Rage is a hell of a !

"...ow, ow..." Izuku grimaced as he was being bandaged up in Recovery Girl's office by the irate old woman almost an hour later.

"I swear, you idiot students get more reckless by the year!" she was huffing. "You're all more responsible for my wrinkles than my age!"

"...I picked the wrong moment to hesitate there," Izuku admitted as his girls walked in.

"Yes, yes you did," Setsuna noted. "Bakugo's up too now, and the awards ceremony is going to start soon, so you better get going in a few minutes."

"...how mad is Kaa-chan?" Izuku asked nervously.

"...let me put it this way," Tooru chuckled nervously. "Do you know who Hannibal Lecter is?"

"...yeah?" Izuku replied, wondering where she was going with it.

"...and are you familiar with the concept of cosplay?" she continued, and Setsuna snorted.

"Of course he is, he's the ultimate All Might nerd! If he's never cosplayed as him, I'll eat my bra," Setsuna teased.

Izuku flushed. "H-hey, it was one time!" Setsuna simply stared at Izuku flatly. "...five," he finally admitted. The girls laughed, even Recovery Girl letting out a snort.

"...well, Bakugo is currently very unwillingly cosplaying as Hannibal Lecter up there," Tooru informed Izuku.

"...yeesh, just how does he even still have the energy to make THAT necessary?" Izuku shivered.

"...pure rage?" Momo offered with a weak chuckle. "At any rate, if Recovery Girl is done treating you, you better go join him and Yanagi up there..."

Izuku paused. "Wait, isn't Iida supposed to be up there too?" Third place was for both of the semifinalists who lost after all.

Ochaco's face fell into one of concern. "Just before your fight with Bakugo started, he got a phone call, and... He then said something about a family emergency and left," she informed him. "He looked... Distressed too..."

Izuku stood, concerned for Iida as well. But that had to wait. "...I see. I better get going then," he noted, resolving to call Iida and check on him after the ceremony.
