Today was the first day, the first step on the road to becoming a hero. Izuku and his idol All Might have met at the once beautiful beach. However, now it’s covered by trash and twisted metal.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT8Necc9CM
Still, Izuku stands ready for his training, still somewhat in denial that this has all happened. Him with a quirk, a powerful quirk at that, and trained by his hero All Might.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrySFqD7cpa
All Might: “Are you ready Shonen?!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3BMTzjcNP
Izuku: “Yeah!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkou9EZyktu
All Might: “Excellent! But first, there was a topic we failed to discuss yesterday. And that is the ability you have that isn’t like the others.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGA0Tq06He
Izuku: "The fire, right? I haven't…really been able to use it since. I tried just a little at home."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSueKP6szX0
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jwlj3tvc6
All Might: "Dangerous, shonen. Try to save training with that side of your Quirk for outdoors.Now, can you describe your parent's Quirks for me again?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HdQVR0Dlh
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgQGTg7ck9
Izuku: "Well, mom already mentioned it to you, but she can pull things about as big as her purse to her. It takes multiple motions though. My dad…"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOwK0j9y2A
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2xymKG8xz
He looked down, remembering the few times he has dared ask about his father. The near instant anger from Tatsumaki and the sadness from his mother…was enough to stop further questions.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4waYAmwqEV
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrHSc5K5rh
Izuku: "I…don’t know. Can we…not talk about it?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCFNkjnTpq
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9JoxfwyPi
He started to mumble, his volume decreasing as he remembers that his father seems to be a taboo subject.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV0pgoxPGC
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rtP0GZ69R
All Might:"Hmmm…alright Shonen. We can leave that side of your quirk alone for now."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzZ3nS0DPK
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCDqNKAffn
With that settled, Izuku regained his composure and will to train.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSpEjwI4Hb
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0FhE1r8ys
Izuku: “Thank you, All Might.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyfJ62PYuO
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik6Rei50h7
All Might: “Think nothing of it. Now! Let’s start figuring out just what you're capable of, shonen, and worry about specifics later.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa3qS86EJS
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQADnC6capR
All Might: “We know you can lift small items and lift at least an average junior high student…so let's see what your limits are! Do you see that, shonen?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl1NLWlMhd
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqG6lPQbPV
All Might pointed off to the side where piles of junk were. Izuku turned and scanned the piles until he realized exactly what he was staring at. He’s eyes bulged out at the sight.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo6U1Um0vS
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2N010r6Ez
Izuku: "IS THAT AN EIGHTEEN-WHEELER CAB?! HOW DID THAT GET THERE?!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZtupFprsU
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjYQvjiPMw
Indeed, the old big rig was practically buried about cabin deep in the junk, with its wheels sticking out at about a 30-degree angle. All Might's boisterous laugh sounded from behind him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64l7u7wETl
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23bKtXo6AE
All Might: "Yes, this beach is truly a shadow of its former self. Had we been strength training for One For All, that would have either been your graduation test or I would have been forced to move it myself."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj6JSkJdaO
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdEgGa7RBW
He clapped a hand on Izuku's shoulder
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdYlQJ3JDk
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDjqvtVtnn
All Might: "With your Telekinesis though…maybe it'll be a cinch! Go for it! You can do it!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwliBgjrxnW
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC8HUrSvd2
Izuku took a couple deep breaths before clapping his face. All Might believed in him, so he couldn't fail here! He closed his eyes and dug deep for his power. When he opened them again, his irises were blazing emeralds.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkr10UtTZy
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpig8FayYmw
The green glow enveloped the rusting behemoth and Izuku tried to lift it straight up. There was a groaning noise as some junk shifted and slid off the pile. The sound of straining metal filled the air.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer1GgGjtOU
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0RYxztZTl
Izuku had already started sweating and his form was trembling. With a grimace, he threw his arm out as the green glow around him intensified. His arm was quivering like a leaf in a hurricane and he was letting out pained grunts.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0njs3grkP
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DaprIma2f
The big rig truck slowly lifted up, but Izuku seemed to lose the ability to breathe. Every muscle in his body was trembling and his face had turned bright red.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogCAyH5LKG
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJJXQZ8FmU
With a gasp, he let go, collapsing to the sand. The truck groaned and flexed dangerously as it settled back into its heap. He'd been able to lift it about two feet which wasn't enough to separate it from the rest of the trash.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfwg426nJm
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQPg5jReov
It was honestly more than All Might had expected. But he'd certainly been unable to hold it in midair or move it at all. And even with just that, Izuku was panting like he'd been in a triathlon. With cinder blocks attached to his feet.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH77PT0nBG9
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UTyOSDlP8
All Might: 'What an… amazing Quirk…I truly hadn't believed he'd be able to even budge it. He's had his Quirk for a day…Just what kind of potential does it have? Could he even surpass his sisters?'
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DsaXmKGYb
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VLHviQMAZ
The possibilities were almost endless and most of them were good for the world. All Might slowly grinned even wider than his Symbol of Peace grin.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM794Lgjwke
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lUP0HQrRV
All Might: "That… that was quite a show, shonen."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrBbzMNBd6
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yi7YSrDHE
Izuku: "I couldn't do it…"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dCCUfyQRe
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AeBni5gs6
He moaned, and clutched at his head.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M2FTVHIeG
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bWdsn1UCx
Izuku: "And I have a headache now. Sorry for disappointing you, All Might…"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhMea5oxjI
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1OQFwPgiQ
All Might: "Disappointed?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ8W1NLFp8
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SVlxB6W1S
All Might's head snapped to him in shock and thought-
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83yFgK45OP
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUvWn3J9Ww
All Might: 'Just what has this poor boy gone through to give him self-esteem issues thisbad?'
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomH4dFOAYK
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvHLMdZ0pw
All Might: "Shonen, I'm as far from disappointed as I could possibly be. I intended for that to be an impossible task…a goal for you to work towards if your Quirk was the type to grow in strength.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpGyRhJZhd
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeElb83u43w
All Might: “There are some with harder limits that can't be overcome. That was supposed to be your motivation and instead you blew me out of the water!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDEyTZXZrx
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK4PRbPdwR
He smiled at the stunned boy and ruffled his hair.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGiE3l6MhS
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32km1E6zJx
All Might: "I now have to wonder…were you unable to lift it fully because you believed that it was too heavy…or were you unable to lift it because your Quirk is still in its untrained, fledgling state?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi6fSDgrRZ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuwnV4pG1v
All Might: ‘Either answer to that question is… a little scary. Thank goodness he isn’t as quick to anger as the eldest Midoriya.’
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyXWKPScoV
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXyEAmq5yq
Miles away a certain green haired women sneezed a few poor villains into a building.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFukTR6jlRV
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D2BdM4M6w
All Might: "Quite frankly, if it weren't for the fact that I already know you don't have a villainous bone in your body, I would be terrified of your potential."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYd0ZDIQzD
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuzveOBZZT
Izuku was mute, blushing madly at the praise. His breathing had returned to normal though his heart was still hammering. His head was still a bit achy too.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzO3YeQjvM
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8GEt6DDg0
All Might allowed himself to revert and relax.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfabPSFV1m
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmFzD4TqxX
All Might: "Truly, it was a sight to see. Now, let's keep at it. Clearly a couple tons of eighteen-wheeler is too much right now. Let's try some lighter things and try to see if you can do multiple objects at a time."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrtCVHwlE9
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BfP68Gzot
Energy restored from the praise, Izuku got off his knees and beamed, ready for the rest of the training.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qv7F8sNph
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2OG39m61Q
Izuku: "Yes sir!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSEJHoLnPe
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjUvXW9TES
It wasn't working.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ0rtW6sq2
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGJ9SbPOoV
Months had passed since then, and yet Valkyrie still wasn't sure what to do. Ever since Izuku awoke his power, she had argued with herself on what was the best course of action. Even questioning her own existence more than usual.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV7QdPRbFz
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi5Qc4W49k
Every now and then ,between her patrolling, she went back to Izuku's mind for rest and observed his training. Each time becoming more proud of her onii-chan, yet still feeling worried. His ability with his quirk is steady increasing thanks to All Might and her onee-chan’s training.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqzwTMnBSw
Her own power seemed to have increased alongside his but that fact doesn’t offer her comfort.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerwTu8UzvB
When he eventually reaches a state where he can inherit One For All, what need will he have for her? With power like that, he would eventually achieve his dream of becoming a hero. He wouldn't need her anymore, would he?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsd41XwKle
The more she thought about it, the more her phantom heart ached with sadness. Why did she have to feel this way…
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMalN1zsVNc
Shouldn't she be happy that Izuku finally got a chance to be a hero?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswxQl6CEzL
She'd faced some of the strongest and deadliest Villains and quirk beasts without even batting an eye.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofX0RATbq4
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GdkvLgNpo
But why…
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARnAgBYHfz
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryjqO36BPA
Why was it that she felt so much fear and pain at being unneeded by her dear brother?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJdkXCW5ah
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf2MMIEMOr
Her entire purpose for existing was to be a hero, but she was now unsure if she still had a reason to exist with Izuku's nearing inheritance of One For All. He could go and…be a hero himself...
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXZs6Ad8MU
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3xqtZ08dI
Valkyrie looked to the faraway mountains, a sudden thought occurring to her. Maybe she should seek out advice from a friend instead of tackling the situation all by herself. She should have thought of that earlier!

A new day, another grueling session of training. At least it’s All Might today.
Tatsumaki can be even more hard on him than All Might sometimes. But thanks to that tough love, his power has increased greatly.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p8B2EbpF4
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj3rEnQWU0
Izuku still hadn't managed to lift the truck cab with the same ease that he could lift something smaller, but he could now hold it above the rest of the trash for a couple minutes before the mental strain got to him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe3vuTwoyw
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEQXoMoNpe
All Might had forbidden him from moving it off the beach unless he could do it in one motion. In fact, he'd been told that if it touched any part of the beach, another trash heap, or fell, he would personally move it right back.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP0H73ZKV5
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8qWlMRwdW
Izuku hadn't made much progress actually cleaning the beach yet. Mostly he'd been able to move smaller items like chairs and tires with his powers easily. Items like fridges still tire him out after about two hours at best.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XvVdQ9weo
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmfRBvWclv
In addition, All Might had finally started his strength training while Tatsumaki and Fubuki help him better his technique.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpETm1vs96
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0OFLVGe2B
They still had no success with any fire. Fubuki forbade him from damaging himself on purpose to test the fire ability. Speaking of Fubuki…
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuL7lbsW3d
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX6oy2E8FE
She was a great help when testing out the flexibility of his power. But every time he makes progress she seems…sad for some reason. All Might and Tastumaki are always praising his progress so Fubuki’s attitude stood out.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvNgob57Li
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtij50u6EJ
Despite that, Izuku didn’t let it bother him. She trusted his beloved sister with his life.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaQCtDOrEi
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevnc8rCgiR
With that in mind, Izuku walked out of his house at about five AM to get to the beach for his training, only to jerk to a stop as he realized Toshinori was already outside and waiting for him.

A very fancy car.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPlyzd3dbM
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqFZ3YT1m3
All Might: "Hop in, shonen! Today we're taking a trip. It took a while to set up around this time of the year, so I had to wait a bit longer than I wished."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa55J7QMl4
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwaoSauR5d
Izuku: "Where are we going and do my sisters know where you’re taking me?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiQkVbnqdj
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUbTnWcX3G
Izuku asked as he buckled in.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIGgNIEYZO
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fzqk2mRRx
Izuku: "And for some reason I didn't think All Might would like fancy cars…" He mumbled out loud.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd7RBXvktV
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwkeok5OsL
All Might: "Bahaha! Shonen, I’m not crazy enough to hide this from your sisters. They know but for now, I’ll keep the place a secret. As for the car, Even if saving people is its own reward, the money does help occasionally. I normally don't drive at all, but as my health declined I've ended up doing it more often."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwqfOv1isL
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFD4OSf6z2
Izuku: “Okay, how long will it take to get there?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbmUHx3EdG
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6VME4fsM7
All Might: “A while, you can nap if you like. Were the final exams for the semester stressful?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPzpohTi1X
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqDWQ0xHnX
Izuku: "Yesss…"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV5Ukn4mGs
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqDpvrPf5Q
Izuku hissed out, recalling how the semester had ended. He stayed silent for a moment before answering.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs0PTB02Bp
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEY3qMacw2
Izuku: "All Might… was I… right to just ignore the other kids? To confront Kacchan?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHvthfYOY7
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRYzXCxuKP
He asked timidly, as his mind drifted to the next time he had school after, the incident, as well as the days following it.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxa5BBgpgL
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbuhJcctkA
Izuku couldn't help but shiver slightly, though he couldn't fathom why. The day had proceeded…fairly routinely actually. He hadn't said a word about his new Quirk, and clearly the news hadn't recorded his face or actions since no one had brought it up.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ7OpnSC21
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGlCHXOjZ4
As far as anyone knew, he was still just worthless little Deku. Even Kacchan hadn't said anything. Actually, he hadn't so much as acknowledged Izuku's existence. Hadn't even glancedin his direction, at all since the incident.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlks6R6i0A4
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNrNdqJb6T
Maybe that was what was giving him this bad feeling. That was so unlike Kacchan. He was much more…
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5yo7lJaNm
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7GZ16YEHC
Explosive. Loud. Confrontational.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBJv3u5rgT
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f38fSdydv
Typical of his Quirk really.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeW7xcWuvO
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7jqlbAhKR
He hadn't even raised his hand to answer a question today. When called, by either one of his hanger-on's or the teacher, he had been even nastier than usual. No small feat when his default seemed to be set to absolute cockiness.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlGiyTtria
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6NyP2gF4j
The bell rang and Izuku hurried out the classroom, eager to get back to Dagobah and continue his training. Tatsumaki would be joining him today and he didn’t want to disappoint her by being late.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx8alZcdsU
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67fjJTtmwW
However, his plan hit a little snag. Or maybe the snag hit him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ08G3xaMb
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjPig1nUK0
Bakugo: "DEKU!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKW0diAyBa
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXbTDY9q8H
He cringed as Katsuki's voice rang up behind him. He eyed his peers, some grinning maliciously, eager to see him get another beat down. Others just regarded him with pity in their eyes and turned away.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBUBT1tU8D
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwHooiR8rp
He didn't even have time to say a word, as when he turned around Kacchan had already grabbed him by the lapels and slammed him into a locker. He let out a surprised grunt, though he wasn't yet in pain.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvkV5wH56u
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2ocISEhZR
Bakugo: "You little bastard…What the fuck was that last Friday, Deku?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ81NRaEYrO
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QJxAtr1vk

Bakugo: "CUT THE CRAP, BASTARD!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29VAi3Km1u
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNTKj6sTXi
He roared in his face, spraying him with spit. At this point, the rest of the onlookers had realized this wasn't juststandard Katsuki. No, something had happened. Something which utterly infuriated him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRDtC7oFO9
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBY5IXaQwM

Everyone in the hall gasped or started murmuring.

Bakugo: "Has it been fun, you fucker? Has it been fun making me the butt of your joke for years?!"
Izuku: "J-j-j"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPVmur0L3e
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcdTCC4TT1
First confusion. How could Bakugo possible think he would pull such a joke.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBef9rpiBy
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xEkxakTn2
Then astonishment. Bakugo really thinks Izuku thought he suffered though bullying and ridicule…for a joke.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKk5y92N2E
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvkeXAKsRI
Finally, rage. Red hot anger at the thought that Bakugo would dare think such a thing!
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R70ANRAhh
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuWTqKzUz9
Izuku: "Just what kind of TROLL LOGIC ARE YOU OPERATING ON, KACCHAN?!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ008tyvYjkT
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7dx9aNzTa
He shoved the boy back and Katsuki stumbled, a look of utter shock on his face at Izuku growing a spine. The murmurs around increased in volume,
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLTCU65t58
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJIv9a7sVF
Izuku: "I thought… I thought you'd be happy for me, but you're still the same!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6x0DQR0vh
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKt3aga78P
Rage began to cool as Izuku’s notorious crybaby nature was threatening to rear its head. Why couldn’t Bakugo be true friend to him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9v6z2A6QM
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpgoJx19uo
Izuku: "You think I liked getting bullied by you!? By all of you?! Having my dreams stomped on and crushed? That I was just pretending and having a good laugh out of sight behind your back?!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN3vcBLukN
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGesoRmzP4I
When the absurdity of Bakugo’s claims were said outloud, anger returned with a vengeance. It was even starting to literally waft off the boy. The rest of the students gasped as his hair started to wave and his signature green glow was starting to show.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eep8qhbh9

Bakugo: "DEKU!"

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ6k8ex6C7
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO0WpUnMDD
Izuku froze as he heard Katsuki's voice, even though his next words weren't spoken at all. 'You were a pebble! Just a pebble in my path! A nobody!'
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejVYqqrusE
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xQ8AanJy5

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUmhysyNsq

Izuku thought to himself, ignoring his Quirk showing another facet to it for the moment.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHzFq2fMlA
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0J0h31kpt
Izuku: 'Is that really all you saw me as?'
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVffwOxn09
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xB4r4joSr
His sadness grew as he came to terms with the fact that his former friend really had changed completely for the worse. Nothing remained about the cheerful, if somewhat mean, boy Izuku had befriended so long ago.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33r39BCI32
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WnRCa3NvW
And apparently all the praise heaped on him since early childhood had made him develop a full-blown superiority complex on top of all his other issues.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66cJtOZqTi
Izuku: 'You need a wakeup call, Kacchan… and I'm not afraid of you anymore! I'll save you, even if it's you I need to save you from!'
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuzfYhqUWO
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0rS53kKWU
Izuku: "Well mine did! And I'm going to use it to get into U.A. same as you! I'm going to become the greatest hero in the world!"

Bakugo: "Deku… STOP LOOKING DOWN ON ME!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpN1sY1aXF
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrs6Za5SEw

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFDhoAsX1F

Izuku: "KACCHAN!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BQCs4B2LM
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZvmyVFJ6a
Katsuki charged forward, his arm igniting in mini explosions building up in a crescendo. Izuku's green glow engulfed him, his eyes turning into pools of shimmering emerald and his hair whipping about.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIpSx7vqdH
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7cGfyPBXY
Katsuki was picked up and thrown back into the lockers. He hit the metal and crushed it, a shockwave crumpling other lockers beside his impact zone.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxnqUIx9Xx
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOgZ8UpjmI
Even the tiles on the floor were cracked and broken. But that’s not all, Katsuki also lost control of his Quirk for a moment in his astonishment, and a massive explosion turned yet more lockers and even the wall behind him into rubble.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfqaHLjTo6
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTl2VOeJot
"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6xOJJXb01
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvFjrpcrSf
Their homeroom teacher was hurrying forward and pushing the other astonished kids aside. He skid to a halt and gaped at Izuku, who dropped his Quirk and reverted to stammering old Izuku, sweating up a storm. The teacher gaped at him in shock.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZEGt248vW
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCdLJfJu9T
"Was that a Quirk?! At your age?!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EcJUwv4j6
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsfDHVx3o5
Izuku: "Err…Maybe?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBlT4M4UIM
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMnl5XsO6R
He squeaked, the fading adrenaline leaving him cold and timid once more.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA2Thgsi5r
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzDrlAS2T0
"That's amazing!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6YqRpK1s0
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvyKqMm2oH
The teacher gasped, before shaking himself and resuming his forced air of authority as he saw the damage.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKb6kipdr7
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VElcMkLxE
"Bakugo! Midoriya! Principal's office! NOW!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSN3roIxkB
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeLQkOElqp
Izuku hurried after the man as Katsuki stood, somewhat scuffed up but not really harmed. He was… a very durable young man. Even that hadn't really hurt him, though any other teen there would have had a couple broken bones at least.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ5tnvTZVi
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB0ajkddnd
His face was expressionless as he followed them, though if anyone else had been asked they would have claimed his face looked thunderous.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5zj0SMTx2
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb64bHZg18
Deku hadn't just stood up to him… Hadn't finally grown a pair and fought back…
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NfIsjodjO
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7YJauvBeF
He'd drawn first blood.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfzcTRm8iV

The days following that, when they both returned from their week-long suspension, had been… confusing.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvQIMUGwv5
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZC41pcDTZ
Strange. Irritating.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBM2kGG8fS
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6brpURxJc
He expected Tatsumaki and Fubuki’s rage at Kacchan. The near bloodbath between Tatsu and Kacchan’s mother. It took All Might and Inko to calm them down. Despite the tension, it was expected and normal.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndoCbbuVak
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2opuv8wqta
But what wasn’t was Kacchan’s reaction.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm7zVKOwmy
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXa1RtUb7a
Kacchan hadn't said a word, quite the opposite, the boy had been ignoring him entirely except for nasty glares.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCaED5rEzL
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChzL5HYPdI
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIXKhYdWSN
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqckjh8IRT
The other kids though…they hadn't exactly been sweet and innocent either. The ones who had bullied him their entire lives…had immediately started trying to cozy up to him. Acting like they were friends. Praising his quirk…never him. Acting like…all the bullying had never happened.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbORA8wKM4
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBWtPiNr3u
Those who had just stood aside and let him get bullied were no better.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyEDWpa7VC
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wo8iShgME
Really, hadn't he always wanted friends of his own? Hadn't he dreamed of a day where he would have a Quirk and would finally be accepted?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiChewWo9r
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5eWgCwAMf
And yet when he finally had it…he first got claustrophobic and then he got angry. How fake could they all possibly be? Not ONE of them had ever even apologized for all the snide remarks and insults.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6FAeeU3sH
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Y3qavNND
If he were Kacchan he would most definitely have told them all to fuck right off and told them exactly where they could shove their 'friendship.'
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2EfkXI1tr
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtL1S7cJsz
But he wasn't Kacchan. He was Izuku.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T5Ibvw8SG
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YloBtLNnI
And he'd not accepted a single invite to hang out. Hadn't joined any groups…He kept them at arm's length at best. Shrugged off any friendly gestures. Spoke politely at some points, stuttered like normal at others…
Nothing had really changed, and this time it was because of him. And of course, his rejection had offended the little bastards, and it was right back to sneers and loneliness.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ442LBJn3kh

Toshinori thought to himself as they drove off.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWnwR28Ztr
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzYO0wqNDE
All Might: "Can I say you were right? No I can't. No one can say that except for you, Izuku. What I can say is what those kids did to you wasn't right. And personally, I'm glad you didn't buy into their 'friendship.' People can be incredibly fake and the fact that not one of them apologized to you exemplifies that."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwxSHuYVk9
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEtDQEMjND
He put a hand on Izuku's head and ruffled his hair.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYmazlp1vo
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPQBiOqFt5
All Might: "UA will be a new beginning for you, shonen. I'm sure you'll make plenty of friends once you make it in. Ones who like you for you and aren't just trying to be seen next to the 'next big Quirk.' You don't need any of those kids by your side."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OJljDWn3z

Deep within the secret mountain base, alarms start to blare with deafening volume, indicating that someone or something had tripped the multiple perimeter defenses. Three sets of feet thundered down the hallway as they made their way to the control center, a woman already manning the console and flicking on several switches.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnSg8n8lfh
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY4N1c7Sr9
"What have we got?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldiKPtyL2I
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtNtUrMUBI
The muscular man asked, hunching over the petite woman and eyeing the screens warily.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC47eibDwn
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRvB4kdFyx
"Unknown bogey, approaching fast. Its tripped the laser defenses and is nearly here. This is no wild animal we're dealing with."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw9VvyozKM
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUqRYP1deF
"A vehicle?"

"Radar's not picking anything up. Thermal imaging returns one unit, closing in. It's plowing straight through the mini force-field barriers! Whatever it is, it's tough and not stopping."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJgKeKCBMl
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuQRxjtCYG
Another woman behind them cursed loudly, taking her position on another console as her fingers began flying over the keyboard in a series of rapid taps.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRmSxOMPZl
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jAHaamc5r
"A villain? Why here?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNb4IV9TEW

A third woman questioned, cycling through the different cameras.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCKpQC2D1o
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoq9s4NIyK
"This is a rescue base, there's nothing valuable they'd want to steal."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYE5NxhLS1
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YSj2RQVZR
"Medical supplies, rescue equipment? A lotta important stuff in here. Who knows, maybe they just have a grudge against us."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGRpUnfOl8
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdDF3mZKZ1
The man grumbled, already suiting up in his magnificent costume and preparing for battle.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2iEeq1Ll7
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAVJrvo1gK
"Whatever it is, we can't let them take the equipment! We need it to help—"

"Bogey's approaching the main gate at high speed! Prepare for impact!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdhKe5OXGN
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaZwHJCmFU
The team of four hunkered down, each anticipating a massive impact against the near-impenetrable steel doors from the unknown… except absolutely nothing happened.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXupiCe4YkB
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF7GvdX9jT
"Eh?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAnOqS2a6x
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa0vse7aIC
A small voice crackled over the intercom, soft and nearly inaudible.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKEXZOyZzw
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0d5gH2iJx
Valkyrie: "Cat-lady? It's me, open the door please."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0oszAhicZ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZIrK4gDuh
Four set of eyes peeked up at the main screen, and a muscular arm reached up onto the console to cycle through the cameras until they found the one that was situated at the main gate. The screen showed a young woman with pale white skin, standing before the doors and waiting for a reply.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kcZtQio4v
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSECbFLQs49
"Is that who I think it is?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tYYTi1mDR
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF7MLUWofv
Valkyrie started knocking on the titanic mechanical doors, each knock shaking the entire building. Dust started to drift off the ceiling within the base as vibrations resonated through the building.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf87uPc5zw
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mJgxsNNbO
Boom, boom, boom.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVgwU2oPDv

Valkyrie: "Cat-lady~. Open the doo~r pleas~e."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYsE3cZmQB
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLwiv0YQAL
The vigilante chanted in a sing-song voice, her expression still neutral.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwTdavMTCd
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCYaaveL24
Every eye in the room turned to one particular woman, who grimaced sheepishly.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n6Cyw3oKj
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdLfM9L4fu
Well, you're the only one she responds to verbally, right? You talk to her.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEpuDUMAcQ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsS8U75E5W
Her teammates chided and pushed her into the main seat of the control room, giving her control over the communication systems.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6CokvoQjl
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHM3YiR2dN
"Testing- testing, is this thing on?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl93I9uJW1
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHgrJg1pk6
Valkyrie did seem to hear her for she looked around until she found a camera near the door, then gave it a nod.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Q2bHN4P7
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA9vXTlxte
Pixiebob: "Right. First of all, it's Pixiebob, not Cat-lady! You're making me sound like one of those old women who keep a dozen cats. Second, what are you doing here, Valkyrie?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XkUAcmTL1
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6feZ9wf6wY
Valkyrie: "I need help."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKl3LLA26C
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboeg7Xc9Xz
Her reply stunned the rest of the team: never had the strange vigilante ever asked for help, let alone approach them in the first place. This must have been something serious, the end of the world even. 2012 in real life bad.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMdmaA01a4
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6KEes0t6U
Pixiebob: "Is it a disaster? Our emergency surveillance program hasn't picked up anything yet. Anyways, we're ready to roll in-"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWwakmTbQz
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3Raiy8ix9
Valkyrie: "No villain. No disaster."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW623TvbpE
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysY778dL0K
Pixiebob: "Huh? Then why'd you come here?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsXSUkAC1A
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDkzE2Vvc7
Valkyrie: "I need help. You said to come to you if I needed help."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJAxQVtz8o
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRulqaA0sf
Pixiebob's three teammates shot her a look, which told her all that was needed to be said. The blonde woman groaned painfully, her head in her hands.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6RHj8pcUb
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ0PWBtL8A
Pixiebob: "Okay, I did say that last time we met, but you can't just barge in here! This is a super-secret rescue base, you know."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd26SeVaL3k
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg3Zd65KjG
Valkyrie looked at the camera, then back to the supposedly impenetrable doors.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOs43coyEY
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTWmJn0orP
Valkyrie: "Open the door please."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqKzXPHozm
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3ogEjVbFO
Well, apparently she didn't care if it was the National Bank of Japan or a super-secret rescue base. The girl stubbornly knocked on the door again, a little harder this time. Small shock-waves reverberated through the structure with each knock, shaking the building's very foundations.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox7YlLgIPn
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFDAtsD56V
Pixiebob: "What if I can't open these doors for you? I mean, how did you find this place anyways? This is a classified location-"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5lO8sQaR5
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieyPBchxTr
Valkyrie: "Open. Or I'll open them for you."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsde1oHxCX
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMqMeeZdwz
That got their alarms bells ringing. Those high security doors cost a fortune and from what they'd seen of Valkyrie, she could pretty much tear through them effortlessly if she really wanted to.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wUeRtvDnZ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBKW4ATutk
Sighing, Pixiebob looked to her team for confirmation before reaching over to flick a switch.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzb4TINjTf
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vXRLv1ix6
Pixiebob: "Fine. But only because I owe you, got it?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Q5ifF2nP
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF6oOGw1Oa
The heavy, multi-ton doors started to slide open and Valkyrie strode in casually like she owned the place. Little did they know she could recognize certain emotional signatures of people she remembered, which was how she found them.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEjN1Z63oM
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGOkm168Iq
"Well, I suppose we should meet our guest. I'll go prepare some tea."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtCtAhCoKu
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefFHGafdu7
The muscular man announced curtly, starting to make his way to the kitchen. An awkward silence fell over the three women, two of them already waiting for an explanation.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyLArwXccZ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WU1CK77Pw
"Y'know, when you said you can speak to the Valkyrie I thought you were joking. I mean, I've only heard rumors of her speech as an urban myth. So you guys are friends, huh? She's your pal, your chum?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubinCY0aA8
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXNC5jblNg
The brunette teased.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zJ5KhuGuS

Pixiebob: "It's not like that, Mandalay."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqJNVsG4Sq
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNWZ4G8Ho9
She replied as the trio marched over to the main entrance to meet the vigilante.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bXeLyoii5
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ7JKllvCY
Pixiebob: "We met during that big earthquake rescue a few months back and she uh, took a liking to me? I mean, I don't even know why. She helped me out a lot during the rescue and we worked well together. I told her to come to me if she needed any help, didn't expect her to bring that detail up now. Haven't seen her since. To be fair, I do owe her for the help."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cMnY5oY24
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiIV1Ln2ud
Mandalay: "Hmmm. Gimme a little more detail. I need to know what we're dealing with just in case."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsedgWAldY
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7USQsR6QN
Pixiebob: "She came across one of my earth beast puppets during the rescue effort. It scared a young boy nearby, and she started to tear it apart. She probably thought my earth beast was some sort of villainous minion and was trying to protect the kid. Took me a while to convince her I was here to help, but after that she helped me locate the remaining trapped civilians."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStWDAAc0J3
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB7p9br1MC
Mandalay: "Hmmm. Any thoughts on why she's here, Ragdoll?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVzjNq5Ryy
Ragdoll: "No clue. My Search Quirk doesn't work on her, remember?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mHhGcbtFO
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv4QZV2rcW
Mandalay groaned, rubbing her head.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBYrePZRjs
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2TtDAz89R
Mandalay: "Perfect. An indestructible vigilante in our home that's immune to Quirks. Let's just hope she's peaceful."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG0evqV09g
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmu2A2ZcOl
Pixiebob: "Don't worry, she only attacks villains. Or people and things she thinks are "evil"."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA2hBwkxxV
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnkmAPefEr
The three women finally made it to the living room/main hall, where the vigilante was waiting. Their leader took a deep breath and stepped forward, looking to her teammates and sharing a nod.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08CK8TYKiA
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes1MR54Ong
Mandalay: “Okay, let's do this."

"Springing suddenly from out of nowhere..."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvq47FmIQ1

A deep voice rumbled from within the nearby kitchen.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzQKYgWbLD

"Wild, Wild Pussycats!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kVTX95x0V
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuu8CJIARs
All four members of the team announced simultaneously, the three women taking positions in fabulous poses in their cat-themed costumes while their fourth member was absent.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43tFgiNFqN
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiclAyzZ1l5
Valkyrie stared at them blankly, blinking a few times before answering.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5haF81VR1B
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFER0tIunq
Valkyrie: "Hello."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1trWdO60Li

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk22tjJKW7
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1qSbWwvvi
Ragdoll grinned, even as the girl continued staring at her without a word.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOt5dJL1sM
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQiE6YF3CV
Ragdoll: "Tough crowd... she really does only respond verbally to certain people."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPZvOv3zDZ

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT6r2evgoH
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT5WMapfL9
The vigilante paused, sniffing the air momentarily like she smelled something.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFV2wCUN8C
Valkyrie: "Personal advice."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuyuW9RD1G
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD219fkG8s
Mandalay groaned, while Ragdoll started to giggle uncontrollably.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X4aYnUr9h
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYVLrxmGnQ
Pixiebob: "You came all the way here into the mountains, activated every alarm on your way here, infiltrated our secret base, just so you could get some personal advice?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibpj2MniZW
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18ubXbZpbf
Valkyrie nodded, then without warning started wandering towards the kitchen. A vague question of what she was doing crossed Pixiebob's mind but died on her lips when she realized Tiger, their fourth member, was still in the kitchen making tea.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YN2kTMjgX
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq2x0h96P1
Pixiebob: "I know you look like that naturally, but can you at least put on some clothes or something? There's a man in the kitchen."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRpNFf1X7U
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMooZJfLxmT
The blonde remarked exasperatedly. Actually Tiger was a woman turned into a man via Quirk, but that was irrelevant now. Plus, it would help to train the clueless girl for future interactions. Pixiebob doubted that Valkyrie herself knew how many guys she was making hot and bothered with that alluring form of hers.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvFM7SzAb8
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaEYnk9LiS
The girl stopped and tilted her head in apparent curiosity, looking at Pixiebob with that same blank expression she always wore. She looked down at her own featureless body, then at Pixiebob. Or more specifically, Pixiebob's costume.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdd19wyOLC
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFFnSkBl6P
The older woman instantly got what she was thinking and covered herself with her hands, a scandalized look crossing her features.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KPGdFBPKI
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhnsMEaFdz
Pixiebob: "I didn't mean mine! You can't have these, make some of your own!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFf8sS2KE9
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0QKJmUaAY
Valkyrie tilted her head again, this time to express her confusion.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Sk54CaNW
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBvm3O0wYg
Pixiebob: "Don't give me that look, I know you can shapeshift. I saw you change to a smaller size to rescue someone trapped in the debris. I also saw you blend into the crowd when we left by making some clothes of your own. Why don't you do that now?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbatxxH40j
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YwZKlUSz8
A moment passed and Valkyrie was suddenly clothed in a perfect copy of Pixiebob's costume, complete with cat ears, paws, and tail. The strange thing was, it looked better on her than it did on Pixiebob herself.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyEp8CTd7L
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHIqt7RnJB
The sky-blue costume complimented her snow-white skin nicely. Mandalay and Ragdoll exchanged glances, then nodded in approval.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjujANuXkF
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD5zjbdS5D
Pixiebob: "Wha- Hey, You can't wear that! Only official members of our team can wear that uniform, it's copyrighted! Change to something else."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovLTTOCPeu
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPNu6pOW1s
Pixiebob protested, slightly jealous of the other girl's youthful figure.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY9y2MaWRB
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnyQIW4cQY
Valkyrie: "Okay, Cat-lady."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zIkgdyLFb
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyCQDiGMJi
The moment those words left her mouth Valkyrie shrank right before their very eyes, now taking the form of a child in an oversized hoodie that stretched down to nearly touch her knees.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCrER9S9B2
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrNBHl9wL2
Her hair transformed to jet black, long locks shortening in the span of a few seconds. Her skin was no longer snow-white but instead a healthy, normal color. Light green pupils gazed at them passively, a surprisingly normal color considering that they used to be milky-white with a green glow.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9IYmqkhqi
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5KeGco6jK
The women stared in silent fascination, until Ragdoll started squealing in excitement at the completed transformation.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXXlF1LyKc
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dqqiBH5no
Ragdoll: "Ohmigod, she's so cuuuuuute!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXxeoEOsy8
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAoe5ZpP46
She ran up to the now younger girl and started rubbing her head gently, cooing all the while.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOBjsFf8Ty
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL12U8eeEE
Ragdoll: "I didn't know she could do that!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLFrNxvcga
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1H8Jq79Sy
Mandalay: "Me either. Careful Ragdoll, she just looks younger. For all we know you two could be the same age."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99UhvIwzA0
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC7BT7NYVx
Ragdoll: "But look! Look at her cute little face! Tiny!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ2nKsmjPQ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlHfjz3RAc
Pixiebob: "I didn't mean-gah, nevermind. Why choose that ridiculous form?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJLmacoI1H
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpQzqjix6Y
Valkyrie: "Why do you go on rescue missions dressed as a cat? Just as that form is comfortable for you, this form is comfortable for me."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrB1sTYvAA
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBdWzrhhAc
The now miniature Valkyrie continued to wander past them and towards the kitchen, just as Tiger rounded the corner with a huge tea tray in his arms. He didn't see her due to their massive height difference, almost colliding with the girl until the last second.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNxXdg8RnS
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwA4PXo8ik
In his rush to avoid her, he dropped the tray. But he deftly caught it before it hit the ground in an impressive demonstration of his flexibility.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnFA4KerW9
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEVeayjSll
Tiger: "What the- Who-"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsv457lyyi
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkomlfOwsRt
The heavyset man didn't get his answers as the tiny girl strolled past him, stopping momentarily to sniff at his tea before finally reaching the kitchen. There, she floated up onto the marble counter-top and reached for a large porcelain jar, opening it effortlessly and retrieving the hidden treasure within.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn8i3oUfno
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbioO13Zf0
Without a word Valkyrie stuck her fingers into the jar and pulled out a small sugarcube, popping it into her mouth and chewing slowly. The Pussycats watched her from the kitchen entrance, bewildered.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykdSoxXHFA
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WKkmWm8Dd
Tiger: "Is that-”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDtylsX5OL
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL3ZbhOlP8
Mandalay: "Yup."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsJikK9egv
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiTzrH20bZ
Tiger: "Why is she so...small?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8S8ozjMi7
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6eIp6V28X
Mandalay: "Because Pixiebob told her to put on some clothes."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyvawsxRgX
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBuCVNNubM
Tiger: "What does that have to do with anything?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyqmtnayTx
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzIQBc5vA7
Ragdoll: "More importantly, she's eating all my sugarcubes! She can’t do that!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C26ijaeZ2
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0bX8kWRMa
She exclaims while shaking Mandalay back and forth.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzlYIgq113
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu9KSn1sjQ
Mandalay: "Yeah, pretty rude. She's almost like an actual kid, if you think about it. Throwing a tantrum on our doorstep, eating our food...I wouldn't be surprised if she starts raiding our fridge next."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhYmW9POwI
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOjyAFhtOp
Ragdoll: "No, I mean she'll rot all her teeth if she eats that much sugar at one go!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM88bHDxep
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrbWLimWro
After a few minutes of persuasion, the team managed to get everyone into the surprisingly spacious living room where they now sat in a rough circle on cushy-looking sofas. Valkyrie opted to sit on Pixiebob's lap with the jar still clutched tightly in her hands, occasionally reaching inside for another sugarcube.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvaA5hazqK
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJK0rkWRfS
Pixiebob: "Okay, we're all here. So, what’s the problem?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzHzJhXI0k
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWjswPqZbt
Instead of speaking, Valkyrie noticed Ragdoll poking at the her childish cheeks. Ragdoll laughed musically when Pixiebob shooed her away gently.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRH0nPuIqe
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNh1fgYnZC
Ragdoll: "Y'know Pixiebob, you kind of look like a mother when she's in your lap like that. Its adorable!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5HH7ibHnj
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQThAlgECI
Pixiebob flushed, her cheeks tinged red in embarrassment.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvBavU4ab7
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLaLzhp7tz
Pixiebob: "T-that's not-"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKN5gwt6Mh
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqNKPhuwbV
Before she could answer, the blonde found a sugarcube prodding gently at her mouth. Valkyrie held it in an angle, apparently trying to feed her.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xHFIIqzG7
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztfCsstemJ
Pixiebob turned an even brighter shade of red, trying to remind herself that the child before her was much older than she looked (which unknown to them, was actually untrue).
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy9ydpkrez
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkZfwUjPwI
Both Mandalay and Ragdoll smiled brightly at that, the latter even pulling out a camera from seemingly nowhere and taking a quick snapshot.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU3UXtTwfN
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhbbwj2pQV
Tiger just grinned slightly, content at the scene. Pixiebob eventually relented and popped the cube into her mouth, her face scrunching up as the sharp sweetness stung her taste buds.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ioczBhy3n
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqhWzSFdJr
Pixiebob: "Geh. I don't know how you can eat these."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VE31Farx5
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jsLNwTLlV
She grimaced before reaching for a warm cup of tea to wash the taste down.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36dnuEIM3O
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDMyNJMP2q
Pixiebob: "Okay, I ate it. Can you tell us what ‘personal advice’ you need?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArEGabtzZ8
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhwPZjHeQe
The girl thought for a moment on how to answer the question. She didn't feel like revealing the existence of her onii-chan…she had to call him something different.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtWi6KmDzu
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAzrnAG5aY
Valkyrie: "I'm scared that my Master doesn't want me anymore."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRReDHPLi3
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJgy7K9DdO
Pixiebob spat out her tea in a spray of disbelief, coughing and sputtering while the other three Pussycats looked on with various stunned expressions.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoZUXkLjyP
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbHaDCDQcQ
Pixiebob: "What?! Master? W-w-what do you mean by that?!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYFK4DuB49
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVkbRrNPpH
She couldn't believe it. Such a sweet, innocent, young girl was into such depraved play-wait a minute. This isn't her real form!
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2urocV542
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNg0DuIjKy
Valkyrie: "Master is master. I serve Master."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnaqZ38XPk
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW1k7t6iK1
Technically she wasn't lying. Izuku was her creator and she was his construct. Master and servant. She just preferred to think of him as a brother, as family.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf681igPRyY
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPYfAYyRai
Valkyrie: "S-serve? You mean you do what he tells you?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlHQSWfItX
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy50wwpFYT
Valkyrie nodded, thinking of her first and only order.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6fBdkaZLy
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwpfZjKI8z
Be a Hero.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XXKud03d3
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbULbc8vQu
One that she continued following to this day. All three women blushed fiercely, their imaginations already running wild with all sorts of unhealthy thoughts.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAeZEREFJJ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w0kOv8YWn
Master and Servant play?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBKqN1IM2t
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2g4XHxO2g
Oh boy.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5VHdJW1YC
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUQKswEENr
Tiger instead opted to down his tea, listening with renewed interest.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEou01geuS
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXfV1Svp63
Pixiebob: "Um, ooooooookay. So, uh… why do you think he doesn't want you anymore?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qRtFI2hXU
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyofTEEz2K3
It was hard for Pixiebob to understand why someone wouldn't want a shapeshifting, unstoppable metahuman at their every beck and call, especially one so cute by default. Maybe it was her lack of facial expressions. The girl clearly had emotions, but most likely had trouble expressing them.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T7dQUZ0Op
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB9tRAhn64
Valkyrie scratched her head, thinking of how to describe Izuku's new quirk and his inheritance of One For All without revealing too much information.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c5uQfpHme
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiQMqByAb2
Valkyrie: "He's gonna get something better soon. Better than me. He…already has something better…the next thing will just…make me more obsolete."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0cJmfEGlo
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcF5AEjZwn
Ragdoll held a paw over her mouth in a scandalized expression while Mandalay turned even redder, fidgeting in her seat. Tiger coughed, then began to pour himself another cup of tea. Despite his hands shaking the tea cup.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYjv8C6t2F
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXF5W51n2E
Pixiebob: "Listen Valkyrie, I…don't know what kind of relationship you and your, uh, Master are in but I'm sure he wouldn't abandon you just because he found…someone better. At least, I hope he wouldn't. I-I mean, can you tell me what kind of person your Master is?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPLW56VlNX
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJbx5lPpgS
Valkyrie did not hesitate to reply as Izuku's good qualities were listed in rapid fire.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerekHGtD4k
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESjKhCotS3
Valkyrie: "Brave. Selfless. Kind. Generous. Caring."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlBxGIVl3C
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijroOiEMSH
Pixiebob: "You really look up to him, huh? This person, do you love him?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ2d39G4nR
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWZbeAFiaZ
Valkyrie: "Yes."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5BiRDWzGd
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTzpO2WBEg
In a pure, sisterly way…of course. But Pixiebob didn't need to know that.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYvq53bxog
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP1huGoasw
Pixiebob: "Does he love you?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviZ9coN17p
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWICBI4oPm
At that, the girl didn't answer. Until the sludge incident, Izuku had never even met her face to face and likely barely even knew of her existence. How was she supposed to answer? Pixiebob sighed, stroking the girl's hair gently.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy46IxgO5e0
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdK1sz6wAS
Pixiebob: "Look, kid. Can I call you kid? I mean you're literally a kid now…nevermind."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa55eXmHgQ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9BngNKpn6
The girl didn't shy away from the physical contact, instead leaning into the older woman's bosom further. She snuggled into the softness, feeling the warmth of Pixiebob's body through her clothes.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IYjZ3Thij
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PNVT4gfNj
Pixiebob: "At times like these, what you need to do is talk to him. I mean, from what you're implying you guys are close, yet far? It's such a weird relationship but hey, I'm not one to judge. You gotta go talk to him to find out how he feels about you, or else you'd just end up with an unrequited love that'll never bloom. Fight for what you want, what you believe in. If you don't even try you'll just be giving up without a fight."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1e8TgXmcU
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXJlD8w3ob
Pixiebob took a moment to catch her breath, then hugged the smaller girl tightly.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxct3HdmyMK
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp9srVBPkB
Pixiebob: "I should know."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRnqYEIFBW
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfNB88qR1y
Valkyrie looked up, her face still cold and stony as if it was carved out of marble. Her eyes however told a different story, for Pixiebob could see a sort of childish fear within them.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplZU1Rkm6X
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1IGO6EynJ
Valkyrie: "But what if he doesn't want me anymore?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomGJlb52OI
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKHSB7bvq0
The blonde thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and gave her opinion.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6nGgjIk1E
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhvZvI4wry
Pixiebob: "Then you move on. It's not the end of the world. But whoever this guy is, he sounds like a good person from your description so I don't think he'll just abandon you. Which begs the question of why he would find other girls in the first place, the two-timing scumbag son of a-"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAgCL9CJnc
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g2U0Whjml
The vigilante tilted her head, suspecting that Pixiebob had somehow misunderstood her somewhere along the line. But so far her advice was pretty decent so she'd keep quiet and listen. Meanwhile, Pixiebob was busy getting upset on whoever would cheat on such an innocent girl.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQkOy8r43r
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Na2WhHZ9
Pixiebob: "-knuckleheaded imbecile! Either way, that's all the advice I can give you. I mean, I was never really good at this relationship thing so I can't guarantee anything."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRM4liSz4g
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FXdZ1qmVr
Valkyrie: "But I…want him all to myself."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jNQs4WPXg
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEy7OB71lI
Pixiebob raised an eyebrow, then coughed awkwardly. Maybe the girl wasn't as innocent as she looked.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkXe8JNx2m
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2DsbIbrlo
Pixiebob: "Well kid, that's the thing isn't it? You want him. That implies you want to own him, have him all to yourself. But that isn't right. You can't just own people like they're objects...it may make you happy, but you gotta consider how they would feel. It's a delicate balance of feelings. Relationships sure are complicated, eh?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP681IcQZFk
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoUrnpUdxF
She thought for a moment of what Izuku would think if she kept babying him all his life, stealing away his opportunity to grow.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuvCpG4LPt
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOhulJfLzx
But those thoughts burned away when she felt something horrible.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHs0eK7Pna
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODglwxpYmf
Pain…
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoE4d8lgeM

Terrible, ungodly pain that made her shiver with fear.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiFzcyskaR

Pixiebob: “V-Valkyrie?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SbdzxCAZk

Her words fall on deaf ears. Valkyrie drops the sugar cube jar and sprints towards the exit while transforming back to her normal form.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNSptTdmCO

The calls of concern fade into static as Valkyrie’s body flickers in and out of existence.

Nezu: “We met during his sister’s last sport festival. I happy to see that his quirk has finally manifested.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0zhHJ5pkR

The other person suddenly coughed, drawing everyone’s attention to her.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtnRYjosVU
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyMKi4p0Dr
All Might: “Oh yes, forgive me. And this is Recovery Girl!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvZCn4gdPj
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwcQvlEunR
Toshinori pointed to short old woman with her gray hair in a bun. She had a cane shaped like a syringe in her hand. Her name was Chiyo Shuzenji and she was practically what kept UA running. They could never do the things they did without her healing quirk.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcNHm7bpJt
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL5eQ8mUph
Recovery Girl: "How are you doing today, Midoriya-chan? Here, some haribo candies."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgN83SzsIm
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fI8ytxveG
Izuku: "Th-thank you, Recovery Girl."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVlhgIiuMX
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbHoFAyIwc
Nezu: "Now that we have all been introduced, has All Might told you why you're here today, Midoriya?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfqFm3L6VD
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbsxTAWSgN
Izuku: "Just a little. We're here to test out my Quirk, right?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHtMQRqZBJ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnqKnxlniv
Nezu: "That's right. Hopefully by the end of the day you'll even have a name for it."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWB8RmBcbB
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqJl5gADcS
Izuku smiled at the memory of everyone trying to come up with a name for it.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMLklddubz
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0dksN5na6
Most of them were too similar to Tatsu’s or Fubuki’s. Emerald Esper or Flaming Esper. Even Esperanza was suggested.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSptlZUv21t
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXs8MgVsmB
In the end, we decided to wait till we have a full understanding of it.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZXahCSO6C
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RbDGxvc7V
Nezu: “Now, let’s go over everything one more time. Please, describe everything you've been able to do with your Quirk as of now, as well as your parent's Quirks."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMo9XSdMe3
Izuku began to explain his quirk once again, at least what he knows about it. He also avoided any mention of his father’s abilities. It was the same thing he told All Might. But he suddenly remembered that day at school again.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEOnUXD16w
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmEDYcg26m
Izuku: "Oh, I actually just remembered something! I think I was also able to read someone's mind!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzeaYenXeG
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNn3OT3VCg
Toshinori coughed out some blood while everyone else raised an eyebrow.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxpc5S4mMF
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeYc0L4r6d
All Might: "Pfff, you never said a thing about that to me, shonen!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMvOdbSjj6
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVciyAPqBT
Izuku: "I… kinda forgot… It was the day that thing with Kacchan happened."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7axd67Qojt
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbhl1byPO9
All Might: "Ahh…I suppose you did have plenty of other things on your mind that day."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z0G1GAn9F
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbrahtzL5k
Nezu: "Hmmm…very fascinating. That's quite a Quirk you've got. And all in just two months of use.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiJWfPftHC
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1k0dMKLw3
Recovery Girl: “It’s hard to believe they diagnosed you Quirkless. Did the gene tests really come back negative? The MRI scans did as well?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGEVLraE5y
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWfJjXMgO3
Izuku looked at her for a few seconds, before tilting his head to the side.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3W5FZbbxJ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ302X2NGGkQ
Izuku: "Huh?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUjMm4eSJP
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcNf457YHq
Off to the side, Toshinori was looking equally confused.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCqRZdxh0E
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kbkVUnyMK
Recovery Girl: "Your gene tests. I'd like to see them at some point."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fO842lriN
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEIqVTQesf
Izuku:"…What gene tests? They just showed us the x-ray of my toe."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7gwMGZ83U
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCVzwjNi2R
Recovery Girl: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! The x-ray? That was what they used to crush a young child's dreams? I'll have their practices! I'll have their medical licenses!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ffo4MdDBz
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk9kMEvsmC
The kindly old lady was quite literally stewing in complete and utter rage. Izuku was almost hiding behind Toshinori.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mTLTRmrOV
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjHVk2mXur
Izuku: ‘And I thought Tatsu and Kacchan were bad…”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGcKPJzSsN
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdiuaT8jT7
Slowly, she cooled herself down.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmktNJvGDi
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeYiTLGlHR
Recovery Girl: "Izuku-chan, that exam is merely supposed to be the first thing we look for. It IS generally accepted as a tell of Quirklessness, but it is NOT the end of the road. About three percent of the population with the extra joint still have a Quirk. They're just very late bloomers because their Quirks are normally harder to control. Six, seven, and eight is pushing it. Conversely, about one percent of the population without the joint never develop a Quirk. That is an ancient examination! Nowadays we test directly for the Quirk Factor!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp5oRvk33s
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EUW0xasfs
Izuku slowly lost feeling in his legs and slid to the floor. All this time…all this time, he'd been mistreated, ridiculed, and all but spat on by his peers…on laziness? On medical malpractice? He clenched a fist, feeling frustration well up inside of him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhUMRZAI7L
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBdUMLcwk4
All Might: "I'm so sorry, shonen."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9aWwAix8s
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q9VxK9U20
Toshinori puts a hand on the boy's shoulder.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKsZSH4tvj
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvfk2di99L
All Might: "I never knew about this either. Back in my day the x-ray was all we had."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ov4YGGjaJ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTiPg2VG1w
Recover Girl: "Who was your doctor? Where does he work?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ837h1VcBc6
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BpYFMdPDN
Izuku: “He's dead…He and his grandson went missing years ago."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBoYbqSmbj
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfzRYoz0Ae
That brought the mood down to somber levels, before the principal intervened.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUHa2Qdu0g
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KmlApBX81
Nezu: "I'm sure you're frustrated Midoriya, but we truly don't have much time here today. We have plenty to do to prepare for the next semester here as well as get the summer events in order. I feel for you as well, but we need to move a little quicker."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJw1psElfa
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFlZivtusA
He clapped his hands as Izuku gave him a determined nod. He was sure that this wouldn't be forgotten any time soon, but for now the boy would be able to ignore it.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ttQ1XZlZ0
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVWRMnGlkW
Nezu: "Now, first things first…we must figure out how to use your second ability. You say the only time you were able to use it was when you were injured, correct?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8moKdrF7m
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZXdFoDmax
He got a sharp nod from the boy, and released a sigh in response,
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5ZbQq4x5b
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EkH1QxuZt
Nezu: "Then as distasteful as it is, injured you must be. Unless you can get a feel for the ability, you'll never be able to call it up again. After all, much of learning your Quirk is feeling it out."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IC705kXrB
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KrcBL1pjM
Recovery Girl still had a heavy scowl on her face, which only deepened at the principal's words.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtfYvulP8y
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed1pBd33Tr
Recover Girl: "Unfortunate, but accurate. I will be here to aid you if you can't get the ability to trigger again."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFnyfo5vHg
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaK3cnO00p
All Might: “I…don’t think that’s a good idea. His sister, Fubuki, forbid it. I wouldn’t want to make her or Tatsumaki rightfully angry.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmHM61aTjW
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml7r0hqES4
Nezu: “Neither would I, but it would be better if he learn how that side of his quirk works under controlled conditions. Better now than in a crisis.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu9y0TvHc9
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhwC69f3V4
All Might: “I agree but…”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQJmafpugI
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC3OJnA45M
Nezu: “How about we leave it up to you Midoriya. Would you like to give it a try?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5r2KtGk1K
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97KuvvFlKT
Izuku thought for a moment. Nezu was correct in his assessment but he also didn’t want to disappoint or worry his sisters. But in the end, he leaned towards the more logical choice.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30yb6uRf5k
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIOgMovBJA
Izuku swallowed a fair bit of apprehension and nodded.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xKRiHtbkK
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh55TiI1rhF
Seeing him nod, Recovery Girl took out a scalpel from her doctor's coat.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFdbtCI7pl
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD4uGqEUMh
Recovery Girl: "Don’t worry dear, just a finger cut. I’m sure your sisters won’t mind."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBAfARVZsu
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6nsKSS8vm
Izuku held out a shaky hand, and the old woman grumbled for a moment about oaths before making a small incision. Izuku winced but kept from crying out as a little blood started leaking through. Yet as the seconds went by, it was clear it wasn't activating.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ7YCZ1cNo
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik0c6AwHQ2
Izuku: "I…don't think that worked."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkHPR2oLJN
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9OYI0vCeS
Nezu: "Quirks aren't normally one-time things. If that didn't work, then perhaps there is a threshold of pain or injury itself needed to activate unconsciously."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tBZgqT526
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsih389Wg23
Recovery Girl: "We are not going to put a young child through pain like that!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGIYhO7EHf
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXHNQ5kcpD
All Might nodded in agreement with Recovery Girl. Forget his sisters, he didn’t want the boy hurt either.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8OT5ybXab
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMyR6bb5hA
Izuku stared at his finger. The small cut was already clotting. Despite a slight sense of fear, he didn’t want to stop. He clenched his fist and looked up toward All Might.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdnQEdOwuC
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1oTLlr1hS
Izuku: "All Might."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUi7x2ncxa
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHPIqPm9lF
He turned to stare at his mentor in determination as he rolled up his sleeve and held out his arm.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykT2j3Iqfo
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReNJWnoGTH
Izuku: "Hit me."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Infef9YpL
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mYpmfk00Z
All Might: "Midoriya-shonen…"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxTuItxie8
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycfAmxXquU
Toshinori's protest died on his lips as he stared at Izuku's determined gaze.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYgo7EJ6QK
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SD7Nx7bsV
Recovery Girl: "We can figure this out another way!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I4OJLVZ5Q
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrg2thXMzw
Izuku: "We tried small. We're not going to get anywhere without some risk, right?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwgU44LeOb
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuDjSclf4X
All Might: "You…you're far too brave Midoriya-shonen. Maybe even for your own good."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaFeY2qr9i
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLUUszfELA
He bulked up, turning into his hero form. He held a finger over his student's arm and pulled it back with his other hand. He allowed the finger to slip, and Izuku had to bite back a scream as even that tiny action ruptured tiny blood vessels in his arm and put a hairline fracture in his Ulna.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWHVfo91fh
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVjWxIU9Nr
A bruise formed immediately as Izuku slowly went to his knees, cradling his inured arm. Chiyo bit her lip and forced herself to stay still, fighting her very nature which wanted only to help the child.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuBwuaLySw
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ccvuptT7Q
And then Izuku's arm was enveloped in green flame. They all recoiled, mentally preparing to be hit by the heat, only to be surprised when nothing happened. Izuku was watching the flame with shiny eyes, a peaceful smile on his face.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL9FPUQ7SJ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxektTLm7x
Izuku: "It… it's cool."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgEDbBHlbB
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi33CdkagV
All Might slowly put a hand over it.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKdx5NRXzq
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitLROIobFi
All Might: "It is. I don't feel any heat at all."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmoXoEqM5Z
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibAnc8HHTJ
Nezu: "Fascinating! How is your arm, Midoriya-san?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPZMfGZVMA
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLcABcAqN5
Izuku: "Healed! It only took a second or two for the pain to go away, but I wanted to get a feel for it."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDALEU5lzMH
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMVJqggDtV
Nezu: "Excellent. Shut it off and try to bring it back."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO78p4UaSof
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaPwIkxaPS
Nezu told him and they stepped away from the boy. Even if the fire hadn't felt hot, they weren’t sure if that was actually the case.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaGap54jTl
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriUupJKEwz
Izuku walked to the center of Gym Gamma and closed his eyes. His powers…they felt different now that he was aware of them. His telekinetic energy felt calm, powerful, and steady.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSzON9iSkN
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z2J8aMCob
Otherworldly…
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuyefy00Yq
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvAb5A1fn4
His fire was…different. It was energetic and alive. It made him feel excited and happy. Like the sun was shining on him. He embraced that feeling and his right arm was once again engulfed in bright green flames. He grinned as he stared into its depths.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn7pXkczn6
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK9GhRopLU
Izuku: "I did it!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9215hDYCcW

All Might: "Excellent work, shonen!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduh7zn8R4e

Izuku: "Wait! I want to try something!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM8uRhvUsH
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYKQ48JoJv
He dispersed the flame and this time tried to reach for both powers at once. This time the fire that arose was decidedly not cool and tingly.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDkFGKYDsk
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r0LeREs7F
No, this was a primal, burning fire looking to consume all in its path. He squeaked in fear as the glowing emerald flames enveloped him in a firestorm. They quickly grew out of control and started to spread. It was only a second later that Izuku started to scream.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAGnuJOoEa
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYB7tDmMRq
A soul curdling scream that sent shivers down everyone who bared witness to how his skin began to boil.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJwi0mAo3z
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkT2s8NhHO
Nezu: "Fire Emergency!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4eX89eilG
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRjQHnROVj
Nezu roared, all traces of his jovial nature gone at the sound of a child and future student howling in agony. The fire suppression systems activated, dumping a deluge of water from the ceiling. They all had to shield themselves from the heat, and almost started to panic as the water literally evaporated before it could do anything.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLto6YIHVG0
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJqmMrytH2
All Might had enough.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4CGXdHyUJ

All Might: "Austin Smash!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YNjwdIarX
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c7530aoEo
He bellowed and thrust his palm forward. The extreme wind did what the water could not. The fire dispersed, leaving a wobbly, naked and severely burned Izuku in the middle of the gym.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzuTUqgOnn
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KbNOCOPvq
Suddenly, the green flames returned. But this time it was of the healing variety. It was already healing the worst of it but would it be enough…
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGNE9Ibz25
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOOxFqotpq
It was only his healing ability, which did not in fact turn off his sense of pain and made things worse by regenerating his nerves only for them to get seared again, that kept him from death. But he still so close.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYuNkyfdNF
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdPEzRau5C
Before he collapses onto the hard floor, All Might gently caught the boy. He was…barely recognizable due to the burns.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z9ucBSAxj
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGXWLtS4QU
The sight caused everyone to stand still in shock and horror. It was only broken when the ground began to shake and fear overtook them.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYbTfBQVju
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3k9OGM2G6
All Might: “…We messed up.”
