Author's Notes: Chapter edited and corrected by Scott Fellman.
I was scrolling through the message I'd just received. It was a long message with a lot of fairly generic verbiage from the UA administration. I really have no idea who wrote all this. It definitely wasn't Nezu or Aizawa, unless they copied and pasted all the generic text from previous years.
Which, now that I thought about it… if that was something Aizawa would do. I snorted lightly and strengthened my legs, ignoring everything else. In my hands was a congratulatory message, rather belated, I might say, for winning the UA Sports Festival.
But the most important thing was the tickets to I-island, which came with the congratulations. The dates were for the last week of July, and as per the canon, I could bring a companion. Unfortunately, only one companion.
"For the last time, Ruby, you cannot create turrets and firearms for my bugs." Taylor growled as she opened the door. "Izumi, tell Ruby that it's a horrible idea to create firearms for giant bugs." Taylor said, entering the room before looking at me and coming to a halt.
"Izumi! Tell Tay it's an excellent idea! Just imagine it, mobile turrets! Hundreds of insects with turrets on top firing fire at will! Taylor already has excellent hand-to-hand combat, this could help her with her ranged combat-" Ruby's words died as she looked at me in disbelief. "I'm next!" Ruby exclaimed immediately as she raised her hand. That seemed to wake Taylor up.
"What?! No! I got here first!" Taylor immediately exclaimed defensively.
"If you're going to put weapons on a giant insect, I want to add the idea of putting flamethrowers on some of them," Azula said as she walked casually in. She looked at me, blinking for a few seconds at my lower body. "So... is it first come, first served, or whoever gets their turn first? Because I want one," Azula said casually without looking away.
"I asked for it first!" Ruby thundered.
"I got here first!" Taylor retorted before starting to fight. I snorted in amusement and looked down.
I was half naked, wearing only a pair of very tight boxers that left my entire leg exposed. I'd never really given much thought to my legs, especially my thighs. They were muscular, yes, but my build was considerably thinner than it should be for the strength I could generate.
But my thighs were still muscular and quite hard. And it had never occurred to me that anyone would actually be sexually attracted to them. Which, in retrospect, was stupid.
And Darkness hadn't been the least bit shy about asking me to work with my thighs. I was rewarding her. She'd passed both the written and practical exams. She'd even impressed the teachers now that she could use a sword, and in fact, she'd also started using a shield. So she was actually much more skilled and efficient in combat.
And her request? That I suffocate her with my thighs.
I must say, the request caught me off guard. But I wasn't being hypocritical. If the roles were reversed, I'd do the same. I mean, Darkness's thighs, and the others around my head and neck? Yes, thank you, and more please. So I had no point in criticizing Darkness's tastes, so I had no problem indulging her.
So here we were, I was sitting on the edge of my bed. Darkness was sitting on the floor between my legs. My right leg was pressed against Darkness's head and bent to press against her neck. My left leg was also pressing against Darkness's head, while the crook of my knee held my right leg in place and exerted more force.
I'd been choking Darkness for about 20 minutes in a rather erotic leg lock. By this point, Darkness was nearly passed out, her expression one of euphoria. Her gaze was unfocused, and drool was dripping from her mouth, while her groin formed a small pool of her juices beneath her. Her body trembled occasionally, but she never made an effort to free herself.
I squeezed my legs together tighter, completely cutting off Darkness's air supply. Darkness twitched slightly, a pleased smile spreading across her face as she gritted her teeth. Slowly, Darkness's eyes traveled to her back, the color draining from her face as she fainted from the lack of oxygen. At the same time, her body bucked as she came on the spot.
Luckily, my transparent world could help me monitor all of her internal organs to prevent any problems from oxygen deprivation. So the moment she lost consciousness, I loosened my grip on my legs. Darkness's body unconsciously sucked in air as she fell limply to the ground, still alive and completely healthy, but slightly trembling.
I looked at the girls who were watching, staring at Darkness with undisguised envious expressions. I rolled my eyes as I smiled provocatively in their direction.
"What are you waiting for?" I asked as I spread my legs. All three of them moved instantly. The bugs that always hung around in Taylor's hair popped out and jumped in the direction of the other two, aiming directly for their eyes. That delayed them a few seconds before Taylor kicked Darkness aside and dropped between my legs.
I burst out laughing, but I didn't even hesitate when I grabbed Taylor's head in the same leg lock I'd had Darkness in just seconds before. Taylor shuddered and let out a moan as she instinctively clung to my legs, not even trying to break free.
"It's not fair." Ruby said as she brushed the dead bugs off her palm.
"I'm second," Azula said simply as she sat down on one of the couches.
"What?! No! I was there first!" Ruby said indignantly. I shook my head. This wasn't how I expected to spend my afternoon, but I wouldn't lie if it wasn't a rather curious and fun experience. The girls had grown perfectly accustomed to Darkness's presence and actions, but none of them had been particularly excited to join her.
So being able to choke one of them, even with my thighs, was certainly an attractive novelty. I suppose being choked by thick thighs was attractive in any world. Thick thighs save lives.

"Thank you for the reward, master. I enjoyed it very much. It was like seeing paradise," Darkness said dreamily, smiling lasciviously. She had finally regained consciousness by the time I'd finished with the rest of the girls, none of whom had felt comfortable enough to lose consciousness during the experience.
Although they had certainly enjoyed the experience. I knew them well enough to know that they were all incredibly excited. Especially Ruby. She ended up losing to Azula and finishing last, but she had actually seized the moment and decided to do something unique.
Instead of facing forward, she turned around, her face entirely in my crotch as she was suffocated. Her smug smile once the whole ordeal was over and she looked down on Taylor and Azula was amusing.
"You deserved it. You did an excellent job," I told Darkness honestly. She was kneeling beside my seat, her head resting against my thigh like a pet while I stroked her hair. Darkness had put on her collar, which she'd removed for her erotic asphyxiation. It would be too much of a nuisance during the entire experience, something that bothered Darkness slightly, but which she understood with regret. But now she was glad to have it back around her neck.
And she deserved it. She'd really put in the effort to learn how to wield a sword. She was certainly far from mastery, but she could now land hits, and she struck her targets with more grace.
It was easy enough to keep her focused and engaged; I just had to gently correct her mistakes with gentleness and kind words that made her shudder in disgust, while hitting her body enough to leave small bruises when she moved correctly.
At least with the sword, unfortunately, I really had no experience with a shield, and it wasn't something I could teach her. But we were at UA, and apparently, there were teachers for that. I just had to promise her rewards for every session she attended.
"Still, thank you, master. I loved the whole experience, even the part about waking up thrown to the side, completely discarded without a care in the world, while you were with your fiancés. Completely ignorant like a worthless, broken slave. Hehehe." Darkness giggled lasciviously as her mind went back to the pit of pornography she always lived in. I snorted.
"You're of no use to me, fainting slave. Oh... perhaps you are. Perhaps from now on I'll use your lascivious body while you're unconscious. After all, it's mine to do with as I please, isn't it?" I asked mockingly, tugging lightly at her hair. Darkness shuddered.
"Y-yes master! You may use your slave's body however you please! It's yours to do with, whether I'm awake or not! Just thinking about being used while I'm unconscious-mmmmhh!! Waking up to my body covered in your fluids, imagining all the lewd things you did to my body while I wasn't awake sounds wonderful!"
"Oh, I would wake up completely broken and alone, you wouldn't be around, and it would just be a message on my scroll. In it, I would open a video of you, a video of you abusing my body while I was completely unconscious and unable to resist, and I would start masturbating while playing the video over and over again, and mmhhh!!" Darkness moaned loudly as she started to pant heavily.
Of course, she had a somnophilia fetish. Why wouldn't she? It was easier to figure out what fetish she didn't have.
"Really, your mind never ceases to amaze me," Taylor said dryly, though her cheeks were flushed. The other two were similarly flushed. They might not like to join Darkness in her activities. But they definitely enjoy watching her.
"Thank you, mistress!" Darkness said with a bright smile. Taylor just snorted, but didn't answer. That was what Darkness had decided to call the others during her time with the collar; after all, she was a slave, and the girls were my fiancées. So, yes.
"Right, I have news," I said simply as I pulled out my scroll. I instantly had everyone's attention. "UA just sent me a congratulations for winning the sports festival!" I chirped.
"A little late?" Azula asked dryly. I nodded.
"Yes, but that's not the important thing. The important thing is that she officially invited me to go to I-Island to attend the I-Expo." I said cheerfully. The four of them froze in place. I blinked, and Ruby's face was right in front of me. I hadn't even noticed when she'd moved.
"Are you going to I-island to see the I-expo?! Holy crap!! That's amazing!! Thousands of scientists are showcasing their futuristic technological advancements! It's a dream come true!! I'm so jealous!!" Ruby said as she shook me back and forth.
"Eehh, UA certainly knows how to reward its students." Azula said, impressed.
"I heard Dragon and Armsmistress and other tinkers from the US will also be making presentations!" Taylor said excitedly.
"They also told me I can bring a companion." I added. Ruby gasped loudly.
"Can I go?! Can I go?! Can I go?! Please?!" Ruby immediately begged.
"Wait, why you?" Taylor replied.
"Please! I've wanted to go forever! Ever since I built Crescent Rose, all I could dream of was going to find new parts for her!" Ruby pleaded with a pitying face. I snorted in amusement.
"Before you two start arguing any more, I'm sure the whole class will attend the expo," I said simply.
"Wait, what? Didn't you just say it was a gift?" Azula asked, confused. I hummed as I pulled out my scroll.
"Something like that? More specifically, what they gave me was an invitation to attend the pre-opening of the expo specifically. That is, a day or two before the expo itself. When the expo itself starts and opens to the public, I'm sure UA will send its students." I said confidently.
"Pre-opening, does that exist?" Taylor asked, confused.
"It exists. The event is sponsored by major corporations, which send invitations to renowned professional heroes, hunters, civilians, and other notable individuals. It's early access to dozens of attractions and hundreds of scientific exhibits across the island. It also includes an invitation to a reception party the night before," Darkness said, to my surprise. She was still lazily lying against my leg.
"Uh... that's good to know," Taylor said with a shrug. "Now, how do you know we'll all be invited?" Taylor asked me. I just shrugged.
"Instinct. Besides… this is Nezu we're talking about. I'm sure he's capable of leading the entire school without a problem. And he probably even has some positions for the development department students," I said dryly. Everyone snorted in agreement.
"Well, we'll wait until Aizawa announces the I-Expo trip. If it's true, Ruby can go to the pre-opening. I want to see the island, but just wandering around during the expo will be enough." Taylor said with a shrug.
"I don't care," Azula said simply.
"Yay!! Thanks!!" Ruby said happily. That should be settled.
"By the way, I'm all for adding weapons to insects," I said with a smile. Ruby's eyes sparkled as Taylor moaned loudly.
"Ha! I knew it!" Ruby said happily as she stretched her arms to the sky.
"My bugs are fully capable as they are," Taylor said through gritted teeth, and I shrugged amusedly.
"I mean, yeah, they are. But ants with a machine gun? With a laser beam? I'd even accept you with mechanical claws or pincers. Or even some multi-purpose tools to help out in situations like natural disasters. And since you're controlling them, there's really no real danger." I said simply. That stopped Taylor in her tracks as she thought about it.
Ruby looked at her excitedly, making Taylor sigh in despair.
"Okay, okay, okay, you can design something for them," Taylor finally said.
"Yay!" Ruby said happily.
"Don't forget the flamethrower," Azula added with an amused smile.
"Can there be shields? A group of ants can form a good barricade," Darkness said timidly. Taylor just sighed. "By the way, I was wondering, do you need to eat?" Darkness asked once more.
"Yeah, and they eat monster meat. It's poisonous and harmful to humans, and is mostly useless for making anything of value. So it's practically cheap, useless scrap. Since UA has its own harvesting team for the dungeons, there's a lot of monster meat available that was discarded. Nezu separates some of it for my ants," Taylor said simply. "Besides, they don't need to eat very often."
"Forget that! I need more ideas!" Ruby said as she grabbed a notebook and began furiously sketching out plans. I chuckled.
"See if you can do something with Dust. It would be a nice addition if Taylor could use elemental effects with Dust. The Ants would be able to carry it more easily and would be in a better position to use them." I said simply. Ruby's eyes sparkled, and this time, Taylor's did too. Really, she wouldn't refuse to be able to cast lightning or ice from her ants.
"Will they be able to use it? Doesn't it need an aura to work?" Azula asked curiously.
"Not necessarily! Dust is too volatile and easy to take advantage of its effects mechanically! That's why they can be used as an alternate energy source! Although it's too dangerous and risky, and it's not used very often, but it is possible!" Ruby said happily as she continued to draw inspiredly.
What followed was a rather lengthy brainstorming session about mechanical insects and lethal weapons to equip them with. I had to start vetoing ideas when Ruby started designing mechanical tentacles and the idea of hiring someone to perform surgeries and attach them to the ants' brains.
