I Don't Run An Orphanage!

chapter 10

The next day Kota felt a lot better. All that top of the line medicine, soup, and lots of bed rest had done their job properly, and while Kota wasn't fully healthy again, he did feel well enough to move.

Izuku still made him stay in bed for the most part, and unfortunately, there wasn't a lot for him to do while bedridden.

And so that's what led to where he is right now, watching Izuku and Eri do Eri's quirk training.

"Just remember that video of that river I showed you," Izuku told her. "Just imagine a slow stream."

Kota watched in silence, confused as to why Izuku was handing her an apple core.

Eri clutched the apple core tightly and took a deep breath.

Her horn grew, and energy started cascading over her.

The apple core slowly started regrowing the eaten parts of the apple it once was.

"Ahhh. Mmmm Rrr." Eri tried as hard as she could to tame her quirk, trying to keep it from running rampant and going out of control. She imagined that the river Izuku showed her on the computer, she tried to slow the stream.

Kota watched in awe as the apple slowly but surely, put the apple back together.

Once the apple was mostly restored, however, Eri's grip on her quirk started to slip.

Once Izuku noticed her horn growing, even more, he saw the apple coming back faster.

He took a metal ruler and slapped the apple out of her hand.

"ahhh! I can't. Control it!" Eri said as she started to completely lose control.

Kota's eyes widened as Eri's energy started growing and getting more wild and erratic. He inched back on the bed, sliding further away from her.

"Eri you can stop now! Imagine a damn! Imagine the river stopping!" Izuku told her.

Eri tried her best, her horn started shrinking a little, but almost immediately it started growing again.

It kept shrinking and growing for a while, but it was clear that Eri was fighting a losing battle.

With an upset look on his face, Izuku grabbed the tranq gun that was in his pocket, took it out, and aimed it at Eri.

Wait is he going to shoot her!? Kota thought in alarmed confusion.

And indeed he did, Izuku shot Eri's arm with the gun, and the dart embedded itself into her arm.

A few seconds later Eri's eyes started to droop, her horn stopped emitting energy and began sinking back into her, and in another few seconds, Eri's quirk completely deactivated and she started falling over.

Izuku caught her just before she fell, and lifted her into his arms.

"You shot her," Kota stated. He was dumbfounded, clueless as to what just happened or why.

"It's a dart gun," Izuku explained, pulling the dart out of Eri's arm and showing it to Kota. "It's not meant to hurt someone like a real gun, it shoots out these needle things called darts, they're filled with something that makes you go to sleep for a while. Don't worry she'll be fine when she wakes up."
