Izuku gazed out the plane window and thought about how this all happened. It was a surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yfWUoNb5j
The tournament finalists got 3 tickets to the artificial moving city inhabited by over 10,000 scientists, I-Island. Right on time for the I-Expo.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q537EGXCS
Using that as a chance, All Might pulled some strings to get the whole class to join. This way, we’re not separated and can spend some of our suspension doing something fun and/or productive.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgefmBjQ4i6
Izuku: ‘I’m sure someone there will be able to help Ida.’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWsGey6L3U
While thinking on the past, the boy is distracted by the sound of something exploding across from his seat on the private plane.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KGx7y3HKL
Kaoru: “Can you not do that on a plane, you psycho!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZjNKNu0Dj
Due to finalists not being able to travel together, the groups had to be divided strategically. Izuku got to stay on a plane with Kaoru Akashi and-
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fmk0oMjpH
Mei: “You can’t expect me to not work on my babies for hours on end! I’d go crazy!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILgFK67Cur
Kaoru: “Better crazy than dead!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87l6GsMg9m
His class wasn’t the only one that was allowed on this trip. Good thing too, despite Hatsume’s eccentricities she is one of the best people to work on a new leg for Ida.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMOirEuByl
Izuku smiles at Kaoru hanging over the back of her seat, bantering with the still tinkering Hatsume. It’s a bit of a shame he couldn’t spend time with Kiri or Momo instead.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zot61AySz
But considering his feelings for them, maybe it’s for the best. Especially after what Kiri said before they left.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIymmX72Q4A
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdJztaP8gv
Inko: “Have fun, you two!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyVV4T88Vh
Their mother hugs Kiri and Izuku, making sure to squeeze enough love to make up for Tatsumaki and Fubuki’s absence.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg9NtH5dS9
Izuku: “We will, don’t worry.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPiQPLmTeN
Kiri: “Nh.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsP8iZT3Wa
Inko: “It’s been a long time since I’ve been alone at home for a few days. I’ll miss you two.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ0dZ68Ar4
Izuku: “We’ll miss you too. And if you get lonely, I’m sure Fubuki or Tatsu will spend time with you.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpLj8COe0Q
Inko: “I hope so… ”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzwg2m0rPs
Before they could worry too much about those two, Inko sent them off. Wouldn’t want them to miss their planes.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvF65cqroj
Along the way, the two made some small talk. Most notable being their partners on this trip.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq8tbFLsEm
Kiri: “Akashi and Hatsume. Two girls… ”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCvVZK5CEB
Izuku: “Tokoyami and Kirishima. Two guys.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxHk3IE0Zf
Kiri: “Fair.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZllBypMmsz
After a moment to collect her thoughts, Kiri stopped walking to declare her intentions.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHO8IrPZOh
Izuku: “Kiri?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBKgOF7FLw
To his surprise, Kiri grabbed his shirt and claimed his lips. Like a woman who hasn’t drunk water in days, Kiri lapped up the pleasure, and Izuku returned in kind. But before they can do more, she backed off and took a breath.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQkpTDg7g8
Izuku: “W-Why did you-”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkrPmvDXfC
Kiri: “I don’t know if I was made to love you, to better protect you. But I want to love you. And I choose to.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp6A2nrMD9
Izuku: “That means… ”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUF6tl1eGA
Kiri: “I’m not giving up. And… ”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnifyo6aOXW
She whispers the last part in his ear.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3sqUsv9gX
Kiri: “I heard what you did with Udders; I want my turn.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09KCcafmyq
Leaving him to sit in the implications, Kiri bounced away towards her destination.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qOMO16q1b
Izuku: “… Wow.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcOJTTPQSS
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBTD3A4qAf
Izuku: “Yeah, it’s for the best. Who knows what would have happened?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7J7bgFYuZ
“Attention passengers. This plane will soon begin its descent to I-Island.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4STYtQ9o5
Kaoru: “Finally! I think we might have been the last one.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44THAS32vS
Mei: “Oooh, I smell a new baby in the making! Making this plane fly faster will be a great challenge!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjApGYiKAW
Kaoru: “Midoriya, make her stop.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh2RoPZDbF
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvG71Wyhwn
The plane soon landed, and the trio exited wearing their hero gear. Well, Kaoru and Izuku did; Mei only needs her inventing clothes.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHy0AckAm6
Izuku: “Wow, it’s even more beautiful than I thought.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCYkeZIMYM
The mobile island was massive. Despite the imposing walls that surround it, the actual island was gorgeous. There were four different cities, one in the middle, with three others at each point of a surrounding triangle.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElNosMMI9c
Each city was surrounded by man-made lakes. Finally, near the edges of the inner ring-shaped barriers were dense forests. Truly, an isolated paradise with the styling of a theme park.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyH7YERS91
After the trio went through the strict hi-tech customs, they decided to split up.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAuMH2FKg5
Kaoru: “I’m going to look for Sabrina. Aoi and Shiho should be with her. I won’t get in trouble for flying, will I?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xM9HQMWfG
Izuku: “Nope, you can use your quirk freely here.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlTBCN2397
Kaoru: “Sweet! Later, Midoriya.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP21LP7EJV0
As Kaoru flies off, Izuku notices that Hatsume has already wandered off. No doubt to sell her gear to scientists or learn something new from them.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7WbzE5Nph
Izuku: “Well, guess that means I’m on my own.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y3ODjBdq1
Just then, the boy noticed some commotion nearby.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5JqVBq0SQ
“W-Wait, ALL MIGHT!!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm75rFKLmHS
“The number one hero!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RLLC4blHF
“We need an interview!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuLvlnbUcU
“Get closer!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDQoDbgWtd
The boy sees All Might get swarmed by a bunch of people and reporters.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRZtrdGrfI
All Might: “AHAHAHAH! Thank you for such a warm welcome! Line up for autographs!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9AQYa1EoK
Izuku smiles at the sight and goes to leave; that is, until he runs into Tsuyu and Ida.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU5EnEeJqP
Izuku: “Gah! Where did you two come from?!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCuYOH6WnN
Tsuyu: “Escaped before the swarm, kero.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoODuh472N0
Izuku: “I see.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiSmViHQKW
The boy couldn’t help but notice Ida’s current condition. Right now, he is in a wheelchair being pushed by Tsuyu. His expression is neutral and blank, but despite that, Izuku can see some hope in his eyes. This place is one of the most scientifically advanced areas on the planet; if they can’t help Ida, no one can.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ird58JaHH
Izuku: “So, do you want to wait together until they’re done?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeCeESWAOc
Ida: “No choice. All Might knows where our hotel is.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRi2j0zeMN
Tsuyu nods to confirm Ida’s words. Understanding the situation, Izuku waited with the two until All Might was finished. It didn’t take long for the silence to become awkward. Thankfully, Tsuyu did have something she wanted to say. She just needed a moment.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG67JF5yE6m
Tsuyu: “Midoriya?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKXuHq0Fon
Izuku: “Yeah?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhHCzyYZeu
Tsuyu: “I… I’m sorry for what I did before… at the amusement park.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoFaTyTiDU
The boy recalls that time so long ago when Tsuyu was filled with fear because of him.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUTIPNHYpq
Izuku: “O-Oh, it’s fine. It was my fault anyway; I’m… better now.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKe9SIlXv9
She shakes her head.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7xzFbo5Jr
Tsuyu: “It’s not your fault, kero. I didn’t know what came over me.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwze1SgXJH
Izuku: ‘And you don’t need to know.’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFonmLrsMKO
Ida: “All Might is coming.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtOGU9Ke2C
The two refocused on the present as All Might appeared with several lipstick marks.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWovVJNDKp
All Might: “I didn’t think I’d be stopped that long. Sorry for that.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEIufnZdCl
Tsuyu: “It’s alright, kero.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVHYmjulqJ
Izuku: “Hi, All Might.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iqGDo72Je
All Might: “Glad to see you, young Midoriya. Once I’m done with young Ida and checking up with an old friend, I need to speak with you and young Yaoyorozu.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCr5edmOFH
The boy should’ve known there would be something happening. He sighs and nods. Before those out of the loop could ask about anything, the group heard a boing sound. Looking up over the nearby stairs, they watch as a blond girl bounces down to them with a pogo stick.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYsRqtNFIX
Eventually, she got closer to jump off the stick and into All Might’s waiting arms.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi4eVnQPsl
“Uncle Might!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCyqy7GY91
All Might: “Melissa! You’ve gotten so big!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvNQOwPDE4
He says while happily spinning her around.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY1WvoZBcS
Melissa: “It’s been so long! I’m so glad you came!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlCPAgEJ9R
All Might: “Wouldn’t miss it for the world! But I almost didn’t recognize you.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTVDwTNImc
Melissa: “Well, I am seventeen now. I’m pretty heavy now, huh?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BtqyHduQc
All Might: “Not at all!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSFjY68ewq
He laughed again while playfully throwing her a little into the air to prove his words. After that, he let her down. Meanwhile, Ida and Izuku sported bewildered looks, shocked at the close relationship. As for Tsuyu, her expression was the same, but you can tell she appreciates the warmth.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVvOyeuuTq
Melissa: “I’m glad to see you’re well. Sorry I was a bit late. I was really caught up with an experiment and lost track of time.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQidCqCI6EC
All Might: “Oh, it’s not a big deal, Melissa! I was busy getting mobbed, after all. AHAHAHAH!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KJjeruiSE
The hero turned to Ida and pointed his hand towards him.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqIkyrLX4d
All Might: “Here is young Ida, the one I was telling you about over the phone.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwEFqXDK2s
Melissa: “Oh! Nice to meet you, I’m Melissa Shields. My father is a good friend of All Might.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxSEIYnBQo
She offers her hand, and he takes it after a while.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUegFW60PK
Ida: “H-Hello, I’m Tenya Ida. T-Thank you… for trying to help me.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBRqjiqaAo
Melissa: “Don’t worry, I’m on the case. Sorry my father can’t help too; he has his own project to work on. But, apparently, your group brought me some help.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mFHk4lPY2
Izuku: “Yes, Mei Hatsume and Momo Yaoyorozu. I don’t know where they are at the moment.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVeqG9m19p
Melissa: “Don’t worry, I’ll find them. Meanwhile, I’d like to know more about you three.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPMJcuEk6Y
She goes to shake Izuku’s hand and then Tsuyu’s, both giving her their full names.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb1fO3cOvC
All Might: “Well, you all have fun. I’ll go and pay your father a visit. Here is the hotel key and location.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5DZJPeVsQ
He hands the information and item to Tsuyu before leaving. The group waved All Might goodbye as he hurried towards the central tower of the island.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkJ08ITPSn
Melissa: “Now then, let me give you a tour. I’m sure we’ll run into your friends eventually. After that, we can properly start on the Engine Project.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ipJ80NjsU
The group followed Melissa as she showed the amazing sights of the island. The one most geeking out was Izuku, who knew just how much it would take to build all of this.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK2F7jbLZq
Izuku: “Whoa, this place is amazing! I can’t believe the whole island is man-made; it’s nuts.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQafzSuR5W
Tsuyu: “Look.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNh9Dqzkrc
Izuku: “No way!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bbKxKG93D
The group looks towards the group of people crowding around another famous hero.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2uQQ97Jig
Izuku: “It’s the Monster Hero: Godzillo!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkG809Gpel
Tsuyu: “My brother loves his movies, kero.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGkiusK9i0
Izuku: “Me too!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCwePXbAJu
Melissa: “Nice, I bet a sponsor flew him out there for the expo.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQTtLMM0ex
Izuku: “Yeah, I heard it’s pretty expensive to sponsor someone. My sister actually used that system to fly Emory here too. I wanted her to bring Shinso too, but it was too much.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtezSs4ppcQ
Izuku: ‘At least I convinced Aizawa to help train him.’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjXDrK6ms6
Melissa: “I heard that Blizzard was loaded. Didn’t know she was that well-off. Oh, look!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBybGpN4S5
While walking, she points to a nearby building. But whatever was inside could wait; Ida stopped the group.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQJ7HcHbXv
Ida: “If you don’t mind, I’d like to rest in my room. I’ve seen enough.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl6LaE9wkR
The three look at him with worry, and it only makes him feel worse. He… doesn’t deserve this.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HECh22QZS
Izuku: “Are you sure?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb7a5oGyYc
Ida: “Yes. Tsuyu, you don’t have to push me. I can handle it.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPG3JxF4Et
She shakes her head and keeps her hands on the back of the wheelchair.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPZ5jxTSmN
Tsuyu: “It’s fine. I want to help.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeVGjZuwBC
The boy’s shoulders slump, understanding he can’t change her mind.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBYbsNfTz9
Ida: “Alright. T-Thank you.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4LvnbAiAm
Melissa: “Well, if you’re sure, then we’ll see you later. I’ll keep you updated on the Engine Project.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDdwDSDHKI
He simply nods before being pushed in another direction by Tsuyu.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK9v1nPiL4
Izuku: “Ida… ”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzcrZX7s0D
Melissa: “Uncle Might didn’t give me all the details. Who did this to him?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrodXRhSKdi
Izuku: “A… villain. But Ida blames himself because he put himself in the situation.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNA6Ph6dKK
Melissa: “Why?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PCFIfzpbp
Izuku: “To avenge his brother.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8l08LfLL0
Melissa: “Wait, so the Hero Killer did that?!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Og73wQNkD
Izuku: ‘So his name reaches even here…’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSXhwOzMr7
Izuku: “He was involved but not the main cause. Anyway, it’s not important. As long as Ida can get a new leg and become a hero.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnVDdfjsCK
Melissa: “Of course, don’t worry. Like I said, I’m the case. But right now, let’s continue the tour. I’m sure we’ll run into one of my helpers I’ve heard so much about.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWJekREYYZ
Izuku: “Yeah… ”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2aZrq5IyI
Izuku: ‘It’s also a good way to focus on something less heavy.’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnjPCFYFKs
The duo entered the building Melissa pointed to before, and the sight helped ease their nerves. The soft blue lights and the diverse hero item selection.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn2GuDHsnM
Izuku’s inner geek wanted to burst out and cheer at the displays. But he just didn’t feel like it right now.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9766gw0qZJ
Melissa: “Midoriya, look at this one!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d3z4huG6m
Didn’t mean the girl wasn’t going to try and lighten the mood. She points to some sort of high-tech air vehicle. Looks high-speed if the holographic video above the display was anything to go by.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRwoxD8pDS
Melissa: “This multipurpose Beagle can fly like a jet, of course, but it can also move underwater!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5z67FJXZI
Izuku: “That’s… that’s… so cool!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkDRudCNrp
Melissa: “Haha, I’m glad you think so. Come on, there is something I want to show you.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtReid1dFS4
She grabs his hand and leads him to another display. This one was of a special diving suit.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUckjkElJUb
Melissa: “You can wear this diving suit and drop seven thousand meters in the ocean.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgENJ4BSdX1
Izuku: “So deep!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLfQ7xlglF
Next, Melissa takes him to a booth where he can try out some support gear.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj4rn2cd1N
Melissa: “This helmet is equipped with 36 different sensors so you can see all around your body.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGqaqM1Ym5
Izuku: “Um, I actually can do that already. Sort of.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXoL1QAXAY
Melissa: “Oh… ”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJvq0lxgWJ
Izuku: “S-Still cool though! Let’s go to the next one!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5fmWZ5Gow
The duo continued to explore and relax in the display hall. But it doesn’t entirely work; seeing all these support items gets Melissa thinking.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyLrRGY9Xc
Melissa: “You know, almost everything here was created based on inventions Papa patented.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJacqtZoQv3
Izuku: “Wow, I bet you’re proud of him.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81G3VzpxND
Izuku: ‘Wish I could say the same.’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCoiAmyXtR
Melissa: “Yep. Each of these support items will help heroes around the world. I hope I can add to his legacy with the Engine Project. So… I want to say thanks for trusting me with it.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFws4IQ8Wgl
Izuku: “N-No, no, you don’t have to thank me. All Might was the one who recommended you.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mQsHWWSZJ
Melissa: “But Ida is your friend, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want someone you don’t trust working on him.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ2jzoyrzg
Izuku: “I guess… you’re right.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb0suRlSmH
Melissa: “So, thanks again. I won’t let you down.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7p2mo5EHq
The boy nods and gives her a reassuring smile.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELlZz3h37v
Izuku: “I know you won’t.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvERijTRrE
As the two give each other bright smiles, Izuku suddenly feels a chill creep up his spine.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2nMF3s1ds
Kiri: “Having fun?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw78XhGcYM
The boy freezes for a second before slowly turning to face his blank-faced sister.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL9t0vWOMo
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29qQsMSltH
Momo: “Ahem. You appear to be having a good time.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Zd78n5d2
Izuku: “Momo, too?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkg3fypzYv
Jiro: “Midoriya, how’s it going?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEGizBlI5o
Izuku: “Even, Jiro? Okay, everyone calm down.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkGMD1z4hT
Kiri: “We are perfectly calm.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG2kFGrtoo
Momo: “Very.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcwVjRjGcm
Melissa: “Are these your friends?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqiTqyk0HE
Izuku: “Um, y-yeah, these are my classmates.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3N91yqL9M
Izuku: ‘Let’s not bring up how two of them are more than that at the moment. One of whom is my sister, sort of. Time to change subjects.’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEaVDF9M9n
Izuku: “In fact, Momo here is one of the people who will help you in the Engine Project.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAuwRdCezz
Melissa: “Oh! I knew we’d run into each other eventually. Nice to meet you.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbVhdpnn0V
Momo, not seeing anything really wrong, sighs and shakes Melissa’s offered hand.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb1gCuq3jP
Momo: “Likewise.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetg3er7Wf0
Melissa: “So what’s your quirk? I heard it’s incredible.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUN0oCo95N
Momo: “Well, I can create things.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFM9RPJ1gL
To prove this, she holds her arm out and produces a matryoshka doll painted exactly like Melissa. The other girl quickly caught the doll as it popped out of Momo’s skin.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3HqWot75D
Melissa: “Oh my goodness! That’s amazing! No wonder you were put on the project. I can’t wait to meet my other partner.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5e4F6D5rh
Momo: “Well, she is certainly… a character.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Bz1Ua2xq
Melissa: “My gosh, I already have so many ideas. With you, I could even upgrade your hero costumes if you’d want. Instant production would cut down on time substantially.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3FshlBv2q
Momo: “Hahaha, you’re just like Izuku when he nerds out.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitqQjJFBla
Kiri: “Nh.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMcFdWYVAh
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgJSK4fkVU
Jiro: “I’m starting to feel like a third wheel.”

Melissa: “Well, we can’t have that. I actually have some ideas in my head regarding your quirk specifically.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eQ3vKErzX
Jiro: “Huh? W-Why?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5q9sfrXr3
Melissa: “I didn’t have time to see the whole tournament, but I did see your match, and I was fascinated by your sonic gun.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Vd4oEh8t
Jiro: “W-Well… Momo made that so-”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1oqtaVJG0
Melissa: “Even more reason for us to discuss this over some tea. Follow me.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5GUdJ4yL9
Caught in her wave of excitement, the group let Melissa lead them out of the building. While the girl talked, Kiri stayed a bit back with Izuku.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG9vqoiaRy
Kiri: “Love rival?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR92SbPiEzC
Izuku: “O-Of course not! We’re just friends. Her father is David Shield, All Might’s friend.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnODnZi5DQ
Kiri: “I see. That’s good. After all, you still owe me.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCp0bctg3b
Izuku: “I…uh…”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMfCZTt33Z
Giving in, Izuku just sighs and nods. The sight puts a smile on Kiri’s face. Eventually, the group makes it to an outdoor cafe area.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMLeZh8WDH
Melissa: “Wow, you all really got to work with pro heroes!? Like on the field?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcrHYWSWDa
Kiri: “Nh. Fun.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSOXU67Zp6
Momo: “Until it wasn’t it.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEefA2MxEOc
Melissa: “Yeah, I heard. I’m sorry you all had to go through such a horrifying experience.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fcx3T9bDY
Jiro: “Well, I wasn’t really there so… ”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VwirpGI8h
Momo: “I’m glad you weren’t there, Kyoka. It was stressful as is.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ988ID5LCWO
Jiro: “Still, I wish I could have been there to help.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4OqSAzseN
Kiri: “Might happen. So prepare.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mHnGgobsl
Melissa: “Right! So, about those support gear upgrades I was talking about.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSP53NScgx
Izuku starts to tune out the girl talk happening at the other table and focus on his drink.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNXIOU6zvy
Denki: “Thanks for waiting.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhN24PWnDu
Izuku: “Thanks for the drink, Kaminari. Still surprised you decided to work on break.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKMnsWiDDv
Denki: “Well, they need the extra staff, and they pay, so I thought, why not? I even managed to convince Tokoyami to help out.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQNhSEbiWN
He points his thumb to another table being served by a Tokoyami in a clean-cut suit. Despite his bird appearance, the girls he’s serving seem to like him. If the
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDx3MOw7uc
Denki: “Might give Todoroki a run for his money at this right. Who would have guessed?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVUSz5Z3L1
Izuku: “Speaking of, where is he?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwjsCEemyh
Just then, a large explosion was heard far in the distance. It was strong enough to shake the ground a bit. Worried about it, the group quickly made their way to the source.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmq1uluL5E
Izuku was the first one to arrive and see what appears to be some sort of battle arena.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ0lyHZt95
“A clearance time of 28 seconds. He’s in seventh place.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cXZ4zq2cl
On top of a small rocky mountain was Kirishima smiling after defeating several robots scattered about.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcPHco0Mbq
Kiri: “That’s where Rocky went.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7Vtf8Sg1X
The boy turned around to see the rest of his friends arriving on the scene.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkYtXGD0aj
Melissa: “So I’m guessing that’s another U.A student as well?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQF1LhMeRg
Izuku: “Yeah, he’s from our class too.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWhEldGotm
“Now, welcome our next challenger!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSIKRygQQG
The group looks down to see Bakugo walking towards the starting area with a determined gaze.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHuOjmtktm
“The villain attack force has been reset! Ready… go!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVTcHnX7yS
As soon as the words were spoken, Bakugo blasted off like a rocket. Every robot was taken out with a single blow in rapid succession.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb9di8hLlr
Bakugo: “DIE!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAPE3dCs18
Melissa: “Die?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3gFu3t5ns
Izuku: “It’s his catchphrase, don’t worry about it?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ik2V449V4
“Look at that time! Only 10 seconds, he’s in first place.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3F1NYVS5h
Kaoru: “Booo! I demand a recount! Boooo!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxpgOsHqgC
Apparently, Izuku’s group wasn’t the only one here. Not far away, sitting in the audience, were Kaoru and her friends.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP3IiEszsB
Izuku: “You guys, you participated too?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT3sO0u5Ou
Aoi: “Only Kaoru and Sabrina did. Kaoru got first place with 12 seconds, which is why she is mad.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer6qbiqO9c
Kaoru: “I can’t believe I lost to that jerk.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfifjvI3CP
Kiri: “I thought Scary Eyes or Flash would be first.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRXJ4EhdO7
Sabrina: “My range is not as good as Kaoru’s. Still got third with 15 seconds.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlTr1w21WH
Aoi: “If I’m Flash, then it’s because I want everyone else to go first.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPKhttJnmg
Kiri: “Confident?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBNV6tyWVo
Aoi: “Of course.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlVbqQuXXV
Melissa: “Wow, Midoriya, you have a lot of colorful friends.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS44w24Dtt
Izuku: “Yeah, I’m lucky to know them.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JANSPbi2f
Bakugo: “Deku!!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU511CjkWd
The boy turned just in time to see Bakugo jump onto the rails and glare at him. Tensions rise as the two refuse to break eye contact.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJff0AeNZP7
Melissa: “What’s up with those two?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQekVJvhck
Momo: “Let’s just say they have history.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueB8n1iUSY
Kiri: “Ugh.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyode3J7Oht
Bakugo: “Why are you here, Deku!? I know you’re not here trying to beat my score.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU72RaJhPLj
Izuku: “N-No, I was just checking what caused that loud noise.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYvBiwjc4h
Bakugo: “Tch, I should’ve known you’d back out of this too. You don’t deserve to be here, Deku!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog2jsLQ6In
Izuku: “Are you still on about that?! By that logic, you don’t deserve to be here either!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuymYisssY
Before either could say anything more, a surprise cooled them down.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCGiwHn5dc
Uraraka: “Bakugo, didn’t you say you were going to watch my attempt?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEhFSfWE2E
The duo turned to see Uraraka, who’s about ready to jump down to the starting area.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vOLNb7Yyq
Bakugo: “Hah!? I didn’t say that, round face!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DqXJBwjX2
Uraraka: “Then you’ll miss how I’ll break your record.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1umrivYmbb
Bakugo: “There’s no way that’s happening!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4EB0ptOCJ
Deciding this was more important, Bakugo jumped over the rail just as Uraraka did. Izuku could only stare in awe.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApc0REpxs4
Izuku: ‘How did she do that?’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Oln8plWeB
Denki: “Oh? Does Bakugo have a soft spot for Uraraka?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFmIyZ68H3
Kirishima: “Hahaha!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kwmHPNGEA
Bakugo: “Hah!?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaTdRQG5NU
Before the boy could correct that misinformation with a bomb in the face, the round started. Uraraka brought what seemed to be floating debris tethered to grappling hooks from her gauntlets.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XoZW7pHAB
When the countdown started, she spun around fast and released the tethered debris, firing it at the stationed robots. When their weight was restored, they shot off like bullets.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUdJh3F3Ko
All of the robots were torn apart, and the time was called.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmFWwB2V3I
“Excellent showing! Clear time, 11 seconds!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgebV9hqcX8
Uraraka: “Aw, man! So close.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwCQz9AFaa
Kaoru: “No way, I’m third now?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPurww2ypA7
Sabrina: “Impressive.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RCwMXOQUP
Bakugo said nothing and doesn’t seem to have reacted to it. But Izuku could tell; he has been around Kacchan long enough to notice the slight smile.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt8QV0cV5q
Izuku: ‘He really is changing… but… for some reason.’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGkxXgWc07
I don’t like it.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT87gv8VmNk
Uraraka: “You’re turn, Midoriya.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8blUVSYS2r
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhygvyG7uay
Kirishima: “Yeah, we want to see what you can do.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx7kuZw1r1
Bakugo: “Tch, like he could beat round face’s score, let alone mine!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZphLoOF4g
Izuku: “… Fine.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cCr8ugYpS
As Izuku floats downcast, Aoi sighs.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5wM9ObOAD
Aoi: “I shouldn’t have waited. I doubt I can beat his score.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyTIVPIjdE
Kaoru: “Huh?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI2r40iiS7
“We got another challenger! Today is just full of surprises. But what is this?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHaDAAHMf6
Instead of standing, Izuku sits on the ground in a meditative state and closes his eyes.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuo1DHcTUE
“Um… are you ready?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrdgsNi87R
Izuku: “Yes.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF0PAljYXp
“Well… okay… start!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEbENIfA45
The second the first syllable left the announcer’s mouth, Izuku’s body erupted in green. Every single bot on the course started to glow and then rapidly flew from their hiding places. After that, they were smashed into each other, creating a jagged metal sphere. Finally, Izuku slammed the result into the ground.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMThYg6U9L
All without moving an inch.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqYTnzfwae
“AMAZING! Seven seconds! SEVEN SECONDS! Two seconds away from our ALL-TIME RECORD!
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4z3U1Sndd
The boy breathed in and out before floating back up to the stands.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWMz9ovZME
Kiri: “As expected.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eE5RR167M
Kirishima: “Way to go, man!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxzfsGrxJD
Karou: “Ugh, I have to get better at sensing things; I could have done that too!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8Y2Pwd5nY
Bakugo: “Tch! I’m going again and blowing that score to ash!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZIVT4A6ja
“SIX SECONDS!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJXNOWVyPR
The whole group turns to see who beat Izuku’s score, and it was none other than Todoroki. The whole small mountain was frozen over.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1aII3INIe
Denki: “Yep, should have seen that coming.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKP4Xb5vVv
Bakugo: “Him again!?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOUaEC5n8i
Melissa: “Another one from U.A? You guys are amazing! You’re all going to be great heroes.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEk2Fcg1o6
Momo: “You’re too kind.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSmaJoQrkt
“Due to the state of the area, we will only allow one more challenger.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHHCyIWlRc
Bakugo: “Me!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9odtB2Fiwx
“No retries.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmqtPDOWyU
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9hV5eGW82
Kirishima: “Maybe next time, Bakugo.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJjwoEvwIj
Izuku: “So, who’s going?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTH6h8aKhL
Jiro: “Not interested. I don’t want to embarrass myself.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rjIEO9vFi
Kiri: “Boring.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBb0NQtKnE
Aoi: “I lost my chance. I can’t beat six seconds.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3MQhS4fly
Shiho: “I want to see what Yaoyorozu can do.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fiwU57dty
Momo: “M-Me?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F1aHJgE1a
Melissa: “Oh, yeah! Me too! I want to see your quirk in action.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYzKhrHbR0
Shiho: “And I heard that you’ve gotten stronger; I’m curious.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ92jN50R6
Momo: “I-I don’t think I can beat six seconds either.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtoxwMD4SS
Izuku: “You don’t have to. Just… have fun.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUZDe4pTIe
Kiri: “Like Rocky.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwyoUkY3C4
Kirishima: “Yeah, it’s a good test of your current skill too.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFyOMZecjO
Momo: “I… alright! I won’t disappoint you all.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdoQoKAdiE
Momo vaulted the rail, landing down below.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sFh5d5qhG
"And here’s our last challenger for this evening! Are you ready?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIBbJtbN4D
Momo nodded, set her feet, and brought up One For All. Her veins glowed before she sparked with red lightning. She jerked her arm, and a polearm came out, which she held in a loose, ready position.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23XcWH3TtD
"GO!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSK58Oulpp
Momo exploded forward at her current maximum of 5%. Three steps had her already up to the first plateau, and her naginata sliced the bot cleanly in half.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjsfveBVdD
The force behind it was so great that the rock beneath it cracked as well. Her naginata glowed red as Momo utilized her Quirk, stabbing it into the ground and growing it rapidly to fling herself at the next bot.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhdir7y7zt
As the naginata was absorbed back into her body, her momentum propelled her into the next bot with a dropkick. Her feet planted into its chest and shot it backward into another villain, knocking both of them off the mountain.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X7k94oVR3
Momo quickly rolled back to her feet and soared into the sky. She created a bow, and this thing looked mean.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXYo0Xlz8A
The construction of this thing put every bow from history to shame and required some extreme strength to even draw the string. Then there was the arrow; it looked like it was made for hunting dragons.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrx3mX7pwN
Momo took aim at the bot in the water and loosed the arrow. It flew so fast a shockwave rippled around it. Without even bothering to watch her shot hit, Momo used the momentum from it to turn herself around and made a second arrow. This one looked futuristic and was covered in strange bumps.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMrMNHkE4F
She loosed the arrow, and it looked like she'd overshot. Instead, when it passed overhead of the cluster of remaining bots, the arrow detonated, flinging shrapnel around and shredding the final enemies.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pHrL22inY
All the while, Melissa had been marveling at Momo's performance.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhUppbNkPG
Melissa: 'Amazing. What destructive strength! But is it just me, or…'
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNiZ74Yday
"Another amazing performance! The time is 12 seconds, tying with one of our former first placers.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTlQLttj4G
Momo smiled, waving at the crowd as she leapt back up to the stands.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1BCJfmOQJ
Kiri: “Well done.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjbR0eNXDC
Izuku: “Way to go, Momo. You might not have gotten first place, but you looked the coolest.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId2Y14O9VE
Momo: “Thank you!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXhBERNLEV
Melissa waited after everyone who wanted to gave their congrats and left to do their own thing. Those remaining were Izuku, Kiri, Momo, Jiro, and herself.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtOxLdtafs
Melissa: “Excuse me, but I have a question.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGFzN0vbvr
Momo: “Yes?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfV6CvoVq0
Melissa: “What was the draw on that bow? It was quite big.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOW5bGy4dl
Momo: “Um… fifteen hundred kilograms.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ9YAZTCeC
She says with a slight blush.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtnyNFWKEX
Melissa: “Really! You must have a strength quirk as well.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1e6T4LMO1
Momo: “Well… no I-”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIklR5FZew
Jiro: “Yeah, I was wondering about that too, Momo. What was all that red lightning and sudden increase of strength?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb7qMIEwGn
Momo: “I-”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGriJ0aHHI
Izuku: “Just say your quirk evolved.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa76KTS1VP
Momo: “Are you sure that will work?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHUI81xUN6
Izuku: “It has to. Maybe Melissa can know, but not Jiro. I’m sorry.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhvZilHROv
The girl sighed and agreed to the telepathic plan.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRUefgxcU0
Momo: “M-My quirk evolved, and I’m a bit stronger. It’s a side effect of my increased ability to create things. It happened during the internship.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90qE5cV3ly
Jiro: “Oh, that makes sense. Congrats.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxihl3wdAkt
Melissa: “I see, I guess that works.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT6sqEX0VJ
Kiri: “Engine Project.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWcUltodRe
Melissa: “R-Right! I thought we would have run into my other partner by now. I guess we have to search a bit harder now.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLblth6jzLi
Izuku: “Thanks, Kiri.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnXduDSw0n
Kiri: “Nh.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk8OVqekz0
Momo: “I have no idea where that girl could-”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9sLOMlEoE
Mei: “There you all are! See, I told you I knew where they would be.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXinXa6pdX
Jiro: “Speak of the mechanical devil.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3uJzdqZa0
The group turned to Mei, who was walking toward them. But she wasn’t alone. There was a young boy with her, one with pure red hair and a soft smile.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWyWqoQGF7
For whatever reason, Izuku felt something off about him. Despite that, he doesn’t show his discomfort.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82jIWlG6ZF
Mei: “Let me show you someone who appreciates my babies almost as much as me, Soma Kageyama.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHE0VIZveJ
Izuku: “Wow, you remember his name?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHV0Y6QEnF
Soma ignored everyone else and went straight for Izuku. He offered his hand and smiled.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEQJiNAi46
Soma: “Nice to finally meet you, Izuku Midoriya.”
