Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnMYdzguT6
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeswEuxy5N
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!!!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlwxbUbG5K
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg2bMDV3ba
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuQ7zfVD4I
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu7dLxd69y
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCdlcdegh6
She doesn’t answer.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V1mksbFi7
Present Mic: “READY?!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gIIsxfBnp
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQowBryHUx
Present Mic: “START!!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRx1zOCXPC
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKOq3Ymegy
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9YpzI7Usj
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00k4GCgBWL
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG41q9FPXB
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzumf2gn50w
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsOkPULQdz
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixBbLZO2lg
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtVM1mVurJ
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4jLq9h2X1
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0cYA49ami
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM3x83tEk3
Izuku: “Ugh.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVkRJ27UbX
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBWp5do1SG
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y4Oc25Ncu
Izuku: “What the-”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBl9JcOx63
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDGs2w4mYW
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnm3S7hjvq
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAGHqsLd4y
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ICD6LOAVT
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEJFELehNH
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-
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDY5hDvx17
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z8s56RFeN
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN670y7pCNm
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N5S2nPo4I
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!?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRedoArtjE2
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbLpt3JHb9
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMyN6SIRb2
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFShYLl45pQ
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVtl3JL6Ap
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvHvcXSTSJ
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhXMjbyTwH
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGirD8Aug9C
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFif8kp62w
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQVZNBXxGJ
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HacROs5dz
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GHVar4Hne
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtfik5MmMQ
She shouldn’t be winning.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwL4zNnYCv
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrMVzeP0AW
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuTiFGr8fH
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAqcoENlbs
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjvxIjVf5i
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMaDoN26Zk
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrhtLIPBki
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfPbVykcns
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XTBBU2paC
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzM2FYT0wr
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLbqyMHfx6
Her field breaks.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTAy5NdQyP
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc36kkKXFhQ
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ks6UMIN9W
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lxn8jumBW
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HNwftM5B9
She’s inches from defeat.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHddj89hgwW
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsEcdrv6u7
It’s over.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuEgbKt8KH
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB4DOiM5so
She lost. She’s weaker.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd7lRh0O3T
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn5wYA0IRv
How could someone like her understand him?
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeaIbeh1F9
How could he… love someone like her?
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfoLKpWHa9
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWQ5vQfhRS
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r4lcjXoYW
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmXdKkjiRR
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNR0XV6UH4
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG10QBgaN2R
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH88uzsC57
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLgvf6tyQa
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iDyluTGRX
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oDFkzpid6
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rDKjGrcYb
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Izd8IkUoU
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mAUYMlrTa
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYOIZLlNA4
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx9h37IPf6
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NPxlEERw2
Kiri: “… You held back.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xksURs8Hz
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7CKtMwr8o
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlN0wXk3p3
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRMIJd6HXn
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU60K5z1lb
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApFOpqdbdS
Izuku: “I… ”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWJtM7Jd7L
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?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVODfjHlDn
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpStL1Pp6A
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgvKevKAyn
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFxkhL6y6g
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMo2l8R68c
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuylR2GxZFs
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnk87I6flP
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wT3D6cnBE
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP0SBwmM8f
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFyA0eqLJA
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kep9Qn3zf
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNnZBReFJd
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlFbh6VpIn
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnTCmsNX2K
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NvVjwtfy8
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx4xov4x6t
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIoyrK6BOo
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9sD1WWLZL
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlsvWMZ8tl
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsSDFwk6eu
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4bmckXjVu
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUQeQlFlsE
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yuBNxDDYp
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9mcKIA7JH
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TdQo3rBPh
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDTsiCLQ6y
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoJhjCnnfc
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2OBnglfSS
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVPjOTOQgW
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWtfXmNkx8
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxdrd8e16S
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMAM0ftKQr
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-”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ0DWpAQpH
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81YRlnzsgR
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu10CAeOTL
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFA0dNGtJ4
With that, the conversation was over.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHjP7UWAND
Fubuki: “Well?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtAjX5GHKA
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiaRSL255A
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TdG8Kf96D
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQomJNGy4r5
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8nvqI7F1N
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MzLCNoVTV
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU8RlcME1t
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPT9EdDsKO
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjBTroMamf
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe24UQhzCo6
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vkOELS4hm
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhlQjvm1sy
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEbme0Gj6z
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.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC0dqnesiY
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAPanxemI8
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBONOzmmBY
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RT0Lr8dRl
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?
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pOzpR0HA3
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sAfFuZxGl
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1kaodIqVR
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp4VnpQ1An
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9XMpNngKx
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucsWlh5o8x
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa5RjGKFey
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57t7OzkDws
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXXOX4oDIw
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79YLqMaZDv
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyyCnhW7Hq
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbKhkOdfcj
Present Mic: “START!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v4LLTGnI4
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH7pgkJrjP
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlnvgZ84TZ
It’s going to hurt, though.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT0eHb1Wdt
BOOM!!
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpefaIWR8ew
Uraraka: “Ah!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfasurrehG
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bvtLfL1P5
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvCJfdoy2r
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ9kN253x4
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjcpL3Nqok
Sabrina: “Loc-”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GXRjcoBK6
Too late.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeXsZZrBYG
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn29kwjAUN2
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H3ZoQSjDQ
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsak1PI497H
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm76pwiI5p6
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU89OoeHho
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSd72Bq2xt
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghSxOLQtTM
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRGjoNmlwO
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dJGbQeDJ2
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5QbGB0t7C
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz2kO8ZTUi
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
