Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Alv4vp57x
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWkTNGlQEH
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!!!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tjGLReLaQ
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO0bcGSOyg
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMlQ5PIKtJ
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazXIBkcNuc
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vmi0BSQ3o
She doesn’t answer.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSeN0Ap0PU
Present Mic: “READY?!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL4rurBkar
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbXlUZZXQo
Present Mic: “START!!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeOt79dqnE
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVugDpznPi
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI55WnC5EcP
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpgVzC6QNM
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXlBE0UyBh
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ERKkFHXrw
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72kKPcIrzD
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w7bowNB3d
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qmqNvdGJd
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW49SnouaUM
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt49wdkhmrD
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwpxXYb3P0
Izuku: “Ugh.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN02UMVyJUK
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9zsOu0Jdz
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGNzQzX0xD
Izuku: “What the-”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmoz0nAPN5
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58kt39NpW8
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKvTvPAZjW
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPrrsJjaI5
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRdHwyQjQV
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU4ZhNQ0Wf
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-
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eV7LhGw1b
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZWDYHEVD7
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXygetPDGuF
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzmrrmnkIn
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!?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxytANzIG2
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pmG2eedt3
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr9lzAyp5r
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXEQ4BEl4Z
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9sCNEbfwR
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAMo79cfOL
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2qkBYoOeB
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBlYcxH0Mz
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAf25Ta2PY
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROYVODXWy1
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDGNjB53Pn
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdkeoVtcaa
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK723vD4IA7
She shouldn’t be winning.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0xzaJquzZ
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDU1zmP9zC
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnaq5Y6F8p
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwr3e69OiD
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvgTeprPx7
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStAcw1LcZv
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfjCOlO8oC
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwSD9s3p0h
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSphfRgMK2
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwMjakACQS
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdnLlWxqJE
Her field breaks.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVmE3QNDlu
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rDJYuCvG7
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr66S5h5OJF
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcBtemRATr
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL3okFhDMm
She’s inches from defeat.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHK4wCzZ1f
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdONxT64qcp
It’s over.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2tiXlSieP
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72q1h2h0XZ
She lost. She’s weaker.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSLxmCWpu4
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx2nXyJzNh
How could someone like her understand him?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W4NJlhBeV
How could he… love someone like her?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyCRniuW07
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVUKfiacxy
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhleCBwX6j
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ9zXosRW4
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf9ECIDeAm
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUW3GGDgip
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgmjOs8cyz
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufbu6bPHNI
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1QqdFDyh1
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqj32tY7S9
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zE5cKiIgw
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi73SDNEPF
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKZgFics8H
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8ErJRnxaB
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EdH9ozDbs
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8mowJUrZ2
Kiri: “… You held back.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnVLAWZhqB
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5WyJyIcau
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ6lD9M9TO
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf7V9C3uS4
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1Uw2yvLvK
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWnorGJBfx
Izuku: “I… ”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pReBtimK1
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?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3DOT2U8oB
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkiEhQRC2Z
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBiskrP6oh
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt33cQdKalW
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXhnAzTMmX
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52RZH7Y096
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGxyYFnykX
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjJd6QSEwx
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KcR9j5g9z
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zhtBTs9V2
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR2v1hkeOD
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU0IgOSwL6
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtNd3lUyek
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzmuoUS8ph
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FH7AWSkkL
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNTHINhyf1
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaQOwvLGGg
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLDvQkIKZN
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAwscqm1VK
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXxd8aN46R
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9NoRydzYZ
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJCE2mJGUl
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa36zrU7eeS
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9v3ZLNXmJ
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHLzwmEXGu
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzwqnt4Vsq
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOjiGYTjN6
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDalammI4mY
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp9H9Yf3Hq
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfKMwdd074
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn5rzrc8vV
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2bIPVcn5C
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-”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9WQDjiXJK
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJllutdtJM
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNGMTjSlu8
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9uimr8NMj
With that, the conversation was over.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0WVu1ZrCF
Fubuki: “Well?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbmjx5AOb5
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVku4I0iiNw
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp8Yse7SdL
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76i6aA16WZ
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnvL1Tar5q
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnPy6BAMr7
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn26gvN5TEB
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV8z4HwQja
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWbcE9GskV
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceSQwZuSAR
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t0SFX4d92
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEuwQh0rfr
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjBkHBnFAA
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.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWN3E1DFOs
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l8Z5nM8KE
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87lPlg1tJI
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlxbvBPMaY
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?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12mdjhudjy
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunHyq3MjFP
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfKXT00hLG
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepPxpERKb6
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqGDTzeETa
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmre4x2P2Wh
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQfcepKy5W
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v41hnwbB9
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JLjUhqzYG
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI0XGWrQpF
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ5OKR3FEg
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXntXQJDoW
Present Mic: “START!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc4eL0DFJR
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsN3lNzeiZ
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GfArcRTZ5
It’s going to hurt, though.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLmmgb6ooO
BOOM!!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Ua0iFkzK
Uraraka: “Ah!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh7pU4agDV
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDlOayzrbz
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKlhfFjr75
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi2DE0NJnS
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdBHF9CRCO
Sabrina: “Loc-”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlig11jdzcu
Too late.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7JNE44SP7
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaCKGqBsHQ
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jq6TLCRhl
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVUkhxVd5X
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShpYw3rexL
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCcl54kSLU
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaxcFXv83A
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdLLHFrr5r
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPuFakweYH
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMd2VNnVNx
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28hgFMZdXJ
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkTGyrbQKX
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
