Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRgcuxe8Jb
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAW1l26e1h
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!!!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMcmlTdGZE
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4rJUelJqr
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo13QSMBym5
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoUBP9vkC6
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV9Yx4Dc4j
She doesn’t answer.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnM0DgdX14
Present Mic: “READY?!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcs9KHwwUH
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFCWoc9BBi
Present Mic: “START!!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ey37cxuCb
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gqc9b9hf9
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCooNG9YuE6
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwSlqPKNcW
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HkseD5b4g
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5jrB2M2wj
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeM3CAk4ac
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgw8R6j5pG
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikwkUynBIZ
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H4j0fD5RM
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpiBLFTbHD
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFPqJT9Zqd
Izuku: “Ugh.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjq8Qh8yrI
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb4eE0qAGW
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVcslsXZ3M
Izuku: “What the-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLYu6kGRd7
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo63lg0lvD
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RaOvEBGPd
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlGKf5oYM6
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3GDqXtF29
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhunBOqlJov
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-
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgKB3p6IVn
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPkElqZanS
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKC7vLBDZM
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7nryxxJ6h
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!?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXUibHf4o8
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf1GFZ3Hhe
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjr3jZX0qN
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyZnZU8ZTh
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6HlMla1ju
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W37A8vWxu
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpy2E7Iup4
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNXadx5jYk
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwUKujx3v5
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzZGvC6PjT
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw2G6ztfil
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtFNxfaXqb
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ANj4oXuoL
She shouldn’t be winning.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpdoNOHBqj
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMOAV8lkmR
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnoLQTePzK
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxunhtY2XoF
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc057yXY3AH
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyAZKTetMN
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdCU6Ra86S
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrySCbLw7Eh
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvn9cRW2SU
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKcrjpfDGC
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4ngfSAT8d
Her field breaks.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXp2cKgDl7
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKRPDEGB6j
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscaBMetNa5
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhFC4LEHWn
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQYFB7gQdv
She’s inches from defeat.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbeKq76H1o
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngDJYqxt56
It’s over.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRe7SwzON2
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj4AsccAwG
She lost. She’s weaker.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKnavHaDUS
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyCbXhP5Ul
How could someone like her understand him?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrHdce82g3
How could he… love someone like her?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDVPsjdsTD
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViaq3vuXiM
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFl4BA8cQv
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHARzj9sXy
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev0tkkH3N9
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4GQhDsXbf
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8AkTWUsMb
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje99cOwHeB
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZMTxPfXvn
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoBFLcubuX
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhGDL5mKA1
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J0IcLfIig
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9y1IPrmxB
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHt7Y6Ja09
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpcbTwLag3
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMtNUHSSnO
Kiri: “… You held back.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIfmhbwTbh
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsVJ9KGUhB
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGmUeuWXDo
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ39LbyrkdI
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcHhv6iRcd
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGfCWQLmUp
Izuku: “I… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn9NwhVwtO
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?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zDTEQ6Mo6
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdhQ0h5S56
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPtzGN6eiF
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypNgjH1Cx9
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt9owyu4C5
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKYivDYArI
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipP56L1Hzt
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyXyrkTO6W
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFu0lfSXHd
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3PfrCEfxM
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseqjDZ0g7q
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0rJZJ7mEp
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8AHeKKzJM
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjXII9bvlH
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPQHUd64tC
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPy2Tehi1t
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3J3gaIjP5
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfhvHrkNtN
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPFlknfVSG
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDOCJ0jdGb
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXdW3EY7KL
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiQ5SbibA5
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2sdprwmT6
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xrVQMpXLw
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E3CT7uLH6
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu2iWXDc7q
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhFV6zHDzg
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9JcObzkpk
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytHlEEOFj9
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPTnoCKMf7
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOPZSGB7BT
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwMVCZkHbG
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-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbXQnNNeOB
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkmW4pfXZr
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiNr9OJw5f
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsvMwY96iL
With that, the conversation was over.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6w7arDOPq
Fubuki: “Well?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciGe1xtUdk
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5RoNqYuGR
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPugiaAX0H
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm4E8OWqDE
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZWir9aZvR
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIJbudBudU
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs9vX7HR38
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eLlMbEAPT
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbnxoXSpqG
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISNXuoHOwK
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjM0L7fIzt
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vqfXBJQoi
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLcOYCq9I5
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.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbc5jLDXml
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvIeYiTPXn
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOV6AbNweb
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBzdN3Ki2p
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?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoijcZcYMd7
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvs9OHev6C
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlpXLtycs1
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3MxsTONDj
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwkA8XdyPi
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLQe6IMv0Q
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs1Zmms35b
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lYBdxKEhF
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ67xuG9myS
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8ontzZKur
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPokRjYL7EW
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9MP3xY1gU
Present Mic: “START!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOCXKQK2EG
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0nvXS3zTR
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlzThbo66g
It’s going to hurt, though.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlNOMahUC3
BOOM!!
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O83acxgyy
Uraraka: “Ah!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7qqwxG9XE
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiveIVnQuOK
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwNxa1GXjz
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMPJOBwQB0
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLpHBtpbzS
Sabrina: “Loc-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzYybrvgIQ
Too late.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuP3bsXH6z
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ93DHkJTc
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PnIxMnScW
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ914u4DYfoP
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXrSuavFqs
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqJM2TflsI
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxzNCdLkF6
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS7ySHbAOT
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jnkMO4OHi
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBJJIQQI9W
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZixI1waeY
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09ftm984ZJ
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
