29 The next day... (2/2)

Denki: Why? I don't want to see the people I care about die.Mirai's death was just the first. Who's next, Kyoka? Damn.I don't know how much I can take.

My thoughts are in such disarray that I didn't notice that someone was following behind me.

[After school]

Midiriya's POV

Midoriya: All Might, have you ever seen someone die in front of your eyes before?

All Might: What brought this on?

Midoriya: Can you answer the question, please?

All Might: Yes. The previous inheritor of One for All was killed in front of my eyes. I'll never forget it and it gives me the strength to carry on my duties as the symbol of peace and make sure that the world has someone to look up to.So, I'll ask you again young Midoriya. What bought this on?

Midoriya: A group of classmates and I went to see this lady and she shared a special machine which allowed our minds to enter a virtual world. It was amazing, being able to fight to our heart's content without worrying about the damage it's going to cause our bodies in the real world and it could change the surroundings whenever it wanted.However, after our match, it seemed an intruder showed up and cause the system to shut down to protect itself.We made our way to the exit only to be met with a powerful opponent that could freeze us all in our place. Then he proceeded to cut Mirai's head off and gouge out his eyeballs.

All Might: You sure he tried to steal his eyes.

Midoriya: I'm positive.

All Might: This may sound harsh, but you will experience loss as a hero. You can't save everyone, you can only help as much as you can.You'll need to get even stronger if you don't want to see a scene like that again.

Midoriya starts to cry screaming All Might as All Might tries to cheer him up.

All Might: Just remember that those who smile are the strongest, after all.
