Yang Xiaokun felt extremely tired, his eyelids growing heavier and heavier. Gradually, he lost awareness of his surroundings and fell into a deep sleep.
"Hey, wake up, wake up!"
He didn't know how much time had passed, but Yang Xiaokun vaguely heard someone calling him. After a while, he managed to open his eyes and saw people in police uniforms.
"He's awake, quickly check if there's anything wrong with him," the police officer who woke Yang Xiaokun said to a doctor behind him. The doctor hurried over and began examining Yang Xiaokun's body.
"This is..." When the doctor opened Yang Xiaokun's clothes, he saw a purple spot the size of a thumb. Around this spot, dense purple lines crisscrossed, spreading outward across his body.
"What's wrong with him? What's going on?" the police officer watching from the side asked with a frown. He had never seen anything like this before.
Yang Xiaokun then realized that the Police Department and Pro Heroes had arrived for support. It seemed the League of Villains had also retreated, but he didn't know how long he had been asleep.
"This situation... what exactly did this student go through?" The doctor's face showed a troubled expression. If it were a common illness, he could treat it, but he had no way to deal with this kind of problem.
"Ah, Yang Xiaokun, you're here!" Eijiro Kirishima rushed over. Yang Xiaokun could see that Kirishima was also injured, clearly indicating the intensity of the previous battle.
"Don't touch him, he's seriously injured," the doctor immediately stopped Eijiro Kirishima. Only then did Kirishima see the injury under Yang Xiaokun's left rib, and his expression changed: "What exactly happened?"
"Let me see..." Just then, Recovery Girl walked over. She had received the message and came immediately to provide support. As Recovery Girl, she had to be on the front lines to treat people.
As Recovery Girl approached, everyone else made way. When she came close and saw Yang Xiaokun's injuries, her expression also turned extremely grave.
Recovery Girl crouched down and placed one hand on the purple spot under Yang Xiaokun's left rib. A green energy flowed into it. At that moment, Yang Xiaokun felt some relief, but he was still very uncomfortable.
A full ten minutes passed. All the other classmates had also gathered around Yang Xiaokun. At first, everyone was talking loudly, discussing Yang Xiaokun's condition, but gradually, no one spoke. Clearly, everyone had realized the seriousness of Yang Xiaokun's physical state.
Recovery Girl then stood up, showing a look of regret. Denki Kaminari saw her expression and immediately stepped forward to ask, "Teacher, Yang Xiaokun, he..."
"He's crippled. He won't be able to become a hero in this lifetime, and his body will progressively decline. Eventually, he might be plagued by various diseases and then die."
"Ah!"
All the students, including the Police Department personnel, were shocked. Such a thing existed? They had lived for so many years and this was the first time they had heard of something like this.
Tenya Iida stepped forward and supported Yang Xiaokun's body, looking at him and asking, "Did you encounter a very powerful enemy?"
Yang Xiaokun closed his eyes and didn't speak. He was very weak now and didn't want to talk, because what Recovery Girl said was completely true. It was basically the same as what Zheng Yingshan had said, or even more detailed than what Zheng Yingshan had described.
He was in no mood at all right now; he might be a cripple in the future.
"Students, please don't bother this classmate anymore. He has already suffered a very great blow. Please go back first and let him be sent for treatment alone," Recovery Girl told all the students to leave, then had people carry Yang Xiaokun onto a stretcher and into a vehicle.
Shoto Todoroki watched as Yang Xiaokun was put into the car, a strange emotion stirring in his heart. He understood Yang Xiaokun's strength better than anyone else present because they had fought.
It was precisely because they had fought that Shoto Todoroki knew Yang Xiaokun's strength was not weaker than his own. Because of this, he was puzzled: what kind of enemy had Yang Xiaokun encountered that could injure him to this extent?
He had seen the strength of the Black Nomu, the strength of Tomura Shigaraki, and the strength of Kurogiri. Could it be that there were even stronger individuals hidden among these enemies?
Shoto Todoroki clearly heard what Recovery Girl said. Yang Xiaokun's hero career seemed to be over, and not only that, he might face a life-or-death crisis later.
Katsuki Bakugo had always regarded Yang Xiaokun as a rival and had always wanted to have a proper match with him. But now, and perhaps never again, would he have that chance.
He wanted Yang Xiaokun to be okay, to compete fairly and squarely. Now that Yang Xiaokun was crippled, he felt as if he had lost a kind of fighting spirit, or rather, he would never know how strong Yang Xiaokun truly was.
The rest of the classmates all showed extremely sad expressions. They genuinely felt regret for Yang Xiaokun. In this world, if one couldn't become a hero, it might be even more painful than dying.
Surely, Yang Xiaokun's mood must be shattered right now, utterly heartbroken.
An hour later, Yang Xiaokun was sent to a hospital in Hosu City. This hospital was a special sanatorium specifically for students and heroes. After learning that Yang Xiaokun had suffered irreversible trauma during the USJ incident,
the hospital very fairly responded: We will waive his medical fees for one week.
Yes, only one week of medical fees. Yang Xiaokun was currently lying in a hospital bed receiving an IV drip. His body was already deteriorating, so he had to be given antibiotics and nutrients.
Otherwise, Yang Xiaokun's internal organs couldn't be guaranteed to function normally. If his bodily functions failed, various diseases would appear, and they would be very difficult to cure.
It was precisely this that would cause a person to die quickly and be beyond treatment.
Yang Xiaokun lay in the hospital bed, thinking of nothing. He didn't even contact Wu Shiyin or the others, as if he was living in his own world.
In his mind, he kept replaying the battle with Zheng Yingshan, finding his own shortcomings in the previous scenes and analyzing them.
Zheng Yingshan was indeed a very powerful person, someone with great potential. If he were allowed to develop, there might truly not be many people who could deal with him in the future.
Yang Xiaokun sighed at this thought. He was basically a cripple now, and his body would only get worse day by day. If this continued, what hope did he have for living?
Could it be that among the four transmigrators, he would be the first to fall?
Creak~
The ward door opened, and a nurse walked in to help Yang Xiaokun change his nutrient solution and antibiotics. After changing them, the nurse looked at Yang Xiaokun and said, "It seems your teacher is at the door, and a few others who should be your classmates. Do you want to see them?"
The nurse spoke in a very soft voice because she knew Yang Xiaokun was in a very bad mood right now.
If it were her, she might not even want to live anymore.
