Uraraka: “You two look terrible.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIjE5SRzVI
Today is the day.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmnXZOmKXf
Internships.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkn05Xx4mB
But Izuku and Kiri are so over it.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU9MCJF0Nd
Izuku: “Couldn’t sleep.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4jTsHaGAD
Kiri: “Nh.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw2tyPWCWM
Their reasons, however, are very different. Izuku because of Momo and Kiri because of the lack of her snuggle buddy.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ypAiQ90O2
Despite that, they made sure to pay attention to Aizawa’s words.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDITIwJIYYJ
Aizawa: “You’ve all got your costumes, right? Obviously, wearing them outside of internship duties is prohibited. Make sure not to lose them.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg34bZebF6
Mina: “Gooot iiiiiiit!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hy5RRVZby
Aizawa: “Don’t stretch out that ‘Got it’, Ashido. And make sure to mind your manners during the internships. Got it? Good, let’s go.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFy2bhkE24
Everyone follows Aizawa to their respective trains, some slower than others. Despite that, Izuku didn’t miss the blank look on Ida’s face. Rubbing the fatigue out of his eyes, Izuku approached Ida, with Uraraka and Kiri close behind.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC2iTqFEPN
Izuku: “Ida.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6QzWDnHmW
The boy in question doesn’t turn around, but he does stop.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfgLzpy0IN
Izuku: “… If you need someone to talk to, you can always talk to us. We’re friends, after all.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eK4KXx2Kf
Uraraka nods rapidly while Kiri stifles a yawn.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfvciUEwqq
It took a moment, but Ida turned around and gave the best smile he could at the time.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAgawJjjZR
Ida: “Sure.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE3UpVUPpx
Quickly after, Ida turned around and left for his internship.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqpfnfZa4Q
Kiri: “Worried.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc2I1697tc
Uraraka: “Me too! But what can we do?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7iibrlQVx
Izuku: “I don’t know. We can’t be in two places at once.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l3kPcDkX0
Uraraka: “You think… Ida will be okay?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwQTmohns5
Izuku: “I’m sure. He wouldn’t do anything dangerous. He’s too smart for that. We can only hope the hero he’s interning with can help.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEV2IF2Tdl
Kiri: “Who is he interning with?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUtgpFDo3S
Both Uraraka and Izuku notice that they never asked. They’ll come to regret that choice in due time.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcdaJIJr31
For now, though, they have to leave, or they’ll miss their transport. So the trio separates and tries to refocus on the tasks ahead.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOTO6YRnI2
Because worrying doesn’t profit anything.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCVjYu2eZm
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yYziNohIR
Fubuki: “What are you doing here?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q0iIAgr7H
The middle child was waiting in front of her agency alongside her closest aides; Eyelashes, Lily, and Mountain Ape. Right now, they stand ready to greet the interns, the most important being Izuku.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5hAiwLxKn
But guess who came first?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Aha9oTn7
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I can’t visit?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSSzXPMi6P
Fubuki: “No. You were never interested in the Blizzard Group. Why now? It’s because of Izuku, isn’t it?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s65CwYtUt
Tatsumaki: “And if it does?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgywp2mXlwo
Fubuki: “This is my internship program. Maybe if you cared about those, Izu would have picked your agency instead.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUQnxLkpaI
The Blizzard group took a collective step back as the two sisters glared at each other.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3fASK80TQ
Tatsumaki: “Hmph. I don’t see why you’re upset about this. Learning from both of us will only help him.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZLsPa10ds
Fubuki: ‘It’s because I wanted some one-on-one time with him again. Besides…’
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzJRoUBff2
Tatsumaki didn’t need to master what little Fubuki had managed to learn. She’s finally starting to make progress.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBuhPfzRfe
Fubuki: ‘But fine, if she wants to play that way…’
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3oNMabyy4
Fubuki: “Fine, you can stay if you want.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OxxqLrKP6
Tatsumaki: “R-Really?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh98pHXyD38
Fubuki: “But I’m in charge. This is my group, my building, my rules, and training program. Do you agree?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AH8MpOWIF
Tatsumaki: “… Within reason.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRBddCqL56
Fubuki: “Good, because here they come.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZfiURjYPZ
Tatsumaki: “They?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHTKK6J5ra
The two sisters turn to see three figures making their way to them. One was Izuku, but the other two-
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2cBF5tWnn
Alice: “Boss Fubuki!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Hq7bl1Jh
Karou: “I-Is that Tornado!?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUgnNwZp7g
The two fledgling heroes dashed to their respective heroes, with Izuku close behind.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEs5iOcrn4
Fubuki: “Hello again, Alice. I hope my brother, has been good company.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg4zK4iSN0
Alice: “A bit quiet, but Akashi made up for it.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIKcZmGxn6
Tatsumaki: “Right, that girl… ”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p2qZ33uNF
Karou: “Tornado, I’m your biggest fan!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgmu2Sv7tx
Tatsumaki: “I figured as much.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDR2pv6cTP
Izuku: “Hey, Tatsu, Fubuki.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod10DwstiO
The sisters switched their focus to their brother who was smiling at the interactions.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxamdcpJIBB
Fubuki: “Welcome to the Blizzard Group, Izu. As for why Tatsu is here, she decided to let herself in.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedVASN3Etw
Karou: “Lucky!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA0YBqKlGH
Fubuki: “Yes, because she can help me train you specifically, Akashi.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghqcF2FPhZ
Karou: “Really?!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0adVzsqPEB
Tatsumaki: “Wait, what?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZIW2L2bir
Fubuki: “My rules, remember?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD98ICWefwH
Tatsumaki: “… Well played. Fine.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxe3a6l75s
Tatsumaki: “Sure, I’ll help you, Akashi.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR65SWfokV
Karou: “Yes! This is a much better deal; I can’t believe it!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqWSGTCIL1
Fubuki suppressed the eye twitch from that unintentional dig at her.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkbdvkkjOM
Izuku: “What about me and Emory?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WxuY0p7C4
Fubuki: “I have some ideas. First, follow me inside.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqn4PqscOa
Izuku and Alice follow Fubuki alongside her group. Meanwhile, Tatsumaki sighs and focuses on Kaoru.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIpoxyuSKJ
Tatsumaki: “Okay, since you’re here, I’ll show you how a pro hero patrols. It’s a bit different, and more annoying, for us since we can fly. Ready?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6cLME6f7a
Kaoru: “Yes!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCwunLcrx5
Tatsumaki flies further into the sky, and Kaoru hurries after her. Cutting back to Fubuki’s group, they’re walking through the well-lit halls of her agency. It’s a pretty extravagant place, enough to make both students admire the decor.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoSu8NJAa4
Alice: “This place is truly incredible. No wonder your agency won that reward.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMkTeJdPhX
Izuku: “What reward?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsrqVm4DoF
Alice: “Best Agency Interior Design.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo157n7xR01
Izuku: “Oh, wow. Makes sense. But it does make me wonder how Fubuki affords all of this.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmVVMDpoGk
Eyelashes and Lily glance at each other while sweat drips down their heads.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg1DvWGIZ0
Fubuki: “Alice!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQS62SNytX
Alice: “Y-Yes?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmvDi88e9l
Fubuki: “We’ll start with you today.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzps9wBQceo
Alice: “N-No, you don’t have to do that. You can focus on your brother first; I don’t mind.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmaGR1qnVg
Fubuki: “This will help him as well. Izuku, before we start training your quirk, I want you to do what you do best.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5uwPOkJFS
Izuku: “Um, what was that again?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIBYDrpxgi
Fubuki: “Analyze quirks.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgRk6s7Cvp
She opens the door, and within is a large room with several types of plants. It was like an indoor garden with glass windows where possible so the sun could grace the room.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJzJtwynWQ
Alice: “Whoa… I’ve never seen so many plants.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgYTOh04y6
Lily: “Wasn’t easy to get them.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiDfVRFB7k
Mountain Ape: “Or refit this room for them.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfJThXDTNg
Fubuki: “But it’s worth it. If you work under me, I’ll do all I can to nurture your gifts.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUDFA9HmeH
Alice: “I-I don’t know what to say.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPP9Hir9As
Fubuki: “You don’t have to say anything. Just let my brother work. Look, he’s already doing it.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDJ9t7WQd3
The two girls look to Izuku, who instantly understood the assignment.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTCE1mxNOZ
Analyze Alice’s quirk, which obviously has something to do with plants, and improve her usage. If he can do that for her, it will make things easier when he has to improve his own quirk.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuNhp1k3RB
So, like many times, he’s mumbling and spilling out all the different ideas he has. A sight that caused sweat to drop from everyone present.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx365W9PPAo
Fubuki: “Izu.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxhNMlD43D
Izuku: “H-Huh? S-Sorry.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAytAeMT3F1
Fubuki: “It’s alright. But maybe you should wait until Alice explains her quirk in detail first.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy7caW7SIw
Izuku: “R-Right.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3A4mo8WG9
Fubuki: “Okay, have fun. I’m looking forward to your report, Izu, but try to make it less than 10 pages. They shouldn’t be too long when submitting to a pro or the police. Don’t forget to properly edit as well.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ltvXSpYcD
Izuku: “Right! I won’t let you down!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLU4InRwFu
She nods and leaves the room, with her three aides following soon after. When the group got far enough away, Lily was the first to ask the burning question.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ompqLN3iA
Lily: “Boss Fubuki?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvXMted8V3
Fubuki: “Yes?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRIOhdnZDC
Lily: “Does your brother-”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdjjhx59IZ
Fubuki: “No, and he’ll never know.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNr1o7aoOI
Lily: “I see. Then maybe… we should stop.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZojIHy4EZY
Eyelashes: “Lily!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsC94IiGkJ
Lily: “Just seems… unfair… and wrong… what we do.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NT4k3OiYU
Mountain Ape: “But it’s the reason why we kept our position in the hero rankings.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNtD2GrfKc
Fubuki: “And that’s why we’ll continue to do it.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGTQ6hEmkl
Fubuki: ‘I won’t disappoint Tatsu or Izu by losing my placement. No, I’ll break this curse and break into the top 10.’
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWJsJj5Zmy
Fubuki: “Enough of that, time to patrol.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr4Pbqh0Rc
Eyelashes: “A-Again?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hKRfnBtus
Fubuki: “Of course. No time to rest. Gather the rest of the group, the ones not already out.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmLtI5c9vi
Eyelashes: “Y-Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNFmCgC7fZ
The trio sigh as they follow their leader out of the building and into another day of work.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMap3eKdOdi
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzFVwajuuf
Last night was wonderful. Momo never spoke on the phone with anyone for so long, especially not a boy. It took all she had to prevent herself from giggling during the call. It felt so… bad. A feeling she didn’t think she’d like.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrnOmkO6a1
Maybe she went overboard; she did notice how tired Midoriya looked the next morning. Didn’t stop her from having a spring in her step. Something Mina and Kyoka noticed.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51dus2PCDj
To her surprise, they both supported her choice of potential boyfriend. Mina could have toned down the teasing, but it was all in good fun.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlfXvEdSss
Everything was looking up.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWDVcHDxK3
But if that was the case, why was she standing awkwardly next to Tae?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVNumTEmtR
Momo: ‘I can’t believe we picked the same internship.’
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvWHpOsOKc
Now this was one aspect of the situation she couldn’t tell anyone. That means she has no one to talk to concerning her strange rivalry with Tae.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p2b8IOgaj
And even if she could, Tokoyami wasn’t the best person to talk to.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh7mMkKkkJ
Tokoyami: “Let’s not waste time.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG75RqqeKt7
Kiri: “Nh.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0JESIgkVq
Momo: “R-Right.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Fe3xEMZa
Deciding to take the lead, Momo led the two introverts into the building and later the elevator. Edgeshot should be at the top, the number six hero.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVhOb4B84A
She’s still a bit surprised that he’s interested in her. Tokoyami is one thing; they both deal with the shadows. But what did she do to catch his attention?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe8HuF0iHJ
Momo: ‘Doesn’t matter. I can do this. I’ll learn all I can and become someone who can proudly call themselves a hero.’
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSArjqKp4d
Resolve strengthened, she watches as the doors open, ready to guide her to a future…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JkQv4YRHh
… of a kunai being thrown at her face.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhu19JQEx4
Momo: “AH!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz5NwCsBJd
She ducked down right in time for the kunai to embed itself into the elevator wall.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX6Qf5BDik
Tokoyami: “Dark Shadow!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQU88Gx2Da
Kiri and Tokoyami exit the elevator, only to be met with a flash grenade.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOzoyIDetG
Protected by their backs, Momo wasn’t as affected. But she couldn’t do much but watch as Kiri was quickly pinned to the ground with a complex grapple and Tokoyami was captured by a net wrist gun.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyDklmJyLW
All due to some cloaked figure who was making sure Kiri couldn’t muster the strength to escape his hold.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevjHViKSHL
But that didn’t mean it was over; Momo wasn’t going to go out like this. She quickly created a bo staff and charged the man. If she could free Kiri, then together they could get out of this.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S6FRVXOWW
However, similar to before, she was outmatched. Even more so this time, since this cloaked figure was even better than Shiho and could fight her off with one hand.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6v7krl7Vq
The assault was intense enough to once again short-circuit her mind.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xBkauC0pT
Momo: ‘No!’
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGILTEGSTZx
Or it would have, if she wasn’t rebuilt into a better version of herself. Calling on One For All, she increased her strength and speed enough to overtake the tempo of the martial clash for just a moment.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0wSOc0Nc0
That was all she needed to extend her bo staff and strike the figure in the stomach, flinging him off Kiri. Free, the girl rose and charged the man with a fist ready to knock him out.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OUfzOCXUg
But to everyone’s shock, the man transformed into a blade of red string and bypassed Kiri, going straight for Momo’s skull.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKajNSVJjJX
This was it, the time when she really did freeze. Too many options, too many variables, not enough time.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz1yfAM5lQ
Luckily, Dark Shadow appeared and took the hit instead. Blocked, the man transformed back and jumped back and over Kiri, who tried to attack him from behind.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmj6UArQol
The three students regrouped and looked at the cloaked man with the intent to survive this encounter. That was until Tokoyami finally recognized the quirk used.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4vaXpEdEy
Tokoyami: “You’re Edgeshot, aren’t you?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetq1sOJ1mG
Momo: “W-What?!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYia2pnX2UC
Kiri: “Ah.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9xcWHTz0c
Edgeshot: “Well done.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLLgdyPAY7
The man removed his cloak to reveal his true identity.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNJzJoOmTC
Edgeshot: “I was right to choose you three. Come, let’s have some tea before we officially begin.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMNfuUFOj7
With that, he walked away like nothing happened. Kiri and Tokoyami took it in stride, but Momo…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyKJ4ZL6uN
Momo: “Hold on! W-What was that!?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI47o4d12Tt
Tokoyami: “A test.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcut4TAj9F
Kiri: “A good one. Simple and effective.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJYQ07ja6N
Momo: “Am I the only one bothered by this!?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fN7lRp68b
Edgeshot: “Please, no screaming in the dojo. All will be explained; please, follow me.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLssMqidalQ
The introverts follow without question while Momo sighed, trying to collect herself from the near-death experience. After a moment, she shakily followed the rest of the group.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8En3RoMN8
Edgeshot led them to another room with a classic Japaneses-style sitting area. Sitting cushions were already out for them. Edgeshot took a seat while the students sat on the three cushions across from him.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLppnrEo1vG
As Edgeshot poured them all tea, he began to speak.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBIOOI6Efc
Edgeshot: “As you may have guessed, I attacked to test you all. I’m pleased to see you all did well enough. But there is room for improvement. First, Tokoyami.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdr2riLCDz
He passed the boy a teacup before continuing.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSidd50jOpF
Edgeshot: “Am I correct in assuming that you want to intern with me to better blend in with the shadows?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DfIVRjLOp
Tokoyami: “Yes, and perhaps better control Dark Shadow within the darkness.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr8AcyUYJ1
Edgeshot: “Mmmm, I can help you with this, yes. But as you can see, you are far too weak to light and overreliant on your quirk. We will focus on those points first. Out of you three, I will take you out on patrol the most because of this.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcYaiVqYB7
Tokoyami: “… I understand.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lQ0w4ZHTX
Edgeshot: “Next, Tae.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bfmtpdgfy
He gives her tea, but she doesn’t drink it, only stares.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9RvHkCqw7
Kiri: “Sugar?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXxAJX5BX5
Edgeshot: “Of course.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2VU1kuceu
He got some sugar cubes and placed it in Kiri’s tea, much to her silent delight.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V0KKdkYbc
Edgeshot: “I played close attention to your matches. It would seem your quirk is more than simple physical enhancement.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJruDT3OLE
Kiri: “Yes, tactile telekinesis.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A2bEo0UqI
Edgeshot: “Indeed, but you used it poorly.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI08NWnKGf
Kiri: “How so?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VWsh2r8Kb
Edgeshot: “You showed a bit of it when facing Midoriya. You stuck to his hand to prevent a ringout. However, you never employed such strategies again. I will teach you how to properly grapple.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWlkK4IXEO
Kiri: “Grappling? Like what you did to me?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOTSoakLFd
Edgeshot: “Indeed, if you knew how to grapple using your quirk, there would be few that could escape from you. Even fewer would be able to pin you down as I did.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBKOwi8vWY
Kiri: “Nh. I like it.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceLDUCyTbd
Edgeshot: “Finally, the one with the most potential here, Yaoyorozu.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbItkBSJ36e
She accepts the tea but is shaking while doing so.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmSXhE2ZzM
Momo: “M-Most potential?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JatvU9gIt
Edgeshot: “Exactly.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B3Bj46oNO
Momo: “B-But how? I-I didn’t perform well, not when compared to… ”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAz4T6mEdm
She glances at Kiri, who meets her gaze for that second.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V3cJY13mF
Edgeshot: “What I saw out there was a girl with mountains of amazing potential. But she cracked under pressure. I attacked you specifically to see what you would do in a sudden crisis situation. You did better than I expected and even showed a sudden burst of strength and speed. I’m glad I made the right choice in picking you.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGXqMAyR5m
Momo: “T-Thank you. I-I won’t let you down. But… how will you help me?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z8OB7vUPy
Edgeshot stood up and began pacing.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvOEl0Abdo
Edgeshot: “Tell me, do any of you know what a shinobi is?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFvT9bCjel
Kiri: “Ninja.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sr5TxDs5H
Tokoyami: “A master of the shadows.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNqV5SyvgZ
Momo: “… A disciplined warrior.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsrH4gEYWO
Edgeshot: “You are all correct, but Yaoyorozu’s answer is the closest to what a shinobi truly is.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiibbCP3iZe
The hero pulled out a small kunai and tossed it above his head. Momo let out a small gasp but trusted the pro hero. That trust paid off as the kunai missed his body by mere inches.

Edgeshot: “A shinobi is one who is mentally disciplined for panic. No matter the stakes, the pressure, or the foe, a shinobi never panics. For if they panic, they have already been defeated, and everything they protect will be lost. They must keep a level head at all times, even at death’s door. You all will learn this, but you need this lesson most of all, Yaoyorozu.”

Momo: “But, I can’t just learn how to do that in a day, or even a week!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnlaJxM79D
Edgeshot: “Correct. But I’ll help you take the first steps. Do you trust me?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ichhcG2OR
Momo: “I… yes. I do.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih604kS0ET
Edgeshot: “Good, then let us start. Follow me, all of you.”

The students followed the pro hero as he walked over to a large sliding door and opened it to reveal an old-style dojo. Edgeshot walked over to a shelf and pulled off a box. He opened it to reveal two dozen sets of silver shuriken.

Edgeshot: “Out of the three of you, Tae seems to have the strongest mental strength. So watch, this is the level you two must eventually reach. Come, stand up against the wall over there, Tae.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUImPV7Gjf
She obeys and waits for the inevitable. He could tell she knew what he was going to do, so he skipped the explanation. He threw a shuriken, not at Tae but close enough to be dangerous. As proven by the fact it was embedded in the wall.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHNBzLWxZk
Despite that, she didn’t flinch, but she did tense noticeably.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDCwMKR4U0
Kiri: “Fast.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHSpoJv3ok
Edgeshot: “Good job.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFx4fTS2ci
Momo: “You… expect us to not flinch?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi5FO9toPV
Edgeshot: “Correct. I will adjust the speed for each of you so you’re not completely caught off guard. Don’t worry. Next, Tokoyami.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugSPButltk
The boy takes in a breath and replaces Kiri on the chopping block. Like before, Edgeshot threw the shuriken. This time, it was at a different location and speed. But still, Tokoyami flinched. It was a quick one-eye flinch, but a flinch nonetheless.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36YQYNAcwL
Edgeshot: “Fair, we’ll work on it alongside the other lessons. Next, Yaoyorozu.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedD0ElFwmY
She swallowed her worry and self-doubt before getting into position. Edgeshot was going to throw again, but he noticed the subtle shaking.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2gL3EB8DW
Unlike the other two, Momo was unconsciously shaking despite trying her hardest to suppress it.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEsjl9dMY9
Edgeshot: “Yaoyorozu.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qSdox0zrx
Momo: “Y-Yes.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhWXldOhRU
Edgeshot: “It’s human nature to fear and flinch at danger; it’s natural. But trying too hard to suppress it will only make it harder to focus. Calm your mind. Slowly breathe, in and out. Don’t focus on the shuriken or the future, only on me and the present.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzDHDQd2pu
Momo: “I-I’ll try.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4woy8lnS3A
The girl closed her eyes and tried to focus on just the present, the task at hand. Her mind drifts to those she doesn’t want to let down anymore. Her family, classmates, and teachers.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UXOUaBH81
And out of those faces, who stands out the most? Who else but Kyoka and Izuku?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dNyLRcr3j
This is the first step in being a better hero; she can’t fail. So she opens her eyes, relaxes her nerves, and takes in the present.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoGr4elcqD
Edgeshot: “Good.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1E80pxZMj
He releases the shuriken, and to everyone’s shock, Momo didn’t flinch or even tense.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93UzzVeoar
Edgeshot: “Impressive. However-”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ILlgTyVzM
Momo suddenly fell to her knees and started to breathe heavily.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxbNkovULP
Edgeshot: “You focused too much and forgot to breathe. It was good for this exercise, but that rigidity won’t work in a real crisis.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumETYfNQ6U
Momo: “I-I understand.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKJwwHOJ25
Edgeshot: “Don’t beat yourself up. This is a good first step.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8ocrzxiyz
Momo: “O-Okay, thank you.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXIISl56sa
Edgeshot: “Now, let’s see how you three fare after an hour of this.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ghiD04TnT
Momo: “… Oh.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug2XjDPpSx
Kiri: “We’re in danger.”
