Leaving Mirko's room I couldn't help but think her behaviour was a bit weird. Even if she is a bit moved at me helping her, she is the complete opposite of yesterday. I guess she'll return to normal after she recovers.
Right now, I was heading back to UA. Since she's awake there's no need for me to stick around for long. I would just visit her occasionally, now I wanted to train with The Big 3, I had promised I would at some point.
I started heading to my dorm first. I needed a shower after two days of activity. Calling Giran would also be nice, but it's not that urgent right now, the drug shouldn't be circulating yet.
After my shower I headed to Gym Gamma, Mirio said that's where most of the students train in their free time, either in groups or alone. Upon entering I couldn't help but notice there were quite a few students present.
If I didn't know any better I would think I had just walked into their class. But classes were over for a while now. Seems Mirio wasn't joking when he said that most students practice here.
In the room, I could see at least 50 people. Meaning there were students from both the second and third year here. Between them, I could see 3 people training together. Obviously The Big 3, what other groups would I really care about enough to notice?
I don't know if they are actually officially called that yet, regardless, they are still at the top of the student body. Heading in their direction I could feel some gazes on me, maybe some students wanting a rematch from last time. The gazes stopped eventually, probably returning to their own training.
Reaching the group, Mirio was the first one to notice my presence.
"Allan, great to see you here." He's said with a wide smile.
"Well, you did say we should train together at some point." I didn't sound as excited, but I was still in a good mood.
Suddenly I could hear a voice from above."OH! Allan, you came!" It obviously belonged to Nejire. I could honestly hear the smile on her face.
She was currently floating around, probably attempting to increase her speed and mobility. I just waved at her, with a smile of my own.
Tamaki was just quietly saying hi. I responded by flashing to his side and patting him on the back. An action that seemed to do a lot more harm than good, he got so startled that he jumped away from me.
"I'm glad we have a chance to train together." Mirio was the one speaking now, completely ignoring what just happened, Nejire was still floating around. Tamaki was also doing his own thing.
"It's nice being here. Last time we talked we didn't really decide on an hour to train. Figured I could just show up anytime." My smile couldn't be as wide as his, it simply wasn't biologically possible.
During our small talk, Nejire came down to the earth. She's still an airhead but at least her feet were on the ground.
"Allan, let's spar again!" Well, sparring was a good form of training. Mirio also looked excited at the prospect, Tamaki started looking serious. He was only shy in social situations, just like Nejire was an airhead anywhere besides in a fight.
"Ok, you three will form a team and fight me. I will not use the speed part of my quirk."
"It's a bit disappointing to hear you say that..." Mirio said while scratching the back of his head.
Without adding much else to the conditions of the fight we all took some distance. Since I was restricting myself to this extent I could only use my quirk as an offence and defence.
Mirio started the countdown."Ok, 3, 2, 1... START!" He immediately took his stance, Nejire immediately flying into the air. Tamaki just waited for me to make the first move.
Now, my movement speed wasn't going to be used in this fight, but my attacks were still much faster than theirs.
As soon as I heard Mirio give us the go, I sent a ray of light into the ground through my leg. It travelled through the ground until it was underneath them. The second Mirio blinked I made the light exit the ground, solidified into spikes. I had made the point blunt, so as to not actually pierce them.
Mirio managed to react in time, letting the attack pass through him, Tamaki managed to jump back, avoiding a few spikes. I rose more under him, their speed was too much for him already. He tried to block one by turning his hand into a shell, but the 'spike' cracked his shell and knocked him out.
Nejire was a bit slow to react, she sent quite a few waves towards me. Making me move from my current spot and losing contact with the light I had sent into the ground, dispersing it.
Her waves were still dodgeable, I quickly made a bow out of light, creating an arrow on the palm of my hand and taking aim. Mirio quickly came out of the ground, completely naked, and tried to punch me in the face.
I quickly ducked and turned the bow into a staff, a close-quarters fight might be what he was looking for, he was phasing through most of my attacks, I was blocking and dodging. Nejire was sending waves, blocking my escape paths. I could easily just take the attacks, I was still a logia, but it would honestly feel like cheating.
While swinging my staff Mirio made a mistake, he dodged backwards, I quickly extended the length of my staff and whacked him over the head with it. Seeing him fall to the ground was satisfying, most likely because it was a good fight.
Now the only one left was Nejire. Since she was flying she was keeping her distance from me, usually, she would get close for her waves to be less dodgeable, but now she was probably hoping to tire me out.
Not a bad plan, the continuous dodging coupled with my weights would eventually become exhausting, these were, as Shigaraki called class 1-A, the 'Golden Eggs' of their generation.
I quickly reformed my bow while dodging, aiming would be hard if I just kept dodging her waves, so I formed a sphere of light around me. I could already block punches from All Might, Nejire's waves wouldn't be that bad in comparison.
The second one of her attacks passed me, I created a small gap into the sphere, shooting my arrow towards her. The second the arrow left my grasp it turned into a ray of light. The bow was mostly a cosmetic honestly. I didn't even know how to use one properly.
She was dodging around, but I wasn't trying to hit her directly, the 'arrow' went about 1 meter above her. The second it reached her it exploded, not an extremely big explosion, just enough force to knock her out of the air.
It worked wonders, the explosion sent her flying towards the ground. I quickly flashed at her and caught her, the fight was already over, no reason to let her hit the ground.
I placed all three of them on the ground, neither was that badly injured. I gave them about 10-15 minutes to wake up.
The first one to wake up was Tamaki, he was also the first one to be taken out, he looked a bit ashamed.
"Don't feel too bad, my attacks were a bit difficult. But you still reacted in time, if you had something stronger to block it you would have made it out." I was never good at comforting people.
But he seemed to appreciate the attempt, disregarding how bad it was. Muttering a small thank you. Having a rare smile was on his face.
Both Nejire and Mirio woke up at the same time. They both were a bit shaken, getting hit in the head was most likely the cause.
"Maybe we should still take them to recovery lady..." Tamaki made a logical suggestion.
"Yeah, that sounds about right." I was afraid of what was to come.
I left for the infirmary, Tamaki carried Mirio and I carried Nejire.
After placing them on the beds I turned around and saw a furious Recovery lady. I had hoped to avoid this beating, but here it is. I made my head solid as it received the cane from the old hero.
"It was my fault! I am sor-" I was trying to speak as the beating continued. It didn't matter how strong I became, I still fell victim to her rage.
Tamaki looked on in horror, as she was defeating me. Mirio and Nejire just found it amusing.
I eventually managed to escape, saying my goodbyes to them and leaving, albeit with a few bumps on my head.
I quickly reached my room and drifted off to a much-needed sleep. I'd have time to worry about things later.
