Izuku wanted this day to be normal, but life had other plans.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJqfjNdwyr
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLRAQKIQx0
Why?
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAOk9fzUL9
The still awkward tension between him and Momo. It’s so bad that Izuku had to be told multiple times to pay attention.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QawFEkyby
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYovg5GTmx7
No words were spoken, which seemed like the nail in the coffin of this-
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVpFmekFDz
Momo: “Midoriya.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjUP8qUXbD
Izuku: “Y-Y-Yes!?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadwLillkRe
Momo: “You… can relax. I’ve thought about what you told me yesterday.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOtSxX2uEy
Yep, here it comes. His first rejection. Well, at least he still has-
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk43Scm7nL
Momo: “I don’t want to give you up.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL29NXTC9R
Izuku: “… What?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB1jOH1GQz
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.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD9Qqnfxhu
Before he can fully grasp what she’s saying, Momo leans down and kisses Izuku’s cheek.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ364Q0WqgXv
Momo: “I hope Tae understands.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONu0BFfCHe
Face sprinkled red, Momo makes her escape while Izuku’s brain reboots.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszMMNK5EPA
Izuku: ‘How did I end up having two girls fighting for me?’
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRiaEBo4q4
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl77m6v2gQw
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLn3DwZpRl
Recovery Girl: "You blockhead."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq1HDXC1Uh
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lrHmtD6vV
Recovery Girl: "Why didn't you tell me about this yesterday?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGsBNfDAti
All Might: "I’m sorry, it slipped my mind. Besides, you couldn’t have checked it until today anyway."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgdipSTnhL
Recovery Girl: "Hmph. Luckily, I sense nothing wrong, Yaoyorozu-chan. I think she’s ready for the real tests.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDvB3ysbJN
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iHYENFk1t
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo84BpAt78
Momo: "Besides Midoriya’s family, is this everyone who knows of One For All?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgysxbW1gGG
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."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Khz0DY2r
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."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg7sxZZkla
Nezu: "Rest assured, we are doing everything in our power to make sure that never becomes relevant."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1nfXvQn7Q
But Momo had heard enough. Her mind whirred as she pieced it together.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMinfTeAIt
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… "
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrNQvLFgaP
Momo looked at Izuku, and he shook his head.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1LUKUH34C
Momo: "I'll be honest. I don't appreciate being given One For All without all of the facts."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENsjx3Wog2
Izuku: "Me either… "
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTo9n55AKP
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."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHGipLIAno
He had such an uncharacteristic look on his face that Momo and Izuku merely nodded.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTteDxbLzN1
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."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS6LEXoHTa
Recovery Girl: "I am here for any complications. This blockhead has told you that there will be some blowback, yes?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GNTchNOp0
Momo nodded resolutely, trying to put the heavy subject behind her.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2ntssj6wk
Momo: "Yes, though he didn't give any specifics."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74oMAlVNOi
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."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vZfE58W6K
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU0tAUoCqa
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."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHXyuAdwDA
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HFRPooO9D
They had no idea what her 100% would look like.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJx4Z1jMus
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwHy8Jo7sa
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcguISPf2ZY
Immediately, red lightning started crackling across her body. Preparation done, Momo let out a strong right cross down the street.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVyVlu3M9G
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnvnSr00bW
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIlPxuS6WO
Izuku: "Momo!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0FunlYazT
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiWQGRragq
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLOlvG5nD5
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IYwSKPy8M
Momo’s screams petered off, replaced by a long, drawn-out moan of relief.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9DKMCzAqA
All Might: "Yaoyoro…zu?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4gfgE0d9v
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOT3JZup0n
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!
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcOb5EUh7i
They watched in awe as the flames healed Momo’s arm. When it was over, she was cradling her arm in dumbfounded awe.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ167aTeY2oY
Momo: "It… it's healed?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz89wEw0gQV
All Might: "YOU CAN HEAL?!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnxurUcQ18
Izuku: "I CAN HEAL?!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd41qb7gaf
Yeah, and Recovery Girl looked like she was about to weep tears of joy over it.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglPUZXMbzL
Recovery Girl: "He can heal!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65m7kEUPF0
It was a that moment that Izuku felt a chill go down his spine.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE8UBhznLh
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlw0ueKRft
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBCYF7l0LN
Toshinori had his head in his hands as Izuku and Momo finished recounting what had happened and what he had seen.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaX5ZwnUzZ
All Might: "That is FAR above and beyond the blowback I expected. My word, your arm was all but ready to come off!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyNZKA38NX
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uQdNkv61F
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."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YQodsVmE4
She reached out to Izuku, who was nearby. He didn’t hesitate to take her hand.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDhLNcSEiJ
Momo: "You saved me again…"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AMHMD6zuP
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgqGuuzXLi
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."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhnF7EVn3f
Momo swallowed but shook her head.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg4W0azZ2S
Momo: "If I did, my words to you would be meaningless. I can't let myself fall after my first hurdle."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pFVoRPpou
She trembled for a moment before getting up.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7ss2IEPKq
Izuku: “Are you sure?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUzvAoJzdg
Momo: “Yes, I… want to try again. I’m not afraid, as long as you’re here.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8UawyiQEW
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugLsDiW2WB
This time, her skin just started to glow with an inner light. There was no lightning this time, just some glimmering veins shining.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHww3xKRDjn
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ae2RNYgOF
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcQuswkBIs
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7C0fDQM5v
Toshinori and the others either gaped or smiled proudly.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JjAq4NFfS
All Might: "Oh my… oh MY… GOODNESS!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvCb4xAJ1d
Izuku: "That was fantastic, Momo!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe63Jh2oMwe
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4f75FaNpV
She suppressed a giggle. Maybe it wouldn’t be as hard as she thought to help Izuku make the choice.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QikkyrDHY
Not wanting to push too hard, she pulled back.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU0rG5JYs2
Momo: "Thank you."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iT9fZV3Ev
She smiled brilliantly at him and returned it, despite the red on his cheeks.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmtogeYXuT
Izuku: “T-The lightning was really cool too. I-I wonder if you can do a-anything with it."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG29ZvTJjsQ
Momo: "Any ideas?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ3QtaXNEh
Izuku: “Just a crazy one. And it would for sure confirm if my theory on Creation is right."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHsroGXfim
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FKNxSmKAH
Momo: "Wait, you don't think-"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIaKs6BHAh
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9dyb8dVzV
Izuku: "YES!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm8aI5z6ye
Momo: "Oh my god! I didn't even feel a tiny drain on my lipids. What was your theory?!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMcXjy2zuT
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?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL9kNmATNt
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."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6zsZtvlkE
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!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LbQ99p1at
Izuku started pacing, excited to be proved right.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVIkzWWT0n
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!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoqAtvl8NX
Momo: “No way…”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCArYPXldz
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!'”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW9Wtro09l
Momo: “Midoriya… ”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg6uculOwK
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!
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJuSiOyGQJ
So of course, she hugged him tightly and whispered her gratitude.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb04h5Pq5QJ
Momo: “Thank you, I won’t let this gift go to waste.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vJOQjJgrg
Izuku: “I know it won’t; you’ll do great.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPXbtZZol0
Recovery Girl: “Ahem.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xSrrISd2x
Remembering that there are other people around, the duo separate.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqCKhzaGKA
All Might: “Excellently done, young Yaoyorozu. You already have gotten such a grasp of One For All, and it’s only been a day!”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5BjF9I11S
Momo: “Thank you. But I only can handle four percent for now. That is why I have a favor to ask, Midoriya.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmCYlOhjn6
Izuku: “Favor?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZepQLK5j8
Momo: “Yes, it’s related to how you can manipulate things on the atomic level.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdNAKceCPq
All Might: “He can do that?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyzRU3QcT8
Nezu: “Oh yes. I did wonder how you turned Todoroki’s ice into water like that. Fascinating.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB85fYuoOWs
All Might: “Midoriya, your quirk is getting kind of scary.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARbJZHWe7t
A flash of intense self-hatred and anxiety later, he responded.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmEHnbBZoL
Izuku: “Don’t worry, there won’t be any more surprises.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvwxgBM8co
Recovery Girl: “What about the healing?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoYB61ynTB
Izuku: “… Besides that. Anyway, what about it, Yaoyorozu?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZT3UqjXnL
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.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5TquRLIVI
Izuku: “I… don’t know. Just one wrong move and… ”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrIzDKmynU
Momo: “You trusted me with One for All; trusting you with this is the least I can do.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIi3b5bbRk
Izuku: “… I’ll think about it.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkaNCAIaY3
Recovery Girl: “That’s all well and good, but can we return to how he can heal?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnG0UYAkgB
All Might: “You won’t let that go, will you?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpyCUAnmIr
Recovery Girl: “Never.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4DAJAQA6P
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.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImPDQF1oks
Nezu: “Fascinating, it’s almost like your quirk is alive.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVIuAKYWMC
Izuku: “It’s not.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAo7SaDswu
The principal, someone not known to show any fear, felt his hair stand on end.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYVHJVcwkp
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.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7u60EPKI3
Izuku: “I suppose. I’ll try.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9deOOcjXxa
Momo: “So… can you come over to my house again? Maybe tomorrow night before internships.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNuYv6KTEn
All Might & Recovery Girl: ‘How bold!!’
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt7Oy7Yvw6
Izuku: “I-I-I…
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lQGpLBuG6
By all that is good, he wants to say yes. But that wouldn’t be right, not to Kiri.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG99pOvvcGg
Izuku: “I-I can’t.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTZDMVdbGd
Momo: “Oh… ”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeIad8HItu
Her face falls, and the heart cracks a little. There is only one reason why he would refuse.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKl9u4uuzb
Izuku: “It’s just… it would be-”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn4s0XBs65
Momo: “I understand. We can do it some other time.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu52ArXNMYU
She gives him a forced smile and accepts that it won’t be that easy after all.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfggX4l2BFL
Recovery Girl: “Young love, as complicated as I remember.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHPDu6YuC0
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.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrBSTrKKBP
Momo: “I will. Thank you all for everything.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cHRzs6y7q
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRQvGkUxuq
Wanting to fill the silence, the boy asked a question.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhEYZwmHEM
Izuku: “S-So, who are you interning with?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgagaNsTs7
Momo smiled before giving her answer.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASAQoQ0JN2
Momo: “I was going to intern with Uwabami, but after gaining One For All, I think I’ll go for Edgeshot.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFwpR5vRKL
Izuku nearly tripped over his foot when hearing that.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGO5G5uIxF
Izuku: ‘The same as Kiri… ’
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHod5aplVo
Izuku: “Why?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeNvL1mvM2
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.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQvCGMKEw0
Izuku: “T-That’s a good idea. I’m sure he’ll-”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7orx3IfC4
The hairs on Izuku’s head stand on end; a familiar presence makes itself known at the school gates.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GpeBCOmuK
Izuku: “Yaoyorozu, can you go on without me? I need to talk with a friend.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEplbMAhrXw
She looks between Izuku and the other student.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBBZI86WSd
Momo: “Are you sure? Is something wrong?”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSJIPHg6DU
Izuku: “It’s alright. Just something I forgot to do.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VYCPGlYAg
She can tell that smile was forced. But something was warning her to not interfere in this.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKpVzhhLgY
Momo: “Text me tonight so I know you’re alright.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS3LaxzuBE
Izuku: “O-Of course.”
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZbVDrKtj0
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4p4o1km7h
With her worries lessened, Momo made her way out of the school grounds. That left Izuku and his first apostle.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm4JhULxc6
Shinso: “We need to talk.”
