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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw3Pqwq5Jd
To his right was a snoring Kirishima. He was a bit banged up, but he seemed fine. But to his left was…Deku.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZw00PW08b
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokUazgc6Xk
Now it was clear who knocked him out.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDOWODKovY
Bakugo: “You!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Aee66Vkkc
Kiri: “Me.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3420nl53j
Before Bakugo could start something, the door opened to reveal Recovery Girl.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu0b52sPBJ
Recovery Girl: “No! No fighting in my office, do you two understand?!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCDqpqJvgX
Bakugo: “Tch.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEQHM03QcN
Kiri: “Fine.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNR8cQuKWN
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGuexA2Hj1
Bakugo: “Ha, Deku was the one in danger. I won our fight!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkUVTiKcWB
Kiri: “No, you didn’t.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ5N5CYk9i
Bakugo: “What the fuck did you say, ghost girl!?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxLQbCPc9v
Kiri: “That you’re a sore loser, bomb boy.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSybm1BGe4
Bakugo: “Why you-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxksmy696q
Recovery Girl: “She’s right, you know. You might have died if not for Midoriya.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3dHgmqoGF
Bakugo: “What the hell are you talking about!? I won our fight! I was barely damaged!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdMASUlCJX
Recovery Girl: “That’s because he shielded you during the clash.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5ugi53Noc
His eyes became pinpricks as she said that. It…couldn’t be.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGCkpTkYdI
Bakugo: ‘He… what?’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbfVdInzNu
Recovery Girl: “I was also watching the battles, and a few seconds before the explosion, a green shield enveloped you.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyQrQohn88
Bakugo: “No… why would he-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQDlsWaRd8
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-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllDEjJPYpL
Recovery Girl: “Let’s not be so hasty to wish death on another, Tae. He’s still just a kid.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUf290srUA
Kiri: “…No excuses.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbF8wxBIC8
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlUxwu8aKs
Bakugo: ‘If that’s true, then… I didn’t win. Not even close.’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKzlr02MXA
Bakugo: ‘Despite going all out, I-I… lost to… Deku!?’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ2hffLRuU
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceHjVCKW9j
Yet again, Deku shows concern for him when he doesn’t need it.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz5LikArBf
Or deserve it.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wWEaCSoNa
He can’t accept that stray thought, not yet. Instead, one cornerstone is crumbling.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCPaJnWrNO
Bakugo: ‘He’s… not a pebble anymore.’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcDl1Sl9wQ
This fact is undeniable. Deku is no longer a mere pebble but a peer, a proper obstacle in his path.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2KcP5NUVn
But with a quirk like his, with his rate of growth, won’t their positions reverse?
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39f2pGW3eN
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0kn1AU1Vh
If not for Recovery Girl’s words, he would have shattered.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAISLVYGZa
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrIMRxi9Dg
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eVZMBiUPo
In silence.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0xEgr9XA8
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnaKEHGalm
Phoenix: “Here you are, again.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTKZ5iVfZc
Izuku was floating in a void filled with stars and again looked up at those enormous green orbs.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfAkLM8hYe
Izuku: “Haha, I guess Kacchan’s attack was stronger than I thought.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NgPJukpba
Phoenix: “You weren’t damaged that badly.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWMPXln4f4
Izuku: “Then… why am I here? Is there something wrong?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa0AUNMMi9
Phoenix: “Not at the moment. Just a small concern.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcbkcsxUju
Izuku: “What?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC01J19SBRL
Phoenix: “Why did you defend that child?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalfDupy6vO
Izuku: “Because… despite everything, I still don’t want to severely hurt Kacchan. I was… unsure if I could fully control Psi Explosion.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMikEoY3cu2
Phoenix: “So it’s okay for him to severely harm you?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2iZuFtvj7
Izuku: “…”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vHKPrHesg
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGzKcdVgPp
Izuku: “Kacchan is not baggage! Besides, what enemy are you talking about? Is it some villain?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwHf1o4l9u
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAozpZU4tb
Izuku: “R-Right.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5DG4YpOpX
Like before, the space begins to shake and collapse.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Wjl1IRMv
It’s time to wake up.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDV5rmvzK7
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcArbAziWr
It took all she had to stop herself. It would be so easy to pop his head open like a-
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6BOJOjkus
No! That’s not heroic!
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD7bSqHdYE
But he hurt onii-chan! MY ONII-CHAN!
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e58TY6XwF
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnITjmOP22p
Nothing else mattered.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTJ8RobtUT
She stroked his hair and smiled. She loved him. She really did.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVGlXbHtSD
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV0F5wiQZV
She didn’t know why or what this meant. But she wanted to do it. So she slowly leaned down and closed her eyes.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2rRbZDpzl
Izuku: “Mmmm.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFBkO2gXUb
For whatever reason, Kiri quickly backed away when she heard him waking up.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vesH3n2g8
Kiri: “I-Izuku?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRZuL2gkIW
Izuku: “Kiri, where am I? And… why are you blushing?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IypZvAILl
Kiri: “Blushing?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pXICa8Hzh
Izuku: “Your face is red.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eHOJwIAOI
Kiri: “I-I don’t know.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUFb2fdz8i
Recovery Girl: “You’re finally awake; good. Everyone is waiting for you in the classroom.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v327NnTXy
The two looked at Recovery Girl, who was sitting on a chair nearby. Whether she saw what Kiri was going to do, is unknown.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl1hLJ4zux
Izuku: “So the exercise is over? Who won?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHqni2Jbs6
Recovery Girl: “Villains.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2TZNCGRRr
Izuku: “O-Oh.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOhGHtfB8K
Kiri could already feel him blaming himself. She grabbed his hand.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ40fwfCEB
Kiri: “It’s not your fault.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq66Y5so9J
Izuku: “But if I tried harder and beat Kacchan… ”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEBwRREfi8
Kiri: “Doesn’t… mean you should blame yourself. You did the best you could. Exercise… a team effort. Shouldn’t… carry all the burden.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5YAlXxpmu
Izuku smiles at her, a sight that deepens the red in her cheeks.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGjRbC4VDm
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFidKaLqvq
She feels his thumb rub the top of her hand. She returns the smile and suppresses the urge to touch his lips again.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCS4giHdkd
Recovery Girl: “Aw, you two are adorable.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjJw1szsLn
Kiri: “Nh.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E9gpKJNUM
Izuku doesn’t even try to argue this time. He’ll clear it up soon, but right now he should get back to class.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpxLYQPDJY
Izuku: “So we’re free to go?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWZUGbDRz2
Recovery Girl: “Yep, your flames did most of the work. It’s actually strange that you didn’t wake up sooner.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8reHmaIza
Izuku: “Haha, y-yeah, strange. Let’s go, Kiri.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TjC4jZH8M
Kiri: “Nh.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9tOvjjJdU
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinBe8PjLdw
Izuku: “You’re being very… affectionate.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnksrJBaNf
Kiri: “Nh. I… like it. Do… you?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEYZI2ABlm
Izuku: “I… don’t mind it. But I don’t want the misunderstanding to continue.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFw70zy4Xj
Kiri: “…Would it…be so bad?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqgWhgL7Vp
Izuku: “Kiri, we talked about this.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61tFLu4D5c
Kiri: “…I know. But… at home?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDnkjzzZMh
Izuku sighed but accepted her proposal. There’s nothing wrong with simple affectionate gestures between siblings. What’s the worst that can happen?
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuuWu4LuIL
Izuku: “That’s fine.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyRrUe71kG
Kiri: “… Okay.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDKf1talj4
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sxcAY6cQ8
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKGnIy6XAi
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gLSouwTAQ
Aizawa: “Finally here, sit down.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubgxwepfXp
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLvbUd8U3V
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe7OczmrrK
Aizawa: “First, who do you all did the best in this exercise?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSJ7g04Mpt
“Yaoyorozu!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkusjSHJJP
Momo: “Achoo!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVGhl2TQjp
The answer was immediate. So much so, that the now-sick Momo couldn’t register it right away.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl5ENoV8AD
Momo: “W-Wait, me?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0m76eP4bJ
Jiro: “Yeah, you did great.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lM73kp1Ih
Ida: “A true hero we all can learn from!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvd4GR7DIz
Mina: “You were so cool, Yaomomo.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfsvva4Tg2
Momo: “But I… lost. How could I have the highest marks? I think Todoroki deserves it more.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2WhNX3i7Q
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JM1sUX9A7
Momo: “I… don’t know what to say.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJHdfPRxzN
Izuku: “He’s right; you even came up with the plan. It didn’t work because I… messed up.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueTCdmxvEY
Sero & Uraraka: “We did too.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rpRIMPlsn
Izuku: “But the plan was solid. You were the most heroic person in the field. Don’t doubt that.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EW63cn8O1
Momo: “T-Thank you, Midoriya. I appreciate it.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwwXtVTUNt
He gives him a sweet smile that nearly makes the poor boy blush. But the moment was interrupted by Aizawa.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8B1wT1KPf
Aizawa: “Speaking of mess ups, Midoriya and Bakugo.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl7jFo6x9n
The two stiffened up when their names were called.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Uh2WGxxLn
Aizawa: “Everyone, except maybe Tae, who was more interested in training Kirishima,-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVXfpk8CzJ
Kirishima: “Thanks by the way.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOuGprS0rC
Kiri: “Nh.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBL0e69avT
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i1puPK4GR
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?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMpbKOvua9
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ48PKyJVF
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj20sqmg3c
Jiro: ‘Don’t know about Bakugo. He was clearly the aggressor in that fight.’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLbqZZsvkI
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqLRHXk9iD
They nodded once more.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21gBylnffk
Aizawa: “Good, now, I’m tired. Class dismissed.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLfNXoThz3
The class dispersed mostly silently, the somber atmosphere discouraging any jovial antics.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzzw3Ls10g
But before leaving, Izuku does what he has to do. He goes to Jiro and bows.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyqbrXMBqq
Izuku: “I’m sorry! There is no excuse; I should have noticed you or kept the collateral damage to a minimum. I’m sorry!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOFwEpd5nU
Jiro: “Dude, it’s fine. Just be more careful next time, okay?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwYRZKZiAs
Izuku: “Of course! I won’t let something like that happen again. See you tomorrow, Jiro.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrXr6rpn8o
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsccwHLdFx
He didn’t notice Kiri furrowing her brows, feeling her beloved depressing thoughts.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG7ior48gR
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYTYhUnHlA
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi1lnZ5sqH
The idea that he doesn’t matter anymore. That he is the pebble instead. He couldn’t stand it!
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlEddDHHVk
Bakugo: “Deku!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztSBYaWBnc
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UZY9s4jFd
Izuku: “Kacchan.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS79JTMY9Fu
They stared each other down for a moment before Bakugo broke down first.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yj1NqSmNh
Bakugo: “Why?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxk6s8Q0hT
Izuku: “What?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZAqxdQNMo
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!?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr1uUM64Dt
For the first time, Izuku snapped. Good thing everyone else was already gone, because he has words.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZvyXk7xLG
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!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jNl2y5SG2
Bakugo was stunned. Deku, scared little Deku, the one who always followed behind him, said something like that.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xDKe3sPfQ
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRxHziE9MB
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryRuweIeCq
Izuku: “That’s what has changed, Kacchan, I’m not weak anymore. I’m not a quirkless pebble.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjLQM4Ve2s
Bakugo: “You-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RDDkt1oHa
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!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3E4n3VLVp
Bakugo: “Huh?! You’ll beat me for real?! Today, you did beat me, ass-clown!! But…that doesn’t change anything!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1xRwiRkfT
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!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURMqtmgnxF
Bakugo stormed off, making sure to hide the tears coming out of his eyes.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRRVPY9BId
Deku looks on and… smiles. For an instant, the Kacchan he admired returned. The symbol of victory and indomitable will.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0uSf5IwXq
He won’t forgive Kacchan for everything he has done to him. But everyone deserves a second chance, right?
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4xtZ2m3QU
After all, they are finally on the same level playing field.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyV6laO06z
But not everyone feels the same; Kiri watched the scene and felt… disgust.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77TMTJgJX8
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.
