THE SINS OF THE FATHER (BnHA Dad for One AU)

CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX: Changes II

Everyone who had witnessed Izuku's new super move were still dumbfounded by what they had just witnessed. Thankfully, no student was near the crashed pillar and no one got hurt.

Still, Cementoss had decided to reset the gym for the day, letting the students on top of the pillars ride it down like an elevator. The very last one to get to the ground was Izuku who was still smiling like a child on Christmas.

But his grin immediately dissipated when he was suddenly surrounded by capture cloth and caught in a cocoon.

"We're going to Recovery Girl so she can check on you." Izuku heard his teacher say.

"You busted your arms, so now you're going to do it to your legs?" Shota stated in a stern but concerned tone.

Izuku winced after he heard that. It wasn't his intention to make anyone worry.

"I'm sorry." Izuku could only say.

--

"Hm..." Recover Girl hummed as she checked Izuku's leg.

When she finally finished, she told Shota, "Well, the good news is, he's fine. It doesn't seem like he broke anything. But just to be sure." Chiyo puckered her lips and kissed Izuku on his forehead.

Shota felt relieved.

"I'm sorry for making you worry, Aizawa-sensei." Izuku apologized.

"I know I've been acting a little off this past few days, especially at the beginning of our task. It probably worried my friends too, but I was just excited to show everyone this new fighting style and super move." He explained.

Shota frowned, then he sighed, "You really are a problem child. Exactly after I told you to take it slow, you immediately started to change your fighting style as well as create a super move."

Izuku couldn't help but chuckle nervously while scratching the back of his head.

"Come on, let's go back to the gym. The other teachers and I will be telling you students more information about the exams." Shota said as he started heading to the door. Izuku followed suit.

Once the two of them returned to Gym Gamma, the teachers wasted no time to explain to the students that Class A and Class B's exams will be at separate venues, much to the disappointment (with some relief) of one psychopathic blond.

In addition, due to All Might's recent retirement, the exams passing rate, which was previously 50% was now lowered to 10%, ensuring that those who pass are the best the next generation has to offer.

The last statement certainly left the students feeling tense but motivated.

Afterwards, Class A was allowed their leave for lunch, leaving Gym Gamma for Class B's use.

As usual, Izuku grouped up with Shouto, Ochaco, and Tenya, but this time, Tsuyu decided to join them.

--

As soon as the five of them took their seats, Izuku started stretching his back some more. Gravity Manipulation may not have the same self-destructive properties of max Power Limb—he checked multiple times, his body was still in good condition even without using the reinforcement Quirks—but it still gives the user some body fatigue after use, one of the reasons he barely used it before.

Still, their friends were worried after seeing Izuku use such power.

"Are you sure you didn't break anything?" Shouto frowned when he asked.

"Yes, Izuku," Ochaco interjected. "That attack was powerful, couldn't it have broken any of your bones?"

"We understand that the license exam is in three days, but you must prioritize your body above all else." Tenya chopmanded him.

"Guys, don't worry. I'm sure this new move didn't break any bones." Izuku assured them.

"New move?" Tsuyu asked, making the four friends look at her.

"It didn't seem different from your previous moves, except it was strong even without your leg swelling, kero." Tsuyu noted.

"Visually, it doesn't look that different," Mostly because the point of this new Quirk combo is to be Power Limb's alternative without being obviously an alternative, Izuku thought.

"But the difference is how the move works. This move may not be able to achieve the same power as max Power Limb, but it still offers amazing power without breaking my body." He explained. His friends seemed convinced.

"Then did you change your fighting style to be something more acrobatic to accompany this new move?" Shouto suddenly asked, earning the attention of the four other students.

"Yup. I thought I should try changing my fighting style since I won't be doing much melee anymore." Izuku answered with a smile as he took a sip from his juice box.

"I'm surprised you were able to do all that in seven days." Tenya commented, impressed.

"Well, it was all thanks to the help of my Dad. Every night, we'd have a video call and we'd discuss multiple options for my new fighting style and super move. Then the next day, I try our ideas at the gym. I couldn't have done it without him." Izuku couldn't help but smile.

Shouto furrowed his brows and looked away.

But then he sighed and placed his hand on the greenet's shoulder, catching Izuku off guard.

"I'm glad for you." Shouto told his friend.

NOTES: Hey, remember that time when Shouto challenged Izuku because he was jealous of/got mad at him? (￣▽￣'''')

Well, ain't happenin' again! One friendship's already ruined, I ain't addin' another one!

Also, I haven't updated at 4pm since writing the camp arc.
