Dumb Luck

Chapter 21: Fearful Showcase

...

"I have some boredom to cure"
Midoriya said, running away from the scene straight to Aizawa.
Sero just shrugged his shoulders and walked off in the opposite direction, headed for the exit located in the USJ.

Aizawa fought perilously against the hundreds of thugs that circled him. They attacked him one at a time, charging in at him only to be quickly knocked out.
His eyes were getting dry and he could feel the exhaustion beginning to settle in.

"Where is all might??!"
Shigaraki hissed, scratching his neck.
Kurogiri appeared by his side, "...it appears he didn't show up"

"What!? He was supposed to be here!"

"That's not our only issue... One of the students escaped"

"You had one job!? Tch!
We're not leaving here without leaving something of significance"
Shigaraki said, looking at eraserhead who was easily winning every fight.
"Nomu.
Attack him"
Shigaraki pointed to eraserhead.
The Nomu charged straight for Aizawa, running at incredible speeds.
Aizawa felt fear shoot through his veins, his mouth ran dry as he threw his hands up towards the beast ready to fight it.
The Nomu raised its hand up, ready to strike Aizawa when suddenly Aizawa was quickly grabbed and dragged away from the scene.
Aizawa lifted his head to see who dragged him away and only saw a cloaked figure, which only sent more adrenaline through his system for a reason he couldn't understand nor put his finger on.
"Who are you?!"
He screamed.

"It's me Midoriya"
Midoriya smiled, turning his head to face Aizawa who looked distraught.
"Midoriya?! You were supposed to escape with the class what happened??"
Aizawa shouted.

"Oh, the warp guy warped us away before we could.
I'm here because that creature looked like it was going to kill you"
Midoriya explained, dropping Aizawa and standing between him and the Nomu that charged straight ahead.

"Midoriya you're going to be hurt! Run away now!"

"Me? Get hurt?"
Midoriya chuckled, turning around to face Aizawa while effortlessly dodging the Nomu's attack.
"You forget I'm lucky"

Aizawa paused, it felt as though time had slowed down.
"Something is odd. This scene is familiar for some reason that I can't understand... Like my brain isn't allowing me to.
The way he's able to dodge the creature's attacks without even needing to see it... His quirk is amazing"
He thought to himself, unable to place his finger as to why Midoriya's ability was oddly familiar to him.
He would never be able to either.

Midoriya dodged every attack and jumped up above the Nomu onto it's shoulder, he then grabbed it's neck and choke slammed it onto the ground.
It was a striking sight to see as the Nomu was basically twice Midoriya's size.
The Nomu laid there, passed out.
He looked over at Shigaraki who looked beyond confused, he smiled and turned to face Aizawa. "See? Now, we should get going before that thing wakes up again. Something tells me it won't be down for long"
Midoriya said, running over to him.

"I understand that your quirk protects you but I have to ask if you to not do that ever again or you'll get in trouble."
Aizawa warned, running alongside Midoriya away from the scene.
"Could I ask why?"
Midoriya asked, curious to see his reasoning.

"It's dangerous and I should be the one protecting you as your teacher, not the other way around"
Aizawa replied.

"I have no danger in life. Nothing I could ever do will result in me getting hurt, no matter what it is. That's just how my quirk works."
Midoriya sighed, a bit annoyed.

"that may be true for now but one day you'll find the limit to your quirk and when that day comes you'll be seriously hurt"

"fine fine, I won't do it again"
"not like I was ever going to save you again. I only saved you now for the fun that'll spawn later"
Midoriya thought to himself, smiling and pulling down his cloak.
When they made it far up the stairs they saw the Nomu slowly getting up again. The class was already out and evacuated, having been able to leave since Iida made an escape to go get help.
Shigaraki had already commanded for all the thugs to be warped away, all that was left was himself, Kurogiri, and the Nomu.
The Nomu lifted it's head up and locked eyes with Midoriya and then Aizawa.
It screamed and began charging straight for them.
