The next day, Izuku awoke with the feeling of something warm and alive on top of him. His sleepy eyes fluttered open to find Kiri lying on his chest, her smaller body rising and falling gently alongside each breath he took. They resembled an otter parent and child pair lazing atop each other, her little fists clutching his pajama shirt tight while she dozed peacefully. A lock of his dark hair drifted near her mouth, and she began to chew on it, even drooling a little.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2FBkyd6q1
However, there’s a problem.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p5K7bYevc
Kiri: “Nmu… ”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMShGvK3RAi
This is his room, and she shouldn’t be here. Izuku fought down his blush and sucked in his panic.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvA9UxQ7ki
Izuku: ‘Did she sleepwalk?’
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCakr1jNda
Glancing at his bedside clock, he noticed it was almost time to get up and get ready for school. The boy tried to gently slide her off without waking her up. Ironically, his actions had the opposite effect when she held on tighter the moment she felt her 'bed' shifting.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF45weBLFsN
With no choice, Izuku prodded at her cheek tenderly, careful not to startle her.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmWIJtQb6L
Izuku: "Kiri?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZl1z8Mpb9
Kiri: "Nn?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAtdaevY55
The little girl let out a small yawn.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl7OxSU4vQ
Kiri: "Nii-chan… ”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbyErCv51A
Izuku: "Y-Yeah, it's me. W-What are you doing here?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGryqnIl3fx
Kiri: “Wanted… to be close to you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9kaDvOy8f
Izuku: “But… we can’t sleep in the same bed. You should’ve stayed in your room. Did you sleepwalk?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9njjhTILI
Kiri: “No, I couldn’t sleep… until I was with you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVicEIizWph
She looked at him with such innocent eyes, dispelling any worries of other thoughts. But still, this can’t go on. Izuku shifted their positions so they were sitting cross-legged across from each other.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWYIjvcUyn
Izuku: “Kiri, we have to clear up the misunderstanding at school.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24s77IjMDm
Kiri: “What misunderstanding?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVwX9aQWe8
Izuku: “That you’re my… girlfriend.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYutWoVUWI
Kiri: “But I’m a girl, and you’re my friend.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tZ9JxqeOG
Izuku: “Yes, but a girlfriend is something different. It’s… only for couples.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9TkZEN0J5
Kiri: “Couples?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZhG1OCFdi
Izuku: “Y-Yes, those who love each other.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAZqw46tN8
Kiri: “But… I do love you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmTTrnFSm2
Izuku couldn’t help but blush a bit from that. Sure, he sees Kiri as a little sister, but she’s still a cute girl. Hearing that from a cute girl would of course get a reaction.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct29gQ8uXS
A reaction that made Kiri feel… strange again. More good this time.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7GSm05IBU
Izuku: “I-I-I know you do, b-but that’s familial love, not romantic.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIuXITPQiS
Kiri: “What’s… the difference?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfPaMdbVmw
Izuku: “Um, one is for your family, and the other is for someone you… intend to marry.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy04eDEsRj
Kiri: “Mmmmmm, can’t we get married?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwY0c1nhnG
Izuku: “W-What!? No!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcI6togloS
Kiri: “Why?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhCufryLPs
Izuku: “Because you’re like my sister! Siblings can’t get married!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TWHsWdL3q
Kiri: “Why not?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0QHqJC2w0
Izuku: “Because… because… ”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2rG4gQHmC
The more he thought on it, the more the reasons don’t work in this case. Kiri is a mental construct, so the genetic argument doesn’t work.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVW0ERfukq
But still, he shouldn’t see her that way. If Kiri is okay, then maybe-
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgKsfXWUDV
Izuku shakes his head violently, banishing those bad thoughts.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrWmMFcvHJ
Izuku: “Look, Kiri, we just can’t. Please, just tell everyone we’re just friends. Not girlfriend and boyfriend. Can you do that for me?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMwogPzCRz
Kiri: “… Okay.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN7xbrZCnw
He can tell she still doesn’t really get it, but this will have to do for now.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh6ceEwuVq
Izuku: “Good, now we have to get ready for school. We can’t be late.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79HTOqM059
Kiri: “Nh.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqQqQp01S8
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNli2yKgtAY
After running to school, because they were almost late and for exercise, the duo got breakfast and then attended their first class.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00Bq7QvAfg
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFBHL8x3zJ
Present Mic: “All right, class. Tell me where the mistake is in the English sentence. Who knows the answer? Everybody, hands up and raise them high!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90WZQXGSjh
‘So normal!’
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk70VhPLlgl
The whole class shared the same sentiment. Some students were dozing off, like Mina, or even sleeping, like Kiri. She didn’t see much reason to learn this stuff after all.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1u2bmU6Qb
The only one who seemed to be enjoying himself was Izuku. After that though, the class was allowed to gather at the grand mess hall.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0ZD5moq14
The group was pretty big; nearly the whole class was together. Much to Izuku’s delight, he was welcomed with open arms.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfdNEncdmz
Izuku: ‘I never expected to get this many friends, all at once.’
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvynVWyjCRB
They group shared their names, the basics of their quirks, and complaints about schoolwork. You know, normal school life.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNziUjoEbF
That did, however, leave little time to clear up the Kiri misunderstanding.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrIdXJvh3v
Regardless, that normalcy was coming to an end, for a special teacher was coming in for their next class.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7q6RBpUR1
All Might: "I AM HERE…"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxr5AHPiTh
Everyone's heads perked, and wide grins split their faces at the welcomed surprise.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYMAmHeJQN
All Might: "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZMHeSBRvm
"We have All Might as a teacher?!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZACk1YS0j
The class erupted in excitement as All Might walked in, resplendent in his Silver Age costume.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF22sY1SHY
Mina: "Whoa, his style is so different! I swear I'm hearing a theme song right now!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlarSlw0m3
Jiro: "You're not the only one."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszuo9zlDjR
All Might proceeded to chew the scenery right up as he heroically made his way to the podium and put his fists on his hips.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEFd9cJjuf
All Might: "I will be teaching Fundamental Heroics! In this subject, we will be putting all of you through your paces so that you can learn the basics of being a Hero. We'll be here quite often. This class and its subsequent advanced versions will have the most units per semester."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLSpPkAC2b
He seemed to flex, and somehow managed to make a card appear in his hand.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTblPKAVqpP
All Might: "So let's get right into it! Your first class shall be… Combat Training!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE31UCUAv0
The card had the word 'Battle' written on it.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnwOrQ59Oy
Bakugo: "Combat?!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrs5MfZ2AT
He was grinning broadly, beyond excited. With this, he could prove once and for all who’s on top.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Hw1dYmiL
All Might: "And for that you need these!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G44j0APAc
All Might clicked a button and several panels popped out of the wall to the far side of the room. Each of them had five containers labeled from 1 to 15.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tQV7hCy5V
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNA5Dk4UxJ
All Might: "In accordance with the Quirk Registry as well as your own written requests... here are your-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqVnUGDY6B
"COSTUMES!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHZag3MRLS
Nearly the whole class shouted in glee. They couldn't wait to see how all of them had turned out.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomLy1lCcNn
All Might: "That's right! After you change, meet me at Ground Beta!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mhHj50nvz
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvFKjGwqh9
All Might stood alone now, fists again on his hips as he waited for his students to start coming through the tunnel into Ground Beta. His grin widened as he started picking up on faint footsteps before the first of them broke into the light.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEgFP5QSAi
All Might: "They say the costume makes the hero, young ladies and gentlemen."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37e3cWUaqt
He eyed each of them and liked what he saw with most of the costumes.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcyCkDEDZj
All Might: "Be proud. From this moment on, you are HEROES!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulveONItlG
Behind the rest of the class, Izuku and Kiri were the last ones walking out of the tunnel. He had gotten a little lost in a memory when he and Kiri first put on their costume.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5JqpY8S6R
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5uF3eLXUt
It was the night before his first day at UA, and the family had just finished dinner. After cleaning up, Inko pulled him and Kiri aside with a brilliant smile on her face.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gcFXmcsjs
Inko: “Me and Fubuki have a surprise for you! Right, Fubuki?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY4UT1Bhvh
Fubuki was pretty silent throughout dinner, but hearing her name finally brought her back to reality.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMarDWrjjw
Fubuki: “O-Oh, yes! I almost forgot, stay here, Izu!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Sex6GdzM
Fubuki nearly ran out the door.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkxVFDSd2x
Izuku: “What is it?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFR6nLPqLm
Tatsumaki: “Something we made for when you were accepted into UA.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRSYXJfD9U
Inko: “Fubuki was the one who came up with the idea and even paid for it. Tatsu and I helped design it. But we did take a peek into your hero journals for inspirations.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkhU0wHCbU
Before Izuku could wonder what they made, Fubuki came back with two large metal suitcases. She floated them in with her quirk and laid them on the couch.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfPo75sfGi
Fubuki: “I really hope you too like it. I spared no expense.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SdFRyhVkc
Izuku and Kiri got on their knees and opened the suitcases. Their eyes widen at the gift.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm7RTyAWl2
Tatsumaki: “You’re heroes now; you have to look the part.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ5OLstGsr
Izuku beamed a brilliant grin, which brought joy to those that saw it.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9Bw837PRE
Izuku: “Thank you, for everything!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi2vediTuE
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbpNbtadni
Uraraka: "Woah! You two look amazing!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZWomVAWws
The gleeful cry from Ochaco drew all of their attention, and several more exclamations rang out.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwHvFkkpkN
Mina: "Wow, matching outfits!? So cute!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsrfZTUIn0
Mina's voice rang out as she started excitedly running around them, checking out every angle.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYbvi1kSvq
Momo: "Quite cool. I like it a lot."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMj2HxB6Kk
Momo smiled at him specifically, getting another luminescent blush from the shy boy.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgHMJsg2co
Izuku: “T-Thank you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs9h1isF1W
Denki: "Jeez, looking at him makes my costume look like a crappy cosplay. I'm a bit intimidated."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRu3JCa45q
Kaminari complained in good humor. He was wearing clothes that wouldn't have looked out of place at a rock concert. They looked like regular clothes.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7qYQKqgjl
Bakugo: “Tch.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfsYUYWzEd
Izuku's full costume looked to be in a similar style to the one All Might was wearing. It was a full bodysuit and had a green cape, but that was where the similarities ended.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8doLTRwbf2
Rather than spandex, it was a combat bodysuit similar to those really old space-themed video games from the previous century like Crysis or Mass Effect.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxWUQteVIM
It was primarily black, but there were some green accents woven in through the suit. The gloves and boots were bright green, as was the cape and the shoulders, running down to his arms. A bright green bird of prey was emblazoned on his chest.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldpLABL9yS
Finally, an emerald sash rested on his hips for his Psi blade.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuNfkUv6uJ
As for Kiri, her outfit was much the same, except her primary color was white with light green accents. She had no cape but instead had a gladiator helmet with silver wings. A helmet worthy of a Valkyrie.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64kZss0az4
Together, they contrast but somehow still complement each other well.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u38cYp0z8
Mina: “Aw, I’m so jealous. I wish I had a boyfriend I could have matching costumes with.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfECFRckBrP
Kiri: “Nh.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9B42Alz1R
Izuku: “But-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuSkikZpIT
All Might: "Alright, my young heroes, it is time to get started."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20J05chpvP
All Might interrupted the socializing since he couldn't stay in his hero form for too long.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXGXhU5Wdh
Ida: "Sensei, this is the same site we used for our entrance exams. Will we be doing cityscape maneuvers again?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7MY6mgLGz
All Might: "Close! What we’ll be doing will involve indoor combat scenarios and outdoor survival."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOETDHKpmOg
All Might: “You must be able to adapt to both scenarios as they come up. To that end, we have come up with a new combat exercise that suits the number of students.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE3aGCrXxx
Tsuyu: "So no basic training?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlMqWoBSDz
All Might: "Practical experience will teach you that! The distinction here is that you won't be fighting disposable robots but each other!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwqy1z8uSQ
Some were surprised by the news while others were thrilled. Izuku could feel the burning glare aimed at him. He dared to send one back at his longtime bully and former friend.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHosSSKADp
They stared at each other as the fire of their past itches to ignite into a frenzy. But All Might cuts in first.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRHgSEimbi
All Might: “My Young Heroes, prepare for the 5v5v5 Combat and Survival Trial! Pick a card out of here to determine your teams.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlXGvSaqGc
One by one, everyone picked a card from the black box All Might had. In the end, everyone had either a green, red, or white card. Before the questions could bombard him, All Might explained.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTMeqeRaCy
All Might: “Reds will be the Villains, Greens the Heroes and Whites the Civilians.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEGGh48KjH
All Might: “Villains need to capture all Civilians while protecting their bomb at base camp.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS5NGlw1eX
All Might: “Heroes need to save all Civilians and bring them back to base camp while capturing the enemy bomb. You can ignore the Villains and focus on those objectives, but that will lose you points. The Villains will still be at large in this case.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFbvn8thVl
Momo: “That means in order to get high marks-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JWFFwjh4J
Uraraka: “We have to save the Civilians, bring them back to base safe, capture the bombs and beat the Villains!?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySIe90nTK0
All Might: “Yes, hero work is rarely easy, and the odds are often stacked against you. This is a lesson you must learn early.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ux5RlThCR
That’s putting it lightly. The Villain team is… stacked.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwbMDehImX
Villains: Bakugo, Ida, Shoto, Mina, and… Kiri.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUkIWgNaky
Izuku looked at his little sister, and she at him.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH9pE1QfVS
Hero: Izuku, Uraraka, Sero, Kirishima, and Momo.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPEGdIr017
Kiri: “Onii… ”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoL5s6ZUuW
Izuku: “It’s alright, Kiri. It’s just training.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZFamjjjU1
Kiri: “But I don’t… want to fight you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTDKDKcdMD
Izuku: “You have to.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUfhocch2j
Kiri: “But-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG33R0O4ry
Izuku: “Don’t go easy on Kiri. Think of it like how Fubuki fought me. This will help us become even better heroes.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CXdba4JYB
Kiri: “Are you… sure?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqidTkKprJ
Izuku: “Yes! Even if we’re on opposite sides now, we’ll still be together, improving as heroes.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbJkrVaXnz
Kiri: “… Nh.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH5RCSPP2L
Kiri nods, and her worry dissipates. But Izuku can still feel she’ll try to avoid him. It’s probably for the best, because he knows who he’ll face during this.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZA0EhDADg
If Bakugo’s maddening grin was anything to go by.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND2QJVgPa3
Jiro: “Okay, that’s all good and all. But what should the Civilians be doing?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3tzFUNvrw
Civilians: Jiro, Shoji, Denki, Tokoyami, and Tsuyu
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH2fypMcBd
All Might: “Survival is a skill every hero must know. Your task is to evade the Villains as long as possible until the Heroes arrive.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYADWLP0dD
Denki looks to Ida and Kiri before sighing.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCu4ROlyb4
Denki: “We’re doomed.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFJXbJoJIe
All Might: “Go to your assigned areas in the city my young heroes! When you see the flare, the trial will begin!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc2U98pEYN
Izuku takes a deep breath before taking a step towards his first major battle.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡint8cL9s83
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRPwbqbAzC
I want to say thank you for reading, following, and reviewing this story. It motivated me to use my holiday time to bring you another batch of chapters. Sad about my other story, it seems to be falling into obscurity.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep3m6pg3PA
I’ll focus on this since it’s what the people want.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyzbfxPIna
Now, I want to say that I don’t plan to have Kiri x Izuku happen. I’m tempted, but I don’t think Izuku would go for it. Still, I think I played with the idea too much. Even I’m starting to get annoyed by the misunderstanding.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ccb44Ja0p
I will break the it after this battle so the real ship can begin. As for Kiri’s feelings on the matter, we’ll see.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKKVuZqlva
On another note, after doing more detailed outlines for later arcs, I’m starting to regret including the Phoenix. The more I write and plan, the more I want to focus on the ground level of the hero society.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzQLiULb1b
Much of it will expand and explore the themes that the original story covered. But that means the Phoenix has been bent to fit that, which is difficult. Primordial Vortex, you had the right idea not involving the actual Cosmic Entity.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltF5FyAKOc
But that’s life; I’ll figure it out and give you a story that can stand proudly next to the original. That’s if life doesn’t decide to bend me over a counter again.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAERiRevPbK
Until next time.
