Inaccurate Feelings

Failure

Aizawa P.O.V

Everything was going good, but the blue psycho figured it out. He knew that I needed to blink more often.

A creepy smile took over his face as a creature with his brain exposed was called upon.

As the villain named it, Nomu ?

I looked back, to where Nomu stood and he slashed my face damaging my goggles and my right eye.

In an instant, I felt massive pain rushing through my face.

I was pinned down to the ground immediately and he twisted my arm breaking it.

I let out an excruciating scream of pain, while the villain in front of me started to speak.

"You can erase people powers. That's irritating, but it's nothing impressive. When faced with true, devastating power, you might as well be a Quirkless child"

I had to do something, if I can get a good look at him then I can erase his Quirk. I took a quick look behind me and activated my Quirk, but it failed miserably as Nomu broke my other arm leading me to feel another rush of immense pain.

He's breaking my bones like they're twigs. I'm positive I erased his Quirk.

That means he's super strong, even without powers...I think he's as strong as All Might.

Nomu grabbed my head aggressively and slammed it into the ground leaving a dent.

"Tomura Shigaraki", said the warp, so that's his name.

"Kurogiri, did you manage to kill Thirteen ?", asked Shigaraki.

"The rescue hero is out of commission", no. No. NO! THIRTEEN!

"But there was students I was unable to disperse and one of them got outside of the facility", Kurogiri stated.

"I was really wanting to finish this up today", Shigaraki pouted. "There's no way we'll win if dozens of Pros show up. Oh- before we leave, let's make sure the symbol of peace is broken. Let's wreck his pride"

I had an odd feeling that my students were close by due to Shigaraki saying those words and stopping nearby, at the water.

Shit. I told them not to move. Why are they here ?

"Let's make this hurt", hearing those words sent a rush of adrenaline in my body and urged me to look up as fast as I could.

I just need a clear look, a long enough glance to erase his Quirk.

As soon as my head lifted up I canceled out his Quirk.

"You really are so cool...Eraser Head", I kept my head up forcing myself to keep my eyes open, but Nomu slammed my head back into the already dented concrete.

My body was to weak to move anymore. My bones are broken and my face is messed up.

In the matter of seconds I heard Midoriya. I swear those kids just don't know how to listen.

"You're pretty powerful. This 'smash' of yours. Are you one of All Mights disciples? Doesn't matter. I'm done with you now"

I...I failed. I couldn't protect them.

The last thing I heard was Midoriya scream before I became unconscious.

-Time Skip-

I heard the monitor beeping and I had a pretty good idea where I was at. I can't explain how much I despise being in a hospital.

"A-Aizawa", I look to the side to see Present Mic.

"You were messed up pretty bad. Me and the other Pros came not long after All Might. If it weren't for him you would be dead by now", I sighed just by hearing it.

I...I failed my students. If All Might didn't come or the Pros then we'd all be dead.

"I can already tell your beating yourself up for the whole situation. I may not see your face through all those bandages, but I knew you for to long for me not to know", I don't appreciate the raw truth that Yamada spoke.

I was most definitely beating myself up. Not only did I fail as a teacher, but as a Pro hero.

Sadly I'm thinking about going along with Nezu's offer. I need a Co-teacher. Maybe then I'll get some work done and some sleep.

For me to decline such an offer is irrational. I answered with pure hatred and was only thinking about myself.

All because I thought I could handle everything on my own.

Ever since then, I've been stressing and getting migraines. Then when those villains came, it made it no better.

I got dry eye, my face smashed, a decayed elbow, and both of my arms broken. All for what ? Because I wouldn't allow to be assigned a co-teacher.

Idiotic. I won't be able to forgive myself.

And as for my students...oh just wait.

-Next Morning-

The chatter was loud as always. I heard the same question go around.

"Is Mr. Aizawa coming today ? We'll probably have a substitute. He was beaten up pretty bad"

I sighed deeply and prepared for the wide eyed gazes.

"Good morning class", the classroom stopped and was filled with silence.

"YOUR ALIVE", said Midoriya.

"Very much so. Today...before we start anything I want to apologize"

The class gasped in shock.

"Mr. Aizawa, why are you apologizing?", asked Uraraka.

"Yesterday, when we were attacked by the villains at USJ, I wasn't able to fulfill my intentional plan...to protect you guys. I'm sorry"

"Mr. Aizawa, you did everything to protect us, we're forever grateful", said Midoriya.

A sudden click went off in my head. Midoriya.

"As for the three students that were there and almost died right in front of me. Stay after class. You know who you are", I said.

These kids need to start listening to me. Especially Midoriya. He seems to be very hard headed when it comes to stuff like this.

He likes to spring into action without giving it a second thought.

What he doesn't understand is there can be consequences to going into a situation without knowing the outcome.

What were those three thinking? I'm more mad at myself then them, but I'm going to warn them about those type of things.

Somebody could've gotten killed. I could care less about me, but they were exposed to the villain and within his reaching.

Not only did I fail them...but they failed me.
