Chapter 10: Friendship (Part 2)

All the classmates of class 1-A explained everything that happened when Midoriya was present at the UA, which made Ikuto feel very proud of him.

Ikuto: Midoriya will definitely be a hero just like us.

Ojiro: You seem to be very pleased to know more about Midoriya.

Ikuto: No doubt, Ojiro, I'm glad he will support you in that sports festival.

Ojiro: Yes, it was from that moment that Midoriya began to earn my respect.

Ikuto: Tokoyami, you also consider him your friend because of everything they went through, don't you? "Smiling"

Tokoyami: I never saw him as unpleasant.

Ikuto: Something else that surprises me is that Midoriya has saved children from villains. "Smiling"

Koda: And the best part is that with or without help, he would have saved them from danger.

Ikuto: Ah, I almost forgot... Koda, I apologize for attacking you and...

Koda: Don't worry about that. Since I found out you were manipulated, I don't consider you an enemy. "Smiling"

Ikuto: Thank you, Koda.

Iida: Apologizing is part of education! "Waving the hand"

Ikuto: I see that you are very rigid.

Uraraka: Eventually, you get used to it.

Ikuto: Hehe... I see that you are. Of all the friends Midoriya has, I see that you and Iida are the closest.

Uraraka: Of course, and you have also become a good and close friend of Deku.

Ikuto: Deku? Do you always address him by his heroic name?

Uraraka: Yes. "Slightly flushed"

Ikuto: Heh! You're such a great friend. "Congratulating Uraraka"

Kirishima: Tsuyu was right. We can trust you. "Smiling"

Ikuto: Tsuyu told them what?

Yaoyorozu: She told us about you, and that gave us a good feeling.

Ikuto: Oh... I see. Again, thank you, Tsuyu. You're a great friend too. "Smiling"

Tsuyu: Clearly I am, Ikuto. "Smiling and slightly blushing"

Jiro: I wasn't expecting this, and I see Ashido has noticed. "Mentally speaking"

Ikuto: I am very proud to belong to the UA.

Kaminari: Hey, maybe it's too soon, but... have you thought about what your heroic name will be?

Ikuto: Well, a few seconds after I defeated Hollow, I told Midoriya what my hero name would be.

Iida: Really? which one is it?

Ikuto: Light... X.

Iida: Light X?

Hagakure: Why would you call yourself Light X?

Ikuto: Because Light in English means light and the X is shown as an elimination.

Iida: What do you mean?

Ikuto: I say that the light is presented as an X full of hope capable of eliminating evil.

Tsuyu: I am convinced that it is an excellent heroic name.

Ikuto: Hehe... thank you. That name came to me because of my great imagination.

Tsuyu: I can see that it is.

Ikuto: I also like your hero name, Tsuyu. Froppy is definitely a heroic name to go with you. "Smiling and congratulating Tsuyu"

Tsuyu: Ribbit. "Smiling and blushing"

Mineta: I also want to ask you a question.

Ikuto: Go ahead, Mineta.

Mineta: Ikuto... do you like girls your age or older?

Kaminari: Right, Ikuto, what kind of girls do you like?

Ikuto: Eeh... eeh... I... "Embarrassed"

Mineta: Ouch! "Receiving a lick as a blow from Tsuyu"

Kaminari: AAAAH! "Being attacked in the head by Jiro's ear wire"

Tsuyu: Don't ask perverted questions to Ikuto, Mineta.

Jiro: You don't try the same thing either, Kaminari. "Annoying"

Mineta: But I just asked him if he likes girls his age or older. "Rubbing his face"

Tsuyu: I know you well enough and that's why it's clear that you were going to ask her perverted questions.

Ikuto: Hehehehe... I really like girls, but only girls my age.

Mineta: Ha! I knew it!

Ikuto: Hehe... By the way, what time is it?

Iida: It is 9:00 am.

Ikuto: Thank you, class president. I think it's time for us to... "He tries to stand up, but falls down due to lack of energy"

Iida: Ikuto, you still haven't regained your strength. "Helping the young man on the ground"

Ikuto: I see... I haven't regained my strength yet..

Iida: Listen, Ikuto, we will take you to the UA tomorrow because your strength is still low.

Ikuto: In that case, inform Director Nezu that I will be going to the UA tomorrow.

Iida: We will do it, don't worry.

Tsuyu: We brought you clothes in your size, Ikuto.

Kirishima: We even get you sneakers and slippers.

Ikuto: Thank you. I will try it on tomorrow when I wake up.

Kaminari: Also try to bathe and eat.

Ikuto: Just a second, how do you know my sizes and footwear?

Sero: That's because your personal data is the same as Midoriya's.

Kirishima: The only difference is that you are 5'7" like me.

Yaoyorozu: I'm surprised that you're 5'7" like Kirishima.

Ikuto: That was due to my constant training.

Todoroki: Your training was extremely arduous. No wonder you became so strong.

Ikuto: Yes, but if it weren't for the device on my neck, I might never have reached that point.

Bakugo: Hey, this visit is getting too long. We should go get Deku... Izuku.

Ikuto: It's true. I ask you to...

Tsuyu: Don't worry, Ikuto. We were talking to Endeavor and Nezu, and we have an idea where Midoriya might be.

Ikuto: Then, why did Nezu ask me about Midoriya's whereabouts?

Tsuyu: Because he wanted to know if you were honest, and you proved it.

Ikuto: I see. Does that mean that thanks to them you knew that I was in this hospital?

Tsuyu: Of course.

Bakugo: All right... The visit ended! We must go get Izuku!

Kirishima: It's true! We must go!

Aoyama: Hey... Ikuto...

Ikuto: Tell me, Aoyama.

Aoyama: Did you... did you ever talk to All For One?

Ikuto: No... I never did it.

Aoyama: Okay. Thank you for confirming it.

Ikuto: Is everything all right? You look a little distressed.

Aoyama: No... it's just... I want Midoriya to come back.

Ikuto: It will be so.

Aoyama: We have to go.

Tsuyu: Each of you move forward in leaving.

Jiro: What are you going to do Tsuyu?

Tsuyu: Just give me 10 minutes while you are outside the hospital.

Jiro: Ah, that's right, we should go! "Remembering what Tsuyu wanted to talk to Ikuto about"

Aoyama: Well, we must move forward.

Sero: Yes! Let's go!

With all the UA students out of Ikuto's room, Tsuyu began to talk to Ikuto.

Tsuyu: I'm so glad we found you.

Ikuto: I'm glad you're here too, but what I'm glad more than anything is that I've made new friends.

Tsuyu: I can see that your life is improving, Ikuto.

Ikuto: No doubt.

Tsuyu: Hehe... yes.

Ikuto: Tsuyu, I know very well that you have stayed here a while longer because you want to talk to me.

Tsuyu: That's right.

Ikuto: Is it about all the people staying at the UA?

Tsuyu: Do you know?

Ikuto: Yes, but they must have calmed them all down, right?

Tsuyu: I have been more observant and I don't think we have calmed everyone there.

Ikuto: So, Midoriya once he's there...

Tsuyu: Not only him, you will also be in trouble.

Ikuto: Why?

Tsuyu: The news about you being a clone made from Midoriya's blood has spread through all the hero schools.

Ikuto: How is it possible?

Tsuyu: As long as Skeptic is free helping the villains to transmit many videos, there will be more panic.

Ikuto: Why didn't Principal Nezu tell me? "Serious"

Tsuyu: Ikuto... I told him to let me tell you that we have convinced many people that you are not a danger.

Ikuto: Tsuyu, how many times do I have to thank you for so much, "Smiling"

Tsuyu: Ribbit.

Ikuto: Regarding people who are still scared to believe that I am a problem, I know I can make them understand that I have no intention of betraying them. "Speaking self-confidently"

Tsuyu: Ikuto... aren't you going to worry?

Ikuto: I won't do it anymore because if I put stones in my way when facing my problems, I will never solve anything.

Tsuyu: "Surprised look"

Ikuto: Tsuyu... I owe it to all of you that my way of being is starting to change, but especially to you, because you were one of the first people who had all the courage to help me and I can also say that you motivate me to be a better hero, or, better said, to be a better person.

Tsuyu: "Smiling and blushing"

Ikuto: Aahh... I think I spoke too much. "Smiling and blushing"

Tsuyu: I am very glad to see you becoming optimistic.

Ikuto: That's because of my time with Midoriya.

Tsuyu: "Smiling"

Ikuto: But at this moment, the one who is extremely worried is Midoriya and that's why you and the others must find him.

Tsuyu: You are right.

Ikuto: Tsuyu, before you leave, can I ask you one last thing?

Tsuyu: Yes, tell me.

Ikuto: Do you have a family?

Tsuyu: Yes, although my parents travel a lot, so it's just me and my siblings, but we never stop being a loving family.

Ikuto: I see you have a family that loves you.

Tsuyu: "Looking a little saddened at Ikuto"

Ikuto: Listen, Tsuyu, I know very well that you know I have no family.

Tsuyu: Ikuto, I...

Ikuto: But thanks to everything I went through with Midoriya, I've started to consider him a brother.

Tsuyu: "Smiling"

Ikuto: I am telling you this because we all have something that All For One does not have at all.

Tsuyu: What is it?

Ikuto: True friendship. Therefore, we will win the battle.

Tsuyu: You have definitely improved, Ikuto.

Ikuto: And I will continue to improve.

Tsuyu: Well, I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow, Ikuto.

Ikuto: Well, see you, Tsuyu.

Tsuyu: Ah! By the way, I like your new hair color.

Ikuto: "Extremely flushed."

After leaving the hospital, Tsuyu met Uraraka and the others who decided to wait for her.

Uraraka: Tsuyu, there you are!

Tsuyu: Hello, Uraraka, and Bakugo?

Sero: He went to look for Midoriya on his own. You know how impatient Bakugo is.

Uraraka: Were you able to reassure Ikuto about the civilians staying at the UA?

Tsuyu: I didn't have to.

Uraraka: Why?

Tsuyu: Because he has improved.

Ashido: What do you mean?

Tsuyu: He knew about the civilians staying at the UA.

Uraraka: And you say there was no need to calm Ikuto down?

Tsuyu: I am going to explain to everyone, but I ask for a few minutes as it is still early and we have plenty of time to go get Midoriya.

After they finish discussing everything about the conversation with Ikuto, the young people are impressed with Ikuto.

Iida: Ikuto is a great person, and so I must admit that he will be a good friend. "Smiling"

Uraraka: No doubt. "Smiling"

Todoroki: Midoriya... you have a great brother, and I must also be a great brother to Toya. "Mentally speaking and smiling"

Kirishima: That's being a great man. "Smiling in a proud manner"

Aoyama: "Smiling"

Ashido: We will recover Midoriya so that he can be reunited with Ikuto and together we can defeat All For One!

Tsuyu: Yes, let's all go!

All students in class 1-A: Yes! "Screaming"
