The Avatar 3 ~ Izuku Midoriya

031

"It's time for the rundown." Mr. Vlad said.

Dad started it off first,

"Uh, let's just start with Midoriya. What was going on with you?"

"Uh- Well..."

"A sinister darkness manifested in you." Tokoyami weirdly explained.

"You were raging out there. Was that your quirk?" Kuroiro asked.

"It may be a new move, but it was different from your normal super strength." Kirishima stated.

"Yeah, you're right. I'm trying to figure put what it was myself. I was overflowing with power and couldn't hd it back. It was like something I'd trusted up until now suddenly bared its fangs at me. I was terrified. I didn't know what was going on. But thanks to Uraraka and Shinso stopping me, I was able to get a handle on things."

I was right! O was trying to help him! I wondered what she told him?

"And I realized that whatever this is, it isn't something I should fear. If Shinso hadn't made me calm down with his Brainwashing, I don't know how things would've gone. Shinso asked if my lack of control was a trick, but I really had no idea what was happening. So thanks to both of you!" Zu told O and Hitoshi.

Zu turned back to face the front and we made eye contact.

I raised my hand and blew him a kiss to which he blushed at and put his head down smiling.

I giggled at his shyness. And I also saw the side eye Sho gave me. I just waved him off.

"What a thrill! When Midoriya went out of control, Shinso did great, but Uraraka's swift response has me overflowing with pride! Putting your body on the line to help a friend is true devotion! Yes! So much passion! I can't stand it!" Midnight praised.

I also made eye contact with O and lightly jumped up and down while clapping.

'You were amazing!' I mouthed to her.

She used her hand to cover her giggle which suddenly went away when Mina started to speak.

"Uraraka, you jumped to him right away and saved the day! You never even hesitated."

"True, I didn't even think twice about butting in. Maybe that means I need to be calmer when fighting? Although, it's probably much better than not doing anything and regretting it later, right?" O asked, playing nervously with her hands.

"You've grown up quite a bit, Uraraka." Dad said.

"Hm?" But she knew what he ment.

"I didn't act out there solely for Midoriya's sake. I just did what Uraraka told me to do. And anyway... I saw Monoma and the others being attacked by the dark energy. I knew our team was going to lose unless somebody responded quickly. You see, I stopped him selfishly. I wanted ti fight Midoriya and win. Everything else was just coincidence. If I'm being honest, it was all I could do to take care of myself and-"

Suddenly, Hitoshi was cut off by Dad using Hitoshi's scarf to stop him from talking.

"Dad!" I gasped and chuckled at the same time.

"No one asked any more than that from you, Shinso. Everyone here has been training for months to become heroes who can save the people of this world. No one can master being a hero right away. Except maybe All Might, but he doesn't count." Dad said.

I giggled.

"Before becoming a pro hero, you have to make sure you're taking care of yourself. Otherwise, you'll fail. If you don't have the power to stand your ground on your own, then you can't protect anyone else. With that in mind, what you showed us was enough to earn a passing grade." Dad continued.

"That's great. But I've still got a ways to go. After fighting everyone today, I understand. I experienced first-hand bow amazing the hero course is. I'm not going to be satisfied by merely passing. I need to work harder and aim higher. And live up to my potential." Hitoshi said.

Is he really going to reject the hero course right now? Ah, can't really blame him.

"That's fine. Go at it with a "Plus Ultra" mentality." Dad told him.

"Yes, sir!"

I slowly walked over and stood behind dad as Zu and O walked closer to us.

"Shinso! At the very end there, you were trying to get me to brawl head on so you could whip out your special combat moves, right? It was crazy how fast you acted to try and stop me with those falling pipes. And you used the binding cloth just like Mr. Aizawa does. Honestly, in the first match, U thought your team did a great job of putting your quirk front and center. But you're definitely more than that power. Your judgment and moves were on par with ours. Watching you hold your own with our classes was so inspiring. I'm blown away! But my quirk didn't hp anyone in the match. In fact, I put people in danger!" Zu said.

"That's a good point." Dad responded.

"We still have much to analyze from these fights. But I'd say, in all probability, Shinso will join the hero course in your second year. Just make sure you don't let him outshine you!" Mr. Vlad said.

"Got it!" Some kids responded.

"Which class will he join?" Kaminari asked.

"A?" Kirishima happily questioned.

"B?" Tetsutetsu also happily questioned.

"The particulars will come later. The training critiques are far from over." Mr. Vlad explained.

"Speaking of which, question! Can you unleash on Mineta from being the absolute worst?" Mina asked.

Totally a valid question.

"Ugh! That whole "smashing into your chest" thing was a lucky accident." Mineta said.

"Gross." I felt dad slowly push me even more behind him.

"Don't forget I put my body on the line to keep Shoda and those girls from strategizing."

"It's true that, in a tragic twist of fate, Class B was defeated today. But! We didn't necessarily lose if you look at what we planned!" Monoma started.

"I'm sorry?" I questioned.

"If I had known that Midoriya's quirk was a blank, then we could have come up with tactics in response." He then pointed to Zu,

"In other words, if we were to fight again right now, there's not telling who would win!" Monoma said.

"That's enough outta you! Today's class is already over!" Mr. Vlad finally shut him down.

But Monoma continued to do is "evil" laugh.

"While we're on the subject of your quirk, Monoma, I have a task for you. Come visit Eri tomorrow."

I gasped, "Can I go too?!"
