And so time passed for the students suspended.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNEAOOODlP
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0HEgwxo5W
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlWhBesNjF
But now?
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXyVZEMTgM
Izuku is confident he can face them.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNrDT3hoJw
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ml9oAzxJL
Aizawa: “Welcome back, problem children.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwjR9Na0NI
The teacher said in front of the restored class. After catching up with each other, the class resumed as usual. Like they never left.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDJIoFGWes
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p8zMllEVN
The whole class erupted in cheers. A forest lodge, even in winter, means hot baths, fireworks, and good food.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpd8VRMeAM
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEsp2HmYZ9
And that’s when the cheers slowly died down as the words sunk in.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58YLibkgDR
Denki: “I haven’t studied at aaaalll!! With the sport festival, workplace experience, training, and I-Island, I never stopped to properly study!!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8m7WJCtkM
Tokoyami: “Indeed.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfCRR6vOpD
Mina: “Ah hahaha, me neither.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt6BwNtIQD
Says the 14/15, 10/15, and 13/15 students when it comes to grades. As for the bottom…
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeAcskh6K1
Kiri: “Ugh.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFC1xm38Hy
15/15.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUoRJLPQI7
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHN9t7nubt
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri, I’ll help you study.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEYwowuiL2
8/15.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfDn8sRQEu
Denki: “How?! You were suspended!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQzfdUhUeJ
Izuku: “I studied when I could and asked Aizawa for the work I missed. I couldn’t do everything, but it helped.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ko4Fpzj2D
Ida: “Bravo, Midoriya! Bravo! I did the same!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B9y6oXLGO
5/15.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiE5e3gdvw
Denki: “Seriously!?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy4Yr4zcqz
Mina: “You think that’s impressive? Look at Yaomomo.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFcvYzDO1E
Momo: “Haha.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6I7Epu7iv
2/15.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGZgsS1z4e
Denki: “Missed days, and she still gets top scores. That’s insane.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qeMLgd8Vz
Todoroki: “You were actually in class; you shouldn’t be getting failing grades.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ680d1UjEPk
3/15.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAWy8MZjcV
Denki: “Mind your words!!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZZdT9WX7e
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplLwrzHB2c
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.’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxmrskDeXY
Thinking back on what caused this to happen, the boy’s eyes darken.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqfIWGpB47
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.’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHrADMAV45
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ6IAdPDxv
Aizawa: “Enough.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3K9YAqyih
Everyone stopped talking and returned back to front.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SckMbMqxP
Aizawa: “If you don’t want to fall behind, you should take initiative like those suspended. If you have to, create a study group.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4oCKnaPvO
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kQN7MYRS2
Izuku: “Yeah, that sounds good.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRMTHPlGn1
Kiri: “Nh.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YvFGgWIov
Jiro: “Really? Thanks, Momo.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF2OIYQtJC
Mina: “Yaomomo, you’re a lifesaver!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprKVJfInFl
Kirishima: “Yeah, let’s do our best, everybody!! For the Forest Lodge!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfBWgqmVGl
Everyone: “For Forest Lodge!!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD74njGsn9
Aizawa: “Quiet.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKclJS2FYke
…
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdQhhLtfQ2
…
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjdJ9WwHAd
Aizawa: “You all still have normal classwork to deal with first. So let’s begin.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgQftyH5Fm
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vSx0cLvsc
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdWpDH5TMm
Melissa: “Hey, everyone.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm9xWItrD8
After everyone gave their own form of hello to the girl they met on their recent adventure, Izuku asked the first important question.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4opJtt27TQ
Izuku: “How are you liking U.A?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmA5tdwcHQ
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AU4UUByfH
Ida: “I’m happy to hear it. Thank you and Yaoyorozu again for everything you’ve done.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAHvIxNiBY
Melissa: “No, it’s fine. I’m happy to help.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCeVutnE99
Momo: “I feel the same. I’m just glad you can be a hero again.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSdwSUHy3w
Denki: “Yeah! It’s great to see you back in action, man.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55usVzLikq
Kiri: “Nh.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx2iuH6ziD
Ida: “You’re all too kind, thank you.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyykLdAUZIs
Melissa: “I’m glad to see our Engine Project is working so well. But I hope we did enough for your upcoming exams.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsgF6dfUIA
Ida: “I’m confident you did.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH3Gi2R2ij
Izuku: “But it is worrying that we can’t know what will be on the practical test exercise.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpSa50mWo6
Ida: “Nothing too wild, I would think.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJjbwJvd6y
Deciding to join the growing conversation, Uraraka and some of the other girls nearby chipped in.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0je69OSLh
Uraraka: “We can still pull it off, the normal subject test, that is. Especially with Yaoyorozu helping.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLwtuX5g1G
Mina: “Yeah! Yaomomo, you got this.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXh9o5oCRY
Momo: “You know I’m not taking the test for you, right?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLCzYXpHyW
Kirishima: “But what will the normal subject test be about?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSq6jBLjLx
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgd0wQ4cKe
Uraraka: “He gave us the battle trials and rescue. The rest was almost all basic training.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEuevyLHFC
Denki: “So basically, we just study everything and train until we-”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAic1yqtDw
Denki: “Oww!!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj52UbEcjhC
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2JMOlXG5v
Denki: “What’s the big deal!?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSPWJ4hlHV
Jiro: “Yeah, you… what’s your name again?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs2LOIpdcx
Mina: “Moron something?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjPX1IVoyd
Neito: “It’s Neito Monoma you-!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4eiOnnRQC
Taking a breath, the boy reclaimed his cool and answered the first question.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTINJy2K21A
Neito: “My bad, your head was so big that I ended up hitting it by accident.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Zu7hASAR
Denki: “Tch, sure you did.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupXEAAV9mj
Neito: “Hey, I heard some of you fought the Hero Killer.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWKmXrE4Io
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH7EnMrLrq
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!!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasMw1wqdzW
Under the slightly floating table, fists are being clenched. One more slight, and hands might be thrown. Yet still, the man keeps going.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkGDdgNLUB
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!!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ7O85OLwX
Luckily for him, he was saved by a sharp chop to the back of the head.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY25EOVmYMB
Kendo: “That’s not funny. Don’t you know what happened to Ida?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T1qcszf4D
Kirishima: “Yeah… he was going too far.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6eTxD3h1V
Kiri: “Nh.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpou1oZXOJJ
Kendo: “Sorry about him. This kid’s heart is… well… you know how it goes.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzxniBoPgh
Mina: “I think it’s his head, not his heart.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2K1w0MPrr
Izuku: “Either way, it’s no excuse.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYBEtrX0RW
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjxrv1OUmE
Kiri: “Well deserved.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKCC1ByMo0
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11c5ULqh5b
Izuku: “Really? How do you know?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAIRxZ0cQy
Kendo: “I know an upperclassman personally and asked. I know that’s kind of cheating but-”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0S5EREL3R
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wwZ7Fg6fC
Izuku: ‘I should have thought of that. Or read someone’s mind. But that actually would be cheating… I think.’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTQ3ng7tQ9
Kendo: “Well, when you put it that way, I don’t feel as bad.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhI1v8urt6
Neito: “Kendo, why? You just threw away our advantage! This was our chance to-”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei8e2DT8XP
Kendo: “Quiet. Or I’m telling Sabrina.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASKTIbTxaY
Neito: “… I’ll be quiet.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfv46rAXpz
Kendo: “Good. Later, Class A, sorry again.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig2XzconO3
With that, the girl carried the fool back to their side of the cafeteria.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkABXRo3pp
Denki: “You know, she’s kind of like the big sister of Class B, don’t you think?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyv04i0M3a
Jiro: “If she’s the big sister, then Sabrina must be the mother.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdZfhvMWiy
He might be gone, but his words still linger among the group.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx4nneQKOj
Melissa: “Ida, are you alright?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4ALpncQrM
Ida: “I’m fine; I won’t let what happened hold me back like that. After all, they’re just words.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCAkFAyF69
Melissa: “That’s very mature of you. Still, I guess not everyone here is nice, huh?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrh5EINMKA
Izuku: “Yeah… they’re not.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRvebn2BUz
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VHSH0Cy2F
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPKTwD5j3P
Izuku: “Bakugo.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcS4a61oYq
The boy stilled; sweat dripped from his forehead as the fight-or-flight instinct kicked in.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSG7u1Gyn4
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5XsDb9Eks
Unbeknownst to all, he gave a slight nod.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlctkddrwHk
Izuku: “Good.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDmkhH0p6b
Back at the table, Denki tries to get everyone back on a more lighthearted track
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBks2eJBWW
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!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIHlgzW9Pn
Mina: “Yep! No holding back! Easy as pie!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVltarEVdCB
Tsuyu: “Will it really be as easy as the entrance exam?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrDQH7vtLb
Uraraka: “Yeah, they could throw an army at us.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSioQjwnnDU
Jiro: “I doubt they have the budget for that.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ptnU6qx5
Denki: “Right? So we’re shoe-ins for the frost lodge!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtRGSWWDY8
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ineWre899
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnabIelY5Mk
Soon the day ended, signaling the last chance for Bakugo to tell Uraraka.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw3TJMHa06
Izuku: ‘He’ll probably tell her while walking out of school.’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESA3zVeYAi
With that in mind, Izuku turned to the two girls walking with him and made a choice.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjkkdK07xR
Izuku: “Momo, Kiri, I need to stay behind.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroIWcn660z
Momo: “What’s wrong?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkRuIqnnwN
Kiri: “… Bomb Boy?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzlpNm0cSX
Izuku: “Yeah.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6aDJ3NZQi
He proceeds to explain his plans and the conversation he had with his former bully.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34i6UF8p0h
Momo: “I’m glad you didn’t do anything like that, Izuku.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwPi2rGAOM
Kiri: “… I guess.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctlZxwzo0U
Momo: “Kiri! He can’t kill Bakugo; he’s trying to be a hero.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hKE7qEXrY
The girl sighs before explaining herself.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPj8jAbNZn
Kiri: “I know, but… I hate him. For years, I felt what Onii felt, the negativity that nearly caused him to… ”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbqr7iRLtG
Kiri held her arms as those particularly bad days floated to the surface of her mind.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURvDe2VtMJ
Izuku: “I… don’t know if I would have survived without Kiri eating the worst of my negative emotions.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW80H7Ca1Ss
Momo: “I’m sorry you two had to go through that.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Us2iO02ff
Like a mother with her children, Momo hugs them both.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH83TjV9Cu
Izuku: “Thank you, Momo.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dMHbpKlUZ
Kiri: “Nh.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpdtEny9bL
Momo: “Always. But still, don’t let what he did to you change who you are. You are not a killer.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7JZ2vK15H
Kiri: “Agreed. Hero.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuKKwYxCc9
Izuku: “… You’re right. Thank you.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4MPcAMZwS
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAb94FCqpc
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfS71NxhRQ
Bakugo: “Round Face! I need to talk to you.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnDWhcPGbQ
The poor girl nearly jumped out of her skin when called. But it was just surprise; she quickly recomposed herself and went to Bakugo.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU6th0mFQU
Bakugo: “…. Follow me.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtuU8HCjak
Uraraka: “Um… okay.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Iqn5xYQid
Izuku can see the blush forming on Uraraka’s face and instantly knows the feelings are mutual.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYyWltBQgZ
Izuku: ‘All the more reason.’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwssJJHlPTZ
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuwwmqk6tM
But it won’t be one she’s thinking of.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF70SrTDh1
When they reached their destination, Uraraka fidgeted with her fingers before asking the question.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wcHzgNML5
Uraraka: “S-So, Bakugo, what did you want to talk about?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzxWVyfys6
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw4EI9Y69U
Bakugo: “Listen… I…”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpc2MeBuDP
He gritted his teeth as oxygen became harder to intake. Izuku was still nearby, able to sense them both and their surface thoughts.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLe1nbbZe5
Bakugo: ‘Why is she looking at me like that?! She looks… cute… do I really… damn it! I don’t want to do thi-!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMTkk5MTwH
Izuku: “But you will. You will tell her everything you did to me.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYZWadMvAE
Bakugo stilled in horror. Yes, Izuku was still around. He couldn’t escape this.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4VF0pRNEB
Uraraka: “Bakugo, are you okay?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7lUo5OaTV
She goes to touch his arm. Bold, but considering the circumstances, she thought it appropriate.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzEhk07m3T
But not Bakugo, he backed away and showed a fear Uraraka never thought she’d see on his face.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D4yabnzXO
Uraraka: “Bakugo?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXjsl1xebv
Bakugo: “Round face… I… Damn it!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaskcPwbO3G
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPQi94bNJI
The frustration with the situation, coupled with the desire to not lose this connection, caused Bakugo to try and lessen his actions.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNg9QHKUBV
But he couldn’t; Uraraka wasn’t dumb. So over the course of those scream-filled minutes, her face became increasingly pale.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWG9wocL5r
The rough but, deep down, well-meaning boy she was slowly falling for was gone. The respect she held for him shattered.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRT5XcYr6G
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhOVXorKGc
That was if she bullied Ida for losing his legs and becoming essentially quirkless. She could never.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8Hyf1MJQz
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m00vhz0VI
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-
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivqTYQwkL9
Bakugo: “Well!?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENr1haRPGL
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWzmtuRYGe
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… ”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrh6VbMWPn
Bakugo: “But-”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYtICnmMSM
Uraraka: “We’re trying to be heroes!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw1MjMlNxS
Bakugo: “I will be a hero!! The number 1 hero! I’ll surpass All Might!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdDDWmBxks
Uraraka: “You don’t deserve that! What kind of hero bullies someone to suicide? What kind of hero betrays their best friend?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs30LDz2oq
Bakugo: “Deku isn’t my friend!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwrgc7wQZk
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKKmY1lg2U
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!?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVTw2bhfbe
Uraraka only cries harder from his cutting remarks. Unable to take much more of this emotional turmoil, she turns around.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMczpjgmXM
Uraraka: “G-Goodbye, B-Bakugo.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh5YbBgs4S
With that, she walked away. It was then that Bakugo fully realized what he had done. Who was walking from him.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt5ZmXRCCT
Bakugo: “Round face, get back here!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPNstGVMEG
She continues.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4GDgScJG9
Bakugo: “Damn it! Stop, wait!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinhCUxZnm6
She’s almost around the corner.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSqREfPL8g
Bakugo: “Uraraka!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe55IHbuSi
She was gone.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQlUnonHK4
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMhRTvJmlN
But that anger has long faded; only emptiness remains.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QRP0amCXQ
Bakugo: “I-I’m… sorry.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zMoX1NWyS
Izuku: “She’s not the one you should be begging for forgiveness.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTgA4EZBbj
Bakugo: “DEKU!! THIS IS ALL YOUR-”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U6FDbB1Wl
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj5KFVL2ZA
Bakugo: ‘Is this… real?’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUzJBCV7Zp
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dLuMrjCXY
Izuku: “Good job, Bakugo. All that is left is our fight; don’t be late.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RAMV4vmsE
And just like that, Izuku was gone, and the light returned to the world. But not to Bakugo’s mind and soul.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PiRDuUmpP
He looks to the sky and knows, deep down, this will only get worse.

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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuk5gjZTOE
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4bwJZavp2
But he won’t.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbiADyOyiq
Reaffirming control over himself and the legion within, Izuku leaned against the nearby wall.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4WTQVyQ4v
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?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDBNWLwOqB
The legion obeys the prince, retreating into the shadows of the depths.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNpms0cEOp
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a5R4NGEdB
Izuku: ‘I can’t wait.’
