The two days of rest went by pretty fast, considering Jin was preoccupied with rehabilitating Eri. Izuku noted Jin's careful attitude when taking care of Eri and how Nemuri had become pretty comfortable in the household.
The day before Izuku had to return to class, Jin had left Eri in Nemuri's care and went to the roof for a bit of fresh air when he found him training.
Izuku: Oh, hey dad.
Jin: Hey, Zuke...
Jin walked over to the railing and leaned against it. Izuku saw how Jin seemed exhausted and walked over to his father.
Izuku: What's on your mind?
Jin: She's... She's forgotten how to smile, son...
Izuku frowned but tapped his dad on the shoulder and smiled.
Izuku: I didn't know either, so let's help her find a way.
Jin chuckled and stood up straight while he gave Izuku a nod. Jin noticed Izuku's jacket hanging from a chair and picked it up.
Jin: You've been taking good care of this...
Izuku: Yeah. I've actually been meaning to ask you about it.
Jin: Yeah, what's up?
Izuku: It always felt comforting to me for some reason... Like a child's security blanket or something like that...
Jin: Huh... It makes sense, it used to be my everyday jacket.
Izuku: Wait, really?
Jin: Oh yeah, it was the same jacket I covered you with when I found you... so I can see why it feels comforting.
Jin handed Izuku the jacket and smiled.
Jin: All the more reason to take care of it. It's also something to remember me by when you become a famous hero.
Izuku chuckled and shook his head.
Izuku: I couldn't forget you, dad.
The next morning, it had begun to rain and Izuku still rode his bike when he spotted Iida. He had heard what happened about Tensei and his miraculous recovery. Izuku stopped his bike next to Iida.
Izuku: Hey, Iida. Do you need a ride?
Iida graciously accepted and they rode to school and let Iida dismount before he stopped Izuku.
Iida: Please send your father my best regards! Your family has already done so much for me!
Izuku gave Iida a nod and parked his bike before entering classroom 1-A.
He slid the classroom door open and immediately felt all eyes on him, including Todoroki's. He sat at his seat and noticed Izumi staring at him.
Izuku: Something I can help you with, Yagi?
Before she could answer, Aizawa opened the door to the classroom and greeted the class before Izuku's eyes drifted to the rain hitting the window.
Shouta: Carter!
Izuku snapped out of his daydream and back to reality.
Izuku: Uh- Yes, Mr. Aizawa?
Shouta: Make sure you're paying attention because this part's important. Like I said, you are all going to be choosing your hero identities. This is related to the pro-hero draft picks that I mentioned the last time we were in class together.
Shouta: Now here are the totals for those of you who got offers.
Carter: 5231
Todoroki: 3495
