Chapter 125: in Spain without the S

Immediately after the match, I'd been thoroughly dressed down by Aizawa for my unnecessarily rough handling of my opponents.

I suppose I should consider myself lucky that my punishment was just to follow Monoma to Recovery Girl's office.

Right now, I was seated on a chair outside of the office as Recovery Girl worked her magic.

'How long has it been now? Thirty minutes?'

I sighed, leaning forward to stretch my back.

'The rest should have been dismissed by now.'

I reach my hands out in front of me and find myself staring at my palms.

'I wonder what happened...?'

Realistically, it would be the same as me absorbing the energy from a pot of boiling water.

Sure it would be unpleasant to have that sudden intake of energy but...

I couldn't get Monoma's screams out of my mind.

It seemed like every time I touched someone they'd either explode or pass out from pain.

I took in a shaky breath, wrapping my arms around myself.

Had this happened before?

Did I hurt anyone else in the years I can't even remember now?

When my quirk awakened, was I so happy that I ran to hug my parents only to have them pop right in front of my eyes?

Or maybe a beloved pet that I reached to stroke the fur of, only for it to melt into a puddle of bones and blood.

"Maybe this is why past me became a villain..." I muttered to myself.

"Yamada," I jolt upright as I hear someone call my name from somewhere down the hall.

"Einstein," I chuckle nervously as the purple-haired boy walks up to me.

"You're not hurt anywhere right? From uh... dangling," I found it hard to meet his eyes.

"I'm fine," he spoke curtly but it was the same tone he would normally use.

'I guess I should be lucky he isn't angry with me.'

"Mr. Aizawa sent me to check on you and Monoma," he paused before bringing his hand to rub the back of his neck, a shy smile appearing on his lips. "Also I..."

"I got accepted into the hero course."

I jump up from the chair and grab the boy by the shoulders.

"That's awesome Shinso!" I grin so wide my cheeks hurt, "When are you transferring!?"

"Next yea-" "SHHH!!!"

The two of us jumped as Recovery Girl toddled out of her office.

"If you're going to make a fuss, do it somewhere else!" she scolded and we both took turns apologizing to the feisty granny.

"H-How's Monoma?" I ask quickly, both to change the subject and because I was still unsure what state he was in.

"Come see for yourself," she offered, pulling back the sliding doors.

Me and Shinso trailed in, spotting Monoma sitting up in his assigned bed.

"If it isn't my fellow villainous heroes," he proclaimed with his typical dramatic gusto. "The gang's back together it seems!"
