Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAkYfdyCvrO8
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
176Please respect copyright.PENANA8d5kN8Sf0t
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAKbNsOETdw1
His body couldn’t have healed all of that damage so quickly. Add the fact he’s not in real space and the only option becomes clear.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAcGyS4lMuyp
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANARWLQqXfhCH
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAhSEE8oNEj4
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAkj4rt8UXig
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAPz2I2HtPM4
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
176Please respect copyright.PENANADzjGTAEzq9
It’s his family and how they will react to his death. He was finally on track to join his sisters as heroes. And for that dream and hope to be cut short…
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3EvkU9L6S
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
176Please respect copyright.PENANARKbOCqDhA6
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAHdBI1xazx7
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA5GngAGrcdf
It’s everywhere.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAc7BNxNWCnY
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAA2WNwTsAj6
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAOBYTZm7vvQ
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAPmdvx6gpbx
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAdHbyQz1Od2
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANArVRRexlfQo
The boy takes a deep breath, settles his mind and heart. He’s not dead. His dream aren’t broken. His family won’t fall into despair.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAjJsxHPdWGV
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
176Please respect copyright.PENANASpMaFnLi47
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA1sLxPNptqe
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAXZIrWztpPx
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0DroVm18fX
“I’m not the only one and I feel I won’t be the last. Worry not child, we mean you no harm. We are here to help you.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAhNj8HSjF97
Izuku: “To do what?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ5tTmUifq
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAqz4MAUUwEV
Izuku’s mind is running 100 miles per second at this point. This whole situation is completely insane. If this was in the real world, his legs would have become a puddle.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAWwwhgLIMTz
But one thing keeps him grounded.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAu1V4nrYPtk
Izuku: “I-I-If…the world really needs me to be a hero in the future, then I will be that hero. I promise to be there.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAD3JKLOsW28
He brings up his best All Might smile and looks into the eyes of the unknown. And for an instant, he could almost swore the entity was smiling back.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAd5vABqQ0gq
“I knew I chose well.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA4dGEjZAMBS
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAnYi0BuvD3S
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAqzZbwUGNXr
“You’re waking up.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAotaOAiYlYe
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAURtKwQ5IOC
“That, I have no doubt.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAtxIPusGhA5
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0ljkAD8IqH
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANArY3jz48ICZ
“…My name is-”
176Please respect copyright.PENANATg8HCSeYjB
176Please respect copyright.PENANAuYwB2PKoEn
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAdDLfnKWvZ1
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAvGTKKFZaeM
A lap pillow.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAevsBRuEhS9
The envy of all men world over and his sister Fubuki was gifting it him. But that’s not all, sitting next to her was Valkyrie of all people.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQvvxPtNN88
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAXaTBeyvHpb
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAtWJgV5oXmO
Fubuki quickly hugged him, nearly suffocating him with her chest. If she wasn’t his sister, this would be cause for celebration. But right now, the boy just wanted to know what was going on.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAKToeVlpOTi
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA8Gjw96ZZ9n
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAhXo3zxfGgz
Instead of answers, he felt someone else bring him into a hug. Unlike Fubuki’s though, this one was soft and gentle. He already knew who was hugging him.
176Please respect copyright.PENANApRQ8ZzkjrP
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANArovI3wQbKR
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAJFCYS1kNpO
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAUV0XwErsh4
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGFnKVlxjT7
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0bC92pxkNz
Izuku: “Ow.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA5g0VQlTuez
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAoKGZfZT8Lu
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA2QJEGEd9oZ
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
176Please respect copyright.PENANArvZQ0EAbhW
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA6LnGNg7Ex5
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA1e6CHWibfe
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYseqRshc1e
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAvZSwiZAIYO
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGxQbmfsfCn
Izuku: “Yes!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANASLwsdlUEyB
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANACBacqrdGjs
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAwpvGpV1cO0
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAOckr0fEl2M
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
176Please respect copyright.PENANApPTwqa6wBe
The place looked like a warzone!
176Please respect copyright.PENANAzVl8uxQbJN
The whole gym was torn asunder and the only person around, aside from those already mentioned, was Recovery Girl. She was near enough to come and help if needed. But far enough to not intrude on the family matter.
176Please respect copyright.PENANALDeJMoZi4e
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANADJpZHnY9pI
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
176Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q5QInwI5t
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANANyeV2hja99
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANACQ9Q7yreGr
176Please respect copyright.PENANAWPSTzjCPCE
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA7D43FKcUCt
But seeing Izuku’s charred body, he knew he wouldn’t fight back. This is partly his fault. He should have stopped this whole thing. Or at the very least, had Tatsumaki and Fubuki here as well.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAN3HnvW9Tgb
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAsc4IPFw8Ay
So it didn’t surprise him when the ground quaked with the eldest sister’s anger and worry. It didn’t surprise him when the walls of the gym were destroyed, revealing the two sisters eyeing the burned body of their brother.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAG4oshauUt7
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAgR3ZruqvbV
Faster than he and the others could react, they were thrown back. Tatsumaki held Izuku up with her telekinesis while the two fretted over him.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0Wfr3RT4Um
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAbgEiWEwD9f
But Tatsumaki’s tears slowly dried up and were replaced with fury. She turned her piercing gaze towards those responsible. Fubuki took over holding Izuku with her powers, as to not aggravate his wounds with physical contact.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAn2C80orFJ8
Tatsumaki didn’t need to say anything. She gently lifted Recovery Girl and placed her near Izuku. Recovery Girl breathed a sigh relief and focused on helping Izuku heal.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAnmXxfoEESW
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAmuOit9dxPP
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAwvUWWdZf7H
No.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA6t8eQOqXKs
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAIAsGRDPB1m
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAlHYhmSgpBx
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAhKXDhA0xI2
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAbtuQF9qWvV
For an agonizing moment, all was silent. Tatsumaki looked to Fubuki, Recovery Girl and her beloved brother. A brother who seems to be fading fast.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAlfKaUjwLfo
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAFQtbLKACUq
The eldest sister looked back at the two men. She saw nothing but red and desperately needed someone to pay. So she raised her hands and-
176Please respect copyright.PENANAi4UDci9q6b
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAtrb4dTMKO5
If it could get anymore tense, it just did. Fubuki and Tatsumaki looked to the new arrival. Valkyrie ran towards Izuku, not realizing what she just did.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQK1TxrqKmc
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAyd7VJHv2sR
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA65c1RkVe0r
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAoH28bcFNMk
Valkyrie was so focused on saving her brother and then consumed by worry at his state, that she failed to sense her onee-chans. Now they meet at the worst possible time.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAvGgt9Mo4uN
Valkyrie: “I-”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAWvG3XOiXqQ
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA1OfvCrJiyi
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAU2QBkmezer
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAbkSlYlK5Q5
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAKgmP30zKOx
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAOznIeaavWU
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAMH16xXmTgW
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAwnaj5ZcFVO
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAW55O1FyUeo
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAlB6dOWCof7
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA4EH0ceWKhS
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAaLByWqoMgD
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAk0PkZJBaeJ
Valkyrie oriented herself quick enough to punch apart the debris sent her way. But the remains of that debris would fly right back at her, creating a tornado of terror.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0Udlmgah3M
Valkyrie did all she could to punch and kick away the assault, but it was too much. Small sharp fragments found their way past her defenses.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAerbZA2LWXc
Yes, she was getting hurt.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAldTDksa200
Tatsumaki psychic energy was far too overwhelming for her own powers to negate. Each flash of red and small cry of pain egged Tatsumaki on.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAhbj4hfj4Iv
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA4Aykqgj7C4
This couldn’t go on.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9CBpl4aFw
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAl3cFN0QpwD
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAusxZIXOzZh
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAISMDTAAvHL
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAoqfFVdl3gL
Both All Might on the ground and Tatsumaki in the air widen their eyes. And that moment of shock was all she needed to unleash an imitation of the hero her brother so admired.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYuYYkf3Ihd
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYNVJEO28Rk
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAIaNHsEHIw1
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA5bkEdILWcm
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
176Please respect copyright.PENANABUz3k8Ao1F
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAZPFFbzYBsR
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAcoh8Y3ZlED
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAqmqmPtlctn
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAgbdyJMWdvL
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAWd44s8y4Zf
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAIkXSAQB7u0
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA5TuJymvk92
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAuDSqDR7Wpw
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAELRDTwKqe6
Valkyrie was so weak, a feeling she never felt before. And it was caused by her older sister. Tears welled up in her milky eyes.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAFFyG7p4XqG
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA9ALiuYVoWB
And then to All Might and Nezu who both looked a bit lost at what to do. This is clearly a family drama they have little room to but in on.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAi14GqaWwSm
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAyXmKegQyZc
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAkdQxaN9Zyf
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAmnmgBuVo0Q
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAhwx7IqcsVV
Valkyrie: “Family.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAyA6kJZXNVr
Wrong answer.
176Please respect copyright.PENANABs9JYQrblI
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
176Please respect copyright.PENANARtXAcaRDUp
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAtuIsGFlxD7
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAncn1D7ZbOa
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAOowwvIpZXO
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAwPNJDsEhI1
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAMDqwV4JJg6
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA1W9IJM9IU7
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAhIwyFNWpbL
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAKADnqaRT3Z
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ5akssoBe
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAMW8N1FtJhG
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAcHwlbIXLzO
All eyes return to the fading boy.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0moScTNTUV
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAVSDNLVnk7H
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAAkIgnLB5q5
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAEjB8TKX60k
Tatsumaki: “How?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANABtiO7sbHk4
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAfI8zaOg9wI
The eldest sister thought for a moment and looked at her brother who was on death’s door. Any fury she felt melted at the sight. All she wants right now is for him to live.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA3KBQVU1acG
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAEChqgnkk1s
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAXaqM65C4wH
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAj4Br0aw7Ft
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAwPVWeflFUM
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAJRLv8QJUci
Valkyrie used the rest of her strength to touch Izuku. In that instant, she glowed green and the healing flames returned in full force. Izuku was rapidly healing while Valkyrie shrunk in size.
176Please respect copyright.PENANABFXioCYkTc
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAsLHG7hOaTg
Everyone crowded around in relief to see Izuku healing from his wounds. There are still some burns but those will heal with time as well.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAD1UNRDQxKq
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAuvPc8Nwq5E
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA2quNZUTyDE
She took a moment before nodding.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAZHDayijL8b
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANApfMPGPP0Uj
They all look back to see the damage Tatsumaki caused. Then they looked at her. She couldn’t look at them and so turned away in embarrassment.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAR65tZ2WVme
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANACoFOZVfOfY
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0hkRbLP2ih
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAbo8VWL5O5V
Fubuki: “Of course.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANATAkY4fXSxx
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAJQfif2wazT
Recovery Girl: “Yes, but I’ll take a little trip to the office to get some extra supplies. To help bring Midoriya back to 100%”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAs0T0eCpczB
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANArfEMMyOVK6
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYVbcHbwAQP
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
176Please respect copyright.PENANA7bvnRfjwEF
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQYnlpS8raN
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAAqHILMv6uC
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANALBbdrwVXlB
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAr00hcpDtB9
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYs4hEUg2A9
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAo0Ia9k8K4A
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGh1ycBmup0
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA34FeGHSsEn
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAaOqm4AkyYX
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
176Please respect copyright.PENANADWwd8uTfFO
176Please respect copyright.PENANAZIFxZJMkre
Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"
176Please respect copyright.PENANA9jOrGr5N0f
176Please respect copyright.PENANADGGrAfnuvB
The two sisters looked at the scene with a slight blush and they weren’t the only ones. Izuku was also blushing, and cursing his hormones. He always found Valkyrie pretty.
176Please respect copyright.PENANALduDtZUL5H
176Please respect copyright.PENANA6uw8tAh2b9
But he knew she wasn’t trying to kiss him, so he kept still and waited. Trusting that this is all apart of the process.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAp4Btg99dRL
176Please respect copyright.PENANAkgBp4aGBTm
Valkyrie closed her eyes and pressed her forehead against his own. For a moment all he felt was the warmth of her skin against his.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAWaQPHLU7MX
176Please respect copyright.PENANAk1yT9AO4d9
Then it was like he'd been doused in buckets of icy water, images flashing before his eyes like a badly edited film reel. Colors that couldn't exist, memories with a first-person view showing a body that didn't belong to him.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAFbuQS7uwhY
176Please respect copyright.PENANAxp9Tup4ezX
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.

A smiling team of heroes dressed in cat-themed regalia. A man crying in the hospital, alone and wrought with regret. Pale ghostly hands ripping through reinforced steel like wet cardboard.

176Please respect copyright.PENANAzQiry942HD
More and more images hammered his mind. He couldn't clearly understand them all, but he got the basic gist of what they were supposed to be. Snippets and chunks of Valkyrie's life, unfolding backwards in visual format like a VCR tape on rewind.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAtZq09jywY9
176Please respect copyright.PENANAjsfRxrj3u4
Finally, he saw a familiar view of the city. Izuku knew this scene, it was the exact same landscape he'd see if he looked out his window.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAsLCEOOyhOz
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYdYHLDyJBP
Except this point of view was a little higher. The roof of his apartment. A single glowing tentacle reached out, the tip splitting into five distinct ends, forming fingers, then a hand. Thunder boomed in the distance as rain pattered off the frightened limb.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGXx1Bdy6HV
176Please respect copyright.PENANAs6QwSz5UEL
He somehow remembered this night. It was the very same night he'd cried into his sister’s arms, lamenting the cruelty of life. This was when Valkyrie was born, ten years ago.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA401y5P4qmu
176Please respect copyright.PENANAlihrdxQ3wz
Then, there was the connection between Master and Projection. An electrifying jolt like a DC current, simple, steady and carrying a numbing shock as two minds bridged into one. A direct feed to something deeper, primal and terrifyingly familiar.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA8MwTFQhP8d
176Please respect copyright.PENANAltIba1JSKx
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
176Please respect copyright.PENANAO6X9MmIhqP
176Please respect copyright.PENANASk3u0lvtj2
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGBXFJXYDkd
176Please respect copyright.PENANAAXK4RxjTIo
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
176Please respect copyright.PENANAN1Zuw5dvqU
176Please respect copyright.PENANAY8Y2mYMaYz
Something answered.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA3ijUw0pEwT
176Please respect copyright.PENANAEzMdZlt92R
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAPrZV3JjSiX
176Please respect copyright.PENANA7AGDMzw8vE
Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA9oaBH8xysI
176Please respect copyright.PENANAZsEGKqTTNV
Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1rLVTrN0u
176Please respect copyright.PENANAjUvUhWMOJS
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAWu7OiTgSUM
176Please respect copyright.PENANAHSrDoOyEiq
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAz3IOxP4xpF
176Please respect copyright.PENANAdyrvSUwlRS
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAFrVMzbCAox
176Please respect copyright.PENANA51yY9Oqhpb
She'd just shown him key memories of her life compressed into the span of seconds. Conveniently giving him the general rundown of her story and relation to him. But most importantly, she had shown her origin…and how he'd created her.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAbRGz6HBjEb
176Please respect copyright.PENANAhyKsWJIoXq
The irony of the situation wasn't lost on him. The crackpot theorists were right on the assumption that Valkyrie wasn't human. She was a construct…his construct.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA7shNTJFDQ8
176Please respect copyright.PENANABdkxIUrc25
Izuku: "Y-you. You're me. A part of me. All those weird dreams I've been having. My emotions being kept in balance when I got too scared or stressed since I was young…it was all you, wasn't it?"
176Please respect copyright.PENANAEHH1CBqxL4
176Please respect copyright.PENANAW37RStL6sh
She nodded, patiently waiting for him to continue. If he looked a little closer he would have seen her trembling with a barely restrained excitement.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA2akgK4fusf
176Please respect copyright.PENANANxM0ridOxM
Izuku: "Ten years..."
176Please respect copyright.PENANAS4MeEihjMV
176Please respect copyright.PENANAdi4k5Xh1TU
He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAl4TTGA6aFi
176Please respect copyright.PENANAxtUZfiDaph
He really was never quirkless. All this time, he was like everyone else. If she didn’t show him why she didn’t tell him earlier, he’d be mad.
176Please respect copyright.PENANArMVtV4z0ME
176Please respect copyright.PENANAjGy1Q0wvbs
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAWSIPaeeNNH
176Please respect copyright.PENANAAcRwIMuHb2
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAlFcOt7Rxs7
176Please respect copyright.PENANAs4yOVqVaus
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
176Please respect copyright.PENANAamP591mQtk
176Please respect copyright.PENANAhxMDIKlPC3
The boy whispered, feeling a strange sense of guilt even though it wasn't his fault.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQUiQw39fyq
176Please respect copyright.PENANAD5G0BJejVP
Izuku: "You must have been so lonely."
176Please respect copyright.PENANAuTcNizkzH9
176Please respect copyright.PENANAqaatNbWdkV
Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZTdfKfdpT
176Please respect copyright.PENANAS1tmI5FrSA
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA9K4YfUPKyb
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGjLUxHqF8r
She nuzzled against his chest happily. He could somehow get a basic feel of her current mood, right now she was ecstatic, positively vibrating with joy in the arms of her creator. To her, this must have been like a religious experience. He sighed, rubbing her head gently with a somewhat parental instinct.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAljpYnnFVmj
176Please respect copyright.PENANAzKLJI7dpES
Izuku: "I guess… that makes you my little sister?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAFYNNHicqaU

Tatsumaki: “Okay, that’s it.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANARIMmWZUFcV
176Please respect copyright.PENANADDf9PSS5vI
Tatsumaki gently moved the two from each other with her powers.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA76m5Ljggfq
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQL9DpmY4GA
Valkyrie: “Oneeeeee!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAli9Y2LO8Vd
176Please respect copyright.PENANAiSbCm3cZA2
Valkyrie pouted at being separated from her big brother.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAf0w6mVtpOW

Fubuki: “What will mom think?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAX46lhMceZi

Tatsumaki: “Just another thing to worry about.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAcXAP4l3av4

Izuku: “Is it that bad?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAUM25LBXdDd
176Please respect copyright.PENANAShXJr4Nb8N
Tatsumaki: “Look, I believe that Valkyrie is your mental creation. But calling her my…little sister? Having her apart of our family?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA5RxvoYSDSE
176Please respect copyright.PENANADCKyvydy3P
Unbeknownst to them Fubuki’s eyes flinched at the term little sister. A position she held and something Tatsumaki rarely calls her. Something else she can lose…
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQSBfteqVkI
176Please respect copyright.PENANAAyspU3UiIF
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAJT9MzKF39d
176Please respect copyright.PENANAcGCZnWxiij
Their eyes widen slightly at Fubuki’s uncharacteristically cold words.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAXc4kkqrnO2

Tatsumaki: “This is getting us nowhere.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANATEHLXxhqIF
176Please respect copyright.PENANAqaI7Pyv29c
She lets the two down but her glare makes sure they don’t go holding onto each other.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAB5lVopDYhR
176Please respect copyright.PENANAIUZTWnP71R
Tatsumaki: “Where do you live Valkyrie?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAojozyg0J6P

Valkyrie: “…Around. Different places.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAIxSq8T56GG

Tatsumaki: “Quiet!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAf6DuCCiPNL

The oldest sister has spoken.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAnfyTpZ7IDk

Tatsumaki: “You trust her Izuku?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAtpuXqaXIWA

176Please respect copyright.PENANAnn7SQnnCPY

Tatsumaki: “…Okay.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAXR1UpE4KEo

Fubuki: “Big Sister!?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA7q5A0MdwbA
176Please respect copyright.PENANARFSgDHYrsX
Tatsumaki: “I’m not calling her my little sister but I know she’s strong. She can protect Izuku where we…may be late.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ4jk7lRmd
176Please respect copyright.PENANAuDodc3x9Rt
Fubuki bit her lip, understanding what her sister was trying to explain. But a corner of her mind still whispers.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAO5BUZFqFrD
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0f0O2FUiFz
‘This is just the first step. You’ll be replaced. You’ll be left behind.’
176Please respect copyright.PENANAr50RnVpTot
176Please respect copyright.PENANARO6g9qWSAm
Tatsumaki: “Still, you have to convince mom Izuku. Understand?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAyy21CvLn59
176Please respect copyright.PENANAjx5f6HHGGN
Izuku: “Yes!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAyLL7yPMJ8C

Nezu: “Well, I’m glad to hear you’re up and alright Midoriya.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAiFUrmV0On8
176Please respect copyright.PENANA2igj8sC5Ob
Izuku looks to see Nezu and All Might coming to greet the recently revived boy. Only Valkyrie was a bit surprised at All Might’s true form. Not wanting to interrupt, she kept silent for now.
176Please respect copyright.PENANApCg4pfSBBE
176Please respect copyright.PENANAC4h4amaEJ9
Nezu: “You’re quirk is truly incredible. I would love to-”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQXNDLk9YYy
176Please respect copyright.PENANAs0b42UMG8g
Tatsumaki’s cold stare shut down any more ideas for experimentation.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAygJLulwsp2
176Please respect copyright.PENANAjeHMMLzhXA
Nezu: “Nevermind.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAcKxc0mvvq1
176Please respect copyright.PENANAB1uex8iLbo
Izuku got up and bowed to the principal.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAz4FrFmXjdY
176Please respect copyright.PENANA3pIfjVF5Hc
Izuku: “Sorry for causing you so much trouble! I should have not tried combining my abilities.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA3epYucnOP8
176Please respect copyright.PENANAd1oWTLh551
Nezu: "It's quite alright young man."
176Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0HIex03kw
176Please respect copyright.PENANAEjXMS1meDZ
Nezu sighed, lamenting the hectic day and the media frenzy.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3emJeVkIZ
176Please respect copyright.PENANANKacK3zBSR
Nezu: “Sadly, we're out of time today. But you'll still have Toshinori to train you today.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0DmZE13mVO
176Please respect copyright.PENANA9fI46Ao8Nt
Fubuki: “Maybe we should train him today instead.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAkqVnMBUjmW

All Might: “That’s…fair.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYKX0hVR5dA

Valkyrie: “What about…me?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAHytnSQN5Rp
176Please respect copyright.PENANAPo5QaXZ9th
Nezu: “Hmmmm, in that form you don’t look like the famous vigilante. Perhaps…you can apply to U.A alongside Midoriya.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAJv2HC9OnZ5
176Please respect copyright.PENANA6yxxb6dkDJ
All Might: “That’s an excellent idea. Her experience in the field could even rub off on her fellow students.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANARBZHNZrg8h
176Please respect copyright.PENANAahloYUEE4W
All Might: ‘And she’ll become a licensed hero, instead of staying a Vigilante.’
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0dkmQL0VH3
176Please respect copyright.PENANAWoawvuU6Uk
Tatsumaki: “She could protect Izuku better that way too.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA3o49T1K6Tq

Fubuki: “But-”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAjxKbwJLNQ8

Izuku: “Thank you Nezu!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANA7XvfyKlhYL
176Please respect copyright.PENANAcnhC65jgeS
Nezu: “Most welcome. To be honest, I'm rather beside myself with eagerness to see what you'll make of yourself, Midoriya. Your Quirk is amazing, and if my suspicions are right, you may only be scratching the surface! Telekinesis, telepathy, mental projection and Pyrokinesis are all subsets of psychic powers. You might have full access of that power set.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAu7Cy1EWMPh
176Please respect copyright.PENANAMzhvOpwTxO
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAUGUTFQTk8v
176Please respect copyright.PENANAdLREzXtTHN
Nezu: “So perhaps you should pick up a couple of those really old comics and manga from the last millennium. You may find some amazing ideas in them that you're able to replicate."
176Please respect copyright.PENANA9EI45xtejw
176Please respect copyright.PENANA1DtWc2Y3dJ
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAsZMC1kA9kp
176Please respect copyright.PENANA3HrEDqXmKj
Izuku: "I will! Thank you for the advice, principal!"
176Please respect copyright.PENANAlnH4s3ziUx
176Please respect copyright.PENANAVhAxlgZt0A
Nezu: "You're a good kid Midoriya-san. I can see what Toshinori saw in you. You have great potential!"
176Please respect copyright.PENANAUgmbECH8ii
176Please respect copyright.PENANAtnVZVp7IP4
He turned to the man in question as Izuku went scarlet.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAyTzrE3lH6D
176Please respect copyright.PENANALWDOh7n3tN
Nezu: "Speaking of, you intend to pass One For All to him, don't you?"
176Please respect copyright.PENANAkodSedV64M
176Please respect copyright.PENANABHurUcMonh
All Might: "I do! He's the perfect candidate! When I first offered it to him, he didn't even hesitate to think of others first. He wondered if it would be fair to others if he took it now that he had his Quirk. That kind of selfless nature, his bravery, and his sense of justice are hard to come by. Even before he had his quirk he didn't even hesitate to try to save someone from a villain."
176Please respect copyright.PENANAko8Zgi1bFL
176Please respect copyright.PENANALKiCQJiA78
Nezu: "I agree. And that is why, even though I feel he really has the potential to succeed you as the Symbol of Peace, it pains me to say that he can NOT become the next holder of One For All."
176Please respect copyright.PENANApTte2Mt2CF
176Please respect copyright.PENANAkoBaYNbHqz
Tatsumaki and All Might: “What?!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAXUztSb34km
176Please respect copyright.PENANAyP3NXfkWuz
Nezu let out a hard sigh and crossed his paws.
176Please respect copyright.PENANALP4tNayGw3
176Please respect copyright.PENANAKBB76NZOPC
Nezu: "Remind me again of the story your master told you? Of what happened to her when she first gained One For All."
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGPCEzBlVnK
176Please respect copyright.PENANALkr2F16oUP
All Might: "Master? Uh… If I recall, the first time she tried to use Float after she got One For All, she…"
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYUrmFWvS7W
176Please respect copyright.PENANA5yrZDOq9r6
He blanched, finally remembering.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA7udlWHt224
176Please respect copyright.PENANApqKEjA1ot4
All Might: "She…She…flew headfirst into a wall."
176Please respect copyright.PENANA3vx086qGx9
176Please respect copyright.PENANAMwtkwkD7tn
The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
176Please respect copyright.PENANABxjtCM84JC
176Please respect copyright.PENANAF3gxKNnT6m
Nezu: "Precisely. One For All overpowered Float so badly she nearly broke her own neck. And she had been training her Quirk for years. Just what do you suppose it will do to HIS Quirk?"
176Please respect copyright.PENANAczgyVanZi7
176Please respect copyright.PENANA2iEbGaBGuB
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.
176Please respect copyright.PENANArxvghjaQ1T
176Please respect copyright.PENANAeVXwYpR5iv
Tatsumaki: “How could you forget that?”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAslroFK9lZ2
176Please respect copyright.PENANAelYyNgKpxq
All Might: “It was a long time ago!”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAg3BujfoAWq
176Please respect copyright.PENANAXpE8KMpH0k
Nezu: "Now there’s no guarantee that this would happen. After all, one is hardly a large enough sample size."
176Please respect copyright.PENANAqbIMbjed4y
176Please respect copyright.PENANA9xArSGB6wR
Nezu: “So let us perform a scenario analysis on what would happen if Izuku were to accept One For All. Scenario one: Izuku accepts the Quirk and they stay entirely separate. Now he has two Quirks he has hardly any practice with. With the potential he's shown us with only two months of training, they may even end up being equally powerful. He now has to divide all his time in training two Quirks that have nothing to do with one another. One For All is not a Quirk you just have. He will break himself without dedicating his body to training it. He would have to leave his original Quirk by the wayside, and I can see in his face that he clearly is not interested in that."
176Please respect copyright.PENANAreuJv3TGDB
176Please respect copyright.PENANAwOqFDnXuLn
Izuku: “No…I'm not. I…I finally have a Quirk. Something to make me unique. Something that is all me…that ties me to my family"
176Please respect copyright.PENANA78t1TXpzgd
176Please respect copyright.PENANA5jHwOMc2aC
The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAY7Bv6HglSB
176Please respect copyright.PENANA6jlQWALUEU
Nezu: "Exactly. Izuku would become a jack of all trades, master of none. He would be hurting his own potential by stretching himself too thin."
176Please respect copyright.PENANACYwjF0zH4g
176Please respect copyright.PENANAZqDEH6BL94
Nezu: “And that is the better scenario. The worst-case scenario is that One For All merges with his original Quirk. All of the stockpiled power stored in your Quirk, now powering his."
176Please respect copyright.PENANAbtnsUJhi1H
176Please respect copyright.PENANArowFxwNqGY
All Might: "He would far surpass me. He could be the greatest symbol this world has ever seen! Greater than me!"
176Please respect copyright.PENANArpPfOvkpxb
176Please respect copyright.PENANAzR5sH1Bupu
Fubuki: “But that’s only if he can control it. It’s too dangerous.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAR0mDglDcBO
176Please respect copyright.PENANAzvur7Rbsid
Nezu: “Correct. Toshinori, you could never had met your master if she had killed herself flying into that wall. If Torino hadn't been there she may have done just that."
176Please respect copyright.PENANAPeSNqbnWgM
176Please respect copyright.PENANADhLRyh7cp4
Nezu admonished the Greatest Hero, drawing a flinch at the name of his sensei.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGzNhp0jocI
176Please respect copyright.PENANAdVGjCAXuyX
Nezu: "He would be breaking things with even the slightest touch of his Quirk. Crushing full trucks into soda cans. Picking people up to rescue them and putting them on the moon. How could he possibly learn control when even the lightest touch could be enough to send something he struggles with now straight into orbit? He could never use his Quirk again. He'd be back where he started. For all intents and purposes… Quirkless."
176Please respect copyright.PENANAlmMeQYtxMZ
176Please respect copyright.PENANAc2rMtVGQo6
All Might was looking even more deflated than usual. Chiyo spoke up, finally deciding to speak.
176Please respect copyright.PENANArmMLOoqaLf
176Please respect copyright.PENANAuPyAyF115u
Recovery Girl: "And the doomsday scenario…we already got a taste of that. Imagine that but-"
176Please respect copyright.PENANA03NzNuKEqH

Tatsumaki: “We get it! No One For All.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANAeYLXgiPvRT
176Please respect copyright.PENANACMsJBvEJVF
All Might: “You're all right. It was foolish of me to consider this course of action.”
176Please respect copyright.PENANACfzZBMgNsG
176Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ47CCg7JG
Nezu: "I'm sorry Toshinori. I know how extremely happy you were to have found your successor."
176Please respect copyright.PENANAaMq1UWHXp0
176Please respect copyright.PENANA9fYytUih05
Izuku had stayed silent as they spoke, and for once, it was him putting his hand on All Might's shoulder.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAVBrwSVSgGq
176Please respect copyright.PENANAuuc0yVRzjf
Izuku: "I'm sorry All Might. Looks like I messed things up already."
176Please respect copyright.PENANAJnk2NBMYKk
176Please respect copyright.PENANAS8a8pRRGjH
Toshinori smiled before bulking up.
176Please respect copyright.PENANA3HMejbSyy9
176Please respect copyright.PENANA20rl7XJRbP
All Might: "This changes nothing, shonen. I promised to train you as my successor until the entrance exam and train you I shall. You're still my student and my successor, even if I can't give you One For All! We'll make you the greatest hero in the world yet, Midoriya-shonen!"
176Please respect copyright.PENANAjp5By20BB3
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ7u08B1SV
He started laughing a little boisterously.
176Please respect copyright.PENANAMBzYHbUAPL
176Please respect copyright.PENANAA6gjN4JA2x
All Might: "I guess this does mean we can cut the physical training out of our schedule though."
176Please respect copyright.PENANAu9c8FX2fz9
