Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7CJy3Uc1i
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2WLfFiVZY
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!!!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyogYiTVUe
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoLgCB5miZ
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ952RFfl7nP
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX4WAltDGw
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0K4638fKz
She doesn’t answer.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3wYWy4gdh
Present Mic: “READY?!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmFN0mL25m
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY5pVsvV5W
Present Mic: “START!!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BpjWiWv4P
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuzbrt5aq9
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GK7hXXIZT
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDc3P1Trhw
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCSHVkSC5a
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TAk5xSfFN
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMwBV79gNP
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdK0tHbJ4s
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum9vrFCLyw
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgBRkdFyth
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQcxsblKwd
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zOncmq8Ly
Izuku: “Ugh.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIwMzfxvbq
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FUMX3GjfD
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb7bAhzRvw
Izuku: “What the-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n1toiukak
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFo0b7Jgoo
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQii93iW268
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPxp3rRH0l
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvedU6bdPI1
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3yWkkTvXd
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-
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBE3ICn3hy
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6wEsAVGvW
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wMkXH1xti
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RduAycPvq
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!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQKH3UcbLy
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExwmndQyD5
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcI6n6zujY
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW7NpoYWhb
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv8YXRI8xv
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaU4CCqcTR
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthw0FSQJoh
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJxX7mXbqG
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBzGBimlfH
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnypp17dhDw
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXUB8EIf7g
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDUARzQPKI
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXky6jtJeNZ
She shouldn’t be winning.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5WTHQeKyk
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ161NHr3W
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw0mtqYE9w
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqblfWhzyI
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA9R6jyNzJ
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmSU8Zi0LT
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB8ljf9uwd
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPPFSjrHLu
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC0cc6LguP
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHB84XRhAG
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gXdw4BGTw
Her field breaks.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy0GSbo47T
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7PaaXUag5
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKtDEPV1SZ
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJGC9OrBRq
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RKUYZSKSl
She’s inches from defeat.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKqEK63bdw
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSssS85huJW
It’s over.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrDpEEeMVw
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVwL9p0W8x
She lost. She’s weaker.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYKYUaLBzi
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflhkHB11wj
How could someone like her understand him?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaOUiq2VHk
How could he… love someone like her?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTiQZKdapc
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4KqvODZ6q
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKNx718GOr
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1HonKx4IE
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G6JkINCmP
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO6efTrXP4
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyR0Ebm4zW
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoz7VpA7br
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8dqqxISec
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk3bEX5Fo0
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lz0HW5fWe
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY188ICMOeF
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycs6Rwu2ZU
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJMfNWIVEk
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cVOo71x0K
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq64vH6NWQ
Kiri: “… You held back.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTPhi9DQEO
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl72WKC5E7
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fiBoUGrXM
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCoioOeBxl
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuBSXyF2dC
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkuW42oyP5
Izuku: “I… ”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJkNbKBgYv
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?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdZChAZb4S
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXe36sOtXX
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW3r7G10yb
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg5Dscsu8y
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujADzITp34
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDX3yi54Nh
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqxmn15lxj
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSIXXpj1UY
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0RBsNYj0j
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP0upWfNrT
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGreVQUGTr3
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BYARWVr59
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGCb9tN4P0
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifhnMxOkZu
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7MHbYeuy0
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhNUqqji2F
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymU6ylWHs8
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIC9bQ9nEl
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlISa8B9fo
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdEf4iVUdN
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5pHB2aYu6
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RBXgGhBAe
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH1Wy1LBjy
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRoTNCC7oC
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBdxepawMV
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QMBPwCyxA
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8phr1IaQD
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jjn7uYSYx
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzsNOkMfp7
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedr1YtZwRB
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU7zA1DOVg
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbQpA3gYJD
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-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UmlhGB7j0
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblfaCBM9KO
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQZIZedl6M
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Frb5RScQD
With that, the conversation was over.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI6czmWkfR
Fubuki: “Well?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0jkXvCc3v
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjJvriaI98
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLElz01Y3Ib
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB8JGyMBAY
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL8oOlpeY7
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V3QmzZFUn
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCUBZOyGJI
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNNIatM6Sb
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLzl8eIi0C
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIT8Hu3RcU
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk2Xk2BRMn
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBap6WE06P
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKM4gIaMfN
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZFkJewSt0
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroZ7km5qvO
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnC70T76P5
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLAZ7spBc3
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?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrr1KsTSHI
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j0BaV7Yv9
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7muOwkWbDt
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWvkBRCW9i
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknPB5CDvon
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxsQFTA40Z
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNwgi03Wzj
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEbhRaabVK
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAFYthldvA
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx8PXFLcPt
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G4Q5McmAI
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqzwAQrlqO
Present Mic: “START!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCjNduxRcJ
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkloAZ8hRC
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuwbPGY0R6
It’s going to hurt, though.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mpeJpJ80N
BOOM!!
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4IdV1dYfs
Uraraka: “Ah!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdv7ERrl97
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NajZVEgrw
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltEskqaLeb
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OhamND6XV
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar2bt9yH0J
Sabrina: “Loc-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W7RkhyKnr
Too late.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrCEeJRYHf
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxGjYf43AU
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATxZsl0tb1
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB67vl0dE7e
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡype4EBdEHI
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy0OgE3o8y
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpj0Fg8SFL
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZK2AVP2O5
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMok2qfA1q8
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzmgo90hzR
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgDFkNkryx
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJU3ujIhJV
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
