Fubuki: “Another quiet patrol.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMAGoU9s4H
The Blizzard group once again scoured the city for any villain or quirk beast activity but came up empty. Didn’t mean they didn’t do anything. The Blizzard group did general community work that made the city around the agency prosper.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGHz67S5Yb
But that only made most of the group exhausted. Not tired enough to stop complaining about it, though.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgitX83idF
Lily: “Boss Fubuki, perhaps we should stop for now?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1gLXtQi6q
Mountain Ape: “At least for some food.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sUZUxQONz
Fubuki: “30 more minutes.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ijgRZtiHo
She says while walking with her eyes closed, focusing on her psychic senses instead of sight. An easy way to train.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfYp9NL978
Eyelashes: “What about your brother and Emory?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLELbQCvSD
Fubuki: “Trust me, the more time Izu has, the more inventive his analysis.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk9spY1j6o
Lily: “But-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjRR14ao4N
Fubuki opens her eyes and turns towards her group with a contained glare.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGSolswBvm
Fubuki: “This is the only way to get stronger and improve as a group. Clearly, what we were doing before wasn’t enough. We must be prepared for the worst.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZWJVH0lIL
Eyelashes: “Boss Fubuki, are we really getting better this way?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3pgZjqnQq
She turns and focuses her attention on Eyelashes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkgxSa49fV
Fubuki: “Yes, it increases your stamina and gives me time to improve my own quirk. Our constant patrols make a constant presence in the area and deter villains.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM4jaW6nCI
Eyelashes: “I’m afraid at this rate, we might be too weak to fight when the-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnUCivCnEf
Fubuki: “Eyelashes.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jWHGeVDeQ
Eyelashes: “Y-Yes?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9YOtrAVQe
Fubuki: “I understand your concern, but is it so bad that you would go behind my back and talk to my mother?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJkcpKheFm
The others in the group looked at Eyelashes with surprise, and some even started discussing among themselves. It looks like it was his own idea.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1qaBVb8lT
Eyelashes looks down, and sweat gathers on his forehead.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI7GB5IBXK
Eyelashes: “Forgive me, Boss Fubuki. I just wanted to-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURIpNvFkXO
Fubuki: “Stifle the growth of the group?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFiURKZd4G
Eyelashes: “N-No! I… ”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ylRRB6AbN
As the group shuffles in place awkwardly, unable to meet her gaze, she sighs.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfo4VQdaC4
Fubuki: “Why are you all are so… ”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9anwnYNnd
She caught herself before saying something she’d regret for the rest of her days. Pinching her nose and closing her eyes, she releases the stress in a breath.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVyk2mxo8S
Fubuki: “Fine, let’s go back.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGZJ3gcHUF
Their mood lifts as hers sours with worry for the future, the next crisis.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVsrwKiCst
Regardless, she still has an internship to oversee. So the group heads back to the agency, and Fubuki lets them rest around. Afterward, she makes her way to the room she left the kids in.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpmDC9uN6i
The sight, however, was more than what she could have expected.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEme0Wa6sQS
Fubuki: “What did you do?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8swR2ywvPf
The whole room was like an indoor jungle, lush and thick with foliage.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtxupSEQKJ
Fubuki: “Izu, Emory!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyo6R33SmN
The bushes shake for a moment before a wild Izu appears. His face was dirty, but it didn’t ruin his bright smile.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2P82jO4OS
Izuku: “Fubu, I’m glad you’re back! Emory’s quirk is incredible! I managed to keep the report short but was too excited to edit.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWKB0Croze
Just like that, her stress and worry vanished. The woman smiled and gently rubbed the dirt off Izuku’s face.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYoRRtRCx7
Fubuki: “I understand; you can edit later. Where is Emory?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav1DFGod4y
Izuku: “She’s sleeping somewhere in here. I created a flower bed for her to sleep on with the plants she grew. I may have… overtaxed her.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzt4EFogAg
Fubuki: “Hehehe, I expected as much. Can I see the report?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFxVlffZ2k
Izuku: “Of course!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OeXCuhwPG
The boy entered the forest and eventually came back out with a stack of 9 pages filled with observations and ideas. Fubuki received the paper stack and gave it a quick glance.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSU0rSsprz
Fubuki: ‘Yeah, it needs an edit.’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvemkH1T8S
Fubuki: “Thank you, Izu.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgBEUsWTZV
As she says that, Fubuki decides to show off and test her control. Without moving a finger, she manipulates the thicker plants and wood to create a fancy chair.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg1d1gDwF5
Izuku: “Whoa, your control has really improved. It took a minute or two to make the flower bed.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bboxilSOz
Fubuki: “I’ve been training. Did Emory grow any fruits?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iqiT29WXP
Izuku: “Yes!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EKnQUxKn8
Sensing his sister’s desire, Izuku moves some apples to his hand. Testing himself, he carefully peeled the apple into several slices with telekinesis. It was harder than he thought, but he managed. Now using their quirk, the two guided the slices they wanted into their mouths.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYsNUBdmW3
Izuku: “Delicious.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERBru9R51S
Fubuki: “Indeed.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2nE1JMjPC
Making his own custom chair, Izuku sat and enjoyed the calm atmosphere. After the fourth slice of apple, Fubuki spoke up.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec2MrN3RFW
Fubuki: “This is a very-well done report, aside from the grammar. The speed and range of Emory’s quirk along with ideas of a seed gun. That is a bit… lethal though.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuUI549WWl
Izuku: “Well, she can control the rate of growth. She doesn’t have to… you know… blow up the villain.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKwryWpqnu
They both shudder at the idea of a tree bursting out of a person’s chest.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXenHTH1G8r
Izuku: “But her quirk is best suited for support. She could set up wooden defenses, trap villains, help feed people, and restore forests. Her potential as a support hero is immense!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr4a2BRg2m
Fubuki: “I’m happy to hear it. She was… thinking of dropping out of school. Good thing she didn’t.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVYWg5PU1b
Izuku: “Really? Why?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq16m4CQ3AX
Fubuki: “Izu, not everyone has a quirk like ours. Some people don’t have quirks suited for hero work or… any work, really. But thanks to you, Emory now knows her quirk can be useful. Thank you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpXBDC3I6t
Izuku: “I-It’s was nothing. I’m happy to help.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC2fXJUT9j
Fubuki: “I understand. But speaking of quirks, I heard you can heal now.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1vU4E6SeM
She says while taking another apple slice.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakhgL7iihK
Izuku: “Huh? Where-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wHSP8KrrB
Fubuki: “Recovery Girl couldn’t stay quiet for long.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W3L56TfNI
Izuku: “Oh.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBx04lvwGn
Fubuki: “And then there’s the abilities you showed during the tournament. Transmutation? Your quirk really is strange.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbGO1xqt0s
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Fubuki, there won’t be any more surprises from me.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt8FdD5q3p
Before Fubuki could question the sudden chill in the air, the door swung open to reveal Tatsumaki and Kaoru flying in.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwgxCKv2EV
Kaoru: “Whoa, what happened in here?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrtFsf9Ybl
Fubuki: “Tatsu, weren’t you supposed to be on patrol?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH8fIwVTCI
Tatsumaki: “Akashi learned all she can about patrolling in the skies. Besides, I have a much better training idea.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQtCrhmbjs
Fubuki: “Oh?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNgLILBD1d
Tatsumaki: “I suggest a match between Akashi and Izuku.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YB0607WAZ
Kaoru’s eyes widen before turning to Izuku with a smile.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk966MoKL4
Fubuki: “What? Wait a minute-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqShG4XJIeB
Kaoru: “That’s perfect! I was a bit bummed that I couldn’t fight him in the tournament.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwybZZwquZ7
Tatsumaki: “You can even make it harder on Izu by sending out small mental attacks. That way he can train his mental abilities at the same time.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyZ4yc3ENz
She says while moving one of the floating apple slices into her mouth.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdEhsTpcgj
Izuku: “Aw, man.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplBO9y4TNG
Kaoru: “Hey, I don’t need a handicap!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFtJQDa8Ze
Tatsumaki: “You’re facing my brother, of course you do.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueDjqzHhJb
Kaoru: “Hmph, I’ll show you. I’ll end this within five minutes.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qrLmMmtl8
Sighing, Fubuki accepts the fact her older sister has gained control over the situation.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzbaXcpceP
Fubuki: ‘Not like it’s a bad idea. Still… would Tatsu have said the same thing if I was facing Akashi?’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI64WRBVHLo
Fubuki: “Fine, we can use the roof. Get your hero outfits and meet us there.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkWNfuWDOI
Kaoru & Izuku: “Right!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhXWqhzRvJ
The two students leave the room, and Tatsumaki follows suit. Fubuki sighs again before opening up the jungle to reveal a sleeping Alice Emory.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWpom6MIjY
Fubuki creates a blanket made of leaves and places it on Alice, which earns her a smile from the sleeping beauty.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ796wXTcmzp
Fubuki: “I guess you can rest for now. But you’ll have to work harder tomorrow.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMcncaGFYD
With that, Fubuki leaves for the battle above.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2TNjCMplQ
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzLQn8t4Mq
He wasn’t kidding; it went on for an hour. By the halfway mark, Kiri managed to get used to it. In 45 minutes, Tokoyami reached a satisfactory level.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMXyeGLPPM
That left only Momo, who was standing against the wall with an outline of shurikens around her. She has gotten better, but that small shake of worry remained.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2RRLiXfzX
Edgeshot: “You’re getting better. I even had to increase the speed of my throw to get you to flinch near the end. But we should change things up. I think the other two have rested enough.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCirLP2rcET
Momo: “A-Alright.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblQs6WfaoD
She eased herself off the wall, careful not to catch her clothes on the blades. Momo, along with the other students, stood near the center, waiting for the next task.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekEBHH4I3Q
Edgeshot: “First, change into your hero costumes. I have rooms prepared for you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyC4bLz1DQ
He led the students to two changing rooms. After a few minutes, they returned to the dojo fully equipped.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKcvXbOcHl
Edgeshot: “I will go out on patrol soon with Tokoyami, but before that I need to teach you two some grappling moves. First, Tae.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBG8Xh5UIY
What followed was a brutal and uncomfortable showing of Edgeshot’s prowess as a fighter. Sure, Kiri wasn’t fighting back, but still…
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYC9IyHEAo
In the end, she was on the floor, tired but enlightened.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF2SwrUFIT
Edgeshot: “Those are the basics of Judo and a few techniques that can knock an opponent out. We will go over them in more depth next time, but do you think you can mimic some of what I showed you?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ566OeoRbKF
Kiri: “Y-Yes.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg2f6Xrray
Edgeshot: “Good. Considering your quirk, if you get the hold off, the opponent won’t be able to escape. But it depends on if you can touch the opponent. That’s where you come in.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCSp39mj5R
He turns to a still stunned Momo. It took a moment to register what he’s suggesting, and it only stunned her further.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCoji9S0sC
Momo: “Huh?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEG820PSZu
Edgeshot: “While we’re gone, you two will have a mock battle. But there are rules. Yaoyorozu, your goal is to evade capture until we come back or you capture Tae yourself. Be quick of mind and use any non-lethal method at your disposal.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2AB3auH8r
Not giving any time for questions, he then turns to Kiri, who finally got up.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJMOoRPhF5
Edgeshot: “Tae, you may only try to grapple Yaoyorozu in the battle. Use what you learned to win. Do you two understand?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhc2yKHKxQ
The two girls look at each other; they both know there is more to this than just training.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt2DrMG2H7
Momo & Kiri: “Yes.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw5iAgbMpR
Edgeshot: “Good. Now, Tokoyami, make sure your quirk is always active while patrolling. Increase its tolerance.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdMJv6Fc1n
Tokoyami: “Very well. Dark Shadow.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoU6TOvBhC
The living shadow emerges from his body, already looking gloomy over the task.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk9xOruX0w
Dark Shadow: “I know it’s training, but this sucks.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMMExlmvDW
Kiri: “Good luck. You can do it.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWXXn6pec6
She offers a thumbs-up to her fellow mental construct, something that instantly brightens Dark Shadow’s mood.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH62TLoWRvn
Dark Shadow: “Haha, thanks! I’ll do my best.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yczehTHtu
Tokoyami: “Come, Dark Shadow.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZePkpFLVgq
Dark Shadow: “Right, partner.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94IgZXj1Qz
Kiri watches them go, leaving the room in an awkward silence. The two girls, competing over the same boy, distance themselves and prepare for battle. Momo creates a bo staff, and Kiri lowers her stance.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3SdCQzXmF
But before they can come to blows, something must be said.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y2sgkDumy
Momo: “Tae…”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j0TyAnNjV
Kiri: “… Yes?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPAaOXLl5J
Momo: “You know… I won’t give up on Midoriya.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsRaOccglp
Kiri: “… I know. But… are you strong enough to stand by him?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAK76S3vRi
Momo: “I will be. But more importantly, I can actually love him. Can you?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc5cltmveU
Kiri narrows her eyes. She’s aware of this dilemma already, but she doesn’t want to hear it from Udders of all people. So the time for talk was over; she rushed her rival.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmnBswJ9zw
Thanks to the shurkian training, Momo wasn’t taken off guard completely by the speed. So she counters with a thrust, which Kiri easily dodges… right into a stun grenade.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk1pE41yqc
Within the moments that Kiri was stunned, Momo created a glue gun and fired it. Not knowing what she had in store but wise enough to avoid it, Kiri jumped into the air and stuck to the ceiling.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTlgfhgSiZ
But the blasts of glue didn’t stop, so Kiri let go right in time to avoid the follow-up. When her vision returned, she dashed forward again at a low angle.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyi8SG4982
Didn’t matter, Momo had prepared a special shield in time to intercept. Undeterred, Kiri grabbed it, aiming to rip it out of Momo’s arms.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOfvFMsC8W
But with a click of a button, a jet of glue erupted from holes within the shield. It wasn’t enough to engulf Kiri, but it’s enough to slow her down.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUTFRqfk1N
Or it would be if Kiri didn’t expel the glue using her telekinesis. A bit taken off guard with her tactic being rejected, Momo was unable to prevent Kiri from ripping the shield from her hand.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXYd4on5mF
Being dragged forward by the momentum, Kiri was in range to end this. Grabbing her arm, Kiri jumped and then used her legs to bring Momo to the ground by wrapping them around her head.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf4Ab6dAyH
Wasn’t a perfect grapple, but good enough. Momo’s arm was caught, and her neck was being squeezed by Kiri’s legs.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4ePptSoxM
Kiri: “Submit.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sxKfWQrEa
Momo’s eyes said everything they needed.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2upJAAwHF
Never.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBRUuXBOm3
That being said, though, how is she going to escape? Her first instinct is to overthink, to question what she should create to escape.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmYxvdRnbz
But that training wasn’t for nothing. She closed her eyes and focused on the present. She can’t escape Kiri’s hold, not without overpowering her telekinesis. So why not lean into it?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ730KkDovP3
Momo: ‘You don’t want to let go? Fine!’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkUjaTgwsY
Reaching for One For All, she surges strength into her captured arm, lighting up the room with pink lightning.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8ueWsiQZT
Kiri: “You-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04XHtG5c2o
Slowly but surely, Momo was picking up Kiri. Despite the girl’s strength, she doesn’t really weigh that much.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11M7G1VIXq
In the end, despite the legs around her head, Momo was able to stand and carry Kiri. In response, Kiri tightens the grip around Momo’s neck.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyKpCAFSpT
Momo: “Ngh.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuiLG5co4e
Black spots were appearing in her vision; she couldn’t hold on for long. So she used her free hand and One For All to create several sharp caltrops on the ground. Not enough to maim, but enough to hurt. Momo holds Kiri over the trap.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEDEwkpHe3
Momo: “Let… go… or I’m… slamming you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1zRUeOlOW
Kiri’s eyes want to say “never” as well, but there is some hesitation. So instead, Kiri takes a detour from her goal. She removes her legs and plants her feet on the ground, tiptoeing on the trapless part of floor, without releasing the arm.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHVZGzM8OU
Next, she flips Momo over her shoulder, forcing her to taste her own trap.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5iGE6Mp8I
Momo: “Gah!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAYFYI9F2K
Ghost girl wasn’t done; she placed her foot on Momo’s chest, right below her mounds.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4QUb73veD
Kiri: “Submit.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFETmqrhBl
Momo: ‘I can’t get leverage in this position, and my back is killing me! But I can’t let it end here! Think, think, think!’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vVuDlELmP
Kiri: “You’re right, I’m not sure yet if I’m physically capable of real love for Izu. But what I do know is that he doesn’t really love you either.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzcvwqbxLe
Momo: “What!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg6ypMNMGK
Kiri: “If he chose you, I can only think of one reason, Udders.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd2AawYSxY
Momo’s face turns scarlet as she covers her chest with her free hand.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyys8UkMV99
Momo: “W-Well, at least I have something to show off.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cpPgpCEIW
Kiri: “I-I could change my s-shape you know. If I wanted. But Izu loves me as I am.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfLnHr4pZf
Momo: “Does he? Or is he confusing his feelings for something else?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYCnq910rU
Kiri: “He does! He kissed me back!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojfuUlWX2U
Momo didn’t register the tightened grip; she was too busy being stunned by the fact they already made out. Unlike her kiss, he seemed to have kissed Kiri back.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac8bzfbxYI
Momo: ‘But why?’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMwlrZKSWB
Kiri: “Udders, you’re second choice. If my love is genuine, then Izu will choose me.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq8E2IJXDv
Refocusing on the present, Momo resolves herself.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyR04VlinV
Momo: “And if not, he’ll be with me. A human, like him.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbCMkfPaaq
Acting quickly, she creates a gun in the hand close to Kiri’s face and fires.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRSA2CnpNA
Apparently, Kiri wasn’t fully immune to flinches, since she released one hand to cover her face. But instead of a bullet, she was hit with a wave of water.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuQnqzdrxp
Kiri: “Huh?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z2w7ocm6A
Her momentary confusion was all Momo needed to edit the water gun into a taser gun. Firing again, the electrified cords struck Kiri and lit her up like a Christmas tree, made even worse with the water.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKXzKox67e
But Momo wasn’t free from it; she was still connected to Kiri. Yet, she didn’t scream like Kiri did.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdxTJYRVpn
Kiri: “A-A-Again…!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfll2gWvKyb
Seems like Sabrina’s attack left a lasting effect, enough to force Kiri to let go of Momo. Seeing her chance, she gathered the rest of her strength to get up and delivered a heavy punch to Kiri’s face, sending her flying back.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpQarKrvwq
Momo made sure to collapse on a section of the floor that wasn’t littered with caltrops. As for Kiri, she also collapsed, but she wasn’t unconscious.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7ZEqbW5bw
The rivals in love took a moment to breathe, a temporary ceasefire. When it was over, the two got back up to finish things.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx2H96Ui13
Kiri: “I… was going to let you get closer to Izu, just in case. But I… changed my mind.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2EYS1fSCd
Momo: “That’s not… your choice to make. I’m… going to kiss him next time… and I’m sure he’ll kiss me back.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2PCE39wfs
Growling, Kiri threw all sense of technique and charged. Momo wasn’t much better; she charged forward as well.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMstbLIh9B
What followed wasn’t a fight, just a collective outburst of teenage frustrations. Hair pulling, clothes tearing, slapping, and, of course, taunts.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKoxjtZtnU
Kiri: “I don’t see what Izu sees in these; they’re just bags of meat!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeLx7N1iZ4
Momo: “M-Maybe because he’s a functioning boy and k-k-knows what they can be u-used for. Not like you would know that! Do you even know what s-s-sex is?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QtcteJGEY
Kiri: “No, but I already know I want to do it with Izuku! And I bet he’ll do it with me before you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqYQn5re22
Momo: “Y-You-You-You idiot!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7h5AUgZKu
Kiri: “No, you’re an idiot!”

Normally, these two wouldn’t sink so low. But emotions are running high, and love can make one blind. For example, they may not notice when the door opens.

Good thing Dark Shadow was there to quickly cover the eyes of the males present.

Dark Shadow: “What are you two doing!?”

Hearing a voice that wasn’t their own, the two girls looked up and saw that the boys were back. Quickly cooling off, they finally noticed their clothes. Or lack thereof.

Kiri: “… Ah.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O2YFr1oJy
Momo: “N-N-NOOOOO!!”

An embarrassing redress later, the two were kneeling before Edgeshot and Tokoyami.

Momo & Kiri: “We’re sorry.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcvnydr0Pt
Edgeshot: “I don’t know what problem you two have, but you will manage it properly during this internship. Am I understood?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7OB36J8Nh
Momo & Kiri: “Yes!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVCUVtTfS0
Edgeshot: “Good. Since you two clearly need to cool off, we’ll continue this tomorrow. Yaoyorozu and Tokoyami, you can go back home.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qKHEwNg8C
Momo gives one last look at Kiri before getting up and leaving through the elevator with Tokoyami.

As for Kiri, she kept her head down in shame. She usually doesn’t let her emotion cloud her actions so much, but when it comes to Izuku…

Kiri: ‘I shouldn’t have done that. If… he does pick Yaoyorozu… then it would be better to be friends with her, not enemies. Otherwise, Izu wouldn’t be happy.’

Edgeshot: “I have to say, I expected more from you. But I suppose it makes sense, considering what you did during the tournament.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2x93UZvXr
The girl lifts her head and looks at Edgeshot, who seems strangely on guard.

Kiri: “What do you mean?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam0W6TMwMO
Edgeshot: “The quirk beast massacre. You didn’t hide your getaway fast enough.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mpX6IHSis
Her eyes widened as the implication became clear.

Edgeshot: “Yes, I know who you are, Valkyrie.”
