Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnmRVW5IIm
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ntDVmgto
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!!!”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDbR5Gcia8
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9AZ6z3xOX
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULEz03BuwO
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfaITwSsNG
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVmsbvqsJS
She doesn’t answer.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZPdCZfXfb
Present Mic: “READY?!”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAPnof9m03
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvJdgeHaEy
Present Mic: “START!!”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvyoJ4w9g7
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrSS1A58Vc
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbHO05OTaE
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji7JPUF3k8
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrnuv67L6L
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvknsySVvS
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2VAtVoO53
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLBLCuysVQ
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF0ksQwAXC
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ3Rbh0mvb
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD5qlQ8Emj
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKrQyUDEBp
Izuku: “Ugh.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkAme7qgrN
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRyfGoS36f
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBknX7qa3HL
Izuku: “What the-”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthE3hniwJF
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAQktTajFr
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53zbgvB4wH
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI1kXWc1Va
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8YEC4Oipg
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4qRzYawaa
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-
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9B6ESmy1T
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiAXxMVu2u
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHkb9Krk9q
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HQn8YVJN1
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!?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHLhSLv95v
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcCkOfXfg6
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3kWF1oJ8w
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHijHEaHca
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8tR1Mv0eR
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZzHsRy96v
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYSzIT0bLW
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB4HZhhw7B
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFgWY0cXld
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx45dZzCPzP
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoLS1ka0Nj
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK07uioh4Hx
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROnQpTqquX
She shouldn’t be winning.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4ivu0nVVM
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5k7sP2BJu
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTl0a9FQpr
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xEHcMpTGw
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrZnz5bljD
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu1ZvnDM8i
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zyRlIewH4
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUlROqNCEn
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs56dyM7zVO
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPc2xqP9Xq
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOdfBi4uH3
Her field breaks.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw4Xukc4Bx
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQqQBzsrru
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6czAZXc7rk
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNhqGE1ZFk
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsZA83CpsH
She’s inches from defeat.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxWyiuWfoq
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhbzK7Z9uv
It’s over.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KzSLEGRRI
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL7IZLQML5
She lost. She’s weaker.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxBY6WU3p1
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBFpAZwyrh
How could someone like her understand him?
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrMIHQYWZ9
How could he… love someone like her?
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXqaBoRFfN
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wupt3ONXR
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJBqSowUbr
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGy0cA3Xhv
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ73scsLpA
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA8FFbyEZk
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XQlaGJojV
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUh5b01yU8
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3joPoDgS80
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23oEYm0JrP
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrqROqKmwi
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdyjqDEmWv
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr5E9cYLGB
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwaXbHEau7
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYFoZvQhwd
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe2Knu5VFG
Kiri: “… You held back.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcacG6NafB
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF6vMmvGEn
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8fOqiXMqt
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoEMPKmo4J
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPxkIWUATY
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZBYQpYrD8
Izuku: “I… ”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaI5jKq5La
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?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQobCS9HTN
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIN7xwv6gF
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1yqKRnfyj
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg0qgMKJbq
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nAmMgmduT
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiqEJQ6tvY
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7vTH4qu57
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UZBCpHE6o
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgs0hnn1Td
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAIrVa6gPY
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTSs20Jjm5
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZILwUblnYR
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡberydwSjxF
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBR942nYSH
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjfWdygimW
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyITVcy4Gh
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7lcvNv4SZ
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TF6hoOktm
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqtIZKLcXf
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlpFtrfIMJ
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrW2ur6I0d
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvp5qFL1Vl
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTaYZqDSKa
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y7sMrQFHn
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstbd6VfKN3
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqcCXnvUP7
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOH7n8sy8P
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixAhyWendj
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9EHQXv1VZ
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN489pyC0NJ
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZUWd04ySD
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCBHQb6v0u
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-”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZIEhMAtUX
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMZCMieWlz
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXepEkmnPlY
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdARXiiWQm
With that, the conversation was over.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjYGm0ol0k
Fubuki: “Well?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELfFuxgYbc
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cRaZxlZwB
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4kh7vjpcb
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kzwqjlFWZ
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWzzuheOIV
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQriGWGNPj
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvKSMWpTvf
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjik7UWkAk5
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqRsiiTYsB
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1XmO9CSaS
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBHRuwoz9A
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhUSWkt8br
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxIgEtzwOp
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.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2gkVDaHOU
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVE4BCbN6K
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7pO89rm8r
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbKblc54R7
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?
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SRx7QKCp7
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg01M68kMxA
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMXTScUmH1
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaHVfw92C8
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwluSanEVU9
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegeMCBCnqx
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuy5qIjxZ6
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGqT7lsmhI
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt0dDeVIKk
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTZ423Wp7M
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt4Xr4ALXI
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAXUmxR4ez
Present Mic: “START!”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhrthgIS0y
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkw6CoxlT4
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ1jOAAOyE
It’s going to hurt, though.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovglmR6vP5
BOOM!!
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub00XHRMHu
Uraraka: “Ah!”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2IZRMljsf
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVXOkCdifN
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHelw8CXOmV
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD7FcpfPza
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fcy291Sjh
Sabrina: “Loc-”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LBs794TzF
Too late.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmRYDNUP6n
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E8yxC7mQG
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4814IWhwoN
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDNSHFYuLI
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyDACtSKJE
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4jvaG2oOH
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhRFc1Dw2J
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAF8VpTbPM
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNMBgazyuK
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIK4qPcnJe
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k18yxH4oF
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v18Xc8Zeh
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
