Aftermath

(POV Hayato)

"Urgh"

As I opened my eyes, I was dazzled by the rays of the sun coming through the window. It looks like it's afternoon and the sun has started to set. I tried to move, but before I could even contract a muscle, I've had excruciating pain in my head.

"Aargh !!"

Shit! So that's the effect of using too much of my telekinesis quirk. But before I could even recover, another sharp pain assaulted my eyes.

...

I managed to catch my breath after 5 minutes. It seems that the backlash is really important. On the other hand, it looks like Recovery-girl cured me. All of my injuries are gone.

I then took the time to observe my surroundings. It looked like a hospital room. I was alone in the room and the surroundings were very quiet. I looked around the room to see if I could find my belongings.

I quickly spotted them lying on a table. It looks like the police or UA collected all of my arrows and put them in my bag. I also spotted the two knives I used on Kurogiri and Shigaraki.

It seems they've been cleaned up. It's okay, the knives I used are special. I made them myself. They are single-use and specifically designed to collect blood from my targets. Once the knife cuts something, the blade retracts and lets in the blood that has flowed from the wound. The blade has a special shape made to optimize the bleeding of my targets. Once the blood is collected, the mechanism is blocked and prevents the outflow of blood. So it doesn't matter that they were cleaned up. Important things are stored inside the knife.

Now that I have confirmed this, I imagine the police will soon come and ask me questions to get my side of the story. I have already spoken about my new quirk to Bakugo and Kirishima beforehand so it shouldn't be too bad. I imagine it won't be too difficult to get through this.

Once I confirmed how I was going to answer their questions, I got up to go out. I walked a few yards down the hall before hearing someone talking to me behind my back.

"Huh !? Wait, sir, please go back to your room. You can't get out yet, the police wanted to ask you a few questions. "

I turned to see a nurse. She took me by the arm and led me back to my room, then helped me sit on my bed.

"Wait here, I'll let the police officers know. Don't worry, this is just a routine procedure." She told me, trying to reassure me.

...

*knock Knock knock*

"You can come in, the door is open. » I replied.

I then saw 2 men enter through the door. One had a dog's face and a suit while the other was dressed in a simple shirt with simple pants.

He didn't look very impressive at first glance, but I immediately recognized Detective Naomasa Tsukaushi here. A close friend of All Might. I instantly mounted my guard.

I know from the anime he is the one in charge of the USJ investigation. However, why is he coming to take my statement with the chief of police? Something's going on here. I didn't let my caution show on the outside. I saw the 2 inspectors approaching

"Hello Mr. Yagushi, we apologize for the inconvenience, however, we would like to ask you a few questions about the event that occurred earlier today. Don't worry, we've done the same for every student. "

They don't seem aggressive towards me. I didn't do anything wrong this time around so they shouldn't have anything wrong with me. I guess I am not the problem here.

"Inspector, you can ask your questions but before that can you tell me how the others are doing? "

He looked at me for a few seconds, then closed his eyes with a sigh.

"Aizawa told me that without you he might have died. You saved your teacher's life by intervening. However, your act was far too risky. You could have died. The police decided not to blame you since this was an emergency. To come back to what you ask after you passed out, All Might arrived and fought against the Nomu. However, the Portal Man and the Villain Leader have decided to join forces with the Nomu. All Might struggled to fight them on his own until Aizawa found an opportunity to join the fight. He looked after the duo while helping All Might clear the shock absorption quirk from the Nomu. From that moment on, the Nomu could no longer resist and he ended up being defeated. However… "The inspector stopped speaking.

"I had more or less guessed that part already. What he's going to say next is the really important thing." I thought.

Then the inspector resumed

"… All Might manage to defeat the Nomu, the other two villains decided to flee through a portal. But as everyone believed the danger was gone, and the teachers were helping injured students, a portal opened among the students near the exit. Two hands came out and they grabbed the heads of students Rikido Sato and Mina Ashido. "

"They didn't have time to dodge and All Might was too far to get there fast enough… I regret to report that your 2 classmates are ... dead. "

"WHAT !!!" I exclaimed.

I wasn't acting this time. I was shocked. I didn't expect the consequences of my intervention to be so high. Not that I care so much about Sato or the other, but my rescue of Aizawa and All Might has caused someone's death. I'm lucky the people who died this time around aren't that important. However, if it was Izuku or Momo, for example, I would have made a big mistake. Changing the course of events at a price. I was too confident in myself. I've been in this world for almost 15 years and knowing the plot has made me too arrogant. I would never have allowed myself to do this in my old life, I was always on my guard and calculated my every move. Living with a loving family in this lifetime is a good thing, however, this peace has let my guard down. Their deaths at least reminded me that I am not yet strong enough to do all what I want. I have to be even more careful than before.

Caution above all.

At least my main goal of saving Aizawa has been achieved. Also, it seems that All Might's uptime has not been cut which is a good thing.

Come to think of it, it must be because of me that Shigaraki did this. He must be super angry that I managed to hold back his toy until All Might arrived. He must have done this out of emotion. At this point in the anime, he still looked a lot like a child.

My whole thought process only lasted a few microseconds. I have to play the sad student over losing his friends. I hope I'm not too rusty, it's been a while since I pretended to be sad.

I curled up slightly, took on a blank, distant facial expression with a downward gaze. Then very light tears. We must not overdo it, we have not known each other for a long time. And finally, a sigh of sadness.

During the rest of the interview, I pretended to be lost in my thoughts. I gave vague answers to their questions about my new quirk. At least their death will have served me for something.

After the inspector left, I changed my clothes and then returned home. I need to review my plans. Also, I got two new quirks, I need to analyze them.
