Uraraka: “You two look terrible.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkM1QLEO5R
Today is the day.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu3GFa0KDy
Internships.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdrdwtkY2H
But Izuku and Kiri are so over it.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5hYzknBhn
Izuku: “Couldn’t sleep.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6YTjt8jvP
Kiri: “Nh.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl8FofZbvc
Their reasons, however, are very different. Izuku because of Momo and Kiri because of the lack of her snuggle buddy.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ2GvQxP0q
Despite that, they made sure to pay attention to Aizawa’s words.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk1sSgRTJy
Aizawa: “You’ve all got your costumes, right? Obviously, wearing them outside of internship duties is prohibited. Make sure not to lose them.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r9H6thbam
Mina: “Gooot iiiiiiit!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh56VHwmH7l
Aizawa: “Don’t stretch out that ‘Got it’, Ashido. And make sure to mind your manners during the internships. Got it? Good, let’s go.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUG4MIZa0k
Everyone follows Aizawa to their respective trains, some slower than others. Despite that, Izuku didn’t miss the blank look on Ida’s face. Rubbing the fatigue out of his eyes, Izuku approached Ida, with Uraraka and Kiri close behind.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbNDd0utMO
Izuku: “Ida.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jA4i3tu4e
The boy in question doesn’t turn around, but he does stop.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwhywkiJEQ
Izuku: “… If you need someone to talk to, you can always talk to us. We’re friends, after all.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYBFyKpIxP
Uraraka nods rapidly while Kiri stifles a yawn.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHyO0EfoF7
It took a moment, but Ida turned around and gave the best smile he could at the time.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEdBOKGMt1
Ida: “Sure.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu01lB7xzA
Quickly after, Ida turned around and left for his internship.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16lg62rt8z
Kiri: “Worried.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkur7elsxJ
Uraraka: “Me too! But what can we do?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu71Matoqr
Izuku: “I don’t know. We can’t be in two places at once.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBojoAWsVqx
Uraraka: “You think… Ida will be okay?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLW6eeshfd
Izuku: “I’m sure. He wouldn’t do anything dangerous. He’s too smart for that. We can only hope the hero he’s interning with can help.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjuHx9ew2b
Kiri: “Who is he interning with?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruP8YElC8U
Both Uraraka and Izuku notice that they never asked. They’ll come to regret that choice in due time.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqxGgr4dW2
For now, though, they have to leave, or they’ll miss their transport. So the trio separates and tries to refocus on the tasks ahead.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJg6EZTbk3
Because worrying doesn’t profit anything.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7jTFZhTTa
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1i6jCwWyQ
Fubuki: “What are you doing here?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw8qkUvWAW
The middle child was waiting in front of her agency alongside her closest aides; Eyelashes, Lily, and Mountain Ape. Right now, they stand ready to greet the interns, the most important being Izuku.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtoxLb2GkN
But guess who came first?
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW4Rhk2vsy
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I can’t visit?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz7snAYD7a
Fubuki: “No. You were never interested in the Blizzard Group. Why now? It’s because of Izuku, isn’t it?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDZZON4QJ9
Tatsumaki: “And if it does?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxQUJAKjwC
Fubuki: “This is my internship program. Maybe if you cared about those, Izu would have picked your agency instead.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13dYK2X7yr
The Blizzard group took a collective step back as the two sisters glared at each other.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr92iedVVkZ
Tatsumaki: “Hmph. I don’t see why you’re upset about this. Learning from both of us will only help him.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sgP7i7e6f
Fubuki: ‘It’s because I wanted some one-on-one time with him again. Besides…’
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHy9hHlOzb
Tatsumaki didn’t need to master what little Fubuki had managed to learn. She’s finally starting to make progress.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxxFy44Bws
Fubuki: ‘But fine, if she wants to play that way…’
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe6lsWF3Q4
Fubuki: “Fine, you can stay if you want.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nNKwl1HLT
Tatsumaki: “R-Really?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhLjDYN1sx
Fubuki: “But I’m in charge. This is my group, my building, my rules, and training program. Do you agree?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhDSDxy6IO
Tatsumaki: “… Within reason.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvq7weK1ba
Fubuki: “Good, because here they come.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2FLavgDmw
Tatsumaki: “They?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajErGOWVA6
The two sisters turn to see three figures making their way to them. One was Izuku, but the other two-
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5BW3qgL2B
Alice: “Boss Fubuki!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcbSJrE1xs
Karou: “I-Is that Tornado!?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKIkf8ktwM
The two fledgling heroes dashed to their respective heroes, with Izuku close behind.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE1afQk3mw
Fubuki: “Hello again, Alice. I hope my brother, has been good company.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLw73GrGwF
Alice: “A bit quiet, but Akashi made up for it.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvV33Bcw9M
Tatsumaki: “Right, that girl… ”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstfMv01UYO
Karou: “Tornado, I’m your biggest fan!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd22a9vuK5m
Tatsumaki: “I figured as much.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBp1YDYSoG
Izuku: “Hey, Tatsu, Fubuki.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGylJ5VL7a
The sisters switched their focus to their brother who was smiling at the interactions.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8iP66gynZ
Fubuki: “Welcome to the Blizzard Group, Izu. As for why Tatsu is here, she decided to let herself in.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJV8Vaf7vC
Karou: “Lucky!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AxAsVCJVQ
Fubuki: “Yes, because she can help me train you specifically, Akashi.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1aYL43hgH
Karou: “Really?!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZvNSyWWIP
Tatsumaki: “Wait, what?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW2YQqznAr
Fubuki: “My rules, remember?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTjlVB4Ti5
Tatsumaki: “… Well played. Fine.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5ERaiQhb7
Tatsumaki: “Sure, I’ll help you, Akashi.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8evBflP8Zh
Karou: “Yes! This is a much better deal; I can’t believe it!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzqtZxF194
Fubuki suppressed the eye twitch from that unintentional dig at her.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRF21Ck9CZ
Izuku: “What about me and Emory?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL9F3WXeON
Fubuki: “I have some ideas. First, follow me inside.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTNYeZaGHK
Izuku and Alice follow Fubuki alongside her group. Meanwhile, Tatsumaki sighs and focuses on Kaoru.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCWMb71Ji0
Tatsumaki: “Okay, since you’re here, I’ll show you how a pro hero patrols. It’s a bit different, and more annoying, for us since we can fly. Ready?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKmcWIwrIH
Kaoru: “Yes!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE0KrdTGqH
Tatsumaki flies further into the sky, and Kaoru hurries after her. Cutting back to Fubuki’s group, they’re walking through the well-lit halls of her agency. It’s a pretty extravagant place, enough to make both students admire the decor.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5MGPpuMIz
Alice: “This place is truly incredible. No wonder your agency won that reward.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6bwVppzGm
Izuku: “What reward?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1USxuGts1
Alice: “Best Agency Interior Design.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMewGRYGZw
Izuku: “Oh, wow. Makes sense. But it does make me wonder how Fubuki affords all of this.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WSkiSCDjx
Eyelashes and Lily glance at each other while sweat drips down their heads.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF2IpbTry1
Fubuki: “Alice!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nf6e5Kd9N
Alice: “Y-Yes?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5RiYTZSsf
Fubuki: “We’ll start with you today.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM2i7CuLWa
Alice: “N-No, you don’t have to do that. You can focus on your brother first; I don’t mind.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgG67ls7RD
Fubuki: “This will help him as well. Izuku, before we start training your quirk, I want you to do what you do best.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrxkDEKgaH
Izuku: “Um, what was that again?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM0u4GPsxW
Fubuki: “Analyze quirks.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t4GB646iD
She opens the door, and within is a large room with several types of plants. It was like an indoor garden with glass windows where possible so the sun could grace the room.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfAxIUi6fs
Alice: “Whoa… I’ve never seen so many plants.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDCUIKjvoM
Lily: “Wasn’t easy to get them.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4EJON6u3h
Mountain Ape: “Or refit this room for them.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fmxjFihCh
Fubuki: “But it’s worth it. If you work under me, I’ll do all I can to nurture your gifts.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCyoNe1Mwy
Alice: “I-I don’t know what to say.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCJ4X7DTKc
Fubuki: “You don’t have to say anything. Just let my brother work. Look, he’s already doing it.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpHOTEX2cY
The two girls look to Izuku, who instantly understood the assignment.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bgoPb7rhT
Analyze Alice’s quirk, which obviously has something to do with plants, and improve her usage. If he can do that for her, it will make things easier when he has to improve his own quirk.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjJyH8Mbrc
So, like many times, he’s mumbling and spilling out all the different ideas he has. A sight that caused sweat to drop from everyone present.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBecfq4pnB
Fubuki: “Izu.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEWWTpffMq
Izuku: “H-Huh? S-Sorry.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm19EEgWKH
Fubuki: “It’s alright. But maybe you should wait until Alice explains her quirk in detail first.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv1OIoksXh
Izuku: “R-Right.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ia5QIT8G9
Fubuki: “Okay, have fun. I’m looking forward to your report, Izu, but try to make it less than 10 pages. They shouldn’t be too long when submitting to a pro or the police. Don’t forget to properly edit as well.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPs2rQFNxe
Izuku: “Right! I won’t let you down!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw03K6aMa1
She nods and leaves the room, with her three aides following soon after. When the group got far enough away, Lily was the first to ask the burning question.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4pryuVlYE
Lily: “Boss Fubuki?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurpqGxeblW
Fubuki: “Yes?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCWR6Ha04A
Lily: “Does your brother-”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVfRMrwqss
Fubuki: “No, and he’ll never know.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Si80Vctgd
Lily: “I see. Then maybe… we should stop.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGWlJrkM4m
Eyelashes: “Lily!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOM9JibrUc
Lily: “Just seems… unfair… and wrong… what we do.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvMc6XBb6p
Mountain Ape: “But it’s the reason why we kept our position in the hero rankings.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr26h7CFGgk
Fubuki: “And that’s why we’ll continue to do it.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57e1i6YEAg
Fubuki: ‘I won’t disappoint Tatsu or Izu by losing my placement. No, I’ll break this curse and break into the top 10.’
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqFKswWXLp
Fubuki: “Enough of that, time to patrol.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFRopWj690
Eyelashes: “A-Again?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIKaW6KwyM
Fubuki: “Of course. No time to rest. Gather the rest of the group, the ones not already out.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMdKSjf0Ar
Eyelashes: “Y-Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVl9b1z0TC
The trio sigh as they follow their leader out of the building and into another day of work.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLU3iMruqE
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7qmqGWpRX
Last night was wonderful. Momo never spoke on the phone with anyone for so long, especially not a boy. It took all she had to prevent herself from giggling during the call. It felt so… bad. A feeling she didn’t think she’d like.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ZCeqjsXx
Maybe she went overboard; she did notice how tired Midoriya looked the next morning. Didn’t stop her from having a spring in her step. Something Mina and Kyoka noticed.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B12PAB5Ig
To her surprise, they both supported her choice of potential boyfriend. Mina could have toned down the teasing, but it was all in good fun.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie7QUcm3oK
Everything was looking up.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeDZ8fKnii
But if that was the case, why was she standing awkwardly next to Tae?
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1cH5ldzUT
Momo: ‘I can’t believe we picked the same internship.’
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEZJHPzhnu
Now this was one aspect of the situation she couldn’t tell anyone. That means she has no one to talk to concerning her strange rivalry with Tae.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEq3UkvKS2
And even if she could, Tokoyami wasn’t the best person to talk to.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCQMtevzdr
Tokoyami: “Let’s not waste time.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3uLK0EV4l
Kiri: “Nh.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh7ZGPEPDp
Momo: “R-Right.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp470KgHYTe
Deciding to take the lead, Momo led the two introverts into the building and later the elevator. Edgeshot should be at the top, the number six hero.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8sH8NiL3X
She’s still a bit surprised that he’s interested in her. Tokoyami is one thing; they both deal with the shadows. But what did she do to catch his attention?
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWBnOTaJvQ
Momo: ‘Doesn’t matter. I can do this. I’ll learn all I can and become someone who can proudly call themselves a hero.’
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8vEUEJM9N
Resolve strengthened, she watches as the doors open, ready to guide her to a future…
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6iAFX8orT
… of a kunai being thrown at her face.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2OQCP17uG
Momo: “AH!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXVHFSbOUP
She ducked down right in time for the kunai to embed itself into the elevator wall.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBseUb9Lx8c
Tokoyami: “Dark Shadow!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIbuSElvOU
Kiri and Tokoyami exit the elevator, only to be met with a flash grenade.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIweRkiype
Protected by their backs, Momo wasn’t as affected. But she couldn’t do much but watch as Kiri was quickly pinned to the ground with a complex grapple and Tokoyami was captured by a net wrist gun.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WrE9PTlzd
All due to some cloaked figure who was making sure Kiri couldn’t muster the strength to escape his hold.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoLQuSqkG6
But that didn’t mean it was over; Momo wasn’t going to go out like this. She quickly created a bo staff and charged the man. If she could free Kiri, then together they could get out of this.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8CqKBOzK0
However, similar to before, she was outmatched. Even more so this time, since this cloaked figure was even better than Shiho and could fight her off with one hand.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKWSUeejCX
The assault was intense enough to once again short-circuit her mind.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePclxwPUz5
Momo: ‘No!’
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTma0Mesao
Or it would have, if she wasn’t rebuilt into a better version of herself. Calling on One For All, she increased her strength and speed enough to overtake the tempo of the martial clash for just a moment.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPqWPiPSTK
That was all she needed to extend her bo staff and strike the figure in the stomach, flinging him off Kiri. Free, the girl rose and charged the man with a fist ready to knock him out.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENccwwBVkP
But to everyone’s shock, the man transformed into a blade of red string and bypassed Kiri, going straight for Momo’s skull.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlgbzajXUK
This was it, the time when she really did freeze. Too many options, too many variables, not enough time.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTNEEZwk0j
Luckily, Dark Shadow appeared and took the hit instead. Blocked, the man transformed back and jumped back and over Kiri, who tried to attack him from behind.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN5XM1P0xH
The three students regrouped and looked at the cloaked man with the intent to survive this encounter. That was until Tokoyami finally recognized the quirk used.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiaIr7vHkk
Tokoyami: “You’re Edgeshot, aren’t you?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZkyDs3VnU
Momo: “W-What?!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuk9tDsbnu
Kiri: “Ah.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsBY0hFAyj
Edgeshot: “Well done.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0amsVNMmZc
The man removed his cloak to reveal his true identity.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT9nL3vC8M
Edgeshot: “I was right to choose you three. Come, let’s have some tea before we officially begin.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrSCrZe7on
With that, he walked away like nothing happened. Kiri and Tokoyami took it in stride, but Momo…
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC2Vvb5rGE
Momo: “Hold on! W-What was that!?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYcbk6vNmO
Tokoyami: “A test.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjXx9SLxEd
Kiri: “A good one. Simple and effective.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCKUJSteMf
Momo: “Am I the only one bothered by this!?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpgZeNgiYi
Edgeshot: “Please, no screaming in the dojo. All will be explained; please, follow me.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozOc4H9t25
The introverts follow without question while Momo sighed, trying to collect herself from the near-death experience. After a moment, she shakily followed the rest of the group.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rVzgztb6F
Edgeshot led them to another room with a classic Japaneses-style sitting area. Sitting cushions were already out for them. Edgeshot took a seat while the students sat on the three cushions across from him.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPGcOCHqmZ
As Edgeshot poured them all tea, he began to speak.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYM4SBXz9T
Edgeshot: “As you may have guessed, I attacked to test you all. I’m pleased to see you all did well enough. But there is room for improvement. First, Tokoyami.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZQRpCKSx5
He passed the boy a teacup before continuing.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpqF7S7Iw5
Edgeshot: “Am I correct in assuming that you want to intern with me to better blend in with the shadows?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXfvp3L87S
Tokoyami: “Yes, and perhaps better control Dark Shadow within the darkness.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCrrW9TFdl
Edgeshot: “Mmmm, I can help you with this, yes. But as you can see, you are far too weak to light and overreliant on your quirk. We will focus on those points first. Out of you three, I will take you out on patrol the most because of this.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQPhoN9IJL
Tokoyami: “… I understand.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDOysdMxVw
Edgeshot: “Next, Tae.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ItHg9kBak
He gives her tea, but she doesn’t drink it, only stares.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvb8vEDSD3
Kiri: “Sugar?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZnUIL4rMY
Edgeshot: “Of course.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWuCZVTyUp
He got some sugar cubes and placed it in Kiri’s tea, much to her silent delight.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOwtgxsy25
Edgeshot: “I played close attention to your matches. It would seem your quirk is more than simple physical enhancement.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC1BMUMoFt
Kiri: “Yes, tactile telekinesis.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq87v9etSAF
Edgeshot: “Indeed, but you used it poorly.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRRQRxcD0U
Kiri: “How so?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT76xRLT0UX
Edgeshot: “You showed a bit of it when facing Midoriya. You stuck to his hand to prevent a ringout. However, you never employed such strategies again. I will teach you how to properly grapple.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ7rQ89eDV
Kiri: “Grappling? Like what you did to me?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a281EEWGj
Edgeshot: “Indeed, if you knew how to grapple using your quirk, there would be few that could escape from you. Even fewer would be able to pin you down as I did.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgZ4VPsbZi
Kiri: “Nh. I like it.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIoaLIGlXn
Edgeshot: “Finally, the one with the most potential here, Yaoyorozu.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFn0xMjrKT
She accepts the tea but is shaking while doing so.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk5AD29WXB
Momo: “M-Most potential?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dnopzzHHK
Edgeshot: “Exactly.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVnjBJ4L1c
Momo: “B-But how? I-I didn’t perform well, not when compared to… ”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck04BWMWaJ
She glances at Kiri, who meets her gaze for that second.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtvvxPc4LJ
Edgeshot: “What I saw out there was a girl with mountains of amazing potential. But she cracked under pressure. I attacked you specifically to see what you would do in a sudden crisis situation. You did better than I expected and even showed a sudden burst of strength and speed. I’m glad I made the right choice in picking you.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyCJLH4Vo2
Momo: “T-Thank you. I-I won’t let you down. But… how will you help me?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoUIgGiYA1
Edgeshot stood up and began pacing.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOombHyX5I
Edgeshot: “Tell me, do any of you know what a shinobi is?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx25xZlyLyi
Kiri: “Ninja.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7i3wBDPiX
Tokoyami: “A master of the shadows.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpV43f118R
Momo: “… A disciplined warrior.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9oY0LUSId
Edgeshot: “You are all correct, but Yaoyorozu’s answer is the closest to what a shinobi truly is.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZvDXv57nu
The hero pulled out a small kunai and tossed it above his head. Momo let out a small gasp but trusted the pro hero. That trust paid off as the kunai missed his body by mere inches.

Edgeshot: “A shinobi is one who is mentally disciplined for panic. No matter the stakes, the pressure, or the foe, a shinobi never panics. For if they panic, they have already been defeated, and everything they protect will be lost. They must keep a level head at all times, even at death’s door. You all will learn this, but you need this lesson most of all, Yaoyorozu.”

Momo: “But, I can’t just learn how to do that in a day, or even a week!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcpBTqawI1
Edgeshot: “Correct. But I’ll help you take the first steps. Do you trust me?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkLIonTPEm
Momo: “I… yes. I do.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLoKa8cNmc
Edgeshot: “Good, then let us start. Follow me, all of you.”

The students followed the pro hero as he walked over to a large sliding door and opened it to reveal an old-style dojo. Edgeshot walked over to a shelf and pulled off a box. He opened it to reveal two dozen sets of silver shuriken.

Edgeshot: “Out of the three of you, Tae seems to have the strongest mental strength. So watch, this is the level you two must eventually reach. Come, stand up against the wall over there, Tae.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA2Gh5Fv24
She obeys and waits for the inevitable. He could tell she knew what he was going to do, so he skipped the explanation. He threw a shuriken, not at Tae but close enough to be dangerous. As proven by the fact it was embedded in the wall.

Despite that, she didn’t flinch, but she did tense noticeably.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdICFhhsUS
Kiri: “Fast.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcK1mrYjfO
Edgeshot: “Good job.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueG4hJgkmu
Momo: “You… expect us to not flinch?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DF1s5o9lR
Edgeshot: “Correct. I will adjust the speed for each of you so you’re not completely caught off guard. Don’t worry. Next, Tokoyami.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WK9W286CN
The boy takes in a breath and replaces Kiri on the chopping block. Like before, Edgeshot threw the shuriken. This time, it was at a different location and speed. But still, Tokoyami flinched. It was a quick one-eye flinch, but a flinch nonetheless.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj4oH8YVVW
Edgeshot: “Fair, we’ll work on it alongside the other lessons. Next, Yaoyorozu.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkQRD7WrDN
She swallowed her worry and self-doubt before getting into position. Edgeshot was going to throw again, but he noticed the subtle shaking.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVe1FNqwHj
Unlike the other two, Momo was unconsciously shaking despite trying her hardest to suppress it.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwj9QWXarL
Edgeshot: “Yaoyorozu.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHoc2olZ66
Momo: “Y-Yes.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlkb4a77uM
Edgeshot: “It’s human nature to fear and flinch at danger; it’s natural. But trying too hard to suppress it will only make it harder to focus. Calm your mind. Slowly breathe, in and out. Don’t focus on the shuriken or the future, only on me and the present.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCTWLHPikR
Momo: “I-I’ll try.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTEq0aSC0D
The girl closed her eyes and tried to focus on just the present, the task at hand. Her mind drifts to those she doesn’t want to let down anymore. Her family, classmates, and teachers.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRLdMWjFd0
And out of those faces, who stands out the most? Who else but Kyoka and Izuku?
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFQTv8CNZ8
This is the first step in being a better hero; she can’t fail. So she opens her eyes, relaxes her nerves, and takes in the present.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXeshAH9hV
Edgeshot: “Good.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYq7Mq7g6J
He releases the shuriken, and to everyone’s shock, Momo didn’t flinch or even tense.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zy9pKHR12
Edgeshot: “Impressive. However-”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ522Igloyjt
Momo suddenly fell to her knees and started to breathe heavily.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnRWUyUQC8
Edgeshot: “You focused too much and forgot to breathe. It was good for this exercise, but that rigidity won’t work in a real crisis.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu17HoAODt
Momo: “I-I understand.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhWwyhBirK
Edgeshot: “Don’t beat yourself up. This is a good first step.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOmuSPqG1G
Momo: “O-Okay, thank you.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOEOZ3mimW
Edgeshot: “Now, let’s see how you three fare after an hour of this.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3gPbxD0ak
Momo: “… Oh.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdaZbddChj
Kiri: “We’re in danger.”
