And so, the final exams were finished. The Big Three went back to their own studies, while those who needed bed rest/repairs got it.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9B6iquhU7
When all was said and done, Class 1-A was back together the next day. But as expected, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. The first group did fail after all, and their current distressed faces said it all.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfNlzlGlxd
Mina: “Oh my god… you… you guys… I’m so looking forward to… to all your stories… oh god… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVhvOUhNBU
Izuku: “Don’t give up! You don’t know; there could be some unexpected twist! Maybe Aizawa was tricking us again.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvHxeK7tZY
Kiri: “Nh. Rocky has to come.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmqOGQN5VQ
Sero: “I don’t know; if you say that, you’ll jink it… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSIJeQo1vq
Just then, the front door opens to reveal Aizawa.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32VaLLQops
Aizawa: “When the bell rings, then you take your seats.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTonaR2oWb
They quickly do so as the teacher goes to the front to deliver his judgment.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTEp0jDftY
Aizawa: “Morning, now about your final exams. I hate to say that three of you have failed. And as such… everybody’s going to the forest lodge!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbOD0q0VLV
Kirishima, Mina, & Sero: “WHAT A TWIST!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1vf4DYbTr
Izuku: ‘I knew it!’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NKmnDI3l3
Aizawa: “There were zero failing grades for the written exam. For practical, Sero, Kirishima, and Ashido failed.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW1mGpRF09
Kirishima: “But we can still go, sensei!!?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHe0F7JquF
Sero: “It’s true; looking back, he never said clearing the practical meant a sure passing grade… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N6dLDdAAY
Aizawa: “For the exam, we ‘villains’ left you a way to win while gauging how you faced the challenges we set for each of you. If we hadn’t, then you’d all have run into a dead end before the challenges even really began. So it’s all done to drive you into a corner. The Forest Lodge was a boot camp to begin with. So the students who failed need it the most. It was a logical ruse!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuHMUtx5yG
Everyone: “A logical ruse!?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebfoOhc2S8
Ida: “No again! But that is U.A for you.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSITeUyXe2o
As those who failed celebrated, Ida got out of his seat with his hand raised.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjsONO3bqg
Ida: “All the same! If you keep piling up ‘ruses’, then our trust in you will begin to waver, will it not!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPNbc5J7Wt
Uraraka: “And Ida with the wet blanket.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ1kNTgHPY
Aizawa: “You’re not wrong. I’ll reflect. But it’s not as though it was all a pack of lies.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BmEzS0tUG
It was then that those celebrating stilled.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWBapMcTxL
Aizawa: “Failing grades are failing grades. So you three have earned yourselves special remedial periods. And to put it bluntly, they’ll be harder than they would have been had you stayed on campus. Now I’m going to hand out the lodge guides, so pass them back.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekI9T6SCsU
After normal classwork, the group was able to properly look through the guides.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3ptAdDYi7
Ida: “A one-week boot camp, eh?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r6RUJwt5z
Izuku: “Looks like we’ll be needing pretty big bags for all the stuff we need to take.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUqBQnVseU
Denki: “I don’t have a bathing suit or the other stuff on here. Man, I need to buy loads.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN8IML8ZOp
Mina: “Hey, I have an idea! Since tomorrow is free and exams are done, let’s all go shopping! Class 1-A shopping trip!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLND8t26Om
Denki: “That’s a great idea!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNv62h6fM3
Kiri: “Nh. Fun.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0sJAvtiu0
Momo: “And when it comes to the mandatory supplies, I don’t mind helping anyone pay if it’s too much.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz08saioMcg
Mina: “Really!? You’re willing to be our sugar mommy, Yaomomo?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD65XEW7Om
Momo: “S-S-Sugar m-mommy!? N-No I-”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF8z6LD4wO
Kiri: “Heh.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkyF42WJEm
Momo: “Hush you, I know you don’t know what that word means.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9HtOjEsAf
Kiri: “Reaction still funny.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5RNJZi28A
As Izuku laughs at the jovial banter, he turns to Todoroki, who seems to be getting ready to leave. Wanting to befriend him and to further build the class’s connection, he walks over.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb5oEcZaQO
Izuku: “Todoroki, do you want to come?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBCQZm0YeE
Todoroki: “Sorry, I visit the hospital on free days.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07vtAXeJyF
Izuku: “Oh. I understand.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gq1Xn7FqZ
Able to guess who he’s visiting, the boy leaves it at that. Todoroki deserves that time with his mother.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7KAJ0Vk0C
Turning back around, it would seem everyone wants to go shopping. All except Bakugo.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigowGC5jqk
Izuku: ‘Should I… invite him? No, we worked together; it doesn’t mean we’re friends. Just… colleagues after the same goal.’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWO70easGY
The boy left the choice up to the only person who seems to-
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVA63d4d5v
Kirishima: “Yo, Bakugo, you want to come too?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgIil6nVeM
Izuku: ‘… I guess there are two… ’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1P3GOjeUo
He watches Bakugo about to refuse before locking eyes with Uraraka.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOVufhufi2
Bakugo: “Tch, fine!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dY8sIfiSY
Kirishima: “Awesome, that’s almost the whole class! I was sure you would say no, though.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBCR70W5TX
Bakugo: “We’re just going to the same place.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmPh01DGyZ
Kiri: “Onii… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxicrId7Aes
Izuku glances at Kiri, who is narrowing her eyes at Kirishima.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoobrFE9Ka
Kiri: “Rocky wouldn’t be friendly with Bomb Boy if he knew. Tell him.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi4xEywaEA
A part of him wants it, to tear apart another bond Bakugo is forming. But a larger part just wants to move on.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgfTAqaDI4
Izuku: “It’s fine, Kiri. Bakugo has suffered enough. Besides-”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTu8ApXVVy
Kiri: “No, he hasn’t. You didn’t even break a bone. After what he has done, he-”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJs3KHu0Hw
Izuku: “Enough.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhFuwmojKL
The girl’s eyes widen, and she shrinks in on herself from the stern tone.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPAlUs56Cw
Izuku: “I haven’t forgiven Bakugo fully if that’s what you’re thinking. I’m just… tired of it all. I also think Bakugo will tell Kirishima if they get close enough as friends. I won’t put a time limit on it unless Bakugo starts acting… like before. If he does, you can deal with it.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDURbWhR9H
Kiri: “… Good.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwggEbDhzz
Momo: “Kiri, you’re talking telepathically, aren’t you?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESgsfWGdek
Noticing the fact that Izuku and Kiri were eerily quiet, Momo called out to her partner in this relationship.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpns6F6sB5b
Kiri: “S-Sorry, don’t worry. Just…”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHsqiUvGAF
She looks to Bakugo, and Momo manages to catch her line of sight.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAigk65Ptpv
Momo: “I see… we’ll talk later?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ61XEheLT
Kiri: “Nh.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclJasevcVT
The day ended quickly after; Kiri did decide to walk home with Momo instead. Probably to discuss what Izuku and Kiri talked about.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UykRMMPwF
Izuku: ‘I hope they won’t team up on me about this. I’m not budging.’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqybf3FtrS
While sending them off with a wave, Izuku refocuses on another important matter. He turns around to see the person he telepathically called out to.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMFhhH8Xqw
Izuku: “Shinso.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXDSM8eSwW
Shinso: “Midoriya, long time no see. You feel… different, again.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D8EZydK2S
Izuku: “You too. Did the training from Aizawa help?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAqypiYdSI
Shinso: “Yes, thank you for that. I… really think I’m improving as a hero.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWbJG6mDbl
Izuku: “That’s good.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0d77P5OyD
Now with a relaxed flow between them, the two are able to walk and talk.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcdrJXwifX
Shinso: “You didn’t explain why you feel different.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOCYdDWAmx
Izuku: “I just accept the rest of my quirk, including the part that turned you.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb1NvkwYyE
The boy stiffens as that horrendous memory tries to resurface.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYSnDGXCs7
Shinso: “And what does that mean for me?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqOxUhyLY7
Izuku: “It means that I accept you as my Apostle.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGucZ3Qmb8
Just saying the word seems to darken the world around them, like the sun itself fears the implications.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcl2b61WCz
Shinso: “W-What does that mean?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VzCgEX4rQ
Izuku: “Think of it like… my generals. The real meaning is too complicated to explain.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEoidtRZyd
Shinso: “Huh? Are we going to war or something?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3qPBZvX51
Izuku: “… Maybe. Sometimes it feels that way with villains.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuSKMpyLZi
Shinso: “I guess… even I heard about what happened in Hosu. Not to mention the recent blackout.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7eJBiXzy2
Izuku: “Yeah, I’m sure a villain was behind that. That’s why we can’t reject ourselves; we must become stronger to protect what we hold dear.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8nIli88lj
Shinso: “… Agreed.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbITiMklYB
Izuku: “And that’s why we’re going shopping tomorrow.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo9bA36Rzw
The purple-haired boy stopped in his tracks while Izuku kept moving. Took a moment to realize his apostle stopped.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqd6efAbgN
Izuku: “What’s wrong?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5E1AH6DVO
Shinso: “Just processing whiplash. What do you mean, shopping?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiB5tiwChf
Izuku: “You don’t have to buy anything; Class 1-A is buying supplies for the Forest Lodge trip.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgs7dmMq04
Shinso: “Then why am I coming?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxCKjr4D2x
Izuku: “To possibly welcome the second apostle, if he agrees to it.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1z7L8QOTl
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8YjiUNtVY
The next day came, and nearly the whole class was standing side by side in the bustling mall.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4BSwkIizp
Mina: “And so we’ve arrived! It’s the mall that boasts the most shops in the preference, on the leading edge of today’s youth! It’s the Kiyashi Ward shopping mall!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29T3lypGEM
“Got 6 arms? We’ve got you covered! And you, with the giant calves! We have unique apparel just for you!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDllGiS22j
Izuku: “Wow, they don’t just cover everybody’s individual quirk-related needs through sheer inventory size. They can also attract customers through their extensive collection of designs made to fit any and all demographics from teens to seniors and-”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlicUs2IPJW
And there he goes mumbling his thoughts, a habit he can’t seem to outgrow. But at least some people find it-
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUqF5kovnD
Kiri & Momo: “Cute~.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQebc9OjWKf
Tokoyami: “But it may frighten children.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShV4epVxxq
As proven by how some nearby kids looked at him with either concern or light fear. Like there was something wrong with him, talking low and fast like that.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT0gI4rDac
Izuku: “Oh? S-Sorry.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrlTIGuFJj
“Yo, dude, check it out! Aren’t those U.A kids!? The freshman!!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GPd1pG8yN
“Wooooo, sports festival!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtolWX9oOkj
The group turns towards a crowd cheering them or gossiping.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWiVyIiIBF
Uraraka: “Wow, there are people who still remember us?!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm4iLdhBvW
Bakugo: “Tch, this is why I didn’t want to come.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4otmzaGlq
Kirishima: “You’re here now, man. Might as well enjoy it.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm96s6XMVe
Momo: “But we should get started; we have a lot to get.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yFfMbGG0g
Jiro: “Yeah, like I need to get a large carrying bag.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLvqkgkvXr
Momo: “Oh, in that case, why don’t we look for one together? As for everyone else, stick with at least one partner. Single gender only unless you’re dating. That means no sneaking off with Izuku, Kiri.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSXVA60fPb
She says while grabbing the back of Kiri’s shirt before she can run off.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEcE4et9V6
Kiri: “Aw.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5duWXqrFt
Ida: “We should also determine when we should regroup.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn10tprNjF4
Izuku: “One hour should be enough time.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3d7lFzO5q
Momo: “Agreed.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzgKMTlzOl
With the plan set, the groups were made and went their own way. Izuku made sure to partner with Tokoyami, much to the boy’s surprise.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uTwyIkL3x
Tokoyami: “Why me? And why alone?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy7dn9Ydun
Izuku: “Tokoyami, I-I have a… proposal.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhkC3mqmOs
Tokoyami: “… Alright.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdw9tAfLjq
Izuku: ‘I hope I don’t come off as some kind of freak for this.’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB4VZBBeL0
Calling out to his apostle telepathically, Izuku followed Tokoyami to one of the stories he liked to frequent. Fortunately, it was a store with low light, perfect for this conversation.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdqdrQ9lKr
Shinso kept back as Izuku found a moment to speak while Tokoyami looked through various supplies.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZtAiEdsjx
Izuku: “D-Do you… remember what happened to Shinso during the tournament?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcetrUbtSZp
Tokoyami: “… Yes. We all believed you did something, but Bakugo suggested it was simply because Shinso was scared of you.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfSGNdd1zL
Izuku: ‘Bakugo… defended… why?’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHQuOw8VoQ
Placing that in the vault, Izuku refocused on Tokoyami’s next words.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwZNuSi6EX
Tokoyami: “But that’s not the truth, is it, Midoriya?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXJMz7lEwk
Izuku: “No, I did do something to him. It was an accident, but I am at fault. However, it… turned out to be something good.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o1wyvpQRF
Tokoyami: “What do you mean?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9saB73CEE
Izuku: “W-Well… a part of my quirk… e-enables me to… let’s say… evolve certain people’s abilities.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP30Oq1kfj
It was then that Tokoyami put two and two together.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNIsulLjus
Tokoyami: “And I’m one of those you can help evolve?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCVbfX9dee
Izuku: “Yes. I even asked Shinso to join us so he can explain.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl2pqOrgZv
Izuku: ‘Come out.’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hseAAQIKw
Shinso came out of his hiding spot and stood next to Tokoyami. It was unintentional, but they did end up boxing him in. Izuku to the left and Shinso to the right. The boy didn’t let it get to him; he trusts Midoriya enough to know he isn’t trying anything nefarious.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP6vo0s43t
Shinso: “So he’s the other apostle?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldupFnqm53
Tokoyami: “Apostle?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NRvoNWcFq
Izuku: “Just what I feel to call those that this part of my quirk affects.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cjWJzynm0
Tokoyami: “Midoriya, your quirk is… strange.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANOIBsXwBB
Izuku: “You have no idea.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD4gOHw3ts
Tokoyami: “… What are the details of this… evolution?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfJ8hQ5deS
Shinso: “Well, I don’t know how you will change, but it will mostly improve your quirk in some way. And it will do massively. For example, do you see anything strange about me?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcoOHUJggI
The boy turned to Shinso and looked over his tall, well-built, and muscular body.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8RP7c0WTY
Tokoyami: “No.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC7JKOIz4v
Shinso: “What if I said the evolution enabled my quirk to create a psychic field to make everyone think what I look like is normal?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKs5d2loOr
Tokoyami took a moment before figuring it out, the result of which was eyes widening.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnGynkBBjk
Tokoyami: “You didn’t always look like this?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhFzrrjhht
Shinso: “No, I was smaller and less impressive to look at.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN3KuUFAjs
Tokoyami: “I see… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNQovzxaZJ
Izuku: “I can do something similar for you; my quirk… wants to do so.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmlXSLMso9
Tokoyami: “… What is the catch?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcVeMnKuFw
Izuku: “Oh… right… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttaDB1uGgr
Shinso: “It’s painful and horrific. The… things you’ll see… they’re… indescribable.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfYnwiwrbg
Izuku: “B-But The Eighth said it could be less painful so… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJNk88vb8m
Tokoyami: “The Eighth? Is that the part of your quirk that will evolve me?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pj14JGRiH
Izuku: “Y-Yes.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLL0uHL2zO
Tokoyami sighed and went back to looking through the supplies in front of him. He did so on autopilot though.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLqslYv9Ft
Tokoyami: ‘I know Tae is also a part of Midoriya’s quirk. Is The Eighth something similar, a mental construct? But… for some reason it feels like it’s more than just that.’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvr2rYZ9U5
Tokoyami: “How would this affect Dark Shadow?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunerefLF46
Izuku: “I’m sure it won’t affect who he is. He’ll become more powerful though, just like you will. All you have to do is say yes, and you can become so much… more.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0app9zjFF4
Tokoyami: “Why does it feel like I’m about to make a Faustian deal?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwHU5SRmz3
Shinso: “You are.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIgL9x1ujo
Izuku: “S-Shinso!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaErRpk5Ozv
Shinso: “Just being truthful. The upfront costs are steep, but the rewards are… I guess I can say it has been worth it. I doubt I could have become a hero without it. I do wish I had a choice like you, though.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMekynYYIL
Tokoyami: “Why didn’t you?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd4XNlItNJ
Shinso: “My main quirk is brainwashing, a psychic-type quirk. When I tried using it on Midoriya, my mind entered his, and… the rest is history.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvx3kpPLFc
Tokoyami: “… I understand. Is it alright for me to think about it? I should discuss this with Dark Shadow.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFcKg9Mp0W
Izuku: “O-Of course. I’m just glad you didn’t reject it right away.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwZOOWshYV
Shinso: “I’m for one surprised.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8UEVNXnGy
Izuku: “So… do you still want to buy those Forest Lodge supplies together?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVv8KmafRN
Tokoyami: “I’m not frightened by you, Midoriya. You can stay.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiMkf6Lcte
The boy released a breath he didn’t know he was carrying. The last thing he wants is to drive his friends away because of his quirk.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxKLz3rr8t
Izuku: “T-Thank you! You can stay too, Shinso.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwnxfuL9Xf
Shinso: “No thanks, I have nothing to buy. Besides, I should get back to training my abilities.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVchUfPBrRz
And with that, Izuku’s first apostle left the store and returned home. This left Izuku and Tokoyami in a comfortable silence.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfXtG5ySSi
Now that they have discussed the serious topic, they can relax with some simple shopping.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08O8Fjm04v
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLB0aXpwC7
Jiro: “You really are like a doll, Tae.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA2sMIjXvq
Momo: “I have to admit, she is fun to dress up.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaCMpZzRMo
Kiri: “Mmmmm… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS1nPZa3tB
Meanwhile, this trio of girls was helping Kiri pick out new cute outfits. Right now, Momo and Jiro are sitting together on a large cushioned chair while Kiri tries out several outfits.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVBFBRT8g5
Kiri: “Forest Lodge. Not beach.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOrnCJALAJ
Momo: “We’re shopping in advance. Besides, we got everything we need for the trip.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscTIAqucjs
Jiro: “It went by quicker than I thought.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc7lPWZoEi
Momo: “I did have most of what we needed already. Buying extras wasn’t much of a hassle.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxih1JMSfQ
Jiro: “You even had some money left over to buy some things for Ashido and Kaminari. You really are a sugar mommy.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvPJbUxcOq
Momo: “Please, Kyoka, not you too. I just want to help out my friends.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJuy7oke7D
Jiro: “Haha, I’m just messing with you, Momo. There’s nothing wrong with flashing your wealth around for some friends. Speaking of, time to try the next expensive outfit.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yI7YKOiGK
Kiri: “Last one?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKah3JJSYC
Momo: “Yes, last one.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl7ZN55nYb
Kiri: “Nh.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCp13LO1ME
Kiri went back into the changing booth and got to work figuring out how to wear the thing. While they waited, Jiro leaned back and smiled.

It was time to ask a spicy question and then report the results to Mina.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEelcnh7Vy6
Jiro: “So… how far did you two go with Midoriya?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62TyxGqYsF
Momo: “K-Kyoka!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNY1VlAfCu
Jiro: “What? I’m curious. I never expected you to be in a throuple. Not so innocent anymore, huh?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBcpghRsSE
Momo: “I… you’re right. I never thought this would be how my love life would go, but… I’m happy. Izu is sweet and Kiri is… not as bad as I thought.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h28mM7qyg
Jiro: “Happy to hear, but you didn’t answer my question. Spill.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnBixitN5U
Momo: “We… I… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCbeG6JprE
The girl looked away while touching her lips and swallowing when the memories rushed back.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8ipjrWnFL
Momo: “Far… not all the way… but far.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAK9OtK5Gz
Jiro whistles at the confession.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEXXCFocG3
Jiro: “Vague, but I think I have an idea. And Tae was there?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYJTveeuNi
Momo: “She… helped, yes.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSHfOpXKJK
Jiro: “Wow, Midoriya is a lucky guy.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrqgJ1QO5C
Momo: “Well, I would say I’m lucky too. Izu is great with his ton-… never mind.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH28GCkZ1RI
Jiro: “Nope, too late! Our Midoriya really is full of surprises. When I first met him, I didn’t think he would do something like that. At least not without blushing like mad.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnco5RrUDF
Momo: “There was a lot of blushing, but we got over it. But enough about my love life! How about you, Kyoka?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqxCJv2BNA
Not expecting the sudden reversal, Jiro backed up a bit.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWZkli7y2r
Jiro: “M-Me!? There’s nothing going on.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFqPaH8f1b
Momo: “No, no. You don’t get to chicken out now. I see how you look at Kaminari.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcambkJsYz
Jiro: “I-I don’t! W-We’re just friends, that’s all.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqiQzafJ7a
The twirling of the earjacks says otherwise.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI62cnHHJ3z
Momo: “Riiight. Well, just know, I’m rooting for you. You deserve happiness like this as well.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH1qcjbO5d
Jiro: “T-Thanks, Momo.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPpDZpCola
Kiri: “Tight.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2fQ8Ix79D
The two girls look back to the finished Kiri and are stunned. Kiri’s last outfit was supposed to be mostly a joke, a suit and tie meant for a guy.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tna2yh5HV
But despite Kiri’s modest curves, she pulled it off. She pulled it off very well.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUWSX01d22
Jiro: “Damn… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl50e37jP3
Momo: “I… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6h7sVAhyv
Momo: ‘Why is Kiri hot!? Am I… no, I only like Izuku. But… Kiri is in this relationship too, and we have seen each other n-naked so…’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTMPOoG0mz
Shaking those thoughts away, Momo quickly bought the outfit, much to Kiri’s confusion. After that, the dressing session was brought to an end.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxyOjHZy40
Right on time too, the shopping trip was nearly over.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSUl4g4ZcX
The class regrouped soon after and made sure they had everything for the trip before leaving the mall for home.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqB7fCJhaD
The next time they meet, it will be time for the Forest Lodges trip. A trip that will signal the beginning of the end.

Final Exam Arc END

A/N: Sorry for the delay. Things happened in October, but moving wasn’t one of them.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H9OlfOKl8
All that time wasted. Then I had to catch up with some clients during November while picking up an additional one.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqQj4goQjb
I only had time during the last section of November, and I had to put off other work to do so.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7C1zeKJiE
I hope you enjoyed this arc, but I personally think it’s one of the weaker ones. Still necessary to move the plot and characters forward.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCJBHsVZi1
I also wanted to add more Melissa and One-Punch Man elements, but I couldn’t find the right time. Already a lot to juggle. I think I can add some more(One-Punch Man) next arc, but I don’t want to make the enemies too strong.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe623KK7Ef
I guess we’ll just have to see how things pan out.

As always, favorite, review, and give thoughts. They feed my motivation.
