Izuku wanted this day to be normal, but life had other plans.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSRGcfCcje
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEAEXTLBUo
Why?
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlIsPuhrHY
The still awkward tension between him and Momo. It’s so bad that Izuku had to be told multiple times to pay attention.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4fKVpTVk1
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdTx9ROLPT
No words were spoken, which seemed like the nail in the coffin of this-
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6fe9N231F
Momo: “Midoriya.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIYzevuSST
Izuku: “Y-Y-Yes!?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W5NdRW9ax
Momo: “You… can relax. I’ve thought about what you told me yesterday.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJnvx4htA0
Yep, here it comes. His first rejection. Well, at least he still has-
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4vVSIbITK
Momo: “I don’t want to give you up.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW4OFtSgo9
Izuku: “… What?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS6avYbaSo
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjaSaPYQXZ
Before he can fully grasp what she’s saying, Momo leans down and kisses Izuku’s cheek.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NqN06rOQH
Momo: “I hope Tae understands.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA9yLf7eqZ
Face sprinkled red, Momo makes her escape while Izuku’s brain reboots.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj3BNeH2Zp
Izuku: ‘How did I end up having two girls fighting for me?’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD0UopVXij
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcQyccnORN
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNEi6C48fr
Recovery Girl: "You blockhead."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3kdMmK5lc
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5V3kkF0XB
Recovery Girl: "Why didn't you tell me about this yesterday?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlFle6ubFd
All Might: "I’m sorry, it slipped my mind. Besides, you couldn’t have checked it until today anyway."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorAXKSiXaO
Recovery Girl: "Hmph. Luckily, I sense nothing wrong, Yaoyorozu-chan. I think she’s ready for the real tests.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWEM3g7069
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppkrbRHMir
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FTVPXyxBg
Momo: "Besides Midoriya’s family, is this everyone who knows of One For All?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64X5rrVckF
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzElbS1GBqJ
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQeJzGSVA7
Nezu: "Rest assured, we are doing everything in our power to make sure that never becomes relevant."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MzXEodZWV
But Momo had heard enough. Her mind whirred as she pieced it together.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfWHaRXIn4
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… "
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GEaFa5HvS
Momo looked at Izuku, and he shook his head.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL2uLF1MO8
Momo: "I'll be honest. I don't appreciate being given One For All without all of the facts."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3iav9ERWC
Izuku: "Me either… "
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZWoOuJy9v
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v9W4uulqt
He had such an uncharacteristic look on his face that Momo and Izuku merely nodded.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0vgOcWTFx
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsKoVIDAdt
Recovery Girl: "I am here for any complications. This blockhead has told you that there will be some blowback, yes?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrReLvy3LXR
Momo nodded resolutely, trying to put the heavy subject behind her.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJKucxnuqM
Momo: "Yes, though he didn't give any specifics."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqOb6nmzxY
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD6TZ6lkwc
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMBbC9Juvq
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlbLAhxQ2o
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznHDqqxsNq
They had no idea what her 100% would look like.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygT7eAjCYO
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nN1M5sfgv
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeSGa0ECnC
Immediately, red lightning started crackling across her body. Preparation done, Momo let out a strong right cross down the street.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvctMnCXSUF
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp07cZZllc
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigEedlX6Qr
Izuku: "Momo!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJFFz2Qdl2
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV3cl6SNKb
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgU75pn2hh
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL427FtX4qT
Momo’s screams petered off, replaced by a long, drawn-out moan of relief.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc6txwUYLy
All Might: "Yaoyoro…zu?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqxHgiPUn6
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPMWZO1Qfj
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!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kQVtx2Xwe
They watched in awe as the flames healed Momo’s arm. When it was over, she was cradling her arm in dumbfounded awe.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu9pcTiR7L
Momo: "It… it's healed?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNVkn7mfQx
All Might: "YOU CAN HEAL?!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tvbvEn7Aw
Izuku: "I CAN HEAL?!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVDevGHQN6
Yeah, and Recovery Girl looked like she was about to weep tears of joy over it.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnic237GKw
Recovery Girl: "He can heal!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5dTbzkC9U
It was a that moment that Izuku felt a chill go down his spine.95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGJoPkuMDF
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGd6JaUaU3
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdghCCXDDTn
Toshinori had his head in his hands as Izuku and Momo finished recounting what had happened and what he had seen.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMO3aZwd47
All Might: "That is FAR above and beyond the blowback I expected. My word, your arm was all but ready to come off!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A7v6qx2by
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3ddqvBNHc
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltKkgBNmzX
She reached out to Izuku, who was nearby. He didn’t hesitate to take her hand.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsnIisiKU5
Momo: "You saved me again…"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEoAKRaXyD
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpbjNxFyjZ
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfXp5TIBPT
Momo swallowed but shook her head.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCtDCdJfVG
Momo: "If I did, my words to you would be meaningless. I can't let myself fall after my first hurdle."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3YiytpsCL
She trembled for a moment before getting up.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkCaMTHB0j
Izuku: “Are you sure?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZoJwjwfNg
Momo: “Yes, I… want to try again. I’m not afraid, as long as you’re here.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ32zJxp2Cu
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp7jMwpb4n
This time, her skin just started to glow with an inner light. There was no lightning this time, just some glimmering veins shining.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGXfugieto
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv26JZwl03
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H0Lu4k5GI
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMgijAsbTx
Toshinori and the others either gaped or smiled proudly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EANsOKRhN
All Might: "Oh my… oh MY… GOODNESS!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRHoaidA9L
Izuku: "That was fantastic, Momo!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVKBUSs7kS
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrBdBxTwlZ
She suppressed a giggle. Maybe it wouldn’t be as hard as she thought to help Izuku make the choice.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEgXHVtbws
Not wanting to push too hard, she pulled back.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN53ru21Wuu
Momo: "Thank you."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FjDcUfOiS
She smiled brilliantly at him and returned it, despite the red on his cheeks.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjqZjBhUT4
Izuku: “T-The lightning was really cool too. I-I wonder if you can do a-anything with it."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbaJzIvpD4
Momo: "Any ideas?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyDprJHFMD
Izuku: “Just a crazy one. And it would for sure confirm if my theory on Creation is right."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiN5MRxnCc
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQhGlnz7m4
Momo: "Wait, you don't think-"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6e0QBHbXs
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVZG7l8vKU
Izuku: "YES!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeSn8WQZyv
Momo: "Oh my god! I didn't even feel a tiny drain on my lipids. What was your theory?!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq8UUAevs8
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?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCnWn9rNWM
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEzmOnlxxq
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!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNElGKngdSw
Izuku started pacing, excited to be proved right.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHfX0rLu9l
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!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlyCFcOctg
Momo: “No way…”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDc3bkPvjd
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!'”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZbt1ThcC2
Momo: “Midoriya… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GjN0S4rlJ
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!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5mET43CGd
So of course, she hugged him tightly and whispered her gratitude.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAwkrRoFNK
Momo: “Thank you, I won’t let this gift go to waste.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vE4w3mhxC
Izuku: “I know it won’t; you’ll do great.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWcXMCTqb8
Recovery Girl: “Ahem.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxoZ712FMf
Remembering that there are other people around, the duo separate.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsx4fDPeNH
All Might: “Excellently done, young Yaoyorozu. You already have gotten such a grasp of One For All, and it’s only been a day!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvO4EmP6dq
Momo: “Thank you. But I only can handle four percent for now. That is why I have a favor to ask, Midoriya.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP3VH0r9jK
Izuku: “Favor?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeifciSxBnX
Momo: “Yes, it’s related to how you can manipulate things on the atomic level.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3bpktNNKg
All Might: “He can do that?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLUd78Nd6t
Nezu: “Oh yes. I did wonder how you turned Todoroki’s ice into water like that. Fascinating.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwYl5YfcHO
All Might: “Midoriya, your quirk is getting kind of scary.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOmcph7QP1
A flash of intense self-hatred and anxiety later, he responded.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAZlQ5fX0u
Izuku: “Don’t worry, there won’t be any more surprises.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT2QuVHxfF
Recovery Girl: “What about the healing?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6sdrWNI7M
Izuku: “… Besides that. Anyway, what about it, Yaoyorozu?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA7jrdyIDD
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdISujpgc19
Izuku: “I… don’t know. Just one wrong move and… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvNlgvIM36
Momo: “You trusted me with One for All; trusting you with this is the least I can do.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhoKcX2jBC
Izuku: “… I’ll think about it.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTk5fSJGI9
Recovery Girl: “That’s all well and good, but can we return to how he can heal?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy9b6FrPgu
All Might: “You won’t let that go, will you?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP3FGLlvA6
Recovery Girl: “Never.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLmbg1f9HT
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hcuQoDHXF
Nezu: “Fascinating, it’s almost like your quirk is alive.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvzU2J7ZkI
Izuku: “It’s not.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT9pj8tuo5
The principal, someone not known to show any fear, felt his hair stand on end.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJUSF54gcR
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTIbHvL4qe
Izuku: “I suppose. I’ll try.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDXcIIksN1
Momo: “So… can you come over to my house again? Maybe tomorrow night before internships.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIXifgwNnV
All Might & Recovery Girl: ‘How bold!!’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaM2UMxol1
Izuku: “I-I-I…
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPaWclq60Z
By all that is good, he wants to say yes. But that wouldn’t be right, not to Kiri.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtA84ULtrK
Izuku: “I-I can’t.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEdXduEL0o
Momo: “Oh… ”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmyBlZELV7
Her face falls, and the heart cracks a little. There is only one reason why he would refuse.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuN26j4hYK
Izuku: “It’s just… it would be-”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3WTO0UWzb
Momo: “I understand. We can do it some other time.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5Raa9u5XW
She gives him a forced smile and accepts that it won’t be that easy after all.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokYXVXtK02
Recovery Girl: “Young love, as complicated as I remember.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpYqIELllJ
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RwTxPRIJV
Momo: “I will. Thank you all for everything.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlx7l2Uhxg
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUTLBChC0R
Wanting to fill the silence, the boy asked a question.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn18GYcbdKY
Izuku: “S-So, who are you interning with?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUf7ZSt5k7
Momo smiled before giving her answer.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGf1Lh1JSc
Momo: “I was going to intern with Uwabami, but after gaining One For All, I think I’ll go for Edgeshot.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9VoEusAjx
Izuku nearly tripped over his foot when hearing that.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kAVnRoHtZ
Izuku: ‘The same as Kiri… ’
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWkzP5RiLw
Izuku: “Why?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIP50soFEJ
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD25hGm1eV
Izuku: “T-That’s a good idea. I’m sure he’ll-”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk16ElTlrvD
The hairs on Izuku’s head stand on end; a familiar presence makes itself known at the school gates.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRHstx58jJ
Izuku: “Yaoyorozu, can you go on without me? I need to talk with a friend.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGNFT9SPmQ
She looks between Izuku and the other student.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyY1anIeJg
Momo: “Are you sure? Is something wrong?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTs0fuzlg2
Izuku: “It’s alright. Just something I forgot to do.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHyp0M5pFz
She can tell that smile was forced. But something was warning her to not interfere in this.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5ZKdy8Ahn
Momo: “Text me tonight so I know you’re alright.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4XsSqmSFm
Izuku: “O-Of course.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY9WfILSmv
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHMLlfaQ1v
With her worries lessened, Momo made her way out of the school grounds. That left Izuku and his first apostle.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajor6HY1T4
Shinso: “We need to talk.”
