Capítulo 20: Is that a Zenkai boost!? Heh
In a office the principal was together with Aizawa and All might currently having a more private meeting about the young man responsible for the defeat of the Nomu on the USJ.
"We should have a talk with him later, it's important to have him speak about his motives and drives." Principal Nezu said, he was still unsure about the youngster motivations.
" But we should be careful as well, we can not make a bad impression on Scarlatti-shounen after all of what he did to protect his classmates and professors." All might said, he didn't want to make the kid uncomfortable after all the work he put in protecting everyone.
" You guys are to worried about him, I know that Nezu is suspicious of an inside leak but please do not turn your suspicion to Scarlatti, he could have died fighting that thing, surely he could not have been the source of the villains information." Aizawa said his piece as well, he was grateful for his student and was trying to not put him in the suspicion of the director.
"Don't worry, I'll never accuse anyone without the necessary evidence. On another note chief of police Kenji was present when the detective was questioning our courageous student just before. We should see his opinion on the matter, and the analysis of his statement." Nezu said, inviting the doglike police chief to enter the office by pressing a button on his desk.
Arriving he nodded to the two professors and turned towards Nezu expecting inquiry.
"Well, tell us what you could extract from the statements he made about the events of the USJ, if he lied or his intentions." Nezu did not beat around the bush and asked.
"Well, first of all he did not lie once during the gathering of his statement. He said as well that he felt extreme danger the moment he saw the beast, he proceeded to fight it because he assumed he was the only one that was capable of defeating the monster… and he was trying to test his martial arts against it." The chief was incredulous still after he got the youngster statement, what kind of crazy person would put his life at risk to test his martial arts?
" Apparently he did not considered much before he engaged the fight, he just did not want to see the teacher die in vain and saw the challenge as a opportunity to improve." Chief Kenji finally said, he bowed and excused himself from the room.
...
There was absolute silence in the office, they sure weren't expecting this. He viewed as a challenge to better his arts? What kind of crazy statement was that?
" Hahaha, it look like we have a fighting maniac in the school, what a interesting young man!" Nezu was the first to come out of his stupor, he was impressed by the dedication of his student with his craft.
The other two just nodded dumbly, what can they say in a situation like that?
And so the meeting was postponed, and they left the office as well.
___(interlude)___
In the infermary room, Sekizan was preparing to receive the kiss of an old lady, the peck of healing of the recovery girl. He was crosslegged on the bed and was concentrated to make use of all the energy he could bear to heal and strengthen his body.
" Alright, you can do it." He said to the diminutive doctor. Closing his eyes to enter a meditative state.
The doctor in turn closed the final distance and delivered a peck on the forehead of the seated ginger, then on the two arms and finally one on the torso as well.
Sekizan felt immediately. His stamina was massively consumed and the magical healing energy formed and tried to spread throughout his body. He controlled the energy and first healed the cracked bones and ligaments putting emphasis to strengthen and harden all of his connective tissues.
Next he proceeded to repair his torn muscles, this time focussing in a more optimal configuration of fibers and proceeded to strengthen every fiber as well, he did not spent energy on his skin, he could heal his skin alone by eating, he did not have a problem to having scars on his skin, it just served as a reminder that he was not strong enough yet.
Finally using all the energy he opened his eyes and looked at the clock on the wall. It seems 3 hours have passed, he spent a long time to repair his muscles in a optimal way. In the room only his parents were present, his father seated meditating as well, while his mother was hugging his father's back dozing off.
His father immediately noticed him awakening and moved to stand, in turn startling his mother. They both approached the bed to check on his condition.
" Are you fine now bub?" Ryuji asked his son, noticing that he still had wounds on his skin.
" Yeah, all my muscles are golden, now I just need to eat to heal my skin." Sekizan in turn responded his father inquiry.
" Ahh, let me find you food then, I know you little monster eat like a bear, let me arrange food on the cafeteria." Susan said enthusiastically, she was happy that her son got better. She run out of the room intent on getting a feast to her baby boy.
Leaving the two man alone in the room, silence ensues. Ryuji walked to the window and proceeded to gaze at the distance, as if deep in thought. Sekizan did not speak, not wanting to disturb his father introspection.
But Ryuji suddenly began to speak.
" You know bub, seeing you train every day with such focus and determination, trying new techniques and training methods. Striving to be strong even if we did not give you a strong quirk as a headstart. It makes me believe that people like us can still achieve greatness." His father paused for a moment, as if trying to organize his words.
" When I received the call earlier I was a bit worried, but I was confident as well that you were okay. It's impossible that a person that passed so much time dedicating himself to his art to fall without a fight after all." He paused again, this time for a longer time.
Sekizan was not expecting his father to say something like this, he never was much of a sentimental man to begin with. But he remained silent and gave his father time to organize his thoughts.
" Then I arrived in the hospital, and you can try to hide all you want from your mother. But you cannot hide your state from me, the moment I saw you I knew that your body was wrecked." Ryuji said with a dangerous trace on his voice.
" But even with a body like that you still acted strong as to not worry us about your condition. What I'm trying to say is that I saw that you could have died today even with all the work you put into getting stronger, Soo…" Ryuji said with a more gentle voice. He took a deep breath, his next words were going to be the words coming from his heart.
" What I'm trying to say is… I'm proud of you son, I'm proud of all you accomplished, I'm proud of the toughness you build, the character you cultivated through all your tribulations. But most importantly I want you to know that I love you son, and even in this road we are walking I don't want you to forget that your father is proud and that he loves you as well." Ryuji said it finally. It was difficult for a man like him to say such words, never had he felt so proud of something as he felt when he saw his son today.
Sekizan was stupefied, he never expected something like this to leave his father's mouth. But because of this that the impact of his words became so powerful.
"Hm, I see Dad… I… I love you as well." He said, there was a bit of dust in the room making the two man's eyes turn a bit moist, but they did not comment on it. It was common to tear up in dusty environments.
"Uhh well, I'm gonna help your mother find food now bub, I'll be right back." His father proceeded to dry his eyes with his fingers and left the room.
Sekizan sat there in the bed, still covered in bandages, staring at the void. He never expected something like this.
' Don't worry Dad, I will become stronger so that you don't have to see me in this state again.' He vowed to himself, staring out of the window.
(An: heh, a more emotional ending this one, I teared up a bit as well thinking of my father, my father is a bit similar with the mc father and do not share his feelings often, and I saw my father in Ryuji saying those things for the MC. Hehe stay strong folks your family loves y'all.)
