Life After Death

Chapter 47

Izuku had been summoned by Aizawa and he wanted to know what it was about. "Midoriya perfect timing I've gotten word from the Hospital that Eri can have visitors."  Izuku was happy so he decided to rush over immediately but Aizawa had decided to drive. Along with him, Mirio had decided to join in with a care package with him. “Hey buddy, guess you heard the good news.” “Yeah.” The three began driving to the hospital where they were escorted to Eri’s room. Before going in, they were told about how Eri’s horn shrunk and that at the moment she is probably the most stable she’s able to be at the moment to interact with people. Once inside, they greeted the little girl by offering a care package. Since they didn’t know her favorite fruit, Mirio had quite a few fruits in it. Eri however was more content with the apple above anything else.

After they cut and planted a few, they began to talk calmly among each other. “I’m sorry I never got your name so well. I know Lumillion, but what’s yours?” “Oh, it’s Catalyst as my hero name. But you can also just call me Izuku Midoriya.” “Ca...cata...lyst? What’s that?” “It means something that can affect someone in a great way.” The little girl immediately looked down at her bandaged arms before saying anything. “L-like my curse?” She obtained a head pat by Izuku who smiled at her. “Your quirk wasn’t the reasoning for anything you went through. Don’t assume everything is always your fault. Let others hold the blame now and again.” Eri nodded and began trying to make abnormal facial expressions. When she stopped, she started frowning before saying something. “I’m sorry, but I think I forgot to smile.” This hit both boys like a stack of bricks. Eri’s alive and safe, but she isn’t free from the hold Chisaki has on her yet. Until she can be released from that and learn to smile, she’ll never be truly saved.

Mirio immediately remembered something that the doctors said about her interacting with people. “Hey Midoriya, isn’t the School Festival coming up?” Izuku immediately understood what he meant to run over to Aizawa. “Sir. Would it be possible for Eri to leave the hospital for a day?” He started to smirk knowing where he was going. “Not a bad idea you two. I’ll put it in request for Nezu and get her to do that. However, you’re responsible for watching her Midoriya.” Izuku nodded while Eri asked Mirio what they were talking about. “What’s a Culture Festival?” “It’s a big and cool thing where there’s a bunch of shows, food, and some other things. Come to think of it, they may even have candied apples.” “What are those?” “It’s when they put apples on a stick and put them in some melted sugar to make it even sweeter than it already was.” The thought of this made a bit of drool come down the little girls mouth making everyone know she was into it. “Oh yeah, our classes are performing in it as well, you can see us do some cool stuff too.” This peeked Eri’s interest as they continued to talk for another hour before they had to leave.

Back at UA

Upon returning to UA everyone in 1-A was hyped for the upcoming cultural Festival many were trying to decide what to do for the event but couldn't seem to make up their minds. This was a once a year event where students could relax and they definitely needed this after dealing with the attacks on their lives. Unfortunately, the students of class A had to think of something they could do with nothing really sticking out to them. Everyone gave ideas, but several weren’t exactly the greatest. At this moment, Honto started to get an idea seeing two ideas that were listed. “Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! What if we did a concert!?” Everyone turned to her a little interested in it. “We can mix dancing and Jirou’s skill with music together. Mina can help us with the dancing, and Jirou can help with the music.

Everyone thought about this with it sounding like it would be probably the best idea they could have at the moment. “Then it’s settled, class 1-A shall be holding a concert!” Everyone cheered with Honto extremely happy that she was able to make an idea everyone enjoyed. That's when everyone was being assigned roles. Izuku himself was lost in thought when his role was announced. It wasn't until Ochack nudged his side “huh? What? Sorry I wasn’t paying attention” “Midoriya You’re gonna be one of the back up dancers during the performance” Iida said then came the most important part of the event it was the band that needed to be formed but the only one who everyone knew that was musically talented was Kyouka Jirou until another hand shot up it was Honto “I actually know how to play drums” she said. Everyone looked at her a little surprised before explaining. “I was trying to avoid my uh, ‘interest’ with my quirk so to say and found out I had a talent for it.” This somewhat impressed the class as one by one, things began to fall into place for everyone.
