Behind a smile

Part 18~After and before

We were bored, again. We hadn't done much since the battle with Stein. We had gone to visit Iida, who had to stay in the hospital until his injuries had healed. He was okay to talk to as long as you don't bring up what happened. He had got hurt and would need surgery to fix it but he decided against doing so. 

Ever since the event Edgeshot has done more with our ability. He did proper training, something that we were more than happy to accept however he had taken us off patrol, so we couldn't get into more trouble, leaving us to train in the gym instead of going out. Hence why we are currently bored out of our minds... mind.

We hadn't got penalised for fighting stein, as we did not fight him at all, and for a change, we were praised for saving Iida and Native in a sensible and responsible way, though they were still annoyed that we didn't go to get a hero when we sore Iida running off.

I was currently using a treadmill, to run, with my quirk to increase speed, as Jack attacked the punching bag, a special one he had made, with his scythe and other virias things he conjured on a whim. Mei was using her chains to lift weights and Zama was using his to cook, mainly as he couldn't control smaller parts for specific attacks. Koi was creating a new support item for us while Sora created whatever he drew to see if it would work, something that was fun to watch as with every new item, oi would have to educate Sora on different laws of physics, Chemistry and biology so that we knew it did or didn't work.

Tomorrow, this will be over and we could finally go back. We were missing working in the café and I am sure Yu-chan would want us to give her some help.

It would be sad to say goodbye to this place but at least we wouldn't get bored.

We ate Zama's food and went to sleep. In the morning we would go home.

We happily went up to the school, inside our classroom, we could see everyone talking about their own experiences with the interns.

Tsu was talking about her own battle with a smuggler and Jiro talked about her kidnapping situation but most didn't do much during their time. Iida was sitting at the very back but I didn't go up to him. He was still recurving and probably didn't want to talk about it. Instead of talking to anyone, I sat down and brought out my sketch book.

I was doing a very specific page, one I wanted to do a lot on, the Inginium page. I wanted to do this and do one about Iida and give it to them. It was a way of comfort that my family has always used. I had done the same for Moo after the Sports festival, she didn't get it at first but after a few nights she realised what it meant to have one of these pages and was very thankful to us, even if it didn't cheer her up.

Talking about Momo, quietly walked in and sat down in front of me. She looked even more deflated than last time I saw her, I wonder what happened.

Kaminari joined us soon after and we happily talked about anything other than our internships. Momo seemed to like my idea about giving Iida and his brother pages but Kaminari seemed to get jealous that he didn't have one, a reaction that caused my siblings to laugh.

After a while Aizawa walked in and demanded the class to be silent. He told us about the plans for the final exam.

They would be taking place soon, one written, one practical. I couldn't wait.

Instantly, Koi started looking up the previous years, it seemed most times we were just up against robots but we both got a feeling that wasn't right. The written exam would be easy with Koi, it was a miracle the teachers didn't make us wear quirk cancelling bracelets during the test , but I guess that wouldn't matter as most of the time I could answer on my own. Make Jack or Sora answer and we would fail but Koi, Zama and myself were all equipped to answer the question they came up with.

We kept to our usual reteen, studying between shifts, while working out at the same time. The best way for us to work, But we also made sure not to over do ourselves and struggle. I heard that Momo had taken it upon herself to tutor some of the lower level students in the class along with a few others. Apparently the whole thing had been quite unlike what they were expecting as Momo was a lot richer than they initially thought.

When the exams did could and around, we were more than ready, finding the written one easy. We were on our way to the battle field, ready for our practical exam. The others had also gotten it into their heads that we were going to fight robots, however after my time with Hatsume, helping her test out a new support item which she claimed was for training, we were even more sure that we were going to be doing something else.

The teachers were waiting for us as Kaminari and Mina exclaimed their excitement to fight some robots.

Sadly for them, Aizawa had to go and rain on their parade. He and Nezu explained that we were going to fight the teachers and they would be wearing Hatsume's bracelets- so not for training after all.

The teams were announced, I noted that Momo was on a team with Jiro, while Bakugou was with Koda, Mina and Kaminari were on a team and I was with Todoroki.

I did kind of feel bad for Koda who would have to deal with Bakugou, especially as they were going against Present Mic. Momo and Jiro were against Aizawa, Mina and Kaminari were against Nezu and Todoroki and I were against All Might.

This was going to be fun.
