After Toya left, an awkward atmosphere reappeared between All Might and Izuku. The two of them didn't speak until the headmaster broke their silence.
" So how is it? Did everything go smoothly? "
" Thank you for your concern headmaster, everything is going smoothly as far "
" That's good to hear, are you guys going to continue the battle simulation? "
" Yes headmaster, we have just finished the first raid and will carry out the second raid, My colleague is also already heading to the designated location, and we are waiting for the students and my other colleague to return "
" Is that so, do you mind if I watch along with All Might "
" Of course not, it's an honor to have Hero No. 1 also supervise the students during the battle, I'm sure the students would also be happy about that "
Seeing the conversation between the Headmaster and Izuku, there was nothing out of the ordinary, they just exchanged their usual conversation while smiling at each other. But something different happened to Shimizu who was watching her leader from the side.
' Is that really the leader? '
For some reason, he was horrified to see the leader he knew speaking kindly while hiding a cold aura around him. Not only Shimizu. Even Aizawa who was looking from the side felt something odd about Izuku's smile.
" I see, it's nice to hear that, Then I and All Might are watching here, but I probably won't be able to for long because I still have some work "
" It's alright, I understand, and All Might-san, do you mind escorting the students to the gate with me? "
Hearing himself called, All Might briefly looked at Izuku with a puzzled look before returning to the headmaster. The headmaster just nodded in agreement with Izuku's suggestion regardless of the troubled face All Might had.
" Then, shall we go All Might-san "
All Might, Izuku, and the rest of Group 2 left the room in silence. Izumi, who has been paying attention to the interactions between her father and Izuku, couldn't help but feel strange about their friendly interactions regardless of the actual relationship that exists between them. She then pushed her way through the crowd and approached the two before they could leave.
" Da- All Might "
" What's wrong young Yagi? "
" That... "
" Then, let's talk later "
Meanwhile, Shimizu silently watched the two of them leave the room. He noticed the fleeting change in Izuku's initially smiling face to a cold, expressionless face. This made Shimizu inevitably take a step back. But before she could go any further, Izuku immediately called out to her.
" Shimizu, you're also coming "
Shimizu flinched as soon as she heard Izuku calling her and immediately chased after the group since she didn't want to make her leader even more upset.
As they walked down the hall, neither of the group spoke until they reached the front door. The students then looked at Izuku and All Might as if asking what next. Seeing this, Izuku summoned a bear monster from within his shadow to escort the students to the battle location.
" You guys get on, this bear will lead you to the gate "
The students nodded and followed Izuku's instructions. After making sure everyone was aboard, he spoke again.
" Oh! That's right, this is just a suggestion from me, but try a surprise attack on him, and don't underestimate his physical strength, even though he's a mage, his physical strength is still on par with a B-rank warrior. "
" Is it okay for you to give us advice? " (Shoto)
" It's alright, after all, your opponent is an S-rank Hunter "
" I see, thanks for the suggestion " (Shoto)
" You're welcome, and All Might-san do you have something you want to tell them "
" Ah, yes sure, fight well, watch your opponent carefully before attacking. that's all from me "
" Alright then, be careful on the way, I'll see you later "
After receiving nods from the students, Izuku sent them off. Shimizu, who was at the side, slowly approached Izuku and started talking to him.
" Leader, what's the reason you suddenly gave them a suggestion? "
" Nothing in particular, well, maybe I just want to see Toya-san get beaten up a bit "
Shimizu watched the look on Izuku's face for a moment, There was no kind smile, and there was only his usual playful sense.
" Yup you're the leader I know "
" What's wrong with you all of a sudden "
" Nothing, it's just that when the chairman spoke kindly just now I thought you changed to someone else "
" Is that so, oh! they're here "
Not long after, the first group returned with one of Izuku's shadow monsters. Just as they reached Izuku and the others, the bear bowed to its liege while letting the students get off its back.
Seeing the sight of a huge black bear bowing obediently to Izuku gave All Might chills. He thought back to their fight back then where he had to deal with one of the bear claws.
After making sure all the students got off, the bear then disappeared into a black mist and returned to the shadow of its owner. The students who had just come downstairs were surprised to see All Might was there waiting for them.
" Ah, All Might "
" You're here? "
" Of course, aren't I one of the hero class teachers, there's no way I'm not watching "
Izuku briefly looks at their interactions before returning to the students who have quite messy appearances, especially Aoyama and Uraraka who have overused their quirks.
" Shimizu heal them"
" Yes sir "
Shimizu walked towards them and then he extended his hand towards them. Green light began to cover the group of students and before long, their wounds disappeared, even the tiredness they felt disappeared.
People were once again amazed by the healing magic Shimizu used, even All Might felt the same way. The students also commented on how they felt when the green light covered them.
" wow this feels warm " (Uraraka)
" That's right, the pain and fatigue in my body also disappeared " (Kirishima)
" But why is it, when Recovery Girl heals us, we are always tired after we are finished "
" That's because I use mana, for the rest the leader will explain it "
Izuku glanced at Shimizu with a look of disbelief but soon sighed remembering the nature of his subordinates who liked to go easy on his superiors. In their eyes, even though it looked the same as Recovery's quirk, they didn't feel tired after the healing process was complete.
" Huh... You... fine, as Shimizu said just now, she uses mana to heal your wound as well as stamina, while Recovery Girl's quirk uses your stamina to heal injuries, at least that's what I heard from the principal. Also healing magic wasn't just about healing wounds and such, but also included strengthening the body as well as magic, in other words, it's a buff "
The students nodded after listening to Izuku's explanation, and when he finished explaining their healing was also completed.
" Good job everyone, Me and the teachers have seen your match, well, I didn't expect you to be able to beat Tanaka with such clever tactics. The MPV in this battle is you Kirishima-kun, Thanks to you protecting your teammates, your attack becomes smooth. "
" Thank you "
" Also Yoyoruzu-san, you did a good job with your plan, you calmly analyzed your opponent and prepared a plan to overcome it "
" Thank you for the compliment Hunter-san "
" As for the others, except for your slightly slow reaction when facing the boss, good job of giving resistance. You got 80 points from me "
The students who received praise from Izuku had smiles on their faces and immediately told them to go back.
" Go to the monitor room, we have to wait for another person "
"" Yes, thank you ""
Following Izuku's words, the students passed by them one by one while bowing a bit. After all the students left, Shimizu approached Izuku.
" Hey, leader Who are we waiting for? "
" That person "
Shimizu turned her gaze in the direction Izuku was pointing. She could see the familiar humanoid ant figure dragging Tanaka's already bloodied body on his head.
" Oh my, Beru really finished him off "
As they talked, Beru approached them by dragging Tanaka's head in his hand. As soon as he reached them, Beru once again plunged Tanaka's head to the ground while bowing respectfully to his liege.
" My liege, I have brought this disobedient subordinate to you "
" Good work, you can go back "
" Good my liege "
Beru's body then fades into black smoke before returning to Izuku's shadow.
" Should I heal him? "
" Do it "
" Okay "
The green light covered Tanaka's body and as soon as the light went out, Tanaka's consciousness slowly returned. He groaned for a moment and slowly got up as he opened his eyes.
" Ugh... what happened? "
" You've come to your senses? "
Izuku stared at Tanaka coldly while Shimizu held back laughter beside him. Recognizing the cold voice calling him, Tanaka immediately got up as soon as he saw Izuku.
" Le-leader?!"
" You know what you've done "
" Ah, that... "
" Didn't I warn you not to use your mana? "
" That... I'm sorry... "
Izuku briefly looked at Tanaka who had a regretful expression on his face. He then walked up to him and immediately threw his fist right at his stomach. Tanaka immediately groaned as he endured the pain of Izuku's punch.
" Go back with Shimizu "
" ye-yes sir "
Tanaka walked weakly while clutching his stomach while Shimizu walked beside him laughing.
" pft, hahaha... You got a good punch from the leader "
" Shut up idiot "
All Might, who was shocked by Izuku's sudden action, could only stare blankly at their quarrel. He then turned his gaze back to Izuku who wasn't even looking at him.
" So why did you come to see me? "
" Ah that... how do you know? "
" Just a lucky guess. Apart from seeing you come with the Headmaster, I just assumed you persuaded him to come even though you shouldn't have any teaching scheduled today. And after seeing your attempt to call our office to see me I can't help but be suspicious of your arrival today. Am I wrong? "
" No, you guessed it all, I never knew you were that smart "
" Well, I'm also curious about what you know about me "
All Might turned his face away as soon as he heard Izuku's sarcastic words. There was bitterness on his face and again he couldn't refute Izuku's comments either.
" Well, you're right. "
" So what do you want to say? "
" Can... can we talk? "
" We are "
" No, I mean... Can you spare your time to talk to your family "
" Why would I do that? "
" That... your mother seems to want to see you, besides, Izumi also- "
" What nonsense are you talking about? "
" what? "
" Ah, I'm sorry All Might-san, I couldn't help it when I heard you say such nonsense "
" What are you talking about? "
" Well, it's just that did you know your daughter met me before coming here and we had a little talk. "
" Izumi "
" Take it easy, I didn't do anything, well at least not yet "
" What do you mean "
All Might suddenly look at Izuku in a threatening tone. He had a cold aura around him when he thought that Izuku might hurt his daughter.
" Well, seeing how your daughter overacted just because I battered you a bit, it looks like she's going to do something about the fight later. I can't guarantee what happens to him later, just remind you but my soldiers are not as patient as I am. "
Izuku turned around for a moment and it was then that All Might could see Izuku's shining purple eyes which also emitted a chill that made him shiver. At that moment, he could feel his body goosebumps remembering the fight he had with the child in front of him. He could vividly remember the feeling of death he felt when confronted by the black soldiers he had summoned.
" Nice to talk to you All Might-san. Shall we head back, we still have work to do, see you in No. 1 "
