Izuku POV

**Right after the Meeting**

It was as if a weight was keeping my head down. The weight of guilt. The moment I realized that Mirio and I had let a girl return back to a villian... back to torture... to be experimented on in horrible ways... there's no way the heaviness wouldn't feel real. My eyes burned, I couldn't blink, the room felt empty the rest of the meeting. One thought kept passing my mind.

I failed.

'Some greatest hero in the world I could ever be. What was I thinking? Those bandages were way to severe to be normal injuries. I get why Mirio said what he said, to not cause a scene and risk them getting away, but how is this much better now that we know what's happening to her? If only I hadn't let go... she would have been saved...'

Before I knew it the meeting was over, my final words in the meeting matching Mirios, the only time we had looked up after realizing what we have to do.

"Next time for sure! We'll save her!"

'Of course that's what I said. And I will save her. I will not let the power All Might gave me be wasted on someone who can't save a single girl!'

Before I knew it I was downstairs in the lobby with The Big Three, Uraraka-san, Kirishima, and Asui.  Once again the weight fell down to my knees and I couldn't look up. Everything kind of felt distant. I vaguely heard Mirio describing what happened with Eri. I heard Kirishima say something to me but it didn't process. One thing I did hear, clear as day, through the water filled reality I was currently in.....

"Deku..."

I winced at that. I didn't mean too, but it was as if I was hit by a train. She has to be disappointed in me. I told her I was going to be a great hero, that I would be one of the best. I let a little girl go. I failed to save her. How could I face Uraraka now?

Eventually Aizawa came down to speak to us.

"I came to speak to you guys about ending your work studies a little bit earlier than planned... today if possible." Aizawa Sensei stated. My head shot up. I felt my eyes widen. I felt the blood rush back to my head from moving to quickly.

"BUT WE CAN'T JUST STOP NOW, NOT AFTER HEARING THAT!" Kirishima yelled, standing from his seat.  My chest tightened. It felt as though the world was tearing at my spirit, trying to prove I wasn't worthy as a hero, to show me that I failed, and I wouldn't even get the chance to change it.

"Unfortunately the League of Villain's may be a factor in this, and that makes this more dangerous than it already was," Aizawa stated. "and Midoryia... you haven't properly gained my trust back after your stunt in Kamino."

I felt my eyes grow even larger. Of course I wouldn't be allowed to go. I've already proven to the Pros I'm reckless. My actions from before are coming back to bite me in the worst possible way.

No. I refuse, I need to go, I HAVE to save her. But I promised Asui I wouldn't do anything reckless again. I also know If I go against the system again I'll be kicked out of UA. Will I be able to get into another school? It doesn't matter, I have to go, I have to sa-
