Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUODDZuAhRg
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXWe8yMPji
Present Mic: “The first match is between some of the most impressive students I’ve ever seen! This one is sure to be explosive! Midoriya vs Tae!!!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80Rd22Gwfz
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qwwIjOIu3
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CB4Afj76d
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rieb3V61y
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qgGv47kZE
She doesn’t answer.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi4koeliPq
Present Mic: “READY?!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH5Kr4MRCc
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQABoInwJ8
Present Mic: “START!!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRa3varkUU
She doesn’t want him to hold back? Fine, he’ll just throw her off the stage, and they can talk. But he should have known it wouldn’t be that easy.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvTKNJyBlS
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoIrD5GVB4
The two stare deep into the other’s eyes, and for the first time, Izuku doesn’t know what he sees. Kiri wastes no more time on the clash and unleashes a kick to the head. Again, Izuku blocks with a shield. But he can feel the shield cracking, as this blow was even stronger than the last.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y2pEsQSBB
Seeing the weak barrier, Kiri gripped the shield and tore it apart with her own brand of telekinesis. The esper widens his eyes, for right now he is defenseless. A fact Kiri took advantage of by delivering a head-rattling blow to his forehead.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3PrrF3f8E
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Gnm9PDvs
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvnUHcdIoN
Izuku turns towards her, and his eyes flash green. He puts his hands on the ground, transmuting some of the arena into iron before shattering it into several waves of iron. Like this, each pebble was now like a bullet.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtY06cSZ3o
The storm of bullets surges together to form four large tendrils with teeth at their tips. Fully formed, they snap towards Kiri. The girl jumps, rolls, and weaves through the hellstorm before again delivering another blow towards Izuku. This one, however, he blocked with a hand covered with black iron.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkD5Mw6pNp
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1g2JGaMS5
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRitSRrCVyU
Instead of answering, Kiri growls and flips the two of them over. Upside down, Kiri kicks Izuku away and into the bullet storm she knew he was preparing behind her back.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYVsENhF7W
Izuku: “Ugh.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqTyB1baDx
She wasn’t done; she punched the air to create wind cannons aimed at Izuku. Before they reach him, he teleports over Kiri and grabs her head.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dYkbdKdH9
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrOAevcqg2
Izuku: “What the-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlKS0knlXz
Using tactile telekinesis to stick to things is not too hard to figure out. Especially not now when Kiri wants Izuku to go all out. So to that end, she grabs the arm holding her hand and tries to throw him onto the grass. But he teleports them both back onto the stage before he hits the ground.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZi1OLIbtZ
Kiri unsticks from Izuku and jumps away, just in time for those iron snakes to attack again. She dodges and punches several of them away, but they keep coming.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTC2KiRlwM
Izuku gets up and directs the tendrils to encircle the girl. Quickly, he realizes they don’t have enough power to actually damage Kiri or ring her out.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmY8I28Nku
Switching tactics, Izuku focuses on the composition of iron and focuses. Veins appear on his head as he tries transmutation from a distance. After half a minute, the bullet storm transforms.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MBfyCMfvw
All that rubble turns into gallons of water that float above Kiri as multiple rings. Controlling the water, he causes the torrent to come crashing down. Kiri lifts her hands up and focuses her tactile telekinesis on the coming wave.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVRXYBgckS
When the water engulfs her in a sphere, Izuku breathes a sigh of relief. He can just carry the sphere out of the ring and-
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSON20e3xi3
The sphere collapses, his distracted control overwritten. He had no time to be shocked as Kiri charged once again. No choice now, Izuku had to face her in hand-to-hand.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVLcYsAmDq
Kiri starts with a quick flurry of blows that Izuku could barely react to. But thankfully, his improved and empowered body was able to weather most of it.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU6KDuRtXZ
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gRh8V42MZ
Present Mic: “What a match! A tense back and forth that could have ended if either of them made a mistake. But now it seems like Midoriya is on the back foot! Can he escape Tae’s onslaught!?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PfxP1MSiJ
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshr6yxqzTZ
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BMsYnpcTL
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXuPxXlatH
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGeIxEHN42
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77YKTZ2kYv
If things go as planned, he’ll face Deku in the finals. As it should be. But that won’t happen if he loses here.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHsd0XlmKs
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11hyAfJ40Z
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV4jDPaZKC
In exchange for taking increasingly damaging blows, Izuku is slowly dismantling Kiri’s passive telekinetic field. Similar to what Tatsumaki did, but not instantly like she can.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJZDGpVT4H
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1Cjnxh00B
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrv3Vw6Ck2
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavnr6y1dHk
She shouldn’t be winning.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmQohO5lbP
Kiri, more than anyone, knows how powerful her brother can be. Right now, for whatever reason, Izuku seems only half as strong. Like he is not using a part of himself.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp10QHGbD3
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNq6ne3swH
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2krcMgws5
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCQAXEiGUR
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxGRCSEYl7
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJfMiC740p
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMEdcxWn1a
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoR7zxzYTo
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ976ghlwyKX
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenx6lb58DA
Her field breaks.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWATN3oR5v
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp4NG3G6mJ
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhJdl2Vr5m
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmusxSXvtz
Close to victory, Izuku controls the remaining water and fires it at Kiri. The girl puts up an instinctive defense, blocking the water with her arms.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3SgAGkizU
She’s inches from defeat.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMETrIqHhag
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIiLb9pTIJ
It’s over.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOc9pncrkn
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNosGNnUbC2
She lost. She’s weaker.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9AYsaU20U
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx3J78DuPx
How could someone like her understand him?
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGzriNbKXA
How could he… love someone like her?
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkvmPV5DV9
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRFpu4maX9
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BUPTF79tO
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOQzS8unku
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRiHhNonmG
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIuWYlNTfT
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DuqOKPV1k
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsnYkVdl6K
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskYZha3VaR
Quickly, that sadness is replaced with fury as she grabs Izuku’s outstretched arm and throws him out of the ring. Izuku lies there stunned.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W40546oVs
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWw9GNQK8t
Nearly the whole stadium was bewildered by the outcome. Izuku was going to win, so why did he stop? Did he let her win? Doesn’t sound like him.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqmw9jVNvd
But that didn’t matter to Izuku; he cared about the girl that was walking away from him. He quickly got up and ran after her. He grabbed her hand when they were in the hallway.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi9PHz8iez
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIgxOladwQ
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAeiRIfrzz
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfno5k0g2i4
Kiri: “… You held back.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8GZUwyZIg
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBL3RUxQLd
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEdMDwK7y9
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzpS0HIEA0
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATAkny3JBM
The boy thinks back to when he completely rejected that part of his quirk. She can’t be talking about that. There’s no way that side of him would weaken him so.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SlvIDK3SN
Izuku: “I… ”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Zis2u3iO
Kiri: “I said I could take it. That I’ll never leave you. That we’re in this together. But… it’s not me you want… right?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsns9VzXywz
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gitl6wFom
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIc88cHPNi
Unable to think of how to stop her, Izuku watches her leave. Now, he’s left with a hole that he doesn’t know how to fill.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkzz2qLRFh
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLyTKbRJtm
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEZTPf90T2
Of all people, he didn’t think Deku would throw a fight. His match was up next, and he had no time to waste on that coward.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBlO7u9mYI
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UfVviHdDM
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4A6adLuN9
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARKQL0PUkJ
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2b0pZt3dF
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblZMyU5xcn
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1hEW5WlRW
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT85cWx7S2
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKHKpoMjbg
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jzc8gEftG
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgb8UWaFv8
The family couldn’t exactly hear what was going on, but they knew something was off. Even Fubuki frowned at the sudden development of the fight.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLDSBAlByw
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVavqqiB4k
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdIdWfUgRu
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwh9JJl3wU
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E8nQT6qov
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL482SHDHQ
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8xb6swc7g
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKk4J1H9ld
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAIq1XQIMt
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITCtRqLnDC
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo6DuJJwVX
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcyQOBla46
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4VFIJ5tKE
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ommtHL5ev
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA14DFH669x
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, it’s part of my job to worry. But I do trust you. As long as you two aren’t in danger. Otherwise-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXDVUddvfm
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM9jAPzNym
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjssSoEB4bK
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV9VgB1N1A
With that, the conversation was over.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZyoUqkeLN
Fubuki: “Well?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7AdtrfeIC
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN145ktHN0
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRKtIUgQJH
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwyh3jZuga
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc0kvcJyno
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbitiT4Xfvp
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJLaea4GBd
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaICG6GmVM
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekOcny9d4D
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5gMawahMg
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAa8zcDzYy
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM3aZ9ytkc
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRqQpD9huo
Inko: “Haha, we should get some ice cream to help cheer them up if they’re still fighting. That always helped when I was a kid.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlBfHMStkL
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8PnPzL6jD
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzkCBDWcnq
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dvq7sNBRY
Fubuki can only sigh at her older sister’s antics. But deep down, she’s smiling. These are the interactions she prefers. Why can’t it always be like this?
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnOLMjxA7n
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT3zV7Bc80
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFjeatPdH6
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV0rnlyq9F
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMjYFsgWVc
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgk9yIg7Aa
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEX2VfrNC4
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qKsNMPdLO
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4oy6iIbs4
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJm7h1u4DH
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFbRZxv7ep
Sadly, however, they can’t do much right now. So they focus on the final two matches. The first of which is about to have an explosive start.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9jEAnZ1aP
Present Mic: “START!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VZXIvI5qZ
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rOcUfmEZM
The force of the explosion was enough to propel him right in front of Sabrina. As her eyes widen at the sudden burst of speed, Bakugo was already preparing the next stage of the plan.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg8sXd2pcE
It’s going to hurt, though.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYDSoSE3pQ
BOOM!!
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNMzt4Zpdu
Uraraka: “Ah!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeQArLgV7I
The same move Bakugo used against Uraraka, but this one was used point-blank. Ignoring the pain in his arm, Bakugo blasts skyward before Sabrina clears the smoke.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgqkpZWM0l
A few seconds later, Sabrina blasts the smoke away. The blast was powerful enough to shred through her defenses, dealing damage no one else was able to.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXVYUyHVpA
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4UbQeNYXZ
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HGKea5XIA
Sabrina: “Loc-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l73sWV42T
Too late.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxSBz4QysR
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlk63dR02n
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK3AfsXBMs
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMLpEoCxUf
The girl couldn’t help but be somewhat proud of herself. She made someone like Bakugo take her seriously. Someone can actually challenge these psychic students.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXg48TK36S
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wBrl2VcSn
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBBHfDbkSH
The smoke is blown away to reveal a severely damaged Sabrina; her outfit was nearly completely blown off. Thankfully, for those back at home, her modesty was retained.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgLkqikKAs
But more shocking than that was her position. She was standing on the only part of the stage, on her side of it, not destroyed. She wasn’t out, but she was close.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNSwsm0TqZ
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGnjcy1rW6
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqFt8PhgZl
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEALGQUNIF
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
