Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgStQIFB1g
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnvjQYmMms
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!!!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71JlNjN1eV
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNTB6KXKDX
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20xpwdpMI7
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWQgM0O53L
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzbYFPUyBy
She doesn’t answer.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JDXfsR0qX
Present Mic: “READY?!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemSTHXglDq
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIIG8XJ9dN
Present Mic: “START!!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAwm7pNXUm
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY0vXlpnwR
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZXdnUSINr
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZrvzT82vJ
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnILwCaJdb
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYPvbGe9bv
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFysURhS1f
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2otKr5UhB8
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhnImCCPj3
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqKWGWsint
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMmnOCAf6Q
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80WVgjj5qy
Izuku: “Ugh.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZlFLMoi3v
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwVFChiob1
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9jyiQ2e7f
Izuku: “What the-”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bco4n1ASX
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSFnvK0HBf
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKwJqWchuB
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8D8MHnuzO
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGSNXr6oua
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCpUMQLDgb
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-
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwl2i3SQLF
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z47rsYfr4
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC42at3I8XT
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Rm3URhH3
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!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHuZjPCnG2
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdDI3RSOfD
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFLvugYYkf
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGl56KArn0
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQExPD707UG
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHdYrMZPYN
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr1YdSokQc
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVsObhXKIx
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCquvAlTC4d
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnddf284GV
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv5wg1LtE3
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuX9GiGB3m
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT21h9mkdO
She shouldn’t be winning.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMkV77Kxzd
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv4xeH4dj0
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC0gRVzDKM
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4fy9lUeXH
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVVvqJUMkq
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBopenbbis
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlOSL9IGm6
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i1xBBSKFl
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPEaNS18B9
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL9ISI9rMP
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v8DirrUc1
Her field breaks.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1jaIBUt14
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2ZjnlECvD
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYlnzRYTGC
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoPewh84MM
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLnpKnBQuN
She’s inches from defeat.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xA5zipzKy
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRcrGaHrwy
It’s over.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JSdAtRD1i
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZso8VgSFW
She lost. She’s weaker.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDMt5YNKo8
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kjsrlDPCi
How could someone like her understand him?
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6tFsuTwJ8
How could he… love someone like her?
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTzkZ1mwF9
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QYuR0DOjV
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzGICmJdWe
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcQ2JEFUMT
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjj0QivoAu
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaGtsXwD5r
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13AJUT6NEv
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESFSQQXXNR
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoj30beZdW
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDwt9KoVDW
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ss8YzidDI
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho8pJ1KuCO
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bfszxaMtG
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6y1cNRs2A
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDHy4Wg8A9
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdL6WiCmhL
Kiri: “… You held back.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvXIuHAiV1
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJktOHVgUB1
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijZxjXgO9U
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3IuWfe54b
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuWCRe2bZM
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvR5oQu1ta
Izuku: “I… ”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AbqMv2diA
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?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hBSa2b1Dc
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49dUdOTj1n
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08kmTCyIsT
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQJpCc0GAR
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ugDOFfwaL
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIxj6UDpir
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyFnYpJrEX
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQZSU8TEhw
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIQTgPmxCD
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy4yDeHUk9
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kXASLGmZz
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNPLslN6u3
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt0DRZZm7Y
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8wkq3wi9r
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzECwDu5k3S
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZURoMyGg6s
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLaa1TgJgZ
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2hCuboov7
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX1IV2q1vp
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQHm2jX0Cn
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfOPovXlOm
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b3h1DIZRp
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUQLHee7Q7
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR55MIkpem1
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYLfGTUQhf
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeulleapl2i
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M1wkrSIbb
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5UR94dsF1
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yYjHg4NFe
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzoMfgWklK
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WWVqGQnzH
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0abpIKkT6K
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-”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmEx7vja2h
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxNPotSPIS
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmTqEzzQOY
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU70OgWsFv
With that, the conversation was over.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa8M8qW9cY
Fubuki: “Well?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30FjDI267G
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliNhpwe38T
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkc9j46RcI
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK34nSvEZ04
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevBx79ZVka
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61T5afCXHv
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y1j00uF7E
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XEZ4xJW40
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwnzF8jzKz
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5aOKPcBKp
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE0YhYfOPD
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHYT35Vs9E
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf5cwCw7wM
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ2uHEFPh9
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlJaioxv2h
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUaCj27lzJ
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI2bSpOEQj
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?
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrifDOujgCM
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTzAm9HvwR
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9zwIR4oAe
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqw2puu7In
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ws31c5bN7
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeDOpbHN2W
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1LLAPOk0z
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlrcGJx3k5
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTusbTh2wBr
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWqvCCu0sS
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKodcXIkI2o
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOHmlrIykE
Present Mic: “START!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78x0z51HkK
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciU7xb55A6
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fC77vE0AO
It’s going to hurt, though.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMADZ533unT
BOOM!!
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomysfvkMJC
Uraraka: “Ah!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12HnrmFO9i
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujZwojDL9H
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxb8ILA6by
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEbHyfK7nh
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV86B5cdHUi
Sabrina: “Loc-”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8SeoE5qah
Too late.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YslTwSNlO
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxVgMTSLcx
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jsg4iEZJI
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOtHBZvg9P
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniCnYJY6Q9
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdheXGHNhm
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdDsMlLoeU
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vCFHqIFOV
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRSQ3x6ba1
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4OdIGPKMy
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdJJNrAAlM
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA5EIfEzhs
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
