And so, the final exams were finished. The Big Three went back to their own studies, while those who needed bed rest/repairs got it.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZa6rVbT7o
When all was said and done, Class 1-A was back together the next day. But as expected, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. The first group did fail after all, and their current distressed faces said it all.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0T03X9PHe
Mina: “Oh my god… you… you guys… I’m so looking forward to… to all your stories… oh god… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHBfOAgpj6
Izuku: “Don’t give up! You don’t know; there could be some unexpected twist! Maybe Aizawa was tricking us again.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxAW2JIwkh
Kiri: “Nh. Rocky has to come.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY1mUbM4p5
Sero: “I don’t know; if you say that, you’ll jink it… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEZnRvEj7L
Just then, the front door opens to reveal Aizawa.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36uWY3RnKJ
Aizawa: “When the bell rings, then you take your seats.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQtvde1uFS
They quickly do so as the teacher goes to the front to deliver his judgment.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszMxVTTR2C
Aizawa: “Morning, now about your final exams. I hate to say that three of you have failed. And as such… everybody’s going to the forest lodge!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHpF31whde
Kirishima, Mina, & Sero: “WHAT A TWIST!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND4yljXL3i
Izuku: ‘I knew it!’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMBK0hFrOl
Aizawa: “There were zero failing grades for the written exam. For practical, Sero, Kirishima, and Ashido failed.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJLJGv48Hu
Kirishima: “But we can still go, sensei!!?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zUdDBQwl0
Sero: “It’s true; looking back, he never said clearing the practical meant a sure passing grade… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL87YsjQyyE
Aizawa: “For the exam, we ‘villains’ left you a way to win while gauging how you faced the challenges we set for each of you. If we hadn’t, then you’d all have run into a dead end before the challenges even really began. So it’s all done to drive you into a corner. The Forest Lodge was a boot camp to begin with. So the students who failed need it the most. It was a logical ruse!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHh1j43eCz
Everyone: “A logical ruse!?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHifiUUufJk
Ida: “No again! But that is U.A for you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDXzhQ58ST
As those who failed celebrated, Ida got out of his seat with his hand raised.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPuwsLgwds
Ida: “All the same! If you keep piling up ‘ruses’, then our trust in you will begin to waver, will it not!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegTHFOgO9V
Uraraka: “And Ida with the wet blanket.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK84LVyGx0
Aizawa: “You’re not wrong. I’ll reflect. But it’s not as though it was all a pack of lies.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKunSVnctse
It was then that those celebrating stilled.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC5eht1q4M
Aizawa: “Failing grades are failing grades. So you three have earned yourselves special remedial periods. And to put it bluntly, they’ll be harder than they would have been had you stayed on campus. Now I’m going to hand out the lodge guides, so pass them back.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT32srsYhA
After normal classwork, the group was able to properly look through the guides.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIskPo7eYHQ
Ida: “A one-week boot camp, eh?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCNXCgzrnz
Izuku: “Looks like we’ll be needing pretty big bags for all the stuff we need to take.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpElzOOAWLO
Denki: “I don’t have a bathing suit or the other stuff on here. Man, I need to buy loads.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPXr9bXBrR
Mina: “Hey, I have an idea! Since tomorrow is free and exams are done, let’s all go shopping! Class 1-A shopping trip!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjOU3ihkAs
Denki: “That’s a great idea!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtsfb0xpLs
Kiri: “Nh. Fun.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz3XqMGf7S
Momo: “And when it comes to the mandatory supplies, I don’t mind helping anyone pay if it’s too much.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE6H61vwJs
Mina: “Really!? You’re willing to be our sugar mommy, Yaomomo?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRXlVhdujI
Momo: “S-S-Sugar m-mommy!? N-No I-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWswYWNQ4N
Kiri: “Heh.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDPivfTXBf
Momo: “Hush you, I know you don’t know what that word means.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunGI9WKg4e
Kiri: “Reaction still funny.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD0u3hm1ii
As Izuku laughs at the jovial banter, he turns to Todoroki, who seems to be getting ready to leave. Wanting to befriend him and to further build the class’s connection, he walks over.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi1oiNodTg
Izuku: “Todoroki, do you want to come?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIz0T5xZ4Z
Todoroki: “Sorry, I visit the hospital on free days.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHASGoGsjQ
Izuku: “Oh. I understand.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6QSgpWcel
Able to guess who he’s visiting, the boy leaves it at that. Todoroki deserves that time with his mother.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5Mi5zSmgN
Turning back around, it would seem everyone wants to go shopping. All except Bakugo.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLylW5JKkl
Izuku: ‘Should I… invite him? No, we worked together; it doesn’t mean we’re friends. Just… colleagues after the same goal.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsLTsK66B1
The boy left the choice up to the only person who seems to-
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlqXGxlqFL
Kirishima: “Yo, Bakugo, you want to come too?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWuSvWYc1X
Izuku: ‘… I guess there are two… ’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYVEEfv0c3
He watches Bakugo about to refuse before locking eyes with Uraraka.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrondQ9W03
Bakugo: “Tch, fine!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoZeCoMyMc
Kirishima: “Awesome, that’s almost the whole class! I was sure you would say no, though.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP69IfEKL1L
Bakugo: “We’re just going to the same place.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcRenHULKR
Kiri: “Onii… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKBVi1kR2m
Izuku glances at Kiri, who is narrowing her eyes at Kirishima.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcjm7DqCOe
Kiri: “Rocky wouldn’t be friendly with Bomb Boy if he knew. Tell him.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ1WhG9gMc
A part of him wants it, to tear apart another bond Bakugo is forming. But a larger part just wants to move on.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB3zO9XNww
Izuku: “It’s fine, Kiri. Bakugo has suffered enough. Besides-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN83R6lXDEF
Kiri: “No, he hasn’t. You didn’t even break a bone. After what he has done, he-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczbhzYbzCu
Izuku: “Enough.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0fFY75mWK
The girl’s eyes widen, and she shrinks in on herself from the stern tone.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAvdGOlO6t
Izuku: “I haven’t forgiven Bakugo fully if that’s what you’re thinking. I’m just… tired of it all. I also think Bakugo will tell Kirishima if they get close enough as friends. I won’t put a time limit on it unless Bakugo starts acting… like before. If he does, you can deal with it.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoajHq8emFy
Kiri: “… Good.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0Leri5reF
Momo: “Kiri, you’re talking telepathically, aren’t you?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlihP4QjBH5
Noticing the fact that Izuku and Kiri were eerily quiet, Momo called out to her partner in this relationship.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgnfNZ380L
Kiri: “S-Sorry, don’t worry. Just…”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSGdjpudfd
She looks to Bakugo, and Momo manages to catch her line of sight.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EyYtZCtDS
Momo: “I see… we’ll talk later?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRd2wnWmyI
Kiri: “Nh.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0UWQx1Zhb
The day ended quickly after; Kiri did decide to walk home with Momo instead. Probably to discuss what Izuku and Kiri talked about.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ28hIBNxz
Izuku: ‘I hope they won’t team up on me about this. I’m not budging.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdW8ObL9xE
While sending them off with a wave, Izuku refocuses on another important matter. He turns around to see the person he telepathically called out to.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBjS7Rds6W
Izuku: “Shinso.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoPmSR2O9N
Shinso: “Midoriya, long time no see. You feel… different, again.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ2rteJl49
Izuku: “You too. Did the training from Aizawa help?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x8hWrs0f1
Shinso: “Yes, thank you for that. I… really think I’m improving as a hero.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vuQZ4vJB7
Izuku: “That’s good.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQcTtEulOP
Now with a relaxed flow between them, the two are able to walk and talk.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqXhk3oNv4
Shinso: “You didn’t explain why you feel different.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVWCJ9ZBGX
Izuku: “I just accept the rest of my quirk, including the part that turned you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7bhAwO0oz
The boy stiffens as that horrendous memory tries to resurface.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ0nFSEPJn
Shinso: “And what does that mean for me?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEJljzexSV
Izuku: “It means that I accept you as my Apostle.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L2KsEqTzu
Just saying the word seems to darken the world around them, like the sun itself fears the implications.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxubhhBi2ot
Shinso: “W-What does that mean?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlZ5AoXphF
Izuku: “Think of it like… my generals. The real meaning is too complicated to explain.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgd5hhKgux
Shinso: “Huh? Are we going to war or something?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLskqte1Wig
Izuku: “… Maybe. Sometimes it feels that way with villains.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSxk4xK2Vk
Shinso: “I guess… even I heard about what happened in Hosu. Not to mention the recent blackout.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfLUzEBsDG
Izuku: “Yeah, I’m sure a villain was behind that. That’s why we can’t reject ourselves; we must become stronger to protect what we hold dear.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaQIOwZnQo
Shinso: “… Agreed.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78I8LW0oYU
Izuku: “And that’s why we’re going shopping tomorrow.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAsqbqVUie
The purple-haired boy stopped in his tracks while Izuku kept moving. Took a moment to realize his apostle stopped.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosfk23nIOe
Izuku: “What’s wrong?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGlfpxnOeJ
Shinso: “Just processing whiplash. What do you mean, shopping?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckrbv3WRyL
Izuku: “You don’t have to buy anything; Class 1-A is buying supplies for the Forest Lodge trip.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YcunUwQLF
Shinso: “Then why am I coming?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PnrvUW8PL
Izuku: “To possibly welcome the second apostle, if he agrees to it.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP91QpoJMhs
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFnM5XnY0P
The next day came, and nearly the whole class was standing side by side in the bustling mall.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AmBsVrB4O
Mina: “And so we’ve arrived! It’s the mall that boasts the most shops in the preference, on the leading edge of today’s youth! It’s the Kiyashi Ward shopping mall!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS5ltUba6P
“Got 6 arms? We’ve got you covered! And you, with the giant calves! We have unique apparel just for you!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclsVwVXKC8
Izuku: “Wow, they don’t just cover everybody’s individual quirk-related needs through sheer inventory size. They can also attract customers through their extensive collection of designs made to fit any and all demographics from teens to seniors and-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1klIyJ6QSR
And there he goes mumbling his thoughts, a habit he can’t seem to outgrow. But at least some people find it-
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDz0nYHGJz
Kiri & Momo: “Cute~.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzirSZ0b0TM
Tokoyami: “But it may frighten children.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAaaePU2AB
As proven by how some nearby kids looked at him with either concern or light fear. Like there was something wrong with him, talking low and fast like that.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfR24FvYU8
Izuku: “Oh? S-Sorry.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0hTWwQtAx
“Yo, dude, check it out! Aren’t those U.A kids!? The freshman!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVfFv7pArW
“Wooooo, sports festival!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuZxw36519
The group turns towards a crowd cheering them or gossiping.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswfTKx4xkg
Uraraka: “Wow, there are people who still remember us?!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPtRQ6VE4C
Bakugo: “Tch, this is why I didn’t want to come.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBdV2WFpXp
Kirishima: “You’re here now, man. Might as well enjoy it.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5pMM1gO9O
Momo: “But we should get started; we have a lot to get.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3JG4GmgEm
Jiro: “Yeah, like I need to get a large carrying bag.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLYTd5nfwC
Momo: “Oh, in that case, why don’t we look for one together? As for everyone else, stick with at least one partner. Single gender only unless you’re dating. That means no sneaking off with Izuku, Kiri.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiuqrZG8C1
She says while grabbing the back of Kiri’s shirt before she can run off.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQsyx98v49
Kiri: “Aw.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG6WlycXNX
Ida: “We should also determine when we should regroup.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL1REl31PD
Izuku: “One hour should be enough time.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1zZl63Lly
Momo: “Agreed.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDJayAUU1t
With the plan set, the groups were made and went their own way. Izuku made sure to partner with Tokoyami, much to the boy’s surprise.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuzjQaxCTc
Tokoyami: “Why me? And why alone?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyqH80G4L2
Izuku: “Tokoyami, I-I have a… proposal.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllT826TgtU
Tokoyami: “… Alright.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaJ1rZHro0
Izuku: ‘I hope I don’t come off as some kind of freak for this.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwNFbtI5oU
Calling out to his apostle telepathically, Izuku followed Tokoyami to one of the stories he liked to frequent. Fortunately, it was a store with low light, perfect for this conversation.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS4aeSL6BK
Shinso kept back as Izuku found a moment to speak while Tokoyami looked through various supplies.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR1UuCCARC
Izuku: “D-Do you… remember what happened to Shinso during the tournament?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9ZbHVkztD
Tokoyami: “… Yes. We all believed you did something, but Bakugo suggested it was simply because Shinso was scared of you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rR4SNX6oD
Izuku: ‘Bakugo… defended… why?’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV34MPMao8
Placing that in the vault, Izuku refocused on Tokoyami’s next words.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZsUhiljCK
Tokoyami: “But that’s not the truth, is it, Midoriya?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ExLrw9y04
Izuku: “No, I did do something to him. It was an accident, but I am at fault. However, it… turned out to be something good.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEavyQ2RyG
Tokoyami: “What do you mean?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbOsK4YYME
Izuku: “W-Well… a part of my quirk… e-enables me to… let’s say… evolve certain people’s abilities.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuWZejRvrH
It was then that Tokoyami put two and two together.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbtzlxNxLI
Tokoyami: “And I’m one of those you can help evolve?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIVjS3DMUO
Izuku: “Yes. I even asked Shinso to join us so he can explain.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7hpIr7dVt
Izuku: ‘Come out.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcLQW6rJGT
Shinso came out of his hiding spot and stood next to Tokoyami. It was unintentional, but they did end up boxing him in. Izuku to the left and Shinso to the right. The boy didn’t let it get to him; he trusts Midoriya enough to know he isn’t trying anything nefarious.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTBQvD71j3
Shinso: “So he’s the other apostle?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFpTEEJoZT
Tokoyami: “Apostle?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoecVn1JhUG
Izuku: “Just what I feel to call those that this part of my quirk affects.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr7LUZPhYl
Tokoyami: “Midoriya, your quirk is… strange.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkOOj17j29
Izuku: “You have no idea.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomuEOEyGFa
Tokoyami: “… What are the details of this… evolution?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0hwElh5Vg
Shinso: “Well, I don’t know how you will change, but it will mostly improve your quirk in some way. And it will do massively. For example, do you see anything strange about me?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaNayLMwaH
The boy turned to Shinso and looked over his tall, well-built, and muscular body.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lQzWgdS2s
Tokoyami: “No.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXDyzi9HIp
Shinso: “What if I said the evolution enabled my quirk to create a psychic field to make everyone think what I look like is normal?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo0fleCXIF
Tokoyami took a moment before figuring it out, the result of which was eyes widening.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eLRtq5FsU
Tokoyami: “You didn’t always look like this?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRmZNFigi6
Shinso: “No, I was smaller and less impressive to look at.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD8Fj7EZAT
Tokoyami: “I see… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m9kTIwwxD
Izuku: “I can do something similar for you; my quirk… wants to do so.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRs0QNi4hH
Tokoyami: “… What is the catch?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzhpNHwBzY
Izuku: “Oh… right… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDgwfWDua6
Shinso: “It’s painful and horrific. The… things you’ll see… they’re… indescribable.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM4i6hNyGF
Izuku: “B-But The Eighth said it could be less painful so… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzxWZn0q77
Tokoyami: “The Eighth? Is that the part of your quirk that will evolve me?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN6Jk7Tz5J
Izuku: “Y-Yes.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OF4WM3vnn
Tokoyami sighed and went back to looking through the supplies in front of him. He did so on autopilot though.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4vNdt4TUc
Tokoyami: ‘I know Tae is also a part of Midoriya’s quirk. Is The Eighth something similar, a mental construct? But… for some reason it feels like it’s more than just that.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fq2UsYCty
Tokoyami: “How would this affect Dark Shadow?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcYXtbbeXH
Izuku: “I’m sure it won’t affect who he is. He’ll become more powerful though, just like you will. All you have to do is say yes, and you can become so much… more.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTQwpPiDhL
Tokoyami: “Why does it feel like I’m about to make a Faustian deal?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxefoOBx13I
Shinso: “You are.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzqae4rQoT
Izuku: “S-Shinso!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrncUWiJrS
Shinso: “Just being truthful. The upfront costs are steep, but the rewards are… I guess I can say it has been worth it. I doubt I could have become a hero without it. I do wish I had a choice like you, though.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3qKZABJQk
Tokoyami: “Why didn’t you?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo88qX0gRyS
Shinso: “My main quirk is brainwashing, a psychic-type quirk. When I tried using it on Midoriya, my mind entered his, and… the rest is history.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc0TUznqE2
Tokoyami: “… I understand. Is it alright for me to think about it? I should discuss this with Dark Shadow.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6DIhH5OgS
Izuku: “O-Of course. I’m just glad you didn’t reject it right away.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2XmmzZ8RT
Shinso: “I’m for one surprised.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm77M9d8yg
Izuku: “So… do you still want to buy those Forest Lodge supplies together?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFojV9F6sF
Tokoyami: “I’m not frightened by you, Midoriya. You can stay.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WGpn5bU5J
The boy released a breath he didn’t know he was carrying. The last thing he wants is to drive his friends away because of his quirk.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedFBrkTfx9
Izuku: “T-Thank you! You can stay too, Shinso.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLebIklUSfk
Shinso: “No thanks, I have nothing to buy. Besides, I should get back to training my abilities.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa476Jg65K
And with that, Izuku’s first apostle left the store and returned home. This left Izuku and Tokoyami in a comfortable silence.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXPK6w7ohH
Now that they have discussed the serious topic, they can relax with some simple shopping.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWHR2Sjpwp
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AUpsbk7XK
Jiro: “You really are like a doll, Tae.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQAA2vs5CC
Momo: “I have to admit, she is fun to dress up.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMNvrIyj4o
Kiri: “Mmmmm… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡectcdQxPIq
Meanwhile, this trio of girls was helping Kiri pick out new cute outfits. Right now, Momo and Jiro are sitting together on a large cushioned chair while Kiri tries out several outfits.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIsdYi1nPZ
Kiri: “Forest Lodge. Not beach.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PyK9CLJp0
Momo: “We’re shopping in advance. Besides, we got everything we need for the trip.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgVsIW41kU
Jiro: “It went by quicker than I thought.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlEB8uoLwN
Momo: “I did have most of what we needed already. Buying extras wasn’t much of a hassle.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH9fgMlm7U
Jiro: “You even had some money left over to buy some things for Ashido and Kaminari. You really are a sugar mommy.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMDiEi5WNk
Momo: “Please, Kyoka, not you too. I just want to help out my friends.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp40LwOUIAh
Jiro: “Haha, I’m just messing with you, Momo. There’s nothing wrong with flashing your wealth around for some friends. Speaking of, time to try the next expensive outfit.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ8aITgCzG
Kiri: “Last one?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqcC9nW8Hg
Momo: “Yes, last one.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPYfRoZAN0
Kiri: “Nh.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtqv5MKe1s
Kiri went back into the changing booth and got to work figuring out how to wear the thing. While they waited, Jiro leaned back and smiled.

It was time to ask a spicy question and then report the results to Mina.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlChhrohZLD
Jiro: “So… how far did you two go with Midoriya?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfw7Ki6vKA
Momo: “K-Kyoka!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bOuVMK6VO
Jiro: “What? I’m curious. I never expected you to be in a throuple. Not so innocent anymore, huh?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9myPKOpsf
Momo: “I… you’re right. I never thought this would be how my love life would go, but… I’m happy. Izu is sweet and Kiri is… not as bad as I thought.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cHCxUEmy1
Jiro: “Happy to hear, but you didn’t answer my question. Spill.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m8u96x8qt
Momo: “We… I… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6iEoGD4Bk
The girl looked away while touching her lips and swallowing when the memories rushed back.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPi32caQmJ
Momo: “Far… not all the way… but far.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bt1wpPkDH
Jiro whistles at the confession.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIe3GuOfAt
Jiro: “Vague, but I think I have an idea. And Tae was there?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskWzzGxGLa
Momo: “She… helped, yes.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMPIJVXvaM
Jiro: “Wow, Midoriya is a lucky guy.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ168sb2LG
Momo: “Well, I would say I’m lucky too. Izu is great with his ton-… never mind.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCwV7cAoJF
Jiro: “Nope, too late! Our Midoriya really is full of surprises. When I first met him, I didn’t think he would do something like that. At least not without blushing like mad.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvnkcCElaX
Momo: “There was a lot of blushing, but we got over it. But enough about my love life! How about you, Kyoka?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbnW7QZaA6
Not expecting the sudden reversal, Jiro backed up a bit.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQikZ830H8S
Jiro: “M-Me!? There’s nothing going on.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpRnTz06Xo
Momo: “No, no. You don’t get to chicken out now. I see how you look at Kaminari.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNbc5Hmmsb
Jiro: “I-I don’t! W-We’re just friends, that’s all.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxowSrLR5g
The twirling of the earjacks says otherwise.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT39ETcgCFP
Momo: “Riiight. Well, just know, I’m rooting for you. You deserve happiness like this as well.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczTRqCw6dR
Jiro: “T-Thanks, Momo.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwulVMtlrdu
Kiri: “Tight.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpLoDbaScx
The two girls look back to the finished Kiri and are stunned. Kiri’s last outfit was supposed to be mostly a joke, a suit and tie meant for a guy.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbwETxHdY6
But despite Kiri’s modest curves, she pulled it off. She pulled it off very well.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95y38YZMbl
Jiro: “Damn… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tdZFlSCig
Momo: “I… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuJoy97H9N
Momo: ‘Why is Kiri hot!? Am I… no, I only like Izuku. But… Kiri is in this relationship too, and we have seen each other n-naked so…’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIlKMPLtBm
Shaking those thoughts away, Momo quickly bought the outfit, much to Kiri’s confusion. After that, the dressing session was brought to an end.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzu6UXEsuG
Right on time too, the shopping trip was nearly over.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN3l4YQaDN
The class regrouped soon after and made sure they had everything for the trip before leaving the mall for home.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7k8XF3tP5
The next time they meet, it will be time for the Forest Lodges trip. A trip that will signal the beginning of the end.

Final Exam Arc END

A/N: Sorry for the delay. Things happened in October, but moving wasn’t one of them.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JEXCc86Iw
All that time wasted. Then I had to catch up with some clients during November while picking up an additional one.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs9EOoU47u
I only had time during the last section of November, and I had to put off other work to do so.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmOyy3MdvM
I hope you enjoyed this arc, but I personally think it’s one of the weaker ones. Still necessary to move the plot and characters forward.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aBN67u6en
I also wanted to add more Melissa and One-Punch Man elements, but I couldn’t find the right time. Already a lot to juggle. I think I can add some more(One-Punch Man) next arc, but I don’t want to make the enemies too strong.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQCW7rf7QQ
I guess we’ll just have to see how things pan out.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqHUUQAFC3
As always, favorite, review, and give thoughts. They feed my motivation.
