TwinstarDragon: it is. I'm sure that you're not the only one. However, that's a rather integral part of him. Besides, ANYONE would be doing what katsuki did, if their really short and perverted acquaintance from school became a tall chick

"Have you found deku, yet?" she asked. "No, uraraka, i haven't found midoriya, yet," her teacher denied.

Now

"Oh, man," izumi began as she looked at the resistance she got a little while back, [flame resistance lvl 4]. "This skill is pretty much the only reason i've even SURVIVED the middle stratum," she said. Just then, two thing that looked like catfish came out of the lava.

"CATFISH?!" izumi yelled in shock. She used [appraisal] on one of them.

"Huh, those are some decent stats," izumi said. Just then, both of the catfish lunged at izumi, who dodged like her life depended on it (because it does). Once she was in the air, the two catfish got below her, and opened their mouths eagerly. That's when it hit izumi, the [overeating] skill. "I see, they must be able to eat almost anything," she said. She then held her forelegs out to the sides and made semi-large balls of deadly poison.

"If you two wanna eat, then eat THESE!" she yelled, before she threw the poison balls, before continually launching more, until she was certain that they had ingested enough. As she was falling, the two catfish flipped onto their backs and died. Once she landed, the voice spoke again. Proficiency level has been reached. All core stats have been increased. [Small poison taratect lvl 8] can now evolve. Multiple options of evolution available.

[orthocadinaht]

[zoa ele]

"Huh, those are some interesting names for a species," izumi said. She *clicked* on each option, to see what each was like.

[orthocadinaht]

A subspecies of taratect that specializes in using magic. Intelligent enough to use complex traps.

[zoa ele]

A subspecies of taratect that specializes in speed and rot attacks.

Izumi looked at the two different descriptions, as she crossed her forelegs in thought. "Hm~, specializing in magic would be pretty cool. However, it comes at being incredibly large, most likely. Not to mention, i like being in the thick of the fights, while using magic to support. The other option, on the other hand, specializes in speed, and something called 'rot attacks'. If i had to guess, rot attacks are incredibly powerful, but also VERY self-harmful," izumi said. She bowed her head over her forelegs in deep thought.

After thinking for a bit, her head shot up. "Alright, i've decided," she said. "I'll turn into a zoa ele," she decided. Would [poison taratect lvl 7] like to evolve now?

"No thanks, i need to set up defenses, because i'm powerless while evolving," izumi said, postponing her evolution. So, after heading to the entrance to the middle stratum on the upper floor, he made a thick wall of webbing with a small taratect-sized door. Once she went inside and shut the door, she said, "alright, commence evolution!" as soon as she finished saying that, her webbing started to glow with light from the inside.

Horse later, izumi woke up, yawned and stretched, before she left her nest. Her new form is different. Where the little balls of poison were, were now spikes. Half her back is black, as were most of her legs. However, one of the most obvious changes were her forelegs: they changed to scythes. "Oh, man, i'm hungry," izumi complained.

She went down to where she left her prey, and saw that they were untouched. "Thank you," she said in relief. And so, after she got to the bodies of the two catfish, she started to remove the scales from them. After removing the scales for a bit, izumi noticed something. "Oh, shit, these scythe blades are REALLY fucking sharp," izumi said in amazement.

After she says that, she resumes descaling the catfish. After she prepped them, and cooking them, she puts a bite in her mouth. After she tastes it, she cries tears of joy, and the next thing she knows, she's in the middle of a bunch of bones.

"What the hell?!" izumi was dumbfounded. "The LAST thing i remember was having a bite of the catfish and crying tears of joy," she then have a pensive look on her face, as she put the tip of one of her scythes on the corner of her mouth. "Were they so good that they caused me to black out, after i had the first bite?" she pondered.

After a few minutes of thinking, she decided to leave it alone. "Meh, whatever. I'm just glad that i didn't let either one of them escape," she said happily. "Now, it's time to hunt for more food!" she cheered, a scythe in the air.

A little teen girl was walking towards a door. Her attendant opened the door, and allowed her to walk through. She walks to her throne, passing several people. Two of which look like a female izuku (without the freckles) with long and messy green hair that is in a somewhat sloppy braid, and had her eyes closed (if you want a clear idea of what the greenette's outfit looks like, it's the EXACT same outfit that wakaba is revealed to wear, at the battlefield at the end of the current season, or when the shielder explained what happened, when the girl in all white appeared. that outfit). It looked like she had a little girl with white wings on her back and a small horn in the middle of her forehead cuddling with her. The other person of note would be what looks like a guy with bird features for a head, but no bird head, in black samurai clothing, with two horns coming from his forehead.

The teen girl took a seat on her throne, and crossed her hands in a 'gendo-pose'. "Alright, let's get started with the meeting. Go, balto," she said. "Yes, demon lord," the guy, balto, said. "First, let's start with a report on each army corp. First corp," balto said.

A guy with slicked back dark blue hair and an eyepatch over one eye stood up, as if he were at attention in the military. "The first corp is ready with no problem. You need only to give the word, and my troops can march on fort kusorien without delay. That is all," the guy said, before he sat down. Balto looked at the next commander, who stood up.

The second commander was an incredibly seductive brunette woman, with around half her cleavage almost hanging out of her top. the greenette looked at her with disapproval clear in her gaze, even though her eyes were closed. "The second corp is also ready. But i'd like to request a slight postponement, in order for one of our covert operations a chance to bear fruit," the second corp commander said, as she put a hand on her hip.

"How long would you need?" balto asked. "Best case scenario?" she asked. "No longer than 2-3 days from now," she answered. "Proceed, as long as it doesn't disrupt the advance," balto said. "It won't. Thank you, sir," she said, before she sat back down.

"Third corp, report," balto said. "Do we really NEED to go to war? Ain't there a way to avoid it?" the third commander asked. "If there WERE any options, other than war, we'd have pursued it, by now," balto explained. "You sure?" third commander asked nervously.

"Well, there is ONE potential alternative i can think of," the demon lord said. "Really? What is it?" third commander asked in a bit of excitement. "It's simple: for the sake of the planet, and everyone that lives on it, the entire third corp would need to be sacrificed," she stated.

The third commander got really scared, as he started to sweat in fear. "I think that would help us all in the short-term," the demon lord said. "Please, no, anything but that," third commander pleaded. "Then don't second guess your orders, next time," balto reprimanded. "Report," balto said to the third commander. "Everything's good," he said.

The meeting went along those lines, until… "bro, sorry, but i just don't get it," a gruff male voice said. The demon lord casually looked at the source of the male voice in boredom, her head on her fist, elbow on the table and her legs crossed. The source of the voice was a blonde man that looked like a delinquent, with how his furs, armor and golden blonde hair are arranged.

"Bloe, will you-" balto began, but the guy, bloe, wasn't finished. "You've kept the demon race from being killed off single handedly, so why aren't you the demon lord, instead of this rando-chick from who knows where?!" bloe, the commander of the seventh corp said.

"You wretch!" the guy next to him said, as he stood. "Darad-" balto said, but it was futile. "It doesn't matter who they are. We demons serve the demon lord. It's only natural that we do so. Did you forget or lose your mind?" the commander of the 5th commander, darad, asked bloe, while also insulting him.

"So we're just SUPPOSED to obey the 'demon lord' because its natural?" bloe sneered. "whatever, man. I'm just not convinced that she's the 'demon lord," bloe said bluntly.

As the two idiots were arguing, the greenette in white decided to comfort the little girl in her lap as she had started trembling in fear.

The bird guy in the black samurai clothes looked irritated, as he looked away.

"You wretch, you'll pay for that!" darad motioned to the area right next to them, to which bloe agreed, by grabbing his sword, went to the spot, and both of them were about to draw their respective swords when… "my body," darad said. "I can't move," bloe said as he did what he could to look at the demon lord.

"*sigh*, can you two idiots PLEASE not fight over stupid stuff like this?" she asked in a bored tone, as she held a hand up, with two fingers extended. She would have said something else that was rather inappropriate, but there was a little girl in the room, and the mother of the little girl would've beat the hell out of her for doing so.

"The [demon lord] title doesn't justify her authority," balto said. The demon lord put the two extended fingers against her palm, ring finger and pinky extended, instead. As a result, bloe and darad were forced into the position of them being in attention, as if they were in the military.

"It's her power, that gives the [demon lord] title its credibility and substance," balto finished explaining. Bloe and darad were looking at the demon lord in fear. "But hey, if you want to keep wasting our time, i'll break out the [abyss magic]" she threatened, as she manipulated their actions like a puppeteer, and they were the puppets.

"I'm so very sorry, it won't happen, again," darad apologized, as he and bloe were forced to sit. Bloe looked particularly fearful, even when he was able to move when the demon lord removed the thread from his body. She looked away, looking rather bored.

"Now, let's hear a report from the 8th corp," balto said. Just as he finished saying that, the commander of that corp, the guy in black samurai clothes, spoke up. "Everything's running smoothly on my end."

Balto looked at the commander of the 9th corp, a guy covered from head to toe in black scale armor. "The 9th corp is ready to advance. There will be no problems," he said. He then looked at balto out of the corner of his eye.

Balto then looked at the final commander. The commander of the 10th corp. "I can safely say there's no problems with the 10th corp," she said in a soft and incredibly quiet voice, as she soothed the little girl in her lap.

The demon lord then looked around the table. "That's wonderful. Sounds like everything's coming along" she said cheerfully, before she stood up. "Everyone, it looks like we have a war to start," she said, as if she were stating facts.

After the meeting ended, eight of the ten commanders left the room. The only commanders were the guy in black scale armor, and the woman with green hair and white clothing, carrying the little girl in a cradle carry, both arms carrying her securely. The little girl was now asleep.

"So, what now, demon lord?" the greenette asked. "Simple. The humans expect us to simply give up without a fight. So, we will fight," the demon lord said. "Besides, the hero's gonna HAVE to die," she said. The sole guy of the group *huff*ed, as he turned his head to the side.

The motherly one of the three then spoke up. "Even as bad as it would seem, for tenya," she said, before she looked at the girl in her arms, and rocked her gently. The girl in her arms shifted a bit, before she got comfortable. "Mama," she said in her sleep.

Her mother gained a gentle smile. "That's right, eri. Mama's here," she said. The little girl with wings and a single short horn, revealed to be eri, smiled a bit in her sleep, as she snuggled deeper in her mother's embrace.
