Chapter 8 — Sinister Burden

Class 1-A wonders how Izuku and Tsuyu are, and Ashido and Hagakure decide to reveal how they caught the duo kissing, much to Tokoyami's anger for their violation of Izuku and Tsuyu's privacy. When the two green-haired teens enter, they are separated for interrogation, but Aizawa puts a quick end to this and has Izuku explain how his Quirk works. After this, the teacher tells them they must complete the interrupted Battle Trial exercise - and that they must choose their class president.

An hour later, Momo and Izuku are president and vicepresident, but Tsuyu thinks he should have been president. Izuku reveals he has created an entry on Tsuyu in his journal, and Tsuyu pretty much forces Izuku to let her see it while the two of them go to meet Power Loader to get their suits repaired, which gets quickly interrupted by the manic Hatsume Mei, a first year Support student, who attempts to take the suits for repairs and (after Power Loader takes the ripped suits from her) convinces Izuku to hand her his blueprints for support items.

As they walk to rejoin their classmates, Tsuyu expresses jealousy of Mei's body, only for Izuku to reply that he finds her more attractive. However, the romantic conversation is ruined when a wayward wish of Izuku for coffee leads to the discovery that, due to Izuku's Quirk, he can control Tsuyu at a certain level - and that Tae goes feral if not under Izuku's control. Distraught, Izuku orders Tsuyu not to touch him until she is free to disobey, in spite of her begging not to do it.
