73 Chapter 72
With Foundational Heroics classes being canceled for the week preceding Final Exams, allowing students to cram, train or rest at their leisure, Izuku could spend his afternoons however he pleased. He intended to use that time to prepare for the CBEs Nezu had informed him about, but he wasn't surprised when the girls invited themselves over to his place, gathering in his room to chat about what he and Momo had done the previous day.
"You have a sex dungeon in your house!?" asked Mina, her golden eyes glistening with interest as she never expected one of her friends to have such an 'interesting' place within their home.
Though Mina's outburst caused her to blush, Momo was fairly calm as she answered, "Yes, though I only learned about it yesterday. It was quite the surprise."
"I'll bet!" replied Mina, her expression gaining a hint of incredulity as she looked over to Izuku and added, "I never expected you and Izuku-kun to have sex so soon, much less get engaged. Guess that just leaves Kyouka and me. I'm starting to get nervous..."
Adopting an assuring smile, Momo asserted, "There's nothing for you to be nervous about. Izuku-kun is a passionate but considerate lover. From the start until the very end, I've never felt more safe, secure...and loved."
With all the girls abruptly shifting their gazes to him, Izuku smiled wryly as he responded with a curt, "I try." before adopting a more relaxed smile and musing, "And I don't stop until the girl I'm with is satisfied..."
Having experienced Izuku's 'attentiveness' firsthand, Ochaco, Toru, and Tsuyu nodded, the latter affirming, "It's true. Izuku-chan can sometimes be a little 'too thorough' but feels amazing. Having him touch me is much better than doing it myself, ribbit."
"Yeah, it is pretty exciting," agreed Mina. All she and Izuku did was touch, kiss, and do a bit of foreplay, but it caused her heart to race each time. If he were a bit more 'assertive,' they probably would have already had sex. But because she had asked him to wait, Izuku only teased her a bit, never outright pressuring her to give in.
"I totally agree!" exclaimed Toru. "But, instead of talking about having fun, why don't we? Izuku already installed sound panels and stuff, so we could do it right now if everyone wanted!"
Raising her left hand, Kyouka, her apathetic expression tinged by a faint blush, stated, "That's a little too extreme. Besides, Izuku-kun's trying to study. We shouldn't bother him too much..."
Nodding in agreement, Ochaco said, "Kyouka's right. I wouldn't mind if everyone agreed, but we promised Izuku we'd focus on our studies and training to become Heroes. Since the school gave us this time to prepare for the Finals, we shouldn't be fooling around too much. They're less than a week away, after all."
Prompted by Ochaco's words, Momo supplied a nod of her own, adding, "My opinion is in line with Jiro-san and Uraraka-san. I also have my status as Class Representative to consider, so let's postpone this discussion for later. We'll have ample time to chat and deepen our bonds come Summer Break. I have a prior commitment the first week, and we'll all be attending the Summer Training Camp, but everyone is welcome to stay at the estate the remaining three weeks, supposing your parents permit it."
"Oh, heck yeah!" exclaimed Mina, keen to see and potentially experience the rumored sex dungeon for herself. She expected that she and Kyouka would lose their virginity before or during Izuku's birthday, so they would have a few weeks to deepen their relationship before 'experimenting' with more advanced plays.
Though she was also excited by the prospect of staying at Momo's villa, albeit for very different reasons than Mina, Ochaco couldn't help asking, "What will you be doing the first week? I noticed that Izuku is also busy that week, so are the two of you going somewhere?"
As she was the one who kept Izuku's schedule, Momo smiled assuringly as she replied, "Worry not, Uraraka-san. While I certainly wouldn't mind accompanying Izuku on a romantic tryst, we would never depart on such a long holiday without informing everyone here."
Shaking her head, Momo revealed, "My commitment has to do with my family. My Grandfather has invited me to attend this year's I-Island Expo, so I'll be there for approximately two days before meeting my parents in Venice. Everyone here is more than welcome to join me, but I only have three additional tickets for the Expo itself."
While everyone was understandably excited by the opportunity to attend such a major event, Izuku was a little surprised, garnering their attention by remarking, "Wow, what a coincidence. I'll also be attending this year's I-Island Expo. I actually received quite a few invitations, including one for placing first in this year's Sports Festival."
"That's wonderful!" exclaimed Momo, clapping her hands together in delight, excited by the prospect of everyone attending the event together.
Adopting an apologetic smile, Izuku explained, "I have a bunch of spare tickets, but the truth is that I'll be attending the event alongside All Might, kind of as the school's Student Representative. I would be happy to walk around with everyone, but I'm not sure how much free time I'll have."
Though she mellowed out quite a bit, Momo still had a smile on her face as she replied, "I see. I should have expected as much, given your status and close association with the Principal."
Nodding his head, Izuku elucidated, "The first item on my itinerary is a meeting with David Shield, All Might's original Sidekick. After that, I'm scheduled to tour I-Island Academy's facilities, Student Dormitory, and Exhibition Hall. I would have been a student there if I hadn't gotten into UA, so I'm curious to see what I missed out on."
"Holy cow," remarked Toru. "Isn't David Shield, like, the world's smartest man and the most talented inventor in history? I never knew he was All Might's Sidekick!"
"It was a long time ago," replied Izuku. "But yeah, that's the same David Shield I'm referencing. I'm pretty excited since I've admired him since I began developing and modifying patents a few years back."
"I'm happy for you," said Momo, stealing the opportunity from Ochaco and Tsuyu. She was less reserved now that they had sex and got engaged, so she was inadvertently suppressing the more reticent girls with her bubbly demeanor.
Fortunately, it wasn't like Momo prohibited them from speaking, so Tsuyu offered a curt "So am I." while Ochaco smiled awkwardly, adding, "I hope your meeting goes well. Though, with All Might present, I doubt anything bad will happen..."
As everyone in Izuku's Party could view at least a simplified version of the other members' status screens, Ochaco and the other girls present had all seen Toshinori's stats. They were understandably shocked when they first saw it but had since come to regard it as an exceptional positive. After all, with All Might standing so far above even a powerful Pro like Mirko, even the most hardened villains had no choice but to keep their heads down to avoid being defeated and thrown in prison. He was the reason Japan had a crime rate of six percent, surpassing the Netherlands, the country with the second lowest, by more than seven percent.
"Yeah, I'm not too worried," replied Izuku. "I-Island's security is said to rival that of Tartarus, the greatest Supermax prison in the world. Unless they were batshit insane, no one would be foolish enough to attack such a secure location when some of the most powerful Heroes from across the globe are present."
Though he was initially certain of his claim, Izuku's [Intuition] triggered the moment he finished speaking. He didn't know if it was specifically due to his comment or if it was related to the I-Island Expo, but he now had a distinct impression that something, somewhere, was either happening at that exact moment or would occur at some point in the future...
("What an annoying Perk...")

With everyone agreeing to focus on their training and studies, Izuku made decent progress in his preparations for the CBEs. Temporarily boosting his Intelligence to 200 made learning and retaining new information as simple and gratifying as taking a hot shower. The downside was that his general education classes had become even more monotonous, incentivizing him to spend all but Midnight's class studying other subjects.
Speaking of Midnight, the R-Rated Heroine had offered to provide 'proper guidance' after learning about 'Momo's Sex Dungeon' through the private group chat. Marginally more surprising was that all the girls, even Kyouka, had agreed to participate in her lessons. Instead of going over to Momo's house, however, the 'guidance' took place at a hidden location within the school, presumably Nemuri's private dungeon. Izuku didn't know for sure, as he had been barred from attending the lessons before his birthday. As such, he was in for a treat or, at the very least, a surprise come the 15th...

[July 12th, 2149]
After breezing through the written exams that took place Monday through Thursday, Izuku, and the rest of Class 1-A, had been gathered to hear the contents of the Practical Exam that Friday morning.
Contrasting Izuku's expectations, meaning he owed all the girls brand new necklaces, Aizawa announced, "Now that you have finished your Written Exams, it's time to move on to the Practical. This year, Class 1-A and Class 1-B will be pitted against one another to see who can destroy the most robots or secure a specific objective within a given period. You can still pass even if our Class loses, but it will ultimately depend on your individual merits and cooperation."
Directing his gaze to the rightmost back corner of the room, specifically where Izuku and Momo were seated, Aizawa added, "Since Midoriya and Yaoyorozu are the Class Representatives, they'll be in charge of forming and directing the reconnaissance, support, attack, and defense squads. That said, the two of you will be under greater scrutiny as this exam will also determine if you are qualified to retain your current positions. If you prove incapable of leading your classmates during a crisis, someone more qualified will replace you. Understood?"
Nodding his head, Izuku replied with a curt, "Understood," while Momo responded with a determined but audibly apprehensive, "I-I'll give it my best shot, Aizawa-sensei!"
Instead of responding to the two, Aizawa passed his gaze over the rest of the Class, stating, "This is an exam where cooperation is the key focus. If you are seen trying to undermine your classmates, expect repercussions. No less than sixteen students are waiting to be transferred into the Hero Course, so if you can't cut it, that is exactly what will happen. You will be cut from the program."
Emphasizing his point, Aizawa made a cutting gesture across his throat with his thumb. In reality, only two students were looking to transfer into the Hero program for the second term, but that wouldn't have sounded very threatening. The more 'replacements' there were, the more pressure those near the bottom of the Rankings would feel. Thus, if they wanted to remain in Class 1-A, they would have no choice but to give it their all.
Finished with what he had to say, Aizawa began making his way toward the exit, saying, "Change into your costumes and make your way over to Ground Beta. Anyone who fails to arrive within half an hour automatically fails the exam."
Prompted by Aizawa's words, everyone in Class 1-A jumped up from their seats, retrieving their respective briefcases as quickly as possible. It took at least ten minutes to reach Ground Beta from the classroom. Accounting for the time it would take for some of them to change into their costumes or use the bathroom, thirty minutes wasn't a lot of time...

(A/N: Since there was no uptick in villain/nomu attacks, the battle exam against the teachers won't be taking place. Instead, this is the first of many joint exams/competitions between Classes 1-A and 1-B. Time for the MC to show off a bit o3o...)
