A Heroic Heart and Tired One Too (Discontinued)

6: U.S.J Incident

---------------------Chapter Start---------------------------------------------

"Gisheikyo, you dont look too pleased about going to train at the U.S.J." Asui points out. Rather I look rather annoyed cause I was expecting a low octane day where I could nap during class. I tell them such and I hoped they leave it at that.

"Well, if you're so sleepy all the time, why even try to become a hero huh? Why not be something like a libra-"

Kaminari stops himself before he could continue since he saw my death glare. I yawned before deciding to take a nap. Asui commented that I could be as scary as Bakugou when I tried. Eventually, I began to zone out and sleep, with my head tilting and eventually leaning on something or rather someone. What feels like a few seconds pass by and eventually the bus comes to a stop, to which I sit upright, somewhat drowsy.

"About time you woke up, Gisheikyo! I didn't think Midoriya's face could get any redder!" Hagakure joked. I shrugged saying that I didn't know what they were talking about. It was then that Tokoyami plainly stated I had fallen asleep and Midoriya was the one I rested my head on. I turned to Midoriya and apologized to her.

"N-No! It's okay! I-I d-dont mind!" Midoriya says with steam practically coming out of her head and waving me off. I shrugged and we all entered the U.S.J. We met up with the Pro Hero, Thirteen. They explained the gist of how we would be going through some rescue simulations, since hero work isn't all combat. The explanation continued but I couldn't help but notice some black dot a little bit away from here. I yawn and rubbed my eyes thinking it was just something I was imagining, considering I could have sworn it got bigger. And then someone climbed through the portal. Well shit. Aizawa rushes forward and begins dealing with the villains.

"We can't just let Aizawa sensei fight by himself!" Midoriya says, about to try and go fight. I grab her arm, stopping her.

"Midoriya think rationally here! This is Eraserhead we're talking about. He'll be okay." I say, which causes her to calm down.

"Greetings. We are the League of Villains." the mist guy says. I reacted quickly by shooting out a wave of heat from my hand, aimed at him. He just warps his body to dodge it and continued speaking.

"As expected from a student from the Hero Course. Forgive our intrusion, but today, we've come to U.A, a beacon of heroism . . . To extinguish the Symbol of Peace." He says. This elicits a reaction from Bakugou and Kirishima, attacking the villain to no avail. Thirteen tells them to get back, but it's too late. I began charging up another attack when the mist guy speaks again.

"Regardless my role stays the same." he says, the purple smoke stuff swirling around us and consuming us. Before I know it, I've landed with Todoroki. He holds out a hand to help me up and I take it, with him helping me to my feet.

"Gisheikyo, was it? Your quirk is Absorb right?"

"And yours is Half Hot and Half Cold. Mine almost sounds pathetic in comparison." I say.

"No, it has its uses. Can you thin the air and lower the temperature around us?" Todoroki asks. I nod and begin doing so. Right on queue, villains surround us.

"Is the temp low enough for you?" I asked as they got closer.

"Yeah. Sorry about what happens next." He says, as ice suddenly shoots out and covers the villains, freezing them solid. And me by extension. I can see why he wanted me to absorb some heat for myself to use to thaw off the ice.

"It's all good. Way to take 'em all out in one go." I say raising a hand. He gets what I'm saying and returns the hi-five before saying we should head to help out the others. We exit the Landslide zone and see that All Might got here. I feel a little relived at his appearance knowing that we'll be okay. Then I see Midoriya is here too, and some huge monster is about to attack her. I don't know what came over me but at that moment, my body moved on its own. I used some of the air I absorbed to dash and propel myself forward.

"Gisheikyo, wait!" Todoroki said trying to stop.

I applied as much heat as I had absorbed in my right arm. Not good enough, I need to make it hotter. Hot enough to burn that thing as soon as I touch it! It began burning through the protective glove and setting it ablaze. My hand and gauntlet were ablaze as I got closer.

"HANG ON MIDORIYA!" I yelled, rushing forward. The monster notices me and I swing downward on it with my burning fist, searing part of the monsters face. It connects and it lets go of Midoriya before swinging at me, connecting with my midsection. I felt something crack as I was sent flying into the water. Steam put out the flame covering my arm and blood began to bubble from my mouth as pushed myself up weakly.

"~cough~ ~cough~ Fuuuuck, that hurt." I said, clutching my side. All Might was currently dealing with the Nomu, so that's a relief.

"Gisheikyo! Im sorry, it's all might fault your hurt . . ." Midoriya said coming into view. I stood up weakly and tried to wave her off to which she immediately went to my left side and helped me to stand just in time for All Might to Scoop us all up and keep us and Aizawa somewhere safe. I couldn't concentrate as the pain was causing me to zone out and everything was beginning to get fuzzy. Midoriya continued to fawn and worry over me and I told her I'd be fine.

"I'll be okay, Midoriya. Go help out the others."

"Gisheikyo, I-"

"I'll be fine."

Midoriya looks at me before wiping away some tears, shaking her head and gaining a new determined look.

"Asui, Mineta please keep Aizawa and Gisheikyo safe!" Midoriya yelled as she ran off. I couldn't help but feel a smile form on my face despite her courage still go on and fight. Maybe I do underestimate her. A nap couldn't hurt right now. I'll be fine anyways.
