I-Island: Arrival.
We are now on a plane in the direction to I-Island, Toshinori was resting, especially for the exhausting day ahead. – "Toshinori-san… Toshinori-san… All Might!"- A scream woke him up. A scream woke him up, it was Izumi whom he had invited. Luckily the flight was on a private plane. – "What is it, Young Midoriya?"-
- "We are here. Look!"- Said Izumi while looking through the window. – "The artificial city in movement inhabited by more than 10,000 people, the I-Island. It is a dream to be able to go to I-Island right at the start of vacation."-
- "I didn't think you'd be so excited."- Said Toshinori while looking at the excited girl. – "I'm glad I invited you."-
- "But is it okay that I came with you?"-
- "There is no need to worry. The invitation says I could bring someone with me."-
- "Didn't it mean bring someone from your family?"-
- "We are connected by something greater than blood. The One for All link."-
The conversation was interrupted by the pilot of the plane. – *In a few moments the plane begins to land at the I-Island airport. * -
Following this announcement, Toshinori gets up and begins to transform into his hero form. – "Now the exhausting begins. Luckily I still have my three-hour limit."- Toshinori's body began to grow. – "When the plane lands. I must maintain my usual muscular form. You should also change Young Midoriya. In the back there is a bathroom, you can change there." –
- "Yes!"- Izumi said before going to change into her hero outfit.
…
…
…
After landing, All Might and Izumi were going through the security filters. Both with their hero costumes on. – "Let me ask you something Young Midoriya. Why was I-Island created?" –
- "It was created in order to search for talents around the world and to create great items to help the heroes. This island was made mobile to protect scientists and their research from villains. The security system is like that of Tartarus, that's why no crime has been committed here."- Izumi said.
- "Very well! You know a lot of things Young Midoriya."- Praised All Might.
After passing the security filters, Izumi was admiring the views of I-Island. – "This is so amazing. I can't believe I'm here!"-
- "Even though it is not yet open to the public. I didn't expect to see so many people here." - Said All Might. – "Also, I-Island is different from Japan. Here you can use your quirk as you wish. Apparently, there are several attractions that use quirks. You should see them later."-
- "Yes!"-
- "Very well. The hotel must be..."- All Might said as he saw a map, in that a guide approached them.
- "Welcome to the I-Expo."- In that, the girl realized who she was talking to. – "W-Wait… All Might?"- Hearing this, from one second to another a horde of people began to surround All Might. At first only him but suddenly someone recognized Izumi.
- "Wait, I recognize that girl. If I'm not mistaken, she was one of the four students who defeated the hero killer."-
- "How lucky. All Might brought her with him."-
- "Hahaha. Looks like I'm not the only celebrity here. All right, line up for your autographs."- After an hour of autographs and photos all the people around them left. – "We're finally done."-
- "If I'm honest, I expected them to recognize you and for this to happen. But what I did not expect is that they have recognized me."- Said Izumi.
- "I didn't expect that either. Anyway, it's time to go, we're running late."-
- "Late?"-
- "Yes. I wanted to have a reunion with an old friend I haven't seen for a long time. Would you mind coming with me?"-
- "A friend of All Might? Of course."-
- "Excellent. By the way, I haven't told him about the one for all or how I transferred it to you, so it's a secret."- All Might whispered to Izumi.
- "Is it even a secret for your best friend?"-
- "It is because danger follows those who know the secret of the One for All."-
- "I see… It's even a secret from your friends."- Thought Izumi. Suddenly a voice brings her out of her thoughts.
- "Uncle Might!"- The voice comes from a blonde girl who was approaching them on what appeared to be a pogo stick. – "Uncle Might!"- The girl was waving at them.
The girl is a shapely and attractive pale-skinned young woman of slightly above average height with quite a round face. She has wavy blonde hair which reaches halfway down her back, two shorter pieces she leaves over her shoulders, side-swept bangs that frames her face, aqua-blue eyes with notable upper eyelashes, some slightly longer ones extending on each side and pronounced lower eyelashes. She wears a white short-sleeved dress shirt with plaid cuffs, a large bow of the same design at her neck, and a dark raspberry pink waistcoat. Accompanying these are pale gray Capri pants, under which are a pair of plaid pink socks as well as a pair of heeled brown boots. She also wears a wristwatch and pink, oval-framed glasses.
All Might catches the girl with his hands. - "Melissa!" –
The girl, now identified as Melissa, smiles. – "It's been a long time. I'm glad you were able to come."-
- "Thanks for the invitation"- All Might said. – "I did not recognize you. You've changed a lot."-
- "It's because I'm 17 now. I'm glad you're well. Uncle Might."- Melissa said as All Might put her on the ground.
Meanwhile, Izumi watches the interaction with a surprised face. – "That's All Might's great friend? She looks quite young. Maybe because of her quirk?"-
- "By the way. Where is Dave?"-
- "He is in his laboratory. It seems that he finished the first stage of his investigation from years ago. So, I invited you to the island to celebrate."- Melissa answered.
- "And what is he working on?"-
- "It's a secret. Even I don't know either."-
Meanwhile, Izumi, tired of being ignored, started playing with her phone. – "Oh, Young Midoriya."- This got her attention. – "I present to you the daughter of my great friend. Melissa Shield."-
- "A pleasure to meet you."- Melissa said as she extends her hand to Izumi.
- "A pleasure. I'm Izumi Midoriya, a first-year student of the UA hero course."- Izumi said as she returned Melissa's handshake.
- "UA? That means you're Uncle Might's student! You have a promising future then." –
- "I still have a long way to go for that."-
- "So, what is your quirk?"- Asked Melissa while looking at Izumi's outfit.
- "It's a simple raw power increase."-
- "Your suit is great, but it's kind of orthodox. I also do not see any kind of support element. Maybe I could help you with something."- Melissa said as she inspected Izumi's outfit.
All Might coughed a bit to get the girl's attention. – "Sorry to interrupt you but I think it's about time."-
- "S-sorry. I got carried away."- Melissa said as she put away her pogo stick, which shrunk to be put away. – "We must hurry if we want to surprise dad. Follow me."- After that, Melissa started to head to her father's lab. Izumi and All Might followed her.
…
…
…
David Shield's laboratory.
David is a tall man of an average build, with notable wrinkles on his forehead and defined nasolabial folds and tear troughs. He has small sky-blue eyes and short, unruly honey brown hair with two prominent tufts curving outwards from the top of his forehead, a short goatee on his chin and wide-rimmed square glasses on his face. He wears a plain dark blue shirt with a single breast pocket, the two top buttons left casually undone, and the sleeve-cuffs unbuttoned and rolled up to just below his elbows. He wears a pair of pale gray-blue jeans, a dark belt with a silver buckle and navy-blue sneakers with white soles, decorated with a red stripe near the toe.
He was looking at an old photo of All Might when suddenly. – "Dad!"- David turns to look at his daughter in the doorway of his lab. – "Melissa? What are you doing here?"-
- "I'm here to celebrate the completion of the first stage of your investigation. So, I brought a special person."- His daughter said. Suddenly a very familiar laugh was heard.
- "I'm here, trembling with emotion for our reunion!"- All Might said as he struck a heroic pose, only to then hug his old friend. – "Good to see you again Dave!"-
- "Toshi, I can't believe you're here."- David said as he bumped his fist with All Might's.
- "Well, you have Melissa to thank."- All Might said before addressing Izumi. – "Young Midoriya, let me introduce myself to one of my best friends. David Shield."-
The girl, for her part, was in fangirl mode when she saw Davis. – "I know who he is! It's Professor David Shield! He is an outstanding scientist in the investigation of Quirks and who also won a Nobel Prize. He was your partner when you were in the United States. In addition to making your costumes, the one from the early era, the bronze age, the silver age, and the golden age! I can't believe I get to meet him in person! This is too cool!" - This left everyone surprised by everything the girl knew, as well as making David somewhat uncomfortable when approaching him. Realizing her position Izumi blushed a little in embarrassment. – "S-sorry. I think I got carried away."-
- "Don't worry. Looks like I don't need to introduce myself."- However, for a few seconds he turned to see All Might. – "Hey Melissa, why don't you show Midoriya around I-Expo? I'd like to talk to my old friend for a bit."-
- "Sure! Follow me Midoriya. "- Melissa said as she left the lab, followed by Izumi. – "How should I call you? Midoriya-chan? Izumi-chan?"-
After thinking about it for a bit, Izumi replied. - "You can call me Deku."-
- "Deku? That's a weird nickname. You can call me Melissa."-
- "O-Okay."-
Meanwhile at David's laboratory., All Might returned to his weak form.
- "This is somewhat exhausting. Luckily I still have my three-hour limit."- Said Toshinori.
- "You told me about this in the mail, but I didn't think it was that bad."- Said a concerned David.
…
…
…
Somewhere at the I-Expo.
- "This is incredible. It doesn't look like an island built by humans. There are quite a few things and several heroes too."- Said an excited Izumi.
- "That's how it is. We have all the comforts of a real city. This is because the scientists and their families have a confidentiality agreement, so they cannot leave."-
- "I see... Still, this is amazing!"-
- "There will also be a party for industry guests in a couple of days. But I guess you will be there. You came with Uncle Might after all."-
- "I guess that's why he told me to bring formal clothes."- However, her face changed to one of concern. – "Oh no! I forgot to bring my formal clothes!"-
Melissa giggled at this. - "Don't worry. I can lend you one of my dresses."-
- "Thank you."-
- "Come on. There are still a lot of things to see."- Melissa said as she showed Izumi the rest of the place.
While they were looking at an invention, Izumi decided to ask Melissa something. – "I assume you attend the academy on I-Island."-
- "Yes. I want to be a scientist like my dad. Speaking of my dad. You looked like a fangirl when you met him."-
This made Izumi blush with embarrassment. – "Sorry. I can't help it, it's a bad habit of mine."-
However, their conversation was interrupted by someone. – "I see you're having fun, Midori."- Seeing this, the girls turn around to see Mina, in her hero costume, with a slightly annoyed face and a forced smile.
- "M-Mina-san?! What are you doing here?"-
- "I see you're having fun, Midori."- Mina said without changing her expression.
Izumi couldn't say anything because someone else called their attention. – "I see you're here too, Midoriya."- It was Momo, also in her hero costume.
- "Why didn't you tell us you'd be here?"- Jiro was here too, just like the others, in her hero costume.
- "S-Sorry. I didn't had time. By the way, this is Melissa, she was showing me around."-
- "Your friends?"- Melissa asked.
- "Yes. They are also my classmates. By the way, don't tell them I came with All Might."- Said Izumi.
- "Okay. Hey, why don't we go get something to drink?"- The blonde girl asked.
…
…
…
Some local cafeteria.
- "So, all of you have worked with professional heroes. Cool."- Said Melissa.
- "Well... it was training more than anything else. The only one who had a real experience of all of us here is Midoriya."- Momo answered.
- "It's still amazing.". Melissa said.
- "Here are your drinks."- A waiter said. However, the girls recognized his voice and were surprised to see who it was or rather who they were.
- "Kaminari-kun? Mineta-kun?"- Said a surprised Izumi.
- "What are you two doing here?"- Asked Mina.
- "They need part-time staff for the exhibition and that's why we applied."- Answered Kaminari.
- "We can earn extra money, and who knows, maybe have a date with a pretty girl from around here."- This earned a few glares from the girls.
- "Well, maybe that's your reason, I came because, well, who would want to miss the I-Expo if they had the opportunity to come?"- Said Kaminari.
- "I guess they are also your classmates."- Said Melissa.
- "Of course. We too will be heroes."- Mineta said as he approached the blonde girl.
- "Seriously. You need to stop being so perverted."- Said Kaminari.
Mineta was about to reply but was interrupted by someone. – "Why do you stop to talk?"- It was Iida, who was in his hero outfit and was running towards them. – "If you are going to earn money, you must work harder!"-
- "Iida-kun. You came too." – Said Izumi.
- "Of course. I come from a family of heroes, so we were invited. Although my family is busy so I'm the only one who came."-
- So, you too Iida-kun? I also received invitations because my father is a shareholder of the sponsors of the I-Expo."- Said Momo.
- "And since Yaomomo had two extra invitations, among the girls we competed to see who would go with her, and that is why we are here."- Jiro said as Mina nodded. – "Although strangely Kinoko refused to participate."-
Izumi was about to speak but an explosion caught her attention. Arriving at the place they could see that it was a type of competition then the announcer began to speak. - * Completion time, 25 seconds. Second place! *- Suddenly on the screen appeared Kinoko, of course, in her hero outfit.
- "Komori-san?"- Said a surprised Izumi.
- "Another one of your classmates?"- Asked Melissa while the others were looking at the screens.
- "Yes."-
- * Now, the next competitor is... *- At that moment Yamikumo entered the arena. This surprised everyone.
- "Atanagi-kun?!"-
- *Ready, set… GO! * - After the announcement, Yamikumo started shooting several fireballs at the robots and in a matter of seconds he had destroyed them all. - * A-amazing! Completed it in 10 seconds! We have a new first place! * - Said the announcer.
Yamikumo was walking to the exit when... – "Yami-kun look, it's Midoriya and the others."- Kinoko said while pointing at the audience. Grabbing Kinoko around the waist, Yamikumo used his telekinesis to go with the others. – "You are also here?"- Yamikumo asked.
- "Yes. Mina and I live thanks to Yaomomo. Iida is here because his family, Kaminari and Mineta came for a part time job. The only one we don't know how she came is Izumi."- Jiro explained.
- "I guess they were invited, is that why you turned down my invitation?"- Asked Momo to Kinoko.
- "Almost. Yami-kun was invited because he won the sports festival, but he could invite someone and since his family couldn't, he invited me."- Kinoko said with a slight blush on her face.
As the rest spoke, Yamikumo approached Izumi. – "I guess you came along with All Might."- He whispered to her.
- "Yes. But don't tell anybody. Please."- Izumi replied. Yamikumo nodded to her request.
- "Hey, why don't you try it too, Midori?"- Mina said to Izumi. - "I bet you'll do great."-
Impossible to say no to her crush. Izumi accepts the proposal. – * Looks like we have a new contestant! * - Preparing, Izumi activates the Full Cowl at 25%. – *Ready, set… GO! *- After the announcement Izumi shot out and using the rocks, she propelled herself towards each robot, destroying them with one hit each. After a few seconds she lands on the platform and all the robots destroyed. – "Amazing! 12 seconds! Second place! * -
Everyone screamed with excitement, except for one person. Melissa had noticed that Izumi was holding back and not using her full power. - "It has incredible raw power. It looks like Uncle Might's. However..."- She thought.
- "That was amazing Midori!" - Cheered Mina to Izumi who just came back.
- "T-Thanks. I was close to first place."-
- *Amazing! * - The announcement got everyone's attention. - *Ten seconds! He's tied for first place! * - Said the announcer while Todoroki was standing in the arena. He froze all the robots. – "Todoroki-kun!"- That caught the boy's attention.
- "I see all of you came"- Said Todoroki, he was now with the rest. – "I came here to represent my father."-
- "It must be great to be at UA."- Said Melissa.
…
…
…
Some time later.
It was 6 pm and the I-Expo had closed for today, in the cafeteria Kaminari and Mineta were on the floor totally tired. – "It's just the pre-opening and we're already very tired."- At that moment the rest arrived to see them.
- "You guys work really hard today."- Iida said as he handed them two tickets.
- "What is this?"- Asked Mineta.
- "Invitations for the party in a couple of days."- Answered Momo.
- "For us?"- Asked Kaminari.
- "Melissa got some invitations for you. As well as a day off tomorrow so you can enjoy the I-Expo with the rest of us. The party is in a couple of days. So, we thought why not enjoy the other days to go out together. "- Said Mina.
- "Thank you!" - Both boys thanked. – "Our work has been rewarded."-
- "Now that everything is settled, I am leaving. See you tomorrow."- Iida said as he walked away. Todoroki did the same.
- "Deku-san."- Melissa caught the girl's attention. - "Could you join me for a moment? I would like to show you something."-
- "S-sure. I guess I'll see you tomorrow."- Izumi said before saying goodbye to the rest and follow Melissa.
Mina stared at Izumi and Melissa with an annoyed face. – "Those two seem to get along very well."- She said.
- "You seem to be annoyed that Izumi is spending a lot of time with Melissa. Don't tell me you're jealous?"- Said Kinoko in a teasing tone.
This caused a purple blush to appear on Mina's face. – "Eeeeh?! W-What are you talking about?"-
- "I think you like Izumi."-
Mina's blush increased upon hearing this. - "W-What?! O-Of course not! I only feel admiration for her and... and... is it that obvious?"-
- "Yes, yes it is."- To everyone's surprise it was Yamikumo who said this.
- "You see? Even Yami-kun noticed and he is very bad for romance."-
- "It's just, how can I not fall in love with her? The girl's the most determined to be a hero out of all of us! She's strong, brave when it counts, smart, and a total sweetheart. Sure, she's timid and a little bit on the dorkier side, but that just adds to the charm."- Mina said while thinking about Izumi.
- "See. Totally in love."- Kinoko said as she pointed at Mina. – "Do not worry. Yaomomo, Jiro and I will help you" – Kinoko said as the other two girls nodded.
- "Thank you very much girls!" –
- "Ashido and Izumi huh?"- Yamikumo thought before nodding with a slight smile. – "I approve it. Ashido will be a good influence for Izumi's confidence and Izumi will be a good influence for Ashido's studies." –
…
…
…
I-Island Academy Campus.
- "This is the campus of the academy where I go."- Melissa said as she showed Izumi around the place. – "And this is my experiment lab."-
Upon entering the room Izumi is surprised to see the number of machines that were in the place. - "Wow, this is great. I can't believe you're doing research in a place like this."- In that Izumi realizes the trophies that Melissa had. – "You really are talented."-
- "I do not think so. My grades are not that good."- Melissa said as she searched for something among her experiments. – "That's why I'm studying very hard. I also wanted to be a hero before this."-
- "Really?"-
- "Yes, but I give up that dream. Because I'm quirkless."-
This revelation surprised Izumi. – "You are quirkless?"-
- "Yes, my quirk did not manifest despite being five years old. So, they took me to the doctor. There they told me that I was one of the quirkless people."- Melissa said as she approached Izumi with something in her hands. - "At first, I was surprised, however it was there that my true dream manifested, to be like my father. I decided to become someone who helps heroes. With my inventions I will be able to indirectly save people."-
In that Melissa opens the box that she had with her showing its interior to Izumi. – "I made this support artifact a long time ago. I did it thinking of Uncle Might."- She said as she places the object, which looks like a bracelet, on Izumi's right wrist. – "Try pressing this button."- Melissa said as she pointed to a button on the bracelet.
Paying attention, Izumi presses the button of the bracelet, once pressed the bracelet begins to glow and grows to surround Izumi's fist and right arm. – "What is this?"-
- "If I had to give it a name, I would call it Full Gauntlet. When I saw you in the attraction, I could see that you limited yourself when using your quirk. So, I thought maybe your quirk is too much for your body and you should limit yourself."- This surprised Izumi. – "The Full Gauntlet is made to withstand up to three hits from Uncle Might. The Full Gauntlet is made to withstand up to three hits from Uncle Might. If you use it, you can use all your power without fear of hurting yourself. So please, keep it."-
- "Are you sure. Isn't that important to you?"- Izumi asked.
- "That's why I want you to keep it. So, you can become a hero who saves everyone."-
Hearing this, Izumi smiles. - "In that case. Thank you so much!"- Suddenly Izumi's cell phone starts ringing. – "What are you doing Young Midoriya? It's already a little late. I'll wait for you at the hotel."- It was All Might. – "Sorry Melissa. I have to go. I guess I'll se you tomorrow with the rest."- Izumi said as she left the place on the way to the hotel where she is staying with All Might.
…
…
…
Grand Hero Hotel.
Izumi had finished changing into her pajamas. Leaving the bathroom, he found Toshinori lying on his bed while watching television. Luckily the room had two beds.
Seeing Izumi Toshinori smiled at her. – "How did you go?"-
- "It was pretty cool. Melissa in great... By the way, I met several of my classmates."-
- "Really? Who?"-
- "Yaoyorozu-san, Jiro-san, Kaminari-kun, Mineta-kun, Komori-san, Mina-san, Iida-Kun, Todoroki-kun and Atanagi-kun are also here."-
- "I see."-
- "By the way… We plan to go out tomorrow all together. I wanted to ask your permission to go with them."-
To this Toshinori laughed. - "You don't need to ask permission for that. I didn't bring you here to be with me all the time, you're also allowed to enjoy the I-Expo however you want."-
- "Thanks!"- Izumi said and then lay down on the other bed. – "I better get some sleep. Good night Toshinori-san."- After this, Izumi fell asleep.
- "Good night Young Midoriya"-
…
…
…
Next Day.
Somewhere at I-Expo
The next day, the group of teenagers was having breakfast. Thanks to their invitations they had free breakfast, lunch, and dinner during their stays.
- "So, guys, what do you want to do today?"- Asked Kaminari.
- "The girls were thinking about going to the beach."- Said Mina.
- "That's a great idea. This is an Island so there are a lot of beaches. I know one that is pretty good."- Said Melissa.
- "The beach. Girls. Bikinis!"- Mineta thought. However, a hand on his shoulder brought him out of his thoughts.
Yamikumo looks at Mineta with a suspicious face. – "I hope you're not thinking of something perverted."-
- "N-No. Of course not."- Mineta responded with fear.
- "So, it's decided. We're going to the beach! Prepare your swimsuits!" - Mina said in an excited tone.
- "I…I didn't bring mine."- Izumi said.
- "What? Why?"- Asked Kinoko.
- "I didn't think I would need to bring one."-
- "Girls, we have a new mission. Girls, we have a new mission. Help Midori find a swimsuit."- Mina said, the rest of the girls agreed to this idea.
- "In that case, how about we meet on the beach in about two hours?"- Asked Iida.
- "It's settled then."- After finishing breakfast the girls took Izumi to get a swimsuit.
…
…
…
Swimsuit store.
The girls were choosing the swimsuit for Izumi. In the end they decided one each for Izumi to try them on and in the end they all choose which one suits her best. Izumi agreed since she wouldn't know how to pick a good swimsuit.
- "Alright girls let's see the one Yaomomo chose first."- After these words Izumi left the dressing room. The swimsuit is a black one piece one, it had white details that made it look elegant.
- "Too fancy."- The girls said.
- "Next. The one Jiro-chan choose."- This swimsuit is also black. However, it was in two pieces and both pieces were joined by what appeared to be a grid of cloth. In addition, the upper part had a skull in each breast.
- "It doesn't look bad, but I don't think the design matches Izumi-chan."- Kinoko said.
- "Agreed"- The other girls said.
- "Next. The one Kinoko-chan choose."- The swimsuit is white in one piece. Two straps supported it from the shoulders in addition to having a type of skirt.
- "Cute"- Mina thought with a slight blush.
- "It's cute but the color doesn't convince me."- Momo said.
- "The skirt doesn't match."- Said Melissa.
- "Next. The one Melissa choose."- The swimsuit is quite stylish. It is two pieces of light blue color. The lower part was supported by a metal ring on each side.
- "I like it, but the color doesn't match."- Said Kinoko. The rest of the girls agreed.
- "Next. The one I choose."- Mina said. The swimsuit is two pieces. It is light green; the top part was a simple bikini while the bottom part was a swimsuit skirt.
The girls were speechless. – "Perfect!"- All the girls said in unison.
Once this matter was settled. The girls headed to the beach.
…
…
…
Beach.
The boys are waiting for the girls on the beach that they agreed on. Each one with their swimsuit on.
Iida has a blue swimming trunk plus a swimming shirt; however, he is also wearing a swim cap as well as a pair of goggles around his neck.
Kaminari's swimsuit is black with yellow vertical stripes. In addition to having a dark yellow shirt.
Mineta's is purple with a white t-shirt.
Shoto's swimsuit is dark blue in color with a white tank top.
Lastly, Yamikumo has a black swimsuit as well as a dark green sweatshirt with the sleeves rolled up and the zipper open, revealing his scars.
A few minutes later the girls arrived with their respective swimsuits.
Momo's swimsuit is a one-piece red.
Izumi's is the one she bought only that she was wearing a white shirt on top, she still wasn't comfortable showing off her body.
Mina's is similar to Izumi's but is white instead.
Jiro's swimsuit is a yellow two-piece.
Kinoko had a red two-piece swimsuit with white dots.
Lastly, Melissa wore a light blue one-piece swimsuit, similar to Momo's.
It should be noted that some of the boys could not stop looking at the girls. Mineta for obvious reasons. Todoroki blushed slightly at the sight of Momo, but he kept a straight face. Kaminari couldn't take his eyes off Jiro and Yamikumo admired Kinoko in her swimsuit. The only one who had no reaction was Iida.
Once reunited each one begins to pass the time as they wanted.
Iida started doing a few laps in the sea, his argument is that it also helps him train. Izumi, Mina, Kinoko and Kaminari started making sandcastles. Momo and Melissa were sitting on a towel on the sand while chatting about trivial things. Mineta was spying on the other girls who were on the beach, he didn't do it with the girls which he came with since he was under threat. Yamikumo, Todoroki and Jiro were just sunbathing on some loungers.
An hour passed and Yamikumo was still lying on the lounger. However, three people approached the group that was sunbathing.
They were Momo, Kaminari and Kinoko. – "Hey guys. We decided to play a game of volleyball. Why don't you join?"- Asked Kaminari. – "Jiro, do you want to team up with me?"-
- "And what about the rest?"- She asked.
- "Mina already teamed up with Midoriya and Iida offered to team up with Melissa."- He explained. – "I would ask Todoroki or Atanagi, but I think they wouldn't let me."- He said while pointing at Momo and Kinoko.
- "Fine. But don't try anything funny."-
- "Yami-kun! Team up with me!"- Kinoko said to her boyfriend.
- "Okay."- He simply said.
- "Todoroki-kun… do you want to team up with me?"- Momo asked to the boy.
- "I don't know if it's a good idea. I never learned to play any kind of sport."-
- "You should accept Todoroki."- Yamikumo interrupted. – "Otherwise, there is only one other person for Yaoyorozu to team up with."- He said while being dragged by the arm by Kinoko.
In that Todoroki turned to see Mineta. The decision was clear. - "So... against whom do we go first?"-
Several matches have passed; however, the wins and losses were not counted as they were just playing for fun. Now it was Yamikumo and Kinoko against Mina and Izumi.
The game was happening normally. In an attempt to score a point Yamikumo hit the ball in a specific way, once on the other side Izumi was about to intercept it, however, at the last moment the ball took a spin and changed direction managing to avoid Izumi. Giving victory to Kinoko and Yamikumo.
However, this was not the important thing. Mina had also tried to intercept the ball, however, as it changed direction, the girl collided with Izumi and they both fell to the ground. One on top of the other.
Izumi opened her eyes after the fall, however the views she found were not from the sky, Mina had fallen on top of her, however there was a detail... her breasts were on top of her face. Needless to say, the girl nearly fainted.
- "I'm sorry Midori."- Mina said, however realizing her position she couldn't help but blush. – "S-Sorry!" – Izumi couldn't even speak. She was too stunned.
The rest laughed at this interaction, except Mineta, who was dying of jealousy, and Yamikumo and Todoroki, who were just smiling slightly. It's so obvious that these girls have feelings for each other, the only ones who didn't realize it were them. In the end it is true that love makes you blind.
After this accident the rest of the day passed normally until lunchtime.
The group decided to eat at a restaurant on the beach. Momo and Melissa ordered lobster for lunch. Yamikumo and Izumi ordered the garlic-seasoned shrimp. Kinoko ordered shrimp seasoned with different types of mushrooms. Todoroki simply ordered fried fish. Jiro ordered a shrimp cocktail with oysters. Kaminari ordered grilled octopus. Finally, Mineta ordered breaded fish.
- "Hey Yami-kun, can I try yours?"- Kinoko asked.
- "Sure"- Yamikumo said. However, the boy didn't expect the girl to just open her mouth. She was waiting for him to put the food in her mouth. Somewhat awkwardly, Yamikumo grabbed a shrimp and fed it to Kinoko.
- "Thanks"- The girl said as she winked at her boyfriend. The boy just kept a serious face; however, he couldn't hide the blush on his cheeks.
After lunch and after spending a couple more hours on the beach, the guys decided to go somewhere else. After changing into more comfortable clothes, the group began to walk through the I-Expo. In that, Melissa remembered something.
- "Hey, we should go see the fireworks."-
- "Will there be fireworks?"- Asked an excited Mina.
- "Yes, they will be released to celebrate the opening of I-Expo to the public."-
- "In that case we should go."- Said Momo. They all agreed with that idea.

Nighttime.
The group was on the roof of Melissa's academy, that place was perfect to watch the fireworks. The group brought with them various things such as food and drinks to be able to enjoy the show more in addition to having something to do while the show started.
- "Okay. It's time!"- Melissa announced while sitting with the rest. They all stopped what they were doing to watch the show. In that several fireworks light up the night sky. The show was quite beautiful, and everyone was glad to have seen this. But the most important thing is that they were with friends.
Thanks to the situation, Yamikumo grabbed Kinoko around the waist and pressed her against his body. The girl was surprised by this gesture, her boyfriend was not much to do these things. However, happy for what happened, she only limited herself to resting her head against him.
While the show is going on, Mina will take Izumi's hand without realizing it, both girls would be surprised by this and would turn to see each other, while they looked into each other's eyes they could feel that the world was just the two of them. Izumi, to Mina's surprise, smiled a little with a slight blush on her cheeks. Mina returned the same gesture. As if there was nothing else in the world the girls' faces slowly began to come together. Closing their eyes, both girls' lips finally met.
To their luck, no one had seen this interaction as they were focused on the fireworks. Well, almost anyone. Yamikumo watched this interaction, however he decided to give the girls their time, just smiling and turning to the fireworks.
After a few seconds, the girls parted their lips, a blush can be seen on their faces, but they were not embarrassed, both just smiled at each other.
Suddenly a large firework caught their attention. The final firework. Exploding the word "I-Expo" could be seen in the night sky. After a few seconds the show was over.
- "That was amazing!"- Kaminari cheered.
- "Yes, it was."- Mina said in a low voice as she looked at Izumi who just blushed.
- "It was definitely something to remember. However, I think it's time to rest, it's already a little late." -
- "Go spoilers, but I think you're right."- Said Jiro.
- "Tomorrow is the party, right?"- Asked Momo.
- "Correct, if I'm not mistaken it's at 7:30 at night."- Said Melissa.
- "In that case, how about we meet tomorrow at 7:00 in the tower?"- Said Iida.
- "That's a great idea." – Said Kinoko the rest agreed with this.
- "All right, see you tomorrow then."- Iida said as he walked away. The rest of the group did the same.

Grand Hero Hotel
Toshinori and Izumi's room.
- "Aaaaaaah!" – That scream woke Toshinori up. He quickly turned to see who had yelled, only to see Izumi bounded on the bed tossing and turning while she had her hands on her face, presumably covering a blush. – "I guess something happened."-
- "I kissed her!"- She said.
- "I don't understand, you kissed who?"-
- "I kissed Mina!"-
- "Oh. I see… Is that a good thing or bad?"-
- "I don't know! I like Mina but now I don't know what to say when I see her tomorrow at the party!"-
- "That's where you catch me off guard. I wouldn't know what to recommend. I'm not very good at this romance thing."- Toshinori said while scratching the back of his neck. – "All I can say is follow your heart. If you follow its lead, I assure you that you will do the right thing."-
This left the girl thinking for a moment. - "You are right! Tomorrow I will talk to her and tell her my feelings."-
- "Perfect... now sleep."- Toshinori said as he went back to sleep.
Izumi went to bed and after a few seconds she fell asleep. Without knowing what awaited her tomorrow.

Author notes.
So yeah. Here we are.

Chapter 23 finished. At first, I thought of doing all of I-Island in a single chapter, but then I thought and decided to split it into two and make some characters develop a bit as well as our protagonists having some fun before the bad happens.
What did you think? Good? Bad? Should I kill myself?
The next chapter we will go with Wolfram and all the chaos.
By the way. I have an announcement for you.
