44: S'mores and Big Brothers

So, there's good news and bad news.

The good news is that Chisaki healed all your injuries, bringing you back to perfect condition. To be honest, you feel better than ever. Even the build-up of muscle tension you used to have has completely disappeared. As you stand, you are the most flawless, high-performing version of yourself. With Chisaki's help, you were able to recover from injuries that would have persisted for the rest of your life. They might have even gotten worse over time. But he saved you. Your big brother saved you, just like he always does.

And now, for the bad news.

The bad news is that, apart from the select few people you've chosen to confide in, no one else is going to understand how the hell you're as good as new.

"[N-Name]! Are you alright?!"

My overwhelming popularity strikes again.

You suppose you're being awfully arrogant this time-even by your standards. Countless of your classmates rush to greet you the moment you enter the classroom, on account of how worried they must have been. Within seconds, you find yourself surrounded. Everyone is fussing over you, praising you for being so brave, and for never giving up. Several students, such as Mina and Hagakure, outright pull you into their arms and refuse to let go. It's still early on in the school year, and most of them don't even know you that well yet, but their concern is the real deal. All of you are training to become heroes together. The many trials and tribulations that await will be shared, as a class. You're all here to support each other. It goes without saying that they're relieved you're okay.

However, there are certain people that pick up on the inconsistencies. Namely, the group that visited you in the infirmary and saw how bad the damage was, firsthand.

"Whoa, wait," Kirishima blinks. "[Name], your scars... they're... they're all gone! And you aren't even limping!"

Mina's brows skyrocket. "She was limping before?!"

"Well, Recovery Girl was saying that her injuries were pretty serious, but... it looks like they've disappeared?"

Kirishima slowly pushes forward to the front of the crowd, along with Uraraka and Iida, who were also there in the infirmary. They take a while to just stare at you in visible disbelief. Kirishima even does what Katsuki did the other day and gently traces his fingers across your skin, checking for scarred tissue.

Now that you think about it, this is going to be pretty difficult to explain.

"What happened?" Iida asks, repeatedly adjusting his glasses. He keeps doing it every few seconds, which is a telltale sign that he's bamboozled.

"Nothing happened," you shrug.

"But... your injuries. They're really all gone?"

"I think Recovery Girl was too hasty with her initial assessment," you try to brush off. "She used her Quirk on me the day after, once I'd gotten some rest, and my body must have reacted to her powers much better that time around. I feel great now, so don't worry!"

They all look very confused, and you can't blame them. Then again, this is hardly an undesirable turn of events. Everyone is so relieved that you're okay that they don't fixate too much on the details. They just assume it must be some kind of miracle, and soon enough, you're being met with applause.

"Alright, let's settle down now," Aizawa eventually instructs. To his credit, he did give everyone a few minutes to celebrate your recovery. He honestly wouldn't have minded if it went on for longer, but regretfully, he's got a class to teach.

You watch as he takes his place at the front of the room. It's so weird to see him without those mummy bandages he was supposed to have at this point. You're glad you were able to mitigate some of the damage. It's a step in the right direction, at least.
