Before the exercise ended, Bakugo woke up in the nurse’s office. His head still hurts a bit. Whoever hit him is going to pay, but first, he needs to take stock of his location.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh2kWYB5Vm
To his right was a snoring Kirishima. He was a bit banged up, but he seemed fine. But to his left was…Deku.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZZXe9CBns
He looks fine, but for whatever reason, he’s still unconscious. But for once, he’s not his focus. It was his girlfriend who was staring daggers at him.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamN2IVo4iu
Now it was clear who knocked him out.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD5lGPRuh6
Bakugo: “You!”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHrLzbloOS
Kiri: “Me.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ1IWn2qek
Before Bakugo could start something, the door opened to reveal Recovery Girl.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4w3VW0PP5
Recovery Girl: “No! No fighting in my office, do you two understand?!”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotEKSmjqaq
Bakugo: “Tch.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFHsB8Y6M2
Kiri: “Fine.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVgHWEmKcU
Recovery Girl: “Good grief. Instead of being ready to fight, you should be counting your blessings. You could’ve been in a far worse state.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHqk2rWGPf
Bakugo: “Ha, Deku was the one in danger. I won our fight!”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPrYht58EN
Kiri: “No, you didn’t.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzQ8LJy9LI
Bakugo: “What the fuck did you say, ghost girl!?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbJ8GJpTaU
Kiri: “That you’re a sore loser, bomb boy.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPxO8CoHfG
Bakugo: “Why you-”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zdFaBg4DA
Recovery Girl: “She’s right, you know. You might have died if not for Midoriya.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdBeFMdQEd
Bakugo: “What the hell are you talking about!? I won our fight! I was barely damaged!”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvdoEM5bay
Recovery Girl: “That’s because he shielded you during the clash.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIldqu6KFV
His eyes became pinpricks as she said that. It…couldn’t be.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vCMA8BSVa
Bakugo: ‘He… what?’
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyfcKvL2uq
Recovery Girl: “I was also watching the battles, and a few seconds before the explosion, a green shield enveloped you.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuxEoYLvGF
Bakugo: “No… why would he-”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYS5RrXWLh
Kiri: “You don’t deserve his kindness. You’re no better than a villain, lower than scum. You’re the one who deserves to di-”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0ZcqMSWkn
Recovery Girl: “Let’s not be so hasty to wish death on another, Tae. He’s still just a kid.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9en66g1mwN
Kiri: “…No excuses.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4goTsjqj9
The fact Recovery Girl is speaking to Kiri as if she’s an adult didn’t register. Instead, it was the cold hard facts of the battle.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC70hGWGlq2
Bakugo: ‘If that’s true, then… I didn’t win. Not even close.’
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNBqx0bm1i
Bakugo: ‘Despite going all out, I-I… lost to… Deku!?’
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGwixl4fG9
The young boy began to hyperventilate. The world didn’t make sense anymore. Even when he’s a pebble, even when Bakugo beats on him, Deku refuses to give up or leave him be.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6NPP9FaMJ
Yet again, Deku shows concern for him when he doesn’t need it.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDZ4lwbDl9
Or deserve it.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx1AssAHaX
He can’t accept that stray thought, not yet. Instead, one cornerstone is crumbling.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRc4OgC1ER
Bakugo: ‘He’s… not a pebble anymore.’
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNN3WbHlj7
This fact is undeniable. Deku is no longer a mere pebble but a peer, a proper obstacle in his path.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1kuVWNPiV
But with a quirk like his, with his rate of growth, won’t their positions reverse?
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC40Dul0GW
The idea of being a pebble to the one he once disregarded and, at one time, cared for as a weak but loyal friend, it was too much.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiHSctr5o6
If not for Recovery Girl’s words, he would have shattered.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuMGavR9hY
Recovery Girl: “It would seem the exercise has concluded with the villain's victory, and everyone is returning to class. You are free to join them for the review.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybfP75l4TY
Bakugo escaped his self-destructive spiral, but he had little strength to do much else. He got up, walked out, headed to the classroom and sat at his desk.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw3ZOAX904
In silence.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KF8o4qGIn
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEuluQjqM2
Phoenix: “Here you are, again.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjNeB0xU9z
Izuku was floating in a void filled with stars and again looked up at those enormous green orbs.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0cGYlhWiD
Izuku: “Haha, I guess Kacchan’s attack was stronger than I thought.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBrcKgGQ4P
Phoenix: “You weren’t damaged that badly.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBycBGYmFD
Izuku: “Then… why am I here? Is there something wrong?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXVvv7Onfv
Phoenix: “Not at the moment. Just a small concern.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4XW0n0jXh
Izuku: “What?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD3ePY0MU6
Phoenix: “Why did you defend that child?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPOxykedRt
Izuku: “Because… despite everything, I still don’t want to severely hurt Kacchan. I was… unsure if I could fully control Psi Explosion.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzewCJ1IJXI
Phoenix: “So it’s okay for him to severely harm you?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpEsCQ4GNI
Izuku: “…”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTsZOvNPbq
Phoenix: “For what is coming, you’ll need to know which bridges to cross and which to burn. You must avoid baggage. The enemy will use it against you.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMONl8X4fF
Izuku: “Kacchan is not baggage! Besides, what enemy are you talking about? Is it some villain?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzuMtEsJ1N
Phoenix: “In a way. I foresee villains of this world will play a major role in what is come. But the future is ever shifting. You must be ready. Continue to grow strong; I’m counting on you.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7n3ud5sVW
Izuku: “R-Right.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJhqpIjZh0
Like before, the space begins to shake and collapse.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqoZ3eArxb
It’s time to wake up.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG0WZFA7yf
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Zcc3mYtm
It took all she had to stop herself. It would be so easy to pop his head open like a-
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4SVlfADR1
No! That’s not heroic!
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMVDwOG73k
But he hurt onii-chan! MY ONII-CHAN!
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WmSqANbkL
Kiri placed a hand on her forehead; it ached with some foreign emotion. But as she looked down at her beloved, it eased. As long as she was with him, and he accepted her, she would be happy.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq6oC2HBiV
Nothing else mattered.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4A2NXGwgP
She stroked his hair and smiled. She loved him. She really did.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUFb4Yxp3R
Then that strange feeling emerged in her chest again, stronger and more positive this time. It was warm and pleasant. Her eyes wandered to his lips, and an urge to touch them with her own slipped into her mind.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeV61emx7X
She didn’t know why or what this meant. But she wanted to do it. So she slowly leaned down and closed her eyes.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdHSgouWCF
Izuku: “Mmmm.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbmn0z6eec
For whatever reason, Kiri quickly backed away when she heard him waking up.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYME42YhLE
Kiri: “I-Izuku?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTAy3r9pGm
Izuku: “Kiri, where am I? And… why are you blushing?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhZQ0678O2
Kiri: “Blushing?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzKNBLlpMV
Izuku: “Your face is red.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn6Vq9SePf
Kiri: “I-I don’t know.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lnjsQFC6y
Recovery Girl: “You’re finally awake; good. Everyone is waiting for you in the classroom.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrWa23yUEP
The two looked at Recovery Girl, who was sitting on a chair nearby. Whether she saw what Kiri was going to do, is unknown.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4y4pvo0Vm
Izuku: “So the exercise is over? Who won?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxNaOOEUow
Recovery Girl: “Villains.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCqDVNkWnn
Izuku: “O-Oh.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71MegXT5UI
Kiri could already feel him blaming himself. She grabbed his hand.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44eKhEZ2MA
Kiri: “It’s not your fault.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLaRnHJdKA
Izuku: “But if I tried harder and beat Kacchan… ”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTdne1Ft1l
Kiri: “Doesn’t… mean you should blame yourself. You did the best you could. Exercise… a team effort. Shouldn’t… carry all the burden.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBntLDtDY2N
Izuku smiles at her, a sight that deepens the red in her cheeks.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5evxjrPaZf
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAC5yVDH1Z
She feels his thumb rub the top of her hand. She returns the smile and suppresses the urge to touch his lips again.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bnluKNzGT
Recovery Girl: “Aw, you two are adorable.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJkbDvRfpH
Kiri: “Nh.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSHK89gaso
Izuku doesn’t even try to argue this time. He’ll clear it up soon, but right now he should get back to class.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfwSWEOmgB
Izuku: “So we’re free to go?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz89OTWFVcf
Recovery Girl: “Yep, your flames did most of the work. It’s actually strange that you didn’t wake up sooner.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwF6URw3vQ
Izuku: “Haha, y-yeah, strange. Let’s go, Kiri.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSNA4CmDID
Kiri: “Nh.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgYE6hkUwp
The two left the office and began the short walk back to class. All the while, Kiri held onto Izuku’s hand. But, she wanted more. So she leaned her head on his shoulder, nuzzling it.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFscxUS8FU
Izuku: “You’re being very… affectionate.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGwWskYY6K
Kiri: “Nh. I… like it. Do… you?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6RbsMOvSm
Izuku: “I… don’t mind it. But I don’t want the misunderstanding to continue.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlZYLh3sgq
Kiri: “…Would it…be so bad?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMbqOLObUQ
Izuku: “Kiri, we talked about this.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan5DXKjvCk
Kiri: “…I know. But… at home?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzXUWT13pt
Izuku sighed but accepted her proposal. There’s nothing wrong with simple affectionate gestures between siblings. What’s the worst that can happen?
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa1Nv0CKfd
Izuku: “That’s fine.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Jz5LC1dA
Kiri: “… Okay.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0cYYM3FoX
She can accept that, for now. So she removes her hand and head from her beloved onii-chan. The warmth was gone but only for a while. The school day was almost over after all.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAipQxaWxj
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7C2nyxaro
After remembering to change back into their school uniforms, the duo opened the door to the classroom. Everyone was sitting down except for Aizawa, who seemed ready to leave.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkxFYeEHZy
Aizawa: “Finally here, sit down.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthEPvhI2W3
Izuku could tell some people wanted to talk to him. Either about the epic fight or just because they were worried. But Aizawa’s presence shut that stuff down; he wanted to get this done and go to sleep.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprhOqBnNzL
Aizawa: “I saw the footage and took the liberty of looking at all of your evaluations. You can look at them at your own time, but there are some things to discuss.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWFDtnD3TR
Aizawa: “First, who do you all did the best in this exercise?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9xk6WYFwT
“Yaoyorozu!”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS7OEkBPxA
Momo: “Achoo!”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9ctcFxcua
The answer was immediate. So much so, that the now-sick Momo couldn’t register it right away.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1E8Uh4wqu
Momo: “W-Wait, me?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW8FKCKDZo
Jiro: “Yeah, you did great.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOStjDr7Pz
Ida: “A true hero we all can learn from!”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3N8KzAHjM
Mina: “You were so cool, Yaomomo.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1wTSXaTlW
Momo: “But I… lost. How could I have the highest marks? I think Todoroki deserves it more.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNs2yLh26s
Aizawa: “Yes, but you demonstrated the traits every hero should have. Prioritizing the safety of the citizens and a strong will. Even when the odds were against you, you fought on anyway.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ExEDp0mm1
Momo: “I… don’t know what to say.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD9fJ4GvAZ
Izuku: “He’s right; you even came up with the plan. It didn’t work because I… messed up.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslozKf7uA5
Sero & Uraraka: “We did too.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEPwJNLd3E
Izuku: “But the plan was solid. You were the most heroic person in the field. Don’t doubt that.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrbRIyAJwu
Momo: “T-Thank you, Midoriya. I appreciate it.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFJs8Fcke2
He gives him a sweet smile that nearly makes the poor boy blush. But the moment was interrupted by Aizawa.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv6tPctVU8
Aizawa: “Speaking of mess ups, Midoriya and Bakugo.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSQVIEKjmK
The two stiffened up when their names were called.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaemHa1y2s
Aizawa: “Everyone, except maybe Tae, who was more interested in training Kirishima,-”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgy6BFFERe
Kirishima: “Thanks by the way.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcLUSG601h
Kiri: “Nh.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDvKPxHAGR
Aizawa: “-Understood the spirit of exercise. But you two clearly have unresolved issues. We won’t ask you to get along, but it has no place in hero work.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEONAONw56T
Aizawa: “During your overly destructive battle, you almost hurt one of your classmates. If it weren’t for Kaminari, Jiro could have been seriously hurt or even killed. Do you understand?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofa82irPPa
The two could only nod; Izuku couldn’t even look in the direction of Jiro. More than anything, he felt shame that he failed to be the hero he swore to be.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxGah6msKe
As for Jiro, she felt a bit upset at both of them. But she won’t hold it against Izuku; he seems like a good guy who just made a mistake.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEwVA94GVa
Jiro: ‘Don’t know about Bakugo. He was clearly the aggressor in that fight.’
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq9rl3vMl4
Aizawa: “I expect better from both of you. This isn’t a schoolyard fight anymore; this is the real world. Take better care to keep track of your surroundings.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICBrWBpxTf
They nodded once more.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfQKgoHpM5
Aizawa: “Good, now, I’m tired. Class dismissed.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXKn6Ogrg8
The class dispersed mostly silently, the somber atmosphere discouraging any jovial antics.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGUeCxxvjl
But before leaving, Izuku does what he has to do. He goes to Jiro and bows.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTtuoSIJLz
Izuku: “I’m sorry! There is no excuse; I should have noticed you or kept the collateral damage to a minimum. I’m sorry!”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX9j7Ts5m2
Jiro: “Dude, it’s fine. Just be more careful next time, okay?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk1Gu04hrn
Izuku: “Of course! I won’t let something like that happen again. See you tomorrow, Jiro.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P19ePmbnV
With that done, Izuku ran back to Kiri, who was waiting for him nearby. Didn’t erase the guilt, only motivated him further to do better. So others won’t be burdened by his existence, never again.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWypKNmJope
He didn’t notice Kiri furrowing her brows, feeling her beloved depressing thoughts.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cEO2UuOOD
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdNYpsBeuH
Bakugo was walking out of the school lifelessly. But as he sees Deku and Kiri walk ahead of him, ignoring him, it brought it all back.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9qdH6jrDI
The idea that he doesn’t matter anymore. That he is the pebble instead. He couldn’t stand it!
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWJswRuXeY
Bakugo: “Deku!”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8RrX7oaS0
Kiri turned around and glared at Bakugo. It was one filled with so much bloodlust, that even Bakugo had to take a step back. But it faded instantly when Deku gently pushed her aside to face him.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXplaekjral
Izuku: “Kacchan.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MfaCCcSPN
They stared each other down for a moment before Bakugo broke down first.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkpNUknV3Y
Bakugo: “Why?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjQr44urct
Izuku: “What?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPVVNq0toO
Bakugo: “Why did you protect me, damn it!? Do you think I’m weak? Do you think I couldn’t handle your attack?! Do you think so little of me!?”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bzfwDzDnP
For the first time, Izuku snapped. Good thing everyone else was already gone, because he has words.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4NUmEZ1RW
Izuku: “And what if I do?! You’ve looked down on me for years, all because I didn’t have a quirk. Well, guess what? I have one now; I was a late bloomer, and my quirk is powerful! I have every right to think less of you!”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9Rhn9Qsyc
Bakugo was stunned. Deku, scared little Deku, the one who always followed behind him, said something like that.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9cQe13AT0
Izuku: “But… that’s not who I am. I don’t think you’re less than me, I’m not you. I know you’re not weak; you’re still one of the strongest people I know. But I shielded you because, even now, I don’t want to severely hurt you.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9AW4MviqE
Bakugo wants to scoff, to say that Deku couldn’t hurt him that badly. But something is stuck in his throat; that lie couldn’t emerge.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVckErdltVK
Izuku: “That’s what has changed, Kacchan, I’m not weak anymore. I’m not a quirkless pebble.”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Q8yl4n4N
Bakugo: “You-”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANVtpZCGb5
Izuku: “But that doesn’t mean you’re below me either. We’re both after the same dream, right?! Being the number 1 hero! And next time, I’ll beat you for real to prove I can be number 1!”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AVrPPgqdE
Bakugo: “Huh?! You’ll beat me for real?! Today, you did beat me, ass-clown!! But…that doesn’t change anything!”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5myoBlCpe
Bakugo: “You’re listening?! From here on out, I’ll never lose to you again! I’m gonna be the number 1 hero, not you! I’ll even surpass All Might! Just watch me!”
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUNLDZOVQK
Bakugo stormed off, making sure to hide the tears coming out of his eyes.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYSi0TeDfV
Deku looks on and… smiles. For an instant, the Kacchan he admired returned. The symbol of victory and indomitable will.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d7uUoEkbP
He won’t forgive Kacchan for everything he has done to him. But everyone deserves a second chance, right?
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClmBgp6BxK
After all, they are finally on the same level playing field.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36YeY7uQ9G
But not everyone feels the same; Kiri watched the scene and felt… disgust.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxZ2Ohyjph
How could her beloved onii-chan still care for that lowlife?! Regardless of what he thinks, she will deal with the problem if it acts up again.
