My Hero Academia: Heavenly Restriction

Wow. Just... wow. 

I stared at the powerstone counter, blinking a few times to make sure my sleep-deprived eyes weren't playing tricks on me. But no – there it was in glowing digits: 3,500 powerstones.

"We actually did it," I whispered, then bounced up from my writing desk, sending my collection of hero merchandise figurines rattling. "We actually beat last week's goal!"

Gives everyone a standing ovation

You beautiful readers, you absolute madlads – you've gone and surprised me again. Here I was, thinking the 3,000 mark was ambitious, and you just... crushed it. Like Izuku crushing villains' hopes and dreams at the USJ.

Flops back into my chair, spinning around once

But before we dive into whatever chaos my caffeine-addled brain cooks up next, I think this calls for a special announcement. We're approaching the end of the USJ arc, and you know what that means – it's time for a Beyond Plus Ultra episode!

Pulls out a glitter-covered notebook labeled 'Reader Questions'

That's right, my lovely power-stoners! (Is that a thing? Can I make that a thing?) We're going to have a special Q&A session. Want to know what Izuku thinks about his growing relationship with Camie? Curious about what Camie's planning for their next date? Maybe you're wondering how Aizawa manages to keep his hair so magnificently disheveled? 

Adjusts glasses dramatically

Now's your chance! Leave your questions here, and in our Beyond Plus Ultra episode, we'll get them answered. You can ask anyone – Izuku, Camie, me, or any other character you're curious about. Though fair warning: some of them might be more... cooperative than others. (Looking at you, Bakugo.)

Glances at the growing pile of plot notes

Just... maybe don't ask about what's coming next. My lawyer advises against revealing future trauma- I mean, plot developments. 

Nervous laughter

But seriously, you all continue to amaze me. These powerstones, your theories, your support – it means everything. You make all those late-night writing sessions worth it. 

So here's to you, my amazing readers! Keep those powerstones and questions coming, and let's make this Beyond Plus Ultra episode something truly special!

Raises a mug of coffee that's definitely my fifth... or eighth... of the day

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go sort through these plot notes and pretend I'm not emotionally attached to these characters. (Spoiler alert: I totally am.)

By the way, the bonus chapter will be uploaded soon!
