Several days later Izuku woke up in an unfamiliar room. He slowly opened his eyes, staring at the familiar white ceiling. He could also smell the medicine and the feeling from the sheet covering his body.

' hospital? '

After becoming aware of where he is, Izuku then slowly sat on his bed trying to remember what happened right before he passed out. However, since he was unconscious for too long, his body was a bit stiff. His head also felt a little spinning, which made him vaguely remember what happened.

' What happened before? Ouch! my head... '

As Izuku groaned in pain, the door to his room opened and a familiar person entered the room.

" so you're awake "

" Todoroki-san? "

Izuku tries to get out of bed but stops when a headache strikes him again.

" You'd better not move much, do you know how long you have been unconscious? "

" How long? "

"a whole week"

" a-a week?... "

" That's right, we almost thought you were dead back then "

" Wait, if a week has passed, then what about the inauguration?"

" Is that what you worry about as soon as you wake up? "

" Ah... sorry about that "

Seeing Izuku's response to light made Todoroki couldn't help but sigh. Regardless of how he just woke up, the first thing he worries about is work.

' I guess this is what is called workaholism '

" Don't worry about it, we couldn't have held the inauguration without the vice guild master as well as the founder of the guild. "

" Is that so, so... when will it be held? "

"Two days from now"

" I see... "

Todoroki couldn't help but sigh once again at the workaholic in front of him who was thinking about leaving even after he regained consciousness. If no one forced him to rest, he might faint again like last time.

But despite that, Todoroki realizes that there is something different about his best friend, especially in terms of appearance.

" hey Izuku "

" what? "

" I've been curious since just now "

" What is that? "

" What's happened to your hair? "

" What's wrong with my hair? "

" Look at yourself "

Todoroki took a mirror he got from somewhere and handed it to Izuku. Izuku had just received the mirror with a dazed expression, but that expression disappeared as soon as he noticed the change in his appearance.

" W-why is my hair black?... "

Seeing his reaction like that, Todoroki just raised his eyebrows in confusion.

" So you don't know either? I thought you dye it or something "

" You think I can do it while I'm unconscious? "

" Well... You have a point, then is it related to what happened to you in that dungeon? "

Izuku only smiled faintly remembering what happened inside. The memory of what he saw back then flowed back into his head which made his forehead wrinkle with a headache.
