As Aizawa woke, he was distinctly aware of a few things. Starting with the overpowering smell of dust, burning wood, and other musky smells, that had replaced the disgusting cedar smell. Secondly, he was outside, the blinding light clued him in on that as soon as his eye creaked open. Through bleary eyes, he was able to make out the silhouettes of people around him. Presently, two figures crowded around him, what seemed like a hand waved in front of his face making him grunt in response.

"..e's up.."

"..ota..? Shota, you okay..?"

"Give him a minute to fully come through, Mic.."

Yamada and Yagi no less, now with the knowledge of his two colleagues were here, and from what he could tell, were safe and sound. He felt himself let go of some of the tension he had been unknowingly holding.

He blinked his eyes a few times, getting rid of the blurriness that invaded his vision. After a couple of moments, he was able to croak out a few words as his eyes scanned the area around them.

"Wha' happen..?"

The sound of a relieved sigh reached his ears, and he could feel Yadama reach his hand over to bring some hair out his face.

"Oh thank god, you're okay." His voice was unrealistically soft, quieter than his usually loud voice. Even with that still, Shota found himself losing patience.

"That doesn't answer my question, Mic. Are the students okay?"

"They're fine, Shota," Yagi responded, a sigh following soon after. "We arrived at the same time some back up came. A few pros had been nearby, so they got to work though we still need help from a few students."

"I doubt it. I'm sure they just wanted to help and you couldn't say no."

Something mixed as a hum and a grunt was his response, which let him know that he wasn't wrong.

His vision came back fully, eyes now having fully adjusted to the blinding sun. He immediately noticed they were in the parking lot of the hotel and said the building was still left partially unscathed.

He could see a couple of pros in the distance, some walking in and out of the hotel doors, others speaking to officers, and whatnot. Shota brows furrowed, having seen no signs of whoever the group had caused this scene around.

"Where are they?"

"Who?" Yagi raised a brow, "Like I said the kids are fine-"

"Not the kids, the villains? Did they get away?"

"Oh. No, they were incarcerated awhile ago. We don't exactly know what their plan was, but it wasn't very well executed as they were still on the same floor, digging through some of the students' belongings."

Grunting, Shota sat up straight, wincing as his head throbbed and vision swam for a split second.
