105 Chapter 104

With the Test of Courage requiring students to navigate a dark forest path in groups of two, Izuku took advantage of the fact his Class had an odd number of participants to nominate himself as a scarer. However, instead of actively participating in the event, he accompanied Tomoko to the far side of the course, watching over her as she watched over everyone with her Search Quirk.

Seated in a tree and dangling her legs restlessly, Tomoko asked, "So, what do you think might happen? Or was that just an excuse to get me alone...?"

"I wish..." replied Izuku, standing on the opposite side of the tree with his back to it, arms crossed. His memories of the canon were hazy, but one of the events he remembered clearly was Tomoko getting severely injured, abducted, and having her Quirk stolen during the League of Villains' night raid. There was a fair chance the night raid wouldn't occur, as All-for-One seemed to be preparing for the MWT phenomenon, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Falling backward and dangling from her tree branch upside down, Tomoko noticed that Izuku had a severe expression, eyes closed as he focused on listening to their surroundings. She thought he had just wanted to flirt and fool around a bit, but he appeared to be pretty serious...

Sensing Tomoko's movements, Izuku opened his eyes, looking up slightly to find the green-haired girl staring at him with her almost perfectly round eyes. It was a little creepy, especially with her eyes emitting a faint yellow glow, but he managed a smile, nearly causing her to fall out of the tree as he teased, "Thinking about the taste of my dick?"

Releasing her legs and flipping onto her feet, Tomoko looked up at Izuku and remarked, "And here I thought you were the super serious type while on duty." Then, while getting 'very' close to Izuku, close enough that her fairly modest breasts were pressed against him, she added, "You're really handsome, Midoriya-kun. Like, super duper handsome..."

With Tomoko staring at him unblinkingly, an expectant look on her face, a faint smile developed across Izuku's as he replied, "You're really cute as well, Tomoko...also, call me Izuku from now on..."

Swaying her head from side to side like a metronome, Tomoko inspected Izuku's face as she asked, "Are you saying that to make me happy, or do you really mean it? Most people get reeeeeally unnerved by how big and round my eyes are. My Quirk also enhances my vision, so I can see in the dark clear enough to make out the pores on a person's face..."

Raising his brows, Izuku asked, "Are you testing me?" before surprising Tomoko quite a bit as he picked her up by the pits of her arms, adding, "Put your legs and arms around me..."

Though she swallowed audibly, Tomoko did as Izuku instructed, allowing him to move his hands to her butt as he added, "First of all, I find you very charming. Your eyes don't bother me in the slightest. Rather, if you look at the girls in my...entourage, you'll notice quite a few have large or peculiar eyes. I personally find them very attractive..."

Swallowing a second time, Tomoko meekly reminded, "We're on duty right now..."

Nodding in affirmation, Izuku's voice softened and became deeper as he replied, "You're right..but since you seem uncertain, allow me to allay your concerns...just a bit..."

Punctuating his words, Izuku pressed his lips to Tomoko's, surprising her quite a bit despite easing into things slowly. However, since her eyes were already open to their limits, her expression didn't appear to change in the slightest. Instead, she briefly became statuesque before gradually closing her eyes, tightening her hold around Izuku's neck as she enjoyed her first kiss, at least with a guy, in more than seven years. It was a lot better than she remembered...

With Class 1-A finishing their test of courage, swapping places with 1-B, and more than three hours passing, Izuku's alertness began to wane. He didn't drop his guard, but with Tomoko sitting in his lap, resting her head against his chest as he combed his fingers through her hair, he felt calm and relaxed.

("Looks like the League of Villains isn't a thing in this universe...at least not 'publically'...") thought Izuku. Similar thoughts had crossed his mind when Ida's brother wasn't crippled, but the distinct lack of Nomu-based attacks pretty much confirmed that All-for-One was amassing his forces, building an army in secret.

Shifting his gaze skyward, Izuku's Intuition was triggered by the notion that Shigaraki would receive the All-for-One surgery before their next encounter. Unfortunately, he had only seen up to Season 5 of the anime, never read the manga, nor watched any of the movies. He knew Shigaraki had become ridiculously OP based on some youtube videos he had seen, but he was unfamiliar with the circumstances surrounding the change. All he knew for certain was that Mirko had risked life and limb to interrupt his transformation before it could be completed...

Imagining his favorite rabbit losing one of her beautiful arms and legs, Izuku's expression soured. Rumi had become more conscientious after having her Intelligence increased, but her core nature hadn't changed. If push came to shove, she would push harder than just about anyone else, charging forward like a berserker even with all her limbs cut off...

Sensing the change in Izuku's mood, Tomoko raised her head from his chest, looking up at him with her piercing yellow eyes as she asked, "Did you sense something?"

Shaking his head, Izuku replied, "The opposite. There's so little going on that I'm slowly becoming complacent. Cuddling with you like this is very relaxing, almost therapeutic, so my thoughts are beginning to wander..."

Adopting a broad, visibly gratified smile, Tomoko revealed, "Well, the Test of Courage is just about over. The last pair should reach the halfway mark in five minutes, so we can start heading back in ten to fifteen."

Gaining a smile of his own, Izuku brought his face closer to Tomoko's as he replied, "Fifteen it is..." before taking the initiative to start making out a second time. He kept the kiss fairly tame so as not to lose awareness of his surroundings, but he also slipped his hands beneath the fabric of Tomoko's panties, caressing her ass directly as she intentionally rubbed her crotch against his bulge...

After legitimately exhausting himself throughout the day, Izuku sank into the water up to his chin when it came time to bathe. Fortunately, none of the guys in his Party suspected he had spent the day fooling around since an increase of two Levels was fairly noteworthy. Instead, Kirishima asked, "You okay, man? You look beat..."

With nearly everyone in that bath looking over in response to Kirishima's statement, Izuku lazily replied, "I spent the day fighting against hundreds of those 'Magical Beasts.' I didn't even eat lunch or dinner, so my Vitality hasn't had a chance to recover..."

"Magical Beasts? Do you mean those things that attacked us on the first day?" asked Kirishima. "If so, you're a beast, man. I can take out one or two pretty easily, but hundreds? Jeez..."

"It was worth it, though..." replied Izuku. "Since Pixie-bob is in the Party, we were able to experiment with Experience Sharing. Now that we have a better understanding of how it works, everyone in the Party will probably be doing some joint Experience grinding in the future..."

Hearing Izuku's words, most of the boys present, especially those in his Party, gained anticipatory looks. One of the few exceptions was Mineta, who, as usual, could only think about girls. Thus, shortly after Izuku had finished speaking, he groaned, "What's the point? You stole all the girls in Class and have even extended your clutches to the teachers. At this rate, you'll even steal the girls from Class 1-B..."

Furrowing his brows, Izuku rose to a seated position, meeting the purple-haired youth's resent-filled gaze as he retorted, "Even if I didn't, none of them would date someone as petty and vindictive as you. I was going to recommend a Doctor that could help alter your appearance and increase your height, but now I feel like a fool for ever concerning myself with your future. You genuinely don't give two shits about becoming a real Hero, do you? All you think about is girls, girls, girls, even though you haven't done a damn thing to deserve their care or affection..."

Adopting an aggrieved, teary-eyed look, Mineta exclaimed, "You're just lucky you were born handsome and attained a powerful Quirk! Without them, you'd be less than dog shit...!"

Without waiting for Izuku's response, Mineta, once again, ran from the bath with tears streaming down his face. This time, however, Izuku didn't feel an iota of sympathy for him. Instead, he thought, ("Now I know how the Principal was planning to fit Bakugo 'and' Toga into our Class. There's no way this little shit is sticking around...")

Though it was possible to expand their sizes, the current Department of Heroics classrooms could only seat twenty students. Aoyama appeared to have been dealt with, but that only produced a single vacancy. There was a chance that Nezu was banking on Izuku passing his CBEs, meaning his desk would no longer be occupied, but now that he had been green-lit to invite everyone to his Party, someone like Mineta had no place in the Hero Course...

Similar to the previous day, Izuku's fourth day of training was set to revolve around fighting Earth Beasts produced by Ryuko. The difference was that Rumi wasn't there waiting for them when they arrived. Instead, it was just him and Ryuko alone, prompting the latter to pounce on him the moment they reached their destination.

Fortunately, though he wasn't able to prevent Ryuko from stealing his lips and grinding against him vigorously, Izuku managed to talk her out of an early morning fuckathon. He truthfully didn't mind, but as their reason for being there was to train, he asked her to stay focused until they gained at least a single Level.

Undoubtedly as a result of her 'frustration,' Ryuko's Earth Beasts were a lot stronger and faster than they were the previous day. This increased the amount of Experience they awarded, but Izuku found himself on the back foot in multiple instances as Ryuko mixed things up by shifting the terrain around and creating traps. Izuku got 'even' with her later on, but he was fairly certain that's what Ryuko wanted as she giggled like an idiot after he fucked her silly...

Unable to sleep properly the previous night, Rumi, wearing a facemask and a hat that concealed her ears, paid a visit to a private Heteromorphic Doctor who specialized in determining whether or not a couple's Quirks and physiologies were compatible. The panda-headed woman was 'very' surprised when she found out her client was 'Rabbit Hero Mirko,' but she remained professional and readily analyzed the 'genetic sample' Rumi had brought with her.

Allaying Rumi's concerns, the panda-headed woman stared wide-eyed at the test results, genuine disbelief marring her face as she remarked, "This sample is incredible. Not only is it compatible with your genetic makeup, but I dare say it's compatible with just about anyone. In my twenty-seven years as a Geneticist, I have never seen such adaptive genes. They're like super-charged stem cells..."

"Then we have nothing else to discuss," said Rumi, rising to her feet and pulling out her cell phone to contact Nezu. He had asked her to report any important discoveries related to Izuku, and this seemed like fairly critical information. If so, it would need to be covered up as quickly as possible...
