Aizawa's Pov:
It's been two weeks since the meeting with Hirasenshi and the other heroes. I'm overlooking the stadium crowded with students for the Sports Festival. Recently, Hirasenshi has been distant with everyone. He zones out in class and then disappears at the end of the day.
All Might intercepted him a week ago to find out what the problem was, but Hirasenshi only said he was tired and preparing for the investigation in Hosu.
He practically vanished for the rest of the week. We only saw him in class. After the information Nezu gleaned from Hirasenshi was shared to me, I've been keeping an eye out for other signs of abuse.
I've never been more horrified. He flinches at any mention of All For One or the League. I've noticed that he always has his guard up, even in sleep. Every few minutes he will check the door and windows. But the thing that truly gets me is his absolutely terrified trembling at the mention of Izuku Midoria.
After seeing this, I've come to the conclusion that Hirasenshi most definitely has met Izuku Midoria. What makes me scared though is that from his reaction, Izuku is either dead or something worse.
If I want to gain Hirasenshi's trust, I'll need to show him that I'm trustworthy. For now, I'll continue to observe him and offer support when he needs it. After all, he's only a fifteen year old child. A problem child.
Just then, Present Mic and Hirasenshi walk into the broadcast room. Hirasenshi takes the seat in the corner with the best view of the stadium and the inside of the room while Present Mic gives Midnight the go ahead to start the festival.
Izuku's Pov:
I make sure to sit in the spot that gives me the best view of the room. Though Mr. Aizawa and I are silent, Present Mic fills in the quiet with ease. I listen to Bakugo's speak about being number one and can't help grinning behind my mask.
Midnight spins the roulette and they get the obstacle race. I watch as Bakugo and Todoroki battle it out for first place. As I'm watching, I can point out many instances where Bakugo or Todoroki could have gained the upper hand. Eventually, Todoroki gains the upper hand and wins the race.
After a short break, Midnight spins the roulette again and it's the cavalry battle. Eventually, Bakugo and his team of Sero, Kirishima, and Kaminari win and take first place with Todoroki's team of Uraraka, Momo, and Iida in second. Shinso being in the third place winning team.
After another intermission and some games, the last round of the Sports Festival starts. I could watch but I'm suddenly getting very tired. I've been completely silent the entire festival, alone with my thoughts. I see Shinso win against Ibara before I fall asleep.
Aizawa's Pov:
I watch as Hirasenshi's head falls into his arms on the desk. Slowly, I turn to Mic to see him already looking at me with a serious look.
"Do you think we should really let a fifteen year old go against the League?" Mic asks in a concerned voice.
I wait a moment before answering, "he's already been waging this war all on his own since before we knew of his existence. If we tried to stop him, how do you think he would react?... He sees the League as his enemies, people he has to put a stop to. If he confined him, he would just escape. Not to mention the amount of information he has on the LOV. We need him just as much as he needs us. Right now, the only thing we can do is support him and hope for the best."
"'Hope for the best'? At the rate things are going, I fear the 'best' may not be what we want," Mic laments.
We fall into a deep silence that's only broken by the rush of the cheering crowds down below. I don't pay much attention to the festival since I'm too consumed in my thoughts. Eventually, the sports festival ends with Katsuki Bakugo as the victor.
As All Might is giving out the medals to the first, second, and third place winners, Hirasenshi stirs.
Izuku's Pov:
I wake up and flinch at the loud eruption of cheering. Slowly gathering my bearings, I realize I've fallen in a deep sleep around two heroes.
I should really get more sleep. I've always had nightmares but these last two weeks they were more unsettling. They contained the more gruesome details of my captivity in AFO's base. Things I'd wished would stay there, in the past.
I quickly mask my agitation and stand up.
"See you at Hosu," I just left without looking back.
As I make my way to the entrance of UA, I bump into a large body.
"Tch! Watch where you're going," Endeavor hissed at me.
He takes another look at me before sneering, "what's a pest like you doing in UA?"
I ignore Endeavor's harsh words and try to walk past him. Instead, he grips my shoulder and pulls me back towards him.
Before he can say another word, I have a needle at his throat as I whisper in his ear, "touch me one more time and I'll make sure you never have the chance to make an attempt to grab anyone ever again."
I sneer as I finish, "next time you come across me, show me the same respect you would another hero lest I expose your unsavory home life to the public."
Before Endeavor can blink, I've taken my needle away from his neck and disappeared from the hallway.
