The match was over; despite Uraraka’s best efforts, she had lost.
45Please respect copyright.PENANADPjFcnrXNu
Izuku: “Uraraka… ”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAHbPzfWit2H
Kiri: “Good fight though.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAadMmBh88av
Denki: “Still brutal.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAB1yWcPYIJ1
Jiro: “Is it over?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAVd9tP4cYME
Momo: “Yes, you can uncover your eyes now.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA0xZvV0JV9M
Izuku: “I-I’ll go check on her. Tell me what happens with the next match if I don’t make it in time.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAgesYlsMKp9
Kiri: “… Nh.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAJVWCGPg4pE
Izuku excused himself and made his way to where Uraraka might be. Along the way, he actually ran into Bakugo.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAYVI1UWRzLE
Izuku: “Kacchan.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAstALGLz85G
Uncharacteristically, Bakugo said nothing and studied the boy before asking his question.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAXDm7EAfud7
Bakugo: “… Oi, were you the one who put that plan in her head? The plan that had her fling herself so dangerously!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAxuy7XYKNaj
Izuku: “… No. The plan, all of it, was what Uraraka herself came up with to beat you. It… was pretty cool, right?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANASQDdxJAAbQ
Bakugo: “… Hmph.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAkmzX1Qkg45
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAj94s4XdauL
45Please respect copyright.PENANAAL6BeqQaKb
Sero: “Yo, hey, that was nearly as tough as your face is villain-y!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAwRoF7K9emm
Tsuyu: “It was a weird match up, but you played an amazing little heel nonetheless, Bakugou.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANArI5zPhdpwV
Bakugo: “Shut up, just shut your goddamn mouths!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAKhKvVR3Ati
Denki: “But damn, man, you’re able to blast a fragile little girl with abandon. Knowing me, I couldn’t go through with it.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAcscUK329Du
Tsuyu: “But you got beat pretty easily, Kaminari.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAFz28wksW1m
Denki: “… Hey now, c’mon, Tsuyu…”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAk1ArLwz9AJ
Bakugo sat down with a huff and thought back to the match.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAgZtbyhi5S4
Bakugo: ‘Where do you see ‘Fragile’?’
45Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ7W5WYsrK
Kiri: “Pay attention.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAtMAIRNWmgs
Kiri’s words caught everyone’s attention; her face was especially focusedon this match. Makes sense; it involves one of the psychics.
45Please respect copyright.PENANACECIfNedZk
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!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAT48C0iiKLT
Bakugo: “Tch.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAeSqqRShAPv
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANACo5UqLkJIB
Present Mic: “In the other corner, we have another one from class 1-B, Juuzou Honenuki.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA0QWHc0JWIX
The two classmates stand opposed to one another, ready for action. Well… not really.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAogsh4iiuhU
Sabrina: “I’m sorry, Honenuki. You did well to get this far.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAyaPVfOPQxk
Honenuki: “Thanks.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAxBSLH3kbIW
Present Mic: “Start!!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAemYH7HtcIL
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAI1kEgTDVcO
Midnight: “R-Ring out! Sabrina Kanto advances to the next round.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAWjWw8dqW8C
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!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAABD8jt5DSX
Sabrina said nothing as she left the ring. As for class-1…
45Please respect copyright.PENANA3uPa11vGx2
Jiro: “That was… too fast.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAgAUjsbqp73
Denki: “You know, I’m glad I’m out. I won’t have to face that.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAvDrnHFz2ue
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAekgtdxZDAQ
But the one panicking the most was Momo.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA9a4BUviLdH
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… ’
45Please respect copyright.PENANACQVWoCUIFM
Jiro: “Momo, are you okay?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAN7Mm9Ocyph
Momo: “Y-Yes. Just thinking about my upcoming match.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA55YfJVkU9D
Jiro: “I’m sure you’ll do fine. You’re so smart; I know you’ll come up with a plan to win.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAR1qQfQoSlr
Momo: “T-Thank you, Kyoka.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAfRU2Bhem6R
Momo: ‘But you think too highly of me.’
45Please respect copyright.PENANAuY8bd8RGgT
45Please respect copyright.PENANAIodyOEdwUP
Izuku walks out of the waiting room where he found Uraraka. As he leaves, he can hear faint crying.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAqpoeR7HA42
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-”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAVSYTCnwfOI
Just then, Endeavor of all people appeared from the side hallway.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAOerLS3ot0k
Izuku: “E-Endeavor!?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANASv9JO9TFQD
Endeavor: “Oho, so you are here.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAi9uyJ0llgD
Izuku: “W-What? Were you looking for me?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANANjbI1jtOit
Endeavor: “Yes, not only did you make an impression, but you seem close to that Kiri Tae girl.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAQDYb2C7F6J
Any nervousness Izuku had went out the door, and in came a much colder glare. One that made Endeavor smile.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAfDNvBiXjr0
Izuku: “What do you want with her?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAll79D8fESL
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.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANARx8S0z8vJ0
Izuku: “So what?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAEo3OVDCnWB
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.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAiLdLXdlTce
Instinctively, Izuku smirked and whispered-
45Please respect copyright.PENANAtVnS8IDCFb
Izuku: “We’re not the challengers here.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAaezuP0m9Mv
Endeavor: “What was that?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA166vK8S4nU
Catching himself, Izuku covered his mouth.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAWK2QtbbSEL
Izuku: ‘What was that?! Why did I say that?!’
45Please respect copyright.PENANAqoYGQuIMxO
Quickly recovering, Izuku changed his tune and thought back to what Todoroki said to him.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA6cWO18oxLS
Izuku: “I-I-I said that Kiri is not All Might, and I’m not my sister.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAfwLYsJABN5
Endeavor: “Obviously.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAX95IcqnEWz
Izuku: “Right? Then Todoroki, is not you either.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA8LqgbNPU9h
Endeavor narrowed his eyes at Izuku, but it didn’t intimidate him. In fact, Izuku coolly walked past the walking torch stick.
45Please respect copyright.PENANABRB4iF4jHw
Recollecting himself, he eventually made it in time to see the end of the next match.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAMQJZLlOZfK
Present Mic: “Ring out!! And that’s the end of the match!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAv4KIu1wkK5
Midnight: “Kaoru Akashi makes it to the next round!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAadDnL74fFo
Kaoru: “Aw man, I didn’t finish it as fast as Sabrina. You did well, Tokoyami.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAj30ay37DEx
Kaoru, glowing like a miniature sun, holds out her hand to the downed Tokoyami.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAGl4PQThFeL
Tokoyami: “Turn off the light… ”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAHN50gINjDB
Kaoru: “Oh! Sorry.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAPF6BA2kf6m
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAvsYybMEWYO
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANARgpMwAE0lZ
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAGJqd6xjFpg
Denki: “Man, at this rate, the only hope for our class coming in on top is the Midoriyas, Todoroki, and Bakugo.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAq1fnXKg7j8
For that insensitive comment, he got a slap over the head by Jiro’s ear jacks.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAsHRHA90qpa
Jiro: “Oi.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANADsMc7NZbvP
Denki: “Ah… sorry.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA5iMDhjxS6z
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAM5cdNDMJWV
Momo: “I better get ready.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANApt7U4BQq4z
Momo got up and headed towards the waiting room. But before she could exit the stand, she ran into Izuku.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAe1N2HGi6q4
Momo: “Midoriya.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA1PEvG089sD
He said nothing, just put his hand on her shoulder and smiled.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA65rFsHyuGk
Izuku: “Give it everything you’ve got, Yaoyorozu.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA1Gf4ZACfeB
She gave him a soft smile and nodded.
45Please respect copyright.PENANASInVdlPkdK
Momo: “I will, thank you.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA46VqIFNL9U
She moves past him and prepares for her match.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA1XkyG9QO9S
Five minutes later.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAlrczixjCkX
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!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAhJxCnrLokV
She comes up to the platform with a weapon already in hand, a bo staff.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAFxGSH5Sfac
Present Mic: “Her opponent, the mysterious psychic girl that managed to talk her way into having a sword. Class 1-B’s Shiho Sannomiya.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAHpVPRKHdJD
The girl smiles as she brings the sword Momo made for her to bear.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAulmud1qEpm
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAEH0Lpc701M
Present Mic: “Start!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAAnO1E3i3tR
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAW4h3oc2Pzz
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAt7UnwunvhR
But the person in front of her was a goddess with the blade. There was no contest.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAHvkFdPurCK
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAy67zUmHfor
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAm7GQpnBKZc
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAb4FxUS6IoA
Midnight: “Ring out! Shiho Sannomiya proceeds to the next round!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAnRQ88lzVJZ
Present Mic: “You heard it, folks! The first round is over! We’ll get back to it after a short break!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA4JTPhQ7i6D
When the world stopped spinning, Momo realized where she was and what happened.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAinkJnM6QAI
She looked up to see her classmates looking down at her with surprise and worry. She quickly turned away.
45Please respect copyright.PENANANjYIJalg1D
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.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA5m3oygsTc3
Momo: “So… I never stood a chance.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANACW9pcvjnno
Shiho: “Not unless you were a master too or had some trick that could catch a master off-guard.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAlxgengMUer
Momo: “I see… thank you… for informing me.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA0UooLVj4va
The two shake hands, and Momo fails to see Shiho’s eyes flash light blue again.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA6M7655v4bU
Shiho: “Ah… I really am sorry. You deserved to win more than me.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAaZmq5lvN4l
But Momo doesn’t hear her; instead she walks back to the waiting room in a daze.
45Please respect copyright.PENANANEytcp23bm
As for the rest of class 1-A.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAKTRKaXUvkf
Jiro: “Poor Momo.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAqE3Q9kMb9F
Tsuyu: “Kero.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAm0ZmXrchfu
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAeM2MShhflT
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAFVP0deUEBe
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA4i5wgCyBsb
Jiro: “Whoa, what the-”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAZklCVBqXVe
Kiri: “Onii?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAsPcxThAAi3
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANADMr5qrgNxE
Izuku steeled his heart and approached her. His footsteps caught her attention; seeing who came to see her, she quickly wiped away her tears.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAmRre1ubYxc
Momo: “M-Midoriya…”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAHsohQicVA1
Izuku: “M-Mind if I sit down?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAC1vXyPJfsU
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAXOSnDmOD9B
Izuku: “I… understand how you’re feeling right now.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANADPJIywZR4A
Apparently, that was the wrong thing to say. Momo shrinks as she tightens her fists.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAC6s0r54ajJ
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.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAmUTdXSmpYZ
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?
45Please respect copyright.PENANAgGVXgzzY2l
Izuku: “… I didn’t always have a quirk.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA3qEDNQqNzX
Momo: “… What?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAIOEWANzvbK
Her body stills, and her fist loosens.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAOlRjjB9xCM
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.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAEWzpagrcK2
Momo’s mouth opens as Izuku continues to lay a part of his soul out to her.
45Please respect copyright.PENANADqkfSjgpH0
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-”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAGajmDwrlCv
Momo: “Disappointment.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANATiRL7PeUGN
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.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANARMdT45Lf0y
Momo: “How did… you deal with that?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAS4LOSENBis
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…
45Please respect copyright.PENANAACUnL3FfGm
Izuku: “I had help from Kiri. But… I also gained my quirk.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAYuBmExI2fX
Momo: “I see… as I thought.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAdqrsVuL3tm
Once again, Momo shrinks in on herself.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAmBfjWSmQeo
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.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAn3TWGgxog7
Momo: “What… problems?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAB3lQjSXuM6
Should he tell her? What would she think of him? Would she see him as some monster?
45Please respect copyright.PENANAVeZfkfntGH
Izuku: ‘No! If I want to help her, I need to be honest. At least a little. Just enough that she understands.’
45Please respect copyright.PENANA4WNsM69QE7
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAzfHoSMjiu5
Pretty much the same thing he told Kiri.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA5dWH8GpWld
Izuku: “So you see, I’m still not fully alright.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA0awuknqPgN
Momo: “I… had no idea.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAuJkdhdGEmM
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.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAAuEQTqDA24
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.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAf9wuSM8bFf
Izuku: “But you don’t need to win every battle! Do you really not see how amazing you are?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAs12S072uWM
Momo looks at Izuku for the first time since this started and sees how much admiration he holds within those emerald orbs.
45Please respect copyright.PENANANOfQnkvOGo
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.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANASw3sBxPR2s
Izuku: “Sure, you didn’t get first place or win everything. But that’s fine.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANALb2VVSN3ha
The boy’s mind wanders to Endeavor, who hurt his son all because he was obsessed with being the number one hero.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAevlQGQiGGk
Izuku: “Don’t be so obsessed with being number one or winning every fight. You’re perfect the way you are.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAotVHs14cBo
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAJODqSImEVy
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!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1BMOYow94
Momo: “Midoriya… ”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAszcQgp3RT1
Izuku: “And I’ll be with you every step of the way.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAELI1FYEBrk
The reassuring smile and words filled with kindness. That combo did it.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAhtPa70G1Za
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAgk6aeOU2gv
A kiss from a pretty girl.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA6O9Iy9CwVn
But because of that, he couldn’t kiss back. So, Momo regained her senses and blushed before pulling away.
45Please respect copyright.PENANABgyltnGQan
Momo: “I-I-I’m sorry! I don’t know what came over me!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAAGxhMmu5gP
Izuku: “N-N-No, it’s fine! I was just… surprised, that’s all.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANATXHar6DM7e
The two looked away, trying to hide the obvious blush painting their faces. Unable to speak right now, Momo spoke from the heart instead.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAZHxcKYJwbv
Momo: “Thank you, I-Izuku. For everything.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAvWV5B1tGNe
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAIseKAoKG1q
He watched her go, still too shocked to get up himself.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAqZmVGHEeBL
Izuku: “W-Whoa. A-A-A g-g-girl r-r-really k-k-kissed me.”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAsAZ5nrULsM
Izuku: ‘I want to help her more. I know she can become a great hero. Maybe… could she handle One For All?’
45Please respect copyright.PENANAUzwnbOprec
He would have stayed and thought about it more if not for the announcement of the next match, his.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAZR7OFKw4ko
Izuku: “Oh! I better go!”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAXNGkx4rLtG
The boy got up and sprinted to the arena, where he will face Todoroki.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAQCb1NNq6th
Izuku: ‘I’ll help him too. I can do this!’
45Please respect copyright.PENANAKzuI1Xj0kN
45Please respect copyright.PENANAfMOcB5rqGs
Unbeknownst to the duo, they had another duo watching nearly the whole ordeal.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA5DGrbCZZss
Jiro: “Whoa, I never thought Momo could be so bold. What do you think, Tae? Do you think Midoriya likes-”
45Please respect copyright.PENANA0A24rzXvCN
Jiro turns but finds no Kiri.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAtWxf0CaXKb
Jiro: “Huh?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAFyvqTo33cu
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4jZz0i8TS
Kiri: “Izu… why?”
45Please respect copyright.PENANAUpHDUTmlLh
Kiri: ‘HE’S MINE! WHY IS UDDERS KISSING HIM!? IT SHOULD BE ME! WHY DID I WAIT!?’
45Please respect copyright.PENANACsB09Fwk3R
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAO5Cxn7tPQ1
She quickly moves through hallways, bypassing any who would recognize her and making her way outside.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAl3a2BIyHYm
Kiri prays there are some quirk beasts out there, because right now, she needs to kill something.
