53 Chapter 52
After calming down Ochaco and assuring her everything would be okay, Izuku spent some time with her and Toru before the three of them made their way to class.
Noticing the trio as they entered, Yaoyorozu rose to her feet, smiling as she said, "Good morning, Midoriya-kun, Uraraka-san, and...who might this be? A friend of yours...?"
Beaming so brightly that her body literally started to glow, Toru teased, "Don't you recognize me, Yaoyorozu-san~?"
Though she was momentarily confused, certain she had never met such an 'ephemeral' girl in her entire life, Yaoyorozu quickly realized who she was, exclaiming, "Hagakure-san, is that you!?"
Adopting a somewhat silly smile, like someone who had one too many drinks, Toru replied, "I can make myself visible now, ehehehe~."
"That's incredible!" replied Yaoyorozu. "And Midoriya-kun was right. You really are quite beautiful. It's almost magical."
Exhibiting no shame, Toru mused, "I know, right~? I almost feel bad for all the other boys in my life. But it's their fault for not realizing they had such a beautiful girl right in front of them! Not like my Izuku-kun~!"
Hugging Izuku's arm, Toru unabashedly rubbed her against him with a somewhat perverse smile on her face. This earned her a raised-brow look from Yaoyorozu, asking, "Were the two of you always this close?"
Answering in Toru's stead, Izuku stunned all three girls by pulling Ochaco closer to him and saying, "It's complicated, but the three of us are dating now."
Recovering from her brief stupor, Yaoyorozu adopted a very bright but discernibly practiced smile as she expressed, "I'm very happy for the three of you. I wish each of you the utmost joy."
With Ochaco and Toru still too stunned to reply, Izuku offered a curt nod and said, "Thanks, Yaoyorozu-san. We appreciate your support."
Adopting a marginally more sincere smile, Yaoyorozu replied, "Of course. Supporting one another is what friends do. Just try not to get too lovey-dovey while we're at school, okay?"
"I'll keep that in mind," replied Izuku. Then, after some light conversation, including a private chat with Ochaco and Toru, the four of them worked together to prepare for class. Toru's sudden visibility caused quite a stir whenever someone showed up, but things proceeded fairly normally until homeroom. At least on the surface...

Standing at the classroom's podium with his usual haggard expression, Aizawa revealed, "Summer Break is fast approaching. However, as this is UA, don't expect to be able to traipse about without a care in the world. This year, Classes 1-A and 1-B will be teaming up to attend a Summer Training Camp at an undisclosed location. But before that, you'll first need to overcome the Final Exams. That includes a written 'and' practical exam, so you'll need to study and train hard if you want to avoid taking remedial classes while everyone else is having fun."
Though everyone was initially excited by the prospect of a Summer Training Camp, hearing Aizawa mention the Final Exams caused nearly half the Class to deflate. They weren't concerned with the practical, but due to the Sports Festival and Internships, only the most diligent among them had bothered to study. Fortunately, at least for those who accepted her invitation, Yaoyorozu offered to help out anyone struggling with the course material, inviting them over to her house to study...

With the first half of the day passing in a flash, the girls from Class 1-A had, once again, assembled at the same lunch table. Once everyone had sat down, Mina kicked things off by asking, "So, the two of you are dating Izuku-kun~?" with a mischievous smile directed at Ochaco and Toru.
Pressing the pads of her fingers together, Ochaco bashfully replied, "We just started dating..." while Toru, appearing especially bubbly, appended, "That's right~." with a very happy smile on her face.
Nodding her head in approval, Mina mused, "That's great," before leaning forward with her elbows on the table, her voice low as she asked, "Now, give us the deets. We want all the juicy details. That includes how you suddenly became visible, Toru-san. You would have mentioned it in the group chat if it happened during your internship, so it must have occurred recently. It can't be a coincidence you started dating Izuku around the same time."
Instead of answering Mina's question directly, Toru cupped her cheeks and replied, "It's the power of love~" with a somewhat silly smile and a small amount of drool leaking from her lip.
Realizing that Toru might be a lost cause, at least until she returned to Earth, Mina, alongside the rest of the girls at the table, shifted their gazes to Ochaco. The latter was too honest for her own good, but she at least tried to keep things under wraps, shrinking in her seat as she muttered, "I-It's a secret..." while avoiding the other girls' gazes.
Adopting an even broader smile, Mina sat up straight, making a helpless gesture as she said, "If that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it. Though, I do seem to recall everyone here promising to inform the entire group about their progress with Izuku-kun. You and Toru-san are pretty sneaky."
Shrinking even further into herself, Ochaco muttered, "It's not like I was trying to be sneaky..." with an increasingly nervous look on her face. She knew better than anyone just how 'sneaky' she had been, so the pressure she was experiencing was immense.
Increasing Ochaco's feelings of guilt ten-fold, Tsuyu stared directly at her and said, "I didn't know you and Izuku-chan were so close...did you meet up during your Internships or something, ribbit?"
Unable to withstand the pressure and guilt, Ochaco abruptly rose from her seat, shouting, "J-Just give me a moment...!" before running over to the boys' table and whispering something into Izuku's ear. A wry smile developed across the latter's face, but he eventually nodded in response to whatever Ochaco had asked him, prompting her to return to the girls' table, visibly relieved as she plopped into her seat.
"What was that about?" asked Mina. "Did you just run over to ask Izuku-kun permission for something? If so, the relationship between you seems pretty...advanced..."
Returning a markedly more relaxed, somewhat excited smile, Ochaco replied, "It's because Izuku-kun has a 'big' secret, something he can't reveal to others since it would cause chaos around the world!"
Blinking in surprise, Mina asked, "Does it have anything to do with Toru-san becoming visible?"
Nodding her head with a bit of vigor, Ochaco replied, "It does. But before I tell you what it is, each of you has to promise to keep it a secret. If word of Izuku's power got out, it would cause a lot of trouble."
Though she crossed her arms and had a somewhat conflicted look, Mina didn't hesitate to answer, "Well, I certainly wouldn't tell anyone. But if it's such a big secret, why are you willing to tell us?"
Tilting her head to the side, Ochaco issued a cutesy "Hmmm...?" before answering, "Izuku-kun said it was okay because he trusts everyone here. I also feel guilty about going behind everyone's back, so if it comes down to it, I don't mind...sharing him with everyone here..."
Understanding 'exactly' what Ochaco was suggesting, expressions of shock, disbelief, and mild intrigue marred the faces of the girls seated at the table. Yaoyorozu was one of the calmer ones, asking, "Does this have anything to do with Midoriya-kun's secret?"
Nodding her head, Ochaco replied, "Yeah, but I'm not really sure I'm the best person to explain things. The two of us haven't...'done' it yet, so I've yet to experience it directly."
After blinking several times, a look of realization, accompanied by a massive grin, developed across Mina's face as she looked to Toru, softly yet excitedly asking, "You and Izuku-kun had sex!? What was it like...!?"
Puffing her chest out with pride, Toru replied, "It's true~" while cupping her cheeks, grinning foolishly as she added, "And it was awesome. Izuku-kun is 'really' big, so I thought it would hurt a lot. It kind of did at the very beginning, but then it became suuuuper amazing~."
Inserting herself into the conversation, Jiro leaned forward to ask, "How big...?" in a curious tone. She wasn't particularly enthused by the prospect of becoming a member of Izuku's 'harem,' but they had similar tastes in music and got decent enough, so she didn't dismiss the notion outright. It ultimately came down to whether or not the other girls were interested. If she were the only one left out, she might join just to feel included...
Holding her hands up, Toru made a somewhat exaggerated gesture with her index fingers, answering, "Around this big? I've never measured it, but Izuku said it's something like 20cm."
"..." x 4
"Isn't that too big?" asked Tsuyu, recovering a bit quicker than the other girls.
Shaking her head, Toru replied, "I thought so too, but it turned out not to be a problem. In fact, it felt really, really good. I'm looking forward to the next time~."
Seeing how 'happy' Toru was, various thoughts crossed the minds of the girls at the table. Fortunately, at least Yaoyorozu hadn't forgotten the original topic of their discussion, asking, "What does any of this have to do with Midoriya-kun's Quirk...?" with a faint but perceptible blush on her face.
With Yaoyorozu directing the question at her, causing everyone else to turn her way, an uncomfortable smile developed across Ochaco's face as she rubbed the back of her head, answering, "Well, the truth is..."

After dodging awkward questions for the better part of an hour, Izuku was glad to be back in the classroom. He had the distinct impression the girls kept staring at him on the way over, but he pretended not to notice, a relaxed smile on his face even as Mineta drilled a hole into the back of his head with his envious gaze.
"Quiet down..." said Aizawa, entering the classroom with a very beautiful person following close behind.
"Midnight-sensei...!" shouted several boys within the Class, specifically Mineta, Kaminari, and Sero.
Waving her hand with a characteristically seductive look on her face, Midnight spiritedly replied, "Good afternoon, beautiful boys and girls! I hope everyone had fun during their Internships!"
Rolling his eyes from behind the podium, Aizawa waited for things to calm down before revealing, "For today's Foundational Heroics training, we'll be splitting the boys and girls into separate groups. The boys will come with me to Field Beta to practice handling hostage situations, and the girls will stay here for a lesson regarding the 'logistics' of being a female Pro. Now, if you're a boy, grab your costumes and head to the Beta Locker Room to get changed..."
With the boys grabbing their costumes and quickly departing, the six girls from Class 1-A soon found themselves alone with Midnight. A very tense atmosphere permeated the classroom as, for nearly three whole minutes, no one said anything until Midnight broke the ice, a sadistic smile on her face as she asked, "Based on how nervous everyone looks, I take it you already know why you've been gathered here, separated from the boys?"
Raising her hand like the dutiful student she was, Yaoyorozu answered, "Could it be...related to Midoriya-kun?"
Covering her mouth, Midnight feigned surprise, exclaiming, "Oh, my~" before lowering her hand and adopting a marginally more serious but still-lascivious smile as she explained, "While I can't deny this has something to do with Midoriya-kun, the real reason is more innocuous. The Principal believed it would be beneficial to implement a general Sex-Ed curriculum for the First Year students. I'm starting with you, but you can be sure the boys will receive a similar lesson later..."
Hearing that they hadn't been singled out, the girls of Class 1-A exhaled a nearly unanimous sigh. They thought they were about to receive a lesson on 'good morals' and 'decency,' but it turned out to be a simple 'remedial' course, transitioning into the topics of pregnancy and its influence on the careers of Pro Heroines. At least, that's what it seemed like until Midnight surprised them halfway through the lecture, licking her lips before saying, "Now, about Midoriya-kun..."
