Chapter 16: Hard Work and Pain:

Vii POV:

I woke up at six a.m the next morning to resume my training. By seven I was in Mr.Yagi’s training room, working on my fire puppets. They’re near perfect now and will be pretty useful in the sports festival.

***

I stopped at 10 a.m for a short break. As I was drinking my pedialyte I got an idea. Perhaps I could use my flames to propel myself through the air. That’d be useful in combat. Setting down my water bottle I walked to the center of the room. To prevent myself from burning down Mr.Yagi’s house I made a thin layer of crystals cover the floor. 

Taking a deep breath I slowly pushed more and more fire into my palms. Soon I was levitating three feet off the ground, Nice. Now to work on controlling which direction I’m going. 

First I tried moving my hands in the opposite direction of where I wanted to go and ended up falling on my butt. I got up again and tried more fire in one palm to see if I would be pushed the other way. Nope again. I’m going to be here for a while.

***

After six hours of hard work, I’ve finally figured out how to use my fire to fly. Turns out it’s actually more effective to use my feet so I’ll have to modify my boots a bit. Either way, it’s still super cool and pretty useful. 

I cleared the floor of its protective layer and smiled to myself. It was then Mr.Yagi walked in to see how I was doing. “Hello Ms. Aikio, how’s training going?”  

“Pretty good I guess, I’ve done a lot of work with my flames today and discovered that I can use my flames to propel myself through the air.”

“That’s impressive, also if you’re finished there’s a couple people here to see you.”

“Really? Ok, thank you for telling me.” I gave him a quick bow and went down the hallway to the living room. To my surprise, Todoroki and Midoriya were there, waiting for me. “Oh, hello you two, what brings you here?”

“Well, Midoriya showed up at my house asking if I wanted to go with him to check on you.” Midoriya chuckled nervously, cheeks lightly dusted pink.

“Aww you guys!” With that, I brought them both into a tight, slightly awkward hug.

***

We spent the rest of the day talking, helping Mr.Yagi make dinner and watching ‘Pirates of the Carribean, Curse of the Black Pearl.’ (A/N Great movie, I totally recommend it to anyone older than 12!) Sadly, they had to go home eventually. It was pretty late so Mr. Yagi gave them a ride; first to Midoriya’s house, then to Todoroki’s. After dropping them off, Mr. Yagi surprised me with Mochi ice cream!

We got home at around 10:30 P.M. I thanked Mr.Yagi for everything then went upstairs to take a shower.

Once finished I got into some grey sweatpants and a baggy purple tee shirt. With that I climbed into bed and fell into a dreamless sleep.

***

I shot upright in my bed, feeling horrible. I looked over at the clock and saw it was 4:30 in the morning. My breathing was ragged, I felt nauseous and was shaking in a cold sweat. ‘I guess I overdid it with my training today. I better go get some electrolytes.’ 

I tried to stand up but fell to the floor with a thud. Great.

All Might (Mr. Yagi) POV:

It was a little after 4:30 when a loud thud woke me up. It sounded like it came from Vii’s room! In a panic, I threw off my blankets and dashed down the hallway towards her room. Throwing open the door. I saw Vii in a heap on the floor, pale and shaky. “Vii are you ok?!?”

She looked at me and replied, “ I’m fine, it’s just one of the side effects of my quirk. I’ve been like this since my fight with the nomu, I’ll recover in a few weeks.”

“WEEKS?!?”

“Yes, I’m working through an electrolyte imbalance and my body needs time to reset. It takes a while but I’ll be fine.”

“Are you sure, can I get you anything?”

“No I’m fine.”

“You don’t look fine.”

“Trust me, I just need to whip myself up some pedialyte.” She pushed herself to her feet and staggered over to her wardrobe. She reached up and grabbed a small packet before heading toward the door. I followed closely behind her as she grabbed a glass of water from the kitchen and mixed in the contents of the packet. She took a sip, followed by a few deep breaths. With that, she went back to her room.

‘Kid, you really worry me.’
