Fubuki: “Another quiet patrol.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UMwr12WgS
The Blizzard group once again scoured the city for any villain or quirk beast activity but came up empty. Didn’t mean they didn’t do anything. The Blizzard group did general community work that made the city around the agency prosper.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDkShfmVIT
But that only made most of the group exhausted. Not tired enough to stop complaining about it, though.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVhWFUaTGB
Lily: “Boss Fubuki, perhaps we should stop for now?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8tOxN07mh
Mountain Ape: “At least for some food.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFQ1PjSUON
Fubuki: “30 more minutes.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UUTAQgOcP
She says while walking with her eyes closed, focusing on her psychic senses instead of sight. An easy way to train.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjoPT4nOJN
Eyelashes: “What about your brother and Emory?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjwKNKomxC
Fubuki: “Trust me, the more time Izu has, the more inventive his analysis.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01FJqTD4I9
Lily: “But-”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKwjKC64Uk
Fubuki opens her eyes and turns towards her group with a contained glare.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0UDiIv4pw
Fubuki: “This is the only way to get stronger and improve as a group. Clearly, what we were doing before wasn’t enough. We must be prepared for the worst.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxg8NJ8utn
Eyelashes: “Boss Fubuki, are we really getting better this way?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlpqZDhsbi
She turns and focuses her attention on Eyelashes.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAyCOaRitK
Fubuki: “Yes, it increases your stamina and gives me time to improve my own quirk. Our constant patrols make a constant presence in the area and deter villains.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l6M3OHcFx
Eyelashes: “I’m afraid at this rate, we might be too weak to fight when the-”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXDaRZXUV0
Fubuki: “Eyelashes.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbH5cGKcxo
Eyelashes: “Y-Yes?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDGKjX82WE
Fubuki: “I understand your concern, but is it so bad that you would go behind my back and talk to my mother?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2MvLtTvMV
The others in the group looked at Eyelashes with surprise, and some even started discussing among themselves. It looks like it was his own idea.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0YAtflAnA
Eyelashes looks down, and sweat gathers on his forehead.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJnvvkKkSt
Eyelashes: “Forgive me, Boss Fubuki. I just wanted to-”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15zh7LFXvP
Fubuki: “Stifle the growth of the group?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwTqLN2eOj
Eyelashes: “N-No! I… ”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqF55xGuHT
As the group shuffles in place awkwardly, unable to meet her gaze, she sighs.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGPM3TNNO6
Fubuki: “Why are you all are so… ”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uDL8jIYVc
She caught herself before saying something she’d regret for the rest of her days. Pinching her nose and closing her eyes, she releases the stress in a breath.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1XB78muP2
Fubuki: “Fine, let’s go back.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVBf2CSnSM
Their mood lifts as hers sours with worry for the future, the next crisis.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITDFKQ3NYk
Regardless, she still has an internship to oversee. So the group heads back to the agency, and Fubuki lets them rest around. Afterward, she makes her way to the room she left the kids in.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHLTVaaxVW
The sight, however, was more than what she could have expected.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf8DwzUzth
Fubuki: “What did you do?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC58ig3hip9
The whole room was like an indoor jungle, lush and thick with foliage.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGElgpUCqQ
Fubuki: “Izu, Emory!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S4ZHHNA9N
The bushes shake for a moment before a wild Izu appears. His face was dirty, but it didn’t ruin his bright smile.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjPkkQaR6b
Izuku: “Fubu, I’m glad you’re back! Emory’s quirk is incredible! I managed to keep the report short but was too excited to edit.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvYEn3WYTk
Just like that, her stress and worry vanished. The woman smiled and gently rubbed the dirt off Izuku’s face.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThBOnUPU1j
Fubuki: “I understand; you can edit later. Where is Emory?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARNSb7EftJ
Izuku: “She’s sleeping somewhere in here. I created a flower bed for her to sleep on with the plants she grew. I may have… overtaxed her.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oLkpXRkXF
Fubuki: “Hehehe, I expected as much. Can I see the report?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4vRpZx4x1
Izuku: “Of course!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxKzd01U04
The boy entered the forest and eventually came back out with a stack of 9 pages filled with observations and ideas. Fubuki received the paper stack and gave it a quick glance.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ00NTcKaxY
Fubuki: ‘Yeah, it needs an edit.’
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY5glCTFgk
Fubuki: “Thank you, Izu.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39UYqenJ5V
As she says that, Fubuki decides to show off and test her control. Without moving a finger, she manipulates the thicker plants and wood to create a fancy chair.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NvcYSOYeh
Izuku: “Whoa, your control has really improved. It took a minute or two to make the flower bed.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh56tObmYZU
Fubuki: “I’ve been training. Did Emory grow any fruits?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rmv9SUo00
Izuku: “Yes!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o8c0DeMwQ
Sensing his sister’s desire, Izuku moves some apples to his hand. Testing himself, he carefully peeled the apple into several slices with telekinesis. It was harder than he thought, but he managed. Now using their quirk, the two guided the slices they wanted into their mouths.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq741yJi8p
Izuku: “Delicious.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFVqZVADuk
Fubuki: “Indeed.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQNQ91ZePQ
Making his own custom chair, Izuku sat and enjoyed the calm atmosphere. After the fourth slice of apple, Fubuki spoke up.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R4SDeNArc
Fubuki: “This is a very-well done report, aside from the grammar. The speed and range of Emory’s quirk along with ideas of a seed gun. That is a bit… lethal though.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXsHf1tBLv
Izuku: “Well, she can control the rate of growth. She doesn’t have to… you know… blow up the villain.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlBkXl1b9y
They both shudder at the idea of a tree bursting out of a person’s chest.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpn9Az2A9U
Izuku: “But her quirk is best suited for support. She could set up wooden defenses, trap villains, help feed people, and restore forests. Her potential as a support hero is immense!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM9QqwUrnx
Fubuki: “I’m happy to hear it. She was… thinking of dropping out of school. Good thing she didn’t.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC2zS3gEf0
Izuku: “Really? Why?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrx4NDSlPQ
Fubuki: “Izu, not everyone has a quirk like ours. Some people don’t have quirks suited for hero work or… any work, really. But thanks to you, Emory now knows her quirk can be useful. Thank you.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZojSCzn41t
Izuku: “I-It’s was nothing. I’m happy to help.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvvcQVri6o
Fubuki: “I understand. But speaking of quirks, I heard you can heal now.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkwKfVQPAx
She says while taking another apple slice.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNBxk7MoVr
Izuku: “Huh? Where-”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkT5ozIBq9
Fubuki: “Recovery Girl couldn’t stay quiet for long.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S32IDvaPi
Izuku: “Oh.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghGsOlRG2E
Fubuki: “And then there’s the abilities you showed during the tournament. Transmutation? Your quirk really is strange.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWKJStbmZl
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Fubuki, there won’t be any more surprises from me.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl16vNMTlGq
Before Fubuki could question the sudden chill in the air, the door swung open to reveal Tatsumaki and Kaoru flying in.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2g3YpQv8p
Kaoru: “Whoa, what happened in here?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbLGuaBlIR
Fubuki: “Tatsu, weren’t you supposed to be on patrol?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzN6BVwLdf
Tatsumaki: “Akashi learned all she can about patrolling in the skies. Besides, I have a much better training idea.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46ar7WAQxZ
Fubuki: “Oh?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYvzRnGPjM
Tatsumaki: “I suggest a match between Akashi and Izuku.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaQ0zZxrec
Kaoru’s eyes widen before turning to Izuku with a smile.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7gNKzaXK1
Fubuki: “What? Wait a minute-”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbvyxSPAUD
Kaoru: “That’s perfect! I was a bit bummed that I couldn’t fight him in the tournament.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAobmbvPl49
Tatsumaki: “You can even make it harder on Izu by sending out small mental attacks. That way he can train his mental abilities at the same time.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv4Ts2nqmD
She says while moving one of the floating apple slices into her mouth.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JvIetreZ6
Izuku: “Aw, man.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaZUHwlAjQ
Kaoru: “Hey, I don’t need a handicap!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKZsqqKXhY
Tatsumaki: “You’re facing my brother, of course you do.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95edbVGSqu
Kaoru: “Hmph, I’ll show you. I’ll end this within five minutes.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3P2w1l5pB
Sighing, Fubuki accepts the fact her older sister has gained control over the situation.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyF3ri8OkU
Fubuki: ‘Not like it’s a bad idea. Still… would Tatsu have said the same thing if I was facing Akashi?’
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabFfJ1nBeF
Fubuki: “Fine, we can use the roof. Get your hero outfits and meet us there.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs3lyP6wqV
Kaoru & Izuku: “Right!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h2perEsgN
The two students leave the room, and Tatsumaki follows suit. Fubuki sighs again before opening up the jungle to reveal a sleeping Alice Emory.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLigCLW1d4h
Fubuki creates a blanket made of leaves and places it on Alice, which earns her a smile from the sleeping beauty.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8xibZVXwy
Fubuki: “I guess you can rest for now. But you’ll have to work harder tomorrow.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7X03En12U
With that, Fubuki leaves for the battle above.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYlSXH5ZRs
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hD23AuUaU
He wasn’t kidding; it went on for an hour. By the halfway mark, Kiri managed to get used to it. In 45 minutes, Tokoyami reached a satisfactory level.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6isVtBAdAZ
That left only Momo, who was standing against the wall with an outline of shurikens around her. She has gotten better, but that small shake of worry remained.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3nivKM6JU
Edgeshot: “You’re getting better. I even had to increase the speed of my throw to get you to flinch near the end. But we should change things up. I think the other two have rested enough.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NZY0OGwmX
Momo: “A-Alright.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk4gtbLijz
She eased herself off the wall, careful not to catch her clothes on the blades. Momo, along with the other students, stood near the center, waiting for the next task.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Nx7ES8Kz
Edgeshot: “First, change into your hero costumes. I have rooms prepared for you.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCIRK8Al7I
He led the students to two changing rooms. After a few minutes, they returned to the dojo fully equipped.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPabxt48gee
Edgeshot: “I will go out on patrol soon with Tokoyami, but before that I need to teach you two some grappling moves. First, Tae.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCO4kHxdmR
What followed was a brutal and uncomfortable showing of Edgeshot’s prowess as a fighter. Sure, Kiri wasn’t fighting back, but still…
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDFyBPt432
In the end, she was on the floor, tired but enlightened.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwhn9lE5ZB
Edgeshot: “Those are the basics of Judo and a few techniques that can knock an opponent out. We will go over them in more depth next time, but do you think you can mimic some of what I showed you?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd27iE4w0jo
Kiri: “Y-Yes.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpNEu8z5AT
Edgeshot: “Good. Considering your quirk, if you get the hold off, the opponent won’t be able to escape. But it depends on if you can touch the opponent. That’s where you come in.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VAJBWOa83
He turns to a still stunned Momo. It took a moment to register what he’s suggesting, and it only stunned her further.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaO6Ne842s
Momo: “Huh?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggsXi6Zhgl
Edgeshot: “While we’re gone, you two will have a mock battle. But there are rules. Yaoyorozu, your goal is to evade capture until we come back or you capture Tae yourself. Be quick of mind and use any non-lethal method at your disposal.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRgu4IOmO6
Not giving any time for questions, he then turns to Kiri, who finally got up.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcl5OtMG8A
Edgeshot: “Tae, you may only try to grapple Yaoyorozu in the battle. Use what you learned to win. Do you two understand?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK92MlT3WC
The two girls look at each other; they both know there is more to this than just training.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWt02vD4Yd
Momo & Kiri: “Yes.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bjALZZBNM
Edgeshot: “Good. Now, Tokoyami, make sure your quirk is always active while patrolling. Increase its tolerance.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrFqwyr7mD
Tokoyami: “Very well. Dark Shadow.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8lEEt35rq
The living shadow emerges from his body, already looking gloomy over the task.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBMH8gTVQI
Dark Shadow: “I know it’s training, but this sucks.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8t2Apauj7
Kiri: “Good luck. You can do it.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTiCkemmNA
She offers a thumbs-up to her fellow mental construct, something that instantly brightens Dark Shadow’s mood.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCzvJsJBpj
Dark Shadow: “Haha, thanks! I’ll do my best.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz0iOqvDJ6
Tokoyami: “Come, Dark Shadow.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4tCc8nRaA
Dark Shadow: “Right, partner.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk54vTEkeM4
Kiri watches them go, leaving the room in an awkward silence. The two girls, competing over the same boy, distance themselves and prepare for battle. Momo creates a bo staff, and Kiri lowers her stance.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd6jkg38tH
But before they can come to blows, something must be said.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsPrhl6ZiO
Momo: “Tae…”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII0Byxzvpy
Kiri: “… Yes?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcPaCk27Pi
Momo: “You know… I won’t give up on Midoriya.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJJboG2oQ1
Kiri: “… I know. But… are you strong enough to stand by him?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5ZbavXIHP
Momo: “I will be. But more importantly, I can actually love him. Can you?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWnOw7FlJE
Kiri narrows her eyes. She’s aware of this dilemma already, but she doesn’t want to hear it from Udders of all people. So the time for talk was over; she rushed her rival.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFB7QgbOJv
Thanks to the shurkian training, Momo wasn’t taken off guard completely by the speed. So she counters with a thrust, which Kiri easily dodges… right into a stun grenade.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl4BdNaFzg
Within the moments that Kiri was stunned, Momo created a glue gun and fired it. Not knowing what she had in store but wise enough to avoid it, Kiri jumped into the air and stuck to the ceiling.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKOh23R5Cy
But the blasts of glue didn’t stop, so Kiri let go right in time to avoid the follow-up. When her vision returned, she dashed forward again at a low angle.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV1mBr5E61
Didn’t matter, Momo had prepared a special shield in time to intercept. Undeterred, Kiri grabbed it, aiming to rip it out of Momo’s arms.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWzfAT9UGI
But with a click of a button, a jet of glue erupted from holes within the shield. It wasn’t enough to engulf Kiri, but it’s enough to slow her down.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoz7lHOeHi
Or it would be if Kiri didn’t expel the glue using her telekinesis. A bit taken off guard with her tactic being rejected, Momo was unable to prevent Kiri from ripping the shield from her hand.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfmRg3iRiL
Being dragged forward by the momentum, Kiri was in range to end this. Grabbing her arm, Kiri jumped and then used her legs to bring Momo to the ground by wrapping them around her head.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZby04sZMoZ
Wasn’t a perfect grapple, but good enough. Momo’s arm was caught, and her neck was being squeezed by Kiri’s legs.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaMeoK4yOt
Kiri: “Submit.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrzABESkQ1
Momo’s eyes said everything they needed.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJClohLe4sx
Never.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIgOLcWd4f
That being said, though, how is she going to escape? Her first instinct is to overthink, to question what she should create to escape.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkkJYoKRy4
But that training wasn’t for nothing. She closed her eyes and focused on the present. She can’t escape Kiri’s hold, not without overpowering her telekinesis. So why not lean into it?
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRto9NrT1N
Momo: ‘You don’t want to let go? Fine!’
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGElOkx6rz
Reaching for One For All, she surges strength into her captured arm, lighting up the room with pink lightning.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXLgRyYL4b
Kiri: “You-”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeF2Ydsjj3
Slowly but surely, Momo was picking up Kiri. Despite the girl’s strength, she doesn’t really weigh that much.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ntmVmO7MH
In the end, despite the legs around her head, Momo was able to stand and carry Kiri. In response, Kiri tightens the grip around Momo’s neck.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiU5Xo4DBO
Momo: “Ngh.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrt1vEOQ5s
Black spots were appearing in her vision; she couldn’t hold on for long. So she used her free hand and One For All to create several sharp caltrops on the ground. Not enough to maim, but enough to hurt. Momo holds Kiri over the trap.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kRXjgdC05
Momo: “Let… go… or I’m… slamming you.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6aZDydjuh
Kiri’s eyes want to say “never” as well, but there is some hesitation. So instead, Kiri takes a detour from her goal. She removes her legs and plants her feet on the ground, tiptoeing on the trapless part of floor, without releasing the arm.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe80IKB6hgb
Next, she flips Momo over her shoulder, forcing her to taste her own trap.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxr5z1arjg
Momo: “Gah!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdGKlYXY01
Ghost girl wasn’t done; she placed her foot on Momo’s chest, right below her mounds.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtwYgPSqjG
Kiri: “Submit.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo64DDJHLd
Momo: ‘I can’t get leverage in this position, and my back is killing me! But I can’t let it end here! Think, think, think!’
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHZLlw9JBN
Kiri: “You’re right, I’m not sure yet if I’m physically capable of real love for Izu. But what I do know is that he doesn’t really love you either.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqVDawvP6E
Momo: “What!?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7j33EByGC
Kiri: “If he chose you, I can only think of one reason, Udders.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl8vlIQDte
Momo’s face turns scarlet as she covers her chest with her free hand.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoQFJXWxa4
Momo: “W-Well, at least I have something to show off.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhgU6dbgtR
Kiri: “I-I could change my s-shape you know. If I wanted. But Izu loves me as I am.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1MQx8JAIf
Momo: “Does he? Or is he confusing his feelings for something else?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1nsjkCZ5l
Kiri: “He does! He kissed me back!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBiS7U6GtF
Momo didn’t register the tightened grip; she was too busy being stunned by the fact they already made out. Unlike her kiss, he seemed to have kissed Kiri back.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemtRKtUUVe
Momo: ‘But why?’
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSRr9yPv0d
Kiri: “Udders, you’re second choice. If my love is genuine, then Izu will choose me.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXMbJic8NA
Refocusing on the present, Momo resolves herself.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF6Zx6f2UV
Momo: “And if not, he’ll be with me. A human, like him.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluVX3Q6RKJ
Acting quickly, she creates a gun in the hand close to Kiri’s face and fires.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CAp5CMsbz
Apparently, Kiri wasn’t fully immune to flinches, since she released one hand to cover her face. But instead of a bullet, she was hit with a wave of water.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ZlxRiGXo
Kiri: “Huh?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwROw9mEsA
Her momentary confusion was all Momo needed to edit the water gun into a taser gun. Firing again, the electrified cords struck Kiri and lit her up like a Christmas tree, made even worse with the water.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo9hgeOcwl
But Momo wasn’t free from it; she was still connected to Kiri. Yet, she didn’t scream like Kiri did.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJnSUbduUf
Kiri: “A-A-Again…!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fcLQ5p5YC
Seems like Sabrina’s attack left a lasting effect, enough to force Kiri to let go of Momo. Seeing her chance, she gathered the rest of her strength to get up and delivered a heavy punch to Kiri’s face, sending her flying back.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqMTmtGnbq
Momo made sure to collapse on a section of the floor that wasn’t littered with caltrops. As for Kiri, she also collapsed, but she wasn’t unconscious.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Pn3ameam
The rivals in love took a moment to breathe, a temporary ceasefire. When it was over, the two got back up to finish things.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlWMvVawbj
Kiri: “I… was going to let you get closer to Izu, just in case. But I… changed my mind.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzA94P5QDB
Momo: “That’s not… your choice to make. I’m… going to kiss him next time… and I’m sure he’ll kiss me back.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkqZRHbmfD
Growling, Kiri threw all sense of technique and charged. Momo wasn’t much better; she charged forward as well.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GQpo74GRX
What followed wasn’t a fight, just a collective outburst of teenage frustrations. Hair pulling, clothes tearing, slapping, and, of course, taunts.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOYjQeddWC
Kiri: “I don’t see what Izu sees in these; they’re just bags of meat!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv9SLxiaCR
Momo: “M-Maybe because he’s a functioning boy and k-k-knows what they can be u-used for. Not like you would know that! Do you even know what s-s-sex is?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KVT8vJPJe
Kiri: “No, but I already know I want to do it with Izuku! And I bet he’ll do it with me before you.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzS9zxhxHg
Momo: “Y-You-You-You idiot!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E1vIaHsOI
Kiri: “No, you’re an idiot!”

Normally, these two wouldn’t sink so low. But emotions are running high, and love can make one blind. For example, they may not notice when the door opens.

Good thing Dark Shadow was there to quickly cover the eyes of the males present.

Dark Shadow: “What are you two doing!?”

Hearing a voice that wasn’t their own, the two girls looked up and saw that the boys were back. Quickly cooling off, they finally noticed their clothes. Or lack thereof.

Kiri: “… Ah.”

Momo: “N-N-NOOOOO!!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQo7e1smu8
An embarrassing redress later, the two were kneeling before Edgeshot and Tokoyami.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmvZK9c93m
Momo & Kiri: “We’re sorry.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xEQozeNn5
Edgeshot: “I don’t know what problem you two have, but you will manage it properly during this internship. Am I understood?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK75F3L153
Momo & Kiri: “Yes!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q7yK0KLkF
Edgeshot: “Good. Since you two clearly need to cool off, we’ll continue this tomorrow. Yaoyorozu and Tokoyami, you can go back home.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2gwxWApf0
Momo gives one last look at Kiri before getting up and leaving through the elevator with Tokoyami.

As for Kiri, she kept her head down in shame. She usually doesn’t let her emotion cloud her actions so much, but when it comes to Izuku…

Kiri: ‘I shouldn’t have done that. If… he does pick Yaoyorozu… then it would be better to be friends with her, not enemies. Otherwise, Izu wouldn’t be happy.’

Edgeshot: “I have to say, I expected more from you. But I suppose it makes sense, considering what you did during the tournament.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMmCYSSqeB
The girl lifts her head and looks at Edgeshot, who seems strangely on guard.

Kiri: “What do you mean?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mWqNdyAgf
Edgeshot: “The quirk beast massacre. You didn’t hide your getaway fast enough.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4xe2XNnWo
Her eyes widened as the implication became clear.

Edgeshot: “Yes, I know who you are, Valkyrie.”
