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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK9azpDkap
To his right was a snoring Kirishima. He was a bit banged up, but he seemed fine. But to his left was…Deku.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl9cJjK0Qw
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0E6k7fKOF
Now it was clear who knocked him out.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbysMQLXPyW
Bakugo: “You!”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojdkmFuzCY
Kiri: “Me.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO3aGf2cwT
Before Bakugo could start something, the door opened to reveal Recovery Girl.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlTjsiqebR
Recovery Girl: “No! No fighting in my office, do you two understand?!”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR1GCirtKf
Bakugo: “Tch.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFEo9HT0wT
Kiri: “Fine.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP9tggtSvN
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.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmuXr34GSX
Bakugo: “Ha, Deku was the one in danger. I won our fight!”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFZ3IUdJy4
Kiri: “No, you didn’t.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPn2eGtRkP
Bakugo: “What the fuck did you say, ghost girl!?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIg4nQBcMX
Kiri: “That you’re a sore loser, bomb boy.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeQIY6WezA
Bakugo: “Why you-”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd0madN5JT
Recovery Girl: “She’s right, you know. You might have died if not for Midoriya.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLkQgYWcI4
Bakugo: “What the hell are you talking about!? I won our fight! I was barely damaged!”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirviFSEGVv
Recovery Girl: “That’s because he shielded you during the clash.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSDAWKetBM
His eyes became pinpricks as she said that. It…couldn’t be.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vysearim7
Bakugo: ‘He… what?’
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQc4ESXjCf
Recovery Girl: “I was also watching the battles, and a few seconds before the explosion, a green shield enveloped you.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJFFkXejZM
Bakugo: “No… why would he-”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrZEo0I9x1
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-”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WdssDOumC
Recovery Girl: “Let’s not be so hasty to wish death on another, Tae. He’s still just a kid.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuCe7viEYM
Kiri: “…No excuses.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6roK9j0Cm
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuUvWAublX
Bakugo: ‘If that’s true, then… I didn’t win. Not even close.’
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQQ928At7A
Bakugo: ‘Despite going all out, I-I… lost to… Deku!?’
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KDEq8WSsB
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOIWNpTDNj
Yet again, Deku shows concern for him when he doesn’t need it.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8MscoQK3R
Or deserve it.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4cPwTy7Rh
He can’t accept that stray thought, not yet. Instead, one cornerstone is crumbling.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD5orMLJZt
Bakugo: ‘He’s… not a pebble anymore.’
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt6GB7hwuG
This fact is undeniable. Deku is no longer a mere pebble but a peer, a proper obstacle in his path.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjgVge1qfJ
But with a quirk like his, with his rate of growth, won’t their positions reverse?
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTriQkZw4i
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X82wfY6sU
If not for Recovery Girl’s words, he would have shattered.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqohZPfdNJi
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.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCMwOludiT
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29Ch5gx5cS
In silence.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa5Z60wyps
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkerx4zjow
Phoenix: “Here you are, again.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKANtwdsAuH
Izuku was floating in a void filled with stars and again looked up at those enormous green orbs.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bzfG3BVGX
Izuku: “Haha, I guess Kacchan’s attack was stronger than I thought.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKaeVN6sQl
Phoenix: “You weren’t damaged that badly.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sVeqL2rBo
Izuku: “Then… why am I here? Is there something wrong?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2drIUbuvR
Phoenix: “Not at the moment. Just a small concern.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmXdobsQrM
Izuku: “What?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTlOajbyHU
Phoenix: “Why did you defend that child?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3upMN0n6V
Izuku: “Because… despite everything, I still don’t want to severely hurt Kacchan. I was… unsure if I could fully control Psi Explosion.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61hDvTYKmU
Phoenix: “So it’s okay for him to severely harm you?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrO8Yq0eMp
Izuku: “…”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8ZqPf1GnS
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.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocKSmTB8Vc
Izuku: “Kacchan is not baggage! Besides, what enemy are you talking about? Is it some villain?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTZ23QCtlS
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.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIicyD8OlGr
Izuku: “R-Right.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcuMfR9byr
Like before, the space begins to shake and collapse.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL9pMGV1hn
It’s time to wake up.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27P69mgPJ1
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY7FT1DD29
It took all she had to stop herself. It would be so easy to pop his head open like a-
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10EOwPNAKh
No! That’s not heroic!
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSvM3SzWcL
But he hurt onii-chan! MY ONII-CHAN!
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWvtqCadAg
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD60UjGxH1
Nothing else mattered.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVAtn6oc2c
She stroked his hair and smiled. She loved him. She really did.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnwEl3KM93
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TBEOlH8Ig
She didn’t know why or what this meant. But she wanted to do it. So she slowly leaned down and closed her eyes.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR6MfnDiwr
Izuku: “Mmmm.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtIePZO3pd
For whatever reason, Kiri quickly backed away when she heard him waking up.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6boPiz6Zx
Kiri: “I-Izuku?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2NpfPDDpJ
Izuku: “Kiri, where am I? And… why are you blushing?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8M4gI2eUl
Kiri: “Blushing?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2QLPwdXgm
Izuku: “Your face is red.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJtuRGJPAL
Kiri: “I-I don’t know.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kgsxDwGUB
Recovery Girl: “You’re finally awake; good. Everyone is waiting for you in the classroom.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6HZYyjivQ
The two looked at Recovery Girl, who was sitting on a chair nearby. Whether she saw what Kiri was going to do, is unknown.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT3aW0Yhke
Izuku: “So the exercise is over? Who won?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUOp7jvXtl
Recovery Girl: “Villains.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6XWqeTbCA
Izuku: “O-Oh.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTx44glPCI
Kiri could already feel him blaming himself. She grabbed his hand.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MZHOTOpu4
Kiri: “It’s not your fault.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ioOuR0AE5
Izuku: “But if I tried harder and beat Kacchan… ”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvRrWkhaNn
Kiri: “Doesn’t… mean you should blame yourself. You did the best you could. Exercise… a team effort. Shouldn’t… carry all the burden.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe1DXQ7ll1
Izuku smiles at her, a sight that deepens the red in her cheeks.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWoLaLyhoi
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaN62uubHU
She feels his thumb rub the top of her hand. She returns the smile and suppresses the urge to touch his lips again.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tC2Upz0NI
Recovery Girl: “Aw, you two are adorable.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqSpSpJcn4
Kiri: “Nh.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hPpZTQ07A
Izuku doesn’t even try to argue this time. He’ll clear it up soon, but right now he should get back to class.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ125cEmOrUN
Izuku: “So we’re free to go?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjfOws3Rdp
Recovery Girl: “Yep, your flames did most of the work. It’s actually strange that you didn’t wake up sooner.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDGOS1Gk7V
Izuku: “Haha, y-yeah, strange. Let’s go, Kiri.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRUHUgu963
Kiri: “Nh.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyihjpSePtP
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWMdwqtFFG
Izuku: “You’re being very… affectionate.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP8nXBqn9t
Kiri: “Nh. I… like it. Do… you?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCETE1nDsH
Izuku: “I… don’t mind it. But I don’t want the misunderstanding to continue.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIpp9EntYK
Kiri: “…Would it…be so bad?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBqJaAm95F
Izuku: “Kiri, we talked about this.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU5rGkonfZ
Kiri: “…I know. But… at home?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1mYkBLQlN
Izuku sighed but accepted her proposal. There’s nothing wrong with simple affectionate gestures between siblings. What’s the worst that can happen?
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMbYn3OiqO
Izuku: “That’s fine.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmP5itspLu
Kiri: “… Okay.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVcK4Z4im8
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe9v5IGd4Y
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh1Dq1Vs0S
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ176hJQYJKz
Aizawa: “Finally here, sit down.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpoDzynRI7
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFMtMo86Dn
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.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ637KRGlv6h
Aizawa: “First, who do you all did the best in this exercise?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmhJJPkr50
“Yaoyorozu!”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n0vpdtHG0
Momo: “Achoo!”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy97k894jv
The answer was immediate. So much so, that the now-sick Momo couldn’t register it right away.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGPAGnt13M
Momo: “W-Wait, me?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv75D6ZEXpR
Jiro: “Yeah, you did great.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX5c4XyXUf
Ida: “A true hero we all can learn from!”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas4rcHBRwg
Mina: “You were so cool, Yaomomo.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJuG2rKMmH
Momo: “But I… lost. How could I have the highest marks? I think Todoroki deserves it more.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf8UCCbnaT
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.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmq29Hu77a
Momo: “I… don’t know what to say.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vaVCeI57o
Izuku: “He’s right; you even came up with the plan. It didn’t work because I… messed up.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lROaMvzoC
Sero & Uraraka: “We did too.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIVSxntc42
Izuku: “But the plan was solid. You were the most heroic person in the field. Don’t doubt that.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6GMeiU3Tg
Momo: “T-Thank you, Midoriya. I appreciate it.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G4By3JLFi
He gives him a sweet smile that nearly makes the poor boy blush. But the moment was interrupted by Aizawa.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfqNvntZY8
Aizawa: “Speaking of mess ups, Midoriya and Bakugo.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWdOlR4qXs
The two stiffened up when their names were called.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEj4r3OKS4
Aizawa: “Everyone, except maybe Tae, who was more interested in training Kirishima,-”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8Sq31W1Kg
Kirishima: “Thanks by the way.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlX7ubhdRu
Kiri: “Nh.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkgb7mbRpT
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.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiK2H9j7v8
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?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3LyvKDewt
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tKBDZhp1u
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz3BT0uEzz
Jiro: ‘Don’t know about Bakugo. He was clearly the aggressor in that fight.’
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj36DbzCYX
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.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeH1WPU4oU
They nodded once more.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStavJBBdWj
Aizawa: “Good, now, I’m tired. Class dismissed.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RoOQPAM1l
The class dispersed mostly silently, the somber atmosphere discouraging any jovial antics.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSywI1SzsL
But before leaving, Izuku does what he has to do. He goes to Jiro and bows.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQgppVDbO9
Izuku: “I’m sorry! There is no excuse; I should have noticed you or kept the collateral damage to a minimum. I’m sorry!”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTC4crMBiQ
Jiro: “Dude, it’s fine. Just be more careful next time, okay?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe7UDI0ILa
Izuku: “Of course! I won’t let something like that happen again. See you tomorrow, Jiro.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl9wXThQKE
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYrNHiij9A
He didn’t notice Kiri furrowing her brows, feeling her beloved depressing thoughts.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wcSYFBRYg
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hnkFeqdqd
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3RbcjXdl9
The idea that he doesn’t matter anymore. That he is the pebble instead. He couldn’t stand it!
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrqpXIGNq4
Bakugo: “Deku!”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMta89wAkFK
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswZAmPfPJM
Izuku: “Kacchan.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgFfq7svVT
They stared each other down for a moment before Bakugo broke down first.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadOW86RMaI
Bakugo: “Why?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2npAvr425Z
Izuku: “What?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZr9wSFLfW
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!?”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPNTl3gxYO
For the first time, Izuku snapped. Good thing everyone else was already gone, because he has words.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxyueXkmfs
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!”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrRZqGg5cg
Bakugo was stunned. Deku, scared little Deku, the one who always followed behind him, said something like that.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiF08M6ZWP
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.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW9Ts73QDv
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.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0yfDLCQoq
Izuku: “That’s what has changed, Kacchan, I’m not weak anymore. I’m not a quirkless pebble.”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5heDdUNwM
Bakugo: “You-”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAprpzZ15zK
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!”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPXfXgXQM2
Bakugo: “Huh?! You’ll beat me for real?! Today, you did beat me, ass-clown!! But…that doesn’t change anything!”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyLWR1UI0s
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!”
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztTCNa55oa
Bakugo stormed off, making sure to hide the tears coming out of his eyes.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUBov0hrmi
Deku looks on and… smiles. For an instant, the Kacchan he admired returned. The symbol of victory and indomitable will.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwxyRzC7Lu
He won’t forgive Kacchan for everything he has done to him. But everyone deserves a second chance, right?
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1Wzaoewgy
After all, they are finally on the same level playing field.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YMtQtRxeC
But not everyone feels the same; Kiri watched the scene and felt… disgust.
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPSjnjIGRa
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.
