Present Mic: “Welcome back, everyone, to rouuuuund twooooo!!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamOCwh3a9e
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTazkX8FSa
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!!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjmYqwevqi
Cold air whipped around while Izuku’s eyes flashed green.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FHX1zqto0
Present Mic: “Start!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNjh3mT4bF
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXaZWGhcCD
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvFLVDJyOQ
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPexDZ4ikSX
Heck, he could even take a page out of Nogami’s book and teleport him out.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HXF0v955c
Izuku: ‘But that won’t solve anything.’
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0YIR9DPOe
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQrXRx7rzN
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWLNnxDLcu
Todoroki: “Why are you on the defensive? What are you doing?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK01ib4t5n
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrEi3yaisX
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy5vJ5Y5cC
Thinking fast, Todoroki created another while sending a large wave of ice towards Izuku. Large enough to hopefully freeze him.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ6Pc8TLs9
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIZr9vvrjC
Izuku: “I can ask you the same thing. You’re shivering, Todoroki.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkQWhCpdWq
Todoroki: “Tch.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaPoDIpjwO
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?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGtUz3S2Z6
Todoroki said nothing; he could only narrow his eyes as he felt the frostbite setting in.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt7AxnqjCK
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!?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnBWkAYoFP
Todoroki: “Midoriya… ”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yLX1l1GQY
Izuku: “Stop holding back, fight me!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLimFUm3Vw7
Todoroki: “… What do you think you’re doing? Did my old man pay you off? Now you’re making me mad!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0rvmSRG57
Todoroki sends another wave of ice, one that’s much weaker than his usual.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWZ3TPPF29
Izuku: “Todoroki, I’ll show you that you can’t win or be a hero like this!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf1a1iuvDm
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoJKA6zjFi
Instantly, all the ice turned into water.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVnoA36ibA
Todoroki: “Wha-”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJId93wFfu
Present Mic: “What’s this, folks!? Izuku somehow turned all of Todoroki’s ice to water!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO0vUzLJEM
In the stands, class 1-A is also in shock and confusion over this development.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02YbReMItW
Mina: “What the? He can do that? How?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwAdKxkZFY
To explain, Momo decided to speak up.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCroPi5PtbL
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.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgbHc5roqL
Uraraka: “Wow, Midoriya’s quirk is-”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyg9txzfoN
Denki: “Unfair, I agree.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf655Qjklf
Uraraka: “I was going to say interesting. Does anyone else just get new abilities like that?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4pz4Mqks1
Jiro: “I don’t think so. I know some quirks can give you multiple similar abilities or evolve, but this is crazy.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ645ys4DK5u
Kirishima: “So, he can: fly, teleport, move things with his mind, make shields, read minds, and now change things into other things?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHGxzKnkID
He says while counting off his fingers.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hAZS02dkS
Momo: “I think he can also power himself and inanimate objects up. I remember he improved the power of a cannon I made.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu53FJFJUTd
Tokoyami: “The Psi-sword as well.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpo86ZY7TS
Denki: “Ridiculous!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwBog5SGlu
Mina: “I’m so jealous! I wish my quirk could do different things. Like, what if I could make acid animals or something?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFeu6FosEB
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWu0Z1ye9H
Momo: ‘Stupid! Why did I do that?’
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCliVKo4UP
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ525jxinFAw
Kirishima: “I wonder if he’s hiding anything else. Hey, Tae, is Midoriya-”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeXAuFut8p
It was this moment, that Kirishima and the rest of the class noticed that Kiri was gone.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS05COzPLeK
Ida: “Mmmm, I don’t see her either.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v24uuCTZK
Uraraka: “She wouldn’t miss Midoriya’s match.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UOaX6H6BF
While they worry about Kiri’s location, the match below continues.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7bO1zVnmL
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.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafJSiFP6UH
Todoroki is at a loss. Any ice he creates now will just be turned into water. Is there no hope?
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nCuHZEBN1
Todoroki: “Why are you… doing this?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUvq6O2oN3
Izuku: “Because that’s what a hero does; they help people.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhL9koMTZB
Todoroki: “I don’t need-”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhZMlhsdaA
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!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13Plxe1MCV
Todoroki: “Shut up… ”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9KMGQP6fk
The cold air starts to bite even harder, but Izuku didn’t stop.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXWXsmRbY2
Izuku: “Make me!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4YrRZxWqG
Izuku teleported in front of Todoroki and delivered a devastating gut punch that nearly rang the boy out.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNQ5B8yyoT
Todoroki coughed before forcing himself back up. He can’t lose like this. Not to him.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpTHeKiaxW
Todoroki: “My father… ”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0zi5aujqA
Izuku: “It’s yours! It’s your power!! Use it!!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJSHk58fIY
His eyes widen as memories of those warm times with his mother flood his mind.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdWuNgxHEH
“It’s okay, Shouto, you… you aren’t a slave to your blood. You can become the man you want to be.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaORy1Pd8a
Assured by his past, Shouto ignites!
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVXrXY0cMu
Present Mic: “What’s this… ?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCgSDWRmoG
Ida: “He used it… !
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnj3jacwTa
Uraraka: “Hot, hot!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl3qn7LFeI
All Might, hidden within the crowd, smiles as he now understands why Izuku held back so heavily.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrx6KHSNvy
All Might: ‘So you wanted to save that young Todoroki? Truly, you’ll make a great hero, Midoriya.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykHFSKoCgX
Todoroki: “…Fine. If you wanted me at my best, you got it. I will be a hero, Midoriya!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TNydraTw2
Izuku smiles, a mix of happiness and… excitement.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSP23blR5b
Izuku: “That’s what I want to hear.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu67yp2ABoF
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1mLn54ez0
Todoroki charged up both his ice and fire, preparing his ultimate move.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wq9cJtJhr
While Izuku floated up and quickly charged a Psi Explosion between his hands.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0G3hmrIVT
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCrquqUgnJ
Fearing an explosion of epic proportions, Cementos quickly created a barrier around the stage.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpqu5BvhEZ
Todoroki: “Midoriya… ”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC9nJbteFe
Closing in, Todoroki lifted his hand while Izuku did a backward flip before unleashing his attack.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyQYklq52l
Todoroki: “Thank you.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfvbmuu2r4
BOOOOM!
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb41alFYlO
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe8OkCgpQO
“I’m sorry! I’m sor-”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDBYyReEae
Kiri crushed the skull of the strange talking crab quirk beast. She ignored the shell shocked bystanders.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDTR7DRwL4
Kiri: ‘I feel… a bit better.’
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k0v88iu8r
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IRFu2KeVy
Kiri: ‘Udders can’t do that. Too weak.’
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXgbpkPelS
After thinking that, she hears a large explosion in the distance. One in the direction of the stadium.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafpmvTXTxa
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHDi8QggqM
She knows he won. He wouldn’t lose against Icicle.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lWcfVEUBK
Kiri: ‘I’m up next.’
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpztvPYCdzI
Knowing that, she quickly left the bloody scene. The screen zooms out to show several more quirk beast corpses lying across the street.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlAgo9sHB1
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp6T60ZpVd
Cementos: “Sure, they’re powerful… but that’s just ridiculous.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJi54Detth
Present Mic: “What the heck! What is up with Aizawa’s class!?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c2r0FPxKF
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp72uFZF89
The result, though, was not too surprising.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0etEbNbVq1
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKek8tnqEW
The esper was floating over the destroyed stage with a satisfied smile.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe7213N8DW
Then Todoroki looked at where he was, on the grass.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhujjG7zqd
Midnight: “Ring out! Izuku advances to Round three!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hm5b80oFR
The crowd explodes with excitement. Tatsumaki grins at her brother’s excellent performance while Fubuki is still in awe of the destruction.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtpSfjMEMO
First Kiri, now Izuku…
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj8Ful3sRO
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ645JJxfdBy
Fubuki: ‘I… can still grow.’
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dn84c4Q7c
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtYhhw7cmf
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.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkJb6FaZcS
While in the halls, Todoroki runs into his father.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgI1xzutmn
Endeavor: “What? Not going to tell me I’m in the way?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy8gKfV7O2
Todoroki only stared at the man. No, he looked past him. Like he wasn’t even there.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87oCUil6uP
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!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPQopFxNRi
Todoroki: “… I haven’t rescinded my disavowal of you.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVu9qbkiYU
Endeavor: “… What?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaxmNacTgJ
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.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFFZZGsEwe
And with that, he moves past his father and takes the reins of his life again.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBGLGfZihy
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCSQ4eG9r7
Izuku: “Kiri is gone?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdJqLscPyE
Kirishima: “Yeah, man, we haven’t seen her!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRTTb3dRO9
Izuku: “Hmmm.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y0FjiXhUS
Izuku: “Tatsu, is Kiri there with you?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpUwbmLedu
Tatsumaki: “No, why? Also, mom and Fubu says you did great.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZh0qbLmS9
Izuku: “Tell them I said thanks. As for Kiri, she’s not here.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVfPuNwDyu
After a moment, Tatsumaki gives him an answer.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXFgOhwHme
Tatsumaki: “I sense her; she’s coming back. Apparently, she went outside.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkkjyGiXWF
Izuku: ‘Outside? Why?’
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5utZrSQJh
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP6pbzMDPp
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!?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTvm00oYbi
Shiozaki was already in the ring, but there was still no sign of Kiri.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H48B4oRQV
Kirishima: “Where is she?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo5xcjSoHM
Izuku: “Tatsu said she was outside for some reason. She’s coming back, though.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM08RLd6UbG
Uraraka: “I hope she makes it.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tLOnP1n9d
Denki: “What a way to go, being late.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1qrAtL2Lc
Thankfully, Kiri dashed out of the corridor after a few seconds.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHrTGgSZ4h
Present Mic: “And the latecomer has finally arrived!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLfcCYCclU
Kiri looks up at Izuku and immediately stiffens when she sees Momo sitting next to him.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpbX9584wQ
Kirishima: “Yeah, go Tae!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusTdgubBn8
Everyone else didn’t notice the change of expression, but Izuku did.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUMiUTMgDE
Izuku: “What’s wrong?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr2QqXKAZM
Kiri: “… Nothing.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4HhwiwH34
That was a lie, but he could investigate it later. He shouldn’t distract her.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LsPmq474n
Present Mic: “Now that everyone is present, let’s get started!! Ready!? START!!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13F5OOJq87
Instantly, Kiri was cocooned in a vine prison.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSeC89nR24
Kirishima: “Wha-”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdCkarAohd
Denki: “That’s what happened to me!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2FI1gVR1V
Izuku: “Kiri?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqpIMV0fs9
Present Mic: “Oh, what’s this!? Is Kiri Tae defeated already!?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcfYgLSx36
Tatsumaki narrows her eyes while Fubuki’s widen.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9McZcdglW
There’s no way she was defeated that easily. It was impossible.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDyOt331Tj
Indeed it was.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmsABzp35W
Suddenly, the vines around Kiri fall to the ground.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGAOOx7bmb
Ibara: “What!?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6K5TdYNMx
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8Ggaq7Sj4
With a bored expression, Kiri starts to pull all the hair to her.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8mxghXTZH
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVneMjvEJfB
Present Mic: “Yikes, I would hate for that to happen to me!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIr29sSrxu
When at the edge of the stage, Kiri simply threw her off, vines and all.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrHsPNW7BP
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the next round!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyzCuiqUqB
Present Mic: “And there you have it, folks! A short, sweet, but a bit embarrassing match!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb7cL82L24
Done, Kiri goes to reclaim her place beside Izu. That was until Ibara opened her mouth.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy4jcE5Hal
Ibara: “You’re the same as Midoriya, aren’t you?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ef6DR1wQi
Kiri looks back at the woman before she continues.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj0b0HHBfe
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.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy89XatDobJ
The ground beneath Kiri’s feet cracks as her stare becomes nearly feral.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R850oaH1P
Kiri: “You. Know. Nothing.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DwXj30wik
Izuku: “Kiri?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz6Vnn1QzN
Before Kiri could do something rash, she heard her brother’s voice. Calming down, she fled the scene.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1e2aKJQDt
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ36a7wpkxL
Izuku: “Kiri, is something wrong?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1uZkLmICr
Kiri: “No.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1v2LDMCEk
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs0piYqeUL
It distracted him so much that he didn’t pay that much attention to the next match. It didn’t last long anyway.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLGwOVKUpf
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAcpMPOUAk
Jiro: “Aw, man! If I only used the sonic blaster quicker, as soon as Ida got close.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3ClbxbJ1p
Ida: “You did very well to keep me at bay, Jiro. A very respectable effort!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgKVdLrnvX
Jiro: “Still lost.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeiqvbRwEu
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.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyctsE9BfZ6
Jiro: “Really? Thanks, Momo. I’m glad you’re not letting your loss get you down either.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIqY2b6Fn3
Momo: “Well, I had some help.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNINAHgKxkO
Jiro: “I bet.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17ok8bE2sZ
Momo smiled at Izuku, who returned it after hearing the conversation nearby.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa76DHramr
Izuku: ‘She really took our conversation to heart.’
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajIwLu0gbx
And here comes the memory of the kiss. The two of them turn away, trying to hide their blush.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqQ2O4XLcP
Ida: “Is something wrong, Yaoyorozu?! Are you sick!?”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sdSvRh9J2
Momo: “N-No.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx92ZYHWIZw
Jiro: “Relax, Ida, she’s fine. More than fine, I think.”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ftpFaibyk
Momo: “K-Kyoka?!”
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXagqZqawa
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjLmoBG7kE
Better that than hearing that conversation.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhx3XNGyv5
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W8JlgLPG6
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2muwdrTpHk
So in the end, Kirishima was overwhelmed by a barrage of mini-bombs.
