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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzG0DpwFaB
It felt similar to when she lost control before, but different enough to make her even more worried.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1ma74rH2j
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlit0IXDI7j
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCESbq2EBg
Inko: “Sweetie, what… happened?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wma5VC8QX
Izuku said nothing.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGjVn109p1
All Might: “You’re not in trouble, young Midoriya; we’re just worried.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFchyp3onWk
Izuku: “I know.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglIPnYMz2c
Tatsumaki: “Izu, does this have anything to do with what we talked about?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFebmOmiZf
His eyes widen a little before settling back to normal.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pqbJwwkcZ
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?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZf1Ziz2aU
Izuku: “I didn’t mean to.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkW8WIwaK7
Inko: “We know, sweetie. We know you would never do something like… that… on purpose.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C1kzUcgsj
Izuku: “… All I remember is going unconscious for a second, and the next, he was screaming. I don’t… know what happened.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd4KdI4NNj
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD9Si292cK
Fubuki: “Let’s think about this from another angle. All Might, what quirk does Shinso have?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA7r2h8d9Y
All Might: “Hmmmm, from what I remember, he has the ability to brainwash people.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYitXphFW0W
Fubuki: “That’s… disturbing.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9gqvnCwAx
Tatsumaki: “I think I know what happened.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4s64xmmp5
Izuku: “Y-You do?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xZPqIGHC0
Tatsumaki: “I thought I sensed another psychic signature. It was weak, but there.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcbVgnU3hP
Fubuki: “So Shinso has a quirk related to ours?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieVuW81v3p
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but instead of telekinesis, he focuses on mental attacks.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoUv1kAfoh
Fubuki: ‘I guess that makes sense. Wait, doesn’t that mean I could do that eventually?’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj5UUDEGHk
Inko: “But what does that have to do with Izuku?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ7oySHQy9
Tatsumaki: “Well, I guess Izu’s mind instinctively defended itself.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOUPtCgKC1
Kiri could see Izuku’s shoulder lose some tension. They were on the right track.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0rtMKtRVZ
Inko: “I see! See, sweetie, it’s not your fault.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIWrgyIjgM
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4tj3jkVtU
Izuku: “I’ll… try. I-I’ve already been practicing telepathy with Yaoyorozu.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXcaYBYQjZ
Fubuki: “Really?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ5k0um3sW
Tatsumaki: “That might have been what allowed your mind to fight back like that. More practice could help you have more control.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwyiIgBrz9
Izuku: “I… suppose.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPIsFHlza7
Fubuki: “I can help teach him.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKwiCCm5ut
Tatsumaki: “You? How?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzPxgVG1sZ
Fubuki: “Well… I’ve been recently… learning how to read minds.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xwy5gJFAx
They all look at Fubuki with wide eyes full of surprise.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0PSPBvnFY
Tatsumaki: “You can do that!? Why didn’t you tell me?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFsbLKwIMm
Fubuki crossed her arms and looked away.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Q3pmR6ay
Fubuki: “I didn’t want to until I mastered it. You always said I should train harder; well, I found time.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOZbsLJ7qr
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTcXWQIz4Y
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.’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbClDFDg057
A trick or ability Tatsumaki would master in just a few moments.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh3P79BPGb
Tatsumaki: ‘Ah…’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw49VzmY3Iz
Before that realization could sink in, Fubuki continued.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4cJnbojxW
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyR8RzztLt
Izuku: “… Okay. Thanks, Fubu.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WhQaAMGdv
Fubuki: “Anytime.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtec2BFsnA2
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN3hD5zbdl
Izuku: “They might still be scared.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBDByjxRmi
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk0wquEd5r
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, thanks everyone.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUZwCq35DP
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOlJFAB0wa
Tatsumaki: “You have an impressive classmate, Izu.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dwgsBjPPs
Inko: “W-W-What is that!?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LcMTd28cg
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcIUKjrYEU
Izuku: “Todoroki… ”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDHNp0ZUWj
All Might: “He might have gone a bit overboard.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbBYOZSwSL
Kiri: “Icicle strong. Poor Smile.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FcsM2ZxR2
Fubuki: “Doesn’t that mean you’re up next?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6BGUbjCSw
Kiri: “Ah.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFeM6V1iyB
Inko: “That’s right! Good luck, sweetie!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqAkP7WYES
Kiri: “Ih.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGRxdZ4G5I
Kiri grabs Izuku’s hand and helps him up.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uI7Lcl00k
Kiri: “Cheer for me?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5DNazL3EX
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWPE81CmvP
Kiri: “… Good.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkJnScDW4S
All Might: “I’ll walk young Midoriya to where his class is.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs6lXZHNgr
Fubuki: “I’ll help melt the ice.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKeLX9uiFm
Tatsumaki: “You don’t want me to do it?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMrVW3FGcr
Fubuki: “I can handle it.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpU5OsCDQu
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbJUfsTJ4z
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWYUyglmvc
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSpjR1Ap1D
All Might: “Don’t worry, young Midoriya, it will be alright. Your classmates will not treat you any differently.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOvojmrvh2
Izuku: “I-I know. Doesn’t stop my heart from racing.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7Q4h3rp5L
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvARKzSZMl
Izuku: ‘Not on purpose.’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6UKzSUOi0
All Might: “I’ll go check on Shinso. You cheer on your sister and prepare yourself for your next match.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSVQE7GsZc
Izuku: “R-Right. Thank you, All Might.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3La6NpOoGI
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgTDltBxqm
Mina: “Oh, Midoriya!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7EwKwrM4l
The entire class snaps their heads towards the boy, who instantly freezes.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tsaw4qcZu
Izuku: “H-Hey-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5RDU1r7Yl
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?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF3WXq1v73
Before Izuku could answer, Momo came to the front.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak7pIDPWxH
Momo: “Midoriya, you don’t have to answer if you don’t feel comfortable. We trust you.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a79YwvJPN
Uraraka: “Yeah! But we would still like to know.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh3G0XMGxk
Denki: “For curiosity’s sake.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABhXyWPfFf
Izuku: “T-Thanks e-everyone. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what I know.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIZXadMBG1
And so Izuku explained what he discussed with his family. After hearing the story, they all sighed in relief.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Ub6pUYy6
Ida: “I knew you were not someone who would do something like that on purpose. I’m glad I was not wrong.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtICztWbC2H
Mina: “Yeah, looks like Bakugo was right.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8rsEDbXiY
Izuku: “Kacchan?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOI3wmg6kk
Kirishima: “Yeah, he actually defended you when we were worried. Crazy, huh?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs4F65njYd
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6URckxCV15
Izuku: ‘Is he… changing?’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9fOZ6SGFr
Denki: “Wait a minute!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N8IvEUtwi
Thunder Boy held his hands up before getting everyone back to what’s really important.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCal6F3EFoS
Denki: “Midoriya, are you telling us you spent days training with Yaoyorozu? At her house? Alone!?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZPjXqQ40f
Izuku: “Y-Yes?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD0LVuz1gO
Denki: “You lucky bas-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9HejVV6IQ
His words are cut short by a stab to the neck by Jiro’s ear jacks.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYQdeLpcOf
Denki: “gah!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgj330WXIm
Jiro: “Idiot.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxSZYQSqBV
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfendB0XqF
Momo: ‘Now that Kaminari mentioned it, that was rather bold of me. If Midoriya were a different type of boy, we may have-’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1dFpMvRFR
Tokoyami: “The next match is starting.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UYj0W5hx3
They look at Tokoyami, who was sitting down already, prepared to view the next match.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2C3sFrwM3
Kirishima: “Right! I don’t want to miss this!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBOiVhUC0V
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSBP1uQVxu
Knowing which voice would comment, he immediately shut it down and focused on the match instead.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nq1LZEyor
Izuku: ‘Good luck, Kiri. I know you can do this.’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwRRIwC1Gk
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBoHRyWk7S
Present Mic: “And here we are, folks, MATCH THREE!! Will this one be just as brief as the last two? Let’s find out!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomnVmsgEGZ
Kiri steps to the stage and faces her opponent, Aoi Nogami.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzGSe3KByO
Present Mic: “On one side, we have the silent and incredibly strong girl from the department of heroics, class 1-A, Kiri Tae!!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ502vHlWz3X
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!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi7r5KjgKj
Aoi: “Sad to say, this match will be quick too.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DukleYREO
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY!?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVigR9kWJ6v
Kiri didn’t respond; she got into a fighting position and readied herself.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVGkPFpGWo
Kiri: ‘Onii, watch me!’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmPXTXz0hf
Present Mic: “START!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6XCjyypVq
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SpTPHZKeC
Present Mic: “Oh, will we have a real fight here, folks!?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK5gCM0K5E
If Kiri could sweat, she would be drenched. She tightens her stance and narrows her gaze.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfL6IeZNIk
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZHM3yFfOM
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf0wuYBvlo
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ07byXwCK
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!?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdOwkfBpp7
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLktlHLd75
But clearly, Kiri was a physical powerhouse as well.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHFE4fvwwx
Aoi: ‘Oh, well. Here goes nothing.’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjP6q6ePjM
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4yy6VyzRE
So she goes on the offensive, dashing forward with fist raised, ready to knock the girl out.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrMeuKQAal
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0UOZ0gqCs
But before the blow landed, both her and the stage disappeared.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYDojYQN0h
Everyone: “HUUUUUH!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxZEIMRmgb
Present Mic: “S-S-She teleported the entire stage high into the sky!!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtdz4cZFAb
Kiri’s eyes widen as she sees the green grass feet away. She was… going to lose?
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUde8DpZasD
Kiri: ‘No!’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwylHQUh4UT
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MgUZvPqN5
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzWW7dC9A5
But aside from her body, what else is she always touching but never uses telekinesis on?
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIRQKEGGi0
Kiri: “SMAASH!!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL1Wz8aEOs
Air.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxKvZwtIua
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!
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd7GWXFUkH
She shot straight through the stage, shattering it into several large pieces.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc278KsdCz
Aoi: “Shoot!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4wzrBI83d
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc5MNgaJL4
Present Mic: “Thank you, Tornado, for saving the spectators and Midnight!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9OnvkwwoS
Tatsumaki nods before sitting back down to watch the conclusion of this surprising match.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfz7nMbl5O
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!!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9KsA8WHqp
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXHTMmy7xn
Seeing an opening, Kiri kicks off the air and tackles Aoi.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVhd38F4oS
Aoi: “Ugh!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbNJ0k53xy
They’re both quickly heading to a meeting with the hard ground.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc275EagLK
Seeing this, Aoi teleports back up. But Kiri is still stuck to her like glue. This was it, the dead end.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUDjSx1q5P
She could keep teleporting, but Kiri wouldn’t let go, and Aoi can’t break out of the hold.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapmUDSIZ92
Kiri: “Give. Up.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWhurTS9Cr
Aoi closes her eyes and sighs.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAlEPK7Oke
Aoi: “Okay, you win.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE2VvhFROK
With one last teleport, the two appear, standing on the grass.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxobKACSsa
Aoi: “I give.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVuUfXyZFh
Midnight: “N-Nogami surrenders! Tae advances to round two!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV82sHz1aZy
With the results in, Kiri lets go of Aoi.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQYugVUxHD
Aoi: “Man, you have a tight grip. Thanks for the match.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqwG1TcdP2
Aoi holds out her hand, and Kiri smiles before taking it.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyZ4HQJG6c
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniE4LMwFQs
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPKqn8KLAB
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAFYX84HDD
Denki: “You want to fight that?!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L3dblCW1n
Kirishima nervously chuckles.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayf3yCvdaL
Kirishima: “I have a long way to go. But yeah, I still want to show how far I’ve come as a fighter.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxYuDLCloD
Denki: “Bro, are you an M?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92HLdZOecD
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf77iuNZDN
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KuNBwThLE
Izuku: ‘I know you’re strong, Kiri. But… ’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbv7UIlFSQ
He shakes the depressing thoughts away. This is a festival, right? Everyone should be having fun.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsMaY8MVnl
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-’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVhe3citIM
Good thing Izuku always has a notebook at the ready, because his mind is finally focused on something fun. Quirk analysis.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtNRykkMkP
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkAiFwf2v1
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGk3ec3P9D
His eyes flutter open, releasing a soft purple and gold glow. But before anyone could notice, it settled back into its normal state.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXgbH64RsT
But despite outward appearances, his eyes were different. They were better. All his senses were better. The world looked and felt different.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzZR3cuhH1
He was different. But why and how?
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzpuKaxmxp
Shinso was finally awake, and he needed answers.
