9 Aftermath (1/2)

After Izuku woke up, he went to Edgeshot to check his pulse.

He is still alive. That's good. But where did everyone go?

”Oi kid. Glad you are back.” murmured Edgeshot.

”Sir Edgeshot! What happened?!” asked Izuku.

Edgeshot stood up while holding his chest. ”Your quirk kid.. It suddenly awakened and went on a rampage.”

My quirk? The gamer? No. That black thing came out again?

”Did you fight with it sir Edgeshot?” asked Izuku.

”Yes, I've suffered a defeat at the hands of the monster. It was a black creature without a face. But I am sure that you have already seen it, haven't you?” asked Edgeshot.

For a second, Izuku wasn't sure how to respond.

Should I tell him about it or not?

”Don't worry kid. Your secret is safe. Principal Nezu was also injured, but he is a good guy and he tried to help you.”

Is that so.. Alright then. I won't talk about my gamer quirk since no one would believe me anyway.

That black thing is a perfect cover.

”The first time I've seen the thing was when I was 5. I was just a small kid and didn't know what to do. Luckily, the monster didn't manage to hurt anyone.” said Izuku.

”Is that so..”

”Oh! How is Kacchan?! Was she hurt?.” asked Izuku.

”Kacchan? Who is that?”

”Katsuro Bakugo.” Replied Izuku.

”Oh.. The unconscious girl. Don't worry. She is fine. Midnight used her quirk and subdued her explosion. What, is she your girlfriend?” laughed Edgeshot.

”N-No. Just my only friend.” replied Izuku.

Damn this kid is a poor guy. If I had no friends his age I would probably collapse and cry in the pillow every day. Well, it's not like I had that many friends anyway.

”How foolish to have friends and lovers. I pursue the path of the ninja. Bonds would eventually break and your friends will betray you.”

”Like I saaaid, she isn't my girlfriend!!” shouted the embarrassed Izuku.

”Anyway, your teacher and principal are also fine. But they are really worried about you. You should probably go out and show yourself haha.” laughed Edgeshot.

”It's not like I can leave you here in this state, besides, it was my fault that you got hurt.” said Izuku as he picked him up and placed Edgeshot's arm around his own shoulder.

”Hah. To think that I would be carried by a kid one day. How shameful.” said Edgeshot.

”Injured people are the top priority!” replied Izuku.

”I am a ninja prodigy. I just miscalculated. Your quirk is too strong. Be careful with it.” said Edgeshot

Izuku clenched his fists and said, ”I will only use it to save people. You can count on me! Also, I am thinking of attending U.A. after I graduate from junior high.”

”There is a high possibility that you will get in through the recommendation.” said Edgeshot.

Izuku tilted his head ans asked, ”What do you mean by that?”

”Nezu will definitely not let you go after this incident. He is like a mad scientist, and once he saw that you have a quirk that was unheard of, it was already too late haha.” laughed Edgeshot.

”I see. I am extremely glad that he took interest in my quirk, but I want to get there by my own efforts. So tell Nezu, that I will climb there myself okay?”

Edgeshot looked at the determination in his eyes and thought.

He will become a great hero.

Both of them left the building and arrived in the school garden.

2 medics saw them and ran up to them.
