Izuku could feel a burning sensation on the back of his head. Someone was staring at him, someone he knows.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhRUlGxJYl
He whips his head around in time to see a flash of white hair. He sighs as he approaches the hiding Kiri.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fC7MsdLwh
Izuku: “Kiri, come out.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUv0AIEPac
After a few moments, his cute sister comes out with a slight pout on her face. Hiding behind a pole, classic.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIxj1ipU3c
Izuku: “It’s been a week, Kiri. You don’t have to keep worrying about me.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX225Yfo9I1
Kiri: “… Where are you going, Onii-chan?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDkzdxdN0F
Izuku: “You know where.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO50tPzHDt
Kiri: “… Don’t like it.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50XrvNQ5P0
Izuku: “Why?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyoHI1NtAL
Instead of answering, she blushes and looks at the ground. Unsurprisingly, Izuku doesn’t really understand why. And he won’t take any suggestions from S seriously.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7scsEeVsrn
Izuku: ‘That thing is clearly lying to me.’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf3XpGXdLP
Izuku: “Listen Kiri, this is important for me. I’ll be more prepared for the sports festival this way. You need to focus on training too.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdrgfmlETL
Kiri: “… Fine.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAngzASuix
Izuku: “Thank you.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdyZSA49od
He ruffles her hair and gives his precious little sister a bright smile. Afterwards, Kiri walks back home. Izuku once again sighs as she remembers what started this whole thing.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtuiaym3W9
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVNhSY5098
It was the day after encountering the other psychics when it happened. Class was over, and Izuku was getting ready to leave. But before he could, Momo approached him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk3MZSOaaz
Momo: “Midoriya?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WUdXwsqm5
Izuku: “Yes, Yaoyorozu?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3Ri693OSh
Momo: “I was wondering, do you remember what you said about my quirk before?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wcXRzLkdX
Izuku: “Yes, I remember.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4RC3xgzpa
Momo: “Well, I would like to accept your suggestion of going through some comics together. Can you come over to my house later today?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaN9HcU61n
You could hear a pen drop with how quiet the class became from that simple question. Well, if it wasn’t for the sound of a pencil being snapped in half.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq0siRC93y
Momo waited for Izuku’s answer while twirling a strand of her hair. As for Izuku, he had to wait for his brain to restart.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOUP2uv7wR
Izuku: ‘Me? Alone? With a girl? At her house?!’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGKFR3d8Tr
Instinctively, he nodded at her offer.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK6SuuYZun
Momo: “Great! Here is the address. I’m looking forward to working with you, Midoriya.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVt2PgZ24I
She wrote down her address and gave the slip of paper to Izuku, who absentmindedly took it. After that, she left the classroom with a slight spring in her step.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsilUge8PAb
It took ten seconds for everyone to recover from what just occurred. The first to react was Mina, who strolled up to Izuku and placed a hand on his shoulder. After taking a breath, she gave the stunned boy a thumbs-up.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAw1tl8U2d
Mina: “Nice.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHvHXE39dN
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkKhTlkpjJ
Mina: “You just got invited to Yaomomo’s house. You sly dog, skipping steps, aren’t we?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeQdzGbXG2
That finally got Izuku out of his stupor and into sporting a fresh blush.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprNJk72YWy
Izuku: “N-N-No, it’s nothing like that! I’m just helping Yaoyorozu with training, that’s all!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CgSBiOosU
Mina: “Training, hmmm? You mean the type that gets you all hot and sweaty?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9ubkiLgyg
Before the teasing could go on any further, Kiri loudly got up and walked to the door.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNZZmjOIxS
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO6LWvm87o
Kiri: “Onii-chan. Home. Now.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3tEjkNdrC
Izuku: “Y-Yes!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHyeyd7YY3
Izuku escaped the teasing eyes of his friends and left with Kiri. They didn’t say a word on the way home. For the first time, there was an awkward space between them. Sadly, Izuku refused to see why.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqYJqXTET0
Instead, his mind refocused on the task at hand. Training with Momo might actually help him a lot. Considering the new ability Phase 3 gave him, her knowledge of the atomic will prove valuable.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WuKBVHkiQ
So when it was time to leave for Momo’s house, Izuku called out to Kiri.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuVVuBMH0r
Izuku: “Go on without me, Kiri. I’ll be back later.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI7mDKQvOX
She stops and doesn’t turn around.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBhh5GhSQt
Kiri: “You’re leaving?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygSfT2WKyc
Izuku: “Don’t let what Mina said get to you; I’m just training.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDaOPkh31x
Kiri: “… I know. I’ll see you at home.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBeVySzQXR
Izuku waits until Kiri is out of view before making his way to the house. All the while trying to focus the training, not on the fact he’s about to spend time at a girl’s house.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIuJqe1Dug
But when he got there, house didn’t quite cover the scenery.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq528KJ8RS
Izuku: “Am I at the right place?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsItjrldiut
He checks the paper, and yes, it was the right place.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhl8rmYhNa
Izuku: ‘Rich.’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79tc6r6o74
Plain and simple, that girl was loaded. Swallowing his nerves, he presses what he assumes is the doorbell. And sure enough, the classic sound rang out.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ0rAfSZS7
Momo: “Midoriya, you’re here sooner than I expected. But I’m happy to see you’re eager to help. Please, come in.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrTRTv3xfl
The gates to her mansion open with a groan, leaving Izuku’s mouth wide open in awe.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcZuY1g8qU
Izuku: ‘She’s almost as extravagant as Fubuki.’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnhzi0WdZv
Steeling himself, he enters a new world.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WVWAmwqEe
Inside, Izuku found himself in a glorious food hall filled with the most expensive finery.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHj9NxKz3C
Izuku: ‘Where am I? A palace?’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkeNcpz5iR
After sitting down, Momo came through a door pushing a cart with tea and various comic books.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy6udK34JY
Momo: “Welcome, Midoriya. I didn’t know what tea you liked, so I brought some of my favorites. Which are you partial to? Harrod’s or Wedgwood?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV2BP1rjYQ
Izuku would have been stunned by the fact there are different types of tea. But instead of that, what stunned him was the casual red dress Momo was wearing.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj1ayHCVVf
He quickly turned away to hide his blush and then noticed his own clothes. He was still wearing his school clothes.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiFpdMkSQt
Momo: “What is it?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1PZcSCjaC
Izuku: “N-Nothing. I just… I’m sorry for coming in with my uniform.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbgoMDNvls
Momo: “It’s alright, I don’t mind. As long as you’re comfortable.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN8ooJ52U1
Izuku: “O-Okay, thank you. A-And, I have no preference. Surprise me.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogRuXZZmMD
Momo: “Gladly.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK2gp8CITG
The girl poured some tea for herself and Izuku before sitting across from him. The two took a sip, and to Izuku’s surprise, he liked it. In fact, he feels calmer, his mind more settled.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva6hcEtU5K
Izuku: “This is good! Thank you, Yaoyorozu!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeIMnprutY
Momo: “You’re welcome. Now, before we start on these comics, I want to repay you first.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrshjyO9q2E
Izuku: “I-In what way?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwLfEVy7CU
Momo: “Practicing your telepathy.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehJnhM3k62
His eyes widen as he remembered what she said before.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBISlH3bNXK
Izuku: “A-Are you sure? I don’t want to force you.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83MuL6S6aM
Momo: “It’s fine. This is the least I can do. I give you permission to try and read my mind. Maybe we can learn how to speak to each other like that. Haha, I’m a bit excited.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi6Ypan3zL
Izuku: “O-Okay, if you’re sure.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLfRWK7ZHe
She nods, and Izuku closes his eyes. He quiets all voices and empties himself. This will be the first time he ever did this to anyone outside his family.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8zlsZ7lxF
Despite that, however, it comes easily. He can feel his mind connecting with Momo, and the sensation makes him gasp. Her mind feels… sweet and yet strong as well. But there is a feeling of cracks within the strength.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzuePARSvu
Momo: “Midoriya, can you hear me?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMVMPGztMZ
Izuku: “Yaoyorozu! Yes, I can hear you.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0bgvImewh
Momo: “I’m glad! I… felt something in my head, and I assumed it was you. What do I have to do to hear you?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhUtsbbT4w
Izuku: “I’ll try speaking first, and then we’ll go from there.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Rpj4IGxb4
Izuku: “Hello, Yaoyorozu. Can you hear me?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjRfdbOunH
Momo: “Yes! This was easier than I thought it would be. But this does mean we can try this with everyone else, like Ida suggested.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O2mgmxuBx
Izuku: “Maybe, but I think we should keep this between us for now.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j9mXgu900
Momo: “Huh?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGKMvh2P0k
Izuku: “I-I mean, just to practice! This is all new to me, so I think it would be better if I just did this with you for now. If you don’t mind, of course.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWoOjPw6za
Momo: “Cute.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EzfH8LRSx
Izuku: “Huh!?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvDnoa3bBx
Momo: “D-Did I think that out loud?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl94xB3B17E
The poor boy nodded, which caused Momo to blush.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnPknUp9ys
Momo: “Sorry, I guess I need to learn how to better filter my thoughts.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIunrod4nVj
Izuku: “I-It’s fine. I learned to do that too. I could never hide much from Tatsu or Fubuki when I was a kid.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeD6wXdRaW
Momo: “Now you can?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4arnnG1U0t
Izuku: “Mostly. But if they really wanted to, I doubt it. But we respect each other’s privacy. I’ll do the same with you. Only surface thoughts.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSXsNNvYvj
Momo: “Thank you, Midoriya. Do you want to try again, or do you want to move on?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I91eITQ8a
Izuku: “We can try again.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcMZfA8xfm
Momo gives a soft and lovely laugh before continuing the telepathic conversation.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi9g40Ds6b
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpdjqoz127
That’s how it was for the last week. Every day after school, Izuku would go to Momo’s house and train. But it felt more like simple hangouts.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGyb8UApbR
They speak telepathically, then experiment with their quirks using comics as reference. If comics don’t help, they read some scientific papers.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTLoPj3qsB
Those times were the best. Just sitting together in a comfortable silence while reading books. A simple pleasure that was unexpected but very welcome.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIyZ4Mi4iX
The results?
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXMw79bmNq
Momo had many new ideas to draw from while Izuku got better at using his new ability. It’s not as good as Momo’s creation, but it’s getting there.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vgQkMNmHE
Today, Izuku expected it to be the same. He entered the hall and called out to his friend.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdzdI6ig1v
Izuku: “I’m here, Yaoyorozu.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJRST6Ha1Y
Momo: “I’m coming.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT6kAD4MCv
This time, Momo came into the hall with a more… form-fitting outfit on. One that resembles her hero costume. Another surprise, but a welcome one. Still, it is questionable.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXwOzYeLE3
Izuku: “Yaoyorozu, what are you wearing?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBTN1iGvGi
Momo: “A combat outfit, not as good as my hero costume, but it will do.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2dyzFDs9A
Izuku: “But why?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQQNqEgU4o
Momo: “Midoriya, today I would like to try a different type of training today.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OJTpdHKJD
Izuku: “O-Okay? What kind?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82mlL7JBlW
Momo: “I want to put what I’ve learned to the test. I want you to fight me.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLga50unnM
Izuku: “Huh!? W-We don’t have to do that.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC5KAXtZ1Q
Momo: “We only have one week left, and I’m… a bit unsure about how I’ll do.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2toZGPDRV
Izuku: “Y-You’ll do fine, Yaoyorozu! Thanks to the training, I’m sure of it!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8LUNx38RX
Momo: “Thank you for believing in me. But I have to be sure how I’ll do against someone with a quirk like yours.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW2psr1imo
Izuku: “… You’re worried about those other psychic-type quirk users?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMkuZGs68C
Momo: “Yes. I’m not saying other students won’t be a problem, but we all know how dangerous someone like you can be, Midoriya. I have to be prepared.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2q2vSyNtN
Izuku: “I-I understand.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDdWoef5yD
Izuku: ‘This… is a good test for me too. This is fine. We’ll be fine.’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KhTBWWMfI
Izuku: “Okay, but where should we do this?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LvdP6ci1I
Momo: “I have the perfect place. Are you okay with your current clothes?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV61Elv8d8
Izuku: “Y-Yes, it’s as good as anything else I have.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9kfunP54M
It’s a casual outfit, similar to the one he wore to the amusement park but without the blue hoodie. Nodding, Momo led Izuku to something incredible.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9sAkOGpAy
Below the mansion was a big white room that had enough space for some training. The problem, however, is-
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKLRLY77eB
Izuku: “You have a training room!? Underground!?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHdPOvciNh
Momo: “Not always. I asked mom and dad to commission one shortly after I entered U.A. I knew I would need a place to practice and train my quirk.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSNjqc4ALD
Izuku: ‘Rich…too rich.’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89Pm428mQM
Momo: “So, are you ready?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbviUKUTfh
Izuku: “Y-Yes, but are you sure? There is no cover; you’re at a disadvantage.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFX4IKvGy1
Momo: “We won’t always have the advantage in hero work, Midoriya.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsriMZnsJt6
Izuku: “R-Right.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcFgdwhsKU
Momo: “Please, don’t hold back too much. Make sure to try and read my mind too. This should challenge you as well.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pt1PvPfMY
Izuku: “… Okay, let’s do this.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFaGZtRS4G
The psychic narrows his eyes, ready to take this seriously. The voices within howl with excitement, for the prince takes his first step.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXDQZaTTrx
Momo: “Great! Now, ready… set-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RaVENVSTY
Before she says go, Momo drops a smoke bomb that unleashes green smoke that quickly spreads throughout the room. When the smoke hit Izuku’s nose, he immediately knew it was knockout gas.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP3180CYNY
Izuku: “Smart, Yaoyorozu. Going for a surprise attack. But this won’t be enough. You’ll have to try harder.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UuEz0wAxg
She doesn’t fall for the provocation; her mind stays quiet. Well, that’s alright. Izuku gently moves his hand, banishing the smoke around him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqS69TedJ3
It was at that point an air cannon slammed into the psychic’s back. Thanks to his training and new ability, it didn’t push him back far.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7ZhHRxEGW
Izuku retaliates by gathering the smoke and firing the condensed wind at where the cannon came from. The sound of destroyed machinery gave part of the strategy away.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ9hS44iWn
Izuku: “Drones again? Still, you made them much faster. Great job, Yaoyorozu!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RLG2Ntkh2
A slight feeling of joy was what allowed Izuku to tilt his head in time to dodge a jab from a staff. He turns around and unleashes a psychic blast that pushes Momo away. But she recovers quickly and skates away back into the smoky mists.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7VhgfuMSy
Before Izuku can give chase, a bomb drops in front of him and explodes in a blinding light. Refusing to be caught off guard, the boy summons a psychic shield to cover his whole body.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcedp8Tn6E8
But that wasn’t enough, as armor-piercing rounds shred the shield and hammer Izuku’s body. Thankfully, these were rubber bullets. But it was enough to force the boy to his knees.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2ft6CqX3W
The next moment, a blast of what felt like glue hit Izuku, sticking him to the ground.
Momo capitalized by sprinting out of the smoke again and placing the tip of the spear against Izuku’s neck.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPZC4GISkE
Momo: “I won. Do you give up?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTXU9UMfpd
Izuku: “… I’m sorry. But no.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4KmO5trfe
His eyes glowed green before a psychic blast sent Momo back into the smoke. Next, Izuku focuses on the sensation of glue on him and uses his new ability to change its atomic structure. What was once glue became water.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLO2yGyJhe
Next, he stomps on the ground to destroy it enough to create debris. Using his psychic powers, he creates a wind and water shield. Unlike his normal psychic shield, this one can attack and defend.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F7SIwjO5H
As proven when he sent a blade of water at the drone hovering above him. There were probably more hidden in the mist, but now he’s ready. Speaking of…
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte4t7koKQB
Izuku: ‘How is the smoke still here? It’s as dense as ever. Is she constantly making it? She can’t keep that up forever.’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeATeEAaiCV
More rubber bullets punch through the smoke, but this time Izuku won’t stay still. No more defensive play.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaekBYJHMfY
He flies up and goes around the room, destroying all the drones he comes across. Their projectiles can’t keep up with his flight speed. That is until he destroyed one that blew up in his face.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqqDXmatvP
The force was strong enough to send him back to earth, one filled with caltrops. Ignoring the pain and torn shirt, Izuku lifts up the caltrops with his quirk and slings them across the room.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpKGFoG91k
The clanging sound suggests a shield, one close by. Izuku shakes his head, trying his hardest to stay awake. He can’t keep all the gas away from his nose and mouth. All while fighting Momo’s many assaults.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I3zmXd9vl
K: “Yes, you can! Stop holding back!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI7jaN1oAY
Izuku: ‘I’m not trying to kill her!’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8SztzZeoK
C: “That is correct. But you’re still too passive, my prince.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSsVKrXM27
K: “And it sickens me to see. Prove yourself a warrior!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrGGRtpRdo
The chance came quickly when Izuku dodged another head blow from Momo’s bo staff.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGalDa46T0
Izuku: ‘Fine!’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMGeCkI9gj
The prince fought down a smile when he coated his hand in iron to block the next attack. Next, he used a tilt of the head to cause the earth beneath to crack and destabilize.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi7BVVlgIY
Momo’s unbalance was Izuku’s opening. He grabbed the staff and destroyed its atomic bonds. Momo’s eyes’ widened, which gave Izuku another opening.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZl8XX2DdI
His eyes flash green, which sent Momo flying back until she hit the wall. Her soft gasp of pain meant she was stunned for a bit.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHOexZ6Iwv
Using this momentum, Izuku grabbed the entirety of the gas in the room and started swirling it around in preparation for a twister. In a panic, Momo got back up and ordered the last few drones to unleash their payloads.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WSt6uW11k
But Izuku predicted this and teleported above Momo. The full payload was unleashed on nothing, while Izuku pulled Momo into his arm, defenseless in the air. Before she can attempt to fight back, he pulled the gas mask off.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7l61Eg5hK
The implication was clear. He can control the gas, and Momo couldn’t handle it as well as Izuku. Checkmate.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa23vTs3tki
Izuku: “Do you give up?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53UoIdW5Gh
Momo: “… Yes.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZin9S1Gzj
The little wisps of smoke stop leaking from Momo’s body. Instead, they reverse their direction. Most of the gas in the room returns to Momo, refueling some of her lost stores of energy.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaSA7Ujwlm
The boy smiles as his battle instincts cool down. Well, not before turning around to destroy the rest of the bombs. As for the remaining gas, he opens the door so it can air out.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdJfI1nUr8
Izuku: “Excuse me.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqahaYvPN0
Momo: “Huh?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms9q1CwhNn
Izuku moves Momo’s body so that he’s bridal carrying her. Afterwards, he flies out of the room and breathes deep the fresh air.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA9pAohzIk
Izuku: “Sorry, I don’t know how much longer I could have handled all that knockout gas.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sMCdMFAHN
Momo: “I understand. You… can let me down.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XLSRPRsra
Izuku: “I-I’m sorry!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGfw6SQz0F
He let her down and noticed her slight blush. The sight was cute enough to catch him off guard and let a thought slip out.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZfyefMEuB
Izuku: “Cute.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVywbHKucFO
Momo: “M-Midoriya?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVjoddfXa9
Izuku: “… I thought that out loud, didn’t I?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4MQd3kWKA
Momo: “Haha, I guess we’re even.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANq7Sg4Seg
Izuku: “I guess.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ejlTqm8Gb
He rubs his head and looks down with a brighter blush than before. That’s when he noticed how shredded his shirt was. His well-defined body was peeking out and giving all who wanted a look a good eyeful.

At this point, his face might as well be a tomato.

Momo: “S-Sorry about your shirt. I-I can make you another one.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGj57QyGSK
Izuku: “… Yes, please.”

Once the wardrobe was dealt with, the two of them went back to the food hall for a meal. It was a bit awkward, though. For Izuku, aside from Kiri, he never was that close to a girl before. Heck, even with Kiri, she never got such an eyeful of his chest before.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG85WaYUsFX
It’s even worse for Momo; she never was this close to a boy before. She still doesn’t know how to feel about it. Before, it was mostly just business or simply hanging out with a new close friend.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lpkoxZXkr
Momo: ‘But being held like that… ’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLer4AsYPkF
She shakes her head; there’s no time for such things. Besides, she has another pressing matter to attend to.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBFisKywLw
Momo: “Midoriya?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyVFKF2dHx
Izuku: “Y-Yes?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTO48feTNO
Momo: “What was that you did during our fight? That staff was still attached to me, so I felt how you… destroyed their atomic bonds. How?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp0TJkigQH
Izuku: “Oh…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBofOYKOa4f
Izuku: ‘Well, it was bound to come up eventually.’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXgREXaoOf
Izuku: “I learned that I can also manipulate things on the atomic level. It takes some focus to do anything besides destruction though.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSZgVIORDJ
Momo: “Wait, if you can do that, then… you basically have my quirk…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKygWxresin
Izuku: “No, no, no! This part of my quirk is not as good as yours! I can’t create things as complex as you.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmH041fix0
C: “Not yet, my prince.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XZg1CRrYO
Izuku: “It’s more for transmutation, manipulation, and destruction than creation.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKnCYqZU07
Momo: “I see… your quirk is truly incredible.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT5pw25BtM
Izuku: “I’m not the only one. You’ve gotten so good at creating things on the fly. I would have been in trouble if you tried any of those sci-fi creations we talked about.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYXqqIyEqD
Momo: “I’m still working on those, and some of them are too lethal.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCLDmRVBT2
Izuku: “Haha, I understand.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfibylQKC9Y
A slightly more comfortable atmosphere descends. After a few moments, Izuku tries to dispel the last of his worries.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViVt5qmP2J
Izuku: “You’re not… scared of it… right? My quirk?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoePFR2LSrM
Momo: “Of course not! In fact, I’m… a bit happy.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV5cfld1uy
Izuku: “R-Really? Why?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu01ruUsAW9
Momo: “Well, this part of your quirk compliments mine perfectly. You could change things I create, even when they’re removed from my body.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhe0VmRhfs
Izuku: “Right! We can make up for each other’s weaknesses.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dkzBKXMmt
Momo: “Like Yin and Yang! Yes, that sounds wonderful.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A8N2gZcqi
Izuku: ‘Haa, that’s a relief.’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u9LJlmRIn
Momo: “We should read some more comics. Maybe together we can create some of the more… unique things we’ve read.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD86jmzagh
Izuku: “R-Right!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNd99GDOWF
The atmosphere was fully restored to a peaceful state, enough to make these two softly smile. Yet, one was not as bright as the other.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRU3n0rdkK
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqOgXeOQwM
Kiri: “So… what’s wrong with me?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDsuBB1EkV
It’s been a while since Kiri visited the Pussycats; it was a long overdue visit. Right now, she was lying on the couch while the rest of the Pussycats were around listening to Kiri’s woes.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2a9uhZowX
But finding a solution is hard when they still find the whole situation crazy. Pixiebob sighs while throwing her head back in frustration.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ77du3ajw
Pixiebob: “Are you telling me we misunderstood your relationship with your… master all this time?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcMamRUuJJ
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS7c6oU2ww
Pixiebob: “… Never mind. It just means you were a few steps behind our expectations.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmLrlfbsC4
Kiri tilts her head cutely at her statement.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwQAgHQBxM
Pixiebob: “Listen, Kiri, there is nothing wrong with you.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL3IsvJd6e
Kiri: “I’m not sick?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mn9N1cVRm
Pixiebob: “No.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX0MO1N8Ty
Ragdoll: “Can she even get sick?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JhLlp3ZuT
Mandalay: “I don’t think so.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYLgMSBKwN
Pixiebob: “Kiri, you’re just jealous of this… ”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J3DOk3icI
Ragdoll: “Hehe, Udders… ”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdl651Vnd7
Mandalay: “Come on, don’t laugh.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyPzxqXmXP
Pixiebob: “Yeah, that individual.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeviJSanYyM
Kiri: “Jealous? How do I stop feeling it? I don’t want to hurt her. At least, I don’t think so.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejjNygnzac
Pixiebob: “Yeah, don’t hurt her. No matter how much you might want to.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UOH8utHFp
Kiri: “Then… how do I stop being jealous?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZzR9Oefig
Pixiebob: “Sadly, you can’t. But there is good news. From what you told us, you have a more intimate relationship with him. He is just blind to your true feelings.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsImvG4rpL
Kiri: “My true feelings?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC8FXS9E4J
Pixiebob: “Kiri, you love your master.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZbI0GZ1w3
Kiri: “Yes, of course I do.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8jnGVmlbF
Pixiebob: “No, Kiri. You love him. Like boyfriend, girlfriend type of love.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsZwC6FANQ
Kiri: “But onii-chan said we shouldn’t be like that. It caused misunderstandings.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V4Z601lSj
Pixiebob: “Right… that…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAsPDJmv0K
The fact she fell for her brother and calls him master…
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uf3cvZkly
Pixiebob: ‘Can this get any crazier? I really should discourage this, but… she is so earnest about her love. How could I possibly refuse her?’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOLFiF6HQA
Pixiebob: “It was a misunderstanding because you two weren’t actually dating. But if you do, then it will be fine.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FQCqRF9Pn
Kiri: “… Really?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCbKM2ANOg
Pixiebob: “Yes.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ0uqquEyp
Kiri: “… So what should I do?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybFdh4PXTc
Pixiebob: “Communication is key. You have to make your feelings known.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWXg7XfGDs
Kiri thinks of how to do that. Izuku already knows she loves him, and they spend almost all of their time together. What else is there?
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1h7y8lMpN
Then she thinks back to that time she brought her lips to his cheek. Her face lights up red as she imagines doing the same thing to his lips.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yNqrEGAUn
Ragdoll: “Awwww! You’re so cute when you blush!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIKeUIunjE
Tiger nods with sagely knowledge alongside the rest of his team.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWVgLvUmZI
Kiri: “Okay… I’ll… do it after the sports festival. I can’t distract him.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWfSE2tb3e
Pixiebob: “Oh, yeah! You’re participating in that soon. What’s your thought on the competition?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Q0O8cfu8
Kiri thinks back to the other psychics in the other class and gives a slight smile.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IlebJNmjQ
Kiri: “A good challenge.”
