The lightning bolt directly hits Kirishima, electrocuting him. Pain immediately surges through every inch of his body like a wave of fire. The redhead collapses to the ground, panting heavily, he could still feel the electricity flowing through his bones and every fiber of his muscle was frozen still. The students of Class 1-A had just started their training lesson, and Kirishima was already lying miserably on the ground, defeated.

"Kirishima, I am so sorry," Kaminari says, kneeling beside the half-paralyzed boy.

"It's alright." Kirishima does his best to give Kaminari a reassuring smile. "It was my fault, anyway."

"Why didn't you harden?" Kaminari asks worriedly. "You had plenty of time."

"Um, yeah. Sorry about that." He tries getting up as he slowly gains control over his muscles.

"Why are you apologizing to me?" Kaminari slowly helps Kirishima into a sitting position. "You are the one that got hurt."

"Yeah." Kirishima laughs sheepishly while scratching the back of his neck.

"Kirishima, are you alright?" Ashido's voice calls out. Kirishima turns around to see multiple worried faces of his classmates.

"Yeah, I am fine." They all look at him with concern. Kirishima gives them his biggest smile. "Really guys, I am fine. Just a small slip up."

"That small slip up could have gotten you killed." Aizawa sensei comes from behind his students. "Kaminari, take him to recovery girl and get him checked out."

"Okay." Kaminari helps Kirishima get all the way up. "Are you able to walk?"

"Yeah, sort of..." When Kirishima tries to stand on his own, his legs give out under him. "Or not."

"Just hold on to me, okay?" Kaminari helps Kirishima put his hands over the blonde's shoulders.

"Thanks."

"Let's go."

Kaminari slowly guides the injured boy towards Recovery Girl. As soon as they arrive at the infirmary, Kaminari places Kirishima on one of the white-sheeted beds.

"What happened to him?"

"Um, I kind of electrocuted him." Recovery Girl raises her eyebrows. "It was an accident."

"Alright Kirishima, do you feel extreme pain anywhere?" No response comes from the redhead. "Kirishima?"

A few seconds of silence passes.

"Oh god, is he dead?!" Kaminari starts to panic. "Did I kill my best friend?!"

Recovery Girl goes to check Kirishima's condition. "No, he is just sleeping."

Kaminari lets out a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank god."

"You can go back." Recovery Girl says. "There isn't much you can do here anyway."

"Oh, I see." Kaminari looks at Kirishima. "Um, I will come back to check up on him later."

"Sure."

With that, Kaminari leaves the infirmary and as promised Kaminari does come back to see Kirishima with the Bakusquad, but the redhead was still asleep. Even when some of his other worried classmates had come to visit him, he was still deep in his slumber. Finally, late in the afternoon, Kirishima woke up feeling reenergized, he felt like his brain was back to functioning properly again. He looked around, slightly surprised to see he was in the school infirmary, but quickly recalls what happened earlier.

"When was the last time you slept." A voice asks from beside him, he turns around to see Recovery Girl.

"Um... last night?" He answers nervously. Recovery Girl just stares at him knowingly, daring him to tell her the truth. "Four days ago."
