Chapter 18 - Recovery Girl and Nezu

Michael woke up in a white room, probably in a hospital of some kind. He had survived the ambush and seemed to be healing pretty well, he started mulling about his loss to All For One and his reasons for it. The main reason seemed to be that he was ambushed, as well as the amount of quirk multipliers All for one seemed to have, the bone spears had managed to pierce his skin.

His strategy of using heat to camouflage had failed because he had grown overconfident, he was just so much smarter than most people he started underestimating them, he hadn't had time to think of a more viable strategy. Once he received those injuries the fight was pretty much over, he knew he wouldn't be able to escape, All for one had surrounded him with spears, leaving him caged and unable to simply fly away.

He wasn't at all mentally of physically prepared to fight someone who was essentially the final boss of the world, the most powerful villain. All for one had so many injuries that literally any other person would have died. Most if not every bone in his body was somehow broken, he bȧrėly had eyes left, his body was in terrible shape. He also didn't know if his quirk would be stolen or not by All for one and couldn't fight in close combat, his specialty, because of that. He had no idea how all for one really stole quirks, was it by touch? How long would it take? Could his quirk be stolen as he punched All For One?

Michael was strategizing and making plans in case he had to fight All For One again, when he was interrupted by Recovery girl, who he recognized from the anime.

"Well, you recovered a lot faster than expected young man"

"That's what happens when you have a quirk that improves your regeneration, as well as one of the best healing facilities in Japan."

"Aren't you a charmer, usually I would be angry with you for being reckless enough to be injured to this extent, but being ambushed by a villain isn't really your fault."

"I'll beat him next time, he just caught me off guard."

"Aw, did I bruise your little ego, let me heal that for you" Says recovery girl as she kisses Michael in the head, using her quirk to heal him.

"Damn, that quirk's useful" Say's Michael as he has most of his injuries healed

"Well, the amount of stamina you have is much higher than normal, my quirk uses the stamina of the patient instead of my own, so it's effects on people vary, while it's incredibly useful and effective on you, someone with a quirk that doesn't improve their stamina, or even has drawbacks on their stamina would find it negligible."

"Still useful towards me, and the majority of close combat fighters, who are the ones most likely to get injured fighting villains head on. Thank you for your healing, if you could lead me to Principal Nezu, i'd really appreciate it."

"Alright follow me, he's been waiting for you to regain consciousness to speak to you about the attack and your circumstances, as well as to answer your questions which was your original purpose for coming to U.A today."

After saying this, recovery girl led Michael to the principle's office before going back to her office.

"It's good to finally meet you in person, Michael Steele, you seem to be in good shape after the ambush."

"Recovery girl's quirk is incredibly effective on me, I originally came here to talk to you about my admission to U.A, but the ambush happened so we can talk about that first."

"I don't know why, but he wasn't able to steal my quirk, he certainly tried but from the looks of it, i'm immune to his quirk."

'Could his quirk be like One For All? With some kind of transfer ability or could it simply have an immunity to being stolen'

"That's certainly unexpected, but a welcomed surprise, i'm glad such power can't be taken by such a villain."

"I originally came here to ask you about the reset pointer, it was beyond the level of anyone else in that exam, it seemed to be targeting me and from what I've heard, the reset pointers in the other exam areas didn't move away from their original positions. Was it added specifically for me, and if so why would you test me that way, with innocent lives on the line."

"The reset pointer was added to test you, any egotistical examinee overestimating their abilities in the other exam areas and attacking the reset pointer would've lost their chances at entering U.A, I would've tested you in a different way, but involving other people was a test in and of itself, I wasn't sure about your alignment, you seemed too perfect and with your quirk, I had suspicions of you being a spy for All For One, it simply had too many different powers, with each almost seeming like a different quirk. Sacrificing a rook to position a queen to trap the enemies king, sacrificing muscular to stage a perfect example of heroism, building trust with heroes, the public and the police force. It all seemed too coincidental, and for your information, momo's life was never truly in danger. Thirteen was ready to use his black hole quirk to pull the reset pointer away, the reset pointer was ready to be switched off at any notice, recovery girl was also there in case anything happened, if I didn't believe you could make it, I would've had it switched off immediately."

Michael flew toward Nezu and sent a punch right next to his head.

"Never play with people's lives like that, i'm fine with being tested, but if you ever involve someone else's life into it. I'll consider you a villain and take you down immediately."

Nezu, sweating from the pressure released by Michael's anger, immediately nodded.

"I know i'm at fault in hindsight, but I couldn't risk the future generation of heroes and the well being of society as a whole, leaders always have to make the toughest of choices and I regret it, but I couldn't be seen to be doubting myself, the heroes of U.A look to me for guidance with my intelligence quirk. It's almost been ingrained as a habit, I apologize for my actions."

"The original scholarship detective Tsukauchi offered you for U.A, it still stands, you'll be given a room in U.A's dorm and the school will pay for both your education and daily necessities."

"I'll accept the scholarship, I appreciate the offer. We may have our differences Nezu, but we're both on the side of good. We can't have infighting at this period of time, with the reappearance of All For One."

"I agree Michael, I look forward to seeing your future accomplishments."

Michael, hearing this turns and leaves the office.
