It's been a week since the raid party had come back to the dorms, tired but elated at their accomplishment. How could they not be happy, they all participated in taking down a major villain and saved an adorable little girl in the process, though they all agreed most of the credit went to their shy classmate.  Though thinking of him got most of the class worried, the shy boy has not been himself and even some of the teachers are starting to notice this.

The quirk inheritor has been like a man possessed this past week, working his body to the limit and beyond all the time, even in class he could be spotted with a forearm grip enhancer in one hand while he took his extensive notes. What worried everyone was the fact he didn't seem like he was resting, the bags under his eyes were starting to become noticable and his hair had lost a bit of its fluffiness. The green bean was coming in late every night just right before curfew looking like he lost a tag team fight with a fire hydrant and tornado with how soaked and ragged he looked.

It was currently friday afternoon and the class had a small meeting after Midoriya left to resume his workout though the main ones voicing their concerns were the 'dekusquad' members while the rest just looked a tense besides Bakugo who just looked like someone shoved a lemon down his throat and told him to say something nice.

"Guys im getting really worried for Midoriya, we need to talk to him about whatever is eating at him." The classes resident robot exclaimed in worry for his close friend his normal movements non-existent at the moment, 'You know it's real when Iida isn't choppin the air like its going out of style' Mina quipped inside her head, her normal grin only a small smile as she balanced on her crutches with some difficulty. She had noticed along with everyone how the greenette was closing himself off from everyone and throwing himself with a super powered jump into the storm that was his workout routine on steroids, what already looked like a body breaking exercise set to most was now doubly if not more so and it scared her if the acid girl was to be honest.

Mina had seen Midoriya more often than the others because she was in the common room more than everyone with her injury and was one of the last ones to bed so she caught him whenever he stumbled in the front door, but didnt say anything because he didn't want her help, this proven earlier this week when she offered it and he snapped at her while hanging off the wall, his words sharp, echoing in her mind, "I-I-I dont n-need your help Ashido-san! Just l-leave me alone." Though his normal stutter was there, the warm and welcome tone was long gone and his eyes though half-lidded were sharp and filled with a somewhat manic determination, though for what she didn't understand.

Realizing that they had been talking while she had that inner monologue the horned girl tuned back into the conversation, "-elling you guys, if he doesn't rest soon he might really damage his body again, he started his crazy new routine right after he got back from the hospital! he wasn't done recovering from his torn muscles!" came the manly shout from Kirishima his voice harder than his skin could turn, though laced with worry for his friend. Everyone looked a bit downcast before Tsuyu croaked, "I say we confront him tonight and try to get him to stop, and if he won't listen we get Aizawa-sensei involved kero."
