Present Mic: “Welcome back, everyone, to rouuuuund twooooo!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvsVvemht6
The two boys stare each other down, knowing full well how much is riding on this match. No words were needed to convey that fact.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGYbmKliSA
Present Mic: “And we’re starting out with an exciting one! Both competitors are among the top of their class!! And the world ain’t big enough for the both of them!! Midoriya vs Todoroki!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI4J6yhzVi
Cold air whipped around while Izuku’s eyes flashed green.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMCk5HZOyy
Present Mic: “Start!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlgkYmcPlj
Ice exploded out in two directions, one forward and one back. Good thinking, because Todoroki felt his body being flung back, but his ice barrier prevented a ring out.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VBAzKOgaI
As for Izuku, he didn’t break the ice but instead stopped it in its tracks. Didn’t stop the cold from seeping into his bones, though.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XV15K51lw
The boy’s mind goes through his win conditions. He knows there are many ways to win this match. Using the ice against Todoroki. Powering through or just locking his body when he gets him in his sight.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MF4Fkvohw
Heck, he could even take a page out of Nogami’s book and teleport him out.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Uct0rUtW
Izuku: ‘But that won’t solve anything.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdguMIhRhoA
So instead, Izuku decided to play the long defensive game. When another wave of ice came, he instead crushed it along with the remaining ice on the stage.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEAmgUEb29
This back-and-forth continued for a while. Neither boy seemed too interested in closing the distance. Something that was increasingly getting on Todoroki’s nerves.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Bizxaqbx
Todoroki: “Why are you on the defensive? What are you doing?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbi6XFOwhC
Changing his strategy a bit, he sends out a low field of ice before expanding it out into several spikes. Finally, this causes Izuku to go on the offensive.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWdzexS3ic
Dodging the ice spikes, Izuku goes into the sky and spots Todoroki. The next moment, he sped towards him. Seeing this, Todoroki dodges out of the way. When Izuku landed, he shattered the ice shield.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojlGHaEOMM
Thinking fast, Todoroki created another while sending a large wave of ice towards Izuku. Large enough to hopefully freeze him.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8jd665Qcl
But it was hopeless. This time, he simply teleported to the side, avoiding the attack altogether. With this new angle, Izuku’s suspicions were confirmed.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J0Y55QF2M
Izuku: “I can ask you the same thing. You’re shivering, Todoroki.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZNv3KEu47
Todoroki: “Tch.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq9asEHH50
Izuku: “Quirks are just another one of our physical functions, so there’s a limit to how much of your own generated cold you can take, isn’t there?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAKoefzf6T
Todoroki said nothing; he could only narrow his eyes as he felt the frostbite setting in.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh4lCXlibg
Izuku: “Everyone is giving everything they’ve got! They’re doing it so they can get that much closer to victory! Do you really think you can beat them, me, using only half of your power!?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfxGu9mviF
Todoroki: “Midoriya… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywWrj1VwPN
Izuku: “Stop holding back, fight me!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T2lnwtwp6
Todoroki: “… What do you think you’re doing? Did my old man pay you off? Now you’re making me mad!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6AEyQTyf5
Todoroki sends another wave of ice, one that’s much weaker than his usual.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gl8ASWfeF
Izuku: “Todoroki, I’ll show you that you can’t win or be a hero like this!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EQAs1tCPn
The ice wave rushed towards the boy, but he did nothing but close his eyes and raise his hand. As soon as the ice touched his hand, Izuku used his newest ability. Debuting it for the whole world to see.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7HFVyv1TE
Instantly, all the ice turned into water.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTJOqOzgJX
Todoroki: “Wha-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wVM3SwjP2
Present Mic: “What’s this, folks!? Izuku somehow turned all of Todoroki’s ice to water!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboXAlNH4cQ
In the stands, class 1-A is also in shock and confusion over this development.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DOMl68NgO
Mina: “What the? He can do that? How?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH5oLyAKjH
To explain, Momo decided to speak up.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXf8GCP5yp
Momo: “It’s a new ability he learned recently. It’s actually like mine; if he knows the atomic structure of something, he can change it to something else with a touch. Even destroy or strengthen the atomic bonds if he wants.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFZiRMAdqG
Uraraka: “Wow, Midoriya’s quirk is-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Jqb7ABMy
Denki: “Unfair, I agree.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqhOpBQ6jV
Uraraka: “I was going to say interesting. Does anyone else just get new abilities like that?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRiz6oTESh
Jiro: “I don’t think so. I know some quirks can give you multiple similar abilities or evolve, but this is crazy.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS0XJfAFb0
Kirishima: “So, he can: fly, teleport, move things with his mind, make shields, read minds, and now change things into other things?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjjeLt6vLN
He says while counting off his fingers.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbPNsAefgJ
Momo: “I think he can also power himself and inanimate objects up. I remember he improved the power of a cannon I made.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgqK1Bf7xg
Tokoyami: “The Psi-sword as well.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwUuvw2LHy
Denki: “Ridiculous!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtAa11WOFT
Mina: “I’m so jealous! I wish my quirk could do different things. Like, what if I could make acid animals or something?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajt9gsj5c9
Momo can’t help but feel a bit of the same. But she now knows the mental downsides and control problems his quirk brings. However, with that memory came the memory of the kiss.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn69WChOVro
Momo: ‘Stupid! Why did I do that?’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmekQ7VRXm
As for Bakugo, he scowls as his rival continues to outpace him. He looks at his hand and wonders if there is more to his quirk as well. Something to think about.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9LVdV1bef
Kirishima: “I wonder if he’s hiding anything else. Hey, Tae, is Midoriya-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ9zyROvdU
It was this moment, that Kirishima and the rest of the class noticed that Kiri was gone.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCICOJ8D6Ge
Ida: “Mmmm, I don’t see her either.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5y95eLUfP
Uraraka: “She wouldn’t miss Midoriya’s match.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKJuamANZm
While they worry about Kiri’s location, the match below continues.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceomqeUKzt
Izuku: “The power of your ice is weakening! If you were at your best, I may not have been able to transmute all of it.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav743geCOf
Todoroki is at a loss. Any ice he creates now will just be turned into water. Is there no hope?
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt30y8v5qs
Todoroki: “Why are you… doing this?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2MUuttMSP
Izuku: “Because that’s what a hero does; they help people.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m3vDtGrAG
Todoroki: “I don’t need-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlRuWElAA5
Izuku: “Yes, you do! Todoroki, I can’t even begin to understand your circumstances or your resolution, but I know two things. You will never be able to become a hero if you don’t use your full strength! And weakening yourself just to disavow your father is foolish!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW566hW62Hm
Todoroki: “Shut up… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh2QDaavZV
The cold air starts to bite even harder, but Izuku didn’t stop.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwJRYFnzC7
Izuku: “Make me!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFsE6GnjiH
Izuku teleported in front of Todoroki and delivered a devastating gut punch that nearly rang the boy out.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvCAcIWvv3
Todoroki coughed before forcing himself back up. He can’t lose like this. Not to him.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmAbcQZR1G
Todoroki: “My father… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOduYXTCQH
Izuku: “It’s yours! It’s your power!! Use it!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAMkxftw3N
His eyes widen as memories of those warm times with his mother flood his mind.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHZ0ZIhuag
“It’s okay, Shouto, you… you aren’t a slave to your blood. You can become the man you want to be.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdPnmnzyEa
Assured by his past, Shouto ignites!
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwY7CF8OLH
Present Mic: “What’s this… ?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrIVFNcgBQ
Ida: “He used it… !
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTVrQPgEaY
Uraraka: “Hot, hot!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1RHsUAJL8
All Might, hidden within the crowd, smiles as he now understands why Izuku held back so heavily.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU0kzAlm8E
All Might: ‘So you wanted to save that young Todoroki? Truly, you’ll make a great hero, Midoriya.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcCc0aJu9q
Todoroki: “…Fine. If you wanted me at my best, you got it. I will be a hero, Midoriya!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ubCocdtip
Izuku smiles, a mix of happiness and… excitement.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgjrm6BEAY
Izuku: “That’s what I want to hear.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtTyumxBGs
The two were in their own world; they didn’t hear or care about Endeavor’s distant ramblings. They were focused on this last clash.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2a9HWKX65
Todoroki charged up both his ice and fire, preparing his ultimate move.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPci0jyxArX
While Izuku floated up and quickly charged a Psi Explosion between his hands.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3iaBB1hDx
Fully ready, Todoroki unleashed a massive wave of ice towards Izuku. The esper easily floated over the ice field and headed towards the flaming Todoroki with his ultimate move still primed.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLQOGkMQfP
Fearing an explosion of epic proportions, Cementos quickly created a barrier around the stage.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTLTGvhFea
Todoroki: “Midoriya… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGOgCfZ0U7
Closing in, Todoroki lifted his hand while Izuku did a backward flip before unleashing his attack.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdiUfnRXXV
Todoroki: “Thank you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gTdmUoLJC
BOOOOM!
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgffRyhFEl
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1K0cxtMMO
“I’m sorry! I’m sor-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSElfcWtF3
Kiri crushed the skull of the strange talking crab quirk beast. She ignored the shell shocked bystanders.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRxTnDptZc
Kiri: ‘I feel… a bit better.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKdlOwqyO1
It’s not like she can’t get her onii-chan back. She is still the closest person to him, and she’s sure she’s the only person Izu can go all out for. The only person that can handle all of him, help him through his struggles.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE1LpWMEqI
Kiri: ‘Udders can’t do that. Too weak.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcKVjyE5J0
After thinking that, she hears a large explosion in the distance. One in the direction of the stadium.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVFYv96IFJ
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOy2cCFSOZ
She knows he won. He wouldn’t lose against Icicle.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ0LahABgF
Kiri: ‘I’m up next.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aH3nwAm6t
Knowing that, she quickly left the bloody scene. The screen zooms out to show several more quirk beast corpses lying across the street.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt0juGQgwU
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1132agv0Y5
Cementos: “Sure, they’re powerful… but that’s just ridiculous.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cec7AkDIZ
Present Mic: “What the heck! What is up with Aizawa’s class!?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxt1uNRiMQ
Hot air and smoke filled the arena, preventing anyone from seeing the result. That was until the smoke was condensed into a ball by Tatsumaki, along with the rubble.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwc7oFjLPD
The result, though, was not too surprising.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOmzAKQ89T
Todoroki was still standing, if only barely. His shirt was torn, and he was out of breath. He looked up at Izuku, who was in a similar state.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADckSZWGAM
The esper was floating over the destroyed stage with a satisfied smile.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqxFHsBk49
Then Todoroki looked at where he was, on the grass.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi6gL2zFfN
Midnight: “Ring out! Izuku advances to Round three!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcZnhpTS7g
The crowd explodes with excitement. Tatsumaki grins at her brother’s excellent performance while Fubuki is still in awe of the destruction.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEO5OEIJdk
First Kiri, now Izuku…
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxECoht1pTW
She shakes her head of any self-doubt; it won’t help her. Heck, maybe she could learn how Izuku melted the water while she helps him with his mental abilities.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKemdLuqMrW
Fubuki: ‘I… can still grow.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehzM4Vn2lt
Todoroki breathes a sigh, accepting his defeat. Because in the end, it didn’t matter. He got something far more precious out of this. He walked away while Izuku teleported back to his class.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g8PWUsYsk
Present Mic: “Stay tuned, folks! Don’t go anywhere, unless you want to miss another explosive fight like this! Right now, though, we have to fix the stage… again.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSILLUviOx
While in the halls, Todoroki runs into his father.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIIqhg8LVv
Endeavor: “What? Not going to tell me I’m in the way?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3XKCP0fiU
Todoroki only stared at the man. No, he looked past him. Like he wasn’t even there.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1JNs0mres
Endeavor: “Although you lost, at least you finally stopped throwing that childish tantrum. Now, you may finally grow into my perfect masterpiece and crush that Midoriya boy the next time you face him!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfOSIgUfCv
Todoroki: “… I haven’t rescinded my disavowal of you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMzUCQN9v3
Endeavor: “… What?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQjsCfNFZb
Todoroki: “See, I’m not exactly easy to win over. In that battle, in that instant, I completely forgot about you. I don’t know if it’s good, bad, or if it’s even the right thing to do. I’ll think about it a little.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy2WdIz1tg
And with that, he moves past his father and takes the reins of his life again.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYxWcClO01
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWInH9kSL1U
Izuku: “Kiri is gone?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy18klqTod1
Kirishima: “Yeah, man, we haven’t seen her!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpdphzdl1M
Izuku: “Hmmm.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKACRTJEdq
Izuku: “Tatsu, is Kiri there with you?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1byyv5k98
Tatsumaki: “No, why? Also, mom and Fubu says you did great.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBekZXWRso
Izuku: “Tell them I said thanks. As for Kiri, she’s not here.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wru99F1BX
After a moment, Tatsumaki gives him an answer.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UPqHQeynD
Tatsumaki: “I sense her; she’s coming back. Apparently, she went outside.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugm83RDAF1
Izuku: ‘Outside? Why?’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflfCLhtYth
Before the two could discuss further, the next match was about to start. The stage was fixed, and the rubble was cleared. It was time.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3yOtieumy
Present Mic: “Welcome back!! Here comes the second match of round two! Shiozaki vs Tae! Will this match be just as exciting as the previous one!?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK31jRI3yKi
Shiozaki was already in the ring, but there was still no sign of Kiri.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOItiHtufw
Kirishima: “Where is she?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh6p1OqJEo
Izuku: “Tatsu said she was outside for some reason. She’s coming back, though.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccautkkrfp
Uraraka: “I hope she makes it.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdefafyGzlt
Denki: “What a way to go, being late.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pDMBWsvJT
Thankfully, Kiri dashed out of the corridor after a few seconds.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn30V3U8WUB
Present Mic: “And the latecomer has finally arrived!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9qJSIRXkl
Kiri looks up at Izuku and immediately stiffens when she sees Momo sitting next to him.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kz5N3kO29
Kirishima: “Yeah, go Tae!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0lg4dlz2U
Everyone else didn’t notice the change of expression, but Izuku did.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzFeBRp9C3
Izuku: “What’s wrong?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSd6TlngSd
Kiri: “… Nothing.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pg6GDdINd
That was a lie, but he could investigate it later. He shouldn’t distract her.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxYBVqb1oL
Present Mic: “Now that everyone is present, let’s get started!! Ready!? START!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefDsHUNXLE
Instantly, Kiri was cocooned in a vine prison.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE8FgrIyCL
Kirishima: “Wha-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6WWl23Qrf
Denki: “That’s what happened to me!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpVHJDVbBd
Izuku: “Kiri?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP46B9iamy
Present Mic: “Oh, what’s this!? Is Kiri Tae defeated already!?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQJ5yzY9dx
Tatsumaki narrows her eyes while Fubuki’s widen.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHQ5Hosv7U
There’s no way she was defeated that easily. It was impossible.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGEGa3WUzF
Indeed it was.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpcfZN5Bza
Suddenly, the vines around Kiri fall to the ground.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VN5VLhteu
Ibara: “What!?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWBGxuHHk1
Kiri falls to the ground unharmed and holding one of the vines. No matter what Ibara does, she can’t command her hair to move. It was like something was forcing them to become still.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EVTNUVjLw
With a bored expression, Kiri starts to pull all the hair to her.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YpkB9mWwR
Ibara tried to pull back, but it was no use. After a few moments of pulling in all of her hair, Kiri held the girl by the scalp and dragged her across the stage like a disobedient child.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdRNDSbEVR
Present Mic: “Yikes, I would hate for that to happen to me!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl2AnIM7v3
When at the edge of the stage, Kiri simply threw her off, vines and all.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHy5oBxJhG
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the next round!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekRl42bBLT
Present Mic: “And there you have it, folks! A short, sweet, but a bit embarrassing match!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9vrbA6DSx
Done, Kiri goes to reclaim her place beside Izu. That was until Ibara opened her mouth.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOUe649zBt
Ibara: “You’re the same as Midoriya, aren’t you?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJnU13u5PJ
Kiri looks back at the woman before she continues.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUxvCmYaSC
Ibara: “I feel the same thing I felt from him in the first match. Your actions now prove it. Where he’s malevolent, you’re cold. But in the end, you’re both… monsters.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2LxuC8BMG
The ground beneath Kiri’s feet cracks as her stare becomes nearly feral.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaXg5cUW2n
Kiri: “You. Know. Nothing.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2jeRCFxUw
Izuku: “Kiri?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9StBvJIvE
Before Kiri could do something rash, she heard her brother’s voice. Calming down, she fled the scene.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7TjtOFGJy
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjepkEKlDRn
Izuku: “Kiri, is something wrong?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflzPT0wEWW
Kiri: “No.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKPymDaiuc
He’s asked this question multiple times, and the answer was always the same. Kiri just sat next to him in a tense silence that he had never experienced with her before. Awkward was one thing; tense was way worse.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapgPU97HnN
It distracted him so much that he didn’t pay that much attention to the next match. It didn’t last long anyway.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wKXaH5Mjm
Jiro tried her best, but Ida was much faster than Mina and could close the distance better. When he did, he easily grabbed Jiro’s shirt and quickly dragged her over the ring like Kiri did to Ibara.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVuht5jdWl
Jiro: “Aw, man! If I only used the sonic blaster quicker, as soon as Ida got close.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUVgIZLd3C
Ida: “You did very well to keep me at bay, Jiro. A very respectable effort!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF4Vs29U7w
Jiro: “Still lost.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXTZhSBp6N
Momo: “Winning isn’t everything. Besides, you’re going to get even better from now on. One day, I’m sure you can beat Ida.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3NieVE2Q4
Jiro: “Really? Thanks, Momo. I’m glad you’re not letting your loss get you down either.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZYpG81djH
Momo: “Well, I had some help.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcVFoL11CW
Jiro: “I bet.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjjSXk8eNv
Momo smiled at Izuku, who returned it after hearing the conversation nearby.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKp6R3IsFd
Izuku: ‘She really took our conversation to heart.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvXfwjrVgc
And here comes the memory of the kiss. The two of them turn away, trying to hide their blush.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLFvW40kwV
Ida: “Is something wrong, Yaoyorozu?! Are you sick!?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvudk8znT7Z
Momo: “N-No.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fUg9ZLMGL
Jiro: “Relax, Ida, she’s fine. More than fine, I think.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstsagjYmbA
Momo: “K-Kyoka?!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36WD3NC8ZG
Izuku tried to ignore the conversation and turn his attention to the next match. As for Kiri, she was stone still, trying to put all of her attention on Rocky’s match.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SoyZrBoHk

As for the match, it ended as many expected. Kirishima was a much better fighter now, but he was still not on Bakugo’s level.

He still managed to get a few solid hits in, but Bakugo’s explosions were devastating and couldn’t be blocked. Bakugo was training as well, and his explosions benefited the most.

So in the end, Kirishima was overwhelmed by a barrage of mini-bombs.

Izuku: “Rocky? I thought his nickname was Rock-Man or something.”

Kiri: “Nh. He earned it. Reminds me of Rocky movie. Trains hard. I like it.”

A small smile emerged on Kiri’s face, and Izuku… didn’t like it.

Izuku: ‘But why? I’m not… j-j-jealous! Besides… what about Yaoyorozu? I have no right to be jealous! A-And of course, we’re family… sort of. I can’t… ’

The words of one of the voices echo in his head. That maybe Kiri really likes him like that. That he should go for it.

It was too much to think about right now. He shakes his head and tries to calm down.

Izuku: ‘No. I’m not like that. I-It’s fine. Kiri and Kirishima would be…’

He couldn’t finish the thought. Instead, he waited for the next match. One that could be just as destructive as his.
