Izuku gazed out the plane window and thought about how this all happened. It was a surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBjsEISO9r
The tournament finalists got 3 tickets to the artificial moving city inhabited by over 10,000 scientists, I-Island. Right on time for the I-Expo.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOLENrDrRY
Using that as a chance, All Might pulled some strings to get the whole class to join. This way, we’re not separated and can spend some of our suspension doing something fun and/or productive.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO0uobXHce
Izuku: ‘I’m sure someone there will be able to help Ida.’
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HOK4REPTm
While thinking on the past, the boy is distracted by the sound of something exploding across from his seat on the private plane.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJW3L6rEKX
Kaoru: “Can you not do that on a plane, you psycho!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bp0KruwlE
Due to finalists not being able to travel together, the groups had to be divided strategically. Izuku got to stay on a plane with Kaoru Akashi and-
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANqRdJalky
Mei: “You can’t expect me to not work on my babies for hours on end! I’d go crazy!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn0i4O0iSn
Kaoru: “Better crazy than dead!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi934LIBy27
His class wasn’t the only one that was allowed on this trip. Good thing too, despite Hatsume’s eccentricities she is one of the best people to work on a new leg for Ida.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLorLCM9Igq
Izuku smiles at Kaoru hanging over the back of her seat, bantering with the still tinkering Hatsume. It’s a bit of a shame he couldn’t spend time with Kiri or Momo instead.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO0FtZcJr6
But considering his feelings for them, maybe it’s for the best. Especially after what Kiri said before they left.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW1Fjar4Z1
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHCPC1sW39
Inko: “Have fun, you two!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxIkO8Va8x
Their mother hugs Kiri and Izuku, making sure to squeeze enough love to make up for Tatsumaki and Fubuki’s absence.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK7vZvukej
Izuku: “We will, don’t worry.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4q3YmIn1S
Kiri: “Nh.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1nqLbD8Vb
Inko: “It’s been a long time since I’ve been alone at home for a few days. I’ll miss you two.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndF1vQXS5R
Izuku: “We’ll miss you too. And if you get lonely, I’m sure Fubuki or Tatsu will spend time with you.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hdks832HN
Inko: “I hope so… ”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrgNQiI5JX
Before they could worry too much about those two, Inko sent them off. Wouldn’t want them to miss their planes.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwG8aqRdGW
Along the way, the two made some small talk. Most notable being their partners on this trip.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7cCcyL3DZ
Kiri: “Akashi and Hatsume. Two girls… ”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMoFG17LSG
Izuku: “Tokoyami and Kirishima. Two guys.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAARyq1VhGH
Kiri: “Fair.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5TofSpEF2
After a moment to collect her thoughts, Kiri stopped walking to declare her intentions.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGr92TV3AL
Izuku: “Kiri?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7emWs0EZpl
To his surprise, Kiri grabbed his shirt and claimed his lips. Like a woman who hasn’t drunk water in days, Kiri lapped up the pleasure, and Izuku returned in kind. But before they can do more, she backed off and took a breath.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUve0YffX6
Izuku: “W-Why did you-”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnTiQ0eQTO
Kiri: “I don’t know if I was made to love you, to better protect you. But I want to love you. And I choose to.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡympji0hBx1
Izuku: “That means… ”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGWodM5w0m
Kiri: “I’m not giving up. And… ”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvheiOf06e
She whispers the last part in his ear.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbSFdu18tk
Kiri: “I heard what you did with Udders; I want my turn.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7L9ziRlc4
Leaving him to sit in the implications, Kiri bounced away towards her destination.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyVXABuOM0
Izuku: “… Wow.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLQHbUiHh5
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXclChq6B4W
Izuku: “Yeah, it’s for the best. Who knows what would have happened?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJF46sxSdO
“Attention passengers. This plane will soon begin its descent to I-Island.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoKHSuaTw0
Kaoru: “Finally! I think we might have been the last one.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDpPuZqRTz
Mei: “Oooh, I smell a new baby in the making! Making this plane fly faster will be a great challenge!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5kfGobkFW
Kaoru: “Midoriya, make her stop.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDzBi0JhIJ
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE5DHHArfM
The plane soon landed, and the trio exited wearing their hero gear. Well, Kaoru and Izuku did; Mei only needs her inventing clothes.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zzJIUbhlK
Izuku: “Wow, it’s even more beautiful than I thought.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCZxMUKYOD
The mobile island was massive. Despite the imposing walls that surround it, the actual island was gorgeous. There were four different cities, one in the middle, with three others at each point of a surrounding triangle.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mk6Qk1txw
Each city was surrounded by man-made lakes. Finally, near the edges of the inner ring-shaped barriers were dense forests. Truly, an isolated paradise with the styling of a theme park.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo2fgmqdoV
After the trio went through the strict hi-tech customs, they decided to split up.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs8ZltWzbZ
Kaoru: “I’m going to look for Sabrina. Aoi and Shiho should be with her. I won’t get in trouble for flying, will I?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkOQWEdu99
Izuku: “Nope, you can use your quirk freely here.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGlDPvca44
Kaoru: “Sweet! Later, Midoriya.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnlDK8WXuP
As Kaoru flies off, Izuku notices that Hatsume has already wandered off. No doubt to sell her gear to scientists or learn something new from them.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBJjD8LCwS
Izuku: “Well, guess that means I’m on my own.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGRhKEyBtq
Just then, the boy noticed some commotion nearby.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3iH10CUlt
“W-Wait, ALL MIGHT!!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVmL6qhSao
“The number one hero!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUs9QpBmUJ
“We need an interview!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNA4hkI8vV
“Get closer!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkKU4itSvv
The boy sees All Might get swarmed by a bunch of people and reporters.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVqeXqL810
All Might: “AHAHAHAH! Thank you for such a warm welcome! Line up for autographs!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAtRhwHwY1
Izuku smiles at the sight and goes to leave; that is, until he runs into Tsuyu and Ida.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6mmqnhfmN
Izuku: “Gah! Where did you two come from?!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbWsL6BXnJ
Tsuyu: “Escaped before the swarm, kero.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyVuRn05kf
Izuku: “I see.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5panwJrgaE
The boy couldn’t help but notice Ida’s current condition. Right now, he is in a wheelchair being pushed by Tsuyu. His expression is neutral and blank, but despite that, Izuku can see some hope in his eyes. This place is one of the most scientifically advanced areas on the planet; if they can’t help Ida, no one can.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG0myFTUK3
Izuku: “So, do you want to wait together until they’re done?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRotOdRhbKp
Ida: “No choice. All Might knows where our hotel is.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4j8Xve3OV
Tsuyu nods to confirm Ida’s words. Understanding the situation, Izuku waited with the two until All Might was finished. It didn’t take long for the silence to become awkward. Thankfully, Tsuyu did have something she wanted to say. She just needed a moment.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP0lZcYbrV
Tsuyu: “Midoriya?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveaJvt1ywW
Izuku: “Yeah?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcztGdtyK5
Tsuyu: “I… I’m sorry for what I did before… at the amusement park.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWmKZdmuMx
The boy recalls that time so long ago when Tsuyu was filled with fear because of him.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdlz7wZzpJ
Izuku: “O-Oh, it’s fine. It was my fault anyway; I’m… better now.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkEPPB8F5J
She shakes her head.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpJkKlF7Vf
Tsuyu: “It’s not your fault, kero. I didn’t know what came over me.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMvL9uLZiz
Izuku: ‘And you don’t need to know.’
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH72rEeQ87
Ida: “All Might is coming.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m1v6yH7PM
The two refocused on the present as All Might appeared with several lipstick marks.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMK6xoCNXq
All Might: “I didn’t think I’d be stopped that long. Sorry for that.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsDWv2YxOB
Tsuyu: “It’s alright, kero.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOEbuM2oiv
Izuku: “Hi, All Might.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yiKg2wqYE
All Might: “Glad to see you, young Midoriya. Once I’m done with young Ida and checking up with an old friend, I need to speak with you and young Yaoyorozu.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOMCE476gh
The boy should’ve known there would be something happening. He sighs and nods. Before those out of the loop could ask about anything, the group heard a boing sound. Looking up over the nearby stairs, they watch as a blond girl bounces down to them with a pogo stick.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEC2H8cv40
Eventually, she got closer to jump off the stick and into All Might’s waiting arms.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFMHCYOGsr
“Uncle Might!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWjpIrJKDy
All Might: “Melissa! You’ve gotten so big!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lw5Fv3EO7
He says while happily spinning her around.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymyRtfAIsE
Melissa: “It’s been so long! I’m so glad you came!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlnQAdobgz
All Might: “Wouldn’t miss it for the world! But I almost didn’t recognize you.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZCNGqBrJY
Melissa: “Well, I am seventeen now. I’m pretty heavy now, huh?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3ZLxDVaAQ
All Might: “Not at all!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSzutQOeBb
He laughed again while playfully throwing her a little into the air to prove his words. After that, he let her down. Meanwhile, Ida and Izuku sported bewildered looks, shocked at the close relationship. As for Tsuyu, her expression was the same, but you can tell she appreciates the warmth.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAin31SosNo
Melissa: “I’m glad to see you’re well. Sorry I was a bit late. I was really caught up with an experiment and lost track of time.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA4eQeNZBY
All Might: “Oh, it’s not a big deal, Melissa! I was busy getting mobbed, after all. AHAHAHAH!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0j5XQjIWe
The hero turned to Ida and pointed his hand towards him.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRkA8uYCSo
All Might: “Here is young Ida, the one I was telling you about over the phone.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5cCYQQ05x
Melissa: “Oh! Nice to meet you, I’m Melissa Shields. My father is a good friend of All Might.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUMu010zD2
She offers her hand, and he takes it after a while.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONj8jqAk86
Ida: “H-Hello, I’m Tenya Ida. T-Thank you… for trying to help me.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6sGR3isL2
Melissa: “Don’t worry, I’m on the case. Sorry my father can’t help too; he has his own project to work on. But, apparently, your group brought me some help.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxetdx5O32
Izuku: “Yes, Mei Hatsume and Momo Yaoyorozu. I don’t know where they are at the moment.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV2VWZGFqu
Melissa: “Don’t worry, I’ll find them. Meanwhile, I’d like to know more about you three.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Hj2IIN5M
She goes to shake Izuku’s hand and then Tsuyu’s, both giving her their full names.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J3AhPW3mH
All Might: “Well, you all have fun. I’ll go and pay your father a visit. Here is the hotel key and location.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cLyUU3n6w
He hands the information and item to Tsuyu before leaving. The group waved All Might goodbye as he hurried towards the central tower of the island.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kRCtqiTw5
Melissa: “Now then, let me give you a tour. I’m sure we’ll run into your friends eventually. After that, we can properly start on the Engine Project.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2BbUIxUXa
The group followed Melissa as she showed the amazing sights of the island. The one most geeking out was Izuku, who knew just how much it would take to build all of this.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCTlwYmiI7
Izuku: “Whoa, this place is amazing! I can’t believe the whole island is man-made; it’s nuts.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21mjv0mPo5
Tsuyu: “Look.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEwyDNGHgT
Izuku: “No way!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I9Lzv5fk8
The group looks towards the group of people crowding around another famous hero.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IBCv91qOd
Izuku: “It’s the Monster Hero: Godzillo!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9d4IjCJZL
Tsuyu: “My brother loves his movies, kero.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBflfxHb4G
Izuku: “Me too!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8Jpki9fHx
Melissa: “Nice, I bet a sponsor flew him out there for the expo.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01D5uUDf7n
Izuku: “Yeah, I heard it’s pretty expensive to sponsor someone. My sister actually used that system to fly Emory here too. I wanted her to bring Shinso too, but it was too much.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs21v5UNh6
Izuku: ‘At least I convinced Aizawa to help train him.’
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00XZA5xGKv
Melissa: “I heard that Blizzard was loaded. Didn’t know she was that well-off. Oh, look!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSmjRdY0bW
While walking, she points to a nearby building. But whatever was inside could wait; Ida stopped the group.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g91CdJsXU
Ida: “If you don’t mind, I’d like to rest in my room. I’ve seen enough.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5HtSWIYoH
The three look at him with worry, and it only makes him feel worse. He… doesn’t deserve this.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmBTkjOMWQ
Izuku: “Are you sure?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiPuv8zgo4
Ida: “Yes. Tsuyu, you don’t have to push me. I can handle it.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGe0DFa99K
She shakes her head and keeps her hands on the back of the wheelchair.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftIvEY9cnn
Tsuyu: “It’s fine. I want to help.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPkKMeVdMt
The boy’s shoulders slump, understanding he can’t change her mind.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NvQ6eeIrd
Ida: “Alright. T-Thank you.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrHFE7sy7k
Melissa: “Well, if you’re sure, then we’ll see you later. I’ll keep you updated on the Engine Project.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc26fAFatP
He simply nods before being pushed in another direction by Tsuyu.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVFmcmf0N6
Izuku: “Ida… ”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6IZ74NHC5
Melissa: “Uncle Might didn’t give me all the details. Who did this to him?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqam0ArJAG
Izuku: “A… villain. But Ida blames himself because he put himself in the situation.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaga4fCPzR
Melissa: “Why?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ99ZGJ7OH
Izuku: “To avenge his brother.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKmtKu2sGm
Melissa: “Wait, so the Hero Killer did that?!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczHWZKdFRc
Izuku: ‘So his name reaches even here…’
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xIbZu6urX
Izuku: “He was involved but not the main cause. Anyway, it’s not important. As long as Ida can get a new leg and become a hero.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09rv1HpLdI
Melissa: “Of course, don’t worry. Like I said, I’m the case. But right now, let’s continue the tour. I’m sure we’ll run into one of my helpers I’ve heard so much about.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqhnK4jB2P
Izuku: “Yeah… ”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSEPCeICfv
Izuku: ‘It’s also a good way to focus on something less heavy.’
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyJXXDmPsl
The duo entered the building Melissa pointed to before, and the sight helped ease their nerves. The soft blue lights and the diverse hero item selection.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoKBQZgxt0
Izuku’s inner geek wanted to burst out and cheer at the displays. But he just didn’t feel like it right now.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zvcbm7lP1
Melissa: “Midoriya, look at this one!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodbA7zW4Bx
Didn’t mean the girl wasn’t going to try and lighten the mood. She points to some sort of high-tech air vehicle. Looks high-speed if the holographic video above the display was anything to go by.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sw2q3AOZw
Melissa: “This multipurpose Beagle can fly like a jet, of course, but it can also move underwater!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeMMVAKbu1
Izuku: “That’s… that’s… so cool!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZumdz4tpp
Melissa: “Haha, I’m glad you think so. Come on, there is something I want to show you.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygJArnGmsy
She grabs his hand and leads him to another display. This one was of a special diving suit.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfOe0E8LbZ
Melissa: “You can wear this diving suit and drop seven thousand meters in the ocean.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwImE8gnFlV
Izuku: “So deep!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cxZ0LQUSM
Next, Melissa takes him to a booth where he can try out some support gear.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6DxppPQ0l
Melissa: “This helmet is equipped with 36 different sensors so you can see all around your body.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8F5sKOUNt
Izuku: “Um, I actually can do that already. Sort of.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZRz0BRnDq
Melissa: “Oh… ”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ831NF7J1U
Izuku: “S-Still cool though! Let’s go to the next one!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG1nd6yqZu
The duo continued to explore and relax in the display hall. But it doesn’t entirely work; seeing all these support items gets Melissa thinking.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWIj6LVNi3
Melissa: “You know, almost everything here was created based on inventions Papa patented.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoA6kDjgtc
Izuku: “Wow, I bet you’re proud of him.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty105kjlS2
Izuku: ‘Wish I could say the same.’
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOPguK7XcG
Melissa: “Yep. Each of these support items will help heroes around the world. I hope I can add to his legacy with the Engine Project. So… I want to say thanks for trusting me with it.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUkIXpTIPf
Izuku: “N-No, no, you don’t have to thank me. All Might was the one who recommended you.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoB8MaQNdt
Melissa: “But Ida is your friend, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want someone you don’t trust working on him.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtvfECJBI1
Izuku: “I guess… you’re right.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeUsQ4Mf5D
Melissa: “So, thanks again. I won’t let you down.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy1j9JiZYw
The boy nods and gives her a reassuring smile.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbXRrorldB
Izuku: “I know you won’t.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpYwJxDt6O
As the two give each other bright smiles, Izuku suddenly feels a chill creep up his spine.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrIs4cB8TR
Kiri: “Having fun?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33at596bsF
The boy freezes for a second before slowly turning to face his blank-faced sister.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRo5LCQZ1O
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif3ELefCoc
Momo: “Ahem. You appear to be having a good time.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivGsHH3Eg7
Izuku: “Momo, too?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ovn8v1Y0P
Jiro: “Midoriya, how’s it going?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EGf7O4pb0
Izuku: “Even, Jiro? Okay, everyone calm down.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMPgjoxxM6
Kiri: “We are perfectly calm.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcwHdrk9qp
Momo: “Very.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2c3doGrSw
Melissa: “Are these your friends?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5h3dfQk0G
Izuku: “Um, y-yeah, these are my classmates.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX7LqG6ton
Izuku: ‘Let’s not bring up how two of them are more than that at the moment. One of whom is my sister, sort of. Time to change subjects.’
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wa6Ztu9yd
Izuku: “In fact, Momo here is one of the people who will help you in the Engine Project.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsfnhomPC5
Melissa: “Oh! I knew we’d run into each other eventually. Nice to meet you.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj1AYqQGYO
Momo, not seeing anything really wrong, sighs and shakes Melissa’s offered hand.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWa7DRLIzY
Momo: “Likewise.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QzXNnf833
Melissa: “So what’s your quirk? I heard it’s incredible.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejleC5Ueap
Momo: “Well, I can create things.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyVkToLEhR
To prove this, she holds her arm out and produces a matryoshka doll painted exactly like Melissa. The other girl quickly caught the doll as it popped out of Momo’s skin.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc4WrVdweM
Melissa: “Oh my goodness! That’s amazing! No wonder you were put on the project. I can’t wait to meet my other partner.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05HiS3UM7N
Momo: “Well, she is certainly… a character.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfSkiCLsoe
Melissa: “My gosh, I already have so many ideas. With you, I could even upgrade your hero costumes if you’d want. Instant production would cut down on time substantially.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZUJpNE8zQ
Momo: “Hahaha, you’re just like Izuku when he nerds out.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Do79AmWPs
Kiri: “Nh.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPWabcp7Ky
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04w0Y6pGqg
Jiro: “I’m starting to feel like a third wheel.”

Melissa: “Well, we can’t have that. I actually have some ideas in my head regarding your quirk specifically.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAmz82PEEK
Jiro: “Huh? W-Why?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX39sA4azw
Melissa: “I didn’t have time to see the whole tournament, but I did see your match, and I was fascinated by your sonic gun.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfrlS8ZDFZ
Jiro: “W-Well… Momo made that so-”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pUbWSMpVy
Melissa: “Even more reason for us to discuss this over some tea. Follow me.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPXktGGuxo
Caught in her wave of excitement, the group let Melissa lead them out of the building. While the girl talked, Kiri stayed a bit back with Izuku.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLXoQK59pD
Kiri: “Love rival?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI18MkTdezZ
Izuku: “O-Of course not! We’re just friends. Her father is David Shield, All Might’s friend.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ046ItZ43WR
Kiri: “I see. That’s good. After all, you still owe me.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDrWxDrSOu
Izuku: “I…uh…”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS9lMOyrtY
Giving in, Izuku just sighs and nods. The sight puts a smile on Kiri’s face. Eventually, the group makes it to an outdoor cafe area.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVE4Y3cw0l
Melissa: “Wow, you all really got to work with pro heroes!? Like on the field?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv7frN9CAE
Kiri: “Nh. Fun.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNDe0JYgQ6
Momo: “Until it wasn’t it.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j6WTSLola
Melissa: “Yeah, I heard. I’m sorry you all had to go through such a horrifying experience.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7ePGKzmtY
Jiro: “Well, I wasn’t really there so… ”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoBplcvzhD
Momo: “I’m glad you weren’t there, Kyoka. It was stressful as is.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTlOAAyyON
Jiro: “Still, I wish I could have been there to help.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGssU3cZlWy
Kiri: “Might happen. So prepare.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUAo3JKE3o
Melissa: “Right! So, about those support gear upgrades I was talking about.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdtSDtUqhZ
Izuku starts to tune out the girl talk happening at the other table and focus on his drink.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPAZ6RSG87
Denki: “Thanks for waiting.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tx0vZZAHS
Izuku: “Thanks for the drink, Kaminari. Still surprised you decided to work on break.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkXy6llwSr
Denki: “Well, they need the extra staff, and they pay, so I thought, why not? I even managed to convince Tokoyami to help out.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITEpkq8APJ
He points his thumb to another table being served by a Tokoyami in a clean-cut suit. Despite his bird appearance, the girls he’s serving seem to like him. If the
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzpJmE1jaj
Denki: “Might give Todoroki a run for his money at this right. Who would have guessed?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwK7GnGLhv
Izuku: “Speaking of, where is he?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscZlm7XOTy
Just then, a large explosion was heard far in the distance. It was strong enough to shake the ground a bit. Worried about it, the group quickly made their way to the source.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BmxoSEZ2k
Izuku was the first one to arrive and see what appears to be some sort of battle arena.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZG6q5Q9Lc
“A clearance time of 28 seconds. He’s in seventh place.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZARtKnck9L
On top of a small rocky mountain was Kirishima smiling after defeating several robots scattered about.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdgWs8wC3k
Kiri: “That’s where Rocky went.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nlIZMSwUo
The boy turned around to see the rest of his friends arriving on the scene.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRQc3CjgV3
Melissa: “So I’m guessing that’s another U.A student as well?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yQjJwjasA
Izuku: “Yeah, he’s from our class too.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFTknRM7Jz
“Now, welcome our next challenger!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh0zmynbBx
The group looks down to see Bakugo walking towards the starting area with a determined gaze.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv3fkNnAQ4
“The villain attack force has been reset! Ready… go!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR1HfTVPQG
As soon as the words were spoken, Bakugo blasted off like a rocket. Every robot was taken out with a single blow in rapid succession.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwBqzQhW7i
Bakugo: “DIE!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcyVM1sESC
Melissa: “Die?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXGe2b0r0t
Izuku: “It’s his catchphrase, don’t worry about it?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n30nbhWcs
“Look at that time! Only 10 seconds, he’s in first place.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnJdWSIU5e
Kaoru: “Booo! I demand a recount! Boooo!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLGZGTMAum
Apparently, Izuku’s group wasn’t the only one here. Not far away, sitting in the audience, were Kaoru and her friends.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo3pduvxQW
Izuku: “You guys, you participated too?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMsaFfkVMQ
Aoi: “Only Kaoru and Sabrina did. Kaoru got first place with 12 seconds, which is why she is mad.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYIHFjf36T
Kaoru: “I can’t believe I lost to that jerk.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qcn4YSqHW
Kiri: “I thought Scary Eyes or Flash would be first.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1wn6w7XBv
Sabrina: “My range is not as good as Kaoru’s. Still got third with 15 seconds.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL8WJ3DRcc
Aoi: “If I’m Flash, then it’s because I want everyone else to go first.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPKfSrqWdu
Kiri: “Confident?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnjXYnkzOy
Aoi: “Of course.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG5mcAbJFI
Melissa: “Wow, Midoriya, you have a lot of colorful friends.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwixwlLgxlz
Izuku: “Yeah, I’m lucky to know them.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1EzEJYy8s
Bakugo: “Deku!!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5q0qLucSP
The boy turned just in time to see Bakugo jump onto the rails and glare at him. Tensions rise as the two refuse to break eye contact.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QNwVscXnb
Melissa: “What’s up with those two?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeqyuJ0daU
Momo: “Let’s just say they have history.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF1ZOp9yFy
Kiri: “Ugh.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIraU6PxlT
Bakugo: “Why are you here, Deku!? I know you’re not here trying to beat my score.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbGAydzHRl
Izuku: “N-No, I was just checking what caused that loud noise.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXozSvC9kPI
Bakugo: “Tch, I should’ve known you’d back out of this too. You don’t deserve to be here, Deku!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSyLhtnt9V
Izuku: “Are you still on about that?! By that logic, you don’t deserve to be here either!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuQMPI9Jzh
Before either could say anything more, a surprise cooled them down.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOsGRDUZyp
Uraraka: “Bakugo, didn’t you say you were going to watch my attempt?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWunrZDmu3h
The duo turned to see Uraraka, who’s about ready to jump down to the starting area.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjNvNIyYS4
Bakugo: “Hah!? I didn’t say that, round face!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfkppKm1Kk
Uraraka: “Then you’ll miss how I’ll break your record.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGcsfJapuZ
Bakugo: “There’s no way that’s happening!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAPslrT0R5
Deciding this was more important, Bakugo jumped over the rail just as Uraraka did. Izuku could only stare in awe.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgQvyY9lmh
Izuku: ‘How did she do that?’
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDItAB9MxCJ
Denki: “Oh? Does Bakugo have a soft spot for Uraraka?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pTY82mi9X
Kirishima: “Hahaha!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4b38YtEDl
Bakugo: “Hah!?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMCIM5mxa1
Before the boy could correct that misinformation with a bomb in the face, the round started. Uraraka brought what seemed to be floating debris tethered to grappling hooks from her gauntlets.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbCIHOvlQf
When the countdown started, she spun around fast and released the tethered debris, firing it at the stationed robots. When their weight was restored, they shot off like bullets.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWIgF1zhqd
All of the robots were torn apart, and the time was called.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHGADtqhL7
“Excellent showing! Clear time, 11 seconds!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYyeIHwG2D
Uraraka: “Aw, man! So close.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uCH3C4F7z
Kaoru: “No way, I’m third now?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnAZOkwjkS
Sabrina: “Impressive.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g4CFtY8uT
Bakugo said nothing and doesn’t seem to have reacted to it. But Izuku could tell; he has been around Kacchan long enough to notice the slight smile.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFszP31JNRE
Izuku: ‘He really is changing… but… for some reason.’
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5m8esRB3I
I don’t like it.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkmyl4gznU
Uraraka: “You’re turn, Midoriya.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw2L3pYPpA
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXChEFhXvxd
Kirishima: “Yeah, we want to see what you can do.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMMr65IaNg
Bakugo: “Tch, like he could beat round face’s score, let alone mine!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn6V42t57S
Izuku: “… Fine.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOKZ7QKiIj
As Izuku floats downcast, Aoi sighs.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dOdAAOAbx
Aoi: “I shouldn’t have waited. I doubt I can beat his score.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG27klUu97
Kaoru: “Huh?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKVF9EGYXh
“We got another challenger! Today is just full of surprises. But what is this?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTQEYJUCaD
Instead of standing, Izuku sits on the ground in a meditative state and closes his eyes.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwS4LpVg6E
“Um… are you ready?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxNJMBwGA0
Izuku: “Yes.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2fE7SsMBq
“Well… okay… start!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvAc8xRbDM
The second the first syllable left the announcer’s mouth, Izuku’s body erupted in green. Every single bot on the course started to glow and then rapidly flew from their hiding places. After that, they were smashed into each other, creating a jagged metal sphere. Finally, Izuku slammed the result into the ground.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBepACHXLk
All without moving an inch.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxoc9mjuUj
“AMAZING! Seven seconds! SEVEN SECONDS! Two seconds away from our ALL-TIME RECORD!
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA7Vilotxx
The boy breathed in and out before floating back up to the stands.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsrerdcoQT
Kiri: “As expected.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJUJiPZvX2
Kirishima: “Way to go, man!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq6Ab8PGw6
Karou: “Ugh, I have to get better at sensing things; I could have done that too!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHpdQchjOM
Bakugo: “Tch! I’m going again and blowing that score to ash!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdzUZaHaI8
“SIX SECONDS!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNSk7VaV7B
The whole group turns to see who beat Izuku’s score, and it was none other than Todoroki. The whole small mountain was frozen over.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJxSD3EwhD
Denki: “Yep, should have seen that coming.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7IknhHjEl
Bakugo: “Him again!?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmEUmagixL
Melissa: “Another one from U.A? You guys are amazing! You’re all going to be great heroes.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KPDKaPtEQ
Momo: “You’re too kind.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG4ekczS1f
“Due to the state of the area, we will only allow one more challenger.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuytC2Y4xRT
Bakugo: “Me!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexvIJi4Omi
“No retries.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtwZ4TSgV8
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD3mbVOoVR
Kirishima: “Maybe next time, Bakugo.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMRKrS13qo
Izuku: “So, who’s going?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoHlmUtjHQ
Jiro: “Not interested. I don’t want to embarrass myself.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLAjExmmPL
Kiri: “Boring.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg1LKmwQNA
Aoi: “I lost my chance. I can’t beat six seconds.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMAeBzdBo9
Shiho: “I want to see what Yaoyorozu can do.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KSuU4BNbp
Momo: “M-Me?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjs9f1GCzJ
Melissa: “Oh, yeah! Me too! I want to see your quirk in action.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhXrKGMtuq
Shiho: “And I heard that you’ve gotten stronger; I’m curious.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBtR9n9Tyk
Momo: “I-I don’t think I can beat six seconds either.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFTO3ebAUF
Izuku: “You don’t have to. Just… have fun.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4DUiJgkI2
Kiri: “Like Rocky.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NR1tx7aN0
Kirishima: “Yeah, it’s a good test of your current skill too.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYyB8kEIwJ
Momo: “I… alright! I won’t disappoint you all.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXHYd086e9
Momo vaulted the rail, landing down below.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuiCfiCxlP
"And here’s our last challenger for this evening! Are you ready?"
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xv6AsvPv1
Momo nodded, set her feet, and brought up One For All. Her veins glowed before she sparked with red lightning. She jerked her arm, and a polearm came out, which she held in a loose, ready position.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o4DuoQEjk
"GO!"
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2PFVveKSP
Momo exploded forward at her current maximum of 5%. Three steps had her already up to the first plateau, and her naginata sliced the bot cleanly in half.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IKspoiWNN
The force behind it was so great that the rock beneath it cracked as well. Her naginata glowed red as Momo utilized her Quirk, stabbing it into the ground and growing it rapidly to fling herself at the next bot.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQp9ec3iA8
As the naginata was absorbed back into her body, her momentum propelled her into the next bot with a dropkick. Her feet planted into its chest and shot it backward into another villain, knocking both of them off the mountain.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauJj2N1Kaz
Momo quickly rolled back to her feet and soared into the sky. She created a bow, and this thing looked mean.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd3F7qM5VQ
The construction of this thing put every bow from history to shame and required some extreme strength to even draw the string. Then there was the arrow; it looked like it was made for hunting dragons.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPseiWtLL4b
Momo took aim at the bot in the water and loosed the arrow. It flew so fast a shockwave rippled around it. Without even bothering to watch her shot hit, Momo used the momentum from it to turn herself around and made a second arrow. This one looked futuristic and was covered in strange bumps.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvU4AUc52C
She loosed the arrow, and it looked like she'd overshot. Instead, when it passed overhead of the cluster of remaining bots, the arrow detonated, flinging shrapnel around and shredding the final enemies.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzw9DDb3GK
All the while, Melissa had been marveling at Momo's performance.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KUDCkbQU2
Melissa: 'Amazing. What destructive strength! But is it just me, or…'
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHVKIOABIC
"Another amazing performance! The time is 12 seconds, tying with one of our former first placers.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUo9XdqRfV
Momo smiled, waving at the crowd as she leapt back up to the stands.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPqs0cQ8HZ
Kiri: “Well done.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzrzpM16t0
Izuku: “Way to go, Momo. You might not have gotten first place, but you looked the coolest.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN9T3g6nHr
Momo: “Thank you!”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdBo5SCRmW
Melissa waited after everyone who wanted to gave their congrats and left to do their own thing. Those remaining were Izuku, Kiri, Momo, Jiro, and herself.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspQVgpeIrp
Melissa: “Excuse me, but I have a question.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cvzgcN3RO
Momo: “Yes?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJOyRVNKbw
Melissa: “What was the draw on that bow? It was quite big.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUrwEDiqN4
Momo: “Um… fifteen hundred kilograms.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlJifTm7D9
She says with a slight blush.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKr6bwlc7k
Melissa: “Really! You must have a strength quirk as well.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TSBvKHGSC
Momo: “Well… no I-”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8iIehg8YM
Jiro: “Yeah, I was wondering about that too, Momo. What was all that red lightning and sudden increase of strength?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEYiMtNwdx
Momo: “I-”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerLmWbEqIW
Izuku: “Just say your quirk evolved.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdOKhQQ8uu
Momo: “Are you sure that will work?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMSg1Ym3uf
Izuku: “It has to. Maybe Melissa can know, but not Jiro. I’m sorry.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAmsP9CfLv
The girl sighed and agreed to the telepathic plan.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDt2P7Elaj
Momo: “M-My quirk evolved, and I’m a bit stronger. It’s a side effect of my increased ability to create things. It happened during the internship.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSWQCCv2vB
Jiro: “Oh, that makes sense. Congrats.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXrDnPNkJo
Melissa: “I see, I guess that works.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8uys7lLes
Kiri: “Engine Project.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX0T5aRq0U
Melissa: “R-Right! I thought we would have run into my other partner by now. I guess we have to search a bit harder now.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGgYVmiBPp
Izuku: “Thanks, Kiri.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkkZWjjNP5
Kiri: “Nh.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCzt9lrR7F
Momo: “I have no idea where that girl could-”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KVBsnqgH5
Mei: “There you all are! See, I told you I knew where they would be.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprH6PlZ45d
Jiro: “Speak of the mechanical devil.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSkTtZk8fQ
The group turned to Mei, who was walking toward them. But she wasn’t alone. There was a young boy with her, one with pure red hair and a soft smile.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmrCnZX1l4
For whatever reason, Izuku felt something off about him. Despite that, he doesn’t show his discomfort.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRdQe07cXu
Mei: “Let me show you someone who appreciates my babies almost as much as me, Soma Kageyama.”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIp5vNbATA
Izuku: “Wow, you remember his name?”
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfd2pgQqli
Soma ignored everyone else and went straight for Izuku. He offered his hand and smiled.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftK4rkSJrC
Soma: “Nice to finally meet you, Izuku Midoriya.”
