Acid Encounters! (Mina x Izuku - Tsuyu x Izuku / Acid Emerald - Froggy Emerald)

The bus driver must have thought he was competing in the Grand Prix the way he was beelining between cars on the highway. Streamlines of red-and-white lights whizzed past the passengers like fireworks during Golden Week. The bus rocked and swayed like a heavy-handed mother pushing a bassinet to put her fussy baby asleep. In the electric blond's mind, he wished it was a heavy-handed mother and not twenty tons of heavy machinery. He was grateful that he grabbed a soda to settle his stomach. He should have known better not to eat that second bag of garlic chips before boarding.

"This better be worth it, Minoru. You damn putz!" Words he would love to spew from his lips to the dwarf but decided to decline. There wasn't much more he could say as the teen was too deep to turn back. Even if he did, what would be his restitution? Uncapping the bottle to sate his queasy stomach, he and Minoru were preparing to meet with Minoru's contact, Futaba Sakura. The parties agreed to meet outside of the parlor within the hour.

Or, so Denki thought.

"What? You're already there?! That's great." It was Minoru that was on the phone; Denki's phone. The grapehead's phone was low on juice due to downloading one of his ero-anime's videos without charging his phone. Kaminari often questioned Mineta's priorities - the assurance of downloading pornography but unable to be responsible for the phone's intended purpose.

"Seriously, Sakura, this means a lot. I love it when a person is on time and ready to work. It shows initiative, shows that you are devoted to what you are gonna bring to the table." The shorter teen smiled as he took occasional glances toward Denki. "Am I an opportunist? Well, of course, Futaba! Opportunity is my middle name and opportunity is the game I always play."

Minoru was looking like a jolly schoolboy, a kid in a candy store. Honestly to Denki, he has never seen Minoru this excited since establishing their friendship together. Minoru was so afraid that Sakura was going to flake that he sent several messages to the redhead that she was a woman of her word. He sent her the location, exact coordinates, and the nearest landmarks. The way he was conveying these things to her, it made Denki almost forget that they were preparing for a harem and not a date.

Be that as it may, that was how Minoru operated. The electric blond was pleasantly surprised.

"You don't have to. We will wait until we get there. Don't need our gelatos melting." Minoru snickered, covering his mouth to hide his obvious smile. "You absolutely have no idea how appreciative we are for this." Denki knew Minoru would add we. This was their operation - Denki's money and Minoru's antics. While taking another swig of his soda, he still pondered about this moment. This is real. They were doing this. They were nearly on the cusp of having their first girl as a 'guinea pig' to create their harem. Now the electric blond couldn't tell if the uneasiness of his stomach was due to the rocky bus ride or Minoru's commitment to the cause.

"We're not too far from here. Still have to walk a few blocks." Minoru said to Futaba. "Oh, yeah! We're quite distinguishable. You can tell by my noble looks. As for my steed, well, he's passable." Minoru turned over to Denki, displaying a sly look. It came to no surprise to the electric blond that Minoru would butter himself up. In a way, Denki couldn't blame him. However, why lie, he thought.

"I'm excited, too, Sakura-chan! I've been waiting on pins and needles for this moment." Minoru told Futaba feverishly. "I am eternally humble and grateful that you're taking out your time to meet with us. I know with a girl of your stature and personality, you could be anyplace else. So, thank you so much for this opportunity."

Denki's mouth was agape. Where was this Minoru coming from? He was speaking professionally, even bowing when appropriate. He concluded that this meeting was making him nervous. Earlier, the teen couldn't stop talking about the perverted things he planned to do with the girls in their harem. He even began browsing for lingerie and toys from adult store catalogs. Denki also knew he bookmarked pages for video cameras and began browsing on realtor websites for venues. It was alarming to the electric blond as for 1:) who was paying for all of this and 2:) is he going overboard with this?

"Kaminari? Oh! He, too, is thrilled to make your acquaintance. When I showed you your picture, he couldn't help but stare. The kind of stare when a man is hungry for something he wants but can't have…" Denki pinched the dwarf's cheeks, causing irritation to the skin.

"Jesus, sorry! Just a little humor is all." Minoru said to Denki as nervously chuckled as he returned to the phone. "By all means, I was just kidding about my friend. The kid is looking forward to meeting you." Minoru nodded as he continued to listen to Futaba on the receiver.

"I don't want to say too much on the phone but know you will be greatly compensated." Minoru said to Futaba with strong urgency. "It will be worth your while. And when it works, you can tell a friend to tell a friend." He pulled away from his cell phone when he saw that he was losing battery power. "Listen, Sakura, I am running out of juice. We will speak soon. Ciao!" Minoru wiped the sweat from his brow and placed the phone back on Denki's lap. Rubbing his hands fervently, he turned his attention to Denki.

"You know I was jesting, right?" Minoru nervously chuckled at his somewhat appalled friend.

"Jesting, my ass." Denki leaned his head back. "Even if I wanted to express interest in a girl, somehow you managed to break my balls." He pressed his face forward. "Tell me something, Minoru? Do you enjoy breaking people's balls? I mean, yours are practically raisins…."

"Damn, man, I'm sorry," replied Minoru sincerely. "You know me, I get excited and enanormed easily. Besides, Futaba must be somewhere in the category as she is the only one that answered the ad. Most of the girls told me to go 'fuck off,' 'die,' or 'go to hell!'" He gripped Denki's shoulder. "One girl wanted to inform the police and say I was a child molester." He gripped harder. "I'm a lot of things, but a lolicon?! Hell, no!" He swayed his arms. "Even some perverts have standards - incest, rape, and definitely lolicon is wrong! There's a reason why Eri-chan will be off-limits for ten years!"

The electric blond didn't immediately answer. "Well, at least it's good to know that you know where to draw the line." Denki replied. He found it surprising that even with Minoru, his perversion had standards, considering that he can get turned on by the girls wearing the plain school swimsuit. "Still, a dick move to paint me as the degenerate one, dude." He said with a displeased frown.

"I said I was sorry, okay?! Drop it already!" Minoru replied as he released his hand from Denki. "You should be thanking me anyway." The grapehead nodded approvingly as "I've saved us a few minutes of icebreaking."

"Yeah, yeah!" Denki sighed harshly through his nose. He was upset at the midget making him look bad to a cute girl that he might be having an interest in.

"If that doesn't please you, then let the idea of this harem interest you," replied Minoru.

"While we're talking about it, you have the pixie powder?" asked Denki.

Minoru cracked a smile. "It's okay, you can say it. We're in a safe place."

Denki scoffed. "Do you have the Dust?!"

"Yes and no!"

"Yes and no?" Denki questioned him while raising his eyebrow.

"Dude, that is precious cargo. No way in hell I would bring that with me," said Minoru cautiously. "We could be stopped by a cop. Even worse, what if one of the Pro Heroes stops us? After all, it is past curfew."

Denki crossed his legs. "I'm highly doubtful that Pro Heroes are unconcerned about us teenagers breaking curfew."

"You don't know who Aizawa may have spoken to prior or after the assembly. Remember what Aizawa-sensei tells us, expect the unexpected," retorted Minoru. "People like Kamui Woods, Death Arms…" He paused, momentarily shivering. "Mount Lady or Miruko!" He shook his head. "This stuff is illegal and if caught, what could happen? I don't believe juvy is enough as this could be an international disaster!" He gripped Denki's collar. "I want to lose my virginity but not to some guy in a cell!"

Denki rolled his eyes. "Quit reading Kirishima's pulp fiction magazines!" The blond pushed Minoru away. "And lay off the collar, dude! This shirt cost more than the money I took from you."

"Sorry, sorry," said Minoru.

He leaned back as he placed his hands to the back of his head. "No one really knows outside of the Support Department," said Denki. "I highly doubt anyone is looking for this." He blew a raspberry. "Especially if they don't know what it is or what it does. I don't think Remnant is highly discussed in the mainstream, let alone stuff that would matter there like the Dust. Remember that Japan was exclusively isolated for thousands of years before being discovered by outsiders."

Minoru snapped his fingers. "Now, you're resting my case. Small things can turn into big things. Let's not give anyone a reason to make us look sus, okay?!"

"Understood!" Denki pursed his lip, deciding to not further the subject. "Even though you're the most sus of the two of us!"

"Nevertheless!" Minoru raised his finger. "What's a good salesman without giving a free sample?" Minoru reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny plastic baggie containing a tiny white envelope.

"So, you do have it?"

"Nuh-huh! We have it." Minoru held the baggie, flicking it with his fingers. "Just a little proof of authenticity to show that we're deadly serious about this."

"Does she have a clue?" Denki asked as he raised his eyebrow.

"No, I didn't want to explain all of the details. It's good enough that the information I've talked to her about is on the internet," said Minoru. "Even if I delete it, it is still saved on the intranet. Once something gets on the computer, it never goes away. It may not appear, but it isn't forgotten."

"I see!"

"Anyway. I have no idea what this sample might do but if it does what I think it does like it did Midoriya, then we are sitting on a freakin' gold mine!" said Minoru as he cradled the baggie. "My little genie in the bottle. How I would love you to make my wishes come true." He kissed it and then retrieved it back into his pocket.

A teardrop appeared on Denki's head. "We're so gonna screw this up!"

A few minutes later….

As they were approaching their stop, Denki pulled the lever, causing the bus to brake. As the bus went to a complete stop, he and Minoru stood up and walked toward the exit.

The duo stepped out onto the sidewalk. Minoru stretched his arms outwardly. He looked up to the vast skyscrapers, big lights, and an array of people walking to and from their destinations. They were in Downtown, Musutafu's atrium, the most important part of the metropolis. Minoru took a breath, inhaling the city air, embracing their newfound freedom as their days of reckoning were getting closer.

He exhaled sharply. "Bright lights! Big city! We're definitely going places, buddy!" He wrapped his arm around Denki's shoulder. "Look at us! This is big business! We're becoming big shots! We might as well think of new monikers." He began to hum. "I wonder if Pimp Daddy Kane is available?"

"Cliche much?" Denki imagined scribbles above his head, followed by a sweatdrop on his face. "We're so definitely gonna fail!"

"By the way." Minoru took hold of Denki's chin. He pulled him downward and began sniffing.

The blond was taken aback. "What in the hell are you doing, baka!?"

"Sorry, man! Doing a breath check is all." Minoru said apologetically as he began sniffing it. His face frowned. "We might need to head by a convenience store on the way." He bumped Denki's shoulder. "Good thing that you have some money, don'cha?!"

Denki breathed into his enclosed hand. "My breath smells fine!"

Minoru waved his hand. "Unless you are saying Aoyama's stinky cheeses' fine." He plugged his nose. "Then your meaning and my meaning are two completely different things."

The blond raised his eyebrow. "Just ate some garlic chips earlier. What of it?!" He was becoming defensive. "Smells better than what your hands have recently touched."

"Firstly, screw you! Secondly, the only excuse why your breath should be atrocious is because you were feasting on raw shrimp," said Minoru seriously. "C'mon, dude! Think! Only God knows what Jirou thought when you guys were kissing."

"We...actually didn't…" Denki rubbed his shoulder nervously. "Kissed on the mouth."

"Didn't you say that she kissed you?"

He shook his head side to side. "Well...yeah. On my neck, my cheek, but there is a stronger reason why we didn't kiss each other," said Denki as he averted his eyes from Minoru. "And you can say that it had to deal with one's breath!"

"Why don't you wanna kiss? You should be grateful I am doing you this favor!"

"Trust me, Kyouka! I would love nothing more...but...but…"

"Aw, for real?! It's your body! You made this stuff!"

Minoru's mouth was agape and he became white-eyed. A croaking noise from his throat was released momentarily. "Nothing brings me greater joy than to punch you in your gut right now." He became teary-eyed as he grabbed Denki's shirt. "Please tell me that you didn't go for a home run! Swear to the gods! Swear to Remnant's gods! Swear on your mother that you two didn't have sex."

"I'd told you that I'm half a virgin." He exhaled loudly, pushing Minoru off of him. "Yes, she and I dry humped. Yes, I ate her out. And yes, she gave me a blowjob."

"So why lie about the peaches?"

"I didn't want to make you look bad, okay?"

"C'mon, Denki Kaminari! If we're going to be partners, then we can't be keeping secrets from each other," replied Minoru defensively. "We're bros and you're all I got!"

The blond bowed apologetically. "Sorry, Minoru, sorry!" He looked skyward. "I didn't realize that this means so much to you."

"It does! I am already trailing last and the race has barely started," said Minoru. "I know Deku got laid, I just know it! Bakugou is getting some from that big busty chick, which I still don't understand the FUCK how that happened. It's no secret that Kayama-sensei is giving it up to Aizawa-sensei and every other Pro Hero in the city. Who knows who else is getting some. The nearest I got to a kiss is when hitting the pavement from a girl's punch, slap, or Quirk." He partially smiled. "Well, there are the girls' used panties and among other things. Tee-hee!"

"Okay! From now on, I promise that I won't keep anything from you ever again." Denki spat on his hand and extended it to Minoru. "Blood ties to friendship and brotherhood from this point on."

Minoru nodded, spitting on his hand as he extended it to Denki. "Brotherhood from this point on. We won't keep secrets in the name of our harem." Both squeezed their hands tightly, shaking it to confirm their ties.

"Great!" Denki wiped his hand on his pants. "Now there are two reasons to go to the convenience store.

Minoru nodded, displaying a smile on his face. "Let's make haste! Don't want to leave our lady waiting." He turned to the direction of the convenience store. "Man, I am a bit relieved." He said to Denki. "Having sex is one thing, but the kiss? That is the absolute icing and cherry on the cake. At least our lips are virgins to that."

Denki didn't answer. Instead, he began whistling a tune. That caused concern from Minoru as he turned around. "Denki, right?" His face softened. "Denki, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Hey, Kaminari?"

"Shinsou? What's up? Didn't know you were still hanging around."

"Listen! I think you might deserve this! *CHU!*"

"Whoa! Shinsou-chan? What's that for?"

"Don't look at this for it isn't anything. You're a good guy! Yes, you're a cheeky bastard, but you do deserve so much better than Misery Chick Jirou-chan."

"You really think so?"

"Listen, spaz! One free compliment per customer. I would pencil you in but that wouldn't be fair to your new maidens. Plus, it was a friendship kiss. It doesn't count! It doesn't count! Later, Kaminari!"

"Denki?"

Denki scratched under his chin. He sighed nervously. "Yeah, remember when I forgot my jacket on the way back to the dorms when I was gonna make breakfast?"

"Shinsou?"

"Yes!"

Denki lost his breath when Minoru's fist was met with his stomach.

"Ouch, you bastard!"

Now there were three reasons they needed to go to the convenience store. He was in need of antacids.

"And great, now it's all over my shoes!"

"Suits you anyway, Vomit Boy!"


Worry wasn't the only expression written on Ochako's face. Incandescent with rage was also an accessory. Judging by the time of arrival on their tickets, the train should have been here over thirty-five minutes ago. Because it was late into the midnight hour, there wasn't any announcement from the PA system. She didn't receive a notification on her cell phone of any train delays. As if fate decided that the train wasn't going to take Ochako to her destination and allow that frog vixen to do as she pleased with her Deku!

The gravity girl felt stupid for not acting up, she should have known that Tsuyu was the one behind all of this. And what hurts even more is that it was her best friend who stabbed her behind her back and tried to steal her boyfriend.

But a thought was nagging in the back of her head: her encounter with Mina earlier. From her attitude and wording, Ochako suspected that the pink-skinned teen was leaving her with a hidden message of what was going on with Izuku, it all clicked when Ochako found that the place she talked about, Jurai-by-the-sea, was a hot springs resort. Mina isn't dumb, but she, alongside Kaminari, was the least smarter of the class and by her smug attitude, it was obvious she knew what that place actually was. Looking back at the pink girl's exact wording, Ochako realized that there was a second meaning to the words used.

But why? Why be so indirect when she normally wouldn't beat around the bush and say what she thinks? And more importantly, why narc on Tsuyu to begin with? Weren't the rest of the girls working together? Did they turn on Tsuyu or was it just Mina? Ochako wouldn't be surprised by the former, after all, that's exactly what happened to her a few days ago.

Regardless, the others will have to wait in line, because the gravity girl will be the first to unleash her wrath upon that bitch frog!

The clock on the terminal wall displayed the time of a few minutes after midnight. It was now Tuesday, approaching twilight. Tenya looked at his watch as the time on the wall coincided with him. They were pushing it close. Heading to the mountains, retrieving Deku, and heading back to the UA before sunrise was going to be a daunting task. As they were sitting outside the terminal, Ochako paced back and forth on the train platform. Shouto sat silently as he was browsing on his cell phone. Tenya, as always, carried a book to keep him occupied: The Big Lie: Schnee Dust Company and the Unethical Treatment of Faunuses.

Ochako was cold, despite the raging inferno burning in her soul, shivering from the thin jacket she was wearing. She didn't think the temperatures were going to be this cool at this time of night. She wrapped her arms tightly, hoping to conceal any warmth.

It didn't happen without notice from Shouto.

"You look cold. Here, take my jacket, Uraraka." The icy hot teen stood up from his wooden seat and removed his jacket and placed it on the round-face teen.

"Thanks, Todoroki-kun," replied Ochako gratefully. "You don't have to do this."

"It's no problem," said Shouto. "Aneki would kill me if I don't be helpful for a change."

She released a faint smile. "You guys didn't have to come," she said assuringly. "I could've done this venture without you all." She pressed her lip. "You guys don't need to face any more trouble. This is my trouble and my punishment. No need to make it a three-fer!"

The glass-wearing engine teen intervened. "Nonsense, Uraraka!" He closed his book and placed it beside him. "We're your friends. What kind of bloody bastards would allow a girl to face the elements alone? Who knows what can happen at night." He pressed his glasses. "A stranger or a bear. Even a Villain from the League could be lurking. After all, perusing the darkness is their habitat."

Shouto was calling poppycock on Tenya's sudden chivalry. Iida was facing pressing issues with further punishment and was considering staying behind. It took a lot to sway the engine teen to join him. He needed someone as a source of speed in case they would have to run away from any bears, strangers, or Villains.

"I'm thankful, guys! Really!" She bowed humbly to her classmates. "You're definitely honorable friends."

Shouto nodded firmly. "All is well, Uraraka-chan!"

The round-face teen blushed. "Call me Ochako!"

"Shouto," replied the icy hot teen.

"Same for me, Ochako," said Tenya with a smile, flipping his right arm up. "But let's keep the '-kun,' would ya? A bit too soon don'cha think?"

Her smile proceeded to fade when thoughts of the unknown resided in her troubled mind once again. Every precious second counted as she knew Tsuyu was having her way with Izuku. She looked at the empty train tracks. "It would have been better taking a Sky Bison or a Morrow if I would have known that the train would be taking its sweet time." She scoffed. "Holy Esdeath, where is the train?! Who knows what that skank is doing to my precious bun-bun!"

Tenya raised his eyebrow. He believed that it was now the opportunity to ask the million-dollar question. "What's going on, Ochako-kun? And what does it have to do with Deku and Asui-kun?"

A pregnant pause ensued. She gave a blank expression to the boys. They were in the dark, she thought to herself. Would they be reliable and trusting if she were to give away precious information about her current situation with the girls? She pursed her lips. "It's currently complicated, the girls and I."

"Obviously," said Tenya. "We could tell. Heavens, all of us boys could tell. The atmosphere was unpleasantly stale. It kinda worried me."

"Was it that obvious?" she asked Tenya.

The icy hot teen clicked his tongue. "We're boys! We're more straightforward than you guys. We hold grudges and then drop them like hot potatoes. You guys hold grudges and allow the potatoes to simmer until it is time to serve." He shivered. "Hell has no fury, that's for sure!"

"What concerns us is this. What's going on with Asui-kun and Deku? What's with the onsen? And why are we going to get them?" He peered over his glasses. "Did something happen between you all? I know it is rude to pry, but since we are now involved, I would not mind some details about this."

"Dude," interjected Shouto. "If Ochako doesn't want to talk about it, then she doesn't have to. We're here as bodyguards more than anything else. If it is beef between them, then let them be the farmers."

"I reckon you're right." Tenya removed his glasses. "However, it still doesn't explain why Asui-kun and Deku are at a resort, on a school night if I may add, especially since Ochako-kun here is dating Deku." He shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry to be nosy but it is just weird."

Shouto pinched the bridge of his nose. "To be the class president and genius, you can be such a dumbass. Learn how to read the mood, doofus!" He obviously knew the situation at hand - Tsuyu is out with Izuku and probably engaging in only God-knows-what. He knew from Momo that the vixen was attracted to Deku and taking him to the onsen inconspicuously during the school day was her plan of action. Discreet and opaque suited the frog girl, with the exception of catching him and Momo in the act a couple of nights prior.

The icy hot teen didn't want to believe that Tsuyu would do something as low as trying to steal Izuku for herself, but that was just him being naive as he knew from Momo how much the frog girl and the others wanted to be with the emerald teen. Shouto figures that after this, he will inform Tenya of the situation, but now it's not the time or the place and he would prefer to do so with Izuku when they were back safe at the dorms. Still, the engine teen's exaggerated seriousness makes him denser than a boulder; if he didn't at least get the idea of what was happening, anyone else would have guessed that an NTR attempt was at play here.

Ochako gathered her thoughts, wanting to find the right words without further involving the boys. "Let's say that Tsuyu is somewhere that she doesn't need to be." She raised her finger. "And she is with somebody that she doesn't need to be with."

Tenya nodded affirmatively. "Fair enough."

Shouto interjected. "Have you thought about how you were going to handle this?" If the fiasco last weekend was anything to go by, he and Iida will need to be ready to prevent damages on private property.

"Depends on the degree of the fair works of a doctor, a bail bondsman, or a funeral director," replied Ochako. "I don't like playing little girl games." She slammed her hand with her fist. "I play for keeps!" A war was declared in her mind - fighting against her best friend and preparing for a second battle when Blake Belladonna arrived.

"Let's not involve those parties, per se!" Shouto touched Ochako's tense shoulder. "I can feel the heat coming from you but allow yourself to be still and have peace. We can't just automatically jump to conclusions." In his heart, he knew that everything he said were lies (partially). He just wanted Ochako to have a peace of mind before heading up to the onsen.

"As long as it doesn't end violently, then I am willing to do anything to help," said Tenya as he put on his glasses. It was obvious for him that Ochako was enraged at Asui for some reason, he just didn't understand why. Then again things have been very tense with the girls as of late. "I still think about what Sensei said during the assembly."

Shouto didn't immediately answer, pondering about earlier at the assembly gave him some thought. It gave him some painful reminders of his past - the relationships, or lack thereof, with his parents, particularly with his father. He couldn't explain how Sensei triggered those thoughts, nevertheless, it left him with a strange feeling in his chest. Be that as it may, Sensei was right. The relationship with his female classmates was declining and filled with malevolence. If they don't solve their problem, then there will be trouble when the Beacon students arrive. The question he was asking himself was what he should do. What could Tenya do? What can the others do to mend the obvious breaking ties between the girls?

"Once we get there, then they can explain themselves." Shouto regained his composure, finally deciding on choosing the appropriate words. "Conversation over confrontation."

"I concur with Shouto-kun here," said Tenya. "What good will it do if you were to get Asui-kun? If anything, we could be jumping to conclusions." Another reason why the boys were present was also to make sure another mess doesn't happen, so avoiding anything remotely close to violence is the way to go.

"Yeah...we'll see!" Ochako looked straightforward at the lone, empty track. Shouto looked over to Tenya, implying not to speak any further with the very rightfully agitated Ochako. She turned to the boys. "Oh, for the record Shouto-kun, if I did have a piece, it would definitely be steel."

"There is no helping this girl. It stinks being in the middle, defending her and protecting Momo. I know a lot but at the same time don't know a lot. I can't tell Ochako because that will violate Momo's trust for me. Yet again, I can't give Momo details about what's going on because that will violate Ochako's trust for me." Shouto knew that Momo had been trying to reach him earlier in the night, but didn't want to give Momo any suspicions of his whereabouts, thus deciding to not answer her call. Hopefully that didn't upset or worry her in any way, regardless he'll call her later.

It was then that the trio of teenagers saw the train arriving at the station.

"Like a mirage in the desert, here's my train!" Ochako sighed loudly.

After coming to a full stop, the doors opened up, allowing for the surprisingly large number of passengers to walk out. Most of them were men, salarymen and skilled trade workers coming back home after a long day of work.

Without a second thought, Ochako rushed into the train, followed by her two companions.

While Shouto and Tenya took their seats, the round-faced girl opted to remain standing due to restlessness. "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" The girl muttered under her breath as she tapped her right foot impatiently, wanting for the train to take off immediately. "Any more seconds wasted is another second that treacherous thieving frog whore can have her fat hands on my man!" She thought lividly as she knew they couldn't afford to waste any more time than they had.

Tenya pressed his face near Shouto, using his hand to cover his mouth. "I'm concerned," he whispered to him.

"Of course, you are," replied Shouto.

"I've noticed the oddities of the girls ever since Midoriya-kun became a Faunus. Their behaviors are eccentrically neurotic."

The icy hot teen squeezed above his nose. "Iida, we are breaking curfew in the middle of the night on our way to the mountains that we have never been before." He then rolled his eyes. "I think I am acutely aware of this." He turned to his classmate. "Don't take this the wrong way, but sometimes there are things that are obviously present but oftentimes it is kept to yourself."

Tenya stared blankly at Shouto.

Shouto sighed. "Learn how to read the mood, dude!"

"So you understand where I am coming from?"

Shouto turned away. He gripped his chin. "Let's say you're right. Let's say that since Izuku has been a Faunus, weird and freak occurrences have happened." He raised his finger. "But where is the proof?" He crossed his arms. "Can you feel where I am coming from?"

Tenya nodded in concurrence. "So, you are deducing your hypothesis?"

"I can have a hypothesis, but without supporting evidence, it's nothing more than a theory. So, it isn't really deducing without figuring out what the situation is."

"The situation is we're out here getting Deku from God-knows-where with Tsuyu from doing God-knows-what," he said to Shouto. "Isn't this strange to you? It is certainly not an anomaly."

Shouto sighed ardently. "I agree that Deku has changed. The changes have affected us but we can't say that it is because of him. Ever heard of cluster analysis?"

The class president was taken aback. Didn't think that Todoroki had insight on a topic that was categorized in the social sciences. "Go on."

"Cluster analysis defines incidents in which ongoing events occur within a definite period of time," said Shouto. "In other words, it could be a coincidence that when Izuku became a Faunus, things changed. Better yet, when we got announced about us hosting the Beacon arrivals, did we change?"

"What do you mean?"

"Remnant citizens and Earthlings are becoming one. And yet we don't know anything about these people. We've heard of them, but for some, it's only by name." He pointed at his chest. "I haven't yet interacted with one. I mean, you have, but it was cordial, yet never familial." Shouto said to Tenya. "Our minds vary and we will think differently. We don't know what they will bring. Yet again, I am not saying they are the reason for the sudden changes, but let's not rule everything out until we are sure."

Tenya didn't answer. He appeared surprised by Shouto's explanations.

"Seeing Deku becoming a Faunus could have subconsciously made a change in us. Routines, actions, our way of thinking, who knows. Regardless, we just have to ride it out until things settle down. And that is how a cluster works. It's a wave, a phase, and then it's gone."

Tenya was impressed. "Wow! Impressive!" The engine teen flexed his arm.

"There is more than meets the eye." Shouto winked with his burnt eye. "Watching you and Yaoyorozu showed me that."

Tenya blushed, charmed that he was being recognized and complimented. He turned face-forward to the window. "If we think Asui-kun is doing what I hope she isn't, what do you think will happen?" He asked with concern. He already had an idea of what might be happening and he did not like it one bit.

"Conversation over confrontation. What else can we do?" Shouto replied calmly as he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and leaned downward to the seat. He also grabbed his AirPods and put them in his ears.

"Agreed." Tenya figured that it was a more suitable answer, justifying the reason for breaking curfew. He believed that sometimes there was nothing wrong being in trouble if it was for the greater good - a good kind of trouble.

The door closed off and a few seconds later the train started moving, leaving the station in seconds.

"About goddamn time!" Ochako thought to herself as she kept hold of a bar to keep herself up. She brought out her phone to check the time. It was twenty minutes...after midnight. The train was nearly an hour late. The gravity girl scowled at this before shoving her phone back into her pocket angrily. The girl took a deep breath and calmed down as best she could. Yes, it was very bad how much time was lost with this unforeseen delay, but Ochako knew she needed to keep her head cool. "Hang on, Izuku. I'm coming!" She thought with fiery determination as she looked to the window forward, watching the world outside blur by. She prayed for her boyfriend's wellbeing and safety.

Ochako knew better to cause a scene, but Tsuyu better not have dared to hurt her precious bun or else the 'conversation over confrontation' tactic will be off the table…


"The trick is to not dwindle on the past BUT focus on the today." The brown-skinned waitress wished she had a sawed-off shotgun to blast that advice giver into Kingdom Come. Out of work and in-between mistresses, she thought working at the ice cream eatery should be easy. Bunch of whiny brats crying out to their mothers begging and blowing snot rockets to eat these faux-dairy treats. "'Easy as it can be,' they say. 'You're just handing ice cream to the customers,' they say. 'Don't worry, M., you have these miscreants, the scums of the Earth right to their knees when you flatter them with their charm.'" Pure, utter bullshit were her true emotions. It disgusted the waitress that she had to wait leg and foot for one customer, a customer. Of course, she was a cute nerdy ginger that anyone could fawn over. But where did she get her appetite? For a teenage gamer, she knew how to put the bowls away. She would give sumo wrestlers, hopeless romantics, L, Near, Monkey D. Luffy, and even Goku, an inferiority complex.

"M. Get the molasses out of your buns and come here." The short blonde manager announced bluntly, tapping his disher on the table.

Blowing a raspberry, she stepped away from the corner booth to approach the man she once had a not-so-distant past. Taking her time, she approached her manager. "Yes, Boss!"

With the disher, she pointed at the nerdy redhead. "Ginger here requested the Valkyrie Special."

"What?!" The waitress was displeased. She knew what the special entailed, something that she didn't have the patience or the mood to make. She groaned. "What the hell, Boss!"

"Hey, watch the attitude. This is a friendly family joint," retorted the manager. "The days of fawning and drooling over your mistress are done." He produced a Cheshire grin. "Your servitude is catering to these hungry, paying customers. Now unless you want to discuss with the parole board about things that were kept between us about your past…"

M slammed the table. Gritting her teeth, knowing that she couldn't afford to return to jail, she produced a forced smile. "No, sir!"

"Great," said the manager, now in a much happier mood. "Ginger requested two orders of the Valkyrie Special. A five-pounder!"

"There aren't enough cow tits in the world for one person to consume that diary treat," she said.

"And fortunately you have two hands." The waiter tossed the dishers at M, immediately catching them upon sight. He whistled. "Wow! If only you were better with your hands before suffering an utter defeat. But alas, you were given mercy. Can't speak for your poor, poor mistress."

"You leave Mistress out of this."

"And you're going to join her," he retorted. "One phone call to your parole officer and…."

Tiny miniscule cracks were appearing on the table. Knowing that the manager had an upper hand, and despite that he knew what she could do to him, the powers that be were against her. Times were changing and so were the politics between heroes and villains. She sighed heavily through her nose, slowly making her way behind the booth to prepare the ginger's stupid dessert.

As she was preparing the dessert, the manager looked over the waitress. "And be sure to present this with a smile, will you? We're still getting complaints of your bulgy vein in your forehead and deathly stares."

"I don't need to take this," she murmured as she was stabbing the ice cream carton with the disher, wishing it could be the manager.

"Either me or your cellie," he replied with a smirk. "Now, make the damn scoop of ice cream, ice cream scooper!"

"Yeah, yeah! Sure," said M. "Jackass!"

The manager felt the situation had been neutralized. Before taking care of other affairs, he needed to make one more comment. "Learn to dress appropriately, will you? Those maid outfits are company uniforms." He observed the butler-style uniform which contradicted the appearance of his restaurant. "Learn to set an example. This is a family restaurant."

"That's hilariously hypocritical. So what was yesterday when you wanted me to make you a family? I got that precious wrinkled maid uniform in my closet, in your size." She snickered to herself while grabbing the chocolate shavings for the vanilla ice cream. "I will 'try' to dress 'appropriately', Boss."

"Thank you," replied the manager. "Don't let me down."

"Oh, I won't let you down!" "...on me again!"

A bit later….

Minoru was fortunate that Sakura was a patient girl. Thirty more minutes were delayed due to having to go to the nearest restroom to clean off Denki's garlic chips from each other. Denki was grateful to wear an undershirt as it will be his current form of wear for tonight's meeting. He couldn't speak for Minoru but he should be used to having stains on certain areas of his clothing.

Their breaths were freshened, the pine-scented air freshener covered any foul scents from earlier, and Denki's stomach was settled. At least the teen had room for dessert.

Minoru and Denki entered the ice cream parlor. For a late night, it was surprisingly crowded. He could see college kids, inebriated salarymen, and a great abundance of foreigners.

"Great! This would be the one night I look like a hot mess!" Denki was deadpanned as he looked over to his jealous friend with great frustration. His shirt was used as a holster on his waist as some of his 'snack' covered his pants and shoes, his new shoes. The last thing he wanted to be called was Vomit Boy (again). He hoped to God that no one would pay him any attention when they went further inside the parlor.

Both teens eyed each other as Minoru brushed past Denki. It wasn't planned about their current attitudes, but both parties decided to save their feelings after the meeting.

Denki hoped that there were other friends of Minoru that would allow him to couch surf for the night. Just be sure to hide their pornography, girlfriends, and definitely their mattress. Yet again, what other friends?

"Hmm." The dwarf stuck out his tongue. "Denki, are you able to see her?"

"Why not get a booster seat to help find your guinea pig."

Minoru frowned. "Chill, man. Let's keep this strictly business. Can you see her?"

Denki folded his arms. His face was flat. "I don't know. Ask your mama."

Minoru immediately turned around, giving Denki a strong gaze. "That's a new low, man."

The electric blond clicked his tongue. "Actually, the bar was lower than that whore's drawers. Oh, wait a minute. Was it at a bar where your mother used to strip for bus fare, food stamps, beer, and pills? That could explain your height, by the way."

Minoru gripped his fist. He approached the teen and jabbed his finger to his chest. "Denki, I am sorry for punching you. It was wrong. Sorry for making you puke and calling you Vomit Boy. However, I am going to say this once and only once. No mentioning mothers." He furrowed his eyes. "This will be the last time you ever say something negative about my mother." He scoffed loudly. "However, I can't speak for your father when he learns that the paternity test comes back as negative. Quite a shocker, isn't it? That could explain why your mother sends you quick money."

Denki stared blankly at the dwarf, more so of his quick rebuttal.

"Our beef is with us. Not our parents." He pointed at the electric blond. "Say about my mama again and I swear on Nighteye's grave, scratch that, on Kota Izumi's parents' spirit that I will tell your mother what really happened to her money." He stomped his foot. "For the sake of my mother, I will ruin this operation. Girls come and go but I only get one mom. Wakarimasu ka?"

The electric blond was shivering. He didn't think the dwarf had the audacity, let alone the guile to defend himself. "Wakarimasu ne!"

"Ahem!"

The boys turned around when they were approached by the brown-skinned mistress. Judging by her presentation and demeanor, Denki knew that this waitress wasn't the one to be trifled with. As for Minoru, lecherous thoughts filled his mind...and the blood in his once flaccid penis.

"Welcome to Valkyrie's," said the waitress monotonously. "How many in your party?"

Denki displayed his fingers. "Two...well, three!" He nervously rubbed his head. "We're being expected actually."

"Don't really need the details and really don't care," she thought grimacingly. However, the wannabe Pikachu was the least of her concerns. It was the eye-raping short pervert standing inches away from her space. In her mind, there was a six-foot minimum and she didn't need anything occupying that space. "Yes," she said bluntly to the tiny gremlin.

Minoru cleared his thoughts, trying what he could say to break the ice. "Umm...yes, hi!" He said with a chipper voice. "How are you today, Miss?!"

M pursed her lips. She placed her hand on one hip and looked directly at Minoru. "Well, I am a twenty-something year old woman working as an underpaid waitress in Musutafu. I once had a mistress who is currently serving time. I, too, am currently on parole. My sparrow just died. I drive a twenty-five year old tan Cressida because I can't afford a new car or afford insurance on my salary. I live in a studio apartment. Sometimes, I still wet the bed. I have developed a clicking sound in my jaw whenever I eat. I have ingrown hairs on my vagina and on my stomach, I get rashes. I also have ovarian cysts. Despite my interest in the fairer sex, the only person who wants to fuck me is my manager. PS, he only has one ball." After gauging Minoru a bit longer, she decided to conclude the sentence. "So I guess...better than you!"

The dwarf was too white-eyed to respond. Denki bowed politely and excused himself from the mean-spirited waitress. Once they felt they were at a safer distance, they went on with their search. He stuck out his tongue as he gazed at the crowd for Futaba. "What did she say she would be wearing?"

"She would be wearing headphones and a black beret," answered Minoru as he grabbed a nearby chair as a prop to stand on.

The blond continued to scan. He paused when he saw stacks of bowls towering each other like columns. "Hey, Minoru? How much of an ice cream lover Sakura-chan claims to be?"

Minoru used Denki's shoulder as a prop as he looked at the direction of the towered bowls. He nodded approvingly. "Alas, there she is! At four o'clock."

Denki checked his breath, this time for good measure since there was now a reason to have breath mints. Minoru, too, checked his breath for freshness.

"All right. We're ready for our meeting," said Minoru as he hopped out of the chair.

As the duo made their way to Sakura, Denki still thought about Minoru's words about destroying his own harem before it would begin due to his harsh words towards his mother. At least it could be said that Minoru does have moral fiber and integrity.

"Minoru," said Denki.

"Yeah?" replied Minoru.

"Were you serious? You would destroy a harem because of your mother?" asked Denki.

Minoru nodded as his face flattened. "A year before coming to UA, I almost lost my mother to cancer. Colon cancer to be exact! It was stage four, it was a close call. She was in and out of hospitals. There were moments in which the symptoms were worse than dying. At one point, she was sent to hospice. Do you hear me, man? Hospice! No matter what the doctors or people said, I had that faith that my mother was going to walk out of that place alive." A tear came from his eye. "She has beaten it and she is now in remission." He gripped his fists. "Since then, I have been heavily defensive about my mother."

He turned to Denki. "I almost lost her, dude. Pick on me, fine! Give me hell, fine! I'm used to it." His lips began to quiver. "I am willing to die if anyone says anything negative about my mother." His voice became broken. "League of Villains, White Fang if they come to this universe, I will even go to war with God about my mother. I am a pervert. I am a sexual deviant. I steal women's panties. I sneak into ladies' locker rooms. But when it comes to my mother, I will always be her baby boy. That is the only woman in the world that knows me best." Minoru turned around and walked toward Futaba Sakura.

Denki reflected momentarily as it made him realize that there was more to Minoru than what others know. He knew of his nature and what encompasses it, nevertheless, he also showed that he is compassionate about his loved ones. In a way, he felt honored that Minoru checked him. He wouldn't know what he would have done if someone talked about his mother.

A bit more later….

A short, petite, redhead girl sat alone on an ice-cream bowl littered table, many rows of bowls stacked upon each other in the shape of towers. Ren and Ann were right about coming to this place. "Hmm-mmm! The Golden Valkyrie. Quadruple scoops of rare-golden vanilla from the Andes Mountains. Toppled with shaved chocolate trimmings from the farms in Colombia. Guzzled with molten hot white chocolate and almonds from the farms of Northern California." Rubbing her belly and licking her lips, she couldn't wait to feast the fine delicacy in front of her. "According to Boss and Takamaki, I should be seeing God, Buddha, and even that lying, backstabbing Korra in every bite."

Denki and Minoru witnessed the relatively short and petite girl devouring the large ice cream like there was no tomorrow and both of the perverted teens stood there stunned and jaw-dropped. "Damn…She's got quite the appetite." Denki uttered as a teardrop appeared on his forehead

"Yeah, she must have quite a big stomach for a girl like her." Minoru agreed, sweat dropping as well. "Where did all of that ice cream go?" The most impressive thing for him was that with how much ice cream she ate, going off the towers of bowls littering her table, there wasn't a single sign of her gaining any weight, remaining lean and petite. "Nirengeki from class 1-B definitely has competition if you know what I mean."

"True that." Denki nodded in agreement "Maybe she's got a very fast metabolism or something." He added, scratching the back of his head. "And look, she's eating that fast, but doesn't seem like she's getting a brain freeze." He pointed out another impressive noteworthy thing about her as the girl devoured her treat as if she was in an eating contest.

The grape-headed teen nodded approvingly. "Mad respect."

"Ditto." Denki nodded in agreement.

After finishing her treat, the girl happily brought out her Nintendo Switch and started playing while humming a pleasant tune. She was so focused playing Animal Crossing that she didn't notice individuals approaching her.

The redhead girl looked up from her game and removed the headphones from her ears and glanced at the two boys that approached her. A pregnant silence ensued as both parties were staring at each other. Denki felt a tad bit awkward, Minoru had a bit of a wedgie in his pants…and was very nervous at the moment. As for Futaba, she should have told the waitress to make it three bowls and six pounds.

Denki elbowed Minoru. It was his idea to initiate the meeting. The dwarf stepped forward. "Ahem!" He cleared his throat. "Futaba Sakura?"

The ginger wiped the ice cream moustache with her arm. Her eyes fixated toward the shorter one. "Who's asking?"

"Who's asking 'who's asking,'" retorted Minoru.

"A strange new world, one may say." Sakura produced a smile. "Or a world where everyone has gone mad and we're just late to the party." The ginger meticulously eyed the teens. "It's a mad, mad world. A world where it is do or die, sink or swim." She furrowed her eyebrows. "Drip or drown!"

Denki concluded that this was one of the girl's idiosyncrasies. It was surprising to the electric blond just by presentation alone that she was definitely peculiar.

"A world where people may pick sides. Good or evil? Right or wrong? Who knows," the ginger continued. "Who says so?"

"Umm…." The duo uttered unisonly.

"To bite the apple of knowledge or to feast for the tree of good and evil. To be a knight or to become a villain. Who says it is right or wrong, good or evil." She pursed her lips, putting her fingertips to her lips. "But, it's okay! There is a little madness inside each of us."

"That was certainly a great way to break the ice." Minoru extended his hand. "Minoru Mineta, finally nice to meet you in person."

"Charmed, Futaba Sakura." Sakura returned his handshake. Her eyes were now on Denki. "And this must be the noble steed you were mentioning. Like the bolt on your hair. A steed with mighty horsepower?"

"Um…thanks, I think!" Becoming flustered and a little embarrassed, he extended his hand to Futaba. "The name is Denki Kaminari. Nice to meet you."

"Likewise." She returned his handshake, followed by a kiss to his hand. "The pleasure is all mine, your nobleness!"

Minoru cleared his throat. "Okay, we all made our introductions. Now, where should we start?"

Denki interjected. "Just like that? We haven't even gotten our ice cream and got ourselves acquainted with each other yet."

"Time is of the essence," retorted the dwarf. "And don't need to take away any more of her precious time."

The nerdy ginger giggled. "Time is what you make of it." She flicked Minoru's nose. "It took time for us to come together. It took your parents time to make the precious tools that we are. It took Nintendo a great time to create this wonderful console." She patted Minoru's shoulder. "And time to convince me on what you're pitching." She crossed her legs. "Am I making sense here?"

The electric blond nervously rubbed his shoulder. For once, he was convinced that Minoru picked the right girl for their harem. She appeared a few sandwiches short of a picnic basket.

"I would offer you guys a seat." She turned her head to the table filled with bowls.

"Ahem!" The blond manager interjected as he appeared before them. "Don't worry. The best patrons here get what they deserve - quality!" He clapped his hands. "M! Be a dear and clear the table for our guests please."

The brown-skinned waitress frowned as she approached the table. Her eyes immediately darted to Minoru, which caused the teen to hide behind Denki.

"Anything else I can do for you, madam?" The manager asked Futaba.

"Guys?" Futaba looked onto Denki and Minoru.

"Well, I wouldn't mind what you had earlier. The Golden Valkyrie!" Minoru said.

"Excellent!" The manager looked at M. "Three Golden Valkyries!"

The waitress grunted as she had to clear the tables and make the desserts. "Fine," she said as she forcefully smiled.

The perverted duo took their seats across from Futaba. After ordering their treats, the trio of teenagers went down to business. It was finally time to discuss the plans for their harem.


A few hours earlier back at Jurai-by-the-sea…

Izuku left the hot springs and went to his room to put on his clothes. Unsurprisingly he found Tsuyu's backpack, but just proceeded to dress up in silence. After that, the young male Faunus went to the terrace of the room and remained there, leaning on the bar, taking in the cool air as he gazed upon the night sky decorated due to the stars and the moon. It was supposed to be a lovely night. Although too young to drink, he would have gotten a bottle of sparkling white grape juice, played some jazz, snuggled up with Ochako under a blanket and watched the sparkling darkness. It would have been followed by a soothing dip in the onsen and a lovely evening as they would make love on the terrace under the stars. But instead, he was now caught in a lie with a woman who made him lower his inhibitions and instinctively have sex with her.

He told the maiden hostess that he wasn't hungry and to save his food for later. He just wanted to be alone. Alone with his thoughts, reflecting on his actions, trying to decipher how to control himself as Izuku and his inner beast that is a Faunus. Mind over matter, conscience over instinct.

His mind lingered on the events that just happened a while ago with Tsuyu at the indoor onsen. His thoughts and feelings on the matter were all over the place, swirling all around him.

On one hand he feels disgusted at himself for falling prey to his baser instincts instead of sticking to his better judgment, committing an act of infidelity on his beloved Ochako. However, on the other hand, the emerald knows that his Faunus physiology is way more prone to be more respective to sexual stimuli than a regurlar human. Heck, earlier in the afternoon he was feeling horny, so being locked on with a beautiful teenager that was non-stop arousing him, even if it was without his consent, would obviously lead to the lust-driving aspect of his mind overtaking his rational mind, something that was only made worse by his rightful indignation and rage he felt at that moment.

But Izuku knows that's no excuse for what he has done, but of course he knows he's not the only one to blame as there was Tsuyu who dragged him into this juncture he now finds himself in. Anyone else who have put all the blame on the frog girl as she not only tricked him, something he feels was very foolish and naive of his part for not seeing it coming from the start, but more importantly she outright tried to rape him.

Regardless of the degree of the situation, the deed was done. He and Tsuyu had sex. He placed the claiming mark onto her. Ochako was no longer the lone woman who bore the mark. Tsuyu, too, now bore it. A typical shounen would have loved the idea of adding another woman to his tribe. But not Izuku. He was a one-woman man, or at least he was trying to be. Judging by the girls who literally wanted a taste of him, the resistance was becoming undeniably futile. He feared the bereft of his loving Ochako due to his duressed admirers. Why did Izuku mark Tsuyu? He asked himself. Obviously the answer will be that it was pure out of instinct, in the heat of the moment. Just like with Ochako.

He wanted to believe that such action would be meaningless, but he wasn't fooling himself. He knows there will be repercussions for claiming another mate by bestowing Tsuyu with his mark and consuming her blood. That much is clear, for a Claiming Mark is something much deeper than just a sex act…

He sighed, drinking the now lukewarm tea that Ayeka-obasan left for him. Momentarily, he touched his neck. Becoming prominent as the day she punctured his neck. The yesteryear of Blake remained and to this day, so do the memories, the thoughts, even the feelings. How can a person who he hasn't seen in years resonated? In his dreams, he could still picture the younger Blake to a tee. Detailed from the dirt stains on her sundress to the weeds stuck in her hair. He could smell the earth as he lay on the forest floor. He could still feel the prickling of an ant on his leg, the scent of her suntan lotion, the dampness from her sweat as she was on top of him biting him. The roughness of her tongue when she licked his neck wound. The tiny paths of his blood staining her cheeks and her sundress. He could still see the disparaging smile on her face, feeling accomplished in whatever she did to further 'tease' him.

Out of those memories of the young Faunus, that particular moment stuck out the most.

It was something about that moment that has to be driving a pivotal role in his life. Next to the incident of being chased by Kacchan and his goons, the day he learned he was Quirkless, his acceptance into UA High, All Might giving him his Quirk, and among other important life-changing moments, out of everything that has happened since that fateful day between him and Blake, that moment stood out. He once overheard a conversation with Yanagi and a couple girls from 1-B about dream recurrence. Dream recurrence is a representation of the conscious mind. It can either speak of underlying desires, frustrations and stress of the past and present, the uncertainty of the unknown, or the incompleteness of a past task. He would admit that the dream recurrence of Blake had occurred more frequently after becoming a Faunus. The more he resisted or denied Blake, the more the dream occurred.

Izuku knew his body was changing. It hasn't stopped changing since his transformation. Being referred to as an 'unknown Alpha Faunus' stood out to him. It gave him an unsettling feeling, still hard to understand and to digest. According to Recovery Girl, he was the first of its kind. He didn't want to tell the elder nurse, let alone his friends and his girlfriend, he still felt apprehensive about it. Being called an unknown Alpha Faunus was beginning to feel no different than being called Quirkless. Once again, he was a big fish in a tiny pond. Those around him would acknowledge this, whether good or bad. Just like the day he was blessed with a Quirk, it was like learning how to ride a bike. There was still so much to learn about his own body. He knew that this was his body, but in a way, it wasn't his. The best way to describe himself in this situation was that he was having an 'out of body' experience or he was trans-species.

Every day, he would learn something new about himself. Admittedly, a trip to the library would have better aided him in learning more about becoming a Faunus, but he never liked to read outside of pleasure or due to an assignment. He did like to learn new facts but only to things that interested him. Being a rabbit Faunus, he was aware of the obvious: keen senses of smell, sight and hearing, which help him defend himself from danger. Thanks to 'on-the-job' learning of being a Faunus, his OFA skills have heightened greatly and his sex drive has significantly increased. What worried him was his ability to control this. He could barely contain his OFA and what he did recently to Tsuyu was proof that if he didn't get control of his body, then it would take control of him. It concerned him as he didn't take the prescribed beverage created by Recovery Girl. He remembered her telling him that his body was still mutating.

"Your mutation from the Dust has created a variant within your sweat glands, Midoriya."

"The more sweat produced, the more evolved your hormones come to others. You're a force by itself whenever you can't sate your hormones. However, with the girls, they are worse as your scent is quite distinctive."

His bouts with Villains like Overhaul, Dabi, Toga, and Gentle Criminal were menacing enough whenever he dealt with the control of his OFA. A green mist descends from his body and uncontrollably lashes out to anyone or anything in order to sate this feeling, all in the name of saving the lives of others.

"Your scent not only can travel through the air, it can also latch on to objects like bacteria, for example clothing, or even other people. In other words, anything that has any form of your scent can still be transmitted like a virus, whether it comes from you or from something like your used clothes."

Puberty was a force on its own. It was another thing that the ineptitude of controlling his sexual urges as an uncommon Alpha Faunus can be very dangerous. It was tough being a sixteen-year-old teenager - trying to save the world from Villains and saving the world from himself with his enhanced member. A living, walking contradiction, he thought to himself, but that was the truth of his Quirk mutation.

And the proof was definitely in the findings of Recovery Girl's petri dishes.

He rubbed his head, feeling a headache was being born. Having contesting feelings due to having sex with his girlfriend's best friend could make him feel that way. Also, he has been feeling a bit queasy. He concluded that it could be due to the elevation changes.

Going off this line of thought. Deku was growing concerned about what happened back there when his instincts won over. The way he acted… It wasn't like him at all… This distracted the emerald rabbit. Sure he was dominant with Ochako, but nowhere close to this extent. Just what was that attitude he had with Tsuyu? Being this much dominant and harsh with a girl…No asking for permission and not doubting… Doing as he pleased with her, as if she was his sextoy… That's not who Izuku was, that's not how he was raised and thought to treat women. One thing was being more confident and sure of himself and another whole different thing entirely was this… It was like becoming a whole different person in an instant.

"What was all of that…? Where did this come from…? Think, Izuku, think…" Izuku's mind was working a thousand miles per hour, analyzing this seeming new side of his personality. "Okay, this definitely must be part of my transformation. At this point, it's obvious that my change into a Faunus not only had effects on my body, but also on my personality. So then, was that new attitude a product of my Faunus instinct? Something to do with that fact I'm an Alpha? In nature, the alpha of a pack is always the most dominant one, the one that issues others to the others and leads the pack. Does it work similarly for Faunus?" He speculated to himself.

Admittedly he never took a deeper study on Alpha Faunus other than the overall knowledge of them. "Guess I'll have to look it up later, if not then I'll ask Recovery Girl. Still… I can't help but worry about this. I don't know how, but I need to figure out how to control my instincts or else I run the risk of hurting someone I care about, like Ochako… I'm a little scared about it, of myself…" The boy lowered his head with a worried look on his face, realizing that whatever this new side of his was might be potentially dangerous to himself and others. It was honestly something that frightened the boy.

Deciding to drop the matters for the moment, he stepped inside of his hotel suite. Gazing at the surroundings, he wondered if the dresser in his room would have medicine. If not, he would have to ask Ayeka-obasan if she had any pills or at least any Juraian home remedies.

He opened the drawers where the television was located in search of medicine. He opened each drawer to no success. He didn't notice any vending machines earlier on the way to his suite. Knowing that he would have to face the outside world, he took steady breaths. The last thing he wanted to do was to take his frustrations out on Ayeka obasan and the onsen staff.

"Quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath." Izuku said mindfully before grabbing the shoji door handle. When he slid open the door, he wasn't surprised that fate would literally rear its head to his face.

Izuku squeezed his eyes shut, remembering the singsong he told himself before opening the doors. Standing in front of him was Tsuyu. No longer naked, the frog girl was sporting the hotel-given kimono. Tsuyu cleared her throat. "Hey, Izuku!"

He let out a frustrated sigh. It was still obvious to the frog girl that he was still mad.

She held onto the hems of her kimono. "Listen, Izuku. I know I am the last person that you want to speak with, ribbit." She averted her eyes. She didn't want to look at his indifference of emotions, or lack thereof. "I also know that hearing the word, sorry, is the last thing that you want to hear as well." She was clearly vexed about the situation she put herself in. She allowed her selfishness to obtain Izuku and it was met with a hefty price. As she took glances at the emerald Faunus, his facial expressions were blank. He remained still like a statue.

"I'm not asking for your forgiveness," she said fretfully. "I even understand if you don't want to speak to me again. However, I am only asking for five minutes." She extended her hand, spreading her fingers. "That is all I ask, ribbit! Five minutes to explain myself and after that, I will go home." She lowered her gaze. "I will let Ayeka-obasan know of my leaving and if you are in trouble with Sensei, I will cover for you. It is the least I can do to make amends today." She bowed earnestly. "I promise you that is the truth. I swear on my soul, ribbit!"

Izuku's eyes wandered, trying not to look at Tsuyu's piteous face. He had every right to be mad at the vixen. She lied to him…again! She put him in this position to be in the middle of nowhere at a resort. Only God knows what was going on with Ochako and the others. Knowing Tsuyu, she did not inform Aizawa about his whereabouts, thus inciting further trouble upon his return. He licked his dry lips and rubbed his chin, knowing the debacle he was now involved in. He sighed through his nose and moved away from the doorway.

"Let's talk outside on the terrace," he said flatly. "You've got ten minutes!"

"Ten minutes is all I need, ribbit," she said as she bowed before Izuku. "Thank you!"

He extended his hands to Tsuyu to lead the way to the terrace. Before stepping outside to join the frog girl, he phoned room service for another order of tea. If there was ever a time that he was legal to drink, tonight would have been one of those nights.


It wasn't surprising to Eijiro if the neighbors were to inform the police regarding the noise. One would think that this was a nightclub and not a house party. The EDM from the 808 speakers bounced throughout the walls and rainbow-colored strobe lights shined throughout the condo. There was a great abundance of food and as much alcohol they could drink. The rock teen was excited that this was his first college party. He preferred to call it that because he was dancing with girls that were old enough to buy cigarettes. He was nervous and rightfully so because his thoughts were looming on what if one of the girls wanted to dance with him. Or wanting to go all the way. Thankfully, Tetsutetsu provided him with protection in case he were to have his first time with a college girl. He appreciated his bro for looking out for him.

The only problem was…where were the girls?

There were many boys of class 1-A and 1-B sitting bunched up in the living room together. Some were by the keg stands. Others like Nirengeki and Mashirao were at the food table. Aoyama was standing by the keg stands and assorted liquors. He wasn't a drinker but enjoyed watching the buffoonery of underaged teens unable to hold their liquor.

Taking a drink of his lemon water, he decided to break the obvious elephant in the room. "Well, mon ami. I can see the festivities are obviously present here." He smirked. "Daft Punk is bumping in the stereo, the finest delicatessen on platters from the finest caterers, and I can see you got the finest liqueurs on tap." He put a finger to his lip. "However, something is sticking out. The obvious, the quite obvious! L'éléphant dans la pièce!"

Eijiro, babysitting the same cup of beer, was standing beside him. "What do you mean?" He flatly asked as he knew where the French prince was trying to go with this.

"I see many colts present, but detecting the lack of fillies in the stable." Aoyama slurped loudly. "In conclusion, mon ami, a sausage fest in progress!"

"Do you think they are coming?" It was the tape teen that approached the duo. Hanta was hoping that he could possibly get a date with one of Camie's friends. "Not that I am caring or anything. I can get girls just like that." Hanta snapped his fingers as he nervously chuckled.

"Of course, they are coming," replied Tetsutetsu. "Have some faith!"

"Don't worry! I spoke with BakuBro earlier, Aoyama," said Eijiro. "Camie and the girls are gonna be late. They might be college kids but they still have room advisors that watch the dorms." Katsuki told him that he was going to be late as there were some unexpected changes of plans. He also told him that he wouldn't need his assistance as Yanagi's cousin was going to take care of him. It was Eijiro's job to stall his classmates before Katsuki and the girls arrived.

"You know girls like being fashionably late," replied Tetsutetsu. "We're the ones acting like virgins. I mean, who comes to a party on time anyway?"

"Yeah…right!" Aoyama rolled his eyes as he took another sip of his lemon water. He looked at Eijiro, Hanta, and Tetsutetsu. "I hope you boys got better use for your 'chewing gum.'" He chuckled as he walked away.

The rock teen blew a raspberry. "Salaud!" Eijiro scoffed loudly.

The steel teen comforted his friend. "Don't worry about AoBro! He is asexual as the word itself."

"Yet again, he may have a point." It was Nirengeki that approached the group. Holding a plate of food in one hand, he was in search of a drink. "It has been over an hour and not even a whiff of estrogen. Unless one wants to count Aoyama-san."

Hanta and the others stared blankly at Nirengenki. "Dude!" The black-haired teen said as he decided to get a cup of beer from the keg. "You actually gonna listen to Aoyama?"

"He speaks French idioms and he isn't even French," retorted the steel teen. "Probably never even visited France."

"Plus, he rides the French's dick like a rodeo show," retorted Juzo as he approached the group. "I don't even think he is a real blond."

"Bite me, gros bébés!" Aoyama said from afar.

"Regardless of his identity, he is right about the abundance of weiner here," said Nirengeki. "Look around, dude!"

Eijiro sighed. "Just have a little faith in BakuBro, bros. He might be a bit of an asshole-"

*Everyone stares at him flatly.*

"Okay, okay! He's a huge asshole, but my bro is a man of his word," replied Eijiro as he nervously laughed.

"Ok, now I need a drink." Juzo grabbed a cup to get some beer.

"Just saying," replied Nirgeneki. "It takes more than music, food, and booze to throw a party." He took a sip of his beer. "It takes guests with breasts…and mine don't count!"

"About time! Kudos for owning up that you have man-tits, dude." Tsubara smirked at him.

The obese boy just sighed in response. "I left it too easy for you, you little punk." A few of the others snickered at him, but he simply rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Say. You guys know why we didn't invite the girls from our classroom. But what about you? Think any of the girls from your class might be a party pooper?" Hanta asked the Class B teens out of curiosity. It was no secret that the girls from Class A are going through… some things at the moment, however it was a little surprising that not even Setsuna, the jokester of Class B, didn't turn up. If anyone would have taken a girl in the Hero Course for a party girl it has to be Setsuna, with Mina being a possibly close second.

"Now that you mentioned, bro, that's a good question." Eijiro agreed with him.

"Well… where do I begin?" Tetsutetsu rubbed the back of his neck "Kendo is our Class President, so no dice with her. Kodai is too prim and proper for this kind of party. Yanagi doesn't do well in loud places and is too inward anyways. Tsunotori is too naive and innocent, so she wouldn't like the vibe of a party like this. With Komori, we were actually a little scared that she might spike our drinks with her mushrooms. Don't let the cutesy look fool you, bros, she sometimes likes to mess with our food for fun. Heck! It's because of her Nirengeki refuses to eat mushrooms period!'' The steel teen pointed at said large teen, who nodded in confirmation.

"I've seen things, guys… And they weren't pretty." Nirengeki said with a pale look on his face before shivering slightly. "I was so hiiigh!"

"Dang, was Tokage a terrible influence on her." Juzo pinched his temple. It was because of the Lizard girl that the Mushroom girl got into making pranks that involved putting her mushrooms on the food of their classmates with the added effects such as extra spice or their favorite hallucigen effect, which are only funny when done to Monoma.

"Speaking of Tokage, you'd think that at least she would be game from this type of party, which I would say yes, but the problem is two things: 1) No college boys and which leads to 2) She might scare the shit out of the the girls that are supposed to be here. Not everyone is used to finding her head inside their desk, you know?" Tetsutetsu resumed. If there wasn't anything to keep Tokage's attention, she would get bored and when she gets bored it's when she fools around. "And do I really need to explain about Shiozaki?" Tetsutetsu concluded as he crossed his arms. His classmates nodded in agreement. It was pretty obvious that the Vine girl would be the obvious no-fun party pooper of their class.

"I wouldn't even consider Ave Maria! The virgin Mary," replied Hanta with a scoff.

"Didn't pray it no thought," said Tsubara.

"Sheez, bro…" Eijiro replied, scratching the back of his hair. "I guess you guys made the right call." He said and his classmates nodded in agreement. Some of them were surprised by how devious Komori can actually be, but then again she and Tokage seem pretty close to it makes sense.

"And besides," interjected Hanta. "We need something round and robust, not flat and a bust." He crossed his arms. "No kiddies, teenie-weenies, anyone from the itty bitty titty committee. Basically, no chicks from our classes, period."

"Like the Americans say, a stag party?" questioned Juzo.

Yuga rejoined the congregation. "And the way this is going, it's gonna be close to a f-"

The group was interrupted when he heard Eijiro's cell phone ring. The redhead smiled. "Like a bolt from the blue." He immediately answered.

"Hey, BakuBro! What's up?!"

"You're here? Sweet! But, where are the girls?"

"You have something better for the time being?"

"Why do you want me to come to the door? Don't you have a key?"

"Oh, yeah! My fault! You didn't have to call me a dumbass for that. An honest mistake."

"Here I come, bye!"

The rock teen hung up the phone. Without saying a word, he rushed to the front door. As he unlocked the door, he was welcomed with the cheeky grin on Katsuki's face.

"Ho! Ho! Ho! The Baku Claus is here." The red-eyed teen appeared flushed, as if he had run a marathon. Eijiro looked behind the teen and saw two large covered cages standing beside him.

"Don't ask! Don't bother! Your shitty brain wouldn't fathom what I had to do to bring these here," said the spiky-haired blond. He looked behind Eijiro. "I hope you guys weren't getting too desperate before resorting to going native." He produced a smirk. "I know Nirengeki got tits like Momo and Yuga might as well be a chick, but-"

"Never mind that," interjected Eijiro. The teen was growing impatient. It was exciting that there were girls coming, but at the same time, it was a school night and they needed to be back at an appropriate time before Aizawa found out. "Camie? The girls?"

Katsuki lightly slapped Eijiro's shoulder. "I'm a man of my word. Camie baby is on the way. She needed to sneak out as well. The girls were mostly waiting for her. Her school is a bit more strict than ours."

"I see," said Eijiro in understanding.

"However, I have something better. Look at it as an appetizer for your viewing pleasure," said Katsuki excitedly. "But, first…" He reached over Eijiro and closed the door. "This is for your eyes only right here."

The rock teen arched his eyebrow before shrugging and nodding in understanding.

"Take a look at whichever cage suits you. Cage number one or cage number two," said Katsuki gesturing at the cages with a shit-eating grin.

Eijiro examined the cages. Covered with a red veil. It was certainly large enough to carry a person. He assumed that there were steel cages for a stripper show. That moment alone aroused his curiosity - literally and metaphorically. He stuck out his tongue. "I say, cage number two."

"Nice choice. So there won't be any confusion from the sausage fest earlier, Balu Claus here has provided some heteroerotic entertainment! " Katsuki approached the cage and quickly removed the veil. Upon removing it exposed what was under the cage. Eijiro immediately covered his mouth when he recognized the person in the cage.

"Kayama-sensei?!" Eijiro was in shock. What and why would their History teacher be here? The teacher's mouth had a ball-and-gag and she was naked. She was tied and bound on her hands and feet. Drool flowed from her mouth, creating a stream, soaking the skin from her breasts to her vagina. She was moaning and groaning, eyes looking surprised to see one of her fellow students.

"Since you have chosen cage number two, here's cage number one." Katsuki removed the veil and showed the person behind the cage. Eijiro's eyes were wide as saucers. "Takeyama-senpai? Mount Lady?!"

Mount Lady was lying on her back. Unlike Sensei who was covered with a bag-and-gag, her mouth was muffled with a rag or a towel. Similar to Sensei, she, too, was bound and naked. However, the difference was the sound of a rotary coming from her special place.

"My friend, the main attraction for the night. Les Putes Fatales!" Katsuki displayed his usual cynical smirk. The rock teen was lost for words. The only thing he was witnessing was a felony and the fact he was there, he now counted as an accessory.

Eijiro turned to Katsuki. "Dude?! What in the fucking hell?"

"Shush," replied Katsuki. "This may be a private condo and we have private quarters, I don't need others to know."

"Are you asking to be expelled? Arrested? Killed!?" The redhead grabbed his best friend's shoulders and shook him hysterically.

The explosive blond pushed him. "Calm the fuck off, Kirishima! It'll be okay, so relax!" He said with an annoyed face before changing his expression and wagging his finger conceitedly. "None of those things are gonna happen." Katsuki rattled the cage. "Isn't that right, my dear R-Rated temptress?" He was using a voice in which a parent plays with an infant. "Isn't that right? Oh, no you won't! Unless we need to go to the League of Heroes to get something else stripped, dignity aside."

"Screw you, you stupid brat!" The Pro Hero teacher muffled, through her ball-and-gag at Katsuki. "You're not gonna get away with this!"

"Dude!" Eijiro's mouth was agape. "We're gonna get arrested. We're going to jail! Fuck! We're gonna get murdered!" He said with a panicked expression

"You didn't do anything, so relax! I got it under control!" Katsuki replied assuringly.

"I'm an accessory! They saw my face!" The rock teen was panic-stricken. "We're so fucking screwed, bro! We're going to jail if they let us live!" He clutched his cheeks. "Tell my mother I love her. P.O.P., hold it down!"

The spiky-haired blond gripped Eijiro's shoulder, trying to calm him down. The last he wanted was trouble. In Katsuki's defense, he wasn't, for a change, responsible in the matter. "Before you pass judgment, I didn't do anything to these girls. They were already found like that!"

Eijiro crouched to his knees. "Bro, I know you can do some crazy shit. Things I've overlooked. Things I could excuse or easily ignore, but this isn't one of them." He pointed at the women. "You are saying that you aren't responsible for this?"

"You know, dude. It hurts a little that you say something like that." Katsuki crossed his arms with an upset frown. "You know me, man! You know I wouldn't pull some fucked up shit to risk my own future as a Pro or the others."

"That's what I thought until this!" Eijiro retorted, exasperated, pointing at the caged women again. Was Katsuki an asshole? Yes. Is he aggressive, foul-mouthed and shouts a lot? Yes. Did he bully Midoriya a lot and even told him to make a swan dive off the roof of their old school? Also yes! But Eijiro knew that Katsuki wasn't a completely bad person and he knows he is now better from how he used to be from the start of their school year, he was still an asshole, but one with a nobler side, AKA, a total tsundere. But it's one thing to constantly shout: DIE! and another doing a freaking kidnapping of two prominent Pro Heroines!

The explosive blond grumbled as he rubbed his temple. "Look, I'm serious, dude. I was going to Yanagi's cousin's warehouse and I stumbled upon them like this. I called him and he said they were there for quite a while." He explained to his friend what happened with a serious expression.

Eijiro took a deep breath to calm down as much as he could. "Okay, let's say that's true." Obviously he knew that his friend wasn't lying, but still needed to know the full details of just what he got dragged into. "So you're saying that Yanagi's cousin did this?" He asked him, pointing to the caged women.

Katsuki blew a raspberry. "Hell no! He said he just simply allowed someone else to use his warehouse to put them there along with the cages. When I asked who it was, all he said was that he was doing 'a favor for the sake of justice' or whatever that shit meant." He replied with an uncaring shrug. "He wasn't going to say more and I honestly didn't give a fuck. But if you ask me, I'd say that maybe they crossed the wrong people." He added. "We both know that it wouldn't be unlikely for these two to get into some shit like this." He pointed at the caged women with his thumb.

"Well… You wouldn't be wrong with that idea." Eijiro scratched the back of his head. "That's all nice and dandy. But that doesn't explain why the heck did you bring them here!" He said with an upset frown.

"Heh! A better question would be, why the fuck not?" Katsuki smirked at him. "I wasn't the one that put them in those cages."

"Yeah, but you still brought them here!"

"To my family's private property, where we can do whatever the fuck we want if it doesn't break the law. And technically we're not doing anything wrong here! If anything, I got them out of the warehouse so in a sense, I helped them out!" Katsuki replied assuringly.

"I'm pretty sure bringing two caged, naked women here against their will is illegal dude!" Eijiro retorted angrily.

Katsuki crackled. "Who said something about bringing them against their will?" This statement confused the hardening teen. "I made a deal with them and they accepted, reluctantly, but hey! Consent is consent!"

"A… deal?" Eijiro titled his head.

"Yep. I said I would let them go and not divulge anything about the huge shaming mess I found them in if they would help us 'living things up' in our little party over here." Katsuki explained himself. Which only confused his friend even further. "If you're worried about this blowing up in our faces, I have several safety measures in place." He added, knowing what his friend was thinking. "For example, if they tried to get back at us, I have leverage to make sure they don't. Like that video of me being punished yesterday." He concluded with a clear sour look on his face.

"Oh dang! That's right!" Eijiro joined the dots and realized where this was going. "If that video leaks out into the public, then U.A. will be in a huge scandal!"

"And their Pro Hero careers would be so fucking done." Katsuki elaborated with a knowing grin, pointing at the caged women, who looked at him incandescently.

"Not to mention Aizawa-sensei's as well." Eijiro pointed out.

"Exactly, my hard-headed friend!" Katsuki grinned at him. "One call to my parents and that video will be in all media outlets. They know people that know other people, after all. And that's why these two btiches will keep their pie holes shut tight, isn't that right?" He glanced at the caged women with haunting glee.

Midnight and Mount Lady growled angrily at him through their gags.

"Hey, not that I'm complaining, but how come they hadn't burst out of these cages on their own? They are pros after all, at the very least Mount Lady would have broken free." The redheaded boy asked. Surprised that such Pro Heroines like them would be bound like this for who knows how long without at least visible signs of struggle or attempt of breaking free.

"Easy. See those collars they have?" Katsuki pointed out the collars the women have. "Those activate an electrified fence on the cages, so they won't be going anywhere unless we let them. Yanagi's courtesy!" Katsuki explained assuringly.

"Okay, I see." Eijiro replied, understandably. "But, since Midnight-sensei is… well, naked, how come she hasn't used her Quirk to put us into a coma yet?" He asked. Pointing out that Midnight could have used her Quirk and knocked them out and from there tried to break free, it wouldn't be the first time she did something like that to get out of similar predicaments.

"And that's why Yanagi was kind enough to come into the warehouse to 'prepare' these ladies over here and also put an 'extra safety measure' in case the cages wouldn't be enough." The explosive blond explained, still sounding confident.

Eijiro's eyes widened in realization. "Holy shit…! Quirk-nulling drugs?!"

"Hey, don't look at me! It was Yanagi's idea, not mine. My hands are clean!" Katsuki raised his hands defensively.

"Where did he even get that shit? Those drugs are extremely illegal!"

"Florida?! Chicago?! Hell, I dunno, and I didn't want to find out." Katsuki knew that Yanagi's cousin was known to have some shady connections on top of his legitimate business. A 'don't ask, don't tell' type of business was his game.

"Anyway, the drugs' effects will last for a full day, so we won't have to worry." said Katsuki unconcernedly.

Eijiro's eyes displayed uncertainty and apprehension. "I'm not sure this is a good idea, bro."

"Hey, relax. I got this, Kirishima. It's the perfect plan!" The explosive teen patted his friend's back reassuringly. "When I have screwed something up?"

Eijiro opened his mouth to reply, but Katsuki immediately interrupted him.

"You know what? Never mind! Just trust me that this will work, okay?" He said with a serious expression. The hardening teen glanced down with clear doubts in his expression. "Look, in the unlikely chance something does go wrong, I have an emergency backup plan to make all of this… Go away as if nothing happened." He said, snapping his fingers, to ease his friend into his admittedly crazy plan.

"Oh yeah? How?"

"I know someone."

"Who?"

"Details for later! Just leave it all to me, capiche?" Katsuki jabbed his finger on Eijiro's chest. "You know I would never pull a crazy stunt without planning out from all angles to make sure to not risk my ass."

The hardening teen crossed his arms, still looking unsure about this. "I dunno, man…"

"Look! Think of this once in a lifetime chance as karmic justice, our reward from Jesus Christ for all the bullshit we all have put through yesterday!" Katsuki said persuasively. "We've earned this, Kirishima. So stop being a fucking pansy and enjoy what we rightfully deserve!" He surrounded his friend with his right arm and jabbed his chest again with his finger. "Now c'mon and help me get these two whores in." He let him go, opened the door of the condo and walked towards the cages.

"Bitches? Whores? What's the matter with you, BakuBro?!" Eijiro groaned in defeat, putting his hands on his face. "We're so screwed…"

"We're not, it's gonna be just fine."

"I'm going to hell…" Eijiro walked after his friend. "Does Yanagi's cousin know a priest?!"

"You won't."

"I'm so going to hell! The Lamb's Book of Life you won't find me in."

"Nope, that won't happen and if it does I'll be there to pick you up and drag your ass back out. I look after my people."

Eijiro went to Midnight's cage and Katsuki to Mount Lady's. "Nice and easy, you two. Keep your end of the deal and we can all pretend that none of this bullshit ever happened, okay?" The explosive teen said with a teasing tone to the binded women, who still glared at him indignantly. "Like Rhianna says, we gotta work, work, work, work!"

"Just to let you, I'm so sorry about this, Midnight-sensei, Mount Lady-senpai!" Eijiro apologized to them as the boys pushed the cages towards the condo.

"Quit being a bitch and push the damn cages, cage pusher!" Katsuki rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Or else, there will be three cage dancers tonight!" "Where was all that 'manly man' bullshit he never shuts up about?"

"Alright, fine, man!" Eijiro answered. "Jackass!"

"Now then, time to get this shit started with a fucking bang!" Katsuki announced excitedly as he and Eijiro brought in the Pro Heroines, who resigned themselves to being subjected to this utter humiliation.

"Can you imagine what the guys are gonna say about this?" asked Eijiro concerningly.

"What would they say?" replied Katsuki. "These are drunk teens in search of a nut. I'm highly doubting that they would think this is their Kayama-sensei and Senpai. You've been reading those pulp fiction magazines a little too much."

"This is absolutely fubar!" It was no use further questioning Katsuki. No matter the concern, he would always have a rebuttal. Eijiro said a silent prayer as he pushed the cage further inside. He didn't know who to feel sorry for - himself, Katsuki, or the women who were positioned in this predicament.


Izuku asked Ayeka-obasan if there was a more secluded area to have their alone time. The purple-haired hostess told him about a trail nearby that led to a garden shed. It was a refurbished shed that she, her sister, and her lord worked on to give the place more love since their estate was now opened to the public. Izuku appreciated her suggestion and that was where he and Tsuyu were going to have their talk.

The walk there was filled with silence with the exception of hearing each other's breath, crunchy sounds from gravel and crumpled leaves. Nightfall arrived and thus the fall of temperatures. Izuku was grateful to bring a sweatshirt. Hearing the voice of his mother in his mind, he needed to be aware of cool temperatures in the mountainous region…and of course to always bring fresh, spare underwear.

On the surface, things appeared copacetic. However, it was safe to say that there was tension in the air to say the least.

"The shed should be upon this hill." Izuku said, unsure if it was to himself or to Tsuyu. Since their brief interaction earlier in the room, there wasn't much spoken. There wasn't anything rehearsed for a rebuttal. As time carried on, he was growing more disappointed in her rather than being upset. It was a violation of his trust. She was a past member of the Dekusquad. This was a woman who supposedly had his back at his greatest time of need. He was baffled, surprised, and overall in a state of shock. What was going to happen if these girls didn't quell their tendencies after him? Villains weren't going to care if there was a lover's quarrel. Quarrels weren't going to stop them from attacking and annihilating them.

He whispered a prayer that Recovery Girl and her colleagues discover an antidote immediately.

After a few more steps, the shed came into view.

The shed was a typical shed, nothing ordinary from any other shed. He could tell that the shed was recently painted. The smell of soil indicated that Ayeka or someone else tended to the earth. For this night, this shed was the meeting spot where he and Tsuyu could talk.

Whatever the conclusion may be, he didn't want any prying eyes or ears picking up whatever he and Tsuyu discussed.

Izuku pulled open the door, allowing Tsuyu to enter inside first. As Tsuyu stepped inside, instinctively, she looked for the lightswitch. Fiddling with the walls, she managed to find it.

The inside of the shed wasn't as plain as they thought. It wasn't lackluster in color or style. What stood out was that it wasn't a conventional shed. In the center of the shed was a firepit. Looking up to the ceiling, Tsuyu and Izuku saw vents. Gardening tools were present as well as farming tools. He did recall Ayeka-obasan telling him that she and her lord grew sweet potatoes.

Without saying a word, Tsuyu took a seat at the nearby bench. Izuku remained standing.

Tsuyu kept her eyes on the ground. She couldn't look at the soft doe eyes. Those were the eyes that she loved and coveted, the very ones that were filled with despair, anger, and disappointment. It was true that she didn't regret the actions she caused, but she didn't like seeing her crush hurt.

She watched Izuku turn around. She saw how his tail was shaking and his ears were twitching. It must have meant that he was detecting something.

He began sniffing, following the unknown scent as he stepped outside the shed. Tsuyu remained still, telling herself to allow Izuku his time. After all, she was given ten minutes and she didn't want those minutes wasted over anything.

A few minutes passed before the emerald-haired Faunus returned. In his hands were bundles of sticks and sweet potatoes. "Tsuyu?"

The frog vixen returned to reality when hearing her name called. "Yes?"

"I know you know how to start a fire, can't you," answered Izuku. "Been doing a great job thus far, haven't ya?! On second thought, let me do it. Don't need ya to destroy something else who didn't ask for it!"

She deserved that, feeling an arrow striking her chest. She stood up and dusted herself off. "It shouldn't be hard." She looked over to see a desk, hopefully kerosene or lighter fluid were under it.

Izuku opened up the fire pit and carefully nested the sticks. "Normally my mom would use foil." He shrugged his shoulders. "It's okay! Won't be the first time having something burnt!"

"Damn, ribbit!" Izuku was on a roll with the quips, and must have gotten them from being an avid fan of Spider-man. Nevertheless, she remained silent. She walked over to the desk and searched for any accelerant.

The firepit didn't have a grill so he knew that he needed to find a way to position the sweet potatoes without burning them. Sticking out his tongue, he maneuvered the branches so he could position the sweet potatoes without struggle. Scratching under his arms, he stuck a stick in each potato. Tsuyu managed to find a book of matches in the desk drawer. Handing them to Izuku, he crouched to the firepit. Lighting a match, he placed it in the center. He blew into the center, wanting to spread the fire. Just for extra measure, he lit another match. In a few moments, the crackling of fire was heard.

"Eating off the land wouldn't hurt us," he said to Tsuyu. "How else would our forefathers survive when leaving Polynesia over 20,000 years ago?"

She was a bit confused. She felt she was in a minefield. She didn't know how to answer that.

The Faunus found a comfortable place to sit. He crossed his legs and watched as the fire grew. "Might as well take a seat. The fire is gonna take a bit before the potatoes can roast." He rubbed his hands together, trying his best to gather warmth. "Once we eat, then you can have your ten minutes."

She returned back to her spot, which was across the way from Izuku. In a different light, this would have been romantic. A night out in the cold with her man, enjoying a nice fire, and eating off the land. She knew the boy was an awesome wonder, especially under these circumstances.

The two of them remained in silence, nothing but the sound of crackling fire cut through the tense quietness. The wait felt unbearably eternal for Tsuyu, taking quick glances at Izuku, who only sat there with his eyes closed as if meditiing about something. Maybe about how angry and disappointed he is with her or how much in trouble he must be because of her and looking for a way to fix them, it was hard to tell.

Tsuyu knew Izuku well enough to know that he was going against his nature by being mean to her, but it's clear that he had to for she warrant it and thus why he was being mean with her, even he must know when to do so despite his constant kindheartedness towards others. Perhaps his way of giving a bit of tough love. Even though he was acting this way towards her, he couldn't avoid being kind as he had offered her some food for the two of them and let her explain herself, something no one else in his position would have done. That's who Izuku is and that's one of the biggest reasons why Tsuyu loves him, just like the other girls from their class.

"It isn't a carrot, but it will do," said Izuku as he nibbled on the vegetable. Only thing it needed was some honey butter and a bag of carrots. The teen was really missing carrots. He should have packed him some before heading off to the onsen. Man, ever since becoming a Faunus, he's pretty much a carrot junkie. He understood how Eri was nearly obsessed with her fondness for apples.

On the other hand, Tsuyu took small bites. Hunger was the least of her concern as uncertainty filled the void. She held the sweet potato with both hands. Her eyes were drawn to the starchy food. She could picture it with emerald hair and his charming eyes. Something sweeter than this potato was sitting across from her. Urges filled her body as she was lusting for him. The feelings came and went like tides of the ocean. She tried her best to resist the temptation of overtaking him. She knew it would be reciprocated, him having the upper hand. A beast lurked in search of Izuku's inner beast. And since the incident at Municipal Beach Park Dagoba, the urges were getting stronger. She bit hard into the potato, chewing and munching, wishing that it was the taste of her sweet, sweet cinnamon roll.

As the fire crackled and the smacking of mouths continued, she knew it was now or never to address herself concerning this current fiasco. Placing her food to the side, she focused her attention on the emerald Faunus himself.

Izuku had finished off his sweet potato and wiped the remains with his sleeve before setting his gaze upon Tsuyu, his emerald eyes glazing at her big round onyx eyes blankly.

"Umm…I think I know how I want to use my ten minutes, ribbit!" It felt odd to her to speak in an unconventional way. As if this was an interview, a case to disprove him. She took a breath, calming herself as she felt that her heart wanted to leap out of her chest, never in her life was the frog girl as nervous as she was now, which was crazy it on itself as Tsuyu was known to keep total calm even in the worst of situations, but now she is visibly nervous and anxious. Only Izuku could put her in a state like this. She was a believer in the saying, 'the heart wants what the heart wants.' Staring into his doe eyes, into the windows of his soul. Eyes that she didn't want to forget, that she didn't even want to share. Envy clotted her veins as she knew that he was Ochako's man. Envious as she knew Blake, whoever this seemingly Faunus girl was, got to his heart first before the Gravity girl, she was totally certain of it.

Be that as it may, it was now or never.

Tsuyu took one more deep breath and opened her mouth to speak. "Look, Izuku… I know that a plain 'sorry' won't be enough of an apology over what happened back there and that it's not even the very least…" She began, her eyes drifting away from Izuku's briefly before meeting his calm and stern gaze again. "I know that what I did was wrong, certainly unlike me to be so… Well, no point in sugar coating, right? I was a bitch, ribbit. To both you, Ochako-chan. I hurt my best friend's feelings and terribly backstabbed her and put you in such a very bad position, not even two days after we crashed your first date, ribbit." She said with clear shame and guilt in her eyes.

Izuku, however, only stared blankly at Tsuyu. Remaining unmoving, not even blinking.

"I lied, okay! There! It was wrong, painfully wrong to lie to you. I could tell when you and I were back at the dorms, you had your guard up. Who could blame you?" She nervously rubbed her shoulder. "Anyone would have their guard up after that charade at the beach, ribbit! Nevertheless, in your heart, you have given me the benefit of the doubt. I can tell that you didn't want to trust me, but you have such an incredible forgiving spirit that you overrode your judgment."

She stared at the burning embers of the branches in the fire pit. "Izuku, do you often think that sometimes we lie for the sake of the greater good? Yeah, it was wrong! Yes, I have deceived you and violated your trust, ribbit. I am sorry for what I did to you, lying." She rubbed her arm once again. "However, I can't apologize for what led to this." She stood up, feeling pyrrhic and stoic as she eyed the very boy she desired. "What I've said to you, my feelings that night at the beach were true. Yes, they were over-the-top, out of character, overzealous, and downright creepy. It was out of line, out of range, but something I just can't let go." She began to pace around her general area, Izuku's eyes following her, but not showing emotion. It was ironic how the roles were reversed in a sense at this moment. "Since you have become a Faunus, a door has opened. Have you noticed it? There is no sense of denying it, Izuku. You have changed, I have changed, the girls have changed. There is something about you that made us this way, ribbit! I am not sure whether these feelings were there before or after your transformation. Maybe these feelings were repressed and seeing you becoming a rabbit they activated, if not opened Pandora's Box.

"There is no denying that I have feelings for you, Izuku Midoriya. You have pulled my heartstrings. I have a thing for you and no, I won't let go. I always wondered why I suddenly feel this way about you, but honestly, I don't care! I don't care how or why or since when I feel this way about you, I just do and it feels natural, it feels right so I won't ever change my mind on it. I don't want to do anything to break your heart…." She paused, gripping her chest. "Just knowing that girls like Ochako having you or…or…or…" She wanted to name Blake, but became hesitant. What if he didn't want her to know about her existence? Things were already bad enough as they are, the last thing she needed was to have Izuku further outraged at her for eavesdropping in what was clearly an intimate moment of vulnerability. For a reason he never mentioned even the name Blake, if how clearly heartbroken he seemed is anything to go by.

Izuku cocked an eyebrow in confusion noticeably, but refrain from speaking and let Tsuyu go on with her rant of an explanation. But it did strike him as strange that the frog girl suddenly seemed hesitant in continuing speaking. Yes, he was aware from the get-go that Tsuyu and any other girl under the effect of his pheromones would be seething with envy and jealousy at Ochako, but who else was she about to mention? The other girls? Most likely, as the effects of the pheromones in the frog girl must have greatly decreased now that he 'took care of her needs' and thus clarity must be dawning upon her now.

"You must think I am insane, batshit crazy for expressing myself like this," she continued vehemently. "Here I am, the calmest of the girls, the one to rely and to depend on. Only to fall on the cusp of this crazy thing whatever these people call love." She pointed at her chest. "I am! I am crazy for loving this wonderful boy who sits in front of me. I am! I am insane! Knowing I had subterfuge you." She dropped her head. "I am sorry! Sorry for being a fool. A fool for loving you. But I am!" She puffed her cheeks, turning beet red in the process. "I am in love with you, Izuku Midoriya!"

Tsuyu's throat was feeling dry and her stomach felt sore. It took a lot of guts to extinguish what was burning in the deepest pits of her soul. Aside from the crackling fire, a pregnant silence resumed.

The frog girl returned to her post, staring at the embers that were drifting away from the fire pit. A draft from the vent caused the flames to lick the sides of the pit. For a moment, she felt like one of those embers, wanting to float away. Izuku remained motionless, looking skyward into the night. What was he thinking? Was he preparing a rebuttal? Digesting what she had told him? Although straightforward and honest, she still felt like a spaz. Confessing to him felt no different than confessing behind the school under a sakura tree or inserting a letter into his cubby. It seemed like the easier part was confessing and the hardest part was the response. Be that as it may, she didn't have any choice but to take whatever may come.

"That was seven minutes."

The frog girl's onyx eyes darted in his direction. In his hand, he was holding his cell phone.

"I'd told you that you had ten minutes to explain yourself." He looked at his cell phone. "And that was approximately six minutes and fifty-seven seconds."

She nervously chuckled, unable to look at him directly. "You only gave me a limited time. Never a truer moment than the present, ribbit."

"I see." Izuku scanned his nails. "That's all well and good that you are sincere with me in a non-violent or maniacal way, I certainly appreciate that.'' He glanced back at her flatly. Tsuyu shrank from that comment, her eyes unable to meet his own. It was hard to tell if his words were blunt honesty or dry sarcasm, maybe both. "But I think you forgot very important part about how you tried to knock me down and then sexually abuse me while unconsious."

Tsuyu flinched, the words from Izuku's mouth felt like icy arrows through her chest.

She gripped her temple with both hands. "It…it…it…"

"Save it, Tsuyu, for I am really tired of excuses," interjected Izuku. "Let me guess: 'A sudden impulse?' 'It was an accident.' 'I couldn't help it because I was love-drunk?'" He blew a raspberry. "I am not certain if there is any sincerity with you. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Surprised you haven't gotten on your knees to beg for my forgiveness. Then and there I would have been a little convinced."

She wasn't sure how much more she could take. She wanted to roll into a ball, turn into a cocoon, and never come out.

"Did you expect that I was going to accept your apology, accept your declaration? Just like that?" he replied sharply. "Am I just that predictable to you all? Do I have 'gullible' written on my face? Do you think I was born yesterday? If anything I have learned from this experience is that the only person you are looking out for is yourself." He stood up and turned his back from Tsuyu. "Tsuyu, I sensed you when you were in the bathroom at the dorms. At the time, I didn't realize it was you until I smelled you again in the onsen. In my gut, I had this feeling to decline your invitation. But, I allowed myself and against my better judgment to give you the benefit of the doubt." He turned around and faced Tsuyu with a stern look. "Do you care to know why I gave you such a benefit?"

She was afraid to answer. She shivered as she felt his disdain going up and down his spine. "Why?" she said forcefully.

"Because we're friends, that's why," replied Izuku. "And friends shouldn't have to worry if they were being sabotaged or betrayed." He shut his eyes. "We're supposed to be friends, Tsu. I should be able to trust you with my life. Not because you were part of the Dekusquad, but because I have really believed you had my best interest and not for selfish gains."

Hearing those penetrable words caused tears to shed from her eyes.

"Ochako is worried sick. You wouldn't know as you and the others were plotting against her. I won't lie but I don't entirely know what has been going on with you all but if it is making her nauseous, then that bothers me." He stamped his foot. "That is my woman! My girlfriend!" He pointed at her. "That is your best friend. Best friends look out for each other. Best friends are supposed to care. What happened to the code of sisterhood? And no, don't you dare blame me for becoming a Faunus. Anyone is prone to do crazy things but self-control and knowing what is right makes a difference."

She sniffled, wiping her weeping eyes with her arm. "Sorry," she said as she let out a sob.

"I am more so disappointed in you. You planned to subdue me, take advantage of me, and claim me, whether I wanted it or not," he said. "You didn't care what Ochako thought. You didn't think of the consequences. As long as you got a taste of me, then you were satisfied. As a matter of fact, what is to stop me to tell you that we are through as friends and partners. What is to stop me from telling Aizawa-sensei what's going on with you all."

She covered her eyes as the tears continued to fall. She didn't want to hear this. She didn't picture this moment and she would never imagine how a special friendship such as this would end.

"I can never hate you. Hate isn't in my heart. My mother taught me better than that. Never allow a person to occupy your brain like that," said Izuku. "However, I should and have the right to not deal with you anymore. I don't need you, Tsuyu Asui!"

I don't need you, Tsuyu Asui!

Hearing those words was the straw that broke the camel's back. She dropped to her knees. No longer could she hold those sobs. A thunderous cry croaked from her mouth. She lifted her head as the sound penetrated the shed.

Izuku had to do it. He knew it was wrong. He knew that Tsuyu wasn't fully responsible for her actions due to being so addled by the pheromones. He knew he was being very harsh on her. But it had to be done. If he would have let this slide, he wasn't sure how far she would go to restrain him again. He couldn't forget the hungry eyes of his admirers at the beach. It remained worrisome as Tsuyu wasn't the only one. Girls like Momo, Mina, Tooru, Kyouka, and the like had a multitude of personalities. If Tsuyu, the most calm and collected of the girls of Class 1-A, was this creative in obtaining him, only God knows what the others were plotting. All of this experience served to make sure he doesn't forget what happens when a girl is very affected by his pheromones, regardless of who they are or how many they are. With enough time, a susceptible female will lose all inhibitions and basically go berserk. Izuku must never forget this.

Izuku allowed her a few more minutes. Once he felt her cries subsided, he decided to intervene. "Here." Izuku took off his shirt and handed it to Tsuyu. "Use this to dry your tears." He was fortunate to be wearing an undershirt. He knew the mountains had cooler evenings. Tsuyu used his shirts to wipe the tears and snot from her face.

"Sorry, Tsuyu," he said in a softer voice. "The truth never feels good but never a truer time like the present." He watched her clean the rest of her face. He then walked over and kneeled beside her. He took his hand and rubbed her back. This is so wrong of me. I feel like a real jackass for treating her like this. Despite how she treated me, this goes against every fiber of my being.

Deku regained his composure. He allowed her a few additional moments to calm herself down.

"Tsu, I am sorry, but trust is very important to me. Trust is the key ingredient of loyalty. If there is no trust, then what's the point?" As a child, his father told him the important qualities of friendship: know who they are and what reasons they are there for. Unfortunately, he was like his mother, giving everyone the benefit of the doubt. If he would have listened to his father, then maybe the relationship between him and Kacchan would have been way different than it is now.

He continued to rub her back. He pondered on his next set of words.

Izuku was tempted to simply walk out and leave Tsuyu alone to reflect on his words and her misdeeds, but he couldn't bring himself to do so, just like he couldn't bring himself to hate her. It was strange, honestly, how he feels both anger and disappointment at her and yet after venting out his frustrations, it's like he can't get as angry at her as much he should have.

"You're right, Izuku." Tsuyu wiped the remnants of her tears with his shirt. "You were right…about everything." She sniffled quietly. "I've been a terrible friend. It was wrong of me to do you and Ochako like that. Hearing those words, they hurt, Deku, ribbit! Never once did I think of your feelings. You're right! I was selfish, arrogant, and defiant! A mega-asshole! I treated my best friend like trash. I tried to make you want me. I made you cheat on me. What kind of friend would do that?"

"A crummy one, if you ask me," replied Izuku. Internally, this was eating him inside as it went against his usual behavior. "I digress! I have to apologize to you as well. No matter how truthful it was, it still doesn't make it necessary." He bit his lip. "My mom would kill me if she knew I made a girl cry."

"You were being honest. You didn't mean anything by it."

"It doesn't matter. It still doesn't make it right to be an asshole to you. A gentleman's reason to make a girl cry if he proposes or surprises her. Yet again, my mom reads a lot of romance novels and Cosmopolitan." He let out a slight chuckle. Was he being a little too quick in backtracking his attitude with Tsuyu? Maybe, but for him to be this cold and mean to a girl was like asking him to throw away all of his All Might stuff, burn all of his Quirk notebooks and abandon Katsudon. One can't really expect him to remain like this for too long. He is just that much of a very kind and forgiving soul.

"At least you haven't met my dad, ribbit," replied Tsuyu. "God knows what would happen if he saw what you were doing to his little girl."

Deku laughed and then grimaced. The thought of Tsuyu's father chasing him down a lone road with a shotgun came to mind. "Lord forbid if her father finds out."

Tsuyu could only imagine what was occurring in Izuku's mind as she watched the emerald bunny rabbit mumble. She covered her mouth to save face, more so for herself than to his cute attempts to be tough. They were hurtful words, but nevertheless, came from a good place.

"Let's call it a truce," said Izuku. "I said some things, you did some things, but we're cool!"

Hearing those words created a smile on the vixen's face. "I like that, ribbit!"

"However," interjected Izuku sternly. "You're not going to sneak up on me again. You won't ever put me in this kind of position again. And if I am in need of a woman to fill a girlfriend spot, I'll call you."

"Done and done!"

"Good," replied Izuku contently. He raised his finger. "One more thing. Promise to talk to Ochako. And I mean talk to her."

She nodded in agreement. "I swear!"

"Do you pinky swear," replied Izuku inquisitively.

Tsuyu extended her pinky finger. Izuku approached and sat beside her. "I swear," she answered with a chipperer voice.

"Pinky, pinky,

Whoever tells a lie

Will sink down to the bad place

And never rise up again!"

"Yubikiri genman, uso tsuitara hari senbon nomasu," said Tsuyu.

"In English, finger cut-off, ten thousand fist-punchings, whoever lies will be made to swallow a thousand needles." Izuku replied firmly. His bunny ears and tail twitched.

"You probably want your shirt back." Tsuyu said to Izuku as she extended her hand to return him his shirt.

He declined her request, wavering his hand softly. "Consider it a gift!"

"Seriously?!" The frog girl's face lit up at the statement.

"Don't look at it as being a weirdo or anything," he nervously laughed.

She clung it to her chest, cradling it like it was a newborn baby or a cherished teddy bear. A teardrop appeared from the stunned Faunus' head. "Maybe Kacchan's right. I am too much of a softie. But there isn't a chance in hell I would ever say that to his face. He will downright gloat and never let this end." The emerald teen wants to believe that he won't regret this… However, it would be unwise to not be ready for some sort of backfire. As much as he wanted to see the further awkwardness of an amorous post-pubescent teen, time was now of the essence.

"It's getting late, Tsu." Izuku said matter-of-factly as he stood up. Dusting the earth from his butt and allowing its tail to do the rest, he turned around to face the exit. "I think we should head back."

"Yeah, true, ribbit!" Tsuyu stood up and dusted herself off. "Don't need oba-san to come out and look for us." She took hold of his shirt and placed it around her shoulder.

"I guess not." Izuku stepped back to allow Tsuyu to exit first. She smiled at his chivalrous act. As she was stepping outside, she turned to face Izuku. "Hey, Izuku, do you think Ayeka obasan may have-" The frog girl miscalculated her step, causing herself to lose her balance and fall straight to the ground. Immediately, Izuku rushed to the 'rescue' and tried to catch her fall.

CRASH!

Unfortunately, Izuku also miscalculated his steps, causing himself to trip and fall to the ground, landing on his back. However, he did manage to somewhat catch her fall, landing on top of his chest.

Their eyes were in spirals. Izuku was seeing carrots spinning in circles and Tsuyu was seeing dancing mongooses.

"Mother of God," Izuku moaned, then realizing the extra body weight on top of him. "Tsuyu, are you okay?"

"I still see the shadows in my room. Can't take back the love that I gave you." Tsuyu replied melodically, displaying that she was in a daze.

"Snap out of it, Tsuyu!" Izuku lightly slapped her cheek.

The spirals faded and Tsuyu returned to normal. She shook her head vigorously. "Jesus, that was quite a trip! At least you got a chance to see fall, ribbit." She smiled gleefully.

Izuku deadpanned and felt the sweatdrop popping out of his forehead. "Ok, Tokage!" Puns were not the frog girl's forte.

"Sorry, ribbit!" Tsuyu hit her head softly with her hand. "Thank you for catching me."

"You're welcome," replied Izuku. "And thank you!"

"For what," she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"For thanking me!"

"You know Deku…you're an awesome wonder."

"And you know, Tsu," replied Izuku rebutally. "You're quite the vixen!"

The frog girl blushed. "Wouldn't be the first to hear that, ribbit!"

The duo laughed momentarily at that lighthearted banter.

"I think you want me to get off, ribbit," she said to him.

"Umm…yeah. A bit heavy," said Izuku.

"Hey! It's rude to call ladies fat!" She looked skyward with a cute pout. "I'm light as a feather." She lowered her eyes. "And judging on what I felt earlier, you're definitely stiff as a board!"

He bit his lip, his face reddened. She called him out. Despite that hurt-filled-yet-honest speech earlier, his body contrasted his words. She did smell good and she had such soft skin. Defensively in his mind, it was just a natural reaction, especially as his Faunus physiology is certainly more sensitive towards sexual stimuli.

"It's just a natural reaction," he said defensively. "It happens when pressure is applied to the body."

She pursed her lips, giving him a teasing, yet somewhat seductive glare. "Hehe! Yeah right!"

"I'm serious, Tsu!" Izuku chagrined as his face was beet red due to the embarrassment.

"Sure you are." She giggled alluringly. "Poor Deku! You can give me anything but your Small Might surely understands what it wants and desires - me!"

Tsuyu pressed her chest upon his, making him tense up on contact. He cursed himself for not asking the girl to change from her resort bathrobe as in this precarious position he got a nice peek of her cleavage and the scent of female arousal was getting to him basically unobstructed. Her breasts were slightly smaller than Ochako's, but he clearly remembers that they are still nice, firm and perky.

"No good…!" Izuku was aware that Tsuyu has been getting aroused for a while now, in fact he can sensed her sexual desire spiked. To make matters worse, his body was betraying him again, but if he acted fast he would stop it before he loses his rational mind again. "O-okay, Tsu! I know you like to tease and mess around, you had your fun so now we can stand up, go back inside and finally finish off this crazy day-!" He tried to reason with her while he thought he had a chance.

However, before he could finish off his sentence or tried to push her off him, Tsuyu went in and enveloped her lips with his. Izuku's eyes were wide as saucers and his movements froze. The force of her tongue impaling into his mouth. He felt his mouth being cleaned by her powerful muscle with far more intensity than before. The Emerald rabbit might be inclined to say that, for a newbie in sexual relationships, he was a good kisser, but no way he could overpower the strength of Tsuyu's wettest muscle that moved and danced around his mouth as if it was alive. She didn't stop there. Her hands moved up from his chest to his side, caressing and rubbing affectionately, finding spots that would arouse the rabbit. Izuku's squirming was irresistible, showing the fire and desire in her loins, only wanting to be filled once more of his girth, this time in the right spot!

She broke the kiss, creating a bridge of their saliva. "What's wrong, Izuku? You're suddenly quiet suddenly." She pecked him on the neck. "What happened to the big and bad Izuku from earlier, ribbit! I honestly loved it when you when hard and wild on me, do I have to push your buttons to bring out that inner beast in you again, hmmm~"

"Tsuyu… please… stop this now… or else I… I won't be able to control myself…!" The emerald child pleaded, his heartbeat skyrocketed and his breath turned short and ragged. He fought as hard as he could against his animalistic instinct that screamed at him to pin the frog girl to the ground, rip off her kimono and pound at her until she blacks out, make her scream his name until her throat goes numb and to make her unable to even stand properly for days!

"Oh, that's okay, baby, I can take it! In fact, I would be more than happy to let you go all wild on me again!" Tsuyu's face drew closer to Izuku's, her round eyes dilated by lust. "I have the feeling you didn't go as hard on Ochako-chan as you did with me." She continued with a suggestive tone. Izuku's breath hitched, which confirmed her suspicions of his first time with the round-faced girl. "Afraid that you would have left her in a sex-induced coma or paralyzed from the waist down or quite literally cleave her in two if you went all out on her? I don't blame you. You're such a sweet, caring and considerate boy, always thinking about the well-being of others before yours… Such a gentleman for putting her needs and desires before your own…" She whispered seductively on one of his bunny ears, blowing softly on it and causing him to shiver and stifle a moan from him. "Ochako-chan might be more than capable when it comes to taking a beating, but when it comes to lovemaking I fear that you might be a bit too much for her, but as you can see, you don't have to worry about that with me~" Her knee slowly and sensually went up between Izuku's thighs. The boy couldn't hold back his voice as his crotch was being softly rubbed by Tsuyu's leg. "Just let it all go and let me take in everything you got.~" She concluded before giving his sensitive bunny ear a gentle nimble.

Izuku jerked his head back. Those words of hers penetrated into the synapses of his brain, sending a message to override his off-modded sense of judgment and give the frog girl what she wanted. His toes curled, his legs tensed. She didn't make it easier as she was spending time playing with his Small Might. The rigidness of her hands gliding up and down his thigh, stimulating the sensations to create arousal. He felt the blood rushing from his balls to exalt his mighty fine pole, which was now standing attentively. "Fight it, Izuku! She is only doing this to you so you can give her what she wants." Remnants of reasons remained, knowing that it was Tsuyu's way of getting a second helping. "I knew I should have taken a dose of Recovery Girl's juice. I just knew it! You can fight this, Izuku! Do not give in! Do NOT give in!"

"Well, isn't this great?" Tsuyu replied alluringly as she saw the obvious elephant in the room. She gripped the sturdy member as hard as she could for as long as she could. "At least this is being honest." The frog girl stuck out her tongue as she proceeded to pull down his boxers to his knees. Izuku winced when feeling the exposed air cooling his dick. It was dangling like an anaconda in search of prey. Tsuyu flicked her tongue. "Aww, look how it dances! My little friend, ribbit!" She held the cock with much vigor, anticipating its arrival back to her secret place. She rubbed her face against it, making Izuku emit a moan.

"I love a man when they become honest, ribbit!" The frog girl took hold of the phallus, watching the precum profusely come out of its spout. "Why deny and just be honest with yourself? Resist all you want, but I know this is what you need, what you want, what you desire. At the end of the day, we're just a male and a female in heat, just as nature conceived. You can't fight it forever~ " Stroking her hair, she parted her lips and welcomed his member into her mouth. Upon entry, Izuku squirmed at her warm, fleshy center. "Just give in Deku baby. Obediently accept my love and just fuck me senseless!"

"I'm spacing out! This feels too damn good! Those round titties, the lingering scent coming from her pussy. No! No! Fight it, Izuku!" The prowess of a woman continued overriding and dwindling his sense of judgment. Instincts were clotting his veins, wanting retribution and vindication to the teasing frog girl, whose long tongue wrapped around his member, squeezing it as if she was trying to milk him for his seed.

Tsuyu knew a man's free will can only last for so long. How could anyone resist the fine beauty of this frog vixen? Tsuyu had to give the rabbit boy his due praise for holding on longer than last time, other men would have already given into her, but it all made her more fun for her and all the more satisfying for when she reaps her rewards. Adding further teasing, she used her tongue to flick his phallus. She, then, wrapped her tongue around his dick again, enveloping it which created tension and pressure with his hardened cock. Suction noises filled the air as she used her mouth like a vacuum. She made sure to ease herself when she felt he was close to climax. Enough to tease, but not enough to release. She, too, wanted retribution from him for hurting her feelings.

She released his dick, creating a popping sound in the process. Izuku didn't want to see the strings of saliva and precum soaking on his cock. "You don't have to hold back anymore, but maybe because there is an ounce of fight left in you, ribbit!" She knew that she had to jump to the big guns. The frog teen lifted up her shirt and exposed her precious mounds. She had prepared for this day. No longer were there eggplants and cucumbers filling the fleshy valley, but instead his girth. For once, she would have to give Mineta accolades on the power of the paizuri. While her tits were not exceptional in size, they were enough to get the job done as she wrapped his staff with her boobs, barely able to wrap around his girth.

The frog vixen created a spool of saliva and allowed it to flow onto her chest. She then parked herself to meet Izuku's cock so it could occupy space. She used her hands to mesh her titties together and proceeded to stimulate his dick.

"By the gods!" Izuku harked to the heavens as his dick was covered by her tits. Despite his size, he was grateful for the ability to shape it to his liking (a skill he discovered a few days prior after 'exercising', who would have thought Rabbit Faunuses could do that?).

"You're so pent up, ribbit!" Tsuyu continued teasing him while meshing her tits on his sloppy cock. She glided her tits in an up-and-down motion. Ever so often, she would use her tongue to flick the underhead of his dick. It wasn't easy as she could feel her juices wanting to breach the floodgates. As much as she wanted to finger herself and sate her unfeasible appetite, she wanted to make Deku break so that she could get broken. "What you call a 'strong' spirit will break, ribbit! You see my tits, meshing and cramming your hardened cock. It wants what I want. It wants to give me what you resist most. Let your inhibitions go, Izuku!"

As her breasts continued sandwiching Deku's large salami, his resistance was lessening. The more she teased, the more frustrated he grew. He wasn't dumb and knew exactly the game she was playing. The problem was that by giving Tsuyu what she wanted, it meant that she won again!

Izuku felt the rising tide of his balls swelling. The milk within was brewing, ready to erupt out of its spout. He couldn't resist seeing how his dick disappeared into her fleshy valley. It was like she was playing peek-a-boo and he was the unwilling contestant.

"You're leaking precum, teehee!" Tsuyu was becoming bashful. She must admit praise to his strong mind to not give in. By now, any boy would have covered her in their spunk (not like she hasn't done it before or anything). "It's getting cloudy by the minute, ribbit! Wanna release?" She was becoming more teasing. "Wanna let out that hot, sticky load onto my face, ribbit? Wanna let it all out and be refreshed?" She was becoming playful. "I wouldn't mind. I would love to have my face caked by your batter."

"Please…Tsuyu!" Izuku gritted his teeth. He felt his toes curling, his fists balling white. He wanted nothing more than to turn Tsuyu into tender frog meat, but a tiny sensible side remained. "I can't take this anymore. I am getting close to tenderizing this bitch!"

Tsuyu remained unmoved as his pleas fell on deaf ears. She tightened the folds, creating pressure on his already sensitive cock. "What are you talking about? We're not even close to done!" She expedited his climax. She jerked her titties in an up-and-down motion. Slicking noises were made as the sounds of flesh and juices clashed with each other. "Look at how much precum is covering my breasts. You're trying to get me pregnant, aren't you?" She laughed haughtily.

Izuku's eyes widened when hearing those words penetrate his mind. It didn't go without notice from the frog vixen.

She playfully pouted. "Were you thinking of getting me pregnant, I-zu-ku?! Do you wanna breed me, hmm?!"

"..."

She displayed a smile similar to a certain curmudgeon. "Let it out, Deku baby! Get my tit pussy pregnant. Cover me in your sperm. Make me a mother! Make Ochako hate me!"

No longer able to contain the jelly in his swollen balls, Izuku jerked his head back as the spunk unloaded into Tsuyu's tits. Tsuyu welcomed Izuku's sperm as it crammed its narrow valley. Tsuyu was delighted in pleasure as she felt the hot load soaking onto her skin. She smiled as she watched Izuku's cute face being flattened by the prowess of her womanhood.

Izuku's sperm was like an erupted volcano, covering itself onto Tsuyu's face, neck, and chest. Tsuyu bathed in it, lathered in it. This felt like bliss, comparing it to facials in a spa. Izuku kept his head cocked back as his lavalike sperm covered Tsuyu. He continued to release as it segued into the ebb and flow.

The froggy vixen relished the warm and gooey feeling of Deku's seed. It was barely a few hours since their steamy encounter, but Tsuyu already missed being covered like a glazed donut. The frog girl then proceeded to eagerly clean herself off and drink the Faunus' seed as if it was both the tastiest treat in the world and a blasmephy for her to even let a single drop go to waste.

Deku laid flat on the ground, recovering his breath. Sweat was covering his reddened face and his heartbeat was a thousand miles per hour. Unsurprisingly at this point, his meat slab of a penis was still proudly erect.

Tsuyu finished consuming the last bits of creaming sperm and let out a delighted sigh. "Oh how I missed this heavenly taste, ribbit~!" Tsuyu said, holding her cheeks happily. Even if earlier she nearly got choked on it, she more than loved the taste of her carrot-laced cinnamon roll's milk. Tsuyu then glanced back at said emerald teen and saw him recovering his breath and his still erect big member, the latter making Tsuyu lick her lips with excitement.

The frog girl then giggled haughtily. "Eager for more I see. Of course I wouldn't expect anything else from a big, strong and virile Rabbit Faunus like you. I can tell how badly you want to pound me like a raging bull in heat" She said as she playfully poke the bulbous tip of Izuku's sex organ. "So, are you still gonna play hard to get or are you gonna show me who's the alpha here and put this froggy bitch in her place, hmm~?" She provoked him in a sultry tone, hoping to rile him up enough for him to go wild on her again.

Izuku's breath steadied enough and remained laying down motionless and unresponsive.

After a few seconds of him not moving or saying anything, Tsuyu was about to try to call his attention out of curiosity and a bit of concern. "Izu-chan-?" However, the next second she ended up being roughly thrown down and pinned to the ground by a visually angry Deku.

Instincts overtook any more reasoning he had left in his mind. Tsuyu served nothing more than breeding stock to the angry, virile Faunus. Aggressively, he flipped Tsuyu over to her stomach. No shame as he tore her kimono to shreds, leaving behind her nakedness. "Tsuyu wants to be treated like a bitch? A whore? A piece of tenderized veal that wants to be milk-fed?" He slapped her ass, causing her to wince. "Answer me that?" He slapped her ass again. Tsuyu couldn't answer. This was what exactly she craved - to see his hostility and vehemently releasing the pent-up rage inside. Just as she planned, this cute little bunny fell into her trap.

The Faunus dropped to his knees. He spanked her ass on the other cheek. He did it again and again and again until they were red like Christmas ham. "On your knees," he demanded. The frog girl did as she was told. He took hold of her hips and pressed it against his body. Tsuyu could feel his snake pressed against her supple, fat ass.

Izuku proceeded to use his free hand to grabbed Tsuyu's long hair. He untied her bow and tossed it to the side. He did need leverage to keep the frog girl from leaving his side. "This is what you want, huh?!" he barked loudly. "To be my bitch? To be my meat toilet? To be nothing more…" He stopped, why did he need to explain himself? She wanted to be property and property didn't need explanation on how his property should be treated.

He used his fingers to spread her ass. He and her ass met once again. "A maiden's precious virginity isn't in the likes of you." He hocked loudly before spitting on her ass. "Be grateful I am giving you some lube for a bitch like you deserves to be dry docked!"

Izuku gripped her asspussy, spreading it wider. He didn't have time to do foreplay. His dick was hurting, wanting a release. Without warning, he entered her ass. Her folds enveloped his cock as they became one once again.

Tsuyu immediately hissed, but it went on deaf ears as her head was jerked back due to his having her hair. He wrapped her hair tightly around his fists as he thrusted into her tight ass. She couldn't speak. The stifled moans and the babble brook of her mouth through her fingers were the only source of communication. Whether she was enjoying it or not, it didn't matter. What mattered to Izuku was that he was getting his fix.

Tsuyu was feeling hot. Never did she think a dick could mesh with her internal organs. She felt as though his dick was playing with her intestines. She could feel every single vein and ridge from his coltlike cock. The more he crammed it in, the more Tsuyu twitched.

"You're not resisting as I think you would," said Izuku. Her moans were growing loudly as he felt the tightness of her muscles squeezing around his cock. It was getting to the point that she could come at any moment. Not like it mattered to him.

"Stab my womb until I am coated in your sperm, Izuku!" Tsuyu managed to say. It irked him that her pride remained, knowing that this was exactly what she wanted. Nevertheless, he couldn't resist the urge of her ass. It felt it was an ass of a deprived housewife that hasn't been fucked in a year and would take anything to sate her fix.

With Tsuyu's hands on the ground, she used her free hand and rubbed her pussy as he continued grinding into her ass. "Yes, baby! Pierce this pussy! Work that thick cock of yours, Izu-sama!"

Izuku felt like his climax was approaching. The sound of skin smacking continued as he felt the tide coming in. it could also be determined by feeling the breach in Tsuyu's dam. He closed his eyes as he prepared to deposit his sperm into her snatch.

"I am about to come, Tsu," he warned her. "I am about to cream your snatch!" Sparks of green electricity covered the duo. He felt the exertion of his Quirk generated from the depths of his soul and onto the surface. The force of his body was perpetuating the energy to carry to Tsuyu. In other words, a tsunami-like wave will blow into Tsuyu.

"It's okay, Izu-sama! Bust your fat seed into me. Fill my hole with your babies! Cream this bitch!" she screamed at him.

"I am coming," said Izuku as he spurted his semen inside of her asspussy. If it wasn't for Izuku's death grip, she knew she could have easily gone through the shed. Each blow into her ass felt like high-powered hydrants penetrating through her ass.

"I can feel you entering me," said Tsuyu as she shook her ass. "I feel you are impregnating me! Yes, coat it! I feel each spurt entering my love nest. I can feel it cramming my ass, Izu-sama!" Tsuyu didn't get a chance to come herself, nevertheless, it was worth the price of admission knowing that she got what she wanted.

Izuku released her hair and pulled himself back from her ass. He sat on the ground as he watched Tsuyu standing on her knees. His spunk dribbled out of ass, creating a trail down her creamy legs. She turned around with a smile on her face. "Thanks for the meal, Izu-sama!"

He was lost for words. He lied on his back, wanting to stare into nothingness. Instinct overtook reason, giving in to his primal urges and fulfilling Tsuyu's needs. She used it against him. A woman willing to be handled and regulated by him was the dangerous kind. All Might was right: "You can't force the willing!"

"Boy, Izu-sama! You gave me quite the beating, ribbit!" The pleased frog vixen said as she rubbed her stomach. "I could only imagine what would have happened if you blew your wad inside of me. I could have gotten pregnant, you know!" It was again in her ass, but boy it was a good anal pounding! In hindsight, she should have expected him to 'punish her' like that and she probably should have impaled herself into her womanhood and got rid of her virginity properly before forcing him on his wild side. Oh, well now she knows for next time!

Izuku couldn't speak, just relished in the afterglow. His body continued to be tense, but he was exhausted as it took a lot of energy from him. He didn't realize that the exertion of energy could take a lot from him. He felt heavy, depleted, and worst of all…satisfied! It was also concerning that his One for All suddenly kicked in right when he was about to release, luckily it was just up to his 5%, but nonetheless it's worrisome that his animal instincts are now affecting his Quirk. If his Quirk increases his strength, speed, stamina… Could it affect the potency of his seed? It seemed to affect his sperm output. What if Tsuyu was right that she would have gotten knocked up if he'd taken her other…?

The balance of power was in her favor. That was worrisome, especially when her disdain and grief segued into her beatitude. It was making him think. If Tsuyu could trigger him by activating his primal sexual urges, then what could the enemy do? To be precise, if the other girl's find out about this side of him, would they force him into this primal state just to get their way with him? Regrettably, he must assume that to be the case…

A few minutes later….

"I hope that shirt of mine provides you with a lot of warmth tonight 'cause you gonna need it." Izuku was blunt when saying those words. He and Tsuyu were walking through the woods as they returned back to the inn. "Maybe Ayeka oba-san has room for you to sleep with her in her lord's absence."

"I said I was sorry, ribbit," replied Tsuyu consolingly. She wasn't going to lie that it looked sexy wearing Izuku's shirt. However, she didn't expect him to throw her out of the room tonight. "I dropped the ball on that one, again. I was…I was…"

"A perv, no less," interjected Izuku with his arms crossed, obviously upset. "Did you catch something from Mineta after destroying his dorm room? If so, that could explain everything."

Scribbles were forming in her mind. "Sorry, Izuku!" Tsuyu felt ashamed that again her heat won over her rational mind and she made Izuku cheat on his girlfriend again… On the very same day!

She honestly has no idea how or why all of that suddenly happened, it just did. One second her mind was clear and the next lust clouded her again, but being fair she's been in heat for at least 2 weeks so it would make sense that a bout of mating wouldn't be enough to meet her need, still it didn't make it feel any less embarrassing that she acted like a bitch to force the wonderful ray of sunshine to pound her into tender meat again. But she can't deny that it was even better than their first time and if this keeps up, because she knows she won't stop it here, Izuku might end up making her into his anal slut from how fucking good his anal fucking was.

"You're definitely sorry if you catch a cold tonight, but that is none of my business." Izuku lifted his head skyward, completely done with the conversation. He wasn't entirely mad about the situation, he would be a liar if he didn't say that this sex encounter was anything but amazing and felt plenty satisfied. He had also forgiven her earlier. But, a stand was to be made and a line must not be crossed. It took a lot to keep that stance and that stance must remain.

At least until they go back to school in the morning.

Izuku now understands better how his pheromones affect different types of girls, as Recovery Girl said they are more effective on girls with animal traits and that was no joke as only a few hours after Tsuyu's 'first dose of him' she already got aroused enough to get blinded by lust again and go for seconds. Certainly something Deku has to be wearing in the future… And this line of thinking led him somewhere he didn't want his mind to go…

"What will happen… If Blake comes to be affected by me…?" A totally valid question for him to ask, even if he didn't want to think about the Feline Faunus, but yet again his mind was drawn to her. Blake is a Black Cat Faunus, and he knows Faunus have Heat Periods, looking back it now he knows what Auntie and Uncle were up to wherever they left Blake with his family and didn't come back until at least mid-day of the next day with Auntie feeling happy and in high spirits, but with a slight wobble in her step and Uncle looking tired and drinking lots of orange juice.

When he asked his mom why the Belladonna couple always left for so long and why they looked like that when returning, she said that they go out for a long session of 'exercising'. Well, technically it wasn't a lie, Auntie Kali did, and most likely still does, 'work out' Uncle Ghira to exhaustion, at least he also seemed pleased even if he looked deprived of bodily liquids after working a whole night shift.

Returning back to from that sidetrack. Deku questioned what would happen when Blake turns up in two or so months and he is still unable to reel in his hormones enough to not drive every girl in the vicinity crazy.

The idea of Blake falling prey to this just like the girls around him was…

Izuku came to a stop as he had no idea how to feel about such a prospect of Blake ending up like Ochako, Tsuyu and the others. But his heartbeat increased considerably.

Tsuyu noticed that he stopped and glanced back to see him. "Izuku? What's wrong?"

The Rabbit Faunus snapped out his thoughts and glanced at the frog girl. "It's nothing." He said drily and resumed his pace, walking past Tsuyu, who could tell something was bothering him. "Just thinking about if that cotton t-shirt of mine is absorbent enough for some heat is all."

"I know, I know!" Tsuyu was deadpanned. "I am going to see if Ayeka oba-san would let me crash in her quarters tonight."

"No use thinking about any of this, all that matters is that I have to get a grip of this as soon as possible." He shoved the thoughts of the raven-haired Faunus to the side as he and Tsuyu walked the path back into the resort.

"Could that t-shirt come with a pajama bottom and a pair of spare pantie-" Tsuyu cut herself off when she saw something lighting up the night sky. She pointed in its direction. "Izuku, look!"

Izuku looked in Tsuyu's direction. A bellow of smoke was toppling the night sky. "What is that? And where is it coming from?"

BOOM!

Izuku grabbed Tsuyu and placed her behind him. A loud rumble was felt from their feet. He knew it wasn't an earthquake. Maybe it was the military doing an exercise. But, he was doubtful as he was certain that there weren't any Japanese or American military bases nearby.

BOOM!

The sound of the explosion came from the terrible echo as if it were the anguished cry of God. Flashing lights rented the sky as if it was intent on shattering the universe by ripping apart every atom.

"Deku?!" Tsuyu gripped her hands tightly to his shoulders, displaying worry.

"It's coming from the onsen," he said matter-of-factly. "I sense trouble." He immediately broke away from Tsuyu. "Tsuyu, I need you to find somewhere to hide."

"You know I won't do that, ribbit," she replied.

"Listen to me, Tsu! We don't know who this is," he retorted. "I'm going to go and check it out. What I need you to do is stay hidden, okay?"

"But Izu-"

"Just do it, damn it!"

"But-"

"Do it!"

The vixen wanted to rebuttal, but could hear the seriousness in his voice. She nodded in comprehension. "Where do you want me?"

He pointed at the nearby ravine. "Just hide in the ravine over there. If I am not back in ten minutes, then run and get help."

"But we're in the middle of nowhere!"

Izuku reached into his pocket and tossed the frog girl his spare cell phone. "There was a sheriff's station a few miles down the road to the onsen. I know they can get to the fire department. What I need you to do is call Aizawa-sensei. Even All Might!" He looked toward the source of the explosion. "If this is a Villain attack, then he certainly needs to know."

Tsuyu could tell by his voice that he wanted to protect her. However, she, too, was a prospective Pro Heroine and wanted to help him. She made another attempt. "I know Deku that you're looking out for me. What makes you think that they won't get you? Do you even know that this is an attack? This could be naturally made."

"I don't," he replied. "But I wouldn't know what to do with myself if something bad happened to you. And I don't need that blood on my hands." He eyed the teen. "We lost Sir Nighteye in a melee. I saw the reaction his friends and family gave following his death. I don't want to see that in the eyes of your parents either. I know you want to be a hero and it's honorable but I don't want you to be hurt. Just run! Run as fast you can when it is time to do so. Understand?!"

There was no debating with him, she thought to himself. She could tell by his body language that he meant business. Tsuyu complied and rushed into the ravine. Knowing that she was out of sight and momentarily safe, Izuku ran toward the onsen. He wasn't sure what he would be expecting, but it was now time to put his newly acquired skills to the test.


Meanwhile…sometime earlier….

The second the Uber driver came to a stop, the second Ochako blitzed out, running at speeds that impressed Tenya. She immediately burst into the resort's reception, scanning the area in search of her targets, her expression made it clear that she neither had time nor mood to put up with anything and to better to remain the heck out of her way unless they wish to face the hellish wrath of a scorned woman.

The round-faced girl then spotted a woman coming up from behind the desk. "Oh, good evening! How can I help you with-?" The receptionist asked in a pleasant tone before being cut off by Ochako.

"Where's Izuku Midoriya and Tsuyu Asui!?" The brunette demanded as she furiously slammed her fist on the desk, scaring the receptionist.

It was then that Tenya and Shouto came in, the former grabbing the girl by the shoulder while the latter went to talk with the lady.

Shouto cleared his throat. "Sorry about that, ma'am. Our friend here is… uh… worried about our friends." He apologized. "We came looking for them because it's been hours since we last heard of them and we're worried that something happened to them." He explained the situation while Tenya was telling Ochako to keep her cool as he rubbed her back. Normally he would have chastised her for her behavior, but it's clear that doing that would end up bad for him so a more sensitive approach was the way.

"Oh, I see. It's very nice of you to worry about your friends." The woman smiled. "You must be such close friends with Izuku-shinshi and Tsuyu-shoujo."

Shouto nodded. "So are they here? Last we knew of them was that they came here." He asked.

"Oh yes, they're here." The receptionist nodded with a smile. The trio of teens perked up at this, Ochako in particular was impatient to get answers, but maintained her cool and waited for the purple-haired lady to finish talking. "Those two lovebirds must have lost track of time in the onsen that they've forgotten to keep in touch with you all. They are still students after all. Quite the lovely couple those two are." She said cheerfully.

However, the teens reacted in utter shock. Tenya's jaw dropped, Shouto's eyes widened and Ochako just stood there frozen, something crashed in her mind.

"Um… Excuse me, 'a couple', you say?" Shouto asked again, feeling stunned by what he and the others just heard. He knows Deku enough to know that he is not the type to cheat, unlike his father, so he knows something fishy is going on.

"Hmm? Didn't you know that Tsuyu-shoujo and Izuku-shinshi were together and engaged to each other?" The lady asked. "But Tsuyu-shoujo did say that Izuku-shinshi likes to keep things for himself and probably kept their relationship secret." She said to herself

While Tenya and Shouto were stunned to hear this, Ochako heard glass shattering inside her head. "...What did you just say?" Said the gravity girl with a flat tone.

The boys turned to look at her and flinched when seeing a dark aura coming off from the girl, something that the purple–haired receptionist didn't seem to notice.

"I said that Tsuyu-shoujo and Izuku-shinshi were together and engaged. She seemed very happy and proud when she told me after she arrived." The lady replied.

"..." Ochako remained silent. Tenya gulped nervously and Shouto tensed as they waited for Ochako to react. And after a few seconds. "DID THAT BITCH SAY WHAT?!" She yelled with infernal fury as she tried to throw herself and choke that stupid old hag in front of her, but Tenya stopped ber by grabbing her by her wrists.

"Please, Ochako-kun, calm down!" Tenya pleaded as he tried to drag her back.

"Oh, I'll calm down after I turn that bitch into a fucking purse! Now let me go!" Ochako struggled, but Tenya was able to hold her in place thanks to his superior strength, but Ochako was making his effort more than expected.

"Tenya, take her out and try to appease and be careful to not get touched by her!" Shouto instructed him quickly to which the Engine teen nodded in acknowledgement and dragged the raging Ochako out against her will as she shouted swears and what she will do to Tsuyu once she gets her hands on her.

"Oh goodness gracious!" Said the purple-haired lady as she held her chest.

"I'm really sorry about that, ma'am, it's just-" Shouto tried to apologize, but the woman interrupted him.

"No need to explain yourself, young man. I understand. That girl must be Izuku-shinshi's previous girlfriend. I know a scorned former lover when I see one, trust me. It must have been because of her that Izuku-shinshi and Tsuyu-shoujo opted to keep their engagement secret from others in fear of something like this. Good call as that girl seems a little unstable and certainly Izuku-shinshi wouldn't want someone like her as his bride." She said as she regained her composure. "Poor thing, it must be hard for that girl to hear something like this, I pity her."

"Right…" Shouto knew there's something definitely wrong here and that Tsuyu was responsible for it, but he decided to play along. "So, where are they exactly?"

"Oh right, they must still be in a shed behind the resort. They wanted some more privicity with each other. Ah, young love is a beautiful thing." The lady said with a happy smile.

"Thank you. Sorry for the inconvenience." Shouto bowed down his head.

"Never mind that. Just please try to not interrupt their moment."

"I'll… try." Shouto then rushed to look for his best friend and get to the bottom of this, preferably before Ochako threw Tenya out of orbit.

The icy hot teen stepped to the entrance of the resort. He knew Ochako's second act was about to begin and would probably require a few-second head start to warn Tsuyu and Izuku about a certain enraged girlfriend of his.

The engine teen stood motionlessly as he continued holding Ochako by the collar, who seemed calm enough to not try to actively try to null Tenya's weight. Judging by her snorting, she was probably catching their scent. "What's the verdict, Shouto-kun?"

Shouto pursed his lips, fidgeting his pockets as he rocked back and forth. He tried to be clear and concise with his wording or else Ochako might go on a rampage and the last thing he wants is to be forced to put Ochako on ice, literally. "Tsu and Deku are here. They are…are…are…" He needed a sign from above to find the next set of words. "Man, the stars are beautiful tonight…that's it!" "Stargazing!"

"Stargazing?" retorted Tenya with a raised eyebrow. "In the cold? In the middle of the night?"

The icy hot rubbed the bridge of his nose. If the engine teen only knew what he was alluding to. "Yes! Tsuyu and Deku went stargazing in the woods as it was said that midnight stargazing is popular around these parts. With some camping gear and hot cocoa, it is considered roman…wonderfully recommended."

Tenya stared blankly at the teen whereas Ochako's focus was on determining the location to plan Tsuyu's public execution.

"Actually, Ayeka oba-san even messaged me the coordinates in which they could possibly be. One of many sightseeing spots in the resort." The icy hot teen said as he looked into his cell phone. Honestly, the teen was lying. The hostess informed him that the path to the shed wasn't hard to find as it was a clearly cut path. Fortunately, there were other similar paths that all led to that general direction. Shouto was stalling with the hopes that Ochako would cool off or else he needed to devise a plan to subdue her. He knew it wasn't right but he was already deeply involved - protecting Izuku's trust, Ochako's trust, and most of all, Momo's trust.

"Voila, here's a path!" Shouto said to the others. "The path leads up the hill, not too far from the mountains. We do need to be a little careful. Although the bare minimum, there is a chance of bears and mountain lions."

"And me," interjected Ochako brazenly as she swiped Tenya's hands off her. She turned to Shouto. "Take me to that damn path this instant! Now!"

"Sure! Let's go!" Shouto had to lead or else Ochako would have caught him in a lie. He sighed lightly as he 'looked' at the coordinates on his phone to lead them to Tsuyu and Izuku.

"Tsuyu will be seeing some stars alright…stars from my damn fists." Ochako snorted loudly as she stomped her feet as she was behind Shouto, cracking her knuckles. "Let me find out that she put my Deku to bed and she will be put to bed…a riverbed that is!"

"Relax, Ochako!" Tenya said assuringly, flipping his right arm up. "If they are stargazing, then they are stargazing. But, man, does that hot cocoa sound tasty."

"And this is our class president!" The icy hot teen shook his head due to Tenya's inability to read the mood.

The trio stepped out of the resort doors and were walking toward the terrace. The icy hot teen felt a chill down his spine. He knew the wind was picking up but something was feeling off to the teen. The sound of their footsteps filled the air as they were walking towards the path. However, the atmosphere was eerie. It was eerily silent, a contrast from the sounds of rushing water and squawking bats from earlier.

Shouto stopped. He looked onto the night sky and then his surroundings. It felt like a vacuum sucked away any natural sounds. It didn't go unnoticed by the engine teen.

"What's the matter, Shouto-kun?" asked Tenya.

The icy hot teen shut his eyes, as if he was meditating. He squatted to his knees and just listened. It was unusual of his routine but he was a prospective Pro Hero thus being prepared to know one's surroundings and developing new skills.

"Shouto-kun?" asked Tenya again. His jaw slackened and grew concerned.

"Shouto! This isn't time for sightseeing! There is a bitch-" Ochako was cut off when Shouto put his finger to his lip, wanting silence.

Shouto stood back up and examined the area closely. He stepped back, shielding Ochako. "Tenya, watch my back and I got your front! Keep Ochako close!"

"Shouto-kun, you're worrying me," replied Tenya. "What's the matter?!"

He made a clicking sound as he jerked his head to the direction into the woods. "We're being watched!" Shouto warned Tenya and Ochako. He felt something was off since arriving at the village. As if a shadow was overbearing them. He couldn't see it but he could see them. He recalled his sister telling him, "if your eyes can't see, your heart can't leap."

"We're being watched?" retorted Tenya before Shouto made a shushing sound.

Shouto kept his focus on the woods. He couldn't hear anything but he knew something was hiding out there. "How far are we from the entrance?" he murmured to Tenya.

"Not far," replied Tenya softly.

"On my count, we will run to the entrance," said Shouto.

"Is this wise?" asked Tenya.

"We don't know who it is and what they are capable of," replied Shouto. "I know they have been watching us and if they can see us without us detecting them, then that's a problem." He didn't want to sound or feel weak but he was dealing with an unknown. Although doubtful there were villains lurking in the woods, who knew who could have followed them from the city. Whoever they were, they were hiding for a reason. Until they revealed themselves, they needed to get to safety. As he recalled his sister telling him, "it's not about being afraid, it's just keeping it real."

Shouto kept his eyes forward to the woods. He took hold of Ochako's hand. "Tenya's covering you. You're running first and he's running behind you."

"What about you?" asked Ochako.

"Don't worry about me," he answered. "Okay. On my count…one…two…three!"

Tenya gave a nudge to Ochako to move. She darted away from the scene and headed toward the entrance with Tenya running behind her. Shouto didn't leave, he kept his stance, knowing that he would be the one to stay behind him.

Activating his Quirk, with fire on one hand and ice on the other hand, he stood directly at the woods. "I don't know what you're expecting, but you're not gonna find it here," he barked to the unknown. "Whoever you are. Whatever you are wanting, I am calling you out!"

"With pleasure, Icy Hot!"

…!

Suddenly from the dark of the woods came out a projectile at high speeds, faster than he could react and he ended up being hit square in the face!

"AAUGH!" Shouto cried as the projectile was made out of a gooey substance that was clearly acid, not to a lethal degree but it was burning his face. The Icy Hot teen wiped his face from the substance, his face stinged, but after a certain incident with his mother he knew that it wasn't anything that would leave any lasting damage, but his eyes hurt like hell as if being hit by lemon juice or pepper spray.

Before he could try to adjust his eyesight and look at the attacker, he was hit in the neck causing him to drop to the ground as consciousness faded from him…

At the same time, Tenya and Ochako were running back to the entrance when both heard Shouto's scream.

"Oh no, Shouto!" Ochako cried with worry and concern.

"You run back to the entrance, Ochako-kun! I'll go check on Shouto-kun!" Tenya ordered her.

"But-"

"Just go!" Tenya yelled as he dashed from where he came from.

Ochako stood there for a few seconds, watching one of her best friends leave to face an unknown threat. Ochako wanted to help but she was scared, not just for her but also for her precious Deku. She reluctantly ran towards the entrance in hopes of getting help from the police and Pro Heroes.

The engine teen rushed to Shouto's aid. The icy hot teen was lying on his stomach. Tenya could see something simmering from Shouto's face. He dropped to his knees and took hold of Shouto, turning him over on his back and having his head on his lap. "Shouto-kun!" He slapped his cheek. "Stay with me! Stay with me!"

He heard groaning and murmuring coming from the down town's voice. He was okay but only the Lord knew for how long.

A haughty sound was heard in the skies. "Man down, I see! Problem is, can you see me?"

The engine teen activated his Quirk, getting into position to take off as his Engine was roaring to life. This was cautious as he was in search of a villain that he couldn't see. It didn't help as darkness was enveloping him. "Don't be a wimp. It is just like a villain to use darkness as an advantage. If you're so high and mighty, then face me!"

Out of the darkness, the acidic projectile aimed for Tenya's direction. Either by a chance of a prayer or good luck, the engine teen tossed his glass into the air to deflect the acid, good thing he has many spares in his dorm room. Stomping his legs, he could configure the direction of the villain. "Big mistake, you bastard!" Tenya charged toward the villain's direction. As he was rushing to the villain, they continued projectiling acid in which Tenya successfully dodged. He broke into the woods, causing a tree or two to splinter into pieces.

He felt the blows of the tree bark as he made a barrel roll into the ground. He needed to stay vigilant, especially since his eyesight was now a liability. "Where are you?! Huh?!" Tenya harked into the night. "Weak as you are, Villain! Weak because you're after kids. Why don't you find some Heroes your own size!"

"You talk too much, you damn nerd! It doesn't matter, you won't be hanging around much longer."

Tenya felt a force hitting his back. He lost his breath as the villian attacked him from behind, but he endured it. He tried activating his Quirk but felt the acid hitting his legs. "Aaugh! Son of a bitch!" Tenya cried as he dropped to his knees. Then, he felt the villain taking jabs to his face and chest. Tenya tried resisting the blows as he tried covering his face, but the villain was too quick. Suddenly, he was being picked up and tossed into the forest. He screamed when he felt his body being thrown like a ragdoll before hitting a tree. His limp body dropped to the ground, subduing the teen from moving further.

"This is too easy! You guys call yourself prospective Pro Heroes. Weaklings!"

Tenya was in a daze but conscious. He felt the pain shooting all throughout his body. He staggered as he attempted to get up. He spat out the blood. "Is that the best you can do, huh?" He didn't hear a response with the exception of his own echo. "C'mon?! I'm not out, you pussy!" He was fueled by rage to the point of swearing and willing to beat up the villain who hurt one of his best friends before turning them over to the authorities.

"Words, just words! In this game, nothing is fair!"

Tenya felt another jab to the stomach. He yelped loudly when he felt another blow hit his back, then his stomach again, and finally the back of his head. Tenya landed on the ground. The pain continued radiating from his body.

"It pays to be bad, teehee! I can see why people join the dark side."

Tenya's breath became ragged as he tried to remain conscious,but his limited eyesight was blurring, but he willed himself to persevere. However, he began noticing the sound of the villain's voice. The more they spoke, he began to notice that it was feminine voice. A feminine voice that was starting to sound awfully familiar to him.

"W-wait… Aren't you-?!"

POW!

And just when the robot-like teen joined the dots of the enemy's identity he received a heavy knock from the back of his head and he was out like a light.

Silence filled the heavy dense forest once again. The villain knew that the engine teen was neutralized and wouldn't do anything anytime soon. Shouto was doused with enough acid to keep him subdued.

"Two down…one to go! You can run but you can't hide!"


Back to the present…

Izuku hurried back to the onsen, his Full Cowling activated just to be safe. It was to his surprise that the inn was safely intact, not a scuff or a mark. However, evidence of destruction was shown through the damaged and splintered trees. Smoke filled the area, showing that something happened here. Unsure if it was an enemy attack or an isolated incident, he needed to find out.

Upon entering the resort, he encountered Ayeka oba-san and instructed her and her family to hide until he assessed the situation. Doing as they were told, she and the others sought shelter. What he feared was confirmed when Ayeka oba-san informed him of his friends' arrival. It raised concern that Shouto, Tenya, and his beloved Ochako were somewhere in the vicinity. An incident had taken place and they were nowhere to be found.

Feeling that they were safe, he then started looking around the resort for anything from damages to suspicious individuals and for that he focused his senses of smell and hearing.

"Oba-san told me that she saw them before the attack and then nothing else." Focusing on his newfound heightened sense of smell, he began to sniff for familiar scents. "They were here. Shouto, Tenya, Ochako! Ochako!" Fearing that Ochako was in danger disturbed him, angered him that she was put in this position to find him. That was the only explanation. How did she know he was there was an answer he would have to discover at a later time. Danger was looming and somewhere in there was his precious Ochako.

Ochako was no longer in the inn but she had to be close by. He then decided to venture to the outside onsen. His nose then caught a particular scent. "Oh no!" He then dashed toward the direction the scent was coming from. He rushed out of the onsen and back out into the woods. The further he went inside, the stronger her scent.

He entered the woods. The smell of pine and cottonwood heightened his senses. He remained still, wanting to decipher the location of the others. They were there, but where was the question. He wasn't a fool, he knew by heading to them, he could be facing a trap. This wasn't his first time encountering traps. If walls could talk, he thought.

Darkness enveloped him but it was a blessing that he was crepuscular – meaning that rabbits like him were most awake and alert at dawn and dusk. Exciting and scary at the same time as he knew that when he found Ochako and the others, he would also find the enemy.

It would be easier to track down his friends and the enemy if he could consciously use his Night Vision, something he still hasn't figured out how to do, but alas this wasn't the time to try to make it work as there was a more urgent matter he must tackle now.

Izuku darted through the forest where he found a ravine. It made him think of Tsuyu and hoped that she did as she was told to go and get help. Just like a rabbit, he hopped into the ravine where he landed safely. His fickle nose was getting closer to the scent.

"Ochako? Tenya? Shouto?" They were somewhere in this vicinity as this was where the scent stopped. He shouldn't be scared, but in a way, he was. It doesn't matter how many battles he encountered in his young life, the unknown still brought uncertainty. Nevertheless, he needed to be strong as the love of his life needed him as well as his best friends. Gritting his teeth and gripping his fists, he prepared his stance. He knew the enemy was watching, just waiting on him to make a wrong move.

"I know you're here!" Izuku said to the darkness. "The stench is quite unbearable." He waved his hand in front of his nose. "Something says soap is the true enemy of yours."

He figured that the villain had to be low level as most known enemies would have immediately made their presence known. They were there watching and waiting for him to slip. Fortunately, he was using his ears to detect a sound. A snap of a branch, a crackle, something indicating movement. Despite being a low level villain, they were certainly proficient in hiding.

If this villain was some sort of unhinged serial killer he would have detected the smell of blood, meaning that whoever got his friends didn't want them dead and instead they must have been kidnapped to lure Deku into trying to rescue them. So this enemy was after him, but if were someone like Shigaraki he would have already showed to taunt him and no way Gentle Criminal and La Brava are behind this as this is not their style, and the stench that he caught is unfamiliar meaning that it isn't someone that he knows. So then who is this enemy and why were they out to get him? Or maybe are they after someone he knows and he simply is just part of the enemy's plan?

Deku's mind raced as he tried to figure out the situation while maintaining his stance and senses sharp. Regardless of what is happening he must do his best to save Ochako and his best friends, this is why he has been trained to save and protect people.

…!

Izuku then jumped, performing a backflip as a projectile of some kind flew below him and struck the ground. Thankfully he was able to react in time and avoid the attack that was coming from behind him thanks to both his enhanced senses and battle instincts, a second later and he would have been hit by the projectile.

The Rabbit Faunus landed on the ground gracefully and turned around. "Strike from behind thanks to poor visibility, eh? Sound strategy, but quite cowardly. I guess it suits such a cowardly villain like you!" He shouted to the darkened woods in front of him. He focused his hearing and smelling to try to track any sort of movements from the enemy.

…!

Izuku sidestepped to the left and avoided yet another projectile coming from behind him. The boy was perplexed, but before he could ponder more on this yet another projectile came at him and yet again he dodged. The process continued a few several times with all attacks from the enemy missing. Izuku noticed that all attacks came from different directions around him, but they all took a few seconds between each shot and the direction the stench came from was chaining quickly, so the enemy dashed in the vicinity around him before attempting to strike.

The villain was agile and quick of feet, and there was no attack pattern as the shots were coming from random directions.

Izuku also took note that the projectiles were made of some sort of gooey whitish substance. While dodging another shot, he managed to scoop some of the substance that was lying in the ground. He felt his fingers stinging, but not to a very high degree, and an acidic smell coming off it, so it was a very weak form of acid, proven further as the places where the missed shots landed weren't corroded immediately and the substance wasn't dissolved.

So the enemy was using a form of non-lethal attacks against him, meaning that they aimed to take him alive, at least for the moment.

It was then that it dawned on him who was behind this. Izuku landed from another evasive jump and looked straight forward with an angry glare. "Come out, Mina! I know it's you!" He demanded.

Feet away, he watched trees splintered like toothpicks. He shielded himself from the debris. A haughty laughter filled the air. "Well done, my good and faithful bunny rabbit. Guess your nose is bigger than your head." Izuku watched as Mina exited out into the open. She appeared in her hero costume with black sunglasses. A strong sinister smile appeared on her face as she took off her sunglasses. "I should have known your cute bunny ass would dodge my attacks. If I would have known, then I would have subdued you sooner, teehee!"

"Mina, what's the meaning of this?!" he replied shockingly.

"I'm sick of talking, Midoriya," she said sharply. "Time for this bunny to return back to his rabbit hole."

"Mina, hear me out. This isn't you. This isn't-" Izuku leaped backwards when she spat out acid in his direction. Fortunately, he missed, but it didn't go without seeing the ground smoldering where he stood.

Izuku paled when seeing this, a clear sign that Mina amped up the potency of her acid shots

"God, did I miss you," she said alluringly. "Let's see if I don't miss this time."

Izuku leaped toward the trees. Mina pursued him. At each contact of the tree, he bounced from tree to tree. Mina followed and pursued him, spitting out acid at every opportunity. Trees came down as the acid corroded the impacted area and the further the chase went the larger the trail of fallen trees became.

Izuku amped up his OFA percentage to 8% and darted quickly through the woods in hopes of missing Mina, unfortunately Mina wasn't lagging too far behind and trying to use trees as obstacles didn't help either as Mina somehow splintered them with a kick!

"Okay, this is no good! Mina has clearly lost it now! But not only that, she's somehow stronger and faster than before! How can this be?! Mina has always been agile and athletic, but I should have been able to lose her long ago at 8% and she tore apart thick trees with her kicks like Mirko! Does this mean that the pheromones also increase the physicality of the affected female similarly to the Quirk-enhancing drugs? Shit…!" His mind raced quickly as he maintained his pace, avoiding shots of Mina's corrosive acid. One of the shots flew past him and into a tree that quickly toppled down in a clear attempt to trap him, but Izuku slided down and missed being hit by the tree.

"You're cute when you run, sweetie. But I'm getting tired of this chase, so be a good boy and stay still, this will hurt just an itty bitty bit!" He heard Mina as he dodged yet another shot before jumping into the trees as he amped up his OFA to 10%, speeding up further into the forest. Thanks to his senses he knew that he was gaining considerable distance from Mina.

He then deactivated his Quirk and kept on moving until coming down off the trees as he hid in the shadows. He knows that his body glows and sparks electricity when using his Quirk, so Mina would have followed his direction even if he was way farther than her, and considering that she is clearly being relentless she wouldn't stop trying to chase him down, thus why he turn off his Full Cowling and hid so he would wait for her. Now the tables have turned and he has the advantage, even if he can't see in the dark yet he can sense Mina and he can use that to neutralize her swiftly.

As he waited in the shadows, he had to analyze his new findings on the effects of his pheromones he has on susceptible females. "So… Now it turns out that girls that are affected become stronger and faster than before… That would actually explain how the girls crash landed like a freaking meteor the other day. But hold on, in our trainings at Basic Hero Formation, none of them displayed this enhanced capabilities, only now is it that I'm seeing it, why?" Deku's mind raced until an idea came to him. "Could it be that the power-up only comes up when the female goes berserk? That could explain it, Mina is clearly out of her rocket now and so were the other girls during that night." He speculated based on the precedents he has witnessed so far and thus concluding that it was the clearest explanation. "When this is over, I have to inform this to Recovery Girl as soon as possible. These damn pheromones of mine are even more dangerous than expected." He thought to himself with a frustrated frown due to his pheromones being currently the source of all of his and his friends' problems that are only getting worse the more he finds out about them. Truly Deku's pheromones are a calamity waiting to happen and thus he must do something to tamper their effects as soon as possible.

The boy snapped out of his thoughts once hearing trees falling in the distances, which each sounded closer and closer. He also sensed Mina's scent getting closer, that was another weird thing, her scent is different, perhaps due to her going berserk, which is why he didn't recognize her earlier.

"Oh Izuku~!" He heard her voice after the booming sound of a tree falling down. "Come out, come out wherever you are, my little bun bun~!" Mina's voice was sounding closer and closer. "Deekkkuuu~ Come out and playyyyyy~!"

The Rabbit Faunus gulped nervously as he tried to maintain himself calm as he waited for Mina to approach.

"I know you're out here somewhere~!" Another tree came down and now he could hear Mina's steps. "You can run all you want, but you can't hide from me forever. You're not the only one that follows their nose, you know~? Did I ever tell you how deliciously good you smell~?"

"Shit…! Of course she would be able to follow my scent, I've been sweating a lot making it more potent and easy to track!" Izuku cursed, a female affected by his pheromones would be easily receptive of his scent and thus it could be used to track him down. "Okay, Deku, calm down! She might be able to smell you, but her senses are not as hone as mine, so she wouldn't know where you are exactly. I just have to move silently through the shadows so she won't catch you." He calmed himself and devised a strategy. The male Faunus knew that while Mina knew he was nearby, she wasn't coming to his exact direction and thus she hasn't figured out his hiding spot yet so he still has the advantage.

Izuku then moved very quietly, making sure he didn't make a single noise and took another hiding spot. He heard Mina's steps, she now was taking her time in trying to find him and apparently enjoying it as if it were a game.

"You really like to make me work for it, huh? Well, more than fine with it! Where would the fun be if I were to get you so easily, right?" Mina said in a sultry tone, he could picture her swaying her hips seductively as she walked. He didn't dare peek his head out in case she would spot him.

"But it's getting a bit late, no? Ochako-chan and the others would be worried about you, they haven't heard from you all day, you know? Poor Ochako, she must be worried sick! Tehehe~" Mina said with a false tone, clearly trying to provoke him into coming out.

Deku clenched his fists as anger swelled within him, but kept his head cool.

"Ochako was so worried in fact that she came at this late at night just to come looking for you. Although obviously it would be unsafe for such a cute girl to come out alone this late at night so Iida and Todoroki came along to back her up, such good friends they are!"

Izuku moved and took another hiding spot, trying to slowly go around Mina so he could strike at her from behind.

"I know where the others are! Why don't you come out so I can take you to them? You want to see them, right?" You're precious Ochako most of all. Although… Shouldn't you be at least a bit concerned that Ochako is alone with two guys? I mean she's your quote en quote 'girlfriend' so wouldn't that give you all the more reason to go to her? But then again we're talking about your best friends so of course you wouldn't have anything to worry about!"

"Okay, she's not being a total bitch, which would make it easier for me to knock her out and feel sorry about it!" Izuku thought to himself as he took another hiding spot, just a few more and he would be behind her.

"However, would you mind even if she's not with two of your friends? I mean, if you guys are in an open relationship then that's cool! I'm not judging, because last night Ochako seemed to have some fun with Midnight-sensei and Mount Lady-senpai. Don't take it from me, ask her when you have time!" Mina said teasingly.

"…!" Izuku was shocked when he heard this. His mind flashed to last night when he found a sobbing and traumatized Ochako. So that was what Midnight and Mount Lady did to her… "Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies!" His fists tightened as his anger turned into fury. "Calm down…! Calm down!" He told himself to not fall prey to his emotions. "I know they can be…exotic but I know they didn't do THAT to Ochako. It could be!"

"If that's the case then it would explain why you spent the day at that resort with Tsuyu."

"...! How did she-?!"

"But hold on, those in open relationships would know what the other is doing and with whom to avoid surprises and Ochako had no idea where you were all day so then… *Gasp* Does that mean that… YOU cheated on her?!" Mina continued to tease him with an overdramatic false tone.

Izuku's knuckles turned white and he almost made his hands bleed. It took effort to keep his Quirk deactivated and even more to not go out and punch Mina in the face right this instant, but boy, a raging inferno was growing in his soul now.

"I'm at total loss right now, Izuku! I would have never expected you to be the type that would cheat on a girl and with her best friend no less! Ochako will be utterly devastated when she finds out! …That is if she does. Let's make a deal, Carrot Cake, since you seem to like hitting it off with other girls then how about you come out, take out your pants and rock my whole universe and I would keep mum. What's another teeny tiny cheat, right? It's only fair since you took Tsu-chan for a ride."

Izuku did his best to ignore her taunts and kept moving as she kept talking. Eventually he managed to come around her, he peeked his head from behind a tree and he saw Mina strolling forward with a sway on her hips as she was looking for the Rabbit Faunus.

"So… What do you say-?" Mina was cut when suddenly she was struck behind her neck and dropped down like a rock. Izuku took his chance, activated OFA and dashed at her and karate chopped her before she noticed.

"I'd rather pass…something you should have done before destroying the bathroom stall at school." It wasn't a secret as even the boys knew about Mina's 'accident' in the bathroom stall.

Izuku turned off his Quirk as he glanced at Mina's unconscious form lying in the grass. He was outraged at her and her clearly ill-willed words. It was hard to believe that such words would have come from such a cheerful and friendly girl as Mina, but he knows that it wasn't really her, but even so he couldn't help but being this furious at her.

"Fuck!" Izuku grabbed and clenched his forehead. It was rare of him to curse but also rare to attack his friends unwillingly. "Look what you made me do, Mina. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt you." "Okay, relax, calm down! It wasn't intentional. You were protecting yourself. It is obvious that Mina isn't in her right state of mind. But, why would she do something like this to me and ..."

"Shit! Ochako! Tenya! Shouto!" The emerald-haired boy shouted to the darkness. There wasn't any response. "Ochako?! Tenya?! Shouto?!" He shouted again, only to hear nothing but his echo.

He sniffed around for their scent without any success. Due to his bobbing, weaving, and dodging, he was certainly off course. How far was he deep in the woods was left to his own guesstimation.

The next course of action should be to return to the resort's vicinity and from there look for his friends. Lucky for the trail of fallen trees could help go in the right direction, so that only left one remaining issue: How would he deal with Mina once she wakes up? He hoped that she would be out cold for a while, but it would be naive to only rely on that and not prepare for the worst. He could tie her limbs and that way she wouldn't be able to cause more harm to herself or anyone for the time being, but he doesn't have a rope on hand and he's not sure if it would even work as he would imagine that it would be hard to keep Mina restrained for too long if she can use her acid to melt any sort of biding.

Regardless, he must act quickly as time might be of the essence. Obviously he knows that Mina didn't do anything too brutal to his friends, she might be out of her right mind but there wasn't any sign of blood from other people on her and she would have teased about killing Ochako in particular.

The emerald teen turned around to pick up the unconscious Mina….

…!

"Mina?" Izuku was baffled when noticing the spot where the pinkette was absent. He gripped his fists tightly, knowing that Mina was alive and alert, certainly wanting getback.

"Ara ara!~ So serious! That is what I like about my cute, sexy bunny rabbits!"

So this 'Berserk State' makes the girl stronger, faster and apparently more resilient as Izuku knew for sure he hit her hard, with enough force to knock out just about anyone. As impressive as it was, it was also something very terrifying in this situation…

"Oh, shit!" Izuku felt the force of Mina wrapping herself around his body. She took hold of his legs by using her legs and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"There! Finally within my reach!" Mina cackled as she had Izuku exactly where she wanted him…in her possession! "You honestly thought that weak of a punch was gonna subdue me?" She cackled loudly. "Faunus please!"

"Let go, Mina!" demanded Izuku in a harsh tone. He attempted to throw her off his body, but her grasp on him was iron-clad.

"Let go, Mina," replied Mina mockingly. "Such an obstinate cute bunny rabbit, teehee! You think words are gonna convince me to let you go?" She made a fake pout. "And the way you treated me? What kind of friend are you anyway?" She blew into his ear. "Why not quit while you are ahead." She giggled as she planted her tongue around his neck, licking it slovenly.

"What the hell?!" barked Izuku.

"Hmm, tasty! That is how I like my carrot cake," replied Mina before pecking him on his neck. "At least I'm honest about how I feel about you." Izuku gasped when feeling her hand rubbing his groin. "It looks like this part of you certainly doesn't want to let me go." She gently rubbed that area, stroking it firmly until she felt it protruding through his pants.

"Amazing! It's so hard," replied Mina cheerfully. She used her nails to carve into his jeans, tearing the seams as it exposed his boxer shorts. "Faithful my ass, my little itty bitty cheater!" She reached into his boxers and took hold of his balls. "Doesn't it hurt to have your balls swollen with so much sperm, Dekkun!?" She blew into his ear again, only this time she bit onto his lobe, licking it. "First your girlfriend, then Froggy, and now me. You're sure that you really love your girlfriend? I don't recall faithful boys getting hard by another woman's touch."

Izuku tried moving but her grips caught him in a bind. What was the matter? Did he already depleted his energy? Why wasn't he moving?

"Kawaii! Your cock is so cute! Mmm~ And how big it is, my favorite size! You are quite the bunny stud, aren't you~?" Mina took hold of her hand and spat on it. "Allow me to give it the sensation that it craves." The pinkette took hold of his cock, enclosing it tightly and began stroking it.

Mina covered his mouth. "Shh! Don't speak, just moan and enjoy the pleasure!" Izuku jerked his head back as the familiar sensation returned to his body. He stood motionless as he felt his dick being stimulated by her soft hand. His chest expanded back and forth. Mina felt his hot breath coming out of his nose and onto her hand. "That's right, resistance is futile! Give in to the pleasure. That's it! Let a real woman make you feel good!"

Mina continued giving him gentle kisses on his neck. Ever so often, she would lick his neck to sensualize the vulnerable teen. Izuku tried to resist, but it immediately changed when she took her hand from his mouth and began kneading his nipples. She smiled as she used one hand to caress his nipples and her other hand to stroke his dick.

"No, no! Don't flinch! We both don't need the stress," she said softly into his ear. "Just give in and enjoy this. I'm doing this for you, for us. Just think of me and only me." She then licked into his ear. She did whatever she could to turn his body into one sex organ. If anything she has learned about boys, hitting the right spots can make them fold easier than paper.

Izuku's woes were slowly segueing into pleasure. His harsh breaths were turning into moans. "Forgive me, Ochako!" Izuku said to himself as he finally submitted into the pleasures of Mina.

"Starting to feel good, I see," she said to him as she grabbed his hair and jerked it backward to her direction. The pinkette forced her tongue into his mouth. The loud smacking noises filled the tiny area as she ravished his mouth. Meanwhile, she continued stroking his dick, rubbing the phallus circularly. Having these sensations would drive anyone crazy.

The pink girl knew Izuku enough to know that he would be weak towards the prowess of womanhood if the right buttons were pushed. Certainly he was a lot tougher than before when he was still a regular human, but in the end he is still Izuku Midoriya, just because he can talk to girls without sutting doesn't mean that he is any less prone to be taken advantage of one. In fact, she dares to say that now that he is a Rabbit Faunus, he is even weaker to the female sex for obvious reasons.

Izuku might talk the talk and walk the walk when push comes to shove, but in the end a girl with enough skill and charm would get to him.

The Faunus knew he was close to climaxing. It was embarrassing as he had the ahegao face as his moans heightened. Mina broke the kiss, creating a trail of saliva between the two. Izuku shut his eyes as he felt his balls were being emptied.

"Aww! You're coming, aren't you?" she said teasingly. "What a cute face you're making now."

In no time, Izuku cried out as his spunk evacuated his penis. With each spurt, Mina continued jerking his cock as it flew into the soil. It continued until she felt he couldn't ejaculate anymore.

"Wow! That's a lot of white stuff that came out of this big carrot of yours." Mina said with a smile that she was pleasantly surprised. "And look at that, not even an inch soft." She glanced down at Izuku's cock, still in her grasp and still as hard as a rock. The pink girl licked her lips in excitement as her sacred passage leaked "You're a bunny stud alright, my bunny stud!" She blew into his fuzzy rabbit ear, causing him to shiver from the sensation.

He felt worthless. He felt bad for betraying his girlfriend for submitting to the pleasure yet again, three times in a row in the same day. The sensation was invigorating, irresistible. Although it was forced, why did he feel bad? He thought to himself that if he didn't like it, then why embellish himself in the pleasure?

Mina released his dick, feeling the stickiness of his spunk covering her hand. She delicately placed the contents into her mouth, ingesting each and every digit. "Yummy," she said before swallowing the contents. "I would expect nothing less from this delectable icing, my little bunny rabbit!"

"..." The embarrassed Faunus declined to answer.

"Kukuku! You call yourself All Might's successor and this so-called Alpha Faunus," she said disparagingly. "You're nothing more than a menagerie for women's pleasure." She scoffed harshly. "I barely got a scratch and it took nothing to take down Specs and Daddy's Boy earlier. Who is the real alpha, you fucking betas?" She clicked her tongue as she gripped Izuku's ass. "You can be nothing more than a meat dildo to me. Your only purpose in life is to give me pleasure." She unbuckled his pants and pulled them down to his knees. "A great joy that I can turn you in my sex slave, Izuku. Please believe in your case, it's a privilege, not an insult." She placed her chin on his shoulder. "A pity about Ochako really. It matters not. It isn't like she's gonna be missed. She was no different than poor trailer trash."

"Take that back!" Izuku barked at Mina. "Take that back, Ashido! Take that back!"

"Faunus, stop," she retorted. "The only thing I am taking back is you for you belong to me. You're my property, my slave, and my toy. I do as I please-" Mina was taken off-guard when he headbutted her against her neck. The pinkette flew into the air as she jettisoned into a tree, creating more splinters in the process.

Green sparks of electricity surrounded the now angry teen. No longer did it matter that Mina wasn't acting like herself. In his eyes, she needed to be neutralized. Izuku didn't give Mina time to react as he used his Full Cowling to her direction. Upon finding Mina, he took hold of her and tossed her into the earth like a track player throwing a shotput.

The alien girl bounced to the ground, losing her breath as she was caught off-guard by Izuku's surprise attack. As she turned on her back, Izuku landed on top of her.

Mina flinched when seeing such a fierce look in Deku's glowing emerald eyes. "You wanna get fucked by me so bady, huh?! Fine then!" He barked as he grabbed ahold of her outfit's upper part and ripped open and freeing her round and perky C-cup breasts. Mina epped in shock, but Izuku didn't stop there as he then grabbed ahold of the crotch of her outfit and tore it off, exposing her wet slit.

Izuku couldn't think clearly as both indignant rage and lust flared up inside of him and the only thing he felt he should do was punish this bitch into submission via fucking!

"Tsk! You didn't bother to wear something underneat your costume, you're a just a fucking slut!" He berated her.

Mina was stunned by how Izuku was turning the tables on her, she never would have expected him to snap at her like this and snatch full control of the situation out of her hands and she knew she couldn't stop him now.

"The fucking nerve of you! Is this what you want?! Do you want to see the beast come out?!" Izuku's instincts were going into overdrive. The alpha in him wanted nothing more than to pulverize Mina. "I'm going to give you a reason to never throw salt on Ochako's name like that, you sow!" Izuku pulled out his dick and rubbed against Mina's swollen pussy. The redness of it showed that she had tilled herself on numerous occasions, but he could smell a virgin.

The boy, without warning, thrust his entire shaft into her pussy. Mina's eyes widened by the sudden impact of his girth cramming inside of her womb. She could feel his dick meshing with her intestines as he grounded her like he was crushing pepper.

Izuku didn't care as he smelled blood coming from her pussy. At this moment, he wasn't deflowering anything. If Mina wanted to be a playgirl, then he was going to give her a reason to live by that name!

Izuku felt like he was drilling a hole into her womb. He was giving her just desserts as he thrust harshly and aggressively into her pussy. Mina felt like she was being stabbed as his giant girth impaled inside of her. Izuku didn't look at her. He didn't want to give her the idea that he was enjoying this. He was going to teach her a lesson on misusing and abusing gentle-natured boys like him.

Mina couldn't move as both arms were bound to the ground by his mighty strength. The intensity was powerful. It was something that she never felt before. There wasn't a back massager or a vibrator in the world that could give her such a sensation.

Sweat profusely dropped from the boy's head onto her skin. Izuku's eyes were shut as his instincts were telling him to breed the pinkette. Wanting more, he paused to flip her over. Now on her stomach, he took hold of her, wrapping her arms around him as he proceeded to thrust deeper into her womb.

Mina's cries were turning into moans. Her tongue was lapping like a happy dog. It didn't matter that she was feeling like a toilet. This was bliss that she didn't expect and she would be a liar to say that she didn't enjoy it. She always dreamt of Deku going hard on her, but not this hard, but dang, does she love it!

He began swaying his hips faster. "You like this don't you?!" he said as he slapped her ass. "You like being treated like this, don't you!? Say it, admit! Kimochi?! Kimochi?!"

"Fill me up," she cried to the heavens. "Give me your sperm. Treat this naughty girl a lesson!"

"Of course you do! You girls like you and Tsuyu are such eager and greedy bitches when it comes to getting me, but you're just sluts that need to be put in their place!" Izuku barked as he kept pounding hard into her tight pussy.

"By the gods!" she cried as she knew the boy's cock was impaling her womb. She began whimpering as the boy continued having his way with her. "Harder, Izuku! Harder!"

Izuku moaned as his dick was enveloped by her tight folds. As he dug further into her pussy, she clawed her nails down his back. Izuku hissed as his back was feeling hot from her nails embedding him. It was enough steam to blow inside of her, but he felt no pain, only lust that compelled him into fucking Mina into his bitch!

"I'm getting close," she told him. "Fill me up! Give me your sperm! Breed me!"

In unison, Izuku trembled as his sperm erupted inside of Mina's cavern. The pinkette squirted as her juices soaked Izuku's stomach. They yelled loudly as they ebbed from the pleasure.

Izuku lowered himself onto Mina and tilted her neck. He shut his eyes as he sank his teeth into her neck. Mina squirted once again as the bite itself gave her a second orgasm after a brief second of pain.

After a few moments, the sounds of harsh breathing filled the forest.

Izuku removed his mouth from Mina's neck and wiped the blood coming from her wounds with his tongue, causing her to whimper slightly. The pinkette doesn't know it yet, but she is now Izuku's third claimed mate.

As Izuku pulled out his white-laced penis out of Mina, her overstuffed pussy leaked out his seed like syrup.

"That… That was…" Mina mumbled weakly before letting out a sigh as she falls unciousios due to over-exaustion from such intense fucking sesion.

Izuke took a few seconds to recover his breath as his rage waned and his lust was satiated at the moment. The emerald rabbit then looked down and once again the realization of the consequences of his actions hit his mind at once like being hit by a bucket of cold water.

"Oh no… Oh no no no no no…! Goddamned, I did it again!" He quickly stood up as his face was stricken with guilt and shame. "Aaugh! Stupid dammed Faunus hormones and instincts!" He grabbed a hold of his hair and pulled from it in frustration, but careful enough to actually rip it or pull from his rabbit ears by accident.

Again his instincts fueled by rage and desire won over his mind which led him to yet again cheat on his poor and precious Ochako and even if he won he also technically lost and the girl of the hour got what she wanted out of him. "Can't this day get any worse!?" He shouted to the night sky in anger and frustration.

"Izuku! Izuku, where are you?!"

The boy tensed when hearing a voice calling for him. He turned around with fear and anxiety to the direction the voice came from, but instead of seeing his girlfriend he was met with Tsuyu coming out of the dark woods.

"Ah! There you are-!" She came to a sudden halt when seeing a naked Deku from hip below and an unconscious and clearly sexed up Mina lying on the ground.

There was an uncomfortable silence for a few minutes until Izuku forced himself to open his mouth.

"Um… Hey, Uh, Tsuyu…" That was all he could say in an uneasy manner.

Tsuyu remained quiet for a few moments before her expression changed to an unamused one. "Hmm, you know I'm both surprised and at the same time not so surprised. Should have known that it would be Mina to pull a stun like this, ribbit." She said in a calmed manner as she put a hand on her hip. "Oh well, at least you put her in her place. Trust me I'm telling you she had it coming." She said to the emerald teen, unconcerned for her passed out friend.

Izuku only looked down as his face was dyed red from shame. On the bright side, it wasn't Ochako who caught him red handed so that was something…


"So, we're claiming it?!" Inko said to her best friend Kali with excitement twinkling in her eyes.

"For Blake to become Mrs. Izuku Midoriya? My Oum, yes!" The Faunus woman replied from the other end of the screen in the same way.

Kali sighed. "However, I did tell a bit of a lie to Blake."

"Tell me, tell me!"

"I told Blake that Izuku is thrilled and looks forward to her arrival." she took a breath. "I also said that Izuku is single."

"You little minx! No you didn't!" Inko felt like a jolly schoolgirl reliving her high school days. "It's like high school all over again."

"You can't tell me that your precious little boy deserves something better…than her," replied Kali.

"Well, I am not saying that Izuku can't choose whatever he wants…but it would be a lot better if chooses a prime steak over a hamburger," said Inko. "And besides, just as our meeting one another, it is fate for them to be together."

"Exactly, girlfriend," said Kali. "If we are making this so, then we must use motherly persuasion to make it so. Question is is how!"

"Oh, Kal! Somewhere in that bag of tricks you have something."

"You're being oh too kind, Inko dear. I know you have ideas to sway my future son-in-law with your future daughter-in-law."

"Oh, please. I know you got some catnip to…you know…"

"Inko, stop! Not until they are eighteen!"

"Desperate times call for desperate measures."

The mother Faunus chuckled. "Tactful and charming, I might say. Tell you what, Inko dear. I am going to do you one better." A pregnant pause ensued momentarily. "Don't say anything to Hisashi but Ghira has been in talks with a Pro Hero agency about establishing some business with them. Nothing serious…yet! Just trying to build bridges between our people and Earth."

"Really?!"

"White Fang believes in creating allies, even if we don't exactly belong to it anymore. Ghira just wanted to talk to the Board of Directors," answered Kali. "The thing is…Ghira doesn't interact with Earthlings often and he doesn't want to say anything but he gets a bit shy."

"Aww!"

"Don't tell him that I've said that!" Kali said with a serious frown. Her husband hates to be called shy.

"Point taken and noted."

"Anyway. Ghira would like me to come with him to Earth…."

"No way!" replied Inko as she squealed like a piglet.

"Everything is in the air," replied Kali. "Don't say anything to Hisashi. Especially not to Icchan!"

"My lips are sealed."

"Oh it better be," said Kali. "Anyway, I think once we reunite, then we can give our children a little nudge…just a little. Just enough to tear down their walls, Icchan's to be exact."

"Please, it won't take much for our Blakey and Icchan to be stuck like glue. They just need a nice and sincere talk and boom! Besties again!"

"I will be shopping for a hope chest on her behalf," she said with a cheeky grin. "Anyway, it's late and I have lots to do in the morning. Keep in touch, Inko honey."

"And you do the same, Kal!" replied Inko before she hung up the phone. She looked forward to seeing her precious child and niece being reunited after so long and she was certain her best friend felt the same.


The smell of fresh pine and cottonwood entranced his nose. He took steady breaths as he embraced the nature that unfolded in front of him. Smoke filled the starry sky as he overlooked the hill where a recent incident took place.

There wasn't a need to smoke as he didn't want anyone to detect him. He wanted to give the impression that there wasn't anyone else in the forest except them.

It was a blessing that his phone was on vibrate. He didn't need to guess who was calling him as there weren't many people who had his phone number. He immediately reached into his pocket and retrieved it. He answered it on the fifth buzz.

"Hello," he said sharply.

"Did he put on quite a show?"

A smile appeared on his face. Scratching the scruffiness of his beard, which he should shave soon, he looked into the forest. "Impressed is a lukewarm term, I will say. I will admit that I had my doubts about the boy. However, he did show quite the redemption in the end. Mightily impressed."

"He is a novice, definitely! I see great potential. However, he is unproven."

"I see potential. He has a long road ahead of him. If he only knew what lies within that strength of his."

"In due time! In due time! Are you going to continue to follow him?"

The gentleman blew into the cold air. "He doesn't need a shadow…for now. But I will say this, I will be keeping my eye on him."

"Okay! Report back to us as soon as possible. You are needed."

He didn't respond. He never was the type who liked taking orders. He will get there whenever he feels like doing so. He hung up the phone and placed it back in his pocket. The gentleman continued to watch Izuku as he was helping up the poor pinkette with the frog girl. He nodded to himself in approval. "You're a mighty force but easily sauded. That can be a huge advantage or disadvantage towards you. Just know this kid, you aren't alone. You're being watched!"

The man turned away and took his leave. He kept nodding to himself, knowing that Izuku was going to be a suitable candidate for his plans.

It was only a matter of time before he would make his presence known to the Unknown Alpha Faunus.
