And so time passed for the students suspended.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK00sogv3Mz
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qg0f3p0ki
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNobUFKc44
But now?
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUiTzSV19g
Izuku is confident he can face them.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewgOVqGoKT
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOcxvl61Ky
Aizawa: “Welcome back, problem children.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGs12AilIj
The teacher said in front of the restored class. After catching up with each other, the class resumed as usual. Like they never left.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HnZBsIjZD
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sjMiKs3GC
The whole class erupted in cheers. A forest lodge, even in winter, means hot baths, fireworks, and good food.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mMMJOIn6x
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxMjwWJHNU
And that’s when the cheers slowly died down as the words sunk in.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PZNaKL4fW
Denki: “I haven’t studied at aaaalll!! With the sport festival, workplace experience, training, and I-Island, I never stopped to properly study!!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdiZeBGKTP
Tokoyami: “Indeed.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhu5uY6o69
Mina: “Ah hahaha, me neither.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQVQ0BsZQF
Says the 14/15, 10/15, and 13/15 students when it comes to grades. As for the bottom…
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NbdqXoH9m
Kiri: “Ugh.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPN7ohox7e
15/15.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmWIdC1bWv
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMgP9BWFZQ
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri, I’ll help you study.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDy1SjFp3Z
8/15.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAHDAszjbH
Denki: “How?! You were suspended!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOfwSzzKDm
Izuku: “I studied when I could and asked Aizawa for the work I missed. I couldn’t do everything, but it helped.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyAhUXYhI9
Ida: “Bravo, Midoriya! Bravo! I did the same!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAbkESwzwU
5/15.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFekIvFH0X
Denki: “Seriously!?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6rh5G7RWb
Mina: “You think that’s impressive? Look at Yaomomo.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5wT3Skrp9
Momo: “Haha.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsgft3KqPX
2/15.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVGoysje6J
Denki: “Missed days, and she still gets top scores. That’s insane.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFC9ZlRLTS
Todoroki: “You were actually in class; you shouldn’t be getting failing grades.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDi8ueK5hT
3/15.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uD8Eg25rG
Denki: “Mind your words!!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuJgviHnDr
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs5zmmTiqh
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.’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx1kHzXaIV
Thinking back on what caused this to happen, the boy’s eyes darken.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksHeGEOjJg
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.’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvEn0lr4qR
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zWCL2yyq4
Aizawa: “Enough.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35XXo8vkEs
Everyone stopped talking and returned back to front.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUgfGb2EXI
Aizawa: “If you don’t want to fall behind, you should take initiative like those suspended. If you have to, create a study group.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwjT1ZhWSt
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fDL4Px67Y
Izuku: “Yeah, that sounds good.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiWO7AAQcE
Kiri: “Nh.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDHFGzWK6Q
Jiro: “Really? Thanks, Momo.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BClDqjjZM
Mina: “Yaomomo, you’re a lifesaver!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Yp8dJ1f5
Kirishima: “Yeah, let’s do our best, everybody!! For the Forest Lodge!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvpyDnJfPc
Everyone: “For Forest Lodge!!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPKUy3h6XG
Aizawa: “Quiet.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqTts9XEea
…
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjLa5J6Mkf
…
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23M9fIGwmF
Aizawa: “You all still have normal classwork to deal with first. So let’s begin.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAMDtXwL3V
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfdKzoFFyN
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTREJ4I45fX
Melissa: “Hey, everyone.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6ECCOQbnz
After everyone gave their own form of hello to the girl they met on their recent adventure, Izuku asked the first important question.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiGLh76ftg
Izuku: “How are you liking U.A?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefIFDrAbdG
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa07rIXnAGh
Ida: “I’m happy to hear it. Thank you and Yaoyorozu again for everything you’ve done.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a474FU56U
Melissa: “No, it’s fine. I’m happy to help.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQk1C895XD
Momo: “I feel the same. I’m just glad you can be a hero again.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxfcSntQN5
Denki: “Yeah! It’s great to see you back in action, man.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeplMNleCl
Kiri: “Nh.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepqE5Nv4si
Ida: “You’re all too kind, thank you.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qqMLwhR3C
Melissa: “I’m glad to see our Engine Project is working so well. But I hope we did enough for your upcoming exams.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM77QLLxxP
Ida: “I’m confident you did.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDj0jBC9VD
Izuku: “But it is worrying that we can’t know what will be on the practical test exercise.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoYgrHp6h0
Ida: “Nothing too wild, I would think.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Yq4LV025R
Deciding to join the growing conversation, Uraraka and some of the other girls nearby chipped in.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO03AAHavj
Uraraka: “We can still pull it off, the normal subject test, that is. Especially with Yaoyorozu helping.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ZLzDQdt2
Mina: “Yeah! Yaomomo, you got this.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2Jyk2qORR
Momo: “You know I’m not taking the test for you, right?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJCAmY8dMM
Kirishima: “But what will the normal subject test be about?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6udjQcLsZA
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRxsdYQLE9
Uraraka: “He gave us the battle trials and rescue. The rest was almost all basic training.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltv44F3TcK
Denki: “So basically, we just study everything and train until we-”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKO9OVShah
Denki: “Oww!!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTNCwUVuI8
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0rAJRyhEo
Denki: “What’s the big deal!?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVepuSC875
Jiro: “Yeah, you… what’s your name again?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNoJzIe9JJ
Mina: “Moron something?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDvMDQWuRF
Neito: “It’s Neito Monoma you-!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xjmkVy0mY
Taking a breath, the boy reclaimed his cool and answered the first question.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilWFqWn0Wx
Neito: “My bad, your head was so big that I ended up hitting it by accident.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU8dbG3CuV
Denki: “Tch, sure you did.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0T7uHAEUG
Neito: “Hey, I heard some of you fought the Hero Killer.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxnUCILEXg
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaYhN3X7pe
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!!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSylpL9sKx
Under the slightly floating table, fists are being clenched. One more slight, and hands might be thrown. Yet still, the man keeps going.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjb6Oi7Ehq
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!!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdRSVhs6bE
Luckily for him, he was saved by a sharp chop to the back of the head.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYtyEduex9
Kendo: “That’s not funny. Don’t you know what happened to Ida?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1kuqjOFNx
Kirishima: “Yeah… he was going too far.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz3Nw7gGfT
Kiri: “Nh.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaHCDdwel9
Kendo: “Sorry about him. This kid’s heart is… well… you know how it goes.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNXjDC2Kw8
Mina: “I think it’s his head, not his heart.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFBw5VFepb
Izuku: “Either way, it’s no excuse.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCMpqEpVsb
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDMP2CP9gh
Kiri: “Well deserved.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ025rAlG0
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wEiS0T5hO
Izuku: “Really? How do you know?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwThEC2QMo
Kendo: “I know an upperclassman personally and asked. I know that’s kind of cheating but-”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa81SaBB42L
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nosXxvLSB
Izuku: ‘I should have thought of that. Or read someone’s mind. But that actually would be cheating… I think.’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibAqRjJMyH
Kendo: “Well, when you put it that way, I don’t feel as bad.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfzxW9wQHs
Neito: “Kendo, why? You just threw away our advantage! This was our chance to-”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09laWvepDk
Kendo: “Quiet. Or I’m telling Sabrina.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZueJO1pMrn
Neito: “… I’ll be quiet.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4mNctuUDE
Kendo: “Good. Later, Class A, sorry again.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vd5BHNtht
With that, the girl carried the fool back to their side of the cafeteria.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66MKUDCHI6
Denki: “You know, she’s kind of like the big sister of Class B, don’t you think?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnneRAeNpfC
Jiro: “If she’s the big sister, then Sabrina must be the mother.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0VRENQl7J
He might be gone, but his words still linger among the group.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwOiREwTZO
Melissa: “Ida, are you alright?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWikeUTzw9X
Ida: “I’m fine; I won’t let what happened hold me back like that. After all, they’re just words.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JiyZiq3VT
Melissa: “That’s very mature of you. Still, I guess not everyone here is nice, huh?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2hbXYSLz7
Izuku: “Yeah… they’re not.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLdejPvAiV
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYst5hcLQlI
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7OFsjwARO
Izuku: “Bakugo.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEj1cunJAM
The boy stilled; sweat dripped from his forehead as the fight-or-flight instinct kicked in.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtix9Xmowrr
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoxEc40dsv
Unbeknownst to all, he gave a slight nod.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jW3nJtcB6
Izuku: “Good.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NnEoYqt90
Back at the table, Denki tries to get everyone back on a more lighthearted track
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3IMqUHnNh
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!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvwQldOG0S
Mina: “Yep! No holding back! Easy as pie!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6P2IslsUi
Tsuyu: “Will it really be as easy as the entrance exam?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswDvmUiktQ
Uraraka: “Yeah, they could throw an army at us.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHyuwvqw0q
Jiro: “I doubt they have the budget for that.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tnJRAOq9c
Denki: “Right? So we’re shoe-ins for the frost lodge!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOOtWzCKC3
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXKOeFaB0i
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWOTCkGGXr
Soon the day ended, signaling the last chance for Bakugo to tell Uraraka.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAvser4RG8
Izuku: ‘He’ll probably tell her while walking out of school.’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhke5byKpc
With that in mind, Izuku turned to the two girls walking with him and made a choice.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD1sgBgSnt
Izuku: “Momo, Kiri, I need to stay behind.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuY15ecD7j
Momo: “What’s wrong?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR89BHxlEoV
Kiri: “… Bomb Boy?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49yJaaL3zd
Izuku: “Yeah.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEweMNM0QcT
He proceeds to explain his plans and the conversation he had with his former bully.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJCor2mbGV
Momo: “I’m glad you didn’t do anything like that, Izuku.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nn2bLRVG9
Kiri: “… I guess.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ibmiX3yJA
Momo: “Kiri! He can’t kill Bakugo; he’s trying to be a hero.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNEvjoaWZQ
The girl sighs before explaining herself.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI2L0fcOSe
Kiri: “I know, but… I hate him. For years, I felt what Onii felt, the negativity that nearly caused him to… ”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOrL7euJaq
Kiri held her arms as those particularly bad days floated to the surface of her mind.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFxNECBO35
Izuku: “I… don’t know if I would have survived without Kiri eating the worst of my negative emotions.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FOupoAo72
Momo: “I’m sorry you two had to go through that.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQudVvLdXdh
Like a mother with her children, Momo hugs them both.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPXOlt9e6z
Izuku: “Thank you, Momo.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuG4JeUFEA
Kiri: “Nh.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvL2A3iSmH
Momo: “Always. But still, don’t let what he did to you change who you are. You are not a killer.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0czvtyWCNW
Kiri: “Agreed. Hero.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCO8FZxBUQ
Izuku: “… You’re right. Thank you.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4y15mSzEe
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRAHOGUAUB
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxcDStdL4a
Bakugo: “Round Face! I need to talk to you.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUAq2uAwez
The poor girl nearly jumped out of her skin when called. But it was just surprise; she quickly recomposed herself and went to Bakugo.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwirgcGATx
Bakugo: “…. Follow me.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHXEsmBOi2
Uraraka: “Um… okay.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktRJGPEmBJ
Izuku can see the blush forming on Uraraka’s face and instantly knows the feelings are mutual.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZQEgu6hLw
Izuku: ‘All the more reason.’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfOT0zsH8i
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtrF6IN6x9
But it won’t be one she’s thinking of.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8hMLtoCC6
When they reached their destination, Uraraka fidgeted with her fingers before asking the question.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuTXnCHXSx
Uraraka: “S-So, Bakugo, what did you want to talk about?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvId2WGxjfa
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ORYdGuxyj
Bakugo: “Listen… I…”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yzr7E0SLy
He gritted his teeth as oxygen became harder to intake. Izuku was still nearby, able to sense them both and their surface thoughts.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBbGvDhJue
Bakugo: ‘Why is she looking at me like that?! She looks… cute… do I really… damn it! I don’t want to do thi-!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu7GEOT6LF
Izuku: “But you will. You will tell her everything you did to me.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeneXaPtIMP
Bakugo stilled in horror. Yes, Izuku was still around. He couldn’t escape this.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR665n3ZcC9
Uraraka: “Bakugo, are you okay?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwQa50e0r5
She goes to touch his arm. Bold, but considering the circumstances, she thought it appropriate.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDk0fw14J0
But not Bakugo, he backed away and showed a fear Uraraka never thought she’d see on his face.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9e21hWfep
Uraraka: “Bakugo?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6izIV8g6l
Bakugo: “Round face… I… Damn it!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qPODG4hkD
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1uZ2xMT2j
The frustration with the situation, coupled with the desire to not lose this connection, caused Bakugo to try and lessen his actions.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE24mhCYZC
But he couldn’t; Uraraka wasn’t dumb. So over the course of those scream-filled minutes, her face became increasingly pale.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXkyiGtoMd
The rough but, deep down, well-meaning boy she was slowly falling for was gone. The respect she held for him shattered.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPPhX2PFq4
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UUSBlCceR
That was if she bullied Ida for losing his legs and becoming essentially quirkless. She could never.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozVemdEpcb
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ789VEPhoBQ
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-
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4umUj1MfH
Bakugo: “Well!?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgrHB3fUNM
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jOtLJL5Wa
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… ”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1macEvi7k
Bakugo: “But-”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy1qSONvd6
Uraraka: “We’re trying to be heroes!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvGnfVzmZP
Bakugo: “I will be a hero!! The number 1 hero! I’ll surpass All Might!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5wCRpJqOb
Uraraka: “You don’t deserve that! What kind of hero bullies someone to suicide? What kind of hero betrays their best friend?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTwONl6TWP
Bakugo: “Deku isn’t my friend!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbxtAmoXTr
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PpDFR2vC0
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!?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kbRVcWAfy
Uraraka only cries harder from his cutting remarks. Unable to take much more of this emotional turmoil, she turns around.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OyxFqz0W5
Uraraka: “G-Goodbye, B-Bakugo.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBv6QL4hsT
With that, she walked away. It was then that Bakugo fully realized what he had done. Who was walking from him.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUju7QEMii
Bakugo: “Round face, get back here!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeKfhKw3I6
She continues.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRA0IQJzqi
Bakugo: “Damn it! Stop, wait!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZyCDFzHmk
She’s almost around the corner.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX82FZsoDXI
Bakugo: “Uraraka!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gZ4OY7NA9
She was gone.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRbrb7mlmP
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTwFoH1JX8
But that anger has long faded; only emptiness remains.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPTXeXdOMS
Bakugo: “I-I’m… sorry.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lApB80VT2
Izuku: “She’s not the one you should be begging for forgiveness.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bf4zMOlXj
Bakugo: “DEKU!! THIS IS ALL YOUR-”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruNIMrWmnV
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1H7kNZkBl
Bakugo: ‘Is this… real?’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCthacNVdsy
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog3KbXx7SP
Izuku: “Good job, Bakugo. All that is left is our fight; don’t be late.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtA3E86xbh
And just like that, Izuku was gone, and the light returned to the world. But not to Bakugo’s mind and soul.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiczmmAL8Qh
He looks to the sky and knows, deep down, this will only get worse.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71kow9a3JC

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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLbLVpzxso
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lonOHRava
But he won’t.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYifdHggxvE
Reaffirming control over himself and the legion within, Izuku leaned against the nearby wall.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUOpwwJ1lv
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?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxxMNYAKIf
The legion obeys the prince, retreating into the shadows of the depths.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFxhlJfP3B
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuYPIO8RVN
Izuku: ‘I can’t wait.’
