My Hero Academia: The Next Generation Book 2

Chapter 27: Chatting in the Stands

~~{Zota Heigaraku's POV}~~

I watched Sakura talking to the spider kid when he had brought Toma up from the fighting ring, she seemed pretty heated... Well, more than just heated. Before I could get up to try and interfere, I saw Sakura slap the spider kid across the face. I physically flinched since I could tell how hard that slap was. Soon though, after Toma got her attention she helped him back to his seat inbetween us. He had tears running down his face as his blind gaze was stareing down at the floor.

"Hey, Ishiki. Are you okay?" I asked Toma with a bit of a concerned face, resting my hand on his shoulder as he simply just closed his eyes.

"That visor was the last thing I had that my parents gave me... Apart from a few pictures.."

"Woah... I'm.. Really sorry that kid broke it, thats really messed up..."

"He didnt mean to break it... He was just being smart and using a weakness of his opponent. I understand why he did it..."

"That doesnt make it right..." I looked over my shoulder to where the spider kid once stood, seeing as he was gone.

"We'll get the RnD at the school to make you a new visor." I glanced at Sakura when she spoke. "For now, we'll help you walk around and stuff without tripping or running into things."

"Thanks guys... I really appreciate it."

"Hey guys." I heard a familiar voice speak, looking up from Toma and Sakura to see Nosido standing there with a smile.

"Nosido? Aren't you supposed to be resting in the med-bay until your match starts?"

"I convinced Nurse Juyami to let me out early. So i'm here now." Nosido sat down beside me, leaning his head back slightly. "If you guys didnt figure out already, I've kind of started to develop panic attacks..."

"Are you gonna go to therapy for it?"

"Na, I can deal with it on my own. I just dont like crowds."

"Well, lets hope you don't have one during your match." I smiled and pat Nosido's shoulder. "I know your gonna do great man." Nosido looked at me, smiling brightly and nodding. Then he started to look around a bit.

"Hey... Where's Suraki?"

"Dont know, hasnt really been up here since you passed out. I thought he was waiting for you at the Med bay?"

"No... Where could he be?" I shrugged, having no idea since he pretty much dissapeared.

"I think he went to the bathroom." Both Nosido and I looked at Sakura, nodding slightly.

"Makes sense."

Roughly five minutes or so later, another match was starting up. It was Satsuo versus Yurin. Kinda funny that Nosido's big brother was fighting his Ex. Soon we heard some footsteps approaching us, seeing Suraki walking over with a slightly confused face.

"Nosido? I thought you were resting."

"I convinced the Nurse to let me out." He shrugged slightly, smiling at Suraki before he pat the seat next to him. "Come on, sit down hun."

"You seem more cheery today..." Suraki sat down in the seat beside Nosido while he shrugged.

"I'm just in a good mood right now, I dont know why. Guess I'm excited to watch the matches from here and not on a TV."

"Heh, makes sense." Suraki let out a soft chuckle before he wrapped his arm around Nosido, as he did. Nosido leaned his head on Suraki's shoulder. "I actually had a question... Nosido, do you want to have dinner with my family tonight?"

"W-what?" Nosido suddenly shot his gaze up to Suraki, a blush starting to from on his face.

"Well... I want to come out to my parents, and i'd like them to know that i'm with you."

"You should definitely do it." Sakura chimed in, smiling faintly at the two. "Whats the worse that could happen anyways, Bakugou-Sensei mentioned that Shoto and him kinda fought over Midoriya. Right?"

"True.. I'm just nervous about it..."

"Hey, its gonna be okay babe." Suraki turned Nosido's head to be focused on him again. "I'll handle things of something goes wrong. Okay? Nosido soon nodded, smiling faintly. "Thank you, Suraki."

While he was looking at Suraki, I noticed something odd on the back of his head. It looked almost like a small scar on his head, his hair not growing over it at the moment.

"Yo, Nosido... Where'd that scar in the back of your head come from?"

"What scar?" He turned his head to look at me with a confused expression. "I dont think I ever had a scar on the back of my head."

"Well.. Theres one here, looks like someone cut into your head or something." Suraki now held Nosido's head in place to take a closer look, glancing at me a few seconds later as he let go of Nosido's head. "Weird... Maybe you got it at some point without realising?"

"Maybe..." He shrugged slightly before looking back down at the fighting grounds. Eventually all of us looking down at it as we saw Satsuo give Yurin a hard uppercut before tackling him down, they were getting pretty close to the edge. So one of them was likely about to be pushed out of the ring.

And as though it was almost on que with my thought, Yurin had tried to toss Satsuo over his head. Instead though, Satsuo grabbed hold of his arms and used the moment up from the push to pull Yurin up over his head and slam him down outside of the ring in the grass. He was standing right on the edge, he likely would've been ringed out if he was pushed any harder over Yurin's head.

Red Riot soon yelled out over the speakers, anouncing Satsuo as the victor while we watched Yurin start carefully getting to his feet. Satsuo held his hand out to help him up.... And surprisingly, Yurin actually took the help. Though he did give Satsuo a bit of a pissed of stare down.

The two then walked back to their respective sides of the arena, Yurin arriving in the bleachers about ten or so minutes later. Taking a seat in the chair behind Nosido.

"FUCKING bullshit man... I lost to him of all people, his quirk isnt even for battle!"

"Yurin." Nosido had his head leaned back to look at Yurin in the eyes, having a bit of a kind look in his own. "You did fine, its okay to lose..."

"... Thanks Nosido..." He let out a sigh, rubbing his head and slumping down in the chair as he closed his eyes to relax. Nosido then let his head rest on Suraki's shoulder. That was until Red Riot spoke over the speakers again.

"Well done Satsuo Shinso in that last match! But now its time for our next contenders to get ready. In just fifteen minutes, Oliver Heartman and Nosido Heraki will be duking it out to secure their place in the rest of the tournament! Fighters, please head on down to the entrence tunnels.

"S-shit, me already?" Nosido let out a heavy breath after lifting his head off Suraki's shoulder, obviously starting to get nervous. So I sat up and quickly pat his back.

"Look man, I know you can do this. Youve gotten a lot stronger than you used to be. Remember, your a survivor." He turned his gaze to me, smili g faintly and nodding before he stood up and rushed out of the spectators box and down to the tunnel.

You can do this, Nosido. We all are rooting for you.
