Izuku wanted this day to be normal, but life had other plans.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnFa3cn4g6
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29gAoEDlTH
Why?
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDYcgFwvJ9
The still awkward tension between him and Momo. It’s so bad that Izuku had to be told multiple times to pay attention.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcY9b3FJ1P
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJFWTbLYHP
No words were spoken, which seemed like the nail in the coffin of this-
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwHENZjhsI
Momo: “Midoriya.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvN6O3E3WR
Izuku: “Y-Y-Yes!?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jyaZPo5gj
Momo: “You… can relax. I’ve thought about what you told me yesterday.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMllzpwk4xP
Yep, here it comes. His first rejection. Well, at least he still has-
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY93wnxSxG
Momo: “I don’t want to give you up.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR4LxovsEy
Izuku: “… What?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCNPd0b4Ni
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ofYA6tbyi
Before he can fully grasp what she’s saying, Momo leans down and kisses Izuku’s cheek.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRniWXdCBjc
Momo: “I hope Tae understands.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOJN2FO5Y3
Face sprinkled red, Momo makes her escape while Izuku’s brain reboots.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzcmEpEVWG
Izuku: ‘How did I end up having two girls fighting for me?’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkAJetyAQ5
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIZMXoVUEL
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTemlJp6BE
Recovery Girl: "You blockhead."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDkVrpma7P
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkx90nklzR
Recovery Girl: "Why didn't you tell me about this yesterday?"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOh7qb2xtc
All Might: "I’m sorry, it slipped my mind. Besides, you couldn’t have checked it until today anyway."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV24lsTaZH
Recovery Girl: "Hmph. Luckily, I sense nothing wrong, Yaoyorozu-chan. I think she’s ready for the real tests.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eTDJrSnQD
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt4RvXQOel
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdn866L0jN
Momo: "Besides Midoriya’s family, is this everyone who knows of One For All?"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdtTMD2V3n
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."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY8J3Bfegf
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."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYcTxx9mzV
Nezu: "Rest assured, we are doing everything in our power to make sure that never becomes relevant."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT5V7P1Qe6
But Momo had heard enough. Her mind whirred as she pieced it together.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2LkPi3c7r
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… "
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ549fxZEFON
Momo looked at Izuku, and he shook his head.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORl1EkXXMj
Momo: "I'll be honest. I don't appreciate being given One For All without all of the facts."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazsrXctlgf
Izuku: "Me either… "
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CPHJnIt4n
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."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkdHvV3zGZ
He had such an uncharacteristic look on his face that Momo and Izuku merely nodded.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBC8pP9Rcg
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."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVlDnO9zZF
Recovery Girl: "I am here for any complications. This blockhead has told you that there will be some blowback, yes?"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXi0nTcQ4i
Momo nodded resolutely, trying to put the heavy subject behind her.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUcVBH1IOv
Momo: "Yes, though he didn't give any specifics."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN6lcBJVvE
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."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgmTcZPkvj
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBqwuhO0Tq
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."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3kuBZ9uYq
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfSlzPOXc5
They had no idea what her 100% would look like.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEyWnaWqGp
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2ohXsL70Y
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZARzdL5SqZ
Immediately, red lightning started crackling across her body. Preparation done, Momo let out a strong right cross down the street.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihD2McBwmv
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBJj289CLZ
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQSYVD4PT0
Izuku: "Momo!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDPCLrSmtL
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepIXOPbQNL
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXCtzwFgo5
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE5gJ4Oudd
Momo’s screams petered off, replaced by a long, drawn-out moan of relief.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl4SOm7mAz
All Might: "Yaoyoro…zu?"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYfp0Sj906
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCPrWuv0WX
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!
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGKL4M96t9
They watched in awe as the flames healed Momo’s arm. When it was over, she was cradling her arm in dumbfounded awe.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEjcJdiyLW
Momo: "It… it's healed?"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbg3ESjsfK
All Might: "YOU CAN HEAL?!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0eFt1DyeJ
Izuku: "I CAN HEAL?!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmbtAFPZ3f
Yeah, and Recovery Girl looked like she was about to weep tears of joy over it.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe61SMqFjOx
Recovery Girl: "He can heal!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcqRqp0QTu
It was a that moment that Izuku felt a chill go down his spine.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeiqu5OQVJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaXexDmNMn
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bfidnUd5h
Toshinori had his head in his hands as Izuku and Momo finished recounting what had happened and what he had seen.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiLKbrVKDM
All Might: "That is FAR above and beyond the blowback I expected. My word, your arm was all but ready to come off!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumD5IKcWnV
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7Y2Dkpu6N
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."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wZk6w58n2
She reached out to Izuku, who was nearby. He didn’t hesitate to take her hand.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9e6VXIzEM
Momo: "You saved me again…"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcRR86vjJt
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI711Gwkcv6
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."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpSkadZwuM
Momo swallowed but shook her head.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb5vmHiMry
Momo: "If I did, my words to you would be meaningless. I can't let myself fall after my first hurdle."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqymwhcoFg
She trembled for a moment before getting up.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv57Bat6OG
Izuku: “Are you sure?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDszgCoXlv
Momo: “Yes, I… want to try again. I’m not afraid, as long as you’re here.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OuJ77OuJC
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrHfjnDnYO
This time, her skin just started to glow with an inner light. There was no lightning this time, just some glimmering veins shining.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgDy8nyNVZ
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47tDMsM8HV
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cl7criBiW
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p6e6iOmoO
Toshinori and the others either gaped or smiled proudly.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcppQaxuzA
All Might: "Oh my… oh MY… GOODNESS!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXB2QQt6Lx
Izuku: "That was fantastic, Momo!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO5taDlClZ
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdV1FKLfHx
She suppressed a giggle. Maybe it wouldn’t be as hard as she thought to help Izuku make the choice.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Iw4ZQSNwV
Not wanting to push too hard, she pulled back.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVStLbPlyFI
Momo: "Thank you."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaE9CDZQWV
She smiled brilliantly at him and returned it, despite the red on his cheeks.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfrqTg5Mhs
Izuku: “T-The lightning was really cool too. I-I wonder if you can do a-anything with it."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGc8SsEMHq
Momo: "Any ideas?"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzSFHVLNj2
Izuku: “Just a crazy one. And it would for sure confirm if my theory on Creation is right."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsuR4j1WXx
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tBKtNow95
Momo: "Wait, you don't think-"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqj38q8BpM
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCpYznqSjB
Izuku: "YES!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0aWjJdYoU
Momo: "Oh my god! I didn't even feel a tiny drain on my lipids. What was your theory?!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrgSBKb9n8
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?"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BsFQ7dSIV
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."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR1dcoF1Me
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!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPnO8eV2j6
Izuku started pacing, excited to be proved right.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtREhJvYNo
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!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTZwGl9frC
Momo: “No way…”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rfB05mfrf
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!'”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCR5oTvjlh
Momo: “Midoriya… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6xrJIJl4u
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!
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCG5GF6gGH
So of course, she hugged him tightly and whispered her gratitude.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOKdufNucF
Momo: “Thank you, I won’t let this gift go to waste.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn6fgWqZVe
Izuku: “I know it won’t; you’ll do great.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nuhRb8eF8
Recovery Girl: “Ahem.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyXl1QcoeX
Remembering that there are other people around, the duo separate.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14rbLazuSe
All Might: “Excellently done, young Yaoyorozu. You already have gotten such a grasp of One For All, and it’s only been a day!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfgWup8FZ7
Momo: “Thank you. But I only can handle four percent for now. That is why I have a favor to ask, Midoriya.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9b8zB6SxV
Izuku: “Favor?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb8aIEyByM
Momo: “Yes, it’s related to how you can manipulate things on the atomic level.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmkhuXAjz5
All Might: “He can do that?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod4oQUhVdX
Nezu: “Oh yes. I did wonder how you turned Todoroki’s ice into water like that. Fascinating.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BSXUra77O
All Might: “Midoriya, your quirk is getting kind of scary.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG6c2UblZy
A flash of intense self-hatred and anxiety later, he responded.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUhhd1elXW
Izuku: “Don’t worry, there won’t be any more surprises.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfjGG85oEG
Recovery Girl: “What about the healing?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIlX4BkwRb
Izuku: “… Besides that. Anyway, what about it, Yaoyorozu?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVRY2ARRUQ
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoRHURjZe8
Izuku: “I… don’t know. Just one wrong move and… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNorjQi2an
Momo: “You trusted me with One for All; trusting you with this is the least I can do.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYGaV3Wl6m
Izuku: “… I’ll think about it.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygBN0PxWcg
Recovery Girl: “That’s all well and good, but can we return to how he can heal?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV50UXaswy
All Might: “You won’t let that go, will you?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmirk7DQr1W
Recovery Girl: “Never.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl45ITiRNTz
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGp5lUhrEI
Nezu: “Fascinating, it’s almost like your quirk is alive.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFqcqtxlRY
Izuku: “It’s not.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEj0l4i5gq
The principal, someone not known to show any fear, felt his hair stand on end.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdQ2rS1IKb
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pdAkcJDAK
Izuku: “I suppose. I’ll try.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ8w6Jqv4i
Momo: “So… can you come over to my house again? Maybe tomorrow night before internships.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNepSOopaYb
All Might & Recovery Girl: ‘How bold!!’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaTdqyL2dN
Izuku: “I-I-I…
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxDBMF0Rap
By all that is good, he wants to say yes. But that wouldn’t be right, not to Kiri.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFaphS8GIi
Izuku: “I-I can’t.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS6c3MpPfk
Momo: “Oh… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztzjWXeKps
Her face falls, and the heart cracks a little. There is only one reason why he would refuse.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkYdK3J9DR
Izuku: “It’s just… it would be-”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSgAhqLgRh
Momo: “I understand. We can do it some other time.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW2dxFMT8a
She gives him a forced smile and accepts that it won’t be that easy after all.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZq5GqxgXr
Recovery Girl: “Young love, as complicated as I remember.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUT9Fv6eRL
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnjAhZB0iE
Momo: “I will. Thank you all for everything.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmXnqBnMfR
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE3CRQRwJh
Wanting to fill the silence, the boy asked a question.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblhcOYpqFf
Izuku: “S-So, who are you interning with?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzuxQd2odS
Momo smiled before giving her answer.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6cj9XfofI
Momo: “I was going to intern with Uwabami, but after gaining One For All, I think I’ll go for Edgeshot.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHdRpxqvBD
Izuku nearly tripped over his foot when hearing that.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzynKia6sV
Izuku: ‘The same as Kiri… ’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy62lfCXNkf
Izuku: “Why?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIFYpFvNsi
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPbdxwLO2x
Izuku: “T-That’s a good idea. I’m sure he’ll-”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDQ2sPRN7o
The hairs on Izuku’s head stand on end; a familiar presence makes itself known at the school gates.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSX8S5XC7q
Izuku: “Yaoyorozu, can you go on without me? I need to talk with a friend.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLOXIAIlV3
She looks between Izuku and the other student.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnOUVJ4l34
Momo: “Are you sure? Is something wrong?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEfiaXzS4E
Izuku: “It’s alright. Just something I forgot to do.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI5CEAkvqe
She can tell that smile was forced. But something was warning her to not interfere in this.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wWv7w0a9F
Momo: “Text me tonight so I know you’re alright.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby5PkY2d8k
Izuku: “O-Of course.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFOLmCGFqF
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZplyM9ctH
With her worries lessened, Momo made her way out of the school grounds. That left Izuku and his first apostle.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ26klqgex
Shinso: “We need to talk.”
