Present Mic: “Welcome back, everyone, to rouuuuund twooooo!!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANALbXMQCyrmB
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAkp4XRBdt5v
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!!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAMyfh9VHIzf
Cold air whipped around while Izuku’s eyes flashed green.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA6sYg1eXLdU
Present Mic: “Start!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAEKbaC0asMU
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANApkAoKK0Mem
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUk81TSlPrY
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAMv3ukIXug8
Heck, he could even take a page out of Nogami’s book and teleport him out.
66Please respect copyright.PENANASu8FPeCcss
Izuku: ‘But that won’t solve anything.’
66Please respect copyright.PENANAiLjGGbePAn
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAduthkK7mmn
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAKwj9Olezgv
Todoroki: “Why are you on the defensive? What are you doing?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAdkcCge3zmH
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAhsIcInZczk
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA7uCPp1v4h3
Thinking fast, Todoroki created another while sending a large wave of ice towards Izuku. Large enough to hopefully freeze him.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA9nwJ9opVNT
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAwrsw2mxa3p
Izuku: “I can ask you the same thing. You’re shivering, Todoroki.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1muSH5sK2d
Todoroki: “Tch.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2YOJ438dQH
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?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAb1pqQKsuB3
Todoroki said nothing; he could only narrow his eyes as he felt the frostbite setting in.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1qhu4bKmWL
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!?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAp5mbru24L8
Todoroki: “Midoriya… ”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAHyYT4TuWXf
Izuku: “Stop holding back, fight me!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAz26b0Ht8tx
Todoroki: “… What do you think you’re doing? Did my old man pay you off? Now you’re making me mad!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAGxnqL2LunP
Todoroki sends another wave of ice, one that’s much weaker than his usual.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAfviz3F9Lal
Izuku: “Todoroki, I’ll show you that you can’t win or be a hero like this!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAQb7t3Uv9Yj
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAULUTbCpR3s
Instantly, all the ice turned into water.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1H9DgNQySF
Todoroki: “Wha-”
66Please respect copyright.PENANARhvzJAjeYA
Present Mic: “What’s this, folks!? Izuku somehow turned all of Todoroki’s ice to water!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAZkTfku6EtR
In the stands, class 1-A is also in shock and confusion over this development.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAO39hFiVhqY
Mina: “What the? He can do that? How?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAt9ueIHA1tr
To explain, Momo decided to speak up.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAiiKL5pnT8d
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.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA0nWWIA8jxS
Uraraka: “Wow, Midoriya’s quirk is-”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAzZxwXwMsaN
Denki: “Unfair, I agree.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAhYFSxIqN4P
Uraraka: “I was going to say interesting. Does anyone else just get new abilities like that?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAjH31qiKa7U
Jiro: “I don’t think so. I know some quirks can give you multiple similar abilities or evolve, but this is crazy.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAQggbvOeYud
Kirishima: “So, he can: fly, teleport, move things with his mind, make shields, read minds, and now change things into other things?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1LuHWYr5qn
He says while counting off his fingers.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA8ptqhgUbfC
Momo: “I think he can also power himself and inanimate objects up. I remember he improved the power of a cannon I made.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAzeC8eDMXE4
Tokoyami: “The Psi-sword as well.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAseJxGA7hdG
Denki: “Ridiculous!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAWVn8CyR19E
Mina: “I’m so jealous! I wish my quirk could do different things. Like, what if I could make acid animals or something?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAFl5PnMbOXJ
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAYRk3kbLrrL
Momo: ‘Stupid! Why did I do that?’
66Please respect copyright.PENANADR8H53kDBY
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAX8rzSyRRAr
Kirishima: “I wonder if he’s hiding anything else. Hey, Tae, is Midoriya-”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAxltRyATz7e
It was this moment, that Kirishima and the rest of the class noticed that Kiri was gone.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAwU60MQM6Ee
Ida: “Mmmm, I don’t see her either.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA45OAT0qeTi
Uraraka: “She wouldn’t miss Midoriya’s match.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANASgoDBV5Sa2
While they worry about Kiri’s location, the match below continues.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAA00y2ypFlU
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.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAHJbIjBQe57
Todoroki is at a loss. Any ice he creates now will just be turned into water. Is there no hope?
66Please respect copyright.PENANATNL5fkcq6Z
Todoroki: “Why are you… doing this?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAOD1qgHRbw1
Izuku: “Because that’s what a hero does; they help people.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAKGNgN2RNH9
Todoroki: “I don’t need-”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAzKPshsvo4t
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!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANANNIOBTr8Rw
Todoroki: “Shut up… ”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA08JBG2sa56
The cold air starts to bite even harder, but Izuku didn’t stop.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAuRAV7YrLQK
Izuku: “Make me!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANADfLCZ9Stcd
Izuku teleported in front of Todoroki and delivered a devastating gut punch that nearly rang the boy out.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAGGBFUOtV22
Todoroki coughed before forcing himself back up. He can’t lose like this. Not to him.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAHZoWxfe5Bs
Todoroki: “My father… ”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAJA4ByMRB0r
Izuku: “It’s yours! It’s your power!! Use it!!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA3Bti4W1Pe1
His eyes widen as memories of those warm times with his mother flood his mind.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2nIHQ1mRIM
“It’s okay, Shouto, you… you aren’t a slave to your blood. You can become the man you want to be.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAsqRLloGzTK
Assured by his past, Shouto ignites!
66Please respect copyright.PENANA9PrK6ytPY0
Present Mic: “What’s this… ?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA8M3S1BujZq
Ida: “He used it… !
66Please respect copyright.PENANAaaDmVF5Inq
Uraraka: “Hot, hot!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA6ElN7FbBMX
All Might, hidden within the crowd, smiles as he now understands why Izuku held back so heavily.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAR04kYSFScG
All Might: ‘So you wanted to save that young Todoroki? Truly, you’ll make a great hero, Midoriya.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvsS9d5xvT6
Todoroki: “…Fine. If you wanted me at my best, you got it. I will be a hero, Midoriya!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANARV7zy5ZChH
Izuku smiles, a mix of happiness and… excitement.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAwWs6YdSait
Izuku: “That’s what I want to hear.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAVBgeuAAf9U
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANARrosiJkPip
Todoroki charged up both his ice and fire, preparing his ultimate move.
66Please respect copyright.PENANACBVO1xHkxE
While Izuku floated up and quickly charged a Psi Explosion between his hands.
66Please respect copyright.PENANApaaPJGYnVW
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAJFGoEaoII0
Fearing an explosion of epic proportions, Cementos quickly created a barrier around the stage.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAn9PIUgAMyy
Todoroki: “Midoriya… ”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAFPHcbeXQVY
Closing in, Todoroki lifted his hand while Izuku did a backward flip before unleashing his attack.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAkRINne2tJa
Todoroki: “Thank you.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAdlXS48hD8P
BOOOOM!
66Please respect copyright.PENANAQqm1mLJ8d0
66Please respect copyright.PENANA3yufYaEWxP
“I’m sorry! I’m sor-”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAuxDL8vKWxS
Kiri crushed the skull of the strange talking crab quirk beast. She ignored the shell shocked bystanders.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAps4caE65p9
Kiri: ‘I feel… a bit better.’
66Please respect copyright.PENANA39YfEIklNE
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAxRSxXeFjSf
Kiri: ‘Udders can’t do that. Too weak.’
66Please respect copyright.PENANAnB3rj8Q7E1
After thinking that, she hears a large explosion in the distance. One in the direction of the stadium.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAqPpK3v82vi
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
66Please respect copyright.PENANAVFRMECdpo6
She knows he won. He wouldn’t lose against Icicle.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbGjdrcEWv7
Kiri: ‘I’m up next.’
66Please respect copyright.PENANAOoVWtQkVv2
Knowing that, she quickly left the bloody scene. The screen zooms out to show several more quirk beast corpses lying across the street.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA22JrRGNaa6
66Please respect copyright.PENANAIY9AsLkzu4
Cementos: “Sure, they’re powerful… but that’s just ridiculous.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANACcaom7ooZD
Present Mic: “What the heck! What is up with Aizawa’s class!?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAEeQrTe0Lfu
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAYjJptEgyA8
The result, though, was not too surprising.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAVSIRgw1MON
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAANDNRDtrsI
The esper was floating over the destroyed stage with a satisfied smile.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAaa1HsK9AkD
Then Todoroki looked at where he was, on the grass.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAig7f3fw4DS
Midnight: “Ring out! Izuku advances to Round three!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA513D4rO5CO
The crowd explodes with excitement. Tatsumaki grins at her brother’s excellent performance while Fubuki is still in awe of the destruction.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAkTPQFUF8IA
First Kiri, now Izuku…
66Please respect copyright.PENANAleW6XjksEs
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAl6yK3EHbhK
Fubuki: ‘I… can still grow.’
66Please respect copyright.PENANAfZDG7glZM5
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2VBOs2HVAw
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.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAIjpM8L7BWw
While in the halls, Todoroki runs into his father.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAI6t5TM1dk5
Endeavor: “What? Not going to tell me I’m in the way?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAxVuekShc5m
Todoroki only stared at the man. No, he looked past him. Like he wasn’t even there.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAyMq4OnzWGz
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!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANALlT8pWW9Bz
Todoroki: “… I haven’t rescinded my disavowal of you.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAfwLw1xEsrJ
Endeavor: “… What?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAr85iNay5s0
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.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAH1VQjiXKR6
And with that, he moves past his father and takes the reins of his life again.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAd6VpHB42jn
66Please respect copyright.PENANAD9kOsdxXli
Izuku: “Kiri is gone?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAmiGwQa8n9V
Kirishima: “Yeah, man, we haven’t seen her!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA9rCqwTzohW
Izuku: “Hmmm.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAhjpKrURqr9
Izuku: “Tatsu, is Kiri there with you?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2T37pr2Ssc
Tatsumaki: “No, why? Also, mom and Fubu says you did great.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAWEj9rLufSW
Izuku: “Tell them I said thanks. As for Kiri, she’s not here.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAsun40Blwxj
After a moment, Tatsumaki gives him an answer.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAMAEr2SP4po
Tatsumaki: “I sense her; she’s coming back. Apparently, she went outside.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAKVF7WRVuyV
Izuku: ‘Outside? Why?’
66Please respect copyright.PENANAML2PCN7onl
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAZnNcO87DqR
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!?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAAEq9anFcVG
Shiozaki was already in the ring, but there was still no sign of Kiri.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAdkvVIUHPIK
Kirishima: “Where is she?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAGeJL0iwHdE
Izuku: “Tatsu said she was outside for some reason. She’s coming back, though.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvsflDq1XO7
Uraraka: “I hope she makes it.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAY8G4TwYTrH
Denki: “What a way to go, being late.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANALIYweEkBBu
Thankfully, Kiri dashed out of the corridor after a few seconds.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAdQuqo6vJ5S
Present Mic: “And the latecomer has finally arrived!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANACDk0YxjfIQ
Kiri looks up at Izuku and immediately stiffens when she sees Momo sitting next to him.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAiI5NrIAHh7
Kirishima: “Yeah, go Tae!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAySXhC2zuNf
Everyone else didn’t notice the change of expression, but Izuku did.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAcgCdKX7r7z
Izuku: “What’s wrong?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbJQ3sMvnA5
Kiri: “… Nothing.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAVBI2UeG22a
That was a lie, but he could investigate it later. He shouldn’t distract her.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAo9qpl9ws9a
Present Mic: “Now that everyone is present, let’s get started!! Ready!? START!!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAuHfJ17clSA
Instantly, Kiri was cocooned in a vine prison.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAfAA4disn7O
Kirishima: “Wha-”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA0MYnOIVsZO
Denki: “That’s what happened to me!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAQjFFpGTlWW
Izuku: “Kiri?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAXmsE60sC04
Present Mic: “Oh, what’s this!? Is Kiri Tae defeated already!?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAMv4kw5CZfW
Tatsumaki narrows her eyes while Fubuki’s widen.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA0cQpAdDWzm
There’s no way she was defeated that easily. It was impossible.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAoU9gMyRifS
Indeed it was.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAHN59SNKt66
Suddenly, the vines around Kiri fall to the ground.
66Please respect copyright.PENANArO7iMWEuCX
Ibara: “What!?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAQIThsID0jj
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANASvCNW9r0iQ
With a bored expression, Kiri starts to pull all the hair to her.
66Please respect copyright.PENANArdkPNT0myl
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1DOixw9YkF
Present Mic: “Yikes, I would hate for that to happen to me!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAcgYuDa6Qu6
When at the edge of the stage, Kiri simply threw her off, vines and all.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAPwi0DnSyH7
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the next round!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAmcL3iiiFej
Present Mic: “And there you have it, folks! A short, sweet, but a bit embarrassing match!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAjzaSWdmiUj
Done, Kiri goes to reclaim her place beside Izu. That was until Ibara opened her mouth.
66Please respect copyright.PENANALHPttPhAhn
Ibara: “You’re the same as Midoriya, aren’t you?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAkIOaVJluBs
Kiri looks back at the woman before she continues.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAYqo7TZ60u4
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.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAVK1o1jjpuq
The ground beneath Kiri’s feet cracks as her stare becomes nearly feral.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAqtthfUVV2S
Kiri: “You. Know. Nothing.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1fskMuCP42
Izuku: “Kiri?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAIvdzuhPZOn
Before Kiri could do something rash, she heard her brother’s voice. Calming down, she fled the scene.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAKpSwM3zdCQ
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2eWbbtutY4
Izuku: “Kiri, is something wrong?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA640D7h5vZG
Kiri: “No.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAtVWbKchLHU
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAs4wyS7IesB
It distracted him so much that he didn’t pay that much attention to the next match. It didn’t last long anyway.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAz0h8QB2XoO
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANApGAM84vIl6
Jiro: “Aw, man! If I only used the sonic blaster quicker, as soon as Ida got close.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA6HuLHFEuAs
Ida: “You did very well to keep me at bay, Jiro. A very respectable effort!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAQsTIek2Fx3
Jiro: “Still lost.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAYlZaMCKvkQ
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.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAVi9W6oDmSl
Jiro: “Really? Thanks, Momo. I’m glad you’re not letting your loss get you down either.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ5McgIEte
Momo: “Well, I had some help.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAmUL2ZQcB1S
Jiro: “I bet.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA6yemVOTW9i
Momo smiled at Izuku, who returned it after hearing the conversation nearby.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA0poLfFXaDw
Izuku: ‘She really took our conversation to heart.’
66Please respect copyright.PENANAnaWsnWOGtz
And here comes the memory of the kiss. The two of them turn away, trying to hide their blush.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2BxTFid5cA
Ida: “Is something wrong, Yaoyorozu?! Are you sick!?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANALn7D18TttW
Momo: “N-No.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAmKtBdaiBsy
Jiro: “Relax, Ida, she’s fine. More than fine, I think.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAEtF0h2kOPR
Momo: “K-Kyoka?!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAFvmojFrASA
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAESrjSeBBHi
Better that than hearing that conversation.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAnH7GWDeXIJ
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvAra7UTeqH
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAPcyAytzIre
So in the end, Kirishima was overwhelmed by a barrage of mini-bombs.
66Please respect copyright.PENANASmNSwJwvio
Kiri: “Poor Rocky. He did well.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ7b2NkLAo
Izuku: “Rocky? I thought his nickname was Rock-Man or something.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAhyJp1OqGL7
Kiri: “Nh. He earned it. Reminds me of Rocky movie. Trains hard. I like it.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAu8pGLJjfJ3
A small smile emerged on Kiri’s face, and Izuku… didn’t like it.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAyHhjlDNxOu
He really didn’t like it.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAYpoRNp64xl
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… ’
66Please respect copyright.PENANA134Wd7hNfI
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvVwsKNlWmP
It was too much to think about right now. He shakes his head and tries to calm down.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAcLy7SuQ4jI
