Book 1: Beyond The Blast (Bkdk)

Aizawa Steps In

The days that followed were a blur of recovery and strategy sessions. Midoriya, confined to the infirmary under Recovery Girl's watchful eye, felt restless. Every creak of the floorboards sent a jolt through him, a reminder of the cloaked figure and the chilling mist quirk. He yearned to train, to push his limits with One For All, but Recovery Girl wouldn't hear of it.
Bakugo, surprisingly, became a regular visitor. He wouldn't stay long, usually muttering something about needing to get back to training and not having time for "hospital visits." But he'd sit by Midoriya's bed for a few uncomfortable minutes, a silent guardian against the growing unease.

One afternoon, while Midoriya was lost in thought, a familiar figure burst through the infirmary door. It was Iida, his normally composed demeanor replaced by a mix of worry and determination.
"Midoriya!" Iida exclaimed, rushing to his bedside. "We heard about what happened in the training room. Are you alright?"
Midoriya offered a weak smile. "I'm getting there, Iida-kun. Thanks for your concern." Iida's brow furrowed. "This villain... they knew about your connection to All For One. How?"

Midoriya hesitated. He hadn't told anyone besides Bakugo about the encounter, fearing their reactions. But seeing Iida's concern, he knew he couldn't keep it a secret any longer. Taking a deep breath, Midoriya recounted the events in the training room, describing the cloaked figure and their chilling words. As he spoke, Iida listened intently, his expression growing serious with each detail.

"This is serious," Iida said once Midoriya finished. "This villain seems to have a lot of information. We need to tell the teachers immediately." Before Midoriya could respond, the door to the infirmary creaked open once more. This time, it was Uraraka, her normally cheerful face etched with worry. "Deku-Kun!" she exclaimed, hurrying over. "I just heard what happened. Are you okay?"

Midoriya felt a warmth bloom in his chest. Despite the growing darkness, having his friends by his side offered a flicker of hope. "I'm fine, Uraraka-san," he said reassuringly. "Thanks for coming."
Uraraka stayed for a while, chatting with Midoriya and Iida. They spoke of their anxieties about the upcoming exams and the villain's attack. Despite the tense situation, a sense of camaraderie filled the room.

When Uraraka eventually left, a heavy silence settled once more. Midoriya knew Iida was right. They couldn't keep the information about the villain and his connection to All For One a secret.
"I agree, Iida-kun," Midoriya finally said. "We need to tell the teachers. Maybe they'll have some idea of what's going on."
Iida nodded solemnly. "Indeed. We can't face this threat alone."

A knock on the door interrupted their conversation. It was Aizawa, his usual stoic expression etched with concern.
"Midoriya," Aizawa said, his voice low. "We need to talk." Midoriya's heart pounded in his chest. This was it. Time to reveal his secret and face the consequences. As Aizawa entered the room, Midoriya took a deep breath, bracing himself for what was to come.
