Izuku wanted this day to be normal, but life had other plans.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj0YOC9K9D
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjONaJ3MnDF
Why?
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkSH48qkZU
The still awkward tension between him and Momo. It’s so bad that Izuku had to be told multiple times to pay attention.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeZWVgyalS
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT0Tq5WF1I
No words were spoken, which seemed like the nail in the coffin of this-
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANymCohofH
Momo: “Midoriya.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4hSAJR0p0
Izuku: “Y-Y-Yes!?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8nBkdQVIF
Momo: “You… can relax. I’ve thought about what you told me yesterday.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNUH0Hauyf
Yep, here it comes. His first rejection. Well, at least he still has-
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3iqb6xx10
Momo: “I don’t want to give you up.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjABrdRSaAR
Izuku: “… What?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1T5I2SCjV
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.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQl0UjXQag
Before he can fully grasp what she’s saying, Momo leans down and kisses Izuku’s cheek.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXshm5FTLkz
Momo: “I hope Tae understands.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zKP3bB6U3
Face sprinkled red, Momo makes her escape while Izuku’s brain reboots.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPaug3r6Kq
Izuku: ‘How did I end up having two girls fighting for me?’
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAkirLdgfU
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ08yHvBg3V
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL46jwbAOA
Recovery Girl: "You blockhead."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZsZgdPUs0
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWdVJumhfN
Recovery Girl: "Why didn't you tell me about this yesterday?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1IL2p6CoD
All Might: "I’m sorry, it slipped my mind. Besides, you couldn’t have checked it until today anyway."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcHmIzKaDu
Recovery Girl: "Hmph. Luckily, I sense nothing wrong, Yaoyorozu-chan. I think she’s ready for the real tests.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXfrD2YtZ7
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Iephtq8m
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg8nGlFf6S
Momo: "Besides Midoriya’s family, is this everyone who knows of One For All?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEM44e2Efl
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."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlnnpRcWkr
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."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3fl9XsclZ
Nezu: "Rest assured, we are doing everything in our power to make sure that never becomes relevant."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSv0qpqXSW
But Momo had heard enough. Her mind whirred as she pieced it together.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTvkVs5jO2
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… "
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDiQzscJm5
Momo looked at Izuku, and he shook his head.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXKq37OJkm
Momo: "I'll be honest. I don't appreciate being given One For All without all of the facts."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmUBlqaL30
Izuku: "Me either… "
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbThq9gY3kp
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."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBZHMK54WG
He had such an uncharacteristic look on his face that Momo and Izuku merely nodded.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVAetxPHib
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."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Eq1mMyYFp
Recovery Girl: "I am here for any complications. This blockhead has told you that there will be some blowback, yes?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBg5nQY2ml
Momo nodded resolutely, trying to put the heavy subject behind her.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1ivMevmMo
Momo: "Yes, though he didn't give any specifics."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkMj8oucl0
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."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QfckQZDbd
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubcbCFxtqi
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."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96E3GfjqMF
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWQSn3nlGl
They had no idea what her 100% would look like.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLLnDpBODO
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeg2WFnl5c
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rNuxdln8N
Immediately, red lightning started crackling across her body. Preparation done, Momo let out a strong right cross down the street.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwMskq1b03
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTLITejZ0D
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNKadD4JOS
Izuku: "Momo!"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRARuElgy5
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzihIdfKkU
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwNgW7cyVu
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i1csDzMCq
Momo’s screams petered off, replaced by a long, drawn-out moan of relief.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv6q8WhNZK
All Might: "Yaoyoro…zu?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC21mC9PRm0
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrSbwoeHpp
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!
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPlwmmRfoV
They watched in awe as the flames healed Momo’s arm. When it was over, she was cradling her arm in dumbfounded awe.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwGiMEQHqc
Momo: "It… it's healed?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW9yyQz4sI
All Might: "YOU CAN HEAL?!"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCYjJYpUSX
Izuku: "I CAN HEAL?!"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS8xxM42KM
Yeah, and Recovery Girl looked like she was about to weep tears of joy over it.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl5kQlxAJT
Recovery Girl: "He can heal!"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujSSwFUkBC
It was a that moment that Izuku felt a chill go down his spine.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP6HblSHuA
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nyhh6c6XG
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9NIYwnGqH
Toshinori had his head in his hands as Izuku and Momo finished recounting what had happened and what he had seen.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6coH5ZsJMS
All Might: "That is FAR above and beyond the blowback I expected. My word, your arm was all but ready to come off!"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgsyGepLaT
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi1dOZQgcC
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."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvoCqmvJlY
She reached out to Izuku, who was nearby. He didn’t hesitate to take her hand.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5tw0vJ5G5
Momo: "You saved me again…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWNnCwcNUb
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMPvYeyDyh
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."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCEvAolhIb
Momo swallowed but shook her head.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmkTKihOPe
Momo: "If I did, my words to you would be meaningless. I can't let myself fall after my first hurdle."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITRnLx2vMp
She trembled for a moment before getting up.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r95I5yJr9
Izuku: “Are you sure?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QrylmXYQZ
Momo: “Yes, I… want to try again. I’m not afraid, as long as you’re here.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRmsJt44PM
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU35d8g0tm
This time, her skin just started to glow with an inner light. There was no lightning this time, just some glimmering veins shining.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VXQh4zScX
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDejXqbyJF
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2ci4ym3bt
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtTOwaRmpu
Toshinori and the others either gaped or smiled proudly.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBqvu4gV42
All Might: "Oh my… oh MY… GOODNESS!"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eFSuLmwMl
Izuku: "That was fantastic, Momo!"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1kEho5eDF
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFdjuez7DO
She suppressed a giggle. Maybe it wouldn’t be as hard as she thought to help Izuku make the choice.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWYktlyfUv
Not wanting to push too hard, she pulled back.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF806SuluoN
Momo: "Thank you."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GmL0hfOtU
She smiled brilliantly at him and returned it, despite the red on his cheeks.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrp6EykYry
Izuku: “T-The lightning was really cool too. I-I wonder if you can do a-anything with it."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFhWToi55Z
Momo: "Any ideas?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPU9SsPltK
Izuku: “Just a crazy one. And it would for sure confirm if my theory on Creation is right."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MtlWS1fCQ
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkj3P5gNVl
Momo: "Wait, you don't think-"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKvNPdvijQ
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPo96KntCx
Izuku: "YES!"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4FU5ksBW9
Momo: "Oh my god! I didn't even feel a tiny drain on my lipids. What was your theory?!"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk6iIOEygE
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?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmEF4ieMNj
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."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfKLXi7R19
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!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnUYcaO1c8
Izuku started pacing, excited to be proved right.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpIuGtRFIS
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!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9HYXkmT55
Momo: “No way…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaJwr4ZdwZ
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!'”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzeTQatG9U
Momo: “Midoriya… ”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MVVuSdRrd
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!
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOynB1ckUS
So of course, she hugged him tightly and whispered her gratitude.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhE7xjnRPO
Momo: “Thank you, I won’t let this gift go to waste.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qjYv18GO7
Izuku: “I know it won’t; you’ll do great.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t0KH609Rc
Recovery Girl: “Ahem.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDK9cpjqnx
Remembering that there are other people around, the duo separate.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwtjzyZumA
All Might: “Excellently done, young Yaoyorozu. You already have gotten such a grasp of One For All, and it’s only been a day!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAkSA8LEX3
Momo: “Thank you. But I only can handle four percent for now. That is why I have a favor to ask, Midoriya.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4b7BZDV2O
Izuku: “Favor?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpcycMfsgy
Momo: “Yes, it’s related to how you can manipulate things on the atomic level.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TtFOgDGJy
All Might: “He can do that?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF7jrcxp2K
Nezu: “Oh yes. I did wonder how you turned Todoroki’s ice into water like that. Fascinating.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWMmNwrDp6
All Might: “Midoriya, your quirk is getting kind of scary.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNDLBAHkst
A flash of intense self-hatred and anxiety later, he responded.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjL9rmFZtg
Izuku: “Don’t worry, there won’t be any more surprises.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lY6dFmvoH
Recovery Girl: “What about the healing?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPBoxflOks
Izuku: “… Besides that. Anyway, what about it, Yaoyorozu?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbgX9Zhb0r
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.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrCgzCksc1
Izuku: “I… don’t know. Just one wrong move and… ”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3CFPZqOAx
Momo: “You trusted me with One for All; trusting you with this is the least I can do.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpPz6MV4ZX
Izuku: “… I’ll think about it.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03hx3mOnvM
Recovery Girl: “That’s all well and good, but can we return to how he can heal?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOaijO0isT
All Might: “You won’t let that go, will you?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqBZohRYge
Recovery Girl: “Never.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwt4he614n
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.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgnSqJaVn0
Nezu: “Fascinating, it’s almost like your quirk is alive.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZWmm0fAiZ
Izuku: “It’s not.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2mlOWzAh5
The principal, someone not known to show any fear, felt his hair stand on end.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU20lloTjs
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.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQkB0G0e0w
Izuku: “I suppose. I’ll try.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KszU7uCld
Momo: “So… can you come over to my house again? Maybe tomorrow night before internships.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDth1IUGIu
All Might & Recovery Girl: ‘How bold!!’
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeBoHzZClI
Izuku: “I-I-I…
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq0L53snIO
By all that is good, he wants to say yes. But that wouldn’t be right, not to Kiri.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMQAUnZJIu
Izuku: “I-I can’t.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTocHEXAgGQ
Momo: “Oh… ”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHklEhXezJo
Her face falls, and the heart cracks a little. There is only one reason why he would refuse.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgibZwR2po
Izuku: “It’s just… it would be-”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk8s4HPT6i
Momo: “I understand. We can do it some other time.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJIkYtTMit
She gives him a forced smile and accepts that it won’t be that easy after all.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebQeKBY2Ir
Recovery Girl: “Young love, as complicated as I remember.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJBIOcQsse
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.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3gU4Z5wrc
Momo: “I will. Thank you all for everything.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKhuqcpky9
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpPprDglWH
Wanting to fill the silence, the boy asked a question.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK5T6tZmgY
Izuku: “S-So, who are you interning with?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfjZk2M9VI
Momo smiled before giving her answer.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYXVQSXDfJ
Momo: “I was going to intern with Uwabami, but after gaining One For All, I think I’ll go for Edgeshot.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr0NMLJeuv
Izuku nearly tripped over his foot when hearing that.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTxIXKs1gV
Izuku: ‘The same as Kiri… ’
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ64Ap9tfV
Izuku: “Why?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbNN3vbHqB
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.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLKr4j9vnr
Izuku: “T-That’s a good idea. I’m sure he’ll-”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMZLXzjCeA
The hairs on Izuku’s head stand on end; a familiar presence makes itself known at the school gates.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WXUthqVIa
Izuku: “Yaoyorozu, can you go on without me? I need to talk with a friend.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCUFy2NoEZ
She looks between Izuku and the other student.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3y3G9diuO
Momo: “Are you sure? Is something wrong?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9HD2mYNSX
Izuku: “It’s alright. Just something I forgot to do.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Q5KFjg7L
She can tell that smile was forced. But something was warning her to not interfere in this.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQiyhs7TpE
Momo: “Text me tonight so I know you’re alright.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFJaidXPiu
Izuku: “O-Of course.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYqVbMG1pD
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfvZ5tDAiI
With her worries lessened, Momo made her way out of the school grounds. That left Izuku and his first apostle.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfFCj8xgKb
Shinso: “We need to talk.”
