"PLEASE HELP ME S..."

[Gamers Mind stabilising users mind.]

*Beep——Beep——Beep*

Kenji and his eyes slowly started fluttering open. It was an unfamiliar celling. White in colour. He looked left and it was an unfamiliar room. White in colour. A window over looking a city. The sky bright blue.

*Beep*

Kenji noticed a heart monitor next to him. Realising he was in hospital, he slouched his head back in disappointment. Disappointment in himself, for being so weak.

??? & ???: K... Kenji?

The voices he heard seemed familiar as he looked to the right of him.

Kenji: Mina? Momo?

The two were right next to him holding his hand. They looked like they didn't sleep for days. Their eyes with bags.

Momo: Oh my god your awake. Kenji!!

Momo latched onto Kenji crying into him. Mina just sat there sobbing into her arms.

Kenji: How long was I out?

???: It been 10 years man.

Mineta then appeared with a bump on his head. Kirishima appearing behind him.

Kirishima: Don't mind him. It's only been a week.

Kenji had a smile on his that there were people that would come to see him while in hospital. In fact it made a tear fall down his eye for some reason. He found it painful to move his body so he fluttered his eyes to get rid of the tear.

Momo: Kenji are you ok?!

Kenji: Your kinda crushing my broken ribs.

Momo quickly threw herself off him which resulted in Kenji laughing in pain.

Kenji: So why are you here Kirishima?

Kirishima: Why wouldn't I come see my best friend before the UA sports festival.

Mineta: You saved me during the entrance exam. So I thought it was only right to stay by you until you woke up. Or died.

Kirishima creating another bump on Minetas head. Mineta holding the top of his head crouching and bending over in pain.

Kenji: Wait wait wait. It's the UA sports festival today?

Kirishima: Yeah. So now you're awake, how about wishing me some good luck hoping I win.

Kenji: No.

Everyone in the room had a sudden shocked face. Kirishima looking a little bit hurt. Kenji was so blunt and serious in his answer.

Kenji: Because I'm going to be winning this festival.

Everyone: Huh?

Kenji: Can everyone leave the room so I can do something quick. This is kinda a private thing.

Momo: What are you going to do?

Kenji: I can't really tell you but I promise I'll meet you outside ok. Good as new in fact.

Everyone seemed reluctant to leave but they didn't want to pry into what Kenji was going to do. So everyone left. Besides Mina. Mina remained seated in a seat. Her head hanging down.

Kenji: Mina are you ok?

Mina lifted her head up and looked into his eyes.

Mina: How could you ask that? Look at you. You almost died and your worried about me. WHY?

Kenji seemed so confused on why she seem so mad. Did he do something wrong? Maybe. Kenji didn't really know.

Kenji: You just look real worried and sad. Did I do something wrong?

Mina: OF COURSE NO...

???: OF COURSE NOT HOW CO...

[Gamers Mind stabilising users mind]

Mina: Kenji? Are you ok?

Kenji: Huh? Oh yeah sorry what were you saying?

Mina had a worried look.

Mina: I'm just worried about you. You seem fine in class, but in the USJ you went from panicked to completely without fear. You saved people with no regards of your own life. Like you didn't care whether you lived or died. I... I'm just scared to lose you.

Kenji saw tears welling up in Minas eyes again. His heart slowly breaking at the thought of hurting her. He didn't know why but he felt something. A feeling?

Kenji: I... I'm sorry. I didn't know it would hurt you like that. I just wanted to try and save the people I care about. But I promise I will not leave anytime soon.

Mina rubbing her eyes of potential tears.

Mina: Promise?

Kenji: Promise.

Kenji said with a big smile. Putting a small smile on Minas face. She quickly stood up out of the chair and stopped in the doorway.

Mina: Okay then see you outside. Kenji.

As she gave him a quick wink and walked out of the room. The way she said his name made his heart beat oddly.

Kenji: Do I have a heart problem? I swear it just stop for a second.

He then looked in front of him and addressed the thing he had been ignoring. The blue screen floating face height.

[32 Defeats yet to copy]

Kenji wasn't surprised by the number. Before he defeated the Nomu it was all the other low tier villains. He couldn't remember any good quirks and he couldn't see any good names. So he cancelled them all as none of the things they had interested him. Until he got to the Nomu page.

[Congratulations on defeating a Upper Tier Nomu.
What would you like to copy:
Quirk: Shock absorption, Super strength, Super regeneration
Body
Memories: Error
Skills: Tap for more
Items: Tap for more
Cancel]

Kenji still remembered the plan he had as he copied Shock absorption and Super regeneration. He didn't take Super strength because of the worry that if he punched something, even with 1 percent he might explode.

[You have copied quirks: Shock absorption and Super regeneration from Nomu. Congratulations.]

[One for all reacting.]

[Absorbing quirks Shock absorption and Super regeneration into One for All.]

[One for All: Shock absorption, Super regeneration. Congratulations.]

Rapidly Kenji and his body healed. All his broken bones fixing and his body going back to the way it was. Though with a few more scars.

Kenji: So I was right. Any quirk I copy from here on out gets adopted into One for all. It a shame it didn't upgrade the quirks though. Shock nullification would have been fun.

Kenji proceeded to break all the casts on his body smashing them together. He then stood up out of the hospital chair. His body sparking with One for all.

Kenji: 50%. That's a nice upgrade. Though Shock absorption will have limits. I'll have to limit myself.

Kenji then dressed in the casual clothes left buy Momo and walked to reception to discharge himself. To say the doctors and nurses were shocked by Kenji and his miraculous recovery was an understatement. Doctors question him and he just dodged the questions, quickly signing out.

After he left the hospital to see Mina, Momo, Kirishima and Mineta waiting outside. All completely shocked on how Kenji was perfectly fine. Walking around as if he didn't get hurt what so ever.

Kirishima: Woah how did you do that?

Mineta: What did you do? Are you Wolverine?

Momo and Mina were just happy Kenji was back up on his feet.

Kenji: It's a secret. But shouldn't we start running before we're late?

Just like that everyone started running to UA for their sports festival. An arc Kenji wasn't willing to miss.
