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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNnmQsUjcq
It felt similar to when she lost control before, but different enough to make her even more worried.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPSeSBfcxk
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpetbCn6sZu
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZL1VbH9Kr
Inko: “Sweetie, what… happened?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz7JSQPBma
Izuku said nothing.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSyHmZinGP
All Might: “You’re not in trouble, young Midoriya; we’re just worried.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwA7UzLLak
Izuku: “I know.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfk4ux2yvV
Tatsumaki: “Izu, does this have anything to do with what we talked about?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YRGuVCvjB
His eyes widen a little before settling back to normal.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMRvJsL8WL
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?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wyIYF7nOX
Izuku: “I didn’t mean to.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9g2yKubeh
Inko: “We know, sweetie. We know you would never do something like… that… on purpose.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq4yz6Um6V
Izuku: “… All I remember is going unconscious for a second, and the next, he was screaming. I don’t… know what happened.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXV7znzNkW
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwHVjKwx54
Fubuki: “Let’s think about this from another angle. All Might, what quirk does Shinso have?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWM8nr75EO
All Might: “Hmmmm, from what I remember, he has the ability to brainwash people.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOnP4cao47
Fubuki: “That’s… disturbing.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk30oyPPN8
Tatsumaki: “I think I know what happened.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbMWNstwUD
Izuku: “Y-You do?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP44Zu1FZ2
Tatsumaki: “I thought I sensed another psychic signature. It was weak, but there.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHPQTyxXm1
Fubuki: “So Shinso has a quirk related to ours?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5FUZCmhTM
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but instead of telekinesis, he focuses on mental attacks.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6gIoDfliP
Fubuki: ‘I guess that makes sense. Wait, doesn’t that mean I could do that eventually?’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt29y36I2nk
Inko: “But what does that have to do with Izuku?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRoU7W8yR5
Tatsumaki: “Well, I guess Izu’s mind instinctively defended itself.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2RdTGzYzR
Kiri could see Izuku’s shoulder lose some tension. They were on the right track.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3i4PNQjgO
Inko: “I see! See, sweetie, it’s not your fault.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6b7Xpgl3A
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd1ELIa9na
Izuku: “I’ll… try. I-I’ve already been practicing telepathy with Yaoyorozu.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEM7GVqWtw
Fubuki: “Really?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisTLxpVURq
Tatsumaki: “That might have been what allowed your mind to fight back like that. More practice could help you have more control.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvJ36bYtBs
Izuku: “I… suppose.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKu0ypOBrq
Fubuki: “I can help teach him.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3uqlTEK70
Tatsumaki: “You? How?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshacwaupty
Fubuki: “Well… I’ve been recently… learning how to read minds.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTppU7zIlz
They all look at Fubuki with wide eyes full of surprise.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD301Y1drRf
Tatsumaki: “You can do that!? Why didn’t you tell me?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5V41Zh9wy
Fubuki crossed her arms and looked away.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wiZDp0cUD
Fubuki: “I didn’t want to until I mastered it. You always said I should train harder; well, I found time.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaptTv4o4p
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLqjVa75iC
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.’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aUVXtAqCZ
A trick or ability Tatsumaki would master in just a few moments.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNizRT8dJ3a
Tatsumaki: ‘Ah…’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60iF8BCdbB
Before that realization could sink in, Fubuki continued.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrol6Gxarp
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fup88nyam
Izuku: “… Okay. Thanks, Fubu.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo9DgWUXCk
Fubuki: “Anytime.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyaKgnikNI
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ237uVq0ozZ
Izuku: “They might still be scared.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlOwgpgrwO
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4b1NtzzTq
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, thanks everyone.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoaAS8K64q
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE3ZEcf38q
Tatsumaki: “You have an impressive classmate, Izu.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9stLp0Qyie
Inko: “W-W-What is that!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3b3yixj0z
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps1VMjJAQH
Izuku: “Todoroki… ”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e1jBOu4yS
All Might: “He might have gone a bit overboard.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnij7nsm63H
Kiri: “Icicle strong. Poor Smile.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbWLiKB4Yu
Fubuki: “Doesn’t that mean you’re up next?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY16tiwITP
Kiri: “Ah.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAmYv1ObKL
Inko: “That’s right! Good luck, sweetie!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8BKX6CfiF
Kiri: “Ih.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtooEyHkjPF
Kiri grabs Izuku’s hand and helps him up.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicn13n6krG
Kiri: “Cheer for me?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT6YYWGAbM
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCYH9s6mnA
Kiri: “… Good.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEagOFdOL7
All Might: “I’ll walk young Midoriya to where his class is.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNRMKDerKk
Fubuki: “I’ll help melt the ice.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ98kdnuNok
Tatsumaki: “You don’t want me to do it?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cNM2YU473
Fubuki: “I can handle it.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o3fPmR9dc
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo4AlnRS3a
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA41Inih832
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnCebfR1Fi
All Might: “Don’t worry, young Midoriya, it will be alright. Your classmates will not treat you any differently.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAephIfO38
Izuku: “I-I know. Doesn’t stop my heart from racing.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7o4MaBrbU
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH7Vk3lBl7
Izuku: ‘Not on purpose.’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dhXJTe7az
All Might: “I’ll go check on Shinso. You cheer on your sister and prepare yourself for your next match.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpSMwaLZU3
Izuku: “R-Right. Thank you, All Might.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXPzoLLqhU
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVWN7eFlXA
Mina: “Oh, Midoriya!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9mMsXgsFu
The entire class snaps their heads towards the boy, who instantly freezes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo05ajSzWQ
Izuku: “H-Hey-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJUSVUiPKX
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?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYLnK0FqrQ
Before Izuku could answer, Momo came to the front.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnuDT9fHPG
Momo: “Midoriya, you don’t have to answer if you don’t feel comfortable. We trust you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Iblm334t
Uraraka: “Yeah! But we would still like to know.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7PMvigycx
Denki: “For curiosity’s sake.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjshGuRo7C
Izuku: “T-Thanks e-everyone. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what I know.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX1B6vi2ub
And so Izuku explained what he discussed with his family. After hearing the story, they all sighed in relief.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD7mFWmWgI
Ida: “I knew you were not someone who would do something like that on purpose. I’m glad I was not wrong.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ro4wkEAL9
Mina: “Yeah, looks like Bakugo was right.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7Fa4A8dTm
Izuku: “Kacchan?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44gNbn86uc
Kirishima: “Yeah, he actually defended you when we were worried. Crazy, huh?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF62moQBMxw
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASSRDA2Ped
Izuku: ‘Is he… changing?’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1pweVpDlE
Denki: “Wait a minute!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53Akwc2Pg7
Thunder Boy held his hands up before getting everyone back to what’s really important.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQeINSqKDP
Denki: “Midoriya, are you telling us you spent days training with Yaoyorozu? At her house? Alone!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqgaw8SadL
Izuku: “Y-Yes?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZB5UgNI7B
Denki: “You lucky bas-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1B3mBnT2s
His words are cut short by a stab to the neck by Jiro’s ear jacks.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2RVwjmiKf
Denki: “gah!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqJNRLgKdz
Jiro: “Idiot.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40bEUMN21w
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOd4rTS5ku
Momo: ‘Now that Kaminari mentioned it, that was rather bold of me. If Midoriya were a different type of boy, we may have-’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42rKJ08Q7L
Tokoyami: “The next match is starting.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD55WHJzf2
They look at Tokoyami, who was sitting down already, prepared to view the next match.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxUPRp9IED
Kirishima: “Right! I don’t want to miss this!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjM2uiJ8TR
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhB4diZcVL
Knowing which voice would comment, he immediately shut it down and focused on the match instead.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YmrqD2pFw
Izuku: ‘Good luck, Kiri. I know you can do this.’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LWOGzwB29
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDGR47xZHD
Present Mic: “And here we are, folks, MATCH THREE!! Will this one be just as brief as the last two? Let’s find out!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OhrCvJXS8
Kiri steps to the stage and faces her opponent, Aoi Nogami.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzhEJnaWF6
Present Mic: “On one side, we have the silent and incredibly strong girl from the department of heroics, class 1-A, Kiri Tae!!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVpqKiArJA
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!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QLtMLFo5A
Aoi: “Sad to say, this match will be quick too.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxwzKhlEyB
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3N05hhITg
Kiri didn’t respond; she got into a fighting position and readied herself.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPquFRbpEez
Kiri: ‘Onii, watch me!’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYImbFiCEJd
Present Mic: “START!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn5bOLLEIw
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabPKQSO4S9
Present Mic: “Oh, will we have a real fight here, folks!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJxTyoOugO
If Kiri could sweat, she would be drenched. She tightens her stance and narrows her gaze.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUTv5s9pp8
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MdLaYqXS3
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKDxwmXAzn
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8z0qmXYYR
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!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGDqYFrbRS
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHpIXk3ysW
But clearly, Kiri was a physical powerhouse as well.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMTsl09LIe
Aoi: ‘Oh, well. Here goes nothing.’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnTFTynWRa
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls7SbvFrgm
So she goes on the offensive, dashing forward with fist raised, ready to knock the girl out.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcay3HHtlt
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNto3wf6nMF
But before the blow landed, both her and the stage disappeared.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV4N1LqvOj
Everyone: “HUUUUUH!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeirFSn3uA1
Present Mic: “S-S-She teleported the entire stage high into the sky!!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrNiBDZO2p
Kiri’s eyes widen as she sees the green grass feet away. She was… going to lose?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P5lJ1a6jm
Kiri: ‘No!’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC12Na1xZI
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLaLmdC2zM
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0umDH9oAR1
But aside from her body, what else is she always touching but never uses telekinesis on?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs7O8dNtol
Kiri: “SMAASH!!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtncqh3AOR7
Air.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliY2xYvAdW
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!
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVEjnuY1yC
She shot straight through the stage, shattering it into several large pieces.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNKJQzpEPn
Aoi: “Shoot!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsmcx18gQI
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0rxNzSU1h
Present Mic: “Thank you, Tornado, for saving the spectators and Midnight!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVL979VIwe
Tatsumaki nods before sitting back down to watch the conclusion of this surprising match.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJuzyspiZI
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!!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayKG2IxV6x
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4YFaeJqHP
Seeing an opening, Kiri kicks off the air and tackles Aoi.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSkwwSDZog
Aoi: “Ugh!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPNB3hbIie
They’re both quickly heading to a meeting with the hard ground.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCPBmggysM
Seeing this, Aoi teleports back up. But Kiri is still stuck to her like glue. This was it, the dead end.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5fPBAXt5Y
She could keep teleporting, but Kiri wouldn’t let go, and Aoi can’t break out of the hold.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZsHVVTLx4
Kiri: “Give. Up.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvi9PsRelU
Aoi closes her eyes and sighs.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWJRVspkzo
Aoi: “Okay, you win.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyst4g6Yj5
With one last teleport, the two appear, standing on the grass.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCWL3eNoHO
Aoi: “I give.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmaLzMR5DF
Midnight: “N-Nogami surrenders! Tae advances to round two!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXZIFDnSoc
With the results in, Kiri lets go of Aoi.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSg5qFdfNd
Aoi: “Man, you have a tight grip. Thanks for the match.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJqBq5F6xp
Aoi holds out her hand, and Kiri smiles before taking it.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4a4FO0RU6
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLtZklEYT1
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr2mz4SOJM
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cGVQGC5OE
Denki: “You want to fight that?!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezkfDkyW7W
Kirishima nervously chuckles.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaT3tTKZdF
Kirishima: “I have a long way to go. But yeah, I still want to show how far I’ve come as a fighter.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkpgpmLmEg
Denki: “Bro, are you an M?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTHUOjdruh
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM39gFjVr4
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFvIRrjrdh
Izuku: ‘I know you’re strong, Kiri. But… ’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErPwUyZKC7
He shakes the depressing thoughts away. This is a festival, right? Everyone should be having fun.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu3jPk2Cpa
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-’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIxtC9yvgw
Good thing Izuku always has a notebook at the ready, because his mind is finally focused on something fun. Quirk analysis.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBAozloRgW
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n7VoACUzb
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQifQL7rDzh
His eyes flutter open, releasing a soft purple and gold glow. But before anyone could notice, it settled back into its normal state.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GilrcRRK3
But despite outward appearances, his eyes were different. They were better. All his senses were better. The world looked and felt different.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXzL8FgpVD
He was different. But why and how?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0UtPJxDz8
Shinso was finally awake, and he needed answers.
