Dead Hero's Heart

Chapter 7

Everyone stared silently at their teacher, afraid to continue with their revolution. Mr Aizawa scoffed. "I don't hear anything". Many students turned to look at the ground, wanting to show their regret for their actions while others stood straight faced. The teacher signed seeing that taking place and sat to his chair.

"I am aware of your disappointment toward the school safety measures. And personally, I don't blame you about that. I, myself, am and think that more things should be done but you have to understand that it is not depended completely up to me. You are not the only ones who have been impacted by Midoriya's death and I can assure you that you are not the only one's who don't want something like that to happen again. But for a whole school policy to change at one department will take time".

The students looked wide eyed at their teacher as small tears formed to the corner of his eyes and he bowed in front of everyone. "I am sorry for not being to protect you as I promised I would! I may not be able to always get you out of the situations unharmed but I swear that I will never let any one of you die!" he was particularly screaming until he reached the end of what he had to say.

Shocked, everyone watched Mr Aizawa cry, showing for the first time weakness. All Might hurried to his side and started patting him lightly on his back. The students turned to look at each other, unsure of what to do in a situation like this one. Then, the class representative, deciding that it was finally time to take up his role again, stood up, stealing the attention of everyone.

"I think that I am talking for everyone when I say this, we are all really sorry for reacting that way. It was unforgivable for heroes in training like us to do so. We now understand the situation that you are at and I have to say that we are all very grateful to have you as a teacher". A chorus of many 'yes' followed after his words and in the lips of the teacher appeared one of the very few real, wholeheartedly smiles he gives. That was enough to make the sober atmosphere that had been created inside the room, dissolve and the class continued on with the lessons, though in the back of All Might mind, there was still something that wasn't adding up.

After school had finished and everyone was sent back to their dorms, the used to be symbol of peace started to chase behind Eraserhead. He needed to ask him something, because he was sure he had felt it, something that to others would have sounded pretty impossible. "Aizawa, wait!" he shouted, catching the attention of the other teacher who stopped moving so he could reach him.

"What is it Toshinori?" he asked the out of breath person in front of him. "How did you do it?". That earned him a strange look and he let out a breath. "The punch. That strength you showcased there was far beyond your usual power". The man shook his head, knowing pretty well what he was trying to imply. "What you are trying to say is impossible" "But you felt that power too. It wasn't yours, it was different. You know whose it was, there is no power like his in the whole planet".

"He is dead. It is impossible for him to have punched the robot. Just accept it, you must have made a mistake". He started to walk again, leaving the other teacher behind, alone with his thoughts. 'This was the power of One for all. I am sure of it'.

Some hours back at the dorm

"This is far from over. We will continue what we were talking about later. For now, let's change topic". She nodded, her face shank deep into the crook of his neck. "How did I end up here?" she asked, her voice soft showing the exhaustion she was feeling, one of the aftermath of Recovery's Girl's Quirk. "You were in a hero exercise with the school, remember? You were fighting robots but you didn't seem pretty up to it. The one attacked you and...".

She signed, her hot breath hitting his skin making him freeze in place. 'God, that feels good'. At that thought his face went completely red and he couldn't had been more thankful that they were in the position they were as she couldn't see his face that way. "And let me guess, you came to save me again, didn't you? You were the boy with the green eyes that I saw!". He laughed awkwardly, trying to regain his composure as soon as he can so she doesn't understand that something was happening.
