Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrZF46mNou
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn7v716kkQ
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!!!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXmBshzIwq
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFHp5caTkT
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgO8gRZ3GB
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQfKRY9FEc
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf9n872OJX
She doesn’t answer.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCok41oSPYq
Present Mic: “READY?!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgilhucrhRt
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd8jK9gMfi
Present Mic: “START!!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO7rQCzFec
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhPuziQJER
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyI3urlyMG
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPCvUiEHYb
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw2AYwBp2W
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLbGuLgMek
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm09pUwJ6sb
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DZzShTjhE
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV800eEp1Fa
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFwJaSaL8s
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKlHwJozWz
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mOeM9PXaI
Izuku: “Ugh.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUOWtYIX1S
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OVZA5JCLz
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYztYY1mze
Izuku: “What the-”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOysqLVgrZF
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN8Q05mpt0
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Om1mucSYX
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLUxMavkPc
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEnCOFUxcv
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aW2zn4wCQ
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-
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXv7Ci06Lq
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUnZ5aDbPB
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBamLfL01i4
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitplOvZBzM
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!?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZBNlklcQ3
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZUw2cWyBy
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU3n8dC4BS
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynTAZeE3jA
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2vc9n9C5E
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuox5TPKqEU
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQPv8T6YOR
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj0z2YRN1B
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqdCxDl4wp
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4U5fZ5zVl
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmFmEE41T8
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpKNZKRmCe
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhSs8pDsFc
She shouldn’t be winning.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGCCfyDTKj
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCDRTNkqoq
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnnqb6fVXx
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh0u2aIUPT
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28QSsEjt2w
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgtweeUDM6
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2SD0pPCXM
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3uHmCK1Ua
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jKHEN4FgI
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqciyCHUj1
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaupRqSoHNl
Her field breaks.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPquqaQwXZ
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtL2hyjlAa
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo53941Zlg
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v5qquaD6V
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVInqu9quf
She’s inches from defeat.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIwC67HwZx
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaI8O6CuBa
It’s over.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTst8e2rvr
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkJKatb6CZ
She lost. She’s weaker.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHptptYhd5s
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQkKx5trHv
How could someone like her understand him?
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHir1wMW50A
How could he… love someone like her?
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHF7aExPO4
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxdEDfP5YZ
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVg5no928d
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrLCrnI2rW
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOTF9UxIbN
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakCaEq0u9b
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw5FfRm569
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe61M9q4Ai
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKousXTIete
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhZLbo3giB
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsP0RFhnKV
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtss3Ir9J21
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJFCaTK5kU
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7woaPkmP8o
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnunG0CyHUR
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC8aNeRnYP
Kiri: “… You held back.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEwgNiblVl
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8GVMJm8xT
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMt5tMEdBF
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6J6k4SXEV
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4V0DOqvLQ
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnMzuSdpbT
Izuku: “I… ”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu55bgtXPO
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?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCWWA9tngy
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmopEfWhIM
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy5TAbmlux
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWIoRxzmk4
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCYsSkTK38
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bAhWh1MaK
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCopJGztfp7
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqLKpUTIpr
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrWy9jCxD6
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30mhat9qAW
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmUFS9Lq7l
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb177dnUZh
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYTN7pHkp2
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO3iGAyasc
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXO2opjZiZ
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhulcBcrtB
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4p2bC117I
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S0RtsdkEM
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ0N9C6PHY
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbXLkw8qFZ
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PyfxO2XZj
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC7TEcKzdq
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr2EH8ZNZP
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXipXitUFPK
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rw08oVbVq
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwjBlli7gf
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3gYfsQeZ6
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO2QiFkBHb
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ341eabSp
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddiotZFQoB
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDfuc8XuCL
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV0oNvlGqq
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-”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP5whQrmlt
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYQablhjYX
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18B4WTpd45
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG0GQCoboW
With that, the conversation was over.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h1IWvJajK
Fubuki: “Well?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LVkoBo7i8
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc3mi28nta
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZffBqKpR6I
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc5RZ2FtdZ
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtv0RG8wBR
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ8tGO1CbQ
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFXe5NQBBQ
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6VUqrEWhn
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsA0jDgSce
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3ntnZD2EX
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvyBV0NLRg
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yfhv3ycQn
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlUB9fadfz
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.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rFjCwtenw
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaUCw8G0C2
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyRBq3GxVs
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DMmB5g8fT
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?
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjiSbQfUrp
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXwcAqIdkq
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ909zJcgjF9
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusxTWIxctC
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCgjJQNjKn
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kIda4mkUJ
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDbuMQNPD7
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaPc7to6nL
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ferEJm65
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTGzlu3Blx
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xjvy9wTTy
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAYd1gCQwH
Present Mic: “START!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZgj9EEqVL
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOq8c0IkNe
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrlp2VLU0t
It’s going to hurt, though.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8NlTucLN4
BOOM!!
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoD79V2bUy
Uraraka: “Ah!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLKgzcaXsx
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T3hsUBkoa
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25WGVIZPz3
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmaIcuhq6O
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UaKWmfApz
Sabrina: “Loc-”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PMhAmR3oh
Too late.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVBh6T7Gbc
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRZsw8wYEu
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3QR0P6dzR
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCepu7lcE6
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqGr9FxpqF
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeWwB32P5V
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLrWVtCEs7
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQLeyqq6bp
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLswhuvNEa7
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUysdOa0QUS
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmL9nuDrTr
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJBFb8fTLs
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
