it is delicious!" I exclaimed as I took out another cheese to eat it, "Seriously what kind of cheese is this?"
His eyes lit up, "Oh, that's a mixture of brie." He said pointing to the slightly paler cheese, "And camambert cheese." He said pointing to the more vibrant yellow cheese.
"Well they're both f**king delicious." I said as I finished another rectangle of brie, then I remembered what the message was, "Oh that reminds me, wha-"
"Class in your seats!" Midnight yelled.
Oh well... I'll ask him later.
Well later took a long time to come. After Midnight's class we were taken to TDL to create our two Ultimate Moves in case you haven't yet, or train to master your ultimate moves. Kirishima used his new move 'Unbreakable' and asked Bakugou and Satou to help him withstand constant abuse. He asked me to join in... but I needed to iron out the kinks for my newest support item Melissa made me. Then Aoyama yelled at me to look at his direction.
He fired a beam through a stone rectangle, I'd say about 6 feet in length, which was impressive. Then he unleased one of his ultimate moves, which he doved 'Navel Laser Buffet', which shot beam blasts from not only his stomach but also both of his shoulders. Then he shot a smaller but concentrated beam into the slab. Then he collapsed onto the floor gripping his stomach.
"Doing this... makes my stomach ache very quickly." He groaned.
"Then why did you do it? You idiot?!" I asked as I rushed over to place one of his arms over my shoulder, "Hey, Cementoss, Aoyama put himself out of commission, can he rest for a few?" I asked.
"All good." Cementoss said.
I moved Aoyama away from the explosions and Quirks. Once we were pretty much alone I asked the million dollar question.
"So Aoyama, why did you say in your cheese platter, 'I know'?" I asked.
"Your Quirk doesn't suit your body." He said.
... Oh thank god it wasn't about him knowing about One for All.
"You and I are the same..." He muttered.
"The same? How?" I asked.
"I-I've constantly had a support belt since I was a kid. If I didn't sometimes my navel laser would leak out. I was born with it. So my body and my Quirk wasn't compatible." He explained, "That's what the doctor told me. When you joined the school, you couldn't control your second Quirk at all right? I thought you and I were one in the same. Since the internship and even before then, I could see you were growing impatient."
I didn't know how to respond... so I just said whatever my mind thought was appropriate, "Aoyama, you're right. My Quirk and my body aren't compatible at all." I said, "However, compatibility grows with use. Like my second Quirk, the more I used it, the more my body got used to it." I explained, "So much so that I began using my fire breathing Quirk with conjuction with my Stockpile Quirk." I explained, "So by your logic, the same can be applied to you." I said before tapping his forehead, "We are one in the same in terms of our Quirks and our bodies, that much is true. But there is a difference between those who accept that as the absolute, or give that hinderance a big middle finger and break through it." I said.
He stayed silent... before nodding, "I see, so I should use my Quirk to build an immunity to it?" He asked.
"In laymans terms, yeah. You've been showing a f**k ton of improvement with your moves. Especially since your laser can pierce through 6 feet of concrete and still keep going. Your Quirk is powerful that's for absolute sure." I said, "But what good is it if you get KO'ed after 3 uses." I said as I stood him up straight, "So keep honing your Quirk, and give that hinderance a big middle finger." I said giving him a pat on the back.
Aoyama stared at me for a few seconds... before laughing, "This is funny." He commented, "I was planning to encourage you, but you in turn, encouraged me. Thank you, Midoriya." He said.
"Don't worry about i-" I said until... a wavy laser spewed out of his stomach. "W-What happened?!" I asked concerned.
"I-It came out..." He muttered.
"Yeah... until you give that hinderance a middle finger, you should go at it slowly, you still have two years." I said as I headed back to train.
I saw Kirishima taking the front of Bakugou and Sato's attacks, then I heard a chipper voice in the background.
"Hey, Izuku!" I turned to see... Melissa?
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I came..." She said as she pulled out a notepad, "To conduct notes to see where I can improve on your braces." She said as she pulled out a pen, "Did you do anything with them yet?" She asked.
"No... but I was about to do something kinda stupid... but just stupid enough to work." I said.
"Really? What?" She asked as she prepared her pen.
"Scoot back." I said as I activated the braces, "I'll show ya." I said as I looked at Kirishima, Bakugou, and Satou, "Hey Bakugou and Satou!" I yelled which made them stop and turn towards me, "Can you guys back off for a second... I wanna give Melissa a demonstration of my new technique."
Bakugou sent me a glare... before both he and Satou backed off, "Fine, show us your f**king move." He growled, but curious.
"Alright." I said as I pulled down my bandana, and blew fire onto my arms. After a few seconds, they began to glow yellowish white, like my Diable Jambe... it should be named as such. "Alright, Kirishima ready?" I asked.
He rebraced himself, "Ready!" He yelled.
"Alright... Diable Bras!" I yelled as I rushed towards him, "Star Punch!" I yelled as I uppercutted him square in the jaw. He was knocked into a pillar then fell onto the ground.
(A/N: Fun fact, Bras is french for arms, which fits for Diable Jambe, which is french for Devil Leg.)
He started to roll around gripping his jaw, "Hot! HOT!" He yelled.
"Sorry!" I exclaimed as my arms' heat eventually died down, "I should have toned down the heat."
"That was so cool!" She exclaimed as she wrote it down, "Now, did your prosthetic arms feel any of that heat?" She asked.
"... Actually no." I answered, "I didn't feel any of the heat at all."
"Excellent. That part of it works." She said, "Hmm... but we need something powerful to test out the durability." She said.
"Well, All Might is retired now... so there is pretty much nobody out there that can punch as hard as him naturally." I said, "But we should test it none the less." I said before turning to Satou, "Hey Satou, can you punch my arms as hard as you can?" I asked.
"W-Why?" He asked, probably a bit worried about my arms.
"Don't worry, my arms have cooled down, and it's a durability test." I said as I blocked my face with my arms, "So don't hold back, for science." I said.
He looked concerned... but did it anyway. He rushed towards me and punched my arms with full force... and I... felt nothing.
"Awesome." She said writing it down, "They don't appear to be dented or in any way damanged." She said.
"Cool, thanks Satou." I said as he left, "So anything else you need to take notes on?" I asked.
"Hmm..." She muttered as she looked over her notes, "No. So far the braces are working like a charm... but maybe I could add some things to it." She pondered as she started heading towards the door, "I'll go see Hatsume to see what she thinks. See ya later." She said before leaving.
"See ya." I said before looking at my arms. In all honesty I was surprised how fast I heated my arms. Maybe my constant use of my fire made it hotter over time. If so... then that'll make using Diable Jambe and Diable Bras easier and quicker.
After that training session, classes were soon over. After that pep talk, Aoyama and I good friends, he would come to me for training, and I would come to him for amazing french cuisine!
Then the next day was... as close to a school event as this school will ever get. The Cultural Festival is here. Mr. Aizawa tasked us with coming up with what the class will be doing. As to be expected... there was a bunch of exceedingly different ideas thrown around. Many of them were shot down or combined into one simple event. Before we could come to a decision class ended, and Mr. Aizawa said to make a decision by tomorrow of there will be a public lecture.
After school, Asui, Uraraka, Kirishima, Tokoyami, and I were taken to supplementary classes. Mr. Aizawa told us... well mainly me, that Eri wanted to see me and Togata.
"Great, when can we go?" I asked.
Mr. Aizawa glanced at the clock, "In 10 minutes." He said.
"... That sounds like something... oh I don't know. SOMETHING YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME EARLIER!" I yelled, which caused everyone to scoot away in pain.
"Jeez Midoriya..." Uraraka commented picking her ear, "You sound like Present Mic."
"Why are you so worked up over?" Kirishima asked.
"... Are you stupid? Or are you stupid?" I asked, "She just came from the worst hell anyone has ever gone through. Now she just woke up, what if I said something wrong or stupid and shedoesn'tlikeanythingIsayoranythingIdo!"
"Midoriya!" Asui yelled slapping me across the face with her tongue, "Calm down! You're mumbling, ribbit." She said.
... I thought I buried that habit.
"Don't worry, you're blowing this way out of proportion." Mr. Aizawa said, "Besides, Togata will be there, odds are he'll say something... bizarre before you."
... Fair enough actually.
Mr. Aizawa, Togata, and I headed to the hospital where Eri was held. Togata brought her a fruit basket filled with a various assortment of fruits.
"We're sorry we couldn't see you earlier." I apologized.
"It's an assortment of fruits! If you like them, then eat them up!" Togata exclaimed handing Eri the basket, "Do you have a favorite fruit? Can I guess? It's peaches, isn't it?! You're kinda peachy, after all!"
"It's apples." She said matter of factly.
"JUST LIKE I THOUGHT!" Togata yelled.
Well, with Togata here... and she isn't freaked out yet, then I have nothing to worry about. We cut the apple into slices and set them on a plate. While Eri was eating them, she began to talk.
"This whole time, even when I had a fever, I-I was thinking that, even when being s-saved... I didn't know your name." She said.
Oh right... I never said my name, at all.
"I only knew Lemillion, And I wanted to know." She said.
"W-Well, my name is Izuku Midoriya." I said.
"I-Izu..." She stuttered.
"You can call me... 'Zuku." I said.
"Lemillion, Zuku, and... the man with glasses... everyone... got really hurt, all because of me..." She said looking down. We will NOT tell her about Nighteye... at least not right now, when she's older we will. "I'm sorry you all... had to experience such painful things because of me." She said as tears started forming on her eyes, "It-It's because of me that Lemillion, that you lost his powers..."
"Eri!" Togata yelled before placing a hand gently on her head, "Nobody thinks you caused them painful things. Everyone's thinking something more like this! 'It's great Eri is safe'! It's no use apologizing to people that aren't there! Let's take it easy. Everyone fought because they wanted to see your smiling face." Togata said.
Then Eri, did something with her face... she looked like she was straining herself, "I'm sorry... how do you smile again?"
...
That's when it hit me. We may have saved her from Chisaki... but she wasn't saved at all from what he's done to her.
"Wait!" I exclaimed as Togata, Eri, and Mr. Aizawa looked at me, "Mr. Aizawa, I have a brilliant idea, can we take Eri somewhere?" I asked.
"It's probably not impossible, however... How should I put it? Where she'll be transferred to?" Mr. Aizawa asked.
"We should take her there." I said, then Mr. Aizawa looked at me with realization.
"I see..." He muttered.
"To the cultral festival, can Eri come too?" I asked.
Then Togata's face looks like a lightbulb lit up then exploded.
"Cultral Festival?" Eri asked, which got a shocked expression from Togata.
He began to explain what the cultural festival is, and what really peaked her interest, was 'Candy Apples'. Mr. Aizawa said that he would ask Principal Nezu if it's okay, now all that's left is to make Eri learn how to smile again. Mark my words... I will make her smile.
The next day, after supplementary classes were over for us, we headed back to see what we decided on. We... well more so they, decided on a concert as a 'Stress Relief' for the other classes.
"That's... the stupidest idea I've ever heard in my life." I commented.
"We already heard the spiel from Bakugou." Jirou replied.
"Great, then you already know how stupid of an idea that is." I said, "I don't give a flying f**k about the emotions and the stress of the other courses. If they're trying to become heroes, then they should sack up and deal with their problems themselves."
"B-But."
"Selling it for stress relief gives us nothing but the sense of self gratification. Which is f**king stupid." I said, which silenced everyone, "I'm not doing this to help the departments, they could suck a railroad spike for all I care. I'm doing this for the satisfaction of being the best part of the festival, and helping someone who forgot how to smile, relearn how to smile from our preformance."
"... So what you're saying is that you're in." Tooru said.
"... Well if you want to ignore my speech, then yes." I answered.
"Awesome!" She exclaimed, as I sighed... why do I even bother.
After my speech was practically ignored, it took till 1 in the morning until our roles have been assigned. Bakugou, Jirou, Yaoyorozu, Kaminari, and Tokoyami are the band. Koda, Todoroki, Sero, and Kirishima are stage hands. Everyone else is the dancing core. Aoyama is a mix of dancer and disco ball... yeah that doesn't sound safe at all.
The next day All Might called me for a impromptu meeting. The purpose was to have an update as to how I was doing. I told him that I been using One for All at 5%, but that seemed to have put him off a bit.
"So you never tried to go past that?" All Might asked.
"We-"
... Why didn't I think of that? The furthest I've gone was 20% because I was desperate, and 100% when I had Eri, but I haven't tried going beyond the 5% limiter I set for myself.
"Hmm... well, let's try it out." He said standing up, "Come with me, we're having a training session." He said.
We headed towards the forest close to U.A. Once we were there, he told me to first go beyond 5%, percent by percent to figure out if I had gone beyond my limit. It turns out I can now go up to 8% without feeling any sign of pain, so that's good. After that he told me to now try out 20% Full Cowling. I surged 20% of One for All through my body... the power was intense and I could feel my bones and my body grate against itself... but I pushed through All Might told me to attack while standing in my same position, I did as such then a strong gust of wind blew from the force of my kick.
I could have always done this the moment I have gone beyond using 15% of One for All's power, according to All Might. While that was all fine and dandy, I couldn't use it for long without hurting my body.
"Now look back at your journey with One for All." All Might said.
"Okay; 1.) Use One for All at 100% and break my body, 2.) Learn to control percentage at certain parts of my body during the Quirk test, 3.) Control percentage throughout body regularl a.k.a Full Cowling, 4.) Learn Shoot Style after the Stain fight, 5.) learn that I could go up to 8%... which was right now, 6.) Learn that I could go to 20% when I absolutely needed to... which was also learned right now." I said...Then that's where it hit me. "You didn't always use 100% of your power." I muttered.
"Yes, exactly that." All Might confirmed.
So if I could... use 8% during the duration of the battle... then at the moment of impact use 20%. "I can combine 2 and 6." I said.
"Simply saying it is easy. In order to draw out an amount close to your limit, you'll need significantly more nuianced control... but if you could?" He said.
"Then I could have another long range attack that isn't just my fire." I answered, as I flexed my fingers, "The body's most fragile points... I'll have to practice with them." I muttered, though I could 100% of One for All's power thanks to Melissa's braces, that kind of power with this kind of attack, will destroy everything I'm trying to protect. Besides... using 100% One for All Full Cowling will be fine with my arms... using it with my whole body will probably destroy it in a matter of seconds. Before you ask... no I have no plans of ditching the braces, and I probably never will, even if I could use 100% of One for All without reprocussion eventually... it's a sign of respect that I keep using it.
"Yes." He said as he glanced at his watch, "For now, let's call it quits, we'll continue tomorrow." He said.
I nodded and headed back to the dorms, thankfully Koda and Uraraka was there to watch Blair... I haven't been spending much time with her. I should tomorrow, there isn't school tomorrow due to it Saturday. So I entered my room, and after being greeted by an excited Blair, I petted her head before going to sleep.
The next day was practice for everyone. The dance group was outside while the band group was inside playing. We danced for a while, a long while. Then we were allowed to take a 5 minute break. I heard the bush rustle... and I saw Togata hiding behind it.
"What are you do-" I said before I saw long white hair walk past the bush.
"Wait is that..." Uraraka and Asui asked, as Eri walked out into view.
As everyone walked over to Eri, Togata asked if I could like to join him and Eri on a walk, and me wanting to take any opportunity to leave dance practice jumped on that opportunity.
"Yeah, let me just grab Blair, I'll be right back." I said as I rushed into the dorms. I grabbed Blair's leash, and my tub of cheese... it's too delicious to leave behind. Then I picked up Blair from Kouda, it was for the sake of us not accidentally trampling her during our dance practice.
"Alright ready." I said as I held Blair close. Eri watched her carefully, "What's wrong Eri? It's justa puppy." I said.
She went from careful to curious, "Puppy?"
Oh this is going to be harder than I thought... "Yeah, a puppy. Or a baby dog, come over here." I said gesturing her over.
She looked timid... but came over anyway, "Good, now stick out your hand." I said, as she hesitantly held out her hand. Blair sniffed it a few times... before her tail started to wag and she licked her hand.
"Ahh!" She squeaked retracting her hand, "I-It licked me..."
I laughed, "Blair's a her, and yes she licked you, that's her form of a kiss." I explained as I pointed to her wagging tail, "And see how her tail is wagging, it shows that she's happy."
Eri's eyes widened as if she made the discovery of the century, I smiled and handed her the leash, "Wanna walk her?" I asked.
She nodded eagerly and took the leash, seems she is interested in learning more about dogs by the seconds. Which means now is a good time to be a smart ass.
"See Mr. Aizawa, dogs makes everyone happier." I commented.
The air tensed up as Mr. Aizawa shot me a glare, "Are we really going to do this?" He asked.
I laughed, "Depends, do you want to lose that age old debate?" I asked as he shot his scarf around my mouth.
"One more word out of you... and it's strike two." He muttered as he let me go.
"...Fine." I muttered.
Togata, Blair, Eri, and I headed into U.A, after showing Eri around the school itself, we took her into the bustling common area, where everyone is setting up for the Cultral Festival.
We ran into Class 1-B, who is apparently doing a play.
"Class 1-B's completely original super special fantasy play! Romeo and Juliet, the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Return of Kings." Tetsutetus explained.
I took a deep breath, "Okay... so you chose the WORST of the Shakespearean plays about two horney teenagers who killed themselves for a completely stupid reason. But you chose the best of the Harry Potter books, and the best of the Lord of the Rings trilogy... so 66%." I said.
"Hey! Who do you thi- Wait who is this?" He asked looking at a cowering Eri.
"It's okay Eri, he's just... loud. Like Kirishima." I said as she slowly walked out from behind my leg, "She's shy." I said.
"Ooh... okay." He said before extending his hand, "The name is Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu." He said.
She raised an eyebrow, "Why is his first name his last name?" She asked, which visibly made him uncomfortable.
"You know what... I've been wondering the same thing." Awasae said, as literally everyone from Class 1-B crowded around him... guess that's one way for us to slip away.
"Well... let's go see Nejire, she's currently practicing for Miss Con." Togata said.
"Miss... Con?" I asked.
Togata explained it while we were walking... apparently it's a beauty paegent... cool? I think? Anyway we entered the room and we saw Hadou, with a... rather revealing dress, floating in the air.
Hadou hovered towards us, and slowly landed. We explained to her why she's here. "I see... awesome! Well I hope you can watch me." She said, "But I never won this contest... but this year will be different!" She explained getting herself pumped up.
"You lost? To who?" I asked as she pulled out her phone.
"Her..." She said as she showed me a picture, "Her name is Zaki Bibimi."
She showed me a woman... with gigantic eyelashes.
"Okay... I mean this in the most honest way... how the f- heck, did she win?" I asked, catching the swear for Eri.
"It's complicated..." Hadou muttered... huh, normally she'd be all happy and excited when something complicated comes up, best not push if it makes her uncomfortable. "Anyway! I'm going to win this time, because it's my last chance to ever win!" She exclaimed as she walked back to Amajiki and co to continue practicing.
Next is the Support Department, and everyone from every grade is working on stuff. Apparently every year gets together to hold a massive technology exhibition.
"Yes! And it's my baby's time to shine!" A voice I know all too well, sang behind me.
"Hey Hatsume." I greeted.
"This year I'm pulling out all the stops." She said, as someone with a welding mask walked up next to her. The person pulled off the mask revealing Melissa.
"Yup, especially since she has me to help her." Melissa said.
"Oh Melissa, hey how are you?" I asked.
"Good good... just ironing out the kink for Hatsume and I's mech suit." Melissa explained.
"Yup... it's Baby #202." She said with her trademark enthusiasm.
"We played a game of rock paper scissors to see who got to name it... I lost." Melissa admitted, then looked down at Eri, "So who is this?" Melissa asked.
I felt something tug at my jeans... Eri again. "Don't worry Eri... this one especially won't do anything bad... she is my cousin after all." I said.
"You're family with Melissa Shield?!" Hatsume asked with high volume.
"W-Well... technically." I said, "It's a long story... one that I will summarize in a question." I said before turning towards Melissa, "How's mom doing?"
"Oh, she's doing very well, and All Might is helping her out, but she does go on and on about how she misses you." Melissa said.
... I should visit her sometime... the minute I get any free time.
"Wait... All Might? Okay, start from the beginning." Hatsume said.
"Okay, All Might was my ball 'n chain for a while now. My mother was in a mental hospital... and my dad is somewhere in the world. Knowing my options were live with All Might or take my chances with a foster home. So I lived with All Might for a while, then I met Melissa, who calls All Might her uncle since her dad and All Might go way back." I explained.
"Okay... but how does that make you and Shield cousins?" Hatsume asked.
"W-Well... All Might is... the closest thing I had to a dad." I admitted... before any other questions and comments arose, I pushed Eri and Togata towards the door, "A-Anyway we gotta go! See ya Melissa, see ya Hatsume!" I exclaimed before we rushed out the door, "Phew..."
"Zuku... will we see that girl again?" Eri asked.
"Who? Melissa? Sure, she can visit the dorms whenever." I said, "Why?" I asked.
"... I dunno." She said with a face that can only be described as puzzled.
"Well I can call her up and ask if she wants to hang out if you want." I offered.
Her eyes lit up for a second, "O-Okay." She said.
I smiled as we headed towards Lunch Rush's Cafeteria. We sat at an empty table as Eri kept drinking her juice, while I pulled out my cheese. No sense letting this go to waste.
"So what do you think?" Togata asked, "Will all of this be okay?"
"I don't really know..." She muttered, I'd be lying if I said I didn't see that response coming, "But... so many different people, all trying their hardest... I want to know how it will all turn out." She said.
... Good, we're making progress.
"We call that feeling, 'Excitement'." A voice said a few feet across the table from us. Out of shock and surprise we turned to see Midnight and Principal Nezu eating lunch together.
"I am also excited for the cultral festiva- Midoriya... what is that?" He asked rushing next to me. I looked down at the tub of cheese I brought with me.
"Oh, this is Brie, and this is Camembert cheese." I said pushing the tub towards him, "Want some?" I asked.
He looked hesitant for a second... before taking the whole tub. Before I could say anything, the contents were gone in a flash.
"H-He just swiped my cheese." I muttered.
"Mmm..." He muttered as he wiped his mouth, "Those were delicious pieces of cheese Midoriya, I expect more in the future." He said before hopping off of his chair.
"A-Ask Aoyama, it was his cheese!" I exclaimed... but he left not hearing my statement. I stared at my tub dejectedly, "M-My cheese..."
After my episode of cheese deprival is over, Midnight began to explain the security measures the school employed. Like how if there is any sign of a villain attack, the alarms will blare and the school will evacuate and suspend all activities. There was also Hound Dog patrolling the grounds.
"Oh, Yes! Talks of Class 1-A's program has even made it to the staff room. Work hard young ones!" Midnight said with a wink.
"Of course." I said as Togata turned towards me.
"What will you be doing Midoriya?" He asked.
"Oh, a dance party with live music. I will be dancing too." I said before turning towards Eri, "So you can have a good time, Eri. So you should come see." I said before glancing at the clock, "W-Well... break is almost over, so I have to leave now to practice." I said as I took Blair's leash, "See you all later."
"Zuku... you're leaving already?" Eri asked, I knealt down to her height.
"Yeah... I have to practice... my show is going to blow you away!" I exclaimed with a proud smile.
"After Midoriya's show, we three can all wander around together." Togata said.
"Lemillion... Zuku." She muttered before looking up at us, "I-I'm looking forward to it." She said with the best attempt at a smile she could make.
I heard two good byes as I headed back to the dorms... so far so good, absolutely nothing can ruin this momentum.
"Midoriya... you're fired." Ashido said in a suit and shades.
*End of Chapter*
...
...
*Okay not really that's cruel*
"By 'fired' we mean you've been promoted to stage hand!" She exclaimed.
...
"Oh heck no!" I yelled, "I promised Eri that I would dance for her to make her happy... and if you think I'm going to let you take that from her-"
"No no Midoriya it's not like that at all." Kirishima said.
He explained the low down to me, how they need someone to 'Disperse' Aoyama, so he could transition from dancer to human disco ball in a fluid motion, and I'm the only one who has the strength to do it.
"Sorry for making you practice for nothing! As well as making you think you weren't going to dance!" Kirishima apologized.
I huffed, "It's cool... but you." I said pointing towards Ashido, "That's something you should say AT THE F**KING BEGINNING!" I yelled with anger.
"Okay jeez... why do you have to yell?" Ashido asked.
"My anger has to go somewhere..." I muttered as I picked up her suit and shades, "So I'll take it out on this suit." I said as I lit it on fire with my flame breath.
"NOOO!" She exclaimed as she knealt over the ashes, "M-My serious suit..." She muttered.
"Now let this be a lesson to all of you." I said, "Just go straight to the point with me. No 'You're Fired' this, no 'I have bad news' that. Got it?" I asked... which caused everyone to fearfully nod, "Good... now let's get this meeting over with."
That's how the time from now till the day of the cultral festival will go. Early training with All Might, school, practice, sleep. I don't really have much free time... but it's for Eri, so it's worth it.
She will smile and be happy... I swear it.
*End of Chapter* *For real this time*
