Fubuki: “Another quiet patrol.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtWlre6rR6
The Blizzard group once again scoured the city for any villain or quirk beast activity but came up empty. Didn’t mean they didn’t do anything. The Blizzard group did general community work that made the city around the agency prosper.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RQSHy7d1Y
But that only made most of the group exhausted. Not tired enough to stop complaining about it, though.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBJrmF54D1
Lily: “Boss Fubuki, perhaps we should stop for now?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkc3NIJzH3
Mountain Ape: “At least for some food.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswWBZfxmLI
Fubuki: “30 more minutes.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxafufpzQnQ
She says while walking with her eyes closed, focusing on her psychic senses instead of sight. An easy way to train.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uDNo9YDZG
Eyelashes: “What about your brother and Emory?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI2hry2XS0
Fubuki: “Trust me, the more time Izu has, the more inventive his analysis.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL2Z9KPRuG
Lily: “But-”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqRWonR0se
Fubuki opens her eyes and turns towards her group with a contained glare.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpp6IafDRl
Fubuki: “This is the only way to get stronger and improve as a group. Clearly, what we were doing before wasn’t enough. We must be prepared for the worst.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOtKNEBHyD
Eyelashes: “Boss Fubuki, are we really getting better this way?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcUG7GwciU
She turns and focuses her attention on Eyelashes.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyt1I1UrAT
Fubuki: “Yes, it increases your stamina and gives me time to improve my own quirk. Our constant patrols make a constant presence in the area and deter villains.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzAPqfxJwK
Eyelashes: “I’m afraid at this rate, we might be too weak to fight when the-”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIrkeOsIfF
Fubuki: “Eyelashes.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThrSebNSIW
Eyelashes: “Y-Yes?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRL2A1sfrH
Fubuki: “I understand your concern, but is it so bad that you would go behind my back and talk to my mother?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPptFm3Z87C
The others in the group looked at Eyelashes with surprise, and some even started discussing among themselves. It looks like it was his own idea.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtseEU9rNJM
Eyelashes looks down, and sweat gathers on his forehead.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3acHwRZNF
Eyelashes: “Forgive me, Boss Fubuki. I just wanted to-”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGztV5yB5j
Fubuki: “Stifle the growth of the group?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5OUEikxUH
Eyelashes: “N-No! I… ”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCRhS8Jal4
As the group shuffles in place awkwardly, unable to meet her gaze, she sighs.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6rKGEKDbr
Fubuki: “Why are you all are so… ”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDCvxhs0Wl
She caught herself before saying something she’d regret for the rest of her days. Pinching her nose and closing her eyes, she releases the stress in a breath.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOuEWLyO7P
Fubuki: “Fine, let’s go back.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOlZekIyTA
Their mood lifts as hers sours with worry for the future, the next crisis.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FnE97OwXB
Regardless, she still has an internship to oversee. So the group heads back to the agency, and Fubuki lets them rest around. Afterward, she makes her way to the room she left the kids in.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50g8ljE1c6
The sight, however, was more than what she could have expected.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn94y3WvwP
Fubuki: “What did you do?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4q7v1H0Nc
The whole room was like an indoor jungle, lush and thick with foliage.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DwflbJ564
Fubuki: “Izu, Emory!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwoT3iMDtc
The bushes shake for a moment before a wild Izu appears. His face was dirty, but it didn’t ruin his bright smile.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtcFUdyqW5
Izuku: “Fubu, I’m glad you’re back! Emory’s quirk is incredible! I managed to keep the report short but was too excited to edit.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H1AF4UH7f
Just like that, her stress and worry vanished. The woman smiled and gently rubbed the dirt off Izuku’s face.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKULx0ZBYT
Fubuki: “I understand; you can edit later. Where is Emory?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA53BPVlVRa
Izuku: “She’s sleeping somewhere in here. I created a flower bed for her to sleep on with the plants she grew. I may have… overtaxed her.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw4XFiN4Kz
Fubuki: “Hehehe, I expected as much. Can I see the report?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUX8FSJVaO
Izuku: “Of course!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSIJJjHNQC
The boy entered the forest and eventually came back out with a stack of 9 pages filled with observations and ideas. Fubuki received the paper stack and gave it a quick glance.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuTrguOfky
Fubuki: ‘Yeah, it needs an edit.’
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8xE5jQk4S
Fubuki: “Thank you, Izu.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprQ3rSekJF
As she says that, Fubuki decides to show off and test her control. Without moving a finger, she manipulates the thicker plants and wood to create a fancy chair.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1cuLT23w8
Izuku: “Whoa, your control has really improved. It took a minute or two to make the flower bed.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Sd1FpKgr
Fubuki: “I’ve been training. Did Emory grow any fruits?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1olXALYdi
Izuku: “Yes!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3st2qkwS1J
Sensing his sister’s desire, Izuku moves some apples to his hand. Testing himself, he carefully peeled the apple into several slices with telekinesis. It was harder than he thought, but he managed. Now using their quirk, the two guided the slices they wanted into their mouths.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkXKmJgWA8
Izuku: “Delicious.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4xBAUwpY0
Fubuki: “Indeed.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMcIkU6GLK
Making his own custom chair, Izuku sat and enjoyed the calm atmosphere. After the fourth slice of apple, Fubuki spoke up.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXFPJ9eCei
Fubuki: “This is a very-well done report, aside from the grammar. The speed and range of Emory’s quirk along with ideas of a seed gun. That is a bit… lethal though.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5YOcWRkhW
Izuku: “Well, she can control the rate of growth. She doesn’t have to… you know… blow up the villain.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWFuPHcNUz
They both shudder at the idea of a tree bursting out of a person’s chest.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweqejnvrD3
Izuku: “But her quirk is best suited for support. She could set up wooden defenses, trap villains, help feed people, and restore forests. Her potential as a support hero is immense!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrGnZkassq
Fubuki: “I’m happy to hear it. She was… thinking of dropping out of school. Good thing she didn’t.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqXx6pICng
Izuku: “Really? Why?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSCtOq5Lve
Fubuki: “Izu, not everyone has a quirk like ours. Some people don’t have quirks suited for hero work or… any work, really. But thanks to you, Emory now knows her quirk can be useful. Thank you.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nbfw5WUUl
Izuku: “I-It’s was nothing. I’m happy to help.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXm3046ATi
Fubuki: “I understand. But speaking of quirks, I heard you can heal now.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnk4gn2vRi
She says while taking another apple slice.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxCMwi9Gy9
Izuku: “Huh? Where-”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi8E5rtPyK
Fubuki: “Recovery Girl couldn’t stay quiet for long.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSFWpBvERo
Izuku: “Oh.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwrTwKEMgZ
Fubuki: “And then there’s the abilities you showed during the tournament. Transmutation? Your quirk really is strange.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4IqKtavF5
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Fubuki, there won’t be any more surprises from me.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3uFRgyPfx
Before Fubuki could question the sudden chill in the air, the door swung open to reveal Tatsumaki and Kaoru flying in.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTq1wHxWF5
Kaoru: “Whoa, what happened in here?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIecO2VFAiR
Fubuki: “Tatsu, weren’t you supposed to be on patrol?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rcj7RZg44
Tatsumaki: “Akashi learned all she can about patrolling in the skies. Besides, I have a much better training idea.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa5Ul6rkVc
Fubuki: “Oh?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A7ZHn8FRa
Tatsumaki: “I suggest a match between Akashi and Izuku.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z9kTEDzKp
Kaoru’s eyes widen before turning to Izuku with a smile.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dAEZbuqPd
Fubuki: “What? Wait a minute-”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPxTk59SZq
Kaoru: “That’s perfect! I was a bit bummed that I couldn’t fight him in the tournament.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCurdVihs9
Tatsumaki: “You can even make it harder on Izu by sending out small mental attacks. That way he can train his mental abilities at the same time.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXTumbc4vk
She says while moving one of the floating apple slices into her mouth.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBOggJa25D
Izuku: “Aw, man.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqdmRndiqK
Kaoru: “Hey, I don’t need a handicap!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVkBtspUsh
Tatsumaki: “You’re facing my brother, of course you do.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvrk8B7J1o
Kaoru: “Hmph, I’ll show you. I’ll end this within five minutes.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7UnkVZNNL
Sighing, Fubuki accepts the fact her older sister has gained control over the situation.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTZcMd7ekU
Fubuki: ‘Not like it’s a bad idea. Still… would Tatsu have said the same thing if I was facing Akashi?’
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TLh6v1iGz
Fubuki: “Fine, we can use the roof. Get your hero outfits and meet us there.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJpcv6WYZ7
Kaoru & Izuku: “Right!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOSYyuogwa
The two students leave the room, and Tatsumaki follows suit. Fubuki sighs again before opening up the jungle to reveal a sleeping Alice Emory.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQay7C98xmb
Fubuki creates a blanket made of leaves and places it on Alice, which earns her a smile from the sleeping beauty.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSi9ofpk5D
Fubuki: “I guess you can rest for now. But you’ll have to work harder tomorrow.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhEzProJBd
With that, Fubuki leaves for the battle above.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJhK6CfOat
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnKWWr7The
He wasn’t kidding; it went on for an hour. By the halfway mark, Kiri managed to get used to it. In 45 minutes, Tokoyami reached a satisfactory level.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5QFV90i09
That left only Momo, who was standing against the wall with an outline of shurikens around her. She has gotten better, but that small shake of worry remained.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzRwLCXNoF
Edgeshot: “You’re getting better. I even had to increase the speed of my throw to get you to flinch near the end. But we should change things up. I think the other two have rested enough.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mAWF2g1nS
Momo: “A-Alright.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y21fxvlHd
She eased herself off the wall, careful not to catch her clothes on the blades. Momo, along with the other students, stood near the center, waiting for the next task.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aKY4uGvLY
Edgeshot: “First, change into your hero costumes. I have rooms prepared for you.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt05ysIDHw
He led the students to two changing rooms. After a few minutes, they returned to the dojo fully equipped.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPThVohspCx
Edgeshot: “I will go out on patrol soon with Tokoyami, but before that I need to teach you two some grappling moves. First, Tae.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8WWjkFAtS
What followed was a brutal and uncomfortable showing of Edgeshot’s prowess as a fighter. Sure, Kiri wasn’t fighting back, but still…
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLv4E1GwwT
In the end, she was on the floor, tired but enlightened.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvYJmi9Apf
Edgeshot: “Those are the basics of Judo and a few techniques that can knock an opponent out. We will go over them in more depth next time, but do you think you can mimic some of what I showed you?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0asRgyjiY
Kiri: “Y-Yes.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1LNYukHLO
Edgeshot: “Good. Considering your quirk, if you get the hold off, the opponent won’t be able to escape. But it depends on if you can touch the opponent. That’s where you come in.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJFtCsI9Vb
He turns to a still stunned Momo. It took a moment to register what he’s suggesting, and it only stunned her further.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D2uQuAA81
Momo: “Huh?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQj5VfuSB8
Edgeshot: “While we’re gone, you two will have a mock battle. But there are rules. Yaoyorozu, your goal is to evade capture until we come back or you capture Tae yourself. Be quick of mind and use any non-lethal method at your disposal.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXnBhJ52sB
Not giving any time for questions, he then turns to Kiri, who finally got up.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUBnIN8KpK
Edgeshot: “Tae, you may only try to grapple Yaoyorozu in the battle. Use what you learned to win. Do you two understand?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wqsP5ngJ7
The two girls look at each other; they both know there is more to this than just training.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9j1ttqFDc
Momo & Kiri: “Yes.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAtT588q9i
Edgeshot: “Good. Now, Tokoyami, make sure your quirk is always active while patrolling. Increase its tolerance.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPQyC16YWk
Tokoyami: “Very well. Dark Shadow.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOelqqaLGKU
The living shadow emerges from his body, already looking gloomy over the task.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVbTTjC3g2
Dark Shadow: “I know it’s training, but this sucks.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoVZVBWEXn
Kiri: “Good luck. You can do it.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJlO9P3mKD
She offers a thumbs-up to her fellow mental construct, something that instantly brightens Dark Shadow’s mood.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH34Kk58qJ
Dark Shadow: “Haha, thanks! I’ll do my best.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxurtVt84d9
Tokoyami: “Come, Dark Shadow.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLOCvlc8lY
Dark Shadow: “Right, partner.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsLRiEHGGQ
Kiri watches them go, leaving the room in an awkward silence. The two girls, competing over the same boy, distance themselves and prepare for battle. Momo creates a bo staff, and Kiri lowers her stance.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVKV4AmLte
But before they can come to blows, something must be said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf9I47bSAf
Momo: “Tae…”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0seehClXCg
Kiri: “… Yes?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhln9w7lec
Momo: “You know… I won’t give up on Midoriya.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh46uk19qvB
Kiri: “… I know. But… are you strong enough to stand by him?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeFBfavWBQ
Momo: “I will be. But more importantly, I can actually love him. Can you?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP89cXB0YDp
Kiri narrows her eyes. She’s aware of this dilemma already, but she doesn’t want to hear it from Udders of all people. So the time for talk was over; she rushed her rival.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFDgmqif4z
Thanks to the shurkian training, Momo wasn’t taken off guard completely by the speed. So she counters with a thrust, which Kiri easily dodges… right into a stun grenade.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0XM0QoCKU
Within the moments that Kiri was stunned, Momo created a glue gun and fired it. Not knowing what she had in store but wise enough to avoid it, Kiri jumped into the air and stuck to the ceiling.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dUlGGlBvr
But the blasts of glue didn’t stop, so Kiri let go right in time to avoid the follow-up. When her vision returned, she dashed forward again at a low angle.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DAdmA8udH
Didn’t matter, Momo had prepared a special shield in time to intercept. Undeterred, Kiri grabbed it, aiming to rip it out of Momo’s arms.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmsiFbcfv5
But with a click of a button, a jet of glue erupted from holes within the shield. It wasn’t enough to engulf Kiri, but it’s enough to slow her down.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9sS2D5i5x
Or it would be if Kiri didn’t expel the glue using her telekinesis. A bit taken off guard with her tactic being rejected, Momo was unable to prevent Kiri from ripping the shield from her hand.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4SCSHCTIH
Being dragged forward by the momentum, Kiri was in range to end this. Grabbing her arm, Kiri jumped and then used her legs to bring Momo to the ground by wrapping them around her head.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5mGIPIjYs
Wasn’t a perfect grapple, but good enough. Momo’s arm was caught, and her neck was being squeezed by Kiri’s legs.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetPrFqZ3Sv
Kiri: “Submit.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAUToxXZCN
Momo’s eyes said everything they needed.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ8O4cjhkN
Never.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs1bGVEbcN
That being said, though, how is she going to escape? Her first instinct is to overthink, to question what she should create to escape.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTPt0iA0bs
But that training wasn’t for nothing. She closed her eyes and focused on the present. She can’t escape Kiri’s hold, not without overpowering her telekinesis. So why not lean into it?
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHGzze71sN
Momo: ‘You don’t want to let go? Fine!’
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTtLe6w6Wb
Reaching for One For All, she surges strength into her captured arm, lighting up the room with pink lightning.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaiG31QF1x
Kiri: “You-”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqsgXR4827
Slowly but surely, Momo was picking up Kiri. Despite the girl’s strength, she doesn’t really weigh that much.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkZIruKEPE
In the end, despite the legs around her head, Momo was able to stand and carry Kiri. In response, Kiri tightens the grip around Momo’s neck.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOD3e60Ecv
Momo: “Ngh.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpFH2ULU51
Black spots were appearing in her vision; she couldn’t hold on for long. So she used her free hand and One For All to create several sharp caltrops on the ground. Not enough to maim, but enough to hurt. Momo holds Kiri over the trap.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnOTiptuBf
Momo: “Let… go… or I’m… slamming you.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImYnkL0MoA
Kiri’s eyes want to say “never” as well, but there is some hesitation. So instead, Kiri takes a detour from her goal. She removes her legs and plants her feet on the ground, tiptoeing on the trapless part of floor, without releasing the arm.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApd8sTRrT8
Next, she flips Momo over her shoulder, forcing her to taste her own trap.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL05vxyRpK
Momo: “Gah!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy7gM1lFdI
Ghost girl wasn’t done; she placed her foot on Momo’s chest, right below her mounds.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1uVAhfq0n
Kiri: “Submit.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL0WRzTff7
Momo: ‘I can’t get leverage in this position, and my back is killing me! But I can’t let it end here! Think, think, think!’
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh71gLU6VH
Kiri: “You’re right, I’m not sure yet if I’m physically capable of real love for Izu. But what I do know is that he doesn’t really love you either.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZctyep1l2r
Momo: “What!?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBGuHHWx6L
Kiri: “If he chose you, I can only think of one reason, Udders.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8WtCe6hof
Momo’s face turns scarlet as she covers her chest with her free hand.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Odj8fuEQr
Momo: “W-Well, at least I have something to show off.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhn7KG6zK2
Kiri: “I-I could change my s-shape you know. If I wanted. But Izu loves me as I am.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAr7znVwud
Momo: “Does he? Or is he confusing his feelings for something else?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsokN45yaaO
Kiri: “He does! He kissed me back!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJZgP5it4n
Momo didn’t register the tightened grip; she was too busy being stunned by the fact they already made out. Unlike her kiss, he seemed to have kissed Kiri back.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRzS3z3l6v
Momo: ‘But why?’
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr6vr9Y6vY
Kiri: “Udders, you’re second choice. If my love is genuine, then Izu will choose me.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvGFbHPGqU
Refocusing on the present, Momo resolves herself.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIjsEANVaO
Momo: “And if not, he’ll be with me. A human, like him.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYgBlemnfr
Acting quickly, she creates a gun in the hand close to Kiri’s face and fires.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2clqXx2bA7
Apparently, Kiri wasn’t fully immune to flinches, since she released one hand to cover her face. But instead of a bullet, she was hit with a wave of water.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNVdjqdcqO
Kiri: “Huh?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZCDp7TRE2
Her momentary confusion was all Momo needed to edit the water gun into a taser gun. Firing again, the electrified cords struck Kiri and lit her up like a Christmas tree, made even worse with the water.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoh6R2AEPn
But Momo wasn’t free from it; she was still connected to Kiri. Yet, she didn’t scream like Kiri did.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyIy8UFV7H
Kiri: “A-A-Again…!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl8P2xS9kK
Seems like Sabrina’s attack left a lasting effect, enough to force Kiri to let go of Momo. Seeing her chance, she gathered the rest of her strength to get up and delivered a heavy punch to Kiri’s face, sending her flying back.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42dy1cOQLE
Momo made sure to collapse on a section of the floor that wasn’t littered with caltrops. As for Kiri, she also collapsed, but she wasn’t unconscious.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQppKsL3kwy
The rivals in love took a moment to breathe, a temporary ceasefire. When it was over, the two got back up to finish things.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbufCfglqh
Kiri: “I… was going to let you get closer to Izu, just in case. But I… changed my mind.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qCRY6G7DS
Momo: “That’s not… your choice to make. I’m… going to kiss him next time… and I’m sure he’ll kiss me back.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtioD83ed7
Growling, Kiri threw all sense of technique and charged. Momo wasn’t much better; she charged forward as well.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZbffR2wcE
What followed wasn’t a fight, just a collective outburst of teenage frustrations. Hair pulling, clothes tearing, slapping, and, of course, taunts.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI42ruXntw
Kiri: “I don’t see what Izu sees in these; they’re just bags of meat!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0OFte3qix
Momo: “M-Maybe because he’s a functioning boy and k-k-knows what they can be u-used for. Not like you would know that! Do you even know what s-s-sex is?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDaUe8oalE
Kiri: “No, but I already know I want to do it with Izuku! And I bet he’ll do it with me before you.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcBW5nHGwP
Momo: “Y-You-You-You idiot!”

Kiri: “No, you’re an idiot!”

Normally, these two wouldn’t sink so low. But emotions are running high, and love can make one blind. For example, they may not notice when the door opens.

Good thing Dark Shadow was there to quickly cover the eyes of the males present.

Dark Shadow: “What are you two doing!?”

Hearing a voice that wasn’t their own, the two girls looked up and saw that the boys were back. Quickly cooling off, they finally noticed their clothes. Or lack thereof.

Kiri: “… Ah.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEdckDreNH
Momo: “N-N-NOOOOO!!”

An embarrassing redress later, the two were kneeling before Edgeshot and Tokoyami.

Momo & Kiri: “We’re sorry.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Y1IYcGre
Edgeshot: “I don’t know what problem you two have, but you will manage it properly during this internship. Am I understood?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JzbeFbPA1
Momo & Kiri: “Yes!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAsE4Vv4NP
Edgeshot: “Good. Since you two clearly need to cool off, we’ll continue this tomorrow. Yaoyorozu and Tokoyami, you can go back home.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5baSVATjIA
Momo gives one last look at Kiri before getting up and leaving through the elevator with Tokoyami.

As for Kiri, she kept her head down in shame. She usually doesn’t let her emotion cloud her actions so much, but when it comes to Izuku…

Kiri: ‘I shouldn’t have done that. If… he does pick Yaoyorozu… then it would be better to be friends with her, not enemies. Otherwise, Izu wouldn’t be happy.’

Edgeshot: “I have to say, I expected more from you. But I suppose it makes sense, considering what you did during the tournament.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2bXgDdLIj
The girl lifts her head and looks at Edgeshot, who seems strangely on guard.

Kiri: “What do you mean?”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1dkI22pZl
Edgeshot: “The quirk beast massacre. You didn’t hide your getaway fast enough.”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1spkDXFMZ0
Her eyes widened as the implication became clear.

Edgeshot: “Yes, I know who you are, Valkyrie.”
