Chereads / One punch man:Traveling between worlds / Chapter 28 - The calm before the storm

Chapter 28 - The calm before the storm

What a bad situation I'm in now, the villains know me and now my friends are looking at me with a surprised expression, but before they could say anything Dabi broke the ice. (irony because his fire is cold)

- You bastard! - Dabi threw a wave of fire towards me and the others I defended with my arms and the others dodged it.

💭 Tch what a situation.

- Saito-kun! - Toga appears next to me attacking with her knives and I had to dodge- I didn't want to hurt you, but it's my job I wanted things to be different. - she said to me.

💭Damn, I can't do much in this situation!

I kept dodging Toga's attacks until Mezo told us to retreat as they caught Bakugou and Tokoyami, I knew what was happening, but Dabi threw a huge wave of fire towards me and the wind sent me flying a few meters.

- Tch what a bad situation I'm in now! - I complain, getting up from the floor with my coat destroyed. - Wow, I liked that outfit! - I shout angrily.

I give a boost of speed and I punch Mister Complice which causes him to release the balls that Bakugou and Tokoyami had, I catch Tokoyami and Shoto tried to catch Bakugou, but he couldn't and Kurogiri appears opening a portal .

- It's been 5 minutes since the signal, time to leave Dabi. - said Kurogiri, opening portals for the villains.

- We'll talk better again Saito-kun, don't forget. - Toga said this, entering the portal waving at me.

Twice also entered and Mister Complice snapped his fingers releasing the two boys and he looked at me with hatred, I just responded by giving him the middle finger.

With that Bakugou was kidnapped and the villains fled with their objective accomplished.

And with that our days at the camp end with the victory of the villains.

*******************

Following day.

*******************

All U.A students are at home, others are in hospitals, while I'm in heaven thinking about everything I've done to date.

-Is what I'm doing really right? I changed a lot of things, I caused chaos with the villains, I changed some people's opinions and now there are people making rumors about what I did with Stain. - I let out a sigh - I think the better question would be if I'm doing well as a hero. - I say this with a neutral expression. - I better visit Momo. - I say this flying to the hospital.

I arrived at the hospital and told the nurse that I was a friend of Momo's and that I wanted to visit her. After that I go in and talk to Momo who is surprised to see me.

- Saito! - says Momo, looking at me with wide eyes. - How are you? - I ask, taking a chair and sitting next to her.

- I still have a headache from my fight, but other than that I'm fine. - Momo said to me, but I wanted to be sure so I approached Momo, taking her by surprise and I touched her forehead. - S-Saito?! - Momo said, looking red. - Stay still. - I say this with a serious expression and Momo did what I said.

I use my telepathy and I go into Momo's mind and use her brain to feel everything she is feeling and I use that to see how her body is. After a few seconds I move away from her.

- You're fine, just with some pain in your bones and head, I say that the day after tomorrow you'll be better. - I say this leaving Momo surprised again. - How do you know that? - she asks me. - I used my telepathy to enter your brain and see the state of your body, as the brain is the organ that controls the body, I just did an "analysis" like a computer to see if there is a virus in the system. - I explain this to her.

- This quirk of yours is really impressive and the ways you can use it can save many lives. - Momo said this, being very impressed. - I would say that I was the only one who expanded my telepathy a lot, my mother not much. - I say that.

💭Well, she doesn't even need to do that.

There was silence between us until Momo opened her mouth.

- I'm very grateful for what you did Saito. If it weren't for you I would probably be dead. - Momo said with a sad expression. - I long to be a hero, but I could barely defend myself! What's the point of having a good individuality if I don't know- I interrupt her by placing a finger on her lips.

- Listen Momo, no hero was born knowing what they could do with their powers. This applies to all heroes and that includes me too. I wasn't born with mastery of my powers, I had to train a lot to be where I am now. So don't blame yourself for what happened, be happy that you're alive because that's what matters now. - I say this, removing my finger from her mouth.

When I said that Momo looked at me with a shocked expression and then she started laughing.

- Why the laugh? - I ask. - No, no, it's nothing big. It's just that I think it's really funny that you're good with words, but it doesn't show that you're very social. - she says this laughing.

Now that she said it, I stopped to think, I don't talk much with class A. Yes, I'm a classmate of theirs, but the only people I've talked to are Shoto, Izuku, Mina, Iida and Momo. Of course there are other students, but I rarely talk to them much.

💭So I'm antisocial like Sasuke?!

I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

💭 NO! NO! This will not happen!!!

I was going to say something to Momo, but I see that All Might and the other police guy entered the room.

-Ahh! Young Midoriya, we're lucky to see you here. Apparently you came to visit young Yaoyorozu. - said All Might.

- Yes, I came to visit her first. Now what are you two doing here? - I ask them.

They explain that they are here to investigate the attack on the camp and that they hope the students have some clues about the villains.

Momo said what happened in her vision. She said about the Nomu that attacked her and about me saving her from killing the Nomu.

When All Might would ask me about what I know, I simply give him a paper.

- What is that? - All Might asks me. - This is a paper with the exact location of the villains' league hideout, more precisely the place where Shigaraki Tomura gathers all the villains. - I say this leaving everyone in the room shocked.

- How did you acquire this, young man? - said All Might with a serious expression he is not even smiling. - The next day after the practical test, I saw a suspicious man walking and I used my telepathy to tell me what he knows. He told me everything that is happening and that he is taking recruits to where Shigaraki is, so I command him to do what he was doing while I followed him. That's why I know where they are. - I said that to him, but I didn't say it about the fact that I talked to the villains.

- You know what you did could get you arrested, don't you know, young man? - All Might said that to me. - But you also know if I hadn't done that you wouldn't know where the villains are, would you? - I say this looking at All Might.

With that they left the room warning me that if I get involved with things without the heroes' permission I could be arrested.

💭It's too early for them to say that.

- Saito why did you do that? - asked Momo. - Because I'm a hero. Or that's what I think. - I say that. - like this? - she says this confused. - Nothing just get better Momo. I say this leaving the hospital and I see Kirishima and Shoto on the way, but I don't talk to them.

💭 I don't know if these sacrifices I'm making will be worth it. I fear that when that day comes I may no longer go to U.A.

(One thing I forgot to say. The paper also has the location of the nomu written on it.)

Following day. Izuku's vision.

I wake up after what happened on the day of the camp.

I don't feel well at all and I'm worried about Kota if he's okay.

During this I receive visits from my friends and they are happy to see that I am better. They say that Momo is recovering but she is awake and Toru and Jirou are still unconscious. Shoto also says that Bakugou and my brother aren't here.

This reminds me of what happened with Kazinho and I spill everything to my friends. When I finished saying everything I felt, Kirishima said that he and Todoroki came to the hospital yesterday and they heard my brother, Momo, All Might with a police officer talking.

He told me that my brother knows the location of the villains and that he had written down the location on a piece of paper and that now my brother is at risk of being arrested.

- So are you going to ask Saito Midoriya to tell you where the villains are located? - Iida asked with a serious expression. - What if we ask? - replied Todoroki, making Iida grind his teeth.

💭Not that.

- Didn't you hear what All Might said? It's time to leave it to the authorities! It's not up to us to interfere, you idiots!!! - Iida shouted frustrated, scaring everyone.

- We already know that! But do you want to know? I couldn't do anything!!! After I knew that my friend was a target I couldn't do anything! What if we don't do anything now! I won't be able to be a hero and not even a real hero! - shouted Kirishima.

- Hey Kirishima, be quiet, we're in a hospital. I know this is bad, but....- Iida is right.- Tsuyu finishes for Kaminari.

-I know Iida and you are right, but ...-Kirishima extends his hand to me.- Then Midoriya his hand still reaches. We can do something! - Kirishima said, looking at me with a desperate expression.

I was going to respond to what Kirishima said, but someone spoke first and that person was my brother.

- And get killed in the process? Kirishima do you have any idea what you're coming up with? This could cause the death of you, Izuku and Shoto. - My brother said this entering the room and the atmosphere became much worse.

- It's easy for you to say that, Saito! After all, you are the one who has enough strength to go head to head with All Might! - Kirishima shouted, approaching my brother. - Hey boys, let's go... - My brother interrupts Mina. - Don't interfere Mina. You're right Kirishima it's a bit hypocritical of me to say that considering what I can do, but that doesn't excuse what you're suggesting. Are you aware of the risk you are placing? None of you are still recovered from what happened at the camp and you still want to go after the villains in the state you are in? - he said with a serious expression.

Not one person opened their mouth after my brother said this and it's like the air left the moment he appears. If there's one thing I fear more than villains, it's the pressure my brother releases when he's angry and in this situation he's very furious.

- I know that you 3 really want to rescue Bakugou, but you have to be aware of the risk that you can bring. In addition to the risk of your lives ending on this mission, you could also be arrested and everything you are hoping for will go to waste. But are you stubborn enough to take my brother along, even though he's in a worse state than you, and still think you have the right to ask me for something? - My brother said that and I felt the pressure in the room getting really bad and I could have sworn I saw the wall crack.

💭Not that!

Everyone was scared of what my brother was going to do and I saw the expressions of fear coming from my friends. If there's one thing I learned from my brother, it's that he's very protective of me and that he loses his temper when that happens.

- Yes! Because I want to save my friend! Even if you didn't want to I'll do it! - Kirishima says this, standing face to face with my brother who has a very serious expression.

I thought my brother was going to do something, but he simply gave Kirishima another piece of paper and left without saying anything else.

When my brother left, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

- Wow, I thought I was going to die! - Kaminari said that. - I was almost fainting! - Mineta said, getting up from the floor.

- I've never seen Saito like this. - Mina said this looking at the door with a worried expression.

-That paper he gave you? - Todoroki said this to Kirishima who opened the paper. - He gave us the paper that says the location we wanted! - Kirishima said shocked.

-But why would he do that? - Iida replied in surprise.

- I will know? I'm just glad he didn't kill me. - Said Kirishima.

💭What's happening to you brother?

**************

Hours later. Saito's vision

I don't know what's happening to me. During these 3 days I wonder if what I'm doing is a good idea.

If I interfere in the story of Boku no Hero and the risks that I can bring.

Even though I know almost everything that can happen, I can't help but be scared of the things that I can't expect to happen.

Now I'm at risk of being arrested and lost and being treated as a student. I don't know if everything I'm doing is right and I can't think of anything else.

- I wish you were here. - I say this remembering my parents. - Well, this is not the time to cry over spilled milk. What I'm about to do now has no turning back. This could be my last day that I should be seen as a hero. - I say this by putting on my mask and flying in the direction where the heroes will attack the villains.

On the way I hear what the press is saying to the teachers and the director and I have to admit that the media only serves to disrupt the academy.

💭Everything they want is proof in their faces and to have holes in them to get attention. These journalists are useless!

I fly to where my brother and his group went and the moment I arrive I see an explosion and I already know who was responsible.

- So he's finally here. - I say this feeling my heart beat with nervousness. - All for One...- I say his name with a serious expression.
