The Jump

Chapter 5 - Resurface

Aizawa POV

I step into my classroom and see that everyone has the "So what happened?" face going on. I sigh and step up to the podium, and say "an investigation is being conducted. I'll tell you the results as soon as I can." I look around to see everyone having a worried expression on their face.

Except for Todoroki and Ochaco, who had a more sour expression.

"Now let's start class."

Izuku POV

Timeskip a couple of hours

"GUHH" I bellow as I grab onto the branch of a tree nearby. 'Fuck, I almost died with that one' I thought to myself.

Flashback to the jump

I feel free, I feel like I'm falling out of a grip, out of a grip that held on so long. I opened my eyes, I jumped out of the helicopter. Out of the cage, now what? Now, do I accept my fate and make way for the beyond?

I close my eyes for a moment.

"No"

"No!"

"NO!"

"I can't die here! I still have to protect the defenseless! And and... If society doesn't accept me as a hero... I'll become a vigilante."

At that moment I felt something click in the back of my spine, and I started to analyze my situation before coming to the gamble of a solution. "Use the cuffs..." I said as I slowly turned my body, "to break... THE FALLLLLLL!!!!!" I screamed and then impacted the water.

End of flashback

"I can't believe that worked," I said to myself as I looked at my hands. The shackles were obliterated by the impact, I then collapsed on the ground, realizing that I haven't even eaten breakfast yet and it's midnight.

I slowly get up and walk to a berry bush, proceeding to devour it like there is no tomorrow. I then climbed a tree and went to sleep, because I couldn't stand to think anymore today.

--A nap later--

'Alright,' I said as I cracked my fingers. 'First, find civilization, second get a change of clothes' he said as he noticed he still had his inmate clothing on.

After an hour walk or so, I find an abandoned wood cabin hidden by the foliage. I take a look inside to see a laptop. May it be an oldie, it was the best thing I could hope for. Searching a bit more, I found a post-it note with the code and a battery source for what seems to be a generator.

After a bit of research online, I used some leftover wires and transformers to use the big battery as a charging station. Whoever used this cabin must have been an engineer or electrician.

I also looked in the mirror to see that I had a white strand of hair on my head. "Huh," I said to myself, "I hear stress gives you white hair, but to think this much." I pause for a second "Well anyways, I don't think I could have been more stressed than in that situation. This will contribute nicely to my fake Identity."

After discarding his jumpsuit and putting on some clothes I found that were somehow in alright condition. I looked at the map and decided to first get some income.

"Eastward, Hosu city"
