At the end of the day, which was only a couple minutes after Izuku left, Bendy walked to the car along with his sister, waiting for whatever reaction his mother would have to the demon's injuries.

"What happened, Bendy-kun?", his mother asked with intense worry
the moment she saw her son's unmasked face.

The devil chose his words carefully, "My face may have come into contact with a lot of acetone because of my costume. And I may... have not stopped using my costume after I realized it was hurting me.".

Almost as soon as he said this, Momo immediately scolded him, "Acetone is super dangerous, it can severely burn people! You could've gotten seriously hurt! And looking at your face, you did.".

"I know, but I had to get out of that dome I made! I get that I was stupid now, but I... I don't really know, honestly.", Bendy sighed, looking at his reflection in the car window.

His mother sighed, "I for one agree with your sister, Bendy-kun. Do you know what we could do to help? I'm quite sure it's not safe to have no way to completely close your mouth with that hole of yours. Unless you can close your mouth completely and you've been forcing that smile this entire time."

"I've been stuck with this smile for whatever reason, I'm guessing it's because my body is under such stress that my facial muscles froze. But, the nurse said that eating ink helps, which we tested and it worked. I ate something made from my ink and it healed it so I guess we should test that with normal ink, right?", the demon answered, trying to make it seem like the situation was under control.

"Also, I think I'm actually made of ink. We'll need to check that with a doctor, but I don't think it's normal to have ink leak from the spots that were affected by acetone... which is what happened by the way...".

"Well, alright... Just make sure to call for help next time if you're hurting, you are still learning after all. Who knows what would've happened if acetone got in your stomach."

The next day at UA came quickly, and so did the reporters.

"What's it like learning from All Might?!", one reporter asked Midoriya. "Eh?! Ah sorry, I'm due at the nurse's office...", he replied.

"Tell us about 'All Might the Teacher'", another news writer asked Iida.

To which he gladly answered, "Every day with him is a reminder that I'm enrolled at the preeminent educational institution beyond his obvious dignity and presence, he's also quite humorous. As we students are privy to observing his many facets, we've been given the opportunity to discover just what makes a top hero a top hero, also...", with a bit too much detail.

Another interviewer went to Ururaka to ask another question, "Tell us what the symbol of peace looks like in front of the class!", "How he looks?! Um... Super muscly!! Yeah!", she answered.

"When All Might is... Huh?! You're the kid from the sludge incident!!", a journalist commented to Bakugo. "Buzz off", he answered with the opposite of politeness.

"What is All Might like in real life?", a reporter asked Bendy. The devil just looked at her with confusion written all over his face.
