Shigaraki left with Dabi carrying Izuku but not before Aizawa gave the journals back, leaving the trio the ponder in what he meant as the day turned into night before the sun rose to wake the sleeping heads of many.

Izuku woke up early and went to school, noticing Aizawa and Hizashi with determined and angry faces heading to the teacher's lounge but shrugged it off.

Aizawa and Hizashi were livid, quickly going to the teacher lounge where All Might, Nezu, Midnight, Snipe and many others from the faculty resided at this time in the morning.

"All Might" Aizawa growled out, making many turned to the usually tired and late teacher with his peppy but now angry husband in shock, "What kind of hero tells a quirkless kid they can't be a hero!?" Aizawa yelled at the instantly guilty looking All Might, "You what!?" Recovery Girl yelled in shock before anger consumed the usually nice lady, "DO YOU EVEN KNOW THE DAMAGE THAT CAN DO TO THAT BOY'S PSYCHE?!" Recovery Girl yelled, "I saw him the other day during classes, he was walking back from 1-A with no expression on his face" Lunch Rush admitted, Recovery Girl paled at this information, "He.. oh, the poor boy" Recovery Girl hiccuped as she started to cry, "W-what, what's wrong?" Midnight stuttered, "Midoriya Izuku is now emotionally unavailable, he's apathetic towards everything but puts on masks not to worry others, or maybe he has Alexithymia" Nezu theorised the possibilities, "Oh" All Might whispered quietly, "Another chance is that he's apathetic because people have harmed him in the past and his only emotional tie left was being a hero but it was cut by the hero he looked up to, therefore he fell into a darker mind place and started to fake emotions to please others with the occasional slip up of how he really feels - empty." Nezu stated, "That seems like the case, he slipped up while talking to Bakugou Katsuki, according to his adoptive brother they knew each other since they were young and Bakugou bullied Midoriya, as far as burning his entire back and leaving burn marks on his body from the boy's quirk - explosion" Hizashi stated, a cold look in his usually joyful eyes, "We'll investigate this, we'll ask Tsukauchi to look into it as well for the past schools Midoriya and Bakugou have gone to, hopefully suing the schools for ignoring quirk discrimination will put some sense into people" Nezu spoke bitterly as others nodded, "And Yagi, we'll speak later" Nezu spoke in a threateningly low tone making Yagi gulp,

It was only the start of the investigation, and yet the pain that Midoriya Izuku went through was already too much to handle.
