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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ104cjV1Vtf
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQImGC7DLu
He wasn’t lying there passively either; he also held her close. The sight was unmistakable.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPNiAYmI6V
Izuku: ‘What have I gotten myself into?’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88g0OKaDQF
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz16hxPlPV
Izuku: “Kiri, it’s time to get up.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd26KLKJxwU
Kiri: “Nh… five more minutes.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3nHoABFgr
Izuku: “I know it’s comfortable, but we have school. We can’t be late.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7laBR1WB1A
The girl rubbed her head on his chest before turning up toward Izuku with a soft smile.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav6DuGPi42
Kiri: “Good morning.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskWFaeNF8Z
Izuku: “Good-”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLXI12ipr7
Before he can finish, Kiri claimed her first kiss of the day.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIRBbYSohm
Izuku: ‘I really should stop the kissing.’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAB2Vg2eCO
His body isn’t complaining, though; in fact…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffTxfnMoWE
Kiri: “What’s poking me?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHPbsqzcME
Izuku: “O-O-O-Okay, t-time to g-get u-up!!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp2CJ4yU9q
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrJNOBnqeG
Izuku: ‘It’s like her body is subtly adjusting to her mindset. I swear she didn’t have curves before!’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr0iCZYeuA
She’s still not on the bombshell level that Momo is at, but that girl isn’t currently in his bed.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjShzGqPLPP
Kiri: “Onii, what’s wrong?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyEOYR0pfW
Izuku: “… Kiri, please… just call me Izuku from now on. My mind can’t take much more.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfiA3gYuWE
Kiri: “Nh. You do feel… confused. I’ll stop.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxWBGSPMXH
Izuku: “Thank you.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKS3W1DeAW
Izuku: ‘Our mental link really has cleared up.’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjlUG1jq4H
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYI7WpgknP
Now, though, it was much clearer.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DoKwnGz4i
Izuku can feel nothing but love and contentment coming from Kiri. It’s so much that it’s kind of overwhelming.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gNOjbiCla
Inko: “Izuku, Kiri, breakfast!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCGvlYBdI3
Kiri: “Coming.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClW9bDFYCn
Kiri quickly changes, something she now seems okay with doing in his room, and leaves. Izuku, though… starts to panic.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7rjCDeC4C
Izuku: ‘How am I going to explain this to mom!? To Fubuki and Tatsumaki!? To Yaoyorozu!?’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76GKfo2t5o
But it gets so much worse. Other problems start to appear in his head.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RysjDvMn3
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?!’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a1yfyI9TC
Despite all of this and the blushing puddle of nerves he has become, the boy knows he doesn’t regret falling for her.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXef09MznK
Izuku: ‘But that doesn’t help solve the many problems I have.’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVKKaFr8Fv
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELfmumTcqR
First step, get ready for school.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7TQwYilrE
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL11bkc5qI
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hKUCxq8PN
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4iPmhkpm4
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqd9tfuOao
The smile, the fuller body, and the aura only another woman can sense.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc6HMYDTgC
Inko: ‘They didn’t… ’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuuqh0fbbE
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9JOO1Id13
Inko: “What’s going on between you two?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEcdtm2IP0
Izuku nearly choked on his food while Kiri continued as normal, unbothered.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXjnpsYx9o
Izuku: “W-W-W-What are you talking about?! N-N-Nothing is going on!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6PfvVgm6k
Inko: “I can tell; a mother knows. It’s okay, sweetie, I won’t judge.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB9isTdOl2
Seeing that as the okay, Kiri blurts out the truth.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8So00g38AB
Kiri: “We are-”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHZYPkLxid
But not before Izuku cups her mouth and decides to make a quick getaway.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmwo7ATpyn
Izuku: “Sorrymomdon’twanttobelategottagobye!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFUzjRt85y
In a flash of green light, the two of them were gone.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rWSrBOjEA
Inko: “… Now I’m worried.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV0Z2VGCuz
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVMoDdeQhX
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82UsTkFdiV
Izuku: ‘Even the weather agrees with me; it’s pouring!’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiyT6ruCWV
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ex7Q4tiWT
That’s why he’s taking the train instead of going straight to school. More time, please.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzMwHbLf07
“Hey! Aren’t you Tae and Midoriya? From the hero department.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfO1n9ceVw
The two of them turn around to see a forming crowd of ‘fans’.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjfIsD8A7L
Izuku: “Y-Yes.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTa7awcwp0
Kiri: “Nh.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3yHFiWe3W
“You two were amazing! I can’t believe we’re on the same train as you. The first and third place winners.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsG0QXcb5a
Izuku: “Tha-”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDoHwpQpjm
“You’re shorter than I expected.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSwWjCcdSD
“You two remind me of the good old days.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVJq3IHVB8
“Yeah, Tae fought almost just like All Might.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7XSJLfKBO
“And Midoriya is just like his sister.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEpRk3AXNs
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAihlbtyej6
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV9Z194Tcd
Kiri: “Izu… don’t worry.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5y7Aqh1aj
Izuku: “Kiri, I’m nothing but worries right now. How are you so calm?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FcrD6vfe2
Kiri: “Because I’m sure our family will understand. I don’t really care if Udders doesn’t.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHGM4V6I43
Izuku: “Of course you wouldn’t. Can you call her something else?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJK56ZuOIF
Kiri: “… No.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwtEsolK3X
The boy sighs and holds his head.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH7KvnKfpX
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.’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnZXZS5bsD
Ida: “What are you doing walking so leisurely!? We’re late!! Morning, Midoriya, Tae!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80Q4SKydnR
Ida comes zooming by with a raincoat and boots. He’s fully equipped for this weather.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMvSSQAp5D
Kiri: “Morning.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26B8cDag8Z
Izuku: “Morning. But late? Aren’t we early?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyuDI2LO3z
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOkGD4b1Cx
Izuku: “Twenty!?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lLpRlgVAY
Izuku: ‘I’ll always have to teleport if I want to make it!’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EJwMGYCWr
Kiri: “Brother?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Jz475YHM
Izuku blinks, and Ida stills.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc6voLBFRU
Kiri: “You feel-”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyxJJv1SpJ
Ida: “If you’re worried about my brother, you needn’t be. I’m fine. I’m sorry for causing you all unnecessary concern.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgsQ3bniGb
Ida goes inside while Kiri narrows his eyes.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4kvJqk8HC
Kiri: “He’s not okay.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyptMOe847E
Izuku: “I figured. But it’s not like we can do anything right now. Just keep an eye on him.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNZmYsQwVV
Kiri: “Nh.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmJ2N5Fg64
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEcB3ZU7ik
Mina: “So many people talked to me on my way here!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZJKYv64Ts
Kirishima: “Yeah, me too!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoNmYZOv5T
Sero: “I got consoled with the ‘Don’t worry about it!’ call by frickin’ elementary school kids!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Mo0S5QuM
Tsuyu: “Don’t worry about it!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPyCCaycx4
Sero: “Gah!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCHpQp3E6O
Denki: “Even if we didn’t win, we became the center of attention in just one day. Dude, UA really is amazi-”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImS8ZKHLZx
The jovial atmosphere of the class dropped when Aizawa came in. Everyone got back to their seats with the quickness.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBxjt3ud7p
Aizawa: “Morning. Today’s hero informatics period is a little special.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aHFR4wSQF
Kirishima: ‘Don’t let it be heroic-related law or something like that.’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcljP5zERS
Denki: ‘Special!? Is it a quiz!? Please, god no…’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM1OHb330z
Aizawa: “It’s time to create your hero names.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI1s1vIbhs
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp6xD0hiPV
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ757CVWxTXa
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yB61niIbq
Momo: “So, we’ll have to work hard to prove ourselves once picked.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuBz3ic3Mq
Aizawa: “That’s right. And here are the totals for those with offers.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRImUGCx5cb
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeLPX0WsZA
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
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7nx82UPfQ
Denki: “Aw man! At the bottom?!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijCQeNJ8vB
Jiro: “Losing instantly wasn’t a good look. I’m surprised you got one.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNlQa7hZE2
Denki: “Guh.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kulm45BL5
Uraraka: “Wow, we got offers! We got offers!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJumgn0tEQK
She says with tears in her eyes while shaking Ida.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbwlxhKyr0
Ida: “Yes, yes.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8Gm0tugqz
Sero: “But how did Todoroki get more than Midoriya?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXUS75Cu9g
Mina: “Yeah, he lost.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0duwIdmkO
Todoroki: “Hm, they’re probably all because of my dad.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ommNq97Kp
Bakugo: “Tch.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk54uronGqE
Bakugo: ‘That’s not it.’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L6ZuMMit5
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimT0DukCp0
Izuku: “I’m just glad I got any.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTAx4qXsEO
Kiri: “Inevitable.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdeuUwsxMX
Denki: “Yeah, this is no time for being humble. You earned it.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibaNk1No0s
Before Bakugo could argue that point, Aizawa silenced the class once again.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeJGPAQZ5Z
Aizawa: “Quiet.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6wPdDRuI4
…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwUb7aHIsh
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIau3APtQfn
Izuku: “So that’s why we’re choosing hero names now.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyPc58pFC2
Uraraka: “Things are suddenly getting a lot more fun!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoMBUPc5Mz
Aizawa: “Well, those hero names are still temporary, but if you’re not serious about it-”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkvWg85ouL
Midnight: “You’ll have hell to pay later!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW2odVaVZ1
Busting through the door like a sane woman, Midnight struts to the front of the class.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPhv5Y3obf
Midnight: “Because a lot of hero names used by students become recognized by society, and they end up becoming professional hero names!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIJ8CZxmhP
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZF0PUPbtQ
Sensing two different sets of glares, Izuku shut his eyes. Denki should have done the same.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3iBKpQmVY
Denki: “My eyes!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4XqysZqdW
Jiro: “My bad, my earjacks slipped.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgvntXyVJe
She says while twirling them.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhDkHaamHn
Denki: “How!?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZYOGRBtvd
Aizawa: “Anyway, that’s how it is. Midnight will be making sure your names are okay. I can’t do stuff like that.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYe6TJKzZA
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd7GCkcdg6
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPklmxfPny3
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdG3mMFqpA
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXOxOeo22F
Midnight: “Okay, let’s start presenting names starting with those who are ready.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5M5rZr14C
Kirishima: ‘We’re presenting these!?’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimDJndGk9o
Sero: ‘Man, that’ll take some nerve…’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWdJGQgRYW
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Galj5SHyp
Izuku: “Midnight, may we present our names together? I’m pretty sure they’re similar.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwKQtwzP9W
Midnight: “Aw, you two are adorable! Yes, you can. I’m informed of your family situation, so I know why they’ll be similar.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXuhZSBQXj
Nodding, the two go to the front and present their names together.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK7hoLsdXX
Kirishima: “Whoa, epic names!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBmFsJvJbw
Jiro: “It’s on brand too.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggZ2h6TFf3
Izuku’s hero name: Aeon of The Firestorm
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKfcqyjFSd
Kiri’s hero name: Einherjar of The Hurricane
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrFUd7glHP
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB586PrLXXd
Kiri: “Nh.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsuamQm3Lk
Denki: “And you did that without using telepathy? Wow, you two are in sync.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2OQ7TQAH9
Kiri: “Nh. We’re Yin and Yang.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGX51kgdf3
Momo stiffened when she heard that. She remembered when she compared her and Midoriya to the same concept.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLAb9hfFdg
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyyFbB0qrt
It was at that moment, that Todoroki’s dadmight theory just expanded. Izuku and Kiri tensing for a split second didn’t help.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtAVEAHOfU
Kiri: “… Yes, I was inspired. She’s cool.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiBD8HkDdb
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?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5E3GbHK3Y
Kiri: “… I understand.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzKelqTC2o
Midnight: “Great, your names receive a pass!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUBbeTIzUF
Izuku: “T-Thank you, Midnight.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbGyYcnhF8
As the duo sits back down, Momo feels a tug on her heart. Something was… different between Kiri and Izuku.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm2RPcFBUz
Momo: ‘I guess they made up. But why am I… upset? They’re family, nothing more.’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFgmd2F5NO
But are they? The way they look at each other now…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8sJOnBeN0
Momo: ‘We haven’t even talked about the kiss. Did it not… mean anything?’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLEcLWwWMQ
She looks at Izuku and then at her hero name.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AmcsIXR2d
Momo: ‘I have to be sure.’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKObeYSSuHC
Editing her name, Momo decides to declare her intentions. At least in a subtle way.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvYHBqMB7G
While that happened, others went up. Most were accepted; others were not.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkgTqcAj11
Mina: “Che, what’s wrong with Alien Queen?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzZ9on2u74
Midnight: “We’re not looking for a lawsuit.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw0doZV4a9
Before long, it was Momo’s turn. She went and presented her name while making sure to gauge Izuku’s reaction.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgWzXkJB9X
Momo’s hero name: Creati of The Forge
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOfzfkiKbd
Midnight: “Oh? Taking inspiration, I see.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBGwHGwWib
Momo: “Yes. I was going to stick to Creati, but after seeing Midoriya’s, I wanted to take the style of his… last name.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe2hqGgEp1
Everyone: ‘Why does that sound like a marriage proposal?’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp0qBwHjuX
Izuku and Momo’s slight blush didn’t go unnoticed.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyHlWGfbat
Mina: ‘Wanting to take Midoriya’s last name? So bold!’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNQpTDtj7r
Kiri took a deep breath and swallowed the situation.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyUWdUrxLR
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… ’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzCWd1ym1J
Midnight: “Good! A creative and fitting name!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkL8qHW0Lk
Momo nods and speeds-walks to her desk. Fortunately, or unfortunately, it was behind Izuku’s desk.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWHVJP1QCq
Momo: ‘Maybe… that was too on the nose.’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY85ND6XAgU
The names kept coming. The only one who failed to come up with one was Bakugo.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kivqyFrE2
Bakugo: “Lord Explosion Murder!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0cA6u1bgL
Everyone: “No!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2kxQqTsRU
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZWFkJzkpL
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?’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLebWk2Dzj
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WQSSvQcMT
Midnight: “For example, Thirteen would be focused on rescues from accidents and disasters more than fighting villains.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xa9LrzsYo
Aizawa: “Think carefully before you choose.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEBLDMPIhs
Everyone: “Yes, sir.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEMuYKzhPe
The class was given their offer lists and excitedly looked through them.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gshsww7st
Kirishima: “I want to fight crime in urban areas!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnMleETIsL
Tsuyu: “I hope I can intern at a place with floods. I wonder if there are any?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipSnlTUocH
Aizawa: “Turn in your choices before the weekend.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNDVzuc7KB
Denki: “We get two days?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU09XvMIosD
Aizawa: “Make your decision efficiently. Dismissed.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbTMyAM7zL
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevwzCuCKMG
Mina: “Hey guys, have you decided what offer you’re going for?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hGmztR1ZO
Denki: “I’m still looking through the normal pro agencies.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEhvKPcO39
Jiro: “You don’t want to accept the offer?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLfwzX7n69
Denki: “Mmmm, I have a feeling they just want to use me for a battery.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA8ihtERX3
Jiro: “Ah, that would make sense.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaYLVTA34T
Denki: “Darn it!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNghWBPeeCN
Uraraka: “Midoriya, how about you?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ059CbhWeKp
Izuku: “I already decided.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WGZydPzM2
Jiro: “Let me guess, one of your sisters?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDGK4m2gg0
Izuku: “Yeah, I’m going for Fubuki.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbYoneJsH9
Jiro: “Good choice; her agency is one of the best. Is Tae going with you?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAWzhZxh37
Izuku: “Yea-”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pxkoMnD18
Kiri: “No.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYkJNJGHjZ
It took a moment for the words to register before Izuku turned towards her.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJOXrZBv1H
Izuku: “Huh?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LXZgUfIB2
Kiri: “Onee can’t help me improve.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7q547Y9p7
Izuku: “T-That does make sense.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7agPEmnMzo
Mina: “You’re already so strong, Tae. Let the rest of us catch up first.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AmgxnHNIa
Kiri: “Must always improve. Villains won’t wait.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgn6A7LSPy
Mina: “Haaa, I guess you’re right.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNahLZv6rJX
Uraraka: “Exactly! That’s why I’m interning with Battle Hero: Gunhead’s agency.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte3BmeW1Kg
Izuku: “Huh? Gunhead’s a huge battle type! You’re going there, Uraraka?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0ebl9r59B
Uraraka: “Yup! I got an offer from them!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKU2flNLci
Izuku: “Really? I thought you were trying to be a hero like Thirteen.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoKjRo0DkZ
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!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSage5FFT7
Kiri: “Nh. Wise words.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5zfqflKxF
Mina: “So cool!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJjpqLt3l3
Kirishima: “Hey, you’re going to Gunhead? Me too!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcECgTZDrQ
Uraraka: “Really?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIuZgjlrvQ
Kirishima: “Yeah! He can make me a better fighter and push my hardening to the limit!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHskadR5yAd
Kiri: “Good choice.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxkHYLpQnl
Kirishima: “Haha, thanks.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDPxDpyTL9
Izuku: “So Kiri, what offer are you considering?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn37emwrNT1
He quickly moved the convo along and buried the unjust feeling of jealousy.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHDfXEbIUC
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… ’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WnG3raMZS
Kiri: “Hm… Edgeshot.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VsnqlxC0a
Uraraka: “Wow, you got an offer from the number six hero!?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchJxzV2P2t
Izuku: “Why him?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexacUm1ndG
Kiri: “…. Seems cool.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz9RrXlzSw
Kirishima: “Hahahaha!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddyIjpZiEb
Izuku: “Seriously?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5HD7sdOhM
Kiri: “Ninja skills can help.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF18ETPm19
Tokoyami: “Then we’ll be partners.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojDEalHF1q
Appearing out of nowhere, Tokoyami appeared within the group.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYNAEUIiou
Kirishima: “Whoa! Already got the stealth down.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPOv9QOfjr
Kiri: “Umbra, want to become a ninja too?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdunT3crSqn
Tokoyami: “Umbra? Hm, I like it. Yes, Edgeshot can teach me much about the shadows.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmWLKN9PJ9
Kiri: “Nh.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8u1wryh1d
Izuku: “Great… ”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbJKsGZjoL
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOawqSk700Q
Time passed, and the moment was approaching. He has to confront Yaoyorozu, but that’s not all he plans to do.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V1iXmwfSO
Izuku: ‘She may be a good fit for One For All. I should tell Kiri about it first.’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRoZ2sgWdM
Izuku: “Kiri, I plan to ask All Might if I can give One For All to Yaoyorozu.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovtXYf8V0m
Kiri nearly tripped when she heard that. Good thing almost everyone was already gone; otherwise, they would have asked about it.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDYXGDKRej
Kiri: “You tell me this now?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVC6PQVfh0
Izuku: “To be fair, we were distracted yesterday.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3XienyoIx
Kiri: “… Valid. But why? Kirishima better.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiOVrgVr6Z
Izuku: “It’s related to my theory on her quirk. If I’m correct, One For All would fit her better.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hYi0RFJLv
Kiri: “A theory?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb2zXQHKtS
Izuku: “Trust me. This has nothing to do with my… feelings. I do believe she is the right pick.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8ReBZ7mmA
Kiri: “… Fine.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvSzxImeFK
In agreement, the two approached Yaoyorozu, who was just about to leave the classroom.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9wRcASv7w
Izuku: “Yaoyorozu, wait.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67D0maI4Zc
Momo: “Y-Yes, Midoriya. I-I-Is there something wrong?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXFRz0HIyW
Izuku: “No, but I would like for you to meet us in All Might’s office.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ydtYWoiSX
Momo: “Uh, why?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQKi3mJIZf
Izuku: “We have something very important to ask of you. And I… have something to say as well.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKagtStQ1Ck
If it wasn’t Izuku asking, Momo would find this very… questionable. But she knows the boy wouldn’t do anything bad to her.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yrvsIs2qR
Momo: “Okay, I’ll head there right now.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOFTql5Q6x
Izuku: “Great. Thank you for this.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw1WWlS2P2
Momo: “Of course.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRrU9F8FZl
As she leaves for the office, Izuku texts the man his plan. Needless to say, he wasn’t happy.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMILLaaKs6E
All Might: “You tell me this now?!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobTIGLRE7f
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAqMrSKoLn
All Might: “Midoriya… this is something we should discuss first. But I will hear out your reasons when you get here.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V0xY8FTx4
Izuku: “Thank you!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwnN6qilvc
Placing his phone in his pocket, he finally notices something. Kiri is gone.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GUnSRcPmK
Izuku: “Kiri?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFtA25oNyn
He looks down the hall and sees her walking away.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8wyr0HfCq
Izuku: “Kiri, where are you going?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqZhZefFzX
Kiri: “Home.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcLaFHYZ9r
Izuku: “Why?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu89QfEfcOJ
Kiri: “I… don’t want to see it.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6HxxBOjZ2
Izuku: “Ah… I see. I’m sorry.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeEt3FOB9S
She shakes her head.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H99eFJBBb
Kiri: “I understand now. Love is… complicated. I… promise not to kiss you anymore… if you promise not to kiss her.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eOXaxjlrp
Izuku: “I promise… thank you, Kiri.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvnHV1W0Ct
Kiri: “Nh. Only fair.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSKmIIxOYr
He watches her go, and his heart aches at the sight.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNCbZdRyuN
Izuku: “Why must relationships be so confusing? Why can’t I just-”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OYjcAIiab
He shakes his head and suppresses that side of himself further.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QmPp5WbUI
Izuku: ‘It won’t work, and they wouldn’t do it. End of story.’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqDIpCMLfJ
In a flash of green, he was in All Might’s office. He looks around and notices that Momo wasn’t there.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlKvKhj9Ex
Izuku: “Phew, she’s not here yet.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuXqJBoS1T
All Might was there, though.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IC49c9osu
All Might: “Young Midoriya! Have you forgotten how to open doors?!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPWIaLeJo4
Izuku: “S-Sorry! I just wanted to explain why I picked her first.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJnlWzBBRv
The hero sighs and sits on the couch.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXVqDnJTEy
All Might: “Alright, why young Yaoyorozu?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCB99jhJ3C
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-”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbCNDltxwT
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?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiGmGa72Fe
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNlzGKWoaU
All Might: “That’s not saying much, young Midoriya.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOJCuqQ9KX
Just then, Momo came into the room.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe7kRPPgMk
Momo: “Excuse me. You two wanted to see me?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxyJ3gvNq7
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUniFa3NVCK
As for Momo, she couldn’t help but feel a bit worried seeing these two talk with their eyes like that.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliz02KLgNI
Momo: ‘Don’t tell me I did something wrong… ’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eqxEJBYRT
All Might: “Young Yaoyorozu.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd8ffUe5I1
Momo: “Y-Yes!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa2vdgG2gM
All Might: “What I’m about to say may not leave this room. Understand?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9mPszWJtR
Okay, now she’s freaking out.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMFHAdqyPf
Izuku: “It’s okay, Yaoyorozu. It’s nothing bad; it’s just… a lot.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbreNbNpD5X
Momo: “I… am very confused. How do you know this secret, whatever it is, Midoriya?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoiy7jMYRD
Izuku: “I found out mostly by accident. If it makes you feel better, my entire family knows.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIWdJqFbqw
Momo: “Is it… a family secret?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF6Sm9VXPb
Izuku: “No, it’s… more than that.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHFXSgbDeO
Momo: “O-Okay?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1phiE8vIC
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvr8OqNfQt
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokrFpKJ3Gm
Momo: “A-All Might?!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nJUWXf4RF
Toshinori sighed, his fitted suit hanging limply and ruffled on his skinny frame.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr0YntojG6
All Might: "Not a pretty sight, is it?"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewvC8eNcRu
He laughed, slumping back down on the couch.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAC0Zl0uqM
All Might: "About six years ago now, I was involved in a fight with a villain. Japan's deadliest villain, in fact."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFoNKXgUWn
Izuku helped a trembling Momo to the sofa and sat down with her. She hadn't taken her eyes off Toshinori.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2e1MjpISp
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc35pWHRUmj
Izuku rubbed her back to help her breathe and spoke as well.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5uJeBisRz
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WmRhyC3id
All Might: "I'm old now, young Yaoyorozu. Old and injured. I can only use my Quirk for around three hours a day now."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmECcPucT1p
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…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCK71ObxLY
Momo: "A-All Might…"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHN0SRyR4U
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?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOwUwjhM0V
Momo: "I-I thank you for trusting me with this, but… I don't understand why you're telling me any of this. I-"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTxjMwoHKK
She trailed off. Toshinori smiled at her, and it wasn't anywhere near as reassuring as his usual smiles.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86vTSIbOUS
All Might: "We're getting there. Do you need a moment? Some water or tea?"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLDfjMhKOZ
Momo: "N-Not yet. Maybe once we're done, a calming brew would be nice."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhLYwMq79L
All Might: "Very well. All Might's time is coming to an end."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF13jjhW9PC
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS4BPwM5Rd
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP02kQ7XM24
Momo grimaces; she wants to believe that, but…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhECF9NfTU
All Might: “All Might had to be a natural-born Hero, but the truth is that there was nothing natural about my power."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F77FLQqnp
Momo: "W-what is that supposed to mean?"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAEpvLgCEw
Izuku: "He means that until he was around our age, he was Quirkless. Like I was…"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlnqIJYYZ2
Momo: “R-Really? Do you mean he was a late bloomer or-”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK01sLnDXyW
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rM7vEPNF7
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZGmtyWSd0
Momo: "Oh my god…"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06wJ4Rqyai
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILOBjrcRK2
The action caused Izuku to blush, but he didn’t pull away.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcJHhmneoD
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7eKjXsu5q
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoszMMwZee
Momo thinks back to what Izuku told her during the festival. Enough power to liquefy that monster and nearly burn him alive…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogQUniOZV4
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkil1iK1lHq
Momo: “Midoriya… ”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEZSdDHZBN
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc8UDAGT2G
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEEYA44Un8
Momo: “W-W-Wait! You’re not thinking of-”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHnm72nzoo
All Might: “Yes. Young Midoriya has chosen you to inherit One For All.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBWHOfvGsz
Momo: “But why ME?!"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedezkgaCyz
Momo yelped at having her crazy theory confirmed.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj8MHXrAKs
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhumCfFtF74
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQO06Elm4d
Momo: “None of us broke. There are others that fit your criteria. I’m not special.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjXRKpEqgx
Izuku: “But you are. No one has all of those qualities along with a serious nature, one that can handle this responsibility.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8x1YWbeM4
Momo: “I don’t know… I don’t feel worthy.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw86rJ5gjG
Izuku: “Then become worthy.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvlHZF1h4a
Momo: “Huh?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEZvzHIMBs
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDbgShebJK
Momo: “Midoriya… ”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHx5wN1w6X
Izuku: “Trust me, I truly believe you are the best pick. I even think One For All would work best with your quirk.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGOSAulDfI
Momo: “How so?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35oDXgjyLl
Izuku: “It’s a theory I hope is proven correct when you obtain One For All.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ054u8KyCIr
Momo: “And if it isn’t?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6YrDwggQ1
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoErkSVCVau
Momo: “I see… that would be nice.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOubjenpcE
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNs8IG72On
Momo felt a pang. She was just a replacement for Izuku, wasn't she? Before more depressing thoughts could emerge, All Might continued.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy5maP3DVl
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUdV85Ydn5
All Might: "What do you say?"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzJBSQrjVm
Momo: "I…"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLSLWOVmNx
She took a deep breath to try to collect herself.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPp8hWYvcy
It wasn't working.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnceeyF8FQ
This was too much. This was such an honor, and she still wasn't used to being praised this much.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg37JjTTwL
Momo: "I…I think I'd like that tea now."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZw6l0baQp
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEVtWEAJPI
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zGnALSGkA
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9efEkBRtG
After those rounds of questions, she felt she was almost ready to make her decision.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jIzc4ZF9M
Momo: “Thank you so much for this opportunity, All Might."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqpXnqmKQc
All Might: “You may call me Yagi-sensei or Toshinori when you see me like this, young lady."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ203DZGCSkX
Momo nodded at his words.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgxnxnOMCy
Momo: “It still astounds me that you think me worthy of inheriting something so vital. But….”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEfOzNWVdg
Momo took a deep breath, centering herself with her eyes closed before opening them with fierce determination.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsehida9l19
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!"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNDdRvJeul
Izuku and All Might gave her brilliant grins. But she wasn’t done.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rGiu7sAlL
Momo: "It's a great power you've entrusted me with, but that's not the reason I choose to take it."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb8d9CYQoU
They both looked at her with surprise.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiE64YX5Lb
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF1MRvgjht
All Might: "You're not wrong, although I believe you will be right there with him."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b4FjJORVG
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZYyuXq4z7
Toshinori grimaced unhappily, but she wasn't wrong.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSdUYVGvNb
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ilALpxCc
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… "
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqhikEVORq
Momo: "And those heroes… "
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkldQL1RAxE
She was uncharacteristically vehement as she recalled the heroes Izuku told her about.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQHsuwDEEC
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!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBE0ROmdSb
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!"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdt0fOSgrq
She stared at him with a determined gaze as she squeezed Izuku's hand tightly.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXvJeEc9jS
Momo: "I'm accepting not because I want your power, but because I refuse to let him be alone at the top!"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxpa3zXFWz
Izuku's admiration of her turned almost into adoration. He was staring at her as if she were a goddess.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQPff6S6J4
Izuku: "Momo…"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlALa8pL1S
Meanwhile, Toshinori was nearly crying.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA0IzCz265
All Might: "If any doubts ever existed within me, they were just extinguished."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIObUmciWW
He smiled in joy as he covered his eyes to keep his tears at bay.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNHQDy3wqi
All Might: "This really is such a great class. You are more than worthy, young lady. You are the right choice."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSGgtlKMf1
Momo: “Thank you for trusting me."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaLrOAlnXd
Izuku: "Are we doing it now? Is there some sort of ceremony?"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC7XzsZV3V
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40uvC1fqo5
Momo blanched. Hard.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VhgBo9m8E
Momo: “H-How strong do I need to be? Is… lifting cannons enough?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcdU1IhnhZ
…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfZ8RXbKFn
Izuku: “You can do that?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLxijo3bfz
Momo: “Of course. Do you remember the canon I used in the entrance’s exam?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfvQWllVgD
Izuku: “Yes…?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWr8l2fAwj
Momo: “I wouldn’t be very effective with it if I couldn’t move it if needed. So I can lift it.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUb8me5ILX
Izuku: “Wow.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxRif19uzV
He couldn’t help but scan her body.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFOUV5hLTd
Izuku: ‘Where is she hiding all that muscle?’
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL3oWFDv5D
Sensing his gaze, Momo covered her chest while looking away with a blush.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLMRH8uVZH
Momo: “Don’t stare so hard.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRkRSMbOpX
Izuku: “S-S-Sorry!!”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5RnyeAnBp
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyJUmzTPyb
He said with an All Might smile, flexing his right arm and making his suit creak audibly.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv5PmXFfv3
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltLP5VH7EJ
Izuku: “Whoa…”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHePMx7wZdB
All Might: “Ahahaha!"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqFw0WhlsH
Reaching up to his head, All Might plucked off a hair strand.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4woMR60kRL
All Might: “Indeed? Well, that makes this significantly easier. Now, eat this!"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuWM7uDAE7
Izuku & Momo: “…huh?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iFvHaMscZ
All Might: "The transfer works off of DNA. I figured this was the least nasty thing."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWIQuMhdCF
Izuku: “It's nothing like I thought it would be!"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnjDYutwpK
Momo: “Can't we just do a blood transfusion?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxSsXl0RcP
They both ask with equally grossed-out expressions.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbgyjIiPea
All Might: "Dangerous. The transference might happen too quickly like that, without giving your body time to get used to it.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jvvCpLhjN
Momo: “Oh bother. Well… here it goes.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRG17yhlpr
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFVdIxmTLl
Momo: “Eurgh, that feels weird."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnLaQLRdeU
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.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWA5mPXMa3
The two get up and give a bow to All Might before leaving.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8gHUO7i2J
All Might: “Those two will do great.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt27QbuMIKS
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISHZx5I3LM
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfdlUn7A3Z
Momo: “Thank you again for this opportunity.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGynFoqjBB
Izuku: “N-No problem.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qRVWeQxbJ
…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpvjuzqjCt
…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wQvC9S6US
Momo: “About the kiss, I’m sorry again. If you don’t feel the same way-”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmiDS0xJW4
Izuku: “A-Are you saying you feel the same way?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu16lj8Jrg
Momo: “S-Same? So-”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQq7ItVcbL
Izuku: “Well… yeah. Yaoyorozu, I do like you.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1bcjq7bSr
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDyjl8kTg8
The two stop and look at each other. That’s when Momo noticed something was wrong.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscJFmsrB5m
Momo: “W-What’s wrong?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz4RghDio8
Izuku: “Yaoyorozu, I really do like you.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDywYBX5YU2
Momo: “… There’s a but coming.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwRQgRrg7f
Izuku: “There’s something… you should know.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4lLEJr4nc
It took all he had, but he explained it.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbdEiwni7E
The truth about Kiri and his feelings for her.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H4F3Hv76S
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufRtrGGcx2
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagYS0kFUIe
Izuku: “Y-Yaoyorozu?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAO8hb7VC7
Momo: “I-I’m sorry. I just… need some time. I-I’ll see you tomorrow.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4UU7M7tWm
He didn’t stop her. How could he? This whole situation is messed up.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWJ5DGj2nW
Izuku: “I’m sorry.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQTNoR4u4M
A flash of green later, Izuku was gone.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KpHsiBMC1
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl5zZ9uONv
That night, Momo stared up at her ceiling while lying on her bed. Her hair was down and spread across the silk covers.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssm1qZRgCA
She couldn’t sleep.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfpTNHNB2h
Her mind was a wreck.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklq7ocbPEG
Momo: “A mental projection, person, sister, and now potential lover. That’s crazy.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1k0Bh2c26
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AvSyRrdl4
Momo: “Todoroki is cute.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05RWKlM7dH
She says that, but her heart doesn’t flutter like it does with Izuku. Besides, Todoroki is not really emotionally available like that.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS69Rupxajc
Not like Izuku.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76ZcmAoTRP
He can’t match and challenge her intellect.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYL3ue3zOc
Not like Izuku.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxFcnI3NbD
He didn’t come for her when she was at her lowest, bringing her back to the surface.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAqiOdttuN
Not like Izuku.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlLrPCTwPE
He couldn’t empathize with her insecurities and help her through them.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LpsZwA1L6
Not like Izuku.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplXEZ9jsa6
Momo: “Damn it.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgS1l1CwlZ
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CIIMuviAI
Momo: “Yin and Yang. I thought we were like that. But Tae… ”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxJ3TFM2ZM
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?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9BIEUvsJV
Momo: “Why must this be so confusing?”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHMgje9L3h
The poor girl sighs and wishes it was different. But the fact remains, she has fallen for Izuku. He is also still technically available.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tH85gmZ6J
The question is, what will she do now?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghcU3beeXq
Give him to Kiri? A potentially unhealthy relationship that might not even be real.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI8hAkilNT
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75ImPP2tEg
The answer? The heart already decided.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XbhAcW9oT
Momo: “I’m sorry, Tae, but I won’t give up. Not yet.”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRwKWuHfVV
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHNHWId6iS
At least you’re guaranteed a happy ending, these three becoming a throuple. Unlike those poor sods that read The Quintessential Quintuplets. Ridiculous.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddFgk75CSS
Thank you, Banfan, for the hero name suggestions! You inspired the current hero names. I hope you all like it.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeazB8hLxtS
Bless me with some reviews. They feed my motivation and can influence how the story goes.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwKojr0nzx
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrclh9kqMwy
Without that, it might not be worth it to include him. If I’m wrong, then comment.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENFNdo8dIQ
You really can influence the plot to some degree.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFttWDa8pc
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 here305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebtBG52oYH
