Present Mic: “Welcome back, everyone, to rouuuuund twooooo!!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs2At7m9B3
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwmqZidr3Y
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!!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dhd0kbvRZ
Cold air whipped around while Izuku’s eyes flashed green.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAVaztZyHw
Present Mic: “Start!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR570gYOzpt
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGjYIgYJeO
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSo5YPvFwt
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk9jnfjQ94
Heck, he could even take a page out of Nogami’s book and teleport him out.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnknjyUA38e
Izuku: ‘But that won’t solve anything.’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNVhlzqbse
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgstfrJmZPa
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThQjttdMex
Todoroki: “Why are you on the defensive? What are you doing?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpT5nRlDBJ
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DfwqPMdrK
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgckptTZ71o
Thinking fast, Todoroki created another while sending a large wave of ice towards Izuku. Large enough to hopefully freeze him.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpqdQNkadM
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOv7Ti4tmY
Izuku: “I can ask you the same thing. You’re shivering, Todoroki.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23FQgHDnvL
Todoroki: “Tch.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhP8KJhAKl
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?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZLyjvW5LZ
Todoroki said nothing; he could only narrow his eyes as he felt the frostbite setting in.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxGSzc6JTt
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!?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtPM5V8DPn
Todoroki: “Midoriya… ”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI7SuHUCqQ
Izuku: “Stop holding back, fight me!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe94nSOZFLb
Todoroki: “… What do you think you’re doing? Did my old man pay you off? Now you’re making me mad!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERVYrYrLRI
Todoroki sends another wave of ice, one that’s much weaker than his usual.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0si0dCCI4A
Izuku: “Todoroki, I’ll show you that you can’t win or be a hero like this!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ahCkY7Oc
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfMRGQm8N3
Instantly, all the ice turned into water.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ174begfh38
Todoroki: “Wha-”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYmm6DzCZZ
Present Mic: “What’s this, folks!? Izuku somehow turned all of Todoroki’s ice to water!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv5AnDTVSP
In the stands, class 1-A is also in shock and confusion over this development.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bpkxAYOlk
Mina: “What the? He can do that? How?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ov8hzKhp
To explain, Momo decided to speak up.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfXptMyo7d
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DHByVTq4Z
Uraraka: “Wow, Midoriya’s quirk is-”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc97XDq5aS
Denki: “Unfair, I agree.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7RYXneVp9
Uraraka: “I was going to say interesting. Does anyone else just get new abilities like that?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQsxc7adb2
Jiro: “I don’t think so. I know some quirks can give you multiple similar abilities or evolve, but this is crazy.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDHHepU9Vd
Kirishima: “So, he can: fly, teleport, move things with his mind, make shields, read minds, and now change things into other things?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ie2l7Cy03
He says while counting off his fingers.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4778tYnJ7X
Momo: “I think he can also power himself and inanimate objects up. I remember he improved the power of a cannon I made.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRisOxieKUl
Tokoyami: “The Psi-sword as well.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWyX8NGKMq
Denki: “Ridiculous!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU3Qy0xbxF
Mina: “I’m so jealous! I wish my quirk could do different things. Like, what if I could make acid animals or something?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oxZaPAeVU
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxgTfjLvo6
Momo: ‘Stupid! Why did I do that?’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1jOYwAEYK
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1pUXF3w3N
Kirishima: “I wonder if he’s hiding anything else. Hey, Tae, is Midoriya-”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqujpdldTx
It was this moment, that Kirishima and the rest of the class noticed that Kiri was gone.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqToJqRnjFt
Ida: “Mmmm, I don’t see her either.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxeFlsJJ4B
Uraraka: “She wouldn’t miss Midoriya’s match.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy18fKyNyYq
While they worry about Kiri’s location, the match below continues.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSKGwqdfbD
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyDEIKJBcg
Todoroki is at a loss. Any ice he creates now will just be turned into water. Is there no hope?
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aIb5U53j3
Todoroki: “Why are you… doing this?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2vYXDUCf9
Izuku: “Because that’s what a hero does; they help people.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGp0AXxHFP
Todoroki: “I don’t need-”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT355IYdUSV
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!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTZsj5MgfS
Todoroki: “Shut up… ”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eq7Dt4qz7
The cold air starts to bite even harder, but Izuku didn’t stop.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqBDQmn9wm
Izuku: “Make me!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtZTK6qteZ
Izuku teleported in front of Todoroki and delivered a devastating gut punch that nearly rang the boy out.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHimvK1PCYR
Todoroki coughed before forcing himself back up. He can’t lose like this. Not to him.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorDfK0VELt
Todoroki: “My father… ”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Jkgfv8Z8
Izuku: “It’s yours! It’s your power!! Use it!!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG7uzjyWTL
His eyes widen as memories of those warm times with his mother flood his mind.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmi45Tiii9
“It’s okay, Shouto, you… you aren’t a slave to your blood. You can become the man you want to be.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6utnaxARW
Assured by his past, Shouto ignites!
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeRXYdgdjy
Present Mic: “What’s this… ?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NRPaejAe0
Ida: “He used it… !
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GPmYlrm8D
Uraraka: “Hot, hot!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jh3ChMjub
All Might, hidden within the crowd, smiles as he now understands why Izuku held back so heavily.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpUmDZeQpA
All Might: ‘So you wanted to save that young Todoroki? Truly, you’ll make a great hero, Midoriya.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapRCdaLoPU
Todoroki: “…Fine. If you wanted me at my best, you got it. I will be a hero, Midoriya!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGLByDX9vO
Izuku smiles, a mix of happiness and… excitement.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8EteMIyBF
Izuku: “That’s what I want to hear.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHYQ3qQOsG
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhsgcHG6kq
Todoroki charged up both his ice and fire, preparing his ultimate move.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b7UzBR5hC
While Izuku floated up and quickly charged a Psi Explosion between his hands.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SyoOmsx8H
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr77U17M57I
Fearing an explosion of epic proportions, Cementos quickly created a barrier around the stage.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehSEUUQfh2
Todoroki: “Midoriya… ”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlyoGSsWOE
Closing in, Todoroki lifted his hand while Izuku did a backward flip before unleashing his attack.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPKrWmoyBV
Todoroki: “Thank you.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVxOKysHfd
BOOOOM!
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhUV06kgB6
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HOeJNQ13R
“I’m sorry! I’m sor-”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguKc0629dG
Kiri crushed the skull of the strange talking crab quirk beast. She ignored the shell shocked bystanders.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfptl2hxb4N
Kiri: ‘I feel… a bit better.’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rz7CqDb2a
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C0KiGD5ju
Kiri: ‘Udders can’t do that. Too weak.’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gGolqNof1
After thinking that, she hears a large explosion in the distance. One in the direction of the stadium.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5tQ4e410P
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvR1HL4bOK
She knows he won. He wouldn’t lose against Icicle.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j6eCiSqLK
Kiri: ‘I’m up next.’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL623dGGeFO
Knowing that, she quickly left the bloody scene. The screen zooms out to show several more quirk beast corpses lying across the street.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFgP3TTi2E
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvp6lezyBV
Cementos: “Sure, they’re powerful… but that’s just ridiculous.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Hjh9UV5w
Present Mic: “What the heck! What is up with Aizawa’s class!?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0JGtCHwqo
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpuoyU2LqJ
The result, though, was not too surprising.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdd98eUCbV
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHFM2tOxvV
The esper was floating over the destroyed stage with a satisfied smile.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTStrhHaWIK
Then Todoroki looked at where he was, on the grass.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XOHiilfdJ
Midnight: “Ring out! Izuku advances to Round three!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0KysfP6z3
The crowd explodes with excitement. Tatsumaki grins at her brother’s excellent performance while Fubuki is still in awe of the destruction.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKMpyZHQ7D
First Kiri, now Izuku…
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXLHrPzWlq
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lsqWTHDFV
Fubuki: ‘I… can still grow.’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVI479xWIN
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOIwcM8RoJ
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH9TEvO4Xk
While in the halls, Todoroki runs into his father.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxCEo6RO4f
Endeavor: “What? Not going to tell me I’m in the way?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF8Zi9jZba
Todoroki only stared at the man. No, he looked past him. Like he wasn’t even there.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIpuZ7pbpj
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!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoRTsWWl49
Todoroki: “… I haven’t rescinded my disavowal of you.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGqtM0wPUf
Endeavor: “… What?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqunAp1UQh4
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUkJTO65kd
And with that, he moves past his father and takes the reins of his life again.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoW568aWS5
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81d0tmcBM0
Izuku: “Kiri is gone?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm2D33sZtt
Kirishima: “Yeah, man, we haven’t seen her!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx70j8cXT38
Izuku: “Hmmm.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9mkMlyh6x
Izuku: “Tatsu, is Kiri there with you?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gLUImsXfC
Tatsumaki: “No, why? Also, mom and Fubu says you did great.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdK0szqPvH
Izuku: “Tell them I said thanks. As for Kiri, she’s not here.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYekAo2cAY
After a moment, Tatsumaki gives him an answer.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw16n78DQ9
Tatsumaki: “I sense her; she’s coming back. Apparently, she went outside.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRcUCHJDu0
Izuku: ‘Outside? Why?’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiIICj5e6X
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihCX3Ot1Qt
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!?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurYXTIev8n
Shiozaki was already in the ring, but there was still no sign of Kiri.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8KY48lUkF
Kirishima: “Where is she?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0KRKOhzPg
Izuku: “Tatsu said she was outside for some reason. She’s coming back, though.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCiCxJeFIg
Uraraka: “I hope she makes it.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09xBp4YbBD
Denki: “What a way to go, being late.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTiXtvRoig
Thankfully, Kiri dashed out of the corridor after a few seconds.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAQ24KkAfL
Present Mic: “And the latecomer has finally arrived!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lbaUAuptr
Kiri looks up at Izuku and immediately stiffens when she sees Momo sitting next to him.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlIPZduRn1
Kirishima: “Yeah, go Tae!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgDvm8Rklw
Everyone else didn’t notice the change of expression, but Izuku did.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg4x7wpmSA
Izuku: “What’s wrong?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3Hgavdr7L
Kiri: “… Nothing.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNymztnfrr
That was a lie, but he could investigate it later. He shouldn’t distract her.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmucHmoDlO
Present Mic: “Now that everyone is present, let’s get started!! Ready!? START!!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAKC1lpB4A
Instantly, Kiri was cocooned in a vine prison.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzboGLCIfB
Kirishima: “Wha-”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDN8QM9Zuw
Denki: “That’s what happened to me!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6xFuayB0C
Izuku: “Kiri?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLqW6UUXOS
Present Mic: “Oh, what’s this!? Is Kiri Tae defeated already!?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHjywwXIpa
Tatsumaki narrows her eyes while Fubuki’s widen.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jY3TZiToc
There’s no way she was defeated that easily. It was impossible.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q6kp4UICu
Indeed it was.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOiUWQnCwu
Suddenly, the vines around Kiri fall to the ground.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkHJ75aj60
Ibara: “What!?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJoeHi6q8l
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPRy6Aly97
With a bored expression, Kiri starts to pull all the hair to her.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk70Z3tKzvt
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1vyVeSov2
Present Mic: “Yikes, I would hate for that to happen to me!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgl9oowRW6
When at the edge of the stage, Kiri simply threw her off, vines and all.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnksnDurFwi
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the next round!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS2js4wRkA
Present Mic: “And there you have it, folks! A short, sweet, but a bit embarrassing match!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZqsxWIoRs
Done, Kiri goes to reclaim her place beside Izu. That was until Ibara opened her mouth.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8opo2ImUQ
Ibara: “You’re the same as Midoriya, aren’t you?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vwAhLWv2H
Kiri looks back at the woman before she continues.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBf0LTnE3S
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcKxiN8dAC
The ground beneath Kiri’s feet cracks as her stare becomes nearly feral.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl8xq4j6NX
Kiri: “You. Know. Nothing.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58PrjMxlqc
Izuku: “Kiri?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXaZg0CcWF
Before Kiri could do something rash, she heard her brother’s voice. Calming down, she fled the scene.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3o3xoTcos
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe4jGnUR7p
Izuku: “Kiri, is something wrong?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVSdGswjeP
Kiri: “No.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sgCWGhcW8
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPiBB78CTt
It distracted him so much that he didn’t pay that much attention to the next match. It didn’t last long anyway.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ko2oMSaVV
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23qo6I1FgX
Jiro: “Aw, man! If I only used the sonic blaster quicker, as soon as Ida got close.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7IJiDOQae
Ida: “You did very well to keep me at bay, Jiro. A very respectable effort!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzeLLCtziI
Jiro: “Still lost.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsiCI07fyz
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSikvCR3I02
Jiro: “Really? Thanks, Momo. I’m glad you’re not letting your loss get you down either.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfKuG04DX9
Momo: “Well, I had some help.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL9NnM9LkN
Jiro: “I bet.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EdH8nDThS
Momo smiled at Izuku, who returned it after hearing the conversation nearby.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfVvzxfbTg
Izuku: ‘She really took our conversation to heart.’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6M1nMl0TW
And here comes the memory of the kiss. The two of them turn away, trying to hide their blush.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLumrXcv4Tt
Ida: “Is something wrong, Yaoyorozu?! Are you sick!?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMSe0tfwc8
Momo: “N-No.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDH7HddzFd
Jiro: “Relax, Ida, she’s fine. More than fine, I think.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a85XFaZ3t
Momo: “K-Kyoka?!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MQzj9drRf
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcEFtrAkHr
Better that than hearing that conversation.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe8CQL5glY
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLFiL5PP4y
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3ATCl5SNg
So in the end, Kirishima was overwhelmed by a barrage of mini-bombs.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JrmzcaqVm
