CHAPTER 9: NOT WORTH RISKING
OOMF!
You collide with something firm.
"You're not a student... Why are you roaming the halls?" A low and tired voice reaches your ears.
He takes a closer look at you and finds multiple injuries, wondering where you got them. And following right after was the two girls, looking quite bloodthirsty with their quirks activated. He notices your widening orbs, so he acts quickly.
His hair floats and his eyes glow red. The girl's heated fists cool down, making her pause in confusion, but whimpers when she finally sees an adult there. The fabric that threateningly levitated around him went towards the bullies like snakes. They wrapped around their bodies tightly, restraining them.
"You two should be ashamed!" He scolds, angry at their terrible behavior in such a prestigious school, a hero school of all places.
━━━━━━
After following him and watching the three girls be forced to leave, he now walks with you, insisting that you go to the Nurse's Office.
"Are you okay?" He asks, breaking the silence.
"Yes, thank you."
His eyes narrow. "If you don't mind, I want to know why you decided to run."
A part of you trusts him to tell the truth. "My body is still recovering, and I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore..."
'Anymore'? He thought.
You look at your palm. "And my quirk, it's too much for this place to handle... I believed it was not worth risking the lives in this building to save myself. That left me with trying to find an exit..."
His eyes softened, understanding that you made the right decision. You clearly thought the whole situation out without succumbing to your emotions. If it weren't for your level-headed thinking, there would've been some injured students.
You earned some respect.
"Next time, just look for a teacher."
━━━━━━
Shuzenji [f/n]. I knew that name sounded familiar.
He watches as Recovery Girl mercilessly treats your injuries, and you insult her for it. It appears to be a normal thing between the two. Chiyo doesn't use her quirk, and this was because she wants you to learn from your mistakes.
"OW! OW! CAN'T YOU BE NICER WITH THAT DISINFECTANT, YOU HAG?!"
"BRAT! IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR CAUSING TROUBLE! WHY IS IT THAT YOU ALWAYS GET HURT WHEN YOU'RE ALONE?!"
Aizawa sighs, and takes this moment to put in eyedrops. "So she's the Shuzenji everyone talks about."
Your eyes brighten. "Oh? So I'm popular?!"
Chiyo slaps your burned wrist. "Don't get too full of yourself."
"OWIE! YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT!" You cried.
She finishes up by sticking a pink bandage to the scratch on your left cheek, and wrapping bandages on the burn. You embarrassingly mumble a thanks before standing up and heading for the door.
"Also, the tour is over for you. You're going back to the hospital." She then turns back to her computer.
"Whaaat?! But I barely ate—"
"Then eat the hospital lunch. Eraserhead, can you please drive her back?"
"Sure."
You groan.
━━━━━━
The door was unlocked, and when you walk in you find a nurse placing a tray of food on the table. But what caught your attention was the bouquet of red roses.
What..?
You find a small card attached.
I love you more
It says. No name at all.
"Excuse me, nurse? Who sent these?" You motioned to the roses.
She smiles. "Oh! Someone ordered it to be delivered to you. Looks like you have a secret admirer!" And she leaves.
. . .
That's... creepy...
It was strange because you've never met anyone else, besides Recovery Girl and Midnight, that knew your room number. Plus they wouldn't be the ones send these, because they were at U.A.
You took a whiff. They were fresh, and the strange scent was calming.
A part of you imagined it was from Hazaki, so you smile, and took a single rose to bed. You take out your flip phone and went through your contacts.
CONTACTS ( 2 )
Midnight
Hazaki
You and him exchanged numbers today. Maybe you'll be the first to send a text.
━━━━━━
You were just relaxing in bed, until you hear a knock at your door. It was quite late, and almost at the end of visiting hours.
"Come in," you say.
In came a very tired looking girl, with messy black hair, white horns, round-rimmed glasses with swirls, and wearing a wrinkled black and white men's suit. She was holding a clipboard with a lot of paper on it.
"H-Hello, [f/n]-san. My name is Revolia, or Lia for s-short." She fixes her glasses with nervous lips.
She wasn't familiar to you. "Um, hello..? What do you want?"
"My q-quirk is called True Persuasion. I'm here to become your private secretary."
"Secretary? Why?"
She fixes her glasses again. "Because you have a lot of p-potential, and I w-want to make you... successful..!"
You sigh. "Sorry I—"
Immediately, Lia cuts you off. "I will become your secretary."
And instantly you respond, "Yes, you will be my secretary."
━━━━━━
Aaand another day of training!
Like always, you went to an empty field near the hospital to train, and updated your notes.

Quirk Name: Equal Link
1. Create a LINK / CONNECTION with an object with physical touch
2. Manipulate the object: change its shape or change its temperature
3. Share incoming damage with your body
Disadvantages to overuse:
- muscle fatigue
- nausea
- just feel like dying
Extra Notes:
- the only damage that is shared in a connection is from outside forces, like someone's blade or when someone smashes the object you're linked to
- when a linked object causes physical damage to yourself, that specific damage doesn't share with the linked object
- the connection is one way, meaning whenever you manipulate the linked object, it doesn't simultaneously manipulate your body too
- the object you're linked to can't directly apply lingering damage(like fire and ice) to yourself
- you can use energy to lessen the changes that you receive
- you can't link with your body, so you can't manipulate your body
- a connection can be cut intentionally, or it'll eventually cut after 15 minutes. this means you need to touch the object again to make another connection
