[Class 1 – A's Sticky Situation – Part 3]

Yoshihara leaned against the veranda railing of the dorm building, her expression neutral and her mood slightly below annoyed, though that was because of... bodily reasons. Beyond that, she had been in a relatively good mood, all things considered. Her Heroics 101 class was a little annoying, namely because she got last in her race. It wasn't her fault she had gotten disoriented during the confusion and nearly ended up throwing up from motion sickness.

She probably would've won if she knew where she was going.

Probably.

Yoshihara sighed. She normally wasn't competitive. But after the Sports Festival, something in her clicked. She actually liked competing in things so long as they weren't about anything major, made worse by her, Izuku, and Uraraka playing Smash Bros over the week-long break back at Uraraka's old apartment.

Yes, she was a filthy Sephiroth main.

Yes, she was a spammer.

And yes, she won every fight she got into against the two. It seemed that even in video games, luck was always on her side. Most of the time, anyway. The less she talked about the time when Uraraka got fed up and picked Minecraft Steve and completely rofl-comboed both Yoshihara and Izuku into the goddamned dirt, the better.

That aside, after an admittedly boring Modern Art Class focusing on why hero costumes sometimes looked provocative, like Nemuri's own hero costume, and after a quick check-in with Nemuri on how she was doing living in the new dorm system, everyone was sent back to the Heights Alliance to study for the written portion of the Final Exams. However, while everyone else went inside to do that, the blonde decided to wait for someone to show up.

Izuku.

Her boyfriend hadn't come with them back to the dorms, instead saying he had a meeting with All Might. It only made her think more about his theorized connection to the man. No teacher, aside from a teacher who doubled as a parent, would show that much blatant favouritism toward a student. Not even Nemuri paid this much attention to her during school time. And yet, All Might had no problem with doing so.

All Might seemed to be extremely ride-or-die with Izuku, and it got her to think that maybe the crack-pot theory that Izuku had All Might's Quirk after all wasn't just that, a theory. Either that or All Might was a relative, which she highly doubted, seeing as the two looked nothing alike.

Not that she cared all too much. If her hunch was right, then that meant that Izuku had All Might's Quirk... somehow... that didn't change anything about their relationship, or her view of the boy. But it did explain a lot of things, such as when he showed up at U.A. and he suddenly had superhuman strength, and now as of recently, speed.

At first, she thought that maybe he was just a late bloomer. That his Quirk just... showed up. But after Asui off-handedly mentioned that Izuku's Quirk shared a lot of similarities with All Might's back during the trip to the USJ, her little crack-pot theory started gaining traction.

The only thing that threw her off was the green lightning. When that stuff showed up, she thought that her theory was dead in the water. But, just to make sure she wasn't missing anything, Yoshihara decided to watch some of All Might's recorded fights on Herotube, as much of a waste of time as it was.

Lo-and-behold, whenever he punched, yellow lightning sometimes accompanied those punches. Her theory was alive again, and on top of that, it had more proof pointing toward that Izuku had been given All Might's Quirk.

If anything, all that new Full Cowling mode did was add fuel to the fire.

Of course, now all she had to do was ask if Izuku truly had All Might's Quirk once she had some time with just herself and him. Which as of late wasn't all that rare. So, the next time they were alone together, she'd ask him. She was originally going to ask him after the internships, but, well... Ida died, and that just didn't feel right. So she held off.
