Present Mic: “Welcome back, everyone, to rouuuuund twooooo!!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd77spifFh
The two boys stare each other down, knowing full well how much is riding on this match. No words were needed to convey that fact.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco02bBFwiA
Present Mic: “And we’re starting out with an exciting one! Both competitors are among the top of their class!! And the world ain’t big enough for the both of them!! Midoriya vs Todoroki!!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O7aOntJz7
Cold air whipped around while Izuku’s eyes flashed green.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtFlwQATH1
Present Mic: “Start!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASeDkKoERZ
Ice exploded out in two directions, one forward and one back. Good thinking, because Todoroki felt his body being flung back, but his ice barrier prevented a ring out.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO6xo1hF8c
As for Izuku, he didn’t break the ice but instead stopped it in its tracks. Didn’t stop the cold from seeping into his bones, though.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ297V9M1R9t
The boy’s mind goes through his win conditions. He knows there are many ways to win this match. Using the ice against Todoroki. Powering through or just locking his body when he gets him in his sight.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva53SYpGOY
Heck, he could even take a page out of Nogami’s book and teleport him out.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHeBfKUghJ
Izuku: ‘But that won’t solve anything.’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMe39OBh06
So instead, Izuku decided to play the long defensive game. When another wave of ice came, he instead crushed it along with the remaining ice on the stage.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VLvufBtlB
This back-and-forth continued for a while. Neither boy seemed too interested in closing the distance. Something that was increasingly getting on Todoroki’s nerves.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELQhhfIg3Q
Todoroki: “Why are you on the defensive? What are you doing?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC5Jxle9sa
Changing his strategy a bit, he sends out a low field of ice before expanding it out into several spikes. Finally, this causes Izuku to go on the offensive.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q8rowfm5u
Dodging the ice spikes, Izuku goes into the sky and spots Todoroki. The next moment, he sped towards him. Seeing this, Todoroki dodges out of the way. When Izuku landed, he shattered the ice shield.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeCcOM1tkf
Thinking fast, Todoroki created another while sending a large wave of ice towards Izuku. Large enough to hopefully freeze him.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu69sqFEav
But it was hopeless. This time, he simply teleported to the side, avoiding the attack altogether. With this new angle, Izuku’s suspicions were confirmed.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlEZhclWAR
Izuku: “I can ask you the same thing. You’re shivering, Todoroki.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6yd377Pgm
Todoroki: “Tch.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7JbdixcNX
Izuku: “Quirks are just another one of our physical functions, so there’s a limit to how much of your own generated cold you can take, isn’t there?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bru1YqFtt
Todoroki said nothing; he could only narrow his eyes as he felt the frostbite setting in.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTU1V0Hdn9
Izuku: “Everyone is giving everything they’ve got! They’re doing it so they can get that much closer to victory! Do you really think you can beat them, me, using only half of your power!?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6pGGATovA
Todoroki: “Midoriya… ”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisg88vZKk8
Izuku: “Stop holding back, fight me!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2DLh7TFXp
Todoroki: “… What do you think you’re doing? Did my old man pay you off? Now you’re making me mad!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9nf2KEPjs
Todoroki sends another wave of ice, one that’s much weaker than his usual.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtfi0dPd9l
Izuku: “Todoroki, I’ll show you that you can’t win or be a hero like this!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WI0noEOWx
The ice wave rushed towards the boy, but he did nothing but close his eyes and raise his hand. As soon as the ice touched his hand, Izuku used his newest ability. Debuting it for the whole world to see.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K99JWbK7n
Instantly, all the ice turned into water.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEK5p1m5NX
Todoroki: “Wha-”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpACW4tNyf
Present Mic: “What’s this, folks!? Izuku somehow turned all of Todoroki’s ice to water!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb5ilZHtEs
In the stands, class 1-A is also in shock and confusion over this development.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB5MWB5B05
Mina: “What the? He can do that? How?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr4GfkNFAK
To explain, Momo decided to speak up.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCv64fImPK
Momo: “It’s a new ability he learned recently. It’s actually like mine; if he knows the atomic structure of something, he can change it to something else with a touch. Even destroy or strengthen the atomic bonds if he wants.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hsCM2zQ62
Uraraka: “Wow, Midoriya’s quirk is-”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6NGAl18UL
Denki: “Unfair, I agree.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNRpSIFWF6
Uraraka: “I was going to say interesting. Does anyone else just get new abilities like that?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGWXsd5bOq
Jiro: “I don’t think so. I know some quirks can give you multiple similar abilities or evolve, but this is crazy.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qXx89RZKq
Kirishima: “So, he can: fly, teleport, move things with his mind, make shields, read minds, and now change things into other things?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm5J4MVCwe
He says while counting off his fingers.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH4VUpUm3E
Momo: “I think he can also power himself and inanimate objects up. I remember he improved the power of a cannon I made.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXJHBSIPpO
Tokoyami: “The Psi-sword as well.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi5RkjMhu8
Denki: “Ridiculous!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gZd1Z4gg2
Mina: “I’m so jealous! I wish my quirk could do different things. Like, what if I could make acid animals or something?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNqY4ZPbsH
Momo can’t help but feel a bit of the same. But she now knows the mental downsides and control problems his quirk brings. However, with that memory came the memory of the kiss.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLi0qGqCjw
Momo: ‘Stupid! Why did I do that?’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUgttwhfm9
As for Bakugo, he scowls as his rival continues to outpace him. He looks at his hand and wonders if there is more to his quirk as well. Something to think about.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0KnVw5K7a
Kirishima: “I wonder if he’s hiding anything else. Hey, Tae, is Midoriya-”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmI83Lab9L
It was this moment, that Kirishima and the rest of the class noticed that Kiri was gone.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTslQ4DeGNM
Ida: “Mmmm, I don’t see her either.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKAPXpCgLh
Uraraka: “She wouldn’t miss Midoriya’s match.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHxwWcaVbj
While they worry about Kiri’s location, the match below continues.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkr9OgnuiG
Izuku: “The power of your ice is weakening! If you were at your best, I may not have been able to transmute all of it.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMK2VFtB1x
Todoroki is at a loss. Any ice he creates now will just be turned into water. Is there no hope?
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFUPtwiagr
Todoroki: “Why are you… doing this?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP6EWzAVM5
Izuku: “Because that’s what a hero does; they help people.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC23hzuFnX
Todoroki: “I don’t need-”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8POxyFhjD
Izuku: “Yes, you do! Todoroki, I can’t even begin to understand your circumstances or your resolution, but I know two things. You will never be able to become a hero if you don’t use your full strength! And weakening yourself just to disavow your father is foolish!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPvcq4pvow
Todoroki: “Shut up… ”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkig4cd489o
The cold air starts to bite even harder, but Izuku didn’t stop.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23rOMP5Myq
Izuku: “Make me!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JyZSkI5oW
Izuku teleported in front of Todoroki and delivered a devastating gut punch that nearly rang the boy out.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRiTL0toMA
Todoroki coughed before forcing himself back up. He can’t lose like this. Not to him.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEV7IWFr4M
Todoroki: “My father… ”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQJDCd7lkn
Izuku: “It’s yours! It’s your power!! Use it!!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvGlobU9ih
His eyes widen as memories of those warm times with his mother flood his mind.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxmZOnaDK9
“It’s okay, Shouto, you… you aren’t a slave to your blood. You can become the man you want to be.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Y2rTmlIl
Assured by his past, Shouto ignites!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwZFFaEzmf
Present Mic: “What’s this… ?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rnCFOXRRh
Ida: “He used it… !
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzl12Fp6G4
Uraraka: “Hot, hot!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcJFeAM6is
All Might, hidden within the crowd, smiles as he now understands why Izuku held back so heavily.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrVOGV92Xu
All Might: ‘So you wanted to save that young Todoroki? Truly, you’ll make a great hero, Midoriya.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqxDTHPy8U
Todoroki: “…Fine. If you wanted me at my best, you got it. I will be a hero, Midoriya!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqetQ15uo3
Izuku smiles, a mix of happiness and… excitement.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGyzwYMkus
Izuku: “That’s what I want to hear.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoDujj3WZw
The two were in their own world; they didn’t hear or care about Endeavor’s distant ramblings. They were focused on this last clash.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb3GA5EKuQ
Todoroki charged up both his ice and fire, preparing his ultimate move.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaam1MSceCJ
While Izuku floated up and quickly charged a Psi Explosion between his hands.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyJPPQDNa4
Fully ready, Todoroki unleashed a massive wave of ice towards Izuku. The esper easily floated over the ice field and headed towards the flaming Todoroki with his ultimate move still primed.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwmIN7PzaK
Fearing an explosion of epic proportions, Cementos quickly created a barrier around the stage.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN6k8etJfN
Todoroki: “Midoriya… ”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBPbxvBips
Closing in, Todoroki lifted his hand while Izuku did a backward flip before unleashing his attack.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjyKd5qERG
Todoroki: “Thank you.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmopdN6qoY
BOOOOM!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvqT5R2Re2
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD49Al2JQ2C
“I’m sorry! I’m sor-”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbUaXBtJBe
Kiri crushed the skull of the strange talking crab quirk beast. She ignored the shell shocked bystanders.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAOLD2GQwQ
Kiri: ‘I feel… a bit better.’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkheW1nzSXQ
It’s not like she can’t get her onii-chan back. She is still the closest person to him, and she’s sure she’s the only person Izu can go all out for. The only person that can handle all of him, help him through his struggles.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y50A7HVMd
Kiri: ‘Udders can’t do that. Too weak.’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PnE3fkfuQ
After thinking that, she hears a large explosion in the distance. One in the direction of the stadium.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbmss1v0lS
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAM33gMsNc
She knows he won. He wouldn’t lose against Icicle.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuw6VxtBQ0
Kiri: ‘I’m up next.’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC6bID80jr
Knowing that, she quickly left the bloody scene. The screen zooms out to show several more quirk beast corpses lying across the street.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl083Ao6xp
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85oaxLRKmF
Cementos: “Sure, they’re powerful… but that’s just ridiculous.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2A9GEuS4O
Present Mic: “What the heck! What is up with Aizawa’s class!?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqUgJCfHP5
Hot air and smoke filled the arena, preventing anyone from seeing the result. That was until the smoke was condensed into a ball by Tatsumaki, along with the rubble.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAjhyVJAkn
The result, though, was not too surprising.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52LS8r9MlQ
Todoroki was still standing, if only barely. His shirt was torn, and he was out of breath. He looked up at Izuku, who was in a similar state.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUopO1mOy5
The esper was floating over the destroyed stage with a satisfied smile.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ro5SlB7Ko
Then Todoroki looked at where he was, on the grass.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuODBhgEhx
Midnight: “Ring out! Izuku advances to Round three!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl5uWQBitK
The crowd explodes with excitement. Tatsumaki grins at her brother’s excellent performance while Fubuki is still in awe of the destruction.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApnMRIdOgS
First Kiri, now Izuku…
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyPj10rugg
She shakes her head of any self-doubt; it won’t help her. Heck, maybe she could learn how Izuku melted the water while she helps him with his mental abilities.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiFy4B3AXp
Fubuki: ‘I… can still grow.’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9faSZOZVRI
Todoroki breathes a sigh, accepting his defeat. Because in the end, it didn’t matter. He got something far more precious out of this. He walked away while Izuku teleported back to his class.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZbyHEFiwy
Present Mic: “Stay tuned, folks! Don’t go anywhere, unless you want to miss another explosive fight like this! Right now, though, we have to fix the stage… again.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM0bJY0vXq
While in the halls, Todoroki runs into his father.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEHjmd4NJb
Endeavor: “What? Not going to tell me I’m in the way?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc7VHcCHHk
Todoroki only stared at the man. No, he looked past him. Like he wasn’t even there.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgHSScIusm
Endeavor: “Although you lost, at least you finally stopped throwing that childish tantrum. Now, you may finally grow into my perfect masterpiece and crush that Midoriya boy the next time you face him!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ5QJEo2t2
Todoroki: “… I haven’t rescinded my disavowal of you.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BzQKxGsyZ
Endeavor: “… What?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfgRfmPbcv
Todoroki: “See, I’m not exactly easy to win over. In that battle, in that instant, I completely forgot about you. I don’t know if it’s good, bad, or if it’s even the right thing to do. I’ll think about it a little.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqyIsjqS6J
And with that, he moves past his father and takes the reins of his life again.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyb7nFDJMa
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TEv0DhruK
Izuku: “Kiri is gone?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmcutTFvNb
Kirishima: “Yeah, man, we haven’t seen her!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcE1bivvVL
Izuku: “Hmmm.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrYe1hlEDv
Izuku: “Tatsu, is Kiri there with you?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCQYZMVTnj
Tatsumaki: “No, why? Also, mom and Fubu says you did great.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt0bQoSuvn
Izuku: “Tell them I said thanks. As for Kiri, she’s not here.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqFCFwgTx3
After a moment, Tatsumaki gives him an answer.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZYq9MAUMp
Tatsumaki: “I sense her; she’s coming back. Apparently, she went outside.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW8GFUmgP2
Izuku: ‘Outside? Why?’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllIhk4Ug6N
Before the two could discuss further, the next match was about to start. The stage was fixed, and the rubble was cleared. It was time.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD6CDNMr25
Present Mic: “Welcome back!! Here comes the second match of round two! Shiozaki vs Tae! Will this match be just as exciting as the previous one!?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVYkt21NAD
Shiozaki was already in the ring, but there was still no sign of Kiri.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn3j2Fqsxm
Kirishima: “Where is she?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAVYdSSEB9
Izuku: “Tatsu said she was outside for some reason. She’s coming back, though.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxqrynPqyv
Uraraka: “I hope she makes it.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8GaGW4yu4
Denki: “What a way to go, being late.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgYirPhd2C
Thankfully, Kiri dashed out of the corridor after a few seconds.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPeea0KGhx
Present Mic: “And the latecomer has finally arrived!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjV8Q7E8Kd
Kiri looks up at Izuku and immediately stiffens when she sees Momo sitting next to him.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl0TypqyjV
Kirishima: “Yeah, go Tae!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXnPsG6L3y
Everyone else didn’t notice the change of expression, but Izuku did.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTB3ErnxIr
Izuku: “What’s wrong?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhqDdefndO
Kiri: “… Nothing.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZzIMtmhLk
That was a lie, but he could investigate it later. He shouldn’t distract her.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbGwoo5ff9
Present Mic: “Now that everyone is present, let’s get started!! Ready!? START!!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwiyzQ7iSQ
Instantly, Kiri was cocooned in a vine prison.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3NaDmBf9j
Kirishima: “Wha-”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDtgFR3Cok
Denki: “That’s what happened to me!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ39GvpNbal
Izuku: “Kiri?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJQ3tjIdDu
Present Mic: “Oh, what’s this!? Is Kiri Tae defeated already!?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00VWx8rg6Y
Tatsumaki narrows her eyes while Fubuki’s widen.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ5TuDssZ0
There’s no way she was defeated that easily. It was impossible.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsjkL5spER
Indeed it was.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNiqnQdNcs
Suddenly, the vines around Kiri fall to the ground.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOhefuTmtW
Ibara: “What!?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8DKsJAOCQ
Kiri falls to the ground unharmed and holding one of the vines. No matter what Ibara does, she can’t command her hair to move. It was like something was forcing them to become still.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yg0rUqur9
With a bored expression, Kiri starts to pull all the hair to her.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnzXEa6BQQ
Ibara tried to pull back, but it was no use. After a few moments of pulling in all of her hair, Kiri held the girl by the scalp and dragged her across the stage like a disobedient child.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hyonpCd7y
Present Mic: “Yikes, I would hate for that to happen to me!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Ns9fBYrv
When at the edge of the stage, Kiri simply threw her off, vines and all.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzC4Z1Whrq
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the next round!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpJC5wGdwo
Present Mic: “And there you have it, folks! A short, sweet, but a bit embarrassing match!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNOlBfHMUy
Done, Kiri goes to reclaim her place beside Izu. That was until Ibara opened her mouth.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHQmXqKJQa
Ibara: “You’re the same as Midoriya, aren’t you?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL91nUYQyp
Kiri looks back at the woman before she continues.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCHt1cXPQO
Ibara: “I feel the same thing I felt from him in the first match. Your actions now prove it. Where he’s malevolent, you’re cold. But in the end, you’re both… monsters.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhXgwzzXFe
The ground beneath Kiri’s feet cracks as her stare becomes nearly feral.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxAoTn1sn2
Kiri: “You. Know. Nothing.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMRTLsjYcb
Izuku: “Kiri?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa25nmCBtvz
Before Kiri could do something rash, she heard her brother’s voice. Calming down, she fled the scene.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdb0dhg69J
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew4x0GUBOv
Izuku: “Kiri, is something wrong?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4xTGK7z7G
Kiri: “No.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYDJByC2L9
He’s asked this question multiple times, and the answer was always the same. Kiri just sat next to him in a tense silence that he had never experienced with her before. Awkward was one thing; tense was way worse.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5sAO8me4r
It distracted him so much that he didn’t pay that much attention to the next match. It didn’t last long anyway.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE913PByPg
Jiro tried her best, but Ida was much faster than Mina and could close the distance better. When he did, he easily grabbed Jiro’s shirt and quickly dragged her over the ring like Kiri did to Ibara.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsu8VuIIaa
Jiro: “Aw, man! If I only used the sonic blaster quicker, as soon as Ida got close.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtNxrAtK6A
Ida: “You did very well to keep me at bay, Jiro. A very respectable effort!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBpjOjK3Pe
Jiro: “Still lost.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjr2pme7Kl
Momo: “Winning isn’t everything. Besides, you’re going to get even better from now on. One day, I’m sure you can beat Ida.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsuOLW3o30
Jiro: “Really? Thanks, Momo. I’m glad you’re not letting your loss get you down either.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPzsd4vADo
Momo: “Well, I had some help.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeGQS6PMX0
Jiro: “I bet.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmrx5MrUdL
Momo smiled at Izuku, who returned it after hearing the conversation nearby.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnigMthDCi
Izuku: ‘She really took our conversation to heart.’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBqfo8MwdT
And here comes the memory of the kiss. The two of them turn away, trying to hide their blush.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjjWCFHGBr
Ida: “Is something wrong, Yaoyorozu?! Are you sick!?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5CdILUmtI
Momo: “N-No.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnEs2MCrMP
Jiro: “Relax, Ida, she’s fine. More than fine, I think.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFbhA1Ljdt
Momo: “K-Kyoka?!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVPIo3suXd
Izuku tried to ignore the conversation and turn his attention to the next match. As for Kiri, she was stone still, trying to put all of her attention on Rocky’s match.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqawpDswAD
Better that than hearing that conversation.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrZjjDIEI2
As for the match, it ended as many expected. Kirishima was a much better fighter now, but he was still not on Bakugo’s level.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaltJ6YhXTN
He still managed to get a few solid hits in, but Bakugo’s explosions were devastating and couldn’t be blocked. Bakugo was training as well, and his explosions benefited the most.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYe5ibO3Pa
So in the end, Kirishima was overwhelmed by a barrage of mini-bombs.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMN3ZOOSrR
