Izuku wanted this day to be normal, but life had other plans.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj05YrzDtRl
First, she may deny it, but he can tell that Kiri is frustrated with the current situation. She still clings to him during the night but keeps her distance during school.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfIfiSZnvc
Why?
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG5FfGWhll
The still awkward tension between him and Momo. It’s so bad that Izuku had to be told multiple times to pay attention.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO4urxVd6u
The boy is tempted to just use telepathy, but that would only make things worse. So he suffered through class, said his goodbyes to an avoidant Kiri, and went to All Might with Momo.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z8u7Nrwgu
No words were spoken, which seemed like the nail in the coffin of this-
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SsDnnCBm5
Momo: “Midoriya.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOveNUI0u5Q
Izuku: “Y-Y-Yes!?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIygXf9bfi
Momo: “You… can relax. I’ve thought about what you told me yesterday.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ow9BB1V0Y
Yep, here it comes. His first rejection. Well, at least he still has-
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0brU8loLbo
Momo: “I don’t want to give you up.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z5yqh3NRq
Izuku: “… What?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBZcgiKCfs
Momo: “I find the whole situation to be… strange to say the least. But if you’re still undecided, then I will try to help you come to my preferred choice.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSqh0zHk1y
Before he can fully grasp what she’s saying, Momo leans down and kisses Izuku’s cheek.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC86LY6zCYc
Momo: “I hope Tae understands.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvh595YpfT
Face sprinkled red, Momo makes her escape while Izuku’s brain reboots.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LADKnxedV
Izuku: ‘How did I end up having two girls fighting for me?’
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj10lXi8s7
The better question is what he should do about it. A question for another time, perhaps; right now they need to get Momo used to One For All.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFvVQS800l
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzepuBb7Sj
Recovery Girl: "You blockhead."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T8HZy0p30
Recovery Girl groaned when she was told what had happened yesterday. All Might, Izuku, and Momo were in her officer; apparently she will be the one checking Momo’s current physical state.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFuV7DJXBU
Recovery Girl: "Why didn't you tell me about this yesterday?"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGPB8yd6De
All Might: "I’m sorry, it slipped my mind. Besides, you couldn’t have checked it until today anyway."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI7PY1m8il
Recovery Girl: "Hmph. Luckily, I sense nothing wrong, Yaoyorozu-chan. I think she’s ready for the real tests.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR3uqLOc2D
The group headed towards Ground Beta, the site of the Battle Trails. Izuku couldn’t help but feel… nostalgic. It hasn’t been that long since the trails, but everything was so much more… simple back then.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97a7bFNed1
Shaking away the reverie, he refocused on the current situation. He and Momo were standing in the middle of the street, with All Might, Principal Nezu, and Recovery Girl nearby.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0BV0ESDro
Momo: "Besides Midoriya’s family, is this everyone who knows of One For All?"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD36lt5C0fh
All Might: "There are a few others that you need to know about. One of my personal friends on the police force knows. His name is Naomasa Tsukauchi. The other two were my only two sidekicks: David Shield and Sir Nighteye."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCXW0DN2Fa
Momo: "I see. Judging from how you said that, I'm assuming there's at least one other I don't need to know about."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemNqY5Ehhs
Nezu: "Rest assured, we are doing everything in our power to make sure that never becomes relevant."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWFRbIoDSO
But Momo had heard enough. Her mind whirred as she pieced it together.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7LneWgO2l
Momo: "The villain who injured you."
All Might: "I forgot your brilliance was one of the reasons I chose you. Yes. My arch nemesis, you could say. I’m… sure he died in the battle, but you can never be too sure… "
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNHbYFBkes
Momo looked at Izuku, and he shook his head.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sClnDJcMl
Momo: "I'll be honest. I don't appreciate being given One For All without all of the facts."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4D7T1Iq9S
Izuku: "Me either… "
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ691E37n0oH
All Might: "I'm sorry. But if he IS still alive, I will ensure neither of you has to face him. THAT’S MY fight."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJGIyrCh9e
He had such an uncharacteristic look on his face that Momo and Izuku merely nodded.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMSdXfEmbs
Nezu: "Now, we luckily have access to this giant playground for you to test your new quirk. We will be helping you train with One For All as well as Creation here."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMVtEYssAg
Recovery Girl: "I am here for any complications. This blockhead has told you that there will be some blowback, yes?"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8o5nQyh0f
Momo nodded resolutely, trying to put the heavy subject behind her.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycEKMNtqfI
Momo: "Yes, though he didn't give any specifics."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2HNNfTphO
All Might: "As you know, my blows at full force are capable of causing cyclones and even changing the weather. I can also move faster than most vehicles ever created. Despite your impressive physical stats, a brick wall you are not."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ktgFGiEoS
He buffed up to emphasize the point, which got Izuku and Momo to laugh and drew smiles from the other two educators. Afterward, he deflated.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGBm54YjOe
All Might: "As such, I still expect to see at least some internal bruising and micro-fractures, and perhaps some torn muscle fibers here and there. We will work to get you to a level that you're capable of using it safely, and then you can build up to 100% from there."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHu6M684Q8
Momo nodded resolutely and started walking deeper into the city. The other four stayed back, mostly so that they wouldn't be anywhere near her when she used One For All for the first time.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQq9Te69wc
They had no idea what her 100% would look like.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEilzonpsAl
Momo stood in the middle of an intersection and took a deep breath as the wind blew her hair around. She exhaled and took a fairly amateurish kickboxing stance. She was a much better armed fighter than unarmed, though she wasn't entirely untaught in that field. That would be something she would likely need to put more focus on now.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WIzZbGrug
She reached down, ignoring Creation for the first time in her life and reaching for One For All instead. She allowed it to engulf her right arm and immediately realized that was silly and spread it through her entire body.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLfLX355nu
Immediately, red lightning started crackling across her body. Preparation done, Momo let out a strong right cross down the street.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMVFb12HmR
The result was a gigantic shockwave that shattered windows and bent light posts as it surged forward. But that was the least of it; even cars were picked up and thrown down the street.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lUwP3UDYa
Back where she had left the other four, there were smiles all around as they saw the result of her first attempt. And then they heard her screams of agony. Their smiles dropped off, and before any of the other three could even think, Izuku was gone in an emerald flash.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOHNclhH6z
Izuku: "Momo!"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8DwVDAuiU
Appearing next to her kneeling form, he gasped. Momo's entire arm, from shoulder to fingers, was shattered. The skin was a dull red with multiple open scars down her arm, leaking blood. The limb was spasming, and he realized her bones had to be shattered as well. It looked like a bomb had gone off under her skin.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gkcWJzbjm
And she was howling in agony, tears pouring down her face. Izuku jumped at her in a panic, the desire to help and heal her exploding in his chest.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJQoWcFadS
Like when another loved one was badly hurt, his quirk responded to his strong desire. Green flames burst from the hand that was holding her and latched onto her wounds.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHm3HHfcnQ
Momo’s screams petered off, replaced by a long, drawn-out moan of relief.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWDr5IDneg
All Might: "Yaoyoro…zu?"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMU1C4o9Nq
All Might and Recovery Girl blinked, their shout of worry trailing off as they sped into the area. They both saw how damaged her arm was whenever the flickers showed it off. But it was visibly getting better.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWVuJDnG4M
Finally noticing what was happening, Izuku focused on his flames. He dares not move or try to guide it, in fear of ruining this miracle. It was slow. MUCH slower than using it on himself, and just as stamina-draining on him… but it was working!
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW9g4Eq3Xe
They watched in awe as the flames healed Momo’s arm. When it was over, she was cradling her arm in dumbfounded awe.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUDR7QnArL
Momo: "It… it's healed?"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7S2j2KmK9
All Might: "YOU CAN HEAL?!"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOyH1fhQrc
Izuku: "I CAN HEAL?!"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1n4tnKbIl
Yeah, and Recovery Girl looked like she was about to weep tears of joy over it.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdVuGzhJ4r
Recovery Girl: "He can heal!"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOfHNqNtuE
It was a that moment that Izuku felt a chill go down his spine.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutYTN5U8hh
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rXadJGh2O
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ187JeA4DEa
Toshinori had his head in his hands as Izuku and Momo finished recounting what had happened and what he had seen.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay8mOPKPEf
All Might: "That is FAR above and beyond the blowback I expected. My word, your arm was all but ready to come off!"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tt7O3QkWg
Recovery Girl had finished checking on Momo, and the younger girl had created a blanket for herself. If only to keep Izuku from worrying, she had a calming cup of tea in her hand, which was doing wonders for her nerves.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2xrWYlDTN
Momo: "I… I don't think I've ever been so scared. It was just… so exhilarating… and then it wasn't. I was feeling the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. I couldn't create anything to help me… I couldn't even think due to how much it hurt."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m8ozQEogw
She reached out to Izuku, who was nearby. He didn’t hesitate to take her hand.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxBUwibUEb
Momo: "You saved me again…"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNxHM3tSZa
There was no mistaking the adoration in her voice. Izuku went atomic red as she weaved her fingers together with his.
Toshinori almost smiled, but her words weighed heavy on him.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjk1UAHOoP
All Might: "I'm sorry, Yaoyorozu-san… I truly never intended to have you hurt like that. No one would look down on you if you wished to rid yourself of it after such an ordeal. Maybe… Maybe One For All has just grown… too strong. Perhaps it should die with me."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMJvDGRwXC
Momo swallowed but shook her head.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNTrUTJBYO
Momo: "If I did, my words to you would be meaningless. I can't let myself fall after my first hurdle."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPmd6zmpns
She trembled for a moment before getting up.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfpALHFfbt
Izuku: “Are you sure?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBjeyxS7j0
Momo: “Yes, I… want to try again. I’m not afraid, as long as you’re here.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe8pR95qTo
With that, Momo let go of Izuku and walked a few paces away. She reached out to One For All again, but this time demanded far less power. Justa single percent, dialing it WAY back.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIncBAQTby
This time, her skin just started to glow with an inner light. There was no lightning this time, just some glimmering veins shining.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8D8kXXpm8
She breathed out, took a few steps, and began to run. She moved a little bit faster than she was accustomed to, so she stopped for a moment and increased it by another percent.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSIu3oIe8a
The shine emanating from her increased, and again, it was totally manageable. So, she doubled it to four percent. Here was where she started feeling some strain, and it was where she capped things off.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU4jkquxAd
The crimson lightning was back, crackling merrily around her. She leapt forward and felt the world blur around her. She covered a hundred meters in a flash, coming to a stop and stumbling, almost faceplanting before regaining her balance. An exhilarated, somewhat shaky giggle escaped her.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO5P1elTic
Toshinori and the others either gaped or smiled proudly.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpyYiB6eQH
All Might: "Oh my… oh MY… GOODNESS!"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNKYObINDV
Izuku: "That was fantastic, Momo!"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD1yVjqNYs
Izuku sped toward her and wrapped her up in a hug. She hugged him back happily, pressing into him tightly. And she knew exactly what she was doing as he realized what he just did, stiffening.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23WWyzhs6X
She suppressed a giggle. Maybe it wouldn’t be as hard as she thought to help Izuku make the choice.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLMA7C1QWJ
Not wanting to push too hard, she pulled back.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGhBoQK1qu
Momo: "Thank you."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlck1P56G9
She smiled brilliantly at him and returned it, despite the red on his cheeks.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBFay8dqsW
Izuku: “T-The lightning was really cool too. I-I wonder if you can do a-anything with it."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtltH8c3CR
Momo: "Any ideas?"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cqNyipnnK
Izuku: “Just a crazy one. And it would for sure confirm if my theory on Creation is right."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWlLVqdWnm
She blinked, wondering what he meant. But he didn't elaborate, merely continuing to smile at her. She let out a little pout before thinking it through. It only took a few seconds, and her eyes widened until she was gaping at him with a dropped jaw.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJithPUeI6o
Momo: "Wait, you don't think-"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylbRIa5321
His smile turned into a smirk. She bit her knuckle before holding her arm out. She activated One For All, and the lightning engulfed her before she also used Creation. The lightning started focusing on her hand and elongated into a long rod before the glow disappeared, revealing both her utterly flummoxed face and a perfect Bō staff held firmly in her hand.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qTG4nRwcB
Izuku: "YES!"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eEMan7kfp
Momo: "Oh my god! I didn't even feel a tiny drain on my lipids. What was your theory?!"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMkK87kPiw
Izuku: "You remember how the classic example of mischaracterizing quirks is hydrokinesis? The one we read about. How some people have quirks that allow them to draw moisture from the air rather than producing it from their bodies?"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnhuorZ3Et
Momo: "Of course! It wasn’t surprising. We don't have machines to tell us what our quirks are. We can only go by our experiences with them."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuSNSPP9A3
Izuku: "Right! Since you lost weight, it was natural to assume it worked via direct conversion of lipids to whatever you needed. But that's just the thing; you weren't turning lipids into matter at all! You never were!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXCvSLMTKx
Izuku started pacing, excited to be proved right.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC0yCQmPqk
Izuku: “I think, and I feel like you just proved, that the lipids were just the fuel in some sort of high-energy reaction that gave off extreme amounts of power! Like how fusing two hydrogen gets you one helium atom and a lot of excess energy! You then use that energy to reconstitute matter! Like a mini big bang every time you use your quirk!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg0KfiT1xI
Momo: “No way…”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2C9HV82VC
Izuku: “That was why you could make something like a cannon when you don't weigh anywhere near that much! And we just gave you a gigantic source of energy. If only you absorbed sunlight! We could rename your quirk to 'Star Forge!'”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEhaaHSfB7
Momo: “Midoriya… ”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9lhRsqRsy
This was… more than just One For All. Izuku pretty much gave her the keys to darn near unlimited growth of her quirk. The sky is the limit!
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VmPjYBTU2
So of course, she hugged him tightly and whispered her gratitude.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAHwVHM3qb
Momo: “Thank you, I won’t let this gift go to waste.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuHJSU7pRj
Izuku: “I know it won’t; you’ll do great.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI77PCvRhj
Recovery Girl: “Ahem.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKN67VYLGO
Remembering that there are other people around, the duo separate.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTQUBvc32W
All Might: “Excellently done, young Yaoyorozu. You already have gotten such a grasp of One For All, and it’s only been a day!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAQl6UoUn5
Momo: “Thank you. But I only can handle four percent for now. That is why I have a favor to ask, Midoriya.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfque2gPjm
Izuku: “Favor?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEUU0lZLUU
Momo: “Yes, it’s related to how you can manipulate things on the atomic level.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHGSyP3asc
All Might: “He can do that?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb09bSC2Hi5
Nezu: “Oh yes. I did wonder how you turned Todoroki’s ice into water like that. Fascinating.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIQvmYgVDV
All Might: “Midoriya, your quirk is getting kind of scary.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmCiOly5Dj
A flash of intense self-hatred and anxiety later, he responded.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFDV6DBi1O
Izuku: “Don’t worry, there won’t be any more surprises.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUZHmUl80W
Recovery Girl: “What about the healing?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewpaCRL1Gi
Izuku: “… Besides that. Anyway, what about it, Yaoyorozu?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLZVQ1aLcD
Momo: “Well, after our training match, you told me you used it to optimize your body. Now that we know you can heal others, maybe you can do that for me.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWe1cGllRu
Izuku: “I… don’t know. Just one wrong move and… ”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK8NwSe0Lr
Momo: “You trusted me with One for All; trusting you with this is the least I can do.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnni5OGI96
Izuku: “… I’ll think about it.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8BT16HFn1
Recovery Girl: “That’s all well and good, but can we return to how he can heal?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrnpSbrL1M
All Might: “You won’t let that go, will you?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY2jBa4i8q
Recovery Girl: “Never.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVblIWxgdkX
Izuku: “I don’t know how I did it; I just… really wanted to help Yaoyorozu. I guess that part of my quirk just… responded.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y964xZQHg
Nezu: “Fascinating, it’s almost like your quirk is alive.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXxG2BwujM
Izuku: “It’s not.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEE6W4htUv
The principal, someone not known to show any fear, felt his hair stand on end.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW93NWi2Xti
Momo: “I’m sure it’s something you train. If you can help me without issue, you can heal using atomic manipulation instead if the flames don’t work.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieOlHdWHKp
Izuku: “I suppose. I’ll try.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulX9D1cXji
Momo: “So… can you come over to my house again? Maybe tomorrow night before internships.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq9szUHzTe
All Might & Recovery Girl: ‘How bold!!’
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs91DAgvGIV
Izuku: “I-I-I…
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡganwXJyXFN
By all that is good, he wants to say yes. But that wouldn’t be right, not to Kiri.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTKcYjCZ0C
Izuku: “I-I can’t.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewnAY0qA7s
Momo: “Oh… ”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlo0m6LFpB
Her face falls, and the heart cracks a little. There is only one reason why he would refuse.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTfucOJgmR
Izuku: “It’s just… it would be-”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiiukJDX0A
Momo: “I understand. We can do it some other time.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFVntPKSVQ
She gives him a forced smile and accepts that it won’t be that easy after all.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcolbZtNDE
Recovery Girl: “Young love, as complicated as I remember.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRwLJNcM6t
All Might: “Speaking of home, it’s time for you two to get going. We can’t keep you here too long. But be sure to continue to practice, Yaoyorozu; if you ever need pointers, you can come to us.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFPyqlQwSg
Momo: “I will. Thank you all for everything.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K01lA0pkl
The group disperses and heads to where they need to go. Since they’re going in the same general direction, Momo and Izuku were left alone together.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKpIAaA90H
Wanting to fill the silence, the boy asked a question.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bUw0MAQBy
Izuku: “S-So, who are you interning with?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfRtEogp8H
Momo smiled before giving her answer.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOHReEyS76
Momo: “I was going to intern with Uwabami, but after gaining One For All, I think I’ll go for Edgeshot.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrUluESrjH
Izuku nearly tripped over his foot when hearing that.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFzJjEIEu6
Izuku: ‘The same as Kiri… ’
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElb3SHfl4B
Izuku: “Why?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW18zwNN04z
Momo: “I think he can help me become a better fighter. I can’t always rely on my creations. To be honest, I’m surprised he was interested in me. So I don’t want to waste this opportunity.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwevrtJizRC
Izuku: “T-That’s a good idea. I’m sure he’ll-”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JPR27tFGw
The hairs on Izuku’s head stand on end; a familiar presence makes itself known at the school gates.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepZ03KLyu5
Izuku: “Yaoyorozu, can you go on without me? I need to talk with a friend.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV4osgFuIv
She looks between Izuku and the other student.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkc0LOsfbH
Momo: “Are you sure? Is something wrong?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BAnCdYwvj
Izuku: “It’s alright. Just something I forgot to do.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc2fYXuhpj
She can tell that smile was forced. But something was warning her to not interfere in this.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXTq9OratT
Momo: “Text me tonight so I know you’re alright.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaEIWmC0oV
Izuku: “O-Of course.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFdddOtOl1
The fact he has a girl’s number will never cease to amaze him. He almost fainted when they exchanged contacts during their training weeks.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb3wy2bBe4
With her worries lessened, Momo made her way out of the school grounds. That left Izuku and his first apostle.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37oHDmweqa
Shinso: “We need to talk.”
