Two days later after the Kamino ward incident & the dormitory implementation act
Denki woke to the soft chattering of two familiar voices in the infirmary.
He blinked groggily, staring at the ceiling, until the curtains around his bed were pulled aside.
Turning his head, he saw Recovery Girl approaching. Her voice was gentle but concerned.
"How are you feeling, Kaminari-Kun?".
Denki stared at her. Just past her shoulder stood a tall, skeletal-looking man with hunched shoulders and blonde hair. His thin arm was wrapped in a sling.
All Might.
Feeling unsure, Denki blinked again and mumbled:
"I dunno... fine, I guess".
Recovery Girl frowned but said nothing. She turned to Yagi Toshinori, who stood nearby in civilian clothes, looking tired and drained—two days into retirement.
Toshinori felt the boy’s gaze and hesitated. How was he supposed to explain that he was All Might? Or used to be? And everything that happened after Denki fainted?
He sighed, glancing at the boy who was still staring blankly at the ceiling.
A soft voice broke the silence.
"Stop it, Stalker-san. Your staring is creeping me out".
Startled, Toshinori met Denki’s tired golden eyes. Recovery Girl let out a soft laugh.
Toshinori walked over and sat on the stool beside the bed, acutely aware of the boy’s calculating gaze.
It reminded him of Principal Nezu’s stare.
"I want to you a secret".
Toshinori said, "About my quirk..and about Midoriya-shounen".
Denki grinned.
"Oh, I'm cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs "
Toshinori smiled and began explaining everything—his quirk, its legacy, and how its current wielder was Izuku Midoriya.
...
A few moments later.
Toshinori felt strangely lighter after sharing the truth. He looked expectantly at the fragile boy, now sitting upright with a stoic expression.
Denki sighed.
"Fine. Your little secret is safe with me.”
Toshinori could only mutter his name. He hadn’t expected that reaction.
Denki laughed.
“Now that that’s out of the way... we’re still coughing-up-blood buddies, right?”
Toshinori smiled.
Then his expression darkened.
“Don’t use the quirk you inherited from All For One. We don’t know how it works—or what it might cost.”
Denki remained unfazed.
“Alright, Stalker-san~ And I don’t even have the slightest intention of using that bastard villain’s quirk.”
