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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLxakQ5U3X
However, there’s a problem.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz4nf1XwoH
Kiri: “Nmu… ”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UF9CqgCkQ
This is his room, and she shouldn’t be here. Izuku fought down his blush and sucked in his panic.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfCxWH67F7
Izuku: ‘Did she sleepwalk?’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvn6ezBgmv
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyKwxxJAtl
With no choice, Izuku prodded at her cheek tenderly, careful not to startle her.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHOSZr0el8
Izuku: "Kiri?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvqriGCW9w
Kiri: "Nn?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI36vpcOquk
The little girl let out a small yawn.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Sg9mZUNj
Kiri: "Nii-chan… ”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2vBNew9dx
Izuku: "Y-Yeah, it's me. W-What are you doing here?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgFWirpI6s
Kiri: “Wanted… to be close to you.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmWircoSes
Izuku: “But… we can’t sleep in the same bed. You should’ve stayed in your room. Did you sleepwalk?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kPLD0aiKD
Kiri: “No, I couldn’t sleep… until I was with you.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyeHtZQB45
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rEW97C5s7
Izuku: “Kiri, we have to clear up the misunderstanding at school.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzdyBbQHLn
Kiri: “What misunderstanding?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YexBfeWzf
Izuku: “That you’re my… girlfriend.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0JBMNfK5V
Kiri: “But I’m a girl, and you’re my friend.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXOMQ7EhNf
Izuku: “Yes, but a girlfriend is something different. It’s… only for couples.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOivvAgATAJ
Kiri: “Couples?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nVk6aKVDB
Izuku: “Y-Yes, those who love each other.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUOlJQqMrq
Kiri: “But… I do love you.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOLKfNqq9Q
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr9PFDfRef
A reaction that made Kiri feel… strange again. More good this time.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzPiGsZKjw
Izuku: “I-I-I know you do, b-but that’s familial love, not romantic.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DSmJT0zlB
Kiri: “What’s… the difference?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP06X1z5hyX
Izuku: “Um, one is for your family, and the other is for someone you… intend to marry.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzofJE74ru
Kiri: “Mmmmmm, can’t we get married?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk15HqbqwYB
Izuku: “W-What!? No!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5yhW5bngq
Kiri: “Why?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hHs1dea8p
Izuku: “Because you’re like my sister! Siblings can’t get married!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WGxbHdwWg
Kiri: “Why not?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRVZfJTLkI
Izuku: “Because… because… ”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszqC80oxV6
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUW6fvvTki
But still, he shouldn’t see her that way. If Kiri is okay, then maybe-
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeffwTytaL
Izuku shakes his head violently, banishing those bad thoughts.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBmafN3yRl
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?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEFdaNEVBh
Kiri: “… Okay.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzbUurll7b
He can tell she still doesn’t really get it, but this will have to do for now.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fe1CSnIfF
Izuku: “Good, now we have to get ready for school. We can’t be late.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0DpcSAdN7
Kiri: “Nh.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTfYIb6mTW
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83MeTDPmmp
After running to school, because they were almost late and for exercise, the duo got breakfast and then attended their first class.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRvN50mFTz
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv5GhJSMaP
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!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQlVvY2mMO
‘So normal!’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbXmAJQlap
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrHLCsx8P7
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1OK1HyxBA
The group was pretty big; nearly the whole class was together. Much to Izuku’s delight, he was welcomed with open arms.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2GgrWDJ43
Izuku: ‘I never expected to get this many friends, all at once.’
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEUolgxka4
They group shared their names, the basics of their quirks, and complaints about schoolwork. You know, normal school life.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK7u9ibdCc
That did, however, leave little time to clear up the Kiri misunderstanding.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VCKPqgKo6
Regardless, that normalcy was coming to an end, for a special teacher was coming in for their next class.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzFHJ3RwHd
All Might: "I AM HERE…"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyfvoKov2G
Everyone's heads perked, and wide grins split their faces at the welcomed surprise.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAt7sdZSEL
All Might: "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GxEJ25D9I
"We have All Might as a teacher?!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcOwN6ytzz
The class erupted in excitement as All Might walked in, resplendent in his Silver Age costume.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQL98ePvgr
Mina: "Whoa, his style is so different! I swear I'm hearing a theme song right now!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFEXPuFnWg
Jiro: "You're not the only one."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoAY7PJJhA
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9VLrczOYV
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."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPv08WkE5P
He seemed to flex, and somehow managed to make a card appear in his hand.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxBtjuQEJA
All Might: "So let's get right into it! Your first class shall be… Combat Training!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDigUgjxkyY
The card had the word 'Battle' written on it.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMHvuvs8AK
Bakugo: "Combat?!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7ZG39TTrM
He was grinning broadly, beyond excited. With this, he could prove once and for all who’s on top.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWfFgzAmb4
All Might: "And for that you need these!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZaB0EIRW3
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 15.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCxZTjh6At
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7iyEpHkad
All Might: "In accordance with the Quirk Registry as well as your own written requests... here are your-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8MhkmnZSD
"COSTUMES!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOstPqXPIY
Nearly the whole class shouted in glee. They couldn't wait to see how all of them had turned out.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1llVExgqAO
All Might: "That's right! After you change, meet me at Ground Beta!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJVYJBuI36
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8UDL6EtGK
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIcii7v4ij
All Might: "They say the costume makes the hero, young ladies and gentlemen."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvS6rNzT9O
He eyed each of them and liked what he saw with most of the costumes.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0PCw4QFVi
All Might: "Be proud. From this moment on, you are HEROES!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv2qZ57a0B
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FcSFZPwvQ
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0yOdcsHFH
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVe2GDFenh
Inko: “Me and Fubuki have a surprise for you! Right, Fubuki?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaW3pZDxOa
Fubuki was pretty silent throughout dinner, but hearing her name finally brought her back to reality.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP799cvhsJ
Fubuki: “O-Oh, yes! I almost forgot, stay here, Izu!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oqxhJDGqV
Fubuki nearly ran out the door.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXb0vrqlzi
Izuku: “What is it?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU3vBiFBeU
Tatsumaki: “Something we made for when you were accepted into UA.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzDH7Pn5PJ
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.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUrkFKNark
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55VdFpCp5C
Fubuki: “I really hope you too like it. I spared no expense.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnLIfSvIrn
Izuku and Kiri got on their knees and opened the suitcases. Their eyes widen at the gift.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqkKVifqIE
Tatsumaki: “You’re heroes now; you have to look the part.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCf9LxsBnN
Izuku beamed a brilliant grin, which brought joy to those that saw it.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsATUkgEQFf
Izuku: “Thank you, for everything!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbaT9f7vHW
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcurMrd4Fh
Uraraka: "Woah! You two look amazing!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzFa560nFN
The gleeful cry from Ochaco drew all of their attention, and several more exclamations rang out.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvlZeJ51aL
Mina: "Wow, matching outfits!? So cute!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh5f7DkFYu
Mina's voice rang out as she started excitedly running around them, checking out every angle.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k6bGEWftx
Momo: "Quite cool. I like it a lot."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYZGa0LsvU
Momo smiled at him specifically, getting another luminescent blush from the shy boy.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXPycN0vsQ
Izuku: “T-Thank you.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHjSmG5jRy
Denki: "Jeez, looking at him makes my costume look like a crappy cosplay. I'm a bit intimidated."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q2mIPMHV2
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5GkNt3AlQ
Bakugo: “Tch.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD87oJ6sZj
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbdrR9tXTb
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmhBGBfV31
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkuBKTTLW7
Finally, an emerald sash rested on his hips for his Psi blade.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiBcvaczY4
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1ZiMcdlji
Together, they contrast but somehow still complement each other well.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6D8YkQy1J
Mina: “Aw, I’m so jealous. I wish I had a boyfriend I could have matching costumes with.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO18RcIRnN
Kiri: “Nh.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6GqeLuZnb
Izuku: “But-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70ro5cOweI
All Might: "Alright, my young heroes, it is time to get started."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sZWb6VT6d
All Might interrupted the socializing since he couldn't stay in his hero form for too long.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWXLJpyCBe
Ida: "Sensei, this is the same site we used for our entrance exams. Will we be doing cityscape maneuvers again?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoCtg8qk9v
All Might: "Close! What we’ll be doing will involve indoor combat scenarios and outdoor survival."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH3VQJw48z
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.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqvYt5Vwaw
Tsuyu: "So no basic training?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUvJSPJ6pK
All Might: "Practical experience will teach you that! The distinction here is that you won't be fighting disposable robots but each other!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYMJuHELbe
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9r3t3oyPr
They stared at each other as the fire of their past itches to ignite into a frenzy. But All Might cuts in first.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHurFDD1yP
All Might: “My Young Heroes, prepare for the 5v5v5 Combat and Survival Trial! Pick a card out of here to determine your teams.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaKHpdPoLg
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFjxpm99jX
All Might: “Reds will be the Villains, Greens the Heroes and Whites the Civilians.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowdImS55s9
All Might: “Villains need to capture all Civilians while protecting their bomb at base camp.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeGBVjkqFl
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.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rFgvf8N6Q
Momo: “That means in order to get high marks-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9qxFWxns0
Uraraka: “We have to save the Civilians, bring them back to base safe, capture the bombs and beat the Villains!?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGmKBQmfyi
All Might: “Yes, hero work is rarely easy, and the odds are often stacked against you. This is a lesson you must learn early.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBThEyEXhyT
That’s putting it lightly. The Villain team is… stacked.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLflDPRHX7
Villains: Bakugo, Ida, Shoto, Mina, and… Kiri.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EQlofp4hQ
Izuku looked at his little sister, and she at him.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRqPIKwH1p
Hero: Izuku, Uraraka, Sero, Kirishima, and Momo.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X0B7pksLK
Kiri: “Onii… ”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjUjwrumXR
Izuku: “It’s alright, Kiri. It’s just training.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs82VD1sC2
Kiri: “But I don’t… want to fight you.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPmta5PlAw
Izuku: “You have to.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomiWlbBOPt
Kiri: “But-”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkXYzcwBzl
Izuku: “Don’t go easy on Kiri. Think of it like how Fubuki fought me. This will help us become even better heroes.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc9zHxN3qe
Kiri: “Are you… sure?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVn6HmBlvv
Izuku: “Yes! Even if we’re on opposite sides now, we’ll still be together, improving as heroes.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3or8JhlzP
Kiri: “… Nh.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaWlAs4ZCH
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpXT3q0CCd
If Bakugo’s maddening grin was anything to go by.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvahHLqzb9
Jiro: “Okay, that’s all good and all. But what should the Civilians be doing?”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wqXAVAcXp
Civilians: Jiro, Shoji, Denki, Tokoyami, and Tsuyu
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHrZftWelh
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.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GskrWewW0
Denki looks to Ida and Kiri before sighing.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQpFbwJnXF
Denki: “We’re doomed.”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnUJPj94qw
All Might: “Go to your assigned areas in the city my young heroes! When you see the flare, the trial will begin!”
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8AvjQoo2I
Izuku takes a deep breath before taking a step towards his first major battle.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZhHaHAnds
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPUcckT1ek
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprTgtG9qKX
I’ll focus on this since it’s what the people want.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHK0RKOqiy
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymdU103cM6
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5liFYGcbhd
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ225jLLGmcq
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIC8Q4YytP
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJOlwHPQcK
Until next time.
