Shoto Todoroki's Gift / Goodbye, Abby

Yuxian had no choice but to accept this cruel reality.

Scathach ignored Yuxian's life-or-death state and asked, "When does Master plan to leave?"

"Leave?" Yuxian blinked and looked at Scathach. "When does Master plan to leave?"

Yuxian hadn't thought about this yet. In his opinion, Scathach would probably keep them there until Izuku Midoriya and the others graduated before leaving.

He was prepared to stay for a long time, and he seemed to be enjoying the feeling of being a teacher.

Unexpectedly, Scathach brought up the topic of leaving today.

Schaka said seriously, "You are the Master, and these decisions should be made by you, not me."

Scathach respects Yuxian, who is the true Master of Chaldea, even if he is not yet mature and has many minor flaws.

How to proceed from here, and what the future holds for Chaldea, will be decided by Yuxian, not by her or anyone else.

Yuxian immediately asked, "Is there no one else in this world?"

This was also his biggest concern; if there were no other members of Chaldea, they could leave at any time.

"These are all for you to decide, Master." Scathach did not tell Yuxian the answer.

Yuxian muttered to himself, "It's up to me to judge..."

He fell into deep thought, having been searching for the Chaldea all along.

But with so many worlds, each so vast, is it really possible to miss anything?

Yuxian was unaware that this was also a problem that had been troubling him.

He has always believed in finding people by chance; if you are destined to meet someone, you will meet them naturally, and if you are not, you will not force it.

This Buddhist approach seems to have worked quite well so far, allowing me to smoothly encounter a few people in each world.

After Yuxian moment of contemplation, Yu Xian raised his head and said firmly, "Then let's leave!"

He realized that it was unrealistic for him to search every world thoroughly with his current abilities.

Since it's all about letting things take their course, let's just go with the flow.

There is no optimal solution; how to proceed is simply a matter of personal choice.

This is probably the true meaning of Scathach's saying, "It is up to you to judge."

Of course, it would be best if Scathach were willing to use her profound wisdom to help.

Clearly, Scathach didn't mean that; she preferred to be an observer and guide rather than a participant.

Scathach has her own thoughts and decisions, Yuxian cannot force her to do so. Just as Scathach respects Yuxian also respects her very much.

I have to leave again...

Yuxian somewhat melancholy, increasingly feeling like a passerby wandering between different worlds.

He longed for Chaldea to return to its lively state as soon as possible; that was his home!

Chapter 28, Section 144 Shoto Todoroki's Gift

Having decided to return to Chaldea, Yuxian immediately and decisively informed everyone of his decision without further delay.

No one had any objections to Yuxian's decision.

Ishtar had resigned herself to her unprofitable firm.

They hastily closed the doors, waited patiently to return home, and ceased operations.

Only Abigail was a little sad; she was reluctant to part with her classmates in Class A.

Over the years, her classmates have been very kind to her, and she has developed a deep affection for them. Now that they are about to part ways, she feels very sad.

But to leave her Master was absolutely out of the question, so she could only grieve in secret.

Yuxian found her and said to her gently, "Abby, go and say goodbye to your classmates."

"Hmm..." Abby nodded gently. This was something that should be done; leaving without saying goodbye was very impolite.

Yuxian led everyone to find the students in Class A, as they were there to provide tutoring and also to say goodbye to everyone.

However, they were much more relaxed than Abby, since they didn't have such a deep relationship, although they were still a little sad.

Yuxian told the students about their departure, and he also went to say goodbye to each of the teachers, including Shota Aizawa.

The students were all very surprised to hear the news, but Yuxian and his team were only temporarily teaching and tutoring, so it wasn't surprising when they left.

They were saddened to learn that Abigail was also leaving, as they were reluctant to part with this little girl who was much younger than them.

Abigail, the temporary transfer student, was more like a child experiencing school life most of the time. Everyone treated her like a younger sister and took great care of her.

"Let's throw a farewell party for Abby!" Tenya Iida, the class representative, suggested.

His words won unanimous agreement, and everyone expressed their support.

"Then everyone go and prepare separately. We're going to make this farewell party a real success!" The girls, led by Momo Yaoyorozu, were full of energy, and the girls became even closer to Abigail.

"The time is set for tonight, everyone hurry up!" Squad leader Tenya Iida shouted.

"Yes!" "Okay!"

Seeing Gretel Yao asked, "Can we join in too?"

The girls are very close to Abigail now and always hang out together. They also hope to attend this farewell party.

"Sure!"

Hearing an affirmative answer, the little ones were very happy. Having a lively party was a very joyful thing for them.

Seeing everyone's high spirits, Yu Yuxian smiled knowingly.

"Let's go back and pack our things first, and come back tonight."

"Hmm." Abigail nodded.

Back home, there wasn't much to tidy up. They had always lived like this, and each of them didn't have much stuff. Mash would take care of most of their belongings, so Yuxian didn't need to worry about it.

As the sun began to set and evening approached, the students' farewell party was almost ready.

Abby and the other six girls went together to attend the farewell party.

Yuxian didn't go. This farewell party was for Abby, and he wanted to give her more private time, so he and Mash stayed at home to wait for them.

When Abby and the other children arrived at the classroom, it had already been decorated beautifully.

The students worked together and were incredibly efficient, preparing the farewell party perfectly in just half a day.

On the blackboard at the front of the classroom, 'Abigail William' was written in the center in colored chalk, surrounded by words of blessing from each of her classmates, like decorative patterns.

Besides the decorations, the students also prepared a lot of food and toys, all hoping to give Abby an unforgettable and enjoyable evening.

The classroom was crowded and noisy. Several girls surrounded Abby and started talking to her.

Now Abby is no longer as afraid of everyone's enthusiastic treatment as she was at the beginning.

She listened to everyone with a smile, and occasionally joined in the conversation.

During Abigail's most difficult time, it was these classmates who gave her warmth.

Abby was always very grateful to them. Without them, Abby didn't know how lonely and isolated she would have been before meeting her Master.

"Abby-chan, I really don't want you to leave!" Toru Hagakure hugged Abby tightly and said sadly.

"I'll miss everyone too..." Abby said softly.

Her face showed some sadness, but she had to leave with her Master.

"Alright, Ye Yin, let's not talk about these unhappy things. We must make Abby-chan happy today." Momo Yaoyorozu stopped the topic from continuing, afraid that if they continued, Abigail would cry.

"Okay, let's eat and chat together!"

Once the topic was changed, everyone started playing around enthusiastically again.

Gretel and the others were not at all reserved; they would either sit there eating or run around playing.

"Everyone, please make way! Make way!"

At that moment, Eijiro Kirishima and Rikido Sato carried a very large box in from outside, along with Shoto Todoroki.

"What is that thing? It's so big!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to the large box they had brought, and they all began to speculate with curiosity.

After carefully placing the box on the table, Eijiro Kirishima exclaimed loudly, "Let's see what Todoroki-kun's gift for Abby-chan is!"

He quickly opened the box.

A giant ice cream cone, almost as tall as Abigail, was presented to everyone.

"Wow!"

"This is huge!"

Everyone was stunned by this giant ice cream. Compared to it, the ice creams you usually buy in stores looked pitifully small.

Come on, everyone, let's eat together!

As he spoke, Kirishima distributed the spoons and bowls he had prepared beforehand to everyone.

Such a large ice cream is obviously impossible for one person to finish, but there are more than twenty people in the classroom now, and if everyone shares a little, it doesn't seem like a lot.

Everyone scooped out a bowlful from the top and sat down to enjoy it.

"Hong's cooking skills are amazing!"

"Yeah, even if I don't become a professional hero, opening an ice cream shop would definitely be a huge success!"

Everyone praised Shoto Todoroki's cooking skills, saying that sometimes the same thing tastes especially delicious when shared among many people.

"Do you like it?" Shoto Todoroki looked at Abigail and asked softly.

"Mmm!" Abby took a delicious bite of ice cream and nodded emphatically.

Chapter 29, Section 145: Goodbye, Abby

"Ice cream! Ice cream! Ice cream!"

Gretel sat on the chair, swinging her little legs, happily eating ice cream, humming happily as she ate.

Shoto Todoroki walked over and sat down next to her.

He asked, "Did you cheat for me during the Forest Training Camp?"

He inexplicably felt that he had defeated Dabi very easily that time, and after thinking about it carefully for a long time, he could only come up with this one reasonable explanation.

He is fully aware of his own abilities and is not so arrogant as to believe that it is his true strength.

Gretel turned to look at him, her face full of dissatisfaction, and said, "Alice would never cheat!"

It was absolutely impossible for Gretel to admit to cheating. After saying that, she went back to eating her ice cream and ignored Shoto Todoroki.

Shoto Todoroki didn't say much; he roughly understood the personality of Gretel, this willful little girl.

He already had the answer in his heart; he only came to ask Gretel to confirm it.

Jack, who had overheard the Gretel rhyme, blinked and asked after Shoto Todoroki walked away, "Alice really didn't cheat?"

"Jack, don't you believe me either?" Gretel looked very sad.

"Didn't we agree to help him? Has Alice forgotten?" Jack asked innocently.

Gretel looked at Jack, not wanting to speak; how could she possibly talk about something like this?

She stubbornly argued, "Anyway, I've already helped him, and I didn't cheat."

When the Gretel said that, Jack didn't delve into it further. She wasn't the type to dwell on these things; she was probably just asking casually because she thought of it.

Eating ice cream together was a very enjoyable experience, and afterwards we did a lot of other activities together.
