All Might watched with a smile as the 4 new heroes nearly collapsed in exhaustion, Koichi and Dabi passing out instantly after they passed.

They're going to be incredible heroes...

He hadn't been pushed that hard since his fight with All for One, although the context was a little different as he wasn't fighting to the death, and at the time he didn't have his stomach injury.

'Drip'

All Might wiped the blood that dripped from his mouth, eyeing his shaking hands that were covered in burns from Dabi's last attack.

I might have overdone it...

He was already dealing with a grievous injury, but now he had just been put through the wringer. The fact that he also had to help with the Press Conference later in his condition was not ideal.

I'll have to stop by UA before it starts...

All Might shivered at the thought, already knowing that Chiyo was going to chew him out for being reckless again.

Hopefully, she won't be too mad. I wasn't exactly going against easy opponents...

All Might looked over to the 4 passing applicants. His eyes lingered on the prone forms of Koichi and Dabi a little longer than the others. Keeping his gaze on them as Hawks and Mirko picked them up and carried them to the infirmary.

Well, I better get going...

All Might looked toward the open sky, jumping through the air as he headed to UA to get his injuries treated. Already planning where he could transform to recuperate before the press conference started.

I wonder...

All Might ponder as he flew through the air, his muscles straining as he recalled the series of punches that felt like an earthquake. The young man threw them with an earnest smile on his face.

Would he make a good successor?

...............

Koichi groaned as he squinted his eyes open, the light flooding in as he looked around the room he was in. Seeing his body wrapped in bandages from the fight he'd been put through.

Where am I? Did we-

"Hey, it's about time you woke up! Come on Staples we should get some grub now!"

Koichi paused as he heard Mirko's voice, looking over to see her in a hospital bed next to him. Her words pointed toward Dabi who was sitting next to Hawks across from them. Dabi had similar injuries to him while Mirko and Hawks seemed to have more or less recovered.

How long have I been out...

Koichi was pulled out of his thoughts as Dabi scowled at Mirko's request, "We're not going to a shitty curry place in Tokyo."

"Why not Staples? It's good food."

"It's shit."

"You're shit."

Hawks groaned as he watched the two bicker, cutting them off with a voice that showed he was done with everything, "You're both shit. Shut up, my head hurts."

This has been such a fucked up day...

Dabi scoffed as Hawks rubbed his temples, "What, you got a  concussion? I got three concussions so suck it up."

If I have to deal with the battle junkie you do too.

Hawks and Dabi glared at each other, brought out of their silent argument as Mirko spoke up, "I got seven concussions, you're both pulling rookie numbers."
