The Line Between Light And Dark

Ch 21. Death

Warning: Character Death!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Alright, now since your internships have finished we need to discuss the final exam for your first term." Aizawa stated and nearly everyone, including Izuku, groaned at the thought of a exam of all things." It's going to be held tomorrow and your to wear your Hero Costume during the exam, is that understood?"

The class nodded and Izuku just bit his lip, wondering what kind of exam would require his Hero Costume. Likely a combat, rescue, or stealth type exam, but that was a very broad range of possibilities. To be honest he had an unfair advantage compared to the rest of his classmates, since his Quirk could specialize in all three types of Heroics if he wanted to.

He didn't have a limit like the others did, sure he had a self-imposed limit in order to prevent...bad things from happening. However it wasn't a built in limit, he hoped he would damage his classmate's chances in the exam.

'Oh my god, stop worrying!' Santou growled in his head and Izuku winced, his friend was very much taking responsibility on making sure he worried about things less.

'Sorry, Santou...my brain thinks to much sometimes.' Izuku replied with a mental chuckle.

'I am very much aware of this, I literally live inside your head.' Santou commented and Izuku just rolled his eyes, earning a few confused expressions from his classmates.' Pay attention to your teacher, he's giving you the Dad-look.'

Izuku blinked, what the hell was a Dad-look and what did it have to do with Aizawa. He glanced up and paled at the disappointed and irritated expression on his teachers face, oh fuck, he was so getting a talking too later after school. He ducked his head and Aizawa sighed, before continuing to explain things.

When the class ended, as suspected, he was told to stay behind by Aizawa.

He made his way to the teachers desk, shifting nervously and trying to focus on anything but worrying about what his teacher would say about not listening to the lesson. However to his surprise when they spoke, it wasn't about that at all.

"Midoriya, I have some...bad news, Yagi has been hospitalized and doesn't have long, according to Recovery Girl." Aizawa said and Izuku's world began to tilt, his heart rate picking up as he tried to process these words." They want you to go and potentially say your goodbyes."

Izuku shook his head, denial rising upwards like a flood.

"No, no...your lying, Yagi isn't dying!" Izuku snarled, red lightning flaring to life around him and immediately Aizawa's Quirk activated and it disappeared once more." Your lying, your fucking lying!"

"Midoriya, I understand your upset...but this would have happened at some point regardless." Aizawa said softly, coming around the desk and bringing him into a tight hug." The man lost several organs in his last fight against you, he's been weaken for a long long time...you know this."

Guilt surged inside him like a tsunami and he collapsed, if Aizawa hadn't been holding him he would have been on the floor. Tears rolled down his cheeks and he let out a cry of anguish, realizing that he was the cause of Yagi dying...just like how he was the reason Yoichi died.

Why did his family keep having to die, why was he the cause of it, every single time?

It wasn't fair, why did he have to keep suffering. He'd stopped being a Villain, he was helping people now...but life was throwing him on an uncontrollable roller-coaster ride, with a cliff at the end of said ride. Cause if this kept happening, then that is where he would be heading, straight off a fucking a cliff.
