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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9PaJPFXIM
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqMmQgtyp4
He wasn’t lying there passively either; he also held her close. The sight was unmistakable.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYoeyIaAuf
Izuku: ‘What have I gotten myself into?’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNkC66IUdV
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5QiIgOMFw
Izuku: “Kiri, it’s time to get up.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqW5Y4lYaP
Kiri: “Nh… five more minutes.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu9YqUV3P3
Izuku: “I know it’s comfortable, but we have school. We can’t be late.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqh8lgtChT
The girl rubbed her head on his chest before turning up toward Izuku with a soft smile.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAow4XWOx4
Kiri: “Good morning.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLX9rwETQI
Izuku: “Good-”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwd9jJIqMO
Before he can finish, Kiri claimed her first kiss of the day.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM95NuiAzb
Izuku: ‘I really should stop the kissing.’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWIGcFZyDV
His body isn’t complaining, though; in fact…
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnRgQKseN2
Kiri: “What’s poking me?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCEhLLXEdk
Izuku: “O-O-O-Okay, t-time to g-get u-up!!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB6zgbfo5I
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvR1t2OZoj
Izuku: ‘It’s like her body is subtly adjusting to her mindset. I swear she didn’t have curves before!’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqoW4xnm2Z
She’s still not on the bombshell level that Momo is at, but that girl isn’t currently in his bed.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1JAQrF2Dg
Kiri: “Onii, what’s wrong?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRde2LvmLeZ
Izuku: “… Kiri, please… just call me Izuku from now on. My mind can’t take much more.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFTJkHNiWF
Kiri: “Nh. You do feel… confused. I’ll stop.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4YgjEp66f
Izuku: “Thank you.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLig9uQgvR
Izuku: ‘Our mental link really has cleared up.’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7NgWv5vnE
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nclGHGnrn
Now, though, it was much clearer.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZp4z9KLeZ
Izuku can feel nothing but love and contentment coming from Kiri. It’s so much that it’s kind of overwhelming.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdPcdeJ0H2
Inko: “Izuku, Kiri, breakfast!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWoxJw3Ej3
Kiri: “Coming.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwCe0cp3zF
Kiri quickly changes, something she now seems okay with doing in his room, and leaves. Izuku, though… starts to panic.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT7pRcNjZH
Izuku: ‘How am I going to explain this to mom!? To Fubuki and Tatsumaki!? To Yaoyorozu!?’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1KRJEBfUx
But it gets so much worse. Other problems start to appear in his head.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrErRTvGB5
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?!’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoxW1cNAAl
Despite all of this and the blushing puddle of nerves he has become, the boy knows he doesn’t regret falling for her.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZs5RBlsIY
Izuku: ‘But that doesn’t help solve the many problems I have.’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxraZ9jwlJS
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmdVbBlDEi
First step, get ready for school.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwElyyLO73D
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SSSEyynP9
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT9VSCI5vO
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWkxlB2Odc
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MijnF7Z6k
The smile, the fuller body, and the aura only another woman can sense.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3N8548IwZ
Inko: ‘They didn’t… ’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhRBKbbqHn
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORLOtnXi2R
Inko: “What’s going on between you two?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM1DVwJFRR
Izuku nearly choked on his food while Kiri continued as normal, unbothered.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1rb9LXhmc
Izuku: “W-W-W-What are you talking about?! N-N-Nothing is going on!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnet9yJuM8k
Inko: “I can tell; a mother knows. It’s okay, sweetie, I won’t judge.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4GuqaVhyv
Seeing that as the okay, Kiri blurts out the truth.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfInvNdtpW
Kiri: “We are-”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJI0eH1LhO
But not before Izuku cups her mouth and decides to make a quick getaway.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkIEGYNQPM
Izuku: “Sorrymomdon’twanttobelategottagobye!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs29aSjLp9
In a flash of green light, the two of them were gone.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nsnJP3dXc
Inko: “… Now I’m worried.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcGgWFBPmZ
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0PvC0CugY
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4jDEmX22D
Izuku: ‘Even the weather agrees with me; it’s pouring!’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e2kZd5Crq
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDtkeV7Akg
That’s why he’s taking the train instead of going straight to school. More time, please.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2QDzw2xa8
“Hey! Aren’t you Tae and Midoriya? From the hero department.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ9JaKQtsA
The two of them turn around to see a forming crowd of ‘fans’.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF68wBvySMv
Izuku: “Y-Yes.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7MVJfgLhM
Kiri: “Nh.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNI16T64f4
“You two were amazing! I can’t believe we’re on the same train as you. The first and third place winners.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YST6WgGuS
Izuku: “Tha-”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZWPDihMT4
“You’re shorter than I expected.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwym1q1oozc
“You two remind me of the good old days.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj24cp4rddl
“Yeah, Tae fought almost just like All Might.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1NBDhNOxN
“And Midoriya is just like his sister.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbShXdfLEKg
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIhW0joQS3
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGXA3cJcjT
Kiri: “Izu… don’t worry.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpLRm1eYds
Izuku: “Kiri, I’m nothing but worries right now. How are you so calm?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHsnw4kySZ
Kiri: “Because I’m sure our family will understand. I don’t really care if Udders doesn’t.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG46FkoSzRi
Izuku: “Of course you wouldn’t. Can you call her something else?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTcEAU8asW
Kiri: “… No.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChHwm3CjXm
The boy sighs and holds his head.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOM9WchHEY
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.’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59yfjz8Thd
Ida: “What are you doing walking so leisurely!? We’re late!! Morning, Midoriya, Tae!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHveFMA7kW
Ida comes zooming by with a raincoat and boots. He’s fully equipped for this weather.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr53nYHwQ5g
Kiri: “Morning.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bonkMREog
Izuku: “Morning. But late? Aren’t we early?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpYizYAP4h
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyPFZaHvey
Izuku: “Twenty!?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5HCLbFATF
Izuku: ‘I’ll always have to teleport if I want to make it!’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh9jkLNMxb
Kiri: “Brother?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH4jFxYYa9
Izuku blinks, and Ida stills.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieGZs9PN6H
Kiri: “You feel-”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjKImVUhnt
Ida: “If you’re worried about my brother, you needn’t be. I’m fine. I’m sorry for causing you all unnecessary concern.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd7WDE1Rij
Ida goes inside while Kiri narrows his eyes.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnVBhj5EsG
Kiri: “He’s not okay.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFCVnzsthA
Izuku: “I figured. But it’s not like we can do anything right now. Just keep an eye on him.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvbnZiVv0P
Kiri: “Nh.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl40zPeAcvU
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcfDxT8rsP
Mina: “So many people talked to me on my way here!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyndmEMdvx2
Kirishima: “Yeah, me too!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYyHDrAfUG
Sero: “I got consoled with the ‘Don’t worry about it!’ call by frickin’ elementary school kids!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrkkH8MRd3
Tsuyu: “Don’t worry about it!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTusPVgEaL4
Sero: “Gah!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwZXpFS0hU
Denki: “Even if we didn’t win, we became the center of attention in just one day. Dude, UA really is amazi-”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsELcNMS3c
The jovial atmosphere of the class dropped when Aizawa came in. Everyone got back to their seats with the quickness.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuREJw0XC9y
Aizawa: “Morning. Today’s hero informatics period is a little special.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV8VdUl6Kf
Kirishima: ‘Don’t let it be heroic-related law or something like that.’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uohKu1Tzn
Denki: ‘Special!? Is it a quiz!? Please, god no…’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0n6O59McF
Aizawa: “It’s time to create your hero names.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpm6gir7zo
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDyaVKfOtg
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnDXrDlXPh
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmtkZkkqV7
Momo: “So, we’ll have to work hard to prove ourselves once picked.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvewAIU9Xu
Aizawa: “That’s right. And here are the totals for those with offers.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY8G4OxJD3
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnkHGmWdNo
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
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafw8GIVxNT
Denki: “Aw man! At the bottom?!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhamk22vRR4
Jiro: “Losing instantly wasn’t a good look. I’m surprised you got one.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAf9IequdF
Denki: “Guh.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvnjavwdxK
Uraraka: “Wow, we got offers! We got offers!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoe1UqrOFK
She says with tears in her eyes while shaking Ida.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq3mn7cZ4o
Ida: “Yes, yes.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYQfV5yBIe
Sero: “But how did Todoroki get more than Midoriya?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCpEJVGWVR
Mina: “Yeah, he lost.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UeJDW5Bxc
Todoroki: “Hm, they’re probably all because of my dad.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaTYs0EBS1
Bakugo: “Tch.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cTR1ynijM
Bakugo: ‘That’s not it.’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYRpvVNyxi
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOrSjRDzGt
Izuku: “I’m just glad I got any.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xKNFOsEHb
Kiri: “Inevitable.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiOhNNrLqL
Denki: “Yeah, this is no time for being humble. You earned it.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45zbT1OOdf
Before Bakugo could argue that point, Aizawa silenced the class once again.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0IjOi9vo8
Aizawa: “Quiet.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqNLi8wy2W
…
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI1Zr36MU4
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0W4RtPY08
Izuku: “So that’s why we’re choosing hero names now.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1xFjBhjVF
Uraraka: “Things are suddenly getting a lot more fun!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VCuZakT3a
Aizawa: “Well, those hero names are still temporary, but if you’re not serious about it-”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdJqVHNRu4
Midnight: “You’ll have hell to pay later!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxi6ELeOLB
Busting through the door like a sane woman, Midnight struts to the front of the class.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhOgfcu0Qj
Midnight: “Because a lot of hero names used by students become recognized by society, and they end up becoming professional hero names!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyiRbDPSDk
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeZ2FczOBP
Sensing two different sets of glares, Izuku shut his eyes. Denki should have done the same.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNjfS7MS0j
Denki: “My eyes!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG0YvI0nCr
Jiro: “My bad, my earjacks slipped.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpdezFFrG8
She says while twirling them.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjEShrlRQG
Denki: “How!?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1REk7mK3sV
Aizawa: “Anyway, that’s how it is. Midnight will be making sure your names are okay. I can’t do stuff like that.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRNPX26JFF
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mtYacccI0
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV4xJPCV3c
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbDN2zOCgY
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ053l26mMSX
Midnight: “Okay, let’s start presenting names starting with those who are ready.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSKhyiyvnF
Kirishima: ‘We’re presenting these!?’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcvmQdGyDh
Sero: ‘Man, that’ll take some nerve…’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoBV4bfUF1
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxqnWWO8AW
Izuku: “Midnight, may we present our names together? I’m pretty sure they’re similar.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX20Sp9rHf
Midnight: “Aw, you two are adorable! Yes, you can. I’m informed of your family situation, so I know why they’ll be similar.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffjvrxtGz6
Nodding, the two go to the front and present their names together.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5sTAzdRHx
Kirishima: “Whoa, epic names!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bO1BwsoUR
Jiro: “It’s on brand too.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRa5kB4Lin
Izuku’s hero name: Aeon of The Firestorm
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YdUiAB8Q1
Kiri’s hero name: Einherjar of The Hurricane
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LyUTRFXIF
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY7F1kf774
Kiri: “Nh.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOoFSruVKj
Denki: “And you did that without using telepathy? Wow, you two are in sync.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3XUyleNyz
Kiri: “Nh. We’re Yin and Yang.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozKYUEVmq6
Momo stiffened when she heard that. She remembered when she compared her and Midoriya to the same concept.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4cqq5VAz2
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewdClQC26M
It was at that moment, that Todoroki’s dadmight theory just expanded. Izuku and Kiri tensing for a split second didn’t help.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQXTPEr1EA
Kiri: “… Yes, I was inspired. She’s cool.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i0764GVUS
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?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdnN81OAPS
Kiri: “… I understand.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSynHwUcRT
Midnight: “Great, your names receive a pass!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pq0FwdCBb
Izuku: “T-Thank you, Midnight.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZpmrQnRxb
As the duo sits back down, Momo feels a tug on her heart. Something was… different between Kiri and Izuku.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMBymxb9kY
Momo: ‘I guess they made up. But why am I… upset? They’re family, nothing more.’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz7Uw2GTLU
But are they? The way they look at each other now…
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FpVLXk3FD
Momo: ‘We haven’t even talked about the kiss. Did it not… mean anything?’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJybScXKBc
She looks at Izuku and then at her hero name.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejfjcKCfNs
Momo: ‘I have to be sure.’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NLFvyBujl
Editing her name, Momo decides to declare her intentions. At least in a subtle way.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNRME6nI5J
While that happened, others went up. Most were accepted; others were not.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbxhStjqCA
Mina: “Che, what’s wrong with Alien Queen?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9rA3uz13F
Midnight: “We’re not looking for a lawsuit.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzUH4cFOWe
Before long, it was Momo’s turn. She went and presented her name while making sure to gauge Izuku’s reaction.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao4hX4Onk1
Momo’s hero name: Creati of The Forge
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngRdY2HM2V
Midnight: “Oh? Taking inspiration, I see.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcJkKaN6z7
Momo: “Yes. I was going to stick to Creati, but after seeing Midoriya’s, I wanted to take the style of his… last name.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrEmIGtLME
Everyone: ‘Why does that sound like a marriage proposal?’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0diyP8Q7OG
Izuku and Momo’s slight blush didn’t go unnoticed.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX5HnhVX0n
Mina: ‘Wanting to take Midoriya’s last name? So bold!’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg2Rq16hRW
Kiri took a deep breath and swallowed the situation.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQpA06iNSV
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… ’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbnNIrD4em
Midnight: “Good! A creative and fitting name!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpH2qYI74I
Momo nods and speeds-walks to her desk. Fortunately, or unfortunately, it was behind Izuku’s desk.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0C6zOJVhs
Momo: ‘Maybe… that was too on the nose.’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFcQ22xo5m
The names kept coming. The only one who failed to come up with one was Bakugo.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpodOFWLPY
Bakugo: “Lord Explosion Murder!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyOM3K7p2o
Everyone: “No!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYomY7xF2LO
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbvbkbGf3S
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?’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv4wRH6Xyt
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu60ZvhGgE
Midnight: “For example, Thirteen would be focused on rescues from accidents and disasters more than fighting villains.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAfOzmAYOp
Aizawa: “Think carefully before you choose.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yLvs0o39z
Everyone: “Yes, sir.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3lJicPc5m
The class was given their offer lists and excitedly looked through them.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyGCRjIjCn
Kirishima: “I want to fight crime in urban areas!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Eyrhc22Ia
Tsuyu: “I hope I can intern at a place with floods. I wonder if there are any?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kyrKmhvFJ
Aizawa: “Turn in your choices before the weekend.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy5jpBE7Bb
Denki: “We get two days?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFuU01kBUD
Aizawa: “Make your decision efficiently. Dismissed.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nYLTyRBx6
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9bIXAh58W
Mina: “Hey guys, have you decided what offer you’re going for?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjM4pjeBIe
Denki: “I’m still looking through the normal pro agencies.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvD0Hc7Q8Y
Jiro: “You don’t want to accept the offer?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY0ZHURKNC
Denki: “Mmmm, I have a feeling they just want to use me for a battery.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4eL68lq9i
Jiro: “Ah, that would make sense.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHdfCOFSCR
Denki: “Darn it!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P7UYU6iQT
Uraraka: “Midoriya, how about you?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cwVzW2VRD
Izuku: “I already decided.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVOCVDljan
Jiro: “Let me guess, one of your sisters?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE167zjAPO9
Izuku: “Yeah, I’m going for Fubuki.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsctML9WH77
Jiro: “Good choice; her agency is one of the best. Is Tae going with you?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ030762ks
Izuku: “Yea-”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef5gIMJGR4
Kiri: “No.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEJJTFIHQW
It took a moment for the words to register before Izuku turned towards her.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanYIFEYmeb
Izuku: “Huh?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoQG18wJVa
Kiri: “Onee can’t help me improve.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva4znIBNFD
Izuku: “T-That does make sense.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61hFlk68ZH
Mina: “You’re already so strong, Tae. Let the rest of us catch up first.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwEXzA6Ung
Kiri: “Must always improve. Villains won’t wait.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXgVPHigFn
Mina: “Haaa, I guess you’re right.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgebSihyiP
Uraraka: “Exactly! That’s why I’m interning with Battle Hero: Gunhead’s agency.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoWxhHiifi
Izuku: “Huh? Gunhead’s a huge battle type! You’re going there, Uraraka?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgH01XWg5k
Uraraka: “Yup! I got an offer from them!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxAQx7YoDK
Izuku: “Really? I thought you were trying to be a hero like Thirteen.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkdFWhpXGa
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!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdKQVFmn9o
Kiri: “Nh. Wise words.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZe1fbaOtP
Mina: “So cool!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgk7BTcCXA
Kirishima: “Hey, you’re going to Gunhead? Me too!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9QoJ8kZAd
Uraraka: “Really?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWYdPkE7zb
Kirishima: “Yeah! He can make me a better fighter and push my hardening to the limit!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfNI1NyaaI
Kiri: “Good choice.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIwCTtX5Me
Kirishima: “Haha, thanks.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCOdeqRtQZ
Izuku: “So Kiri, what offer are you considering?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey0iuTk2EP
He quickly moved the convo along and buried the unjust feeling of jealousy.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1PjwzyDNe
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… ’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFTaqUBqwZ
Kiri: “Hm… Edgeshot.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb70J6wX0PI
Uraraka: “Wow, you got an offer from the number six hero!?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzul4MRw0FT
Izuku: “Why him?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM0Vs0Ysto
Kiri: “…. Seems cool.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8ztd5Byuk
Kirishima: “Hahahaha!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUCrqxlmeY
Izuku: “Seriously?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g6dLToPRu
Kiri: “Ninja skills can help.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBsb5MG3sp
Tokoyami: “Then we’ll be partners.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8ycObbf53
Appearing out of nowhere, Tokoyami appeared within the group.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRW0AFKgrb
Kirishima: “Whoa! Already got the stealth down.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGgOesiDVz
Kiri: “Umbra, want to become a ninja too?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaYH79LSr2
Tokoyami: “Umbra? Hm, I like it. Yes, Edgeshot can teach me much about the shadows.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mN7CbmJZ0
Kiri: “Nh.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRtSFuIWIv
Izuku: “Great… ”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdVTiNzTxX
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtYkkHDDYO
Time passed, and the moment was approaching. He has to confront Yaoyorozu, but that’s not all he plans to do.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL2AolrU2g
Izuku: ‘She may be a good fit for One For All. I should tell Kiri about it first.’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yUXb7kKxo
Izuku: “Kiri, I plan to ask All Might if I can give One For All to Yaoyorozu.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz799Y3wsWg
Kiri nearly tripped when she heard that. Good thing almost everyone was already gone; otherwise, they would have asked about it.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BlTgmuCCV
Kiri: “You tell me this now?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLPz2KpJWY
Izuku: “To be fair, we were distracted yesterday.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1KEBQvtCq
Kiri: “… Valid. But why? Kirishima better.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90QzA2lqA9
Izuku: “It’s related to my theory on her quirk. If I’m correct, One For All would fit her better.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAqzLgCgjX
Kiri: “A theory?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fVGydvkKM
Izuku: “Trust me. This has nothing to do with my… feelings. I do believe she is the right pick.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyJFZNkGHm
Kiri: “… Fine.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKq0mxveGE
In agreement, the two approached Yaoyorozu, who was just about to leave the classroom.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fT85BczZy
Izuku: “Yaoyorozu, wait.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSStzrWDFih
Momo: “Y-Yes, Midoriya. I-I-Is there something wrong?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w4wXdjGwK
Izuku: “No, but I would like for you to meet us in All Might’s office.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZdVelEZ86
Momo: “Uh, why?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMHIz8aw7c
Izuku: “We have something very important to ask of you. And I… have something to say as well.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZg4FxAutH
If it wasn’t Izuku asking, Momo would find this very… questionable. But she knows the boy wouldn’t do anything bad to her.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SvrEJFj4w
Momo: “Okay, I’ll head there right now.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsoIzvHbAS
Izuku: “Great. Thank you for this.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3jVlABlI9
Momo: “Of course.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNJNqUNUPA
As she leaves for the office, Izuku texts the man his plan. Needless to say, he wasn’t happy.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8N0ynif8n
All Might: “You tell me this now?!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHasPjqPfmR
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLUoQtHydS
All Might: “Midoriya… this is something we should discuss first. But I will hear out your reasons when you get here.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfgo2fNr6d
Izuku: “Thank you!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ANn08ho9v
Placing his phone in his pocket, he finally notices something. Kiri is gone.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAhqYaFlQa
Izuku: “Kiri?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfJOxFnlf1
He looks down the hall and sees her walking away.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIr3oygNVi
Izuku: “Kiri, where are you going?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxuqPiGW2f
Kiri: “Home.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3dfbkkdpW
Izuku: “Why?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAJXSJ38QJ
Kiri: “I… don’t want to see it.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq98WysYYR
Izuku: “Ah… I see. I’m sorry.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcmLm5QQPy
She shakes her head.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ5dsClDuF
Kiri: “I understand now. Love is… complicated. I… promise not to kiss you anymore… if you promise not to kiss her.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUkDz9PeOA
Izuku: “I promise… thank you, Kiri.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW9XRSRZ6X
Kiri: “Nh. Only fair.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcU2BwpKYl
He watches her go, and his heart aches at the sight.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjGLVi2Sss
Izuku: “Why must relationships be so confusing? Why can’t I just-”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvuFL2jdNg
He shakes his head and suppresses that side of himself further.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeVq7CGGow
Izuku: ‘It won’t work, and they wouldn’t do it. End of story.’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZOIaUaPkJ
In a flash of green, he was in All Might’s office. He looks around and notices that Momo wasn’t there.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkNWlbdYRB
Izuku: “Phew, she’s not here yet.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVm12oQTZH
All Might was there, though.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU9wDfnuCP
All Might: “Young Midoriya! Have you forgotten how to open doors?!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYeE1v1i5E
Izuku: “S-Sorry! I just wanted to explain why I picked her first.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaqz9CP7ir
The hero sighs and sits on the couch.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I6TtVstbQ
All Might: “Alright, why young Yaoyorozu?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEkswlsEup
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-”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v5OAPsR9A
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?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppucZDS3Sq
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVX0k4EMR5
All Might: “That’s not saying much, young Midoriya.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBIGy57lQu
Just then, Momo came into the room.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZS6vhIWNV
Momo: “Excuse me. You two wanted to see me?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKEXxt1V9s
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0zOngnmU2
As for Momo, she couldn’t help but feel a bit worried seeing these two talk with their eyes like that.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVK6pn65ja
Momo: ‘Don’t tell me I did something wrong… ’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74KOVB8EEt
All Might: “Young Yaoyorozu.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeVljdfIYn
Momo: “Y-Yes!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBibGlClo2
All Might: “What I’m about to say may not leave this room. Understand?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2a8uanABd
Okay, now she’s freaking out.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6ht5KHgD1
Izuku: “It’s okay, Yaoyorozu. It’s nothing bad; it’s just… a lot.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8L7EJ57wx
Momo: “I… am very confused. How do you know this secret, whatever it is, Midoriya?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLOmBNK12U
Izuku: “I found out mostly by accident. If it makes you feel better, my entire family knows.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUnC6bTibP
Momo: “Is it… a family secret?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FUIqBTc0t
Izuku: “No, it’s… more than that.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqvz0RAkkE
Momo: “O-Okay?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfdj8heIDZ
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8puFCTn9K
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSWlnSlAfl
Momo: “A-All Might?!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW27CvNYo8e
Toshinori sighed, his fitted suit hanging limply and ruffled on his skinny frame.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8Dm3e5vWZ
All Might: "Not a pretty sight, is it?"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71qbLU7drE
He laughed, slumping back down on the couch.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFuS3N2y2O
All Might: "About six years ago now, I was involved in a fight with a villain. Japan's deadliest villain, in fact."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDmtnZeCnA
Izuku helped a trembling Momo to the sofa and sat down with her. She hadn't taken her eyes off Toshinori.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXxsTlR1YT
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE93lRLuSUs
Izuku rubbed her back to help her breathe and spoke as well.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XQNR8scxZ
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2C3iq5U6H
All Might: "I'm old now, young Yaoyorozu. Old and injured. I can only use my Quirk for around three hours a day now."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAllLrs77RN
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…
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMuXpwkmlV
Momo: "A-All Might…"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguOnMoa500
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?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI5I8Rszmm
Momo: "I-I thank you for trusting me with this, but… I don't understand why you're telling me any of this. I-"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSQ2CdJQ5p
She trailed off. Toshinori smiled at her, and it wasn't anywhere near as reassuring as his usual smiles.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDxRIfzu18
All Might: "We're getting there. Do you need a moment? Some water or tea?"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlYHUzrjxR
Momo: "N-Not yet. Maybe once we're done, a calming brew would be nice."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu0BBllYwZ
All Might: "Very well. All Might's time is coming to an end."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo69CDWR9HZ
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21WNheKnQn
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADZ4owZ8LQ
Momo grimaces; she wants to believe that, but…
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4Jxgm8laM
All Might: “All Might had to be a natural-born Hero, but the truth is that there was nothing natural about my power."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p8oAJCqVz
Momo: "W-what is that supposed to mean?"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfzfUeEE0z
Izuku: "He means that until he was around our age, he was Quirkless. Like I was…"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgm3oBdpdj
Momo: “R-Really? Do you mean he was a late bloomer or-”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXQryksR5z
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kZwcLYo3D
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXJXkMpne2
Momo: "Oh my god…"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrKHJX01FG
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiKpkruQtj
The action caused Izuku to blush, but he didn’t pull away.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLyThsX9Ei
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1n3nhUShF
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJadmfh92L
Momo thinks back to what Izuku told her during the festival. Enough power to liquefy that monster and nearly burn him alive…
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdi5pAMcN1
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OKR9YR4AH
Momo: “Midoriya… ”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSeyniTQ2l
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a7CnyHCny
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwIXiBYa3O
Momo: “W-W-Wait! You’re not thinking of-”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTm17QGCcp
All Might: “Yes. Young Midoriya has chosen you to inherit One For All.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcU4OAKEDP
Momo: “But why ME?!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkg14PnvB0
Momo yelped at having her crazy theory confirmed.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxXu7Dcu0r
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTz9I0LUvS
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC55EF4YaZm
Momo: “None of us broke. There are others that fit your criteria. I’m not special.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExiHRwnmDE
Izuku: “But you are. No one has all of those qualities along with a serious nature, one that can handle this responsibility.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEBuvA0S8y
Momo: “I don’t know… I don’t feel worthy.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NX6ngqezw
Izuku: “Then become worthy.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexmvD2ZIwj
Momo: “Huh?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpJ1PHATZ2
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MVP0QANHt
Momo: “Midoriya… ”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo3WjlAogp
Izuku: “Trust me, I truly believe you are the best pick. I even think One For All would work best with your quirk.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfyLqDw9RE
Momo: “How so?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14t3cPaL7B
Izuku: “It’s a theory I hope is proven correct when you obtain One For All.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa1nFldtV9
Momo: “And if it isn’t?”

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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yfZTUKNb8
Momo: “I see… that would be nice.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkdaHeAdIl
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFIySv1HAU
Momo felt a pang. She was just a replacement for Izuku, wasn't she? Before more depressing thoughts could emerge, All Might continued.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4IsYv3nM1
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgqAQSC9JL
All Might: "What do you say?"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGCr0VQgGE
Momo: "I…"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetJ5eOCYfy
She took a deep breath to try to collect herself.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI1Ttsr5b3
It wasn't working.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa2dibk3ov
This was too much. This was such an honor, and she still wasn't used to being praised this much.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNedHd55SO
Momo: "I…I think I'd like that tea now."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ew88FJRgO
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nCXt0dzJ8
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTjSvtfdTC
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fqKiZwpCC
After those rounds of questions, she felt she was almost ready to make her decision.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdN8w6RPUm
Momo: “Thank you so much for this opportunity, All Might."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPipH20J2ud
All Might: “You may call me Yagi-sensei or Toshinori when you see me like this, young lady."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jLdDdq6vl
Momo nodded at his words.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHsQ31EhLZ
Momo: “It still astounds me that you think me worthy of inheriting something so vital. But….”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZw7Rqh9dQ
Momo took a deep breath, centering herself with her eyes closed before opening them with fierce determination.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lL1QrFsgr
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!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlL5lWilXr
Izuku and All Might gave her brilliant grins. But she wasn’t done.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuNkaJ9PJT
Momo: "It's a great power you've entrusted me with, but that's not the reason I choose to take it."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosMifnmNdt
They both looked at her with surprise.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bKTLCLXEc
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwdhya9wuT
All Might: "You're not wrong, although I believe you will be right there with him."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ978zuHp2Z7
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S7JNCiU8D
Toshinori grimaced unhappily, but she wasn't wrong.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wJUvowHF6
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8EJWC1mjo
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… "
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEARQ8egjo3
Momo: "And those heroes… "
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXjC1KSxo2
She was uncharacteristically vehement as she recalled the heroes Izuku told her about.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRcgaxJB1z
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!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7No8Fq9AUN
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!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaYdnUUbUV
She stared at him with a determined gaze as she squeezed Izuku's hand tightly.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV93mfJsHh
Momo: "I'm accepting not because I want your power, but because I refuse to let him be alone at the top!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKbiKrAmcz
Izuku's admiration of her turned almost into adoration. He was staring at her as if she were a goddess.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj6l1JhDpZ
Izuku: "Momo…"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ368pd8EF42
Meanwhile, Toshinori was nearly crying.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88l5Sznfs1
All Might: "If any doubts ever existed within me, they were just extinguished."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4rNfTciKD
He smiled in joy as he covered his eyes to keep his tears at bay.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkucBbEDyZU
All Might: "This really is such a great class. You are more than worthy, young lady. You are the right choice."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOeWdAZ26e
Momo: “Thank you for trusting me."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljaS495KPe
Izuku: "Are we doing it now? Is there some sort of ceremony?"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXA08IjlSA
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhrPUNOeKr
Momo blanched. Hard.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlucbvETIj
Momo: “H-How strong do I need to be? Is… lifting cannons enough?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5TptgfwkN
…
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuERXmuVjsR
Izuku: “You can do that?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp66zxg6g3
Momo: “Of course. Do you remember the canon I used in the entrance’s exam?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtRErLCNgi
Izuku: “Yes…?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmympLlve0
Momo: “I wouldn’t be very effective with it if I couldn’t move it if needed. So I can lift it.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEskMBP9acC
Izuku: “Wow.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx86rtVT1Z0
He couldn’t help but scan her body.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOr3pqGUHE
Izuku: ‘Where is she hiding all that muscle?’
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeQPFz9gsE
Sensing his gaze, Momo covered her chest while looking away with a blush.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcESnjBlBGu
Momo: “Don’t stare so hard.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7UQmrdAtt
Izuku: “S-S-Sorry!!”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyO6HYhKPl
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNbzyyrJno
He said with an All Might smile, flexing his right arm and making his suit creak audibly.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRku2Sjf82
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBFXbT6hIy
Izuku: “Whoa…”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaxM3mKhFs
All Might: “Ahahaha!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB8EePVmXe
Reaching up to his head, All Might plucked off a hair strand.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymVypGi1uI
All Might: “Indeed? Well, that makes this significantly easier. Now, eat this!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0kZqQQ7uL
Izuku & Momo: “…huh?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj8n6UzXkk
All Might: "The transfer works off of DNA. I figured this was the least nasty thing."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbqXhKHuKw
Izuku: “It's nothing like I thought it would be!"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JBLFnz1Kq
Momo: “Can't we just do a blood transfusion?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyIR06DzPu
They both ask with equally grossed-out expressions.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxsIAZ6F2o
All Might: "Dangerous. The transference might happen too quickly like that, without giving your body time to get used to it.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWax2qT2I2
Momo: “Oh bother. Well… here it goes.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMR5xrCa8s
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHoQEC3cGw
Momo: “Eurgh, that feels weird."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUL5y3UMlc
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.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJOikM53Mt
The two get up and give a bow to All Might before leaving.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYTXuHsaNk
All Might: “Those two will do great.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nrzuMV6bf
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd2YmePptn
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SuGbmDjOw
Momo: “Thank you again for this opportunity.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD67XQ4npo
Izuku: “N-No problem.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1PzLwI7ox
…
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lxxyz5WZC
…
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyIfzxuARn
Momo: “About the kiss, I’m sorry again. If you don’t feel the same way-”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyRxw8Okue
Izuku: “A-Are you saying you feel the same way?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB2WWtZljB
Momo: “S-Same? So-”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a7aQvEnHj
Izuku: “Well… yeah. Yaoyorozu, I do like you.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TDPDpVxd6
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91vbqp9EMd
The two stop and look at each other. That’s when Momo noticed something was wrong.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN07DfKFJXS
Momo: “W-What’s wrong?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzAV6ddFpz
Izuku: “Yaoyorozu, I really do like you.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT89jth7xJ
Momo: “… There’s a but coming.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxPOowNrm0
Izuku: “There’s something… you should know.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH12tSb8oCU
It took all he had, but he explained it.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjqrGwj0PH
The truth about Kiri and his feelings for her.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4ANcbWMYt
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNR40i1sFI
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7B3unPyBb
Izuku: “Y-Yaoyorozu?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Aj6X5FUK
Momo: “I-I’m sorry. I just… need some time. I-I’ll see you tomorrow.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qHAUDTsrI
He didn’t stop her. How could he? This whole situation is messed up.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvftf997rKm
Izuku: “I’m sorry.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDBeli2XOq
A flash of green later, Izuku was gone.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngjrrFDasa
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9fvK7Z8lc
That night, Momo stared up at her ceiling while lying on her bed. Her hair was down and spread across the silk covers.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdkjJdWIb2
She couldn’t sleep.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGgOsuTZJY
Her mind was a wreck.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADQshS3UnU
Momo: “A mental projection, person, sister, and now potential lover. That’s crazy.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v8sTNW0g1
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjbBtrkNO3
Momo: “Todoroki is cute.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgWoAAO080
She says that, but her heart doesn’t flutter like it does with Izuku. Besides, Todoroki is not really emotionally available like that.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3YF2nKusG
Not like Izuku.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTubnOb9wTV
He can’t match and challenge her intellect.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GHI47QBrD
Not like Izuku.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrd6tXKGbk
He didn’t come for her when she was at her lowest, bringing her back to the surface.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kBpZscclH
Not like Izuku.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsLtgJPUTe
He couldn’t empathize with her insecurities and help her through them.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee6W1cUeQZ
Not like Izuku.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUfMAcVLok
Momo: “Damn it.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO1VOekysW
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nmz45ewSy
Momo: “Yin and Yang. I thought we were like that. But Tae… ”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKe9I8eOVX
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?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNxhj63pxn
Momo: “Why must this be so confusing?”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGNilNtzfi
The poor girl sighs and wishes it was different. But the fact remains, she has fallen for Izuku. He is also still technically available.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTOgWJCkZr
The question is, what will she do now?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaGmqgDq4d
Give him to Kiri? A potentially unhealthy relationship that might not even be real.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsb9l2K9kK
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk37bh8YCxf
The answer? The heart already decided.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MgZFJYDBf
Momo: “I’m sorry, Tae, but I won’t give up. Not yet.”
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUUZhPRDEI
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhGl3iRcnx
At least you’re guaranteed a happy ending, these three becoming a throuple. Unlike those poor sods that read The Quintessential Quintuplets. Ridiculous.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGIoQe9ErW
Thank you, Banfan, for the hero name suggestions! You inspired the current hero names. I hope you all like it.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FyJdnsd3n
Bless me with some reviews. They feed my motivation and can influence how the story goes.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSnTWRyL6A
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEGGglRGkw
Without that, it might not be worth it to include him. If I’m wrong, then comment.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawA5S8K5rE
You really can influence the plot to some degree.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqBLH37W65
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 here152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGXkBp1i1D
