Kiri is usually very perceptive to the changes within Izuku, but not this time. Whatever happened was too quick, too sudden, for her to fully grasp.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY0uxTqRLu
It felt similar to when she lost control before, but different enough to make her even more worried.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPeKxDptfX
As soon as Shinso fell unconscious, she knew her sisters would want some answers. So she left her class and made her way to where they were.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1mvPQnMuI
It didn’t take long for the whole family to convene; even All Might was there. They all looked at Izuku who had his head downcast. Inko sat next to him, rubbing his back.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3HAkFiBoP
Inko: “Sweetie, what… happened?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLecpx7JAs
Izuku said nothing.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qc0q6LeKl
All Might: “You’re not in trouble, young Midoriya; we’re just worried.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYjJTSp11N
Izuku: “I know.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDjxuSBIC2
Tatsumaki: “Izu, does this have anything to do with what we talked about?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0W7HPDcB0
His eyes widen a little before settling back to normal.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTmboAbHUe
Tatsumaki: “I see. The first step in learning how not to fear your quirk is to understand it. So, what did you do to the boy?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM4zmjUADu
Izuku: “I didn’t mean to.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFS9f8ugJq
Inko: “We know, sweetie. We know you would never do something like… that… on purpose.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFjQp57nLy
Izuku: “… All I remember is going unconscious for a second, and the next, he was screaming. I don’t… know what happened.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8o4n3ZvDv
They all could tell that last part was a lie. Maybe he doesn’t know exactly what happened, but he has an idea. This only increased their worry.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA5IISlrmH
Fubuki: “Let’s think about this from another angle. All Might, what quirk does Shinso have?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHJqzFieEB
All Might: “Hmmmm, from what I remember, he has the ability to brainwash people.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgqCQFTrSl
Fubuki: “That’s… disturbing.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGLDPxDUpT
Tatsumaki: “I think I know what happened.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPpeSHXUHh
Izuku: “Y-You do?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSNoldKwcJ
Tatsumaki: “I thought I sensed another psychic signature. It was weak, but there.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8FJBk1Dnn
Fubuki: “So Shinso has a quirk related to ours?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEASZkKWtZ
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but instead of telekinesis, he focuses on mental attacks.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxUZMLINHj
Fubuki: ‘I guess that makes sense. Wait, doesn’t that mean I could do that eventually?’
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI5B0l19Xf
Inko: “But what does that have to do with Izuku?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkgFfGkL4G
Tatsumaki: “Well, I guess Izu’s mind instinctively defended itself.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum4ZdVJ8LB
Kiri could see Izuku’s shoulder lose some tension. They were on the right track.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjsPc2hbPH
Inko: “I see! See, sweetie, it’s not your fault.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTf78R03Kv
All Might: “She’s right, young Midoriya; don’t let what happened get to you. Young Shinso will be alright; Recovery Girl is on the case. In the meantime, you need to get this side of your quirk under control.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo27jbSB1zi
Izuku: “I’ll… try. I-I’ve already been practicing telepathy with Yaoyorozu.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1EyjgJEJn
Fubuki: “Really?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi9NjQIuvL
Tatsumaki: “That might have been what allowed your mind to fight back like that. More practice could help you have more control.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqOXStgaS6
Izuku: “I… suppose.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwmbYSZreB
Fubuki: “I can help teach him.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RvvQCRINr
Tatsumaki: “You? How?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg2w2Lj8rZ
Fubuki: “Well… I’ve been recently… learning how to read minds.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7srarlWOm
They all look at Fubuki with wide eyes full of surprise.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGovM2t5gvh
Tatsumaki: “You can do that!? Why didn’t you tell me?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR9V1skAIV
Fubuki crossed her arms and looked away.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSJFrA3yhQ
Fubuki: “I didn’t want to until I mastered it. You always said I should train harder; well, I found time.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRVfYWXULk
Yeah, Tatsumaki always said that. Put the agency on the back burner and train harder. That way, Fubuki can stand proudly beside her at the top. But for some reason, this didn’t put a smile on her face.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqet1vLtIxd
Tatsumaki: ‘Why would she hide it from me? She used to be so excited to share when she learned a new trick with her quirk.’
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTguP0MkTf
A trick or ability Tatsumaki would master in just a few moments.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstLVJtXtFe
Tatsumaki: ‘Ah…’
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILdChLqkQm
Before that realization could sink in, Fubuki continued.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC33lDfr99O
Fubuki: “So, Izu, if you need help, come to me. We can help each other master this ability so we don’t hurt anyone on accident.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSy51yDh6B
Izuku: “… Okay. Thanks, Fubu.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B7DHfYPbq
Fubuki: “Anytime.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyKwoszsO5
All Might: “Great! I’m glad you all have sorted this out. I’ll inform everyone else what we’ve learned about young Midoriya’s quirk.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK4mUmf8xT
Izuku: “They might still be scared.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsWKCgv8qY
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, can’t please everyone. You are what you are. As long as you don’t go overboard or misuse your quirk, most people will be fine with you. You’ll see.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyunRpAFIe
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, thanks everyone.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQQmZpoJ5H
Just then, a loud boom was felt throughout the whole stadium. Tatsumaki was ready to tear apart the villain who dared come here. But she relaxed when she saw the real reason.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhk06o5Ckl
Tatsumaki: “You have an impressive classmate, Izu.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCyh5hfxJq
Inko: “W-W-What is that!?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQhOfquo6m
A massive glacier of ice engulfs a large portion of the stadium. It was large enough for the whole group to see it out of their window. It was actually pretty close to their booth.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqcNMfQsaz
Izuku: “Todoroki… ”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0CdUU0Urt
All Might: “He might have gone a bit overboard.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIapssI75E
Kiri: “Icicle strong. Poor Smile.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxBy1LsC7v
Fubuki: “Doesn’t that mean you’re up next?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CaVn3vkqK
Kiri: “Ah.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a5nJ65Yga
Inko: “That’s right! Good luck, sweetie!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiZjY0GMhr
Kiri: “Ih.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyztLOY37fR
Kiri grabs Izuku’s hand and helps him up.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWnMBhVHQr
Kiri: “Cheer for me?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLB2oYSMF2
Izuku: “O-Of course. I’ll be with everyone else. Don’t worry, Kiri, I’m… okay now. It wasn’t my fault; I know that now.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ef870cXQz
Kiri: “… Good.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCOcEG8rED
All Might: “I’ll walk young Midoriya to where his class is.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1mf9K7BdC
Fubuki: “I’ll help melt the ice.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMQv672PPI
Tatsumaki: “You don’t want me to do it?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzn2l3EaqJ
Fubuki: “I can handle it.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR3e6LJB0I
Fubuki floated out of the booth and towards the glacier. Shaving away the ice with her quirk shouldn’t be too difficult. Besides, she can’t sit and do nothing this whole festival.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIyZnb8l9Q
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr6zngkc6O
It didn’t take long for the trio to make it to where the rest of the class was. Izuku peered out of the corner to see his classmates sitting down and socializing while the glacier was rapidly shrinking.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qg6HzWJwB
All Might: “Don’t worry, young Midoriya, it will be alright. Your classmates will not treat you any differently.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMjudB0nxe
Izuku: “I-I know. Doesn’t stop my heart from racing.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf888waDGvE
All Might: “Hahaha, if anything, it proves you didn’t do it on purpose. Someone who worries about how his friends see him wouldn’t do something to make them fear him.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9omN4iQqz
Izuku: ‘Not on purpose.’
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB715tV1w0l
All Might: “I’ll go check on Shinso. You cheer on your sister and prepare yourself for your next match.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjwTrCbejO
Izuku: “R-Right. Thank you, All Might.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHtT0nq0vu
The boy waved goodbye to his idol turned mentor. When he was out of sight, Izuku sighed. Bringing his mind back together and rejecting those low rumblings within, he steps towards his classmates.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzc9BNQwTY
Mina: “Oh, Midoriya!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUInGcgWto
The entire class snaps their heads towards the boy, who instantly freezes.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1xaUAYNdV
Izuku: “H-Hey-”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBjVr3Wxq2
Several of the more worried and curious classmates bolted towards him. The questions came one after the other. All of them, however, boiled down to a single concern. What did Izuku do to Shinso, and are they both okay?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ455AtBCT5v
Before Izuku could answer, Momo came to the front.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40ZdTlpgP0
Momo: “Midoriya, you don’t have to answer if you don’t feel comfortable. We trust you.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WYnGflnWB
Uraraka: “Yeah! But we would still like to know.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZqCcnzNIs
Denki: “For curiosity’s sake.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQlIX6ota5
Izuku: “T-Thanks e-everyone. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what I know.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq7TOhWnEX
And so Izuku explained what he discussed with his family. After hearing the story, they all sighed in relief.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK70VUBcgI
Ida: “I knew you were not someone who would do something like that on purpose. I’m glad I was not wrong.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXurNSkFFWZ
Mina: “Yeah, looks like Bakugo was right.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7u0CqBEGB
Izuku: “Kacchan?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckHeBkYMY8
Kirishima: “Yeah, he actually defended you when we were worried. Crazy, huh?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVSI6vrUEh
Izuku’s eyes widened and his heart lifted when he heard that. He looked past his friends to see Bakugo, who kept his gaze on the arena.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc93JvkzCi
Izuku: ‘Is he… changing?’
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0XChPg9pH
Denki: “Wait a minute!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ683nz7Jj1F
Thunder Boy held his hands up before getting everyone back to what’s really important.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkwG6Qy2H0
Denki: “Midoriya, are you telling us you spent days training with Yaoyorozu? At her house? Alone!?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8awVNlsjwW
Izuku: “Y-Yes?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1wOJQ2H4m
Denki: “You lucky bas-”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI93t53l8Ma
His words are cut short by a stab to the neck by Jiro’s ear jacks.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB65yoT7dh6
Denki: “gah!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10PZAvg4mg
Jiro: “Idiot.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7riqcggyw
The group laughed, which slowly helped Izuku put himself back together. As for Momo, she tried to fight down the blush that graced her cheeks.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6X8Emgwxx
Momo: ‘Now that Kaminari mentioned it, that was rather bold of me. If Midoriya were a different type of boy, we may have-’
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYxIcSlP1R
Tokoyami: “The next match is starting.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IMxfY4pvn
They look at Tokoyami, who was sitting down already, prepared to view the next match.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRYRBbbPDA
Kirishima: “Right! I don’t want to miss this!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa3E9SN6ep
The class went back to their seats, and Izuku joined them. To his surprise, he was in between two girls. Uraraka to his left and Momo to his right.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIOeshlhq2
Knowing which voice would comment, he immediately shut it down and focused on the match instead.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWo1secTeH
Izuku: ‘Good luck, Kiri. I know you can do this.’
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xcmay8Hky
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjE8vbYCU1
Present Mic: “And here we are, folks, MATCH THREE!! Will this one be just as brief as the last two? Let’s find out!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR8flAnqzp
Kiri steps to the stage and faces her opponent, Aoi Nogami.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrgS2k0zVS
Present Mic: “On one side, we have the silent and incredibly strong girl from the department of heroics, class 1-A, Kiri Tae!!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS0C9VAxWp
Present Mic: “Her opponent! The girl who stole victory with a single move during the obstacle race. The teleporter from the department of heroics, class 1-B, Aoi Nogami!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCz40YHKRZ
Aoi: “Sad to say, this match will be quick too.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedOctZeXkf
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY!?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsl9JAbHwM
Kiri didn’t respond; she got into a fighting position and readied herself.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlbhlRLifO
Kiri: ‘Onii, watch me!’
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG9IpGubM5
Present Mic: “START!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X8EMzAuEz
Instantly, Aoi teleports in front of Kiri and tries to touch her. Sensing danger, Kiri dodges right on time and dashes to the other side of the arena. The dash, however, was messy, tearing up the ground with every step.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRycSyRf6ud
Present Mic: “Oh, will we have a real fight here, folks!?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvYHPePR1s
If Kiri could sweat, she would be drenched. She tightens her stance and narrows her gaze.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC10MArOLE
Aoi: “So you figured me out, huh? Yeah, one touch is all I need. And I have a feeling, one day, I won’t even need to do that.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpmwbaABWX
Again, Aoi was gone. Only thanks to her acute senses was Kiri able to dodge another palm strike from behind. But Aoi didn’t stop; she teleported everywhere Kiri went.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO8HCB31MK
But Kiri was too fast physically to be tagged by Aoi. At this point, this was nothing but a game of tag. One that could go on for hours.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNel15OMikV
Present Mic: “Wow! I can barely keep up with these two! But this can’t go on forever; who will be the first to trip up!?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFlb5t2bor
He was right; someone had to take a risk if they wanted this to end. With that in mind, Aoi was the first to try something crazy. She wanted to wait to try this against one of the stronger physical fighters, like Bakugo or Todoroki.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0FhJCV0HD
But clearly, Kiri was a physical powerhouse as well.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ0dmfuOaL
Aoi: ‘Oh, well. Here goes nothing.’
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDl0pUCSnP
The esper breaks off her assault and teleports to the edge of the arena. Kiri was confused for a second but quickly guessed that Aoi might finally be tired.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qUPZAfGnx
So she goes on the offensive, dashing forward with fist raised, ready to knock the girl out.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX6AwYfbnf
But Aoi wasn’t tired; no, she was focusing. She placed her hands on the stage and willed her desire into existence. Veins emerged on her forehead just as Kiri was in front of her.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD3KZqItRg
But before the blow landed, both her and the stage disappeared.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPsrYIsLml
Everyone: “HUUUUUH!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXK5oQxfmM
Present Mic: “S-S-She teleported the entire stage high into the sky!!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgxgImcLsW
Kiri’s eyes widen as she sees the green grass feet away. She was… going to lose?
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTHIYlaWkf
Kiri: ‘No!’
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2dVkMFQld
Her brain went into overdrive, desperate for an answer to her problem. A split second later, the conclusion revealed itself. It was a side of her ability that she hasn’t used often.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVzAWFBKq2
Her ability is tactile telekinesis, the ability to use telekinesis on things she touches. It’s what gives Kiri her immense physical power and near-complete body control.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6IeZeQqku
But aside from her body, what else is she always touching but never uses telekinesis on?
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkClehEABod
Kiri: “SMAASH!!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9jAySfi89
Air.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIQ6FcjIj6
An explosion of wind and smoke envelops the ground as Kiri is propelled into the air by the force of her attack. In fact, she kind of overshot it!
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDopzMzaeY
She shot straight through the stage, shattering it into several large pieces.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRb36CXats
Aoi: “Shoot!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol6ZVUYerv
Aoi teleports out of the way of the rumble. As for the spectators, they were saved when green energy enveloped the rumble and carefully lowered it onto the ground, away from the stunned Midnight.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbYdfePxDQ
Present Mic: “Thank you, Tornado, for saving the spectators and Midnight!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzqPD8WhTt
Tatsumaki nods before sitting back down to watch the conclusion of this surprising match.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HAkOZBaQZ
Present Mic: “I swear, kids these days are crazy! With no stage, it looks like this is a battle for the air. Whoever touches the ground first LOSES!!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsTMLAkRbB
Seeing a chance to end this madness, Aoi senses the space where Kiri is at and teleports there. Kiri quickly rights herself and hits the air once again. The explosion of air was enough to blow Aoi back, disorienting her.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7nWiExLT4
Seeing an opening, Kiri kicks off the air and tackles Aoi.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqBB9Vb53A
Aoi: “Ugh!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDE0jIkQOP
They’re both quickly heading to a meeting with the hard ground.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23gk58oGPp
Seeing this, Aoi teleports back up. But Kiri is still stuck to her like glue. This was it, the dead end.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbLrMJrWyJ
She could keep teleporting, but Kiri wouldn’t let go, and Aoi can’t break out of the hold.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YZF8FpNTv
Kiri: “Give. Up.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMgP9fq0zZ
Aoi closes her eyes and sighs.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xkxgjgwgS
Aoi: “Okay, you win.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf2dX4ukRq
With one last teleport, the two appear, standing on the grass.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMapQwcMRUJ
Aoi: “I give.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1TlR1kUzp
Midnight: “N-Nogami surrenders! Tae advances to round two!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzePlBYP0D
With the results in, Kiri lets go of Aoi.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4335jEQ8r
Aoi: “Man, you have a tight grip. Thanks for the match.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfj2fWFuhB
Aoi holds out her hand, and Kiri smiles before taking it.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFherIqZvo3
Present Mic: “Such sportsmanship and utter destruction! We haven’t seen a battle like that since Blizzard versus Psykos! And I have a feeling it will only get better from here! So stay tuned! Right now, we need to repair the stage.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo3SGIwrFW
Aoi teleports back to her team while Kiri looks up at her classmates, specifically Izuku, and gives them the biggest smile she could give along with a peace sign.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw6YEFNALR
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc7LgMdyyK
Denki: “You want to fight that?!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnpWBSIHkV
Kirishima nervously chuckles.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFAttNmoYo
Kirishima: “I have a long way to go. But yeah, I still want to show how far I’ve come as a fighter.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe9ujIh5SG
Denki: “Bro, are you an M?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiave8P6mZ
As the rest of his class discusses the short but explosive battle, Izuku keeps his gaze on Kiri. Unlike everyone else, he heard what was beyond that smile.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpI2UqnmwM
Kiri: “Izu, you’re not the only dangerous one. Even if you can’t control it yet, you can practice with me. I can take it all and help you through it. I’m strong. I’ll prove it to you.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Vs3EkW5p
Izuku: ‘I know you’re strong, Kiri. But… ’
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwgnSul39L
He shakes the depressing thoughts away. This is a festival, right? Everyone should be having fun.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKaB5GuC6K
Izuku: ‘Relax… focus on something else. Like how Kiri used her quirk. Or the abilities Nogami showed. Or how different and similar psychic quirks are. Or-’
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjJuTduyOb
Good thing Izuku always has a notebook at the ready, because his mind is finally focused on something fun. Quirk analysis.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLDvnroQLy
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zglC97JPa
Back in the nurse’s office, a new breed was stirring. On the bed, his body snaps into its final state. No, this is just the first step. He can go so much higher.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo2RSN066b
His eyes flutter open, releasing a soft purple and gold glow. But before anyone could notice, it settled back into its normal state.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXllrMWrnxS
But despite outward appearances, his eyes were different. They were better. All his senses were better. The world looked and felt different.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3985SeyheJ
He was different. But why and how?
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplDyUUtT6T
Shinso was finally awake, and he needed answers.
