And so time passed for the students suspended.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9FVxLN7B8
Unable to go to U.A, they mostly self-trained, studied, or relaxed. For Izuku specifically, he got more comfortable with his powers and his current romantic relationship.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksgtyXyFh3
It was peaceful, something the boy greatly appreciated. But eventually the time to return to school arrived, and with it the possibility of more conflicts.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OP58b6tva
But now?
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQLAjfsoFx
Izuku is confident he can face them.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyPKmWr24v
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRnkrHSurN
Aizawa: “Welcome back, problem children.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD50bg5Obaa
The teacher said in front of the restored class. After catching up with each other, the class resumed as usual. Like they never left.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRbeIbcJI6
Aizawa: “Now that the class is back to normal, we need to help those behind catch up. Winter break is fast approaching, but I’m sure you all don’t want another break to waste away too. So we’ll be going to a Winter Break Forest Lodge.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e7kE5Msqz
The whole class erupted in cheers. A forest lodge, even in winter, means hot baths, fireworks, and good food.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGXdYBxo68
Aizawa: “However, should any of you fall short of a passing grade for the end-of-year final exams, then you’re stuck in school, in remedial hell.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBcoDtdrnl
And that’s when the cheers slowly died down as the words sunk in.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQuflVVyHR
Denki: “I haven’t studied at aaaalll!! With the sport festival, workplace experience, training, and I-Island, I never stopped to properly study!!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNmIBNXKvg
Tokoyami: “Indeed.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJtbRuufNI
Mina: “Ah hahaha, me neither.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XsmYktsbB
Says the 14/15, 10/15, and 13/15 students when it comes to grades. As for the bottom…
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgxtl8Ixtn
Kiri: “Ugh.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYnSgpLjhd
15/15.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTEeuQrb1i
Yeah, the break, inner crises, and relationship drama didn’t really allow for the poor girl to catch up to her peers. That, and she didn’t like studying.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11ehz4cchk
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri, I’ll help you study.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EvezxWcRs
8/15.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYrfIsxMiR
Denki: “How?! You were suspended!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLlsffAues
Izuku: “I studied when I could and asked Aizawa for the work I missed. I couldn’t do everything, but it helped.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpHL37oPsL
Ida: “Bravo, Midoriya! Bravo! I did the same!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVd0yqCHJy
5/15.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUyadMpmah
Denki: “Seriously!?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2YgciPEAv
Mina: “You think that’s impressive? Look at Yaomomo.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDxP7YVlDu
Momo: “Haha.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqErtWFAqsq
2/15.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLtDecKDxq
Denki: “Missed days, and she still gets top scores. That’s insane.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7gPlBGS3w
Todoroki: “You were actually in class; you shouldn’t be getting failing grades.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfbFmM5SJT
3/15.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI9exbicqW
Denki: “Mind your words!!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFth3C3pDv
He says while grabbing his chest from the emotional damage. Meanwhile, Izuku smiles at the boy’s antics while glancing at Ida’s new leg.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTVhsAObgS
Izuku: ‘Good to see it’s holding up. Melissa probably gave it a checkup over the suspension, all while getting used to U.A. I’m glad Ida can enjoy school again.’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06iEeEx5J6
Thinking back on what caused this to happen, the boy’s eyes darken.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ3vA2jQ6t
Izuku: ‘I won’t let anything like that happen again. But to focus on that, I still need to take care of a couple of things.’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnP5apnv3w
He turns to the current top scorer in the class, Bakugo. The explosive boy doesn’t turn to face Izuku, but he knows he’s being watched.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDEStwOVMl
Aizawa: “Enough.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY5WcfKPje
Everyone stopped talking and returned back to front.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk49t7vBvH
Aizawa: “If you don’t want to fall behind, you should take initiative like those suspended. If you have to, create a study group.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ENVRDfV0L
Momo: “Oh, we can do that at my house! I would love to help everyone with the technical side of the exams. Izuku and Kiri can help with the practicals.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh70jdokrBf
Izuku: “Yeah, that sounds good.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG45TwCv5L
Kiri: “Nh.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe63Ky0YO8
Jiro: “Really? Thanks, Momo.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZRZeP2RCO
Mina: “Yaomomo, you’re a lifesaver!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gOPVA0ltB
Kirishima: “Yeah, let’s do our best, everybody!! For the Forest Lodge!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6DRvIMChB
Everyone: “For Forest Lodge!!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGlakfXb6Q
Aizawa: “Quiet.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpjo4OBERn
…
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRZRGZQJC1

124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg2jXKxnnY
Aizawa: “You all still have normal classwork to deal with first. So let’s begin.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1wVGUzPzK
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUH5AvBo5u
After the intense classwork the group had to do, it was time to relax at lunch. In addition to the usual suspects, another girl decided to sit and eat with them.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SvTPcsrLn
Melissa: “Hey, everyone.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCOtJe8osp
After everyone gave their own form of hello to the girl they met on their recent adventure, Izuku asked the first important question.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pgkhCSfe1
Izuku: “How are you liking U.A?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI4arlUByl
Melissa: “It’s amazing! Everyone is super nice, and their quirks are a wonder to see up close. Nothing really compares to you guys, but it’s the experience that counts.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJDApi54L6
Ida: “I’m happy to hear it. Thank you and Yaoyorozu again for everything you’ve done.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEGa0LhSPM
Melissa: “No, it’s fine. I’m happy to help.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0BrcNCK05
Momo: “I feel the same. I’m just glad you can be a hero again.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2T20dtYoj
Denki: “Yeah! It’s great to see you back in action, man.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza9Xin0tg8
Kiri: “Nh.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyVMFBz09G
Ida: “You’re all too kind, thank you.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiTBOwLPjx
Melissa: “I’m glad to see our Engine Project is working so well. But I hope we did enough for your upcoming exams.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ580szExp9p
Ida: “I’m confident you did.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgyDehdhGQ
Izuku: “But it is worrying that we can’t know what will be on the practical test exercise.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAOrkPIuqc
Ida: “Nothing too wild, I would think.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8JNZhFMgc
Deciding to join the growing conversation, Uraraka and some of the other girls nearby chipped in.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmDvs1MeB1
Uraraka: “We can still pull it off, the normal subject test, that is. Especially with Yaoyorozu helping.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoefC72qY2
Mina: “Yeah! Yaomomo, you got this.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbs5P5tt6g
Momo: “You know I’m not taking the test for you, right?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmFq94JeBv
Kirishima: “But what will the normal subject test be about?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrUETqMkK9
Tsuyu: “Aizawa said it will be an overall summary of what we did this semester. But he didn’t tell us anything apart from that. Kero.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJP1R877JO
Uraraka: “He gave us the battle trials and rescue. The rest was almost all basic training.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvMbwq3OG2
Denki: “So basically, we just study everything and train until we-”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeh3hHvvYe
Denki: “Oww!!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuqsDritzi
It was then that Denki’s head was hit by someone’s elbow. The group turns to see one of the class B kids behind Denki.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2v79y34tb
Denki: “What’s the big deal!?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumRP6BSYhq
Jiro: “Yeah, you… what’s your name again?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXitOqTY7wL
Mina: “Moron something?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcVEEjkQDe
Neito: “It’s Neito Monoma you-!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1RGdNz6aR
Taking a breath, the boy reclaimed his cool and answered the first question.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejdrzENF1b
Neito: “My bad, your head was so big that I ended up hitting it by accident.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmswqqAEzAE
Denki: “Tch, sure you did.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcjbtLFTXC
Neito: “Hey, I heard some of you fought the Hero Killer.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5geLaYveW
The class table suddenly got colder as their eyes narrowed at the soon-to-be corpse if he didn’t keep his mouth shut. But run his mouth he did.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K3DwqaeYw
Neito: “The ways in which you’ve been basking in the spotlight have only multiplied ever since the school festival, haven’t they, Class A? Only the attention you’re grabbing isn’t out of exceptional skill, but instead the attention you’re grabbing is in the form of trouble!!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ1fr6yurq
Under the slightly floating table, fists are being clenched. One more slight, and hands might be thrown. Yet still, the man keeps going.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxVtQg6uJq
Neito: “Man, it’s so scary! One day, we might get wrapped up in the trouble you lot call out of the woodwork, and then we’ll get hurt! So scary, I-PWAH!!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2rbfKzxa8
Luckily for him, he was saved by a sharp chop to the back of the head.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38Gwqpfghn
Kendo: “That’s not funny. Don’t you know what happened to Ida?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiJ0FzATNb
Kirishima: “Yeah… he was going too far.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdAiyTJxKg
Kiri: “Nh.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOACk2wpGj
Kendo: “Sorry about him. This kid’s heart is… well… you know how it goes.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaeNwp4ag1
Mina: “I think it’s his head, not his heart.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4rWEaauNX
Izuku: “Either way, it’s no excuse.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Gd3iHnIo
Kendo: “I know. Almost makes me wish I let Akashi do this instead. But I was sure she would have put him in the hospital.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WzE6ysyJL
Kiri: “Well deserved.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjVoSbHE52
Kendo: “Anyway, let me make it up to you. I heard you say that you couldn’t know what the final exam exercise would be. Well, I’m told it’ll be like the entrance exam. That is, a battle simulation exercise fighting against robots.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIeMiEVGVz
Izuku: “Really? How do you know?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Atp6UgD2u
Kendo: “I know an upperclassman personally and asked. I know that’s kind of cheating but-”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb04fG9HNzK
Izuku: “No, it’s not cheating. It makes perfect sense that the acquisition of prior knowledge would be integrated into the exam structure itself. After all, information gathering is important work.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZsrcEr4Sm
Izuku: ‘I should have thought of that. Or read someone’s mind. But that actually would be cheating… I think.’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7P6gNe2Zc
Kendo: “Well, when you put it that way, I don’t feel as bad.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOaMUQ41RT
Neito: “Kendo, why? You just threw away our advantage! This was our chance to-”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHb5VWaro9
Kendo: “Quiet. Or I’m telling Sabrina.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqucji5saBZ
Neito: “… I’ll be quiet.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dFGuVbxse
Kendo: “Good. Later, Class A, sorry again.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6LxZHPmAK
With that, the girl carried the fool back to their side of the cafeteria.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43vSsnVSNf
Denki: “You know, she’s kind of like the big sister of Class B, don’t you think?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsZldChjPp
Jiro: “If she’s the big sister, then Sabrina must be the mother.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovdSJ3FxPb
He might be gone, but his words still linger among the group.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZSzDMtwwS
Melissa: “Ida, are you alright?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUZQVqWsrF
Ida: “I’m fine; I won’t let what happened hold me back like that. After all, they’re just words.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWYHAw8Z7M
Melissa: “That’s very mature of you. Still, I guess not everyone here is nice, huh?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54CGQSCfPK
Izuku: “Yeah… they’re not.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEpo7L268t
Again, the boy looks at Bakugo, who was the only one to sit apart from the rest of the class. Even Todoroki and Tokoyami sat with them, even if they didn’t say much.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9JlBgImQZ
Uraraka did try to get him to join, but he shooed her away. So right now, Bakugo is isolated and alone with his thoughts. But those thoughts aren’t his alone. Izuku was tired of waiting.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNd5sILWnb
Izuku: “Bakugo.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0QoSWKWb9
The boy stilled; sweat dripped from his forehead as the fight-or-flight instinct kicked in.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5BI9lKIS0
Izuku: “Don’t react. Just listen. Today is the day. Tell Uraraka, or I will. Tonight, we settle things at the park where I first fought you when we were kids. Nod if you understand.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgecqLiMJz
Unbeknownst to all, he gave a slight nod.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyaRMPEqBz
Izuku: “Good.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK26BVWCJsl
Back at the table, Denki tries to get everyone back on a more lighthearted track
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWBZI6jTCq
Denki: “Forget that guy, we should be focusing on what Kendo said. If the practical exam is just robots, it will be a walk in the park!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64QHw80rp7
Mina: “Yep! No holding back! Easy as pie!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3UGuyrArF
Tsuyu: “Will it really be as easy as the entrance exam?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJv6UrZJ4s
Uraraka: “Yeah, they could throw an army at us.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRokkXPvq9
Jiro: “I doubt they have the budget for that.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42XcvdzfYQ
Denki: “Right? So we’re shoe-ins for the frost lodge!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfAWBLMAUc
Seeing that the conversation was returned to something more jovial, Izuku returned his focus to eating. There’s something far more important than exams on his mind right now.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZMCaTfRCA
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt7fB0OHao
Soon the day ended, signaling the last chance for Bakugo to tell Uraraka.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYvhiaOhQn
Izuku: ‘He’ll probably tell her while walking out of school.’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyBm1elduM
With that in mind, Izuku turned to the two girls walking with him and made a choice.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK9hCDhHg1
Izuku: “Momo, Kiri, I need to stay behind.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zP11IHLZv
Momo: “What’s wrong?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xRskNPhiu
Kiri: “… Bomb Boy?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXaFj85uZ2
Izuku: “Yeah.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv01MYHqgP
He proceeds to explain his plans and the conversation he had with his former bully.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7R1jYviOr
Momo: “I’m glad you didn’t do anything like that, Izuku.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCfpPmAxvX
Kiri: “… I guess.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mIBrTqlA7
Momo: “Kiri! He can’t kill Bakugo; he’s trying to be a hero.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsvwTAE3jd
The girl sighs before explaining herself.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZBMCucsLY
Kiri: “I know, but… I hate him. For years, I felt what Onii felt, the negativity that nearly caused him to… ”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmWNfIF8iw
Kiri held her arms as those particularly bad days floated to the surface of her mind.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepuGurH1mj
Izuku: “I… don’t know if I would have survived without Kiri eating the worst of my negative emotions.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziLv8V4Bac
Momo: “I’m sorry you two had to go through that.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42cELbrBKk
Like a mother with her children, Momo hugs them both.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9p7171jT3
Izuku: “Thank you, Momo.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq42nlWD5W
Kiri: “Nh.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTXJSs8ufS
Momo: “Always. But still, don’t let what he did to you change who you are. You are not a killer.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHZ3Rw14h0
Kiri: “Agreed. Hero.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVB5ZfinW5
Izuku: “… You’re right. Thank you.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODjsYyHMWl
With that, he said his last goodbyes. Kiri won’t wait for him and will instead inform Inko that Izuku will be late due to handling his past trauma. Yes, his mother should know what is happening. His sisters too, when they are ready to talk.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvrKnACJDp
Waving his girls goodbye, Izuku narrowed his eyes and faded into the dark shadows cast by the dying sun. It is here where he sees Bakugo calling out to Uraraka.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ4joS0ktO
Bakugo: “Round Face! I need to talk to you.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHmR2GXDWE
The poor girl nearly jumped out of her skin when called. But it was just surprise; she quickly recomposed herself and went to Bakugo.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgABFEIKzZt
Bakugo: “…. Follow me.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiwwYalOSP
Uraraka: “Um… okay.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkI3aWrOG1
Izuku can see the blush forming on Uraraka’s face and instantly knows the feelings are mutual.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW19SlwqUg
Izuku: ‘All the more reason.’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwiFmNuwVs
Uraraka followed Bakugo to the back of the school, a relatively private area. This only made her blush deepen further. This was the perfect place for a confession.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoW5LYAddY
But it won’t be one she’s thinking of.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalpf4sDTdy
When they reached their destination, Uraraka fidgeted with her fingers before asking the question.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rxecdf5Rg
Uraraka: “S-So, Bakugo, what did you want to talk about?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJXfWBfSDu
Her voice was soft, like an angel’s, and somehow had an edge of seduction to it. She didn’t know how this little encounter would end, but she was prepared and eager for nearly anything Bakugo asked of her.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKkCTm3acZ
Bakugo: “Listen… I…”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSyksxBMyJ
He gritted his teeth as oxygen became harder to intake. Izuku was still nearby, able to sense them both and their surface thoughts.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu7p6nfSmO
Bakugo: ‘Why is she looking at me like that?! She looks… cute… do I really… damn it! I don’t want to do thi-!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI5qzGmXOO
Izuku: “But you will. You will tell her everything you did to me.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNoPosGQl4
Bakugo stilled in horror. Yes, Izuku was still around. He couldn’t escape this.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESX3tFOoBZ
Uraraka: “Bakugo, are you okay?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaqfiTXjVZ
She goes to touch his arm. Bold, but considering the circumstances, she thought it appropriate.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuGntWcyAJ
But not Bakugo, he backed away and showed a fear Uraraka never thought she’d see on his face.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoe7vofW77
Uraraka: “Bakugo?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySs79svKx1
Bakugo: “Round face… I… Damn it!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIFzPIlSMJ
There it was, and Izuku couldn’t help but smile. Bakugo let it all out, everything he did to him. It was a mess of emotions laced with the occasional excuse, insult, or deflection.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwDmL4W9QR
The frustration with the situation, coupled with the desire to not lose this connection, caused Bakugo to try and lessen his actions.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbVT084s3n
But he couldn’t; Uraraka wasn’t dumb. So over the course of those scream-filled minutes, her face became increasingly pale.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJPwCk3C8r
The rough but, deep down, well-meaning boy she was slowly falling for was gone. The respect she held for him shattered.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wDOIc6NYj
Who she thought Bakugo was, wasn’t real. No, this boy was someone who bullied her friend to near suicide. This boy betrayed someone he used to consider a friend just because he was quirkless.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyV43yjHXF
That was if she bullied Ida for losing his legs and becoming essentially quirkless. She could never.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UBQHSj0nP
The fact Izuku came out as good as he did is a miracle. That miracle has a name, but she doesn’t know it, so Bakugo seemed even worse.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeI3lm6UxE
In the end, she stood stunned while Bakugo breathed like he just ran a marathon. He looked to the girl he was developing feelings for and asked-
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbn2yUsyiT
Bakugo: “Well!?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy4efIVeqh
A moment later, his cheek was stung by the slap of a heartbroken woman. His eyes widen as he slowly turns back to a tearful Uraraka.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iRJSPMGzL
Uraraka: “B-Bakugo… I-I don’t know why you told me this. A small part of me wants to believe you did so to show how serious you are about me. No secrets between us, you know. But this? I… I can’t… ”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsweHGfMZ2K
Bakugo: “But-”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMkWVluMwD
Uraraka: “We’re trying to be heroes!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSQ3zV5CJd
Bakugo: “I will be a hero!! The number 1 hero! I’ll surpass All Might!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEjD6HR0r8
Uraraka: “You don’t deserve that! What kind of hero bullies someone to suicide? What kind of hero betrays their best friend?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWpW5xjJjR
Bakugo: “Deku isn’t my friend!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UmgWdtlKc
Uraraka: “… I guess he isn’t. But he is mine. More than that, I can’t be with someone who shows no remorse for what he’s done.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYP6H7wYeK
Bakugo: “So that’s it!? You’ll just leave because of fucking Deku! Do you like him or something!? What? You want to be a part of his harem too!?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTRvgFnFhW
Uraraka only cries harder from his cutting remarks. Unable to take much more of this emotional turmoil, she turns around.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFgP2Peu6l
Uraraka: “G-Goodbye, B-Bakugo.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimyBzD6Rr9
With that, she walked away. It was then that Bakugo fully realized what he had done. Who was walking from him.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQLNkAECwy
Bakugo: “Round face, get back here!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnU6VUDumI
She continues.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuUCOfr7O0
Bakugo: “Damn it! Stop, wait!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrByHuevojf
She’s almost around the corner.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOB7rxEhlj
Bakugo: “Uraraka!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4oB1rWSth
She was gone.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgQYnKwxRH
His head drops as he realizes that he only made things worse with his last words to her. But he was so angry! He couldn’t control what came out of his mouth.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrONob1qW8k
But that anger has long faded; only emptiness remains.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5lBEFAiRd
Bakugo: “I-I’m… sorry.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABIR1WGtqK
Izuku: “She’s not the one you should be begging for forgiveness.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ORRl7m5kE
Bakugo: “DEKU!! THIS IS ALL YOUR-”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzkMP0whNx
Turning around, he saw a truly horrifying sight. The once golden glow of the sun seemed to choke and die as Izuku walked toward him, turning into a sickly black and green.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcJCCtmv3E
Bakugo: ‘Is this… real?’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhnXvqxtto
He was stunned with fear, unable to move as Izuku approached him with a cruel smile. The prince patted Bakugo’s red cheek as his final words of the evening echoed in his mind.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFnCJ9N3YN
Izuku: “Good job, Bakugo. All that is left is our fight; don’t be late.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFOCY1pqNu
And just like that, Izuku was gone, and the light returned to the world. But not to Bakugo’s mind and soul.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHADPZHKAF9
He looks to the sky and knows, deep down, this will only get worse.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3CsZdkvOu
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NkOSXcdZY
Izuku reappeared in some alleyway and covered his mouth. It felt sooooo good to see that. A maddening laughter escaped his hands as his eyes rapidly flashed several dozen colors.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gGWCopk8O
Clearly, the beings in his mind also enjoyed the show. They wanted to do more, so much more to him. Izuku was tempted to let them.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP5NbOf2bl
But he won’t.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVIOZ3T5dK
Reaffirming control over himself and the legion within, Izuku leaned against the nearby wall.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PpS3XxMxf
Izuku: “N-No, I’m a hero. I won’t kill or torture him… much. And this is my fight. No one will interfere, understand?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ3xawZMRA
The legion obeys the prince, retreating into the shadows of the depths.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBKyOxQD5Z
Izuku: “Still, you can still enjoy the show. I won’t lie, I like getting back at Bakugo. And I’ll enjoy it even more tonight.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfgU3k3Z88
Izuku: ‘I can’t wait.’
