In the end, they’ve decided to wait until they have enough mana to create everyone at once, instead of bringing them one after another. It was best to have that talk once and have them all get over it together.
That and, well, Izuku just doesn’t feel like explaining where they are and how it all happened so many times. It’s bad enough that they’ll have to do that again a hundred more times in the future.
It took them more than a day to fill up their mana storage, and even that only because they were already mostly filled before that. And they simply don’t have enough of the residual mana capacity for Shigaraki and Midoriya to be a part of the talk physically.
They use their powers and suddenly their Throne Room is filled with people. On one side, Uraraka and Toga in their new outfits alongside Kirishima, Yaoyorozu, Monoma and Spinner.
On the other side, Reiko Yanagi in her black robes, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu looking even more similar to Kirishima than usual (thanks to matching clothes and ogre physique), Ashido who grew to almost two meters of height, Tokage with her brand new pair of wolf ears and a tail, Mr. Compress (nearly unrecognizable without his signature outfit) and Kaminari Denki.
Who just looked confused. Then again, Kaminari always looked confused.
“Ah! Villains!” Ashido reacts first, noticing Toga and Spinner in front of her, only to freeze a second later when she saw Kirishima stand right next to the latter. Looking similar yet different to her memories. “Wait, what’s going on? Kiri, since when are you so… errr… horny? And why is everyone so stra… aah!”
It’s at this point that she realizes that she, too, is horny. Much more than she used to be. Her initial reaction to this was to grab her horns and use her hands to figure out just how large they were exactly.
The others didn’t speak before her, likely because they were a bit too busy with the things they were holding in their own hands. Ashido had the advantage of having empty hands. So did Kaminari, but…
Kaminari did the usual Kaminari thing and remained confused. His initial reaction was to wave to the group in front of him before realizing that Toga and Spinner were there, which made him even more confused, but also on his guard.
“Huh.” Yanagi’s reaction is much more restrained. She just looks at the staff in her hands before raising her eyes to look at the group in front of her. “What’s going on?”
Mr. Compress looks at Spinner, who nods back. He then relaxes visibly, reassured that this wasn’t a hero trap or something like that.
“Uhm, guys?” Setsuna speaks next. “Why do I have big ears on top of my head?”
That was going to be an interesting talk, that’s for sure.
***
Discovering that you’re a copy of whom you remember yourself to be, spirited away to a fantasy world by an insane god to be a part of their nonsensical scheme is something that everyone reacts to differently.
There is always a denial phase, which is when they look for logical alternatives to what they were just told. Like, say, all of it being a wacky dream. There is also at least one person who suspects it all to be a scheme of some mind-controlling villain.
Eventually, however, everyone has no other choice but to face reality. And they do so rather quickly. They lived in the era of the supernatural, after all. Star and Stripe could probably send someone into another universe, if she fancied that and was ready to deal with the murder accusation.
Sure, it was outlandish. Sure, it was terrifying. But nothing was breathing down their necks with an intent to murder them, so they had the time to process the news and get used to what was now going to be their life.
Spinner has quickly took Mr. Compress aside to explain the situation to him, offering him the ability to steal from people in this universe (and how that was pretty much their job) in exchange for not going batshit insane.
This has made the talk between the hero students significantly less awkward. Toga was still there, but she and Uraraka were staying two or three meters away from the main group, which allowed the others to act as if Toga wasn’t actually there.
“Alright.” Tokage says before taking a deep breath and then continuing. “I think that I managed to process all of that. I really don’t have any words to describe my own thoughts on the subject. This is… this is just damn crazy!”
“To say the least.” Yanagi says in her usual calm and almost emotionless voice. “Good choice of class for me, Monoma-kun. I owe you one.”
“I knew you’d love it.” Monoma replies while nodding back at her. “Oh, by the way, Komori is here too. She’s now living her dream as a spirit of a magical tree, some levels above us. All while maybe sulking a little over not being allowed to sing her enemies a song before the fight.”
“Oh.” Yanagi lets out. She looks at the floor before her for a few seconds before raising her eyes to face Monoma again. “I guess that she’s doing well in her second life.”
“She does.” Monoma agrees with her. “Almost disturbingly so. I wish I could say that it’s because she became a daemon, but to be honest, I just don’t know. She could as well just be like this from the start. Would explain a lot.”
Yanagi tilts her head a little.
“Are you sure that you shouldn’t have stayed with the character class that you mentioned?” She asks. “You know, the one that strengthens other people by making them angry. I think you’d be a natural.”
Yaoyorozu mouths ‘ouch’ in the background. Ashido noticed that and responded to it with a giggle. Someone was definitely recovering from the existential dread as well.
“I’m dying of laughter.” Monoma says dryly. This makes Tokage and Tetsutetsu chuckle. Making Monoma miserable (within reason, of course) seemed to be a 1-B thing.
“The only alternative to switching his class was to bring Yui Kodai as a hedge mage in his stead.” Yaoyorozu pitches in from the side. “However, that was…”
“No.” Yanagi says in her usual expressionless way, interrupting Yaoyorozu.
“Absolutely no.” Tokage shakes her head.
“THAT’S A HORRIBLE IDEA!” Tetsutetsu speaks at his usual high volume.
… really?
“I…” Yaoyorozu blurts while staring at them in confusion. “I thought that Monoma-kun was pulling my leg when he vetoed that idea.”
“No, no he didn’t.” Yanagi says, looking away from her. “No, he didn’t.” She then repeats much quieter.
“Yui Kodai unleashed upon the world without laws.” Tokage shivers. “No, just no . A thousand thanks to you for saving us from that, Monoma-kun. Whatever points you’ve lost by antagonizing 1-A all the time, you have regained today. At least in my eyes.”
Monoma shakes his head at that but says nothing.
“THAT’S A HORRIBLE IDEA!” Tetsutetsu says, repeating his earlier words.
…
I’m as curious as I’m terrified
Let’s just avoid the subject for now
I feel as if they’d keel over and die if we kept digging into it right now
You actually noticed it?!
I’M FUCKING LEARNING YOU PRICK
“Al…right?” Yaoyorozu says slowly, before deciding to make a metaphorical step back. “So, I know that it was a lot to swallow, but I have to ask. Are you alright? We need people ready to fight as soon as possible, especially if the Bloom’s cult comes back soon.”
“I don’t expect any problems with that.” Tokage replies. The looks she gets in response are mildly concerned, to put it mildly. She sighs. “We can fight. We were trained to fight, and after the mess that the Training Camp was, I’m ready to hazard a statement that we can work under pressure. When it comes to processing all the revelations, it’ll take us a while to get over it. And even more time for us to start figuring out new goals and plans now that the others are, how should I put it…”
“Tragically unavailable.” Yanagi pitches in.
“Tragically unavailable, yeah.” Tokage agrees with her. “In short, we’ll do fine, just… I don’t know about the others, but I still wish to close my eyes and wake up in my bed.”
“You’re not the only one.” Yaoyorozu sighs as a few people from the crowd nod. “But I doubt it will happen. Although a part of me can’t help but imagine all of us coming back to Earth just to meet our original selves, and all the chaos that it would cause.”
She had the self-control not to look at Uraraka and Toga when saying that, but the same couldn’t be said about Kirishima. At least the glance was brief, but Uraraka still glared daggers at him for about two seconds.
Izuku himself can only wonder about the sheer amount of weirdness that his reappearance on Earth would cause. He would have to go there with the Dungeon as a whole, as that was pretty much his body now, right?
Nedzu would probably get worryingly excited over the prospect of having something that could top the robots and the whole Entrance Exam. Not to mention a combat training area that could easily reconfigure itself to remain ever-changing.
Shame that would never happen.
“I think it’s cool.” Yanagi states. “I’m a necromancer now.” She glances at the staff in her hands one more time. “Cool.”
What do you think are the chances of Yanagi becoming a devout worshiper of Nex?
100% once she learns of him
Guess we agree on that.
“So, what about you?” Yaoyorozu then looks at Kaminari and Ashido. The former was still confused, the latter strangely unreadable. “You’ve been oddly quiet the whole time.”
“I guess that I’m fine too.” Ashido sighs. “I only have a single problem. I don’t like having villains around! Look, I get it, we’re all in the same boat, but it’s a lot for me to swallow and…” She glances at Uraraka. “I mean, you’re the last person whom I expected to tolerate Toga, much less get along with her!”
“Tolerate? Get along?” Uraraka raises an eyebrow. “I think that you’ve misunderstood something. I don’t tolerate nor get along with her. This is something else.”
“Huh?” Ashido blinks at her. “What do you mean?”
“Uraraka-san has gone a bit native.” Kirishima replies for Uraraka. “It took me a while to come to this decision, but I believe that I can now confidently say that she did so in a very manly way.”
That gets him a toothy grin from Uraraka.
‘What are you talking about, Kiri?” Ashido asks him before glancing at Uraraka. “Sure, her choice of clothes has changed in a pretty interesting direction, but I don’t see how that has…”
Uraraka decides to leave nothing left to doubt and wraps her arm around Toga’s shoulder before pulling her in just to quickly kiss her, Toga naturally - and enthusiastically - reciprocating.
All the newcomers are shocked speechless, with the sole exception of Kaminari. Who quietly spoke a single word, addressed likely to himself.
Said word was ‘hot’.
Ashido recovers from the shock first.
“No.” She says as she blinks at Uraraka a few times, as if hoping that it would make the hallucination in front of her dissolve. “No! This is unholy! This is wrong! You’re not allowed to do that!”
…
…what?
Kirishima coughs loudly into his hand, interrupting the resulting silence and getting Ashido to look at him.
“Wording, please.” He then quickly says. “They might get the wrong idea.”
“Wrong id… Oh!” Ashido realizes what he meant almost immediately. “It’s not about them being girls, it’s about this relationship not being on my 1-A and 1-B shipping chart! It’s thus non-canon! Uraraka-san is shipped with Midoriya-kun while Toga is shipped with a prison sentence! I refuse to accept anything else.”
“It’s merely a small modification of your shipping chart.” Yaoyorozu says, her voice betraying just how exasperated she was by where the whole situation spiraled off into. “As both Uraraka-san and Toga are in relationship with Midoriya-kun.”
Why are we even having this talk?
You had snuggles with two girls, now deal with the social consequences lol
I’ll gladly deal with them, all while warming my heart with the knowledge that you’ll never have to deal with them yourself.
…
STOP BEING SO FUCKING SMUG ABOUT GETTING LAID
Nope.
This time the first person to react to what was just said was, oddly enough, Kaminari. He, once again, said the word ‘hot’ to himself. They’re yet to inform him how much better a beastkin’s sense of hearing was.
“That’s… alright.” Ashido takes a deep breath all while taking in the new information. “I didn’t consider the IzuOchaToga as a possible ship due to Toga’s bloodthirsty proclivities and Midori giving me the vibes of being too innocent to even consider such a thing, so I guess that one’s on me for misinterpreting the people involved.”
Is there someone normal among you hero students?
That depends entirely on your definition of normal.
so the answer’s no, okay
“I think that it’s time to have this talk.” Kirishima nods to himself before slapping his cheeks for self-motivation and approaching Ashido. And then, when he’s standing right in front of her, he speaks. “Ashido-san, I have bad news for you. Your shipping chart is fundamentally flawed and thus non-canon.”
“What?!” Ashido recoils back as if she just received a physical blow. “This cannot be!”
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
“Are they making fun of us or not?” Monoma quietly asks Yaoyorozu in the background.
“I have absolutely no idea.” Yaoyorozu replies, her face betraying the severe confusion she was in as she observed one of the weirdest and least expected exchanges in the history of 1-A.
“It can be.” Kirishima nods with an extremely serious look on his face. “Ashido-san, I need to tell you something truly, truly terrible. And I can’t apologize enough for not being manly enough to confront you about it earlier. Even if I did because I didn’t want to see you sad, it was still incredibly unmanly for me.”
“W-what are you talking about?” Ashido takes one more step back, looking at Kirishima with genuine fear on her face.
“Ashido-san.” Kirishima looks straight into her eyes while holding her shoulders. “I’m not gay.”
what the actual fuck
I… don’t know?
What should have been a quick and largely inconsequential statement seemed to have sent Ashido into a state of severe shock. She stared at Kirishima wide-eyed and slackjawed for about four seconds before her mind rebooted. “No!” She stammers out. “No, it cannot be! You’re gay! You were always gay! I… I even had Satou bake you a cake on the first of June! It was all rainbow!”
“I know.” Kirishima nods with a pained look on his face, still holding Ashido to stop her from trying to run away. Or from slamming her head into the floor after fainting. “It was delicious. And your idea to have Satou decorate it with protein powder was a stroke of genius. But you haven’t told me what you meant by it, and I was so much of a dumbass that I didn’t realize the implications until Bakubro explained it to me.”
“No, no, no!” Ashido is still in denial. “This isn’t possible, I… I shipped you with Bakugou for a reason! You had such great chemistry together and… and I did my best to help you spend as much time together as possible! To give you two a push that you needed to realize your feelings for each other!”
“Bakugou-kun is gay.” Kirishima replies calmly. That information is news to Izuku, who really isn’t sure what to think about it. “But I’m not. And I thought that you were simply being friendly towards both of us. I thought that it was super manly of you, and learning the real reasoning behind it didn’t change my mind.”
“B-b-but when Aizawa told us how everyone involved with the Kamino Rescue Squad should have been expelled, he had Kaminari-kun go past his wattage limit so that his moronic babbling would distract everyone! Just so that he could give you back the money for the night vision goggles you bought during the mission without anyone noticing it!” Ashido then replies. This time Izuku is surprised for a different reason - he didn’t notice any of that! “All of that because you looked down!”
“Yes.” Kirishima nods again. “Like a best friend would. And while it’s kinda unmanly to think that a man needs romantic feelings for their fellow man to be nice to them, it’s Bakubro we’re talking about so I understand.”
Did he just diss your ‘childhood friend’
No.
He proved that he knows him well.
“No!” Ashido refuses to back down, searching for anything, anything that would validate both her very existence and her shipping chart. “You went to the I-Island together! You even slept in one bed!”
“Well, yes.” Kirishima pulls one of his hands away from her shoulder just to scratch the side of his head nervously. “But that’s because neither of our families are wealthy enough to get us such a visit and make it all-inclusive. We were just trying to save some money. And, uhm, you didn’t think that we had done anything in that bed, right?”
The blush that blooms on Ashido’s face tells Izuku everything that he needed to know about that. Yes. Yes, she thought that something has happened there. Izuku has no idea what to think about it, so he elects to throw it out of his memory.
“My life!” Ashido slumps onto her knees, Kirishima letting her go while making sure that she wasn’t all-around collapsing, just acting. “It has been a lie! All of it!”
“Don’t worry, Ashido-san.” Kirishima replies immediately while helping her stand up. “It might have been a lie, and your shipping chart was never truly valid. But it’s a new world. You can make a new shipping chart. And there are so many more people to involve in it!”
please don’t involve me in it
You really think that anyone would want to be involved with you?
One day I’m going to prove you wrong, and then I’ll laugh at the memory of this sentence
Riiiight.
“You’re right!” Ashido stands up, her mood changing almost instantly. “You’re so right, Kiri! I’m going to make the most detailed, most insane and yet the most correct shipping chart ever! I’ll help everyone, everyone find the love they deserve!”
In your case the challenge isn’t to find the love you deserve, it’s finding someone who deserves the punishment that is you.
Now you’re just being mean
I know.
And you’re going to regret that in a minute
Huh?
“That’s the spirit, Ashido-san.” Kirishima nods with a wide smile on his face. “This is you at your manliest, always doing your best to make everyone happy! If you need my help, just ask, okay? I feel kind of bad about not telling you the truth earlier.”
“Alright!” Ashido grins back at him. “I’ll go Plus Ultra on that! And thank you for coming out, errr, in reverse! Admitting that I was mistaken about you the whole time required some balls. Manly!”
“A bit.” Kirishima nods once again. “I just didn’t want you to feel bad about the whole thing, and I didn’t know how to break the news to you. It’s a weight off my shoulder, truly! I promised myself that I’d have that talk with you the moment you come to life.”
I’m the most emotionally stunted and romantically disinterested person in this fucking room
And even I can clearly see that all your attempts to ship him with the Bakubrat made him fall in love with you and that’s why admitting all that emotional fucking bullshit was so much of a problem to him
Get a room so that we can all move over to something constructive
The room went dead silent after his words, Kirishima and Ashido staring at each other in total shock as both of them began to rapidly blush. Which makes Izuku realize something terrible.
Not only did Shigaraki correctly read two people he barely ever interacted with (and that Izuku failed to read despite spending much more time with them around), he also managed to successfully retaliate to Izuku’s own attacks.
Shigaraki was learning. And that was terrifying.
I can’t believe what you just did.
blasted you back by messing up with your classmates all while saving them a few weeks of tiptoeing around the subject as if they were characters in some stupid slowburn romcom
No, you butted into someone’s love life unpromted, making them - if they end up getting together - forever remember that it was you who made them get together.
You’ve tainted their memories of this day by being in the picture.
I assure you that it was all my intention all along and that making them suffer is just a bonus reward to me
I have to be on a lookout to mess up with you hero students some more
Each time something like this happens, I know that I shouldn't expect anything more from you, and yet you still manage to disappoint me each time with what an awful person you are.
fuck you
“Alright, so I guess we should move all of that elsewhere and finish the talk here instead of standing in the middle of an empty room.” Yaoyorozu decides to quickly change the subject. “We should also have you test all your new skills before we’ll make any plans that include you fighting anyone. Uraraka-san?”
“Alright!” Uraraka raises her arm in a triumphant salute. Naturally, she raises the one that didn’t have Himiko wrapped around it. “Onwards, to adventure!”
She probably didn’t like Yaoyorozu usurping the decision making in the party, but immediately decided that everything is better than staying around and dealing with any of the lovey-dovey stuff in front of her.
***
They spent the rest of the day figuring out their combat skills. And yes, Mr. Compress is there as well. And yes, Kirishima and Ashido spend most of this time unable to even look in each other’s direction, for obvious reasons.
Shigaraki has made everything super awkward. And, naturally, was enjoying that fact immensely, to Izuku’s consistent suffering.
The rest of the evening was composed mostly of people picking up their quarters. The first five apartments belonged to (from left to right): Spinner, Monoma, Kirishima, Yaoyorozu and, finally, the trio of Izuku, Himiko and Ochako.
The second row of five apartments now belonged to Mr. Compress, Yanagi, Tokage, Tetsutetsu, Kaminari and, finally, Ashido. With this, they’ve managed to fit everyone inside!
Actually, no. No, they didn’t. They had one person too many in the second row and that promised them further mana spending, which made Shigaraki grumble something about wasting resources on useless things.
“I… uhm…” Ashido looks to the side, clearly not knowing how to say it while being painfully aware that saying the same thing while facing any of them would be undescribably awkward. “I wouldn’t mind… sleeping on the couch, somewhere else you know. It feels like… it feels as if getting you to make me a separate house right now would just waste more p-points and…”
“T-that sounds like a b-bad thing.” Kirishima interrupts her before immediately freaking out and looking elsewhere. “T-that’s not how you should b-be l-living. Thus I t-think that I s-should prove m-my manliness and be the o-one to sleep on the c-couch.” He flinches as he realizes something. “That’s i-if you wanted to l-live together with me that is! I-I’ll understand if you d-don’t.”
“You l-lived here before me.” Ashido replies quickly. “I w-wouldn’t want to intrude.”
“You don’t!” Kirishima says before she can continue, only to immediately freak out a little bit. “I mean… you wouldn’t i-intrude at all! In fact, I invite you to… errr… I mean, i-i-if you w-want to…” Kirishima then has a meltdown when he realizes that he all but invited her to live with him.
Setsuna Tokage facepalms loudly in the background.
“Just move in together and figure out who sleeps where on your own.” Uraraka sighs, having clearly had enough of it. Then again, she isn’t alone in that sentiment.
Thankfully, they listen to her. If they spend a few hours in the same apartment, they should be able to start speaking to each other properly and maybe, just maybe they’ll manage to come to some decisions.
Judging from the fact that they weren’t freaking out even nearly as much on the next day and have officially announced that they were now dating, the problem was properly solved.
***
“I believe that we’ve read enough of the documents and books that we’ve taken from the Northern Wind’ facility to have a talk about it.” Monoma announces the next day. He and Yaoyorozu were in the [Library], which was definitely their little kingdom by now.
Before that, let me ask a question.
Yaoyorozu-san, please be honest with me.
Have you slept tonight?
“No, no I didn’t.” She replies. She was sitting by the desk right next to Monoma’s, with a pile of books on it. One of them was lying on the desk right in front of her. “I do not need sleep, I need answers.”
“No questions about me? I’m hurt.” Monoma comments, just to get a tired stare from Yaoyorozu. “Alright, alright, go on. Unless you want me to go first?
“Do it, I can wait.” Yaoyorozu replies.
“Mhm.” Monoma hums. “I’ve skimmed through the documents I’ve brought with us from the Northern Wind laboratory. If you expect me to provide you with the answers to all your questions, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.”
That bad?
“Whatever organization Northern Wind is, they understand the basics of information security.” Monoma replies. “The level closest to the surface was likely off-limits for anything truly confidential. The documents I found mostly speak of material deliveries, work schedules and similarly mundane matters.”
Shouldn’t the contents of the material deliveries tell you some things?
“Oh, they did.” Monoma waves his hand. “They’ve been moving a lot of laboratory equipment and chemicals into the facility. If I were to guess what they were up to down there, I’d say biochemistry. And rather advanced one, maybe even more than we imagine seeing the amount of words I didn’t recognize. I didn’t find a full employee ledger, but from bits and pieces I gathered that there were about fifty people working down there. That’s pretty much all.”
We’ll have to ask the locals what the Northern Wind is exactly, but that’s still progress.
Thank you!
Is that all?
“From me, yes.” Monoma replies before glancing at Yaoyorozu. “From us, no. Go on.”
“Sure.” Yaoyorozu replies before putting her hand on the book in front of her. “This book happens to be something akin to an atlas of species and subspecies inhabiting this world. Sapient ones, to be clear. It lists the basic information on each of them, including a short historical blurb about their origins, a list of their common biological traits, an anatomical chart of their internal organs and, in case of more populous species and subspecies, a distribution map showing where they live.”
This is a very big book
Just how many species and subspecies are there?
“A lot.” Yaoyorozu replies. “Each of the beastkin subspecies has not one but four entries, for their Telyan, Karadian, Khardic and Menorian variants. Second most internally split species is elves, who have forty-seven different subspecies. In short, we’re not going to run out of unlocks anytime soon, even if more than half of the species and subspecies are either extinct or exist in such a distant place that we’ll likely never meet them.”
Forty-seven?
Looks like it’s an every dwarves-lover nightmare
Awesome
What do you have against dwarves?
Nothing
I just like it when people are pissed off and disappointed
Of course you do.
“I’m still reading this book, and yet I already learned a few things.” Yaoyorozu continues her lecture. “The first thing is about the stone elves. The author of this book appears adamant that their civilization exists entirely underground, in some giant underworld called the Labyrinth.”
FUCK
YES
Underdark found!
They truly did dig too shallow in that mine
kek
Sigh.
“Shigaraki is… being very much himself, but he has a point.” Yaoyorozu replies. She still didn’t seem to like speaking his name aloud. Probably because it reminded her of who she was dealing with. “We don't know how large that mine is, but it’s extremely likely that it leads to a treasure trove of underground biomes. There is also another subject, one much more… interesting. And it’s about the place where we landed ourselves in this world.”
Where is it
“In Europe.” Yaoyorozu replies.
What?
I mean, I know that Europe is so far from us that it sometimes feels like another world, but…
“No, literally.” Yaoyorozu cuts in while shaking her head, before she opens the book in front of her to the world map.
Or, to be exact, a map of a continent, one named Karadia.
Oh
That’s
That’s literally Europe
Okay
I genuinely didn’t see that coming.
“There are differences.” Yaoyorozu corrects them. “Some additional mountain ranges, some slightly different coastlines here and there, and some additional isles surrounding the British Isles. Including this one.” She points to a large island far to the west of the British Isles. “This island is called Vestiria.”
Oh no
Please tell me
that we’re not Brits
What?
Although the animalistic ways of the locals kind of fits, the fact that the beastkin didn’t ask us about our breathing loicenses and didn’t try to confiscate any sharp objects we have doesn’t
“No, we’re not.” Yaoyorozu replies “In terms of culture and politics, Vestiria and Alvaena, which is the name for the country that occupies what was the British Isles in our world, are completely different countries.”
“What a relief.” Monoma states dryly in the background, only to be completely ignored.
Well, that’s great
Anyway
Imagine being isekai’d
and you’re isekai’d into Great Britain
That would suck hard
“Right.” Yaoyorozu sighs, clearly deciding that it was enough of interacting with Shigaraki “Anyway, I’m yet to find anything describing the political situation of this island, so we’re still mostly in the dark. However I’ve found out already that the beastkin of this land has arrived here from Telya. Which is a small continent in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean that didn’t exist in our world. Long time ago but, to be honest, it seemed to be an all-out invasion, so I guess I can tell why the local elves and beastkin do not like each other very much.”
After seeing Elder Anaya just a few times I can already tell that if this is the sort of people that invaded this island, I’m ready to risk a thesis that the invasion was, errr…
An absolute fuckcluster of madness?
Vulgar, but more or less summarizes what I have in my head, yes.
“Can’t say anything about it thus far.” Yaoyorozu shrugs. “But it seems that today northern Vestiria is held by the beastkin while the rest is primarily elven. Or, to be exact, primarily White Elven. Humans are the dominant species of Karadia, but they’re mostly living on the continent. Though if the words of the elder about the ‘Grand Empire’ are anything to go by, Vestiria as a whole is a part of the human empire. A part or perhaps more like a vassal or client state? I’m yet to get into politics, and in fact I’ve barely started reading this book. It’s very… lengthy. Although well written.”
I see.
Anything else you can add?
“This map is of incredible quality.” Yaoyorozu comments. “This is something that you could find in a geographic atlas in our world, at least considering how its projection resembles modern maps that were made with the help of satellite imagining.” She then shrugs. “I think that’s all thus far. And yes, I’m planning to update everyone else about those discoveries today.”

Vestiria is the group of isles that are to the northwest of Spain and west of Britain.
