The team arrived back with the group and Katsuki got dogpiled by Eevee and Izuku, causing him to flush red at the public affection. "Oi, fluff heads, get off me!" He yelled, and the others were laughing at the vulnerable display.
"Sorry, Kacchan." Izuku laughed before looking serious. "How is your arm?" Izuku asked and removed the glove from Katsuki's left hand. He could see a bruise right in the middle of it, and he grimaced. "That looks painful."
"Fuck, it hurts like hell, but I didn't think it would create a mark this nasty," Katsuki muttered and flinched as he tried to make a fist. At least he was regaining feeling in his arm, but the strength is still shit.
"The hand is one of the most sensitive areas, so the bruising of that color and size is to be expected." Aurora said and she chuckled nervously under the blonde's gaze. "You will be back to normal in another hour, but the bruising will need to heal naturally."
"Miss Aurora, we should get you to Recovery Girl. Your arm-" Tokoyami started but the Dragoness cut him off.
"Awww, I'll be fine! I want to watch the rest of the training!" Aurora tried to waive off with her other hand and gave the signature smile. "It doesn't hurt as much so I can wait until later."
Katsuki deadpanned and walked toward the dragon-scaled teen and gave her forearm a flick. The reaction was instant as she flinched and squeaked in pain, then gave the explosive blonde an angry whine.
"You can wait, my ass. You just took a blast that equals 1 ton of TNT, we need to make sure none of your arteries are nicked or have any severe broken bones." Katsuki glared at her, trying to break her stubbornness. "My first blast broke my arm in 4 places and I couldn't feel my right hand for a month. You Dragneel may be tough, but there is so much you can ignore. This is not one of them."
Aurora was about to argue against the pomeranian but she instead squeaked again when Katsuki picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. "Hey, put me down baka! I said I was fine!!"
"Either you come quietly or I'll drag you by your tail, Scales! Your choice!!"
"Don't you dare touch my tai-eeep!" Aurora became still as he touched the base of her tail, and like a cat, became immobilized. Katsuki smirked in triumph and carried her out of the room. He knew exactly where to press as he had to do that to Eevee when she wouldn't calm down a few months ago. "Featherbrain, let's go, we need to make sure you are ok after that shockwave, and to keep Scales in check."
"I agree, Dark Shadow is quite shaken." Tokoyami replied and his feathers ruffled unconsciously. "For more reasons than one."
Iida walked in and everyone else was asking if he was alright as well. "I am fine, I was away from the situation." He said, then looked down in frustration. "However, this is the second time I watched a student get hurt. How am I supposed to be a Hero if I can't help?"
Eevee looked surprised at the change from the Iida at the exam. "You aren't a Hero yet, Ro-Iida. We are here to become one, and sometimes we may have to deviate outside of what we originally learned from home to see the real world."
Iida looked at the Eevette and contemplated her words. "Thank you, and I will work hard to break my original barriers. I pray that next time I know what to do before it happens again." Iida said and hunched over a bit. "I hope Dragneel and Tokoyami will be alright."
"Well, for now let Recovery Girl take care of them. Otherwise she will tear me to shreds." All Might said and he visibly shuddered, surprising the class except for two. Izuku and Eevee shuddered as they remembered Recovery Girl fussing over them after the exam. She had forced Eevee into an ice bath to cool herself down and Izuku was jabbed with calorie fluids.
