Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCzrrCEVs4
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym7glBZoKj
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!!!”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPXIBCEJnG
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MDpLZfzjE
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy3AZgYTwU
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rP4MdGXxa
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHyXfidHnC
She doesn’t answer.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAF9BHb0xf
Present Mic: “READY?!”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqpU2nND7Y
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgswwtIkBE
Present Mic: “START!!”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR5ZEQCLo6
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxOYUxCb98
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUVnoC0RGN
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fkpja08GM
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaAx0cNx79
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvJzYvFP1C
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJsULwtqqa
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQCV7bm40c
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHOgggn95u
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcMryZox0n
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyUIHZa43x
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoPsEaoVgU
Izuku: “Ugh.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQbSKKOUYM
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmivHgs4lQ
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf50bzw9mMY
Izuku: “What the-”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbruuv8Hfd
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpzmJfaXjT
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP8K8cVJ20
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3zDBh6V3l
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5ZHHxGrMn
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdotl1CBMm
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-
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD2UTtG05M
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PzksDSebi
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16kHabFCx4
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtNJ3GpveQ
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!?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92CZrO3b7M
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayA9I23Vqu
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2LnQ1mvly
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyme1w41hPr
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp87uldSz4
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15Vk163glf
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKtCw1oxAm
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EdRHLxM3d
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio3L0ijWlR
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FKas1y0qu
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaEUgGsCGR
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Vos7ExVf
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbousofFc1
She shouldn’t be winning.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENEZmCCGKi
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQmez2aS2Y
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUYS9dCRtj
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIMsyyUji7
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIGIM2R1Ri
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNHmzSw7Ey
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZMeKa4SWm
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3HNTuFbKk
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNCQBHP4pd
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHzqUanvzO
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XD0SYGtOb
Her field breaks.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRHKPeAzat
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIUequDT23
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2gWjfqRu6
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sqH7eX5ra
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26O3xoFErj
She’s inches from defeat.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzCZAvLHJL
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVohSv8AVge
It’s over.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyINZe6ZkC
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqYNk76pqC
She lost. She’s weaker.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAV3ncnGeq
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAc5G0pmHG
How could someone like her understand him?
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE1EpV5I9x
How could he… love someone like her?
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvqIhsQArb
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqFt6Ie7l4
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY96TEyKaqr
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eeHcui2Xa
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC9FvEn1y7
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOfDCiN7d0
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs7LTP9S3j
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNcLv8vk4H
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UZST0mVA1
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28Nxjp3wqm
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpgb9CjJ8e
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VtIaMEbey
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjWDTwUIcV
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigtVKP5h7i
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNJkBQckBg
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2CL5hd4zE
Kiri: “… You held back.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd0qlEeJN0
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpQdGj2PRT
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7qSboBbZn
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp2CcEu5oe
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESQ0W2lmWk
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3UfWd9qm7
Izuku: “I… ”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaHxkRG84F
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?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC8eeb0Pp0
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEArTpmC5Vk
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdES7BQBkla
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0geZVQM7QW
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI6LAm50B7
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyhkoTcemV
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFMv7NX4T0
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AGYAaDN9s
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN32H0n1MD
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhE2TK8mUR
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89286MWz6n
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzxO4II3gz
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVe7CUYTgi
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCMU7sxuTL
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49qVxZNNDe
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvygT3Ska0
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCNd5kPGYP
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88lfNgj5fp
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndsw4oKIF8
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHLjm0JwMf
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tMz3nK0Vd
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSze2CtWlO
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59NrM6ot6h
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM7vLJB9Yz
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqJ92dT6ok
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uyUdnc9HS
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1wVoGhQ6a
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoGfDTlmps
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuSJ8xlUGd
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLMsC7iDa7
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyADtgRgtD
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACTNt70wxH
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-”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdYIRV12n6
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSd2s7vWu3
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIhSI4OQti
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIK2AqbaBe
With that, the conversation was over.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU81Dv2aXr
Fubuki: “Well?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqzAA2XVVT
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqtAx1PkBL
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ2OXnbxXc
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FXHFDmMKG
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWze7psohgz
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDddFLKWZg
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqg02DN1Mr
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEG2jP9XVM
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf97w4L5Cxv
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUIE8rPXZv
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxyeqagS3X
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMHWSiEwrj
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg16PGsGmDt
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.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gFyCDFl22
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD8dTUfrsR
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP7zQpTq0E
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNonGOGssY
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?
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91yk12B2h0
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy40uWX7JP
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3ahtxjXo4
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA48WOA9pI
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kAjCUrTsL
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhazw8KnL0
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEVJwTYnuC
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlAa1BpqP5
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM62PducEs
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL508CJhIDg
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMIibdicSD
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pfy4wdva2
Present Mic: “START!”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWo60AHXZ6
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGULsUjXEs
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC9C0YmJQ4
It’s going to hurt, though.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX4TZ20meo
BOOM!!
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0cy0e7D9J
Uraraka: “Ah!”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroGA9s4Q2W
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYJPSmgv0L
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN8P4ovYY4
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ0hpSYWri
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yMRkxMarv
Sabrina: “Loc-”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Pa8j86O3
Too late.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD2w3Trmrj
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL0iVP477S
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj1BRVvPFO
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSYdOxlqWE
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXjYlF532e
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldh81FNdTz
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj7GgDKIh1
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpJZ9bJgiF
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1mayHQcRZ
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IOa6J7wx1
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikxe03eu7M
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgORIRw72Nv
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
