My match was next, but the stage was literally obliterated. Cementos needed time to reconstruct it, so Iida, Ochaco, Tsu, Mineta, and I headed for Recovery Girl's temporary office to visit Izuku.

"Izuku/Deku/Midoriya!" We all shouted, busting the door down.

Izuku was sitting upright in one of the beds. Both of his arms were in slings, along with his left leg, which was in a brace. Beside his bed were Recovery Girl and a blonde man in a suit- Wait, that's All Might! I had never seen him in that form before, but I did know about it. Mirai was right, he does look completely different.

"You scared the crap outta me," All Might huffed.

"Are you okay?" I ran over to his bedside, along with my classmates.

"Oh, it's nice to meet you, sir," Ochaco said to All Might.

"Uh, yeah." The blonde nervously sweated, not expecting us to show up so suddenly.

"He's in no state for visitors," Recover Girl asserted.

"Hey you guys," Izuku tiredly smiled. "Shouldn't you be watching the matches?"

"The stage was far too damaged," Iida explained. "They're taking a quick break to repair it now."

"That match was the scariest thing I've ever seen in my life, Midoriya." Mineta shook with fear. "What pro's gonna want a sidekick that hurts himself?"

"Now you're just rubbing salt in his wounds," Tsu argued.

"Yeah, who wants a sidekick that's a weird little pervert?" I scowled, crossing my arms.

"You're much too noisy!" The nurse began to shoo us out. "I know you're worried, but I've got to focus on surgery now."

"Surgery?!"

"Go on- get out of here." We tried to argue, but Recovery Girl wouldn't let us. "Don't worry, just leave it to me."

Before I was out of Izuku's sight, I gave him a soft smile, mouthing the words 'I love you'. He did the same, right as Recovery Girl shut the door on us. He'll pull through. He always does.

It was hard to focus on my battle, but I had to. I didn't really want to fight Iida, considering that he's my friend, but it would be disrespectful of me to not take this match seriously. Okay, Iida's specialty is speed, so I need to go on the defensive. Rendering him unable to move should do the trick.

Just as the match began, Iida shouted, "Recipro... Burst!"

The blue haired boy stopped behind me, grabbing my shoulders.

"Oh, no you don't!" I forced my head backwards, slamming into my opponent's, causing him to loosen his grip.

While he was thinking of his next move, I jumped back, using my ring to create an incision on both of my palms. I only need one, but it's always good to have a backup.

"Blood Whip!" I shouted, as the thick rope extended from my hand, towards Iida.

If I can get a hold on at least one of his legs, then I'll basically secure my victory. He continuously dodged my attempts to capture him, which made me realize that I needed a new strategy. Iida's one of the smartest people in our class, so I need to think of something not even he would expect.

The class rep chased me to the white line, backing me into a corner.

"It's over Tsutsumi!" Iida shouted as he closed the distance.
