Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fg1rDB0xF
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wLddlmbYa
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!!!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq6CZP3Gc4
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwN3e2YEfH
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWi5QJBO6Y
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR6iCpdyz8
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU1x2mSXtU
She doesn’t answer.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJaIwZBaCV
Present Mic: “READY?!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbvmoS0OsZ
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bsbcNqi6X
Present Mic: “START!!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFJCgCMBoJ
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrZ4Ps6txn
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfXhSoZ3Ex
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjjBBGwpo8
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJIYNCFp88
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9FGPw3ujb
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtSMz8zJ9P
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfhcSXrQKX
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzzME8ahbN
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTZL9LOA5Y
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYB1XKUHHt
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9B16XRNic
Izuku: “Ugh.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHB15jCbrH
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK3NKsCuqK
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85WkBTAaiq
Izuku: “What the-”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqqrnffnKO
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTUoHeEFGP
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ItiGkYv4N
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVvieTe367
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuDdPfPACD
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBgetYqz90
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-
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p7sevURvJ
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeX2saygZp
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R8Yu1k1Bg
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnonKJcreB
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!?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJJtFGEGGw
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls7RSMX3JU
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02ueEFvaOA
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgz3mJLok2
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl6NiU60r4
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH5yFB6dXC
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbF6zi3SZR
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZFvgmMNvp
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyt7oqh9pb
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWIeD3g7pn
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu9bfDtk7V
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNkU9lcVmG
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYGQr0nQAX
She shouldn’t be winning.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kI7Ozowr9
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoqchobmbf
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrswDv0IbI
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5BBIeK56V
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEavjYlowY
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsPdLt8Qqm
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEeJfczpP4
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HhcLsV0Fw
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMH8XTXHzO
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGotKCdAcX
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tfyYcwy6g
Her field breaks.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6TfLvrjU7
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59JzyQKcPX
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc08hYB2GXI
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ri9L34clS
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7IImTOwnd
She’s inches from defeat.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOtPS74maP
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggRGduffJR
It’s over.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawoCbTZ5e0
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRyF5hAbAx
She lost. She’s weaker.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ow7ioSYLB
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh1aBXHMdg
How could someone like her understand him?
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlAY7wh3RL
How could he… love someone like her?
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHBwfYkq9k
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvrMLxeS2G
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQzNnYNReu
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUukF8MtAVZ
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEwmIRMgJW
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIG4m8I7Px
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQn8aceuT2
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk0zHi4fLO
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ylBKXZoP7
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuCUMbYAmT
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsOwAQrDJ8
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcQoCsU86g
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl8JDN8LEK
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KbDxTfaR0
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7zIFE1yyy
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9S61v4upd
Kiri: “… You held back.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nMgibn0F8
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6dMcQJ1qq
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNk18DKXjh
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iVYkx0pR6
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV75B6TBKk1
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu3pF6IPre
Izuku: “I… ”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmE1lsvYr2
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?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjBLD2sEMe
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKKW9MSwTi
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb1SyXqLvb
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNxt0rXm1Z
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUggDZCvhUY
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFbfHTxKiA
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaJhlKyuYM
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkcTbnsYVQ
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VoIkGhkCz
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg59zvJT8k6
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkycIHoHn1t
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMak5SOUu6
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ768UIPhWvH
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO1GdKPpM8
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWirMGIXc07
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkitrgbAgHi
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XCbUGG71U
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9c5HZhPcF
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu08cDBBTc
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS1OixC8yi
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qMOJPVLuq
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGeGlBiEBT
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEdzO4MojG
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGA2vsMdzQ
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2RpNX7Xgn
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW6nRbtFVo
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2TBeNAiu9
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRjHWeYAa8
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSQiY6O53Q
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkyTRSQQT9
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNc4c1qgzI
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhvsHH6ss4
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-”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG5x06JS8O
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSHrbxtHix
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vjusXsn7B
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSIfqe8Cko
With that, the conversation was over.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFHcHf8LHq
Fubuki: “Well?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrxt1xVs6O
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjRfavgmaD
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6obaWZ4fdj
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtdDiB5Gey
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtUxiGYeM9
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLao8XezCbC
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIec5P2VOq
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSejgaR6c8Q
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckeupTCisq
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7hNIYgvaf
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8tYxAX0v4
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEsYX5dqzg
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrjPlHnEWf
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.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6yeeA1J8C
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ4oJbNJoW
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TQAQK0168
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbp6Juvvih
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?
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs4LnV4gXE
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMletmktlMu
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qxPd6ECyd
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIik9E9ACV
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuNdaTZk0I
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTWuSYIoti
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2APspkaFL
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFxTD5xPgU
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFrUjQu6Hn
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvRSrieBQv
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99m83NtXJl
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu2q73tAnj
Present Mic: “START!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r1mfJwtKs
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUjt8IoNm1
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqItoQ9LEbg
It’s going to hurt, though.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTPE2m8SCl
BOOM!!
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgMC00ADkW
Uraraka: “Ah!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3ewJbNPSW
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlHudFM4lH
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac2UddW1cr
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAnMv3Fdp7
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO09aMGMe8w
Sabrina: “Loc-”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcshsJHJTkQ
Too late.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bRZGqlABa
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCkUCI9eAA
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt3CXN7UqV
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4NYVkhA3j
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSP4sNIXSl
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX09DP2WYEn
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv30GzjHj79
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTdYRaAmwt
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WdtU5cUxi
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdt3cIsrbf
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5PRRuAIf6
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLSGkQ8isR
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
