Izuku wanted this day to be normal, but life had other plans.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwonGYIfENi
First, she may deny it, but he can tell that Kiri is frustrated with the current situation. She still clings to him during the night but keeps her distance during school.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeETSPriTLi
Why?
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yN4n27BCN
The still awkward tension between him and Momo. It’s so bad that Izuku had to be told multiple times to pay attention.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9JaTw2hf2
The boy is tempted to just use telepathy, but that would only make things worse. So he suffered through class, said his goodbyes to an avoidant Kiri, and went to All Might with Momo.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqrb0496S4
No words were spoken, which seemed like the nail in the coffin of this-
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORyyINgR7H
Momo: “Midoriya.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAmfsAqVu5
Izuku: “Y-Y-Yes!?”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3CMcEueRD
Momo: “You… can relax. I’ve thought about what you told me yesterday.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHD58hCxUw
Yep, here it comes. His first rejection. Well, at least he still has-
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45YUfaMNiO
Momo: “I don’t want to give you up.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaqLkaledk
Izuku: “… What?”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOsjTz5DjZ
Momo: “I find the whole situation to be… strange to say the least. But if you’re still undecided, then I will try to help you come to my preferred choice.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOvhPM8mdb
Before he can fully grasp what she’s saying, Momo leans down and kisses Izuku’s cheek.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxc00COdCc
Momo: “I hope Tae understands.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dyt5aey73
Face sprinkled red, Momo makes her escape while Izuku’s brain reboots.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslwzoDTmsO
Izuku: ‘How did I end up having two girls fighting for me?’
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDx8PiHMH0
The better question is what he should do about it. A question for another time, perhaps; right now they need to get Momo used to One For All.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD1p7EFAtT
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUFTr0yeZp
Recovery Girl: "You blockhead."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvopOLmXbYn
Recovery Girl groaned when she was told what had happened yesterday. All Might, Izuku, and Momo were in her officer; apparently she will be the one checking Momo’s current physical state.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWuKLUgsMI
Recovery Girl: "Why didn't you tell me about this yesterday?"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC40UagQF76
All Might: "I’m sorry, it slipped my mind. Besides, you couldn’t have checked it until today anyway."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPx1fDPOQY
Recovery Girl: "Hmph. Luckily, I sense nothing wrong, Yaoyorozu-chan. I think she’s ready for the real tests.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyPTC32sWD
The group headed towards Ground Beta, the site of the Battle Trails. Izuku couldn’t help but feel… nostalgic. It hasn’t been that long since the trails, but everything was so much more… simple back then.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYDiOVdq4L
Shaking away the reverie, he refocused on the current situation. He and Momo were standing in the middle of the street, with All Might, Principal Nezu, and Recovery Girl nearby.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLmv1qseNe
Momo: "Besides Midoriya’s family, is this everyone who knows of One For All?"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntNJqqtfvI
All Might: "There are a few others that you need to know about. One of my personal friends on the police force knows. His name is Naomasa Tsukauchi. The other two were my only two sidekicks: David Shield and Sir Nighteye."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPTaaxIhD9
Momo: "I see. Judging from how you said that, I'm assuming there's at least one other I don't need to know about."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPt4V8ZDsz
Nezu: "Rest assured, we are doing everything in our power to make sure that never becomes relevant."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQArOuLksqi
But Momo had heard enough. Her mind whirred as she pieced it together.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r0IGy8ldp
Momo: "The villain who injured you."
All Might: "I forgot your brilliance was one of the reasons I chose you. Yes. My arch nemesis, you could say. I’m… sure he died in the battle, but you can never be too sure… "
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD2MEHzSVp
Momo looked at Izuku, and he shook his head.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmbqUxXH7q
Momo: "I'll be honest. I don't appreciate being given One For All without all of the facts."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGLvqpreB0
Izuku: "Me either… "
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1eO7rzuJA
All Might: "I'm sorry. But if he IS still alive, I will ensure neither of you has to face him. THAT’S MY fight."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPIhKVFzkk
He had such an uncharacteristic look on his face that Momo and Izuku merely nodded.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpJZ8Pbv4v
Nezu: "Now, we luckily have access to this giant playground for you to test your new quirk. We will be helping you train with One For All as well as Creation here."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6k4NrH6eQ
Recovery Girl: "I am here for any complications. This blockhead has told you that there will be some blowback, yes?"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaVQugyVbr
Momo nodded resolutely, trying to put the heavy subject behind her.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSMl667xwP
Momo: "Yes, though he didn't give any specifics."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VmJymXBd4
All Might: "As you know, my blows at full force are capable of causing cyclones and even changing the weather. I can also move faster than most vehicles ever created. Despite your impressive physical stats, a brick wall you are not."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6RoPtsYzi
He buffed up to emphasize the point, which got Izuku and Momo to laugh and drew smiles from the other two educators. Afterward, he deflated.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxSkBQW3GF
All Might: "As such, I still expect to see at least some internal bruising and micro-fractures, and perhaps some torn muscle fibers here and there. We will work to get you to a level that you're capable of using it safely, and then you can build up to 100% from there."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIRQmMwE84
Momo nodded resolutely and started walking deeper into the city. The other four stayed back, mostly so that they wouldn't be anywhere near her when she used One For All for the first time.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuai57NnCX
They had no idea what her 100% would look like.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJmbAsvZKb
Momo stood in the middle of an intersection and took a deep breath as the wind blew her hair around. She exhaled and took a fairly amateurish kickboxing stance. She was a much better armed fighter than unarmed, though she wasn't entirely untaught in that field. That would be something she would likely need to put more focus on now.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70iTuelXsN
She reached down, ignoring Creation for the first time in her life and reaching for One For All instead. She allowed it to engulf her right arm and immediately realized that was silly and spread it through her entire body.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywBt8d648E
Immediately, red lightning started crackling across her body. Preparation done, Momo let out a strong right cross down the street.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyCZOJmMRE
The result was a gigantic shockwave that shattered windows and bent light posts as it surged forward. But that was the least of it; even cars were picked up and thrown down the street.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXApCcIykJi
Back where she had left the other four, there were smiles all around as they saw the result of her first attempt. And then they heard her screams of agony. Their smiles dropped off, and before any of the other three could even think, Izuku was gone in an emerald flash.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6LDRSEKOt
Izuku: "Momo!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mBKS8zs6A
Appearing next to her kneeling form, he gasped. Momo's entire arm, from shoulder to fingers, was shattered. The skin was a dull red with multiple open scars down her arm, leaking blood. The limb was spasming, and he realized her bones had to be shattered as well. It looked like a bomb had gone off under her skin.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxRDR1EGOc
And she was howling in agony, tears pouring down her face. Izuku jumped at her in a panic, the desire to help and heal her exploding in his chest.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO9ICrql1F
Like when another loved one was badly hurt, his quirk responded to his strong desire. Green flames burst from the hand that was holding her and latched onto her wounds.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5i0xlzznT
Momo’s screams petered off, replaced by a long, drawn-out moan of relief.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AiadtUtzu
All Might: "Yaoyoro…zu?"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZDqQquFUr
All Might and Recovery Girl blinked, their shout of worry trailing off as they sped into the area. They both saw how damaged her arm was whenever the flickers showed it off. But it was visibly getting better.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9by5n4ix2y
Finally noticing what was happening, Izuku focused on his flames. He dares not move or try to guide it, in fear of ruining this miracle. It was slow. MUCH slower than using it on himself, and just as stamina-draining on him… but it was working!
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYkn1BLdoI
They watched in awe as the flames healed Momo’s arm. When it was over, she was cradling her arm in dumbfounded awe.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2yw4546hW
Momo: "It… it's healed?"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilAblYALJQ
All Might: "YOU CAN HEAL?!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOwsN0YDKf
Izuku: "I CAN HEAL?!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR241oQZDdw
Yeah, and Recovery Girl looked like she was about to weep tears of joy over it.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjaJCRL3qV
Recovery Girl: "He can heal!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbU1W4pDyv
It was a that moment that Izuku felt a chill go down his spine.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWqrPbOyfe
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMmaxU8JjL
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVdYvJluZz
Toshinori had his head in his hands as Izuku and Momo finished recounting what had happened and what he had seen.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotVsbCREPR
All Might: "That is FAR above and beyond the blowback I expected. My word, your arm was all but ready to come off!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3I2j1jwVq
Recovery Girl had finished checking on Momo, and the younger girl had created a blanket for herself. If only to keep Izuku from worrying, she had a calming cup of tea in her hand, which was doing wonders for her nerves.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC6CELvZH7
Momo: "I… I don't think I've ever been so scared. It was just… so exhilarating… and then it wasn't. I was feeling the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. I couldn't create anything to help me… I couldn't even think due to how much it hurt."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9DQJq6ucA
She reached out to Izuku, who was nearby. He didn’t hesitate to take her hand.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NwYgwMoxZ
Momo: "You saved me again…"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfyA4f05PZ
There was no mistaking the adoration in her voice. Izuku went atomic red as she weaved her fingers together with his.
Toshinori almost smiled, but her words weighed heavy on him.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAWFThtt3A
All Might: "I'm sorry, Yaoyorozu-san… I truly never intended to have you hurt like that. No one would look down on you if you wished to rid yourself of it after such an ordeal. Maybe… Maybe One For All has just grown… too strong. Perhaps it should die with me."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNSosAHHnr
Momo swallowed but shook her head.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd1ibeDX9L
Momo: "If I did, my words to you would be meaningless. I can't let myself fall after my first hurdle."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMuPVkklf0
She trembled for a moment before getting up.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tGCG8b2gH
Izuku: “Are you sure?”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62M8SEDCmS
Momo: “Yes, I… want to try again. I’m not afraid, as long as you’re here.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh2a0JhuBO
With that, Momo let go of Izuku and walked a few paces away. She reached out to One For All again, but this time demanded far less power. Justa single percent, dialing it WAY back.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mDhQDxjPN
This time, her skin just started to glow with an inner light. There was no lightning this time, just some glimmering veins shining.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzvsMqVudt
She breathed out, took a few steps, and began to run. She moved a little bit faster than she was accustomed to, so she stopped for a moment and increased it by another percent.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJYus4IXt0
The shine emanating from her increased, and again, it was totally manageable. So, she doubled it to four percent. Here was where she started feeling some strain, and it was where she capped things off.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm5T17ktiw
The crimson lightning was back, crackling merrily around her. She leapt forward and felt the world blur around her. She covered a hundred meters in a flash, coming to a stop and stumbling, almost faceplanting before regaining her balance. An exhilarated, somewhat shaky giggle escaped her.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cbk1EU0ka
Toshinori and the others either gaped or smiled proudly.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlkueJnR27
All Might: "Oh my… oh MY… GOODNESS!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSJB7fhI3M
Izuku: "That was fantastic, Momo!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXpQUpHKcX
Izuku sped toward her and wrapped her up in a hug. She hugged him back happily, pressing into him tightly. And she knew exactly what she was doing as he realized what he just did, stiffening.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCEnkSTLFv
She suppressed a giggle. Maybe it wouldn’t be as hard as she thought to help Izuku make the choice.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c6VGz3FiY
Not wanting to push too hard, she pulled back.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbaaQzHv7f
Momo: "Thank you."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HDukiu226
She smiled brilliantly at him and returned it, despite the red on his cheeks.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDUhDNCiAT
Izuku: “T-The lightning was really cool too. I-I wonder if you can do a-anything with it."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDMd6JPKJR
Momo: "Any ideas?"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFA57rcMAT
Izuku: “Just a crazy one. And it would for sure confirm if my theory on Creation is right."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxi3xTwvg2
She blinked, wondering what he meant. But he didn't elaborate, merely continuing to smile at her. She let out a little pout before thinking it through. It only took a few seconds, and her eyes widened until she was gaping at him with a dropped jaw.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNitNxAfTY
Momo: "Wait, you don't think-"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjsCIc9BMH
His smile turned into a smirk. She bit her knuckle before holding her arm out. She activated One For All, and the lightning engulfed her before she also used Creation. The lightning started focusing on her hand and elongated into a long rod before the glow disappeared, revealing both her utterly flummoxed face and a perfect Bō staff held firmly in her hand.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8XV8R69F8
Izuku: "YES!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesHzpzs9Gj
Momo: "Oh my god! I didn't even feel a tiny drain on my lipids. What was your theory?!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwLN0Ev4X7
Izuku: "You remember how the classic example of mischaracterizing quirks is hydrokinesis? The one we read about. How some people have quirks that allow them to draw moisture from the air rather than producing it from their bodies?"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMLeYorVsl
Momo: "Of course! It wasn’t surprising. We don't have machines to tell us what our quirks are. We can only go by our experiences with them."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUFgxqkQFL
Izuku: "Right! Since you lost weight, it was natural to assume it worked via direct conversion of lipids to whatever you needed. But that's just the thing; you weren't turning lipids into matter at all! You never were!”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwLxj1DuG7
Izuku started pacing, excited to be proved right.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwIDVCZIXK
Izuku: “I think, and I feel like you just proved, that the lipids were just the fuel in some sort of high-energy reaction that gave off extreme amounts of power! Like how fusing two hydrogen gets you one helium atom and a lot of excess energy! You then use that energy to reconstitute matter! Like a mini big bang every time you use your quirk!”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXAJlnfoYb
Momo: “No way…”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuupeMqnTp
Izuku: “That was why you could make something like a cannon when you don't weigh anywhere near that much! And we just gave you a gigantic source of energy. If only you absorbed sunlight! We could rename your quirk to 'Star Forge!'”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsawt6kvDQN
Momo: “Midoriya… ”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMKS2QGOka
This was… more than just One For All. Izuku pretty much gave her the keys to darn near unlimited growth of her quirk. The sky is the limit!
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX27THGE6G
So of course, she hugged him tightly and whispered her gratitude.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqRaSI8ak9
Momo: “Thank you, I won’t let this gift go to waste.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uf0X9aUlz
Izuku: “I know it won’t; you’ll do great.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4xCDSyeBG
Recovery Girl: “Ahem.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXsyvcbJmh
Remembering that there are other people around, the duo separate.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGvYCTH8kJ
All Might: “Excellently done, young Yaoyorozu. You already have gotten such a grasp of One For All, and it’s only been a day!”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBdosdJeqG
Momo: “Thank you. But I only can handle four percent for now. That is why I have a favor to ask, Midoriya.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWijmQ8nHJe
Izuku: “Favor?”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzitGpUtvTL
Momo: “Yes, it’s related to how you can manipulate things on the atomic level.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsrTPxzy07
All Might: “He can do that?”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN5NK9gRAY
Nezu: “Oh yes. I did wonder how you turned Todoroki’s ice into water like that. Fascinating.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdJRCUMygo
All Might: “Midoriya, your quirk is getting kind of scary.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YrCYej7Y8
A flash of intense self-hatred and anxiety later, he responded.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoMrvScyZi
Izuku: “Don’t worry, there won’t be any more surprises.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzsg6mjfHB
Recovery Girl: “What about the healing?”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou5UcqmuEq
Izuku: “… Besides that. Anyway, what about it, Yaoyorozu?”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vt5mPg7se
Momo: “Well, after our training match, you told me you used it to optimize your body. Now that we know you can heal others, maybe you can do that for me.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxiJ67Yuuw
Izuku: “I… don’t know. Just one wrong move and… ”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrIEABSx9z
Momo: “You trusted me with One for All; trusting you with this is the least I can do.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Id3tVUFj
Izuku: “… I’ll think about it.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoMw4jvJnS
Recovery Girl: “That’s all well and good, but can we return to how he can heal?”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFXQH65PQI
All Might: “You won’t let that go, will you?”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt84EiI8mMm
Recovery Girl: “Never.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvRp71QfP8
Izuku: “I don’t know how I did it; I just… really wanted to help Yaoyorozu. I guess that part of my quirk just… responded.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51QqNXVW4t
Nezu: “Fascinating, it’s almost like your quirk is alive.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CALUrwOCK
Izuku: “It’s not.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMq4yh2DWd
The principal, someone not known to show any fear, felt his hair stand on end.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI8ZfxOWoK
Momo: “I’m sure it’s something you train. If you can help me without issue, you can heal using atomic manipulation instead if the flames don’t work.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LnPAsIH3a
Izuku: “I suppose. I’ll try.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDMgvu5mnZ
Momo: “So… can you come over to my house again? Maybe tomorrow night before internships.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5owk9w344M
All Might & Recovery Girl: ‘How bold!!’
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI0QBVduV1
Izuku: “I-I-I…
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gMyrYYTgk
By all that is good, he wants to say yes. But that wouldn’t be right, not to Kiri.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdb4YhO4fK
Izuku: “I-I can’t.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOwJ0dcQ0T
Momo: “Oh… ”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv7rBNvn4G
Her face falls, and the heart cracks a little. There is only one reason why he would refuse.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlMWrSzEDi
Izuku: “It’s just… it would be-”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99CpxslVL5
Momo: “I understand. We can do it some other time.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS07ZUD2Tj
She gives him a forced smile and accepts that it won’t be that easy after all.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKzkEqc5ji
Recovery Girl: “Young love, as complicated as I remember.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHynPSCE5O
All Might: “Speaking of home, it’s time for you two to get going. We can’t keep you here too long. But be sure to continue to practice, Yaoyorozu; if you ever need pointers, you can come to us.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3J3FjTXh7
Momo: “I will. Thank you all for everything.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sNxLbtYFH
The group disperses and heads to where they need to go. Since they’re going in the same general direction, Momo and Izuku were left alone together.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFfDPrSS1Q
Wanting to fill the silence, the boy asked a question.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNyxIeJKNr
Izuku: “S-So, who are you interning with?”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNct8R3gebJ
Momo smiled before giving her answer.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n2CdaGXtA
Momo: “I was going to intern with Uwabami, but after gaining One For All, I think I’ll go for Edgeshot.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhbvyhnlk5
Izuku nearly tripped over his foot when hearing that.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKqsIxekjK
Izuku: ‘The same as Kiri… ’
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnGfYKTzGg
Izuku: “Why?”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh1eq4C8e9
Momo: “I think he can help me become a better fighter. I can’t always rely on my creations. To be honest, I’m surprised he was interested in me. So I don’t want to waste this opportunity.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa20oPPynUT
Izuku: “T-That’s a good idea. I’m sure he’ll-”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPeigfQK2i
The hairs on Izuku’s head stand on end; a familiar presence makes itself known at the school gates.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc4xTKgNcX
Izuku: “Yaoyorozu, can you go on without me? I need to talk with a friend.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7mme6oQFD
She looks between Izuku and the other student.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9hnjgXJDg
Momo: “Are you sure? Is something wrong?”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYHiT2G1zW
Izuku: “It’s alright. Just something I forgot to do.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwaUQT8YtQ
She can tell that smile was forced. But something was warning her to not interfere in this.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TJ6708LNQ
Momo: “Text me tonight so I know you’re alright.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjik8zNqkW
Izuku: “O-Of course.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfoqKKk2oF
The fact he has a girl’s number will never cease to amaze him. He almost fainted when they exchanged contacts during their training weeks.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJBDhHOB9J
With her worries lessened, Momo made her way out of the school grounds. That left Izuku and his first apostle.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcltjePQF2
Shinso: “We need to talk.”
