- Ugh! - fell on some huge rocks after teleporting, landslide zone? - What an arsehole! Next time I'll turn you to ash without a second thought, you fucking smoke! - I started to look around, thinking about my mistake - I shouldn't have thought about it too long, I have to hand it to Katsumi, she set a good example, they are enemies and they didn't come to drink tea, they should have attacked right away, and then we'll deal with it, although I should save my strength for Nomu too, I'm itching to test my strength, - So, where did that bastard throw me?
- There's another one! - I heard someone shouting and the pig-masked scarecrow came out at me. I'm not going to hesitate any longer: I covered the ground where the villain was standing with flames, he immediately panicked, thinking that it was fire, reduced the distance and knocked out the boar with a blow to the jaw. Strange, where was his backup? After waiting a couple of minutes and when the attack didn't happen, I decided to look for my classmates, if I remembered the canon correctly, the students were thrown in groups. And headed in the direction the villain came from.
- Oh, so I didn't hear that! - Smiled at my appearance, the villain wearing a skull-like mask held by the scruff of Kaminari's neck. The latter used a recent quirk, because the guy was drooling and snotting and that look on his face... - come on kid, go to your girlfriends, otherwise this little friend will feel the full force of my quirk!
Okay, listening to him is not an option, wasting time here, I might miss all the interesting things elsewhere. My path is not far from the villain, I can use my quirk, but I can't stop the skull from hitting Kaminari that way, and I can't absorb electricity with my quirk.
- Yeah, sure, I'll do it,' I pretended to be scared as I looked around and slowly moved towards the girls, and then my eyes fell on Jiro, who waved her plug at me, and I had a plan!
- Don't worry, I have plans for you, so if you do as you're told, I promise you won't get killed,' the villain laughed slyly, and I took advantage of this moment and rushed towards him. Lightning struck behind me, in the place where I was a moment ago, but I couldn't stop, so I ran at full speed towards the enemy and knocked down Kaminari, literally taking his place and felt a discharge, my legs shook, and I fell, enveloping myself in flames healing the damage.
- Come on! - I shouted with all my might to the girl, and without delay she launched a sound wave that caught me too, but I just didn't remove the flames, healing new damage. A few seconds later, the villain fell, and trickles of blood could be seen on his neck. While I was healing myself the girls twisted the last villain.
- Toru, are you okay? - Jiro asked me, 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to....
- Oh, come on, - I straightened up, checking the result of the treatment, - everything is fine, see? - I jumped on the spot, twirled my arms, made a couple of bends to the sides to calm down my classmate, - we won! - I put my hand out, and the girl gave me an unsure high five. - Okay, girls, I'll head on, and you....
- We'll go too! - Jiro said right away.
- Yes! - Momo seconded her.
- No, - I nodded at their statement, - someone has to look after the villains, - I looked around the place, they did a good job - so many people twisted, - I think you understand, if they all get free and make a mess somewhere else... We can not leave them, and Kaminari is not a fighter, - and the guy just like felt that it was his exit and bent his arms at the elbow, pointing his finger up passed between us shouting 'Hey! Hey!'
- Yeah,' Jiro hesitated, giving the guy a look, 'he's worth keeping an eye on.
- Definitely,' I agreed, glad I didn't have to argue, 'Besides, I have a healing quirk.
- Toru, can't you help him? - Momo asked, pointing at Denki.
- I can, but it's dangerous, he'll repair himself and be as good as new after a while. My treatment for brain damage has a terrible side effect - memory loss, and I don't know how much he'll lose, from a couple of minutes, to his whole life. - he might even forget how to breathe, but I didn't voice that, and I don't want to remember how I tested it, sad story. In theory, on me should not be such an effect, treatment of myself and treatment of someone, my flame, is very different in effectiveness, but I do not want to test such treatment on myself.
- Okay, - agreed the girl, - it's better to wait then.
- Okay,' I turned around and headed for the centre of the training area, but was abruptly stopped.
- Toru,' Jiro held my hand, suspiciously averting her gaze, "I wanted to talk to you, but I've never had the chance, and now we're in a dangerous situation..." she said, and I hovered a bit, not understanding what she meant, and I noticed the same reaction from Momo.
- Listen, - I answered the girl with all seriousness, - you know, now is not the time and place to talk, but when all this is over I promise, we'll talk about whatever you want.
- Okay,' the girl nodded and let go of my hand, and I finally went to my destination wondering what that was all about? Talk about what? It's not that we never talked at all, but we didn't even have the chance to be friends like Shizuka or Uraraka, and Mina, who I'm already planning to make mine, and only mine, isn't even worth talking about. It's weird, but there are more important things to do right now!
