Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyvysu5UQV
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsBIcAOSR3
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!!!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6M01OYApd
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTY3y2J1Nf
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h3VTH2qSY
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI5V18YwSs
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs90GyQ7yaj
She doesn’t answer.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kKKiZp4ex
Present Mic: “READY?!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTBCGVjoom
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMH7UGEeIn
Present Mic: “START!!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wFQf6gdNU
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqfmDSOJ6x
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvhax5rYTB
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJdWjnd1aQ
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iRC2meASt
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIci1EEZ43
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ26feXd0i
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEzHhLAG3W
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtLXfVADxR
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVjgkSG30A
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBcqKKN2O8
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9uh6vZiUH
Izuku: “Ugh.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjOf6bNiUc
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNiqctRHZd
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6wVxQcPzy
Izuku: “What the-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgORXLDHBRl
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiGERyB2EV
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNZT4519PF
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVofDlCbhB
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBh7bJrQ3A
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJFMZtmS40
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-
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhTA3WsqUP
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsN2jXKScO
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV51H4GNef
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiiMm4x91O
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!?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zn1zM8mEz
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd3TRhXTQj
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFBd14YvIi
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx79Uv5YdQ
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpzTAM1PwU
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G7F5ry1G9
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd36qAB0R6z
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAsoblwoxx
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhfMWJLD0C
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEGBYsG63a
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4KlIGcFdB
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bM3InbzZm
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDOJpAqT94
She shouldn’t be winning.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGkocsEbFG
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgl4oQnm3v
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRawykayB0
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20g3Bekv0E
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBNC2PlBc7
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ0qlaUwyC
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ155aadGE
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C3fY2GMws
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8EuqgieF3
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAysilPZky6
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPTa5yN02H
Her field breaks.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq6DUZOil9
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EawtPNlPJ
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP5nYjADtP
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHaIQI7fvA
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2uPIvBBRv
She’s inches from defeat.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF629WfCiEW
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ944wzPqnSo
It’s over.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oJt7p0s8B
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEkAyAtf1w
She lost. She’s weaker.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkPjxnShzf
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDgFtXQMsM
How could someone like her understand him?
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjiQKrUKxD
How could he… love someone like her?
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULU1pF3VG7
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo5q6Tke0g
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDraI2aj7L
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk8iuvrRGc
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DXfa5KFbA
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2ztOtZ0u0
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEXqf466Q5
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fcGo9CamN
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0UxQrvYQ3
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczDfYSQXhr
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T5PiZVRBe
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys9aIRzxtl
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aiIPGnaC9
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYbZTvCHq8
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW5mVRxnDo
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWw1qYWtxk
Kiri: “… You held back.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi4hvIqrui
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQzAWecaSf
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJkTiutbVp
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflE121rzR7
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfWEaFqpvf
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIy2ZExjPX
Izuku: “I… ”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFquTB8tmYB
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?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7gws7b0uU
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI2ExxlQUR
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPefTzJy8Iv
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo2xx2MCu5
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGExYqU8mU
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw22LrjF23
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK63Is7olGH
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahqlvQmD7e
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirMU8k1jFw
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDMWwYfW3j
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHG2d1hoXG
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBVfDDpK2u
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRUPWdAX9Z
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9SIX44muu
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAwdoT819C
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynYkqnm2dR
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyLZhQPocn
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RtF7cTEdj
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zR9Er7BaJ
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPrwY0seZJ
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm9T8CBTJN
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMZKmZbeNK
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZaBwBx3ha
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PCu0g3K8R
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsoxnZ0wbZ
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYGEMmoPCv
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKop6n74zx
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX7aSMxJ1M
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNQaDbUSip
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbQEngTRcv
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmwNk6agFa
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PuElZNU67
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-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrDGo5Siko
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRNdsbCsWe
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoep6257cib
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnnsYlz6PE
With that, the conversation was over.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm5nOfdc1q
Fubuki: “Well?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzhav9Th2a
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalVjCoUoff
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg8NL3ITFA
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g7WDrjV1q
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHpSp9dMmC
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBCROCYddV
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAlPX6cAt8
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGMKPPXpFN
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cPCSqFmro
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqbSG7isWF
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8rx6bAm9C
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN8VCDOiGQ
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hna4wDeDm
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.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuHDKEnCu3
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL4KG1a7xN
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo9BB3gaHa
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfqi8LT6YK
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?
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHgjbBFBl1
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxVV7OSzBY
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdLOd6hk7q
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3yP5y8d4F
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5SXO4hwwh
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ3CX6ttYi
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ2gveLtBy
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhj0UJ0xr5
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcyGIHmoLk
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlmtCD8yl3
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JWJuUeUIv
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYbqct2Phj
Present Mic: “START!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcxXYoZZDb
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWlQ2SiqIv
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbcRqIbzed
It’s going to hurt, though.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNaD37RU6b
BOOM!!
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI9jgTH4Ky
Uraraka: “Ah!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq64mpFoNc
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMltcxcUih
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzfCfRdxej
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUu9fpXFcr
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt2dNRXBV9
Sabrina: “Loc-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjddQ9KEy7o
Too late.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiB1imFH2S
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGlyeB6QJ0
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7nWhnfLno
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJW2BZ3mkg
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIh1ey1Mvp
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMbbur1g6D
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH5D8xQY7j
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8yjDYjXI9
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDJQdWm9iI
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJcewwxmp5
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdtDBcl5KX
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWrT4uYnFk
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
