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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcKXw5gXvi
Fubuki: “Please don’t damage the roof. That’s not an expense I want to pay right now.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4FuKDg5of
Izuku glances up at his sisters, who are observing in the sky.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFgUPPaifD
Tatsumaki: “A nice additional challenge.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItQx5oTTYu
Izuku: ‘Right, because we won’t be able to throw rubble at each other. Have to be creative.’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJICxADMsr
Kaoru: “No problem. So, are you ready?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkig0Iue3fK
Izuku: “Yes.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz31goNA5VN
Tatsumaki: “Tournament rules. If you are knocked off the roof, you lose.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaT5zbWNiC
Fubuki: “Start.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy66V4PY06w
Immediately, Izuku felt a pulse in his mind. A gentle knock showing him that Fubuki will be bugging him throughout this whole fight.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiYb63pIt7
Thanks to that, he only barely prevented himself from being blown off the roof by a psychic push.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BINOoXlJD
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMc1cAJDvL
Izuku: “R-Right!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUYXwbXQWZ
Izuku: ‘Easier said than done, though.’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXMpylEMG9
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFRuAAuBw5
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-
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1ybrX10gn
Izuku: “Behind you.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DpfCFYCv7
Hearing Izuku’s voice in her head, Kaoru stopped her assault for a moment, enough for the emerald esper to-
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjSeqgUvW2
Pulse.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpqRqJKYCD
Teleport to the wrong location, above Kaoru.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcHVRUXyE5
Kaoru: “What the-”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiZnzV8X41
Izuku collapses on her, causing them to both fall to the ground in a… somewhat scandalous position.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6OZPerBx2
Kaoru: “W-What are you… g-get off!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YAV1E6Akb
Izuku: “S-Sor-”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVELm7m1cEx
Unable to finish, he was blasted into the air and again-
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbJisoEi4Z
Pulse.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoqgmfoyR5
His mind is assaulted with a familiar knock. Focus broken, he was unable to stop Kaoru from binding his body with a telekinetic hold.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fz6NyVv0D
Sensing an immediate ring out, Izuku tried to gather enough to break the binding. But he couldn’t focus because of the pulse.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3xVbE58Fh
No… it was strangely weak before that. Deep down, he knows why but refuses to acknowledge the cause. So instead, he shifts tactics.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj5ebFSk5P
He waits for Kaoru to fling him towards a ring out, that one moment when her psychic hold disappears, letting gravity do the rest.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWEkSCn7Op
When the moment came, he forced himself to teleport back to the starting position. But when he reemerged, he felt nauseous.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcOer0mT8Z
Holding his mouth, he pushed the sensation down-
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCRgnXpQYi
Pulse.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20MNadasIm
Izuku: “Ugh.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtRJTZ6xuz
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXQOtUrSFa
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?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJhkqzVRA3
Fubuki: “Maybe she’s right, I’ll sto-”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvceJEMPa4M
Izuku: “No!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOLsrevQ59
His sister’s eyes widen as her brother’s voice come through a bit distorted.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzBxbUtlcC
Izuku: “Don’t hold back, I can keep going. I will overcome this.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PPlu5AdRy
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uinv7C5Cp
Fubuki: ‘Would she be disappointed with him too?’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkaCe78fji
Not wanting to test that out, she decided to lie. This will be the last one.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1lHd1u8Io
Fubuki: “… Very well.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCU0prIoQO
Pulse.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W5oNjDMJx
And the shield buckles further.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWW5bGe3s6
Izuku: “T-Thank you.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qGvJp4FxM
His mind is a mess, confused and unfocused, making the use of his quirk overwhelmingly difficult.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8w5c3cjoM
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBErX18W97
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYjhw8CJvk
Instead of repelling, the shield draws everything in. Combined with Kaoru’s pushing, it produced enough force to pull the girl towards Izuku.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWuCX6TX6M
Drawn in by her and Izuku’s psychic power, Kaoru was yanked forward with a bewildered face. Right into Izuku’s waiting arms.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE2Z8QXzWQ
Within range, Izuku bear-hugged her. It doesn’t take much thought to squeeze with his enhanced strength.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHClyFrTx7
Kaoru: “Gugh!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6akGZWX1vB
Izuku: “Give… up!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxRraqkVLt
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!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4wOUQyj5J
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv39J6pGoA
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOpGBnZcGT
And if she gets loose or another pulse comes in, Izuku fears that he’ll lose.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCPwUrvTEF
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzWQZwoWJ7
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo8bExyEQZ
Izuku: “Sleep!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYQ5NJaUaN
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyHH0w2YF9
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mzLpuin8U
Before he can panic, green energy caught him and gently brought him back to the roof.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EHEFRJBJi
Tatsumaki and Fubuki descend to the ground, worry etched on their faces. Fubuki gets out some tissues and wipes the blood off of Izuku.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXgcSlzW1i
Tatsumaki: “Are you alright?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMAt1KMR5f
Izuku: “I-I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNShF3sCqZe
The eldest looks at her brother and then at the sleeping Kaoru.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa1LpvjkhH
Tatsumaki: “You were knocked off the roof, but you knocked Kaoru out before that. I guess we can count it as a tie.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssGfQ9SKHY
Fubuki: “And that’s fine.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaSkrqgNnO
The eldest couldn’t help but glance at Izuku and narrow her eyes ever so slightly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdk4Uc8SMF
Tatsumaki: “… I suppose.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdc3GoGgeF
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQXLiSupj1
She looks deep into his eyes, trying to figure out the puzzle behind them.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUaZKz9ZQy
Izuku: “T-Tatsu?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhPdk9eTtl
Fubuki: “What is it? Is something wrong with Izu?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGV4Ejd5Q4
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I want to know.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LKaF8lPjw
Izuku: “W-What are you t-talking about?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1mtvfLAQI
Tatsumaki: “I know Fubuki was messing with your head, but… I know you’re stronger than this. You weren’t holding back, right?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFAdJtA7y8
Izuku: “N-No, of course not!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLgdLDokXa
Tatsumaki: “Then what’s wrong?
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKit5KfGGN7
Before Izuku could even think of revealing everything, Fubuki got up and glared at her big sister.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kkowefltZ
Fubuki: “There’s nothing wrong with Izu. He was distracted with my mental probing, nothing more.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hrGJr9Onz
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hTt8IvW7g
Fubuki: “That’s unreasonable; you expect too much.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ13YeWHypR
Tatsumaki: “And you expect too little.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu6Q5JXP1a
A slip of mixed frustration escapes from the building chamber within the younger.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48KujkCABC
Fubuki: “Stop trying to push your high expectations on Izu!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeTKcop2uY
Matching the energy given, Tatsumaki gets up and floats above Fubuki.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR8Jc5WGKa
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!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRZmP6K05e
As things took an unexpected and heated turn, Izuku went from confused to worried and finally landed on upset.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV8N8T0sKT
Izuku: “Enough!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJdXkW0dq4
The sisters stop, and their glares soften for a moment before turning to their precious little brother.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4gJm0UHJi
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfa2xEMAc6
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQawiJ3r7HZ
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “Hmph!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI7t1836Iu
Izuku: ‘I’ve never seen them argue like this. And of course, it’s because of me… ’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHShUDlmC7
Again, he thinks about telling them everything he told Kiri. She accepted him; they will too, surely. The question is timing.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEXEYNTVbX
As the trio cools down, they hear some shuffling behind them.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa4Z9HDOva
Kaoru: “Ugh, what happened? Did I lose?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYDpJu2QND
Tatsumaki: “Tie.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNrx738giO
Fubuki: “You knocked Izuku off the roof while he knocked you out.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jJ8ueWuM3
Kaoru: “But how? The last thing I remember was the bear hug, and then… I felt sleepy.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ5eG8V1qS
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSiPjCP181
Fubuki: ‘A mental command? Something else to try.’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r3CuKwhle
Kaoru: “Whoa, that’s kind of… scary.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgHlLPMKOn
Tatsumaki: “Relax, Izu would never abuse it. Besides, you have a psychic quirk; you should be able to build defenses against it over time.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3cXJMPev2
Kaoru: “Great! When do we start?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6RKzGbFY6
Fubuki: “Later, that’s enough psychic training for one day.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHW5x5ytVi
Tatsumaki: “Of course you’d say that.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBaZoscLhG
Fubuki ignored that whispered comment and walked towards the exit.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHt3uqlEjg
Fubuki: “Right now, we should go inside and see if Emory is awake too. I don’t want to neglect her.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ531W4g01
Kaoru and Tatsumaki follow Fubuki while Izuku pulls himself up.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuckRdXffbR
Izuku: “Fubuki, I have a favor to ask.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIw8WVdM0D
The middle child turns back, letting Tatsu and Kaoru enter the building first.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10V9zrrn9E
Fubuki: “Yes?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLaYzBkdzw
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpffwPRZGHa
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGBAVxSE8v
Izuku: “I won’t, but the villains-”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQygCHWHGIh
Fubuki: “Me and Tatsu will deal with them. You don’t have to worry about them. Okay?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc6HZ0Bb6W
Izuku: “… I understand.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTNDUaPfDY
Fubuki: “Good, now call Mom and tell her you’re staying over.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty2mG1Qm1T
After nodding, the boy takes out his phone and calls Inko. She quickly picks it up.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PVYwV5D3f
Inko: “Hello, Izu! How are you and Fubuki?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ4tHqZtyO
Fubuki: “Tell her I said hi.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM77q5dUku
Izuku: “We’re fine, and Fubuki says hi.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3xvYQVerC
Inko: “Aww, tell her I said hi too. So, why are you calling?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ecFcJ7XW7
Izuku: “I’m planning on staying the night with Fubuki’s agency. I wanted to let you know.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWvKGsRRdU
Inko: “Oh, that? Toshi told me that was a possibility. Have fun!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPntTD1cBNO
A blink.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyckkB828Q
Another blink?
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnzyz8zt1u
Inko: “Izuku?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFdtplmtEK
Izuku: “T-Toshi?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEqB5SMiF3
Inko: “O-Oh, d-did I say that?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM3wOEagSH
Izuku: “Yes.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXgRPrCAnl
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Xz66HM9M
…
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Tcylz0ef
Inko: “H-Honey?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY2OeOjteO
Izuku: “Speak to you soon.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt8DQN2FC6
Fubuki could tell something was wrong when Izuku hung up so coldly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bE2DwAwaz
Fubuki: “Izu, what’s wrong?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RITbLgiTE
He looks to his sister with steel in his eyes.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4A8DWmjHK
Izuku: “Assemble the family.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCAIhF0egE
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mpImht7v5
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0xXU8apNS
Edgeshot: “Nice to meet you again.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCnEMEEUTl
Valkyrie: “Now what? Will you try to take me in for being a hero?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4c0a17eCl
Edgeshot: “You are a vigilante.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Kiid9WzY
Valkyrie: “I help people.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi6nIbcRIb
Edgeshot: “Scared them more like. What you did to those quirk beasts-”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UKUkMk3Yr
Valkyrie: “Was angry, and I wouldn’t do that to humans.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt574Ybhrp
Edgeshot: “… Based on your past work, I believe that. If it weren’t for Nezu, I would attempt to bring you in.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GmUj63QbR
Valkyrie: “You won’t… fight me?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloTtUBsLId
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYawHQ4iKy0
Good thing it’s not.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnykIaHkgkF
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoLd9JjYAs
Valkyrie: “Then why bring it up?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6ht0Y7Bxc
Edgeshot: “To warn you to be more careful. Not everyone will know the principal or be as understanding as me. But more than that… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Nh0abTbj
Kiri could hear it: changes in the environment.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr8Hb2hcQn
Valkyrie: ‘Traps? All over?’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6stOF6zFQ
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwipxXFrgc
Valkyrie: “… Nh. Can I go now?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFyF4UMvTo
Edgeshot: “Yes.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdaJRj0dSn
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAkfIRINQ2
Kiri: “Dangerous. As expected.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44k3ghqREF
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n42gNVH5y
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuRDBHidia
Kiri: “Yes, Izu.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIILBLL743b
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjaLHn8zvW
Kiri: “Okay, I’m coming.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm800rHdan
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvCW3Ws9SQ
An Hour Later
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90F8e5QqdD
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…
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuPKiJyRzw
… and saw the Midoriya children in the backseat.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6r9eajizt
Izuku: “Good evening, All Might.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRlEjUD0hd
All Might: “AAAAAHHH!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIRMbZ3suB
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jwh8BAHTd
Fubuki: “Or should we say-”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKyJkNBQkv
Tatsumaki: “Toshi.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9KKQnA5Js
Kiri: “Bad man.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTgUsg3MqM
All Might: “… I can explain.”
