The morning light is the first thing our young esper wakes up to. Unfamiliar walls and supremely soft sheets assault his senses.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEsw7Y3bTk
Izuku: ‘Where…’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsWOf93bNH
Then the memories return, and he nearly erupts from the bed in embarrassment. Speaking of beds…
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfIN69ehUh
Izuku: “M-Momo?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXOXppiZ7f
The girl he nearly gave everything to was missing. Her warmth was still there, soft and inviting. A few hours within wouldn’t hurt. But he still has internships, and he has to explain to Fubuki where he was.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee9YUCBrF8
Izuku: “Great… ”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9llCEGNGkq
No use moaning over it. He reluctantly exits the bed and rediscovers the bathroom he used last night. Freshening up, he accepts the small change within.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiOUnHCYf1
Izuku: ‘Sure, I want M-Momo. A lot. But I also want Kiri. I don’t want to make either of them sad. Can it… be possible…? ’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy3Gy4f0iy
As he places his hero costume back on, he takes a step forward.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiMIG3gBbo
Izuku: ‘It wouldn’t hurt for them to be friends at least. Yeah, that’s all.’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbpOWeis7a
With that rationalization out of the way, the boy goes to the living room and eventually smells something cooking. Following the source, he is blessed with the sight of Momo making breakfast in the kitchen.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu1wXatioc
Her hair was down, and she was wearing casual wear that perfectly emphasized her soft figure. Sensing his presence, she turned around and gave him a smile worthy of the greatest wife award.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCQeNzk7UL
Momo: “Ah, good morning, Izuku. You came just in time. Sit down; it won’t take long.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nhlC9rdH6
The boy was starstruck by the sight of a beautiful girl cooking for him.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn9UZEgwyT
Izuku: “Y-You’re cooking… for me?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5STZmmG0m8
Momo: “Yes! It’s my first time, but I think I got the hang of it.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8GtTfcg0e
Izuku: “T-Thank you… ”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQbT8axWNP
Dragging his body to the table, he tried to come to terms with the situation.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PQ3U83rNz
Izuku: ‘It’s almost like we’re married already…’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIn6TQL2tL
As Izuku thinks that, he looks around and finally notices just how quiet the house is. He’s gotten used to it, but it’s still strange. Considering he might actually be with this girl, he might as well ask a question he’s had for a while.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw13Yhb7RM4
Izuku: “Momo, where are your parents?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52PmPosORu
Momo: “Well, they believe in independence. The butler and maids only work 3 times a week, so we have a lot of time alone.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNwNWwdKPt
Izuku: “R-Right.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJBnvFtikS
Momo: “As for where Mom and Dad are, I suppose all over. They have many business ventures that require their attention.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr239Bcdm4g
Izuku: “Don’t you… miss them?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElBARO9GeU
Momo: “… Sometimes. But I’ve gotten used to it. Besides…”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j98kTtkvN
She finishes cooking and sets the steaming meal on the table.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRGCYM1h3m
Momo: “It gives us privacy. Imagine if my parents were here yesterday.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aY7mCvAAE
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, that would have been… unfortunate.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmST57FY682
He says while taking a sip from the glass of water present with the meal.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2fAv4ImX1
Momo: “It would. I’d like for them to see my future husband while he’s decent.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU63q1z0uq
And there goes the water. After coughing, the poor boy gives Momo a bewildered look. She returns it with a head tilt and smile.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO8uyIZ5TD
Izuku: “H-Husband!?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNjXfNksWB
Momo: “Of course. That’s what happens when you’re in a relationship, right? You fall in love, date, and eventually get married.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ub4knpfT
Izuku: “I-I know, but… aren’t we too young to be thinking about marriage?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yroBRxPC6
Momo: “Too young to think about marriage but old enough to have sex?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWhv1hKlJh
Izuku: “… Fair point.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMr4SrJKEI
She takes his hand into hers and squeezes enough to show the sincerity of her words.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHtNVimr4z
Momo: “Izuku, this is the first relationship I’ve been in, and I want it to go right. I want to take it seriously. I hope you’re the same.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgXAmGNLY4
Izuku: “I am… it’s just-”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJUFukqHxF
Momo: “I know, Tae. I get it. But I have a feeling I’m the one right about her.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr9hSvLBJw
Izuku: “W-Why do you say that?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6sujLMI6J
Momo: “Well, Tokoyami and Tae came back to the agency really out of it. Considering the fact she’s very similar to Dark Shadow, it wasn’t hard to guess what happened. I suppose she has her answer.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkThdc8Xwvu
Izuku: “I-I see…”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFu9ivoAvs
Momo: “… You still believe that her feelings are real?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjiv2Myeis
Izuku: “I do. It’s hard to explain. I mean… how do you even prove something like that? But I can just tell… when we’re together.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIkeQobf6S
With that, Momo removes her hand.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sLYM9vV2G
Momo: “You know, I~zuu~kuu… ”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF66F81bUGN
Izuku: “Huh?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzjIX39D59
The boy looks at Momo, who was smiling at him, but based on the red aura surrounding her, it wasn’t a good smile.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6Q8jTtjgu
Momo: “No girl likes to hear her crush talking about another girl during breakfast. One she made.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2OedL0dbQ
Izuku: “S-Sorry!”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFmBgW3aRH
Momo sighs while Izuku digs into his food. She can only pick at it.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GouJfdkwp
Momo: “This is why I think it’s unhealthy. You two are codependent on each other. More than that, there’s so much else wrong with it. You’re siblings, she’s technically not even a teenager yet, and-”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRfApsbc6I
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnmvZ5iz2F
He stops eating and looks at the girl with a glare that freezes any words left in her throat.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh08JoHnKl
Izuku: “Listen, even if we… start d-dating, Kiri will always be a part of my life. She’s… like my other half. No matter what, we will be together. So I would prefer if you two got along instead of fighting. Don’t let jealousy cloud your judgment.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3QDLgZsIl
Momo: “I’m not-”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVMqEHPxeK
Izuku: “Momo.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jOKuOBHpw
Momo: “… Fine, I’m a bit jealous. Can’t really blame me? She monopolizes your time, and you kissed her first.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO1JEbR7Xr
Izuku: “I’ll be sure to be fair to both of you from now on.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEgNdP9Juj
Momo: “You’re talking as if you’ll date both of us.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeHPmvcSoi
Izuku: “W-What?! O-Of course not, that wouldn’t work! Hahaha… ”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4fsOIuRvd
Momo: “… No, I don’t think it would.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH1hSMELds
That signaled the end of that conversation. The duo ate their food in silence until it was time to leave. Despite the somewhat awkward conclusion, Momo was still able to give Izuku a goodbye kiss.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIiMFSg5P5
Stunned by the love and affection received, he can only watch Momo practically bounce away with joy at her heels.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNezMk4N7B
Izuku: ‘I-I really am lucky.’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhLLXXfK65
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29sU09j5YU
Fubuki: “Where were you?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLMr0V3pW9
Izuku: ‘Nevermind.’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo8vPzrjSP
After a few teleports, he made it back to the Blizzard Group, and his sister wasn’t happy. She was at the front with her arms crossed and eyes narrowed.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRm8Am5zDR
Fubuki: “You said you were going to get some extra training with a classmate. I didn’t expect you to stay the night, though. Should I know something?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzCaV4vBz3
Izuku: “Well… I… ”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWZqLbqb6C
Her face softens, and she lets out some soft giggles.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsyaPMYPB6
Fubuki: “I guess my little brother is growing up. Just make sure to use protection.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgNKlNRrg7
Izuku: “I-I-It’s not like that!”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxdDwFTx4h
Fubuki: “Sure it isn’t. Then what’s that perfume I smell and the smudge on your lips?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N96Bo7x86
Izuku: “What!?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf2tQZTngo
He quickly wipes his mouth, and sure enough, lipstick.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTE1TzEx8c
Izuku: ‘Did she do that on purpose?!’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABcnkYfWXt
Fubuki: “Okay, I’ll stop teasing. I won’t lie, though; I’m a bit jealous. I guess I’m the only single Midoriya. Not counting Kiri.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sc2BFMCfg
Izuku: “I-I’m sure you’ll find someone, Fubuki.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DjxvG44kB
Fubuki: “Maybe… or I might have missed my chance a long time ago… ”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisoL1DejAg
She shakes away the memory of that old flame she blew out herself.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1krnJVOc5X
Fubuki: “Come on, we’re going on a joint field trip today.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0GJpxXX8j
The boy follows his sister into the building and inquires further.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZDVj9msqj
Izuku: “Field trip?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELzOMnWMWP
Fubuki: “Yeah, you need to be able to patrol in different cities if needed. To adapt quickly to new environments. While we’re gone, I’ll leave Eyelashes in charge.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqADGA0eTM
Izuku: “Okay, is Tatsu coming too?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ1kaveit5
Fubuki: “No, much to Akashi’s dismay. There was a small outbreak of quirk beasts a few cities away and another earthquake disaster. She was the only one that could make it in time.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEw1aW22wK
Izuku: “She really is always on call huh?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp015RXJ36j
Fubuki: “They’d call her overseas if they could.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS4UbROsHi
Izuku: “So… where are we going?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKvdlrJ7pV
Fubuki: “Hosu City.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHPWqcjxjR
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD8oO0EiDM
Even Momo had to admit she was worried about Kiri. She knew the news that her love for Izuku might be fake would be devastating. But it was harder to watch than she thought.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcTp23hTQA
Darn her sympathy.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw7gPObMaF
On the outside, Kiri seemed fine. She went through the motions of ninjutsu training alongside Tokoyami and her. But it was more robotic than usual.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdlzQIRpx9
Momo: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I want to help her. Time for some more drastic measures.’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd07sOn74u
When the break came, Momo went to Kiri, who was simply standing next to a wall.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfklm0tyVD
Momo: “Tae, are you okay? You seem… off today.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb05xS7aaIe
Kiri: “… I’ll survive. I have my family.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9mHlv83vj
Momo: “So… I take it that you gave up on Izuku.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoUCGLpPaW
A slight twitch.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqhUnW6pPH
Kiri: “First names?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnNyghocbr
Momo: “It was bound to happen. But you didn’t answer my question.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBRmwmvIYz
Kiri: “… I don’t want to give up. But… even Dark Shadow seems… uncertain of his emotions towards Tokoyami.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzzVJm6SbJ
Momo: “I see… ”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVg2aKyPP5
She should be happy that Kiri is a step closer to backing off. But darn it, stepping on someone’s heart will never feel right to her. Her mind can’t help but see herself in Kiri’s shoes.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzlf0pB7H3
Momo: “Maybe… he just hasn’t come to an answer yet. I don’t know what you said to them, but I’m sure it was a lot to take in.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgfDGYodYZ
Kiri glances at Momo but doesn’t move any other part of her body.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKagf3mUMJv
Kiri: “Why are you talking to me, Udders?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpjPQX37lY
And just like that, the sympathy is gone.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdHi6JeOUM
Momo: “Can you please call me something else?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W8tzljAvP
Kiri: “No, it fits you.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKSJlJxVyo
Momo: “Wha… you know what? You’re right.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobcNS0eME5
Kiri: “I know.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5CQqeE8Yb
Momo: “Anyway! You’re right because Izuku loves my… c-chest.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBvA8styEQ
An intake of breath and another twitch.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGQSC4LWz8
Kiri: “Excuse me?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEg4RYgFNY
Momo: “We made out, got really… i-i-intimate last night. Didn’t go all the way, but we thought about it.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbc9wG0kUs
Kiri: “You-”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRY0Pf0QLw
Momo: “So if you don’t stop moping around, I’ll take him from right under you.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy8BLqVJhE
She leaves for the shower before Kiri could retaliate. Along the way, what she just did hits her.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM51xWRQmYe
Momo: ‘What was I thinking!? Why did I practically encourage her to keep chasing Izuku?!’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR2KD7ECLV
If it wouldn’t echo, she’d slam her head on the hall for her foolishness. But the answer to her question is obvious.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPkGNGGfQl
Momo: ‘Someone I knew was in pain, and I wanted to help. I don’t hate Tae, despite everything. I just want Izuku to stay with me instead… ’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVox2IZSdu
As the water hits her body, she thinks back to Izuku’s words this morning.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeel1VHtE3
Momo: ‘He’s right… those two will be together regardless if they’re dating or not. I’ll have to accept that and… try to get along with her. As long as she’s willing.’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJxvuRsnk9
With that in mind, she finished the shower and joined the other two back in the dojo. Kiri was still expressionless but did seem a bit more lively.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbXotnnZot
Momo: ‘It’s strange I notice these things now.’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOeUebrWyt
Edgeshot: “Good job, you three did well today. Time for a joint field trip.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsArw9oLIb2
Momo: “Field trip?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHC14gOwW8
Edgeshot: “Yes. You’ll need to be able to quickly adapt to new environments and learn how to work with new people. You’ll be on your own as well. After I take you there, you’ll have to rely on your skills for this patrol. This will also be a good chance for you, Tokoyami.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lcHTjVTER
Tokoyami: “How so?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RvHDIoV4U
Edgeshot: “This patrol will last till the night to test and train your stamina and stealth. Night calls are not uncommon. You need to be ready.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd3BC3qi4x
Tokoyami: “… Understood.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU9YHkoisq
Kiri: “Location?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd3OrWH2uS
Edgeshot: “Hosu City. Yes, the other city with the recent earthquakes.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADSK8gpSED
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68BShdO6P8
Kaoru: “No Tornado… ”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsbyLxnM2W
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7nt4L8HQY
Fubuki: “Get over it and focus. Big sis was pampering you anyway.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeKiK7lBkx
Fubuki’s group consisted of Izuku, Kaoru, Alice, Lily, and Mountain Ape. They were all in their hero costumes. Alice’s costume stood out as a nature-themed suit with a white and green color scheme along with an orange glass mask. Thanks to Izuku’s suggestions, she had several pockets filled with different seeds.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJfiNw89nr
Currently, the group is at the designated meeting place within Hosu City. Apparently, they are the first ones here.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3PbXDTWRL
Alice: “Are we too early?
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitDVLS1epU
Fubuki: “No, just on time.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm1SaWF7Yu
Izuku: “Then where are the two other groups?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDULS9gqEf
Fubuki: “One is late. The other is hiding. Edgeshot, you’ve taught your kids well.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdRuxK1ZGd
Edgeshot: “And your senses have gotten better.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9XvTrmBiA
Out of the shadow come four ninjas.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNVzyNc0ZT
Kaoru: “Whoa, what the heck!?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2IQveiuls
Lily: “Cool…”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxgrHGKuQt
Mountain Ape: “Tch, ninjas… ”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHefX6MQJ7
Izuku: “Kiri! Momo!”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdGP9fpmPM
The two girls warmly smile at the boy before returning to their tough ninja masks.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KtVYfkFmc
Edgeshot: “Seems like Gunhead is not here yet.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OIgPnbCb3
Fubuki: “We’ll wait 15 more minutes.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEUoAx3PCf
Izuku: “Gunhead? That means Uraraka and… Kirishima will come.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HWGV4Jcrp
Izuku: ‘Yep, I’m still a bit jealous of him. I’m such a hypocrite.’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq6tHmgwv0
Kaoru: “Hey, you three have pretty cool cloaks.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3CYkUKZtW
Now that she mentions it, yeah. Momo and Kiri now have hooded cloaks similar to Tokoyami, even with the same color.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8bA9VCcjG
Alice: “You really come across as ninjas.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBFMT1gfwW
Tokoyami: “We have been embraced by the shadows.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjaXHT8OzD
Kiri: “Nh.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlhJeM7Ys9
Momo: “Black isn’t really a part of my color scheme though.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaFSntOoSe
She says while readjusting the silver clasp of her cloak.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteCyz32umD
Izuku: “It… l-looks good on you though.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fWh990ZlV
Momo: “R-Really? Well… I guess I can make an exception.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9NhAipwRc
Kiri can only sigh at their blush.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QemNHnIg8
Kiri: ‘Is this my life now?’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRHuR8p2ve
Edgeshot: “Here they come.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4RQ63xTYg
Just then, Gunhead was running towards them along with his two interns.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw92dpcp8O
Gunhead: “Sorry we’re late. Had to deal with a purse snatcher, if you can believe it.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1DrvVoNTH
Uraraka: “Midoriya!”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYbzCGALiv
Kirishima: “Hey, Tae!”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t7ETwveC1
The group comes together to share their internship tales while the adults describe the plans.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BgjtWdrnk
Fubuki: “The odd ones out are Alice and Kaoru. Build the teams around those two.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSoRiqSbOb
Edgeshot: “Agreed, that way the teams aren’t all classmates.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlClwBRGWMx
Gunhead: “Adding one of your Blizzard Group members can help even things out.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsz2RJ0pKK
Fubuki: “Alright, but I’m keeping Mountain Ape with me. That way it’s 3x3.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHPWJrWj6E
Edgeshot: “Very well. Here are the patrolling teams. And remember, let the kids grow into their own. Only interfere if necessary.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCH3mTxh8G
Gunhead: “Roger.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqxwpvdPKY
Kaoru’s Team:
- Tokoyami
- Kirishima
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLzyCBC9yp
Alice’s Team:
- Izuku
- Uraraka
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTmNx15dam
Lily’s Team:
- Kiri
- Momo
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasPTZc6Kuq
Kiri and Momo couldn’t help but give Izuku the side-eye for having two cute girls other than them at his side. He didn’t meet their gaze.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PFxGCxw73
Fubuki: “Make sure to lead them well, Lily.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7IECOYG4y
Lily: “Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNf3rMP8uj
Edgeshot: “We’ll meet back here in 12 hours.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdnYAgPPdj
Everyone: “12 hours!?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnHwoovYOZ
Fubuki: “The city is large, and sometimes you’ll need to patrol that long if other heroes are unavailable.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cUJqJuo9I
Gunhead: “I hate when that happens. Having to cover nearly a whole city with just a few good pro heroes.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tNbTQyhXJ
Edgeshot: “Especially when it’s for some big event or because some pro needed to take special leave for whatever reason.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24XoAAWWp8
Fubuki: “So you all understand?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mlr97LHUq
They nodded, if a bit slowly.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfha64yK6P
Fubuki: “Don’t worry. We won’t be that far away if something goes wrong and you have our numbers.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UrxxgY9FT
Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfhWCwrCmo
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqomiVywfc2
On top of the many buildings stands a killer of fake heroes. Behind him, a black portal opens. From within exist Tomura and Azrael.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXidsom4NoX
Tomura: “Hosu, man… it’s surprisingly prosperous.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxaOsFe0fT
Azrael: “Not for long, I’d imagine.”

Stain: “I’m going to reform this city, and for that, more… sacrifices are needed.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSSqc19G4v
The killer opens his arms, as if to embrace the city.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE10HKaxg7u
Stain: “The title ‘Hero’ should only be permitted to those who have achieved great undertakings! There are too many of them… counterfeit ‘Heroes’ who worship themselves or the almighty dollar. Follow me, assistant; we will teach them the error of their ways.”

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

Tomura: “This is your second outing. What have you learned?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWYAd3Qv1x
Azrael: “He’s as talented of a fighter as I suspected. However, we could take him out if needed. His quirk seems to be the ability to paralyze those whose blood he consumes. Duration varies on blood type.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fnN53ZUmZ
Tomura: “So just a tool?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8cCSRY1bL
Azrael: “One with a message.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD8SbXBO9e
The man scoffs at the notion.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y5or77bCE
Tomura: “Does he want to raise up a damn grassroots movement or what?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rzHTS1imG
Kurogiri: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYe1Fdy8Bo
Tomura: “Oh?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOXWzV7GDM
Kurogiri: “The reality is that in all the cities where Stain has appeared, the crime rates have fallen. Some critics attribute this to a rise in heroes becoming more aware and on guard. Simply, an increase of hero activity.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadoRWyhVHk
Tomura: “Wow, well isn’t that just fantastic! So the more he appears, the more heroes crack down on crime? So the ‘hero killer’ is also a ‘hero breeder’!”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaNGp9Gc89
After Tomura stops laughing at the hilarity of the situation, he stills and starts scratching his neck.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdqV3SXaiu
Tomura: “As I thought… at the root we just don’t get along… annoying. If you want to kill, then kill. Those ideals only get in the way.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTWQBCSAL4
Azrael: “I can already tell you want to unleash the Nomus; I would advise against it.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMKypILoih
He stops scratching his neck and glances at Azrael.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRmXDTgROr
Tomura: “And why is that?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUejNBe1o3
Azrael: “If Stain won’t work in our organization, and his goals only serve to make things worse for us, then I’ll kill him. But not before he explains to me what he saw in me.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXNeIiLkO9
Tomura: “It was probably nothing. Don’t let it get to you.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HQzAPW7jg
Azrael: “Maybe, but… I want to know. Besides, you shouldn’t waste Nomus or quirk beasts on this. Not unless we need to.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4IRm0mTtu
Tomura: “… Fine. You and the strategist did manage to acquire those big quirk beasts for us. Wouldn’t want to waste them on him. He isn’t worth it.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyc8izehXA
Azrael: “Thank you. Where is Apotheosis, by the way?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqQ1RWWNsG
Tomura: “Tch, where do you think?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEubGYYjMQ5
Azrael: “Right… he’s been stuck in there for a while. Well, try to relax at base while I catch up with Stain. I’ll call if I need reinforcements.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rSbtTpzg6
With that, the eldest disappears into a mud portal. As for Tomura, he began to scratch his neck again.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip8yKmQNoS
Tomura: “Annoying… I want to crush the so-called ‘hero killer’s’ precious pride and prestige. Killing him isn’t enough. A few Nomus wouldn’t be so bad, right, Azrael?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFLsemuNWV
Sensing the command, Kurogiri opens a portal that unleashes five varied and grotesque nomus into the city.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIDR3pefBS
Tomura: “Level… start.”
