Present Mic: “Welcome back, everyone, to rouuuuund twooooo!!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWORE7W3AW
The two boys stare each other down, knowing full well how much is riding on this match. No words were needed to convey that fact.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno9gEGWfCF
Present Mic: “And we’re starting out with an exciting one! Both competitors are among the top of their class!! And the world ain’t big enough for the both of them!! Midoriya vs Todoroki!!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5fcyCtBDD
Cold air whipped around while Izuku’s eyes flashed green.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz5Le6aMlE
Present Mic: “Start!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVePQL5PZL
Ice exploded out in two directions, one forward and one back. Good thinking, because Todoroki felt his body being flung back, but his ice barrier prevented a ring out.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnaVcye6Ke
As for Izuku, he didn’t break the ice but instead stopped it in its tracks. Didn’t stop the cold from seeping into his bones, though.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32dJ8BraNc
The boy’s mind goes through his win conditions. He knows there are many ways to win this match. Using the ice against Todoroki. Powering through or just locking his body when he gets him in his sight.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSL4DORCSw
Heck, he could even take a page out of Nogami’s book and teleport him out.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVpKcGJAKU
Izuku: ‘But that won’t solve anything.’
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctwlShguwr
So instead, Izuku decided to play the long defensive game. When another wave of ice came, he instead crushed it along with the remaining ice on the stage.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm4lI7zro6
This back-and-forth continued for a while. Neither boy seemed too interested in closing the distance. Something that was increasingly getting on Todoroki’s nerves.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjApo0wJ8mr
Todoroki: “Why are you on the defensive? What are you doing?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkkvOVfhXU
Changing his strategy a bit, he sends out a low field of ice before expanding it out into several spikes. Finally, this causes Izuku to go on the offensive.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeZqn07rFj
Dodging the ice spikes, Izuku goes into the sky and spots Todoroki. The next moment, he sped towards him. Seeing this, Todoroki dodges out of the way. When Izuku landed, he shattered the ice shield.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6w5dNDIJd
Thinking fast, Todoroki created another while sending a large wave of ice towards Izuku. Large enough to hopefully freeze him.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c9jIDjoqo
But it was hopeless. This time, he simply teleported to the side, avoiding the attack altogether. With this new angle, Izuku’s suspicions were confirmed.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgrIbC2Idu
Izuku: “I can ask you the same thing. You’re shivering, Todoroki.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58peRfatDL
Todoroki: “Tch.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQkyYKatW2
Izuku: “Quirks are just another one of our physical functions, so there’s a limit to how much of your own generated cold you can take, isn’t there?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKuJsdI41T
Todoroki said nothing; he could only narrow his eyes as he felt the frostbite setting in.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGoUtFIr1d
Izuku: “Everyone is giving everything they’ve got! They’re doing it so they can get that much closer to victory! Do you really think you can beat them, me, using only half of your power!?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfGKhOJ4ul
Todoroki: “Midoriya… ”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTg9X3v88p
Izuku: “Stop holding back, fight me!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2eOmRDucG
Todoroki: “… What do you think you’re doing? Did my old man pay you off? Now you’re making me mad!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecDjK24dSv
Todoroki sends another wave of ice, one that’s much weaker than his usual.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVePZoBqYm
Izuku: “Todoroki, I’ll show you that you can’t win or be a hero like this!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmo9vGZLqi
The ice wave rushed towards the boy, but he did nothing but close his eyes and raise his hand. As soon as the ice touched his hand, Izuku used his newest ability. Debuting it for the whole world to see.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXWtHPKCZD
Instantly, all the ice turned into water.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CtBvwBvLN
Todoroki: “Wha-”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCIJcChCr2
Present Mic: “What’s this, folks!? Izuku somehow turned all of Todoroki’s ice to water!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBx0P9pLCC
In the stands, class 1-A is also in shock and confusion over this development.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5RlHBZrxh
Mina: “What the? He can do that? How?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsSrBioGGG
To explain, Momo decided to speak up.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8OhP7r4zo
Momo: “It’s a new ability he learned recently. It’s actually like mine; if he knows the atomic structure of something, he can change it to something else with a touch. Even destroy or strengthen the atomic bonds if he wants.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe1hNN8rBY
Uraraka: “Wow, Midoriya’s quirk is-”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V7NMpRv6D
Denki: “Unfair, I agree.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5tCT9jSbl
Uraraka: “I was going to say interesting. Does anyone else just get new abilities like that?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMg4HjTxkz
Jiro: “I don’t think so. I know some quirks can give you multiple similar abilities or evolve, but this is crazy.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTMPuP4gJ0
Kirishima: “So, he can: fly, teleport, move things with his mind, make shields, read minds, and now change things into other things?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4hhdp2dEB
He says while counting off his fingers.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIRjvvl6o4
Momo: “I think he can also power himself and inanimate objects up. I remember he improved the power of a cannon I made.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXDa2kXdZe
Tokoyami: “The Psi-sword as well.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrwdfDGDP3
Denki: “Ridiculous!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhQamCvSee
Mina: “I’m so jealous! I wish my quirk could do different things. Like, what if I could make acid animals or something?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nHeV5qbXq
Momo can’t help but feel a bit of the same. But she now knows the mental downsides and control problems his quirk brings. However, with that memory came the memory of the kiss.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVjOhWJXFu
Momo: ‘Stupid! Why did I do that?’
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOTViIq6UK
As for Bakugo, he scowls as his rival continues to outpace him. He looks at his hand and wonders if there is more to his quirk as well. Something to think about.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGvlZclfGy
Kirishima: “I wonder if he’s hiding anything else. Hey, Tae, is Midoriya-”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN8Fq0CbmX
It was this moment, that Kirishima and the rest of the class noticed that Kiri was gone.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvthtnNWPi
Ida: “Mmmm, I don’t see her either.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HSUj00ewJ
Uraraka: “She wouldn’t miss Midoriya’s match.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabo0RFbzAW
While they worry about Kiri’s location, the match below continues.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrCCR5X1yC
Izuku: “The power of your ice is weakening! If you were at your best, I may not have been able to transmute all of it.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoygLhXJLtb
Todoroki is at a loss. Any ice he creates now will just be turned into water. Is there no hope?
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hkGITp47m
Todoroki: “Why are you… doing this?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGemH7wpXj
Izuku: “Because that’s what a hero does; they help people.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRKKRcZ4RA
Todoroki: “I don’t need-”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mYUdhADXZ
Izuku: “Yes, you do! Todoroki, I can’t even begin to understand your circumstances or your resolution, but I know two things. You will never be able to become a hero if you don’t use your full strength! And weakening yourself just to disavow your father is foolish!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLQbmJrI3X
Todoroki: “Shut up… ”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86B27em0GE
The cold air starts to bite even harder, but Izuku didn’t stop.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn97VG2XtK
Izuku: “Make me!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f3Pd2ni8m
Izuku teleported in front of Todoroki and delivered a devastating gut punch that nearly rang the boy out.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qmDJueqeL
Todoroki coughed before forcing himself back up. He can’t lose like this. Not to him.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14fssSBMll
Todoroki: “My father… ”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcOHb7rMGw
Izuku: “It’s yours! It’s your power!! Use it!!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGkvyWcVIm
His eyes widen as memories of those warm times with his mother flood his mind.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYsKlXg1E3
“It’s okay, Shouto, you… you aren’t a slave to your blood. You can become the man you want to be.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IN7IRNZ21
Assured by his past, Shouto ignites!
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgketyU2w6Y
Present Mic: “What’s this… ?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr16dZX385X
Ida: “He used it… !
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVqAjQbUxJ
Uraraka: “Hot, hot!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75WzNxj86K
All Might, hidden within the crowd, smiles as he now understands why Izuku held back so heavily.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKwIc774HP
All Might: ‘So you wanted to save that young Todoroki? Truly, you’ll make a great hero, Midoriya.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkKnhMrr0j
Todoroki: “…Fine. If you wanted me at my best, you got it. I will be a hero, Midoriya!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIMSoYiLqp
Izuku smiles, a mix of happiness and… excitement.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJskS1AKhEI
Izuku: “That’s what I want to hear.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhQMfQvweJ
The two were in their own world; they didn’t hear or care about Endeavor’s distant ramblings. They were focused on this last clash.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7AqRQjZhE
Todoroki charged up both his ice and fire, preparing his ultimate move.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMyEPhBral
While Izuku floated up and quickly charged a Psi Explosion between his hands.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgfJwEyVxl
Fully ready, Todoroki unleashed a massive wave of ice towards Izuku. The esper easily floated over the ice field and headed towards the flaming Todoroki with his ultimate move still primed.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CIDjLaOZs
Fearing an explosion of epic proportions, Cementos quickly created a barrier around the stage.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bhpU5wg7o
Todoroki: “Midoriya… ”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxN4ufJCFv
Closing in, Todoroki lifted his hand while Izuku did a backward flip before unleashing his attack.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdfT6125wL
Todoroki: “Thank you.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU6fmB6eve
BOOOOM!
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5O2QbLSb9
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLRpSTE7MN
“I’m sorry! I’m sor-”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2pmvy4hVi
Kiri crushed the skull of the strange talking crab quirk beast. She ignored the shell shocked bystanders.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshqGuxQLVv
Kiri: ‘I feel… a bit better.’
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3juMrolibD
It’s not like she can’t get her onii-chan back. She is still the closest person to him, and she’s sure she’s the only person Izu can go all out for. The only person that can handle all of him, help him through his struggles.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVEBmau44g
Kiri: ‘Udders can’t do that. Too weak.’
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamQ40unnPL
After thinking that, she hears a large explosion in the distance. One in the direction of the stadium.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7slzlnHuaT
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhP6Mm4hfU
She knows he won. He wouldn’t lose against Icicle.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT96YY7SYB
Kiri: ‘I’m up next.’
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN11isR9Wlc
Knowing that, she quickly left the bloody scene. The screen zooms out to show several more quirk beast corpses lying across the street.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9FUzbhO9g
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSiVQqCK52
Cementos: “Sure, they’re powerful… but that’s just ridiculous.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGFpHIzTL8
Present Mic: “What the heck! What is up with Aizawa’s class!?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFuvbXsaeT
Hot air and smoke filled the arena, preventing anyone from seeing the result. That was until the smoke was condensed into a ball by Tatsumaki, along with the rubble.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigfADn4z11
The result, though, was not too surprising.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWonpwMs6w
Todoroki was still standing, if only barely. His shirt was torn, and he was out of breath. He looked up at Izuku, who was in a similar state.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sy3JHGM6j
The esper was floating over the destroyed stage with a satisfied smile.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtS4IjCiL4
Then Todoroki looked at where he was, on the grass.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9ceLubiw7
Midnight: “Ring out! Izuku advances to Round three!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAChZZKo54Z
The crowd explodes with excitement. Tatsumaki grins at her brother’s excellent performance while Fubuki is still in awe of the destruction.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH5LhVaGmh
First Kiri, now Izuku…
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLp5xI3xVt
She shakes her head of any self-doubt; it won’t help her. Heck, maybe she could learn how Izuku melted the water while she helps him with his mental abilities.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYMH4w0OPK
Fubuki: ‘I… can still grow.’
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWoLcNNHUm
Todoroki breathes a sigh, accepting his defeat. Because in the end, it didn’t matter. He got something far more precious out of this. He walked away while Izuku teleported back to his class.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZsv8ShlLF
Present Mic: “Stay tuned, folks! Don’t go anywhere, unless you want to miss another explosive fight like this! Right now, though, we have to fix the stage… again.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbMeEiOvmr
While in the halls, Todoroki runs into his father.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu165wEgL1
Endeavor: “What? Not going to tell me I’m in the way?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8lf81XtMP
Todoroki only stared at the man. No, he looked past him. Like he wasn’t even there.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTYUPwboJv
Endeavor: “Although you lost, at least you finally stopped throwing that childish tantrum. Now, you may finally grow into my perfect masterpiece and crush that Midoriya boy the next time you face him!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR1LYUJEKk
Todoroki: “… I haven’t rescinded my disavowal of you.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKe9syqaip
Endeavor: “… What?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7JUuAdmju
Todoroki: “See, I’m not exactly easy to win over. In that battle, in that instant, I completely forgot about you. I don’t know if it’s good, bad, or if it’s even the right thing to do. I’ll think about it a little.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeH1JsGpyj
And with that, he moves past his father and takes the reins of his life again.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GPuUqhdvS
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrnq1ZH53j
Izuku: “Kiri is gone?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOoYNDtIvd
Kirishima: “Yeah, man, we haven’t seen her!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXr7OO8CYx
Izuku: “Hmmm.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwvcDDFxjl
Izuku: “Tatsu, is Kiri there with you?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPZgbYkcwW
Tatsumaki: “No, why? Also, mom and Fubu says you did great.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zf9q1olWe
Izuku: “Tell them I said thanks. As for Kiri, she’s not here.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCpChgkdkt
After a moment, Tatsumaki gives him an answer.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ954PHZIVvZ
Tatsumaki: “I sense her; she’s coming back. Apparently, she went outside.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOUOdiLPc8
Izuku: ‘Outside? Why?’
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMsqj4Xzis
Before the two could discuss further, the next match was about to start. The stage was fixed, and the rubble was cleared. It was time.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNLkwYZumQ
Present Mic: “Welcome back!! Here comes the second match of round two! Shiozaki vs Tae! Will this match be just as exciting as the previous one!?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtiJWuvIKo
Shiozaki was already in the ring, but there was still no sign of Kiri.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTk2OepUUZ
Kirishima: “Where is she?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRGKhEWCPY
Izuku: “Tatsu said she was outside for some reason. She’s coming back, though.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC7S5tqk3k
Uraraka: “I hope she makes it.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSnJLYvHxb
Denki: “What a way to go, being late.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFKVM40Px3
Thankfully, Kiri dashed out of the corridor after a few seconds.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1hmLwfM9W
Present Mic: “And the latecomer has finally arrived!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH94XInFVXt
Kiri looks up at Izuku and immediately stiffens when she sees Momo sitting next to him.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZGcHw1VIe
Kirishima: “Yeah, go Tae!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqpzsBJlUG
Everyone else didn’t notice the change of expression, but Izuku did.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEtuWqCfre
Izuku: “What’s wrong?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w1Jj5C3Lx
Kiri: “… Nothing.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjlyYHwhMQ
That was a lie, but he could investigate it later. He shouldn’t distract her.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX7kzNFsoZ
Present Mic: “Now that everyone is present, let’s get started!! Ready!? START!!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG0duzu6aW
Instantly, Kiri was cocooned in a vine prison.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPqu6qrMpm
Kirishima: “Wha-”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh71gumF4T0
Denki: “That’s what happened to me!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu74aoaXOr
Izuku: “Kiri?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclaNG5CQoK
Present Mic: “Oh, what’s this!? Is Kiri Tae defeated already!?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP9UAesFNy
Tatsumaki narrows her eyes while Fubuki’s widen.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM9U5Qs3Wx
There’s no way she was defeated that easily. It was impossible.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I58yqCkQ0
Indeed it was.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfVrbmp0mf
Suddenly, the vines around Kiri fall to the ground.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoz2berCOA
Ibara: “What!?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXQOtSfL1j
Kiri falls to the ground unharmed and holding one of the vines. No matter what Ibara does, she can’t command her hair to move. It was like something was forcing them to become still.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTOG3cGa0d
With a bored expression, Kiri starts to pull all the hair to her.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVKmkQ3BES
Ibara tried to pull back, but it was no use. After a few moments of pulling in all of her hair, Kiri held the girl by the scalp and dragged her across the stage like a disobedient child.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCANedjA71
Present Mic: “Yikes, I would hate for that to happen to me!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux0Fdmdprz
When at the edge of the stage, Kiri simply threw her off, vines and all.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pSvUI6wpV
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the next round!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1zZHdfRO8
Present Mic: “And there you have it, folks! A short, sweet, but a bit embarrassing match!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW6Bc88hBD
Done, Kiri goes to reclaim her place beside Izu. That was until Ibara opened her mouth.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV70v7V7gzY
Ibara: “You’re the same as Midoriya, aren’t you?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98OUQwCzbb
Kiri looks back at the woman before she continues.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCykovfaST
Ibara: “I feel the same thing I felt from him in the first match. Your actions now prove it. Where he’s malevolent, you’re cold. But in the end, you’re both… monsters.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmVlX3tnU7
The ground beneath Kiri’s feet cracks as her stare becomes nearly feral.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ898eN3vkN
Kiri: “You. Know. Nothing.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNALpDkVPyi
Izuku: “Kiri?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF31Kk9qgp
Before Kiri could do something rash, she heard her brother’s voice. Calming down, she fled the scene.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bSGds8IgL
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmOKIjwWaj
Izuku: “Kiri, is something wrong?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZFrog3dye
Kiri: “No.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjMEjDUgTw
He’s asked this question multiple times, and the answer was always the same. Kiri just sat next to him in a tense silence that he had never experienced with her before. Awkward was one thing; tense was way worse.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCZIOI8rUD
It distracted him so much that he didn’t pay that much attention to the next match. It didn’t last long anyway.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdlVDsn8p7
Jiro tried her best, but Ida was much faster than Mina and could close the distance better. When he did, he easily grabbed Jiro’s shirt and quickly dragged her over the ring like Kiri did to Ibara.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVW1lUhLz9
Jiro: “Aw, man! If I only used the sonic blaster quicker, as soon as Ida got close.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxv9VncEvt
Ida: “You did very well to keep me at bay, Jiro. A very respectable effort!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxAqr5121s
Jiro: “Still lost.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21NsG0o5d2
Momo: “Winning isn’t everything. Besides, you’re going to get even better from now on. One day, I’m sure you can beat Ida.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiVPqtT8Cu
Jiro: “Really? Thanks, Momo. I’m glad you’re not letting your loss get you down either.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7wjw2tBPg
Momo: “Well, I had some help.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR5lwWFj5U
Jiro: “I bet.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghnKzuGmc1
Momo smiled at Izuku, who returned it after hearing the conversation nearby.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bi3wAs2Mr
Izuku: ‘She really took our conversation to heart.’
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoUVcYmVNE
And here comes the memory of the kiss. The two of them turn away, trying to hide their blush.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W3ACIwgG2
Ida: “Is something wrong, Yaoyorozu?! Are you sick!?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bdLbbsBck
Momo: “N-No.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3R1wZ5Nya
Jiro: “Relax, Ida, she’s fine. More than fine, I think.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva9dsoU1HH
Momo: “K-Kyoka?!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5urMNnu0Hd
Izuku tried to ignore the conversation and turn his attention to the next match. As for Kiri, she was stone still, trying to put all of her attention on Rocky’s match.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKIcHIVdwf

As for the match, it ended as many expected. Kirishima was a much better fighter now, but he was still not on Bakugo’s level.

He still managed to get a few solid hits in, but Bakugo’s explosions were devastating and couldn’t be blocked. Bakugo was training as well, and his explosions benefited the most.

So in the end, Kirishima was overwhelmed by a barrage of mini-bombs.

A small smile emerged on Kiri’s face, and Izuku… didn’t like it.

Izuku: ‘But why? I’m not… j-j-jealous! Besides… what about Yaoyorozu? I have no right to be jealous! A-And of course, we’re family… sort of. I can’t… ’

The words of one of the voices echo in his head. That maybe Kiri really likes him like that. That he should go for it.

It was too much to think about right now. He shakes his head and tries to calm down.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeCVe5Qvwt
Izuku: ‘No. I’m not like that. I-It’s fine. Kiri and Kirishima would be…’

He couldn’t finish the thought. Instead, he waited for the next match. One that could be just as destructive as his.
