Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWJfJVjEQV
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYebgiH2qE
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!!!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQDxhhCeTO
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYDMsknsYl
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUkjEemYjZ
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFay8s2AOmS
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lv9HC2vg4
She doesn’t answer.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyPWHSHfYL
Present Mic: “READY?!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs2rlIwJhR
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sweYpatp3
Present Mic: “START!!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepebxU9FXx
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm023gYbkgx
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDFR37VVOe
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI5MUkgVEH
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GOpgUNnzI
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8PC8PtuK8
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSToGS9CvCs
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBjt5UaFkg
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dv85VHBFg
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gKpS97kBQ
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza9FTzbOC0
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GBHtjsZUx
Izuku: “Ugh.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhI6TuD1O2
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZCftshjCi
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr8yv6iocR
Izuku: “What the-”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp8yU0BdVW
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW5qxKsCXv
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiYoHj1X58
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCucCmLPvAK
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncoEKttfg1
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlznbGiOlhO
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-
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtosbz54lUK
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5aLNYZcXB
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f3Fpkdxiw
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaYVxc1CpV
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!?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUlswXn5WN
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIPKW1kpcb
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWgKzVS0kJ
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVxbnp9dB6
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJBGhVkMtE
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS8T01jPzI
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y4OlXcZlJ
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOjYwTbLrU
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE7qPpAgab
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlar0foIob
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ck2L85jza
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPwVxerdfO
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4LojaNYEZ
She shouldn’t be winning.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1ofMiWLth
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFAZMCGf9z
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vDdOiZuva
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XWRdtib2Q
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOzqlDeZ15
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8bB2xXmP0
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5xIyzsEsU
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0E4VI7lQI
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITFrgbdIfw
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxjaguBidF
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7zOkiKPZM
Her field breaks.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzuCa18Dqi
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ELUfF2orE
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L19KYEo6W
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUhqEiq0pS
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM2Kez04ra
She’s inches from defeat.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8LRg3g94n
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeImtqlI4de
It’s over.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyQ6tCLsQ2
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqgjNxI6Cz
She lost. She’s weaker.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCky6vaFem
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1mlm2RCBr
How could someone like her understand him?
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WZDwuUWh8
How could he… love someone like her?
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GVChSSyvv
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RbbzUdeRw
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwPhRuUViS
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63FR0iEaUo
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXPfZmrUoz
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd76CW76N8
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRBE748hCk
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKfijkj5CH
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvJYU37lLT
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wQYxn6fFb
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXvBPWimu2
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSKxcBXpv8
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg9sdwArL6
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzIm364Hij
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MSOoLQciF
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0cdSU8fL3
Kiri: “… You held back.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7nSbLAlnw
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLzTxiwoSG
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThFNfhRsDc
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIULZSmgTP
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuofMz3AHKi
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvapdZhB4Tl
Izuku: “I… ”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsiR0PSvGF
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?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI1Nb8MDOS
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBmdIkVLts
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTJt1sUYRG
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dKsGlMHdp
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7wLv0cGtm
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bVxpROpzP
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7emMiOrFPh
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zIKlcRZiG
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m3yZYuMkJ
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrOoe1A8bg
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg184PCdfn
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQHpRw0YNT
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4009wRKYFN
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF772Aa7rnd
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBSuWB4EMQ
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiKDZhgr7W
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIU4dcZsjk
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EcSUMjVY8
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41t1Ae2iBM
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfbUN6i6fZ
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFRYxLPpQe
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNmJAVbBp4
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvH2YaJCU8
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7A3KdJQcE
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jEoR15uYU
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IZdi98aey
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNIwUhGwLE
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxPuXN8Df9
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmjEPK5YYT
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnxaCauN8Z
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY3Wmigiib
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQg1fgHHBA
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-”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxpg8DhOtl
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqgaku3f9a
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHnnY9LjPf
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMO0OxXvVL
With that, the conversation was over.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpLUqQdbzW
Fubuki: “Well?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiDAvqfk63
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU1Wkbf2ue
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtBkz1XWfB
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3KP6V6kRj
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X9wVnArN9
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG4YV01KdJ
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBMn1h5SH2
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzqIX2JPgr
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPkmzSsvtp
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdbDzSSSny
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG3iN2bRFT
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rHUoWuA1a
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7wMJPRuIE
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTdSEdDZwu
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4zRuk8eF2
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSmV9UBjE1
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y4I13AKAq
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?
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhziO5try3j
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctCw6PMkAZ
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X797uPySW
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1UTI0svor
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplcGXjsSyU
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvWIT5kgND
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpBzfy4XUx
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDct7hFGDS
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FKoicjngB
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsv6k4787V
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXucwPffDy
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6PmS61qJg
Present Mic: “START!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJcsdjS8Oe
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OXiJBcpiH
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpy5KMPzoK
It’s going to hurt, though.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUYvMe8XIC
BOOM!!
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dn66wbv0P
Uraraka: “Ah!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtcc4PIlgZ
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHsC1bXec8
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMMwDIsGSO
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaXwrkCv2I
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fXfCUFFlc
Sabrina: “Loc-”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC4gCIAeCl
Too late.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKdWxegSbq
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieCGj07LZ6
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJVsDXhLQl
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrRLTeAOtg
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr27Q8Oqbe
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBY7SqTHSF
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZVbngKhTk
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBsKVs9KLe
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNar64FfZP3
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx213R5wqC
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc5vCOnAth
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnSghezjtO
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
