"There are injured people?!"
"It's the teen who exploded that Quirk. He's been crushed for too long—his internal organs have taken a brutal beating!"
"Time's critical—get him in the ambulance…"
"No! He's got ruptured arteries too; we need to stop the bleeding first!"
"Damn, conditions here are awful. If only Recovery Girl were around."
"…"
A team of doctors crowded around Bakugo Katsuki, staring at his wounds as cold sweat beaded on their foreheads. This kid had been squeezed relentlessly. His body had been bound tight by the opponent's sludge for ages, and at the last second, he'd been hurled away—adding even more trauma. Severe bruising covered him everywhere, and chunks of his internal organs were badly damaged. The injuries were life-threatening!
Even seasoned physicians found it tricky. The organ damage wasn't the worst part; the real killer was his arterial bleeding! Bakugo Katsuki was already fading fast, and the bleeding wounds kept splitting wider. No telling how long he'd been hemorrhaging like this. Without sealing those bleeders soon, Bakugo would bleed out and die!
"Grab the hemostatic forceps!"
"Murano, use your visual Quirk to spot his bleeding points!"
"There's too much blood—I can barely make out two or three. He's hurt way too bad!"
"Damn it, prep for a transfusion. We can't let his blood keep pouring out like this!"
The medical staff buzzed around frantically, barking orders at each other. The watching Heroes felt powerless in the face of it all. Their Quirks were built for battle, not this kind of crisis.
From the doctors' chatter, it sounded like Bakugo might not pull through. That left the Heroes speechless for a moment—even All Might could only gape, words failing him.
If only there were a medical Quirk here…
"Well, is it serious?" Right then, Shina Etsuha pushed through the crowd to Bakugo's side. He blinked in surprise at the sight of the injuries.
As the sludge's grip had tightened, Bakugo Katsuki had taken even worse damage—his state was gruesome, his lower body soaked in blood.
"Clear out, civilian—you're in the way and slowing down the rescue!" The doctor spotted Shina Etsuha and snapped.
But before the words even settled, Shina Etsuha's hand had touched Bakugo Katsuki's body. Emerald-green light spilled out, instantly mending the kid's ruptured blood vessels. At the same time, most of his shredded internal organs knit back together in a flash, and Bakugo Katsuki's ashen face flushed with miraculous color.
"Okay. He should be fine after a bit of rest." Shina Etsuha stood up and said.
"Impossible…" The doctor's brain short-circuited for a second, but when he rechecked Bakugo Katsuki's wounds, he froze in shock—the damage really was mostly healed!
"It's really fixed—this… this is incredible! All the wounds sealed up at once, broken organs completely repaired. It's a Quirk on par with Recovery Girl's!" He blurted out in amazement.
The surrounding doctors were floored!
"What did I just see—a medical Quirk?"
"Didn't his Quirk make ice? How's a healing one popping up now?"
"Rivals Recovery Girl's? God… is he some kind of angel?"
All Might, witnessing it all, felt a tempest raging inside.
What's going on—two Quirks?
What the hell is this young man's Quirk?!
"Shina Etsuha? Come join our Hero agency after you graduate!" The eager Heroes rushed to extend offers.
"Join us—we'll give you top-tier treatment!"
"Is he one of those rare dual-Quirk users?!"
People with two Quirks were the so-called dual-Quirk holders. Most inherited them from their parents, though it was a slim chance. Like Shoto Todoroki's half-ice, half-fire setup, or Bakugo Katsuki's Explosion—both rare dual Quirks, making them powerhouse talents.
The former had been engineered by Endeavor through endless experiments to birth an "existence" surpassing All Might. The latter needed perfect synergy—for instance, nitroglycerin-like sweat that wouldn't detonate without a spark, or a spark without the sweat for a big boom.
But someone like Shina Etsuha, with two Quirks showing zero overlap? That was unheard of. No one could've guessed he had such top-tier medical capabilities on top of his ice Quirk!
Mt. Lady stomped over and growled fiercely, "Don't poach my little bro!"
The Heroes clammed up fast.
Still, All Might's thoughts churned wildly.
He'd sworn off believing in Shina Etsuha's medical powers before, but watching him casually heal a critically wounded Bakugo Katsuki like that? It stirred waves in his once-still heart again.
