Before the exercise ended, Bakugo woke up in the nurse’s office. His head still hurts a bit. Whoever hit him is going to pay, but first, he needs to take stock of his location.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiXnuIRyx4
To his right was a snoring Kirishima. He was a bit banged up, but he seemed fine. But to his left was…Deku.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ2VmEH3BZ
He looks fine, but for whatever reason, he’s still unconscious. But for once, he’s not his focus. It was his girlfriend who was staring daggers at him.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMKZGauAGp
Now it was clear who knocked him out.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHst7OkmFB9
Bakugo: “You!”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvk8o8lrl7
Kiri: “Me.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTkyfgoSl6
Before Bakugo could start something, the door opened to reveal Recovery Girl.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IYWWSDwkA
Recovery Girl: “No! No fighting in my office, do you two understand?!”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5ch0v4KC0
Bakugo: “Tch.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH8jA1xZ83
Kiri: “Fine.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeP8eSQMl9
Recovery Girl: “Good grief. Instead of being ready to fight, you should be counting your blessings. You could’ve been in a far worse state.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOoZSp7an7
Bakugo: “Ha, Deku was the one in danger. I won our fight!”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqUpg6Sqcs
Kiri: “No, you didn’t.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uR5OCFp9Q
Bakugo: “What the fuck did you say, ghost girl!?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlheJECXIIx
Kiri: “That you’re a sore loser, bomb boy.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3JuH3BEEW
Bakugo: “Why you-”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s9vwpie9l
Recovery Girl: “She’s right, you know. You might have died if not for Midoriya.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oo3vohasO
Bakugo: “What the hell are you talking about!? I won our fight! I was barely damaged!”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YLhDMKmKT
Recovery Girl: “That’s because he shielded you during the clash.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89INYz98UO
His eyes became pinpricks as she said that. It…couldn’t be.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg4LPMwJTR
Bakugo: ‘He… what?’
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbifxcQRG1A
Recovery Girl: “I was also watching the battles, and a few seconds before the explosion, a green shield enveloped you.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSCKoz0aK0
Bakugo: “No… why would he-”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rMJVkJOEg
Kiri: “You don’t deserve his kindness. You’re no better than a villain, lower than scum. You’re the one who deserves to di-”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt8JMkMon5
Recovery Girl: “Let’s not be so hasty to wish death on another, Tae. He’s still just a kid.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcAAlyYFE4
Kiri: “…No excuses.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnEd1vZjeF
The fact Recovery Girl is speaking to Kiri as if she’s an adult didn’t register. Instead, it was the cold hard facts of the battle.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZBr8rBwMi
Bakugo: ‘If that’s true, then… I didn’t win. Not even close.’
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM61sYDVww
Bakugo: ‘Despite going all out, I-I… lost to… Deku!?’
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ46Y7owqu
The young boy began to hyperventilate. The world didn’t make sense anymore. Even when he’s a pebble, even when Bakugo beats on him, Deku refuses to give up or leave him be.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa7iO9uZ27
Yet again, Deku shows concern for him when he doesn’t need it.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeDMwiOtwp
Or deserve it.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoDOnAzhSh
He can’t accept that stray thought, not yet. Instead, one cornerstone is crumbling.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUa5l9zll8
Bakugo: ‘He’s… not a pebble anymore.’
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT5RWdIImP
This fact is undeniable. Deku is no longer a mere pebble but a peer, a proper obstacle in his path.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uC69FF36y
But with a quirk like his, with his rate of growth, won’t their positions reverse?
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Z3BIuG2A
The idea of being a pebble to the one he once disregarded and, at one time, cared for as a weak but loyal friend, it was too much.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboLBszx6Zm
If not for Recovery Girl’s words, he would have shattered.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH019j9a7CC
Recovery Girl: “It would seem the exercise has concluded with the villain's victory, and everyone is returning to class. You are free to join them for the review.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhzj9mGCHn
Bakugo escaped his self-destructive spiral, but he had little strength to do much else. He got up, walked out, headed to the classroom and sat at his desk.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaN0AcYyrT
In silence.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2VEr9WJig
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ5hYKCOEu
Phoenix: “Here you are, again.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS49PFSp7H
Izuku was floating in a void filled with stars and again looked up at those enormous green orbs.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrI4ZdQssn
Izuku: “Haha, I guess Kacchan’s attack was stronger than I thought.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ortivyDBw
Phoenix: “You weren’t damaged that badly.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ShRAnLMJ3
Izuku: “Then… why am I here? Is there something wrong?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQo0wuBXIp
Phoenix: “Not at the moment. Just a small concern.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ669SgnTiNY
Izuku: “What?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9fnczbYMw
Phoenix: “Why did you defend that child?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEvLWUhRp6
Izuku: “Because… despite everything, I still don’t want to severely hurt Kacchan. I was… unsure if I could fully control Psi Explosion.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk2yJCr7HS
Phoenix: “So it’s okay for him to severely harm you?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76deeoXOee
Izuku: “…”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8MwwJPfCS
Phoenix: “For what is coming, you’ll need to know which bridges to cross and which to burn. You must avoid baggage. The enemy will use it against you.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfVAegBSyv
Izuku: “Kacchan is not baggage! Besides, what enemy are you talking about? Is it some villain?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4CKVSTiCA
Phoenix: “In a way. I foresee villains of this world will play a major role in what is come. But the future is ever shifting. You must be ready. Continue to grow strong; I’m counting on you.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN4SQrhdT6
Izuku: “R-Right.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpUTyfFmdU
Like before, the space begins to shake and collapse.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxMyGaDeva
It’s time to wake up.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfIqaf4lDb
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDqlDDKl1s
It took all she had to stop herself. It would be so easy to pop his head open like a-
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHteDNPUlum
No! That’s not heroic!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3saiDPj3h
But he hurt onii-chan! MY ONII-CHAN!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwuabcxKlL
Kiri placed a hand on her forehead; it ached with some foreign emotion. But as she looked down at her beloved, it eased. As long as she was with him, and he accepted her, she would be happy.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0ZAcLEJEx
Nothing else mattered.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3vVJ3ngkX
She stroked his hair and smiled. She loved him. She really did.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMUKWO1a5S
Then that strange feeling emerged in her chest again, stronger and more positive this time. It was warm and pleasant. Her eyes wandered to his lips, and an urge to touch them with her own slipped into her mind.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWpG30hrt4
She didn’t know why or what this meant. But she wanted to do it. So she slowly leaned down and closed her eyes.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRpIgBgpbM
Izuku: “Mmmm.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NAmPoJoJ4
For whatever reason, Kiri quickly backed away when she heard him waking up.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWkFNdu1mq
Kiri: “I-Izuku?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC6Zp9bqeG
Izuku: “Kiri, where am I? And… why are you blushing?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckGM9UWLiq
Kiri: “Blushing?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwls5SI9H7x
Izuku: “Your face is red.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n0zwvW3BQ
Kiri: “I-I don’t know.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYrBLSnEpk
Recovery Girl: “You’re finally awake; good. Everyone is waiting for you in the classroom.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuivXoFESfC
The two looked at Recovery Girl, who was sitting on a chair nearby. Whether she saw what Kiri was going to do, is unknown.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqVmhafx9r
Izuku: “So the exercise is over? Who won?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoJGxXpfNn
Recovery Girl: “Villains.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22mBgueNtg
Izuku: “O-Oh.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknF2KKTk1F
Kiri could already feel him blaming himself. She grabbed his hand.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQirfDAlqP9
Kiri: “It’s not your fault.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLhR3dIjsa
Izuku: “But if I tried harder and beat Kacchan… ”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXx0Txd2Ne
Kiri: “Doesn’t… mean you should blame yourself. You did the best you could. Exercise… a team effort. Shouldn’t… carry all the burden.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKiXRcoHeo
Izuku smiles at her, a sight that deepens the red in her cheeks.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbQYOlIgAA
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WHksh85kB
She feels his thumb rub the top of her hand. She returns the smile and suppresses the urge to touch his lips again.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjOqeWn4sr
Recovery Girl: “Aw, you two are adorable.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lpiDgGuRz
Kiri: “Nh.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa5CrlWcrX
Izuku doesn’t even try to argue this time. He’ll clear it up soon, but right now he should get back to class.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVZL6gKWGW
Izuku: “So we’re free to go?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp99WGTE09Y
Recovery Girl: “Yep, your flames did most of the work. It’s actually strange that you didn’t wake up sooner.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRufov4fzu
Izuku: “Haha, y-yeah, strange. Let’s go, Kiri.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23yLx4dMt2
Kiri: “Nh.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AgkH4tlP6
The two left the office and began the short walk back to class. All the while, Kiri held onto Izuku’s hand. But, she wanted more. So she leaned her head on his shoulder, nuzzling it.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbB8LoAu6w
Izuku: “You’re being very… affectionate.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQrUVaf73Z
Kiri: “Nh. I… like it. Do… you?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdkYDYC10C
Izuku: “I… don’t mind it. But I don’t want the misunderstanding to continue.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWDeh6uFkC
Kiri: “…Would it…be so bad?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4OiFllqym
Izuku: “Kiri, we talked about this.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jRvbltqmx
Kiri: “…I know. But… at home?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYTCWEAH4r
Izuku sighed but accepted her proposal. There’s nothing wrong with simple affectionate gestures between siblings. What’s the worst that can happen?
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqNbiHowzF
Izuku: “That’s fine.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf8DiqA7dc
Kiri: “… Okay.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzqzXdMzmp
She can accept that, for now. So she removes her hand and head from her beloved onii-chan. The warmth was gone but only for a while. The school day was almost over after all.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4jdVw32gE
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyrqo73zSy
After remembering to change back into their school uniforms, the duo opened the door to the classroom. Everyone was sitting down except for Aizawa, who seemed ready to leave.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtfEyxhlRl
Aizawa: “Finally here, sit down.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ODMW3Iq2c
Izuku could tell some people wanted to talk to him. Either about the epic fight or just because they were worried. But Aizawa’s presence shut that stuff down; he wanted to get this done and go to sleep.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WuxU2plrV
Aizawa: “I saw the footage and took the liberty of looking at all of your evaluations. You can look at them at your own time, but there are some things to discuss.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BNocTbRb5
Aizawa: “First, who do you all did the best in this exercise?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJhCKkNBzk
“Yaoyorozu!”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA33q5jfXu
Momo: “Achoo!”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL54Ki3VGt
The answer was immediate. So much so, that the now-sick Momo couldn’t register it right away.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZPe7pDORz
Momo: “W-Wait, me?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgALHGN2NFR
Jiro: “Yeah, you did great.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iIYNRNu9C
Ida: “A true hero we all can learn from!”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGecFAwuSsu
Mina: “You were so cool, Yaomomo.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELs2mLaM2v
Momo: “But I… lost. How could I have the highest marks? I think Todoroki deserves it more.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Dcjfs7z9
Aizawa: “Yes, but you demonstrated the traits every hero should have. Prioritizing the safety of the citizens and a strong will. Even when the odds were against you, you fought on anyway.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg9nQL0FDc
Momo: “I… don’t know what to say.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxiaJxKS3O
Izuku: “He’s right; you even came up with the plan. It didn’t work because I… messed up.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEgKeZVpR5
Sero & Uraraka: “We did too.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUiCraxajV
Izuku: “But the plan was solid. You were the most heroic person in the field. Don’t doubt that.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSJ6vQfIQ7
Momo: “T-Thank you, Midoriya. I appreciate it.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIqSuBVeYh
He gives him a sweet smile that nearly makes the poor boy blush. But the moment was interrupted by Aizawa.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iMpXCFMyA
Aizawa: “Speaking of mess ups, Midoriya and Bakugo.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTBrYfPA5N
The two stiffened up when their names were called.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JtN0Q5frR
Aizawa: “Everyone, except maybe Tae, who was more interested in training Kirishima,-”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWFRM53v8J
Kirishima: “Thanks by the way.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNFWtKmOtR
Kiri: “Nh.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym7iRTl51u
Aizawa: “-Understood the spirit of exercise. But you two clearly have unresolved issues. We won’t ask you to get along, but it has no place in hero work.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM458Q8I6EQ
Aizawa: “During your overly destructive battle, you almost hurt one of your classmates. If it weren’t for Kaminari, Jiro could have been seriously hurt or even killed. Do you understand?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsyHdBqPrw
The two could only nod; Izuku couldn’t even look in the direction of Jiro. More than anything, he felt shame that he failed to be the hero he swore to be.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8TRHvVTBd
As for Jiro, she felt a bit upset at both of them. But she won’t hold it against Izuku; he seems like a good guy who just made a mistake.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK3Y8SqQWg
Jiro: ‘Don’t know about Bakugo. He was clearly the aggressor in that fight.’
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDh0u0L8dx
Aizawa: “I expect better from both of you. This isn’t a schoolyard fight anymore; this is the real world. Take better care to keep track of your surroundings.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO7tlOEmTJ
They nodded once more.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1PUn8LXmx
Aizawa: “Good, now, I’m tired. Class dismissed.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5OmATBWv9
The class dispersed mostly silently, the somber atmosphere discouraging any jovial antics.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaAhGInmF2
But before leaving, Izuku does what he has to do. He goes to Jiro and bows.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD3DQwYWLC
Izuku: “I’m sorry! There is no excuse; I should have noticed you or kept the collateral damage to a minimum. I’m sorry!”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtcfjTNC4d
Jiro: “Dude, it’s fine. Just be more careful next time, okay?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WYnPKvFxJ
Izuku: “Of course! I won’t let something like that happen again. See you tomorrow, Jiro.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL43KLNLiYb
With that done, Izuku ran back to Kiri, who was waiting for him nearby. Didn’t erase the guilt, only motivated him further to do better. So others won’t be burdened by his existence, never again.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7bTi6kuSo
He didn’t notice Kiri furrowing her brows, feeling her beloved depressing thoughts.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFrQQjbq4s
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lXII5cP2H
Bakugo was walking out of the school lifelessly. But as he sees Deku and Kiri walk ahead of him, ignoring him, it brought it all back.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrKwOn1Ny7
The idea that he doesn’t matter anymore. That he is the pebble instead. He couldn’t stand it!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeom59nwPum
Bakugo: “Deku!”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW81etbUHg
Kiri turned around and glared at Bakugo. It was one filled with so much bloodlust, that even Bakugo had to take a step back. But it faded instantly when Deku gently pushed her aside to face him.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c4jBTUJC9
Izuku: “Kacchan.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF8pvPfviF
They stared each other down for a moment before Bakugo broke down first.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7CR1Q5M4U
Bakugo: “Why?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh00V7T5p8
Izuku: “What?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsEZkpxHpD
Bakugo: “Why did you protect me, damn it!? Do you think I’m weak? Do you think I couldn’t handle your attack?! Do you think so little of me!?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj82KQG8FM
For the first time, Izuku snapped. Good thing everyone else was already gone, because he has words.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ElzmEeUKD
Izuku: “And what if I do?! You’ve looked down on me for years, all because I didn’t have a quirk. Well, guess what? I have one now; I was a late bloomer, and my quirk is powerful! I have every right to think less of you!”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXX38MKVRm
Bakugo was stunned. Deku, scared little Deku, the one who always followed behind him, said something like that.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OYOpQMWFx
Izuku: “But… that’s not who I am. I don’t think you’re less than me, I’m not you. I know you’re not weak; you’re still one of the strongest people I know. But I shielded you because, even now, I don’t want to severely hurt you.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraKIv1R6Hh
Bakugo wants to scoff, to say that Deku couldn’t hurt him that badly. But something is stuck in his throat; that lie couldn’t emerge.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsEIfTVFQK
Izuku: “That’s what has changed, Kacchan, I’m not weak anymore. I’m not a quirkless pebble.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrfFLUXO3b
Bakugo: “You-”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RZg8ewgHN
Izuku: “But that doesn’t mean you’re below me either. We’re both after the same dream, right?! Being the number 1 hero! And next time, I’ll beat you for real to prove I can be number 1!”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMAFW22ki9
Bakugo: “Huh?! You’ll beat me for real?! Today, you did beat me, ass-clown!! But…that doesn’t change anything!”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyZlWbWb2m
Bakugo: “You’re listening?! From here on out, I’ll never lose to you again! I’m gonna be the number 1 hero, not you! I’ll even surpass All Might! Just watch me!”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SHhywEbiQ
Bakugo stormed off, making sure to hide the tears coming out of his eyes.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBv1DoX8ih
Deku looks on and… smiles. For an instant, the Kacchan he admired returned. The symbol of victory and indomitable will.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPuPJkNjyL
He won’t forgive Kacchan for everything he has done to him. But everyone deserves a second chance, right?
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoV0mxaQQg
After all, they are finally on the same level playing field.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAYCcsnVvu
But not everyone feels the same; Kiri watched the scene and felt… disgust.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PSgiAv9PO
How could her beloved onii-chan still care for that lowlife?! Regardless of what he thinks, she will deal with the problem if it acts up again.
