The Return Journey

After a night of emergency rescue efforts, the forest fire was finally extinguished, but a quarter of the trees in the forest were destroyed. Pussycats, which is responsible for managing the forest, must take primary responsibility and return the management of the area to the local government.

The summer training camp for the first-year Hero Course at U.A. High School could not continue. After only three days, the summer training camp for these students came to an end. After this incident, U.A. High School dared not let them stay in the deep mountains and forests any longer.

The next morning, after another night's rest, they will return to school.

Early morning, in a makeshift ward.

"Hahahaha, Bakugo, you're killing me! You look just like a mummy right now!" Kaminari clutched his stomach, pointing at Bakugo on the hospital bed and laughing Bakugo.

Bakugo, now completely wrapped in bandages with only his face showing, gave Kaminari a terrifying look. "Idiot, wanna fight!?"

Kirishima sat down beside Bakugo's bed, looked up at Kaminari with some displeasure, and said, "Kaminari, Bakugo was seriously injured in battle with the enemy. Isn't it inappropriate to mock him at this time?"

Kaminari quickly waved his hand. "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean anything by it, it just makes me want to laugh when I see Bakugo, who's usually so Bakugo, acting like this."

Bakugo sustained this injury while protecting Kota and fighting the enemy. Yesterday, when Kota and Bakugo returned to the base under Mr. Aizawa's escort, Kota tearfully recounted to everyone how Bakugo bravely fought the muscular man.

In the end, he said that the muscular man, Muscular, was knocked into a deep coma by a self-destructing toy car, which allowed them to escape. This made everyone look at each other in confusion, and they all agreed that Kota was probably severely frightened and his mind was confused, so they forced him to undergo a full-body examination.

Bakugo fainted as soon as he returned to the base. He didn't have a chance to verify the truth of what Kota said. He woke up this morning. His injuries looked shocking, but they were all superficial and not very serious. With the help of the Recovery Girl, his new skin grew overnight.

Now, to ease the awkwardness, Kaminari asks Bakugo, "Bakugo, was your battle last night really just a toy car falling from the sky as justice?"

"Would I lie to you?" Bakugo replied irritably. "Who knows if it was a toy car or a toy car disguised as a bomb? Anyway, that thing blew up Muscle Man."

Bakugo still has some doubts when he thinks back to that time. He seems to feel a sense of familiarity from the toy car; that steampunk toy car and Jilan's watch seem to be the same model.

This must be an illusion. Bakugo immediately dismissed the thought. He had also heard about what Jilan had done last night: fighting four enemies by himself and protecting Ragdoll and Hagakure from their siege. How could he have time to help him? He was too busy taking care of himself.

"Speaking of which, Midoriya was also seriously injured," Kaminari whispered to Kirishima. "He's probably feeling resentful because he saw Tokoyami being taken away by the enemy."

Midoriya lay on the hospital bed in the corner, his right arm severely injured, fractured and cracked. Fortunately, the Recovery Girl provided timely treatment; otherwise, Midoriya's right hand would have taken an average person at least a hundred days to heal. Even so, he couldn't move his right hand easily for two days.

Bakugo also tilted his head and glanced in that direction. Midoriya was facing the ceiling, motionless and looking blank, as if questioning the meaning of life.

Bakugo curled his lip in disdain and closed his eyes again.

It was obvious that Deku had once again taken everything upon himself. Even he knew that the League of Villains had planned this operation in advance, taking advantage of All Might's absence and distance from the city to ambush the students, hoping to create chaos in society.

From his perspective, Midoriya did nothing wrong. He separated from Shoto Todoroki immediately, and together with Shoji, they killed an enemy called Moonfish. He lured the berserk Fumikage Tokoyami, wanting to find him a place with light to calm him down.

To be honest, Bakugo also bears some responsibility. He failed to promptly convey to Mandalay that the enemy's target was Crow Head, which led Midoriya to make the wrong judgment.

But these hindsight analyses are meaningless. No one knew about the enemy's attack, their numbers, their targets, or their Quirk. Everything happened so unexpectedly. It should be said that only Tokoyami was captured; the rest were either unconscious or injured, which was already a very good outcome. There was nothing to blame ourselves for.

Midoriya couldn't possibly be unaware of this principle, but he still couldn't let it go.

Why can't I do better? Why can't I be like Jilan and turn the tide at crucial moments? I'm the one who inherited All Might's will!

Apart from Yaoyorozu, Midoriya, Bakugo, Jiro, and others who were seriously injured and lying in ambulances, everyone else was on the same bus they had come on. Although it was the same journey, unlike their cheerful arrival, the bus was deathly silent, even Ashido, an optimist, remained quiet.

Of course, there was also the reason for the students' safety, as Midnight, Snipe, and others were all riding in the same car with them.

At Jilan Jiyu's request, he sat in the back of an ambulance. Besides him and Momo Yaoyorozu, who was fast asleep on a mobile hospital bed, there was only a nurse in the back of the ambulance who was responsible for changing the IV drip.

Her eyes kept darting around at Jilan, but Jilan didn't look at her once, only staring at Yaoyorozu in silence.

Yaoyorozu's injuries were the most severe among those injured in the League of Villains' raid. She suffered severe abdominal bleeding and an infection in her abdominal cavity. Even though her injuries did not worsen under the treatment of Jiran Ripple, she still underwent a wound suturing operation last night.

Because Recovery Girl's Quirk consumes the injured person's own physical strength, the weakened Momo Yaoyorozu cannot recover quickly under Recovery Girl's treatment like Midoriya, Bakugo, and others. She can only recover slowly through scientific methods.

Jilan Jiyu clearly realized that it was their responsibility that Yaoyorozu suffered such serious injuries.

If he had been able to see that Jiro was Himiko Toga in disguise, he only needed to rescue Hagakure, strip her clothes off, and throw her into the bushes. Hagakure would have been safe. He wouldn't have even needed the Yaoyorozu in aid, and she wouldn't have been Toga.

It's ironic. I told her to leave the battlefield immediately, but she still got seriously injured on another battlefield.

Suddenly, Jilan realized something. Was she feeling remorse and regret because of Momo Yaoyorozu's injury?

Even though Fumikage Tokoyami had been taken away by the Villain Alliance, he felt little sadness; the injured Momo Yaoyorozu seemed far more important.

Jilan didn't understand why he was feeling this way, but he knew one thing—he would definitely make Himiko Toga Momo Yaoyorozu, pay the price.
