The next day, Izuku awoke with the feeling of something warm and alive on top of him. His sleepy eyes fluttered open to find Kiri lying on his chest. Before, he saw her body as a small otter, contrasting with him being the otter parent.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPN6xwJY6F
Now, after last night, he beheld a different sight. The Kiri on him looked like a woman, one who is holding onto the love of her life. Her arms wrapped around his chest while her head lay next to his heart.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaUqoZQjNa
He wasn’t lying there passively either; he also held her close. The sight was unmistakable.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaTe4YuSOQ
Izuku: ‘What have I gotten myself into?’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gfGvA7pyX
Despite that, though, he can’t lie; it is quite comfortable. But they have school. So the boy strokes her hair and tries to wake her up.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEYxY6xve8
Izuku: “Kiri, it’s time to get up.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLrvFElYbs
Kiri: “Nh… five more minutes.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMhyE9vmAo
Izuku: “I know it’s comfortable, but we have school. We can’t be late.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiineLTpP7u
The girl rubbed her head on his chest before turning up toward Izuku with a soft smile.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vF3RHzw7Q
Kiri: “Good morning.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwL3Uo9Ep7
Izuku: “Good-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PLoQOPDLk
Before he can finish, Kiri claimed her first kiss of the day.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxfUHe7Fec
Izuku: ‘I really should stop the kissing.’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2l28Ajj2w
His body isn’t complaining, though; in fact…
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLkdfIi7Rr
Kiri: “What’s poking me?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM1o3jrT7K
Izuku: “O-O-O-Okay, t-time to g-get u-up!!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHLo9WR0YX
The boy quickly pushed Kiri aside and got up. He looked back to make sure he didn’t push her too hard, and the sight stunned him.
Kiri was rubbing her head while her clothes clung loosely to her figure. He always thought that she was attractive, but after last night, it just got so much worse.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl1qe76CVj
Izuku: ‘It’s like her body is subtly adjusting to her mindset. I swear she didn’t have curves before!’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEuWHmVO52
She’s still not on the bombshell level that Momo is at, but that girl isn’t currently in his bed.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WV9YOngDA
Kiri: “Onii, what’s wrong?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1z8o6LIOD
Izuku: “… Kiri, please… just call me Izuku from now on. My mind can’t take much more.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vvjEDTLGe
Kiri: “Nh. You do feel… confused. I’ll stop.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4bsUxSVWY
Izuku: “Thank you.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAAslRJlpQ
Izuku: ‘Our mental link really has cleared up.’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhq9WPNcIk
Before the villain attack, the two could read each other’s emotions fairly easily while close to one another. But after Izuku learned about his darker side and Kiri became confused about her feelings, it became muddy.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt41h6PWAht
Now, though, it was much clearer.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2K8TAISDU
Izuku can feel nothing but love and contentment coming from Kiri. It’s so much that it’s kind of overwhelming.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KjH2sS2pY
Inko: “Izuku, Kiri, breakfast!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYg1Ta0m84
Kiri: “Coming.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMAo3gJ2U5
Kiri quickly changes, something she now seems okay with doing in his room, and leaves. Izuku, though… starts to panic.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUYJk5uAFS
Izuku: ‘How am I going to explain this to mom!? To Fubuki and Tatsumaki!? To Yaoyorozu!?’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwh4F2kx7g
But it gets so much worse. Other problems start to appear in his head.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocVhyrbNpl
Izuku: ‘Based on how Kiri reacted, does she know or even understand… that? What about kids? She can’t have them. Should that factor in my choice? No, that’s not fair to Kiri. Ugh, this is so complicated. Why did I have to fall for her?!’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoWsgfOnqh
Despite all of this and the blushing puddle of nerves he has become, the boy knows he doesn’t regret falling for her.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp29m8GWlA2
Izuku: ‘But that doesn’t help solve the many problems I have.’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEKQhzzMF0
Sighing, he accepts that this can only be done one way. One step at a time. It’s the only answer he has for now.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHapBiksayd
First step, get ready for school.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo653yrB8Fj
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA7qNq3S15
Inko is a mother of three children, four if you count Kiri. She knows when there’s a shift in the home. What that shift is, she doesn’t know yet, but she has a feeling.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3E1EESRKi
It was cute that Kiri could only sleep when next to her brother. Inko had no problem with them sharing a room. She didn’t think anything would come of it.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeLlrPRDC4
But that changed when she saw Kiri come out of Izuku’s room this morning. She looked different, more like a woman. Not like her Valkyrie form, but more subtle things.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ZUXWyXpz
The smile, the fuller body, and the aura only another woman can sense.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDx3npT4Pn
Inko: ‘They didn’t… ’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhrLVpHKPp
She shakes her head. The mother highly doubts she could have slept through that. But something clearly happened. So when breakfast was set and the family was gathered, Inko asked the question.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7ZtLx5eSe
Inko: “What’s going on between you two?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0pVqzA07B
Izuku nearly choked on his food while Kiri continued as normal, unbothered.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQAlE0um8i
Izuku: “W-W-W-What are you talking about?! N-N-Nothing is going on!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4tM4TcR0Q
Inko: “I can tell; a mother knows. It’s okay, sweetie, I won’t judge.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5koadoc9QM
Seeing that as the okay, Kiri blurts out the truth.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjF4vUYEmc
Kiri: “We are-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEZoA84EAx
But not before Izuku cups her mouth and decides to make a quick getaway.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBN4I6dy2X
Izuku: “Sorrymomdon’twanttobelategottagobye!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHBoZjVGA0
In a flash of green light, the two of them were gone.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFXWc5EuAQ
Inko: “… Now I’m worried.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tAcFF6ixx
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwie9SKjaK
Kiri won’t stop pouting. It’s cute, but Izuku made his choice. He is not ready to face possible rejection over his feelings. Kiri may have confidence that this will work out, but he doesn’t.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohtb8QlM42
Izuku: ‘Even the weather agrees with me; it’s pouring!’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vFbiyuEGd
There’s no way he’s telling his mom that he fell in love with his mental projection turned little sister. Not right now. He needs more time to think and sort this all out in his mind.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMctVuuaGL
That’s why he’s taking the train instead of going straight to school. More time, please.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hm8HMXVDB
“Hey! Aren’t you Tae and Midoriya? From the hero department.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV13hoZdtX
The two of them turn around to see a forming crowd of ‘fans’.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW57PfCVoIx
Izuku: “Y-Yes.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmilfQJZXvk
Kiri: “Nh.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7kmGFjEZZ
“You two were amazing! I can’t believe we’re on the same train as you. The first and third place winners.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQPcEhC2Ac
Izuku: “Tha-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MmmQbsntH
“You’re shorter than I expected.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7GRLEbFpp
“You two remind me of the good old days.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PISWa58Da
“Yeah, Tae fought almost just like All Might.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdoIG8sV7U
“And Midoriya is just like his sister.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGPYerC4rk
The comments kept coming, and the two couldn’t get a word in. Worse, they were getting squeezed by the wave of bodies. Accepting his fate, Izuku took Kiri’s hand and teleported away.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6QdJ35EJ9
So much for more time. Izuku covers himself and Kiri with a green field that blocks the rain as they walk to the gate. But Izuku is walking like a snail.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsVj9xE0eP
Kiri: “Izu… don’t worry.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lhvYo9dJh
Izuku: “Kiri, I’m nothing but worries right now. How are you so calm?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmOnhXWiz0
Kiri: “Because I’m sure our family will understand. I don’t really care if Udders doesn’t.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MJhw0mjKb
Izuku: “Of course you wouldn’t. Can you call her something else?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcH7w6LYti
Kiri: “… No.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC6YuCNEMz
The boy sighs and holds his head.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKhRhJVkMJ
Izuku: ‘I also have to talk to her about One For All too, don’t I? Man, I’m already tired, and it’s only morning.’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV82XmylIUA
Ida: “What are you doing walking so leisurely!? We’re late!! Morning, Midoriya, Tae!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR71T4gmDVO
Ida comes zooming by with a raincoat and boots. He’s fully equipped for this weather.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26ioo3xOlX
Kiri: “Morning.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoOl2Sbf3A
Izuku: “Morning. But late? Aren’t we early?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljJMZwzt5o
Ida: “The baseline for students worthy of UA is starting the day’s activities at least ten minutes early! Twenty for the class president and vice-president.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O84WbfqBA
Izuku: “Twenty!?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnhOfJPTmy
Izuku: ‘I’ll always have to teleport if I want to make it!’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSk8z7kUPT
Kiri: “Brother?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnewDNd1Lv
Izuku blinks, and Ida stills.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL9EW15FlJ
Kiri: “You feel-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZD8FW2PTp
Ida: “If you’re worried about my brother, you needn’t be. I’m fine. I’m sorry for causing you all unnecessary concern.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmDcVeGsoX
Ida goes inside while Kiri narrows his eyes.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnEKuk3F6m
Kiri: “He’s not okay.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpBqOsmZs5
Izuku: “I figured. But it’s not like we can do anything right now. Just keep an eye on him.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTw3zdN7Zi
Kiri: “Nh.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKCODhUNnp
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cBmqTo943
Mina: “So many people talked to me on my way here!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusNznYPxag
Kirishima: “Yeah, me too!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQsd6s4vRP
Sero: “I got consoled with the ‘Don’t worry about it!’ call by frickin’ elementary school kids!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckqM087ipV
Tsuyu: “Don’t worry about it!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpun2v1vKL
Sero: “Gah!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1miYJ6dWNR
Denki: “Even if we didn’t win, we became the center of attention in just one day. Dude, UA really is amazi-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiC2CLcBOC
The jovial atmosphere of the class dropped when Aizawa came in. Everyone got back to their seats with the quickness.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3x4vUmNwA
Aizawa: “Morning. Today’s hero informatics period is a little special.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b4BhibEMg
Kirishima: ‘Don’t let it be heroic-related law or something like that.’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCbZKP2FsB
Denki: ‘Special!? Is it a quiz!? Please, god no…’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM03waKuCJ
Aizawa: “It’s time to create your hero names.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqwFef12Eq
Together, the class raises up their hands in excitement and joy. Finally, something fun and relaxing. But the celebration was put on hold by Aizawa’s glare.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb4IlGfOG7
Aizawa: “This is related to the pro hero draft picks, the opportunity I mentioned before. The drafts begin in earnest in the second and third years, after students have gained experience and can become immediate assets to the pros.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDepVqJsp1
Aizawa: “In other words, for them to extend offers to first years like you shows that they are interested in your potential. Those offers are often canceled if that interest dies down by graduation.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SjpgRKQP4
Momo: “So, we’ll have to work hard to prove ourselves once picked.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeeMcUBfNe
Aizawa: “That’s right. And here are the totals for those with offers.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm3wv2927D
The teacher takes out a remote and presses a button. The amount of offers for everyone was shown on the board, the top 4 outclassing the rest by a large margin.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDxIEJqg0s
1. Kiri Tae
2. Katsuki Bakugo
3. Shouto Todoroki
4. Izuku Midoriya
5. Tenya Ida
6. Eijirō Kirishima
7. Ochaco Uraraka
8. Kyoka Jiro
9. Fumikage Tokoyami
10. Momo Yaoyorozu
11. Mina Ashido
12. Hanta Sero
13. Tsuyu Asui
14. Mezo Shoji
15. Denki Kaminari
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yhAsaDq4Y
Denki: “Aw man! At the bottom?!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfJrFHwEux
Jiro: “Losing instantly wasn’t a good look. I’m surprised you got one.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHPi96bR2I
Denki: “Guh.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xdmalOxN7
Uraraka: “Wow, we got offers! We got offers!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt27utlu13
She says with tears in her eyes while shaking Ida.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVd03duvfm
Ida: “Yes, yes.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPa6xxVrXX
Sero: “But how did Todoroki get more than Midoriya?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqdHKteaY6
Mina: “Yeah, he lost.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKvAhtx7Uj
Todoroki: “Hm, they’re probably all because of my dad.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y1atLAeo8
Bakugo: “Tch.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR6GJt17mW
Bakugo: ‘That’s not it.’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zCMwpBv3u
The boy knows good and well Deku could have gotten at least more offers than halfnhalf if he didn’t pussy out against ghost girl.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGFaiBXTE6
Izuku: “I’m just glad I got any.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWDsIXOvub
Kiri: “Inevitable.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eSEeRLTiL
Denki: “Yeah, this is no time for being humble. You earned it.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLoAIUk3uw
Before Bakugo could argue that point, Aizawa silenced the class once again.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dwM4nXhRv
Aizawa: “Quiet.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHqImDEADX
…
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRklYCVxzvU
Aizawa: “Keeping these results in mind, you will all be expected to participate in internships with pros. At USJ, you already got to experience combat with real villains, but it will still be meaningful training for you to see pros at work firsthand.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn4kViX4Sm
Izuku: “So that’s why we’re choosing hero names now.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3WqSlv4eU
Uraraka: “Things are suddenly getting a lot more fun!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4UHHutuZM
Aizawa: “Well, those hero names are still temporary, but if you’re not serious about it-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64Co3odP8X
Midnight: “You’ll have hell to pay later!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZAf5CRQmJ
Busting through the door like a sane woman, Midnight struts to the front of the class.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkAqYUSvGq
Midnight: “Because a lot of hero names used by students become recognized by society, and they end up becoming professional hero names!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI8cBdvxQa
Important words that went in one way and out the other. Her walk and general good looks made nearly every boy present glue their eyes onto her figure.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg47TvZ9WZ7
Sensing two different sets of glares, Izuku shut his eyes. Denki should have done the same.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8V9TPVkLw
Denki: “My eyes!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aU9C9D0H6
Jiro: “My bad, my earjacks slipped.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihuxncIspW
She says while twirling them.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02SotTDOju
Denki: “How!?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zDHqpYfhT
Aizawa: “Anyway, that’s how it is. Midnight will be making sure your names are okay. I can’t do stuff like that.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66eUQb0JrD
Aizawa: “When you give yourself a name, you get a more concrete image of what you want to be like in the future, and you can get close to it. This is what it means when they say, ‘Names and nature do often agree’. Like All Might, for example.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMtMe8IY3S
And with that speech done, the man gets into his sleeping bag and ignores the rest of the world. He’s done enough talking for the day.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi9i8X6JXq
As for the rest of the class, they were given dry erase boards to write their hero names on. It didn’t take long for Izuku to come up with a name.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYtkSpTpoR
He has actually been thinking about it since he was a child. It changed over time due to his quirk, but the foundational idea is the same. He wants a name that ties him to his family, his sisters.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBlRm4eVnq
Midnight: “Okay, let’s start presenting names starting with those who are ready.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiIscU79BE
Kirishima: ‘We’re presenting these!?’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpR3Said6M
Sero: ‘Man, that’ll take some nerve…’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKX8Cccftj
Clearly, no problem for the Midoriyas, Izuku and Kiri got up at the same time. They both looked at each other and nodded. No doubt, their names follow a similar theme.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmgw2zzZWw
Izuku: “Midnight, may we present our names together? I’m pretty sure they’re similar.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFG4xtuA2t
Midnight: “Aw, you two are adorable! Yes, you can. I’m informed of your family situation, so I know why they’ll be similar.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeYbFox09C
Nodding, the two go to the front and present their names together.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEPTcfrB47
Kirishima: “Whoa, epic names!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrU5T2cjPV
Jiro: “It’s on brand too.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EelWK6wuG
Izuku’s hero name: Aeon of The Firestorm
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ9713imQN
Kiri’s hero name: Einherjar of The Hurricane
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwZ7ZXbVYm
Izuku: “I know I don’t use fire often, but it’s a core ability of mine. I wanted to represent it. We also want our names to be similar to our sisters, but not a copy. So we had the weather phenomenon come second instead of first.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaSpPdNfB2
Kiri: “Nh.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTtmKbA7Wy
Denki: “And you did that without using telepathy? Wow, you two are in sync.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLVdgLmNcq
Kiri: “Nh. We’re Yin and Yang.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCpKkjpuL2
Momo stiffened when she heard that. She remembered when she compared her and Midoriya to the same concept.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFmuBFmvQx
Midnight: “Excellent! It even seems like you took some inspiration from Valkyrie. Einherjar are related to Valkyries after all. Now that I think about it, you even look a bit like her.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcknDa3cA6C
It was at that moment, that Todoroki’s dadmight theory just expanded. Izuku and Kiri tensing for a split second didn’t help.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qJwun8GMT
Kiri: “… Yes, I was inspired. She’s cool.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnfEq2YF41
Midnight: “She can be, but remember, she’s a vigilante. No matter what good she does, she is still breaking the law. Don’t be like that; you’re trying to be a hero, alright?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrySDokGpj1
Kiri: “… I understand.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8Tcq2skeG
Midnight: “Great, your names receive a pass!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5bwPkwlDz
Izuku: “T-Thank you, Midnight.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hOoPcIon1
As the duo sits back down, Momo feels a tug on her heart. Something was… different between Kiri and Izuku.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHXYDDwvlH
Momo: ‘I guess they made up. But why am I… upset? They’re family, nothing more.’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKEh4z78Hp
But are they? The way they look at each other now…
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYfH1RtquW
Momo: ‘We haven’t even talked about the kiss. Did it not… mean anything?’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hhHm1NZO9
She looks at Izuku and then at her hero name.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVYN8Qz4aS
Momo: ‘I have to be sure.’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5ODHX8BsW
Editing her name, Momo decides to declare her intentions. At least in a subtle way.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9MDfx2fi7
While that happened, others went up. Most were accepted; others were not.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0B7sAiRuH
Mina: “Che, what’s wrong with Alien Queen?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgXWIghrzw
Midnight: “We’re not looking for a lawsuit.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbyUG3nS9f
Before long, it was Momo’s turn. She went and presented her name while making sure to gauge Izuku’s reaction.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ZAc3arX8
Momo’s hero name: Creati of The Forge
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S4rAS2IvH
Midnight: “Oh? Taking inspiration, I see.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLk4miZ6Dh
Momo: “Yes. I was going to stick to Creati, but after seeing Midoriya’s, I wanted to take the style of his… last name.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreHQNGKgGd
Everyone: ‘Why does that sound like a marriage proposal?’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mKxTDln7q
Izuku and Momo’s slight blush didn’t go unnoticed.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFeBfJEG8d
Mina: ‘Wanting to take Midoriya’s last name? So bold!’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmLpSXRt7O
Kiri took a deep breath and swallowed the situation.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO6xLvC2cf
Kiri: ‘It’s alright. It’s only fair. Izu is still confused. He needs to sort his feelings for Udders out. I’m ahead. Besides… I have to be sure too… ’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVB5M55Nuy
Midnight: “Good! A creative and fitting name!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7CE3ivrr1
Momo nods and speeds-walks to her desk. Fortunately, or unfortunately, it was behind Izuku’s desk.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOY9WenKaS
Momo: ‘Maybe… that was too on the nose.’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeYOznavWJ
The names kept coming. The only one who failed to come up with one was Bakugo.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg52FzoSWZ
Bakugo: “Lord Explosion Murder!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR4k6KGB0F
Everyone: “No!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoDZfLFRb1
Despite the hilarity of Bakugo’s name being rejected for a second time, Izuku wasn’t blind to Ida’s turmoil when the boy presented his hero name.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ4f0Y5Gqq
Izuku: ‘Just presenting a hero name was hard for him. And I have a feeling that Tenya wasn’t what he actually wanted to write. But what can I do?’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGki4Xyaxp
Aizawa: “Now that most of you have chosen your hero names, we’ll go back to talking about the internships. They will last for a week. As for where you’ll have them, you’ll be given a list of your offers in addition to the forty agencies that accept UA interns. They all work in different places and have different specialties.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcJF6oUdeH
Midnight: “For example, Thirteen would be focused on rescues from accidents and disasters more than fighting villains.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOFHD9Bcq8
Aizawa: “Think carefully before you choose.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt4ldtg49H
Everyone: “Yes, sir.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3QMxdoved
The class was given their offer lists and excitedly looked through them.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu4bgr8EOC
Kirishima: “I want to fight crime in urban areas!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMjpNz2NAc
Tsuyu: “I hope I can intern at a place with floods. I wonder if there are any?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJKnnWO5BI
Aizawa: “Turn in your choices before the weekend.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5efT9BkoaE
Denki: “We get two days?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA6hHdZNwi
Aizawa: “Make your decision efficiently. Dismissed.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOU8BVMeIw
With that, Midnight and Aizawa left as lunchtime began for the students. They got in their preferred social groups and discussed their plans for internships.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuT550je5e
Mina: “Hey guys, have you decided what offer you’re going for?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg6KyqQNFm
Denki: “I’m still looking through the normal pro agencies.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi27j7F8Pil
Jiro: “You don’t want to accept the offer?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkzVFGnyV5
Denki: “Mmmm, I have a feeling they just want to use me for a battery.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAcWbJG7lO
Jiro: “Ah, that would make sense.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANGzooVeF0
Denki: “Darn it!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBXQFxcJia
Uraraka: “Midoriya, how about you?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUYhh1FMcQ
Izuku: “I already decided.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFd7rFyBJG
Jiro: “Let me guess, one of your sisters?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHftlCZryy
Izuku: “Yeah, I’m going for Fubuki.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCMNo1Itq0
Jiro: “Good choice; her agency is one of the best. Is Tae going with you?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMwtqiSuOs
Izuku: “Yea-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk0ci6yNRv
Kiri: “No.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T1OP2VhrR
It took a moment for the words to register before Izuku turned towards her.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJjHyhweoX
Izuku: “Huh?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGu4iWvHMo
Kiri: “Onee can’t help me improve.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaXT5Dsyef
Izuku: “T-That does make sense.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedr2fBdJqa
Mina: “You’re already so strong, Tae. Let the rest of us catch up first.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsE09gbonD
Kiri: “Must always improve. Villains won’t wait.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkHeM9a0j0
Mina: “Haaa, I guess you’re right.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXlYIQzyAZ
Uraraka: “Exactly! That’s why I’m interning with Battle Hero: Gunhead’s agency.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24Q0SbASdW
Izuku: “Huh? Gunhead’s a huge battle type! You’re going there, Uraraka?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rQBZAcYJe
Uraraka: “Yup! I got an offer from them!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS1GPXv9Ap
Izuku: “Really? I thought you were trying to be a hero like Thirteen.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV6DPmtftM
Uraraka: “Ultimately, yes. But fighting Bakugo at the sports festival made me think. The stronger I get, the more possibilities I’ll have! If I only do what I want, I’ll have a narrower perspective!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFyIdSaKhE
Kiri: “Nh. Wise words.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJstRESEPnW
Mina: “So cool!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOzvwtSKo0
Kirishima: “Hey, you’re going to Gunhead? Me too!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBr8MvLVy8
Uraraka: “Really?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb4dbHngkr
Kirishima: “Yeah! He can make me a better fighter and push my hardening to the limit!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIRGgj3hR6
Kiri: “Good choice.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHpIlGS0s0
Kirishima: “Haha, thanks.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5qrQyqWM1
Izuku: “So Kiri, what offer are you considering?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HMpeOviYy
He quickly moved the convo along and buried the unjust feeling of jealousy.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3roevbV90W
Izuku: ‘I have no right to feel that when I’m going to talk to Yaoyorozu. But if I do choose Yaoyorozu, wouldn’t Kiri and Kirishima… ’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB3pyVxpSB
Kiri: “Hm… Edgeshot.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpnubRBUwa
Uraraka: “Wow, you got an offer from the number six hero!?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPKXg8Ek7q
Izuku: “Why him?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgjFWVnjhB
Kiri: “…. Seems cool.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMLC3lFNGg
Kirishima: “Hahahaha!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX2UUV937e
Izuku: “Seriously?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2z0SsMLBG
Kiri: “Ninja skills can help.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmOhF4kI3s
Tokoyami: “Then we’ll be partners.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwPlYX0PU8
Appearing out of nowhere, Tokoyami appeared within the group.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylOIwvJEmN
Kirishima: “Whoa! Already got the stealth down.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqG5Hz4Q58
Kiri: “Umbra, want to become a ninja too?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVCIrkCLV5
Tokoyami: “Umbra? Hm, I like it. Yes, Edgeshot can teach me much about the shadows.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8XwqwT0fE
Kiri: “Nh.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0D0OYIlxT
Izuku: “Great… ”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsYSOK9wRy
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qRzUDDF65
Time passed, and the moment was approaching. He has to confront Yaoyorozu, but that’s not all he plans to do.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTnUgkSjSy
Izuku: ‘She may be a good fit for One For All. I should tell Kiri about it first.’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorPiZpIDOj
Izuku: “Kiri, I plan to ask All Might if I can give One For All to Yaoyorozu.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzAbmqZ03u
Kiri nearly tripped when she heard that. Good thing almost everyone was already gone; otherwise, they would have asked about it.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlJ6TmR16Z
Kiri: “You tell me this now?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmmhyfuLBO
Izuku: “To be fair, we were distracted yesterday.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj19OF2nRck
Kiri: “… Valid. But why? Kirishima better.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41kTpNCugO
Izuku: “It’s related to my theory on her quirk. If I’m correct, One For All would fit her better.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt0hh0zSWh
Kiri: “A theory?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3nj7s6kVU
Izuku: “Trust me. This has nothing to do with my… feelings. I do believe she is the right pick.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BJnywxRuI
Kiri: “… Fine.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTxfRpKB0G
In agreement, the two approached Yaoyorozu, who was just about to leave the classroom.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfRRMx9hP9
Izuku: “Yaoyorozu, wait.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUcAEw1fAu
Momo: “Y-Yes, Midoriya. I-I-Is there something wrong?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox9oWeMyuo
Izuku: “No, but I would like for you to meet us in All Might’s office.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG68KZqBlSN
Momo: “Uh, why?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH28iv7ZWrK
Izuku: “We have something very important to ask of you. And I… have something to say as well.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV1TkxZBaE
If it wasn’t Izuku asking, Momo would find this very… questionable. But she knows the boy wouldn’t do anything bad to her.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXirGjPgeK
Momo: “Okay, I’ll head there right now.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTp8Jmv2aj
Izuku: “Great. Thank you for this.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZkBkt7D8V
Momo: “Of course.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XyHMXl8BV
As she leaves for the office, Izuku texts the man his plan. Needless to say, he wasn’t happy.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuhxeUXSCY
All Might: “You tell me this now?!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFonays2y5
Izuku: “Sorry! But this was the best time. I have to tell Yaoyorozu something, and internships are coming, two birds with one stone, you know.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1NCOSQYzs
All Might: “Midoriya… this is something we should discuss first. But I will hear out your reasons when you get here.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUXfilUmMG
Izuku: “Thank you!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPfu5oErsd
Placing his phone in his pocket, he finally notices something. Kiri is gone.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDBeeklio7
Izuku: “Kiri?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWfJLNsiu0
He looks down the hall and sees her walking away.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5zcFi3Mal
Izuku: “Kiri, where are you going?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dmIGvYh22
Kiri: “Home.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5X0sL2fqG
Izuku: “Why?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDChryjSc0N
Kiri: “I… don’t want to see it.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cabqtw6zK
Izuku: “Ah… I see. I’m sorry.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbbBwE1Xih
She shakes her head.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqbQ3Ug0vM
Kiri: “I understand now. Love is… complicated. I… promise not to kiss you anymore… if you promise not to kiss her.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIkMVvNqK5
Izuku: “I promise… thank you, Kiri.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BuYyBXx02
Kiri: “Nh. Only fair.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNsQbQNzm5
He watches her go, and his heart aches at the sight.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGysms66aF5
Izuku: “Why must relationships be so confusing? Why can’t I just-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0DlieRdbM
He shakes his head and suppresses that side of himself further.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPMbDoTBEX
Izuku: ‘It won’t work, and they wouldn’t do it. End of story.’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFI8a6bKSL
In a flash of green, he was in All Might’s office. He looks around and notices that Momo wasn’t there.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQQ0Q0cPNq
Izuku: “Phew, she’s not here yet.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT7XJ3OyME
All Might was there, though.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE46lOyYz0
All Might: “Young Midoriya! Have you forgotten how to open doors?!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzQAAJ6LIa
Izuku: “S-Sorry! I just wanted to explain why I picked her first.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Pg56yWtu
The hero sighs and sits on the couch.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxckpYL44LA
All Might: “Alright, why young Yaoyorozu?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30gojrlehV
Izuku: “It’s because of her intellect, drive to help people, and her quirk. I have a theory that her lipids are just fuel for her quirk. She’s not doing conversion. So if she was given One For All-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDAshmj35r
All Might: “There would be nearly no limit to what she could create! Indeed, this is a good idea. However, it is a theory. Can her body handle it?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsjp2PJLao
Izuku: “I’m sure! We trained for a week together before the festival. I can confidently say she is stronger than I was when I started.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbJNAu6JFB
All Might: “That’s not saying much, young Midoriya.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hrEeHJf0E
Just then, Momo came into the room.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KayAeIyvx
Momo: “Excuse me. You two wanted to see me?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qjd73UXP2
The men looked at each other and had a silent conversation. Eventually, All Might sighed and accepted that Yaoyorozu may be a good match. He trusts his successor’s choice. Doesn’t hurt that the girl has the potential to take One For All places it’s never been.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceIWnqxaPy
As for Momo, she couldn’t help but feel a bit worried seeing these two talk with their eyes like that.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVi15rynTT
Momo: ‘Don’t tell me I did something wrong… ’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqwxveKCKK
All Might: “Young Yaoyorozu.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSgcRIZDkM
Momo: “Y-Yes!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhijwaQTRM
All Might: “What I’m about to say may not leave this room. Understand?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDIfkWtP44
Okay, now she’s freaking out.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mMkwNwDik
Izuku: “It’s okay, Yaoyorozu. It’s nothing bad; it’s just… a lot.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02W0hH3mx3
Momo: “I… am very confused. How do you know this secret, whatever it is, Midoriya?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqGlMgdK7B
Izuku: “I found out mostly by accident. If it makes you feel better, my entire family knows.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlsq6kQQpC
Momo: “Is it… a family secret?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbjk0ydp7U
Izuku: “No, it’s… more than that.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1VpkUY7Jf
Momo: “O-Okay?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1QlJHmNlj
All Might: “Young Yaoyorozu, you have been a level-headed and calm student. That is exactly what we need from you right now. It is quite shocking, so try to keep calm.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVmcvSIXTO
That didn't really make her heart rate slow down any. All Might relaxed, and a cloud of steam enveloped him. Momo let out a squeak of shock and backed up a step. When the smoke cleared, her eyes bulged, and she clapped her hands over her mouth to keep from screaming.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuvKc2AOst
Momo: “A-All Might?!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpMFxQzSjB
Toshinori sighed, his fitted suit hanging limply and ruffled on his skinny frame.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMNjUamERC
All Might: "Not a pretty sight, is it?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW86Pd20Pc
He laughed, slumping back down on the couch.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgK31oB63i
All Might: "About six years ago now, I was involved in a fight with a villain. Japan's deadliest villain, in fact."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRc5spm9O8
Izuku helped a trembling Momo to the sofa and sat down with her. She hadn't taken her eyes off Toshinori.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ7ZoEbvcB
All Might: "The fight went unreported. We buried all information about it deep. The fight was the toughest I’ve ever fought, and in the end my enemy was defeated. But I didn't get out unscathed."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1UIy9iKWf
Izuku rubbed her back to help her breathe and spoke as well.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX6DTLMwXZ
Izuku: "The villain got a good hit in as well. All Might was severely injured and had to go through multiple surgeries. This is the result."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AMIU5qghl
All Might: "I'm old now, young Yaoyorozu. Old and injured. I can only use my Quirk for around three hours a day now."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB7UavT8KK
Tears prickled at her eyes. She may not have been his number one fan, but not a soul didn’t respect this man. He was THE hero of an entire generation, and to see him like this…
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYMaA5tIBR
Momo: "A-All Might…"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzuMl6WUMz
She sniffed, contemplating how much this man sacrificed for them every day. And more than that, if Izuku knew about it and had been tasked with bringing her here, that meant their relationship was more than just a fresh student and teacher. But then… why is she here?
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBItsutOke8
Momo: "I-I thank you for trusting me with this, but… I don't understand why you're telling me any of this. I-"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMdqz9dsdP
She trailed off. Toshinori smiled at her, and it wasn't anywhere near as reassuring as his usual smiles.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMEoCcSgIt
All Might: "We're getting there. Do you need a moment? Some water or tea?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fyk2CSMeF
Momo: "N-Not yet. Maybe once we're done, a calming brew would be nice."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlXaZc1cta
All Might: "Very well. All Might's time is coming to an end."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP5HW6KpqV
It wasn't some great revelation. She'd figured that out already, just from his injured form and time limit. All the same, hearing it with such finality made her feel cold.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr6JreActj
All Might: "And so I've been looking to the next generation for hope. Your classes have some wonderful members, and you've been one of the standouts."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpReTp4K8k
Momo grimaces; she wants to believe that, but…
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsK7NMcKJG
All Might: “All Might had to be a natural-born Hero, but the truth is that there was nothing natural about my power."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgRT83LW5h
Momo: "W-what is that supposed to mean?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EZRTpcBkG
Izuku: "He means that until he was around our age, he was Quirkless. Like I was…"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKmNeHttyd
Momo: “R-Really? Do you mean he was a late bloomer or-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2qeV6WpZL
All Might: "No. You may have seen my interviews. I always get asked what my quirk is. I always deflect or make some sort of joke to take attention off of it. Because the truth is a secret generations old. My quirk is named One For All, and it is a sacred torch that can be passed from person to person."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1MMSqVtzR
All Might: "It’s a quirk that stockpiles power, combined with the quirk that allows you to pass on a quirk. And after eight generations and decades inside of me, it grew to what you see today."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyY9crEd9i
Momo: "Oh my god…"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVNgUuzQ16
Momo managed to breathe out, utterly dumbfounded. She felt like she was short-circuiting. She grabbed Izuku's hand without even thinking, drawing comfort from their clasped fingers.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N0vxmgwUB
The action caused Izuku to blush, but he didn’t pull away.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUazwaffKV
All Might: "Because of my injury, I had been searching for a worthy individual to pass my power onto. I met young Midoriya just over a year ago and deemed him the ideal candidate. The little quirkless boy with a gigantic heart who leapt into danger to save a boy who bullied him for years. Only he wasn't quite quirkless.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UiGgbKbbj
All Might: “It just took over a decade for his body to mature enough to handle his power. I was elated because I figured he was even more the ideal candidate. But once we came here for Recovery Girl to examine him and his quirk, we… saw how powerful it already was.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4EtduvFaq
Momo thinks back to what Izuku told her during the festival. Enough power to liquefy that monster and nearly burn him alive…
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5B8d9l3Tw
All Might: “Nezu feared that if his Phoenix Force combined with One For All, it could create something far too unstable. After hearing him, we and his family agreed it was too dangerous to risk."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffZYa89iot
Momo: “Midoriya… ”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJJpsYRFgJ
It was then she noticed she was holding his hand. Yep, the blush was coming in. But she didn’t stop; she liked holding it. Besides, he wasn’t pulling away.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiyqnGEMm3
After squeezing his hand, really embracing the warmth, Momo returned to the matter at hand. She’s a smart girl; she quickly figured out why they called her here.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvO2QshSoo
Momo: “W-W-Wait! You’re not thinking of-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0wWMsVA2H
All Might: “Yes. Young Midoriya has chosen you to inherit One For All.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVmMUi6JBf
Momo: “But why ME?!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMZybfFJSu
Momo yelped at having her crazy theory confirmed.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoBZKkXHWG
All Might: “Multiple reasons, young lady. Young Midoriya gave me some, but after thinking it over, there are more. Your dedication, your sense of justice, your desire to help others, and your leadership.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJkl2qWcqm
All Might: “You were born into the lap of luxury, unlike the rest of us, and yet you've chosen one of the most difficult and harrowing professions in the world. You've already seen darkness, and you haven’t broken.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6Z1BMBJCu
Momo: “None of us broke. There are others that fit your criteria. I’m not special.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsE2fUbo8J
Izuku: “But you are. No one has all of those qualities along with a serious nature, one that can handle this responsibility.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zWTK2OjUu
Momo: “I don’t know… I don’t feel worthy.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7l5h6DG8E
Izuku: “Then become worthy.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjngl2ZYkVx
Momo: “Huh?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg8kr8eKTe
Izuku: “Work hard, go plus ultra, if you think like that. Like I said before, I’ll be with you every step of the way.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lIqC2mWX4
Momo: “Midoriya… ”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjWoy9vD09
Izuku: “Trust me, I truly believe you are the best pick. I even think One For All would work best with your quirk.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrIFgNjDqy
Momo: “How so?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGWpik3iET
Izuku: “It’s a theory I hope is proven correct when you obtain One For All.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmD1kUJAQs
Momo: “And if it isn’t?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrxCSjwoCp
Izuku: “Then you still have super strength and durability along with your creations. You’ll have to train, but with it you’ll be able to deal with fighters like Sannomiya easier.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV2d6HTSCI
Momo: “I see… that would be nice.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagAkreSpeo
All Might: "You may not be my choice to take my place as the Symbol of Peace, and you may not have been my first choice to take my quirk either."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN8BmAxIkQ
Momo felt a pang. She was just a replacement for Izuku, wasn't she? Before more depressing thoughts could emerge, All Might continued.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPzwwdX6Ow
All Might: "But you are a fantastic heroine in the making and will be amazing no matter what your choice is. You have so much potential; you just need more confidence in yourself. I am offering you One For All because I feel you will be able to do the most good with it."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8aHwbsp9Q
All Might: "What do you say?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpHrhpVgEq
Momo: "I…"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO0emggVX7
She took a deep breath to try to collect herself.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatiMICrZDA
It wasn't working.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbwRkA2HHN
This was too much. This was such an honor, and she still wasn't used to being praised this much.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDkQL9c6d6
Momo: "I…I think I'd like that tea now."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGJyrtWWy9
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VTwDdTFgC
It had taken her fifteen minutes of relative quiet with her teacher, crush, and a good cup of tea to get her thoughts in order. She'd asked a few questions between sips, which the two had answered dutifully.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVtoj1f9n0
She was surprised to learn why he had created the Symbol of Peace, and it gave her much to think about. She also asked for details about the incident where Izuku gained his quirk and was a little disgusted.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMTmdcmpVO
After those rounds of questions, she felt she was almost ready to make her decision.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk3FV6rOAP
Momo: “Thank you so much for this opportunity, All Might."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGI3kmabY2
All Might: “You may call me Yagi-sensei or Toshinori when you see me like this, young lady."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHbf0CVgjW
Momo nodded at his words.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjsFTqqGR3
Momo: “It still astounds me that you think me worthy of inheriting something so vital. But….”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mI9TbMEk0
Momo took a deep breath, centering herself with her eyes closed before opening them with fierce determination.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqHrIzcuZA
Momo: "I've made my decision. I accept. I will not bring shame to either of you for the trust you have gifted me. Thank you!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5YWOhZIDN
Izuku and All Might gave her brilliant grins. But she wasn’t done.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkBH2PHbmq
Momo: "It's a great power you've entrusted me with, but that's not the reason I choose to take it."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY1rTMVR4A
They both looked at her with surprise.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNfpNvVZdE
Momo: “It's pretty clear to me that no matter what you've said or who you chose to pass it to, Izuku is still your successor as the Symbol of Peace."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdpLs5fio0
All Might: "You're not wrong, although I believe you will be right there with him."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCHuFVL9BT
Momo: "But that's exactly what I'm getting at. When you retire, that symbol is going to vanish, whether Izuku is ready or not."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcili6GHMKU
Toshinori grimaced unhappily, but she wasn't wrong.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9Bf9X06N9
Momo: "I admire you so much, All Might. Everything you've done for us since before we were born! You weren't wrong to want to become who you became, but after everything I've heard, I'm not sure it was the correct path. You stood and still stand alone. Ever since you got injured, crime rates have been climbing with your declining appearances. Those make SO much more sense now."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtruLFw2mqe
All Might: “Villains still run scared… but you're right. Especially in the last two years, the crime rate has climbed. Three hours just aren't enough… "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKijCOosRr
Momo: "And those heroes… "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvnxKHYZR7
She was uncharacteristically vehement as she recalled the heroes Izuku told her about.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGLrOkTr7q
Momo: “Those people who were going to let Bakugō-san drown because they lacked an appropriate quirk… you grew too far away, and there was no one who could help you. You became a pillar of strength, and you're the only thing holding up the country. No one tried to catch up to you! Or at least not enough people! Everyone just expects you to solve every problem!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFHgiAWet0
Momo: “I WON'T let that happen to Izuku. A pillar stands alone, and a pillar can crumble. All it needs is one fault, and the entire structure will come tumbling down. We need more than that. We need a foundation!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMF9EDiYIu
She stared at him with a determined gaze as she squeezed Izuku's hand tightly.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5DGz4nZuX
Momo: "I'm accepting not because I want your power, but because I refuse to let him be alone at the top!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbemHH4IPor
Izuku's admiration of her turned almost into adoration. He was staring at her as if she were a goddess.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk43dHTB9lk
Izuku: "Momo…"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrUOmES4Ly
Meanwhile, Toshinori was nearly crying.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUyMOVk0DR
All Might: "If any doubts ever existed within me, they were just extinguished."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0O9sb3rLb
He smiled in joy as he covered his eyes to keep his tears at bay.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx0OgrUnPW
All Might: "This really is such a great class. You are more than worthy, young lady. You are the right choice."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfr6Vy0Vlg
Momo: “Thank you for trusting me."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR1tbDQFQs
Izuku: "Are we doing it now? Is there some sort of ceremony?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqgvkEbZ4j
All Might: "No, we won’t be doing it now. One For All is a dangerous power, and an unprepared body wouldn't be capable of holding such tremendous power. It would blow her limbs off."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK73tBumo6C
Momo blanched. Hard.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxNY8PXO5a
Momo: “H-How strong do I need to be? Is… lifting cannons enough?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHubbsiGiT7
…
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXQrgSptbK
Izuku: “You can do that?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD79NzHjPdK
Momo: “Of course. Do you remember the canon I used in the entrance’s exam?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbDUiKFppC
Izuku: “Yes…?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgYQ5Kndb2
Momo: “I wouldn’t be very effective with it if I couldn’t move it if needed. So I can lift it.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lCxPYBQKZ
Izuku: “Wow.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAqE9R7Zav
He couldn’t help but scan her body.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk4Zm3HPH4
Izuku: ‘Where is she hiding all that muscle?’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUIVA2r8l9
Sensing his gaze, Momo covered her chest while looking away with a blush.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXKifGzYoZ
Momo: “Don’t stare so hard.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc4ol7Q4zs
Izuku: “S-S-Sorry!!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiMsDer53u
All Might: “HAHAHA! Well, if that’s the case, your fitness is at a good level. But I understand young Midoriya’s confusion; you are pretty slim for someone who can lift more than a ton."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqhIEbNDqV
He said with an All Might smile, flexing his right arm and making his suit creak audibly.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZQF6pZZ0J
Momo: "I weigh far more than I appear to, as well. I'm almost triple the weight of someone with the same body type as me."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd4eK7nmgh
Izuku: “Whoa…”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94cC2ouTbe
All Might: “Ahahaha!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEIuAWkNw4
Reaching up to his head, All Might plucked off a hair strand.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyEbCjzOwM
All Might: “Indeed? Well, that makes this significantly easier. Now, eat this!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBxIbufeH9
Izuku & Momo: “…huh?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSCcEt1cVF
All Might: "The transfer works off of DNA. I figured this was the least nasty thing."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvPNBNqkRg
Izuku: “It's nothing like I thought it would be!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrDq3KA6km
Momo: “Can't we just do a blood transfusion?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmlLgHyBhn
They both ask with equally grossed-out expressions.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgq4agorX9
All Might: "Dangerous. The transference might happen too quickly like that, without giving your body time to get used to it.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVWlprvYn6
Momo: “Oh bother. Well… here it goes.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPScFe7yQo0
She takes the hair with a grimace and prepares some more tea to clean out the taste. After that, she balls up the hair and tosses it back. Quickly, she drank the tea to push it down her throat and get rid of the taste.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfvEDrcHAT
Momo: “Eurgh, that feels weird."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZg2h7B61E
All Might: “Now, it should take a couple of hours to digest. You two go home, get some rest; tomorrow we’ll test it out after class.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBt8rvLEvy
The two get up and give a bow to All Might before leaving.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor3nbVLNPj
All Might: “Those two will do great.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNsBrjmJhC
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs3RDVimZq
With business done and the two alone, the awkwardness came back. Momo was the first to try and bring up the subject while they walked home together.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqmxmyI6Ly
Momo: “Thank you again for this opportunity.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy86lgtbBf
Izuku: “N-No problem.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0tOLujvu8
…
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsl95Qfp8k
…
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlqCG570Bl
Momo: “About the kiss, I’m sorry again. If you don’t feel the same way-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabm7HuhpFJ
Izuku: “A-Are you saying you feel the same way?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUiQupQ6k6
Momo: “S-Same? So-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr0K9DooU1
Izuku: “Well… yeah. Yaoyorozu, I do like you.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8xBeAIzGk
Her heart soars, and the desire to kiss him again grows. But she holds back. She never had a boyfriend before; she can’t rush things or turn him off.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ImGcRHPnd
The two stop and look at each other. That’s when Momo noticed something was wrong.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa2hFRNs2p
Momo: “W-What’s wrong?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR3CdwfSXV
Izuku: “Yaoyorozu, I really do like you.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoP5zuzZ8y
Momo: “… There’s a but coming.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBV3Jt3E8t
Izuku: “There’s something… you should know.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkGPsA15gE
It took all he had, but he explained it.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpcPgCpQAI
The truth about Kiri and his feelings for her.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfmkrNqhXS
The fact that he likes them both and how he’s currently struggling with it. He doesn’t know who he should be with, but at least she knows everything now.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS2jyTtOxQ
Much stuttering was involved, but Momo didn’t mind. She was too overwhelmed by this heartbreaking truth. She turned away and continued on her way. The last thing she needed was for him to see her crying.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6OQdDke90
Izuku: “Y-Yaoyorozu?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa4OjSISZK
Momo: “I-I’m sorry. I just… need some time. I-I’ll see you tomorrow.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSbAIyNEDt
He didn’t stop her. How could he? This whole situation is messed up.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxcMtV0EDR
Izuku: “I’m sorry.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICLKlJviqg
A flash of green later, Izuku was gone.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ZrCXStfx
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBksrRyg8Oq
That night, Momo stared up at her ceiling while lying on her bed. Her hair was down and spread across the silk covers.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnjB87y1Xv
She couldn’t sleep.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0aq5sgJXc
Her mind was a wreck.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHjR5xSC7K
Momo: “A mental projection, person, sister, and now potential lover. That’s crazy.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sbM3RtAlF
She has every right to back away from this. To forget her little crush and get on with her life. There are other boys out there.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Nki7rcAN
Momo: “Todoroki is cute.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiu44zbZ8i
She says that, but her heart doesn’t flutter like it does with Izuku. Besides, Todoroki is not really emotionally available like that.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk0Rum1zNq
Not like Izuku.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qqw19LjLg
He can’t match and challenge her intellect.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat9JDguMCH
Not like Izuku.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDqH75fFk0
He didn’t come for her when she was at her lowest, bringing her back to the surface.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW3x2QHM6B
Not like Izuku.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbmTHmXlis
He couldn’t empathize with her insecurities and help her through them.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMcTYx1RLC
Not like Izuku.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB1elBQCSn
Momo: “Damn it.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEnu4WcsoP
She closes her eyes and turns over. Why couldn’t she have fallen for a boy who wasn’t already entangled with someone like Kiri? Those two already fit together so well.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM1HdbmZN0
Momo: “Yin and Yang. I thought we were like that. But Tae… ”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw9mEAR6JT
Despite how well they fit, Tae is just a mental projection at the end of the day. Can she even feel love, real love? Is she not just reflecting what Izuku may be feeling for her? Is it even a healthy relationship?
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXEHsrhHft
Momo: “Why must this be so confusing?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIql7vb4zO
The poor girl sighs and wishes it was different. But the fact remains, she has fallen for Izuku. He is also still technically available.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuogGFaNk5
The question is, what will she do now?
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs39poJO8bv
Give him to Kiri? A potentially unhealthy relationship that might not even be real.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiACtPcSVh
Or fight for him? Not only for him, but for herself. A future and happiness she hasn’t experienced before and may never experience again.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZYylWAGcq
The answer? The heart already decided.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzcT0EPdzl
Momo: “I’m sorry, Tae, but I won’t give up. Not yet.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr4BPV9U9S
A/N: Okay, now I’m done. Yep, we’ll have to suffer through some love triangle drama before we get to the happy ending.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA292t0VSrI
At least you’re guaranteed a happy ending, these three becoming a throuple. Unlike those poor sods that read The Quintessential Quintuplets. Ridiculous.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dVANoT4Ik
Thank you, Banfan, for the hero name suggestions! You inspired the current hero names. I hope you all like it.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzLsxeSZWt
Bless me with some reviews. They feed my motivation and can influence how the story goes.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeynPZ2LJp0
For example, thanks to Pinkpi, I decided to keep One Punch Man out. His points are… questionable. But it is true, Saitama is interesting because of how strong he is and the effect it has on him.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhxsGZb3Tf
Without that, it might not be worth it to include him. If I’m wrong, then comment.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRET29TF6OS
You really can influence the plot to some degree.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3fato5Ri0
Finally, the last bit was not to bash Todoroki x Momo shippers. Momo was just pointing out differences between the Todoroki and Izuku of this story from her perspective. Making it clear why she prefers and likes Izuku here136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNxGVXR6xs
