Present Mic: “Now comes the fourth match up! Kaminari from class 1-A vs Shiozaki from class 1-B!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAHonP1o6b3M
3 seconds later.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAdXwlYsSck3
Present Mic: “And it’s over in a flash!! I’ll say it again, folks!! It’s done, finished. Fastest match yet. Shiozaki advances to the second round!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA7kIPAON2Q5
The winner said nothing, instead, she looked up at Izuku in the stands with a glare. What she felt in that first match was anything but pure. It felt… demonic.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAM7xdpSHQbf
However, Izuku was lost in his own world right now.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAuoSXdnN5h7
Izuku: “That ability of hers is amazing. It wrapped and bound Kaminari, basically sealing his quirk. She had the advantage, but if he had played his cards right, he could’ve righted himself. But instead he panicked and fired off all his juice…”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAZBPXrKALm7
Kiri smiles as Izuku starts mumbling about quirks. It’s been a while. It would be better if it was just them, though. But no, Uraraka and Momo wanted to sit around him as well.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAF1kQbKDtw3
Momo: “Uh, Midoriya?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAoohnIxBNsR
Izuku: “H-Huh!? S-Sorry!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANATp8vBJrSD0
Kiri: “Don’t. It’s cute.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANATFzAMSV8sz
Izuku: “C-Cute!?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAimZSttYhhK
Uraraka: “Hahaha! It only just ended, and you’re already forming counter-strategies based on how you see it playing out?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAUaco9fgyrt
Izuku: “W-Well, I-I… it’s what I like to do. It’s fun! I even compiled tons of notes on everyone in Class A! That includes your zero gravity, too, Uraraka!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAY4J3fHpfb9
Uraraka: “R-Really!?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA0hLt3ydj4k
Momo: “I even took a look at it while we were training. It’s quite detailed and a great source of inspiration.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANATeLnjWP4HW
Uraraka: “I see… you’re really incredible, Midoriya. I’m happy to see you’re having fun again. I was worried.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAxgN980pBaW
Izuku’s face darkens for a moment before lighting back up when the next match is announced.
30Please respect copyright.PENANArhAwBKUbtv
Present Mic: “All right, here comes the next matchup! Sprint to the top!! His coming across like a center fielder!? It’s Ida Tenya, of the department of heroic class 1-A!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAAUigvc0zfA
VERSUS!
30Please respect copyright.PENANAAwiYlm6RAG
Present Mic: “She who is fully decked in support gear!! Hatsume Mei, of the department of support.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAFd017qlPTw
Izuku: “Why do I have a bad feeling?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAiuavKq4j0T
His feeling was right. Mei played Ida throughout that whole match, just to sell her products. At least she decided to bow out of the tournament after that, because she did not deserve that victory.
30Please respect copyright.PENANASCY4wE4jrt
Momo: “How shameless.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAKA5L0qrniD
Kiri: “Nh.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANApJfvhly8p2
Izuku: “There’s no doubt she saw how super earnest Ida is and fed him a nice-sounding line so she could take him for a ride. She’s not really that frank or honest; she’s actually the type who’ll do whatever it takes to accomplish her goals.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAhmmluYSG5S
Uraraka: “Uh… I’m going to the waiting room for a sec; I’ll be back.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAnhqhvy9vxX
Uraraka got up and left the group with an unreadable expression. One that worried Izuku, it almost reminded him of how he could be.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA1XAMxsqWOM
Momo: “You can check on her if you want.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAaYLB6hMvzn
Izuku: “Huh?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAS2ugJjozdM
Kiri’s eyes widen at Momo’s suggestion. Why would she want Izu to follow some other girl? Didn’t she also…
30Please respect copyright.PENANAwLIsj4Q3Bn
Momo: “Something is clearly bothering her. I’m sure she could use a friend to talk to. Don’t worry, we’ll tell you how the matches went. Right, Tae?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA7jkYc2npmN
Kiri: “… Nh.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAUEwsv3b7T0
Izuku: “Thanks. I’ll be right back.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAutkieRW9SC
The esper hurried and made his way to where Uraraka was. Meanwhile, Momo and Kiri turned back to the stage in silence.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA67DabNU73s
Kiri wanted to ask a question, but she didn’t really know how to word it. So instead, she avoided it altogether and focused on the next match. One that might be interesting.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAQqFqOYbruD
30Please respect copyright.PENANAaBZJt6CUIT
Present Mic: “These matches are going by quick! Will the next one be any different?!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANANwnemUBVJp
Jiro: ‘I hope not.’
30Please respect copyright.PENANAzV06nZUv9s
Present Mic: “In one corner, the one who managed to get her hands on a sci-fi-looking blaster, Kyoka Jiro from class 1-A!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAdMZk5L3h9J
Jiro adjusted her wrist blaster and hoped it worked as well as she imagined.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAztQy8dSg93
Present Mic: “And her opponent! The girl who dazzles with her athletics and unique color, Mina Ashido from class 1-A!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAt5yKQ1m7jd
Mina: “Hehe, time for some payback. I won’t fall for the same trick again.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAvpRQFxMx7Q
Jiro: “That means I need to think of some new tricks.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANARBl50HCD0Q
Present Mic: “Ready?!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAtiQQw7OKsz
Mina lowers her stance, preparing to go full throttle from the start. Jiro gets her blaster ready to fire as her eyes narrow.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAL7Q0IcUlZF
Present Mic: “Start!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAlIYHCbJAWH
Jiro fires the blaster, sending the sound of her heart through it. The result? A thin sound wave aimed right at Mina. But seeing that coming from a mile away, Mina was already jumping before the trigger was fired.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAXOKhehJWse
Mina vaulted over the attack and skated towards Jiro using acid slide. But Jiro quickly aimed the blaster again and fired. Once again, Mina was able to dodge by going to the side.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAf32BwxPI85
Jiro: ‘Shoot! She’s still getting closer.’
30Please respect copyright.PENANAINoleaKSRq
The rocker girl started moving around while firing the blaster, keeping Mina at bay.
30Please respect copyright.PENANACrX3HNxdYh
Jiro: “You can’t dodge forever!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAWRP3373uzp
Mina: “You can’t run forever either!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAuiqNWwFHST
Jiro: “I’ll get lucky before I get tired.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAJpbqcAfvFj
But why take that chance? Something they both thought. Mina, after dodging, threw a ball of acid she was generating at Jiro. With little choice, she had to stop firing and instead dodge.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAtqAPorBoHO
This gave Mina time to get closer, but she didn’t stop slinging acid. Instead of balls, though, these were just strings of stinging pain.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAUIjWq2k7W3
Not wanting to experience acid burns, Jiro kept on the move and took pot shots every now and then.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAqcolbYn1oG
Present Mic: “Well, would you look at this, folks! We have ourselves an actual shootout!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA5y2uw6VANk
At this rate, Jiro was going to lose. Mina was too athletic and had no problem dodging. While for Jiro, it was a bit harder to dodge the acid, and her footing was slipping.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAsaw0lYg3U0
Jiro: ‘I won’t win without taking some risks and pain. And I refuse to lose here!’
30Please respect copyright.PENANAdfaJtPlIBU
The rocker stopped dodging and charged at Mina. The alien girl had no problem with this and met the charge head-on.
30Please respect copyright.PENANApbvzBif3LR
Mina: “Handing me the victory? Thanks, Jiro!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAEUIzMzquJE
Mina slung some more acid, expecting Jiro to dodge again. But instead, Jiro blocked it with her forearms. It lightly burned through the clothes and a bit of skin. The girl hissed in pain, but it was manageable.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAByeD6INFbB
Jiro: “Don’t thank me just yet!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAcbZ5bSi1bL
Countering, she attacked with her free earjack, and as expected, Mina caught it easily. But that second of halted movement was enough to fire another shot, this one too close to dodge.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAdi1AkVkxay
A thin and piercing sound wave hammered into Mina’s stomach. The unexpected amount of pain was enough to force Mina to let go of the earjack and kneel over.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAocaqdivzod
Seeing her chance, Jiro tackled Mina to the ground and grappled her into submission.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAG4iLjFaTlr
Mina: “M-M-My w-w-whole b-b-body i-i-s s-s-shaking. I… t-think I-I’m g-g-going t-t-to b-be s-s-sick.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAghPxS9PfKN
Jiro: “Give up, and I’ll help you to Recovery Girl.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAzdkjTpCzh2
Mina: “I-I-I g-g-give u-up!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANARMDozZybgI
Midnight: “Ashido surrenders! Jiro advances to round two!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAnID3nGgGRA
Jiro looks up at Momo, who was smiling and clapping for her victory. The rocker girl smiled back while helping Mina to her feet.
30Please respect copyright.PENANARy52E49VJn
Mina: “T-Thank you.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAiacrmkC2lA
Jiro: “No problem. Sorry though, I didn’t know the blaster would make you sick.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANATDlQvXdYiJ
Mina: “I-It’s fine… a-all’s f-fair… ”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAxAdIpQdT3d
Jiro looked down at the wrist blaster and frowned a bit.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAN5NmwXvtf3
Jiro: ‘This thing was stronger than I thought. I have to be careful with it from now on.’
30Please respect copyright.PENANAFTjYfjVJiu
After 15 or so minutes, the duo made it to Recovery Girl. But something was wrong; she looked… pale. She wasn’t the only one. Some skeletal-looking man was there too, rubbing the back of Recovery Girl. It was All Might, but these girls didn’t know that.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAbfxRGj9SQn
Jiro: “Is she okay?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA56kvUjMhhh
All Might: “It would seem so. I found her like this.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAk09oCTN4PZ
Recovery Girl: “I-I said I’m fine. I’m just… deep in thought. What’s wrong?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA2j8gvWnqA5
Jiro: “She has nausea, and I have some acid burns.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAWAv0FwjugC
Recovery Girl: “That’s normal. Lay her down.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAb1Rnz6OeZc
Jiro does so, and Mina relaxes on the soft bed, her face a mix of discomfort and relief. Recovery Girl then kissed Jiro’s arm, healing the light burns. Seeing that everything is all right, All Might leaves.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAuyWL1VxK0l
He doesn’t know exactly where Shinso is, but Recovery Girl said he is fine and doesn’t remember anything from his match with Izuku.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAwoNnr4Sjtu
A shame, but there is not much else he can do.
30Please respect copyright.PENANALt9x8bqTfh
Jiro: “Thank you.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAjq952NdYJc
Jiro takes a seat and once again notices that Recovery Girl looks off.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAhN5iPerzTa
Jiro: “Are you sure you’re okay?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAV1lMJr4AYq
Recovery Girl: “… I think it’s best if I keep what happened to myself. At least until I fully understand it. After that, I’ll discuss it with the pro heroes first.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAuctgpzwxDJ
Jiro: “O-Okay.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA9c4gXk4IuZ
Jiro: ‘Well… that doesn’t sound good. What could have happened?’
30Please respect copyright.PENANA7ITNFP7c1i
30Please respect copyright.PENANAUYmhhat2DK
Izuku: “S-Shinso?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAGg5YKiWLgU
The esper just wanted to check on Uraraka. Why did he have to run into the thing that he was trying to ignore?
30Please respect copyright.PENANA47Dv57rwTo
What’s worse is what Shinso looks like. He’s taller, slightly more muscular, and handsome. Like a Shinso 2.0.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAQHJiY2jWbH
But more than that, it’s what’s beneath the surface that concerns the boy. Shinso felt different; his psychic signature felt… like a growing flame. What was once an ember now felt like a contained inferno waiting for something to ignite it fully.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAfDyDGNHEOI
Shinso: “What… did you do to me?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAy2wuaYnra0
Izuku: “I-I… don’t know what you mean.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAPrlTqJA0cv
Shinso: “Yes, you do. I can tell. Answer me.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAs1zEEEdQEX
Izuku: “… I don’t know. I-It was an accident.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAODNEK5xsba
Shinso: “An… accident?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAy03Af1HV7y
Shinso’s body shakes as he comes to terms with that fact.
30Please respect copyright.PENANARoQ7XhSVvU
Shinso: “My quirk was already seen as evil, a quirk for a villain. How could you make it worse?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA7SQBIB9o64
Izuku: “W-Worse?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA6ImllPv7sg
Shinso: “… My quirk is brainwash. I used to be only able to use it if someone answered a question of mine. Now… that limitation is gone.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAJnhYGaM2FD
Izuku: “W-What? How?!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAUPrTaVMDyt
Shinso: “When I woke up, I desperately wanted answers to what happened. The questions from Recovery Girl, ones I couldn’t answer, only confused me more. So I told her to stop. And she did. Everything.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAkRDT2QTnRs
Izuku paled at the implications.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA2ngWxAnidf
Shinso: “She stopped breathing because I told her to stop without being specific. If I didn’t cancel the command…”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA3wMKp9LM4P
Izuku: “I’m-”
30Please respect copyright.PENANARSlEK1DNRi
Shinso: “Don’t. I don’t want to hear it. I just wanted to know why. But now… I know. It was an accident; my life was ruined because of chance.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAf2q2fXZhCi
Izuku: “N-No! This doesn’t have to be a curse! It’s how you use your quirk that’s important. Y-You can still be a hero.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAYtsSYUu8jg
Shinso scoffs at Izuku’s words.
30Please respect copyright.PENANALvSNJ1OpS6
Shinso: “Easy for you to say. Someone blessed with a powerful quirk like yours.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANATjCOBwAB3G
Izuku: “Blessed…?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAQyTDLDmFFx
Shinso: “Don’t try and say how hard it’s been. Your quirk is perfectly suited for hero work. Everyone will gloss over the darker aspects of it with time. Your sister proves as much. While mine… everyone will only see it as evil. Especially now.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANArIHFG3fosr
For a solid minute, they said nothing, just stood in the darkened atmosphere. That was until Shinso began to walk away.
30Please respect copyright.PENANANV2EFlRTSW
Shinso: “I hope to never see you again.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAsF7KbArZ9n
Izuku: ‘No…’
30Please respect copyright.PENANAwJPUaMIsXG
How could he let it end like this? How could he, of all people, ruin someone else’s chance at being a hero? So… he made a choice.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAAaQ2QXjGgy
Izuku: ‘Just this once. Please… one of you… help me to help him.’
30Please respect copyright.PENANATHavoIPycT
The multitude rejoice, as their prince has accepted his place, at least for this moment. Using the opportunity, the most suited manifested into the world through him.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAE85xSonroV
Izuku’s eyes burn bright gold as The First speaks through its prince.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA6Nlsf9kVVl
Izuku: “&*%^”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAlimgyCo60h
Shinso stops in his tracks; he recognizes this voice. He blocked off most of what happened within Izuku’s mind, but that voice wouldn’t fade no matter what.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAobfqWlQI1F
So he turns around to see Izuku with golden eyes and a different aura.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAiZr6V6eCAV
Izuku: “&#*^.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAKknXcIDi4w
Izuku: “Wait a minute, this is not going to work.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAkbuXf6ghYP
The prince closes his eyes and listens, trying for the first time to understand what that entity was saying. After a moment, he got the general picture. He opens his eyes, and his natural green returns.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAdSFjwOQnwn
Izuku: “I-I understand.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA21BOCG9JWA
Shinso: “Seriously, what are you?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAgJmIiduyEV
Izuku: “… I don’t know anymore. It’s complicated. But… I know what happened to you and how you can control it.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAZpk4egWzxc
Shinso: “… How?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAwhpykQRDnC
Izuku: “T-The First… choose you as its… child? The real word is confusing.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAKjwk3zvcO2
Shinso: “Child?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAsmHZAWku6k
Izuku: “Your quirk is similar to it, and it thought you would make a good… hero. One to inherit its power of Authority. But in order to inherit it, it had to… change you. Otherwise, your body couldn’t handle it.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANASBiPGnh8wj
Shinso: “Huh? Look, I don’t really understand any of that. Just tell me how I can control it.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA2PQ3KZU15b
Izuku: “W-Well, you use the prefix command to specify when you want to use your quirk. That way you don’t accidentally use your quirk like before.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANALVFAu0dNOI
Shinso: “I see… ”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAPqr3yLFKJM
Izuku: “S-See! You can still be a hero! And Authority doesn’t just extend to brainwashing or mind control. You can command inanimate objects and-”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAcxR5gg2Ee0
Shinso: “And would I explain that?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA12W5MFIre1
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAOUlZJOJUPz
Shinso: “My quirk is not like yours. It’s not something that can just grow new abilities. I already have to somehow explain this growth spurt. Face it, I’m stuck with the label society has given me.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANArFzpci2gVR
Izuku: “O-Oh… well… as for the growth spurt, you have a passive psychic field that makes it so everyone thinks it’s normal.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAbpZlVFh3uF
Shinso: “R-Really?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAJGKpvx18Cc
Izuku: “Did Recovery Girl notice your growth spurt?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAG5nMRH4lsi
Shinso: “… No. She didn’t.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAYsNEur5Kfm
Izuku: “As for your quirk gaining new abilities and how people judge it… I don’t know… ”
30Please respect copyright.PENANADtuijpUSlr
C: “Society is not something that can’t be bent in time, my prince. If they won’t accept him, make him yours.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAWr5gysVcgF
It sounds like a good idea, but for some reason… this seems like the first step to something much bigger. But if he wants to help Shinso, to be his hero, then he has no choice.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAJfO6xgsf3m
Izuku: “I-If they won’t accept the new you, Shinso, then I will.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAw21q4bMclq
Shinso: “What?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA8VIp1dv3st
Izuku: “I say you can be a hero. It doesn’t matter what anyone says. I will help you master your new quirk, and together, we’ll both be the heroes we want to be. Deal?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAx4Om0w9KwJ
Shinso looks at the boy’s outstretched hand, the same boy who did this to him. He wants to knock it aside and walk away. But despite what Shinso may say, he does want to be a hero. He doesn’t want to be labeled evil or some villain in the making.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAv26v3j3Vjo
So, with a small spark of hope in his heart, he grasps the hand.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAT6UFpJu5s2
Shinso: “Alright.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAtOZroiJPfW
And the multitude rejoices, for the first apostle has been claimed. A soft green glow emerged from their hands, and the connection was formed.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAfLeBZ77JaV
Izuku: “We’ll meet up after the festival and talk some more, okay?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA4BZTKEyA5u
Shinso: “Right, thanks, Midoriya.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAAoYgH3nLFX
Izuku nodded and let Shinso go back to wherever he was suppose to be.
30Please respect copyright.PENANARVcrQdV9Yc
Izuku: “Thank you.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAxxBjHZUHCk
C: “Of course. Now, are you ready to-”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA8zm7DdOMXY
Izuku: “No.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANANJyqPQDQrv
The voices are still as the prince employs his own Authority.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAcnwhBvouL6
Izuku: “None of this would have happened if I didn’t block you all out better. This was the only time I will allow something like this. No more. I’m done.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAY6odLVEoar
And just like that, the voices were cut off. Silence reigned in Izuku’s mind.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAjH8c7geep8
Izuku: ‘I’ll master my quirk, but not that part of it. Shinso may think his quirk is villainous, but he has no idea. That side of me… is better discarded.’
30Please respect copyright.PENANAu67Au5wy16
How else is he supposed to see that side of himself, after what The First explained to him? The details of how he broke Shinso’s entire being down to nothing and rebuilt it into something explicitly not human.
30Please respect copyright.PENANADXF5EiaH2T
Izuku: ‘And if that was required to handle just a portion of his power… what does that say about me? I have all of it and much more within me.’
30Please respect copyright.PENANAUCbMdvalOh
But worse than that was the rush when he accepted his role as prince, if just briefly. It felt similar to when he fought the Nomu. The feeling of accepting that side of his quirk is exhilarating. The power and confidence it offers is intoxicating.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAkyAF59AklH
He felt… whole. But better to be incomplete than to become some monster. Monsters can’t be heroes.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAx50iKSt40T
Izuku: ‘Never again. I’ll use only what I already have, the basics. That’s enough for me to become a hero.’
30Please respect copyright.PENANAqzOeWP7J94
With that declaration, he felt a bit more free. The burden of that power and its implication fades into background noise. Thanks to that, he suddenly remembers why he came here.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAQjrBs10RbV
Izuku: “Oh, Uraraka!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAK64zx76FxQ
30Please respect copyright.PENANAVw0j9ileRr
Present Mic: “The matchup of nearly identical quirks, Kirishima vs Tetsutetsu!! It was a full-on, close-quarters punch-up!! But who is the victor?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAkWNIhJE7Nw
Kirishima dodges another strike and counters with a mean uppercut that sends Tetsutetsu to the ground.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAxTypF99zQ9
Midnight: “Tetsutetsu is out! Kirishima advances to round two!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAgri0XuBY2s
Kirishima holds out his hand to the quickly recovering Tetsutestu.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAIxqqQFSYBN
Kirishima: “That was a fine match!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAOzsxh4GHCy
Tetsutestu: “Keh.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAI01NLhjBM5
He accepts the gesture, and the two shake hands. Kiri looks on with a smile.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAo7B3l39jWQ
Kiri: “He’s gotten better.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAlJknByd3Gr
A few minutes later, the next match was announced. Uraraka vs Bakugo.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAr8L8TjjxOx
Izuku and Ida rejoined the rest of the class in preparation for the match. Kiri glanced at Izuku and noticed how tense he was. She didn’t think it was because of the match.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAc2jUpNqlJE
Kiri: ‘Did something happen again? Why is it so hard to feel his emotions sometimes? I wish he would talk to me more.’
30Please respect copyright.PENANAUCXmOT0dFJ
While Kiri focused on her brother, the match was getting underway.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAviGoBIncir
Tsuyu: “Next match is that match… the one that’s bound to be the most upsetting.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA0192Bvkw7f
Jiro: “I feel like I might have to look away.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA4mpADnSSQB
Present Mic: “And here’s the next match! The boy who’s been somewhat famous since middle school! But that face ain’t the face of a kid on the straight and narrow! Katsuki Bakugo of class 1-A!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAVu6qgosEZG
Present Mic: “Facing him is the kid I’ll be rooting for!! Ochako Uraraka of class 1-A!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAzkzi3iOynr
The results of the match were as expected.
