The match was over; despite Uraraka’s best efforts, she had lost.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAiTmxjadjGL
Izuku: “Uraraka… ”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAM5EymRkMMo
Kiri: “Good fight though.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA6IOMyi8x1X
Denki: “Still brutal.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA4aQmIIxmV8
Jiro: “Is it over?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA5RjPikE52T
Momo: “Yes, you can uncover your eyes now.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAhNXL67dQ9Y
Izuku: “I-I’ll go check on her. Tell me what happens with the next match if I don’t make it in time.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAC5Llan0hVO
Kiri: “… Nh.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAQq5eJy6qPS
Izuku excused himself and made his way to where Uraraka might be. Along the way, he actually ran into Bakugo.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAEuZDsKfoXc
Izuku: “Kacchan.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANALrcIRX4Be7
Uncharacteristically, Bakugo said nothing and studied the boy before asking his question.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA2VkXyV8bIR
Bakugo: “… Oi, were you the one who put that plan in her head? The plan that had her fling herself so dangerously!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAggNbymR5vh
Izuku: “… No. The plan, all of it, was what Uraraka herself came up with to beat you. It… was pretty cool, right?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANArT5dOJY7vC
Bakugo: “… Hmph.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAeW1ffEKI4P
Bakugo gave Izuku one last glare before storming back to the rest of the class. With that confrontation down, Izuku made his way to Uraraka.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA6qWzwp7rzK
53Please respect copyright.PENANAaNHrWwFWYX
Sero: “Yo, hey, that was nearly as tough as your face is villain-y!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAmiyYJozc4y
Tsuyu: “It was a weird match up, but you played an amazing little heel nonetheless, Bakugou.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAWMM0OGaVxd
Bakugo: “Shut up, just shut your goddamn mouths!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAE2CJTRxnEA
Denki: “But damn, man, you’re able to blast a fragile little girl with abandon. Knowing me, I couldn’t go through with it.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAtqriNZ90Ox
Tsuyu: “But you got beat pretty easily, Kaminari.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAABMShtarvX
Denki: “… Hey now, c’mon, Tsuyu…”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAFL1ImdjLfs
Bakugo sat down with a huff and thought back to the match.
53Please respect copyright.PENANANgWEhZNqug
Bakugo: ‘Where do you see ‘Fragile’?’
53Please respect copyright.PENANAHKT8ThWGGf
Kiri: “Pay attention.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAjeDnLvm3ra
Kiri’s words caught everyone’s attention; her face was especially focusedon this match. Makes sense; it involves one of the psychics.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAak9yUJIL4C
Present Mic: “And we’re back with three straight rounds of psychic fury! Will they live up to the standards set before!? First up, the girl with a glare that rivals Bakugo’s, Sabrina Kanto from class 1-B!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAeKUlkKdbii
Bakugo: “Tch.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA8DNoDeqt0e
The explosion boy narrowed his eyes at the girl. Out of everyone in the tournament, he knows that the quirks similar to Deku’s will be among the most difficult to face. So he needs to use this time to study all he can about his opponent.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAxlpEmtiwdT
Present Mic: “In the other corner, we have another one from class 1-B, Juuzou Honenuki.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAwPspvOIkgB
The two classmates stand opposed to one another, ready for action. Well… not really.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAQhPLUaf5at
Sabrina: “I’m sorry, Honenuki. You did well to get this far.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAZlS7b3MTAh
Honenuki: “Thanks.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA4kgmRo89Q7
Present Mic: “Start!!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA2XWpx8vYEy
Before Honenuki could attempt to soften the ground, he was flung out of the ring. But thanks to Sabrina’s tight control, he didn’t slam into the wall. Instead, she placed him softly on the grass.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAR07j7nGoze
Midnight: “R-Ring out! Sabrina Kanto advances to the next round.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAa8NQVAAyvU
Present Mic: “I-It’s over! A new record for this year’s tournament! We haven’t seen a ring out that quick since Tornado!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAuJwS1YCSzk
Sabrina said nothing as she left the ring. As for class-1…
53Please respect copyright.PENANA1fkywNxp2P
Jiro: “That was… too fast.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA9CTOTVDvIK
Denki: “You know, I’m glad I’m out. I won’t have to face that.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAVUvUJExLdx
Kiri and Bakugo both narrow their eyes after seeing how quick that battle went. Several strategies flew through their head, ways to prevent such a quick defeat.
53Please respect copyright.PENANADhbUof4MiJ
But the one panicking the most was Momo.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAeYdNgbKIQv
Momo: ‘How do I fight against that?! I barely held my own against Midoriya, and that was in an enclosed room. Even if I beat Sannomiya… ’
53Please respect copyright.PENANAIwzd57FxVY
Jiro: “Momo, are you okay?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAG5AAfbrn8p
Momo: “Y-Yes. Just thinking about my upcoming match.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAQzC5bv9o3H
Jiro: “I’m sure you’ll do fine. You’re so smart; I know you’ll come up with a plan to win.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAYrJDkhaXov
Momo: “T-Thank you, Kyoka.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAguSEkkbpwX
Momo: ‘But you think too highly of me.’
53Please respect copyright.PENANA6oP9MBVTHl
53Please respect copyright.PENANAnWV6xbfxLz
Izuku walks out of the waiting room where he found Uraraka. As he leaves, he can hear faint crying.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAtvK43FSmgU
Izuku: ‘Of course she’s hurting!! There’s no way she couldn’t be. Even if I told her, ‘I’ll do whatever I can to help’, I know I couldn’t deliver on that claim. I wish I could do more to-”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAYEPv4ZVj8e
Just then, Endeavor of all people appeared from the side hallway.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAbngXas2Xe6
Izuku: “E-Endeavor!?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAHEsbByc9RM
Endeavor: “Oho, so you are here.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAJL7L78HWC0
Izuku: “W-What? Were you looking for me?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANADcx0HT4paW
Endeavor: “Yes, not only did you make an impression, but you seem close to that Kiri Tae girl.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA9fuFmDIOjy
Any nervousness Izuku had went out the door, and in came a much colder glare. One that made Endeavor smile.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAvcL1iRtK5v
Izuku: “What do you want with her?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAIczepHOeO8
Endeavor: “Her quirk, it’s very much like All Might’s. Such wind pressure and strength. Then your quirk, so much like Tornado’s, if not more impressive.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAlUKJfxhn8b
Izuku: “So what?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAj26QGAiMFv
Endeavor: “My Shouto has a duty to surpass both Tornado and All Might. His match against you and Kiri Tae will no doubt prove an excellent test. So you two best not give him a disgraceful match.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ09Mft99Y
Instinctively, Izuku smirked and whispered-
53Please respect copyright.PENANAMkaAQs7cBN
Izuku: “We’re not the challengers here.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAfc8v47Qw30
Endeavor: “What was that?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAT0POJnIns3
Catching himself, Izuku covered his mouth.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAigu2hvozkL
Izuku: ‘What was that?! Why did I say that?!’
53Please respect copyright.PENANA54pSY1CrLb
Quickly recovering, Izuku changed his tune and thought back to what Todoroki said to him.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAJA0Bp5N1wd
Izuku: “I-I-I said that Kiri is not All Might, and I’m not my sister.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAWS1U7FqSdO
Endeavor: “Obviously.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAK0UCJnfM9e
Izuku: “Right? Then Todoroki, is not you either.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAGBRFcGO1fD
Endeavor narrowed his eyes at Izuku, but it didn’t intimidate him. In fact, Izuku coolly walked past the walking torch stick.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAj9uTTXDrn5
Recollecting himself, he eventually made it in time to see the end of the next match.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAO51nNiIME6
Present Mic: “Ring out!! And that’s the end of the match!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAK68MLwfFh6
Midnight: “Kaoru Akashi makes it to the next round!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAQZgN9Ninqu
Kaoru: “Aw man, I didn’t finish it as fast as Sabrina. You did well, Tokoyami.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAStixIg4CYm
Kaoru, glowing like a miniature sun, holds out her hand to the downed Tokoyami.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAzPut9EX3zg
Tokoyami: “Turn off the light… ”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAiEQpBt1en1
Kaoru: “Oh! Sorry.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAI7eVpiRyBM
The light shrinks, and Dark Shadow regains some of his size. Not wanting to disrespect his opponent, the boy gets up and shakes the girl’s hand.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA22slhZ7uXS
Back with the rest of the class, they were once again in awe. Tokoyami was one of their best 1v1 fighters, and he was taken out with relative ease.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA3MnCTsrSrb
Thanks to Dark Shadow, he was able to prevent an instant ring out by hanging onto the stage. But as soon as Kaoru learned that Dark Shadow was weak to light, it was over.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAmjxJEESJJn
Denki: “Man, at this rate, the only hope for our class coming in on top is the Midoriyas, Todoroki, and Bakugo.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANACE7EtgXobX
For that insensitive comment, he got a slap over the head by Jiro’s ear jacks.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAK3JFt6iTWt
Jiro: “Oi.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAe6Cg0Mk9uD
Denki: “Ah… sorry.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANADijGcWxKSb
The two look at Momo, who is increasingly worried about her match. The only saving grace? Shiho Sannomiya wasn’t like the others. She couldn’t instantly K.O you. But considering how crazy Nogami’s match was, you can never be certain.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAN3bIhWTJYE
Momo: “I better get ready.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAsFXe3Wlbz9
Momo got up and headed towards the waiting room. But before she could exit the stand, she ran into Izuku.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAOoYuTFm76K
Momo: “Midoriya.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA260AifP5Et
He said nothing, just put his hand on her shoulder and smiled.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAVapbUdYxJy
Izuku: “Give it everything you’ve got, Yaoyorozu.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAV6jCAFcj6o
She gave him a soft smile and nodded.
53Please respect copyright.PENANARvYItcB1ON
Momo: “I will, thank you.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAYwGeQYqFTS
She moves past him and prepares for her match.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA9Frr1F1B9F
Five minutes later.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAZGVij88zqc
Present Mic: “At last, we come to the final match of round 1! On one side, we have the president of Class 1-A, Momo Yaoyorozu!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAXdiWATFbnq
She comes up to the platform with a weapon already in hand, a bo staff.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAaNBzhmiunC
Present Mic: “Her opponent, the mysterious psychic girl that managed to talk her way into having a sword. Class 1-B’s Shiho Sannomiya.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA0S5RxTmBvY
The girl smiles as she brings the sword Momo made for her to bear.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAkNC9Cy3tqL
The two girls get into their martial stances. Momo wears a tense grimace, while Shiho is the picture of calm waters. That alone told everyone how this match was going to go.
53Please respect copyright.PENANATuec8zz82q
Present Mic: “Start!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAIFqvpWfJiT
Shiho blasted off into action with perfect grace and posture. As if she were a master swordsman. Momo hurried into a defensive stance, but it quickly became hopeless.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAq5dAbwARLr
Shiho’s attacks were relentless and insane considering her age. Every attack was perfectly done and used at the most optimal time. Momo was an adept staff fighter and had gotten even better over the training period.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAeQfxwRuNAL
But the person in front of her was a goddess with the blade. There was no contest.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA0wUvByyPAc
In a panic, she created a flash grenade from her bo staff in an attempt to stun Shiho. But with lightning quick reflexes, she caught the bomb, spin-kicked Momo away, and threw the bomb at her.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAauKkl89sIx
Thanks to Shiho’s quirk, she knew exactly when the bomb would go off as soon as he touched it. So, when Momo opened her eyes, what was in front of her was a great flash of light.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAENMefayRwJ
Shiho dashed forward with her own eyes closed and hit the disoriented Momo with the butt of her sword. The next second, it was over.
53Please respect copyright.PENANALdNlhjuvQH
Midnight: “Ring out! Shiho Sannomiya proceeds to the next round!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAYudWCUm9NB
Present Mic: “You heard it, folks! The first round is over! We’ll get back to it after a short break!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAKuhnjUQHdo
When the world stopped spinning, Momo realized where she was and what happened.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA3z888KBjbU
She looked up to see her classmates looking down at her with surprise and worry. She quickly turned away.
53Please respect copyright.PENANABHUCNObN9Y
Shiho: “I’m sorry it had to end that way. But you were better than I thought. It was just a bad match up. One of the abilities of my quirk, Psychometry, allows me to master nearly any weapon or vehicle I touch.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA6GkytzXJs4
Momo: “So… I never stood a chance.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y2a9vGEXE
Shiho: “Not unless you were a master too or had some trick that could catch a master off-guard.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA7YCCWCp0rS
Momo: “I see… thank you… for informing me.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAyUDKqX2gTt
The two shake hands, and Momo fails to see Shiho’s eyes flash light blue again.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAe4DqH5TIan
Shiho: “Ah… I really am sorry. You deserved to win more than me.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAbjrJ3Tr7P4
But Momo doesn’t hear her; instead she walks back to the waiting room in a daze.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA4WcbSkNzkk
As for the rest of class 1-A.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAFbMOGN5uLv
Jiro: “Poor Momo.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANABbazVHaOJ4
Tsuyu: “Kero.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA5rIqfnLYdC
Izuku looked at Momo and saw… a face he used to see in the mirror. The self-doubt, the feeling of powerlessness, the… disappointment. Old parasites he knew all too well.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAWUvxrFVJJC
He balled his fists and made his choice. What kind of friend would he be if he didn’t help? Shinso’s situation is… complex. He couldn’t really comfort Uraraka. But Momo, he won’t fail her.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2ksiZhxM8
He won’t let her suffer what he suffered for so long until he got his quirk. So before Jiro could get up and comfort her friend, Izuku teleported away first.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAuSwTgsESB4
Jiro: “Whoa, what the-”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAsMWaUD5cDS
Kiri: “Onii?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAAwJx5owjJy
In a flash of light, Izuku appeared in the waiting room and looked around for her. But she was nowhere in sight. So he ran out of the room and started looking. Eventually, he found her sitting against the wall of a deserted hallway, a hand over her mouth to stifle her sobs.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAY6irH0MvKN
Izuku steeled his heart and approached her. His footsteps caught her attention; seeing who came to see her, she quickly wiped away her tears.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA7uLAWRttHv
Momo: “M-Midoriya…”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAb1DYZ6pibL
Izuku: “M-Mind if I sit down?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAxgIRUpIgKS
She shakes her head, and so Izuku sits down next to her. For a solid minute, they said nothing. The silence was peaceful, uncomplicated. But it won’t solve the problem, so Izuku decided to break it.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAiDYdNcFJyK
Izuku: “I… understand how you’re feeling right now.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1cUSpTOX0
Apparently, that was the wrong thing to say. Momo shrinks as she tightens her fists.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAH2Hsgq0uW4
Momo: “How would you know? With a quirk like yours? You’re most likely going to win this tournament, and it won’t even be that difficult for you.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANANAOXOGlRqf
She tried really hard not to scream those words at him. How could he, of all people, understand what it’s like to fail to meet expectations?
53Please respect copyright.PENANAEXBcdVKuXN
Izuku: “… I didn’t always have a quirk.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAB4GxgU9gkv
Momo: “… What?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA9BCYBiqCe6
Her body stills, and her fist loosens.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAKDZz10IuB1
Izuku: “That’s right. Brother to Blizzard and Tornado, quirkless. So yes, I know how you feel because I felt that way nearly my whole life.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAHtFVUcXW4t
Momo’s mouth opens as Izuku continues to lay a part of his soul out to her.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAMY0xz1W1gQ
Izuku: “I never believed in myself. That feeling, it’s suffocating. Like it’s trying to drown the rest of you out to the point where all you feel is just-”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAdUnZZt0kXo
Momo: “Disappointment.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANALeR1P4K8b6
Izuku: “… Exactly. And not just in yourself, but you start to feel others’ disappointment in you. It wears you down and breaks you until you’re a mess of emotions.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAm3a08o1866
Momo: “How did… you deal with that?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA9jpjuAQtMm
The boy thinks back to Kiri, how she ate some of the negative emotions he had. If not for her, who knows what may have happened. He may have even…
53Please respect copyright.PENANAqPTvuhCZVG
Izuku: “I had help from Kiri. But… I also gained my quirk.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA6ec8G98D26
Momo: “I see… as I thought.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANACfp2Vi9m7r
Once again, Momo shrinks in on herself.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAoMenEhoxAu
Izuku: “B-But my quirk is not perfect! Yes, it’s powerful. Yes, it’s helped me become more confident. But it’s also brought me problems.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAXeXJQoBWmD
Momo: “What… problems?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAmVk8naVf7p
Should he tell her? What would she think of him? Would she see him as some monster?
53Please respect copyright.PENANAVoCaJnpttO
Izuku: ‘No! If I want to help her, I need to be honest. At least a little. Just enough that she understands.’
53Please respect copyright.PENANASbX6WgTlFp
So that’s what he does. He bares a bit more of his soul to her. About the darker side of his quirk, about what he can actually do. How dangerous it can be and the fear that causes in himself and others.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAYKrwpVaY5O
Pretty much the same thing he told Kiri.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAUq834Gmunk
Izuku: “So you see, I’m still not fully alright.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAljge6hYhlH
Momo: “I… had no idea.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANArryTeiobVh
Izuku: “I-It comes with being a hero, I guess. That’s why I don’t want to see you breakdown or become like how I was. You have so much potential, Yaoyorozu! I already gushed about your quirk and intelligence enough; you know what I think about you.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANASO8oAlDoFr
Momo: “But why? I’ve lost nearly every battle since I came here. I… refused to come here on recommendation because I wanted to prove that I have what it takes to be a hero. And I’m… failing. I’m letting everyone down.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAr21YPpOK27
Izuku: “But you don’t need to win every battle! Do you really not see how amazing you are?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAzS229Xidaj
Momo looks at Izuku for the first time since this started and sees how much admiration he holds within those emerald orbs.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAe1rDF0zU4u
Izuku: “During the battle trial, you led the heroes nearly to victory. If not for you, Jiro and Kaminari would have died during the villain attack. You almost beat me. You would have won the race if not for me causing Nogami to teleport. Then, outside of the ten million, you won the cavalry match.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAKjgtDfXioE
Izuku: “Sure, you didn’t get first place or win everything. But that’s fine.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAzVrTmLuc5e
The boy’s mind wanders to Endeavor, who hurt his son all because he was obsessed with being the number one hero.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA9dkYAfzhoq
Izuku: “Don’t be so obsessed with being number one or winning every fight. You’re perfect the way you are.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAxUnBFV9wph
Momo’s mouth fell open once more as she gazed into Izuku’s eyes with wonder. So much so, Izuku was getting self-conscious. A very beautiful girl was staring at him after all.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAEar1Junqz5
Izuku: “S-S-So, yeah, Sannomiya is strong, but you shouldn’t let this loss get you down. It was one fight, and we’re only going to get stronger from here. L-Let’s both go beyond and do our best. So that we can make sure we never let these negative emotions drag us down again!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAeJEc0h8z5i
Momo: “Midoriya… ”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA17Oejk0TYS
Izuku: “And I’ll be with you every step of the way.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAY9YGduCtP4
The reassuring smile and words filled with kindness. That combo did it.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA5GUEeIc10P
Moving with instinct alone, Momo closed the distance and captured the boy’s lips with her own. Izuku’s eyes flew open as he felt a sensation he never thought he would ever really experience.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAuijoTiV2hn
A kiss from a pretty girl.
53Please respect copyright.PENANADVQomxI3Ai
But because of that, he couldn’t kiss back. So, Momo regained her senses and blushed before pulling away.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAGNonv2PRxr
Momo: “I-I-I’m sorry! I don’t know what came over me!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAhUAXzMTFne
Izuku: “N-N-No, it’s fine! I was just… surprised, that’s all.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA8N7w3hfmbi
The two looked away, trying to hide the obvious blush painting their faces. Unable to speak right now, Momo spoke from the heart instead.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAFn6MXOTKHG
Momo: “Thank you, I-Izuku. For everything.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAwoi9uMdXjy
Still stunned by the kiss, he didn’t even register that she used his first name. What he did notice was Momo getting up and speeding away.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA7x8j55pIH9
He watched her go, still too shocked to get up himself.
53Please respect copyright.PENANACNyBrZGVDG
Izuku: “W-Whoa. A-A-A g-g-girl r-r-really k-k-kissed me.”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA0WjH3ZIFrA
Izuku: ‘I want to help her more. I know she can become a great hero. Maybe… could she handle One For All?’
53Please respect copyright.PENANAttPuKtQRrp
He would have stayed and thought about it more if not for the announcement of the next match, his.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA89IqgO2rgd
Izuku: “Oh! I better go!”
53Please respect copyright.PENANA8MsFQU6Mn0
The boy got up and sprinted to the arena, where he will face Todoroki.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA4V16Ot9k9O
Izuku: ‘I’ll help him too. I can do this!’
53Please respect copyright.PENANAw2sjO0YWkT
53Please respect copyright.PENANAetjwTPAVgw
Unbeknownst to the duo, they had another duo watching nearly the whole ordeal.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAmdgkQFSX6S
Jiro: “Whoa, I never thought Momo could be so bold. What do you think, Tae? Do you think Midoriya likes-”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAdpw0Xoc0iS
Jiro turns but finds no Kiri.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAxEKLjGEfLB
Jiro: “Huh?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANARUvRqshaUA
No, Kiri could not bear to watch it. She left as soon as she saw what was coming. Right now, in another part of the building, she is holding onto a wall. A wall she is slowly cracking.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA82lzgdbgaU
Kiri: “Izu… why?”
53Please respect copyright.PENANAO8kcKQhwge
Kiri: ‘HE’S MINE! WHY IS UDDERS KISSING HIM!? IT SHOULD BE ME! WHY DID I WAIT!?’
53Please respect copyright.PENANAlehaKUR1bf
The girl tried her hardest to keep the raging emotions down, but it was no use. She needed to vent. So, not giving a damn about cameras, she transforms into her Valkyrie persona.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAaMjI28LSlQ
She quickly moves through hallways, bypassing any who would recognize her and making her way outside.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAne1BbeVNf7
Kiri prays there are some quirk beasts out there, because right now, she needs to kill something.
