Endeavor, who was seriously injured in the Fourth Hospital, woke up.
As consciousness gradually became clear, the pain of the wounds on the body became more intense.
The first thing he saw was Accelerator staring at him intently.
He just listen to what his adopted son said.
"Endeavor, you really make people worry."
Endeavor slowly closed his eyes and opened them again.
His voice is no longer as full of energy as before, now it sounds like he is still very weak, so even the voice seems low and hoarse.
That's because during the high-intensity battle, he has been holding back not to vomit blood, and all the pressure is concentrated in the throat, causing unnecessary damage.
"Tell me first, what is the situation in this city now?"
Compared to others' concern for his physical condition, Endeavor cares more about the innocent.
Accelerator of course knows the thinking mode of his guardian, and directly answers.
"The situation has stabilized, and fortunately, most of the casualties are professional heroes."
"The hero killer Stain and the enemies of the League of Villains have basically been solved by me."
Endeavor only felt relieved when he heard his words. As the tense nerves relaxed again, even the fog on the oxygen mask became more.
After a while, Endeavor continued to say.
"If I could be stronger, I think the situation would be much better, don't you think?"
Accelerator answered a little uncomfortably.
"Huh, if you can be tens of times stronger than you are now, maybe you can do it."
"You better wake up, Endeavor."
"Without the combat suit designed by me for you, you would have died in that battle."
"The main target of the League of Villains this time is you."
Endeavor's face, full of small scars left by the battle, had a weak smile and said.
"Hahaha, it's easier for professional heroes to deal with."
"Compared to targeting innocent people, it's undoubtedly much better. Heroes have too many things to protect."
"No matter what the purpose is, walking on this path means protecting others with your life."
"I am no exception."
"These are our jobs after all."
Even though he had long known that Endeavor would fulfill his duties with action, it still didn't feel good.
In fact, Endeavor's existence had as much impact on Accelerator as that person's battle, or All Might's belief.
Facing despair and hardship, this man, who could be described as the limit of ordinary people, was constantly striving in his own way.
It was through observing Endeavor that Accelerator understood a lot about the flaws in him as an ordinary person, and truly made him understand that even if his strength far surpassed Endeavor, he still couldn't change the fact that he was an ordinary person.
But this sense of fulfillment doesn't seem bad to Accelerator, he continued to say.
"Heh, Endeavor, if you die because of this, wouldn't it be extremely ironic?"
Facing Accelerator's sarcasm, Endeavor obviously didn't care, shook his head and responded directly.
"I won't die."
Endeavor's baseless confidence made Accelerator a little upset, he added.
"This statement really has no persuasive power, are you serious?"
"Full body comminuted fractures, the abdomen has been opened a big hole and it's okay to continue to deepen, and the brain has a mild concussion, even the throat and vocal cords are injured."
"Excuse me for being blunt, I simply don't see the possibility that you can survive another attack of this intensity!"
"Even I can't always get there in time!"
"You almost died! Do you know that, Endeavor!"
"If you really die, what about your family? Are you going to leave Todoroki Shoto and them again? I don't want to help you clean up these troublesome ends, don't even think about it!"
Accelerator mentioned Endeavor's daughter and family, which made him a little silent, but the silence was only for a short while, Endeavor spoke again.
"I understand what you mean, but I have no choice."
"As it stands, those criminals can choose their own targets, but we don't have that opportunity."
"Isn't that the case?"
"I absolutely won't die."
Accelerator looked at Endeavor lying on the hospital bed, his face was weak but his expression was resolute, his attitude was extremely determined, and he helplessly turned his head away.
"Tsk, so you really are a bastard who doesn't understand the situation."
Then, Accelerator left the ward, there was no need to engage in meaningless arguments, and Endeavor, whose injuries had just stabilized, also needed rest time.
In fact, there are some things that Accelerator did not choose to tell Endeavor, his guardian's physical and mental state, at present, has no spare capacity to change anything.
"All Might is fighting a powerful enemy in a nearby city, All Might is fine, but the enemy was seriously injured and fled with the ability to fly."
"The goal of the League of Villains has been achieved, NO.2 Flame Hero Endeavor was seriously injured under the enemy's siege, just in this city, there are dozens of professional heroes who have sacrificed for public duty, hundreds of professional heroes have suffered different degrees of injury, this has caused a certain degree of panic in the entire superhuman society."
There is no doubt that the enemy's strategy is taking effect step by step, but now due to the problem of intelligence, even Accelerator himself feels somewhat powerless.
Just then, he saw someone coming this way.
Among them were Endeavor's subordinates, as well as Recovery Girl from U.A. High School and others.
Under Accelerator's gaze, Recovery Girl walked to Endeavor's bedside and said.
"You're such a big person, and you're still a NO.2 professional hero, it's really not like it."
"In consideration of being an OB, I came to see you on behalf of the teachers."
If it were anyone else who dared to speak like this, even if Endeavor was still weak, he wouldn't be so calm, but Recovery Girl and the principal are old teachers from U.A.
They may not have directly taught Endeavor or All Might, but both of them were cared for by the school and treated by Recovery Girl when they were young.
And Recovery Girl, with her mouth stretched out, kissed Endeavor directly on the face, and the small wounds on Endeavor's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"That's it for today."
"I've seen your medical report, you stay put these few days, no messing around."
Recovery Girl said with a disappointed look, then turned and slowly left.
And Accelerator nodded slightly to her in thanks.
