"An, Itadori, you're back a little late."
"…Um."
Itadori was silent for a couple of seconds before responding with a single word.
"What… what happened?"
They had been together for quite some time, but this was the first time Momo had seen Itadori with such an expression.
What did it mean?
It was a look of regret, almost like "what a pity."
In the next moment, Itadori suddenly hugged her slender waist, pressing her close to him, her chest colliding against his.
"Mmm~Mmm~"
Before Momo could react, she felt his lips pressing against hers.
A powerful force invaded, drinking in her every breath.
"Miss, are you back?"
Just then, the maid approached, footsteps quickened.
What she saw shocked her so much that she almost screamed, but she managed to clamp her hands over her mouth just in time.
She had considered this possibility.
But wasn't this a bit too bold?
And still, still at the doorway…
What if the master and mistress found out?
Even Momo felt helpless. This time, Itadori was far more intense than ever before.
It felt like he was drawing her in completely.

The next day.
It was lunch time at UA, in the school cafeteria.
Momo, Uraraka, and other girls were sitting together at a table.
Mina looked at Momo and suddenly said, "Momo, your mouth looks a bit swollen. I have some lip balm if you'd like."
"Uh…ah, thank you, thank you."
Momo took the lip balm from Ashido with an awkward smile.
Even though she wanted to explain that it wasn't because of any irritation or dryness…
She couldn't really reveal the real reason.
After a night, Itadori was back to his usual self.
They say women are the best remedy for a man's pain, after all.
If hurt by one woman, sometimes the only remedy is another.
"Itadori! I heard that All Might is also teaching here at U.A.! When do you think he'll start instructing us?"
Yoarashi Inasa yelled excitedly as he sat down beside Itadori.
…Well, there went Itadori's mood again.

Afternoon class.
Their hero course teacher hadn't arrived yet, causing the students to chatter among themselves.
Suddenly, a heroic voice rang out from beyond the classroom door:
"I am—!"
BAM!
The door was thrown open with a loud crash.
"Entering the room normally!"
It was All Might, striking a powerful stance, reminiscent of a superhero from American comics, standing in his iconic hero outfit.
In an instant, awe and admiration were evident on every student's face.
Even someone as calm as Shoto Todoroki couldn't help but show a glimmer of excitement.
"Wow—!!"
"All Might!"
"He's really teaching here.!"
"So cool!"
It was no wonder they reacted this way.
Even Itadori, had heard of this legendary hero.
He'd seen videos of him saving people from infernos while grinning broadly.
But while most admired All Might's heroic deeds, Itadori found himself more drawn to his sheer strength.
It was similar to the feeling Blackbeard might have had toward Whitebeard—but without quite as much intensity.
"From now on, I'll be teaching your hero course!"
"And without further delay, today's lesson is… Combat training!"
All Might announced.
Bakugo Katsuki, Yoarashi Inasa, Kirishima Eijiro, and several others lit up with excitement, their faces brimming with anticipation.
Momo glanced at Itadori and noted his usual, slightly amused smile.
She just hoped no one would end up hurt.
"Now then…"
All Might pressed a button on a remote control.
From the right wall, a compartment opened, revealing what looked like a bank safe.
"These are the custom combat uniforms you all requested based on your 'Quirk Reports' and 'Design Concepts' submitted prior to enrollment!"
"Ohhhh!!!"
Everyone cheered with excitement.
They hadn't expected to suit up in their favorite hero outfits this soon.
Striking his iconic pose, All Might flexed his muscles and shouted, "Everyone, after you change, head to playground B!"
"Yes, sir!"
The dressing rooms had been prepared.
This time, everyone could change without waiting for others to leave.
When Itadori opened the compartment bearing his name, a silver gleam caught his eye.
'Let's hope you wake up quickly… or I can't use you to full power.' He thought, gripping the sparkling daggers at his waist.

About ten minutes later, all twenty Class A students, dressed in their new combat suits, assembled at the entrance of the simulated combat site B.
All Might stood waiting, hands on his hips.
The students emerged from the dim hallway, each of them looking impressive in their hero costumes.
All Might's gaze lingered on each of them briefly, until he looked at Itadori.
Itadori's attire was entirely black, designed with a sleek, low-waisted cut that highlighted his toned, but not overly bulky physique.
Silver daggers gleamed from the belt at his waist, projecting a chilling aura.
It wasn't as flashy as Bakugo's costume, nor as eccentric as Midoriya's.
Instead, it resembled a modified black student uniform, with the only standout elements being the sharp daggers resting on each side.
"Has young Itadori ever used daggers before?"
All Might pondered, recalling how he'd never seen Itadori wield a weapon during sparring sessions.
If anyone from Itadori's past life saw him now, they might recognize the inspiration.
The outfit was almost a blend of Dio and Jotaro's iconic looks.
With his black hair and modified uniform, he resembled Jotaro more than ever.
Itadori added his own twist by including daggers, specially crafted with German technology, much like Momo's hero suit.
"Excellent, everyone looks fantastic!"
All Might took a final glance at the class, his gaze lingering on Itadori, before he let out a triumphant shout, "Let's get started, young heroes!"
He struck another dramatic pose, but it seemed no one was quite as responsive as he'd hoped, making him feel slightly awkward.
After a couple of dry coughs, All Might regained his composure and began explaining the rules for their combat training.
The task was simple. The villains had hidden a "nuclear bomb" within the building. The heroes had to locate it and retrieve it, or else defeat the villains.
The students would work in pairs, with their teams and opponents decided by lottery.
As All Might explained, he pulled out a lottery box.

"Um!?"
As soon as the results were announced, Bakugo's gaze snapped to Midoriya with a fierce glare.
Midoriya, intimidated, almost tripped over himself in surprise.
"Why on earth am I paired with *him*?!"
