Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9oWMtSK8M
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsaj6SIhtN
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!!!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTUSKwspsa
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wKIqSQcAN
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWXJPk6lLf
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbfZRstSS8
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrqeMJRAKV
She doesn’t answer.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ7X5VT0me
Present Mic: “READY?!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHExY3G7j3b
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SSqQrQfyL
Present Mic: “START!!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCV7FdjobB
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ccI5U0dQa
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQM1EWvTKg
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb196NcDApq
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhvM9THGEC
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L137r1Zvb
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8myk51tWSQ
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasBgxn6Pdi
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb39f5JhYLQ
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB6XjAIA87
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkTIlCbUz0
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qdkiOxHmp
Izuku: “Ugh.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9ONaadlBV
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJtj4psqys
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjC1iZBYbE
Izuku: “What the-”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUld5HphSk
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrg3xFH8VX
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqen1RUBM5R
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe3Pmt0Wt1
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimeQvkisDh
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UzM0mqvDZ
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-
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lEuPZefjH
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdqVFPYOrG
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScoEBtRKPZ
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNlAFHJUge
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!?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GjgMyrWYd
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLi5tZQ1x0
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAynA14dLye
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdMRikjMzb
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqfavzvMBT
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7fgbbNhe4
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZTz0GjqXV
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ES00UkdxK
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9QuijvW2M
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ8lju123j
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84ntZncAyZ
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd6uHXNQ9G
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BLnyVTmQe
She shouldn’t be winning.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78k4SyLWY4
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFztGR9OW9
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlfSOI5h9a
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu8MIRN6Th
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrbtFtmuCf
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy62T150BM4
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplNHNEsi1E
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDiObI2gvK
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrto2uMWQGs
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0IVA1vzv4
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57rtfRbhsS
Her field breaks.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXG2rDn2qR
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jdKmlUQ5R
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyMk7CZusN
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUDWQvjbQA
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUdU60zw70
She’s inches from defeat.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrobR22jYEA
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yLl0kaCdz
It’s over.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtUGVPn6w9
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5gwOMfYDd
She lost. She’s weaker.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV2lznSyWu
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBZRjggIHE
How could someone like her understand him?
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEXUHX1oPS
How could he… love someone like her?
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36ydWSeNly
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOPiSNpv5f
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9HqvDyUK3
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vPCbvDIF1
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOEoy7TjCc
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22ZOkBkp4j
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNGEz6gZUq
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAp3oidnaL
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xrttzkKP3
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pR0vWpG3E
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF98qFW9JhU
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH99MXnwlxR
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPqkQ2N8DF
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9VCtYR9I8
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALbGzrhDPP
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZTu5954ta
Kiri: “… You held back.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcFC9GjVj4
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoceBfEOOyD
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ39WNuUMR1
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoU0aWr7pw
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WRRWTT4fq
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefA8cikhIj
Izuku: “I… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFApd9FzEDJ
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?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdW076vBw1
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWK4qg1W6U
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hCBZp22Cf
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeWMXDqSjh
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG0Jfekt8C
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6Bx39jQ8J
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0s1mgPszv
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF8YVQwhI6
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl9p9jHuge
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CHKi8nTxD
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6OJUjftNK
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX0r4vVNlX
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqnV0fHsOm
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuYRcR4P1N
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi1AAkT6e0
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUByEnV047Y
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cI3MX9My5
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEVBMHYvuX
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKF5aWvlOP
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsn5dvw5QI
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcs5WPFDHA
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lmXPqhdFi
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hh9ckQVWD
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJr0b57JEw
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHL4JVj4vV
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVOqAEfjcs
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJovfh6UYv
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r7bST27C6
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYy3cJjVam
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5XVoybT7U
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoI39yPZ1u
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o4qb4HbLr
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-”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeomNy37UA
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nRDRqpAMe
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjIXRJNxfY
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXtaTMRk3w
With that, the conversation was over.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDCUIim09s
Fubuki: “Well?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz9qnjkjSk
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZhJ8zSDkL
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0usGVQhvA
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGNHwjvwYC
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNZGKYT2Sj
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvLAf4fb5X
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTwTqKctdi
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA1RrnlWRE
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrvuXw1Zop
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd14IlyGXq
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39XCtXK4Zr
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Vwie9zZl
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTOMso3xn9
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAkwnICgHH
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruBEXD2zim
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChYpaHx8aF
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J1xCW7wg3
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?
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdHW1pV3mJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPva9goxNx
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWwKm0x5CB
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sizZdHf6h
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHSzqvzDdO
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyaUGF9GUF
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwWrVTofHL
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopREW5luPs
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvqsziX3xy
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeuMSAmyxC
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsjn0sFYmF
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxr13BvhK7
Present Mic: “START!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlWcGLApPI
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveSfS30bRI
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OOO50oRFV
It’s going to hurt, though.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SVmuli0Ye
BOOM!!
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4EoOuIyz8
Uraraka: “Ah!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0j7DHGff8
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfigsbygfK
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoOS5fdxMs
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXx12NecBr
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHxR2WZ5k3
Sabrina: “Loc-”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj29KmtkY1f
Too late.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikIgMAu5mI
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqDWUwkFvn
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTD25t6b4p
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTKbphlEJI
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwsDqTPCNv
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb12FPeYWT6
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQLaNBFkGp
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdJAudY7ho
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELyk7NjlA1
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5ky0jjnId
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtRo2CzhxH
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m0RTyjH35
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
