Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65hxmqvJ9u
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW7i6pyYBS
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!!!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj942EadVaW
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iTDApP9mV
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzVanwfuyI
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dfc9CAT7O
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXuV0Z9di5
She doesn’t answer.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOEhnXqDei
Present Mic: “READY?!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfnQUsSdmB
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2zOWi7PQv
Present Mic: “START!!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL6fO3Rq9r
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei3ymx3CfT
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloJNKLzC5X
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQa38KccQA
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIlffoKroL
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDJmxgrIRR
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9WBLPHAgs
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7Z0bvmUcV
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYRpqqwkps
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvQdy5IVGa
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDLpqC4tHs
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflL4O4PpjD
Izuku: “Ugh.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenW2ffsuNY
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7IQHDaROQ
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBH693TvmP
Izuku: “What the-”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQleAGAi5c
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqDWSupgSh
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMR6vdidxz
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH38N3kjiZ9
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwITdzcAxA
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYIgu7sn4C
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-
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5WyKMpFEs
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxur4McNZI
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoBM2BlA4C
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp6uqArBFv
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!?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb9qT4DXKV
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9jGlRIYgm
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBhaaHrepp
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CFxZJl2Hu
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvEfkNEEor
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqkqiCiIXt
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQG7mvCP8Y
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcnIkejt3x
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEJUedy5EB
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzyvzku3kU
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj88KsJ94fq
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8V1D9iQq5
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU26hg2JVzT
She shouldn’t be winning.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnSyEsWc0N
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN97c5YVh8v
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYlIGzDvby
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGivQGHY68
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYeAFZqqGS
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KAXEjI9U8
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwx1vwvJMV
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1p7rIxuaT
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNRWsXFrRW
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrAJLgdqET
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzle0CCk4wP
Her field breaks.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHf1Di98CH
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzThEcBNCQr
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkExQCuAdu
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCHWRdyOt2
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wiMNzeNcK
She’s inches from defeat.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQouFtwBOjh
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5V1KUGqCE
It’s over.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr71Hpwvk6n
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQVNhLjAGS
She lost. She’s weaker.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctxk9vvZug
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmD2wgZmrF
How could someone like her understand him?
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7BY1uv5Mf
How could he… love someone like her?
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGh7MMK6CQ
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOImH7gIQh
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF0pnWGaqg
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIUhGo2WEw
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ279g41JMyI
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKqgxM4JV6
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReN6X69gIo
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZtma02TeT
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3cN5nfXPo
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiCP5STMHL
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6L2MRs0Oy
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXix5N0c1xZ
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYpnSkavDE
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISLlBINi5J
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f10tTWRH3
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejPfM1XKtH
Kiri: “… You held back.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcD5E58gsZ
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiutk7ZJmLU
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOsr13nSwP
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE5huODWxC
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUCPfhi5tD
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisqvSoQOPF
Izuku: “I… ”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct9zgd4rfu
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?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJO00Uoz92
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb2Iturrr3
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr73sKo0WeD
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3BkuJWCbW
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZcTYER1DY
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLc3CXFihs
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuUCpEkI4z
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWEOwYwS1n
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZWlFMR49B
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMidm0NoSwT
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgRXnGraIx
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcycr5RB6zh
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawcPLtVaiE
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYJ8gO2Guo
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL6tlqIpiO
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw148vQc0tu
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn1Q0kbdAG
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDcp1S6g8P
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWqC1IuXuY
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroAtMsUTAa
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzABgmtJ9LE
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL14lgsHLI
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mpBKofU4z
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH0YenPS2e
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlJnjxagaI
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ5pUnHfcw
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPlTwmItbo
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDKaP7G8SS
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULWORZJtMT
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CLmx32LyU
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbswPUMZhUx
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLpDgjvXK1
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-”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bSOZClDum
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybvORe6gOt
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOntUnsGVlK
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaZ95BqDJ5
With that, the conversation was over.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjCYlwK7MX
Fubuki: “Well?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zG5LOc75z
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiYFn1KGXb
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUbvTjp7gT
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBJXI1LEE9
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2rwJPJtjD
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg1SmE9iFv
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY6FY4xOhl
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfY6sdF6jK
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNDxB2uQqR
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaDEOgjVJC
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qGzS0bm4w
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlglRgANCR
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeXTwAKwVW
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.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FDnk0FW3n
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeeTtB5vKS
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjElVDTb7ry
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkmoDEjvbh
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?
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLJU1Ih2AQ
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQJHLiFN69
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HmZONXj33
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwwbKBG1HN
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUp30vXelb
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWSXRweKvI
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXqipdq1QS
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2RvzBFwmZ
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacNAxRPucx
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKijqbYtTbS
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3XNFNKUOt
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8brVxSJh79
Present Mic: “START!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDVL2iov7q
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtW1tJjB2w
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAF5aOdtaj
It’s going to hurt, though.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNbet91jJX
BOOM!!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IV4fbeR0I
Uraraka: “Ah!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT6UJQ1mYB
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OeYIlv4to
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhVGFWLoVh
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYiUmmchVL
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4snyv3lSj2
Sabrina: “Loc-”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JbbQ7qs8M
Too late.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJwhznhp3T
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57Qh27r7kX
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8la58D7As8
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WLOTBQxFY
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Q1YKiGmt
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLSiOmB5W0
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU7Iwxggr2
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhVMCsryiF
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwDM8d4f3t
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlLRIbH4vs
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHtqdsAjyZ
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lhOdyhSUq
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
