After a few minutes of group hugging and hearing Rumi regain her energy, I took Eri towards the other hospital rooms.
Rumi couldn't come with us, she went to speak to a doctor about getting a few tests done and going home.
She seemed quite excited to get out of the hospital. But I believe they will still keep her here for a bit. It's unknown what effects Eri's quirk can have on the human body.
As for how exactly her quirk returned... Eri's quirk is said to be able to rewind even genetics. Even if the quirk was forcefully removed, there is no reason as to why her genetics couldn't be rewinded to a point where they had the quirk.
Eri's quirk is really strange still. Just like mine, her quirk can't really be placed in any known category. Mine is a bit simple, it can't be classified properly due to its multitude of uses. But Eri's quirk simply manifests differently.
It's also powered by her emotions. Overall, I would say it's more of a mutation, but also an emitter of sorts? Hard to describe.
I took Eri's hand and guided her to the rooms, one by one every student that had been injured was filled with energy and 'healed' completely.
At this point, a few of the doctors were running near us. Diagnosing patients as Eri finished rewinding them.
Under normal circumstances, a child wouldn't be allowed to use his quirk in a hospital. But I can use my identity to allow a few exceptions to happen.
Being a hero has a lot of benefits after all. Things that I couldn't really do as a vigilante. Like having controversies... Yeah, heroes are boring. At least I can flex my fame muscles and make people trust me.
Slowly, all of the students in this hospital were healed. Turned back to their healthy states to be more exact. The doctors seemed to be somewhat relieved. I guess they couldn't just take my word for it.
I wasn't exactly a doctor after all. But the people that had been healed all seemed healthy and, upon further examination, were perfectly fine.
Mineta was also healed completely. Although I didn't really want to heal him, I guess I'll give him a chance. From what I understood, he didn't even try to run away that day.
Although he was trembling like a scared puppy the whole time. He may be weak, and a pervert, but he's no coward.
Kirishima was quite thankful too. Most of his wounds weren't exactly grave, but he was still filled with bruises. He also had a broken arm.
Eri actually needed to heal him twice, mainly because I didn't appreciate him calling Eri manly. A few fists of love seemed to fix his mistake.
Monoma was also a lot more humble than usual. I guess he is only haughty to his rivals. But he was also happy to be walking again. His leg muscles were quite affected by the continuous use of Recipro Burst.
Now he was back to normal.
By the time we reached the first teacher Eri had to heal, it had already been an hour of walking around and rewinding patients.
The person in the room was still unconscious. It was Cementoss, a person familiar to both me and Eri. I could see that she looked even more determined after seeing him.
She healed him almost instantly. His limbs seemed to just reappear magically. He didn't wake up, but at least now I could hear him snore.
As the doctors removed the breathing equipment form his mouth. Apparently, his lungs were also damaged quite badly.
The next few rooms were similar.
Midnight wasn't anywhere near as hurt as Cementoss. She had still been shot once or twice. She was awake when we came in.
She seemed quite happy that we visited her. She turned even happier when Eri healed her. Eri head was quickly squashed between two mountains.
I didn't do much to help, but thankfully, Midnight released her before she passed out from lack of oxygen.
I almost regretted healing Present Mic's vocal cords. Hearing him sing was never fun, but Eri seemed to enjoy it, so I also pretended to not hate it.
Vlad was also wide awake. He thanked little Eri quite earnestly. He is a polite person after all.
Thirteen was not really injured at all. But she needed a lot of rest after what had happened.
And then there was Aizawa. Still in a coma, connected to as many machines as possible. I looked down at Eri for a bit.
I felt her little hand tighten around my finger. Her eyes seemed a bit watery. I didn't realize she got so attached to Eraser, I guess he's helped her a lot.
She ran up to him, she seemed to carefully touch him. The doctors also prepared to pull off all of the cords from the machines connected to him. The healing was instant, again.
But, Aizawa actually woke up. As the doctors were disconnecting him from every piece of equipment.
He looked up at me. Then he quickly brought his arm over his previously gouged out eye. Then he looked down and saw Eri.
A smile spread over his face as her eyes shined a bit. "Thanks, kid..." His voice was still quite gruff. Eri just nodded energetically and hugged her teacher a bit.
It was cute. Aizawa also seemed to think the same. I've never seen him look so happy.
"Glad to see you up and lively, Eraser. It's been a long day since you decided to go to sleep." I said, attracting his attention to me. His eyes turned serious.
"What happened to the others?" He asked in the same tone. Eri departed from him and came back to my side.
He probably lost consciousness somewhere in the middle of it all. Not getting to see the fate of everyone there.
"Most of them are fine... Eri healed just about everyone at this point. The only person left is Toshinori. They said he's unlikely to wake up." He looked down a bit. And sighed. A small frown appeared on his face.
"What about the students that tried to flee?" He said, probably referring to the ones that ran off from the middle of their circle. Their deaths were only confirmed after the incident was over.
I didn't outright say anything, Eri is still in the room after all. I only looked him in the eyes and shook my head. He seemed to get the message. His frown deepened as he closed his eyes a bit.
I looked down at Eri. She looked a bit confused. "I think Mister Aizawa needs some rest. Eri, let's go help Mister Toshinori." She just nodded not thinking further into the matter.
I waved Eraser goodbye. Before leaving I just said. "By the way, Nezu already made a press conference. No one is blaming the teachers openly."
He just nodded a bit. Probably taking notice of my phrasing. After all, some people still believe the teachers hold some of the faults for these casualties.
I closed the door behind me and started heading for the last one. I could already feel Toshi's state.
He looked more like a skeleton than usual. To the point where he looked like he was about to die any second. There were doctors by his side at all times. His body was already injured beyond recovery before this incident. This was just the nail in the coffin.
But, Eri will be able to heal him. I know she will, she is strong after all.
She still flinched a bit when seeing his state. She approached him slowly. The doctors that weren't informed of All Might's identity were prompted to leave the room.
It was unknown how One for All would react to Rewind. But they didn't want to risk further spreading All Might's secret identity.
As Eri put her hand on Toshi's leg, I could see his wounds slowly disappearing. His arm also reappeared, reformed out of a yellow light that enveloped his entire body.
I sighed in relief after seeing him back to the state he was previously. I didn't realize I would ever be able to call that state healthy. But Eri didn't stop there. She kept going, quickly all signs of ageing disappeared form Toshi's face.
His weak body started bulking up immensely. His body seemed to be filled with strength. It seems that Eri ended up rewinding him quite a bit.
I could see his eyelids fluttering open. I am curious whether or not he still has One for All...
