Here they stand, on the rooftop across from one another. Izuku and Kaoru were in their hero costumes, ready for the battle at hand. But unlike Izuku’s armor, Kaoru’s costume looks like the school uniform if it were stylish and had a medium-sized cape.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvXCV6FlSr
Fubuki: “Please don’t damage the roof. That’s not an expense I want to pay right now.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAT8GQTh6p
Izuku glances up at his sisters, who are observing in the sky.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheVXzis2qM
Tatsumaki: “A nice additional challenge.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyqtvXBuAR
Izuku: ‘Right, because we won’t be able to throw rubble at each other. Have to be creative.’
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HhYKEwXUA
Kaoru: “No problem. So, are you ready?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRtnZXbBnP
Izuku: “Yes.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBT9WcrNZW
Tatsumaki: “Tournament rules. If you are knocked off the roof, you lose.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkipB6jFwj
Fubuki: “Start.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoWajUdvlJ
Immediately, Izuku felt a pulse in his mind. A gentle knock showing him that Fubuki will be bugging him throughout this whole fight.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumjW3WVIB2
Thanks to that, he only barely prevented himself from being blown off the roof by a psychic push.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOi3TTtMgM
Fubuki: “While I occasionally poke your mind, try to do the same with Kaoru. This will help with your focus and your ability to mentally affect others during a fight without… you know.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynAb8dt4Q5
Izuku: “R-Right!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC13bAhhblL
Izuku: ‘Easier said than done, though.’
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPViK4lx2Y
Due to the circumstances, Izuku had little choice but to play defensively. Kaoru was throwing air bullets and trying her best to literally trip Izuku up.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAkCEpovqp
But he dodged the bullets and righted himself before he face-planted. All the while, he kept eye contact with Kaoru, who was smiling at her apparent domination of the fight. That’s until-
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPOzwGwoVZ
Izuku: “Behind you.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvW0h4tDgv
Hearing Izuku’s voice in her head, Kaoru stopped her assault for a moment, enough for the emerald esper to-
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjKYGPgXKX
Pulse.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVB4Pmgz0o
Teleport to the wrong location, above Kaoru.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNbRTxF9uf
Kaoru: “What the-”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU8a68nQPo
Izuku collapses on her, causing them to both fall to the ground in a… somewhat scandalous position.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUUvgU3RcP
Kaoru: “W-What are you… g-get off!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGsn42ieBj
Izuku: “S-Sor-”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8q7zmdECK
Unable to finish, he was blasted into the air and again-
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVliK7JuJrz
Pulse.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaajyIfkXu
His mind is assaulted with a familiar knock. Focus broken, he was unable to stop Kaoru from binding his body with a telekinetic hold.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KYrKbZLuQ
Sensing an immediate ring out, Izuku tried to gather enough to break the binding. But he couldn’t focus because of the pulse.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJSHi38V4c
No… it was strangely weak before that. Deep down, he knows why but refuses to acknowledge the cause. So instead, he shifts tactics.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipw4S59Lne
He waits for Kaoru to fling him towards a ring out, that one moment when her psychic hold disappears, letting gravity do the rest.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W6E39ALW0
When the moment came, he forced himself to teleport back to the starting position. But when he reemerged, he felt nauseous.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKZFQZvbYj
Holding his mouth, he pushed the sensation down-
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEp8n4lhv4
Pulse.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC2ySoBEny
Izuku: “Ugh.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaApYUFeijb
He placed a weak psychic barrier up to protect himself from Kaoru’s telekinetic push. But the effort was enough to force him to one knee. Seeing his weakened state, Kaoru only pushed harder while walking towards him.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyPSxRSSlF
Karou: “Wow, this is easier than I thought. What’s wrong? Do you think you can beat me without trying or something? Or is the handicap that bad?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Uu8tDoXH9
Fubuki: “Maybe she’s right, I’ll sto-”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPuhq93FTE
Izuku: “No!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoAOYV0E7f
His sister’s eyes widen as her brother’s voice come through a bit distorted.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSFp4UoTLc
Izuku: “Don’t hold back, I can keep going. I will overcome this.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucLHzWxtqz
The middle child takes a look at Tatsumaki before making a decision. Her face was blank but focused on the match. She couldn’t help but wonder how Tatsumaki would feel if Izuku lost.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTARonkcxy
Fubuki: ‘Would she be disappointed with him too?’
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFttUfTNUsl
Not wanting to test that out, she decided to lie. This will be the last one.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaaEnqi39V
Fubuki: “… Very well.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv4UAea65X
Pulse.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNLrdfW8pn
And the shield buckles further.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8S4A13yGp
Izuku: “T-Thank you.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyhoqGGTje
His mind is a mess, confused and unfocused, making the use of his quirk overwhelmingly difficult.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTgjZ2zIHr
But that doesn’t mean he can’t use it. He just has to be a bit reckless. He breathes in and reverses his psychic shield’s properties.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0EXqqhvbz
Screw finesse, that takes too much focus. So even if it causes veins to pop on his head and blood to flow out his nose, he will go full force. Just in the opposite direction.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWycvcIAPe5
Instead of repelling, the shield draws everything in. Combined with Kaoru’s pushing, it produced enough force to pull the girl towards Izuku.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zf7DeNRdb
Drawn in by her and Izuku’s psychic power, Kaoru was yanked forward with a bewildered face. Right into Izuku’s waiting arms.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMXfyWfiYN
Within range, Izuku bear-hugged her. It doesn’t take much thought to squeeze with his enhanced strength.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfSCdiqVvk
Kaoru: “Gugh!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fsOtCzAhX
Izuku: “Give… up!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBIzVOn50P
Oh, she wants to. The combined pressure of the psychic compression and super bear hug would break the spine of a normal human. But this is Kaoru, the one who will someday surpass Tatsumaki. This is only the first step!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhHCxIOW2p
So she uses all her strength to push outward, against the crushing force. Her body lights up pinkish red, and Izuku is forced to close his eyes, but he doesn’t let go.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkBhbETAAy
Instead, his focus is improving over time without being assaulted by the pulses. But his psychic strength is still not on Kaoru’s level right now; his grip is slowly being loosened.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3CiEO33RA
And if she gets loose or another pulse comes in, Izuku fears that he’ll lose.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPAPzuDlYm
But he has to win to prove to himself that he can succeed without relying on that part of himself. But despite that desire, he is forced to use a tactic dangerously close to The First.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcboSfvyJ32
He slams his head into Kaoru and sacrifices some of the psychic power behind the crushing force. All to use a mental attack, a command.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uNoar5H6y
Izuku: “Sleep!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmngKwTj4W
A second later, Kaoru’s eyes roll back as she falls unconscious. But her psychic power doesn’t just disappear, no, it explodes outwards as the crushing force was now weak enough to overpower.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagKiIAIEJx
Kaoru falls to the ground, while Izuku is pushed off the roof. Exhausted, the boy was unable to properly fly up or teleport back to safety.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2fwv3625l
Before he can panic, green energy caught him and gently brought him back to the roof.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFvD7MXVHE
Tatsumaki and Fubuki descend to the ground, worry etched on their faces. Fubuki gets out some tissues and wipes the blood off of Izuku.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHfMykFmDv
Tatsumaki: “Are you alright?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC7Ma06tka
Izuku: “I-I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKhR6Rk8iU
The eldest looks at her brother and then at the sleeping Kaoru.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlloIExZTiN
Tatsumaki: “You were knocked off the roof, but you knocked Kaoru out before that. I guess we can count it as a tie.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U8cVrnvga
Fubuki: “And that’s fine.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf1GuUVHds
The eldest couldn’t help but glance at Izuku and narrow her eyes ever so slightly.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0mqXJumKH
Tatsumaki: “… I suppose.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFBRuG3VsC
Again, she looks back toward Kaoru and replays the fight in her mind. Then she recounts all the battles Izuku has had up until this point and the abilities he has learned. Sighing, she goes to her sitting brother and kneels before him.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kub0M2NWL
She looks deep into his eyes, trying to figure out the puzzle behind them.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7tzDX1sOW
Izuku: “T-Tatsu?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyp5rCuR44
Fubuki: “What is it? Is something wrong with Izu?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoW5mwXggo
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I want to know.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwJUnX9vKB
Izuku: “W-What are you t-talking about?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoxP4LkUtb
Tatsumaki: “I know Fubuki was messing with your head, but… I know you’re stronger than this. You weren’t holding back, right?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqan2M8LAi6
Izuku: “N-No, of course not!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNdmPqRSUL
Tatsumaki: “Then what’s wrong?
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlBEmK7Fxp
Before Izuku could even think of revealing everything, Fubuki got up and glared at her big sister.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdxvSU0UFr
Fubuki: “There’s nothing wrong with Izu. He was distracted with my mental probing, nothing more.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8CkVbrQKX
Tatsumaki: “And? I know he can handle that. Besides, he didn’t use his psi sword or transmutation. He shouldn’t have struggled this much.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VibQCFQkX
Fubuki: “That’s unreasonable; you expect too much.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPETgWpowLJ
Tatsumaki: “And you expect too little.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uDkJtnWMN
A slip of mixed frustration escapes from the building chamber within the younger.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlagX3ywLQ
Fubuki: “Stop trying to push your high expectations on Izu!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRlbqjiGwn
Matching the energy given, Tatsumaki gets up and floats above Fubuki.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjX6I0nxiC
Tatsumaki: “My expectations are not high! You’re the one who doesn’t seem to have faith in our brother! He has to become stronger!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogVGLokbxu
As things took an unexpected and heated turn, Izuku went from confused to worried and finally landed on upset.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkos15uIjmQ
Izuku: “Enough!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgDR6uwIev
The sisters stop, and their glares soften for a moment before turning to their precious little brother.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvsxTIU7vo
Izuku: “Please, don’t argue over me. Fubuki is right. I-I was just distracted by the mental pulses. Nothing to worry about; I am going to get stronger. Trust me. Now, apologize.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLORTWYHbr
The two sisters turn to each other, an apology on their lips. But whether due to pride or insecurity, they are unable to say it.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmSlWIrLf7
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “Hmph!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2aiBaZ1Io
Izuku: ‘I’ve never seen them argue like this. And of course, it’s because of me… ’
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jZZPpwlai
Again, he thinks about telling them everything he told Kiri. She accepted him; they will too, surely. The question is timing.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x5SMLJwKY
As the trio cools down, they hear some shuffling behind them.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWiynY2ekH
Kaoru: “Ugh, what happened? Did I lose?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuSVxs1bmF
Tatsumaki: “Tie.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVYsSmqVRI
Fubuki: “You knocked Izuku off the roof while he knocked you out.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7ngPIPdEK
Kaoru: “But how? The last thing I remember was the bear hug, and then… I felt sleepy.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ80D85IbM
Izuku: “I-I-I’m sorry! I didn’t want to lose, so I tried something invasive a-and… mentally told your body it was time to sleep.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N7HhC7wqH
Fubuki: ‘A mental command? Something else to try.’
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV3OzpTjsD
Kaoru: “Whoa, that’s kind of… scary.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJte8gyz5x9
Tatsumaki: “Relax, Izu would never abuse it. Besides, you have a psychic quirk; you should be able to build defenses against it over time.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bRbXMu4nt
Kaoru: “Great! When do we start?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJVjPYEQnQ
Fubuki: “Later, that’s enough psychic training for one day.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0t0J4jdRX
Tatsumaki: “Of course you’d say that.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj8itNgt1U
Fubuki ignored that whispered comment and walked towards the exit.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3dMH4yCOc
Fubuki: “Right now, we should go inside and see if Emory is awake too. I don’t want to neglect her.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHVRS27nki
Kaoru and Tatsumaki follow Fubuki while Izuku pulls himself up.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6avtOvoEO
Izuku: “Fubuki, I have a favor to ask.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PuDIHZ2Tr
The middle child turns back, letting Tatsu and Kaoru enter the building first.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctWleQ7Nfq
Fubuki: “Yes?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjfsa6Ffo1
Izuku: “I-I might be wrong, but don’t internships allow for students to spend the night at the agency? I would like to do that so I can start training as soon as possible.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyUDUJHjh9
Fubuki: “… Alright, just don’t work yourself too hard. You’re still young, Izu; don’t beat yourself up if you don’t meet expectations right away.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOyEe98BLB
Izuku: “I won’t, but the villains-”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl4LOH488I
Fubuki: “Me and Tatsu will deal with them. You don’t have to worry about them. Okay?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVL3rvWEHc
Izuku: “… I understand.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbHYpKB6Vj
Fubuki: “Good, now call Mom and tell her you’re staying over.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DTkjtvWc9
After nodding, the boy takes out his phone and calls Inko. She quickly picks it up.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1KTPbrBbS
Inko: “Hello, Izu! How are you and Fubuki?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ethvVB12
Fubuki: “Tell her I said hi.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz70O6zjSa
Izuku: “We’re fine, and Fubuki says hi.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W7aysO1tQ
Inko: “Aww, tell her I said hi too. So, why are you calling?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmKx5wJJ2G
Izuku: “I’m planning on staying the night with Fubuki’s agency. I wanted to let you know.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuToRBnEjea
Inko: “Oh, that? Toshi told me that was a possibility. Have fun!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXqC6Tj7ux
A blink.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMucCg2qHOC
Another blink?
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05vyeGD1Ww
Inko: “Izuku?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uhlRmxLIQ
Izuku: “T-Toshi?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzvxUeuhXt
Inko: “O-Oh, d-did I say that?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJX9mv6LqW
Izuku: “Yes.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PrrZ30AYt
Inko: “W-Well, I-I guess I forgot to tell you that Toshinori and I h-have been meeting up. F-For progress reports! On you. That is.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBbhZXGxHQ
…
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZPKlwiAUg
Inko: “H-Honey?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaYMZww9Ei
Izuku: “Speak to you soon.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhIrpk2KwX
Fubuki could tell something was wrong when Izuku hung up so coldly.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyPEFBfpM9
Fubuki: “Izu, what’s wrong?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoP1M0cNdP
He looks to his sister with steel in his eyes.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPHsgQDZ5r
Izuku: “Assemble the family.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi90XwVomSI
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy0TpgyYzx
Kiri’s face turns cold as she gets up from her position. Compromised, she didn’t see a point in hiding and transformed into her Valkyrie persona.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2P2I3RaUa
Edgeshot: “Nice to meet you again.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO522yx6hu
Valkyrie: “Now what? Will you try to take me in for being a hero?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqIxyMAgb0
Edgeshot: “You are a vigilante.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmvg5ycckS
Valkyrie: “I help people.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDwZ9IAjOw
Edgeshot: “Scared them more like. What you did to those quirk beasts-”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cNv6A0X1g
Valkyrie: “Was angry, and I wouldn’t do that to humans.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvwWx02kiD
Edgeshot: “… Based on your past work, I believe that. If it weren’t for Nezu, I would attempt to bring you in.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqBxPWKvtt
Valkyrie: “You won’t… fight me?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKywgFIoMUs
Her guard lowers ever so slightly; it would be enough for Edgeshot to quickly subdue her. In her Valkyrie form, she’s likely stronger and has a greater reach, but that’s something the pro hero can overcome if needed.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC5TnoP91U
Good thing it’s not.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP5VjIZkkD
Edgeshot: “No. I was one of the few who noticed the camera footage and would have tried to take you in. It did seem like you infiltrated U.A, but the principal explained things.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2K3xnZvvC
Valkyrie: “Then why bring it up?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75xO4l5icM
Edgeshot: “To warn you to be more careful. Not everyone will know the principal or be as understanding as me. But more than that… ”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWHP7LoLWA
Kiri could hear it: changes in the environment.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqCL8vhjef
Valkyrie: ‘Traps? All over?’
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNNjsjyAFp
Edgeshot: “I understand what you are, but it is hard to believe. On the off chance you managed to trick everyone, I’ll make sure to keep a close eye on you.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL3XtEOvsW
Valkyrie: “… Nh. Can I go now?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfM9fVFVWv
Edgeshot: “Yes.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs25fiXGSHq
Transforming back to her normal form, Kiri walks past Edgeshot and enters the elevator. When she pressed the button for the bottom floor, she released the breath she was holding.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFLyCqGbso
Kiri: “Dangerous. As expected.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Wj5C4nPQ
Besides her sisters, Edgeshot was one of the heroes she tried to avoid when she was just Valkyrie. It seems like that was the right choice.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbT2pnYhxG
As Kiri regained her footing, her phone rang. After a moment trying to remember how those things work, she answered with a smile. Izuku was calling after all.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iEm062zI7
Kiri: “Yes, Izu.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY5G54s5yh
After a moment, she nodded her head. This is some serious business, but despite that, she smiled. For now, she could be with her family for a while.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC8FAsadg0
Kiri: “Okay, I’m coming.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx8ckNBYiu
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbm8KNVmXa
An Hour Later
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiosmiVgX6X
Toshinori was just leaving the grocery store and walking out to his car. Once he entered the car, he drove off into the street. He stopped at a red light that illuminated the inside of his car. He looked up into the rearview mirror…
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhRIZyjmL1
… and saw the Midoriya children in the backseat.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJpiRrJ4vr
Izuku: “Good evening, All Might.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeLsIeSFP2
All Might: “AAAAAHHH!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tPRVRdRYk
The hero panicked and swerved off the road into a nearby lot. He stomped on the brakes and sat there trying to catch his breath.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWD4dD7pFn
Fubuki: “Or should we say-”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9grsF9kHC
Tatsumaki: “Toshi.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4bsk7g8kJ
Kiri: “Bad man.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6xIlHdG9Y
All Might: “… I can explain.”
