Kiri is usually very perceptive to the changes within Izuku, but not this time. Whatever happened was too quick, too sudden, for her to fully grasp.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVHxlihgxL
It felt similar to when she lost control before, but different enough to make her even more worried.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJVnD8Hemj
As soon as Shinso fell unconscious, she knew her sisters would want some answers. So she left her class and made her way to where they were.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaUHgkfjD3
It didn’t take long for the whole family to convene; even All Might was there. They all looked at Izuku who had his head downcast. Inko sat next to him, rubbing his back.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05exjMcClk
Inko: “Sweetie, what… happened?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri1eHGKt0i
Izuku said nothing.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVqnRavpOo
All Might: “You’re not in trouble, young Midoriya; we’re just worried.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYFPjVorPu
Izuku: “I know.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtckEfGJoWK
Tatsumaki: “Izu, does this have anything to do with what we talked about?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfkEoh4I1F
His eyes widen a little before settling back to normal.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphOSFQLaAk
Tatsumaki: “I see. The first step in learning how not to fear your quirk is to understand it. So, what did you do to the boy?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEaIgmpiRc
Izuku: “I didn’t mean to.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VYb040dNF
Inko: “We know, sweetie. We know you would never do something like… that… on purpose.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VNvXeWP9O
Izuku: “… All I remember is going unconscious for a second, and the next, he was screaming. I don’t… know what happened.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlcTPJYoR3
They all could tell that last part was a lie. Maybe he doesn’t know exactly what happened, but he has an idea. This only increased their worry.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sUqBSWlZt
Fubuki: “Let’s think about this from another angle. All Might, what quirk does Shinso have?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWXEkCVodz
All Might: “Hmmmm, from what I remember, he has the ability to brainwash people.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDX3NjJwrv
Fubuki: “That’s… disturbing.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4hIB3xcaL
Tatsumaki: “I think I know what happened.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjqHIYaDCz
Izuku: “Y-You do?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrQ4wrnMis
Tatsumaki: “I thought I sensed another psychic signature. It was weak, but there.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWTjCkcZqi
Fubuki: “So Shinso has a quirk related to ours?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qWybbYPfj
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but instead of telekinesis, he focuses on mental attacks.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAxkDXuekS
Fubuki: ‘I guess that makes sense. Wait, doesn’t that mean I could do that eventually?’
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2t29UBWLV
Inko: “But what does that have to do with Izuku?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPrzhnWjuN
Tatsumaki: “Well, I guess Izu’s mind instinctively defended itself.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJuFpQnK2F
Kiri could see Izuku’s shoulder lose some tension. They were on the right track.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRs3z6EsMy
Inko: “I see! See, sweetie, it’s not your fault.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO31VrFniBK
All Might: “She’s right, young Midoriya; don’t let what happened get to you. Young Shinso will be alright; Recovery Girl is on the case. In the meantime, you need to get this side of your quirk under control.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgtOdsg6v8
Izuku: “I’ll… try. I-I’ve already been practicing telepathy with Yaoyorozu.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqamxuyoCjD
Fubuki: “Really?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8RFBE5SFg
Tatsumaki: “That might have been what allowed your mind to fight back like that. More practice could help you have more control.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc0mwl4qH5
Izuku: “I… suppose.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQd9JBhgDU
Fubuki: “I can help teach him.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYY1XLf4Wv
Tatsumaki: “You? How?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg44ThzB36
Fubuki: “Well… I’ve been recently… learning how to read minds.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwPjBuP0vP
They all look at Fubuki with wide eyes full of surprise.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj14NV3EVc
Tatsumaki: “You can do that!? Why didn’t you tell me?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQKvdrZqpV
Fubuki crossed her arms and looked away.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMycOuv3Z6u
Fubuki: “I didn’t want to until I mastered it. You always said I should train harder; well, I found time.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCLcvoZpKK
Yeah, Tatsumaki always said that. Put the agency on the back burner and train harder. That way, Fubuki can stand proudly beside her at the top. But for some reason, this didn’t put a smile on her face.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRX8n52xP6
Tatsumaki: ‘Why would she hide it from me? She used to be so excited to share when she learned a new trick with her quirk.’
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAGhSSiyVH
A trick or ability Tatsumaki would master in just a few moments.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8DWMhsS2Q
Tatsumaki: ‘Ah…’
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7IZam2blA
Before that realization could sink in, Fubuki continued.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5jiG514zT
Fubuki: “So, Izu, if you need help, come to me. We can help each other master this ability so we don’t hurt anyone on accident.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK9ime3X6R
Izuku: “… Okay. Thanks, Fubu.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UYLw2Qs9X
Fubuki: “Anytime.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNDnxnRUl4
All Might: “Great! I’m glad you all have sorted this out. I’ll inform everyone else what we’ve learned about young Midoriya’s quirk.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXXqrVPu8r
Izuku: “They might still be scared.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv3siOAD0R
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, can’t please everyone. You are what you are. As long as you don’t go overboard or misuse your quirk, most people will be fine with you. You’ll see.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLslPq7AkJ
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, thanks everyone.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7k7dBsumw
Just then, a loud boom was felt throughout the whole stadium. Tatsumaki was ready to tear apart the villain who dared come here. But she relaxed when she saw the real reason.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxpmnJ4iFZ
Tatsumaki: “You have an impressive classmate, Izu.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70C0IYO9SY
Inko: “W-W-What is that!?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2wtiJH26e
A massive glacier of ice engulfs a large portion of the stadium. It was large enough for the whole group to see it out of their window. It was actually pretty close to their booth.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xFyLmQbyH
Izuku: “Todoroki… ”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqnFw1cUIU
All Might: “He might have gone a bit overboard.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg6zmmRJKC
Kiri: “Icicle strong. Poor Smile.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpyTeTcsY4
Fubuki: “Doesn’t that mean you’re up next?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSfiK2hf1j
Kiri: “Ah.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgundxi9yZ
Inko: “That’s right! Good luck, sweetie!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzDgVsiqKr
Kiri: “Ih.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcrl19BJ7Z
Kiri grabs Izuku’s hand and helps him up.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnmHOqhAJs
Kiri: “Cheer for me?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLOxHSZlN1
Izuku: “O-Of course. I’ll be with everyone else. Don’t worry, Kiri, I’m… okay now. It wasn’t my fault; I know that now.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bVumwtAEs
Kiri: “… Good.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPJIQIydTC
All Might: “I’ll walk young Midoriya to where his class is.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY0lx6XsVn
Fubuki: “I’ll help melt the ice.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hz6bZE510
Tatsumaki: “You don’t want me to do it?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTFX6uIbMO
Fubuki: “I can handle it.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk9elOnBEp
Fubuki floated out of the booth and towards the glacier. Shaving away the ice with her quirk shouldn’t be too difficult. Besides, she can’t sit and do nothing this whole festival.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuZ5jdf3ti
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLRucOrlyP
It didn’t take long for the trio to make it to where the rest of the class was. Izuku peered out of the corner to see his classmates sitting down and socializing while the glacier was rapidly shrinking.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9mlp96nVB
All Might: “Don’t worry, young Midoriya, it will be alright. Your classmates will not treat you any differently.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcjwMMW2jW
Izuku: “I-I know. Doesn’t stop my heart from racing.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpByIPK5AcJ
All Might: “Hahaha, if anything, it proves you didn’t do it on purpose. Someone who worries about how his friends see him wouldn’t do something to make them fear him.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgiTIhuWFS
Izuku: ‘Not on purpose.’
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsXa7FgDyN
All Might: “I’ll go check on Shinso. You cheer on your sister and prepare yourself for your next match.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbVmI8FkQx
Izuku: “R-Right. Thank you, All Might.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhe3HsMGoM
The boy waved goodbye to his idol turned mentor. When he was out of sight, Izuku sighed. Bringing his mind back together and rejecting those low rumblings within, he steps towards his classmates.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjtIKQsS3h
Mina: “Oh, Midoriya!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4CrFUC3yP
The entire class snaps their heads towards the boy, who instantly freezes.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45eqb3X1xR
Izuku: “H-Hey-”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ47sC7vb03
Several of the more worried and curious classmates bolted towards him. The questions came one after the other. All of them, however, boiled down to a single concern. What did Izuku do to Shinso, and are they both okay?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1dZOxmzY1
Before Izuku could answer, Momo came to the front.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHR6CRw040
Momo: “Midoriya, you don’t have to answer if you don’t feel comfortable. We trust you.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTJYw3yjUd
Uraraka: “Yeah! But we would still like to know.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVqWGE2ah7
Denki: “For curiosity’s sake.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9IGiz0jQC
Izuku: “T-Thanks e-everyone. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what I know.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9360FxKZTT
And so Izuku explained what he discussed with his family. After hearing the story, they all sighed in relief.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeoyYWcxJX
Ida: “I knew you were not someone who would do something like that on purpose. I’m glad I was not wrong.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2wyl6lbNS
Mina: “Yeah, looks like Bakugo was right.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeTVWC4Ime
Izuku: “Kacchan?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4wNWdbOnu
Kirishima: “Yeah, he actually defended you when we were worried. Crazy, huh?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y44diDwHE
Izuku’s eyes widened and his heart lifted when he heard that. He looked past his friends to see Bakugo, who kept his gaze on the arena.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBKYzt6cYV
Izuku: ‘Is he… changing?’
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE6bp5cvQ2
Denki: “Wait a minute!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMnROW9hws
Thunder Boy held his hands up before getting everyone back to what’s really important.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nRjD1GXAN
Denki: “Midoriya, are you telling us you spent days training with Yaoyorozu? At her house? Alone!?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfacti1I6Pp
Izuku: “Y-Yes?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJLrxQZQlk
Denki: “You lucky bas-”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjE594fslB
His words are cut short by a stab to the neck by Jiro’s ear jacks.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM9DwG6GjZ
Denki: “gah!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJYK8F5A4s
Jiro: “Idiot.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYevQjv69ZV
The group laughed, which slowly helped Izuku put himself back together. As for Momo, she tried to fight down the blush that graced her cheeks.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsfO35iXws
Momo: ‘Now that Kaminari mentioned it, that was rather bold of me. If Midoriya were a different type of boy, we may have-’
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSjEuzaYHN
Tokoyami: “The next match is starting.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUNLJdpfk4
They look at Tokoyami, who was sitting down already, prepared to view the next match.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCWoLJa5NF
Kirishima: “Right! I don’t want to miss this!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFDg1eCAYs
The class went back to their seats, and Izuku joined them. To his surprise, he was in between two girls. Uraraka to his left and Momo to his right.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU2Nv4SyM3
Knowing which voice would comment, he immediately shut it down and focused on the match instead.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaIB7T4Qqf
Izuku: ‘Good luck, Kiri. I know you can do this.’
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof0NHkgZKg
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9wKvP84vc
Present Mic: “And here we are, folks, MATCH THREE!! Will this one be just as brief as the last two? Let’s find out!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaL1ykeUWe
Kiri steps to the stage and faces her opponent, Aoi Nogami.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlFtblDyw2
Present Mic: “On one side, we have the silent and incredibly strong girl from the department of heroics, class 1-A, Kiri Tae!!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeJA3Jj2xi
Present Mic: “Her opponent! The girl who stole victory with a single move during the obstacle race. The teleporter from the department of heroics, class 1-B, Aoi Nogami!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypzC93hb8O
Aoi: “Sad to say, this match will be quick too.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh5iRnf2RB
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY!?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjEwkfAlCf
Kiri didn’t respond; she got into a fighting position and readied herself.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWTUyMcAGK
Kiri: ‘Onii, watch me!’
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncqaDh4BdR
Present Mic: “START!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlU6p4B2UC
Instantly, Aoi teleports in front of Kiri and tries to touch her. Sensing danger, Kiri dodges right on time and dashes to the other side of the arena. The dash, however, was messy, tearing up the ground with every step.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ7NHr6phP
Present Mic: “Oh, will we have a real fight here, folks!?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg86JQMkS2m
If Kiri could sweat, she would be drenched. She tightens her stance and narrows her gaze.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01PH5x8Q66
Aoi: “So you figured me out, huh? Yeah, one touch is all I need. And I have a feeling, one day, I won’t even need to do that.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1GzpMscps
Again, Aoi was gone. Only thanks to her acute senses was Kiri able to dodge another palm strike from behind. But Aoi didn’t stop; she teleported everywhere Kiri went.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xunkSFyAW
But Kiri was too fast physically to be tagged by Aoi. At this point, this was nothing but a game of tag. One that could go on for hours.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q8E9jKwBi
Present Mic: “Wow! I can barely keep up with these two! But this can’t go on forever; who will be the first to trip up!?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeXEz1QkMQ
He was right; someone had to take a risk if they wanted this to end. With that in mind, Aoi was the first to try something crazy. She wanted to wait to try this against one of the stronger physical fighters, like Bakugo or Todoroki.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNcWTX4Xpd
But clearly, Kiri was a physical powerhouse as well.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHdE6XKiWG
Aoi: ‘Oh, well. Here goes nothing.’
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCPEbWTetd
The esper breaks off her assault and teleports to the edge of the arena. Kiri was confused for a second but quickly guessed that Aoi might finally be tired.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSTE09DalP
So she goes on the offensive, dashing forward with fist raised, ready to knock the girl out.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhTTdiCHHk
But Aoi wasn’t tired; no, she was focusing. She placed her hands on the stage and willed her desire into existence. Veins emerged on her forehead just as Kiri was in front of her.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s1DSVWGxF
But before the blow landed, both her and the stage disappeared.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOPp0nHWkW
Everyone: “HUUUUUH!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8knuRtStKi
Present Mic: “S-S-She teleported the entire stage high into the sky!!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT13pm91QcG
Kiri’s eyes widen as she sees the green grass feet away. She was… going to lose?
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WU9F8DygB
Kiri: ‘No!’
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXDXZ7ZRGR
Her brain went into overdrive, desperate for an answer to her problem. A split second later, the conclusion revealed itself. It was a side of her ability that she hasn’t used often.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfP1crTiwH
Her ability is tactile telekinesis, the ability to use telekinesis on things she touches. It’s what gives Kiri her immense physical power and near-complete body control.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtl2Jv5b9a
But aside from her body, what else is she always touching but never uses telekinesis on?
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrA3T5ay1M
Kiri: “SMAASH!!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu0A3DORXg
Air.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bsgqMCHAM
An explosion of wind and smoke envelops the ground as Kiri is propelled into the air by the force of her attack. In fact, she kind of overshot it!
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfP5ilmIGT
She shot straight through the stage, shattering it into several large pieces.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSt6MDwUlR
Aoi: “Shoot!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhodIT4Lyz5
Aoi teleports out of the way of the rumble. As for the spectators, they were saved when green energy enveloped the rumble and carefully lowered it onto the ground, away from the stunned Midnight.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNZUFBpcMR
Present Mic: “Thank you, Tornado, for saving the spectators and Midnight!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgIjTp84Iv
Tatsumaki nods before sitting back down to watch the conclusion of this surprising match.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL6MZLDhF9
Present Mic: “I swear, kids these days are crazy! With no stage, it looks like this is a battle for the air. Whoever touches the ground first LOSES!!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2snSn9ZYy
Seeing a chance to end this madness, Aoi senses the space where Kiri is at and teleports there. Kiri quickly rights herself and hits the air once again. The explosion of air was enough to blow Aoi back, disorienting her.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1hNmPp3Dg
Seeing an opening, Kiri kicks off the air and tackles Aoi.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcORYtZ0CLT
Aoi: “Ugh!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHHRNmwf1v
They’re both quickly heading to a meeting with the hard ground.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNyQgx5u9h
Seeing this, Aoi teleports back up. But Kiri is still stuck to her like glue. This was it, the dead end.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswPwn7We8g
She could keep teleporting, but Kiri wouldn’t let go, and Aoi can’t break out of the hold.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MSdlEuI8y
Kiri: “Give. Up.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvxwkvDRUq
Aoi closes her eyes and sighs.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yu9WvtwJn
Aoi: “Okay, you win.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE9ieQKAI6
With one last teleport, the two appear, standing on the grass.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIImPnr0vh
Aoi: “I give.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieARthipOA
Midnight: “N-Nogami surrenders! Tae advances to round two!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkhjLdwvBF
With the results in, Kiri lets go of Aoi.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsghWu8Y4so
Aoi: “Man, you have a tight grip. Thanks for the match.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkvZXwzXfw
Aoi holds out her hand, and Kiri smiles before taking it.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9OlcaesjH
Present Mic: “Such sportsmanship and utter destruction! We haven’t seen a battle like that since Blizzard versus Psykos! And I have a feeling it will only get better from here! So stay tuned! Right now, we need to repair the stage.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9YJ0sz3Hf
Aoi teleports back to her team while Kiri looks up at her classmates, specifically Izuku, and gives them the biggest smile she could give along with a peace sign.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2XS9nQuml
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq9yGWVkko
Denki: “You want to fight that?!”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjuD1KeARG
Kirishima nervously chuckles.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsDqNX8uxK
Kirishima: “I have a long way to go. But yeah, I still want to show how far I’ve come as a fighter.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOOPDyK72g
Denki: “Bro, are you an M?”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5N2cZY1JE
As the rest of his class discusses the short but explosive battle, Izuku keeps his gaze on Kiri. Unlike everyone else, he heard what was beyond that smile.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLeCulmFmn
Kiri: “Izu, you’re not the only dangerous one. Even if you can’t control it yet, you can practice with me. I can take it all and help you through it. I’m strong. I’ll prove it to you.”
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeLNewg0hi
Izuku: ‘I know you’re strong, Kiri. But… ’
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFZnjuy0fS
He shakes the depressing thoughts away. This is a festival, right? Everyone should be having fun.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDEG09rYkd
Izuku: ‘Relax… focus on something else. Like how Kiri used her quirk. Or the abilities Nogami showed. Or how different and similar psychic quirks are. Or-’
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLSWoUExD9
Good thing Izuku always has a notebook at the ready, because his mind is finally focused on something fun. Quirk analysis.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgWw72Geqb
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVGfy5d7M0
Back in the nurse’s office, a new breed was stirring. On the bed, his body snaps into its final state. No, this is just the first step. He can go so much higher.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnPxovproj
His eyes flutter open, releasing a soft purple and gold glow. But before anyone could notice, it settled back into its normal state.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0o52azCHM
But despite outward appearances, his eyes were different. They were better. All his senses were better. The world looked and felt different.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcVefGCYYw
He was different. But why and how?
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd2g46XKE4
Shinso was finally awake, and he needed answers.
