The next day, Izuku awoke with the feeling of something warm and alive on top of him. His sleepy eyes fluttered open to find Kiri lying on his chest, her smaller body rising and falling gently alongside each breath he took. They resembled an otter parent and child pair lazing atop each other, her little fists clutching his pajama shirt tight while she dozed peacefully. A lock of his dark hair drifted near her mouth, and she began to chew on it, even drooling a little.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jqkvhfmVJ
However, there’s a problem.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSBrjJkxOs
Kiri: “Nmu… ”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbYnZY2tV5
This is his room, and she shouldn’t be here. Izuku fought down his blush and sucked in his panic.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0jggYGVRl
Izuku: ‘Did she sleepwalk?’
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zwB7SRx5E
Glancing at his bedside clock, he noticed it was almost time to get up and get ready for school. The boy tried to gently slide her off without waking her up. Ironically, his actions had the opposite effect when she held on tighter the moment she felt her 'bed' shifting.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWunKMAqUZ
With no choice, Izuku prodded at her cheek tenderly, careful not to startle her.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcigA3qTAPX
Izuku: "Kiri?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuatURx5TM
Kiri: "Nn?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqFCmBq6JU
The little girl let out a small yawn.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjCVXsO9gt
Kiri: "Nii-chan… ”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR0GB8my6q
Izuku: "Y-Yeah, it's me. W-What are you doing here?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHYQ10bTrv
Kiri: “Wanted… to be close to you.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPikhPaKwl3
Izuku: “But… we can’t sleep in the same bed. You should’ve stayed in your room. Did you sleepwalk?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXW3ZYLzRA
Kiri: “No, I couldn’t sleep… until I was with you.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8hDYnaSbx
She looked at him with such innocent eyes, dispelling any worries of other thoughts. But still, this can’t go on. Izuku shifted their positions so they were sitting cross-legged across from each other.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxjU5ZTwf5
Izuku: “Kiri, we have to clear up the misunderstanding at school.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrl7NpRDcV
Kiri: “What misunderstanding?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG4pfICUFe
Izuku: “That you’re my… girlfriend.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeAmHYPkk1
Kiri: “But I’m a girl, and you’re my friend.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wlpd1aXJE
Izuku: “Yes, but a girlfriend is something different. It’s… only for couples.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0ozMtwrqq
Kiri: “Couples?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32JNe8dBNX
Izuku: “Y-Yes, those who love each other.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1OGdanFaH
Kiri: “But… I do love you.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuP4FoKSmV
Izuku couldn’t help but blush a bit from that. Sure, he sees Kiri as a little sister, but she’s still a cute girl. Hearing that from a cute girl would of course get a reaction.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjkBuBGWLJ
A reaction that made Kiri feel… strange again. More good this time.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNWlYS420H
Izuku: “I-I-I know you do, b-but that’s familial love, not romantic.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRQPtoETE3
Kiri: “What’s… the difference?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0tir6U1YL
Izuku: “Um, one is for your family, and the other is for someone you… intend to marry.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDexYs0s6mb
Kiri: “Mmmmmm, can’t we get married?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCIhv3KQjs
Izuku: “W-What!? No!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX4auxsMj5
Kiri: “Why?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdHuBHfFt8
Izuku: “Because you’re like my sister! Siblings can’t get married!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LTq85gbne
Kiri: “Why not?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUcNLJFe6f
Izuku: “Because… because… ”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs73CVkXoX
The more he thought on it, the more the reasons don’t work in this case. Kiri is a mental construct, so the genetic argument doesn’t work.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGk4PYGuVD
But still, he shouldn’t see her that way. If Kiri is okay, then maybe-
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GXriR5ARo
Izuku shakes his head violently, banishing those bad thoughts.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J2RRlbmWu
Izuku: “Look, Kiri, we just can’t. Please, just tell everyone we’re just friends. Not girlfriend and boyfriend. Can you do that for me?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWrjhQM0qZ
Kiri: “… Okay.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pzgxv90Cu
He can tell she still doesn’t really get it, but this will have to do for now.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcYCRLBKRf
Izuku: “Good, now we have to get ready for school. We can’t be late.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYp8wFM0cP
Kiri: “Nh.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeLtAoca3C
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvzgpUrX7V
After running to school, because they were almost late and for exercise, the duo got breakfast and then attended their first class.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67n9eDFr5s
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wxv0PvdGE
Present Mic: “All right, class. Tell me where the mistake is in the English sentence. Who knows the answer? Everybody, hands up and raise them high!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4XNArzey4
‘So normal!’
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GUVP7uBNE
The whole class shared the same sentiment. Some students were dozing off, like Mina, or even sleeping, like Kiri. She didn’t see much reason to learn this stuff after all.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC4YxU1qa1
The only one who seemed to be enjoying himself was Izuku. After that though, the class was allowed to gather at the grand mess hall.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTJdxhLZ5x
The group was pretty big; nearly the whole class was together. Much to Izuku’s delight, he was welcomed with open arms.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EbMQ6ZeE7
Izuku: ‘I never expected to get this many friends, all at once.’
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGepkLPaHvc
They group shared their names, the basics of their quirks, and complaints about schoolwork. You know, normal school life.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBoANp9nf8
That did, however, leave little time to clear up the Kiri misunderstanding.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpeR1ACz89
Regardless, that normalcy was coming to an end, for a special teacher was coming in for their next class.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpfNZfM2Qr
All Might: "I AM HERE…"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPdvEwK8uH
Everyone's heads perked, and wide grins split their faces at the welcomed surprise.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlpjh5tSBO
All Might: "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLMCAk0aHo
"We have All Might as a teacher?!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSZKqVq6rH
The class erupted in excitement as All Might walked in, resplendent in his Silver Age costume.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogNybPA7ys
Mina: "Whoa, his style is so different! I swear I'm hearing a theme song right now!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dgydeh2LI
Jiro: "You're not the only one."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oSXucD6Hv
All Might proceeded to chew the scenery right up as he heroically made his way to the podium and put his fists on his hips.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF4hT6cYYh
All Might: "I will be teaching Fundamental Heroics! In this subject, we will be putting all of you through your paces so that you can learn the basics of being a Hero. We'll be here quite often. This class and its subsequent advanced versions will have the most units per semester."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC6y1xz8ug
He seemed to flex, and somehow managed to make a card appear in his hand.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sQYZ9LCOB
All Might: "So let's get right into it! Your first class shall be… Combat Training!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaHKPwQldW
The card had the word 'Battle' written on it.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGfpWuIjxn
Bakugo: "Combat?!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnT7vbtSFa
He was grinning broadly, beyond excited. With this, he could prove once and for all who’s on top.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2rpN94Cuj
All Might: "And for that you need these!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTL1BWRV5r
All Might clicked a button and several panels popped out of the wall to the far side of the room. Each of them had five containers labeled from 1 to 15.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg3xdSGrMU
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MO5wpIZ6r
All Might: "In accordance with the Quirk Registry as well as your own written requests... here are your-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfRBTXqSTe
"COSTUMES!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok6YGAfPeV
Nearly the whole class shouted in glee. They couldn't wait to see how all of them had turned out.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZydRLRGPN
All Might: "That's right! After you change, meet me at Ground Beta!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL11tT0KvzZ
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUSs10Ya5G
All Might stood alone now, fists again on his hips as he waited for his students to start coming through the tunnel into Ground Beta. His grin widened as he started picking up on faint footsteps before the first of them broke into the light.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9DVUG6dKH
All Might: "They say the costume makes the hero, young ladies and gentlemen."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDouyR2pRra
He eyed each of them and liked what he saw with most of the costumes.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xmAh7c9IV
All Might: "Be proud. From this moment on, you are HEROES!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTEagjU81f
Behind the rest of the class, Izuku and Kiri were the last ones walking out of the tunnel. He had gotten a little lost in a memory when he and Kiri first put on their costume.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRASC8yhNb
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGu8hmj1ne
It was the night before his first day at UA, and the family had just finished dinner. After cleaning up, Inko pulled him and Kiri aside with a brilliant smile on her face.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowKLeaN3OL
Inko: “Me and Fubuki have a surprise for you! Right, Fubuki?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE5zqCUTjg
Fubuki was pretty silent throughout dinner, but hearing her name finally brought her back to reality.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax1J69fCIK
Fubuki: “O-Oh, yes! I almost forgot, stay here, Izu!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG6ZmKO7zl
Fubuki nearly ran out the door.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXyLoYo5KK
Izuku: “What is it?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGez3RD7Cl
Tatsumaki: “Something we made for when you were accepted into UA.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufydqtwRls
Inko: “Fubuki was the one who came up with the idea and even paid for it. Tatsu and I helped design it. But we did take a peek into your hero journals for inspirations.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOJ8rW9KxK
Before Izuku could wonder what they made, Fubuki came back with two large metal suitcases. She floated them in with her quirk and laid them on the couch.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7opDgmMjg
Fubuki: “I really hope you too like it. I spared no expense.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbek46svpLJ
Izuku and Kiri got on their knees and opened the suitcases. Their eyes widen at the gift.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolAPbV1PGs
Tatsumaki: “You’re heroes now; you have to look the part.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKASSSvrRfD
Izuku beamed a brilliant grin, which brought joy to those that saw it.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfyymOzUty
Izuku: “Thank you, for everything!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUn0p4pArf
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaLh0hWRfO
Uraraka: "Woah! You two look amazing!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcYwCXbOjF
The gleeful cry from Ochaco drew all of their attention, and several more exclamations rang out.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca73K0blXH
Mina: "Wow, matching outfits!? So cute!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS4kA3OPzq
Mina's voice rang out as she started excitedly running around them, checking out every angle.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFVKzfE92h
Momo: "Quite cool. I like it a lot."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRXEZYBKmV
Momo smiled at him specifically, getting another luminescent blush from the shy boy.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6zefLQRii
Izuku: “T-Thank you.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZufsQrG0b
Denki: "Jeez, looking at him makes my costume look like a crappy cosplay. I'm a bit intimidated."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9qvJn99Mu
Kaminari complained in good humor. He was wearing clothes that wouldn't have looked out of place at a rock concert. They looked like regular clothes.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8cpJjkMN3
Bakugo: “Tch.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJRgNG9EgG
Izuku's full costume looked to be in a similar style to the one All Might was wearing. It was a full bodysuit and had a green cape, but that was where the similarities ended.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJyJMv25J6
Rather than spandex, it was a combat bodysuit similar to those really old space-themed video games from the previous century like Crysis or Mass Effect.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VYacrqiIS
It was primarily black, but there were some green accents woven in through the suit. The gloves and boots were bright green, as was the cape and the shoulders, running down to his arms. A bright green bird of prey was emblazoned on his chest.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5otHwgBv6x
Finally, an emerald sash rested on his hips for his Psi blade.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0lW1mNifF
As for Kiri, her outfit was much the same, except her primary color was white with light green accents. She had no cape but instead had a gladiator helmet with silver wings. A helmet worthy of a Valkyrie.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIuFDhGbqb
Together, they contrast but somehow still complement each other well.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqBn3dRtCt
Mina: “Aw, I’m so jealous. I wish I had a boyfriend I could have matching costumes with.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LbumR6lG8
Kiri: “Nh.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡislincWkvU
Izuku: “But-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dG3M0wIVW
All Might: "Alright, my young heroes, it is time to get started."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUsqFVhZKd
All Might interrupted the socializing since he couldn't stay in his hero form for too long.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkBZHWOonb
Ida: "Sensei, this is the same site we used for our entrance exams. Will we be doing cityscape maneuvers again?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndY1q6hrEh
All Might: "Close! What we’ll be doing will involve indoor combat scenarios and outdoor survival."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8310rr9sf
All Might: “You must be able to adapt to both scenarios as they come up. To that end, we have come up with a new combat exercise that suits the number of students.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4o2Wsu8OG
Tsuyu: "So no basic training?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMcmFpvzDh
All Might: "Practical experience will teach you that! The distinction here is that you won't be fighting disposable robots but each other!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW39f2zkEsG
Some were surprised by the news while others were thrilled. Izuku could feel the burning glare aimed at him. He dared to send one back at his longtime bully and former friend.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEeQllendG
They stared at each other as the fire of their past itches to ignite into a frenzy. But All Might cuts in first.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4IY1oObJa
All Might: “My Young Heroes, prepare for the 5v5v5 Combat and Survival Trial! Pick a card out of here to determine your teams.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0HLPNcM18
One by one, everyone picked a card from the black box All Might had. In the end, everyone had either a green, red, or white card. Before the questions could bombard him, All Might explained.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt85SlH8lX5
All Might: “Reds will be the Villains, Greens the Heroes and Whites the Civilians.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpfCRuVT55
All Might: “Villains need to capture all Civilians while protecting their bomb at base camp.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq7QlnvFfB
All Might: “Heroes need to save all Civilians and bring them back to base camp while capturing the enemy bomb. You can ignore the Villains and focus on those objectives, but that will lose you points. The Villains will still be at large in this case.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz71pDZFFjS
Momo: “That means in order to get high marks-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1QePooVpv
Uraraka: “We have to save the Civilians, bring them back to base safe, capture the bombs and beat the Villains!?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxqKvaOeEj
All Might: “Yes, hero work is rarely easy, and the odds are often stacked against you. This is a lesson you must learn early.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WhDASankR
That’s putting it lightly. The Villain team is… stacked.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6x63P1AkZ
Villains: Bakugo, Ida, Shoto, Mina, and… Kiri.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoESCcmBow
Izuku looked at his little sister, and she at him.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk1a0jUnWj
Hero: Izuku, Uraraka, Sero, Kirishima, and Momo.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6D2TghmdK
Kiri: “Onii… ”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZxlhHIsi9
Izuku: “It’s alright, Kiri. It’s just training.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEmjClHLTR
Kiri: “But I don’t… want to fight you.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V1fq5XOvk
Izuku: “You have to.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs39t3yyxAG
Kiri: “But-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7hnzFeRsi
Izuku: “Don’t go easy on Kiri. Think of it like how Fubuki fought me. This will help us become even better heroes.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD3sn77jzk
Kiri: “Are you… sure?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72p5jDOcHw
Izuku: “Yes! Even if we’re on opposite sides now, we’ll still be together, improving as heroes.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27VWaMURYD
Kiri: “… Nh.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbYYO7Ad2s
Kiri nods, and her worry dissipates. But Izuku can still feel she’ll try to avoid him. It’s probably for the best, because he knows who he’ll face during this.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX5mMlKf8w
If Bakugo’s maddening grin was anything to go by.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt1oLtevRb
Jiro: “Okay, that’s all good and all. But what should the Civilians be doing?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE1zosmwPG
Civilians: Jiro, Shoji, Denki, Tokoyami, and Tsuyu
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk2xOHq91Y
All Might: “Survival is a skill every hero must know. Your task is to evade the Villains as long as possible until the Heroes arrive.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby2sHMPO2x
Denki looks to Ida and Kiri before sighing.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWiLYJA2xh
Denki: “We’re doomed.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi7mq0QxBQ
All Might: “Go to your assigned areas in the city my young heroes! When you see the flare, the trial will begin!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj8aCxocaA
Izuku takes a deep breath before taking a step towards his first major battle.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu44uvIF0b
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP3aoF5OnQ
I want to say thank you for reading, following, and reviewing this story. It motivated me to use my holiday time to bring you another batch of chapters. Sad about my other story, it seems to be falling into obscurity.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhqOJjYgNH
I’ll focus on this since it’s what the people want.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2ROX0b3qT
Now, I want to say that I don’t plan to have Kiri x Izuku happen. I’m tempted, but I don’t think Izuku would go for it. Still, I think I played with the idea too much. Even I’m starting to get annoyed by the misunderstanding.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtb9M3RYEf
I will break the it after this battle so the real ship can begin. As for Kiri’s feelings on the matter, we’ll see.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gJdCWt6nc
On another note, after doing more detailed outlines for later arcs, I’m starting to regret including the Phoenix. The more I write and plan, the more I want to focus on the ground level of the hero society.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgow7cXBPnc
Much of it will expand and explore the themes that the original story covered. But that means the Phoenix has been bent to fit that, which is difficult. Primordial Vortex, you had the right idea not involving the actual Cosmic Entity.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLABzh0T7O8
But that’s life; I’ll figure it out and give you a story that can stand proudly next to the original. That’s if life doesn’t decide to bend me over a counter again.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAX1p1isEV
Until next time.
