Cyde chapter 8 . 7/20 Aizawa's honest appraisal of Izumi was... unexpectedly touching. |
EndlessChains chapter 10 . 7/19 A well done chapter. Quite interesting to read what the class thought of Izumi's quirk while on their way to the USJ. It would seem she is quite the enigma when it comes to her classmates, but many would agree that she has quite the strong quirk and analytical mind. Proven true when looking at her point of view and seeing that she keeps thinking and thinking about various situations. The USJ attack was amazing to read with how Izumi was all calm like and summoned her monsters to take care of the surrounding villains. Nicely done with describing how Yura was feeling when seeing the monsters herself. It would be quite the frightening sight I am sure. Her fight against the Nomu was quite impressive with how she was able to save Tsuyu and Mineta and then using her monsters to apprehend the Nomu. It would seem Shigaraki was no match for her and good thing as her drawback came into play. She is learning to be a bit more social as well as knowing who to come to when it came to her well being and it was a very endearing scene to read. Base on the hint, it is a nintendo game from Atlus is what I am guessing is what it meant. So how about Tokyo Mirage Session. Sounds almost right with a combination of Fire Emblem and Persona. Thank you. Keep up the good work. |
Kleave guy chapter 10 . 7/18 This story is really good in my opinion, really good so far. We will watch your career with great interest! |
TampaBayMike95 chapter 10 . 7/18 awesome |
MosesArk Reborn2000 chapter 9 . 7/17 Great match, Bakugo should have seen something like that happen but hey, he was never one to observe others so it came to bite him and Iida in the ass. Momo taking out Iida all sneaky like gave me the mental image of Jerry sneaking up on Tom with a bat. Funny? Yes. Painful? Also yes. |
PikaMew1288 chapter 2 . 7/15 It's not that bad Inko! At least she hasn't been summoning the Beasts of TYPE-MOON, The White Titan, Amateratsu or Primate Murder! Though that DOES beg the question of what a Izumi that has a connection to the Root like that girl from Fate/Prototype would do? Would she use it to acquire the True Magicks? What about access to the Gate of Babylon or a way to become a True Ancestor without Bloodlust? |
EndlessChains chapter 9 . 7/12 A well done chapter. The Battle Trials was amazing to read with Momo and Izumi teaming up to be quite the combination when it comes to their creations. Very well described on how things went for both teams using Iida and Momo's point of view about their classmates. It was interesting to read what sort of plan Izumi came up with in order to take down Iida and Katsuki. Not to mention what Katsuki and Iida were talking about as they waded their way through the mist to find the other team. It would seem Katsuki thinks a bit more, but is still too bull headed to think straight when it comes to Izumi it would seem. He is getting a bit calmer though, but his personality won't change overnight. Itsuka and Setsuna's point of view was interesting with thinking how they would be able to help Izumi open up more. Nicely done with explaining Izumi's personality with these two to show that her social skills are severely lacking. Poor Setsuna. Back at the guessing. With the hints you gave, I did look try to look at some of the games that debuted with Persona, but there was quite a bit and if I look past the shooting games and Shogi games as well as SMT, I think the monsters are referenced from Devil Survivor. Thank you. Keep up the good work. |
TampaBayMike95 chapter 9 . 7/11 awesome plz keep it coming |
EndlessChains chapter 8 . 7/8 A well done chapter. Nicely done with the point of view from Present Mic, Midnight, and Eraserhead. It was amusing to read their reactions of watching Izumi do the Entrance Exam as well as when doing the Quirk Assessment. Very adorable to read how Izumi was the only one to respond to Present Mic in her own sleepy way or going about her way through the test sleepily. At least these three and Nezu see the potential in her to be someone great with the monsters that she creates to help her fight and how she counters her narcoleptic tendencies. It will be an interesting year that is for sure as the first day is done and can't wait to read her classmates' reaction to her as well as when she will meet Itsuka and Setsuna in the other Heroics Class. Also, I agree with your assessment of how the classes were divided on how the teachers would be able to react to the students and their quirks. Since they are young and need to learn better control so it is up to the teachers to be able to put a stop to them over using or abusing said quirk. My guess this time would be that it is from Shin Megami Tensei series. It is an Atlus game as well as having various monsters in its arsenal that kind of describes the monsters. Quite difficult when there are a lot of Atlus Games, but kind of fun when trying to guess. One of them at the beginning could be Nyartholep, but the description seems to be a bit off. This chapter definitely made me think of Pokemon when you were describing Alolan Exegutor. My vote would be Izumi and Rumi story. Thank you. Keep up the good work. |
MosesArk Reborn2000 chapter 8 . 7/8 How is it that each chapter, you somehow manage to make this girl even cuter. We didn't even need to see her from her own point of view, rather we see her from the points of view of her future teachers. I already had a feeling that Present Mic and Midnight would compare her to Aizawa, only younger and more child friendly as her smiles don't look like they belong to a nightmare clown, I love Aizawa but he should really not smile like that. How she performed in the combat portion also made sense when you take into account how her quirk works and her goal of becoming a support hero. the trick with that cute little monster was quite clever so I can see why Aizawa didn't give her grief about it as most people have it in their heads that Eraser is really unsympathetic to students with none flashy combat orientated quirks. Hell, the guy may even take a liking to her, it would so funny if the students and other teachers see the two of them having their own little nap corner with sleeping bags and everything. I would say my vote is tied between the Izuku x Rumi story as I would really be interested in what the hell a quirkless Izuku did to garner her attention in the first place and the OFA Miro/quirked Izumu sibling thing seeing how Mirio takes after his dad is just about every but hair colour, Izumi takes after her mom so it would funny for people to see that each kid is like a clone of their parent. |
memeboi13 chapter 8 . 7/7 My friend, can I interest you in making Midnight Midoriya's unofficial mentor? I have always liked interactions between female Izukus and Midnight since Midnight always "corrupts" her into coming out of her shell. Seeing her seduce Setsuna instead of always being the one being teased would be pretty funny and possibly fun to write. |
Guest chapter 8 . 7/7 This story is really cool. I vote for the izumixpony story. |
Guest chapter 8 . 7/7 A 1-B quirked Izumi x Pony story (Slightly comedic) An aged up aged down quirkless Izumi x Rumi (Miruko) story (No real action, mainly Romance) I'd be down for either of these |
ILikeFoxes828 chapter 8 . 7/7 Hmm, I'd chose to go with the 1-B Izumi and Pony, because it's always nice to have serious and hard by stories but tissue always better if there's one with a light mood and, of course, miserable puns! Anyhow great chapter again, I like how you've got Aizawa as her home room teacher and him approving of how she finds the right time to sleep. |
Nano12Might chapter 8 . 7/7 I think the Izumi x pony story would be cool but I do like Izumi x Rumi looks interesting |
