This time I will protect them I won't be a coward

'Shit shit why did he have to bring everyone's attention to him. Like some kind of attention seeker. He was not  Bakugou Katsuki damnit!'.

Denki now moves away from Midoriya and stares at Togata senpai with intense glowing yellow eyes.

Togata gulps the lump down his throat. He swears he just saw the boy's eye colour change from the dull yellow to a beautiful vibrant shade of yellow.

"Only time will tell that sensei" says a tired Denki softly.

'Huh why did he just say that?'.

Should he have said y'all I have time traveled back and this Hercules dude is going to lose his quirk later on and Sir Nighteye's is a dickhead to Izuku Midoriya. Then have the Hero Commission agents barraging into UA and pointing their laser guns beams at him and making him confess everything in the black cold interrogation room while whipping him every single time he lied or torturing him with some mind quirk to reveal everything. They definitely have a mind quirk user among them. He knew about it through his mom who used to tell him about her heroic adventures when he was a little kid and then they would kick him into a lower level cell and lock him up in  Tartarus jail forever while All For One cackles from his nearby cell evilly at Denki and he would be forgotten by everyone. To be honest, he doubted if his future friends ever did consider him their true friend. They mostly called a coward or a loser who could not control his quirk properly in the future and would always go into whey mode whenever he tried to understand how his quirk worked. Seriously Denki needed to stay low for now.

And why the hell was he getting these dark thoughts out of the blue. Should he give up on saving his friends. Why is he self doubting himself since he managed to come this far with his own hard work!?.

Denki shakes his head wildly and  starts coughing more blood into his hands.

'Ouch that hurts'.

Midoriya, Iida, Uraraka and Kirishima being the closest to him scream his name, "Kaminari-kun!".

Kirishima being nearest to the boy holds his hand. Denki's head was swimming with the sound of the ocean waves clashing once again.

Then, he hears the creepy voice echoing quietly in his head, 'One month before the full moon. Start healing the people on the verge of dying or start accepting your fate little lamb~'.

'Stop speaking to me!' replies back a irritated Denki.

After some time the voice replies back  before going quiet.

'How about NO~". The voice says in a calming way but with a deadly edge of a warning not to defy it.

Denki now shuts his eyes tightly as the  pain was too intense and his anxiety was coming back full on. He needed to lie down.

Denki hears his friends asking something to Aizawa sensei who gives them permission with a nod of his head.

Denki slightly opens his eyes and sees a scarred hand hesitantly moving towards him. Denki in irritation swat away a worried Midoriya's scarred hand away from him and pushed Kirishima away from him.

Both boys look at Denki in worry as he tries to  in a sluggish manner stand on his own feet only to wobble slightly and wipes his face with his hands only to smear his face with blood with more blood. So in irritation Denki pulls out Iida's napkin and rubs his face to remove the blood aggressively now.

"Kaminari-kun let's get you to Recovery girl" says a worried Midoriya.

Denki instead of replying back to Midoriya. looks at Aizawa sensei and says, "Sensei I can walk on my own accord just fine".

This surprises Aizawa sensei greatly. He knew the boy was in great pain. Shouta could not man handle the fragile child in front of his students.

So Aizawa sensei's eyes moved to his next problem child who nodded back silently at his worried knowing look.

Midoriya slowly walks behind Denki who was already out of the gym.

"Kaminari-kun you okay?".

"Does your throat hurt?".

"Do you need another napkin".

Midoriya was trying very hard to make the fragile boy speak to him but the fragile boy kept on walking ahead of him in silence.

"Kamin-".

"Stop" says a tired voice sharply.

Midoriya immediately shuts his mouth as he sees Denki turning towards him and looking him straight in the eye with cold death eyes.

Both the two friends stare at each other in silence. Then Denki was the first one to speak.

"Ne Izuku-kun is my neck scar that  hideous to look at?" asks Denki coldly

"Excuse me what?" asks back a shock Midoriya.

Denki waits for his Greenette friend's reply with each passing minute he feels disappointed at the lack of the immediate reply which he wanted to hear.

Denki makes a 'tsk' sound and slowly says, "I knew it".

Midoriya realizes his mistake and his eyebrow goes up to the hairline and he nervously says, "No no that's not what you think uhh I damnit I just don't have the right answer to give you!".

"I know" says Denki calmly and turns around to walk towards the infirmary.

Midoriya tries to stop Denki from walking away only to fall face first onto the ground as a single circular sparkling ring appears  round his ankle which causes the poor boy to fall flat on the ground.

'Ouch ouch ouchhh that hurts. Just what is going on in Kaminari-kun's head!?' were the thoughts of a confused Izuku.

Meanwhile,

Togata, Nejire and Tamaki were walking back to their class while discussing about class 1-A, students.

Nejire was very impressed with how Togata  managed to control his strength against Class, 1-A and asked the blonde boy if anyone of the first years caught his eye.

Togata with a look of determination stops walking and stares at his friends and says, "I did actually. They are two who caught my eye. One is the problem child who quickly analysed and understood my fighting technique and the other one is the cutie who beautifully used his quirk to defeat me".

"Cutie?" repeats Nejire as she tilts her head to the side in confusion as if trying to remember if there was anyone by that name in Class 1-A.

"I heard his friends call him Kaminari" whispers a shy Tamaki to his friends.

"Ah so that's the cutie's name. Sir is definitely going to love those two" says a happy Togata who now knew his cutie's surname was Kaminari. He can get more information about his cutis from Aizawa sensei later. But what was more fascinating to Mirio was how oddly Izuku Midoriya's quirk resembled that of All Might.
