The next day, Izuku awoke with the feeling of something warm and alive on top of him. His sleepy eyes fluttered open to find Kiri lying on his chest, her smaller body rising and falling gently alongside each breath he took. They resembled an otter parent and child pair lazing atop each other, her little fists clutching his pajama shirt tight while she dozed peacefully. A lock of his dark hair drifted near her mouth, and she began to chew on it, even drooling a little.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiv79kM8wH
However, there’s a problem.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m95b89xsY
Kiri: “Nmu… ”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zxZUuEpHR
This is his room, and she shouldn’t be here. Izuku fought down his blush and sucked in his panic.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi7eYZdPz8
Izuku: ‘Did she sleepwalk?’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfAeOdkkiu
Glancing at his bedside clock, he noticed it was almost time to get up and get ready for school. The boy tried to gently slide her off without waking her up. Ironically, his actions had the opposite effect when she held on tighter the moment she felt her 'bed' shifting.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfntOPPU6iA
With no choice, Izuku prodded at her cheek tenderly, careful not to startle her.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xws5Fr6ph
Izuku: "Kiri?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw49ErVW44
Kiri: "Nn?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL753yLqysy
The little girl let out a small yawn.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2dwDlcdvN
Kiri: "Nii-chan… ”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAOqmFubtH
Izuku: "Y-Yeah, it's me. W-What are you doing here?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTyrgTkVrM
Kiri: “Wanted… to be close to you.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAWUZKrvQe
Izuku: “But… we can’t sleep in the same bed. You should’ve stayed in your room. Did you sleepwalk?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQaLYTXNjz
Kiri: “No, I couldn’t sleep… until I was with you.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fyKdAAW6p
She looked at him with such innocent eyes, dispelling any worries of other thoughts. But still, this can’t go on. Izuku shifted their positions so they were sitting cross-legged across from each other.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbrdFluA1O
Izuku: “Kiri, we have to clear up the misunderstanding at school.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRmC5IvgFM
Kiri: “What misunderstanding?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwkdLCjHo1
Izuku: “That you’re my… girlfriend.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWatdXjWdg
Kiri: “But I’m a girl, and you’re my friend.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3aoY5Qbih
Izuku: “Yes, but a girlfriend is something different. It’s… only for couples.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JDsEVf27x
Kiri: “Couples?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7D3eUzvGn
Izuku: “Y-Yes, those who love each other.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN41WDqdoN
Kiri: “But… I do love you.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uiVylokrB
Izuku couldn’t help but blush a bit from that. Sure, he sees Kiri as a little sister, but she’s still a cute girl. Hearing that from a cute girl would of course get a reaction.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcJiASwAKY
A reaction that made Kiri feel… strange again. More good this time.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVeb48NWJ7
Izuku: “I-I-I know you do, b-but that’s familial love, not romantic.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0LydebQ0K
Kiri: “What’s… the difference?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWAehPIQHW
Izuku: “Um, one is for your family, and the other is for someone you… intend to marry.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08jJRo9HdO
Kiri: “Mmmmmm, can’t we get married?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfyqbgi537
Izuku: “W-What!? No!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcwLq38xoB
Kiri: “Why?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxTqTSF0ru
Izuku: “Because you’re like my sister! Siblings can’t get married!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4hJhm8onk
Kiri: “Why not?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK3c6kIM74
Izuku: “Because… because… ”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOXs0MS0Ml
The more he thought on it, the more the reasons don’t work in this case. Kiri is a mental construct, so the genetic argument doesn’t work.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdT8vgVsAC
But still, he shouldn’t see her that way. If Kiri is okay, then maybe-
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpUKGkjtIS
Izuku shakes his head violently, banishing those bad thoughts.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXeRGlPTJl
Izuku: “Look, Kiri, we just can’t. Please, just tell everyone we’re just friends. Not girlfriend and boyfriend. Can you do that for me?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuwpz3PTyO
Kiri: “… Okay.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XYlpr4z08
He can tell she still doesn’t really get it, but this will have to do for now.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWRbYQAB2P
Izuku: “Good, now we have to get ready for school. We can’t be late.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyxfPgESPn
Kiri: “Nh.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4RtjQ9Qid
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlpBv8llbB
After running to school, because they were almost late and for exercise, the duo got breakfast and then attended their first class.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKovxfJoDN
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZeVCoZTgU
Present Mic: “All right, class. Tell me where the mistake is in the English sentence. Who knows the answer? Everybody, hands up and raise them high!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS2tmg5xgB
‘So normal!’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp16v4Qh25d
The whole class shared the same sentiment. Some students were dozing off, like Mina, or even sleeping, like Kiri. She didn’t see much reason to learn this stuff after all.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dbPlrUx38
The only one who seemed to be enjoying himself was Izuku. After that though, the class was allowed to gather at the grand mess hall.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviMteYZ1QY
The group was pretty big; nearly the whole class was together. Much to Izuku’s delight, he was welcomed with open arms.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3qlDd6IaJ
Izuku: ‘I never expected to get this many friends, all at once.’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwge6nYMsR
They group shared their names, the basics of their quirks, and complaints about schoolwork. You know, normal school life.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw4dcP8OoX
That did, however, leave little time to clear up the Kiri misunderstanding.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksPIbD2Sl1
Regardless, that normalcy was coming to an end, for a special teacher was coming in for their next class.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53rhJ2HBKP
All Might: "I AM HERE…"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLOplj4ZwQ
Everyone's heads perked, and wide grins split their faces at the welcomed surprise.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOEldQDJQB
All Might: "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHd1qqvUwp
"We have All Might as a teacher?!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZPimRMbl3
The class erupted in excitement as All Might walked in, resplendent in his Silver Age costume.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnoWVPhmn3
Mina: "Whoa, his style is so different! I swear I'm hearing a theme song right now!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZIe0ryRFy
Jiro: "You're not the only one."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv2hK4e9Yz
All Might proceeded to chew the scenery right up as he heroically made his way to the podium and put his fists on his hips.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyEgspmEl1
All Might: "I will be teaching Fundamental Heroics! In this subject, we will be putting all of you through your paces so that you can learn the basics of being a Hero. We'll be here quite often. This class and its subsequent advanced versions will have the most units per semester."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXIyVNR97W
He seemed to flex, and somehow managed to make a card appear in his hand.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpvS5snBYi
All Might: "So let's get right into it! Your first class shall be… Combat Training!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHEUis1Pg4
The card had the word 'Battle' written on it.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtzuAqmGgS
Bakugo: "Combat?!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PwjFTjoKj
He was grinning broadly, beyond excited. With this, he could prove once and for all who’s on top.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ012Eikx7cr
All Might: "And for that you need these!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0TsLTSP2c
All Might clicked a button and several panels popped out of the wall to the far side of the room. Each of them had five containers labeled from 1 to 15.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ9dPOVui7
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkojx4sow5
All Might: "In accordance with the Quirk Registry as well as your own written requests... here are your-”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqUyOf2dAt
"COSTUMES!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF1fGcNohL
Nearly the whole class shouted in glee. They couldn't wait to see how all of them had turned out.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SlNWWbYAT
All Might: "That's right! After you change, meet me at Ground Beta!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWLv8SZ3Kh
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWb2nNqhjq
All Might stood alone now, fists again on his hips as he waited for his students to start coming through the tunnel into Ground Beta. His grin widened as he started picking up on faint footsteps before the first of them broke into the light.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmf5lPDZBF
All Might: "They say the costume makes the hero, young ladies and gentlemen."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGPkrqFIHN
He eyed each of them and liked what he saw with most of the costumes.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui52tSuuW1
All Might: "Be proud. From this moment on, you are HEROES!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoQg2apXmb
Behind the rest of the class, Izuku and Kiri were the last ones walking out of the tunnel. He had gotten a little lost in a memory when he and Kiri first put on their costume.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjyNuIzeoI
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lFuDFAl8j
It was the night before his first day at UA, and the family had just finished dinner. After cleaning up, Inko pulled him and Kiri aside with a brilliant smile on her face.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4E5q1fq78
Inko: “Me and Fubuki have a surprise for you! Right, Fubuki?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6nX8hsLPO
Fubuki was pretty silent throughout dinner, but hearing her name finally brought her back to reality.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDsrUdcuK7
Fubuki: “O-Oh, yes! I almost forgot, stay here, Izu!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrw8MIhJrW
Fubuki nearly ran out the door.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0F8S8gM43
Izuku: “What is it?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyZd9qO6PB
Tatsumaki: “Something we made for when you were accepted into UA.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxaMjHmRkr
Inko: “Fubuki was the one who came up with the idea and even paid for it. Tatsu and I helped design it. But we did take a peek into your hero journals for inspirations.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzSKWWS1x4
Before Izuku could wonder what they made, Fubuki came back with two large metal suitcases. She floated them in with her quirk and laid them on the couch.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtnsnEC9y3
Fubuki: “I really hope you too like it. I spared no expense.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54uJOtPxfS
Izuku and Kiri got on their knees and opened the suitcases. Their eyes widen at the gift.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIuB3ALbOG
Tatsumaki: “You’re heroes now; you have to look the part.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WSpy2B4KI
Izuku beamed a brilliant grin, which brought joy to those that saw it.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Sy6R1OfB
Izuku: “Thank you, for everything!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaypPI48vPd
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZIUzz45tX
Uraraka: "Woah! You two look amazing!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV3hun1T0V
The gleeful cry from Ochaco drew all of their attention, and several more exclamations rang out.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4XZTxGcVK
Mina: "Wow, matching outfits!? So cute!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0pdIGXWvN
Mina's voice rang out as she started excitedly running around them, checking out every angle.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx5hCuJMF6
Momo: "Quite cool. I like it a lot."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46DUtYVWNA
Momo smiled at him specifically, getting another luminescent blush from the shy boy.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0odeBGFVn
Izuku: “T-Thank you.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCPbAKGSZi
Denki: "Jeez, looking at him makes my costume look like a crappy cosplay. I'm a bit intimidated."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtKZGWmSr8
Kaminari complained in good humor. He was wearing clothes that wouldn't have looked out of place at a rock concert. They looked like regular clothes.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NXcbXxGij
Bakugo: “Tch.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3cvTTo57r
Izuku's full costume looked to be in a similar style to the one All Might was wearing. It was a full bodysuit and had a green cape, but that was where the similarities ended.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yY9B11YjA
Rather than spandex, it was a combat bodysuit similar to those really old space-themed video games from the previous century like Crysis or Mass Effect.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOcQOzeFrd
It was primarily black, but there were some green accents woven in through the suit. The gloves and boots were bright green, as was the cape and the shoulders, running down to his arms. A bright green bird of prey was emblazoned on his chest.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf7RVnMC6W
Finally, an emerald sash rested on his hips for his Psi blade.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3vBYtmyd3
As for Kiri, her outfit was much the same, except her primary color was white with light green accents. She had no cape but instead had a gladiator helmet with silver wings. A helmet worthy of a Valkyrie.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOck2ARAea
Together, they contrast but somehow still complement each other well.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYDLRZ8VED
Mina: “Aw, I’m so jealous. I wish I had a boyfriend I could have matching costumes with.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfowtOps5kA
Kiri: “Nh.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6zJ0Zz4Fg
Izuku: “But-”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpmpVPJD0D
All Might: "Alright, my young heroes, it is time to get started."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglwvpMHrqU
All Might interrupted the socializing since he couldn't stay in his hero form for too long.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4utRXZNDlb
Ida: "Sensei, this is the same site we used for our entrance exams. Will we be doing cityscape maneuvers again?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wp0gwLhBA
All Might: "Close! What we’ll be doing will involve indoor combat scenarios and outdoor survival."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUXW0pwFgM
All Might: “You must be able to adapt to both scenarios as they come up. To that end, we have come up with a new combat exercise that suits the number of students.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx4rZTFKMB
Tsuyu: "So no basic training?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCn0EjQZCl
All Might: "Practical experience will teach you that! The distinction here is that you won't be fighting disposable robots but each other!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWImjHHsNDI
Some were surprised by the news while others were thrilled. Izuku could feel the burning glare aimed at him. He dared to send one back at his longtime bully and former friend.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0FGYGfzjO
They stared at each other as the fire of their past itches to ignite into a frenzy. But All Might cuts in first.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd41F1VpqX
All Might: “My Young Heroes, prepare for the 5v5v5 Combat and Survival Trial! Pick a card out of here to determine your teams.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTHoGd5XrG
One by one, everyone picked a card from the black box All Might had. In the end, everyone had either a green, red, or white card. Before the questions could bombard him, All Might explained.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hYqBb3dLp
All Might: “Reds will be the Villains, Greens the Heroes and Whites the Civilians.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4KN9lJnMh
All Might: “Villains need to capture all Civilians while protecting their bomb at base camp.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOk5PgYrXY
All Might: “Heroes need to save all Civilians and bring them back to base camp while capturing the enemy bomb. You can ignore the Villains and focus on those objectives, but that will lose you points. The Villains will still be at large in this case.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4NZFOJVZw
Momo: “That means in order to get high marks-”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RdGyugzLy
Uraraka: “We have to save the Civilians, bring them back to base safe, capture the bombs and beat the Villains!?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJBUdWa894
All Might: “Yes, hero work is rarely easy, and the odds are often stacked against you. This is a lesson you must learn early.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt4Vvvtgye
That’s putting it lightly. The Villain team is… stacked.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XmoLjtRDA
Villains: Bakugo, Ida, Shoto, Mina, and… Kiri.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtc0RBWZrO
Izuku looked at his little sister, and she at him.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJftOMKrw2
Hero: Izuku, Uraraka, Sero, Kirishima, and Momo.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHAKo8fxIJ
Kiri: “Onii… ”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVP5UYL508
Izuku: “It’s alright, Kiri. It’s just training.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYt4km9uDr
Kiri: “But I don’t… want to fight you.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7ExONSjWS
Izuku: “You have to.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRqfMRW8Q4
Kiri: “But-”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2lDsiiELy
Izuku: “Don’t go easy on Kiri. Think of it like how Fubuki fought me. This will help us become even better heroes.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bkyOl1b5c
Kiri: “Are you… sure?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrD4mlVRAb
Izuku: “Yes! Even if we’re on opposite sides now, we’ll still be together, improving as heroes.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtvD6FYiTO
Kiri: “… Nh.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxseLevx1U
Kiri nods, and her worry dissipates. But Izuku can still feel she’ll try to avoid him. It’s probably for the best, because he knows who he’ll face during this.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSHRzt5SZI
If Bakugo’s maddening grin was anything to go by.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7dX5jLNba
Jiro: “Okay, that’s all good and all. But what should the Civilians be doing?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFtm1vv5ad
Civilians: Jiro, Shoji, Denki, Tokoyami, and Tsuyu
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXVgDYZnYL
All Might: “Survival is a skill every hero must know. Your task is to evade the Villains as long as possible until the Heroes arrive.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAawhif1fDZ
Denki looks to Ida and Kiri before sighing.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuznIsAIBC
Denki: “We’re doomed.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW0ry5SWsn
All Might: “Go to your assigned areas in the city my young heroes! When you see the flare, the trial will begin!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWJBGYnR91
Izuku takes a deep breath before taking a step towards his first major battle.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg3k7Lq77L
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELgxqLLIAW
I want to say thank you for reading, following, and reviewing this story. It motivated me to use my holiday time to bring you another batch of chapters. Sad about my other story, it seems to be falling into obscurity.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCuEVo3CI5
I’ll focus on this since it’s what the people want.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMtsxtLbb2
Now, I want to say that I don’t plan to have Kiri x Izuku happen. I’m tempted, but I don’t think Izuku would go for it. Still, I think I played with the idea too much. Even I’m starting to get annoyed by the misunderstanding.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucYk1r6j5D
I will break the it after this battle so the real ship can begin. As for Kiri’s feelings on the matter, we’ll see.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfzmrqZkgH
On another note, after doing more detailed outlines for later arcs, I’m starting to regret including the Phoenix. The more I write and plan, the more I want to focus on the ground level of the hero society.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLyBtXmDGT
Much of it will expand and explore the themes that the original story covered. But that means the Phoenix has been bent to fit that, which is difficult. Primordial Vortex, you had the right idea not involving the actual Cosmic Entity.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfwv8X6UzW
But that’s life; I’ll figure it out and give you a story that can stand proudly next to the original. That’s if life doesn’t decide to bend me over a counter again.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMyA0xC8cA
Until next time.
