Izuku gazed out the plane window and thought about how this all happened. It was a surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaslR71IuRq
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgoHy2QLrk
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIo1AYXx96
Izuku: ‘I’m sure someone there will be able to help Ida.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1uqlEijD6
While thinking on the past, the boy is distracted by the sound of something exploding across from his seat on the private plane.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lurTqYiGg
Kaoru: “Can you not do that on a plane, you psycho!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnMWY0mOMn
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-
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqKAJTOTJr
Mei: “You can’t expect me to not work on my babies for hours on end! I’d go crazy!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1xWQhSC81
Kaoru: “Better crazy than dead!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEZb1DlaQn
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqqe3uU8kp
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1T2cPk7kH
But considering his feelings for them, maybe it’s for the best. Especially after what Kiri said before they left.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOBA6iJZGb
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtGzem5zZO
Inko: “Have fun, you two!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1hu1mmCxt
Their mother hugs Kiri and Izuku, making sure to squeeze enough love to make up for Tatsumaki and Fubuki’s absence.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0tFpsoyLT
Izuku: “We will, don’t worry.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf3Vlakr9D
Kiri: “Nh.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjTB3XPhIU
Inko: “It’s been a long time since I’ve been alone at home for a few days. I’ll miss you two.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZevGLI8a7H
Izuku: “We’ll miss you too. And if you get lonely, I’m sure Fubuki or Tatsu will spend time with you.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7wEFDxNPd
Inko: “I hope so… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4vgh8dLNo
Before they could worry too much about those two, Inko sent them off. Wouldn’t want them to miss their planes.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIivTZhzexp
Along the way, the two made some small talk. Most notable being their partners on this trip.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8jQrrUYKB
Kiri: “Akashi and Hatsume. Two girls… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePfglEiOaH
Izuku: “Tokoyami and Kirishima. Two guys.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsezp1PM8Vy
Kiri: “Fair.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO6KfRWNCc
After a moment to collect her thoughts, Kiri stopped walking to declare her intentions.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlZaa7O7vd
Izuku: “Kiri?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsCO5k0jjh
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBERJ4rNg7D
Izuku: “W-Why did you-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFt5eN4Re8
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.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPhzmb04sx
Izuku: “That means… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqx6AWKbly
Kiri: “I’m not giving up. And… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgECkI97BfC
She whispers the last part in his ear.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYuh9hqpkX
Kiri: “I heard what you did with Udders; I want my turn.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSKQgkqg3i
Leaving him to sit in the implications, Kiri bounced away towards her destination.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uC3kRP3JV
Izuku: “… Wow.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMX4ww6iAk
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKFciMrwMw
Izuku: “Yeah, it’s for the best. Who knows what would have happened?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoVcn3dkys
“Attention passengers. This plane will soon begin its descent to I-Island.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nT0aDkjfm
Kaoru: “Finally! I think we might have been the last one.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV3RkhrC4K
Mei: “Oooh, I smell a new baby in the making! Making this plane fly faster will be a great challenge!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4NrOu8nZK
Kaoru: “Midoriya, make her stop.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLXjqY1GqL
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoaUWp1ddt
The plane soon landed, and the trio exited wearing their hero gear. Well, Kaoru and Izuku did; Mei only needs her inventing clothes.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLwnERtzcx
Izuku: “Wow, it’s even more beautiful than I thought.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX9yrHbOiz
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hiy1DGPHK
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZyQnfXE1p
After the trio went through the strict hi-tech customs, they decided to split up.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJmhC0NjnM
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?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrra1d1QDC
Izuku: “Nope, you can use your quirk freely here.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC31RNRlqWK
Kaoru: “Sweet! Later, Midoriya.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbFxoe0Rtr
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kw5opPGrg
Izuku: “Well, guess that means I’m on my own.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuAvCEIgwO
Just then, the boy noticed some commotion nearby.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GxVKWeiW9
“W-Wait, ALL MIGHT!!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkdNKC1V8p
“The number one hero!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYgCE58ZU9
“We need an interview!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI9TVt0S3D
“Get closer!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT6nxdY55G
The boy sees All Might get swarmed by a bunch of people and reporters.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Jt3wM8cZ
All Might: “AHAHAHAH! Thank you for such a warm welcome! Line up for autographs!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRpkbfVuQX
Izuku smiles at the sight and goes to leave; that is, until he runs into Tsuyu and Ida.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg25mJ0i4k
Izuku: “Gah! Where did you two come from?!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOfChTLzjt
Tsuyu: “Escaped before the swarm, kero.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQE8NfuqCQ
Izuku: “I see.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMx0r15JLx
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr531Toypt
Izuku: “So, do you want to wait together until they’re done?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB4NolEF7C
Ida: “No choice. All Might knows where our hotel is.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf2ucZ9zhn
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7OjNzCyQz
Tsuyu: “Midoriya?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGXb088gca
Izuku: “Yeah?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUtzmHRzmT
Tsuyu: “I… I’m sorry for what I did before… at the amusement park.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuC7bM5xJ7
The boy recalls that time so long ago when Tsuyu was filled with fear because of him.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmvx6XVWI6
Izuku: “O-Oh, it’s fine. It was my fault anyway; I’m… better now.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexZ7aRsVaS
She shakes her head.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrP0yAaQFf
Tsuyu: “It’s not your fault, kero. I didn’t know what came over me.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwnULFNaC1
Izuku: ‘And you don’t need to know.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIj51ECrzr
Ida: “All Might is coming.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s80FV2vMo
The two refocused on the present as All Might appeared with several lipstick marks.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4mHgyK7gM
All Might: “I didn’t think I’d be stopped that long. Sorry for that.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi19OsjubWX
Tsuyu: “It’s alright, kero.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvUbrqLnZ3
Izuku: “Hi, All Might.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiqEbPc0Lk
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.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VUnWYb3yp
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuGO5AODLq
Eventually, she got closer to jump off the stick and into All Might’s waiting arms.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprm77ZXTNl
“Uncle Might!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd66o3hLhl
All Might: “Melissa! You’ve gotten so big!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs6aQLZ4nU
He says while happily spinning her around.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0CNBjRdrI
Melissa: “It’s been so long! I’m so glad you came!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOGrhaoq4R
All Might: “Wouldn’t miss it for the world! But I almost didn’t recognize you.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaKuJCxQaK
Melissa: “Well, I am seventeen now. I’m pretty heavy now, huh?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqkTklFNl9
All Might: “Not at all!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsuy1HCbZw
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4dZA1lDYm
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5qiq8MFQC
All Might: “Oh, it’s not a big deal, Melissa! I was busy getting mobbed, after all. AHAHAHAH!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZTLBM99pc
The hero turned to Ida and pointed his hand towards him.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYHjJwwU7k
All Might: “Here is young Ida, the one I was telling you about over the phone.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0BR1z0kSy
Melissa: “Oh! Nice to meet you, I’m Melissa Shields. My father is a good friend of All Might.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3RnObkauN
She offers her hand, and he takes it after a while.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RkE0mpYNb
Ida: “H-Hello, I’m Tenya Ida. T-Thank you… for trying to help me.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U34CUFIAX
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.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLQKMb2LPz
Izuku: “Yes, Mei Hatsume and Momo Yaoyorozu. I don’t know where they are at the moment.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KBQXF06Qx
Melissa: “Don’t worry, I’ll find them. Meanwhile, I’d like to know more about you three.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrtem6WdXZ
She goes to shake Izuku’s hand and then Tsuyu’s, both giving her their full names.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwUTqQ3j9e
All Might: “Well, you all have fun. I’ll go and pay your father a visit. Here is the hotel key and location.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksCrrzd66e
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUToARhByYp
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.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn4CpDkdA8
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t4dpve2iG
Izuku: “Whoa, this place is amazing! I can’t believe the whole island is man-made; it’s nuts.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VXlyNI3w6
Tsuyu: “Look.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoFAedPZAb
Izuku: “No way!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzk6f34Gno
The group looks towards the group of people crowding around another famous hero.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwhbswxdz7
Izuku: “It’s the Monster Hero: Godzillo!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZX69zs6Yl
Tsuyu: “My brother loves his movies, kero.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadtgWc3yxF
Izuku: “Me too!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CK5SrIpOF
Melissa: “Nice, I bet a sponsor flew him out there for the expo.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4KYcCcAAM
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.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgzz49fLRo
Izuku: ‘At least I convinced Aizawa to help train him.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziW9h8GNME
Melissa: “I heard that Blizzard was loaded. Didn’t know she was that well-off. Oh, look!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOczFXdwPXj
While walking, she points to a nearby building. But whatever was inside could wait; Ida stopped the group.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl49M3h28aO
Ida: “If you don’t mind, I’d like to rest in my room. I’ve seen enough.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV8jIi06aN
The three look at him with worry, and it only makes him feel worse. He… doesn’t deserve this.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShGEYluMwX
Izuku: “Are you sure?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYENP6HNFzh
Ida: “Yes. Tsuyu, you don’t have to push me. I can handle it.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrdNUP7FRf
She shakes her head and keeps her hands on the back of the wheelchair.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNi4xM94ZT
Tsuyu: “It’s fine. I want to help.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzNIzevqP8
The boy’s shoulders slump, understanding he can’t change her mind.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjqcNFfRUm
Ida: “Alright. T-Thank you.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YFjfclgQD
Melissa: “Well, if you’re sure, then we’ll see you later. I’ll keep you updated on the Engine Project.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMFRs5tI2J
He simply nods before being pushed in another direction by Tsuyu.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4zfYbRvwS
Izuku: “Ida… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBln3rISe8r
Melissa: “Uncle Might didn’t give me all the details. Who did this to him?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cbtfBUnqt
Izuku: “A… villain. But Ida blames himself because he put himself in the situation.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73HkLeJO5T
Melissa: “Why?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcto1o6f9K
Izuku: “To avenge his brother.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZytA6YagL6
Melissa: “Wait, so the Hero Killer did that?!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6Mi0UjPuz
Izuku: ‘So his name reaches even here…’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uocq2E0Nc
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.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjExaMmEAuX
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.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk8dWNkFB2
Izuku: “Yeah… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPhPKRXywL
Izuku: ‘It’s also a good way to focus on something less heavy.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxd7b5Rr3H
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeQmkGxrkn
Izuku’s inner geek wanted to burst out and cheer at the displays. But he just didn’t feel like it right now.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmbcXk2hRz
Melissa: “Midoriya, look at this one!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmOrnnZvSc
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtCnkvXWx0
Melissa: “This multipurpose Beagle can fly like a jet, of course, but it can also move underwater!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39zHc1OLNW
Izuku: “That’s… that’s… so cool!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm6O8sbP3b
Melissa: “Haha, I’m glad you think so. Come on, there is something I want to show you.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXsrzM5gL3
She grabs his hand and leads him to another display. This one was of a special diving suit.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh5MOmBKUc
Melissa: “You can wear this diving suit and drop seven thousand meters in the ocean.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCK4TUUxDp
Izuku: “So deep!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdwUx0ivHa
Next, Melissa takes him to a booth where he can try out some support gear.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHHAsfguXc
Melissa: “This helmet is equipped with 36 different sensors so you can see all around your body.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQwoL0ieVB
Izuku: “Um, I actually can do that already. Sort of.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN6u9DTO8Y
Melissa: “Oh… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnOwo1kGBL
Izuku: “S-Still cool though! Let’s go to the next one!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN10aGRZiH3
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSvI5i5b8c
Melissa: “You know, almost everything here was created based on inventions Papa patented.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkFMlOgYpJ
Izuku: “Wow, I bet you’re proud of him.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTusdMWub9n
Izuku: ‘Wish I could say the same.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5Hw0wSkZ1
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.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfV1vNPMvC
Izuku: “N-No, no, you don’t have to thank me. All Might was the one who recommended you.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXRFY5gLZ5
Melissa: “But Ida is your friend, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want someone you don’t trust working on him.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGPlIeEjL9
Izuku: “I guess… you’re right.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh0hdb3Hrx
Melissa: “So, thanks again. I won’t let you down.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdergYWmSAh
The boy nods and gives her a reassuring smile.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaCG5Mf4Ep
Izuku: “I know you won’t.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaqBb8sT7b
As the two give each other bright smiles, Izuku suddenly feels a chill creep up his spine.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtFZnB6j4G
Kiri: “Having fun?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxodCkhobrH
The boy freezes for a second before slowly turning to face his blank-faced sister.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctcuTwfJ3L
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yf2sUbTkC
Momo: “Ahem. You appear to be having a good time.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBYdgmHikw
Izuku: “Momo, too?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UgdNJnxiX
Jiro: “Midoriya, how’s it going?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI9do4mT54
Izuku: “Even, Jiro? Okay, everyone calm down.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxfvr7qGhZ
Kiri: “We are perfectly calm.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbXfqByGex
Momo: “Very.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUk5mAZBfe
Melissa: “Are these your friends?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelpBmISp6m
Izuku: “Um, y-yeah, these are my classmates.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPobtAoS4JE
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.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz4PJHNZZt
Izuku: “In fact, Momo here is one of the people who will help you in the Engine Project.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cv1E0lzMd
Melissa: “Oh! I knew we’d run into each other eventually. Nice to meet you.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lsCdVtq3M
Momo, not seeing anything really wrong, sighs and shakes Melissa’s offered hand.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDPr5J97W2
Momo: “Likewise.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNmsk0urjE
Melissa: “So what’s your quirk? I heard it’s incredible.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4eOWijGmo
Momo: “Well, I can create things.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwYxqDqDOv
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJA2oFvMN6
Melissa: “Oh my goodness! That’s amazing! No wonder you were put on the project. I can’t wait to meet my other partner.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwjGrtZxKe
Momo: “Well, she is certainly… a character.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Edccwqwy
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.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNGtUIE5qQ
Momo: “Hahaha, you’re just like Izuku when he nerds out.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4VSJJ5z5O
Kiri: “Nh.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx0pTaE02p
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17qrsnTrhA
Jiro: “I’m starting to feel like a third wheel.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn5EdKni6N
Melissa: “Well, we can’t have that. I actually have some ideas in my head regarding your quirk specifically.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBKW1URbb5
Jiro: “Huh? W-Why?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwbr1kT0tj
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.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9j7FXNbNV
Jiro: “W-Well… Momo made that so-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM4HbWaMof
Melissa: “Even more reason for us to discuss this over some tea. Follow me.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy46TlzcSq
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcEiqrm3jb
Kiri: “Love rival?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTe4B1gP06
Izuku: “O-Of course not! We’re just friends. Her father is David Shield, All Might’s friend.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vycGv2aGk
Kiri: “I see. That’s good. After all, you still owe me.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVWJDXBWDu
Izuku: “I…uh…”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPLjwJ5mM1
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD75Y1fc5q
Melissa: “Wow, you all really got to work with pro heroes!? Like on the field?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmpBinaB7w
Kiri: “Nh. Fun.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCuGH5roPl
Momo: “Until it wasn’t it.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs993Nc4qD
Melissa: “Yeah, I heard. I’m sorry you all had to go through such a horrifying experience.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU6MS7hwI6
Jiro: “Well, I wasn’t really there so… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fweTYjcmT
Momo: “I’m glad you weren’t there, Kyoka. It was stressful as is.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD8sYMJRVX
Jiro: “Still, I wish I could have been there to help.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRRaGC1zib
Kiri: “Might happen. So prepare.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptqEFOPUxp
Melissa: “Right! So, about those support gear upgrades I was talking about.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKIsAiRiMF
Izuku starts to tune out the girl talk happening at the other table and focus on his drink.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEZRFidtaG
Denki: “Thanks for waiting.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnk0gYglZe
Izuku: “Thanks for the drink, Kaminari. Still surprised you decided to work on break.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZJTILSfm2
Denki: “Well, they need the extra staff, and they pay, so I thought, why not? I even managed to convince Tokoyami to help out.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerGrlkIKTQ
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
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnPcEOQ0Ky
Denki: “Might give Todoroki a run for his money at this right. Who would have guessed?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtmcUPeHum
Izuku: “Speaking of, where is he?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCI7CHHIId
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3t0rXZiSf
Izuku was the first one to arrive and see what appears to be some sort of battle arena.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CffbPEebW
“A clearance time of 28 seconds. He’s in seventh place.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKZQgb2sAX
On top of a small rocky mountain was Kirishima smiling after defeating several robots scattered about.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOsi9NoNDD
Kiri: “That’s where Rocky went.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOWERG8dgv
The boy turned around to see the rest of his friends arriving on the scene.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRLC0VulqI
Melissa: “So I’m guessing that’s another U.A student as well?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoayp0jfjGj
Izuku: “Yeah, he’s from our class too.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWU1xDGJ2y
“Now, welcome our next challenger!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R0bpu5dOw
The group looks down to see Bakugo walking towards the starting area with a determined gaze.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmkOYsI28s
“The villain attack force has been reset! Ready… go!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDbvOcZ4WJ
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5jkOPZE9g
Bakugo: “DIE!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvCwdcXmd0
Melissa: “Die?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgj81hEBsH
Izuku: “It’s his catchphrase, don’t worry about it?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3r6D8douy
“Look at that time! Only 10 seconds, he’s in first place.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LtTMf2fdw
Kaoru: “Booo! I demand a recount! Boooo!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLchjhBJXX
Apparently, Izuku’s group wasn’t the only one here. Not far away, sitting in the audience, were Kaoru and her friends.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYeB0mhnHQ
Izuku: “You guys, you participated too?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0LRG3YHte
Aoi: “Only Kaoru and Sabrina did. Kaoru got first place with 12 seconds, which is why she is mad.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSKEGUhUS3
Kaoru: “I can’t believe I lost to that jerk.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0Kl3HU0xa
Kiri: “I thought Scary Eyes or Flash would be first.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkzyR7HA5v
Sabrina: “My range is not as good as Kaoru’s. Still got third with 15 seconds.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf9A8vYrYY
Aoi: “If I’m Flash, then it’s because I want everyone else to go first.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngCEh3gXiX
Kiri: “Confident?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLexaAqP2o
Aoi: “Of course.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrPgciA3KG
Melissa: “Wow, Midoriya, you have a lot of colorful friends.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKxOl82aKh
Izuku: “Yeah, I’m lucky to know them.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmjMsAFSRx
Bakugo: “Deku!!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz30bGGbhVB
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas0NBDb3eq
Melissa: “What’s up with those two?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mi8YoNDJA
Momo: “Let’s just say they have history.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOs3zExNgN
Kiri: “Ugh.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUaOZv40Gs
Bakugo: “Why are you here, Deku!? I know you’re not here trying to beat my score.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOh3blgRkH
Izuku: “N-No, I was just checking what caused that loud noise.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ2xGLVwRU
Bakugo: “Tch, I should’ve known you’d back out of this too. You don’t deserve to be here, Deku!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPsEwL4WRu
Izuku: “Are you still on about that?! By that logic, you don’t deserve to be here either!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUON2MtYi4
Before either could say anything more, a surprise cooled them down.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSfneSoolT
Uraraka: “Bakugo, didn’t you say you were going to watch my attempt?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2JlOGaeT9
The duo turned to see Uraraka, who’s about ready to jump down to the starting area.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYD2o1TTyv
Bakugo: “Hah!? I didn’t say that, round face!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoCqAYss6h
Uraraka: “Then you’ll miss how I’ll break your record.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfDiBH1NBW
Bakugo: “There’s no way that’s happening!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbRzW1q3gt
Deciding this was more important, Bakugo jumped over the rail just as Uraraka did. Izuku could only stare in awe.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHgbt0iRrj
Izuku: ‘How did she do that?’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWLfAOAKJK
Denki: “Oh? Does Bakugo have a soft spot for Uraraka?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsveMlY3VB
Kirishima: “Hahaha!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdKBhAZa6R
Bakugo: “Hah!?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlukcLzxK6
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHnzMNOCc5
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWH48hRtVI
All of the robots were torn apart, and the time was called.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ml91auhAz
“Excellent showing! Clear time, 11 seconds!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UdKz4FtFt
Uraraka: “Aw, man! So close.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml69XsfWkH
Kaoru: “No way, I’m third now?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWSghuLKen
Sabrina: “Impressive.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47mPhKzm9Q
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z0w1GnQqx
Izuku: ‘He really is changing… but… for some reason.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuL8ftpINy
I don’t like it.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGwiMfQCwu
Uraraka: “You’re turn, Midoriya.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z9bcCuHGO
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjuO6VlS8x
Kirishima: “Yeah, we want to see what you can do.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF9GbrCcPV
Bakugo: “Tch, like he could beat round face’s score, let alone mine!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQHPKR4Udw
Izuku: “… Fine.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZttm2RKET
As Izuku floats downcast, Aoi sighs.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJClrrCDKE
Aoi: “I shouldn’t have waited. I doubt I can beat his score.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCiYfBYY9J
Kaoru: “Huh?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKGSOccLEv
“We got another challenger! Today is just full of surprises. But what is this?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpzdcYAEph
Instead of standing, Izuku sits on the ground in a meditative state and closes his eyes.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QiSQRGrm2
“Um… are you ready?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk7LRZdXGX
Izuku: “Yes.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLiG1yS4Zq
“Well… okay… start!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNnxkp9BvA
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALiIqFH1V2
All without moving an inch.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDZwl1VMzV
“AMAZING! Seven seconds! SEVEN SECONDS! Two seconds away from our ALL-TIME RECORD!
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqUgR7iOc0
The boy breathed in and out before floating back up to the stands.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUcwwPm7nX
Kiri: “As expected.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQtXFRXqcT
Kirishima: “Way to go, man!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cqiQTfjky
Karou: “Ugh, I have to get better at sensing things; I could have done that too!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHHHL9Ynhy
Bakugo: “Tch! I’m going again and blowing that score to ash!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55sY5VTkOX
“SIX SECONDS!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYQum9zlWA
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXfY2caBBA
Denki: “Yep, should have seen that coming.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6udfeFjy9
Bakugo: “Him again!?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwPN3SKlwG
Melissa: “Another one from U.A? You guys are amazing! You’re all going to be great heroes.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYxCmXTRgt
Momo: “You’re too kind.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIbcG0hlZ9
“Due to the state of the area, we will only allow one more challenger.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIVKQB53jB
Bakugo: “Me!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP6HFtJcbV
“No retries.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRug5PJMlo
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRgzyHwxth
Kirishima: “Maybe next time, Bakugo.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuamHIp4pz
Izuku: “So, who’s going?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeDLDzxTuE
Jiro: “Not interested. I don’t want to embarrass myself.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupFFsbI2pG
Kiri: “Boring.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl77dHHZ07
Aoi: “I lost my chance. I can’t beat six seconds.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNWGxSJ1t5
Shiho: “I want to see what Yaoyorozu can do.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYQXTYvpnh
Momo: “M-Me?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbJzlpnX0Z
Melissa: “Oh, yeah! Me too! I want to see your quirk in action.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnF3e7eS4u
Shiho: “And I heard that you’ve gotten stronger; I’m curious.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PT9jPnjnL
Momo: “I-I don’t think I can beat six seconds either.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LaTC4xdji
Izuku: “You don’t have to. Just… have fun.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrZfu83ZIr
Kiri: “Like Rocky.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePBnPsHnvN
Kirishima: “Yeah, it’s a good test of your current skill too.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZpRD9jLS8
Momo: “I… alright! I won’t disappoint you all.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTU3cTiU99
Momo vaulted the rail, landing down below.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tmYswxfxM
"And here’s our last challenger for this evening! Are you ready?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPsWasSaaT
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTx1nGvkzL
"GO!"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ3YYru9tp
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42RSvc31J3
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTfxPnDo4h
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwiLW0SGJP
Momo quickly rolled back to her feet and soared into the sky. She created a bow, and this thing looked mean.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCW3DMgARA
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQl3K90m6h
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjNmFAVS4s
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9G5qRxiCw
All the while, Melissa had been marveling at Momo's performance.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpRCzhjMTA
Melissa: 'Amazing. What destructive strength! But is it just me, or…'
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx25mswHfnT
"Another amazing performance! The time is 12 seconds, tying with one of our former first placers.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMIpl7Mult
Momo smiled, waving at the crowd as she leapt back up to the stands.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeUYdYrxXf
Kiri: “Well done.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSONMaNQc0
Izuku: “Way to go, Momo. You might not have gotten first place, but you looked the coolest.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiUnlWXk1f
Momo: “Thank you!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8exaY5FZN
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuT9tpS79h
Melissa: “Excuse me, but I have a question.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP5Pdey5Am
Momo: “Yes?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9J0YYDCrd
Melissa: “What was the draw on that bow? It was quite big.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAPsnds2wG
Momo: “Um… fifteen hundred kilograms.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoEKRAO0lt
She says with a slight blush.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBKaD9b8tV
Melissa: “Really! You must have a strength quirk as well.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjCCQkDhVM
Momo: “Well… no I-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZU7jl4kAC
Jiro: “Yeah, I was wondering about that too, Momo. What was all that red lightning and sudden increase of strength?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz1lOPElX6
Momo: “I-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUvwzRp6Xo
Izuku: “Just say your quirk evolved.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6owUGXggn
Momo: “Are you sure that will work?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPvVMIHDUO
Izuku: “It has to. Maybe Melissa can know, but not Jiro. I’m sorry.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwLAYOfVre
The girl sighed and agreed to the telepathic plan.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENVdyQcTpm
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.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJBU9r8Iu7
Jiro: “Oh, that makes sense. Congrats.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyLByUABLZ
Melissa: “I see, I guess that works.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLIGg0MsbZ
Kiri: “Engine Project.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUA8NGTVkU
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.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP9c1JT4NM
Izuku: “Thanks, Kiri.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh2J2RMLbZ
Kiri: “Nh.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpYhEknPqA
Momo: “I have no idea where that girl could-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4SHV6P7jV
Mei: “There you all are! See, I told you I knew where they would be.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTMzrBCyUL
Jiro: “Speak of the mechanical devil.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLvEZMoD2Q
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw4dg5CiS6
For whatever reason, Izuku felt something off about him. Despite that, he doesn’t show his discomfort.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1emgpUVMu9
Mei: “Let me show you someone who appreciates my babies almost as much as me, Soma Kageyama.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK5pPpDzJC
Izuku: “Wow, you remember his name?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTPu6vlan2
Soma ignored everyone else and went straight for Izuku. He offered his hand and smiled.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AJaLLQi1j
Soma: “Nice to finally meet you, Izuku Midoriya.”
