Nursing.
White walls and several stretchers where several injured or unconscious students rest after being eliminated from the festival, cuts, bruises, burns, fractures, abrasions, dizziness, vomiting, etc... among this sea of injured, a little old lady behaves like a veteran general using her Quirk masterfully treat each of the patients, Recovery Girl support pro hero.
"Recovery-sensei...can I help you?"
I greeted the small and kind old lady who only looked at me doubtfully before adjusting her glasses and looking at me again.
--Are you the ice boy that Eraser and Loader are talking about?
--I think so~
I shrugged and took the old woman's hand, circulating a bit of the Avalon's energy, causing her to widen her eyes.
--Boy! You are a Healer!
--Shiiiiiii! I'm trying to keep it low key~
I placed my fingers on my lips causing Recovery-sensei to lower her voice and look at me suspiciously.
--Well, put on this mask and treat that side, if what Eraser and Loader say is true you won't have any problem waking up those knocked out.
--Okay~
Following sensei's instructions, I put on a mask as well as a cap and began to treat the patients among whom was my dear friend, full of bruises, cuts and bruises. Damn, that Bakugo Exploding Princess doesn't know what it's like to hold back, the damage to the internal organs is minor, but the inner ear is almost broken from both the explosions and the abuse of her Quirk, if Recovery-sensei treated her she would spend a good amount of vitality to heal.
--... (Note to self, kick Bakugo to a pulp)
***
I finished healing Ochaco and a good part of the injured, earning the go-ahead from Recovery Girl-sensei.
--You have a talent for medicine, stop by whenever you want~ this old lady needs some helpers~
--I'll keep that in mind, Recovery-sensei.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!*
A huge explosion followed by a short but strong tremor reverberated throughout the building, I looked up at the screen and I could see a young man with white and red bicolor hair standing in a ridiculous amount of rubble.
--Hahahaha~ It seems Shoto got carried away a bit~
--Is that Endeavour's son?
--Yeah~ well I have to come back, see you sensei.
"Take care, Kurogane-kun.
Leave the infirmary and return to the stands.
***
In the middle of my way back I met an ecstatic and brand new Endeavor who was literally on fire with emotion to seem the canon effect of the plot is still in place and the good old plagiarism of Zuko has just "Emancipated" himself from the shadow of his father .
"Are you in a good mood, father-in-law~?"
-- Who are you calling "father-in-law" brat?!
--See~ you're already getting used to the idea~ Father-in-law~
Endeavor can be an emotional asshole on many levels but if anything good has come out of my fight with him it is that he has matured and overcome part of his inferiority complex, although canon would force him to "try" to mend his relationship with Shoto and the The damage is done to the rest of his children, the fact that he opened his eyes a few months before thanks to the "little family discussion" does not mean that he is already cured and can appear in front of his wife to ask for forgiveness.
"Stop fucking around, Yuuji..."
--Hai, hai~ Shoto is trying hard to win and so am I~
--Hmm.
Endeavor grunted pretending to ignore me but his ridiculous "I'm the best Megalomaniac (Father) in the world" smile gives it away.
--Well, I'll go back to my seat, remember to take your heart medicine father-in-law~
I ran out of the place before Endeavor could catch me.
"Damned brat, who needs heart medicine... I'm not that old..."
Little did he know that he would soon need it.
***
The matches progressed and to my surprise my next match was against one of the finalists in the canon, Fumikage Tokoyami and his Dark Shadow, a combo of two chickens for the price of one.
--No hard feelings Kurogane...
--Same here, Tokoyami~
--Do you both seem very excited~? Fight ~KYAAAAN~!!!
Under Midnight-sensei's unnecessary suggestive shouts Tokoyami took the lead with his Dark Shadow, the shadow beast charged with strength and speed. A good frontal attack!
--That's the spirit~Tokoyami~!
Covering my arms with ice I defended myself from the assault, being dragged back a couple of meters.
--DARK SHADOW!
--Very late~
A layer of frost covered the arms and part of the head of Tokoyami's alter ego and spread across their joint little by little.
--This won't stop me Kurogane DARK SHADOW!
With the roar or rather caw of a humanoid crow, the half-frozen shadow inflated like a balloon breaking through the ice and returning to its master.
--Does it seem that I miscalculated the hardness? Ok~ ready for the second round Tokoyami~
--…Delighted.
Tokoyami is a fun guy although he lives in a Chuunibyo delusion with a Tim Burtom-style gothic plot, it's fun to fight him since he's the closest thing to fighting a JoJo~ and his Stands.
--Dark Shadow! Raise!
The shadows within Tokoyami rose and reformed wrapping around him, the shape rough and rough but it was definitely armor or stand.
--Oh~ ok I'll get serious too~ ICE ARMOR!
Gauntlets and ice greaves covered my arms and legs, these did not have the same vicious demonic vision as the previous one but a simple and neat western armor design.
--...
--...
We both nodded and charged at each other.
***
Somewhere in the stands.
--Are they really freshmen?
--Don't ask me, I'm betting on the ice boy.
***
*MUDA*MUDA*MUDA*MUDA*MUDA*MUDA*MUDA*MUDA*MUDA*MUDA*!!!
*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*Gah!*
*WRYYYYY!*
Sadly, the exchange of good blows was short when I managed to nail a strong punch to its entire beak followed by a dry kick to the jaw sending Fumikage Tokoyami flying without wings.
--It was a good fight~ Should we do it again sometime~?
I spoke to my opponent but he was unconscious and foaming at the mouth... I think I missed my hand?
***
Although after a little verbal criticism from Midnight-sensei for the accidental "Over-kill" to Tokoyami I was declared the winner and qualified for the finals without further problems.
--Yuji-kun~ !!!
An energetic voice with a slight accent reached my back followed by a sensation of pressure of two spherical bodies against it.
--Mei-chan~ you shouldn't jump on my back.
--I apologize~ but I wanted to do it~
"I don't understand you, Mei...
The mechanical genius for some reason is hanging from my neck without the slightest interest in letting go, I know that she is a bit crazy and trying to find the logic to her train of thoughts is a useless effort but... Why does she seem so happy?
His dark circles have diminished, but the smudges of motor oil, grease, and soot are still on his uniform, but for some reason his skin looks glowing and his eyes are clear and focused, free of their usual madness and despair, I swear to god. that I can see stars in them and that scares me.
--Yuujiiii~Kun~ We got a budget extension~!
--Huh?
--Why the long face Yuuji-kun~? We got a budget extension and private investment from some hero companies and support agencies, with this our Babys will be even better~
--I see, congratulations Mei-chan...Wait! Our Babies ?!
--Of course our Babies! Thanks to your hands my body is in better condition than ever to bring our Babys into the world~
--Okay…I have many things to say about this but I'm glad, you are one step closer to your dream Mei-chan~
--Thank you~ Yuujiii-kun~
Mei continued to hang from my neck and rub against my face in a state of ecstasy and happiness. Although his words and actions give way to an infinity of misunderstandings.
--Okay~ Let's go get some juices~
I moved my hands under her soft and juicy thighs and settled her on my back, carrying a pretty and somewhat crazy girl on my back while taking some liberties, I can only smile and accept my luck. Do you want to misunderstand~? For what i care!
--Charge Yuuji-kun~
--Yes, Ma´n
***
--I have to tell the others~!
A set of floating sportswear rushed away in the opposite direction of the young couple, bringing with it a great deal of misunderstanding and future heartache for the young black-haired man.
