BNHA: Singularity

After a few hours of studying, Izuku and the others went outside to meet Melissa. Instead of meeting her at the shoreline, however, they waited for her outside as Melissa had told them she'd be 'landing' nearby.
"Is that a floating cube?" asked Mina, reacting to the 3x3m yellow-orange cube hovering in the air a few tens of meters above them.
"It looks like the mobile factory that Mei was working on," replied Izuku. "Melissa must have helped her finish and upgrade it. It wasn't able to fly the last time I saw it..."
With the cube's thrusters kicking up a fair amount of dust, Izuku created a wall from Blackwhip, shielding everyone as four mechanical legs unfurled from the cube's base, allowing it to land stably. Then, from a hatch at the top, Melissa poked out her head and upper body, waving excitedly as she shouted, "Hey, everyone! Sorry for arriving so late~!"
Climbing out of the cuboid vehicle, Melissa jumped from its roof, her soles producing a faint hissing sound and pushing away a small amount of dust as she landed.
Raising his brows, Izuku asked, "Did you install the AT's air compression system into your shoes...?"
"Good eye," replied Melissa, turning around to display her voluminous ass and the soles of her shoes. The latter had what looked like a series of red ball bearings, briefly reminding Izuku of a certain 'time-controlling' homo with an obsession for flames...
"I've been experimenting with alternatives to the two-wheeled model," said Melissa. "These aren't really suited to rural areas, but they allow me to jump from up to twenty meters without straining my legs or sustaining injuries~!"
Raising his brows, Izuku asked, "Are the bearings made from the same material as the Mid and Full-Gauntlets?"
Though she nodded her head, Melissa clarified, "It's similar, but not the same. The energy transfer properties of Vermilium are great for absorbing shocks and redirecting kinetic energy, but it isn't suitable for standard AT wheels and compression systems. Since ATs rely on the user's weight and kicking power to accelerate, 'negating' that power and redirecting it into the ground would just cause you to produce craters and potholes without going anywhere."
"Makes sense," replied Izuku. Then, before he could say anything more, Mina chimed in to ask, "If you're already testing alternative models, does that mean you've already completed the standard AT design?"
Thumbing toward her cube-shaped mech, Melissa replied, "The standard-use models have been completed for a while. I can make a pair for you if Momo can provide the materials. That's one of the reasons I brought over Baby #414, Friend Cube."
"I'd be happy to be of assistance," replied Momo, leading to a situation where Melissa mass-produced generic AT for everyone to try out. She had already developed an 'all-terrain' wheel type that could be used on dirt, so everyone was able to skate around at decently high speeds, so long as they avoided dense, grassy areas.
As expected, Mina had the easiest time trying out the ATs, even though Tsuyu had the highest Dexterity in the group. She had actual experience with skating and performing tricks, while Tsuyu was more accustomed to jumping around and pouncing on all-fours. With Mina's help, however, all the girls were able to get a basic grasp of accelerating, decelerating, and performing simple tricks in a very short period...
While everyone else familiarized themselves with ATs, Izuku sat off to the side with Melissa, smiling relaxedly as she prattled on about all the things she had been working on in the week or so they had been apart. He was a little surprised to learn the school had a shielding and propulsion system that allowed it to rise out of the ground like a literal floating fortress out of a fantasy novel, but, in hindsight, he should have expected as much from Nezu...
"It sounds like you've been having fun," remarked Izuku, waiting for a lull in the conversation.
Adopting a smile that brightened her surroundings noticeably, Melissa replied, "I would be lying if I said I didn't miss my father, but your mom and everyone at UA treat me well."
Seemingly recalling something, Melissa covered her mouth and exclaimed a faint "Oh!" before staring directly at Izuku, adopting a wry smile as she said, "That reminds me. Your mother asked me to tell you not to run out of the house and vanish without telling her where you're going. She seemed worried and a little...angry..."
Nodding his head, Izuku said, "I'll be sure to give her a call tonight. For now, want me to show you around? We can also install the AC unit you brought over."
"Sounds good," replied Melissa, promptly rising to her feet and extending her hand to help Izuku stand. He didn't need it, but he accepted it with a smile, allowing the buxom blonde to pull him to his feet before giving her a brief tour of Rumi's residence, introducing her to the sunbathing Ryuko in the process. The latter wasn't nearly as fond of napping as Shino, but after exhausting more than half her Vitality to help the girls train, taking a cat nap and sunbathing in the courtyard was an excellent way to recoup...
...
..
.
Giving voice to Izuku's thoughts, Ryuko mused, "You're one lucky little fella, you know that~?"
As Ryuko was washing him, willfully squishing her breasts against his back as she reached around to caress the front of his body, Izuku calmly replied, "I'm well aware..." while lathering and massaging the red-faced Melissa's breasts from behind.
"I'd say Melissa's the lucky one in this instance..." remarked Mina, staring at the trio from the corner of her eyes as she washed Toru. Everyone had decided to take a bath before dinner, so they were presently taking turns washing and rinsing each other off before getting in the onsen-style bath.
Reacting to Mina's remark, Toru puffed out her cheeks and poutily replied, "I know, right? I want Izuku to wash me as well..."
"Then feel free to come over here once I'm finished with Melissa," said Izuku, his expression and voice calm despite his massive erection. "I'll wash every single one of you if you want me to..."
Interjecting before Toru could respond, Ryuko remarked, "That's a bit much. I'm all for keeping things 'fair,' but it isn't practical to try and please everyone all at once. If you say things like that, you'll have everyone here forming a queue to receive your affection. Myself included..."
Punctuating her words by licking Izuku's ear, Ryuko made it clear she was holding herself back to set a 'good example' for the rest of the girls. She was nearly twice as old as everyone present, so she had a duty to prevent things from getting 'too' out of hand.
Undermining Ryuko's efforts to moderate the situation, Izuku casually asserted, "It's something I want to do, so if they want me to wash their bodies and are willing to wait, I see no reason not to. That being said..."
Leaning closer to Melissa, Izuku kissed her shoulder before saying, "I think I've played with your boobs long enough. You should rinse off and head to the bath."
"R-Right..." replied Melissa, blushing up to her ears as she rose to her feet and made her way over to one of the detachable shower heads lining the wall. She was feeling a little dizzy since this was the first time Izuku had touched her breasts directly and the first time they were bathing together. The most they had done previously was hold hands, kiss, and cuddle, so she suddenly felt like she was on the fast track toward something 'more'...
Though he initially followed Melissa's departure with his eyes, Izuku's attention was diverted when Toru promptly plopped down in front of him. Mina had already lathered her up, but that didn't stop Izuku from giving her a 'very' thorough rub-down, wrapping things up with Ochaco as most of the other girls had enough sense to join Melissa in the bath...
...

.
"I'm hoooooooome~!" shouted Rumi, announcing her arrival to the entire house. She usually just came inside directly, but since there were people other than Izuku present, she figured she would give him at least a brief heads-up.
Emerging from her room in a pair of cat-themed lingerie, Ryuko replied, "No need to be so loud. Izuku's waiting in your bedroom, and we saved food for you under a cloche. If you're serious about having a baby, you'll need to mind your health and nutrient intake."
Crossing her arms, Rumi pointedly replied, "I don't need to hear that from you..." before pausing for a moment and asking, "What's with your getup?"
Striking a pose that showed off her curves and the artificial cat tail she was wearing, Ryuko mused, "I'm planning to seduce Izuku once you go on your evening patrol. Don't worry; I brought plenty of birth control and condoms with me..."
Furrowing her brows slightly, Rumi briefly considered telling Ryuko to piss off. Instead, she muttered, "Whatever..." before making her way past the salacious cat girl, skipping her meal to seek out Izuku directly.
Upon entering her room, Rumi's eyes widened, her right brow rising quite a bit as she softly exclaimed, "What the fuck...?"
Though the layout of her room hadn't changed, Rumi noticed her bed was larger and that there were pylon-like space coolers, one at each corner of the room. More noticeably, thick, porous black panels covered the walls and ceiling, while ornate, canopy-style curtains hung from the roof around her bed.
Lying atop Rumi's bed with his feet crossed, a relaxed smile, and hands behind his bed, Izuku replied, "You can get pretty loud once we get going, so I installed some sound-absorbing panels and thick curtains to prevent your screams from keeping everyone awake. We also swapped out your bed and outfitted it with a powerful suspension system, so we can go all out without worrying about breaking the bed or floor..."
Narrowing her eyes, Rumi reiterated, "You're really treating this place like your own..."
"You're right," replied Izuku, patting his thigh as he added, "Just as you treat me like your own..."
Exhaling a soft chuckle, Rumi began to strip out of her Hero Costume as she replied, "Well, you're not wrong...". Then, for the better part of three hours, she gave Izuku's soundproofing and Melissa's suspension system a thorough test...
...
..
.
After seeing Rumi off one final time, kissing her before she departed, Izuku made his way inside, initially intending to get some rest before encountering Ryuko standing against the threshold of her bedroom door, arms crossed as she stared at him and licked her lips in her cat-themed lingerie.
Adopting a wry smile, Izuku mused, "Well, you have worked hard today..." before making his way and allowing Ryuko to yank him by the collar into her room. There, even though she had several boxes of condoms in her luggage, she had Izuku feed her a birth control pill with a kiss before raw fucking for several hours. She loved getting creampied, so unless Izuku insisted upon wearing a condom, Ryuko was determined to have him cum inside her at least a dozen times a day for the rest of Summer Break. After all, she was singularly responsible for everyone's rapid growth. Without her Earth Beasts, they would struggle to surpass Level 40 in their entire career as Pro Heroes. Thus, Ryuko believed she deserved at least some special treatment...preferably a lot...
...

Though Melissa originally planned to sit out on the early morning training, this changed when they realized she was within Experience Sharing range of everyone but Tsuyu and Momo.
"Is it really okay for me to just sit here like this...?" asked Melissa, relaxing on the engawa(the veranda encircling Japanese-style houses) with Izuku.
"It's fine," replied Izuku, his eyes absentmindedly scanning his Chemistry textbook as he added, "Your Luck and Prodigy Perk make everyone Level faster just by being around. You're welcome to join them and train directly, but you're already invaluable with the support you provide."
Adopting a faint smile, Melissa muttered, "I just wish I could do more..." in a sincere tone.
Turning his attention away from his textbook, Izuku smiled at Melissa and affirmed, "You can do anything you like, Melissa. Even if you chose to stay here the rest of the break, I doubt the Principal would complain. After all, the stronger and smarter we become, the easier it will be to overcome the challenges awaiting us in the future..."
With Izuku extending his left hand toward her, palm up, the corners of Melissa's smile curled upward as she linked the fingers of her right hand through his. Doing so caused her heart to beat madly within her chest, but she managed to appear relatively calm as she suggested studying or working on his Sky Regalia 'together.' Her Intelligence had increased by 30 in less than three hours, so her mind was filled with ways they could use their time better...

Reading between the lines of Melissa's proposal, Izuku raised his brows and asked, "Are you sure...?" in a faint tone. Melissa wasn't a prude, but she had fairly conservative values. She had to push herself to take a bath with him, so he thought it would be at least a few weeks, potentially even months, before she was open to the idea of taking their relationship to the next level.
Adopting a marginally wrier smile, Melissa replied, "I've had a lot of time to think about it. I originally planned to wait until I was married before entrusting my first time to my husband, but with you engaged to Momo and the potential end of the world on the horizon...waiting doesn't seem the wisest course of action. Now, I just want to be on the same page as everyone else..."
Though he didn't outright agree with Melissa's reasoning, Izuku wasn't going to try and talk her out of her decision. Rather, ever since they had 'officially' become a couple, he had been looking forward to the moment he and Melissa got down and dirty. Thus, without further discussion, he led the beautiful blonde into Rumi's home to help her get 'caught up' with everyone else...
...
..
.
Contrasting the 2-3 weeks that Rumi thought it would take, Tsuyu and Momo managed to get within Experience Sharing range of Ryuko and Izuku after only nine days of training. This confirmed, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the Experience Sharing range was fifteen Levels as both girls were Level 32 while the latter duo was 47.
Fortunately, due to each Level beyond 30 requiring the same amount of Experience as 1-30, the rest of the girls, even Melissa, weren't far behind. Each was at least Level 30, so Rumi gave everyone a three-day break to have fun and enjoy themselves at the beach.&nbsp;
Though he wasn't particularly fond of swimming after nearly drowning during his Army Combat Water Survival Test in his previous life, Izuku was enjoying his time at the beach. Even Rumi had taken the day off, donning a purple and gold-trimmed bikini and a purple sarong as she sunbathed on a towel next. She hated swimming, as she was prone to ear infections, so she had him apply a healthy dose of tanning lotion before dozing off at his side.
Tearing his eyes from the heavenly sight of the girls playing volleyball, four-against-four, Izuku stared silently at Rumi's peacefully sleeping face. Her cervix had lowered and closed up a few days prior, so even though she had yet to take a pregnancy test, there was a 'very' good chance she was already expectant. The surest sign of this was a noticeable decrease in her libido, but to 'make sure,' they went at it for at least 2-3 hours a day, albeit with less intensity than usual...
Demonstrating that she wasn't actually asleep, Rumi asked, "What is it...?" before opening her eyes just enough to reveal her distinct yet remarkably common carmine irises. Her inordinately long eyelashes also fluttered in an innately seductive manner, causing the corners of Izuku's smile to curl up as he softly mused, "Just admiring the mother of my unborn children..."
Rolling her eyes, Rumi raised her upper body onto her elbows, allowing her voluminous, uncovered breasts to dangle tantalizing as she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Is that all? Sure you don't want something else...?"
Raising his eyes and caressing his chin, Izuku jokingly replied, "Maybe a blowjob?"
"You wish," retorted Rumi, rising to a seated position and slouching forward with her legs crossed as she appended, "Even if I have your kids, that isn't going to make me enjoy the taste of semen or having a veritable pole shoved up my ass. If you want to do stuff like that, drag one of those brats into the bushes or something..."
Though she relished having sex, Rumi abhorred non-vaginal plays. Her singular preference was creampies, so even handjobs were off the table unless she was washing or wanted to tease him.
Maintaining a relaxed smile, Izuku casually replied, "Maybe later. I've got a pretty good vibe going right now..."
Snorting through her nose, Rumi remarked, "You sound like an old man..." before abruptly pulling her ass-length white hair up in a ponytail, asking, "Do you have a scrunchie or something?"
Resisting the urge to ask why he'd have something like that, Izuku replied, "No, but Momo could probably make you one. Why, giving my proposal a second thought?"
Narrowing her eyes, Rumi sent Izuku a sidelong stare, silently warning him not to push his luck before shifting her gaze to the girls and saying, "Pick the girl you want me to swap with. I'm going to kick the rest of their asses in volleyball."
Though he was tempted to say he wouldn't trade her for anyone, Izuku had come to accept that Rumi wasn't fond of overly flirtatious or cheesy remarks. Instead, he responded with a curt "Kyoka," understanding that she was only participating to ensure the teams had an even number of participants.
"The droopy-eared one, right?" asked Rumi, pretending she had yet to memorize the names of everyone present.&nbsp;
Seeing Izuku nod his head, Rumi fixed her bikini top before rising to her feet and making her way over to the larger group of girls. Her presence brought a momentary end to the fairly intense game of volleyball, calling for a rearrangement of teams while Kyoka, blushing up to her ears, made her way over to Izuku.
Before Izuku could ask why her face was red, Kyoka averted her eyes and revealed, "Mirko said you wanted to take me into the bushes..."
Exhaling a light chuckle, Izuku adopted a teasing smile as he replied, "Well, she isn't wrong. But let's do that some other time. For now, how about we chill or have a chat? I've been meaning to ask you about your parents and a few other things, but we haven't had many chances to be alone this Summer."
Managing to sound both disappointed and relieved, Kyoka responded with a faint "Oh..." before taking a seat on Rumi's towel, drawing up her legs to hug her knees as she admitted, "I've been thinking the same thing. Ever since the incident at I-Island and this Meta World Transversal crap, it feels like you've been doing your own thing. I'm not complaining, but it would be nice to hang out like we used to..."
Nodding his head, Izuku replied, "Look on the bright side. Since we'll be living in the same dorms from now on, we'll be able to hang out as much as we want. The entire fifth floor is soundproofed, so I'm looking forward to learning bass or guitar from you."
Perking up at the mention of Izuku learning an instrument, Kyoko offered a curt "Sounds rockin..." before combing back the bangs framing the left side of her face, adding, "I could ask Momo to make us a pair of basses if you want to start practicing now. You know I'm not really good at making idle chatter..."
("At least not with the boy I like...") thought Kyoka. She had no trouble speaking with Momo and had recently started getting along with Ochaco and Tsuyu. However, whenever she was alone with Izuku, the knowledge that they could be doing 'more' prevented her from speaking freely...
"Sounds good," replied Izuku, seizing the initiative to rise to his feet, sparing Kyoka the effort of getting up. Fortunately, the volleyball game had yet to kick off, so he was able to acquire a pair of bass guitars that nearly caused Kyoka to faint since they were modeled after a brand worth around $370,000 in the current market...
...

.
Before hopping into her Friend Cube and returning to UA, Melissa hugged everyone but the absent Rumi. When she finally got to Izuku, he gave her a lengthy kiss, holding her voluptuous body for the better part of a minute before releasing her lips, adopting a teasing smile, and whispering, "Enjoy making babies with Mei..."
Swallowing the remnant saliva in her mouth and throat, it was Melissa's turn to surprise Izuku, whispering, "Let's make babies together when you get back..."
Before Izuku could respond, Melissa abruptly escaped from his embrace, taking advantage of her boosted stats to leap onto the roof of her Friend Cube, retreating to its interior before subsequently taking off. She wasn't very good at flirting, especially with onlookers present, so she even used her cube's emergency thrusters to escape the island faster...
"There she goes..." muttered Izuku, a relaxed smile adorning his face until Toru abruptly leaped on him from behind, dangling from his neck as she playfully exclaimed, "Kiss me next~!" before planting a sloppy one on his cheek.
Instead of chastizing Toru for her behavior, Izuku pulled her around to his front, silencing her with a kiss and a cheeky squeeze of her bottom. Since she was naked, even while appearing to be fully clothed, he could feel the warmth of her body against his fingers and palm, prompting him to give her a firm squeeze before retracting his hand and separating from her lips to say, "Now behave..." in a faint yet authoritative tone.
Licking her lips, Toru responded with a mischievous, "For now..." before giving Izuku's semi a playful squeeze with her right hand. Afterward, she separated from him of her own accord, making her way over to the other girls with a cheerful smile. Izuku briefly followed her with his gaze before noticing that everyone but Momo was staring at him with at least a hint of expectation in their eyes. Ochaco, in particular, looked like she wanted to tackle him, so Izuku adopted a wry smile, spreading his arms as he joked, "First come, first served..."

(A/N: If you're not already a patron, please consider becoming one. My dad fell out of a tree, breaking his left leg, hip, shoulder, and several ribs. He won't be able to work for 2-3 months, so I'd like to be able to help out, even if only a little bit.)
...
..
.
After seeing Rumi off for her afternoon patrol, Izuku returned to the interior of her home, finding all the girls in the same room, studying for the second term or preparing for their CBEs. At this point, everyone was planning to test out of the General curriculum, not so they would have more time to fool around, but so they could focus on their training, Work Studies, and helping Melissa.
"Oh, Izuku, have you come to study with us?" asked Ochaco, beaming the moment he entered the room.
"Sounds like fun," replied Izuku, taking a seat between Ochaco and Tsuyu before asking, "What's everyone studying?"
As she was leading the study group, Momo happily chimed, "We're up to Third Year Mathematics, specifically Algebraic Equations and Factorising. Here, we made a study packet for you as well."
Accepting the proferred packet of papers, Izuku took a cursory glance at them, smiling wryly as he promptly redistributed his attributes. He could solve most of the problems if he took the time to think about them, but he preferred being able to 'know' the answer at a glance.
Before getting into the groove of studying, Izuku asked, "How was it this morning? I already know it was productive, but I'm curious to hear your impressions of grinding Experience. It's something we'll be doing a lot of in the future..."
"It was super fun~!" replied Mina. "I've always enjoyed combat training and moving my body, but seeing my stats increase is awesome. I went from Level 23 to 25 and gained 4 Strength, Agility, Vitality, and Dexterity as well as two Intelligence and Luck."
Piggybacking off of Mina's words, Tsuyu stated, "That seems to be a trend when we Level up together. Our attributes increase by ten, with greater weight assigned to those that amplify our Quirks. I also gained two Levels and twenty bonus attributes, but most of them went toward increasing my Dexterity. I didn't gain even a single point in Intelligence, ribbit..."
Though she used to be one of the smartest girls in Class 1-A, Tsuyu had placed among the lowest in the written exams since everyone but her and Kyoka had increased their Intelligence to at least 100. Now, while she wasn't exactly struggling with the course material, she was becoming increasingly aware of the difference in Intelligence the longer everyone studied together...
"85 Intelligence is still a lot," asserted Izuku. "It's higher than most of our teachers and surpasses many of the Ph.D. holders I've encountered. A lot of that can be attributed to their relatively low Level, but still. Even if your Intelligence doesn't increase every single time you Level, 85 is nothing to scoff at."
Feeling that she had made Izuku worry over nothing, Tsuyu offered a faint 'kero' as she hung her head and feigned focusing on her study packet. In response, Izuku caressed her smooth and noticeably cool hair, the result of her Thermoregulation Perk keeping her body cool despite it being more than 29 degrees inside Rumi's distinctly traditional, AC-less house.
Blinking in surprise, Izuku casually remarked, "You're really cool to the touch, Tsuyu. I was wondering why you were the only one not sweating..."
Prompted by Izuku's words, Ochaco reached over to touch Tsuyu's leg, remarking, "Oh, wow, he's right!" with a look of surprise on her face. She was fairly used to the Summer heat since she usually turned her AC off to save money when it got especially hot out, but she was sweating buckets alongside everyone but Tsuyu and Toru. Momo had produced several fans for them, but they only helped a little since they were circulating hot and incredibly humid air.
Fearing she might become everyone's hug pillow, Tsuyu promptly pointed out, "My Thermoregulation Perk isn't perfect. If everyone suddenly starts hugging me, I'll quickly overheat, ribbit..."
"I bet you wouldn't mind if it were Izuku~" mused Mina, narrowing her peculiar gold and black sclera eyes in amusement. Fortunately, before things could get out of hand, Izuku quickly changed topics, asking, "Any word on when Melissa and Toga will be joining us?"
As she was typically the one to keep track of such things, it was Momo who answered, "Toga's parents are taking her to visit family in Okinawa, so the earliest she can join us is the final week of Summer Break. As for Melissa, she should be coming by later this afternoon but will only stay for 3-4 days before returning to the campus. She has a lot of work to do back at UA."
"Yeah, I figured as much," replied Izuku. Nezu was determined to turn UA into even more of a fortress than it already was, so Melissa was nearly as busy as Cementoss and the other teachers in charge of construction. She had more leeway than the average teacher, but with news of the MWT phenomenon gradually spreading due to escalating crises in countries that lacked the means to defend themselves, they only had so much time to prepare.
Pulling out his cell phone, Izuku opened up the group chat as he added, "Still, we should ask her to bring over a space cooler or something similar. Studying like this without an AC is just torture..."
Though she agreed wholeheartedly with Izuku's statement, Mina mused, "Look on the bright side. With it being this hot outside, we have plenty of excuses to wear our swimsuits and take a dip in the ocean. We were going to after our morning training, but you were asleep, and we didn't want to wake you."
Inserting herself into the conversation, Kyoka flatly appended, "We were planning to do a barbeque as well, but Pixie-bob-sensei said Usagiyama-san doesn't allow meat-eating on the island."
"Yeah...I forgot to mention that..." replied Izuku, smiling wryly as he added, "Rumi gets nauseous if she eats or smells cooked meat, so most of the food we eat here is vegan..."
"Is it because she's a rabbit?" asked Tsuyu, understanding Rumi's plight as she was classified as she, much like Ryuko, was classified as a Lesser Heteromorph. Both of her parents possessed Heteromorphic qualities, but her father was a full-blown Heteromorph, his Quirk, Toad, giving him the face and physiology of a toad. As a result, Tsuyu had gone through a very long period where she couldn't process 'ordinary' human food...
Nodding his head, Izuku revealed, "Rumi's mom is a rabbit Heteromorph, and her father possessed an Enhancement-type Quirk that allowed him to strengthen his legs. Rumi inherited a combination of their powers, making her a Lesser Heteromorph capable of reinforcing her body, specifically her legs."
"Just how strong is she capable of becoming?" asked Mina, genuinely curious as 'Mirko' was also one of her Heroes growing up.
Shrugging his shoulders, Izuku replied, "I'm not entirely sure, but based on what I've observed, the only restriction on Enhancement-type Quirks is their fuel source and Vitality. Sato-san is a good example of this, as his Quirk is only supposed to boost his physical attributes five-fold for three minutes, but he has feats that are far beyond that. As for Rumi, I've seen her Strength and Agility increase to more than 5000, albeit only for a few seconds. If she wanted to maintain that state permanently, she'd need at least ten times the amount in Vitality."
"So that's why your stats are so weird," remarked Mina. "I was wondering why your base Strength and Agility hover between ten and twenty. It's so that when you power yourself up, you don't place as much of a strain on your body."
"That's right," replied Izuku. "However, even with ten to twenty times the Vitality, there is a limit to how much I can reinforce my attributes without a strong base. I can't just set my Strength, Agility, and Dexterity to 1 and strengthen myself infinitely by putting everything into Vitality. There is a disparity between the density and tensile strength of my bones, muscles, and tendons, so I generally keep my Strength and Agility at a tenth of my Vitality, allowing me to maintain a permanent 10x boost. Well, so long as I don't overexert myself."
"That's still pretty broken," said Mina. "Especially with your Quirk allowing you to redistribute your attributes. Since we gain at least 15 attribute points per Level, that means your power and speed increase by 100% of their base every eight Levels."
Blinking in surprise, as he wasn't yet accustomed to Mina being 'smart,' Izuku paused for a moment before responding, "You're not wrong. But, even if I one day surpass All Might, that doesn't mean I'll be invincible. Certain Quirks have the potential to ignore the difference in Level and stats outright. Space Hero Thirteen's 'Black Hole' is a good example, as even if I had a million Vitality, I'd still be atomized if I came into contact with her power directly. There is also a member of the police force with a Quirk called 'Scissors' that allows her to cut through anything by making a cutting gesture with her fingers or legs..."
Shaking his head, Izuku asserted, "Levels and attributes aren't absolute. Aizawa-sensei can take out people with Mutant and Enhancement-type Quirks despite having a smaller stature and a much weaker physique. His Dexterity is one reason, but that came about as a result of his techniques and his experience cultivated fighting foes more powerful than himself. If he had access to powerful Support Items, he'd be an absolute beast with his ability to negate other people's Quirks..."
"In other words, we shouldn't underestimate people just because our Level is higher. Is that what you're trying to say?" asked Tsuyu.
Nodding in affirmation, Izuku replied, "That's exactly right. I mean, just look at our Principal. He's basically stuck at Level 8, but he's one of the most influential people in the entire world. If you gave him time to plan and prepare, he could probably take on all of us without raising a finger against us directly..."
Shaking his head a second time, Izuku added, "Anyways, we're getting off track. I'm down if everyone wants to take a break and hit the beach, but since we've already gathered like this, we might as well get in a few hours of studying. The CBEs are only twenty days from now, and the Provisional Licensing Exam is two days later. We have an advantage over most other students participating in the Exam, but it's better to be overprepared than under..."
"Eh, so long as we get to go to the beach at least once during Summer Break, I'm fine," said Mina. "Just don't forget that you 'owe' me since my birthday took place over the Summer Training Camp. We should hit up the city at least once before we return to Shizuoka."
Adopting a wry smile, Izuku teased, "And here I was, hoping you had forgotten about it. Now my surprise isn't going to be nearly as effective..."
Covering her mouth to stifle a mischievous snicker, Mina narrowed her eyes and playfully retorted, "Then I suppose you'll just have to make it extra special or surprising to compensate~."
"I'll keep that in mind," replied Izuku. He had already made plans for him and Mina to go skydiving, but since she wanted something 'extra special,' he figured they could go paragliding or cliff diving afterward. Then, once things started to cool down, they could retire to a hotel where he would present her with the acid-proof outfit he had custom-made for her when she accepted his suggestion of 'Pink Majin' as a Hero Name...
