The sky was shining, the air was clean, and Neito was speaking nonsense.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJQudZpPzJ
Neito: “Huh? Class A’s got kids in remedial? So in other words, some of them failed the test?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMuYHfgGEn
Yep, just another normal day.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyZ0Wa6Hjg
Neito: “What, what!? Isn’t that odd, though!? And here I thought Class A was supposed to be sooooo much better than Class B, was it not!? What iiis thiiiis!?”

A second later, Sabrina gave the boy a hard chop to the back of the head. After that, Kendo carried the troublemaker away. Sabrina turned to Class 1-A and gave a respectful nod of apology before going back to her class.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXBCoTBg2V
Mina: “I guess we’re sharing the Forest lodge.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ3u2ca65R
Denki: “Yeah… ”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoeksMHuxQ
Kiri: “Not that bad. New and old friends.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XjzsRaU0v
She says while waving to Kaoru and her sisters, who wave back in their own ways.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcdxqExVtC
Izuku: ‘New friends… right… ’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5omsn9UBHM
As his class gets ready to board their bus, Izuku’s eyes are drawn to two girls from the other class. One had pale grey hair and was styled in an unkempt pixie bob. Along with her demeanor, it makes her come off as a ghost.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b4MD1jpey
The other had long, dark moss-green hair and a toothy smile.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPp0ibhBOV
Totally normal girls by UA standards. So why….
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlSD5uDt5e
The Third: “*&*%)*@!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpczYEuNEp
The Tenth: “*%)%&(@>”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx8F2VvdZo
Izuku: ‘Again!?’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi4zX8pE2B
He just had a talk with Tokoyami and has to eventually talk with Hado. Now, there are two other Apostles to convince, somehow.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYFpq08pEl
Phoenix: “It is important, prince. Don’t worry too much about it for now. They will be patient.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoLsoToA81
Izuku: “… Fine. I just hope there aren’t any more for a while.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYQZj0v8QA
Phoenix: “… About that-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BRsnR0byo
Momo: “Izu, are you alright?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacGVtrGcK4
Taken out of his mental conversation, he turns to his girlfriend.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeabo0cfKM
Izuku: “Y-Yes, just thinking. Don’t worry about it.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUfLQsKxRr
Momo: “… If you’re sure, then I trust you.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyvRXfUE2t
Izuku: “Thanks, Momo.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyJ5jZ5qjr
Momo: “Always. Now come on, the bus won’t wait for us forever.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBOk2kSnu9
Leading him by the hand, the duo finally got the bus and took their seats together. Across from them was Kiri, who was sitting beside Jiro.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt2mlJApXc
Kiri: “Okay?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cqCOkI5e2
Jiro: “Yeah, you were kind of out of it?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4U2CKfoUk
Izuku: “It’s fine. Just thinking about how to push my quirk further during the Forest Lodge. No worries.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnwoqNbmlB
Kiri: “… Okay.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N9SUUV2oi
Jiro nods in agreement as the bus finally starts moving. The serious atmosphere between the four quickly bled away as the bus became animated with excitement.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgKRbw3fqs
Aizawa tried to cut in with some directions about the trip but decided against it when his voice couldn’t reach them.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLBJ1M2jFP
It was for the best. This will be all the time they’ll be getting to be in such high spirits after all.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zvadGmOCd
An hour later, the bus arrived at a dirt clearing on a cliff overlooking the thick forest below. The class got out and stretched their legs. But something was amiss.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpfPfTA7QF
First of all, where was the lodge?
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj8QWbfiFz
Second, where was class B?
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQVBpCkVgW
Sensing their questions, Aizawa spoke up.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoY2EhDTbK
Aizawa: “This would all be pretty meaningless without some goal, so… ”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY51ZfwOepM
Pixie-Bob: “Yooooooo, Eraserhead!! You haven’t contacted us in a while!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPbFMKtUya
Mandalay: “Lock on target with our sparkly eyes!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbiY0aWr5l
Pixie-Bob: “While our cute, cute stingers sting!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFfk8Rdqnd
Mandalay & Pixie-Bob: “Wild Wild Pussy Cats!!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzNWIhNkpP
They exclaim while performing a practiced cute pose.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvTzobhMXb
Aizawa: “The pro heroes who’ll be looking after you lot are the members of the ‘Pussycats’.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwTnJe52Q4
Kiri: “Cat Lady!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkpTFS7GkU
And so the pose was momentarily broken by Pixie-Bob nearly tripping.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrXKr4li3N
Pixie-Bob: “Kiri, I thought I said to call me Pixie-Bob!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrBFkb5B5I
Mandalay: “Haha.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYM1R5r5BO
Uraraka: “Wait, you know them?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbWfk1PL6u
Momo: “Personally?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT93vOqnZy
Kiri: “Nh. I-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQuoHr8Cju
Pixie-Bob: “We took care of her before she was adopted by the Midoriyas!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYHdserO1q
Mandalay: “Yeah!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MF08nKgtm
It was then that Kiri realized what she almost revealed. In order to explain her relation to them, she would have to explain her true nature to everyone.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBzgbPtdzH
Kiri: “R-Right.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHMsAztd6D
She looks to Aizawa, who gives a slight nod. It seems like the backstory was discussed beforehand, in case Kiri almost spilled something.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wMjFT5cJo
Everyone bought the lie, all except Momo. The girl edged closer to her partner and whispered-
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZKj2jeomo
Momo: “Does this have to do with you-know-what?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqtnJQRZ1F
Kiri: “Nh.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7J18SqcdI
Momo: “Does Izu know?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxF1quqp8V
Shockingly, she hasn’t told him. But to be fair, there was always something more important to discuss.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk5E4qiQsh
Kiri: “No.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4N1QiQMaV
Momo: “Bad girl.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjaQlISxDb
For unknown reasons, a blush escaped Kiri’s cheeks as her breath hitched.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkHfnhPE7u
Kiri: “E-Explain later.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZQ8Aikbrq
Momo: “Looking forward to it.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8UGaukbfI
As the two separate, the pro heroes go on to explain what’s going to happen. But Izuku was the only one not paying attention.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBViSqo7p2
He didn’t gush about the new pro heroes and didn’t notice his girls whispering. Instead, his eyes twitched with annoyance.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0ziyvYkQ8
The Ninth: “^&(#)!”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT2a0zhI9E
The Fourth: “M*(@..”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHgspPFE8t
The only reason why he isn’t tearing out his hair from the fact the two of them want both pro heroes now, is because of The Fourth’s tone. It sounded… less happy with the choice. As if… it already had one in mind but was willing to settle. In fact, it sounded like how The Third sounded…
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFYIAmvyax
Enough was enough.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49u0cVhVHB
Izuku: “What’s going on? I want to know.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNiL60jg4s
Silence.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdlwfUcYfw
Izuku: “… Cecelyne.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK7HK7EHkR
Invoking the law keeper, the truth was laid bare, and Phoenix was the one to deliver.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CzaFbtiKR
Phoenix: “You are doing well with your abilities, Midoriya. They didn’t think it wise to… upset you.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB6w9iwNUK
Izuku: “What are you talking about?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNvAXZJYRO
Phoenix: “The Fourth and The Second already found their perfect Apostle, while The Third found an adequate one.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyc2hzBjte
Izuku: “So that’s why they felt similar. But why would The Fourth and The Second hide-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK8wQ5qqZj
It didn’t take long for Izuku to guess why they didn’t tell him right away.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmALSsQnpz
Izuku: “I know them? But I already asked Tokoyami and will ask Kanto and her friends eventually, so why-”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL09bRGe1IE
Then it clicked. There are only two groups of people Izuku would hate to ask. The first group are villains, for obvious reasons. The second… they confirmed his feelings when they declared their names.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMieBAQnjT
The Second desired Tatsumaki, and The Fourth desiredFubuki.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OGiZ5N698
It was only by sheer will and lucky timing that Izuku wasn’t the one to displace all the soil in the area.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm10T1wmPls
His eyes remained closed while his face stayed blank. The very idea that they wanted his sisters to go through even a millionth of what Shinso went though… it nearly made him relapse.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaKLZZADCY
But that wasn’t the solution.He knows that now.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSkCHSODxl
Izuku: “You’ll be happy with the replacements?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeQdnOJrhf
The sensation of acceptance flooded the boy’s mind, and he sighed in relief.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU989Ikec1
Izuku: “Then I’ll ask them before this training camp ends. As for you, Second, I’ll find a replacement for Tatsu. Be patient. For now though… ”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dmi8XmwSO
Before the little king hits the ground, he uses his quirk to stop his descent. Righting his angle, he lands on the grass and looks around the area before gazing up at the ruined cliffside.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi9pK6HPqw
After glancing at the nearby minds, he understood the situation.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEyROdU7et
Izuku: “So we have to reach the lodge by 12:30 or we won’t get lunch. Easy.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKXK0kXyFO
He says that, but a rock monster roared out of the trees and charged him. But he wasn’t worried.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZOm5YByu0
Its legs were suddenly sliced in half. A second later, the beast returned to the dirt it was spawned from. Behind the dirt pile was Momo, standing tall in her black ninja cloak.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJtmiKdcqu
Momo: “Izu, we need to have a talk about whatever has gotten you so upset.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXEFy3LcXl
Izuku: ‘Haaah… I guess I should talk to her and Kiri about it.’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6zpwdacS6
Before he can nod in acknowledgment, another monster suddenly slams its giant dirt fists on top of Momo. But again, Izuku wasn’t worried.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKszL1HflD6
Momo was already gone. The next instant, its head was on the ground, and it soon joined its brother in the soil.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTyyMX7lLY
Izuku: “Good job, Momo.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAvbx0FZI3
Momo: “Thank you. But don’t think flattery will get you out of talking with me and Kiri.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ180ouToRV0
Izuku: “Don’t worry, I’ll explain when we get to the lodge.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8ybwz6O35
It was then that he noticed the other girl in question wasn’t around.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwHCjRUeS0
Izuku: “Is Kiri ahead of us?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPyWjReQsH
Momo: “Actually, she is still up there. I’m sure Sensei will throw her down here eventually.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlENkI3vBse
Izuku: “But why is she up there?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidGhdyEJJA
Momo: “Just something else we have to discuss later. Come on, we’re already behind, and I for one don’t want to miss lunch.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWOnoQMNyq
Izuku: “R-Right.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrqkUk47j8
Giving one last glance toward the cliff, Izuku turns and joins Momo in the race toward the lodge.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkmk0x76WI
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJTQ70omui
Aizawa: “You know you have to join the others. You can catch up later.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOt16mhF7p
Kiri managed to react in time and escape into the air. But unlike Bakugo, who managed to do the same, she stayed topside.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKbsdiUF9y
Kiri: “Aw.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w7gfbRnJ6
Pixie-Bob: “Don’t worry, Kiri, we’ll talk later.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD2ThbZLud
Mandalay: “Right, besides, you wouldn’t want to miss out on lunch. So go join your class.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSbtm3KSAf
Kiri: “… Nh.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzdG5jjH3a
Unbeknownst to them, she didn’t stay behind just to catch up. No, it was the feeling she was getting from Mandalay. A heavy sense of worry and sadness. She managed to cover it well with smiles and work, but that didn’t fool Kiri.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbh6TGBo7J
But the question is, how can she help?
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF65GDB9Fq
Kiri: ‘Not right time. Later. Need advice.’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4HTHjbAbb
Giving one last glance to her friend, Kiri reluctantly jumps down to join her class.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk5vvCaNAH
When she was gone, Pixie-Bob and Mandalay let masks fall.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD4iSpkKec
Pixie-Bob: “She probably knows something is wrong.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8ZYktyJcG
Aizawa: “Still no sign of the kid?”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68lsjPR5d7
Mandalay tries to answer, but tears threaten to slip out again. So instead, Pixie-Bob answered.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHvsdELppw
Pixie-Bob: “No, but I know he didn’t… leave us during the Hosu incident. He’s out there somewhere. We just have to keep looking.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uJfrIrkIl
Aizawa: “… I hope so.”
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xjT98fupZ
The duo refocus on the training camp, anything to escape the unpleasant idea that perhaps the boy… didn’t make it.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOzQ8vLUbz
Mandalay: ‘I should have never have taken him with us to Hosu. I should have never let him out of my sight.’
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBWHO5dgZZ
She grips her arms enough to bruise, but the pain does nothing to distract her from the failure.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qR25qZbYm
Mandalay: ‘Kota… 76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwseIqFmU2z
