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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk149P3okU0
It felt similar to when she lost control before, but different enough to make her even more worried.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyQUan7Q1K
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ba57lxACO
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CEuyaXzLv
Inko: “Sweetie, what… happened?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMt8jg81DT
Izuku said nothing.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoCqYKtXBK
All Might: “You’re not in trouble, young Midoriya; we’re just worried.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnpIjVSZHJ
Izuku: “I know.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvgAuvySTs
Tatsumaki: “Izu, does this have anything to do with what we talked about?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3z7Vh1xbX
His eyes widen a little before settling back to normal.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZUa7iNhyI
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?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYpv1zZOgH
Izuku: “I didn’t mean to.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiWApWk04d
Inko: “We know, sweetie. We know you would never do something like… that… on purpose.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoVd6YyUPm
Izuku: “… All I remember is going unconscious for a second, and the next, he was screaming. I don’t… know what happened.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5HnBYGhfs
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUdn1L11G5
Fubuki: “Let’s think about this from another angle. All Might, what quirk does Shinso have?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNwnmkwHk6
All Might: “Hmmmm, from what I remember, he has the ability to brainwash people.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJbQEzxkDz
Fubuki: “That’s… disturbing.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtllHkbXenB
Tatsumaki: “I think I know what happened.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmMUbeddDX
Izuku: “Y-You do?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1dIKpSICc
Tatsumaki: “I thought I sensed another psychic signature. It was weak, but there.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1STJowSqL
Fubuki: “So Shinso has a quirk related to ours?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡameoxU2GM7
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but instead of telekinesis, he focuses on mental attacks.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDR2CsWB2A
Fubuki: ‘I guess that makes sense. Wait, doesn’t that mean I could do that eventually?’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPFDZFPzf0
Inko: “But what does that have to do with Izuku?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnun1Tzh2dD
Tatsumaki: “Well, I guess Izu’s mind instinctively defended itself.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhynVWs6ckQ
Kiri could see Izuku’s shoulder lose some tension. They were on the right track.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy9KLRqryt
Inko: “I see! See, sweetie, it’s not your fault.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK3YbZuKeB
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV7dxud8Fq
Izuku: “I’ll… try. I-I’ve already been practicing telepathy with Yaoyorozu.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVBiDXehqP
Fubuki: “Really?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftdeMGLKMU
Tatsumaki: “That might have been what allowed your mind to fight back like that. More practice could help you have more control.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3EZXryWdB
Izuku: “I… suppose.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiGkQckPBK
Fubuki: “I can help teach him.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjM3RRok0Q
Tatsumaki: “You? How?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObw2upu5bI
Fubuki: “Well… I’ve been recently… learning how to read minds.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuLmViEEXR
They all look at Fubuki with wide eyes full of surprise.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm2SrUAG1f
Tatsumaki: “You can do that!? Why didn’t you tell me?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0GX8HthxZ
Fubuki crossed her arms and looked away.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhkJVXvepH
Fubuki: “I didn’t want to until I mastered it. You always said I should train harder; well, I found time.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhuO6N9td5
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCRdazWtfG
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.’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwPfwlM8Cp
A trick or ability Tatsumaki would master in just a few moments.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0VkHXyf0z
Tatsumaki: ‘Ah…’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7SEyHzeDB
Before that realization could sink in, Fubuki continued.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZIa9L51Zt
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz8t94s55p
Izuku: “… Okay. Thanks, Fubu.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjNU3lCneI
Fubuki: “Anytime.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKXUJFoZ2W
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E57PNk2IE
Izuku: “They might still be scared.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAhVgjCzgZ
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDfCFIqsQQ
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, thanks everyone.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0FDX4I5rF
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iNy1fhyXG
Tatsumaki: “You have an impressive classmate, Izu.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q72TAwb7y
Inko: “W-W-What is that!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGLD4svOlC
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTYaiAI2cb
Izuku: “Todoroki… ”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0bAVvlRWh
All Might: “He might have gone a bit overboard.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiJUKDO6jj
Kiri: “Icicle strong. Poor Smile.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDoVqhSMjH
Fubuki: “Doesn’t that mean you’re up next?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJASLl8bsF
Kiri: “Ah.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpndmDlW8BW
Inko: “That’s right! Good luck, sweetie!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2TDJ0SlSK
Kiri: “Ih.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV2Ax8Yy0r
Kiri grabs Izuku’s hand and helps him up.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOuitjFSiD
Kiri: “Cheer for me?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpKRhDJ8Jd
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE54gZQwyW
Kiri: “… Good.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnwkmOP8N3
All Might: “I’ll walk young Midoriya to where his class is.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR50dd4ys4
Fubuki: “I’ll help melt the ice.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUUQ34fGXi
Tatsumaki: “You don’t want me to do it?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQjG7vPz4I
Fubuki: “I can handle it.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoLPDczunD
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tBvTgPrXU
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9fvIf38Co
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5QwWtfIy4
All Might: “Don’t worry, young Midoriya, it will be alright. Your classmates will not treat you any differently.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2fDTBDTkP
Izuku: “I-I know. Doesn’t stop my heart from racing.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6iscXtF6w
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4B3izSnS4
Izuku: ‘Not on purpose.’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1xYWlLaK4
All Might: “I’ll go check on Shinso. You cheer on your sister and prepare yourself for your next match.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrvOptXPZO
Izuku: “R-Right. Thank you, All Might.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGismZW76M
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3I3iyPFue
Mina: “Oh, Midoriya!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALvh2YoJ5i
The entire class snaps their heads towards the boy, who instantly freezes.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4IqxmeZ1R
Izuku: “H-Hey-”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiFaqy9PTO
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?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjVXtrEabj
Before Izuku could answer, Momo came to the front.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkQrXvq9Ib
Momo: “Midoriya, you don’t have to answer if you don’t feel comfortable. We trust you.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZdZWuiLaN
Uraraka: “Yeah! But we would still like to know.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVujLuvnHi9
Denki: “For curiosity’s sake.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZssCByV4aD
Izuku: “T-Thanks e-everyone. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what I know.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88v9PlJ0bW
And so Izuku explained what he discussed with his family. After hearing the story, they all sighed in relief.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CI1Y7VqaP
Ida: “I knew you were not someone who would do something like that on purpose. I’m glad I was not wrong.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G0yX52NTC
Mina: “Yeah, looks like Bakugo was right.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst8A33zx4F
Izuku: “Kacchan?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaCLcXqsxA
Kirishima: “Yeah, he actually defended you when we were worried. Crazy, huh?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrgo2qCtGP
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeMpFGaDJp
Izuku: ‘Is he… changing?’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs3q6XqPZv
Denki: “Wait a minute!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHhyWpq1fg
Thunder Boy held his hands up before getting everyone back to what’s really important.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMqCAinfj8
Denki: “Midoriya, are you telling us you spent days training with Yaoyorozu? At her house? Alone!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssvoIU6EQH
Izuku: “Y-Yes?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPorOZDWwme
Denki: “You lucky bas-”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNZ29MNg1U
His words are cut short by a stab to the neck by Jiro’s ear jacks.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb3LfQrl0Q
Denki: “gah!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA6IaYCsUx
Jiro: “Idiot.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nYPvF8ZPj
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jKdzsVdHB
Momo: ‘Now that Kaminari mentioned it, that was rather bold of me. If Midoriya were a different type of boy, we may have-’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmMatCTHKj
Tokoyami: “The next match is starting.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9GJsEwxUo
They look at Tokoyami, who was sitting down already, prepared to view the next match.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtWayWIzt4
Kirishima: “Right! I don’t want to miss this!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA5v8wZ6N9
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGF9WpXg4X
Knowing which voice would comment, he immediately shut it down and focused on the match instead.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOGSWNNYlN
Izuku: ‘Good luck, Kiri. I know you can do this.’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeCkYPHgpS
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCuEj5bhK1
Present Mic: “And here we are, folks, MATCH THREE!! Will this one be just as brief as the last two? Let’s find out!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECgkBKxTaR
Kiri steps to the stage and faces her opponent, Aoi Nogami.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb9m0UC1b8
Present Mic: “On one side, we have the silent and incredibly strong girl from the department of heroics, class 1-A, Kiri Tae!!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHOom5gD7n
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!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUUw2noNaP
Aoi: “Sad to say, this match will be quick too.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtefu8S4KIX
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA7SHcZfiA
Kiri didn’t respond; she got into a fighting position and readied herself.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pAlAuu8zQ
Kiri: ‘Onii, watch me!’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOwpDcMLNn
Present Mic: “START!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l7rM5t9Ej
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwKWM0WyE1
Present Mic: “Oh, will we have a real fight here, folks!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrbjylyej3
If Kiri could sweat, she would be drenched. She tightens her stance and narrows her gaze.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRGQA1eKr3
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto4h9O97WY
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdBUF8kByR
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGQn9r0L22
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!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJSPngO4cb
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvnYtyztIG
But clearly, Kiri was a physical powerhouse as well.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqi05dpVF5
Aoi: ‘Oh, well. Here goes nothing.’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAuDIVRlKr
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa9hY9qXoR
So she goes on the offensive, dashing forward with fist raised, ready to knock the girl out.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNPoM4udX7
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3dCEOGNW2
But before the blow landed, both her and the stage disappeared.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMx7L6F744
Everyone: “HUUUUUH!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6hwWABzQ7
Present Mic: “S-S-She teleported the entire stage high into the sky!!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFblZXzN4E
Kiri’s eyes widen as she sees the green grass feet away. She was… going to lose?
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTYSXwj7Ax
Kiri: ‘No!’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasceU4WB9q
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wDsEp0udl
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFqnEUVVmV
But aside from her body, what else is she always touching but never uses telekinesis on?
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww9QVa9Uat
Kiri: “SMAASH!!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBSu3GynZZ
Air.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO6Fg7IZik
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!
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t6uNwy2Lp
She shot straight through the stage, shattering it into several large pieces.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXHiH7Qiya
Aoi: “Shoot!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHujuNaMmZ
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg2Tgv4Nk5
Present Mic: “Thank you, Tornado, for saving the spectators and Midnight!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVikkgahKV
Tatsumaki nods before sitting back down to watch the conclusion of this surprising match.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1q6sdh3sN
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!!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O0Rj3Oz32
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cj94PusAT
Seeing an opening, Kiri kicks off the air and tackles Aoi.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwCIW4N5UO
Aoi: “Ugh!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw9vnlYSiL
They’re both quickly heading to a meeting with the hard ground.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyGCpBGbVM
Seeing this, Aoi teleports back up. But Kiri is still stuck to her like glue. This was it, the dead end.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonrKszVjgW
She could keep teleporting, but Kiri wouldn’t let go, and Aoi can’t break out of the hold.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZd6h9Pwxw
Kiri: “Give. Up.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJaZanOu9I
Aoi closes her eyes and sighs.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ocP3OCcJ9
Aoi: “Okay, you win.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYyxZPthGf
With one last teleport, the two appear, standing on the grass.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPpCocUvrZ
Aoi: “I give.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqns9eFUpz1
Midnight: “N-Nogami surrenders! Tae advances to round two!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2yLQBvPgi
With the results in, Kiri lets go of Aoi.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbvJWPkC3m
Aoi: “Man, you have a tight grip. Thanks for the match.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRkqksjZKf
Aoi holds out her hand, and Kiri smiles before taking it.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdgJnT8WHr
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs47YfgTwu
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRsOXeOIqu
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx9qVLqew8
Denki: “You want to fight that?!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU9aaSGRF3
Kirishima nervously chuckles.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPScqUZT1k
Kirishima: “I have a long way to go. But yeah, I still want to show how far I’ve come as a fighter.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HwX0YvKgd
Denki: “Bro, are you an M?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGARcmvFrse
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9g9Pk718M
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGxb4mjMsk
Izuku: ‘I know you’re strong, Kiri. But… ’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiNpggu3Ao
He shakes the depressing thoughts away. This is a festival, right? Everyone should be having fun.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXpMQsa4Fr
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-’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNpU6tVTFa
Good thing Izuku always has a notebook at the ready, because his mind is finally focused on something fun. Quirk analysis.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiXJMPuVta
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqIgyBdvnT
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeHXCrvcSj
His eyes flutter open, releasing a soft purple and gold glow. But before anyone could notice, it settled back into its normal state.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFHrKkKVyN
But despite outward appearances, his eyes were different. They were better. All his senses were better. The world looked and felt different.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaheAhTzQc
He was different. But why and how?
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67F2TkvcGT
Shinso was finally awake, and he needed answers.
