16 School Life

I finally decided to join a club halfway through my first year here at school.

I chose the Literature Club, which originally I didn't even consider joining. Yaoyorozu managed to convince me to join the club after we started hanging out with each other.

The Literature Club has quite a few... interesting people in it. The club president often teases the two of us when she sees us enter the club together. More often than not, I find myself curious why she got me to join in the first place.

That gets answered whenever the martial arts clubs come around. They tend to try to drag me off to participate in a spar. When I say something along the lines of "I have club activities here" I'm told that there isn't really any attendance requirement and I can do what I want."

I gotta say this club seems to be remarkably lax, but it does leave me with plenty of opportunities to get more fighting experience.

Throughout the days I have tried to activate the various aspects of Time, that Yaoyorozu and I discussed.

Other than what I assume is Time Reversal, the only other one I seem capable of right now is Time Healing.

I managed to activate it the other day after a particularly intense spar with Kaito Sensei. I had quite a few bruises on my body. I remember thinking about how I wanted to remove the pain from my body and then I started to emit a silvery green light.

As the light ran up through my body, my bruises started to fade until they were all gone. The experience was similar to when Recovery Girl healed me.

After checking my Time Pool I realized that the drain wasn't that bad, it only took a single Charge. It seemed odd that it only took a single point, but when I later tried again it took 3 Charges.

I was so excited about this new ability I called up All Might to see if I could heal him. I activated Time Healing on All Might. Immediately I noticed a massive drain on the Time Pool. Right before I was going to deactivate it I passed out.

A few weeks later I woke up in a hospital and the doctors said that parts of my body were undergoing massive cellular degeneration. The doctors said that my body was healing the damage quite quickly, but I would need to spend a few weeks there at the rate it was going.

I guess that I know the consequences of going overboard with my Quirk now. I have to be more careful with its use, unless I want to spend my life in the hospital. Mom, All Might, Kaito Sensei, Chisa neechan and Yaoyorozu came to see me often while I was in a coma.

The doctors informed my mom and she came in a rush crying to hug me. I called up Chisa neechan, All Might and Kaito Sensei to let them know I'm alright.

Chisa told me she's glad I'm awake now. Kaito Sensei said that they would discuss what happened at length in the future. All Might was glad that I was alright now, and asked what happened.

I told him what I tried to do and he scolded me for being reckless. He told me that he felt a bit better, so my actions weren't completely useless, but he warned me over and over again to never try it again.

After school was out I wondered what Yaoyorozu was doing. I didn't wait too long to find the answer to that question, as I heard the door to the room fly open.

I looked over and saw Yaoyorozu staring at me.

"Hey there Yaoyorozu, did you come to see me?" I ask with a smile on her face.

Tears start falling from her face as she runs over to me and buries her head into my chest, which causes me to space out for a second before hearing I hear her sobbing. In an attempt to comfort her, I hug her and say "Yaoyorozu it's alright…. I'm alright now."

"No…. you're…. not!" she yells between sobs "Your body is….. hic…. going through massive cellular degeneration….. hic…. who knows if you will make a full recovery."

I rub her back slowly attempting to calm her and say "I know, but the doctors said that my body is healing at a fast pace. They said at the rate it's healing, I should be ready to leave the hospital in a few weeks."

She stops sobbing and looks up to meet my eyes and I smile at her. We end up just looking into each other's eyes until we hear "Ara… if you two are going to make out…. remember to close the door first."

We both blush and separate from each other. Looking over to who spoke, we see a nurse looking at us like Chisa neechan and the Literature Club president do.

After checking on my vitals and sending a teasing look in our direction she says "Young miss, their isn't anything to be embarrassed about. I mean you have been coming to check on Mr. Midoriya since he was admitted to the hospital."

Immediately after the nurse leaves, closing the door behind her. I look over to see a teary eyed Yaoyorozu blushing. She's been coming here everyday? I guess I really worried her. Realizing she still has tears in her eyes I hand her some tissues.

"Thanks Midoriya" she says while taking them and clearing out the tears in her eyes.

"So… how's school?" I asks awkwardly.

She shifts a bit before saying "It's been uneventful. Everyone is worried about you" with concern in her eyes.

I guess that's what happens get for getting ahead of myself I worry those around me. What even happened? There was a massive cost to try that on All Might.

Maybe the cost has something to do with the extent of the injuries? Or perhaps the time it's been since the injuries? It could even be a combination of both.

I guess if I overuse my Quirk, this is what will happen. It should only be this bad, because of what I tried to heal. Note to self, don't do that again.

Yaoyorozu and I spent the rest of the day chatting and she promised to come back again tomorrow.

After that I spent the rest of my time in the hospital recovering and Yaoyorozu came by everyday to help me catch up on school. She also brought soup, muffins and apples, that she would peel and cut up for me.

She is so good to me, I wonder why? She's such a great girl, I wonder if she has anyone she likes? Wait! Why am I thinking about that?

When I finally got back to school, everyone seems excited that I'm back, it throws me off a bit. The martial arts clubs and Literature club apparently missed me, but for completely different reasons.

The martial arts clubs missed having their favorite green haired underclassmen as a sparring partner. When I told them I had to take it easy for another week or two, they seemed like they were going to cry.

The literature club president went on and on about how "Our Yaoyorozu was so worried that she barely came to club anymore and she seemed so distracted that she barely paid attention in class."

Yaoyorozu blushed and then yelled out "I was paying attention in class just fine, thank you!"

"Yeah right. Is that why the teacher called you out to read a line and you read one from 5 pages back" the club president countered.

Yaoyorozu clams up after that to which I intercede "Alright President, that's enough. She was just worried about my health. She's the class president, of course she worries about me."

I look over at Yaoyorozu with a smile and see her expression change. I was going to ask what's wrong, but she runs off. I look over to the Club President and she just shakes her head at me.

I later ask what is wrong and she tell me nothing is wrong, but I can't help but feel I said something wrong.

I was almost going to ask Chisa neechan for some advice, but everything seemed fine. We even hung out quite a bit more often after that than we usually do.

Later I got an earful from Kaito Sensei about the dangerous nature of overusing Quirks. Something along the lines of "I should know better since I possess One For All and you know how destructive that can be for your body."

After promising to be more careful we continued our training as normal and this is how I passed the next 2 years.
