Kiri is usually very perceptive to the changes within Izuku, but not this time. Whatever happened was too quick, too sudden, for her to fully grasp.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzdqzwcK2d
It felt similar to when she lost control before, but different enough to make her even more worried.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp6uDsVkcg
As soon as Shinso fell unconscious, she knew her sisters would want some answers. So she left her class and made her way to where they were.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsFcRoQujN
It didn’t take long for the whole family to convene; even All Might was there. They all looked at Izuku who had his head downcast. Inko sat next to him, rubbing his back.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICfq8tRxGc
Inko: “Sweetie, what… happened?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvCxZvrjkf
Izuku said nothing.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWq8tCXmeX
All Might: “You’re not in trouble, young Midoriya; we’re just worried.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JaideUgNd
Izuku: “I know.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWnlzhEHcF
Tatsumaki: “Izu, does this have anything to do with what we talked about?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAFj0VB94g
His eyes widen a little before settling back to normal.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2d3UDnOiF
Tatsumaki: “I see. The first step in learning how not to fear your quirk is to understand it. So, what did you do to the boy?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zdrqivlDr
Izuku: “I didn’t mean to.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsEzuj1UNs
Inko: “We know, sweetie. We know you would never do something like… that… on purpose.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiroAnndB1I
Izuku: “… All I remember is going unconscious for a second, and the next, he was screaming. I don’t… know what happened.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA62PWry1A
They all could tell that last part was a lie. Maybe he doesn’t know exactly what happened, but he has an idea. This only increased their worry.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhawKkaoFgT
Fubuki: “Let’s think about this from another angle. All Might, what quirk does Shinso have?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m0pIyp2VO
All Might: “Hmmmm, from what I remember, he has the ability to brainwash people.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4cTyCg0L6
Fubuki: “That’s… disturbing.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0p8GpzxTf
Tatsumaki: “I think I know what happened.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOPFv6toZz
Izuku: “Y-You do?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn19TUjd3Ax
Tatsumaki: “I thought I sensed another psychic signature. It was weak, but there.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZamNNBpdI8
Fubuki: “So Shinso has a quirk related to ours?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UuLDZjfOw
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but instead of telekinesis, he focuses on mental attacks.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtWmHvS2Av
Fubuki: ‘I guess that makes sense. Wait, doesn’t that mean I could do that eventually?’
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEeot9xU5t
Inko: “But what does that have to do with Izuku?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B7qFxI5hY
Tatsumaki: “Well, I guess Izu’s mind instinctively defended itself.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzutJJP86jJ
Kiri could see Izuku’s shoulder lose some tension. They were on the right track.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7UYN3TrRF
Inko: “I see! See, sweetie, it’s not your fault.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CUNgiVvwZ
All Might: “She’s right, young Midoriya; don’t let what happened get to you. Young Shinso will be alright; Recovery Girl is on the case. In the meantime, you need to get this side of your quirk under control.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsXI8c3oys
Izuku: “I’ll… try. I-I’ve already been practicing telepathy with Yaoyorozu.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLyOZ50D2F
Fubuki: “Really?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5pOqH3yqg
Tatsumaki: “That might have been what allowed your mind to fight back like that. More practice could help you have more control.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFLosyNX9C
Izuku: “I… suppose.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMGunpL1US
Fubuki: “I can help teach him.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhbEFBiOID
Tatsumaki: “You? How?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wyyeHp8ZI
Fubuki: “Well… I’ve been recently… learning how to read minds.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOnKEEVGFb
They all look at Fubuki with wide eyes full of surprise.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2224bXG6Q
Tatsumaki: “You can do that!? Why didn’t you tell me?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudMcM6aQKH
Fubuki crossed her arms and looked away.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhaZGv5QYz
Fubuki: “I didn’t want to until I mastered it. You always said I should train harder; well, I found time.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwyBsNOiaO
Yeah, Tatsumaki always said that. Put the agency on the back burner and train harder. That way, Fubuki can stand proudly beside her at the top. But for some reason, this didn’t put a smile on her face.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYX1yN5cH3
Tatsumaki: ‘Why would she hide it from me? She used to be so excited to share when she learned a new trick with her quirk.’
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Fd9VcU1h
A trick or ability Tatsumaki would master in just a few moments.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VPVl6vfCQ
Tatsumaki: ‘Ah…’
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte88M0dHbb
Before that realization could sink in, Fubuki continued.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswJ2g362hE
Fubuki: “So, Izu, if you need help, come to me. We can help each other master this ability so we don’t hurt anyone on accident.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNebRXF2EYF
Izuku: “… Okay. Thanks, Fubu.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgSMhzoTN7
Fubuki: “Anytime.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMihIUFyKj
All Might: “Great! I’m glad you all have sorted this out. I’ll inform everyone else what we’ve learned about young Midoriya’s quirk.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI7TawOuUE
Izuku: “They might still be scared.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkncn2UTUUs
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, can’t please everyone. You are what you are. As long as you don’t go overboard or misuse your quirk, most people will be fine with you. You’ll see.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQeI64POaZ
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, thanks everyone.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJS624C9PJ
Just then, a loud boom was felt throughout the whole stadium. Tatsumaki was ready to tear apart the villain who dared come here. But she relaxed when she saw the real reason.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR2GDz1nDE
Tatsumaki: “You have an impressive classmate, Izu.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN9abBiqMY
Inko: “W-W-What is that!?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3m7yF8I9V
A massive glacier of ice engulfs a large portion of the stadium. It was large enough for the whole group to see it out of their window. It was actually pretty close to their booth.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLokzF42xDk
Izuku: “Todoroki… ”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmijl5SEl4G
All Might: “He might have gone a bit overboard.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVZS7GEFAL
Kiri: “Icicle strong. Poor Smile.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWRPEvKRAV
Fubuki: “Doesn’t that mean you’re up next?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsYpFWhTHA
Kiri: “Ah.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK0qyuOAk7
Inko: “That’s right! Good luck, sweetie!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPU0nk0tq8
Kiri: “Ih.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXBBnCZH18
Kiri grabs Izuku’s hand and helps him up.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAUpg3DSuh
Kiri: “Cheer for me?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFvIiC2O7J
Izuku: “O-Of course. I’ll be with everyone else. Don’t worry, Kiri, I’m… okay now. It wasn’t my fault; I know that now.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbfSVL2sRq
Kiri: “… Good.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTQWPFmb03
All Might: “I’ll walk young Midoriya to where his class is.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYHIdKHH7b
Fubuki: “I’ll help melt the ice.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgideox8LX
Tatsumaki: “You don’t want me to do it?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhNPEC1447
Fubuki: “I can handle it.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWG6Qqn4Qj
Fubuki floated out of the booth and towards the glacier. Shaving away the ice with her quirk shouldn’t be too difficult. Besides, she can’t sit and do nothing this whole festival.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzzy9xmgKf
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoJBYaNkyj
It didn’t take long for the trio to make it to where the rest of the class was. Izuku peered out of the corner to see his classmates sitting down and socializing while the glacier was rapidly shrinking.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUgn8jZsOf
All Might: “Don’t worry, young Midoriya, it will be alright. Your classmates will not treat you any differently.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMRzljV2ec
Izuku: “I-I know. Doesn’t stop my heart from racing.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KZjYXjUIL
All Might: “Hahaha, if anything, it proves you didn’t do it on purpose. Someone who worries about how his friends see him wouldn’t do something to make them fear him.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQH3LRHmid
Izuku: ‘Not on purpose.’
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6ChU3VUln
All Might: “I’ll go check on Shinso. You cheer on your sister and prepare yourself for your next match.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBG4K5I0dY
Izuku: “R-Right. Thank you, All Might.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiXoxcVsVd
The boy waved goodbye to his idol turned mentor. When he was out of sight, Izuku sighed. Bringing his mind back together and rejecting those low rumblings within, he steps towards his classmates.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyOdiylarU
Mina: “Oh, Midoriya!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLAdpnAr8n
The entire class snaps their heads towards the boy, who instantly freezes.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokkhAGtSM3
Izuku: “H-Hey-”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMppIBO5zKk
Several of the more worried and curious classmates bolted towards him. The questions came one after the other. All of them, however, boiled down to a single concern. What did Izuku do to Shinso, and are they both okay?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvrjN7tuQz
Before Izuku could answer, Momo came to the front.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJl0LUAX8L
Momo: “Midoriya, you don’t have to answer if you don’t feel comfortable. We trust you.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrXmzbdiXF
Uraraka: “Yeah! But we would still like to know.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhca9SPaOD
Denki: “For curiosity’s sake.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ497zO0fccj
Izuku: “T-Thanks e-everyone. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what I know.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLalM7SPnvL
And so Izuku explained what he discussed with his family. After hearing the story, they all sighed in relief.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAulrYnhBTB
Ida: “I knew you were not someone who would do something like that on purpose. I’m glad I was not wrong.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2L7hlhJn9
Mina: “Yeah, looks like Bakugo was right.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiXWbFI30B
Izuku: “Kacchan?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PX97lp59G
Kirishima: “Yeah, he actually defended you when we were worried. Crazy, huh?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwSRiUogzO
Izuku’s eyes widened and his heart lifted when he heard that. He looked past his friends to see Bakugo, who kept his gaze on the arena.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrBoDrUrA0
Izuku: ‘Is he… changing?’
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uzf8DT1aV
Denki: “Wait a minute!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaTQqd2IDw
Thunder Boy held his hands up before getting everyone back to what’s really important.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaxg3soYmh
Denki: “Midoriya, are you telling us you spent days training with Yaoyorozu? At her house? Alone!?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9DsrGlubi
Izuku: “Y-Yes?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqnvsdwjGN
Denki: “You lucky bas-”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPmzhGR42t
His words are cut short by a stab to the neck by Jiro’s ear jacks.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwyPckA343
Denki: “gah!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflQWkHfXRe
Jiro: “Idiot.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0v5lHukyG
The group laughed, which slowly helped Izuku put himself back together. As for Momo, she tried to fight down the blush that graced her cheeks.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg0sbAVArR
Momo: ‘Now that Kaminari mentioned it, that was rather bold of me. If Midoriya were a different type of boy, we may have-’
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eXvSRDj6P
Tokoyami: “The next match is starting.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DWSVciBEn
They look at Tokoyami, who was sitting down already, prepared to view the next match.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCTi5rsfya
Kirishima: “Right! I don’t want to miss this!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuhEC62V4T
The class went back to their seats, and Izuku joined them. To his surprise, he was in between two girls. Uraraka to his left and Momo to his right.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULyQnRDgmt
Knowing which voice would comment, he immediately shut it down and focused on the match instead.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg85EkMik1
Izuku: ‘Good luck, Kiri. I know you can do this.’
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8WzJBzZ0c
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqOSHDRrtG
Present Mic: “And here we are, folks, MATCH THREE!! Will this one be just as brief as the last two? Let’s find out!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcvqRybdA8
Kiri steps to the stage and faces her opponent, Aoi Nogami.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYOStIfjOD
Present Mic: “On one side, we have the silent and incredibly strong girl from the department of heroics, class 1-A, Kiri Tae!!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnzdK6DyJ0
Present Mic: “Her opponent! The girl who stole victory with a single move during the obstacle race. The teleporter from the department of heroics, class 1-B, Aoi Nogami!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjEyzEs06I
Aoi: “Sad to say, this match will be quick too.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgOEBvbAXt
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY!?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHYAbLsKjJ
Kiri didn’t respond; she got into a fighting position and readied herself.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WkSBRVMSB
Kiri: ‘Onii, watch me!’
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEERavry9r1
Present Mic: “START!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBxd8PDDCN
Instantly, Aoi teleports in front of Kiri and tries to touch her. Sensing danger, Kiri dodges right on time and dashes to the other side of the arena. The dash, however, was messy, tearing up the ground with every step.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJWyCP49lu
Present Mic: “Oh, will we have a real fight here, folks!?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdxRnoYN4b
If Kiri could sweat, she would be drenched. She tightens her stance and narrows her gaze.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmIFpeDxaz
Aoi: “So you figured me out, huh? Yeah, one touch is all I need. And I have a feeling, one day, I won’t even need to do that.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGLRl2DAqd
Again, Aoi was gone. Only thanks to her acute senses was Kiri able to dodge another palm strike from behind. But Aoi didn’t stop; she teleported everywhere Kiri went.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInlfxCHiWs
But Kiri was too fast physically to be tagged by Aoi. At this point, this was nothing but a game of tag. One that could go on for hours.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jbBOO2100
Present Mic: “Wow! I can barely keep up with these two! But this can’t go on forever; who will be the first to trip up!?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DsAeCJiLm
He was right; someone had to take a risk if they wanted this to end. With that in mind, Aoi was the first to try something crazy. She wanted to wait to try this against one of the stronger physical fighters, like Bakugo or Todoroki.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtyUqo1Oat
But clearly, Kiri was a physical powerhouse as well.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSuVM81yze
Aoi: ‘Oh, well. Here goes nothing.’
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJIwuynq6G
The esper breaks off her assault and teleports to the edge of the arena. Kiri was confused for a second but quickly guessed that Aoi might finally be tired.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjKwXRbl4F
So she goes on the offensive, dashing forward with fist raised, ready to knock the girl out.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtXDNoiRkW
But Aoi wasn’t tired; no, she was focusing. She placed her hands on the stage and willed her desire into existence. Veins emerged on her forehead just as Kiri was in front of her.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zm739hylI
But before the blow landed, both her and the stage disappeared.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq2g76CJ3C
Everyone: “HUUUUUH!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM2UGE48X8
Present Mic: “S-S-She teleported the entire stage high into the sky!!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmK2q2cLrd
Kiri’s eyes widen as she sees the green grass feet away. She was… going to lose?
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGRzN31Er8
Kiri: ‘No!’
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wm6rxQknz
Her brain went into overdrive, desperate for an answer to her problem. A split second later, the conclusion revealed itself. It was a side of her ability that she hasn’t used often.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezcF6vm9R0
Her ability is tactile telekinesis, the ability to use telekinesis on things she touches. It’s what gives Kiri her immense physical power and near-complete body control.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa2Mi3qGQS
But aside from her body, what else is she always touching but never uses telekinesis on?
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPnSTj6Jov
Kiri: “SMAASH!!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WNAe0xl11
Air.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTn427joSN
An explosion of wind and smoke envelops the ground as Kiri is propelled into the air by the force of her attack. In fact, she kind of overshot it!
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJHuhiihVf
She shot straight through the stage, shattering it into several large pieces.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbSS5M3iIW
Aoi: “Shoot!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhovkn7bv3
Aoi teleports out of the way of the rumble. As for the spectators, they were saved when green energy enveloped the rumble and carefully lowered it onto the ground, away from the stunned Midnight.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYicj3NNZy
Present Mic: “Thank you, Tornado, for saving the spectators and Midnight!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGciHzhnAa
Tatsumaki nods before sitting back down to watch the conclusion of this surprising match.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaUAxbwlio
Present Mic: “I swear, kids these days are crazy! With no stage, it looks like this is a battle for the air. Whoever touches the ground first LOSES!!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptSFO2LwsL
Seeing a chance to end this madness, Aoi senses the space where Kiri is at and teleports there. Kiri quickly rights herself and hits the air once again. The explosion of air was enough to blow Aoi back, disorienting her.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1p4hTTbtr
Seeing an opening, Kiri kicks off the air and tackles Aoi.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp0DJzRZq8
Aoi: “Ugh!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGMMCiULhz
They’re both quickly heading to a meeting with the hard ground.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYNVz9oxjW
Seeing this, Aoi teleports back up. But Kiri is still stuck to her like glue. This was it, the dead end.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNyXYtjE6Z
She could keep teleporting, but Kiri wouldn’t let go, and Aoi can’t break out of the hold.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQUDsCvbN1
Kiri: “Give. Up.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxGw9tAv4R
Aoi closes her eyes and sighs.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpTEQhqhYL
Aoi: “Okay, you win.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCMlCROem5
With one last teleport, the two appear, standing on the grass.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk53bXqcQt4
Aoi: “I give.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JPZGokp58
Midnight: “N-Nogami surrenders! Tae advances to round two!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI6gWD6h5v
With the results in, Kiri lets go of Aoi.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRPyyOaOA8
Aoi: “Man, you have a tight grip. Thanks for the match.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYana0RBF2g
Aoi holds out her hand, and Kiri smiles before taking it.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ6sGB5le9
Present Mic: “Such sportsmanship and utter destruction! We haven’t seen a battle like that since Blizzard versus Psykos! And I have a feeling it will only get better from here! So stay tuned! Right now, we need to repair the stage.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPNsjQ35aG
Aoi teleports back to her team while Kiri looks up at her classmates, specifically Izuku, and gives them the biggest smile she could give along with a peace sign.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AiAXlQb5D
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HDVEJCwne
Denki: “You want to fight that?!”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfPJazhTXQ
Kirishima nervously chuckles.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOJOOus0SA
Kirishima: “I have a long way to go. But yeah, I still want to show how far I’ve come as a fighter.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DJnhGfHnT
Denki: “Bro, are you an M?”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTVhYhClTt
As the rest of his class discusses the short but explosive battle, Izuku keeps his gaze on Kiri. Unlike everyone else, he heard what was beyond that smile.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeiLsgNU2y
Kiri: “Izu, you’re not the only dangerous one. Even if you can’t control it yet, you can practice with me. I can take it all and help you through it. I’m strong. I’ll prove it to you.”
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Qdhm8ImN
Izuku: ‘I know you’re strong, Kiri. But… ’
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplx9fkVJGO
He shakes the depressing thoughts away. This is a festival, right? Everyone should be having fun.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvr59iHgdp
Izuku: ‘Relax… focus on something else. Like how Kiri used her quirk. Or the abilities Nogami showed. Or how different and similar psychic quirks are. Or-’
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXA54jipWl
Good thing Izuku always has a notebook at the ready, because his mind is finally focused on something fun. Quirk analysis.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkWO2fouwz
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRteGfynt3M
Back in the nurse’s office, a new breed was stirring. On the bed, his body snaps into its final state. No, this is just the first step. He can go so much higher.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniv4IOVaxI
His eyes flutter open, releasing a soft purple and gold glow. But before anyone could notice, it settled back into its normal state.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSFhkEYd7F
But despite outward appearances, his eyes were different. They were better. All his senses were better. The world looked and felt different.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgbMYY8HhW
He was different. But why and how?
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fe1zQ8xd8
Shinso was finally awake, and he needed answers.
