Hey gals and gamers this chapter is a bit shorter compared to the more recent ones sorry and this chapter along with probably the next one will be covering the 2 weeks between the USJ and Sports festival. Tbh I didn't really like how the anime just skipped from one big event to another so I'll change that a bit here. Each chapter will cover moments of the 2 weeks I deem notable, this one will only be of the days after the USJ though and will be a mix of filler and character development. Another thing, I assume they still had class in those 2 weeks and I didn't find anything saying otherwise.

The Maximum Hero: Peaceful deceleration
It feels good to walk around after having to stay in bed all day, his day off was spent in bed with doses of healing from Recovery girl every handful of hours between meals. He kept busy by reviewing the recordings from the invasion and trying to learn from them, his phone is still on the bus from yesterday and while he can message without it he hadn't really considered checking his messages or anything.
Strangely he didn't ever feel the need to sleep, he would zone out and relax but never actually fall unconscious, maybe his nerves are still wound too tight? Tonight when he's finally at home he will try to sleep since he doesn't think it's healthy to go too long without it.
He was given the all clear on his condition this morning so his mom bought him his uniform from home and he showered and changed at school. So of course he is the first in class by a wide margin, it takes a good fifteen minutes before even Iida enters the room, and when he does he makes his surprise known.
"MIDORIYA?", the engine boy speeds to where Izuku is seated, "I thought you would be in the infirmary for at least a month with what Kirishima told us, yet here you are looking perfectly fine!"
Kirishima… Midoriya forgot he heard when he described his condition to Principle Nezu and Recovery girl.
"I was pretty beaten up, but with help from Recovery girl I was able to heal in time for class, I just got my all clear from the infirmary this morning actually.", Midoriya informs Iida.
"Ah I see, thank goodness you are alright then", Iida thankfully then moves away from Midoriya and sits at his seat.
The next to enter the room is Todoroki, unlike Iida he simply gives Izuku a look of mild surprise before continuing to his seat.
Following Todoroki is his class vice president, Yaoyorozu, when she sees him her face fills with pure shock then blood red. That's weird. The girl walks up to Izuku without making eye contact and standing before him, "I must say I did not expect you to be here today but I am glad to see you back to normal so soon".
She was one of the ones to find him on the bottom of the mountain so he can fully understand her shock. "Thank you", and he means it, it feels nice to be cared about in any capacity.
She continues to stand there before taking a breath, "I was going to do it on my own, but since you are back so soon would you like to meet in our designated meeting room during lunch to work on our report? I'm sure we can ask whoever our substitute is to use it even if it isn't Friday to write out our weekly report".
Izuku had honestly forgotten that was something they had to do and he can't leave it to Yaoyorozu alone, "Of course, it was room… right?".
"Yes, I will still make sure though"
"Okay I'll see you there then".
Yaoyorozu quickly turns and sits at her seat, he doesn't think she met his eyes even once, wonder what that was about.
The pattern of students entering the room and either staring at him in surprise or going up to him and questioning his condition continued. Jiro and Ojiro were just as surprised as Yaoyorozu and asked similar questions as Iida did but he answered them and assured them he was alright. Uraraka was especially curious as to how he managed to heal so quickly but once he explained it was a mix of his quirk and Recovery girl she seemed satisfied.
Kirishima apologized for revealing the extent of his past condition to the class but Izuku doesn't hold it against him, Kirishima isn't the type to try and spread rumors or anything. It's what he says after that sticks with him.
Kirishima stares Izuku in the eye with a look of gratitude,"And thank you so much for stepping in the fight for me, if you didn't warn me I don't even want to imagine what would happen, thankfully I was able to get my arm healed quickly with Recovery girl".
He stops for a moment as if the next words are harder to get out, "and I didn't want to admit it but I knew was not going to win that fight and I would've kept going, but you convinced me to step off and that probably saved my life, then you took a direct hit for Bakugou as well saving him and managed to make it to the front of the USJ even with all your injuries? You are the most manly guy I've ever known", he bows deeply before once again staring him in the eye, "Thank you"
Izuku feels something stir inside of him, it's an emotion he can't exactly place but it feels nice getting thanked like this, "You would've done the same for me" he simply says to Kirishima
Kirishima wipes an imaginary tear from his eye, "ugh SO MANLY" and then he goes to his seat.
When Kacchan enters he just stares at him, with a face of conflicted feelings, shock, anger, relief? Then anger again before going to his seat.
Then there was Kaminari and out of all the greetings and questions he received, Kaminari surprises him the most.
Instead of asking questions or staring in shock, once he saw Izuku sitting in his seat he quickly walked past all the students discussing the invasion, and hugged him. Izuku freezes at the contact, he can't remember the last time he got a hug from someone that wasn't his mom, and even then not including the other day he doesn't get them very often.
Kaminari holds him firmly for a few short moments and Izuku slowly starts to loosen his muscles, this is nice, then just as he starts to enjoy it, it's over. Izuku finds himself sad at this, that was a nice feeling and it's something he didn't know he would like as much as he did. Now he feels almost… empty…and cold?
Kaminari is still holding his shoulder as he pulls away and stares at him with a huge grin, "You're alive! Damn bro you can't get massively fucked up then ignore all my messages! That's not cool at all!".
He tried to text him, Izuku doesn't know why but this is unexpected, he does consider Kaminari his friend and they have hung out before but a large part of him did not expect him to well… care. "Sorry I left my phone and the bus and didn't think to check for any texts while I was healing", Izuku hesitantly answers.
Kaminari lets go of his shoulders, "No it's fine I get it, but I was so worried man! I mean first Ojiro tells me you got jumped by 6 villains but almost won, and fell from 12 stories, then we find you on the bottom of a mountain with a Midoriya sized crater when your HEART STOPS. THEN I learned from Kirishima that you were only being kept alive by your quirk are you kidding me?! And imagine my surprise when Bakugou said that you got fucking DOMED by the same creature that gave All Might a hard time which is what left you at the foot of the mountain".
Midoriya winces, "I mean when you say it like that…"
Kaminari chuckles, "No I honestly get why you didn't respond, I'm just happy to see you back in action so soon, and hey thank you for saving me from that villain, my memory is hazy but the others told me what you did so really thank you".
Izuku smiles gently, "heh,no problem", Kaminari is a good friend.
The blonde teen turns, "Anyway I'm gonna take my seat before our sub gets here".
That's true no way Aizawa can teach so soon with how he was, and he doesn't have the nanosuit to speed his healing, "Wait do you know how Aizawa is doing?"
Kaminari turns his head as he leaves, "No idea, but we know he's alive!"
That's good, Midoriya wonders if he remembers how he carried him out of the active combat zone.
Kaminari was one of the last students to enter and in the time he spent talking to Izuku the remaining students arrived. Almost as soon as he does the door creaks open to reveal… Aizawa?
"Good morning class", he greets under layers of bandages that cause him to resemble a mummy,
"Aizawa sensei, shouldn't you still be recovering instead of teaching?", Iida questions.
"My condition is irrelevant to my position as a teacher, what matters more is that your battle isn't over", the mummified man reveals.
That is concerning but Izuku remains calm, Aizawa seems calm, so there must be more to his statement. His classmates seem to disagree with his thought process though.
"Our battle?"
"We just had a close call!"
"Not more villains!"
Aizawa continues, "The Yuuei sports festival is approaching"
Izuku winces in mild surprise as the entire class voices their opinions on the bait and switch, ranging from relief, to surprise, and slight annoyance.
"Is it really a good idea to hold such a large event after what just happened? What if the villains attack again?", Jiro thoughtfully inputs.
That's a fair point, the villains didn't succeed in their invasion, so it's possible they will attack the sports festival as a second attempt.
"The school believes that by having the festival it will show the public and villains that we are confident in preparing for all possible incidents, that and there will be a 5 times increase in police and hero presence." The sensei replies, "And you should instead be thinking about how big of an opportunity the festival is for you all, where there once was the olympics is now our sports festival and it is a chance for you to get scouted by pro heroes so make sure to not take this lightly."
Scouted by a pro hero, that seems almost like a complete fantasy but it is a real possibility. If he had the chance to pick a hero to intern under, which would be the best match? Maybe a power or offensive type hero there's plenty of those, or someone stealth based like Aizawa sensei, hmm a defensive kind of hero could also be a good choice like the hero Crust, then there's speed quirk heroes like Ingenium. The nanosuit has a lot to work with after all so there are a wide variety of heroes that he can learn from.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
Classes are surprisingly normal and now it's time for a short midday break before lunch, everyone uses this time to chat with each other. Uraraka and Iida are currently talking with Izuku and out of the corner of his eyes he can see Kaminari maneuvering around to reach them too.
"Deku. Iida, Lets crush it at the sports festival" Uraraka says with the most determined expression on her face.
Uraraka seems to be strangely motivated about the festival, it's a good thing of course, but uh kind of unsettling coming from someone who is usually so bubbly.
"EVERYONE IM GONNA DO MY BEST", she shouts at the people in front of her, she then turns to the others not even in their conversation, " I SAID IM GONNA DO MY BEST", they nervously cheer her on.
"Such spirit"
Prophet?! Izuku's eyes dart around the room but realizes the voice came from his head, he tries to find the source by listening for more words but there are none.
"Uraraka is getting pumped up huh"
Izuku darts his head behind him in a blur, it's just Kaminari, hearing Prophets voice must've made him jumpy.
Izuku subtly calms himself, "Yeah she's really motivated, it looks like".
"So you ready to go and fuck up some of Lunch Rushes food?", Kaminari jokes, "I personally have been looking forward to some udon"
He is kind of hungry now that he thinks about it but he can't enjoy his food with Kaminari today he has a meeting, "I'm also feeling hungry but today I won't be able to eat with you, I have to go to a mee-"
Yaoyorozu, not noticing Izuku speaking, interrupts,"Ah Midoriya, I asked Aizawa and he said it was alright to use room 5.17 to work on our weekly report, I am going to first get my lunch before going over and eating while we work".
"I'll be sure to do the same", she still isn't meeting his eyes for whatever reason.
She turns and leaves the room, he should do the same soon, "Sorry about that Kaminari I was just about to tell you I can't eat lunch with you and the others today, I have to create a weekly report as class rep with Yaoyorozu, would you mind telling Iida and Uraraka?" he would tell them himself but he wants to get a move on already and they are still conversing with their other classmates.
Kaminari leans against a desk, "No it's fine being a class rep must come with work to do and sure I'll tell the others".
"Thank you", well he should be going but one more thing has been bugging him, "And before I go I have a small question I was hoping you could help with".
Kaminari tilts his head, kind of like those dog videos… he probably shouldn't say that, "It could be nothing but when Yaoyorozu first saw me she turned bright red, and she hasn't looked me in the eyes once when we've talked including just now".
"Pffft yeah I can explain that, when we found you at the bottom of the mountain you were doing something called agonal breathing so she asked me how to remove the front of your helmet so she could start doing CPR." the teen says with a suspicious smile on his face.
Ohhh he thinks he knows where this is going.
Kaminari continues, " Once she got it removed she started compressions when your heart stopped like I had told you, and right as she was going to give you mouth to mouth, your helmet closed and your quirk restarted your heart"
"So then the reason she is acting weird around me is because…", Izuku has connected the dots but he would like a confirmation from his friend.
"You were almost her first kiss, even if it was CPR she probably still thinks of it that way, you know with how she acts you'd think such a thing wouldn't bother her but she is still a girl after all." Kaminari notes, his face then winces, "I don't mean that in a sexist way or anything though she just seems so serious that such a thing mattering to her is surprising is all", he waves his hand in front of his face in a placating way.
"I know how you meant it,no need to defend yourself, I didn't expect it either honestly, thanks for letting me know I'll be going now", Izuku thanks as he walks off to the cafeteria.
"Anytime bud".
Since Izuku started making his way to the cafeteria just before their midday break was over he is among the first to arrive, he doesn't see his fellow class representative anywhere so he assumes she has already gotten her food.
After a short wait in line Izuku grabs his lunch for the day, an assortment of onigiri in a small plastic container with a bottle of water, and begins to leave the cafeteria as it fully fills with students.
So if the room is 5.17 it would be on the 5th floor's room 17, elevator it is then he wants to be quick and if he remembers correctly there is one nearby. He waits for longer than he would expect but the elevator was probably at one of the higher levels.
Once in the elevator Izuku goes to press the button for the 5th floor before someone shouts from outside, "Hey Hey Hey hold the door!", he decides to oblige but his hands are full so he uses his foot to stop the door from closing.
A girl steps inside quickly with her arms holding blueprints for whatever reason, he gets a good look at her as she enters. She is a bit shorter than him and has long pink hair, instead of a typical uniform she is wearing a messy black tank top and black pants along with a pair of goggles on her head. Her eyes are yellow and have crosses on them, probably her quirk, then there's grains of rice all over her lips and lower face like she was cramming rice down her throat without chewing.
"Thanks, I had to eat or else Mr Power Loader wouldn't let me keep working on my babies! He never said I had to eat slowly though haha!" the strange girl explains even though he hadn't said anything as she carefully presses her own stop's button.
B-Babies? And she knows Power loader? She must be a support course student!
"N-No problem, you have rice on your face by the way", and she isn't listening at all, that's cool, she's too absorbed in her blueprints. He looks over her shoulder discreetly so he can also have a look, it appears to be some sort of jetpack similar to Air Jet's.
"If she doesn't increase the ventilation it'll blow up"
"If you don't increase the ventilation it's going to blow up"
"Hm?... OH! How could I have missed something so basic? Hey, how'd you know that?", the girl questions.
He said that out loud?! And… was that prophet's voice again?! Why is he hearing voices now? Was it because of what happened at the USJ? , "Uh- I- it's because-"
DING
The elevator stops, "I guess it doesn't matter this is my stop. Time to work on my babies! And thank you tired looking guy!", she leaves the elevator.
…
He doesn't look that tired, does he? The doors close and the elevator continues up for a moment before finally stopping at Izuku's desired level.
Now on the 5th floor Izuku quickly finds room 17 and fishes his student ID out of his pocket and taps the lock with it before opening the door and entering.
The room is rectangle shaped and is smaller than a classroom but larger than a simple broom closet, it is similar to the police officers office he was in months ago if a bit larger. The room has a couch on the right against the wall with a coffee table in front of it and a small desk with a lamp on the opposite wall next to the open door. The left side of the room has a medium sized office desk that if he were to guess is about as large as the teachers desk in their main classroom but shorter with 2 chairs on either side.
Yaoyorozu is seated on one of the chairs eating her lunch, he assumes she hasn't been here long since her sushi roll is still half uneaten.
"Sorry for the wait, someone else had a stop on the elevator", he informs her.
She wipes her mouth with a napkin, "I have only just arrived, no need to apologize", still not staring him in the eye.
Should he acknowledge what happened or would it be best to let it subside on its own, he doesn't have the nerve to actually say anything though.
Izuku sits on the open chair and sets his lunch down, there is a paper and pen on his side so he can write down whatever they discuss. Since he's class president he should be the first to talk.
"Is there anything you had in mind to mention in our report Yaoyorozu?", he asks before taking a bite of one of his onigiri.
"I believe we should all be given proper instruction on how to handle future invasions, I would presume it is already in our current curriculum but it should be moved to a closer date", that's a good idea, she must've been thinking about it.
Izuku eats another bite of his onigiri as he writes down her idea, "That's pretty good, it's written down".
"Thank you"
During his day in the infirmary he actually thought about how things could have gone differently and ways they can plan in the future, and while there isn't much they could have done since it was a pretty much a sneak attack he did have an idea or two.
"I know this time our communications were blocked but it could be a good idea to give each student miniature walkie talkies as part of their uniform, and it could also be good for all of us to carry a flare gun of varying colors to identify each of us if the walkie talkies are disabled.", this was more of a way to keep everyone connected since they were separated last time.
Yaoyorozu looks Izuku in the eyes for the first time all day, "Those are both wonderful ideas!"
"Writing them down", Izuku's scribbles down his ideas. "These are just suggestions though, we should add actual things of note in our report".
Yaoyorozu seems hesitant but speaks, "In that case I do have something I would like to bring to his attention".
"Im listening", Izuku says before finishing one of his onigiri and taking a sip of his water.
"I don't mean to offended but you look… disturbed, as if you haven't gotten any rest and I must admit I was very surprised to see you back in class. Anyway I noticed some other students also looking a bit paranoid and anxious today so we should make Aizawa aware of this if he isn't already."
Izuku mentally slaps his forehead, he should've noticed that but he must've been so occupied with his own …issues… to notice, of course everyone isnt okay after all of that, he hasn't even really had a chance to talk to the others about what they went through at the invasion. He has an excuse considering he was healing and all but still.
"That's true I'm embarrassed to admit I hadn't thought of that but it's true, I'll be sure to add that here as well", Izuku neglected to address the first part of her sentence and she seems to have noticed that.
"Is there anything else we should say?"In his mind that's about all to report since it's the first week and other than the invasion there was nothing worth noting that Aizawa would consider helpful.
Yaoyorozu thinks for a moment, "I believe so yes".
Izuku adds his signature to the bottom of the page and passes it to her so she can do the same, "Then we should be good to go, I think i'm going to finish my lunch here since it would be a hassle to go back and find a seat with all the students there now".
Yaoyorozu looks at her plate of food that still has a good amount left on it, "I will also stay here for the remaining 30 minutes of lunch if you do not mind".
"Not at all, why would I?", does she think he would be bothered by her or something?
They eat their food in silence for a few minutes when Izuku notices Yaoyorozu's face begin to speak then stop as if hesitant to continue, "Is there something on your mind?"
"Yes… I said I noticed you seemed disturbed and I was hoping to ask you some more about that, as the class president and vice president we have a duty to look after our classmates but we cannot forget about ourselves. I know we are not very close but as your fellow class rep you can trust me if there is anything on your mind". She truthfully admits to Izuku.
Once again Izuku is struck by just how different his school life is now compared to middle school. No one cared about his well being before, it was common for people to simply walk past him getting beat and bullied or not bat an eye if he missed a day of school because of injuries. But in this school the principal personally apologized and his classmates have shown genuine interest and relief in his health.
"Thank you for your concern but I am fine really", his problems are his own, it isn't fair to push his burdens onto others.
But with determination in her eyes Yaoyorosu persists, " I'm sorry but I cannot in good conscience believe that, we found you beaten at the bottom of a mountain when your heart stopped, you nearly died!"
"Wouldn't be the first time we've died"
Izuku stops himself from reacting to the sudden return of the voice, "I know but I healed quickly and I don't exactly remember any of that myself so please trust me when I say I am fine", a lie that no one will believe but the sadness in his eyes is enough to make her back off.
The girl seems to realize that even if he is troubled he wont tell her anything so with a soft expression she relents, "Very well, but please remember that if you need anything you are not alone".
"Thank you", and he means it, he is thankful for their compassion.
DING DING DONG
"Sounds like lunch is over, we should go back to class now", Izuku picks up his small amount of trash and tosses it into the corner trash can.
"Yes I will follow you soon, go on ahead of me", she seems a bit saddened by Izuku brushing off her concerns but he isn't ready to say anything to anyone yet, not after the memories he was shown.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
Back in class they had no activities for hero class today other than writing detailed essays of what they experienced 2 days ago, several times Ashido, Kaminari and the short purple kid tried to turn in their essays only for Aizawa to take a single look at their one or two pages and tell them to write more.
Izuku was spared from this assignment since he gave Nezu his video recording, he instead spent the class planning for the coming weeks before the sports festival and scrolling on his phone, he had permission in the form of Aizawa telling him, "Just don't bother anyone as they write".
A short while before class ends Aizawa excuses himself, "I have to leave class a bit early to visit Recovery girl, you all stay here until class ends but make sure to turn in your assignments first."
"Midoriya, a quick word outside please", Midoriya complies and follows his sensei outdoors, he also takes his weekly report to give it to him before he leaves.
Aizawa stares at him as he closes the door behind them "I wanted to say something about the end of the vision invasion" he starts, "even though I told you to not fight but instead gather the others and run, and yet you still chose to engage, but from what I have seen of your recordings you saved Bakugou's life which caused you intense injury, not to mention how you removed me from the battlefield so, thank you. But next time I give you an order. you follow it", even covered in bandages the power of his gaze is immense," understood?"
"Yes sensei", Izuku replies, "and um about the weekly report, do I give it to you now or leave it at your desk"
"You can place it atop my arms now", Aizawa answers.
Izuku does just that then bows to his teacher before returning inside, as class continues more and more people finish their assignments and leave it on the front desk. It isn't long before everyone is done and simply starts talking, Izuku is no exception as he finds himself speaking to Kaminari, Iida, and Uraraka.
Kaminari clears his throat, "Hey we were talking during lunch and we were thinking that tomorrow we can all hang out at Dagobah beach, it recently got really clean in some parts so we are interested in going and it's nearby, wanna come?."
Izuku is a bit surprised by this, he didn't think he cleaned the beach that much, but it's clean enough for his friends to want to go to so he feels complimented, but he won't say anything. "For sure I'd love to go, tomorrow what time?"
Iida winces slightly, "Apologies but I was about to mention that I cannot go if it is tomorrow as I have some minor family matters to attend."
Uraraka sighs sadly, "That stinks, can we reschedule?", she looks around.
Izuku doesn't say anything since he is free whenever but Kaminari speaks up, "Why don't we do it next weekend? That way we can spend a good amount of time there."
"That would be an acceptable time for me", Iida states.
"Yeah I should be free too", Uraraka this time.
"I can do that", Izuku adds at last.
"We can do more planning in our group chat as the day gets closer", Kaminari says.
"Sounds good"
"Yup"
They all decide to leave the room and go home with Uraraka in the front, but when she opens the door they are met with an unexpected sight. A crowd of students blocking the way outside of the room.
Uraraka, being the one nearest to the door, is the first to speak, "What the heck? Who are you all?"
The short purple kid also voices his confusion, "Y-yeah what are you guys d-doing here."
Kacchan pushes his way past their classmates to face the students crowding the door, "Obviously they're here to check out their competition dumbass, they want to see the class that survived a villian attack before the sports festival." He turns and directs his attention to the crowd, "Its pointless to do this so fuck off you damn losers nothing will help you from getting destroyed at the sports festival."
As if summoned by these words a purple head of hair makes its way through the crowd until it reaches the front and is staring down Kacchan, its Shinso. "Yeah what you said is true, I came here to see what you hero students are made of, but all I didn't think you'd be this arrogant, are all of you the same as him?".
Shinso looks around the classroom as if searching for someone but when his eyes meet Izukus for a brief moment, his gaze falters as if he was remembering the short lunch they shared, but then his gaze hardens once more. "There was also a rumor spreading, that in the villain attack one of you broke nearly every bone in their body after their heart stopped, but looking around, everyone seems perfectly fine. Did one of you spread that rumor just to seem cool? Or try and show off? That is disgusting."
A head of red briskly walks past Izuku's side; he turns just in time to see Kirishima's face clearly offended and enraged.
"YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING", Kirishima shouts as he approaches Shinso, "I was right there and I saw the hit that caused the injuries!" He points at Izuku who freezes like a deer in headlights. "Izuku saved me from fighting a villain that would have probably KILLED me, and then he saved Bakugou which is what got him as beat up as you heard! I was so surprised to see him today, I know I wasn't alone in thinking he was dead! So don't you dare try to demean what he did or claim it was a lie to show off." Kirishima then angrily walks through the crowd that parts momentarily to allow him to pass, Kacchan takes the opportunity to also leave the classroom.
Shinso seems stunned and it takes several seconds for him to regain his composure and speak again. "T-There are many students in Gen Ed or other courses because they failed the hero exam that's unfairly based on physical quirks, did you know that? But here's the reason I'm here, because based on how you do on the sports festival, there's a chance to be transferred up to the hero course with the opposite also being possible. So that got a Gen Ed kid like myself thinking, hey why don't I pull the rug out from under them and take one of those hero course spots for myself? Consider this a declaration of war."
Izuku thinks for a moment then turns to Shinso with a determined face, "Do your best".
"This is nothing like real war"
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
Izuku leaves the classroom with his electric friend and meets up with Iida and Uraraka.
"That guy seems to really not like us, and we ate lunch together before so I thought he'd be cool." Kaminari says.
Izuku agrees, but he remembers the strange look of betrayal on Shinso's face when he found out they were hero course, "yeah it surprised me too"
"Really sucks", the blonde boy adds.
"It does not come as a shock that other students may be envious of our position as hero students, as he said they tried for it and failed", Iida inputs.
"I almost feel guilty", Uraraka admits.
Izuku frowns, "Would I have acted like that if I didn't pass the exam?".
"Don't worry about things like that", Uraraka replies.
Izuku sighs and clears his mind, "Yeah you're right"
The group of friends then walk together out of the school until they each reach their separate paths and split off before Izuku reaches his train.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
"Did everything go well at school today? No pain or anything?", his mother asks him once he enters his apartment.
"No pain everything went well, if not for the full day of healing I wouldn't even have remembered", and it's true he honestly felt fine all day.
The boy and his mother eat a meal together while discussing the smaller details of the day then once the food was eaten and plates clean Izuku excused himself to his bedroom for the rest of the day.
Part of him wants to enable the nanosuit to see if he is really fully healed, but he doesn't want to, he isn't afraid of using it but it would serve as a reminder of what he went through and it's not like he has to use it right now.
He hasn't even been away from his room for very long but it feels like it's been ages since he was last here.
Looking around his room all of the All Might hero merch feels almost a bit strange since now he knows All Might as a teacher. No way he can get rid of everything, it took time to get all of this! But the more common and basic merch he can take down and put away. It doesn't take long and 1 box is enough to store the posters and cheaper action figures, and honestly he likes how it looks more now.
By the time he is done there is 3 posters left on his wall, 6 action figures, 2 mini figures, 2 pictures, a a bunch of comics and books, and finally his most valued possession, All Mights Mighty Adventures #1. He recently got it graded and properly stored in a plastic case, it ended up being gem mint or even mint ( 9.9 or 10) condition and the person he got it graded with guessed it would be worth around TWENTY - FIVE million yen at an auction if not upwards of 30.
The reason for this is it's amazing condition with the original price sticker still on the front and that the run of All Mights Mighty Adventures was actually canceled and remade as Fantastical Mighty tales which ended in there only being around 150-250 comics actually made. A majority of these were either poorly made or had defects so it's assumed there are under 50 that are in the condition that his is in, if not less.
He has actually had a genuine offer made to his fan account not long after he first posted about it for 22 million yen but he turned it down since to him it is priceless. Maybe he will take it to school and ask All Might to sign the see through case, it would increase both the literal value and his personal value of it.
Tomorrow he'll probably spend the day lazing around the house for once since he was stuck in bed yesterday and today was school so he figures he will do his normal training before sleeping in a bit more then watch some hero recordings and movies. Maybe he will walk around his neighborhood or some parks, pretty much a day of mental rest.
Now he just wants to try and go to sleep but honestly he doesn't feel sleepy, he knows he can sleep but if he chooses not to it would be just as easy to stay awake.
But sleep sounds nice so he lays his head down on his pillow and tries not to think of the voices he heard today.
Once his conscious flips to unconscious the voices speak once more amongst themselves.
"He knows we are here now", Prophet points out.
"But he hasn't tried to contact us, is it denial?", Alcatraz theorizes
"Possibly, it seems that after he healed he became aware of our conversations or thoughts, sometimes even when we don't want him to hear", Prophet notes.
"He needs to know about us, or hearing our voices will drive him crazy", Alcatraz notes.
"I will bring him to us then", Prophet figures it is better to get it over with.
"NO, let him rest, he needs it", Alcatraz argues.
"Very well, we will give him a little more time". Prophet concedes

Small notes about the chapter and chapters to come, because of Izuku learning about how he got the nanosuit he is now aware of the 2 entities in the nanosuit, or personality files is more accurate description, and can now hear their thoughts in his head, I'll explain it more when the reveal happens probably next chapter.
Also Yaoyorozu likely isn't going to be a love interest she's just shy because she almost 'kissed' Izuku but if the story progresses that way so be it, I write this with key moments in mind but the inbetween is made how I think the characters would do so, or how my version of them would act but I try to be more or less authentic to their original personalities.
Shinso encounter went kinda the same as canon just with added dialogue as well, I almost forgot to add that section so I added it at the last second once I realized before uploading funnily enough.
Finally idk if anyone will not like that I changed Izuku's room but I always felt it was strange how he still kept all of his merch up even after he got to know All Might, so i just lessened the level of stuff he had up but didnt get rid of it completely.
As always I hope you enjoyed and I'll see you again probably in under 3 weeks.
