The morning light is the first thing our young esper wakes up to. Unfamiliar walls and supremely soft sheets assault his senses.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU8xax0dXH
Izuku: ‘Where…’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gsJCsLiDc
Then the memories return, and he nearly erupts from the bed in embarrassment. Speaking of beds…
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKGPN5flHq
Izuku: “M-Momo?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtddukwLKTn
The girl he nearly gave everything to was missing. Her warmth was still there, soft and inviting. A few hours within wouldn’t hurt. But he still has internships, and he has to explain to Fubuki where he was.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Ebrng7Et
Izuku: “Great… ”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGkr2VOagM
No use moaning over it. He reluctantly exits the bed and rediscovers the bathroom he used last night. Freshening up, he accepts the small change within.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUGtg4sbPM
Izuku: ‘Sure, I want M-Momo. A lot. But I also want Kiri. I don’t want to make either of them sad. Can it… be possible…? ’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h5kVoOyJL
As he places his hero costume back on, he takes a step forward.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblaHEak21r
Izuku: ‘It wouldn’t hurt for them to be friends at least. Yeah, that’s all.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eciFwOUSP
With that rationalization out of the way, the boy goes to the living room and eventually smells something cooking. Following the source, he is blessed with the sight of Momo making breakfast in the kitchen.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT6AdpZS7F
Her hair was down, and she was wearing casual wear that perfectly emphasized her soft figure. Sensing his presence, she turned around and gave him a smile worthy of the greatest wife award.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bZDkkaCp2
Momo: “Ah, good morning, Izuku. You came just in time. Sit down; it won’t take long.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkYgA5igpM
The boy was starstruck by the sight of a beautiful girl cooking for him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhTAwmbLFp
Izuku: “Y-You’re cooking… for me?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhoabuocJi
Momo: “Yes! It’s my first time, but I think I got the hang of it.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY8i2cFt7R
Izuku: “T-Thank you… ”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WUjFtfsNT
Dragging his body to the table, he tried to come to terms with the situation.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKJtdGFhg6
Izuku: ‘It’s almost like we’re married already…’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ044UDwexO
As Izuku thinks that, he looks around and finally notices just how quiet the house is. He’s gotten used to it, but it’s still strange. Considering he might actually be with this girl, he might as well ask a question he’s had for a while.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJKPai16di
Izuku: “Momo, where are your parents?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hood8QR6E
Momo: “Well, they believe in independence. The butler and maids only work 3 times a week, so we have a lot of time alone.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYn6Eqpty5
Izuku: “R-Right.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5vB2Q5isX
Momo: “As for where Mom and Dad are, I suppose all over. They have many business ventures that require their attention.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeptA6h286T
Izuku: “Don’t you… miss them?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb1C6kxopw
Momo: “… Sometimes. But I’ve gotten used to it. Besides…”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPBvroC6Vn
She finishes cooking and sets the steaming meal on the table.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8vuQ3KBpq
Momo: “It gives us privacy. Imagine if my parents were here yesterday.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLx489uMDf
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, that would have been… unfortunate.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q3xS2nokL
He says while taking a sip from the glass of water present with the meal.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7lsVbmdib
Momo: “It would. I’d like for them to see my future husband while he’s decent.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA4lgP6TSH
And there goes the water. After coughing, the poor boy gives Momo a bewildered look. She returns it with a head tilt and smile.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlvJfuJ3MG
Izuku: “H-Husband!?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ648zETXgXx
Momo: “Of course. That’s what happens when you’re in a relationship, right? You fall in love, date, and eventually get married.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz6YiFCr4o
Izuku: “I-I know, but… aren’t we too young to be thinking about marriage?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1O7UvNhF3
Momo: “Too young to think about marriage but old enough to have sex?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWwlh8tf5t
Izuku: “… Fair point.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy2Yo0a8Mi
She takes his hand into hers and squeezes enough to show the sincerity of her words.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd7P3n8gZE
Momo: “Izuku, this is the first relationship I’ve been in, and I want it to go right. I want to take it seriously. I hope you’re the same.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMuitESwq1
Izuku: “I am… it’s just-”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dc4hf5Oau
Momo: “I know, Tae. I get it. But I have a feeling I’m the one right about her.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBBi7OZdpB
Izuku: “W-Why do you say that?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFhpt1LQtK
Momo: “Well, Tokoyami and Tae came back to the agency really out of it. Considering the fact she’s very similar to Dark Shadow, it wasn’t hard to guess what happened. I suppose she has her answer.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgGQJtr9TT
Izuku: “I-I see…”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafNlffDOQV
Momo: “… You still believe that her feelings are real?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB6nStMCYG
Izuku: “I do. It’s hard to explain. I mean… how do you even prove something like that? But I can just tell… when we’re together.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ROBQkvR2Q
With that, Momo removes her hand.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjPXWcUUQJ
Momo: “You know, I~zuu~kuu… ”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7EBE0gIVS
Izuku: “Huh?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZbPeoLy32
The boy looks at Momo, who was smiling at him, but based on the red aura surrounding her, it wasn’t a good smile.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FrSjNG8Ts
Momo: “No girl likes to hear her crush talking about another girl during breakfast. One she made.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbqlJKPq09
Izuku: “S-Sorry!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGqmM9cIby
Momo sighs while Izuku digs into his food. She can only pick at it.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfdPLnwqZ7
Momo: “This is why I think it’s unhealthy. You two are codependent on each other. More than that, there’s so much else wrong with it. You’re siblings, she’s technically not even a teenager yet, and-”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy3qze9POd
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrAHNQIgFG
He stops eating and looks at the girl with a glare that freezes any words left in her throat.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxW7sxggyv
Izuku: “Listen, even if we… start d-dating, Kiri will always be a part of my life. She’s… like my other half. No matter what, we will be together. So I would prefer if you two got along instead of fighting. Don’t let jealousy cloud your judgment.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEGF3xmOto
Momo: “I’m not-”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmfPfipv5C
Izuku: “Momo.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JseS1splY
Momo: “… Fine, I’m a bit jealous. Can’t really blame me? She monopolizes your time, and you kissed her first.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA7prREW0U
Izuku: “I’ll be sure to be fair to both of you from now on.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9xPVfIvjk
Momo: “You’re talking as if you’ll date both of us.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h8vYtI95K
Izuku: “W-What?! O-Of course not, that wouldn’t work! Hahaha… ”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmtXBStiFo
Momo: “… No, I don’t think it would.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1iWzi9bbc
That signaled the end of that conversation. The duo ate their food in silence until it was time to leave. Despite the somewhat awkward conclusion, Momo was still able to give Izuku a goodbye kiss.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL65D6Vxhm
Stunned by the love and affection received, he can only watch Momo practically bounce away with joy at her heels.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvzcaV2w7Z
Izuku: ‘I-I really am lucky.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBYwnxVnTV
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqNoOGYfG4
Fubuki: “Where were you?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzO1x3uWpA
Izuku: ‘Nevermind.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra39M16OPR
After a few teleports, he made it back to the Blizzard Group, and his sister wasn’t happy. She was at the front with her arms crossed and eyes narrowed.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr5ibOlpbK
Fubuki: “You said you were going to get some extra training with a classmate. I didn’t expect you to stay the night, though. Should I know something?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WNffPfc67
Izuku: “Well… I… ”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg32TlYdAjg
Her face softens, and she lets out some soft giggles.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iYdvWq1Nw
Fubuki: “I guess my little brother is growing up. Just make sure to use protection.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDXOnZQIVR
Izuku: “I-I-It’s not like that!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCIeeOMrGb
Fubuki: “Sure it isn’t. Then what’s that perfume I smell and the smudge on your lips?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEUW2KnMTy
Izuku: “What!?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4oMlxdH2i
He quickly wipes his mouth, and sure enough, lipstick.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDb4rGATIA
Izuku: ‘Did she do that on purpose?!’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7ylseGDz3
Fubuki: “Okay, I’ll stop teasing. I won’t lie, though; I’m a bit jealous. I guess I’m the only single Midoriya. Not counting Kiri.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k3MF6DclQ
Izuku: “I-I’m sure you’ll find someone, Fubuki.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIELdGk89H
Fubuki: “Maybe… or I might have missed my chance a long time ago… ”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjq3PMmspc
She shakes away the memory of that old flame she blew out herself.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFqkrDhG6U
Fubuki: “Come on, we’re going on a joint field trip today.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kooPRDXh8
The boy follows his sister into the building and inquires further.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoofYRsLQf
Izuku: “Field trip?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8odt9qBp0N
Fubuki: “Yeah, you need to be able to patrol in different cities if needed. To adapt quickly to new environments. While we’re gone, I’ll leave Eyelashes in charge.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HkPOB8lBg
Izuku: “Okay, is Tatsu coming too?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS47KXAFmZ
Fubuki: “No, much to Akashi’s dismay. There was a small outbreak of quirk beasts a few cities away and another earthquake disaster. She was the only one that could make it in time.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETbdzzoSbU
Izuku: “She really is always on call huh?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG2bD4pdAI
Fubuki: “They’d call her overseas if they could.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXlCGLlqat
Izuku: “So… where are we going?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLBIqnsYV6
Fubuki: “Hosu City.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrreOJEaJb
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc16ttbuNrz
Even Momo had to admit she was worried about Kiri. She knew the news that her love for Izuku might be fake would be devastating. But it was harder to watch than she thought.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjLBMGRRSM
Darn her sympathy.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIff5hYhkyN
On the outside, Kiri seemed fine. She went through the motions of ninjutsu training alongside Tokoyami and her. But it was more robotic than usual.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxdhKSKflK
Momo: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I want to help her. Time for some more drastic measures.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mAUzulyoM
When the break came, Momo went to Kiri, who was simply standing next to a wall.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OFZgYg3UK
Momo: “Tae, are you okay? You seem… off today.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJoEIa07FP
Kiri: “… I’ll survive. I have my family.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKEhd3lmak
Momo: “So… I take it that you gave up on Izuku.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9ofqAgcdL
A slight twitch.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd7NWTXHgJ
Kiri: “First names?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ISoPHBhpc
Momo: “It was bound to happen. But you didn’t answer my question.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNDDeaTGvk
Kiri: “… I don’t want to give up. But… even Dark Shadow seems… uncertain of his emotions towards Tokoyami.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMm60i1zB1
Momo: “I see… ”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMQoEiebhU
She should be happy that Kiri is a step closer to backing off. But darn it, stepping on someone’s heart will never feel right to her. Her mind can’t help but see herself in Kiri’s shoes.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3svFaL1jWw
Momo: “Maybe… he just hasn’t come to an answer yet. I don’t know what you said to them, but I’m sure it was a lot to take in.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX6NmRUj2X
Kiri glances at Momo but doesn’t move any other part of her body.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZYpU3Ipmb
Kiri: “Why are you talking to me, Udders?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRvytM8OvM
And just like that, the sympathy is gone.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcjSsKVmYW
Momo: “Can you please call me something else?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRh9RiFLzA
Kiri: “No, it fits you.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFcUiq6DRT
Momo: “Wha… you know what? You’re right.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0xD2cfuxq
Kiri: “I know.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiChw6I93DV
Momo: “Anyway! You’re right because Izuku loves my… c-chest.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IbUBJH8iS
An intake of breath and another twitch.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYL8uHaWBX
Kiri: “Excuse me?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE4ENadU7n
Momo: “We made out, got really… i-i-intimate last night. Didn’t go all the way, but we thought about it.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUfgSopzt4
Kiri: “You-”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QH4VQHFCP
Momo: “So if you don’t stop moping around, I’ll take him from right under you.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTYzkH1Z23
She leaves for the shower before Kiri could retaliate. Along the way, what she just did hits her.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnrACKzXfd
Momo: ‘What was I thinking!? Why did I practically encourage her to keep chasing Izuku?!’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIp0rjdFIc
If it wouldn’t echo, she’d slam her head on the hall for her foolishness. But the answer to her question is obvious.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyovteiVmkq
Momo: ‘Someone I knew was in pain, and I wanted to help. I don’t hate Tae, despite everything. I just want Izuku to stay with me instead… ’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSInI047AYA
As the water hits her body, she thinks back to Izuku’s words this morning.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ0U2ublYV
Momo: ‘He’s right… those two will be together regardless if they’re dating or not. I’ll have to accept that and… try to get along with her. As long as she’s willing.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKmcwDKarq
With that in mind, she finished the shower and joined the other two back in the dojo. Kiri was still expressionless but did seem a bit more lively.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n7qkWLzov
Momo: ‘It’s strange I notice these things now.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd6jEGVxuk
Edgeshot: “Good job, you three did well today. Time for a joint field trip.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBm0THKbS3
Momo: “Field trip?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD8jRtUVCX
Edgeshot: “Yes. You’ll need to be able to quickly adapt to new environments and learn how to work with new people. You’ll be on your own as well. After I take you there, you’ll have to rely on your skills for this patrol. This will also be a good chance for you, Tokoyami.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQQPNcuC3c
Tokoyami: “How so?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG2yD4DLNh
Edgeshot: “This patrol will last till the night to test and train your stamina and stealth. Night calls are not uncommon. You need to be ready.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBXfOcAXjq
Tokoyami: “… Understood.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5jx1VrcrE
Kiri: “Location?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9wmk4gWzy
Edgeshot: “Hosu City. Yes, the other city with the recent earthquakes.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmcKrfaKhz
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUuLHMjPvd
Kaoru: “No Tornado… ”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbB9zFpTQH
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvA4PSkBQW
Fubuki: “Get over it and focus. Big sis was pampering you anyway.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXoMTSaB2N
Fubuki’s group consisted of Izuku, Kaoru, Alice, Lily, and Mountain Ape. They were all in their hero costumes. Alice’s costume stood out as a nature-themed suit with a white and green color scheme along with an orange glass mask. Thanks to Izuku’s suggestions, she had several pockets filled with different seeds.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PExbvJDTY
Currently, the group is at the designated meeting place within Hosu City. Apparently, they are the first ones here.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTKGbEKSIP
Alice: “Are we too early?
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeeZWIRX2C
Fubuki: “No, just on time.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB5L0a3tpZ
Izuku: “Then where are the two other groups?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMiwM991bl
Fubuki: “One is late. The other is hiding. Edgeshot, you’ve taught your kids well.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ol5dxH4qL
Edgeshot: “And your senses have gotten better.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdThZYTtQAm
Out of the shadow come four ninjas.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtupf8L7pwo
Kaoru: “Whoa, what the heck!?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOciJNKylXV
Lily: “Cool…”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A00qrcsrX
Mountain Ape: “Tch, ninjas… ”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMG5I4PaIa
Izuku: “Kiri! Momo!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnQe67Ze8O
The two girls warmly smile at the boy before returning to their tough ninja masks.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvk4b7OtqJ
Edgeshot: “Seems like Gunhead is not here yet.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L6lGf3yF8
Fubuki: “We’ll wait 15 more minutes.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsa7H8PMTG
Izuku: “Gunhead? That means Uraraka and… Kirishima will come.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvDb6LwUCN
Izuku: ‘Yep, I’m still a bit jealous of him. I’m such a hypocrite.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFC8i2m1Ew
Kaoru: “Hey, you three have pretty cool cloaks.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aPPigwVQq
Now that she mentions it, yeah. Momo and Kiri now have hooded cloaks similar to Tokoyami, even with the same color.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTAilzt3bh
Alice: “You really come across as ninjas.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1nA87jsCN
Tokoyami: “We have been embraced by the shadows.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRw8VCTERm
Kiri: “Nh.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NcJ1Ptw49
Momo: “Black isn’t really a part of my color scheme though.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUaQUrB4GF
She says while readjusting the silver clasp of her cloak.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPefne59wTf
Izuku: “It… l-looks good on you though.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhVm0xngzi
Momo: “R-Really? Well… I guess I can make an exception.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHz3yz6r6i
Kiri can only sigh at their blush.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlutrq1I1k
Kiri: ‘Is this my life now?’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6otkRmU8c
Edgeshot: “Here they come.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW87EdetrcN
Just then, Gunhead was running towards them along with his two interns.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvng5S3udPv
Gunhead: “Sorry we’re late. Had to deal with a purse snatcher, if you can believe it.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64mYtm9Pt3
Uraraka: “Midoriya!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFKQvkJcFL
Kirishima: “Hey, Tae!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUb77W82sv
The group comes together to share their internship tales while the adults describe the plans.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3trqGicvqE
Fubuki: “The odd ones out are Alice and Kaoru. Build the teams around those two.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3YXnhxTIa
Edgeshot: “Agreed, that way the teams aren’t all classmates.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0F8rXXJXq
Gunhead: “Adding one of your Blizzard Group members can help even things out.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhSm8cBpJe
Fubuki: “Alright, but I’m keeping Mountain Ape with me. That way it’s 3x3.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKWQcmerqa
Edgeshot: “Very well. Here are the patrolling teams. And remember, let the kids grow into their own. Only interfere if necessary.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQeyzWAZGA
Gunhead: “Roger.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsPDJ6zpcG
Kaoru’s Team:
- Tokoyami
- Kirishima
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pknjRv7kS
Alice’s Team:

- Uraraka
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFSSEw9xQ5
Lily’s Team:

- Momo
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0xIEz6YQm
Kiri and Momo couldn’t help but give Izuku the side-eye for having two cute girls other than them at his side. He didn’t meet their gaze.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgpg0q5cT6
Fubuki: “Make sure to lead them well, Lily.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeQeanJDlI
Lily: “Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡascKMLL6x2
Edgeshot: “We’ll meet back here in 12 hours.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJgr5gQgaW
Everyone: “12 hours!?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrgoZ0mHYq
Fubuki: “The city is large, and sometimes you’ll need to patrol that long if other heroes are unavailable.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdfPSt9sxd
Gunhead: “I hate when that happens. Having to cover nearly a whole city with just a few good pro heroes.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm95JxkXQUO
Edgeshot: “Especially when it’s for some big event or because some pro needed to take special leave for whatever reason.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvFCA3RBPL
Fubuki: “So you all understand?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecjDsKreqD
They nodded, if a bit slowly.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQNFbzEHcr
Fubuki: “Don’t worry. We won’t be that far away if something goes wrong and you have our numbers.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSWiuhwXk8
Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9RYxa5TmE
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqOABsgfNX
On top of the many buildings stands a killer of fake heroes. Behind him, a black portal opens. From within exist Tomura and Azrael.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOzinPExln
Tomura: “Hosu, man… it’s surprisingly prosperous.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSEOp2Taz6
Azrael: “Not for long, I’d imagine.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SabWkzUTj
Stain: “I’m going to reform this city, and for that, more… sacrifices are needed.”

The killer opens his arms, as if to embrace the city.

Stain: “The title ‘Hero’ should only be permitted to those who have achieved great undertakings! There are too many of them… counterfeit ‘Heroes’ who worship themselves or the almighty dollar. Follow me, assistant; we will teach them the error of their ways.”

He jumps off the roof, hand grasping his blade, ready to rend the weeds from the trees.

Tomura: “This is your second outing. What have you learned?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHBABMMA9S
Azrael: “He’s as talented of a fighter as I suspected. However, we could take him out if needed. His quirk seems to be the ability to paralyze those whose blood he consumes. Duration varies on blood type.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bXPSBLCRT
Tomura: “So just a tool?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrToKzfoxg
Azrael: “One with a message.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVHVgvVHMn
The man scoffs at the notion.

Tomura: “Does he want to raise up a damn grassroots movement or what?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjM5xd0kkp
Kurogiri: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjhZHz07I7
Tomura: “Oh?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8mj66TKMm
Kurogiri: “The reality is that in all the cities where Stain has appeared, the crime rates have fallen. Some critics attribute this to a rise in heroes becoming more aware and on guard. Simply, an increase of hero activity.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIwmQ3vhgh
Tomura: “Wow, well isn’t that just fantastic! So the more he appears, the more heroes crack down on crime? So the ‘hero killer’ is also a ‘hero breeder’!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFlgKChlCJ
After Tomura stops laughing at the hilarity of the situation, he stills and starts scratching his neck.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlx1KkLENf
Tomura: “As I thought… at the root we just don’t get along… annoying. If you want to kill, then kill. Those ideals only get in the way.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv6v2FGC86
Azrael: “I can already tell you want to unleash the Nomus; I would advise against it.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9rR3XGbdh
He stops scratching his neck and glances at Azrael.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR2c0aTFuK
Tomura: “And why is that?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWGnehr1uD
Azrael: “If Stain won’t work in our organization, and his goals only serve to make things worse for us, then I’ll kill him. But not before he explains to me what he saw in me.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAJMU2GKhT
Tomura: “It was probably nothing. Don’t let it get to you.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1de8j9Dby
Azrael: “Maybe, but… I want to know. Besides, you shouldn’t waste Nomus or quirk beasts on this. Not unless we need to.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFkzf7eoTa
Tomura: “… Fine. You and the strategist did manage to acquire those big quirk beasts for us. Wouldn’t want to waste them on him. He isn’t worth it.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MEgZcn4kE
Azrael: “Thank you. Where is Apotheosis, by the way?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNhpoNCWnP
Tomura: “Tch, where do you think?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRNjszhIpr
Azrael: “Right… he’s been stuck in there for a while. Well, try to relax at base while I catch up with Stain. I’ll call if I need reinforcements.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsOV8wJunL
With that, the eldest disappears into a mud portal. As for Tomura, he began to scratch his neck again.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QOtuj8T9g
Tomura: “Annoying… I want to crush the so-called ‘hero killer’s’ precious pride and prestige. Killing him isn’t enough. A few Nomus wouldn’t be so bad, right, Azrael?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8r41FOD1b
Sensing the command, Kurogiri opens a portal that unleashes five varied and grotesque nomus into the city.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbleeO5gzbR
Tomura: “Level… start.”
