The sky was shining, the air was clean, and Neito was speaking nonsense.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqktqU98c55
Neito: “Huh? Class A’s got kids in remedial? So in other words, some of them failed the test?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAolaTxGzLN
Yep, just another normal day.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnArnOYZ4a
Neito: “What, what!? Isn’t that odd, though!? And here I thought Class A was supposed to be sooooo much better than Class B, was it not!? What iiis thiiiis!?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ldtYZ5afk
A second later, Sabrina gave the boy a hard chop to the back of the head. After that, Kendo carried the troublemaker away. Sabrina turned to Class 1-A and gave a respectful nod of apology before going back to her class.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoApGhbOvvP
Mina: “I guess we’re sharing the Forest lodge.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNfTUs8uEs
Denki: “Yeah… ”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdoUZ2GzB3
Kiri: “Not that bad. New and old friends.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ffitsu7xZ
She says while waving to Kaoru and her sisters, who wave back in their own ways.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvLOBnYJw2
Izuku: ‘New friends… right… ’
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5qtP2qrKJ
As his class gets ready to board their bus, Izuku’s eyes are drawn to two girls from the other class. One had pale grey hair and was styled in an unkempt pixie bob. Along with her demeanor, it makes her come off as a ghost.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL62dcHGSxT
The other had long, dark moss-green hair and a toothy smile.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EBsZM0RPf
Totally normal girls by UA standards. So why….
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHlSXXFqax
The Third: “*&*%)*@!”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4ryApeAEP
The Tenth: “*%)%&(@>”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3yXPkDMGI
Izuku: ‘Again!?’
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbwnuYi7Bw
He just had a talk with Tokoyami and has to eventually talk with Hado. Now, there are two other Apostles to convince, somehow.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUPC6bbAxL
Phoenix: “It is important, prince. Don’t worry too much about it for now. They will be patient.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCReZAk3O33
Izuku: “… Fine. I just hope there aren’t any more for a while.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f3zVEfuVd
Phoenix: “… About that-”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgsX4kT6vl
Momo: “Izu, are you alright?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ER4imbKz8
Taken out of his mental conversation, he turns to his girlfriend.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwTf4Hm6Gz
Izuku: “Y-Yes, just thinking. Don’t worry about it.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc6uGNPiZz
Momo: “… If you’re sure, then I trust you.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGix8E2018h
Izuku: “Thanks, Momo.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ764P3V26eX
Momo: “Always. Now come on, the bus won’t wait for us forever.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDVV0NSmdi
Leading him by the hand, the duo finally got the bus and took their seats together. Across from them was Kiri, who was sitting beside Jiro.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqexVpjSog
Kiri: “Okay?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgUF8jvI9h
Jiro: “Yeah, you were kind of out of it?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopoLC0TEJm
Izuku: “It’s fine. Just thinking about how to push my quirk further during the Forest Lodge. No worries.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ApaKm9Ptr
Kiri: “… Okay.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbhBZWWqoY
Jiro nods in agreement as the bus finally starts moving. The serious atmosphere between the four quickly bled away as the bus became animated with excitement.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZFB48OQTH
Aizawa tried to cut in with some directions about the trip but decided against it when his voice couldn’t reach them.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPuRpGrBT5
It was for the best. This will be all the time they’ll be getting to be in such high spirits after all.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1BpOkwLGF
An hour later, the bus arrived at a dirt clearing on a cliff overlooking the thick forest below. The class got out and stretched their legs. But something was amiss.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa5YhKDrBJ
First of all, where was the lodge?
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbKDtiOkKF
Second, where was class B?
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqoriWkRsA
Sensing their questions, Aizawa spoke up.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm28sUJReT
Aizawa: “This would all be pretty meaningless without some goal, so… ”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vU9X6D1tf
Pixie-Bob: “Yooooooo, Eraserhead!! You haven’t contacted us in a while!”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZIKCOJzAk
Mandalay: “Lock on target with our sparkly eyes!”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0jnRTpa25
Pixie-Bob: “While our cute, cute stingers sting!”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv30IuHknt
Mandalay & Pixie-Bob: “Wild Wild Pussy Cats!!”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvaY3LMEmP
They exclaim while performing a practiced cute pose.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0wkK3Eysr
Aizawa: “The pro heroes who’ll be looking after you lot are the members of the ‘Pussycats’.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYHafIY27V
Kiri: “Cat Lady!”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3xpHRL4mL
And so the pose was momentarily broken by Pixie-Bob nearly tripping.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1Jr7UL8ax
Pixie-Bob: “Kiri, I thought I said to call me Pixie-Bob!”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZEe1yPXqM
Mandalay: “Haha.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi6T3IodO2
Uraraka: “Wait, you know them?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPLmHj13YW
Momo: “Personally?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIMnEb09uo
Kiri: “Nh. I-”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIqScwWhXX
Pixie-Bob: “We took care of her before she was adopted by the Midoriyas!”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPPKEqNf65
Mandalay: “Yeah!”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iIWc93f7J
It was then that Kiri realized what she almost revealed. In order to explain her relation to them, she would have to explain her true nature to everyone.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtyehJB3xo
Kiri: “R-Right.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYOEiaX7Hq
She looks to Aizawa, who gives a slight nod. It seems like the backstory was discussed beforehand, in case Kiri almost spilled something.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOx4eKDj9H
Everyone bought the lie, all except Momo. The girl edged closer to her partner and whispered-
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTyInslFlH
Momo: “Does this have to do with you-know-what?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw55yKpXYoI
Kiri: “Nh.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWncjOQcZAS
Momo: “Does Izu know?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV5r4owXRD
Shockingly, she hasn’t told him. But to be fair, there was always something more important to discuss.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nFAhSZoqn
Kiri: “No.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe8T4GqqjX
Momo: “Bad girl.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzpGb4SBvG
For unknown reasons, a blush escaped Kiri’s cheeks as her breath hitched.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDXe8t63cy
Kiri: “E-Explain later.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4vpGriAoE
Momo: “Looking forward to it.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9qFBIuc2z
As the two separate, the pro heroes go on to explain what’s going to happen. But Izuku was the only one not paying attention.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85XeZzZBgq
He didn’t gush about the new pro heroes and didn’t notice his girls whispering. Instead, his eyes twitched with annoyance.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeXHFEuWnl
The Ninth: “^&(#)!”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cZmDhIJyA
The Fourth: “M*(@..”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3LxsjnfFM
The only reason why he isn’t tearing out his hair from the fact the two of them want both pro heroes now, is because of The Fourth’s tone. It sounded… less happy with the choice. As if… it already had one in mind but was willing to settle. In fact, it sounded like how The Third sounded…
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLZQxL1hD6
Enough was enough.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoBtffn1xD
Izuku: “What’s going on? I want to know.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWtR7xuJHb
Silence.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4b5np8SR5
Izuku: “… Cecelyne.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyXwAAF2o3
Invoking the law keeper, the truth was laid bare, and Phoenix was the one to deliver.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7DuCbfyph
Phoenix: “You are doing well with your abilities, Midoriya. They didn’t think it wise to… upset you.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQdVZK2hrx
Izuku: “What are you talking about?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ClzUiocQw
Phoenix: “The Fourth and The Second already found their perfect Apostle, while The Third found an adequate one.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlTDrtpNEY
Izuku: “So that’s why they felt similar. But why would The Fourth and The Second hide-”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyTXMbiW0V
It didn’t take long for Izuku to guess why they didn’t tell him right away.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46fm2f6zA5
Izuku: “I know them? But I already asked Tokoyami and will ask Kanto and her friends eventually, so why-”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C5i4FPR95
Then it clicked. There are only two groups of people Izuku would hate to ask. The first group are villains, for obvious reasons. The second… they confirmed his feelings when they declared their names.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1kvqxdOqp
The Second desired Tatsumaki, and The Fourth desiredFubuki.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxeT6FXUij
It was only by sheer will and lucky timing that Izuku wasn’t the one to displace all the soil in the area.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pdygycloY
His eyes remained closed while his face stayed blank. The very idea that they wanted his sisters to go through even a millionth of what Shinso went though… it nearly made him relapse.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfYMHalVsD
But that wasn’t the solution.He knows that now.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmrQOCKZvC
Izuku: “You’ll be happy with the replacements?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55gLYiwQZl
The sensation of acceptance flooded the boy’s mind, and he sighed in relief.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgpimJidXw
Izuku: “Then I’ll ask them before this training camp ends. As for you, Second, I’ll find a replacement for Tatsu. Be patient. For now though… ”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVzeQmFmin
Before the little king hits the ground, he uses his quirk to stop his descent. Righting his angle, he lands on the grass and looks around the area before gazing up at the ruined cliffside.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9P9nVGkBs
After glancing at the nearby minds, he understood the situation.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89YGRcx6a2
Izuku: “So we have to reach the lodge by 12:30 or we won’t get lunch. Easy.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uNWSd6gze
He says that, but a rock monster roared out of the trees and charged him. But he wasn’t worried.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYARszRdPAO
Its legs were suddenly sliced in half. A second later, the beast returned to the dirt it was spawned from. Behind the dirt pile was Momo, standing tall in her black ninja cloak.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub19HDr4Lb
Momo: “Izu, we need to have a talk about whatever has gotten you so upset.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR002ZFJY3d
Izuku: ‘Haaah… I guess I should talk to her and Kiri about it.’
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zRuukcdbp
Before he can nod in acknowledgment, another monster suddenly slams its giant dirt fists on top of Momo. But again, Izuku wasn’t worried.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf0AEjxt5D
Momo was already gone. The next instant, its head was on the ground, and it soon joined its brother in the soil.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3circVTnO4
Izuku: “Good job, Momo.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM43UbnSrO1
Momo: “Thank you. But don’t think flattery will get you out of talking with me and Kiri.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdazz4R5wkY
Izuku: “Don’t worry, I’ll explain when we get to the lodge.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXXPB3ieqY
It was then that he noticed the other girl in question wasn’t around.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5O3h30y4f
Izuku: “Is Kiri ahead of us?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzMMbn63Yo
Momo: “Actually, she is still up there. I’m sure Sensei will throw her down here eventually.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58mu3lBbVh
Izuku: “But why is she up there?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9UMgDhsKV
Momo: “Just something else we have to discuss later. Come on, we’re already behind, and I for one don’t want to miss lunch.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwz92JqnKV
Izuku: “R-Right.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYP0s3aSKr
Giving one last glance toward the cliff, Izuku turns and joins Momo in the race toward the lodge.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aunlJUmch
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyD8E0Vqc7
Aizawa: “You know you have to join the others. You can catch up later.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62sHVDJyDm
Kiri managed to react in time and escape into the air. But unlike Bakugo, who managed to do the same, she stayed topside.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Y9F4V97J
Kiri: “Aw.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTRLIgi7GS
Pixie-Bob: “Don’t worry, Kiri, we’ll talk later.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaquus0aJJ
Mandalay: “Right, besides, you wouldn’t want to miss out on lunch. So go join your class.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZhv1uWnMn
Kiri: “… Nh.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0AFqSdToB
Unbeknownst to them, she didn’t stay behind just to catch up. No, it was the feeling she was getting from Mandalay. A heavy sense of worry and sadness. She managed to cover it well with smiles and work, but that didn’t fool Kiri.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzCGU6rgnN
But the question is, how can she help?
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUMrscvFUN
Kiri: ‘Not right time. Later. Need advice.’
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMz9HCESJc
Giving one last glance to her friend, Kiri reluctantly jumps down to join her class.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRAXn8UJYv
When she was gone, Pixie-Bob and Mandalay let masks fall.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVkHnMm7Fg
Pixie-Bob: “She probably knows something is wrong.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA1BGM1Rmx
Aizawa: “Still no sign of the kid?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cippNBQZW
Mandalay tries to answer, but tears threaten to slip out again. So instead, Pixie-Bob answered.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiG9EiugOl
Pixie-Bob: “No, but I know he didn’t… leave us during the Hosu incident. He’s out there somewhere. We just have to keep looking.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJTbC16qdi
Aizawa: “… I hope so.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7HCudIo5t
The duo refocus on the training camp, anything to escape the unpleasant idea that perhaps the boy… didn’t make it.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zgNXMf89S
Mandalay: ‘I should have never have taken him with us to Hosu. I should have never let him out of my sight.’
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoHTGCS8o7
She grips her arms enough to bruise, but the pain does nothing to distract her from the failure.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MuDq3A0Xr
Mandalay: ‘Kota… 77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g0FB26KO8
and then Add to home screen.
