Until I found you...

Chapter 4

Finally, after a few days, Class 1-A was able to retrieve their beloved friend. Now, Midoriya Izuku had returned to UA. At first, the citizens were vehemently against, but Uraraka's remarks eased their wrath and diminished their resistance. Her close friends and family were able to comprehend how she calmed the public and allowed Midoriya to remain at UA. It was possible for Tsuyu-chan to comprehend her emotions. Her affection and protectiveness for Midoriya were present in addition to her love for him. Iida stood beside him, telling him that she is battling for everyone.

"Midoriya Izuku is just a normal high school student who is having a lot of things to learn yet. Please let this be his, Midoriya Izuku's Hero Academia." Uraraka let out a scream, driven by her emotions and her love of seeing people smile.

Since heroes never stop protecting people, Uraraka had often wondered who would step up to save them in times of need. She aspired to be one of those capable of rescuing heroes. She had always witnessed his intense desperation to rescue and assist those in need. Even though they were good friends, she was blind to the magnitude of the burdens he was carrying because he always concealed everything behind a smile.

With tears welling up in his eyes, Deku turned to face Uraraka as she stood at the top of the structure, his heart overflowing with thanks. "Uraraka san!" he exclaimed, breaking down in tears as memories of her assistance flashed through his head.

As Kota-kun and other bystanders rushed to him, they assisted him in stepping back. He assured them that everything they had lost would be returned to them. His worried mother gave him a hug. The parents of Uraraka were extremely proud of their daughter. The civilians' perspective had been altered by what she had done.

When Hawks, Shoto, and Endeavor entered and saw the situation in front of them, they were shocked. Hawks had always imagined a world in which Heroes lived carefree and with lots of spare time.

"In the end, all we did was give Deku some unpleasant experiences." Looking at Deku and the others, Endeavor said. "It merely took him a long distance; it didn't bring any progress." He went on to say.

With his eyes fixed on the Deku and the others, Hawks moved forward. "If it is about development, it is there. It was in this place. The ability to connect generations to generations has been One for All. All Might connected it to Midoriya, Midoriya connected it to Class 1-A, Uravity connected Midoriya to the others, and now... "Hawks stopped and started again. "I'm sure there will be a bright future where Heroes can have all the free time in their hands if everyone keeps caring about others." He finished.

Shoto and Endeavor glanced at Hawks and then each other, deciding to stop Toya/Dabi together.

Deku was later on taken back to the dormitory where the boys forced him to take a proper bath and relax. Once he was fresh, he went to the common room to talk to others, mainly to talk to Uraraka. When asked about her, he was told that she had already fallen asleep. He gave a disappointed look as he really wanted to thank her properly. Everyone was worried about him. Few of them also complained to him as well as All Might that he should properly explain everything and face together rather than leaving everyone and run away on his own. He was so tired that he himself was not aware when he fell asleep on the couch.

He saw something. It was a dream. All for One yelling, "You're next!" his senses triggered the black whip as he gasped in horror and woke up.

"Deku-kun!" he saw Uraraka smiling when he opened his eyes.

"Uraraka san!" he looked at her astonished.

Everyone helped him calm down telling that he is safe here now and that they all are here to help him. He smiled knowing he is not alone anymore. His friends are there. He saw an unfamiliar face. He looked at Fuka who was standing next to Uraraka with a question mark. Uraraka looked a him and then Fuka understanding that he didn't know who she is.
