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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLPOyso0gk
However, there’s a problem.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefaiYE7YUJ
Kiri: “Nmu… ”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx3eHPRkGc
This is his room, and she shouldn’t be here. Izuku fought down his blush and sucked in his panic.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOABuTioEzp
Izuku: ‘Did she sleepwalk?’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMarG0aonC
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoZTn5QVxx
With no choice, Izuku prodded at her cheek tenderly, careful not to startle her.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxEVCb1a8l
Izuku: "Kiri?"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ604VCT3RRR
Kiri: "Nn?"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ040rpLYPCP
The little girl let out a small yawn.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuacdf6ynfE
Kiri: "Nii-chan… ”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWIlEJ6O2w
Izuku: "Y-Yeah, it's me. W-What are you doing here?"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeDF9DFWim
Kiri: “Wanted… to be close to you.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJocWIcfY1Q
Izuku: “But… we can’t sleep in the same bed. You should’ve stayed in your room. Did you sleepwalk?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr6UMviqkM
Kiri: “No, I couldn’t sleep… until I was with you.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo72Utez9zN
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosfnKrf3YM
Izuku: “Kiri, we have to clear up the misunderstanding at school.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0GvAdnlch
Kiri: “What misunderstanding?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrcMU33dLG
Izuku: “That you’re my… girlfriend.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQtKvdsByF
Kiri: “But I’m a girl, and you’re my friend.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFvbKvZnbV
Izuku: “Yes, but a girlfriend is something different. It’s… only for couples.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcX2dIULUG
Kiri: “Couples?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuDcLSUKMp
Izuku: “Y-Yes, those who love each other.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjLM1nZZf7
Kiri: “But… I do love you.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYjHANjJDb
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6LcsyOeC6
A reaction that made Kiri feel… strange again. More good this time.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zDFBk9uu1
Izuku: “I-I-I know you do, b-but that’s familial love, not romantic.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJXv6P1AFE
Kiri: “What’s… the difference?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafR5srGqAp
Izuku: “Um, one is for your family, and the other is for someone you… intend to marry.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCM9BFnsWf
Kiri: “Mmmmmm, can’t we get married?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp3Kc54BMl
Izuku: “W-What!? No!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbDRqo4dCl
Kiri: “Why?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n8sAaNVbV
Izuku: “Because you’re like my sister! Siblings can’t get married!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNX46IGpNn
Kiri: “Why not?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0LaB3FOSL
Izuku: “Because… because… ”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWsCzzcFXm
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz3HA3UbpG
But still, he shouldn’t see her that way. If Kiri is okay, then maybe-
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTBPQkk2EV
Izuku shakes his head violently, banishing those bad thoughts.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvGMtAv8oI
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?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEEcgHyvjw
Kiri: “… Okay.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKFoCOnGXz
He can tell she still doesn’t really get it, but this will have to do for now.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL4Om3lGgU
Izuku: “Good, now we have to get ready for school. We can’t be late.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdYHqFhlZs
Kiri: “Nh.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGR6lJvfdP
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndbROmLiLh
After running to school, because they were almost late and for exercise, the duo got breakfast and then attended their first class.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UdHJ6qyp2
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCOfs7hI7Z
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!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErQpi3CQOR
‘So normal!’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXkv6mdoM7
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWIeSiVedY
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7slW5Qt14
The group was pretty big; nearly the whole class was together. Much to Izuku’s delight, he was welcomed with open arms.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2MEQ6atfU
Izuku: ‘I never expected to get this many friends, all at once.’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzVaF3Y6XI
They group shared their names, the basics of their quirks, and complaints about schoolwork. You know, normal school life.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7BAWClibS
That did, however, leave little time to clear up the Kiri misunderstanding.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dBuz0aTWA
Regardless, that normalcy was coming to an end, for a special teacher was coming in for their next class.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYKrQP8ZZc
All Might: "I AM HERE…"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SyfQuZWLm
Everyone's heads perked, and wide grins split their faces at the welcomed surprise.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQJSB2FHHE
All Might: "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4PuRnhBuq
"We have All Might as a teacher?!"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwaGfl7d6G
The class erupted in excitement as All Might walked in, resplendent in his Silver Age costume.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2nA6Vk8VY
Mina: "Whoa, his style is so different! I swear I'm hearing a theme song right now!"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefAmPGB57a
Jiro: "You're not the only one."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdv76NOJf4
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFuobyGGOp
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."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0i6BVLmRl
He seemed to flex, and somehow managed to make a card appear in his hand.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZANJCwC5M
All Might: "So let's get right into it! Your first class shall be… Combat Training!"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5ygyKNRfp
The card had the word 'Battle' written on it.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46aYJeFF0I
Bakugo: "Combat?!"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEbPN6Uvuz
He was grinning broadly, beyond excited. With this, he could prove once and for all who’s on top.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlqj7stPMC
All Might: "And for that you need these!"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K3rn3huWg
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 15.103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamjSFzxlse
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsoAx99c3t
All Might: "In accordance with the Quirk Registry as well as your own written requests... here are your-”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMwPPOjrCC
"COSTUMES!"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsw9sMo76q
Nearly the whole class shouted in glee. They couldn't wait to see how all of them had turned out.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQCeK636zR
All Might: "That's right! After you change, meet me at Ground Beta!"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bIwuzTWsD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBVvMNVdn3
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bmVRqMaYM
All Might: "They say the costume makes the hero, young ladies and gentlemen."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh6GduOaR9
He eyed each of them and liked what he saw with most of the costumes.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEqXNfKWoV
All Might: "Be proud. From this moment on, you are HEROES!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcnvWgjuid
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa68tL2PMEu
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J0Ta0kPkZ
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG3KdQYind
Inko: “Me and Fubuki have a surprise for you! Right, Fubuki?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep1CveUS0h
Fubuki was pretty silent throughout dinner, but hearing her name finally brought her back to reality.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jL44fxvbr
Fubuki: “O-Oh, yes! I almost forgot, stay here, Izu!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N8nGOLqUZ
Fubuki nearly ran out the door.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmylDDVkgF
Izuku: “What is it?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQhnrdwwEN
Tatsumaki: “Something we made for when you were accepted into UA.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vrhosAzRr
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.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6LwdCoAgI
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CV4s2UTtd
Fubuki: “I really hope you too like it. I spared no expense.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjP2RkOXN8
Izuku and Kiri got on their knees and opened the suitcases. Their eyes widen at the gift.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YLh0sBvPX
Tatsumaki: “You’re heroes now; you have to look the part.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiRPY8vp59
Izuku beamed a brilliant grin, which brought joy to those that saw it.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbuIuGcDS5
Izuku: “Thank you, for everything!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI1bFHzAi5
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5sKmRfr3D
Uraraka: "Woah! You two look amazing!"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAGrbgNqTY
The gleeful cry from Ochaco drew all of their attention, and several more exclamations rang out.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ZOG6I0wM
Mina: "Wow, matching outfits!? So cute!"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWPcONKB5l
Mina's voice rang out as she started excitedly running around them, checking out every angle.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjovXrmjyr7
Momo: "Quite cool. I like it a lot."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLh4dsbGRB
Momo smiled at him specifically, getting another luminescent blush from the shy boy.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8wqwHLzEO
Izuku: “T-Thank you.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFWUqoUOvc
Denki: "Jeez, looking at him makes my costume look like a crappy cosplay. I'm a bit intimidated."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfEG4AtF2U
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ecFtHMVg
Bakugo: “Tch.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3ZtGhl7E4
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPh1rYrawB
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3jvVaxya6
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY3DTB7xi2
Finally, an emerald sash rested on his hips for his Psi blade.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnGTFvJKqd
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqMFRHeZTF
Together, they contrast but somehow still complement each other well.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS5IVvqyda
Mina: “Aw, I’m so jealous. I wish I had a boyfriend I could have matching costumes with.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jizs8iwjy
Kiri: “Nh.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7OfA4x3gt
Izuku: “But-”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK7VsJ1DQo
All Might: "Alright, my young heroes, it is time to get started."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3jHtMKfPa
All Might interrupted the socializing since he couldn't stay in his hero form for too long.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT1cmhCHDq
Ida: "Sensei, this is the same site we used for our entrance exams. Will we be doing cityscape maneuvers again?"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt3V7rLN6I
All Might: "Close! What we’ll be doing will involve indoor combat scenarios and outdoor survival."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Ow07zeyM
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.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYa42vOgj4
Tsuyu: "So no basic training?"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvza2DcXi4
All Might: "Practical experience will teach you that! The distinction here is that you won't be fighting disposable robots but each other!"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhHxTPgiUE
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYKX1fClcg
They stared at each other as the fire of their past itches to ignite into a frenzy. But All Might cuts in first.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcySgsF8EK
All Might: “My Young Heroes, prepare for the 5v5v5 Combat and Survival Trial! Pick a card out of here to determine your teams.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyiyvs1YHA
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeBHiRIxg8
All Might: “Reds will be the Villains, Greens the Heroes and Whites the Civilians.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ASJmPFh5Y
All Might: “Villains need to capture all Civilians while protecting their bomb at base camp.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwknDC33L3
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.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGcaiARjqY
Momo: “That means in order to get high marks-”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjXfQk2O7t
Uraraka: “We have to save the Civilians, bring them back to base safe, capture the bombs and beat the Villains!?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMzPDvzV7m
All Might: “Yes, hero work is rarely easy, and the odds are often stacked against you. This is a lesson you must learn early.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBWIwodofs
That’s putting it lightly. The Villain team is… stacked.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4QleESOtB
Villains: Bakugo, Ida, Shoto, Mina, and… Kiri.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHJKzwpIQQ
Izuku looked at his little sister, and she at him.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lfYZtk3tR
Hero: Izuku, Uraraka, Sero, Kirishima, and Momo.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFJMxUeQti
Kiri: “Onii… ”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ1ERbKazN
Izuku: “It’s alright, Kiri. It’s just training.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jHnJhnf5F
Kiri: “But I don’t… want to fight you.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQBi78usA3
Izuku: “You have to.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgou76K7DgO
Kiri: “But-”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUrEXZ5dfz
Izuku: “Don’t go easy on Kiri. Think of it like how Fubuki fought me. This will help us become even better heroes.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9EqcQOlJH
Kiri: “Are you… sure?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU9JpRWFgI
Izuku: “Yes! Even if we’re on opposite sides now, we’ll still be together, improving as heroes.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AGJ2M4kGU
Kiri: “… Nh.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPBd6ktd5T
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjP4vry8id
If Bakugo’s maddening grin was anything to go by.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJjwf4nR61
Jiro: “Okay, that’s all good and all. But what should the Civilians be doing?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU0zoQSKtK
Civilians: Jiro, Shoji, Denki, Tokoyami, and Tsuyu
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq4FpkC8BY
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.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4qTrzjW8C
Denki looks to Ida and Kiri before sighing.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWCGxqb0jv
Denki: “We’re doomed.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82gEahXp05
All Might: “Go to your assigned areas in the city my young heroes! When you see the flare, the trial will begin!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRYkmv0Ehh
Izuku takes a deep breath before taking a step towards his first major battle.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTzvO2D0m4
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsDht23Bfk
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61ir39reko
I’ll focus on this since it’s what the people want.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaG90jQMSZ
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZkf1CAVTl
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk3pMLSjcE
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3dBZ27L9y
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnjoSPDa1s
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkWuYg0lrz
Until next time.
