Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Chhwioyk
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplHcqoUNOv
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!!!”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoqfARWMBY
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0DC8oVZAK
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjoi3h9lKh
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV911b0OLl
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6eT33NKwH
She doesn’t answer.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrXRRkFtF0
Present Mic: “READY?!”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmbwqPtXU7
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITCJWWGnWF
Present Mic: “START!!”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEPC9ABrKn
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQftoAaFZnB
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcBckIwqww
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh5ELSr9AD
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QriHFe61n
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1C7V73Tzp
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebD52Gzy5L
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD5UlrXI57
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffY1YYcLVJ
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONaypSxOiD
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov57nu8Mg5
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQyS3z9XmV
Izuku: “Ugh.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9H8pTCHVz
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EaTyKrLIc
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReeq7pPD8K
Izuku: “What the-”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8EzG6jbXW
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRJi8T15gE
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjLakthaO2
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLv9XUrppS
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlzDN61oeM
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGThOghYUY
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-
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5knggEKDE8
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5IKEofigb
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD19ZNbCYci
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatQ6uj53Eq
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!?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMLDunQOOv
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdBk0JAz2C
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mTPi6Yquj
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkkZIVmBb5
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiERJuPw3GT
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2SrwFCRXT
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DgSKG8SMU
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKiBuINGmN
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB6SUZVDF3
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe3AYfVNl1
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjmFk6LbAx
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzQM6e8xzC
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCdAX65VIL
She shouldn’t be winning.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwdEwflgAb
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP4GEwsaij
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWy214W7d4
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOf4jFnRP7
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVm0vqosf1
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRvsVyN61m
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuGhJYtAdp
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T6xLo3zmL
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEcm4ZW4C4
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqlndoGWh3
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUT6BJVSSx
Her field breaks.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6Ls1sWH4U
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFB0bBjozb
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc8DWMaB9t
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgEGqeJZw0
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrNzIi9pV3
She’s inches from defeat.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2HA05OIBF
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO0ByAs7rb
It’s over.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneeTXk40wq
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB24v4PquL4
She lost. She’s weaker.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qfvVWvcZX
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAQYp7JsvS
How could someone like her understand him?
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8lD9e8suH
How could he… love someone like her?
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0inR9jXQZb
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE37dbfzcg
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHotx2PE8go
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBasDxG7Ohs
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Cih8j3Dbc
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQMvwZ476B
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU0uIJRl41
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07aLCDjbPm
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKmWWNbVDB
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ31TsBW6QI
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP8ZHujmWR
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhmODR0aHf
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepSFQEqWIs
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvnOiQBDKs
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpklNNGm5I8
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHyNefautp
Kiri: “… You held back.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunMixnIPdP
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5vhi4zRFf
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A5j74wYqh
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3KyhUac8m
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2xRuLDo92
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8npkeo0QUB
Izuku: “I… ”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZeJQgtS09
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?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzGPEAda6R
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i4Bb504aC
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pwwm2Hrsg
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqpYKX3xsl
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgXZn0KwkV
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVidUR22mgd
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxIvWDaGyH
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vQH1Jpqnk
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMa56dobIS
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5GhyzLPOf
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RB9RRcaiR
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVrhYFITi2
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK5Xp1uM6X
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhswKhLkthl
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR5eogcABg
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmspL84KzO
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SXhumrwzt
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnIKhaYhE5
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ3LpXBjJB
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbTNROr1P1
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj6jVYl1jm
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlj13CKari
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd7ud3xt2N
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU2ygFgnPg
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nUOdi1a0m
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk8RVlcv89
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QyuA3xTsm
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjQptLC5Do
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4VbqRdkUO
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0ttevyL69
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8BPpp7sWB
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lc3ZwXbRz
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-”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduJ5vxZjLZ
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc673pWml5f
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZy9iYznwa
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIVYfL1NKl
With that, the conversation was over.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVV8T7JAU6
Fubuki: “Well?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf18KZoB0B8
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqTNlPAHTf
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRjbwfQslT
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHxhQbCGyb
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuObZpSgpB
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZDEzEG9Zo
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2LC7DdPfI
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJjfi2igZj
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0JXxeh7Ba
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOfM8zGLmx
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT6v8F9tPO
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHQnx0qqiq
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltp1UgZ9Nf
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.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiB5G3okWf
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BuysphqEr
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYM0ViwbHo
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ1QMvHBt2
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?
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiloRvENJr
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZpghQY0iB
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMckUHYgUg
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BKsOGHKrr
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbVL84lFEu
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgcZEgNMGb
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekjAjwtm7j
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhI1WCBETw
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyW9TlHG1n
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyNx1Vr2Z6
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CAJR95jTn
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMXwq3XSJu
Present Mic: “START!”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXovHXWBIx
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX70kj0oT3
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKElZTw7lkM
It’s going to hurt, though.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ONX2BZKFX
BOOM!!
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBVFQWxoKK
Uraraka: “Ah!”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BwHy1gtQj
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qg3fZZJr1
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZf49NHvvg
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhwq264BlR
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRg7OmBKFf
Sabrina: “Loc-”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6ovLjE5Va
Too late.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfBEP70alg
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7lGSIzlmK
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lg8LA533W
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe8IDDG88Y
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vCby8JjcT
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT5H3rZKKB
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVWLEl5zSI
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeEoOPgv1B
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.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM1J7HDs2b
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1jJocSQDL
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aMIQoEdfw
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XzaGL4Duf
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
