Chapter 9
Two weeks seemed to fly by in an instant for the three teenagers. Izuku and Momo had focused on perfecting their new quirks, while Himiko had continuously trained with, against, or beside them. With training taking up most of their time, it felt like only a day had passed before they were getting ready to take the UA entrance exam.
Not long after Izuku had started practicing with Smokescreen, he realized what En meant about how his quirk may have changed during their visit to the vestige realm. Toshinori had provided them with official Hero Commission records for En, and Izuku and Momo had studied them thoroughly, trying to figure out how En had used Smokescreen when he was a pro hero. They found out how much Smokescreen was actually enhanced, and because of their findings, Izuku had dubbed his new quirk 'Smoke'.
After much trial and error, Izuku and Momo quickly found out that Smoke not only produced smoke, but also allowed them to manipulate it in a multitude of ways. Izuku had successfully changed the color of the smoke from purple to multiple different colors, but always returned to green, one of his favorite colors. He also found out he could change the properties of the Smoke, allowing him to manipulate it into different types of gas as long as he knew what the molecular structure of said gas was. He named this Smoke Modification, or Smoke Mod for short.
One of the many ways he thought of using Smoke was compressing it within his hands, allowing him to release it where he wanted and propel him forward. He found this worked very well to increase his movement, once he got the timing down correctly. He could also use it somewhat like a secondary jump, releasing a huge burst of Smoke below him, propelling him upwards or forwards either faster or further. He named these new moves Smoke Thrusters and Smoke Jump.
It wasn't long after that Momo had figured out they could use Smoke like a smoke grenade, compressing a considerable amount of Smoke into an orb, throwing it and releasing the hold of the orb. She also considered changing the density of the smoke, and when Izuku had tried to attack through the smoke it felt like he was fighting in water or tar, limiting his movements while in the smoke. Momo brainstormed about using Smoke to make a staff, but no matter how many times they tried, the Smoke Staff wouldn't hold up longer than a few hits. Izuku thought that with more training, he could create Smoke constructs, allowing him to make weapons and other solid items that he could use. He called these two moves Smoke Grenade and Solid Smoke.
When Izuku had been training with Smoke against Himiko, he found that he could detect her movements within the smoke, allowing him to predict her movements the closer she was to him. He also figured out during their fights that he could move very quickly through the smoke, seemingly almost teleporting without disrupting the smoke around him. Momo had mentioned that he could have been changing into Smoke as he moved, but it didn't feel like he was. After Momo had tried it a few times herself, she agreed. It was good for landing sneak attacks against his opponents, and allowed him to win more than a few fights against Himiko. He named these two new moves Smoke Sensory and Smoke Dash.
Izuku felt he needed something for close range attacks, and his first thought instantly went into coating his arms and legs with Smoke, giving him something akin to a second skin. He found that with Smoke activated as a second skin, his punches were more powerful and he felt less strain from attacks against him. Momo and Himiko had both tried to attack or grab him with his Smoke second skin activated, and quickly found out how slippery his arms actually were, allowing their attacks to slide right off or miss completely. Momo had managed to catch his arm one time during one of their fights, confirming that it wasn't full protection from outside attacks. He had considered how Smoke felt along his body during this, and named this move Smoke Cowl.
One of the last things that Izuku and Momo had tried with Smoke were long range attacks. Compressing Smoke into a tight orb and throwing it like a ball or beanbag allowed the Smoke to impact something or someone and cause minimal damage while also releasing the smoke around the impact point. It was good for distracting enemies at long range until he could get in close and take them down directly. The smaller shots would damage similarly to being hit by a BB, while the larger shots would be similar to being hit by a beanbag. The larger the shots got, the slower they moved, meaning they became ineffective after a certain size. Considering how he shot these smoke pellets forward, he called this move Smoke Shot.
Over the two weeks of practice, both Izuku and Momo had trained these moves with the help of Himiko. It got to the point where both of them could do almost everything flawlessly, with the only difference being the usual color of their smoke. Izuku would continuously use green colored smoke, while Momo preferred to keep hers red colored.
Outside of training with Smoke, Izuku and Momo worked on how Creation was improved. They found out Izuku could create anything that Momo knew the molecular structure of, similar to what they discovered on the first day, but it also worked vice versa. If Izuku knew the molecular structure of something, and Momo didn't, Momo could also create it. One of the coolest features they had discovered about Creation was that it would keep a 'snapshot' of what either one had created before, allowing them to re-create the items faster and without thought of what the molecular structures were.
Izuku also figured out that Creation could now 'copy' whatever he was holding, even if he didn't know the molecular structure. It wouldn't allow him to recreate the item later on, but he could make an exact replica if he was holding or touching the item itself. After a full day of training with Creation, Momo had realized that Creation wasn't using as many lipids as it was before, instead using OFA as a power source. Momo had commented about how she was able to use Creation throughout the day without having to replenish her lipids through calorie intake.
When fighting against Momo with Creation one day, Izuku had accidentally stopped whatever he was creating halfway through, and ended up pulling the creation back into himself. Momo was amazed and mentioned that she hadn't been able to do that before. The next few hours were spent just experimenting on creating items and pulling them back within themselves. They found out early on that if the item was fully created that they wouldn't be able to pull it back within themselves. It still presented the opportunity of creating something like a net gun that stayed attached and fired, before pulling the remaining matter back into themselves.
Outside of training with Smoke and Creation, Izuku and Momo both helped Himiko with her quirk. Her need for blood drastically dropped over the months of training, and while she didn't need it as often, she still enjoyed taking blood from Izuku or Momo every night.
When Izuku had asked Himiko about using her quirk, she mentioned that she didn't know what it did. After some thinking and asking Himiko to attempt a few things that were similar to other blood quirks, they figured out she could transform into a perfect replica of a person minus their memories. Over the two weeks, they had tested different limits of how much blood Himiko would need for the transformations, how long they would last, and how long the blood she drank lingered within her.
The first time Himiko had transformed into Izuku, she had stayed as him until the transformation ran out, saying it felt like she was closer to the person she loved. It was a similar experience when she transformed into Momo. The three of them had fallen into laughter when Toshinori or one of their parents had seen two Izukus or two Momos standing around or fighting among themselves.
The three of them had quickly found out the downside of Himiko transforming into one of them when she had first transformed back into herself. Izuku had to look away in embarrassment when Himiko had come out of the transformation in nothing but her birthday suit. They determined that if Himiko was going to use Transform often to either keep a change of clothes on or around her at all times, or have some clothes made with her DNA so that they weren't destroyed every single time.
At the end of the ten hellish months, the three teenagers were happy with the results of their training. While Izuku had focused more on muscle, Momo had focused on something between more muscle and flexibility, while Himiko had focused strictly on mobility and flexibility. As the three of them went to sleep the night before the entrance exam, they were all confident that they'd do well during the practical.
"We're finally here…" Izuku said in wonder as the trio stood outside the gate of UA. They had arrived early to make sure they had enough time to find where they were supposed to go, considering Momo would be taking the recommendation exam while Izuku and Himiko were taking the general hero exam.
"We can't stand out here all day, Izu." Momo smiled at her boyfriend. "Or else we'll never take the entrance exam."
Izuku shook himself out of it before looking towards Momo and returning her smile. "I know, but it's just so amazing to finally be here." Izuku commented as he pulled Momo along with him into UA.
"It's just a school to me." Himiko shrugged in response. "I don't see the- Whoa!" Instead of watching where she was going, Himiko was looking at the couple and tripped over a loose stone in the path.
"Himiko!" Izuku and Momo yelled at the same time as they took a step forward, but paused when Himiko started floating a few centimeters from the ground.
"I'm sorry!" A brown-haired girl called out standing right beside Himiko. "I didn't mean to use my quirk on you without asking, but it's a bad omen to trip and fall!" The girl rotated Himiko, who was too stunned to speak, so that she was floating the proper way up. "Release!" The girl called out before Himiko felt her gravity being returned to her, landing on her feet.
"Thank you for helping my sister." Momo responded, smiling towards the girl.
"It was no problem!" The brown-haired girl responded with her own smile. "This sure is nerve wracking." The girl giggled before waving to them. "I need to find my testing center, so best of luck to all of us!"
"Good luck! See you on the other side!" Izuku called out as the girl walked away from them. Izuku walked up to a stunned Himiko watching the brown-haired girl leave. "You didn't ask for her name."
"Wha-?" Himiko responded before looking towards Izuku. "Dammit…"
"Maybe we'll see her after the exam finishes?" Izuku questioned, seeing the hope return to Himiko's eyes.
"I hope so!" Himiko said with a genuine smile before turning towards the two teenagers. "Did you see how cute she was? She left me speechless!"
"She was." Izuku admitted honestly, hearing Momo clear her throat beside him, causing him to look towards her. "What? You can't deny that she wasn't."
Momo glared at him for a moment before rolling her eyes and smiling at Izuku. "I'll admit, she was cute." She looked towards Himiko. "I don't think we've seen you speechless since you came home."
"I just…" Himiko blushed and looked towards the entrance of the building in front of them. "I've been thinking more about trying to find someone, especially after seeing how happy you two are." Himiko admitted quietly.
Izuku gave a quick look to Momo, who nodded in response. They split from their hand holding, moving up behind Himiko and each circling an arm around her. "Maybe if we hurry, we'll be able to catch her before the exam starts?"
"Okay!" Himiko said excitedly, circling her arms around Izuku and Momo, guiding them forwards. "Let's goooooooo!" Izuku and Momo laughed as they were dragged along by Himiko.
Izuku stood at the starting line for the practical exam. He was hoping to have seen Momo or Himiko to wish them good luck on the practical, but it would appear that they were all in different testing areas for the written exam. Izuku looked over at the other students he was standing with, noticing that the amount of people around him appeared to be on the lower side compared to what he had read on the internet. He thought nothing of it, considering he had been guided to this testing area by one of Ectoplasm's clones, and told to wait until his name was called to perform the obstacle course in front of him.
Ectoplasm had explained the obstacle course to the examinees in detail, answering any questions in which they had. The course itself seemed pretty straight forward, testing both agility and responsiveness to the obstacles laid out before them. The final test in the obstacle course was to save one of Ectoplasm's clones from whatever danger they were in, and if the clone had melted, the test would be considered an automatic failure. Izuku thought it was kind of harsh for the general exam, but when he considered how UA was the best hero school in all of Japan, it seemed to make sense.
When it was finally Izuku's turn to run the course, the Ectoplasm clone counted down from three and started the timer, allowing Izuku to shoot forward with Smoke Thrusters. He quickly found the first obstacle to be a piece of cake, skipping around a few cars and vaulting over others. Over the course of the first obstacle, Izuku came into contact with a bunch of robots, which were easily taken care of using a Smoke Shot or a Smoke Grenade. For the robots that were close enough to hinder his path, Izuku activated Smoke Cowl and punched them in critical parts of their legs, essentially shutting them down due to critical injury.
Continuing through to the second, Izuku could spot multiple different terrains throughout the obstacle. One appeared to be a river flowing through the area, with what appeared to be unstable footholds along the surface of the water. Another appeared to be some sort of rockpile that would appear at the bottom of a rockslide, full of unstable footholds and other grabholds to increase the difficulty in getting across. Finally, the last appeared to be a dense forest terrain where Izuku knew that he would definitely get injured if he didn't take his time through it. Large trees, fallen logs, and other obstacles throughout the area made him exercise caution through the final terrain obstacle. Smoke Thrusters and Smoke Jump came in quite handy throughout the second obstacle, allowing him to clear it quite quickly.
Reaching the third and final obstacle, Izuku took a second to plan out his course of action. He spotted multiple robots closing in on an Ectoplasm clone that appeared to be trapped under some rubble. Thinking quickly as he approached, and taking aim with multiple Smoke Shots within his hands, he fired them towards critical parts of the robots. Most would pause in their approach, being blinded by the Smoke Grenades that were released around them. The larger ones would continue pushing through the Smoke, seemingly unaffected, causing Izuku to think of another plan.
Using Creation, Izuku summoned a staff out of his hand, grabbing it and rushing towards the bigger robots. Slamming the staff into the joints quickly caused the robots to shut down, simulating critical injuries. As the smoke started to disperse from the smaller robots, Izuku released a massive blast of Smoke around him, leaving the area around the clone itself clear of all smoke. This confused the smaller robots, and allowed Izuku to carefully remove the rubble from the clone, putting it over his shoulder in a fireman's carry and successfully removing him from the area.
As Izuku crossed the finish line, the clone congratulated Izuku, giving him his time from his starting point to when he crossed the finish line with the clone. Even though Izuku was impressed with the time he was given, he knew that it could possibly be beaten by the other students, lowering his chances of getting accepted into UA's Heroic Course. The clone informed him that he would learn his placing when all the other students had run the course, and escorted him towards the next area where other students who had finished the obstacle course waited.
"Momo?" Izuku questioned, noticing Momo sitting in one of the chairs talking with someone beside her. Momo looked over towards Izuku, giving him a smile and waving him over. As Izuku approached, he realized that Momo was talking with a familiar face. "Hello Iida, it's good to see you again."
"Midoriya! I didn't realize you were taking the recommendation exam!" Iida exclaimed with a few chops.
"But…" Izuku looked towards Momo, finding her looking away in embarrassment. "I was supposed to take the general exam." Momo took a quick look at him before looking away again. "Mo…"
"I'm sorry, Izu." Momo admitted, slumping her shoulders and looking back towards him. "When I signed up for the exams, I put your name under the recommendation exam, with Midnight as the hero who recommended you."
"Why?" Izuku questioned, still looking at Momo.
"Because I knew you would pass it." Momo explained before looking down. "Are you mad at me?"
Izuku took a seat beside Momo, putting his arm around her and pulling her into a hug. "I've told you before that I could never be mad at you, Mo." Izuku explained. "But I didn't want to take the recommendation exam because I wanted other students that were more deserving to have a chance."
"You deserve it more than most." Momo said quietly so that only the two of them could hear. "You've wanted to be a hero since we were kids, and look how you saved Himiko." Momo pulled out of the hug, looking Izuku in the eyes. "I wanted to make sure you had every chance possible to get into UA, and if you don't pass the recommendation exam within the top six, you'll still have the opportunity to take the general hero exam."
Izuku nodded, closing his eyes tightly to dispel the Midoriya tears, before allowing a small smile to grace his face. "Thanks, Mo." Izuku said quietly before feeling Momo kiss him. After the quick kiss, they were silent for a few moments until Izuku opened his eyes and found they were alone, Iida having left them. "How did you get Midnight to recommend me?" He questioned.
"It wasn't hard." Momo giggled, leaning into Izuku more as he wrapped an arm around her. "Midnight is actually somehow related to Mother, either second or third cousins, and often visits us during the holidays."
"She does?" Izuku questioned curiously.
"Yeah. Remember Auntie Nem?" Momo questioned in return.
"Auntie Nem, as in Nemuri Kayama." Izuku closed his eyes, releasing a sigh. "How did I not notice before?"
"Because Auntie Nem tries to keep her hero persona away from her personal life." Momo explained. "She claims that people pass her on the street all the time when she's not in costume."
Izuku hummed in thought for a moment, processing the information Momo just told him. "If Midnight recommended me, who recommended you?"
"Best Jeanist." Momo responded. "Father is in partnership with Best Jeanist on his clothing brand. When Best Jeanist was setting up his brand years ago, Father was one of the first investors, bringing in quality fibers for him to use. Eventually one thing led to another, and Best Jeanist made an offer of partnership, and Father accepted." Momo explained. "So when I found out that Auntie Nem couldn't recommend me because she's family, Father asked Best Jeanist, and he happily agreed."
"Examinees, please report to the testing building for your results. I repeat. Examinees, please report to the testing building for your results."
"That's us." Momo said, pulling out of Izuku's hug, standing up and holding out her hand. "Let's go see where we placed."
Walking hand in hand, Izuku and Momo walked towards the testing building where they had written their exams. They both had spotted Tenya making his way towards the testing building looking stiff as ever, as well as Shoto who didn't look any indifferent to being at UA. When they had arrived at the end of the pack, Izuku and Momo noticed some students running out of the building, following the signs that indicated where the general exam would be taking place.
"Izu…" Momo said quietly, looking up towards the screen above all the other students. Izuku followed her look, finding the top of the list and reading down.
"Inasa Yoarashi, declined. Shoto Todoroki, accepted. Setsuna Tokage, accepted. Momo Yaoyorozu, awaiting response. Izuku Midoriya, awaiting response. Juzo Honenuki, accepted. Jurota Shishida, accepted." Izuku read out before the two of them looked at each other with wide eyes and smiles growing. "Come on!" Izuku called out, pulling Momo forward with him.
"Izuku Midoriya." Ectoplasm spoke up as they approached before looking towards Momo beside him. "Momo Yaoyorozu. Would you like to accept the recommendation placement?"
"Yes!" Izuku and Momo responded, nodding their heads quickly.
"Thank you for your response. You'll receive all the information regarding your class placements within the next week. Welcome to UA High." Ectoplasm stated before clicking a button on a remote.
Izuku and Momo both looked up at the screen above them, showing the six students that had accepted their recommendation placements. Juzo, Setsuna, and Jurota were along the top, while Shoto, Momo, and Izuku were along the bottom. There was a small message indicating that any recommendation examinees would still be given the opportunity to take the general exam, and to follow the provided signs.
"I understand that Himiko Yaoyorozu is taking the general hero exam." Ectoplasm said, causing both Izuku and Momo to look down towards him. "Accepted recommendation students are allowed to watch the general hero exam if they so please. Would you like to watch from the monitor room?"
Izuku looked at Momo, getting a nod in response, before turning back to Ectoplasm. "Please, if it's no trouble."
"There is no trouble in allowing you to watch." Ectoplasm responded. "Please, follow me."
Himiko paced back and forth in the starting area of the general exam. She had noticed the brown-haired girl from earlier, and even though the other girl had waved at her, Himiko could not find the courage to go talk with her. Present Mic had announced they were waiting on a few stragglers that had missed the bus, and the exam would start momentarily.
Himiko mentally went over the transformations she had available to her, which weren't much considering who she interacted with most. Both Izuku and Momo had offered her blood the night before, allowing her to bring two vials with her the day of the exam. She had downed them on the bus ride over, feeling their blood become available for use with Transform.
Himiko considered using Izuku for the whole exam, his muscles allowing him to power through almost anything, but she also had to consider that Momo had carried a few weapons on her when she had donated her blood. Himiko found herself thanking Momo again for looking up the regulations on support items for the general hero exam, feeling the knives sheath around her leg as she paced.
"AND BEGIN!" Himiko heard Present Mic yell as the doors to the mock city opened. Slipping by a few examinees who were looking towards where they thought Present Mic was shouting from, she ran into the city at a full sprint. "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THERE'S NO COUNTDOWNS IN REAL LIFE! GO GO GO!"
Himiko blocked out the noises around her, including Present Mic who was still yelling at confused examinees, as she ran through the mock city. She could see robots further into the city, preparing to charge towards the examinees.
Taking out one of her longer knives, she held it in reverse dagger hold. As she passed some of the smaller robots, she would slice where she thought that the joints were in their legs, successfully disabling a few due to critical injury. Himiko smiled as she ran, finally feeling free to let loose. Pulling out another knife she flung it with deadly precision right into the glowing red orbs that appeared to be eyes on one of the larger robots, successfully disabling it, before jumping up and pulling her knife out.
She quickly found herself getting surrounded by robots, and allowing transformation to take effect, Momo appeared where Himiko once stood. Taking the staff off her back Himiko swung it around in practiced movements, hitting the joints of the robots or the red orb-like eyes, quickly disabling them. 'I gotta ask Momo how she fights like this.' Himiko thought to herself, before giving her head a shake and focusing on the robots approaching her.
She could hear the other students finally catching up to her, allowing her to stick the staff into the ground and use Transform to change into Izuku. Picking up the staff, she used Izuku's smaller but stronger body to vault over the remaining robots, hitting a few of them where she suspected the face to be. She smiled back at the carnage she had left before disappearing further into the city.
Himiko noticed out of the corner of her eye, the brown-haired girl was space jumping in a different direction, while tapping robots and removing their gravity. She watched for a moment before shaking herself out of it, deciding to focus on the exam first. As she turned to continue running into the mock city, something in her gut told her that following the brown-haired girl would be a smarter idea. Changing her course, Himiko ran down an alleyway that ran parallel with the street that the other girl had jumped down.
She quickly found the alleyway was infested with robots, causing her to slow her movements a bit as she dealt with them. After demolishing the robots, she continued running down the alleyway. As she ran, she would peek over in the direction she last saw the brown-haired girl and see robots crashing down from the sky, letting her know that she was close.
"TWO MINUTES LEFT!" Present Mic called out from above.
Himiko increased her movements through the alleyway until the rumbling started. She knew something was wrong the instant that the rumbling had lessened, and instead ran towards the street she last saw the brown-haired girl. Getting to the street she found other examinees running in one direction, and when Himiko had looked the other way, she felt her blood run cold.
Quickly approaching the examinees was what Himiko remembered as the Zero Pointer, more an obstacle than something to be destroyed. She quickly looked around the area for the brown-haired girl she followed before, and when Himiko thought she saw the brown-haired girl jumping away with the other examinees, figured that it was time to run.
"Help… Me…" A voice called out, causing Himiko to freeze in her spot, as she recognized who it belonged to. She turned around and tried to locate where the voice had come from before spotting a hand reaching skyward underneath some rubble.
Himiko didn't have time to think about the best course of action, running forward towards the rubble as the Zero Pointer approached them. "I'll get you out, just stay still." Himiko stated in Izuku's voice, before forcing the staff under the rubble. Himiko knew how strong Momo's staff was, she just hoped that transform would be able to sustain the pressure and weight of the rubble long enough to get the girl out. "As soon as I lift the rubble, I need you to pull yourself out, can you do that?"
"I think so…" The girl responded. "But I can't feel my ankle."
"Okay." Himiko responded. "Ready?" Hearing a grunt in affirmative, Himiko forced the staff up and lifted the rubble slightly. "GO!"
Hearing a few more grunts, the girl successfully pulled herself out of the rubble. "I'm free!" She called out, causing Himiko to release the staff as it dissolved into sludge in her hands.
"I'm going to pick you up and carry you." Himiko stated, placing her hands under the brown-haired girl's legs and along her back. Using Izuku's strong muscles, she pushed them to the absolute limit in getting them out of there. She could feel the burning of her muscles and of Izuku's muscles through transformation, but no matter how much it hurt, Himiko continued to push through the pain.
"I'm going to remove my gravity!" The brown-haired girl called out before tapping herself with all five fingers. Himiko instantly felt the girl in her arms get much lighter, allowing her to move much quicker. She heard a crash behind her, and forced Izuku's legs into overdrive. She could feel the eyes of the other examinees watching her as she ran, while also noticing the girl in her arms looking up at her in wonder. "We're almost out of range!" She quickly said as she took a peak over Himiko's shoulder.
"AND THAT'S TIME!" Present Mic called out as a buzzer rang throughout the mock city, disabling all the robots around them.
"Thank the Gods." Himiko said quietly, allowing herself to slow down before dropping to her knees. She placed the brown-haired girl on the ground before allowing transformation to drop. Himiko registered that the girl in front of her said something, but with how hard her heart was pumping and with how her legs felt like they were on fire, she couldn't focus on the words. "I'm glad you're okay…" Himiko responded quietly as she closed her eyes and slumped forward, the world around her going black.
Chapter 10
"Himiko?" Izuku questioned as he opened the door that Recovery Girl had directed him to. She told Izuku and Momo that she was notified that they were on their way, and was already waiting by the only door that was closed. Recovery Girl had given them a quick rundown on what happened and why Himiko passed out before telling them to take all the time they needed.
"Hello?" A strange voice called out as Izuku finished opening the door. "Oh! It's you!" The brown-haired girl greeted them, giving them a small wave from where she sat beside the bed that Himiko was lying in.
Izuku smiled at the girl, followed by Momo who walked into the room behind him. "It's good to see you again." Izuku responded. "How is she?" He questioned as they sat down in chairs on the opposite of the bed.
"She hasn't woken up yet." The other girl said, looking towards the bed. "I've been here since I was cleared. I wanted to thank her." She looked up towards Izuku. "And thank you? It was you that saved me, but she appeared after some sludge dripped off of her?"
"That would be her quirk." Momo said, looking towards Himiko. "She's able to Transform into people under special conditions. She questioned us if she could use our transformations today, and we were more than happy to oblige." Momo finally looked towards the girl, before she realized something. "My apologies, where are my manners? I'm Momo Yaoyorozu, and this is my boyfriend, Izuku Midoriya."
"I'm Ochako Uraraka." Ochako responded. "And you called her your sister, so she must be Himiko Yaoyorozu?" Momo nodded. "She saved me from being crushed today. I owe her my life."
"We held our breath through the whole situation. We thought for sure that robot wasn't going to stop." Izuku admitted quietly, looking towards Himiko still. He reached out and grabbed her hand, running his thumb along the back of her hand.
Momo didn't miss the confused look that Ochako gave to Izuku. "What Izu meant is we witnessed the whole situation from the monitor room." When Ochako gave her a curious look, she giggled with how cute she looked, before recomposing herself. "My apologies. Izu and I are recommendation students, and since we passed the recommendation entrance exam, we were offered the opportunity to watch the general exam."
"Oh." Ochako responded. "I didn't realize there was another exam taking place today." She looked back towards Himiko. "Did Recovery Girl tell you what happened?"
"She overused her quirk, resulting in quirk exhaustion." Izuku confirmed, still not removing his eyes from Himiko. "We suspected something like this would happen if she forced herself to use her quirk longer than absolutely necessary, but we thought she would have enough time." Izuku sighed, sitting back in his chair as he let Himiko's hand go. "I knew I should have given her more."
"You didn't know that would happen, Izu." Momo said quietly, reaching towards his hand and giving it a squeeze. "Don't blame yourself."
"I was just so worried, Mo." Izuku admitted quietly, squeezing Momo's hand back. "I saw the transformation dropping, and she continued to push herself. What if something had happened?"
"But nothing happened." Momo reassured him. "She wasn't injured. A little rest and she'll be back to her normal self." Izuku nodded, closing his eyes and leaning back in the chair. Momo looked towards Ochako, finding her watching them.
"You three seem really close." Ochako commented.
"We've spent the better part of the year training and learning together." Momo admitted. "Before that, it was only Izu and I." Ochako's eyes went wide for a second looking towards Himiko, before she seemed to realize something and nodded.
They were silent for a few moments before a ding ringed out from Ochako's side of the bed. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a flip phone, missing the look that Izuku and Momo shared. "It's my parents." Ochako admitted as she stood up. "They're wondering why I haven't called them." Ochako looked to Izuku and Momo to find them watching her. "They're worried something happened, so I'm going to start heading home." Ochako looked back towards Himiko, giving her a thankful look. "I wish I could have thanked her."
"I can always have Himiko call you when she wakes up?" Momo questioned, holding out her hand and summoning a pen and a piece of paper, offering it to Ochako.
Ochako looked at the pen and paper before looking down towards her phone. She shook her head, pocketing her phone, and accepting the items. She quickly wrote down the number of her phone before hesitating to give it to Momo. "If she wants to call, can it be after eight tonight?"
Momo smiled up at the girl. "Of course, Uraraka." Ochako smiled back before handing the pen and paper back to Momo. "It was nice meeting you, and I hope we see you again in a few weeks." Momo glanced over towards Himiko. "Or maybe sooner."
Ochako glanced at the bed as well. "I hope so as well." She admitted, letting out a quiet sigh. "It was nice meeting you, Yaoyorozu and Midoriya." Ochako slightly bowed, before walking towards the door. With a small pause at the door looking back in, she continued and disappeared.
"You saw that?" Izuku whispered to Momo, getting a nod in response. "I do hope we see her again, if only for Himiko to meet her officially." Momo nodded, leaning her head on Izuku's shoulder.
They sat in silence, either with their eyes closed and thinking about everything that happened, or watching Himiko sleeping peacefully. They didn't know how much time had passed until they received a message to both their phones. Izuku pulled out his phone, seeing a message within the family group chat asking how the exam was and when they were coming home.
Izuku quickly typed out a few messages, letting their parents know they were still at UA waiting for Himiko to wake up. He had to reassure Miyuki and Yuukichi multiple times that Himiko was okay, going as far as sending them a picture of Himiko sleeping in the bed. They questioned if they should come and pick her up, but Izuku reassured them that Himiko just overused her quirk and should be waking up soon.
Izuku was just finishing his last message when they both heard a groan coming from the bed, seeing Himiko grab the covers and pull them over her head. They both giggled at the girl's antics, making her freeze in what she was doing, and open her eyes. Himiko blinked a few times, allowing her eyes to adjust, until they landed on the couple sitting beside her bed. "What happened? Where am I?" Himiko questioned.
"What's the last thing you remember?" Izuku questioned.
"I was taking the entrance exam, and I saw the very cute girl trapped under some rubble…" Himiko quickly sat up in her bed, looking around frantically. "What happened to her? The last thing I remember is saving her before passing out."
"She's safe, thanks to you." Momo confirmed, smiling at her sister. "She was waiting for you to wake up, but her parents asked where she was."
"Dammit…" Himiko said quietly, slumping her shoulders. "I missed seeing her again?"
"Unfortunately." Momo responded before she held out her hand. "But maybe it's not forever?"
Himiko looked at Momo's hand, seeing a piece of paper. She reached forward and grabbed it, looking over it. "Ochako Uraraka…" Himiko said quietly before her eyes went wide as she read further down. "Is this her number?" Himiko questioned with hope in her eyes, looking back towards the couple.
"Yes." Izuku confirmed. "But she has requested you call her after eight tonight." He informed Himiko.
"Why?" Himiko questioned as she tilted her head curiously.
"I believe it's because the smaller cell phone companies offer free calls after eight at night." Izuku admitted sadly. "Based on the phone she was using, it didn't look very up to date."
"Oh." Himiko said sadly, looking at the number on the paper again. "Do you think she'll make it into UA?"
"I hope so." Momo responded quietly. "It was nice talking to her, and I wouldn't mind seeing her again." Himiko looked up to find Momo smiling. "But even if she doesn't, maybe we can go visit her?"
"Really?!" Himiko questioned with hope in her eyes.
"Of course, Himiko." Momo responded, smiling towards her sister.
"Oh my goodness!" Miyuki exclaimed as the three teenagers walked into the Yaoyorozu estate. "Himiko!" Miyuki instantly hugged Himiko tightly before looking over her. "Izuku and Momo told me what happened. Are you feeling okay? Should I call the doctor to check you out?"
"I'm okay, Mom." Himiko responded, pulling Miyuki back into a hug. Miyuki mouthed a few words towards Izuku and Momo, confirming that she was really okay, while they nodded back.
"I was so worried when Izuku told us what happened." Miyuki tightened the hug on Himiko a bit before releasing her and leaving her arm around her shoulder. "Let's go see what the chefs made for dinner. I want to hear everything about the entrance exam!"
"Oh! Mom! You should have seen the cute girl I met at the entrance exam!" Himiko excitedly explained as Miyuki guided her towards the dining hall. "She prevented me from tripping and falling before the written exam by using her quirk on me! It caused me to float and I felt so free!"
"Oh?" Miyuki said excitedly. "You'll have to tell me all about it! Did you get her name?"
"Izuku and Momo did!" Himiko said excitedly. "Her name was Ochako! I saved her from being crushed by a Zero Pointer during the practical exam! The robot was as big as a building!" Miyuki was watching how animated Himiko was with her hands as she explained, something that she most likely picked up from Izuku as he talked about quirks, causing her to smile.
"Mother?" Momo questioned Miyuki and Himiko, causing them to stop and look back towards them. "Izu and I are going to celebrate by going on a date."
"We are?" Izuku questioned, looking towards Momo curiously.
"Are you sure, Dear?" Miyuki questioned in return, ignoring Izuku's question.
"Yes." Momo confirmed, answering them both. "We'll be out until late tonight, but I promise we'll tell you everything tomorrow during breakfast?"
Miyuki smiled. "Breakfast it is. Enjoy yourselves." Miyuki turned back around, guiding Himiko towards the dining hall once more. The couple could hear Miyuki asking questions and Himiko excitedly telling her as they disappeared into the dining room.
"We're going on a date?" Izuku questioned curiously.
"Yes." Momo responded, pulling Izuku back towards the entrance. "I want to celebrate with just the two of us. That way Himiko can enjoy telling Mother and Father everything that happened."
"Oh!" Izuku exclaimed as he realized what Momo meant. "Where did you want to go?"
"I think I have a place in mind." Momo smiled as she looked at Izuku. "It should be fairly quiet tonight."
"Do you mind if I grab something before we go?" Izuku questioned. "I'll be quick!"
"Of course, Izu." Momo smiled back at him. Izuku reached forward and gave Momo's cheek a kiss before turning around and running towards his room.
"It feels like forever since we've last been here." Izuku commented as they walked through the doors of Leblanc. "Still smells just as I remember it." The cafe owner waved towards his newcomers before returning back to his newspaper.
"It's been almost a year." Momo responded, pulling Izuku towards the booth they preferred in the corner. Just like Momo said earlier, Leblanc was quiet, only one customer drinking coffee along the bar itself. "I believe the last time I was here was when you saved Himiko." Momo let out a small sigh. "I was so worried that something happened to you."
Izuku pulled Momo into a quick hug. He was about to apologize again, but remembered Momo told him to stop apologizing for something that had a happy ending. "It was the starting line for the amazing situation we find ourselves in today." Izuku responded quietly, pulling Momo down into the booth beside him.
"Want to sit close today?" Momo questioned, smiling towards her boyfriend.
"I always want to be close to you, Mo." Izuku responded, never taking his arm from around Momo, giving her cheek a quick kiss. Izuku waved the cafe owner over, requesting their usual drinks with matching curry.
"You won't find me complaining." Momo responded, leaning her head against Izuku's shoulder. They sat in silence, just embracing each other until their order showed up. They reluctantly pulled out of the embrace, both keeping their legs touching under the table, as they enjoyed their drinks and curry. When they were finished with their curry, the cafe owner came and collected their plates while dropping off fresh drinks.
"I have something for you, Mo." Izuku said quietly, reaching into his pocket, causing Momo to perk up in excitement. It's been a while since they've both gotten small gifts for the other, having put training before their dates for the past year.
"When did you have time to get me something?" Momo questioned curiously.
"Before I saved Himiko." Izuku admitted quietly, pulling out the small wooden box and placing it on the table. "I was planning on giving it to you the day I saved Himiko, but with everything that happened and everything that followed, it completely slipped my mind until today."
"What is it?" Momo questioned, looking at the same box, before looking at Izuku. He smiled and encouraged her to open it. Momo carefully picked up the small wooden box, and opened the latch on the front. Slowly opening the box, Momo's eyes went wide and her mouth slightly parted as she looked at the contents. "Are these…?"
"From what I've researched, they're called Couple Rings." Izuku explained. "The Americans have something similar by the name of Promise Rings."
"Promise Rings…" Momo said fondly, taking out one of the rings. "They're meant to show that you're taken, or that you belong to someone." Izuku fell silent, allowing Momo to inspect the ring she was holding.
Izuku had the rings custom made to look like they were a never ending stream of colors that constantly mixed together, red and green crashing into each other throughout the perimeter of the ring. Looking inside the ring, Momo found one of her favourite quotes on the inside. 'I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there is life after that, I'll love you then.' On the outside of the ring she was holding, she could see a name that looked almost hidden within the colors. 'Izuku Midoriya' was only visible at certain angles, shining brighter than the rest of the ring.
After inspecting her own ring, she placed it back into the box and pulled out the other, seeing almost the exact same details. On the inside of the ring was the quote from Momo's ring, but on the outside of the ring it showed 'Momo Yaoyorozu' in the same spot as hers. Momo inspected the rings together to find the colors were the same between them, with a similar design to each other, but the streams that flowed seemed to be random and not exact replicas.
"Everything about the rings can be changed." Izuku reassured Momo as he picked up her ring and inspected it. "I wasn't sure which quote to use inside the rings, because we both have so many favorite quotes out of 'The Mortal Instruments' that I couldn't just choose one."
"I love them." Momo said quietly, leaning over and catching Izuku's lips with her own. They held the kiss for a moment before Momo pulled back, leaving them both breathless. "Hand?" Izuku obliged, holding out his left hand, allowing Momo to slide the ring onto his ring finger. She held his hand and inspected the ring closely, seeing that her name was sitting straight up. Anybody looking would see the ring, but only a handful of people would be able to see the name sparkle.
"Your turn." Izuku whispered out. Momo dropped his hand, allowing him to grab her left hand. He brought Momo's hand up to his lips and gave it a light kiss. Izuku smiled up at Momo as she blushed, until he slid the other ring over her finger, making sure that his name was facing up as well. "It looks perfect on you, Mo." Izuku held her hand for a second more before pulling it close to him, causing Momo to lean forward into his kiss. "I love you."
"I love you too." Momo responded, leaning into Izuku again, allowing him to circle his arms around and pull her close. They sat like that for a few moments, both enjoying the embrace, and holding their hands out to view the rings in the darker cafe.
"Do you think we'll be in the same class at UA?" Momo questioned.
"I hope so." Izuku responded. "Do you think Himiko passed?"
"I don't see how she couldn't." Momo admitted. "What kind of hero school would UA be if they denied someone joining after they risked their life to save another examinee?"
Izuku hummed. "But couldn't they consider that she put herself at risk to save someone?" Izuku thought for a moment. "It didn't look like the Zero Pointer was going to stop."
"Nezu wouldn't have allowed someone to get seriously injured during the entrance exam." Momo reassured him. "Not only would it put UA in a bad light, but it would spread like wildfire if it happened, and we've never heard of something like that happening before."
"I suppose you're right." Izuku responded. "It would have broken me if Himiko would have gotten injured after I helped convince her to try and become a hero." Izuku let out a sigh. "I'm not sure why it's stuck on my mind so much. Himiko is fine, she's alive and happy with the outcome of meeting Uraraka."
"It's because you couldn't do anything to help prevent it." Momo reassured him quietly. "I feel the same way. I felt so powerless in the monitor room, wishing I could have done something to help."
They fell silent for a few moments, pondering what they just discussed, until another idea struck Izuku. "Did you see Uraraka's reaction before she left?"
"You noticed it too?" Momo questioned. "She paused at the door before leaving."
Izuku hummed. "It's almost like she didn't want to leave without talking to Himiko. We already know how Himiko feels about her, do you think the feelings are mutual?"
"I really hope so." Momo let out her own sigh, snuggling into Izuku a bit more. "Himiko deserves so much more than what we can give her. I just hope it's not a crush just because Himiko saved her."
"I think that would break Himiko." Izuku admitted quietly, hugging Momo closer to him. "Do you think we should warn Himiko?"
"I don't think that's a good idea." Momo admitted. "What if we warn Himiko and she turns on us, not believing us? Or Uraraka does have feelings for her, and we just ruined both their chances?" Momo questioned before letting out a sigh. "I think we just have to let it play out for the time being, but keep an eye on them. Ask Himiko how it's going, or maybe try and become friends with Uraraka."
Izuku hummed in thought for a moment. "I think we can work with that." He admitted. "And who knows? Maybe we'll get a new friend out of it."
"I'd like that." Momo responded with a small smile.
Izuku and Momo had just gotten back from their date, changed into their pajamas and were lying in Momo's bed, when the door was practically kicked open.
"ZuMo!" Himiko said excitedly, rushing over and jumping on the end of the bed, scrambling to get closer to Izuku and Momo.
"ZuMo?" Izuku questioned, looking at Momo and getting a shrug in response.
"Yeah! ZuMo!" Himiko said, finally sitting close enough to the couple. "That's what I'm calling you two now. Zu is short for Izuku, and Mo is short for Momo!" Himiko responded before pulling out her phone. "That doesn't matter! What matters is that I finally talked to Ochako!"
"Oh?" Momo questioned curiously. "How did that go?"
"Oh my god, she is so cute!" Himiko responded. "Even over the phone, her voice sounded so nice and she was so happy to hear from me! We talked from eight until just before you two got home!"
"That's fantastic, Himiko!" Izuku exclaimed, feeding off her energy a bit. "What did you two end up talking about?"
"Well, after we made sure that the other was okay, we talked about what happened at UA. Ochako said she struggled a bit on the written exam, but was confident that she passed. She didn't remember how many points she got, but she's confident that she got more than thirty before the Zero Pointer attacked." Himiko looked away in thought. "I don't actually remember how many I got either. I was so focused on saving Ochako that I forgot how many points I gained beforehand."
"I'm sure you both passed." Momo reassured her. "There's no way that UA wouldn't allow someone who risked their life to save another examinee."
"That's what Ochako said!" Himiko responded excitedly, looking back towards Izuku and Momo. "Oh! Ochako said she lives in the Mie prefecture! She mentioned she wouldn't be able to come out towards Aichi, but she would totally be down to hang out! Can we go see her? Please, please, please?"
Momo giggled at her sister's antics. "I don't see why we couldn't, but you don't need to ask Izu and I for permission."
Himiko slumped her shoulders a bit, looking away. "I know, but I want you two to come with me. I don't want to go alone."
Izuku shot Momo a quick look and a nod before reaching out and grabbing Himiko's hand, causing her to look back towards them. "We would love to come with you." Izuku reassured her with a small smile, causing her eyes to light up with hope again. "But!" Himiko deflated a bit, waiting until Izuku finished. "You have to remember that Uraraka might not be as comfortable with the closeness as we are." Izuku pointed between the three of them. "If you want to hug her or do anything outside of just talking to her, you have to promise us that you'll ask her."
"I can promise that." Himiko responded with a nod. "No hugging or touching unless I ask Ochako before, and only after she agrees, then I can."
Izuku nodded. "When did you want to go see her?"
"Tomorrow!" Himiko said excitedly, causing Izuku and Momo to giggle again.
"We have school tomorrow, Himiko." Momo reminded her sister. "Which means that Uraraka probably has school as well." Momo watched as Himiko deflated a bit, looking down towards her hands. "But why don't you ask her if we can come visit this weekend? We can plan a whole day of just hanging out as friends, maybe grab a bite to eat."
"Oh! I would love that!" Himiko said excitedly, rolling off the bed and landing on her feet as she looked back towards Izuku and Momo. "I'm going to go text her right away!" Himiko was about to sprint out of the room before Izuku cleared his throat, stopping her.
"Maybe wait until morning to send Uraraka a message?" Izuku suggested before pointing towards the clock. "She might be sleeping already." Himiko looked towards the clock and saw the time, slumping her shoulders a bit, but nodding nonetheless. "Why don't you create a group chat with her, and invite us?"
"Okay!" Himiko said excitedly. "But, I will wait until morning to do so." Himiko held her hand up to her mouth as a yawn raked through her. "I think Recovery Girl's quirk is finally catching up to me." Himiko put her phone back into her pocket before reaching for the door. "Good night, ZuMo."
"Good night, Himi." Izuku and Momo responded, causing Himiko to pause a second, a wide fang-full smile gracing her face. She hugged herself a second before walking out of the room and closing the door.
"I better get to bed too." Izuku said quietly, going to pull himself out of Momo's bed. He felt Momo grab his hand, stopping him from moving away. "Mo?"
"Stay here tonight?" Momo questioned. "It's been a while since we fell asleep with each other, and I think we earned ourselves a little reward."
Izuku looked at Momo for a second before smiling and moving back towards her. "Only if I can be the little spoon."
"You have yourself a deal, Izu." Momo said, wrapping her arms around Izuku's midsection and bringing him towards her. They both let out a content sigh. "Good night, Izu. I love you."
"I love you too, Mo. Sweet dreams." Izuku responded. It wasn't long until both of them were asleep.
The rest of the week continued to be uneventful for the trio of teenagers, between going to school and training, they spent most of their free time just waiting for their results from UA to come in. Himiko had created a group chat with Ochako the very next morning, and they spent some time exchanging texts back and forth.
Ochako seemed to warm up quickly to the trio, opening up more about herself to them, while Himiko did the same. It brought a smile to Izuku's and Momo's faces to see Himiko opening up to someone else other than the few people she considered family.
When Himiko had questioned Ochako about spending the day together on the weekend, Izuku and Momo noticed the reply took longer to come. Ochako had denied being able to hang out, due to personal reasons. Himiko wasn't happy about the outcome, and had questioned Ochako about it. Ochako eventually broke down and said she wouldn't be able to afford anything after spending so much of her savings to take the entrance exam.
Momo had tried to reassure that Ochako wouldn't have to pay for anything, saying that it would be Momo's treat to spending time with their new friend. Ochako had still tried to decline, but when Himiko practically begged Ochako to hang out, she had eventually cracked and accepted it. Himiko rode on the high of seeing their new friend for the rest of the week.
When Friday finally came around, the trio had received a text from Miyuki indicating they had mail from UA. Izuku and Momo had left Momo's room hand in hand to start walking towards the dining hall, when they heard a bunch of crashing and watched as Himiko flew past them.
"It's almost like she has the zoomies." Izuku commented with a smile.
"Izu!" Momo exclaimed, hitting his shoulder lightly, and laughing.
"What?" Izuku questioned, a smile never leaving his face. "She has other cat mutations, so I wouldn't be surprised if she gets the zoomies too. You've seen how excited she gets."
Momo's smile never left her face as they watched Himiko bounce off the wall at the end of the hallway, disappearing around the corner. "Now that I think about it, it makes sense." They had continued walking towards the dining hall, reaching it not long after seeing Himiko disappear inside.
"Finally!" Himiko exclaimed. "Mom wouldn't let me open my envelope without waiting for you! So hurry up and sit down so we can open them!"
Izuku chuckled. "Okay, okay!" He exclaimed, taking a seat beside Himiko while Momo sat beside him. Izuku bumped his shoulder against Himiko's lightly, causing her to look towards him. "I want you to remember that we will support you in whatever decision you decide, regardless of what's in the envelope."
"Thanks, Izuku." Himiko responded, throwing her arms around Izuku and pulling him into a hug. "And thank you, Momo." Himiko said over his shoulders. Momo reached over and scratched Himiko's head, causing her to let out a purr. Himiko froze up as she realized what just happened, quickly pulling out of the hug, hiding her face behind her hands. "Oh my god, that is so embarrassing!"
"Why?" Izuku questioned, causing Himiko to spread her fingers open and look towards him. "It's part of who you are, Himiko." Izuku reached out, and copying what Momo had just done, scratched Himiko's head and caused her to purr on instinct. "It's cute."
"You think so?" Himiko asked as she dropped her hands and leaned into Izuku's hand, purring the whole time. "I thought something was wrong when I first purred."
"Purring is usually an indication that a cat feels safe or loved." Momo answered for Izuku, smiling at the interaction. "It fills us with warmth that you feel safe and loved enough to purr in front of us."
"Thank you." Himiko whispered out before jumping at Izuku and pulling him into a very tight full body hug. She reached out for Momo, wanting her to embrace the hug; Momo happily obliged and hugged both Izuku and Himiko tightly against her. "I love you. You're the best family I could have ever asked for."
"And we love you, Himi." Izuku responded, tightening his hug a bit. "You're the best sister that Mo and I could have ever asked for."
They felt arms snake around them. "You three are the best children we could have asked for." Miyuki responded. "Yuukichi and Inko would agree with me if they were here. I don't know how we got so lucky."
"I blame Mom." Izuku chuckled, rumbling the whole hug and causing the girls to giggle. "If she wasn't complaining that day for Yuukichi to hear her, we might not even be here today."
"That's funny, because Inko said the same thing about you, Izuku." Miyuki responded, tightening the hug for a second before releasing it and stepping back. "Now let's open these letters! The results of the entrance exam had me on the edge of my seat the whole week!"
The trio of teenagers all giggled, before releasing the hug. "I think you should go first, Himi." Izuku said after they were all sitting in their own chairs again. "Mo and I already know we passed, just not what class we'll be in."
"Okay!" Himiko said, taking one of her nails and slicing the end of the envelope open, pulling out the contents. She found some papers inside and a small metal disc, which she dropped in surprise. When the disc landed on the table, it activated with All Might standing in front of them in a hologram.
They all watched in bated breath as All Might talked about Himiko's written exam, explaining that with her score, she would have easily made it into the General Education course. The video continued, showing some video clips from the practical exam, empathizing on how Himiko had saved another examinee. "Welcome Young Himiko, this will be your Hero Academia!" All Might announced at the end, showing where Himiko had placed on the leaderboard.
Izuku looked at the names on the list before recognizing one at the top, causing him to slump his shoulders. "I should have known…"
"Izu?" Momo worriedly questioned.
Izuku seemed to shake his head. "Nothing to worry about, Mo. Just some old memories resurfacing." Momo continued to look at him in worry, until he looked back towards Himiko. "Which class did you get?"
"Umm…" Himiko said, grabbing some of the papers before placing some to the side. "Here we go! Class 1-A with Oboro Shirakumo."
Izuku nodded before turning back to Momo with a smile. "Want to open ours together?" Momo smiled back, still watching Izuku's eyes and seeing some pain behind them. She made a mental note to ask him about it later, but if it was from before they had met, she knew Izuku might not want to talk about it.
"I'd love to, Izu." Momo said, holding her envelope up. "Ready?" Momo questioned, and getting a nod from Izuku, they both opened their UA letters and pulled out the contents.
The recommendation letters were different from the general letters, being that the recommendation students have already accepted their spots, so there was no hologram message device within them. Instead, they received their badges, showcasing their recommendation student status, while the papers told them what class they would be in. With a short countdown from three, Izuku and Momo both flipped up the last page with their class information on it, and quickly realized they were the same.
"Class 1-A with Oboro Shirakumo!" Izuku said excitedly, pulling Momo into a hug. "We're all in the same class!" Himiko joined in the hug, circling her arms around Izuku and Momo, and purring against them happily.
Miyuki watched them all celebrate with a smile, silently thanking Nezu for the favor of getting them all in the same class. Having met Oboro during past events that UA had hosted, she knew that her three kids would be in good hands.
"This calls for celebration!" Miyuki said excitedly. "I better tell Inko and Yuukichi!"
