Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 33 - The walls you hide behind

The rest of the lesson carried on without a hitch, and Aizawa and Kan distributed Midoriya's notes out to the rest of the students, "Okay, here's some notes that Midoriya has written about your. Take a look at it, and if you have any questions, come talk to Vlad King or I. Please don't harass Midoriya about it."

Hagakure nearly jaw dropped as she looked at her paper, before looking down at her invisible form, shifting around uncomfortably, "Is my form really that bad?"

"Uh... I can't tell?" Ojiro scratched his head, "None of us can really see you."

"Why didn't I think of using diamond? It's just carbon, one of the simplest elements!" Yaoyorozu exclaimed, "Also, I should probably work on my hand to hand... Monoma was able to easily take my weapons from me."

"Ha!" Monoma laughed, but was promptly smacked in the back of the head by Kendo, "You know, you're the only one involved in this stupid 1-A and 1-B rivalry. Just drop it already."

Iida stomped up to Midoriya, as the green haired boy turned around to face him. Iida took a deep breath, before he started waving his arms around erratically, "I'm sorry that I injured your arms even more! As the class representative, I should be helping you fit in and instead, I ended up injuring you instead! I am very -"

Midoriya tensed up almost immediately, keeping a wary gaze on Iida's arms as he swung them about like he was trying to chop something.

Iida was immediately pulled back by Shinsou with his capture weapon, "I told you to cool it. You're stressing him out."

"Sorry about Iida. He's just overly enthusiastic." Uraraka laughed, "I've read the notes you've done on us, and they're really awesome! I was wondering... could you give me a few lessons in close combat fighting?"

Koda almost squeaked as Midoriya turned his gaze towards the bubbly girl, staring at her. Uraraka shifted uncomfortably; she was hoping that by maybe spending more time with him, Midoriya would eventually warm up to them, but it seems that Midoriya was still hesitant to take the first step.

Midoriya lifted his hands to sign, but Uraraka quickly stopped him, "No, you don't have to answer right away... especially with your arms in that state... " She smiled at him, "If you don't want to, you also don't have to teach me... "

Midoriya just looked at them, confused, as Aizawa called out, "Iida, can you accompany Midoriya to the infirmary?"

"Yes, sensei!" Iida saluted, "Come on, Midoriya, let's go get your arms checked."

--------------

"You're lucky it's nothing serious; it's just bruised, not broken or sprained. You really have to be more careful, Midoriya." Shuzenji sighed, as she examined Midoriya's arm. The green haired boy was clearly uncomfortable around her, but remained completely still, watching her every movement warily. "One day, I won't be able to heal your injuries anymore. There's only so much that your arms can take."

She gently kissed Midoriya's arm, careful not to sap too much of his strength, but Midoriya didn't even look bothered by the usage of his energy; in fact, he didn't even seem to react at all.

"I keep saying this, but just take it easy for now, Midoriya. You can train, but please, don't use your arms to block any more attacks until I say that you can. You need to let your body rest recover before all the damage accumulates and becomes permanent."

Midoriya just gave Shuzenji a small bow as he stood up, and Iida resisted the urge to reach out to help him up; that would most definitely not help them in getting Midoriya to trust them. They had to let Midoriya initiate things, to let him know that they would be there for him no matter what.
