Here they stand, on the rooftop across from one another. Izuku and Kaoru were in their hero costumes, ready for the battle at hand. But unlike Izuku’s armor, Kaoru’s costume looks like the school uniform if it were stylish and had a medium-sized cape.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2p4Fe2wRZ
Fubuki: “Please don’t damage the roof. That’s not an expense I want to pay right now.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtxq1CXuFc
Izuku glances up at his sisters, who are observing in the sky.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG3Iz84O4H
Tatsumaki: “A nice additional challenge.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw86ZGq2suO
Izuku: ‘Right, because we won’t be able to throw rubble at each other. Have to be creative.’
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNlbG648Jo
Kaoru: “No problem. So, are you ready?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOO1RAuelz
Izuku: “Yes.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtidqxA2cYB
Tatsumaki: “Tournament rules. If you are knocked off the roof, you lose.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMcGK5RWn6
Fubuki: “Start.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrvOTDSVWr
Immediately, Izuku felt a pulse in his mind. A gentle knock showing him that Fubuki will be bugging him throughout this whole fight.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR07XhqZwQ
Thanks to that, he only barely prevented himself from being blown off the roof by a psychic push.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXmON6zwLK
Fubuki: “While I occasionally poke your mind, try to do the same with Kaoru. This will help with your focus and your ability to mentally affect others during a fight without… you know.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTieNZjowcE
Izuku: “R-Right!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgpT8Eorb8
Izuku: ‘Easier said than done, though.’
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpLGDH8DXU
Due to the circumstances, Izuku had little choice but to play defensively. Kaoru was throwing air bullets and trying her best to literally trip Izuku up.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uRsMSiTIQ
But he dodged the bullets and righted himself before he face-planted. All the while, he kept eye contact with Kaoru, who was smiling at her apparent domination of the fight. That’s until-
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4b0nozQGx
Izuku: “Behind you.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VzPr2cJ1T
Hearing Izuku’s voice in her head, Kaoru stopped her assault for a moment, enough for the emerald esper to-
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRr5VwTBeM
Pulse.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHDg3ewSKH
Teleport to the wrong location, above Kaoru.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9Y0t0ejmU
Kaoru: “What the-”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQeqBwQyPI
Izuku collapses on her, causing them to both fall to the ground in a… somewhat scandalous position.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSMUfBsTX7
Kaoru: “W-What are you… g-get off!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMH7x1T8AP
Izuku: “S-Sor-”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4kp0sQ65j
Unable to finish, he was blasted into the air and again-
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BrNFnrzhj
Pulse.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRdss9lXGT
His mind is assaulted with a familiar knock. Focus broken, he was unable to stop Kaoru from binding his body with a telekinetic hold.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh6qC2dFMB
Sensing an immediate ring out, Izuku tried to gather enough to break the binding. But he couldn’t focus because of the pulse.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIWuK8MayV
No… it was strangely weak before that. Deep down, he knows why but refuses to acknowledge the cause. So instead, he shifts tactics.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQMMMRJhz1
He waits for Kaoru to fling him towards a ring out, that one moment when her psychic hold disappears, letting gravity do the rest.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1zng2C0Nu
When the moment came, he forced himself to teleport back to the starting position. But when he reemerged, he felt nauseous.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdZYe6PtQY
Holding his mouth, he pushed the sensation down-
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Ph9CR054
Pulse.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKExEtaGc3b
Izuku: “Ugh.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiwNEArqtD
He placed a weak psychic barrier up to protect himself from Kaoru’s telekinetic push. But the effort was enough to force him to one knee. Seeing his weakened state, Kaoru only pushed harder while walking towards him.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnz7KggaLS
Karou: “Wow, this is easier than I thought. What’s wrong? Do you think you can beat me without trying or something? Or is the handicap that bad?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ9oz1IgmH
Fubuki: “Maybe she’s right, I’ll sto-”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJyT0WRy6f
Izuku: “No!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9DK6FrxxY
His sister’s eyes widen as her brother’s voice come through a bit distorted.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaFwMLYfAW
Izuku: “Don’t hold back, I can keep going. I will overcome this.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEFesimCWw
The middle child takes a look at Tatsumaki before making a decision. Her face was blank but focused on the match. She couldn’t help but wonder how Tatsumaki would feel if Izuku lost.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoPn1J0kzX
Fubuki: ‘Would she be disappointed with him too?’
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWlLcaE58v
Not wanting to test that out, she decided to lie. This will be the last one.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ905XaXqgl2
Fubuki: “… Very well.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma0cGbQwFC
Pulse.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE1irz0mJK
And the shield buckles further.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabyxcMesPP
Izuku: “T-Thank you.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u7DZk3iMP
His mind is a mess, confused and unfocused, making the use of his quirk overwhelmingly difficult.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNmnbyU3hO
But that doesn’t mean he can’t use it. He just has to be a bit reckless. He breathes in and reverses his psychic shield’s properties.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V27kpHUSZ
Screw finesse, that takes too much focus. So even if it causes veins to pop on his head and blood to flow out his nose, he will go full force. Just in the opposite direction.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoINF1Ko7mV
Instead of repelling, the shield draws everything in. Combined with Kaoru’s pushing, it produced enough force to pull the girl towards Izuku.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjGNz4BGMn
Drawn in by her and Izuku’s psychic power, Kaoru was yanked forward with a bewildered face. Right into Izuku’s waiting arms.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNDB7SV5Fn
Within range, Izuku bear-hugged her. It doesn’t take much thought to squeeze with his enhanced strength.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFWBUenRrP
Kaoru: “Gugh!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OA1aBhoLK
Izuku: “Give… up!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz04svnjy9
Oh, she wants to. The combined pressure of the psychic compression and super bear hug would break the spine of a normal human. But this is Kaoru, the one who will someday surpass Tatsumaki. This is only the first step!
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjse7lOtCk1
So she uses all her strength to push outward, against the crushing force. Her body lights up pinkish red, and Izuku is forced to close his eyes, but he doesn’t let go.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt2d4VAcGI
Instead, his focus is improving over time without being assaulted by the pulses. But his psychic strength is still not on Kaoru’s level right now; his grip is slowly being loosened.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXUoLbu5Np
And if she gets loose or another pulse comes in, Izuku fears that he’ll lose.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxv8poLIUe
But he has to win to prove to himself that he can succeed without relying on that part of himself. But despite that desire, he is forced to use a tactic dangerously close to The First.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD5zTFxocM
He slams his head into Kaoru and sacrifices some of the psychic power behind the crushing force. All to use a mental attack, a command.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4067CHQRJ
Izuku: “Sleep!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDMSt6FdLN
A second later, Kaoru’s eyes roll back as she falls unconscious. But her psychic power doesn’t just disappear, no, it explodes outwards as the crushing force was now weak enough to overpower.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfqyygWkOh
Kaoru falls to the ground, while Izuku is pushed off the roof. Exhausted, the boy was unable to properly fly up or teleport back to safety.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hzMqNBxfi
Before he can panic, green energy caught him and gently brought him back to the roof.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxjoeEZoW1
Tatsumaki and Fubuki descend to the ground, worry etched on their faces. Fubuki gets out some tissues and wipes the blood off of Izuku.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91DMkWck3I
Tatsumaki: “Are you alright?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqCrHjGAD4
Izuku: “I-I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuZIvJutX7
The eldest looks at her brother and then at the sleeping Kaoru.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyT1LeMiiw
Tatsumaki: “You were knocked off the roof, but you knocked Kaoru out before that. I guess we can count it as a tie.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0dBxIzg9O
Fubuki: “And that’s fine.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qcDh5Wwji
The eldest couldn’t help but glance at Izuku and narrow her eyes ever so slightly.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryRMnGyhkm
Tatsumaki: “… I suppose.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUXFDVTIlx
Again, she looks back toward Kaoru and replays the fight in her mind. Then she recounts all the battles Izuku has had up until this point and the abilities he has learned. Sighing, she goes to her sitting brother and kneels before him.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDFJInZJw8
She looks deep into his eyes, trying to figure out the puzzle behind them.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JqdKNJxYt
Izuku: “T-Tatsu?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yXiaica7V
Fubuki: “What is it? Is something wrong with Izu?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpZq1qBNYZ
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I want to know.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz418L1xic
Izuku: “W-What are you t-talking about?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGAM8N9XSx
Tatsumaki: “I know Fubuki was messing with your head, but… I know you’re stronger than this. You weren’t holding back, right?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmpHF8ePC8
Izuku: “N-No, of course not!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLifLhoubNl
Tatsumaki: “Then what’s wrong?
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE5SAS7Jhf
Before Izuku could even think of revealing everything, Fubuki got up and glared at her big sister.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9HLnz3TgL
Fubuki: “There’s nothing wrong with Izu. He was distracted with my mental probing, nothing more.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuK33fOGWq
Tatsumaki: “And? I know he can handle that. Besides, he didn’t use his psi sword or transmutation. He shouldn’t have struggled this much.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGubu1vrNVJ
Fubuki: “That’s unreasonable; you expect too much.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQCehAq4t5
Tatsumaki: “And you expect too little.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6dPZrXuxh
A slip of mixed frustration escapes from the building chamber within the younger.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwjn3P3whc
Fubuki: “Stop trying to push your high expectations on Izu!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMVOT99JhN
Matching the energy given, Tatsumaki gets up and floats above Fubuki.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs1wnq8fkp
Tatsumaki: “My expectations are not high! You’re the one who doesn’t seem to have faith in our brother! He has to become stronger!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYOkY20x3b
As things took an unexpected and heated turn, Izuku went from confused to worried and finally landed on upset.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZuv2hManP
Izuku: “Enough!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKAfkW2EI0
The sisters stop, and their glares soften for a moment before turning to their precious little brother.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWniv0msPRx
Izuku: “Please, don’t argue over me. Fubuki is right. I-I was just distracted by the mental pulses. Nothing to worry about; I am going to get stronger. Trust me. Now, apologize.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zUwjiBHMs
The two sisters turn to each other, an apology on their lips. But whether due to pride or insecurity, they are unable to say it.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JN2TF56qM
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “Hmph!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuY2dBjebH
Izuku: ‘I’ve never seen them argue like this. And of course, it’s because of me… ’
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUapbpyVMWD
Again, he thinks about telling them everything he told Kiri. She accepted him; they will too, surely. The question is timing.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAtqWZg6r2
As the trio cools down, they hear some shuffling behind them.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUrLJLOpuX
Kaoru: “Ugh, what happened? Did I lose?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTikED2Naj
Tatsumaki: “Tie.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk4zndw0JR
Fubuki: “You knocked Izuku off the roof while he knocked you out.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG1bv50Acj
Kaoru: “But how? The last thing I remember was the bear hug, and then… I felt sleepy.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPrkLo6BCs
Izuku: “I-I-I’m sorry! I didn’t want to lose, so I tried something invasive a-and… mentally told your body it was time to sleep.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMksgxrSMN
Fubuki: ‘A mental command? Something else to try.’
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0My80WQbCc
Kaoru: “Whoa, that’s kind of… scary.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIYTvnI7Zh
Tatsumaki: “Relax, Izu would never abuse it. Besides, you have a psychic quirk; you should be able to build defenses against it over time.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZphEOrSZ4
Kaoru: “Great! When do we start?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvcBqDyvRq
Fubuki: “Later, that’s enough psychic training for one day.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA7Lg0z4Yd
Tatsumaki: “Of course you’d say that.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tFJSSw22c
Fubuki ignored that whispered comment and walked towards the exit.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD71QDzZ5M
Fubuki: “Right now, we should go inside and see if Emory is awake too. I don’t want to neglect her.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFzXp4inc2
Kaoru and Tatsumaki follow Fubuki while Izuku pulls himself up.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ9osg2lZx
Izuku: “Fubuki, I have a favor to ask.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLfJ5muqa5
The middle child turns back, letting Tatsu and Kaoru enter the building first.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlvQNdiAWr
Fubuki: “Yes?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J4NOTHjta
Izuku: “I-I might be wrong, but don’t internships allow for students to spend the night at the agency? I would like to do that so I can start training as soon as possible.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6izJkFYHJH
Fubuki: “… Alright, just don’t work yourself too hard. You’re still young, Izu; don’t beat yourself up if you don’t meet expectations right away.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYPMbF4Hfy
Izuku: “I won’t, but the villains-”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgb4n6EC7l
Fubuki: “Me and Tatsu will deal with them. You don’t have to worry about them. Okay?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNZFeY5jEK
Izuku: “… I understand.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnu9R1SlrP
Fubuki: “Good, now call Mom and tell her you’re staying over.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx7i2NbkE8
After nodding, the boy takes out his phone and calls Inko. She quickly picks it up.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XBJvC9ZVZ
Inko: “Hello, Izu! How are you and Fubuki?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OzS7mb00K
Fubuki: “Tell her I said hi.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hm6Z6QYlP
Izuku: “We’re fine, and Fubuki says hi.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWZsgM9pp0
Inko: “Aww, tell her I said hi too. So, why are you calling?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1YYqCkzYi
Izuku: “I’m planning on staying the night with Fubuki’s agency. I wanted to let you know.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp57OTC2kX
Inko: “Oh, that? Toshi told me that was a possibility. Have fun!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjV8o0ZaNY
A blink.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BEOQJtVx4
Another blink?
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeYXb8fSE9
Inko: “Izuku?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13umGDO2S1
Izuku: “T-Toshi?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qCkofIt1s
Inko: “O-Oh, d-did I say that?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEUK5vo8RA
Izuku: “Yes.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z9b8MlxHd
Inko: “W-Well, I-I guess I forgot to tell you that Toshinori and I h-have been meeting up. F-For progress reports! On you. That is.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGBTl6taEP
…
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYee3svukgz
Inko: “H-Honey?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqnzminaAo
Izuku: “Speak to you soon.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb5Iz1vbs8
Fubuki could tell something was wrong when Izuku hung up so coldly.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOb1QsFUfQ
Fubuki: “Izu, what’s wrong?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf741LBuPD
He looks to his sister with steel in his eyes.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvJD6Z1yRR
Izuku: “Assemble the family.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOYoVI4iEh
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWbPOQtvG3
Kiri’s face turns cold as she gets up from her position. Compromised, she didn’t see a point in hiding and transformed into her Valkyrie persona.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLQW8AEdOe
Edgeshot: “Nice to meet you again.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ795tsMeZOT
Valkyrie: “Now what? Will you try to take me in for being a hero?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtCklqCD8w
Edgeshot: “You are a vigilante.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBdOULy7NE
Valkyrie: “I help people.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RNW92HKe9
Edgeshot: “Scared them more like. What you did to those quirk beasts-”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsSDEuQmz1
Valkyrie: “Was angry, and I wouldn’t do that to humans.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIgH7TnKBj
Edgeshot: “… Based on your past work, I believe that. If it weren’t for Nezu, I would attempt to bring you in.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGGK9dcQSK
Valkyrie: “You won’t… fight me?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkQmkHOU9k
Her guard lowers ever so slightly; it would be enough for Edgeshot to quickly subdue her. In her Valkyrie form, she’s likely stronger and has a greater reach, but that’s something the pro hero can overcome if needed.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNG96GKafQ
Good thing it’s not.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3KoqLpzeJ
Edgeshot: “No. I was one of the few who noticed the camera footage and would have tried to take you in. It did seem like you infiltrated U.A, but the principal explained things.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFwzQWOL8Y
Valkyrie: “Then why bring it up?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxRRHS2JHy
Edgeshot: “To warn you to be more careful. Not everyone will know the principal or be as understanding as me. But more than that… ”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbwu29Z09s
Kiri could hear it: changes in the environment.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63RBq0UDiz
Valkyrie: ‘Traps? All over?’
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ak7F1fEGe
Edgeshot: “I understand what you are, but it is hard to believe. On the off chance you managed to trick everyone, I’ll make sure to keep a close eye on you.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH12vcuV5eH
Valkyrie: “… Nh. Can I go now?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vlJfUSJNE
Edgeshot: “Yes.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL9h75GyZA
Transforming back to her normal form, Kiri walks past Edgeshot and enters the elevator. When she pressed the button for the bottom floor, she released the breath she was holding.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UDmgCJ1n1
Kiri: “Dangerous. As expected.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrziVpP7kzf
Besides her sisters, Edgeshot was one of the heroes she tried to avoid when she was just Valkyrie. It seems like that was the right choice.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj39CVfwkHA
As Kiri regained her footing, her phone rang. After a moment trying to remember how those things work, she answered with a smile. Izuku was calling after all.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpwhJ3ubSd
Kiri: “Yes, Izu.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43EY9sKMOg
After a moment, she nodded her head. This is some serious business, but despite that, she smiled. For now, she could be with her family for a while.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IBRtv23GJ
Kiri: “Okay, I’m coming.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwArcwxtPNe
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq1ZaROMBv
An Hour Later
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tld5fc3TO
Toshinori was just leaving the grocery store and walking out to his car. Once he entered the car, he drove off into the street. He stopped at a red light that illuminated the inside of his car. He looked up into the rearview mirror…
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuvgao1YAX
… and saw the Midoriya children in the backseat.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQm6OxPVfm
Izuku: “Good evening, All Might.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxSQNo4IWx
All Might: “AAAAAHHH!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdgdcEsVmd
The hero panicked and swerved off the road into a nearby lot. He stomped on the brakes and sat there trying to catch his breath.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvUIldPhf7
Fubuki: “Or should we say-”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGsPReAX8j
Tatsumaki: “Toshi.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpwhxLRjO5
Kiri: “Bad man.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEa2wuUhbE
All Might: “… I can explain.”
