Izuku gazed out the plane window and thought about how this all happened. It was a surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOy96aW2q4
The tournament finalists got 3 tickets to the artificial moving city inhabited by over 10,000 scientists, I-Island. Right on time for the I-Expo.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPFeC372Oq
Using that as a chance, All Might pulled some strings to get the whole class to join. This way, we’re not separated and can spend some of our suspension doing something fun and/or productive.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uh1JNqlyo
Izuku: ‘I’m sure someone there will be able to help Ida.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiahnSzyfd
While thinking on the past, the boy is distracted by the sound of something exploding across from his seat on the private plane.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eDgrKfxKc
Kaoru: “Can you not do that on a plane, you psycho!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1PKq4plQX
Due to finalists not being able to travel together, the groups had to be divided strategically. Izuku got to stay on a plane with Kaoru Akashi and-
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ97J6oMrWL
Mei: “You can’t expect me to not work on my babies for hours on end! I’d go crazy!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJJLzkvp8T
Kaoru: “Better crazy than dead!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLA7Pc8pvV
His class wasn’t the only one that was allowed on this trip. Good thing too, despite Hatsume’s eccentricities she is one of the best people to work on a new leg for Ida.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95zpnerfXl
Izuku smiles at Kaoru hanging over the back of her seat, bantering with the still tinkering Hatsume. It’s a bit of a shame he couldn’t spend time with Kiri or Momo instead.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VOJI6MwxW
But considering his feelings for them, maybe it’s for the best. Especially after what Kiri said before they left.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPHDparBi4
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsEqp1NNhl
Inko: “Have fun, you two!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADBQV9Q8ql
Their mother hugs Kiri and Izuku, making sure to squeeze enough love to make up for Tatsumaki and Fubuki’s absence.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBzwglXybc
Izuku: “We will, don’t worry.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp3kE705tI
Kiri: “Nh.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSjy8QQbJe
Inko: “It’s been a long time since I’ve been alone at home for a few days. I’ll miss you two.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXblqs21yGB
Izuku: “We’ll miss you too. And if you get lonely, I’m sure Fubuki or Tatsu will spend time with you.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkEkpogJmy
Inko: “I hope so… ”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRFqxUursp
Before they could worry too much about those two, Inko sent them off. Wouldn’t want them to miss their planes.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB0YiKDPs6
Along the way, the two made some small talk. Most notable being their partners on this trip.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DeDwdLEm7
Kiri: “Akashi and Hatsume. Two girls… ”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgWUld5Tkg
Izuku: “Tokoyami and Kirishima. Two guys.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowPVI46BVJ
Kiri: “Fair.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BVhFz8bRA
After a moment to collect her thoughts, Kiri stopped walking to declare her intentions.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA93JDqlGI
Izuku: “Kiri?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV0PUCpkbN
To his surprise, Kiri grabbed his shirt and claimed his lips. Like a woman who hasn’t drunk water in days, Kiri lapped up the pleasure, and Izuku returned in kind. But before they can do more, she backed off and took a breath.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf66hh82ti8
Izuku: “W-Why did you-”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg472MQ6ts
Kiri: “I don’t know if I was made to love you, to better protect you. But I want to love you. And I choose to.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJdJR5bPC3
Izuku: “That means… ”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabfJTupvUf
Kiri: “I’m not giving up. And… ”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hrGMzplZF
She whispers the last part in his ear.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTagGo6wb2
Kiri: “I heard what you did with Udders; I want my turn.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVPFWXDcGo
Leaving him to sit in the implications, Kiri bounced away towards her destination.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fIsUjWjCt
Izuku: “… Wow.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOm6KlE4pb
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfmnTMyE4S
Izuku: “Yeah, it’s for the best. Who knows what would have happened?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0KACXvQ5i
“Attention passengers. This plane will soon begin its descent to I-Island.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjdq05TXTw
Kaoru: “Finally! I think we might have been the last one.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPspl3Miu9f
Mei: “Oooh, I smell a new baby in the making! Making this plane fly faster will be a great challenge!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjEuKEfWss
Kaoru: “Midoriya, make her stop.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4ZOpd4ePL
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxExPJRylVy
The plane soon landed, and the trio exited wearing their hero gear. Well, Kaoru and Izuku did; Mei only needs her inventing clothes.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQU8TTWTiN
Izuku: “Wow, it’s even more beautiful than I thought.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw75avR3nd
The mobile island was massive. Despite the imposing walls that surround it, the actual island was gorgeous. There were four different cities, one in the middle, with three others at each point of a surrounding triangle.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkHtEfyqFX
Each city was surrounded by man-made lakes. Finally, near the edges of the inner ring-shaped barriers were dense forests. Truly, an isolated paradise with the styling of a theme park.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5GCOf8wET
After the trio went through the strict hi-tech customs, they decided to split up.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5PdaYFyop
Kaoru: “I’m going to look for Sabrina. Aoi and Shiho should be with her. I won’t get in trouble for flying, will I?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwWmxUZWvn
Izuku: “Nope, you can use your quirk freely here.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvQ78cUPUT
Kaoru: “Sweet! Later, Midoriya.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiDozdfH4p
As Kaoru flies off, Izuku notices that Hatsume has already wandered off. No doubt to sell her gear to scientists or learn something new from them.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3YROkjI3o
Izuku: “Well, guess that means I’m on my own.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkzQ6F5pB6
Just then, the boy noticed some commotion nearby.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ztf0st4xc
“W-Wait, ALL MIGHT!!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbfItk05p5
“The number one hero!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbHhfW0jqo
“We need an interview!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQoZdjCL7l
“Get closer!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXGJiisM0o
The boy sees All Might get swarmed by a bunch of people and reporters.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgnxGGIRqk
All Might: “AHAHAHAH! Thank you for such a warm welcome! Line up for autographs!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmCK8hUREN
Izuku smiles at the sight and goes to leave; that is, until he runs into Tsuyu and Ida.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUtijsTJPc
Izuku: “Gah! Where did you two come from?!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyavWHhshx
Tsuyu: “Escaped before the swarm, kero.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTBPQkFusg
Izuku: “I see.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3gUxpmIGE
The boy couldn’t help but notice Ida’s current condition. Right now, he is in a wheelchair being pushed by Tsuyu. His expression is neutral and blank, but despite that, Izuku can see some hope in his eyes. This place is one of the most scientifically advanced areas on the planet; if they can’t help Ida, no one can.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVXdvmq4sT
Izuku: “So, do you want to wait together until they’re done?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zd8j526pi
Ida: “No choice. All Might knows where our hotel is.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4Hm8Fk6bq
Tsuyu nods to confirm Ida’s words. Understanding the situation, Izuku waited with the two until All Might was finished. It didn’t take long for the silence to become awkward. Thankfully, Tsuyu did have something she wanted to say. She just needed a moment.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LkMBJLmyW
Tsuyu: “Midoriya?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjuIZk32rc
Izuku: “Yeah?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKRGq8kimw
Tsuyu: “I… I’m sorry for what I did before… at the amusement park.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXboy08aapU
The boy recalls that time so long ago when Tsuyu was filled with fear because of him.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfum316B88t
Izuku: “O-Oh, it’s fine. It was my fault anyway; I’m… better now.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3aO2v7w8k
She shakes her head.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07lFQqAeXP
Tsuyu: “It’s not your fault, kero. I didn’t know what came over me.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sb0kILdiZ
Izuku: ‘And you don’t need to know.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo5dqPrGwT
Ida: “All Might is coming.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ZqTsIbSn
The two refocused on the present as All Might appeared with several lipstick marks.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL82Ia37tX
All Might: “I didn’t think I’d be stopped that long. Sorry for that.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggvqtnirVw
Tsuyu: “It’s alright, kero.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkmSDS9RMj
Izuku: “Hi, All Might.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21GjjAfx7M
All Might: “Glad to see you, young Midoriya. Once I’m done with young Ida and checking up with an old friend, I need to speak with you and young Yaoyorozu.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFk0kTNaeP
The boy should’ve known there would be something happening. He sighs and nods. Before those out of the loop could ask about anything, the group heard a boing sound. Looking up over the nearby stairs, they watch as a blond girl bounces down to them with a pogo stick.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVpyUAhJzM
Eventually, she got closer to jump off the stick and into All Might’s waiting arms.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnmwTTJkRW
“Uncle Might!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlecbLA4tV
All Might: “Melissa! You’ve gotten so big!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2WP9iJnk3
He says while happily spinning her around.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3HWHIElJH
Melissa: “It’s been so long! I’m so glad you came!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPdH0ayi69
All Might: “Wouldn’t miss it for the world! But I almost didn’t recognize you.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1JK9BsOe7
Melissa: “Well, I am seventeen now. I’m pretty heavy now, huh?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafU7Mq5BR8
All Might: “Not at all!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtpxTdrtJV
He laughed again while playfully throwing her a little into the air to prove his words. After that, he let her down. Meanwhile, Ida and Izuku sported bewildered looks, shocked at the close relationship. As for Tsuyu, her expression was the same, but you can tell she appreciates the warmth.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3oqOJQ9my
Melissa: “I’m glad to see you’re well. Sorry I was a bit late. I was really caught up with an experiment and lost track of time.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSwgG4Fx1O
All Might: “Oh, it’s not a big deal, Melissa! I was busy getting mobbed, after all. AHAHAHAH!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ5DEuvQ8Z
The hero turned to Ida and pointed his hand towards him.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1FyLPx0zG
All Might: “Here is young Ida, the one I was telling you about over the phone.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoucsqcdSM
Melissa: “Oh! Nice to meet you, I’m Melissa Shields. My father is a good friend of All Might.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgaACUMpTb
She offers her hand, and he takes it after a while.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTVeqyrp55
Ida: “H-Hello, I’m Tenya Ida. T-Thank you… for trying to help me.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqfwjtXsbF
Melissa: “Don’t worry, I’m on the case. Sorry my father can’t help too; he has his own project to work on. But, apparently, your group brought me some help.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj26mHLjTZV
Izuku: “Yes, Mei Hatsume and Momo Yaoyorozu. I don’t know where they are at the moment.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTrwEO5H8H
Melissa: “Don’t worry, I’ll find them. Meanwhile, I’d like to know more about you three.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fOutT8CNQ
She goes to shake Izuku’s hand and then Tsuyu’s, both giving her their full names.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kh6pgIJLk
All Might: “Well, you all have fun. I’ll go and pay your father a visit. Here is the hotel key and location.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFey7QEPP2
He hands the information and item to Tsuyu before leaving. The group waved All Might goodbye as he hurried towards the central tower of the island.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkfyruVm0G
Melissa: “Now then, let me give you a tour. I’m sure we’ll run into your friends eventually. After that, we can properly start on the Engine Project.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyxYVI9Jhg
The group followed Melissa as she showed the amazing sights of the island. The one most geeking out was Izuku, who knew just how much it would take to build all of this.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zt8JtvnSo
Izuku: “Whoa, this place is amazing! I can’t believe the whole island is man-made; it’s nuts.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2ZAnLK611
Tsuyu: “Look.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Msn7fybhK
Izuku: “No way!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBLrm4QzF4
The group looks towards the group of people crowding around another famous hero.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lSoHy607t
Izuku: “It’s the Monster Hero: Godzillo!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPltW0EelE
Tsuyu: “My brother loves his movies, kero.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrfvLIx7GW
Izuku: “Me too!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgFTbUqQAW
Melissa: “Nice, I bet a sponsor flew him out there for the expo.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsskcbfx20
Izuku: “Yeah, I heard it’s pretty expensive to sponsor someone. My sister actually used that system to fly Emory here too. I wanted her to bring Shinso too, but it was too much.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B4jIbzyin
Izuku: ‘At least I convinced Aizawa to help train him.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsiibRiM52
Melissa: “I heard that Blizzard was loaded. Didn’t know she was that well-off. Oh, look!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQYROEze8d
While walking, she points to a nearby building. But whatever was inside could wait; Ida stopped the group.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RuU2eFxUq
Ida: “If you don’t mind, I’d like to rest in my room. I’ve seen enough.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg5srqhDOE
The three look at him with worry, and it only makes him feel worse. He… doesn’t deserve this.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt0M2pAacN
Izuku: “Are you sure?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD96cnmO0QG
Ida: “Yes. Tsuyu, you don’t have to push me. I can handle it.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYFbzTuCz8
She shakes her head and keeps her hands on the back of the wheelchair.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO5kDVOVgB
Tsuyu: “It’s fine. I want to help.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuEYqKhZtC
The boy’s shoulders slump, understanding he can’t change her mind.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLOQ3wq2b1
Ida: “Alright. T-Thank you.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcb16f5SYV
Melissa: “Well, if you’re sure, then we’ll see you later. I’ll keep you updated on the Engine Project.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUavrxpmlFy
He simply nods before being pushed in another direction by Tsuyu.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qlQosUvRZ
Izuku: “Ida… ”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuL8G99onB
Melissa: “Uncle Might didn’t give me all the details. Who did this to him?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKUiqxzs2A
Izuku: “A… villain. But Ida blames himself because he put himself in the situation.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiKo3xZviZ
Melissa: “Why?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavpKDB4zT4
Izuku: “To avenge his brother.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIMG5IsS3w
Melissa: “Wait, so the Hero Killer did that?!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup9SZFRuvz
Izuku: ‘So his name reaches even here…’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNoIBcfRzP
Izuku: “He was involved but not the main cause. Anyway, it’s not important. As long as Ida can get a new leg and become a hero.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz5yae8w41
Melissa: “Of course, don’t worry. Like I said, I’m the case. But right now, let’s continue the tour. I’m sure we’ll run into one of my helpers I’ve heard so much about.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GFUjREJuT
Izuku: “Yeah… ”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LCXRASGKR
Izuku: ‘It’s also a good way to focus on something less heavy.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABJL79krgA
The duo entered the building Melissa pointed to before, and the sight helped ease their nerves. The soft blue lights and the diverse hero item selection.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpGqAFDOjD
Izuku’s inner geek wanted to burst out and cheer at the displays. But he just didn’t feel like it right now.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgy9CMPYxp
Melissa: “Midoriya, look at this one!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiCRIyINMx
Didn’t mean the girl wasn’t going to try and lighten the mood. She points to some sort of high-tech air vehicle. Looks high-speed if the holographic video above the display was anything to go by.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yh36q7W6u
Melissa: “This multipurpose Beagle can fly like a jet, of course, but it can also move underwater!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3mACxeIFm
Izuku: “That’s… that’s… so cool!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSu4IctlTY
Melissa: “Haha, I’m glad you think so. Come on, there is something I want to show you.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWOrvFBp5c
She grabs his hand and leads him to another display. This one was of a special diving suit.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRge9oD6uB
Melissa: “You can wear this diving suit and drop seven thousand meters in the ocean.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cF9hOKKMx
Izuku: “So deep!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitQLDTGCD5
Next, Melissa takes him to a booth where he can try out some support gear.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4i0Wa5x6q
Melissa: “This helmet is equipped with 36 different sensors so you can see all around your body.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1vDw7B7dc
Izuku: “Um, I actually can do that already. Sort of.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbXVIwNdj9
Melissa: “Oh… ”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkuKxAfATR
Izuku: “S-Still cool though! Let’s go to the next one!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAalDMY6Nah
The duo continued to explore and relax in the display hall. But it doesn’t entirely work; seeing all these support items gets Melissa thinking.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufAPnxRF5y
Melissa: “You know, almost everything here was created based on inventions Papa patented.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIb5qxJu5x
Izuku: “Wow, I bet you’re proud of him.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jGTJmygKX
Izuku: ‘Wish I could say the same.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvokVTafq0o
Melissa: “Yep. Each of these support items will help heroes around the world. I hope I can add to his legacy with the Engine Project. So… I want to say thanks for trusting me with it.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ez9KGm0eE
Izuku: “N-No, no, you don’t have to thank me. All Might was the one who recommended you.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy6rmjGPRm
Melissa: “But Ida is your friend, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want someone you don’t trust working on him.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkYUFqfgXI
Izuku: “I guess… you’re right.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1OkJwStcF
Melissa: “So, thanks again. I won’t let you down.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFRvT6Erlv
The boy nods and gives her a reassuring smile.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ9s1ZCZ2G
Izuku: “I know you won’t.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAyolHN8YW
As the two give each other bright smiles, Izuku suddenly feels a chill creep up his spine.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AZnOjHKhB
Kiri: “Having fun?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPfC7Jfqcd
The boy freezes for a second before slowly turning to face his blank-faced sister.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAhpAE4h9T
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVgXuEiR4O
Momo: “Ahem. You appear to be having a good time.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1UbaN9HMt
Izuku: “Momo, too?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuwc7lScqW
Jiro: “Midoriya, how’s it going?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj9Qtsk163
Izuku: “Even, Jiro? Okay, everyone calm down.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h19vYkw63
Kiri: “We are perfectly calm.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHhJN5LrtE
Momo: “Very.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErzKvwPqkQ
Melissa: “Are these your friends?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE1WPjmkt5
Izuku: “Um, y-yeah, these are my classmates.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzjEEeNtho
Izuku: ‘Let’s not bring up how two of them are more than that at the moment. One of whom is my sister, sort of. Time to change subjects.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM45vYjTLb
Izuku: “In fact, Momo here is one of the people who will help you in the Engine Project.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmfGFhopVs
Melissa: “Oh! I knew we’d run into each other eventually. Nice to meet you.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3cF9poRcr
Momo, not seeing anything really wrong, sighs and shakes Melissa’s offered hand.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L7soFvB2S
Momo: “Likewise.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWp7tTuMjX
Melissa: “So what’s your quirk? I heard it’s incredible.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshqKzd4l9j
Momo: “Well, I can create things.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOkdh6hWzV
To prove this, she holds her arm out and produces a matryoshka doll painted exactly like Melissa. The other girl quickly caught the doll as it popped out of Momo’s skin.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5JhfcI8eH
Melissa: “Oh my goodness! That’s amazing! No wonder you were put on the project. I can’t wait to meet my other partner.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf1lLvoWeY
Momo: “Well, she is certainly… a character.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskjp6uSUY2
Melissa: “My gosh, I already have so many ideas. With you, I could even upgrade your hero costumes if you’d want. Instant production would cut down on time substantially.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfNd1ZP5f6
Momo: “Hahaha, you’re just like Izuku when he nerds out.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQO3DqPkMf
Kiri: “Nh.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeefDwFjv83
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzJc2pPinl
Jiro: “I’m starting to feel like a third wheel.”

Melissa: “Well, we can’t have that. I actually have some ideas in my head regarding your quirk specifically.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn56Cx1Ozcm
Jiro: “Huh? W-Why?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf8nXbypXR
Melissa: “I didn’t have time to see the whole tournament, but I did see your match, and I was fascinated by your sonic gun.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lkHzjr7Ue
Jiro: “W-Well… Momo made that so-”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2MJPYwLo6
Melissa: “Even more reason for us to discuss this over some tea. Follow me.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW7mJ3BD2O
Caught in her wave of excitement, the group let Melissa lead them out of the building. While the girl talked, Kiri stayed a bit back with Izuku.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiulyuXiR0M
Kiri: “Love rival?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AxY6wTffP
Izuku: “O-Of course not! We’re just friends. Her father is David Shield, All Might’s friend.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06mSObqcWs
Kiri: “I see. That’s good. After all, you still owe me.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nb04oq0fu
Izuku: “I…uh…”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81JE30pyR0
Giving in, Izuku just sighs and nods. The sight puts a smile on Kiri’s face. Eventually, the group makes it to an outdoor cafe area.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmk9RZizd8
Melissa: “Wow, you all really got to work with pro heroes!? Like on the field?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaGQO4JFPy
Kiri: “Nh. Fun.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx8cuijHtU
Momo: “Until it wasn’t it.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2DpR79Y3x
Melissa: “Yeah, I heard. I’m sorry you all had to go through such a horrifying experience.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHmOiUrtMQ
Jiro: “Well, I wasn’t really there so… ”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkEjjWy4BZ
Momo: “I’m glad you weren’t there, Kyoka. It was stressful as is.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdroZkVCpZr
Jiro: “Still, I wish I could have been there to help.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMsm7vcWi5
Kiri: “Might happen. So prepare.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoD34KsCEU
Melissa: “Right! So, about those support gear upgrades I was talking about.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwxYKbEpCW
Izuku starts to tune out the girl talk happening at the other table and focus on his drink.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZm8rDcpHn
Denki: “Thanks for waiting.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oqmRQEloS
Izuku: “Thanks for the drink, Kaminari. Still surprised you decided to work on break.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUDXVNQVHz
Denki: “Well, they need the extra staff, and they pay, so I thought, why not? I even managed to convince Tokoyami to help out.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEns3J8jveC
He points his thumb to another table being served by a Tokoyami in a clean-cut suit. Despite his bird appearance, the girls he’s serving seem to like him. If the
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RMnoyfUNX
Denki: “Might give Todoroki a run for his money at this right. Who would have guessed?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHo22I18H0
Izuku: “Speaking of, where is he?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHndZsCC2C6
Just then, a large explosion was heard far in the distance. It was strong enough to shake the ground a bit. Worried about it, the group quickly made their way to the source.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf7VZCAQ2O
Izuku was the first one to arrive and see what appears to be some sort of battle arena.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScEIdIU0rA
“A clearance time of 28 seconds. He’s in seventh place.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRUuqBQaUg
On top of a small rocky mountain was Kirishima smiling after defeating several robots scattered about.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94P8X47jXj
Kiri: “That’s where Rocky went.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgWLkvXbmU
The boy turned around to see the rest of his friends arriving on the scene.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v0jyL2Ed5
Melissa: “So I’m guessing that’s another U.A student as well?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqjNDvBoif
Izuku: “Yeah, he’s from our class too.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ak2MvdePn
“Now, welcome our next challenger!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MNzSZi4Ox
The group looks down to see Bakugo walking towards the starting area with a determined gaze.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0rpPfNgvT
“The villain attack force has been reset! Ready… go!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUZP6N5Ojv
As soon as the words were spoken, Bakugo blasted off like a rocket. Every robot was taken out with a single blow in rapid succession.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnZA1shfp6
Bakugo: “DIE!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHJl4O80hS
Melissa: “Die?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYazAqhS7VR
Izuku: “It’s his catchphrase, don’t worry about it?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkVDexLbEU
“Look at that time! Only 10 seconds, he’s in first place.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCOImrlzvD
Kaoru: “Booo! I demand a recount! Boooo!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy9GetPun6
Apparently, Izuku’s group wasn’t the only one here. Not far away, sitting in the audience, were Kaoru and her friends.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hh3pvoqlJ
Izuku: “You guys, you participated too?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMfRp2TxxL
Aoi: “Only Kaoru and Sabrina did. Kaoru got first place with 12 seconds, which is why she is mad.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLOMnLO0sG
Kaoru: “I can’t believe I lost to that jerk.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ601nwRBYdP
Kiri: “I thought Scary Eyes or Flash would be first.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQZ7AzM5yA
Sabrina: “My range is not as good as Kaoru’s. Still got third with 15 seconds.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3uT8yVhhh
Aoi: “If I’m Flash, then it’s because I want everyone else to go first.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ531NNmk59m
Kiri: “Confident?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazpE40MPtL
Aoi: “Of course.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQZMTsOGAI
Melissa: “Wow, Midoriya, you have a lot of colorful friends.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2VKMIVKpb
Izuku: “Yeah, I’m lucky to know them.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLvOhG32GI
Bakugo: “Deku!!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX52UMEMKkX
The boy turned just in time to see Bakugo jump onto the rails and glare at him. Tensions rise as the two refuse to break eye contact.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjFcvBzmsi
Melissa: “What’s up with those two?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mzZgE1n7b
Momo: “Let’s just say they have history.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb9Kcz2Nup
Kiri: “Ugh.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq3aZMO70R
Bakugo: “Why are you here, Deku!? I know you’re not here trying to beat my score.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DmjewhPEf
Izuku: “N-No, I was just checking what caused that loud noise.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9IbyOuF2k
Bakugo: “Tch, I should’ve known you’d back out of this too. You don’t deserve to be here, Deku!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL5CnlSgxF
Izuku: “Are you still on about that?! By that logic, you don’t deserve to be here either!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLsnjcW2yb
Before either could say anything more, a surprise cooled them down.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPA69zkfkq
Uraraka: “Bakugo, didn’t you say you were going to watch my attempt?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoL9QVUWZD
The duo turned to see Uraraka, who’s about ready to jump down to the starting area.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqvX6ZZy5Y
Bakugo: “Hah!? I didn’t say that, round face!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT2rlwXibV
Uraraka: “Then you’ll miss how I’ll break your record.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzwEHbIsgm
Bakugo: “There’s no way that’s happening!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIClFfLMdz
Deciding this was more important, Bakugo jumped over the rail just as Uraraka did. Izuku could only stare in awe.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlTWSyxiqf
Izuku: ‘How did she do that?’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhL6JhP81H
Denki: “Oh? Does Bakugo have a soft spot for Uraraka?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpTRtbe45E
Kirishima: “Hahaha!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fjDtdwsEB
Bakugo: “Hah!?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCT7zP3dGA
Before the boy could correct that misinformation with a bomb in the face, the round started. Uraraka brought what seemed to be floating debris tethered to grappling hooks from her gauntlets.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYnuMUy6wM
When the countdown started, she spun around fast and released the tethered debris, firing it at the stationed robots. When their weight was restored, they shot off like bullets.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeDP1r85tX
All of the robots were torn apart, and the time was called.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqZ4AbIs2W
“Excellent showing! Clear time, 11 seconds!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtpkwDjILW
Uraraka: “Aw, man! So close.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlbuFHptoc
Kaoru: “No way, I’m third now?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw65NDTCMO
Sabrina: “Impressive.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTVj3LUCuj
Bakugo said nothing and doesn’t seem to have reacted to it. But Izuku could tell; he has been around Kacchan long enough to notice the slight smile.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtNSwMzJTc
Izuku: ‘He really is changing… but… for some reason.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85u2O56Ecw
I don’t like it.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwd2lCrlRy
Uraraka: “You’re turn, Midoriya.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwjXa3fXjb
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9JsT4d5jO
Kirishima: “Yeah, we want to see what you can do.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIqWhTE5uQ
Bakugo: “Tch, like he could beat round face’s score, let alone mine!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqPKyKvoox
Izuku: “… Fine.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IUJWqYhrx
As Izuku floats downcast, Aoi sighs.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbhLaCjYFZ
Aoi: “I shouldn’t have waited. I doubt I can beat his score.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyn7y0CSzw
Kaoru: “Huh?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjK0fxE9QM
“We got another challenger! Today is just full of surprises. But what is this?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ewIoOnfCV
Instead of standing, Izuku sits on the ground in a meditative state and closes his eyes.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlXWHW2iTq
“Um… are you ready?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1FOzCaNX1
Izuku: “Yes.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVvYXQIKN2
“Well… okay… start!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8tLRSIUbB
The second the first syllable left the announcer’s mouth, Izuku’s body erupted in green. Every single bot on the course started to glow and then rapidly flew from their hiding places. After that, they were smashed into each other, creating a jagged metal sphere. Finally, Izuku slammed the result into the ground.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LaIwbGt4N
All without moving an inch.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBOlSwkinZ
“AMAZING! Seven seconds! SEVEN SECONDS! Two seconds away from our ALL-TIME RECORD!
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLj4ZgOWpt
The boy breathed in and out before floating back up to the stands.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ovCQvgMG0
Kiri: “As expected.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM66BcPLA6
Kirishima: “Way to go, man!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxNziC4bLv
Karou: “Ugh, I have to get better at sensing things; I could have done that too!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaokSFIYNw
Bakugo: “Tch! I’m going again and blowing that score to ash!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaqytWllGU
“SIX SECONDS!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkN1WsMq95
The whole group turns to see who beat Izuku’s score, and it was none other than Todoroki. The whole small mountain was frozen over.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnLn9V8u3X
Denki: “Yep, should have seen that coming.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kwH7rEyzC
Bakugo: “Him again!?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtGjP6rY9a
Melissa: “Another one from U.A? You guys are amazing! You’re all going to be great heroes.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9PdRM6U3s
Momo: “You’re too kind.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oIEgU9Tct
“Due to the state of the area, we will only allow one more challenger.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9psTUqsVv
Bakugo: “Me!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yISeUnqh4
“No retries.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvyfARIz8N
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Xz0gJ5V7
Kirishima: “Maybe next time, Bakugo.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyg3WRe6O1
Izuku: “So, who’s going?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI1cqk72vZ
Jiro: “Not interested. I don’t want to embarrass myself.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevcEMJeRMY
Kiri: “Boring.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpe9E9PkmF
Aoi: “I lost my chance. I can’t beat six seconds.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Oe7Ajjol
Shiho: “I want to see what Yaoyorozu can do.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UQs1dUbM8
Momo: “M-Me?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadwND9nyZW
Melissa: “Oh, yeah! Me too! I want to see your quirk in action.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJMjU7jckb
Shiho: “And I heard that you’ve gotten stronger; I’m curious.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2NBXhCMko
Momo: “I-I don’t think I can beat six seconds either.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvNHtUp21Z
Izuku: “You don’t have to. Just… have fun.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptzKnq73tX
Kiri: “Like Rocky.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7wpKN3xp7
Kirishima: “Yeah, it’s a good test of your current skill too.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9ld99pBf4
Momo: “I… alright! I won’t disappoint you all.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeoU61HKRm
Momo vaulted the rail, landing down below.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8usZ70fSrN
"And here’s our last challenger for this evening! Are you ready?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysaAj62tlk
Momo nodded, set her feet, and brought up One For All. Her veins glowed before she sparked with red lightning. She jerked her arm, and a polearm came out, which she held in a loose, ready position.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9lJaisK0v
"GO!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYNbLGDT9J
Momo exploded forward at her current maximum of 5%. Three steps had her already up to the first plateau, and her naginata sliced the bot cleanly in half.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21cMmaUH0h
The force behind it was so great that the rock beneath it cracked as well. Her naginata glowed red as Momo utilized her Quirk, stabbing it into the ground and growing it rapidly to fling herself at the next bot.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vYOGAnyX6
As the naginata was absorbed back into her body, her momentum propelled her into the next bot with a dropkick. Her feet planted into its chest and shot it backward into another villain, knocking both of them off the mountain.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4e97ZHenB
Momo quickly rolled back to her feet and soared into the sky. She created a bow, and this thing looked mean.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxCgrNYDh4
The construction of this thing put every bow from history to shame and required some extreme strength to even draw the string. Then there was the arrow; it looked like it was made for hunting dragons.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08ISIf3zTR
Momo took aim at the bot in the water and loosed the arrow. It flew so fast a shockwave rippled around it. Without even bothering to watch her shot hit, Momo used the momentum from it to turn herself around and made a second arrow. This one looked futuristic and was covered in strange bumps.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMCiSEYx4r
She loosed the arrow, and it looked like she'd overshot. Instead, when it passed overhead of the cluster of remaining bots, the arrow detonated, flinging shrapnel around and shredding the final enemies.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq4P1Xf9mJ
All the while, Melissa had been marveling at Momo's performance.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOJ7jIvpKm
Melissa: 'Amazing. What destructive strength! But is it just me, or…'
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp6wm670QO
"Another amazing performance! The time is 12 seconds, tying with one of our former first placers.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A7SahHTik
Momo smiled, waving at the crowd as she leapt back up to the stands.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVQP9ta0Pl
Kiri: “Well done.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL8ahzUklm
Izuku: “Way to go, Momo. You might not have gotten first place, but you looked the coolest.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0xk7O8NZD
Momo: “Thank you!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHxeOTMyb0
Melissa waited after everyone who wanted to gave their congrats and left to do their own thing. Those remaining were Izuku, Kiri, Momo, Jiro, and herself.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8iFhyhtqn
Melissa: “Excuse me, but I have a question.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIJu55mivA
Momo: “Yes?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCkgstLUaH
Melissa: “What was the draw on that bow? It was quite big.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj50CSKC47
Momo: “Um… fifteen hundred kilograms.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjVnOHduvh
She says with a slight blush.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUj0EGSkxx
Melissa: “Really! You must have a strength quirk as well.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRUp3V4XGc
Momo: “Well… no I-”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkF9JXIkJg
Jiro: “Yeah, I was wondering about that too, Momo. What was all that red lightning and sudden increase of strength?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYFXuMjeyx
Momo: “I-”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4qgxZi1QR
Izuku: “Just say your quirk evolved.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOMVOkm5Hh
Momo: “Are you sure that will work?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1DWm9E0e9
Izuku: “It has to. Maybe Melissa can know, but not Jiro. I’m sorry.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm4cMRiPDQ
The girl sighed and agreed to the telepathic plan.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo1LQHbFtm
Momo: “M-My quirk evolved, and I’m a bit stronger. It’s a side effect of my increased ability to create things. It happened during the internship.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6ou7n5Z1j
Jiro: “Oh, that makes sense. Congrats.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOeT5ZGumV
Melissa: “I see, I guess that works.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInotdCNPYZ
Kiri: “Engine Project.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h31ACacVg
Melissa: “R-Right! I thought we would have run into my other partner by now. I guess we have to search a bit harder now.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTjzDai60C
Izuku: “Thanks, Kiri.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZaRx3tNp3
Kiri: “Nh.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuvqp16r5g
Momo: “I have no idea where that girl could-”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlnW5RyKpQ
Mei: “There you all are! See, I told you I knew where they would be.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1GXYQLjyZ
Jiro: “Speak of the mechanical devil.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5EgoMRxPi
The group turned to Mei, who was walking toward them. But she wasn’t alone. There was a young boy with her, one with pure red hair and a soft smile.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2IhNPmZ31
For whatever reason, Izuku felt something off about him. Despite that, he doesn’t show his discomfort.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKOKQOQEpn
Mei: “Let me show you someone who appreciates my babies almost as much as me, Soma Kageyama.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxrW0KfEhS
Izuku: “Wow, you remember his name?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZfY0xGBPr
Soma ignored everyone else and went straight for Izuku. He offered his hand and smiled.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFF96M5FqU
Soma: “Nice to finally meet you, Izuku Midoriya.”
