Chapter 76: Grounded

Soon, the twins' fight during the provisional exam was on the news as Gentle reported about the aftermath of the incident, which involved Izu and Ochaco going to a counselor to get help on maintaining peace and harmony in a family, the hero council talking to the nominated heroes for the World Billboard Awards to release any kind of tension and to build trust with each other, so the event won't get cancelled. As for Kouna and Hisashi themselves, they were told to go straight to their room until further notice, which they did after giving each other glares. The twins then sat on their beds before looking at pictures of themselves when they were four years old, causing Kouna to drop a tear on her picture while Hisashi immediately freeze his with ice breath. Meanwhile, Izu and Ochaco just came from the counselor, causing everyone, including the press to ask them about the twins' rivalry and ask if they are feeling disgraced that their own two kids just started fighting each other, which also caused Ochaco to start crying as Izu comforted her before telling everyone that he doesn't want to respond to any questions right now in his normal voice.


When Izu and Ochaco reached their mansion, Ochaco immediately starts crying on a couch as Eri, Abbigail, Akumo, and Himanko talk about how they are going to deal with the twins since their fight caused the exam to end abruptly, causing Izu to think for a moment before deciding to ground them until they learn to get along, which also caused Abby to ask if that's a bit harsh. Himanko then told Abby that they need to lay down harsh punishments if the twins can't get along with each other, especially when villains are around to cause trouble. Izu then agrees before telling everyone to take every privilege the twins have after Ultra and Betsy return from their honeymoon, causing the quartet and monsters (including Whobert, Fuego, Peter, and Eternatus) to say right. Soon, the rest of the U.A. Warcraft arrives to check on Izu and Ochaco, causing Ochaco herself to look up from crying into her knees and muttered "twins". Izu then told everyone about his decision to ground the twins indefinitely until they finally get along with each other, which caused everyone to agree with the decision just in time as Ultra and Betsy return from their honeymoon.


A few minutes later, Ultra and Betsy scolded Kouna and Hisashi for not only fighting each other during the provisional license, but immediately got disqualified afterwards, causing the twins themselves to pout before blaming each other for the incident. The twins then glare at each other before preparing to fight again until their parents yelled at them to stop fighting before Izu chew them out for violating the purpose of Harmony Island, which caused the twins themselves to stand tall before apologizing to their family. However, Izu told the twins that sorry isn't going to cut it because they made their mother cry to the point of him fearing that she'll start crying blood. Soon, Izu grounded the twins until they are seen getting along, causing the twins themselves to become shocked as Izu snapped his fingers so the monsters, Eri, Abby, and Akumo can take away their privilege, which includes the tv, Nintendo Switch, Kouna's toys, Hisashi books and experimental equipment, and the twins' phones and plaque. After removing the plaque, Akumo told the twins that they don't deserve a plaque that says "sticking together through thick and thin is what twins does" if they don't see each other as siblings, causing Kouna to be on the verge of crying while Hisashi just glares at her before turning away angrily. Soon after sending the twins to their rooms again, Izu asks his comrades about the nominees for the World Hero Billboard Awards, causing Kiawe to tell him that things are fortunately running smoothly with the nominees, which also caused Izu and Ochaco to say good because they don't want any more fighting all because of the upcoming event or the World Hero Billboard Awards in the future. Ultra then became confused before asking that if this means that the twins' fight isn't because of what happened during the sports festival, causing everyone to calmly shake their heads.
