Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlafllojjDP
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwktovWeHh
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!!!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuSCtBzlD4
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyAFlul5lg
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHSKshcWYR
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQNcUocUuX
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Sw3jXPWrG
She doesn’t answer.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS54Db2DA1h
Present Mic: “READY?!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApVkDklrxg
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE532UHZgsV
Present Mic: “START!!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEbLpmKg16
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYwMErCr7e
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWUeSJKnEn
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0dSNNNYl0
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfldguy9Jwb
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW6wORzOsQ
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrcJVhpIw9
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaXRjL4Gqz
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6OVNHieIK
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI5VNrTPc4
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ejRPaRtAS
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dyBocloXa
Izuku: “Ugh.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4beZmlxmx
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVPvWuOzWT
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLXg1vtlCj
Izuku: “What the-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORUIzc2Ai2
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOTrWQHiuN
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQvIPve5HN
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO9QwfsFxx
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJqAj3C3xk
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmpK95Zmgr
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-
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5pCKsCNIP
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomK0UOCMut
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzjiHFGEyR
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8J8nyzhDO
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!?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAKpCqJHVf
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuckA29weqb
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYNkpAGWwK
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDCZTkOxOh
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmTQImK8I3
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr6zeZTPcZ
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTca3fpaZd
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqZcsQKQxi
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt4m70W1I4
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3j9dU2wkQ
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIOtGUicFV
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLfAHjoHtW
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsqPloSNM4
She shouldn’t be winning.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpl2WRfZ0J
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJPjquBGCW
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2ZaQs0IMB
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiQLYWo8XA
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBv2iqmaqz
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifugCY1Mhs
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GEfq8Js05
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoUuH0B9I1
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5m8P56jIi
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMbv7ppkbq
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxmjBNdGdl
Her field breaks.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rfnUzxdCj
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkquYjHyFU0
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo2PkGSXO8
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupp2FZukGk
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2IowVZfAO
She’s inches from defeat.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡansLvEIMcM
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJrqk3tmNE
It’s over.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgxsQANgSQ
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWiyk94KxZ
She lost. She’s weaker.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1DIVsC33T
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP8EoxlcWi
How could someone like her understand him?
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8MQqqeaeB
How could he… love someone like her?
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjgxqoRqCC
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlYVF7434i
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb8O11pyRw
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntqRElE9yk
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18Jd8B9iDp
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTNvLtkRIT
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3DNM6FV6Q
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMH3G1bI0S
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt2Y9WEr4q
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHGHneb7re
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf3V8gdPpY
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbQ5fIoYeD
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3w2u8xVnR
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJqXSjt9TE
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4zhj6k1DQ
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr7DvAxxCr
Kiri: “… You held back.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi1eHkqKL5
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2pMvO6hio
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWdPf8ZuFq
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxXaXlT5wu
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57KZ33YC5O
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mh79hH35I
Izuku: “I… ”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LxnLmR8vt
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?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGO4HYelCn
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB9zqsMe4F
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AX0zmvHrX
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvABzdqoT49
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j6tuUTsHZ
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLjR42Dy7g
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvrVGYb4BQ
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFUKmFDMAj
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX9TGaf5QS
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirY0YxRAVr
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuIMswJ9k8
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8neuFkJQtU
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSrXmgvfnq
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb5bjirZKm
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy6aCi2LuF
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBKkwsJKfB
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecHUr2iH1G
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmprUCHRkG
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrmtQKyaS4
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxxfifc1Wg
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdepUoaP6i1
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcAAHAiA05
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAsl79dsDY
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeHxu0x0Z6
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD7nDKHBal
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y0LTAdcs8
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv9mXrujwM
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQqJTqNseA
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFfpv6V7jt
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdjsxToyp6
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVs14sn3Po
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TN5EeMMxw
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-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOr43fjLrj
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBYcztsTcK
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzHy5yI8aV
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv2o1rMYLx
With that, the conversation was over.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqOI8wZywq
Fubuki: “Well?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAqHciYYNF
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLViPfEOwy
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBVzmfanc3
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16HOhZtSal
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbihC0CuLso
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3hD4yjjkL
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY6qDUhHSx
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNb9E9M4pU
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Wt8MO2dd
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyysCLnSAjX
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVtLCKMlAW
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqP8YxxZoc
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJUImk618n
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.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemRSUiSNza
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ryrkUDSqv
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0sVYsTWa9
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTJNSXJRTy
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?
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QSpGs8d58
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhGN3SBeCc
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36wNp4vtZE
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf3Xz69hV4
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHwr3q6jmq
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCMmwla0pZ
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o9BYHB5yw
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRS1jjUJgP
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV8zg3fn2J
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwFqv4dbTn
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwzTvbHfFN
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Fp8aqleE
Present Mic: “START!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpafQg76MfE
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EGkpsj0Oe
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wj1NZusis
It’s going to hurt, though.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkEF0TN4pJ
BOOM!!
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X5lm4gNd9
Uraraka: “Ah!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJBSDZsiL3
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpJWhb6CrT
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnTbXUdxKk
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl97J7i0VmB
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7QuckZ2y3
Sabrina: “Loc-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhGxzbL3nV
Too late.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1TpHWcmdC
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHogbQPNz6
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjzihVWxCG
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuKv6TvAie
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUVGmBM6Mx
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNatdY1WYXP
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6SjZpGnvU
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhBuBHKdoI
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk67GuCGhXL
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfjDWoR57Z
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35WStfKUu5
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFgHKkraiu
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
