The Road to Recovery

It was now morning the next day.

Kei woke up and got himself ready for school. Once he was done preparing, he went downstairs to have breakfast.

Once Kei finished his breakfast, Detective Naomasa gave him a ride to school. When they got there, Detective Naomasa told Kei that he will take him to see All Might, once school was over.

The school day seemed to take longer than usual. This was only because Kei, who wanted to check up on All Might kept looking at the clock all day.

Once school was finally over, Detective Naomasa came to pick Kei up. On their way to the hospital, Detective Naomasa told Kei on All Mights current condition.

From what Detective Naomasa told Kei. All Might was still unconscious and it was uncertain how long it would be for him to wake up.

After some time, they finally arrived to Musutafu General Hospital. When Kei and Detective Naomasa got to All Mights room they saw that Gran Torino was there.

"Your still here Gran Torino, where is Sir Nighteye?" Asked Detective Naomasa

"He had some important business to take care of, so he left two hours ago" said Gran Torino

"I see, I am sure it won't be long for him to return" said Detective Naomasa

"I see you brought the boy again" said Gran Torino as he looked at Kei

"Yes, he also wanted to come and see how All Might was doing" said Detective Naomasa

"I remember hearing from Toshinori, that he was training you from time to time" said Gran Torino with a grin on his face

"Yes, he does" said Kei

"So tell me, how good of a teacher is Toshinori?" Asked Gran Torino now with a big smile on his face

Kei figured that Gran Torino new that All Might was terrible at teaching. It made sense, after all he had never taught anyone before he started teaching Kei .

"When it comes to teaching, he is okay at it" said Kei in an awkward voice

When Gran Torino heard Kei answer. He could not help but laugh. He had long known that All Might was terrible when it came to teaching someone techniques.

"Haha, that sound in your voice says otherwise" said Gran Torino as he started laughing

"Well, you came to see All Might right. Go in, they are already letting a few people go in to see him" said Gran Torino

When Kei heard he could go in. He thanked Gran Torino, before heading to the room All Might was recovering in.

When Kei entered the room, he could see All Might in the hospital bed. Tubes and other such things all over his body.

Kei had already heard of the extent of the damage done, as well as the fact that a few organs were missing from the attack he had received.

As Kei walked towards the bed, his hands were starting to glow in a bright green color.

Once Kei got next to All Might. He placed his hands on top of his abdomen. As his hand touched All Mights abdomen, the bright green colored glow started to absorb itself into All Mights body.

This glowing green light, that was coming out of keis hands, was a healing power that derived from his [Nature] ability.

As Kei continued to use this ability. Detective Naomasa, who had gone in with Kei. Started to notice Kei was growing tired. It made sense after all ,he had heard from Kei, that whenever he used that healing ability on someone other than himself. He would tire out at quick rate.

After a few more minutes, Kei was already at his limit. The glow from his hands disappeared, as he breathed heavily.

"How was it?" Asked Detective Naomasa as he helped Kei sit down on a chair

"Just like Recovery Girl, all I could do is speed up his healing process" said Kei as he continued "sadly, I still have not learned how to reconstruct a new organ"

"So there is no helping All Might at this time" said Detective Naomasa in a helpless voice

The reason Kei had asked Detective Naomasa to go visit All Might. Was because of this power his ability has. Sadly, he still had far too long a way to go, before he could regrow new organs or limbs.

At the moment Kei could only accelerate the healing speed of others. When it came to himself on the other hand, he did not need to even use the ability at all. It was more like an auto regeneration when it came to it being used for Kei instead.

Whenever he was hurt, it felt like nature itself was healing Kei on its own accord.

'Why is healing others so complicated' thought Kei as he was starting to breath normally.

During his time training this part of his ability during his spare time. He noticed that this part of his ability was far more advanced and thus more difficult to use much less control.

As time went by, he managed to learn how to accelerate the healing of others. As for learning the other aspects of this power it was still going to take time.

"How long do you think it will take for him to wake up?" asked Detective Naomasa to Kei

"How should I know, I am not a doctor you know" responded Kei

"You brat, seems like that healing talent is wasted on you" said Gran Torino as he walked into the room

"Well, you might be right" said Kei

When kei thought about it. He was not the smartest or the most creative person. All in all he was just an average man in his previous life. A man that loved to dream and fantasize, about the things he would read and watch.

Kei always believed that if he was given an ability or something of the sort. He would be able to master such a thing in a year or two.

One can imagine keis disappointment when more than two years have past and he has barely scratched the surface of this ability that was given to him.

'Hah, I need to study harder' thought Kei as he was thinking of different things to look into

"Thank you for trying to help Toshinori get better" said Gran Torino with a thankful look on his face

"There is no need to thank us, we want All Mighty to get better, just as much as you do" said Detective Naomasa with a smile on his face

"I got a call from Sir Nighteye, he said he will arrive here in half an hour" said Gran Torino

Kei, Detective Naomasa and Gran Torino kept talking about things until Sir Nighteye arrived.

Once Sir Nighteye arrived, he joined the discussion they were having. As time went on, Kei once again used his healing power to help All Might heal faster.

Once Kei was finished, he And Detective Naomasa said their goodbyes and started to head home.

——————————————————————-

Once Kei and Detective Naomasa got home. Kei sat down on the couch to rest. While Detective Naomasa got started on making dinner.

While Kei was waiting for dinner to be ready. He called Shou in the hopes he could come up with something he had not during his training.

Shou at the moment did not have any ideas for Kei. So, he told Kei, that he would look up some methods Kei had not thought up.

Seeing as Shou also had no ideas. Kei decided to look and see what he could find by himself.

After a while of looking. Detective Naomasa let Kei know that dinner was almost ready. Hearing this Kei put his phone down and went to set up the dinner table.

Once the food was done, both Kei and Detective Naomasa started to eat. As both of them ate, they started talking about things they would be doing in the coming days.

———————————————————————

Nineteen days later All Might finally woke up.

When both Kei and Detective Naomasa heard this. They immediately made their way to the hospital.

Once they arrived to All Mights room. They saw some doctors doing some routine checkups. When the doctors finally finished. Kei and Detective Naomasa went to talk to All Might.

"All Might, you look like a mess" said Detective Naomasa in a joking manner

"If this looks bad, you should see the other guy" said All Might with a tired laugh

When All Might saw Kei, he could not help but feel thankful. He had heard from Gran Torino and Sir Nighteye, about Kei using his power to help All Might recover faster.

Although full recovery was impossible, thanks to his lost organs. He knew that healing was the best he could do and all he needed to do right now.

From what the doctors told him. It would be at least one year for him to even start walking again. Not to mention the surgeries that still need to be performed.

"I still have a long way to go if I want to get out of here" said All Might with a look of frustration on his face

Kei knew how stubborn All Might was, when it came to him being a hero. He was the type of person that cannot sit still as villains were running around causing problems.

Now that he was in this state Kei knew that he would force himself out of the hospital sooner or later. This would lead to him not being able to recover as well as he could have.

"It is alright, take your time. The other heroes can pick up the slack while you are here" said Detective Naomasa Before continuing "you are not the only hero. The others out there will also do their best just like you have been doing until now.

"Father is right, the most important thing right now is to heal up and rest" said Kei with a smile on his face

"Thank you, both for worrying about me and coming to see me" said All Might

"Alright, now that I'm here let me help you speed up your recovery a little" said Kei as he got himself ready to use his power to help All Might

"Thank you, young Kei, but is it alright for you to be using that power so frequently?" asked All Might with a look of uncertainty

"It is okay, unlike Recovery Girl, my power replenishes a lot quicker. So there is no harm for me or others" said Kei as he started treating All Might

After a short while, Kei finished doing what he could. As he saw just how bad All Mights injury was, he could not help feeling useless. If he had a better grasp of this power, then having All Might recover completely would have been possible.

"You have already done more than enough, young Kei" said All Might as he continued "the fact that you can help me to this extent is already something I am very grateful for"

When All Might noticed keis expression. He knew that Kei was feeling down. Just like himself, Kei also wanted him to recover as quickly as possible. Sadly, that was better said than done.

"The road to recovery will not be easy" said Kei as he continued "but you just have to be patient"

"Kei, do you not realize who you are talking to" said Detective Naomasa as he looked at Kei before he continued "I am already surprised that he did not try walking out the hospital yet"

"Well, it is not like I have not thought about it" said All Might as he tried to laugh

The three of them talked a while longer. Finally it was time for Kei and Detective Naomasa to head home.

Once the two of them left. All Might who was left alone could only say to himself.

"The road to recovery, huh"

"Is such a pain in the ass"
