Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhDap7A9OG
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WgmmgrJzi
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!!!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQW4RwCW6i
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPq76PVpKr
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSFEz54yrj
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXOO7EMk5a
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvsMl2OJo3
She doesn’t answer.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoiXqhh4dX
Present Mic: “READY?!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Y2ZD4eLk
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nN6Lfmi7P
Present Mic: “START!!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCS2n7AiaX
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KseWArkpW
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYNERBR3mQ
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLw5xBf8OF
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZXGo02K3g
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOW7YTeFnP
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazkKNP6cVt
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXj4lAtFVv
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprNqNdWuV2
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOneKtA01u
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyYeCKWVE4
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA2w4pnMuE
Izuku: “Ugh.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjxRb1qkoa
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U9P9G10VO
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gGAiwBOgo
Izuku: “What the-”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8C21tmQ6O
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeuPWICbbY
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO45OjfkWu
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2PisbFsLK
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN8mdnPuqI
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt3Ki22enR
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-
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIturRUISTa
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQoadLH13p
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxF2FN5Dtd
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwb1fSVBna
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!?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCfCeL70wu
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXcXZG5L3r
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdthXClcx67
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtX9pR6mMb
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSLKwjkIJd
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswlranNunx
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpvievcwqM
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkc9KcVDuy
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTf1suqZSk
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO9ToXUgjt
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZcqweBAda
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5V17bara4
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4P4IPeh4n
She shouldn’t be winning.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kQy8MSKLQ
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9z1oWr6oB
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ybW18lGUf
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOz3XvBbYH
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzqzpavx9E
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjdWdwgmfM
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aJREMNVv2
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbywQLkYb2
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJB4Zb7Y7E
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRqJumvbuL
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiufFihlD2
Her field breaks.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR89VDfN9d
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JJfxsYVeP
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvsBgDmQWL
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzutEkVKeqC
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFQAqKNlOw
She’s inches from defeat.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4A8enpe13
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rDuB71fCw
It’s over.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7aUB31rF1
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM0d32NiQc
She lost. She’s weaker.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrTDZlrIMF
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGX9gv7itv
How could someone like her understand him?
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQox7sqt5Mw
How could he… love someone like her?
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nUSPD0Ams
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTkyzckOrQ
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDcAIxKvcF
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWlF9aIfZC
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxht9dB0BkL
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f1dKaoTox
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYvNXsLX6y
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p3uJ9l9In
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JVpuiN2v9
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisrg0IOseu
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT0iHWD1ww
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtteg84EZA
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg2Xl99Zs7
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarfh9txf6P
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH0JzaCCUP
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCohZFqY9l
Kiri: “… You held back.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSGELR4jEA
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF6qjmBvJt
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFeCczW3MU
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uW4PA5cEA
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIShSd0Kwjn
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUE2OTGvWS
Izuku: “I… ”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqCT0n8i6H
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?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqWSbg0Dc0
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkT8CDf62U
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobT1gF6CiB
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt2BETtdDa
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkPMOo8OkN
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB6hIXXLsm
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9nIYhQLyI
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHmOc29DzZ
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqkCzwcKF9
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP0eXm84g1
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltbSdYjNNz
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYKEMRMRde
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdT0ExCUvI
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPLccGLzPz
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8WC87nlEz
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AFgorn161
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnairC6We17
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKIiZz2gdA
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJppXxiK3H
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs4Hb8MIOt
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA98p0C1odz
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ySKdwz31
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxThN9kk2Rs
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KNFhnNVre
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGsucypwH2
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvpO77hySo
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SfK2tdQlf
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PB9tNGWDS
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmLUIL1uLC
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3eHFd2wyj
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjMNqQZKyb
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo8UbseXsc
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-”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76bYwAlMK0
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1ZuWz0Rmj
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AkhAMqX4X
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrb8nTrssf
With that, the conversation was over.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPsZrJfpAS
Fubuki: “Well?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMcCZMAddy
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA9EYbF4xz
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvViNQUEzCr
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfDlxuX9B1
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEvdTq39uH
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SrlO2Ykcv
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RQknWhrif
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnpr411YMy
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vytWapsPG
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqF8tumHDf
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhxOpNRwUE
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupxrPTYPWn
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmot7Urek8
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAmxUjjeRb
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxRRM62C1q
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYOghdyHhT
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ80EwIz6O
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?
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh125pMb7R
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoQGOhVJGD
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroNCVU1C7u
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL6U4xZEje
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfptzjcduYm
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOTEg1Z7xz
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAGqRQt2nS
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBTSi8vNMl
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETJafi2Bt4
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Os63Tkrs
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaizJSNZnM6
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDNoW6VDG6
Present Mic: “START!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36RZLLqzSr
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8IiGfRN3o
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0RQRJeZ6N
It’s going to hurt, though.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8bBIgjDWs
BOOM!!
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbnUjEr4OI
Uraraka: “Ah!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyVXSDtRZ0
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6HhLH3Fe3
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4B5sz8I2b
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo39lO9eD5k
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9iHeat9sI
Sabrina: “Loc-”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblyRMUSyB2
Too late.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4OfS8C76x
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDYfVgBXSu
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTPhsCqk1z
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOiSw6ntsp
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbeod3NsSN
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV86Oqa9PyG
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWtKdghwsW
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkA0s25IIS
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEZmmoZIFN
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rvnw8MK8C
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jmr2WomPj
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvDGTsi0of
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
