The next day, Izuku awoke with the feeling of something warm and alive on top of him. His sleepy eyes fluttered open to find Kiri lying on his chest, her smaller body rising and falling gently alongside each breath he took. They resembled an otter parent and child pair lazing atop each other, her little fists clutching his pajama shirt tight while she dozed peacefully. A lock of his dark hair drifted near her mouth, and she began to chew on it, even drooling a little.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIGHXR83mN
However, there’s a problem.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVbA27ngX6
Kiri: “Nmu… ”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3aAVr29Yd
This is his room, and she shouldn’t be here. Izuku fought down his blush and sucked in his panic.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTxsUWcSgk
Izuku: ‘Did she sleepwalk?’
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4mt25yjHE
Glancing at his bedside clock, he noticed it was almost time to get up and get ready for school. The boy tried to gently slide her off without waking her up. Ironically, his actions had the opposite effect when she held on tighter the moment she felt her 'bed' shifting.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHbAIyy9Ut
With no choice, Izuku prodded at her cheek tenderly, careful not to startle her.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzQH7r7aFI
Izuku: "Kiri?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPBCfgFrw9
Kiri: "Nn?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTq4kcoyyw
The little girl let out a small yawn.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl0wrjT514
Kiri: "Nii-chan… ”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SKNoGkvO4
Izuku: "Y-Yeah, it's me. W-What are you doing here?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKgYaPXsHc
Kiri: “Wanted… to be close to you.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F6cJ6JSKj
Izuku: “But… we can’t sleep in the same bed. You should’ve stayed in your room. Did you sleepwalk?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzwMtl8TsD
Kiri: “No, I couldn’t sleep… until I was with you.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7boRkjEPx
She looked at him with such innocent eyes, dispelling any worries of other thoughts. But still, this can’t go on. Izuku shifted their positions so they were sitting cross-legged across from each other.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO0w8YE4EK
Izuku: “Kiri, we have to clear up the misunderstanding at school.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDwy17ot6r
Kiri: “What misunderstanding?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXJAa3BWcx
Izuku: “That you’re my… girlfriend.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd2r7A1keJ
Kiri: “But I’m a girl, and you’re my friend.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3wGeQHrfO
Izuku: “Yes, but a girlfriend is something different. It’s… only for couples.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05lA0oaxaH
Kiri: “Couples?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7naQHe2z3
Izuku: “Y-Yes, those who love each other.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOvqZ4mPDS
Kiri: “But… I do love you.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB4MAafbnL
Izuku couldn’t help but blush a bit from that. Sure, he sees Kiri as a little sister, but she’s still a cute girl. Hearing that from a cute girl would of course get a reaction.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezBd46V4jS
A reaction that made Kiri feel… strange again. More good this time.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoNAQYYzom
Izuku: “I-I-I know you do, b-but that’s familial love, not romantic.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsLy7wJsP2
Kiri: “What’s… the difference?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt3Fh2oilC
Izuku: “Um, one is for your family, and the other is for someone you… intend to marry.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOir7W3gx5
Kiri: “Mmmmmm, can’t we get married?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTT70MFgbX
Izuku: “W-What!? No!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgZt8jr7Mo
Kiri: “Why?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepqELQfEg7
Izuku: “Because you’re like my sister! Siblings can’t get married!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaVXL3rUlt
Kiri: “Why not?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OV8sRorMS
Izuku: “Because… because… ”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxx2RSelFQ
The more he thought on it, the more the reasons don’t work in this case. Kiri is a mental construct, so the genetic argument doesn’t work.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWdr3NhWIl
But still, he shouldn’t see her that way. If Kiri is okay, then maybe-
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JjkZu4igD
Izuku shakes his head violently, banishing those bad thoughts.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUverF8FsNN
Izuku: “Look, Kiri, we just can’t. Please, just tell everyone we’re just friends. Not girlfriend and boyfriend. Can you do that for me?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjuONqqR0P
Kiri: “… Okay.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNmkG0fG3T
He can tell she still doesn’t really get it, but this will have to do for now.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrpkE7HT0H
Izuku: “Good, now we have to get ready for school. We can’t be late.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHCVId8WuH
Kiri: “Nh.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DqnFZEw1H
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTRWBzMRU7
After running to school, because they were almost late and for exercise, the duo got breakfast and then attended their first class.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGfmJIq7Ar
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtAsf1Nlyg
Present Mic: “All right, class. Tell me where the mistake is in the English sentence. Who knows the answer? Everybody, hands up and raise them high!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhBuqw3rDi
‘So normal!’
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblZvSH1Kfi
The whole class shared the same sentiment. Some students were dozing off, like Mina, or even sleeping, like Kiri. She didn’t see much reason to learn this stuff after all.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WSuLU4oMh
The only one who seemed to be enjoying himself was Izuku. After that though, the class was allowed to gather at the grand mess hall.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMuFS8RjVr
The group was pretty big; nearly the whole class was together. Much to Izuku’s delight, he was welcomed with open arms.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1RtYiLsxa
Izuku: ‘I never expected to get this many friends, all at once.’
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoaBk7liz9
They group shared their names, the basics of their quirks, and complaints about schoolwork. You know, normal school life.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Q4P5QXSx
That did, however, leave little time to clear up the Kiri misunderstanding.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG4RCetGzB
Regardless, that normalcy was coming to an end, for a special teacher was coming in for their next class.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll4Vz7piSR
All Might: "I AM HERE…"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc2QE7zzwp
Everyone's heads perked, and wide grins split their faces at the welcomed surprise.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTL97SUUPj
All Might: "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21slwjM9dw
"We have All Might as a teacher?!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk6CZJ6IE7
The class erupted in excitement as All Might walked in, resplendent in his Silver Age costume.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiQOJvxOaH
Mina: "Whoa, his style is so different! I swear I'm hearing a theme song right now!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPTKf1Dt7K
Jiro: "You're not the only one."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC4BR67Jcg
All Might proceeded to chew the scenery right up as he heroically made his way to the podium and put his fists on his hips.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoZgvg3yRs
All Might: "I will be teaching Fundamental Heroics! In this subject, we will be putting all of you through your paces so that you can learn the basics of being a Hero. We'll be here quite often. This class and its subsequent advanced versions will have the most units per semester."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlweYyGmOF
He seemed to flex, and somehow managed to make a card appear in his hand.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y07FWpUGG
All Might: "So let's get right into it! Your first class shall be… Combat Training!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynjq5GmVMk
The card had the word 'Battle' written on it.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kArdw9PFS
Bakugo: "Combat?!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSE5r8lmFl
He was grinning broadly, beyond excited. With this, he could prove once and for all who’s on top.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEVzaTsSc3
All Might: "And for that you need these!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcWoorkOdM
All Might clicked a button and several panels popped out of the wall to the far side of the room. Each of them had five containers labeled from 1 to 15.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9MjbPrPiG
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwmofQEN5P
All Might: "In accordance with the Quirk Registry as well as your own written requests... here are your-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5umKiPa6Ca
"COSTUMES!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBLzCxkx7W
Nearly the whole class shouted in glee. They couldn't wait to see how all of them had turned out.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYxJ2QR6SF
All Might: "That's right! After you change, meet me at Ground Beta!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUBiGSW2TT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RlFOqn8Im
All Might stood alone now, fists again on his hips as he waited for his students to start coming through the tunnel into Ground Beta. His grin widened as he started picking up on faint footsteps before the first of them broke into the light.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjm8rXe7np
All Might: "They say the costume makes the hero, young ladies and gentlemen."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzFAxbx5oZ
He eyed each of them and liked what he saw with most of the costumes.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHimgQzWr5m
All Might: "Be proud. From this moment on, you are HEROES!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jEM7GOCDJ
Behind the rest of the class, Izuku and Kiri were the last ones walking out of the tunnel. He had gotten a little lost in a memory when he and Kiri first put on their costume.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QSCaHN1D5
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Cmb1rBc8
It was the night before his first day at UA, and the family had just finished dinner. After cleaning up, Inko pulled him and Kiri aside with a brilliant smile on her face.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPATPAfjqEE
Inko: “Me and Fubuki have a surprise for you! Right, Fubuki?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB6FsnZAVb
Fubuki was pretty silent throughout dinner, but hearing her name finally brought her back to reality.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvATtYNlXqe
Fubuki: “O-Oh, yes! I almost forgot, stay here, Izu!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqyS6RViqR
Fubuki nearly ran out the door.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYILP14N6ZR
Izuku: “What is it?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmHK93gjEl
Tatsumaki: “Something we made for when you were accepted into UA.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOAb3XBzCj
Inko: “Fubuki was the one who came up with the idea and even paid for it. Tatsu and I helped design it. But we did take a peek into your hero journals for inspirations.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnLWlsYUL8
Before Izuku could wonder what they made, Fubuki came back with two large metal suitcases. She floated them in with her quirk and laid them on the couch.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTttGVLQsy
Fubuki: “I really hope you too like it. I spared no expense.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1FkhCa9Y4
Izuku and Kiri got on their knees and opened the suitcases. Their eyes widen at the gift.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYt4Kq4CI5
Tatsumaki: “You’re heroes now; you have to look the part.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlChz3EFlQK
Izuku beamed a brilliant grin, which brought joy to those that saw it.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡems6r9M8ga
Izuku: “Thank you, for everything!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UnLVraAca
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4dfEyNmUN
Uraraka: "Woah! You two look amazing!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55AYdjzCQj
The gleeful cry from Ochaco drew all of their attention, and several more exclamations rang out.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8l9kEYQZt
Mina: "Wow, matching outfits!? So cute!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71qMi1mzao
Mina's voice rang out as she started excitedly running around them, checking out every angle.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnxmN1owHX
Momo: "Quite cool. I like it a lot."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9his6ap0Ew
Momo smiled at him specifically, getting another luminescent blush from the shy boy.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78YM2hlLEj
Izuku: “T-Thank you.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XgnUzFxoV
Denki: "Jeez, looking at him makes my costume look like a crappy cosplay. I'm a bit intimidated."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrp7p5j0u5
Kaminari complained in good humor. He was wearing clothes that wouldn't have looked out of place at a rock concert. They looked like regular clothes.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShHpeDnh4L
Bakugo: “Tch.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG3MMdWmMi
Izuku's full costume looked to be in a similar style to the one All Might was wearing. It was a full bodysuit and had a green cape, but that was where the similarities ended.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw0wJqunwQ
Rather than spandex, it was a combat bodysuit similar to those really old space-themed video games from the previous century like Crysis or Mass Effect.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xdsYVAUzP
It was primarily black, but there were some green accents woven in through the suit. The gloves and boots were bright green, as was the cape and the shoulders, running down to his arms. A bright green bird of prey was emblazoned on his chest.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3ZxljgKbQ
Finally, an emerald sash rested on his hips for his Psi blade.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq04fNLfzuM
As for Kiri, her outfit was much the same, except her primary color was white with light green accents. She had no cape but instead had a gladiator helmet with silver wings. A helmet worthy of a Valkyrie.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0zG4pIGyw
Together, they contrast but somehow still complement each other well.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3076UylSB
Mina: “Aw, I’m so jealous. I wish I had a boyfriend I could have matching costumes with.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa3r7zMRYu
Kiri: “Nh.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpA5YPUB9u
Izuku: “But-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLytUzs7lt
All Might: "Alright, my young heroes, it is time to get started."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJJaK5C7IA
All Might interrupted the socializing since he couldn't stay in his hero form for too long.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWF68eHU7s
Ida: "Sensei, this is the same site we used for our entrance exams. Will we be doing cityscape maneuvers again?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy3dXVGMHr
All Might: "Close! What we’ll be doing will involve indoor combat scenarios and outdoor survival."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk66U6Ljw62
All Might: “You must be able to adapt to both scenarios as they come up. To that end, we have come up with a new combat exercise that suits the number of students.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP1g0Kw6Fn
Tsuyu: "So no basic training?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnh2FgybgF
All Might: "Practical experience will teach you that! The distinction here is that you won't be fighting disposable robots but each other!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzmloeQqD4
Some were surprised by the news while others were thrilled. Izuku could feel the burning glare aimed at him. He dared to send one back at his longtime bully and former friend.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkWLI9FES0
They stared at each other as the fire of their past itches to ignite into a frenzy. But All Might cuts in first.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUjYF7lt2O
All Might: “My Young Heroes, prepare for the 5v5v5 Combat and Survival Trial! Pick a card out of here to determine your teams.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrynHcUETP
One by one, everyone picked a card from the black box All Might had. In the end, everyone had either a green, red, or white card. Before the questions could bombard him, All Might explained.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36WaYzx779
All Might: “Reds will be the Villains, Greens the Heroes and Whites the Civilians.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiVcWPeudQ
All Might: “Villains need to capture all Civilians while protecting their bomb at base camp.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacNGsLRiiW
All Might: “Heroes need to save all Civilians and bring them back to base camp while capturing the enemy bomb. You can ignore the Villains and focus on those objectives, but that will lose you points. The Villains will still be at large in this case.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJbfdEbL32
Momo: “That means in order to get high marks-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zMQ6gFB91
Uraraka: “We have to save the Civilians, bring them back to base safe, capture the bombs and beat the Villains!?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0ZbC2CqZV
All Might: “Yes, hero work is rarely easy, and the odds are often stacked against you. This is a lesson you must learn early.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXWXgWVJIx
That’s putting it lightly. The Villain team is… stacked.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ghVEMoAwC
Villains: Bakugo, Ida, Shoto, Mina, and… Kiri.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRdFdPX20u
Izuku looked at his little sister, and she at him.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr3GeoaRgC
Hero: Izuku, Uraraka, Sero, Kirishima, and Momo.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKmnIkTs93
Kiri: “Onii… ”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkj8nyi3c4
Izuku: “It’s alright, Kiri. It’s just training.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudVNkScv3t
Kiri: “But I don’t… want to fight you.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKsZkyU2Dv
Izuku: “You have to.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RrII7UKki
Kiri: “But-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqdhEZoWfQ
Izuku: “Don’t go easy on Kiri. Think of it like how Fubuki fought me. This will help us become even better heroes.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3UAKiNkhD
Kiri: “Are you… sure?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPjQke5XSq
Izuku: “Yes! Even if we’re on opposite sides now, we’ll still be together, improving as heroes.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2wy8f7SNk
Kiri: “… Nh.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUK6slirDT
Kiri nods, and her worry dissipates. But Izuku can still feel she’ll try to avoid him. It’s probably for the best, because he knows who he’ll face during this.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlb1ahLEax
If Bakugo’s maddening grin was anything to go by.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HSDe83NNx
Jiro: “Okay, that’s all good and all. But what should the Civilians be doing?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQDvO2DyB5
Civilians: Jiro, Shoji, Denki, Tokoyami, and Tsuyu
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOwjeX8iRG
All Might: “Survival is a skill every hero must know. Your task is to evade the Villains as long as possible until the Heroes arrive.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshmeU9FOh8
Denki looks to Ida and Kiri before sighing.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRNuZkpI2R
Denki: “We’re doomed.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgKuctnLlA
All Might: “Go to your assigned areas in the city my young heroes! When you see the flare, the trial will begin!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs25sASMs1E
Izuku takes a deep breath before taking a step towards his first major battle.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN98qTN7JX
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHazw75gqo
I want to say thank you for reading, following, and reviewing this story. It motivated me to use my holiday time to bring you another batch of chapters. Sad about my other story, it seems to be falling into obscurity.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzaTsEzmLy
I’ll focus on this since it’s what the people want.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86JVf9Ojqn
Now, I want to say that I don’t plan to have Kiri x Izuku happen. I’m tempted, but I don’t think Izuku would go for it. Still, I think I played with the idea too much. Even I’m starting to get annoyed by the misunderstanding.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuKnjqti8o
I will break the it after this battle so the real ship can begin. As for Kiri’s feelings on the matter, we’ll see.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0HWPcaQi9
On another note, after doing more detailed outlines for later arcs, I’m starting to regret including the Phoenix. The more I write and plan, the more I want to focus on the ground level of the hero society.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpMBEBLGZU
Much of it will expand and explore the themes that the original story covered. But that means the Phoenix has been bent to fit that, which is difficult. Primordial Vortex, you had the right idea not involving the actual Cosmic Entity.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA2MUlUegv
But that’s life; I’ll figure it out and give you a story that can stand proudly next to the original. That’s if life doesn’t decide to bend me over a counter again.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnBj26y07y
Until next time.
