The morning light is the first thing our young esper wakes up to. Unfamiliar walls and supremely soft sheets assault his senses.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAAKiott3i70
Izuku: ‘Where…’
236Please respect copyright.PENANAhJIjJwcylf
Then the memories return, and he nearly erupts from the bed in embarrassment. Speaking of beds…
236Please respect copyright.PENANA6v5KsNWLMV
Izuku: “M-Momo?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAweVwYdDETY
The girl he nearly gave everything to was missing. Her warmth was still there, soft and inviting. A few hours within wouldn’t hurt. But he still has internships, and he has to explain to Fubuki where he was.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8CRV8EBzk
Izuku: “Great… ”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAWScN2ZjOEj
No use moaning over it. He reluctantly exits the bed and rediscovers the bathroom he used last night. Freshening up, he accepts the small change within.
236Please respect copyright.PENANALbrgDGKLj2
Izuku: ‘Sure, I want M-Momo. A lot. But I also want Kiri. I don’t want to make either of them sad. Can it… be possible…? ’
236Please respect copyright.PENANAqxBi1JS85c
As he places his hero costume back on, he takes a step forward.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAUoIdjIs5oX
Izuku: ‘It wouldn’t hurt for them to be friends at least. Yeah, that’s all.’
236Please respect copyright.PENANAu5U8YqK45l
With that rationalization out of the way, the boy goes to the living room and eventually smells something cooking. Following the source, he is blessed with the sight of Momo making breakfast in the kitchen.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAgL5yO3cwKS
Her hair was down, and she was wearing casual wear that perfectly emphasized her soft figure. Sensing his presence, she turned around and gave him a smile worthy of the greatest wife award.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAS6kPdX0QIf
Momo: “Ah, good morning, Izuku. You came just in time. Sit down; it won’t take long.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAApGFVb7bho
The boy was starstruck by the sight of a beautiful girl cooking for him.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAhXlaO5LuXF
Izuku: “Y-You’re cooking… for me?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANALvIo4cnhw1
Momo: “Yes! It’s my first time, but I think I got the hang of it.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAXZ2lOWj27j
Izuku: “T-Thank you… ”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAavVVmNnSh2
Dragging his body to the table, he tried to come to terms with the situation.
236Please respect copyright.PENANApzGMGw8jCO
Izuku: ‘It’s almost like we’re married already…’
236Please respect copyright.PENANAHksVmdIwmt
As Izuku thinks that, he looks around and finally notices just how quiet the house is. He’s gotten used to it, but it’s still strange. Considering he might actually be with this girl, he might as well ask a question he’s had for a while.
236Please respect copyright.PENANA6LC7g5hZbd
Izuku: “Momo, where are your parents?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAl7HDZTfooC
Momo: “Well, they believe in independence. The butler and maids only work 3 times a week, so we have a lot of time alone.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA0pseUA1rTU
Izuku: “R-Right.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANArVQ7lfqxLr
Momo: “As for where Mom and Dad are, I suppose all over. They have many business ventures that require their attention.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAufOzGUGHFb
Izuku: “Don’t you… miss them?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA2HW7OFCvTd
Momo: “… Sometimes. But I’ve gotten used to it. Besides…”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAjgtOVgeDvx
She finishes cooking and sets the steaming meal on the table.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAGmgTtIu9aV
Momo: “It gives us privacy. Imagine if my parents were here yesterday.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAzX3zCFMrax
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, that would have been… unfortunate.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAWQjEcM3rQT
He says while taking a sip from the glass of water present with the meal.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAdB7mJceojW
Momo: “It would. I’d like for them to see my future husband while he’s decent.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAX8hSz7Mj54
And there goes the water. After coughing, the poor boy gives Momo a bewildered look. She returns it with a head tilt and smile.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAEcq9ETAPd6
Izuku: “H-Husband!?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAxfSVUWyaMA
Momo: “Of course. That’s what happens when you’re in a relationship, right? You fall in love, date, and eventually get married.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAhgC3EpVbsD
Izuku: “I-I know, but… aren’t we too young to be thinking about marriage?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAeSXzY4X34d
Momo: “Too young to think about marriage but old enough to have sex?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAbvwV88ssbf
Izuku: “… Fair point.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAVHQkWph9tK
She takes his hand into hers and squeezes enough to show the sincerity of her words.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAar1rLdaKmC
Momo: “Izuku, this is the first relationship I’ve been in, and I want it to go right. I want to take it seriously. I hope you’re the same.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAh1qL0384B7
Izuku: “I am… it’s just-”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA6YKTyp5ss3
Momo: “I know, Tae. I get it. But I have a feeling I’m the one right about her.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAS8O7HlXj9h
Izuku: “W-Why do you say that?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANATKkt6AYSgw
Momo: “Well, Tokoyami and Tae came back to the agency really out of it. Considering the fact she’s very similar to Dark Shadow, it wasn’t hard to guess what happened. I suppose she has her answer.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAgspcZBtvCD
Izuku: “I-I see…”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAP4LvEmvkuO
Momo: “… You still believe that her feelings are real?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAcCrYWukFz0
Izuku: “I do. It’s hard to explain. I mean… how do you even prove something like that? But I can just tell… when we’re together.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAHOSMpWXNot
With that, Momo removes her hand.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAMY5sSUYC4T
Momo: “You know, I~zuu~kuu… ”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAbhJZeJvjdO
Izuku: “Huh?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA4tpHayqxP9
The boy looks at Momo, who was smiling at him, but based on the red aura surrounding her, it wasn’t a good smile.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAHoQXzljhxj
Momo: “No girl likes to hear her crush talking about another girl during breakfast. One she made.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAIT7aiG4K2R
Izuku: “S-Sorry!”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAAhlW4gHoMu
Momo sighs while Izuku digs into his food. She can only pick at it.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ1pJLK8qd
Momo: “This is why I think it’s unhealthy. You two are codependent on each other. More than that, there’s so much else wrong with it. You’re siblings, she’s technically not even a teenager yet, and-”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAjHAl3ONsYd
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAPzGbq5p3OF
He stops eating and looks at the girl with a glare that freezes any words left in her throat.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAxaozdsLFA1
Izuku: “Listen, even if we… start d-dating, Kiri will always be a part of my life. She’s… like my other half. No matter what, we will be together. So I would prefer if you two got along instead of fighting. Don’t let jealousy cloud your judgment.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAKI2JncR4OC
Momo: “I’m not-”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA9DoBg3RQH3
Izuku: “Momo.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAZVr0BazAWq
Momo: “… Fine, I’m a bit jealous. Can’t really blame me? She monopolizes your time, and you kissed her first.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAGREPX24Wjd
Izuku: “I’ll be sure to be fair to both of you from now on.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANANue93ml7vt
Momo: “You’re talking as if you’ll date both of us.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA3xr9LadtkU
Izuku: “W-What?! O-Of course not, that wouldn’t work! Hahaha… ”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAAcLyAVxutl
Momo: “… No, I don’t think it would.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAhzc0wvovQJ
That signaled the end of that conversation. The duo ate their food in silence until it was time to leave. Despite the somewhat awkward conclusion, Momo was still able to give Izuku a goodbye kiss.
236Please respect copyright.PENANA3ehZ1nvQ2C
Stunned by the love and affection received, he can only watch Momo practically bounce away with joy at her heels.
236Please respect copyright.PENANA6g2EwsdVQp
Izuku: ‘I-I really am lucky.’
236Please respect copyright.PENANA7R9U1AObq0
236Please respect copyright.PENANAoxroVPTQHf
Fubuki: “Where were you?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA5s079JFIht
Izuku: ‘Nevermind.’
236Please respect copyright.PENANA0InUTl6pkG
After a few teleports, he made it back to the Blizzard Group, and his sister wasn’t happy. She was at the front with her arms crossed and eyes narrowed.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAu1bxHBOk98
Fubuki: “You said you were going to get some extra training with a classmate. I didn’t expect you to stay the night, though. Should I know something?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANARaGa3lpBXJ
Izuku: “Well… I… ”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAP14rwAaKzQ
Her face softens, and she lets out some soft giggles.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAFOK0FZ8jo4
Fubuki: “I guess my little brother is growing up. Just make sure to use protection.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAiGLy0DksM1
Izuku: “I-I-It’s not like that!”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAWV7O14qrJT
Fubuki: “Sure it isn’t. Then what’s that perfume I smell and the smudge on your lips?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA1svvWHdBIq
Izuku: “What!?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAtiK9udGsM4
He quickly wipes his mouth, and sure enough, lipstick.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAi8LgpZhW96
Izuku: ‘Did she do that on purpose?!’
236Please respect copyright.PENANANtD4xrmXY6
Fubuki: “Okay, I’ll stop teasing. I won’t lie, though; I’m a bit jealous. I guess I’m the only single Midoriya. Not counting Kiri.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANArUdAFZ5Os9
Izuku: “I-I’m sure you’ll find someone, Fubuki.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA5zqlo7UJDK
Fubuki: “Maybe… or I might have missed my chance a long time ago… ”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAd2hIv6rUiA
She shakes away the memory of that old flame she blew out herself.
236Please respect copyright.PENANA50sNUAh1p1
Fubuki: “Come on, we’re going on a joint field trip today.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA1AuuPtSZ91
The boy follows his sister into the building and inquires further.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAB98P9Dbzd6
Izuku: “Field trip?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAgTEYM0dt4L
Fubuki: “Yeah, you need to be able to patrol in different cities if needed. To adapt quickly to new environments. While we’re gone, I’ll leave Eyelashes in charge.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA6HgmGEGfXB
Izuku: “Okay, is Tatsu coming too?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANApeHP6Yq0di
Fubuki: “No, much to Akashi’s dismay. There was a small outbreak of quirk beasts a few cities away and another earthquake disaster. She was the only one that could make it in time.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAC73Dwl3G88
Izuku: “She really is always on call huh?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAad50xDrhHg
Fubuki: “They’d call her overseas if they could.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAnKwU6QG65b
Izuku: “So… where are we going?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAqPg4TqQd79
Fubuki: “Hosu City.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA2QuAdmYhXF
236Please respect copyright.PENANAa7C8spdb7i
Even Momo had to admit she was worried about Kiri. She knew the news that her love for Izuku might be fake would be devastating. But it was harder to watch than she thought.
236Please respect copyright.PENANADwpS39t5DW
Darn her sympathy.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAyIKypUlM5N
On the outside, Kiri seemed fine. She went through the motions of ninjutsu training alongside Tokoyami and her. But it was more robotic than usual.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAVbBN61EsiW
Momo: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I want to help her. Time for some more drastic measures.’
236Please respect copyright.PENANAwxQGcDzSzJ
When the break came, Momo went to Kiri, who was simply standing next to a wall.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAjpsDq5nWmH
Momo: “Tae, are you okay? You seem… off today.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAagp0VfPmE2
Kiri: “… I’ll survive. I have my family.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANATQ1M8isbn9
Momo: “So… I take it that you gave up on Izuku.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANACcIiVf8DHr
A slight twitch.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAwGUmZAtL4X
Kiri: “First names?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAqyi91NraXO
Momo: “It was bound to happen. But you didn’t answer my question.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAEIIVU6urKZ
Kiri: “… I don’t want to give up. But… even Dark Shadow seems… uncertain of his emotions towards Tokoyami.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAM58wblj4Hs
Momo: “I see… ”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAtKrnOKhUSC
She should be happy that Kiri is a step closer to backing off. But darn it, stepping on someone’s heart will never feel right to her. Her mind can’t help but see herself in Kiri’s shoes.
236Please respect copyright.PENANA4ihXRTrOgR
Momo: “Maybe… he just hasn’t come to an answer yet. I don’t know what you said to them, but I’m sure it was a lot to take in.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAKe02mgE9Ur
Kiri glances at Momo but doesn’t move any other part of her body.
236Please respect copyright.PENANASDyvJWku2h
Kiri: “Why are you talking to me, Udders?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAucVK7W6DVy
And just like that, the sympathy is gone.
236Please respect copyright.PENANA4Gh1tuX1mx
Momo: “Can you please call me something else?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANATmGkdDjIjm
Kiri: “No, it fits you.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAntjJajHpet
Momo: “Wha… you know what? You’re right.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAgJJqcbyBFh
Kiri: “I know.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANApdhjb6iSec
Momo: “Anyway! You’re right because Izuku loves my… c-chest.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAKeRM4frxFO
An intake of breath and another twitch.
236Please respect copyright.PENANA8oVKngWxlm
Kiri: “Excuse me?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAHxwH1sOC19
Momo: “We made out, got really… i-i-intimate last night. Didn’t go all the way, but we thought about it.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAJPtUHcvCfO
Kiri: “You-”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAnoVAoPbeOC
Momo: “So if you don’t stop moping around, I’ll take him from right under you.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAohdw13QzWE
She leaves for the shower before Kiri could retaliate. Along the way, what she just did hits her.
236Please respect copyright.PENANADyBFO8KAyE
Momo: ‘What was I thinking!? Why did I practically encourage her to keep chasing Izuku?!’
236Please respect copyright.PENANAIVGbTaBpQV
If it wouldn’t echo, she’d slam her head on the hall for her foolishness. But the answer to her question is obvious.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAteALNXcSmx
Momo: ‘Someone I knew was in pain, and I wanted to help. I don’t hate Tae, despite everything. I just want Izuku to stay with me instead… ’
236Please respect copyright.PENANAT3imSvyRoN
As the water hits her body, she thinks back to Izuku’s words this morning.
236Please respect copyright.PENANARHTs5F8iDf
Momo: ‘He’s right… those two will be together regardless if they’re dating or not. I’ll have to accept that and… try to get along with her. As long as she’s willing.’
236Please respect copyright.PENANAndVn2HHQVB
With that in mind, she finished the shower and joined the other two back in the dojo. Kiri was still expressionless but did seem a bit more lively.
236Please respect copyright.PENANACJUPBzdSoL
Momo: ‘It’s strange I notice these things now.’
236Please respect copyright.PENANAUn94swVPfk
Edgeshot: “Good job, you three did well today. Time for a joint field trip.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANARnf4Q8OweM
Momo: “Field trip?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAtUc29i0pFy
Edgeshot: “Yes. You’ll need to be able to quickly adapt to new environments and learn how to work with new people. You’ll be on your own as well. After I take you there, you’ll have to rely on your skills for this patrol. This will also be a good chance for you, Tokoyami.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANArzS2gpnJhS
Tokoyami: “How so?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAicaJoFXtsg
Edgeshot: “This patrol will last till the night to test and train your stamina and stealth. Night calls are not uncommon. You need to be ready.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA64kCl3ffQa
Tokoyami: “… Understood.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA13qGJk88je
Kiri: “Location?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAtgRdiCS42v
Edgeshot: “Hosu City. Yes, the other city with the recent earthquakes.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAYUyoSAaC1C
236Please respect copyright.PENANA8XhmJLOWuR
Kaoru: “No Tornado… ”
236Please respect copyright.PENANASeUr82c4Fo
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAfUaodSukD9
Fubuki: “Get over it and focus. Big sis was pampering you anyway.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAQIsBUuOcwO
Fubuki’s group consisted of Izuku, Kaoru, Alice, Lily, and Mountain Ape. They were all in their hero costumes. Alice’s costume stood out as a nature-themed suit with a white and green color scheme along with an orange glass mask. Thanks to Izuku’s suggestions, she had several pockets filled with different seeds.
236Please respect copyright.PENANA45nqMflo1o
Currently, the group is at the designated meeting place within Hosu City. Apparently, they are the first ones here.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAHqOooWqVkC
Alice: “Are we too early?
236Please respect copyright.PENANASwdglkCFUh
Fubuki: “No, just on time.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAr02xiZBg6Q
Izuku: “Then where are the two other groups?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAsM2NT2RMRY
Fubuki: “One is late. The other is hiding. Edgeshot, you’ve taught your kids well.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAoTArBYthLG
Edgeshot: “And your senses have gotten better.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAFYVjH0NUqr
Out of the shadow come four ninjas.
236Please respect copyright.PENANABOeeSSj4kz
Kaoru: “Whoa, what the heck!?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAnbdX4A2yep
Lily: “Cool…”
236Please respect copyright.PENANACKTAwLxGU7
Mountain Ape: “Tch, ninjas… ”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA1dJxWPLxuI
Izuku: “Kiri! Momo!”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAo7la21hE5C
The two girls warmly smile at the boy before returning to their tough ninja masks.
236Please respect copyright.PENANABZUIgleZP0
Edgeshot: “Seems like Gunhead is not here yet.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA60hVnjodLC
Fubuki: “We’ll wait 15 more minutes.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAQqciVJPXAp
Izuku: “Gunhead? That means Uraraka and… Kirishima will come.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAIeLwMbMJ9g
Izuku: ‘Yep, I’m still a bit jealous of him. I’m such a hypocrite.’
236Please respect copyright.PENANATuqaQ51Tgo
Kaoru: “Hey, you three have pretty cool cloaks.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAb1Q9ByVC7E
Now that she mentions it, yeah. Momo and Kiri now have hooded cloaks similar to Tokoyami, even with the same color.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAIsiTANErSE
Alice: “You really come across as ninjas.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAXRZ2kuQ2Gu
Tokoyami: “We have been embraced by the shadows.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qt0jgjKqE
Kiri: “Nh.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAdvBmZ0bFLf
Momo: “Black isn’t really a part of my color scheme though.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAxiqw591HfU
She says while readjusting the silver clasp of her cloak.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAd08kDtU2Y1
Izuku: “It… l-looks good on you though.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAW7laZD8QC0
Momo: “R-Really? Well… I guess I can make an exception.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAwmise4THB3
Kiri can only sigh at their blush.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAzkAhp5vAj4
Kiri: ‘Is this my life now?’
236Please respect copyright.PENANAfmG5Ug8aWB
Edgeshot: “Here they come.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAl1sUenaTqC
Just then, Gunhead was running towards them along with his two interns.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAhTjGR4PBzu
Gunhead: “Sorry we’re late. Had to deal with a purse snatcher, if you can believe it.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANATh7vAZa8os
Uraraka: “Midoriya!”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAvqpdnSFBHS
Kirishima: “Hey, Tae!”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAnF0Ji0nkSg
The group comes together to share their internship tales while the adults describe the plans.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAAZWPDMuHf7
Fubuki: “The odd ones out are Alice and Kaoru. Build the teams around those two.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANANiXfqpLPgM
Edgeshot: “Agreed, that way the teams aren’t all classmates.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAXHIB4bNfHm
Gunhead: “Adding one of your Blizzard Group members can help even things out.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA6Uh2IRnJqY
Fubuki: “Alright, but I’m keeping Mountain Ape with me. That way it’s 3x3.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAJtbKZvmp8i
Edgeshot: “Very well. Here are the patrolling teams. And remember, let the kids grow into their own. Only interfere if necessary.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAGjaPZXNf4J
Gunhead: “Roger.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAZmiEseKa4v
Kaoru’s Team:
- Tokoyami
- Kirishima
236Please respect copyright.PENANAs7oAVRq6Mq
Alice’s Team:
- Izuku
- Uraraka
236Please respect copyright.PENANAo7R3gEta2m
Lily’s Team:
- Kiri
- Momo
236Please respect copyright.PENANABsx7KlRi3t
Kiri and Momo couldn’t help but give Izuku the side-eye for having two cute girls other than them at his side. He didn’t meet their gaze.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAJyirmQh3Ni
Fubuki: “Make sure to lead them well, Lily.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANARPGd6nYGbb
Lily: “Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAEJR1WBuBeP
Edgeshot: “We’ll meet back here in 12 hours.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAZsBjVyNhop
Everyone: “12 hours!?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAh9p1k3HuUi
Fubuki: “The city is large, and sometimes you’ll need to patrol that long if other heroes are unavailable.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAN6353Y6ZeP
Gunhead: “I hate when that happens. Having to cover nearly a whole city with just a few good pro heroes.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA8lL9PzxQ0n
Edgeshot: “Especially when it’s for some big event or because some pro needed to take special leave for whatever reason.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAZhCspsWS7V
Fubuki: “So you all understand?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAQSNeZkfvJ6
They nodded, if a bit slowly.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAlRh4WN0ImE
Fubuki: “Don’t worry. We won’t be that far away if something goes wrong and you have our numbers.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAw0dQqKgm2Z
Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAcV9EXPoCOJ
236Please respect copyright.PENANAmotmKadsZ6
On top of the many buildings stands a killer of fake heroes. Behind him, a black portal opens. From within exist Tomura and Azrael.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAt854suOoAd
Tomura: “Hosu, man… it’s surprisingly prosperous.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAxYdPPYFEoh
Azrael: “Not for long, I’d imagine.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAvRfTsvvh7M
Stain: “I’m going to reform this city, and for that, more… sacrifices are needed.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAIfL1oNSlFV
The killer opens his arms, as if to embrace the city.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAQG7A25g52p
Stain: “The title ‘Hero’ should only be permitted to those who have achieved great undertakings! There are too many of them… counterfeit ‘Heroes’ who worship themselves or the almighty dollar. Follow me, assistant; we will teach them the error of their ways.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAbTVDLgbE52
He jumps off the roof, hand grasping his blade, ready to rend the weeds from the trees.

Tomura: “This is your second outing. What have you learned?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANALKTTLJxDja
Azrael: “He’s as talented of a fighter as I suspected. However, we could take him out if needed. His quirk seems to be the ability to paralyze those whose blood he consumes. Duration varies on blood type.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAca80AY181l
Tomura: “So just a tool?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAtffLno5o2X
Azrael: “One with a message.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA0P5GLtaNvI
The man scoffs at the notion.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAAtUX0wKrtO
Tomura: “Does he want to raise up a damn grassroots movement or what?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANANtke9b45vQ
Kurogiri: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAblJsllmoP6
Tomura: “Oh?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAEKm2lni6f4
Kurogiri: “The reality is that in all the cities where Stain has appeared, the crime rates have fallen. Some critics attribute this to a rise in heroes becoming more aware and on guard. Simply, an increase of hero activity.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA6Okgqf70tt
Tomura: “Wow, well isn’t that just fantastic! So the more he appears, the more heroes crack down on crime? So the ‘hero killer’ is also a ‘hero breeder’!”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAoC4Ij9sHCC
After Tomura stops laughing at the hilarity of the situation, he stills and starts scratching his neck.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAP3qKWVup1P
Tomura: “As I thought… at the root we just don’t get along… annoying. If you want to kill, then kill. Those ideals only get in the way.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA9LLi9HYk5Q
Azrael: “I can already tell you want to unleash the Nomus; I would advise against it.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAGnCyUyJX9c
He stops scratching his neck and glances at Azrael.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAW0Vqb7f0Yx
Tomura: “And why is that?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAE7ZYirrgD3
Azrael: “If Stain won’t work in our organization, and his goals only serve to make things worse for us, then I’ll kill him. But not before he explains to me what he saw in me.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA5iTGBvhNgZ
Tomura: “It was probably nothing. Don’t let it get to you.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANA7aFxeFvrPF
Azrael: “Maybe, but… I want to know. Besides, you shouldn’t waste Nomus or quirk beasts on this. Not unless we need to.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAgLtkgzWIqk
Tomura: “… Fine. You and the strategist did manage to acquire those big quirk beasts for us. Wouldn’t want to waste them on him. He isn’t worth it.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAKETonsyw48
Azrael: “Thank you. Where is Apotheosis, by the way?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAu99Iho5MbO
Tomura: “Tch, where do you think?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAWbJB3gv2b8
Azrael: “Right… he’s been stuck in there for a while. Well, try to relax at base while I catch up with Stain. I’ll call if I need reinforcements.”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAaIuocPExBE
With that, the eldest disappears into a mud portal. As for Tomura, he began to scratch his neck again.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAaaldATrJTr
Tomura: “Annoying… I want to crush the so-called ‘hero killer’s’ precious pride and prestige. Killing him isn’t enough. A few Nomus wouldn’t be so bad, right, Azrael?”
236Please respect copyright.PENANAUW0LJ0k75I
Sensing the command, Kurogiri opens a portal that unleashes five varied and grotesque nomus into the city.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAcNNXTgukG3
Tomura: “Level… start.”
