The Hero's Hymn

Chapter 43

The next day.

The city is submerged by the chaos for the news of All Might's secret, Khrome's quirk, how violent was the fight, how long it was and how many people was saved. Unfortunately, there are also insults and bad words about the heroine Belial and how she handled the fight. Even Khrome isn't spared by such malice. The priestess is treated in the island, and as soon Lenka, Tenka, Joel and Shuu are able to move, they go with her immediately to do her job, while you recover. You spend a day in coma, then when your body starts to have normal values, visitors are allowed. Useless saying that Shouto spent the night in front of your room, sleeping on the floor, and as soon the doctors said that he can go inside, he wasted no time. Your classmates can't go out for now, so your boyfriend is the only person in there, he keeps you company and waits for you to wake up.

Outside the hospital, there are tons of people screaming and insulting you, for being a monster that destroyed a city, accusing you to be the responsible of All Might's injuries, accusing you even for Bakugou's kidnapping. Todoroki can't believe how stupid people can be, you fought for them, for the second time you saved a whole city without any dead, actually, the one who suffered losses is your family; 40 dead between men and women were found on the port and in the streets. Ran came to visit once, just for asking to Shouto to help them to lead the clan, he didn't need to do something difficult, just help to compile the paperwork, and your soulmate gladly accepted the role.

Two days passed from the fight.

The principal, All Might, Aizawa and other pro heroes come to visit, and unfortunately, you're still sleeping. Since your grandparents cannot be reached at the moment, the adults advance the suggestion to your other half. The suggestion is a press conference about All Might's retire and reassure people about the things of your clan, about Seatiel and stuff like that in the morning, in the afternoon, you should go with Aizawa and All Might to visit the parents and apologize for what happened.

<<With all due respect, but I don't think (Y/N) needs to apologize for something.>> says Shouto irritated, <<She saved All Might's life, an entire city, for what she needs to apologize? For a city that can be rebuild? We should be the ones to apologize. We don't know how Khrome-san is, and the clan lost 40 of its best members, which means, more chaos will appear, that bring to (Y/N) to take care of it since Khrome-san is still under rigid medical treatments.>>

<<You speak the truth, young Todoroki, but people wants to know what's going to happen.>> speaks the number one hero, bandaged and with a cast in the arm, <<I'm sure young (Y/N) can reassure the mass with her words.>>

<<So you adults are going to put more weight on her shoulders?>> your boyfriend isn't having any of that, <<This is the second time she's in coma, this is second time she destroys her body so badly, this is the second time she saved a freaking city, and people speak ill about her. Do you see those pillars of papers behind me?>> the adults move their eyes in the corner of the room, there are tall and big pillars of papers, <<Those are all documents that (Y/N) needs to read and compilate, and in a day I only managed to do just one pile. Now that Khrome-san is hospitalized, (Y/N) is the one who leads the clan; and for I've read so far, in the island is happening some strange stuff. If you want to load her with more weight, I'm going to turn down every single attempt of communication with->>

<<♩Old friend I can see you, you're right there.... Old friend I swear, the bond between us will never be broken.♩>> you weakly sing crying, stopping the chat, <<♩You start walking in the infinite wilderness. Hold back the tears, and move towards tomorrow...♩>> slowly, your eyelids are opening, and Shouto stands up quickly to call a doctor, <<♩I'm the star that's meant for you, so I'll bright shine... This song is meant for you, so show me your smile...♩>>
