Chapter 22: Level 22
For a sweet little old grandma that gave people gummies and kissed their booboos to make it all better, Recovery Girl was actually mildly terrifying.
"So," she sat in her desk chair, a cold look in her beady eyes as she glared at him, a fresh stir fry by her side to reduce joint pain. She frowned, moving her lips to taste the food and then popped her neck. "You're telling me that you have no medical knowledge to speak of?"
Izuku sat opposite her, wondering what the hell happened to that excited old woman that was thrilled that she might be able to retire soon? Or the one that lunged for the joint pain food? He missed that one. Not this serious medical professional that was grilling him for not knowing what bone went where! "Not really, ma'am."
She sighed. That sigh sounded so disappointed that his ancestors were probably going to disown him if he didn't try to make things better as soon as possible. "I guess it wasn't needed with a quirk like yours. I thought so too when I was your age. Guess I'll try to shove eight years of medical knowledge into your head."
"Umm, but why?" His answer was a swift whack to the head by a cane.
"Because! Even if your quirk lets you be lazy and heal people easily, medical knowledge is still important! We don't even know if your food has a downside like my own quirk does." Recovery girl growled and then let out a long sigh that had her looking older by the second. "Listen, relying on just your quirk can be a major danger, especially when you barely understand how it works. I'm trying to not let you make the same mistakes I did."
"Did umm, something happen, ma'am?" Izuku asked, seeing the sad glint in her eye.
Recovery Girl stared at him for a moment. "My quirk can kill. It drains peoples stamina to heal them. I made the mistake of using my quirk on someone's injury when their body was already drained from other treatments. That's why you're going to learn medicine so you can be spared that fate boy."
Izuku swallowed. "Alright, where do we start?"

Thanks quirk. Much like with Lunch Rush, his quirk changed, indicating that he was going to be getting skills and ranks from working with Recovery Girl. Apparently, Doctor was a skill. Was there more that he could do with it like cooking? Was there a way to combine the two? Maybe.
"First things first, you're going to be my assistant. That means I need to understand your quirk." Recovery Girl tapped her cane on the ground. "So, let's start with your food because that's easy to understand. So, tell me, those numbers you mentioned, what exactly do they do?"
"Umm." It wasn't really that easy, the numbers really didn't mean a whole lot. "For umm injuries 25hp can remove sore throats, small cuts, and bruises, I can make something that restores 50hp but we haven't really tested it on anything more."
"Hmm, guess that's why you'll be cooking with Lunch Rush then. What about stamina? Right now that's probably the most useful thing for you here, especially if what it recovers and what my quirk drains are actually the same thing." She took another bite of his food, humming to herself. "Furthermore what exactly are the requirements for the activation? I felt better after a single bite of your food."
"I'm not exactly sure, but it starts after the first bite if you intend to eat most of it as a meal." Izuku scratched the back of his head remembering the french toast Itsuka ate over a year ago. She only took a bite of it but got the full duration only to stop. "You might only need to take a single bite of it, but I don't think you get an extra effect from the same meal. It can be shared though."
But for stamina he really didn't know. It just seemed kind of vague. "For stamina, if I had to guess maybe twenty five points was like an hour rest?"
"Hmm, better than nothing. If anything, the placebo should help." She tapped her cane again. "For now I have a few thermoses prepared in my fridge." She pointed to the mini fridge located near one of the patient beds. "I keep yogurt, nuts, and cheese in there to give people an extra boost of energy. For now I want you to make the highest stamina recovery soup you can and write down the effects."
"Right! I'll ask Lunch Rush-sensei what would be the best."
The door slammed open, revealing a very distraught looking Itsuka. Her gym uniform looked like it had exploded off of her right arm, leaving on her sports bra in place, the arm looked red, and bruised. She was carrying an severely injured redhead boy that looked, well-
[Doctor check succeeded. He looks fucked up.
That's not supposed to bend that way!]
"Help!" Itsuka shouted looking down at the boy she was carrying. "He's hurt really bad."
"Itsuka?" Izuku stood and moved to help her with the boy. "What happened?"
"Izuku? What are-" She shook her head and started walking for a bed in the back. "Never mind, We were doing combat training and he asked me to hit him as hard as I could."
"Did you?" Izuku asked, as he placed the boy onto the bed making certain he was out of Recovery Girl's way. He noticed a chunk of concrete in the boys spiky red hair. "It looks like you sent him into a wall."
"No!" Itsuka's ears went red, almost matching the color of her arm. "I didn't go all out, that would have probably made my arm explode. And I didn't send him through a wall." she paused and looked really guilty while holding onto her injured arm wincing at the pain. "It was three."
"Boy, you better stop flirting and start helping." Recovery girl moved over the boy and frowned. "Kirishima, right?"
"Right. His quirk is Hardening. And-" Itsuka was cut off.
"Yes, I saw his records. Izuku, make a stamina soup for him, and get your girlfriend something for her arm. There's ingredients in the fridge, fresh from the student garden if that matters." Recovery Girl began working on Kirishima's form her lips extending to kiss the boy.
"Right uhh, one second, Itsuka."
"It's fine, not like I'm in excruciating pain or anything." Itsuka huffed rolling her shoulder and wincing at the pain. If using One for All did that to her, then maybe it was a good thing that he didn't actually get it. Who knows what the hell would happen with his quirk?

"Here," He handed the Salad in a Cup to Itsuka and stumbled for a second. Wow, back to back foods like that with his quick cooking feat was rough. But he managed to do it, and the soup was even one with a huge stamina bonus. But why was it fizzing?
Itsuka poured the salad into her mouth and chewed on it slowly looking like a squirrel with over stuffed cheeks, her teal eyes locked onto him as he moved to give Kirishima the uhh, Mountain Dew.
"Why's it fizzing?" Recovery Girl asked glaring at his concoction. "Did you just pour soda into a bowl?"
"No, sorry, my food is just really random sometimes." Izuku moved towards Kirishima's mouth, Itsuka moved over, her arm now healed, and lifted up the boy's head just so that Izuku could start pouring the fizzing hot liquid down the boy's throat.
"It's true, one time he made a Sandwich that tasted like a steak." Itsuka sounded hungry. Maybe she was dropping a hint on what he should make for dinner. Wait, Itsuka always sounded hungry. Now he was hungry.
Kirishima's eyes opened and he coughed on the soup while sitting up. He blinked with tears in his eyes still coughing and then swallowed. He licked his lips and shuddered. "Why do I taste Doritos and Mountain Dew?"
Izuku shrugged and poured what remained of the soup down the drain. "Sorry, my quirk is weird."
"How are you feeling, young man?" Recovery Girl moved over to him and tapped on the arm that had been bent in places that weren't supposed to bend. "You just had a dozen broken bones and ribs fixed."
"What? Really?" Kirishima jumped onto the floor and flexed. "I feel great! Like I just got out of the hot springs! What even happened to me?"
"My girlfriend punched you through three walls." Izuku poked Itsuka in the arm and stuck his tongue out at her.
Watching her blush was worth any trouble he'd get in later.
[Itsuka Kendo: Weren't we going to keep our relationship kinda secret?
Momo Yaoyorozu: I believe so? Why are people talking about us?
Izuku Midoriya: Sorry, just uhh, wanted to show off!
Nejire Hado: Oooh! Did Izuku assert dominance by kissing Itsuka in front of someone?
Itsuka Kendo: What? No! Nothing like that!]
"Woah man," Kirishima looked at them with wide eyes smiling at them. "Your girlfriend is really freaking awesome by the way. And hey did you help heal me? That's so manly! I'm Eijiro Kirishima by the way! Nice to meet you!"
"Izuku Midoriya." Izuku took Eijiro's hand and nodded. "I'm going to be helping with Recovery Girl and Lunch Rush, and I'll be taking some hero classes in the evening."
[Achievement Unlocked: First Friend that isn't a girl.
Wow, it took you 18 years to find someone dumb enough to want to be your friend. Don't worry I won't touch him. Shoto on the other hand.

"Woah man that's awesome I-"
A cane to Izuku's head silenced Kirishima. "Alright that's enough out of you. Clearly you're both feeling good enough to get back to class, so get!"
"Alright alright!" Eijiro started to march out of the room. "Catch you later Izuku!"
"Yeah," Itsuka leaned in and kissed Izuku on the cheek. "See ya later."
Izuku smiled as he watched his girlfriend leave the room.
"Is that girl really your girlfriend?" Recovery Girl asked looking up at him with one eyebrow raised.
Izuku just smiled.
That smile didn't last long, as Recovery Girl proved to be a slave driver.
XXXX
There was steak in the kitchen.
Momo stared up at the ceiling of the room she was sharing with Izuku, Itsuka, and Nejire. It was only the second night in college and it already felt amazing. She had done better than she thought she would have during the combat training Aizawa-sensei had them do, Itsuka had punched a man through three walls, Izuku was happy with his own classes, and Nejire, Nejire was Nejire.
All in all it had been amazing. And to top it all off, Izuku had made the most mouthwatering steak she had ever eaten. At the time she had felt so full. But ever since she had gotten to bed and put on her Midnight Kimono Skin it had been all she could think about. That big thick, juicy dick, wait steak! She wanted the steak!
Okay she was also horny.
But she was mostly hungry. And she knew that she needed to go to bed because of classes in the morning. The first two days were brutal but hopefully the weekend things would calm down enough for them to relax and do all that fun relationship stuff. She only got three kisses from Izuku today! She needed at least six! And she wanted to cuddle with Itsuka!
And she really wanted that steak.
Her tail thwacked against the ground and she let out a whine.
She couldn't hold it in anymore.
Momo pulled herself off of Izuku and glared in the direction of the kitchen. She was going to eat that steak and hate herself in the morning when she weighed herself!
Stepping over Nejire - who was spread out like a starfish, her large bare breasts just begging to be fondled - Momo made her way towards the kitchen. She was the only one that hadn't kissed Nejire right? That wasn't really fair was it? And was Nejire actually in their love pile? It felt mean for Itsuka to tell her to wait.
Could she kiss Nejire too? She should ask Izuku.
After steak.
The kitchen light was even on.
And the fridge was open?
And there was noise?
But everyone else was still asleep.
It was dark. The sounds of a savage beast devouring her steak echoed throughout the kitchen. The soft slops, the crunching of bones and the moans of satisfaction echoed throughout the room and sent a chill down Momo's spine.
What was she supposed to do? Should she scream? Was there a dungeon monster here? What could even be in here? Was this the quirks doing? What should she do?
It sounded wild.
She looked past the kitchen and saw that the locked door was open.
Momo took a short sharp breath and stepped around the fridge door. A plate fell, her partially devoured steak bouncing onto the floor its juices splattering about like blood. The fingers of the creature that had been eating it were stained in red steak sauce, her mouth smeared by it and she was wearing a large oversized shirt that Izuku had thought he lost.
She was small, hunched over with long purple hair with a fang of blue.
The girl screamed.
And Momo screamed back!
The girl scrambled back and bolted towards the door where it slammed shut.
"Momo!" Izuku scrambled out of the bedroom, Itsuka soon after, and Nejire yawned after her.
"What happened?" Itsuka asked.
"Oh no, you dropped the steak." Nejire mumbled yawning and leaning against Itsuka.
Momo swallowed and pointed towards the door, her mind still trying to process what the fuck just happened! "There was a person! A short girl went into that door!"
[No there wasn't!]
[Momo Yaoyorozu is delusionally horny and is seeing things, try doggy style!]
