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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31K9LsAcNF
It felt similar to when she lost control before, but different enough to make her even more worried.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkpwpZ0Jek
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWQeMTXkO3
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi7wL4SiyD
Inko: “Sweetie, what… happened?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxNFOykuQf
Izuku said nothing.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pBPw9wkiB
All Might: “You’re not in trouble, young Midoriya; we’re just worried.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9fzku0uXb
Izuku: “I know.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiiKztDEGC
Tatsumaki: “Izu, does this have anything to do with what we talked about?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTfps4OYHB
His eyes widen a little before settling back to normal.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wIfccY2YX
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?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbj219YxlZ
Izuku: “I didn’t mean to.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbPMQXYJ3f
Inko: “We know, sweetie. We know you would never do something like… that… on purpose.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw4suctbxO
Izuku: “… All I remember is going unconscious for a second, and the next, he was screaming. I don’t… know what happened.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4nZLjNXuT
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj001jRS4Y
Fubuki: “Let’s think about this from another angle. All Might, what quirk does Shinso have?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoh0G9aD4q
All Might: “Hmmmm, from what I remember, he has the ability to brainwash people.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0nS1rWNp9
Fubuki: “That’s… disturbing.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIB6ZwwHXq
Tatsumaki: “I think I know what happened.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgmKPp1zns
Izuku: “Y-You do?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNVGLqMZvk
Tatsumaki: “I thought I sensed another psychic signature. It was weak, but there.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOE7hONSOe
Fubuki: “So Shinso has a quirk related to ours?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVGwPdqN4p
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but instead of telekinesis, he focuses on mental attacks.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfi0i9iZWn
Fubuki: ‘I guess that makes sense. Wait, doesn’t that mean I could do that eventually?’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg8SRkNvM6
Inko: “But what does that have to do with Izuku?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCgFvEnqnz
Tatsumaki: “Well, I guess Izu’s mind instinctively defended itself.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfSMmcUENx
Kiri could see Izuku’s shoulder lose some tension. They were on the right track.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHvwhEx1qj
Inko: “I see! See, sweetie, it’s not your fault.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgb5T1hhgT
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.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6zFKi9IXL
Izuku: “I’ll… try. I-I’ve already been practicing telepathy with Yaoyorozu.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhGjInFU9P
Fubuki: “Really?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XKNlGFAew
Tatsumaki: “That might have been what allowed your mind to fight back like that. More practice could help you have more control.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOqd4V9efe
Izuku: “I… suppose.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOEhAGGXYc
Fubuki: “I can help teach him.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeAOsPJH5s
Tatsumaki: “You? How?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfekGy3Kfvm
Fubuki: “Well… I’ve been recently… learning how to read minds.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFziE3a7RP
They all look at Fubuki with wide eyes full of surprise.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodAYLax3Bo
Tatsumaki: “You can do that!? Why didn’t you tell me?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2feDkJ90wp
Fubuki crossed her arms and looked away.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9wUx2gYy8
Fubuki: “I didn’t want to until I mastered it. You always said I should train harder; well, I found time.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggfBYgK8TP
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBztwHOF0I7
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.’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbCMO9IZAu
A trick or ability Tatsumaki would master in just a few moments.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypJ9uDXYLB
Tatsumaki: ‘Ah…’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu11doy72QL
Before that realization could sink in, Fubuki continued.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwX8dJUPg6
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.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwU4q1ZzLB
Izuku: “… Okay. Thanks, Fubu.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsutGqZEre
Fubuki: “Anytime.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6F4aVsqRm
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.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjmmNoOoWY
Izuku: “They might still be scared.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTAb7M9X9z
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.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZP2OqohcZ
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, thanks everyone.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfcZnhgIBb
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND4vcWn0qy
Tatsumaki: “You have an impressive classmate, Izu.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgfMLDQgOu
Inko: “W-W-What is that!?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdqRikeNdx
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG7KI7ivR1
Izuku: “Todoroki… ”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq7GSCoD9b
All Might: “He might have gone a bit overboard.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz3QtoC8y7
Kiri: “Icicle strong. Poor Smile.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdlzk0wig9
Fubuki: “Doesn’t that mean you’re up next?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7ab3nR67L
Kiri: “Ah.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIeN2iwUBL
Inko: “That’s right! Good luck, sweetie!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2a7Qx0FbK
Kiri: “Ih.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWVJeiaxrU
Kiri grabs Izuku’s hand and helps him up.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp4CKuosOf
Kiri: “Cheer for me?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgdxsywWmW
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.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKNJlPpeiG
Kiri: “… Good.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHtB6E4DKB
All Might: “I’ll walk young Midoriya to where his class is.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40DLnBZpBP
Fubuki: “I’ll help melt the ice.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBFTXseWGg
Tatsumaki: “You don’t want me to do it?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q6UpDgZg0
Fubuki: “I can handle it.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMtBIHNEGn
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO07YD0Y0I
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3JLHL6jE0
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU861056iF
All Might: “Don’t worry, young Midoriya, it will be alright. Your classmates will not treat you any differently.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyuraAoybh
Izuku: “I-I know. Doesn’t stop my heart from racing.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOssSUM6pE
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.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXZpiLbw9L
Izuku: ‘Not on purpose.’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXZdCgf1o8
All Might: “I’ll go check on Shinso. You cheer on your sister and prepare yourself for your next match.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHb5dKIMDO
Izuku: “R-Right. Thank you, All Might.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO8NC8Vln1
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymUZZNGUHb
Mina: “Oh, Midoriya!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQx0ovEguf
The entire class snaps their heads towards the boy, who instantly freezes.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf54IJzWpmJ
Izuku: “H-Hey-”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNONtGZxUhL
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?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvIJyz0qi6
Before Izuku could answer, Momo came to the front.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDTYfWr85X
Momo: “Midoriya, you don’t have to answer if you don’t feel comfortable. We trust you.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7aovdiziN
Uraraka: “Yeah! But we would still like to know.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AKby1mtMF
Denki: “For curiosity’s sake.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VEw83314M
Izuku: “T-Thanks e-everyone. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what I know.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykNtQ62X5m
And so Izuku explained what he discussed with his family. After hearing the story, they all sighed in relief.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT4QFNFdII
Ida: “I knew you were not someone who would do something like that on purpose. I’m glad I was not wrong.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBWOCrl1JM
Mina: “Yeah, looks like Bakugo was right.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIUYxJzS4R
Izuku: “Kacchan?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUeSeBhmCZ
Kirishima: “Yeah, he actually defended you when we were worried. Crazy, huh?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOjWpaGJ56
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W78EXXxyI
Izuku: ‘Is he… changing?’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtzkWd7486
Denki: “Wait a minute!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjyKC8KQR1
Thunder Boy held his hands up before getting everyone back to what’s really important.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzslGlJGWc
Denki: “Midoriya, are you telling us you spent days training with Yaoyorozu? At her house? Alone!?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSAc82LoaZ
Izuku: “Y-Yes?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlMS7Wdrx3
Denki: “You lucky bas-”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBKFe8sJLS
His words are cut short by a stab to the neck by Jiro’s ear jacks.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd8nNictlz
Denki: “gah!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntWyR885c2
Jiro: “Idiot.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvlO2herpd
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7YLUPHO5i
Momo: ‘Now that Kaminari mentioned it, that was rather bold of me. If Midoriya were a different type of boy, we may have-’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhc3mGcYgo
Tokoyami: “The next match is starting.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY4b4lqP59
They look at Tokoyami, who was sitting down already, prepared to view the next match.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B24rRi4No
Kirishima: “Right! I don’t want to miss this!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qz6WmnI6d
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPxDAkfoqK
Knowing which voice would comment, he immediately shut it down and focused on the match instead.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ8DrOa7jO
Izuku: ‘Good luck, Kiri. I know you can do this.’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSl1YFyouj
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYVzwkTnVW
Present Mic: “And here we are, folks, MATCH THREE!! Will this one be just as brief as the last two? Let’s find out!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFXAtN1tMt
Kiri steps to the stage and faces her opponent, Aoi Nogami.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡactn4fBwG8
Present Mic: “On one side, we have the silent and incredibly strong girl from the department of heroics, class 1-A, Kiri Tae!!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ1XHGKlYH
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!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oozltx5s9
Aoi: “Sad to say, this match will be quick too.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGF7z8h8Ff
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY!?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3x4EXzNG5
Kiri didn’t respond; she got into a fighting position and readied herself.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksrprnDYLP
Kiri: ‘Onii, watch me!’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aAMT9uau8
Present Mic: “START!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhWLD0TkNf
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZLuDe4jJh
Present Mic: “Oh, will we have a real fight here, folks!?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnntKrW6MW
If Kiri could sweat, she would be drenched. She tightens her stance and narrows her gaze.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU0IKBWZAt
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.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs5vyhtsij
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHfysiWtGb
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdYUHtnxtX
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!?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCPijZcpZ8
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mAvGS2TLk
But clearly, Kiri was a physical powerhouse as well.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooF5gXsRWv
Aoi: ‘Oh, well. Here goes nothing.’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LN2fWopLx
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoooNoU9R4c
So she goes on the offensive, dashing forward with fist raised, ready to knock the girl out.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2r3LVmxQ9
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRov7OMEcVq
But before the blow landed, both her and the stage disappeared.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy1rvaFTGz
Everyone: “HUUUUUH!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMFKRpz084
Present Mic: “S-S-She teleported the entire stage high into the sky!!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBPuP1CiqP
Kiri’s eyes widen as she sees the green grass feet away. She was… going to lose?
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W3AOE37ZV
Kiri: ‘No!’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfrIFhsYgg
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtHwbkbN7f
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGGZyroAHX
But aside from her body, what else is she always touching but never uses telekinesis on?
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFdKWbSUyw
Kiri: “SMAASH!!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDxASivZIF
Air.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXcCOHJvdh
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!
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaruieFHyuO
She shot straight through the stage, shattering it into several large pieces.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdNvTWPbNv
Aoi: “Shoot!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKnDNa7my0
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3YqsrKj0F
Present Mic: “Thank you, Tornado, for saving the spectators and Midnight!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxAiyJKOcG
Tatsumaki nods before sitting back down to watch the conclusion of this surprising match.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCUY0ak6oF
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!!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbjwp8GcQA
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78lpC6tF3b
Seeing an opening, Kiri kicks off the air and tackles Aoi.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnm1lMMfs9
Aoi: “Ugh!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoBO2l5nSk
They’re both quickly heading to a meeting with the hard ground.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTODwBFech
Seeing this, Aoi teleports back up. But Kiri is still stuck to her like glue. This was it, the dead end.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15QTp71qJE
She could keep teleporting, but Kiri wouldn’t let go, and Aoi can’t break out of the hold.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcit59yodC
Kiri: “Give. Up.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK6LQPeTGV
Aoi closes her eyes and sighs.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2VpZfn6Rm
Aoi: “Okay, you win.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJu3MsEeZF
With one last teleport, the two appear, standing on the grass.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFp2XLEdma
Aoi: “I give.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgLnHtWSlJ
Midnight: “N-Nogami surrenders! Tae advances to round two!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7jgajm7kp
With the results in, Kiri lets go of Aoi.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfv952pUQS
Aoi: “Man, you have a tight grip. Thanks for the match.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmHwRCzKD7
Aoi holds out her hand, and Kiri smiles before taking it.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8bCjfHKUH
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.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPcIb6qyaY
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vrEzjGCIH
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5LHfHIEdi
Denki: “You want to fight that?!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboqrsZsTKW
Kirishima nervously chuckles.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstyQFqWubI
Kirishima: “I have a long way to go. But yeah, I still want to show how far I’ve come as a fighter.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5zISP4AB1
Denki: “Bro, are you an M?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuqZCMBq8A
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJX6Nh4O5c
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.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8UDMfKSGt
Izuku: ‘I know you’re strong, Kiri. But… ’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkB51Ist1p
He shakes the depressing thoughts away. This is a festival, right? Everyone should be having fun.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBG2OWrl9K
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-’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBhW2JY5rg
Good thing Izuku always has a notebook at the ready, because his mind is finally focused on something fun. Quirk analysis.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNweZwYvxHs
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowQJHpjeJH
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGgBOuyqso
His eyes flutter open, releasing a soft purple and gold glow. But before anyone could notice, it settled back into its normal state.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYvn1JarnG
But despite outward appearances, his eyes were different. They were better. All his senses were better. The world looked and felt different.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb422DN7vQ
He was different. But why and how?
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1kQWPhJX5
Shinso was finally awake, and he needed answers.
