The Day After the Battle Between Izuku and Bakugo

It was the day after Izuku and Bakugo's intense battle. No one knew what had transpired between them, but the fallout was already making itself known. Izuku's roommates—Todoroki, Tokoyami, and Koda—were in a panic. He had vanished, and no one had seen him since the night before. Joining their search were Tsuyu, Jiro, and Toru, as well as Aizawa and All Might, who were equally alarmed by his absence.

The Night Before

It was 11:30 PM when Izuku's roommates realized something was wrong. He had told them earlier he was going for a walk to clear his mind, but he hadn’t returned. After waiting for hours, anxiety took over.

“We should check the beach,” Koda suggested. The others agreed, hoping to find Izuku there. But when they arrived, the beach was empty. No sign of their friend. Growing more worried, they decided to involve the girls in the search.

Todoroki knocked on the girls' door, and Tsuyu answered, her face showing surprise at seeing all of them this late. "What's up, guys? Did something happen?" she asked, her eyes scanning their concerned faces.

Todoroki didn’t waste time. “We can’t find Izuku. He said he was going for a walk but hasn’t come back. We’re worried.”

Tsuyu’s eyes widened. "What? That's not like him. Let's look for him. He could be in trouble."

The group split into pairs and spread across the beach. Todoroki and Tsuyu headed towards the cliffs, while Tokoyami and Jiro searched the boardwalk. Koda and Toru combed the shoreline, calling Izuku’s name into the night.

As the moonlight cast eerie shadows over the sand, Todoroki and Tsuyu stumbled upon a horrifying scene. The sea had frozen solid, stained with blood, yet there was no one in sight.

Their hearts raced as they called the others. Soon, the whole group stood before the chilling scene, staring in disbelief.

“This isn’t good,” Todoroki muttered, his mind racing with possibilities.

Koda, unable to shake his mounting dread, immediately called Aizawa and All Might.

When Aizawa and All Might arrived, they examined the frozen sea and the blood-stained ice with grim expressions. Aizawa's sharp eyes took in every detail, while All Might’s presence brought a fragile sense of reassurance.

“What the hell happened here?” Aizawa whispered under his breath.

The students huddled together, their faces pale with fear. All except for one—Bakugo. His eyes widened as he recognized the spot. It was where he had left Izuku, after mercilessly beating him into unconsciousness. His stomach twisted in fear, but he hid it well, clenching his fists to keep his composure.

“Everyone, spread out and search for clues,” Aizawa ordered, his voice steady but urgent.

The students obeyed, splitting off in different directions. The air was thick with tension, their movements slow and unsure as they tried to process the terrifying scene before them.

Tokoyami, however, wasn’t focused on the search. His eyes had drifted to Bakugo. Something about his expression—strained and panicked—set off alarm bells. The pieces began falling into place.
