And so time passed for the students suspended.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdUXL4GRRu
Unable to go to U.A, they mostly self-trained, studied, or relaxed. For Izuku specifically, he got more comfortable with his powers and his current romantic relationship.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2B2MfUNjM
It was peaceful, something the boy greatly appreciated. But eventually the time to return to school arrived, and with it the possibility of more conflicts.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBLKF0loGJ
But now?
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmH93MComo
Izuku is confident he can face them.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWpOGwbwIR
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadgrmlHNsC
Aizawa: “Welcome back, problem children.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCxyLIbREu
The teacher said in front of the restored class. After catching up with each other, the class resumed as usual. Like they never left.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CUAgFpUqe
Aizawa: “Now that the class is back to normal, we need to help those behind catch up. Winter break is fast approaching, but I’m sure you all don’t want another break to waste away too. So we’ll be going to a Winter Break Forest Lodge.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarW0w2bIar
The whole class erupted in cheers. A forest lodge, even in winter, means hot baths, fireworks, and good food.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl8Qk0xK8y
Aizawa: “However, should any of you fall short of a passing grade for the end-of-year final exams, then you’re stuck in school, in remedial hell.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0ewkWU4hG
And that’s when the cheers slowly died down as the words sunk in.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92yDHDaoBw
Denki: “I haven’t studied at aaaalll!! With the sport festival, workplace experience, training, and I-Island, I never stopped to properly study!!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVeCgPLqRX
Tokoyami: “Indeed.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfuz3JP5uo
Mina: “Ah hahaha, me neither.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhS9csbNrF
Says the 14/15, 10/15, and 13/15 students when it comes to grades. As for the bottom…
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbp9pSVav1
Kiri: “Ugh.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroh3SkeBAe
15/15.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwDnf0ft63
Yeah, the break, inner crises, and relationship drama didn’t really allow for the poor girl to catch up to her peers. That, and she didn’t like studying.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9Fb2RlraX
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri, I’ll help you study.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmvwznTiH5
8/15.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDZg5Bhvlu
Denki: “How?! You were suspended!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIiyra46QE
Izuku: “I studied when I could and asked Aizawa for the work I missed. I couldn’t do everything, but it helped.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgQT5kyRzb
Ida: “Bravo, Midoriya! Bravo! I did the same!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKoFjty2Ey
5/15.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ydnBcBubE
Denki: “Seriously!?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ITFOMirIL
Mina: “You think that’s impressive? Look at Yaomomo.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThgWB6BddI
Momo: “Haha.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kvMu9IFng
2/15.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNlW5upAhE
Denki: “Missed days, and she still gets top scores. That’s insane.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuEGwoqKzl
Todoroki: “You were actually in class; you shouldn’t be getting failing grades.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuReTQMWvDh
3/15.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PJUrXHV5f
Denki: “Mind your words!!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ4uAHyAqR
He says while grabbing his chest from the emotional damage. Meanwhile, Izuku smiles at the boy’s antics while glancing at Ida’s new leg.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp5xK4J3cu
Izuku: ‘Good to see it’s holding up. Melissa probably gave it a checkup over the suspension, all while getting used to U.A. I’m glad Ida can enjoy school again.’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwpDcFJE2o
Thinking back on what caused this to happen, the boy’s eyes darken.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC9Yvf4P4Z
Izuku: ‘I won’t let anything like that happen again. But to focus on that, I still need to take care of a couple of things.’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU7vflMJb8
He turns to the current top scorer in the class, Bakugo. The explosive boy doesn’t turn to face Izuku, but he knows he’s being watched.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWRdo2yi3V
Aizawa: “Enough.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl2ThQGV3M
Everyone stopped talking and returned back to front.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy8UFBtytL
Aizawa: “If you don’t want to fall behind, you should take initiative like those suspended. If you have to, create a study group.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAfKNtDIdY
Momo: “Oh, we can do that at my house! I would love to help everyone with the technical side of the exams. Izuku and Kiri can help with the practicals.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXK3arvM2T
Izuku: “Yeah, that sounds good.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxerwWrZsEw
Kiri: “Nh.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUiNPECio0
Jiro: “Really? Thanks, Momo.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlNWl2XX9P
Mina: “Yaomomo, you’re a lifesaver!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBzigmTPqU
Kirishima: “Yeah, let’s do our best, everybody!! For the Forest Lodge!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpohF8bmAlE
Everyone: “For Forest Lodge!!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLbPq7KEdK
Aizawa: “Quiet.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AddAlkkJe
…
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RI6bJBrsD
…
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85UfFJPfsn
Aizawa: “You all still have normal classwork to deal with first. So let’s begin.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKbCbbahpo
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgb20kkb9D
After the intense classwork the group had to do, it was time to relax at lunch. In addition to the usual suspects, another girl decided to sit and eat with them.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzagKbIGms
Melissa: “Hey, everyone.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKSpan5wtI
After everyone gave their own form of hello to the girl they met on their recent adventure, Izuku asked the first important question.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2usJYcouYP
Izuku: “How are you liking U.A?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRkOUVkaMf
Melissa: “It’s amazing! Everyone is super nice, and their quirks are a wonder to see up close. Nothing really compares to you guys, but it’s the experience that counts.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAIeHxpqW6
Ida: “I’m happy to hear it. Thank you and Yaoyorozu again for everything you’ve done.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiSOFAWm4R
Melissa: “No, it’s fine. I’m happy to help.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMOejaD2GQ
Momo: “I feel the same. I’m just glad you can be a hero again.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUYwLMriVm
Denki: “Yeah! It’s great to see you back in action, man.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDOuMg9cRM
Kiri: “Nh.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgWtj1DgGG
Ida: “You’re all too kind, thank you.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyLo4nkevo
Melissa: “I’m glad to see our Engine Project is working so well. But I hope we did enough for your upcoming exams.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEfMFbIKg0
Ida: “I’m confident you did.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJNymaF62H
Izuku: “But it is worrying that we can’t know what will be on the practical test exercise.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH6xRTgpk6
Ida: “Nothing too wild, I would think.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS8gATYKzH
Deciding to join the growing conversation, Uraraka and some of the other girls nearby chipped in.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG9Xj3vN7c
Uraraka: “We can still pull it off, the normal subject test, that is. Especially with Yaoyorozu helping.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy58cqS1wT
Mina: “Yeah! Yaomomo, you got this.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI6SffewyX
Momo: “You know I’m not taking the test for you, right?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZuPUQqzyF
Kirishima: “But what will the normal subject test be about?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PPfeVNvMs
Tsuyu: “Aizawa said it will be an overall summary of what we did this semester. But he didn’t tell us anything apart from that. Kero.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvxVU42SKf
Uraraka: “He gave us the battle trials and rescue. The rest was almost all basic training.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w8pE11q3c
Denki: “So basically, we just study everything and train until we-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYziMBHFtA
Denki: “Oww!!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMeK6eJl8j
It was then that Denki’s head was hit by someone’s elbow. The group turns to see one of the class B kids behind Denki.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8viXZ00Cv
Denki: “What’s the big deal!?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyYdZOGhnV
Jiro: “Yeah, you… what’s your name again?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw2muYhOkR
Mina: “Moron something?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu36nwSUWo
Neito: “It’s Neito Monoma you-!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPIzqDf6cg
Taking a breath, the boy reclaimed his cool and answered the first question.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGb70EZ6ru
Neito: “My bad, your head was so big that I ended up hitting it by accident.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QcBJoGYE7
Denki: “Tch, sure you did.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fdmB2TwyX
Neito: “Hey, I heard some of you fought the Hero Killer.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUslO6ABei
The class table suddenly got colder as their eyes narrowed at the soon-to-be corpse if he didn’t keep his mouth shut. But run his mouth he did.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVACCRZKTSN
Neito: “The ways in which you’ve been basking in the spotlight have only multiplied ever since the school festival, haven’t they, Class A? Only the attention you’re grabbing isn’t out of exceptional skill, but instead the attention you’re grabbing is in the form of trouble!!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTOUeIXS4M
Under the slightly floating table, fists are being clenched. One more slight, and hands might be thrown. Yet still, the man keeps going.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif05wVgWID
Neito: “Man, it’s so scary! One day, we might get wrapped up in the trouble you lot call out of the woodwork, and then we’ll get hurt! So scary, I-PWAH!!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4W91ITQIQ
Luckily for him, he was saved by a sharp chop to the back of the head.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JhNgoaOJ2
Kendo: “That’s not funny. Don’t you know what happened to Ida?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u2z2q0Vjo
Kirishima: “Yeah… he was going too far.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY77nxDDn0j
Kiri: “Nh.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHKaGQH2J8
Kendo: “Sorry about him. This kid’s heart is… well… you know how it goes.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mCNbncRCB
Mina: “I think it’s his head, not his heart.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OUOE3pIJ4
Izuku: “Either way, it’s no excuse.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmmOQjgij2
Kendo: “I know. Almost makes me wish I let Akashi do this instead. But I was sure she would have put him in the hospital.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDxOhxUXaI
Kiri: “Well deserved.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOLWtfp9K3
Kendo: “Anyway, let me make it up to you. I heard you say that you couldn’t know what the final exam exercise would be. Well, I’m told it’ll be like the entrance exam. That is, a battle simulation exercise fighting against robots.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgV4VbmUWY
Izuku: “Really? How do you know?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GsN6DHlYG
Kendo: “I know an upperclassman personally and asked. I know that’s kind of cheating but-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStyz0MxPxB
Izuku: “No, it’s not cheating. It makes perfect sense that the acquisition of prior knowledge would be integrated into the exam structure itself. After all, information gathering is important work.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b62K1X5nS
Izuku: ‘I should have thought of that. Or read someone’s mind. But that actually would be cheating… I think.’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2GT4LeuJJ
Kendo: “Well, when you put it that way, I don’t feel as bad.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrEsmvMbwz
Neito: “Kendo, why? You just threw away our advantage! This was our chance to-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqRWijps5l
Kendo: “Quiet. Or I’m telling Sabrina.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP0n8UvEiB
Neito: “… I’ll be quiet.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnsw4FOV0I
Kendo: “Good. Later, Class A, sorry again.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF2KBWtM6z
With that, the girl carried the fool back to their side of the cafeteria.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhjOFJdW31
Denki: “You know, she’s kind of like the big sister of Class B, don’t you think?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBETa95DDBZ
Jiro: “If she’s the big sister, then Sabrina must be the mother.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L05nzhUMP
He might be gone, but his words still linger among the group.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJOX3NN0ip
Melissa: “Ida, are you alright?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4ksZk225I
Ida: “I’m fine; I won’t let what happened hold me back like that. After all, they’re just words.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGBSmfHQdg
Melissa: “That’s very mature of you. Still, I guess not everyone here is nice, huh?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tFW8GrZW8
Izuku: “Yeah… they’re not.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnA9EINUg1
Again, the boy looks at Bakugo, who was the only one to sit apart from the rest of the class. Even Todoroki and Tokoyami sat with them, even if they didn’t say much.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJkc2tsKhg
Uraraka did try to get him to join, but he shooed her away. So right now, Bakugo is isolated and alone with his thoughts. But those thoughts aren’t his alone. Izuku was tired of waiting.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAEDaN5WI9
Izuku: “Bakugo.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyRMOVrzXg
The boy stilled; sweat dripped from his forehead as the fight-or-flight instinct kicked in.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUZTPQFYwq
Izuku: “Don’t react. Just listen. Today is the day. Tell Uraraka, or I will. Tonight, we settle things at the park where I first fought you when we were kids. Nod if you understand.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5quB3v8BNM
Unbeknownst to all, he gave a slight nod.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNst5C5zaWf
Izuku: “Good.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxcaN8GGQx
Back at the table, Denki tries to get everyone back on a more lighthearted track
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhXexrSrJG
Denki: “Forget that guy, we should be focusing on what Kendo said. If the practical exam is just robots, it will be a walk in the park!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS33vlGbhOw
Mina: “Yep! No holding back! Easy as pie!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7FwutTVDv
Tsuyu: “Will it really be as easy as the entrance exam?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYeCJiV58w
Uraraka: “Yeah, they could throw an army at us.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ILICYCXyz
Jiro: “I doubt they have the budget for that.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0I766vr7n
Denki: “Right? So we’re shoe-ins for the frost lodge!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQYOEMdjC2
Seeing that the conversation was returned to something more jovial, Izuku returned his focus to eating. There’s something far more important than exams on his mind right now.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3FxFNz1gP
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyA5DtiMLH
Soon the day ended, signaling the last chance for Bakugo to tell Uraraka.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCY1ud2xUS
Izuku: ‘He’ll probably tell her while walking out of school.’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq4mlWr2wP
With that in mind, Izuku turned to the two girls walking with him and made a choice.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcytvL6sm6
Izuku: “Momo, Kiri, I need to stay behind.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnNvd7XOva
Momo: “What’s wrong?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2axD7MmF0E
Kiri: “… Bomb Boy?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ706pDjRqoQ
Izuku: “Yeah.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA3jXe1Nc1
He proceeds to explain his plans and the conversation he had with his former bully.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFbz1jbexQ
Momo: “I’m glad you didn’t do anything like that, Izuku.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFyfwMug0i
Kiri: “… I guess.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3FPux10vT
Momo: “Kiri! He can’t kill Bakugo; he’s trying to be a hero.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEluudkaYXB
The girl sighs before explaining herself.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM7TKXfyFO
Kiri: “I know, but… I hate him. For years, I felt what Onii felt, the negativity that nearly caused him to… ”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuoDh1wkVq
Kiri held her arms as those particularly bad days floated to the surface of her mind.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7dS570Rw6
Izuku: “I… don’t know if I would have survived without Kiri eating the worst of my negative emotions.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ46KFymnx
Momo: “I’m sorry you two had to go through that.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mL6icrvBW
Like a mother with her children, Momo hugs them both.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvDozoRprP
Izuku: “Thank you, Momo.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rRNmLxLj4
Kiri: “Nh.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRaIaxCKZ2
Momo: “Always. But still, don’t let what he did to you change who you are. You are not a killer.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonrbRV3pAV
Kiri: “Agreed. Hero.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbQddFG0Oe
Izuku: “… You’re right. Thank you.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHfmVlniBI
With that, he said his last goodbyes. Kiri won’t wait for him and will instead inform Inko that Izuku will be late due to handling his past trauma. Yes, his mother should know what is happening. His sisters too, when they are ready to talk.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi1BAmb8Mm
Waving his girls goodbye, Izuku narrowed his eyes and faded into the dark shadows cast by the dying sun. It is here where he sees Bakugo calling out to Uraraka.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZSJWXUyoW
Bakugo: “Round Face! I need to talk to you.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQartiASLt
The poor girl nearly jumped out of her skin when called. But it was just surprise; she quickly recomposed herself and went to Bakugo.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAeC99Vm4a
Bakugo: “…. Follow me.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsX2Wq0Ip8
Uraraka: “Um… okay.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdyMDlEPbI
Izuku can see the blush forming on Uraraka’s face and instantly knows the feelings are mutual.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe72UHWTwrc
Izuku: ‘All the more reason.’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtUYBNEJHJ
Uraraka followed Bakugo to the back of the school, a relatively private area. This only made her blush deepen further. This was the perfect place for a confession.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iPnQ9CQwZ
But it won’t be one she’s thinking of.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6PPweT0PU
When they reached their destination, Uraraka fidgeted with her fingers before asking the question.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuhkTC1vWT
Uraraka: “S-So, Bakugo, what did you want to talk about?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ082zFCxvzl
Her voice was soft, like an angel’s, and somehow had an edge of seduction to it. She didn’t know how this little encounter would end, but she was prepared and eager for nearly anything Bakugo asked of her.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7OxuW7oZv
Bakugo: “Listen… I…”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7wBbBpnoM
He gritted his teeth as oxygen became harder to intake. Izuku was still nearby, able to sense them both and their surface thoughts.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjsnqVUGT0
Bakugo: ‘Why is she looking at me like that?! She looks… cute… do I really… damn it! I don’t want to do thi-!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNxQ6ujXop
Izuku: “But you will. You will tell her everything you did to me.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOL4c0JUQa
Bakugo stilled in horror. Yes, Izuku was still around. He couldn’t escape this.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolVi03ip9P
Uraraka: “Bakugo, are you okay?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj48wcTj59T
She goes to touch his arm. Bold, but considering the circumstances, she thought it appropriate.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86kVXFsCGL
But not Bakugo, he backed away and showed a fear Uraraka never thought she’d see on his face.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25y11405SV
Uraraka: “Bakugo?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlQQ7q286H
Bakugo: “Round face… I… Damn it!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyw8GAtgpo
There it was, and Izuku couldn’t help but smile. Bakugo let it all out, everything he did to him. It was a mess of emotions laced with the occasional excuse, insult, or deflection.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavnffnaLVn
The frustration with the situation, coupled with the desire to not lose this connection, caused Bakugo to try and lessen his actions.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX29xkRhVE
But he couldn’t; Uraraka wasn’t dumb. So over the course of those scream-filled minutes, her face became increasingly pale.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxPkF2rJEq
The rough but, deep down, well-meaning boy she was slowly falling for was gone. The respect she held for him shattered.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCswNUVY1W
Who she thought Bakugo was, wasn’t real. No, this boy was someone who bullied her friend to near suicide. This boy betrayed someone he used to consider a friend just because he was quirkless.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXllUDFzQWs
That was if she bullied Ida for losing his legs and becoming essentially quirkless. She could never.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w85XzNZJN
The fact Izuku came out as good as he did is a miracle. That miracle has a name, but she doesn’t know it, so Bakugo seemed even worse.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHtSabrPkR
In the end, she stood stunned while Bakugo breathed like he just ran a marathon. He looked to the girl he was developing feelings for and asked-
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBqwLon94K
Bakugo: “Well!?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcify2E7Yq
A moment later, his cheek was stung by the slap of a heartbroken woman. His eyes widen as he slowly turns back to a tearful Uraraka.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16KwjLP3rv
Uraraka: “B-Bakugo… I-I don’t know why you told me this. A small part of me wants to believe you did so to show how serious you are about me. No secrets between us, you know. But this? I… I can’t… ”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeITk0cB4C7
Bakugo: “But-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8HDADntI3
Uraraka: “We’re trying to be heroes!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjNrOWTMdA
Bakugo: “I will be a hero!! The number 1 hero! I’ll surpass All Might!”

Uraraka: “You don’t deserve that! What kind of hero bullies someone to suicide? What kind of hero betrays their best friend?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuq1ANkoaF
Bakugo: “Deku isn’t my friend!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZkKIOon1i
Uraraka: “… I guess he isn’t. But he is mine. More than that, I can’t be with someone who shows no remorse for what he’s done.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU6hGoAGAm
Bakugo: “So that’s it!? You’ll just leave because of fucking Deku! Do you like him or something!? What? You want to be a part of his harem too!?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRAbyJeCas
Uraraka only cries harder from his cutting remarks. Unable to take much more of this emotional turmoil, she turns around.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IIpkPHgRC
Uraraka: “G-Goodbye, B-Bakugo.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aqdOhqaTW
With that, she walked away. It was then that Bakugo fully realized what he had done. Who was walking from him.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7F7o890p8
Bakugo: “Round face, get back here!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHKeKx332k
She continues.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D5GVvDt0j
Bakugo: “Damn it! Stop, wait!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkZiZPWroi
She’s almost around the corner.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuSSjZUmOI
Bakugo: “Uraraka!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiobg4ITxk
She was gone.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVwxYW3Ad1
His head drops as he realizes that he only made things worse with his last words to her. But he was so angry! He couldn’t control what came out of his mouth.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2mcyta3P2
But that anger has long faded; only emptiness remains.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15Jz70Srgq
Bakugo: “I-I’m… sorry.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7y8cTeP08
Izuku: “She’s not the one you should be begging for forgiveness.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk4sMqYsJb
Bakugo: “DEKU!! THIS IS ALL YOUR-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSxP0Y4i1h
Turning around, he saw a truly horrifying sight. The once golden glow of the sun seemed to choke and die as Izuku walked toward him, turning into a sickly black and green.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTyzi6SPUW
Bakugo: ‘Is this… real?’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxup6F1MKyX
He was stunned with fear, unable to move as Izuku approached him with a cruel smile. The prince patted Bakugo’s red cheek as his final words of the evening echoed in his mind.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wkixx1wCC
Izuku: “Good job, Bakugo. All that is left is our fight; don’t be late.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtnK5x2G74
And just like that, Izuku was gone, and the light returned to the world. But not to Bakugo’s mind and soul.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRyIber2sK
He looks to the sky and knows, deep down, this will only get worse.

Izuku reappeared in some alleyway and covered his mouth. It felt sooooo good to see that. A maddening laughter escaped his hands as his eyes rapidly flashed several dozen colors.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkncPXD2vE
Clearly, the beings in his mind also enjoyed the show. They wanted to do more, so much more to him. Izuku was tempted to let them.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38PmtyfyLo
But he won’t.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfo3hrAfnw
Reaffirming control over himself and the legion within, Izuku leaned against the nearby wall.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVRXD5GoVn
Izuku: “N-No, I’m a hero. I won’t kill or torture him… much. And this is my fight. No one will interfere, understand?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvyCT174h4
The legion obeys the prince, retreating into the shadows of the depths.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWoYEQ9cNW
Izuku: “Still, you can still enjoy the show. I won’t lie, I like getting back at Bakugo. And I’ll enjoy it even more tonight.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Kq4AzNUT
Izuku: ‘I can’t wait.’
