And so time passed for the students suspended.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEi7dMHq5K
Unable to go to U.A, they mostly self-trained, studied, or relaxed. For Izuku specifically, he got more comfortable with his powers and his current romantic relationship.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5jjiI0YMN
It was peaceful, something the boy greatly appreciated. But eventually the time to return to school arrived, and with it the possibility of more conflicts.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsWt9qS9dw
But now?
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYVPp0twg3
Izuku is confident he can face them.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBbw71Tg7S
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnzRK9m1sR
Aizawa: “Welcome back, problem children.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01xB2OHF8q
The teacher said in front of the restored class. After catching up with each other, the class resumed as usual. Like they never left.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohPUnS2M8H
Aizawa: “Now that the class is back to normal, we need to help those behind catch up. Winter break is fast approaching, but I’m sure you all don’t want another break to waste away too. So we’ll be going to a Winter Break Forest Lodge.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdiQ3kAStJ
The whole class erupted in cheers. A forest lodge, even in winter, means hot baths, fireworks, and good food.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuTszzqwAX
Aizawa: “However, should any of you fall short of a passing grade for the end-of-year final exams, then you’re stuck in school, in remedial hell.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziEneylE2q
And that’s when the cheers slowly died down as the words sunk in.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6ISM7SruM
Denki: “I haven’t studied at aaaalll!! With the sport festival, workplace experience, training, and I-Island, I never stopped to properly study!!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUjoV4tTdV
Tokoyami: “Indeed.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaQX24YVO0
Mina: “Ah hahaha, me neither.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH4tKgp6rK
Says the 14/15, 10/15, and 13/15 students when it comes to grades. As for the bottom…
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRYs8kWKzr
Kiri: “Ugh.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnrhgZGvwO
15/15.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOAHLo4cwV
Yeah, the break, inner crises, and relationship drama didn’t really allow for the poor girl to catch up to her peers. That, and she didn’t like studying.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSfMEdDX7W
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri, I’ll help you study.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnor8An93yO
8/15.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtgJqVnj9i
Denki: “How?! You were suspended!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIHF2QEurs
Izuku: “I studied when I could and asked Aizawa for the work I missed. I couldn’t do everything, but it helped.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaeOy162ZB
Ida: “Bravo, Midoriya! Bravo! I did the same!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyS3x3bXgE
5/15.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSIgfOoPv6
Denki: “Seriously!?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtjkEE1QsX
Mina: “You think that’s impressive? Look at Yaomomo.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ9r3dJVbE
Momo: “Haha.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxehMTovEYT
2/15.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYhbE2qTkU
Denki: “Missed days, and she still gets top scores. That’s insane.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBbEvNwb9n
Todoroki: “You were actually in class; you shouldn’t be getting failing grades.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0CuOhhptO
3/15.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16Q1H1KE2c
Denki: “Mind your words!!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJpGDyjQNu
He says while grabbing his chest from the emotional damage. Meanwhile, Izuku smiles at the boy’s antics while glancing at Ida’s new leg.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiXzyzmXo7
Izuku: ‘Good to see it’s holding up. Melissa probably gave it a checkup over the suspension, all while getting used to U.A. I’m glad Ida can enjoy school again.’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerIjgeGXtF
Thinking back on what caused this to happen, the boy’s eyes darken.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH7msl4MSP
Izuku: ‘I won’t let anything like that happen again. But to focus on that, I still need to take care of a couple of things.’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJDAQjMfVD
He turns to the current top scorer in the class, Bakugo. The explosive boy doesn’t turn to face Izuku, but he knows he’s being watched.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX08IuSfKL
Aizawa: “Enough.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9amkNVAT7w
Everyone stopped talking and returned back to front.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRxiydV5Hp
Aizawa: “If you don’t want to fall behind, you should take initiative like those suspended. If you have to, create a study group.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslJSI4MpkH
Momo: “Oh, we can do that at my house! I would love to help everyone with the technical side of the exams. Izuku and Kiri can help with the practicals.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFTKJ37a5g
Izuku: “Yeah, that sounds good.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcOFCvp32c
Kiri: “Nh.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1geZp54XN9
Jiro: “Really? Thanks, Momo.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClO6D8PlTg
Mina: “Yaomomo, you’re a lifesaver!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy5G1J5Mie
Kirishima: “Yeah, let’s do our best, everybody!! For the Forest Lodge!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIAry1Jtm4
Everyone: “For Forest Lodge!!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMoiLZqiyz
Aizawa: “Quiet.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8kspKjQ4p
…
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIGUfvOYHq

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VFABTFWgm
Aizawa: “You all still have normal classwork to deal with first. So let’s begin.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdK4TGOqlh
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLoqZb2Kfd
After the intense classwork the group had to do, it was time to relax at lunch. In addition to the usual suspects, another girl decided to sit and eat with them.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojKIjadvrJ
Melissa: “Hey, everyone.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCZzDZ9EQX
After everyone gave their own form of hello to the girl they met on their recent adventure, Izuku asked the first important question.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXEhRWfkIE
Izuku: “How are you liking U.A?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKufqyYLPPx
Melissa: “It’s amazing! Everyone is super nice, and their quirks are a wonder to see up close. Nothing really compares to you guys, but it’s the experience that counts.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvLZEkeaHr
Ida: “I’m happy to hear it. Thank you and Yaoyorozu again for everything you’ve done.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY9lnKFEOD
Melissa: “No, it’s fine. I’m happy to help.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCEyjnaNHZ
Momo: “I feel the same. I’m just glad you can be a hero again.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq8nLQCKZY
Denki: “Yeah! It’s great to see you back in action, man.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqpqFJh9CV
Kiri: “Nh.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOisuZohsaF
Ida: “You’re all too kind, thank you.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFltRzoJUlJ
Melissa: “I’m glad to see our Engine Project is working so well. But I hope we did enough for your upcoming exams.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG4GPD6V0c
Ida: “I’m confident you did.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGQHLJRU1h
Izuku: “But it is worrying that we can’t know what will be on the practical test exercise.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9bR7hp0Jf
Ida: “Nothing too wild, I would think.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiLkY6AHk3
Deciding to join the growing conversation, Uraraka and some of the other girls nearby chipped in.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuASRew0Wh
Uraraka: “We can still pull it off, the normal subject test, that is. Especially with Yaoyorozu helping.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xTjkUo7Ck
Mina: “Yeah! Yaomomo, you got this.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCBsF1ZENu
Momo: “You know I’m not taking the test for you, right?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxZlFo05KJ
Kirishima: “But what will the normal subject test be about?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDKv4k0BMS
Tsuyu: “Aizawa said it will be an overall summary of what we did this semester. But he didn’t tell us anything apart from that. Kero.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtTkuah3eE
Uraraka: “He gave us the battle trials and rescue. The rest was almost all basic training.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pdt5hPuRG
Denki: “So basically, we just study everything and train until we-”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1tsPsfENG
Denki: “Oww!!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqLSJdqv2b
It was then that Denki’s head was hit by someone’s elbow. The group turns to see one of the class B kids behind Denki.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJjZetuVAS
Denki: “What’s the big deal!?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFWDwkWQqF
Jiro: “Yeah, you… what’s your name again?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBEvsEiSuB
Mina: “Moron something?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxxAD35hS3
Neito: “It’s Neito Monoma you-!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE20ONHWSu
Taking a breath, the boy reclaimed his cool and answered the first question.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVsTvBn8kr
Neito: “My bad, your head was so big that I ended up hitting it by accident.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQykUmVrHqY
Denki: “Tch, sure you did.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OhY8P09xh
Neito: “Hey, I heard some of you fought the Hero Killer.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5qzIP1HxI
The class table suddenly got colder as their eyes narrowed at the soon-to-be corpse if he didn’t keep his mouth shut. But run his mouth he did.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7PS67KIQ0
Neito: “The ways in which you’ve been basking in the spotlight have only multiplied ever since the school festival, haven’t they, Class A? Only the attention you’re grabbing isn’t out of exceptional skill, but instead the attention you’re grabbing is in the form of trouble!!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YQozAhhrU
Under the slightly floating table, fists are being clenched. One more slight, and hands might be thrown. Yet still, the man keeps going.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvDbvcVekQ
Neito: “Man, it’s so scary! One day, we might get wrapped up in the trouble you lot call out of the woodwork, and then we’ll get hurt! So scary, I-PWAH!!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWp1BXA04a
Luckily for him, he was saved by a sharp chop to the back of the head.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71uys7ptTc
Kendo: “That’s not funny. Don’t you know what happened to Ida?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X1HLsDz0w
Kirishima: “Yeah… he was going too far.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXqVoZFClp
Kiri: “Nh.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HcATEmtkV
Kendo: “Sorry about him. This kid’s heart is… well… you know how it goes.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3NL6Z4TRk
Mina: “I think it’s his head, not his heart.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19ewXgyIbB
Izuku: “Either way, it’s no excuse.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPgcTgaoYg
Kendo: “I know. Almost makes me wish I let Akashi do this instead. But I was sure she would have put him in the hospital.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1DYM7lNzH
Kiri: “Well deserved.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTiDIhYcR4
Kendo: “Anyway, let me make it up to you. I heard you say that you couldn’t know what the final exam exercise would be. Well, I’m told it’ll be like the entrance exam. That is, a battle simulation exercise fighting against robots.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEjKepFd2w
Izuku: “Really? How do you know?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0MidaMQoR
Kendo: “I know an upperclassman personally and asked. I know that’s kind of cheating but-”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpT82UCjHL
Izuku: “No, it’s not cheating. It makes perfect sense that the acquisition of prior knowledge would be integrated into the exam structure itself. After all, information gathering is important work.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkTDvn1e3T
Izuku: ‘I should have thought of that. Or read someone’s mind. But that actually would be cheating… I think.’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQx50eWYBb
Kendo: “Well, when you put it that way, I don’t feel as bad.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWogkFFqy5s
Neito: “Kendo, why? You just threw away our advantage! This was our chance to-”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EalHU5Yvl
Kendo: “Quiet. Or I’m telling Sabrina.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyRtY1upv4
Neito: “… I’ll be quiet.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ513hwVb6wB
Kendo: “Good. Later, Class A, sorry again.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ckk6aRBuI
With that, the girl carried the fool back to their side of the cafeteria.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoq6uU8s85
Denki: “You know, she’s kind of like the big sister of Class B, don’t you think?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq1NhLhMt0
Jiro: “If she’s the big sister, then Sabrina must be the mother.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuDbPB4Zao
He might be gone, but his words still linger among the group.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM4NNsL8wW
Melissa: “Ida, are you alright?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4Q7m5B5gW
Ida: “I’m fine; I won’t let what happened hold me back like that. After all, they’re just words.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1AgFyiYOA
Melissa: “That’s very mature of you. Still, I guess not everyone here is nice, huh?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILhvRQPMYQ
Izuku: “Yeah… they’re not.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG67kxEI6ix
Again, the boy looks at Bakugo, who was the only one to sit apart from the rest of the class. Even Todoroki and Tokoyami sat with them, even if they didn’t say much.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqJxU28eqL
Uraraka did try to get him to join, but he shooed her away. So right now, Bakugo is isolated and alone with his thoughts. But those thoughts aren’t his alone. Izuku was tired of waiting.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLFyut1aLx
Izuku: “Bakugo.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye0cKUpPHV
The boy stilled; sweat dripped from his forehead as the fight-or-flight instinct kicked in.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk17VxHRkVC
Izuku: “Don’t react. Just listen. Today is the day. Tell Uraraka, or I will. Tonight, we settle things at the park where I first fought you when we were kids. Nod if you understand.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB3FLGflBx
Unbeknownst to all, he gave a slight nod.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5QHkxdq6i
Izuku: “Good.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkGilFTm5x
Back at the table, Denki tries to get everyone back on a more lighthearted track
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4aM8itieK
Denki: “Forget that guy, we should be focusing on what Kendo said. If the practical exam is just robots, it will be a walk in the park!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnPnJOPUYI
Mina: “Yep! No holding back! Easy as pie!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjOs2n4Xn7
Tsuyu: “Will it really be as easy as the entrance exam?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBr81nr49v
Uraraka: “Yeah, they could throw an army at us.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpjHfQTMKC
Jiro: “I doubt they have the budget for that.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGGzhOkEGE
Denki: “Right? So we’re shoe-ins for the frost lodge!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqemYP52gPL
Seeing that the conversation was returned to something more jovial, Izuku returned his focus to eating. There’s something far more important than exams on his mind right now.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbMBgwY6oz
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5N983MMhk
Soon the day ended, signaling the last chance for Bakugo to tell Uraraka.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvhhPI7hXB
Izuku: ‘He’ll probably tell her while walking out of school.’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbqHMArj75
With that in mind, Izuku turned to the two girls walking with him and made a choice.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA3pFajTz0
Izuku: “Momo, Kiri, I need to stay behind.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvnl9SyubD
Momo: “What’s wrong?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWfo9ekRqV
Kiri: “… Bomb Boy?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy83aDZkKtT
Izuku: “Yeah.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPyOkFmeAe
He proceeds to explain his plans and the conversation he had with his former bully.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvb3QbZ6Sr
Momo: “I’m glad you didn’t do anything like that, Izuku.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa7bc3OHFp
Kiri: “… I guess.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHJcjlGtYV
Momo: “Kiri! He can’t kill Bakugo; he’s trying to be a hero.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBMJXZXYEu
The girl sighs before explaining herself.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmft2jzNgyl
Kiri: “I know, but… I hate him. For years, I felt what Onii felt, the negativity that nearly caused him to… ”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx914t5Heq8
Kiri held her arms as those particularly bad days floated to the surface of her mind.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOFZNb23zP
Izuku: “I… don’t know if I would have survived without Kiri eating the worst of my negative emotions.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLUajvnB53
Momo: “I’m sorry you two had to go through that.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCwaMsWFga
Like a mother with her children, Momo hugs them both.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYNdpnpYCb
Izuku: “Thank you, Momo.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiiqxfoI02
Kiri: “Nh.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSNfCbF9dS
Momo: “Always. But still, don’t let what he did to you change who you are. You are not a killer.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka0d14GpYP
Kiri: “Agreed. Hero.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T2e0nFc7I
Izuku: “… You’re right. Thank you.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt1oplszoV
With that, he said his last goodbyes. Kiri won’t wait for him and will instead inform Inko that Izuku will be late due to handling his past trauma. Yes, his mother should know what is happening. His sisters too, when they are ready to talk.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR37XVvhDQJ
Waving his girls goodbye, Izuku narrowed his eyes and faded into the dark shadows cast by the dying sun. It is here where he sees Bakugo calling out to Uraraka.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ852nyUhClh
Bakugo: “Round Face! I need to talk to you.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqBtWU9jzG
The poor girl nearly jumped out of her skin when called. But it was just surprise; she quickly recomposed herself and went to Bakugo.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBLHJY2Lyd
Bakugo: “…. Follow me.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPm23GTHf8
Uraraka: “Um… okay.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxjCNylqo6
Izuku can see the blush forming on Uraraka’s face and instantly knows the feelings are mutual.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWeuUNga6y
Izuku: ‘All the more reason.’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv67kaTXYoH
Uraraka followed Bakugo to the back of the school, a relatively private area. This only made her blush deepen further. This was the perfect place for a confession.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mIWMroLiR
But it won’t be one she’s thinking of.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdfzMCYpUX
When they reached their destination, Uraraka fidgeted with her fingers before asking the question.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBEOJayJlk
Uraraka: “S-So, Bakugo, what did you want to talk about?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYwkOFlrmN
Her voice was soft, like an angel’s, and somehow had an edge of seduction to it. She didn’t know how this little encounter would end, but she was prepared and eager for nearly anything Bakugo asked of her.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqTUBwwNBW
Bakugo: “Listen… I…”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gq6egM34w
He gritted his teeth as oxygen became harder to intake. Izuku was still nearby, able to sense them both and their surface thoughts.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTwkvKtptS
Bakugo: ‘Why is she looking at me like that?! She looks… cute… do I really… damn it! I don’t want to do thi-!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3h31JmGjA
Izuku: “But you will. You will tell her everything you did to me.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCIcpFpPsV
Bakugo stilled in horror. Yes, Izuku was still around. He couldn’t escape this.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud6haNdDHJ
Uraraka: “Bakugo, are you okay?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOzn6RthaR
She goes to touch his arm. Bold, but considering the circumstances, she thought it appropriate.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkigx7xnVJB
But not Bakugo, he backed away and showed a fear Uraraka never thought she’d see on his face.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttmrcXGQu2
Uraraka: “Bakugo?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8c3eSl2t6
Bakugo: “Round face… I… Damn it!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKHRNDddaw
There it was, and Izuku couldn’t help but smile. Bakugo let it all out, everything he did to him. It was a mess of emotions laced with the occasional excuse, insult, or deflection.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS60Au2kFaY
The frustration with the situation, coupled with the desire to not lose this connection, caused Bakugo to try and lessen his actions.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0OtnxGrzz
But he couldn’t; Uraraka wasn’t dumb. So over the course of those scream-filled minutes, her face became increasingly pale.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3K54KITKy
The rough but, deep down, well-meaning boy she was slowly falling for was gone. The respect she held for him shattered.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrKB512g0S
Who she thought Bakugo was, wasn’t real. No, this boy was someone who bullied her friend to near suicide. This boy betrayed someone he used to consider a friend just because he was quirkless.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zKRZdLMuQ
That was if she bullied Ida for losing his legs and becoming essentially quirkless. She could never.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lQuNxuxKf
The fact Izuku came out as good as he did is a miracle. That miracle has a name, but she doesn’t know it, so Bakugo seemed even worse.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x3IXQpiQX
In the end, she stood stunned while Bakugo breathed like he just ran a marathon. He looked to the girl he was developing feelings for and asked-
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ8NMgeFmy
Bakugo: “Well!?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS60kVhs8Ai
A moment later, his cheek was stung by the slap of a heartbroken woman. His eyes widen as he slowly turns back to a tearful Uraraka.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcyTscIBX8
Uraraka: “B-Bakugo… I-I don’t know why you told me this. A small part of me wants to believe you did so to show how serious you are about me. No secrets between us, you know. But this? I… I can’t… ”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu6MmtMC3Z
Bakugo: “But-”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgszazd4IDq
Uraraka: “We’re trying to be heroes!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuDEovytcS
Bakugo: “I will be a hero!! The number 1 hero! I’ll surpass All Might!”

Uraraka: “You don’t deserve that! What kind of hero bullies someone to suicide? What kind of hero betrays their best friend?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWW3BZHNlM
Bakugo: “Deku isn’t my friend!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHJlNf0oks
Uraraka: “… I guess he isn’t. But he is mine. More than that, I can’t be with someone who shows no remorse for what he’s done.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eSJprYS59
Bakugo: “So that’s it!? You’ll just leave because of fucking Deku! Do you like him or something!? What? You want to be a part of his harem too!?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19a4Kqmen7
Uraraka only cries harder from his cutting remarks. Unable to take much more of this emotional turmoil, she turns around.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IB87CZHvl
Uraraka: “G-Goodbye, B-Bakugo.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJbJjPYiIS
With that, she walked away. It was then that Bakugo fully realized what he had done. Who was walking from him.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4AJg5JoxS
Bakugo: “Round face, get back here!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqpk3fW6qz
She continues.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgTWIUOiGh
Bakugo: “Damn it! Stop, wait!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82oRuEN5e6
She’s almost around the corner.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYqu1arLEu
Bakugo: “Uraraka!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX3zmcySD7
She was gone.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRnrBOJDvF
His head drops as he realizes that he only made things worse with his last words to her. But he was so angry! He couldn’t control what came out of his mouth.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNeik8hBK8
But that anger has long faded; only emptiness remains.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4jCdceHNU
Bakugo: “I-I’m… sorry.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQJqKnx0Dn
Izuku: “She’s not the one you should be begging for forgiveness.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhx83zozWy
Bakugo: “DEKU!! THIS IS ALL YOUR-”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ8ezGJzU3
Turning around, he saw a truly horrifying sight. The once golden glow of the sun seemed to choke and die as Izuku walked toward him, turning into a sickly black and green.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27fQL0dCT4
Bakugo: ‘Is this… real?’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKC4r9OoPr
He was stunned with fear, unable to move as Izuku approached him with a cruel smile. The prince patted Bakugo’s red cheek as his final words of the evening echoed in his mind.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOsi6Iue5k
Izuku: “Good job, Bakugo. All that is left is our fight; don’t be late.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELw7ryBggt
And just like that, Izuku was gone, and the light returned to the world. But not to Bakugo’s mind and soul.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3DIStWLIe
He looks to the sky and knows, deep down, this will only get worse.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcc9DupWcI

Izuku reappeared in some alleyway and covered his mouth. It felt sooooo good to see that. A maddening laughter escaped his hands as his eyes rapidly flashed several dozen colors.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVTD1580zE
Clearly, the beings in his mind also enjoyed the show. They wanted to do more, so much more to him. Izuku was tempted to let them.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrU03OoGOl
But he won’t.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoEgMZrONZ
Reaffirming control over himself and the legion within, Izuku leaned against the nearby wall.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYXJRsbgn0
Izuku: “N-No, I’m a hero. I won’t kill or torture him… much. And this is my fight. No one will interfere, understand?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoudFEQAty
The legion obeys the prince, retreating into the shadows of the depths.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq1eb5wqrQ
Izuku: “Still, you can still enjoy the show. I won’t lie, I like getting back at Bakugo. And I’ll enjoy it even more tonight.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjwzyCPtpi
Izuku: ‘I can’t wait.’
