Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here things go back to normal following the battle involving thieves and now Melissa is attempting to move on whilst Gran Torino is planning something for her…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 13: Yoha
Several minutes later, the scene shifts at the harbor where Wily Coyote is being taken away, where he is sporting a deep swelling on his cheek after being punched by Melissa, which Midoriya is unaware of, and thankfully, the police did not question the nature as they assumed that Wily Coyote injured himself due to his murder attempt on Melissa while not controlling the steering wheel of the speed boat.
As Midoriya is talking with the police, Gran Torino whispered to Melissa and advised her not to let anyone know that she knocked the old man out, reminding her that she doesn't have a provisional hero license, hence she could be charged for using a Quirk illegally, which she nodded.
After that, Midoriya approached Melissa and asked her if she is not really hurt, which she nodded and assured to him that she is totally fine and he has nothing to worry about, saying that she can handle things by herself, but he told her that she might get hurt if she encounter a strong villain.
Melissa realized that Midoriya is unaware that she mysteriously gained a Quirk, as well as she is unaware that she indirectly inherited a portion of the One For All Quirk, and decided to ask Gran Torino later for advise on whether to tell Midoriya about her situation or not.
A police officer then offered to escort Midoriya and Melissa to UA Academy, which the two teens nodded, and there Torino told the two to head back to Heights Alliance so that they would be safe, which the two teens nodded and assured that they will do as told.
"Yes."
"We'll head back."
"Don't worry, Mr. Torino."
"We'll go straight to the dorms."
"And thanks."
"We'll be fine now."
"Good night."
"Good night."
After that, the police car left as the officer escorted both Midoriya and Melissa to Heights Alliance while Torino stayed behind to assist the cops in rounding up the remaining crooks in case they try to make an escape, and the elderly pro hero wondered if he should tell either Midoriya or All Might about Melissa's situation, as he felt that both might become nervous wrecks should they suspect that she became the 10th holder of One For All.

Several minutes later, both Midoriya and Melissa arrived at Heights Alliance, where most of Class 1- members were there after getting word of what happened at Power Loader's shop, and the following students went to the gate to greet the two teens, which are:
- Ochako Uraraka
- Kyoka Jiro
- Momo Yaoyorozu
- Minoru Mineta
- Denki Kaminari
- Tenya Iida
- Eijiro Kirishima
- Shoto Todoroki
The eight of them surrounded Midoriya and Melissa and asked them if they are okay, as they got word that some thieves broke in at Power Loader's shop and made off with some support items, and that Melissa went after the thieves by herself until they heard that Midoriya responded to the situation and this made the eight students feel worried.
Yaoyorozu and Iida were the most worried as they knew that Melissa would be in danger because she is Quirkless, but the Class 1-A members have no idea that Melissa mysteriously gained a Quirk which was due to indirectly inheriting a small portion of the One For All from Midoriya. Through SEXUAL INTERCOURSE.
"Melissa!"
"Melissa!"
"Are you okay?"
"We just got the word!"
"Are you unhurt?"
"Going after the thieves who possess Quirks..."
"You could've gotten worse…"
"Please do not act rashly…"
Midoriya waved his hands and assured to his classmates that everything is okay and told them that he and Gran Torino took out the villains, which they nodded, and Melissa opted not to say anything about the fact that she managed to defeat a few villains earlier, recalling what Torino told her earlier about the fact that she has no provisional license, hence she couldn't take any credit, yet she is fine with it.
Kaminari and Mineta approached Melissa and asked her why she acted reckless by going after the thieves as she is Quirkless, but she said that her intellect helped her, as she reminded them how she helped during the I-Island siege, and said that she can handle herself well against anything, which the two boys accepted.
"Really?"
"I see…"
"That's good to hear…"
"At least you're not hurt…"
"Yeah…"
"You're a real beauty, you know that?"
"This year you should compete at the beauty pageant."
"Yeah…you might win…"
Soon Aizawa came and told the students to go inside the dorm as it is getting late, which Class 1-A nodded and they went inside while Melissa went to her respective dorm as she wondered up to when she would keep her status someone with a Quirk a secret, as she felt that sooner or later someone within UA Academy would find out about the fact that she gained a Quirk.

A few days later, the scene shifts at Nezu's office, where he is having a talk with Gran Torino, as the elderly pro hero asked the principal for advice on whether to let Melissa reveal the fact that she gained a Quirk, which Nezu thought carefully, as he said that while he doesn't see a problem, he felt that the authorities at I-Island might raise questions as to how Melissa got one when she was registered as Quirkless a decade ago.
Nezu then said that if Melissa were to participate in activities like internship and work studies, then he will have to register Melissa's Quirk as SUPER POWER so as to mask the fact that Melissa has a portion of One For All, which Torino slowly agree to it.
"Sounds good."
"Indeed. It masked the fact that Midoriya was Quirkless from the start and made it appear that he is a late bloomer…"
"I agree."
"But I was surprised. To think that Miss Shield would be in the same scenario as Midoriya…"
"Goodness me…"
"You don't seemed to be pleased, Torino..."
"With a reason…"
"Ha-ha…"
Nezu then asked if All Might is aware of this, which Torino said that the former Number One hero is in the dark about the fact, and there Nezu tells Torino that All Might must be informed about this which the elderly pro hero said he plan to once All Might return from a business trip, and hoped that he doesn't become a nervous wreck because of the fact that Midoriya and Melissa had sex twice.
Nezu chuckled as he commented that teenagers are really ACTIVE in showing their love, which Torino sighed in a bit of annoyance and said that Midoriya acting first before thinking is the same attributes that All Might have, which is quite a bad habit.
"Really, Torino?"
"Yes."
"How so?"
"During the internship when he went to face Stain…then went to Kamino...he rushed without thinking…he has the same pattern as Toshinori…which is the annoying part…"
"But it all worked out in the end…"
"I wonder about that, Nezu..."
"Anyway, Torino…"
"Hmm…?"
Nezu smiled and said that he will try to think of something in a way that would stealthily integrate Melissa into the Hero course while maintaining a position in the support course. Nezu asked if Melissa is having problems dealing with the Quirk as he recall seeing Midoriya injuring himself when he first used his Quirk, and Torino said that Melissa was able to handle it well without hurting herself and somewhat managed to use it without exposing herself.
Torino then asked if there is a way for Melissa to gain a provisional hero license as he mentioned to Nezu about her fighting the thieves recently and it might cause her trouble if authorities find out that she used her Quirk in an ILLEGAL way.
Nezu thought about it carefully as he sees the logic, and he tells Torino that he would contact someone and see if he could make a secret arrangement so that Melissa would take an exam without any fanfare, which Torino nodded in appreciation.
"Really?"
"Really."
"Sounds reassuring."
"It's for the best."
"I'll be counting on you, Nezu."
"Sure."
"Thanks."
"No problem."

At Gym Gamma, the scene shows that Melissa is there as she has some free time and there you can see her practicing some kick attacks with a hanging sandbag, and you can see her doing some roundhouse kicks, which she slowly showed some proficiency in doing the technique, and Melissa was sweating a bit as she has been there for about 13 minutes.
She then took a break as she grabbed a drinker and drank a liquid which turns out to be a Gatorade drink, and after a few minutes she resume her practice as she did some punches before doing a spinning roundhouse kick, but then she decided to try something out as she did a Full Cowling and did a fast spinning kick, which caused the sandbag to vibrate.
Then she did a jumping knee strike (similar to the move made by the Street Fighter character Sagat) and struck the sandbag again, this time causing it to get detached and fall to the floor. Melissa realized that she might have overdo it and made a mental note to try holding it back.
"I should be more careful…can't expose myself just yet…until Mr. Torino say it's time…"
After that, she mentally powered down as the green electricity-like static and aura slowly disappeared as Melissa attempted to try putting the sandbag back to its holster. She then wondered if she should tell Midoriya about this as she felt that he is entitled to know, yet she remembered what Torino instructed her, which is to keep her status a secret for now until he gives the go-signal when to reveal it and after she manage to gain a provisional hero license.
However, what she didn't know is that at the moment, someone accidentally saw Melissa use her Quirk just now, and the scene shows that Bakugo was peering from a made-up hill, and saw Melissa use the Full Cowling, and saw the energy aura enveloping her body.
"No way…that was…One For All...she has one like Deku…?"
He is shocked as he recognized the energy signature and knows that Melissa was Quirkless, thus he is puzzled at how she got one unless Midoriya passed it onto her. Bakugo is contemplating in confronting either Melissa or Midoriya about this, but someone appeared and spoke to Bakugo. The Class 1-A member stared in slight surprise as the person speaking to him is none other than Gran Torino.
"Hello, lad."
"Huh?"
"It's our first time meeting…"
"You…you're with All Might during the Kamino incident…"
"Yes. And it looks like you already figured out that the girl there has One For All... just like Midoriya..."
"What…how did you…?"
"…"
"…"
Bakugo was slightly surprised upon hearing that Torino figured out that Bakugo recognized the One For All signature from Melissa, and there Torino invited the teen to come with him so that they can speak in private. At a teacher's lounge, Torino told Bakugo the circumstances as well as the events from a few nights ago, and the teen was quite flabbergasted upon hearing this.
He expressed annoyance that Midoriya was being careless and that he unknowingly passed a portion of One For All to Melissa through SEX, yet he is a bit relieved that there were no other complications, such as Melissa testing negative on the pregnancy test.
There Torino advised Bakugo not to tell either Midoriya or All Might about this as Torino plan to reveal it to them once All Might return from a business trip, as well as a way to protect Melissa from unintended consequences.
"So I should keep my mouth shut for the time being, huh?"
"Just for now."
"…"
"It's for their own protection."
"Oh…fine. I'll do as you asked."
"Really, kid?"
"Yeah."
"…"
Torino nodded in relief as Bakugo is willing to keep it a secret for now, but then Bakugo asked how Torino know the fact that Bakugo know about the secret, which Torino revealed that All Might told him shortly after the provisional hero license exams.
Bakugo rolled his eyes as Torino mentioned that the teen managed to defeat Midoriya despite the latter used One For All against him. He said that Bakugo could become a contender in becoming the next symbol of peace as he is on the exact level as Midoriya, and said if Bakugo trains himself well, it might be possible to defeat Midoriya fairly.
Bakugo just sighed and said that he will defeat Midoriya on even terms yet he refused to show that he felt honored. Torino just chuckled and advised him to look after Midoriya and Melissa, which the teen sarcastically complained.
"You want me to what?"
"Think of it as a small favor…"
"I'm not their damn babysitter…!"
"It isn't that hard…"
"I think your asking way too much…"
"Now, now…"
"If you're willing to pay…I might consider…"
"Whoa, whoa…"
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, though not much action is shown, the return to normal school life is needed after a few chapters of non-stop actions…
Looks like Nezu is willing to pull the strings in order to protect Melissa from unintended consequences and potential complications, like planning to arrange a secret way to give her a provisional license to safely allow her to fight villains…
Bakugo somewhat deduced that Melissa has a portion of One For All, and Torino persuaded him to keep it a secret for the time being…
