* ''Fanfic/ChangingGears'': Togeike outright tells Izuku she's helping him because being on the same team as him for the Sports Festival Cavalry Battle would improve her chances of transferring to the Hero Course. Izuku's fine with her acting in self-interest since she promised to do the best she can to help their team win.

Writing for Yumiella and her sickly clone at the same time is a chore...


* ''Literature/VillainessLevel99:'' Yumiella Dolkness, the titular level 99, arrives at the Royal Academy of the Kingdom of Valschein. Because of her past life memories of this story from a game she loved to play she knows her character is the hidden super boss destined to be killed at the end of the game, she worked hard from age 5 to 16 to make sure she would survive. This results in her arriving at the academy already level 99, unlike in the original game when this leveling up happens later, and shocking everyone as no one has ever come close to level 99. After three consecutive events demonstrating she isn't lying about her strength[[note]]She casually smacks away one dismissive student in a physical combat class, destroys a magical tool easily that only a court mage should be able to destroy, and when the Prince in her class still thinks she is lying, she gets him to accept responsibility for her next demonstration: a gigantic black hole which could destroy the capital city[[/note]] the King and Queen of Valschein summon her for an audience. After one final test from them, which involves facing the Captain of the Royal Guards but not allowed to attack and demonstrates her level by effortlessly dodging his swing by curtsying, they apologize for the behavior of their son and the staff of the school for disbelieving her. They also have their highest court mage examine her magic and explain to the gathered nobles and soldiers that her rare Dark magic isn't inherently evil and could be used for good just like any other magic could be used for malice. Yumiella recognizes their intention is both an apology and appeasement. As a level 99, she is a OneWomanArmy and they want her to help fight the Demon Lord, but if she doesn't join then not leave the country to another place and become their ally. Yumiella accepts their apology and becomes an ally to them.
