Izumi: "What was that thing..." she said while sweating and breathing hardly.

The next day

We now see Izuku laying on the couch in his hideout while breathing heavily and covered in bandages.

Izuku POV: "I can't shake this fever... might be out for a few days... I don't have time for this." He thought to himself while sweating.

Eri, who was sitting down watched Izuku with confusion and worry.
