Before the exercise ended, Bakugo woke up in the nurse’s office. His head still hurts a bit. Whoever hit him is going to pay, but first, he needs to take stock of his location.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06BVvfN2ld
To his right was a snoring Kirishima. He was a bit banged up, but he seemed fine. But to his left was…Deku.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI4XdlOhRH
He looks fine, but for whatever reason, he’s still unconscious. But for once, he’s not his focus. It was his girlfriend who was staring daggers at him.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQM9zJGZCB
Now it was clear who knocked him out.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5o6iIxP7E
Bakugo: “You!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggzptNABrV
Kiri: “Me.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7LQiGBVFy
Before Bakugo could start something, the door opened to reveal Recovery Girl.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALTsWoLZMb
Recovery Girl: “No! No fighting in my office, do you two understand?!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TwWPa6nlS
Bakugo: “Tch.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZZF1y1Ugw
Kiri: “Fine.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TY5bwgxxR
Recovery Girl: “Good grief. Instead of being ready to fight, you should be counting your blessings. You could’ve been in a far worse state.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TrCtnjqI8
Bakugo: “Ha, Deku was the one in danger. I won our fight!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iCEPObQK5
Kiri: “No, you didn’t.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazM7OesoxK
Bakugo: “What the fuck did you say, ghost girl!?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszTW3QN1p2
Kiri: “That you’re a sore loser, bomb boy.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhliwhiGgZA
Bakugo: “Why you-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxInABsZwXc
Recovery Girl: “She’s right, you know. You might have died if not for Midoriya.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj03HI915p
Bakugo: “What the hell are you talking about!? I won our fight! I was barely damaged!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif6ePtAEo5
Recovery Girl: “That’s because he shielded you during the clash.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JrgEZD2u4
His eyes became pinpricks as she said that. It…couldn’t be.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo2mk4NWeD
Bakugo: ‘He… what?’
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARxNI3WY4u
Recovery Girl: “I was also watching the battles, and a few seconds before the explosion, a green shield enveloped you.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSwDNnTagT
Bakugo: “No… why would he-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTaEvZv7Up
Kiri: “You don’t deserve his kindness. You’re no better than a villain, lower than scum. You’re the one who deserves to di-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEt36Lhyhg
Recovery Girl: “Let’s not be so hasty to wish death on another, Tae. He’s still just a kid.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLu2d8c7XD
Kiri: “…No excuses.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDfADy8Ets
The fact Recovery Girl is speaking to Kiri as if she’s an adult didn’t register. Instead, it was the cold hard facts of the battle.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRilzsJJJW
Bakugo: ‘If that’s true, then… I didn’t win. Not even close.’
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4omZoVbrk
Bakugo: ‘Despite going all out, I-I… lost to… Deku!?’
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCplaCJpqs
The young boy began to hyperventilate. The world didn’t make sense anymore. Even when he’s a pebble, even when Bakugo beats on him, Deku refuses to give up or leave him be.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DxjvIVyjk
Yet again, Deku shows concern for him when he doesn’t need it.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz4WMG3k7j
Or deserve it.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYisHMZez3
He can’t accept that stray thought, not yet. Instead, one cornerstone is crumbling.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEK27vNXbD
Bakugo: ‘He’s… not a pebble anymore.’
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleKeQY5XQ7
This fact is undeniable. Deku is no longer a mere pebble but a peer, a proper obstacle in his path.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXsnyyp0Zl
But with a quirk like his, with his rate of growth, won’t their positions reverse?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHVBVk2fyq
The idea of being a pebble to the one he once disregarded and, at one time, cared for as a weak but loyal friend, it was too much.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosZqrKs6UO
If not for Recovery Girl’s words, he would have shattered.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOtYF4NUaU
Recovery Girl: “It would seem the exercise has concluded with the villain's victory, and everyone is returning to class. You are free to join them for the review.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RPTdXAZvK
Bakugo escaped his self-destructive spiral, but he had little strength to do much else. He got up, walked out, headed to the classroom and sat at his desk.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5oBOC0Blx
In silence.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1oBG07VTF
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeAeos0bFr
Phoenix: “Here you are, again.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxHweWcuqu
Izuku was floating in a void filled with stars and again looked up at those enormous green orbs.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPutXMJTce8
Izuku: “Haha, I guess Kacchan’s attack was stronger than I thought.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRysU9FQqs3
Phoenix: “You weren’t damaged that badly.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN5CIt5tqX
Izuku: “Then… why am I here? Is there something wrong?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3cwcCYrxl
Phoenix: “Not at the moment. Just a small concern.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOM6EOyki7
Izuku: “What?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtYOeBxg6v
Phoenix: “Why did you defend that child?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLioZAEPahi
Izuku: “Because… despite everything, I still don’t want to severely hurt Kacchan. I was… unsure if I could fully control Psi Explosion.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHHiB336fO
Phoenix: “So it’s okay for him to severely harm you?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUDZdvvUyN
Izuku: “…”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmggXFUjSbe
Phoenix: “For what is coming, you’ll need to know which bridges to cross and which to burn. You must avoid baggage. The enemy will use it against you.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI8SscgGBd
Izuku: “Kacchan is not baggage! Besides, what enemy are you talking about? Is it some villain?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzu06fd3xM
Phoenix: “In a way. I foresee villains of this world will play a major role in what is come. But the future is ever shifting. You must be ready. Continue to grow strong; I’m counting on you.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJS6fpscks
Izuku: “R-Right.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5PAXoIGC3
Like before, the space begins to shake and collapse.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeTuFEUicU
It’s time to wake up.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp2BHEqSwQ
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3ijqpSzJn
It took all she had to stop herself. It would be so easy to pop his head open like a-
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa0te4yvgA
No! That’s not heroic!
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGe1rXvlXZ
But he hurt onii-chan! MY ONII-CHAN!
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6UA7hnYdE
Kiri placed a hand on her forehead; it ached with some foreign emotion. But as she looked down at her beloved, it eased. As long as she was with him, and he accepted her, she would be happy.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiMIFh09lg
Nothing else mattered.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQs0YyXN5s
She stroked his hair and smiled. She loved him. She really did.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPJpYHPaJz
Then that strange feeling emerged in her chest again, stronger and more positive this time. It was warm and pleasant. Her eyes wandered to his lips, and an urge to touch them with her own slipped into her mind.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfqklu2i99
She didn’t know why or what this meant. But she wanted to do it. So she slowly leaned down and closed her eyes.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yv8Z5WUzz
Izuku: “Mmmm.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcLRpQcfPq
For whatever reason, Kiri quickly backed away when she heard him waking up.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn8XuOpYbB
Kiri: “I-Izuku?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnLkUVR2HP
Izuku: “Kiri, where am I? And… why are you blushing?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxmigLEA7B
Kiri: “Blushing?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHa0jwLJQ6
Izuku: “Your face is red.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB1XLZkFcf
Kiri: “I-I don’t know.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbWmUduA4E
Recovery Girl: “You’re finally awake; good. Everyone is waiting for you in the classroom.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2XUEG1mAb
The two looked at Recovery Girl, who was sitting on a chair nearby. Whether she saw what Kiri was going to do, is unknown.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw5elzS4AC
Izuku: “So the exercise is over? Who won?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIjV3Auakw
Recovery Girl: “Villains.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcncYjN0e6y
Izuku: “O-Oh.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJa4TTuWBj
Kiri could already feel him blaming himself. She grabbed his hand.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLDdaOZBNm
Kiri: “It’s not your fault.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOKBv71n8a
Izuku: “But if I tried harder and beat Kacchan… ”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBaR6hTGjz
Kiri: “Doesn’t… mean you should blame yourself. You did the best you could. Exercise… a team effort. Shouldn’t… carry all the burden.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49X0eyy2Jr
Izuku smiles at her, a sight that deepens the red in her cheeks.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I2979kHVA
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgfpP6KVmQ
She feels his thumb rub the top of her hand. She returns the smile and suppresses the urge to touch his lips again.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRiq28AUhl
Recovery Girl: “Aw, you two are adorable.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzqigU9rq3
Kiri: “Nh.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaueACTyDkG
Izuku doesn’t even try to argue this time. He’ll clear it up soon, but right now he should get back to class.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XsPp2DzR3
Izuku: “So we’re free to go?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4tpfdRtih
Recovery Girl: “Yep, your flames did most of the work. It’s actually strange that you didn’t wake up sooner.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VoD8UZOmE
Izuku: “Haha, y-yeah, strange. Let’s go, Kiri.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH04wo1hQg
Kiri: “Nh.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOutYuaOzL
The two left the office and began the short walk back to class. All the while, Kiri held onto Izuku’s hand. But, she wanted more. So she leaned her head on his shoulder, nuzzling it.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lI6xLWUCW
Izuku: “You’re being very… affectionate.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHK2lTJhVS
Kiri: “Nh. I… like it. Do… you?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHWOUl6IUy
Izuku: “I… don’t mind it. But I don’t want the misunderstanding to continue.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ubp31FO4B
Kiri: “…Would it…be so bad?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4k3Mcv100
Izuku: “Kiri, we talked about this.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rjAki7Ny9
Kiri: “…I know. But… at home?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqjJzU1MfD
Izuku sighed but accepted her proposal. There’s nothing wrong with simple affectionate gestures between siblings. What’s the worst that can happen?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg7aMuPN78
Izuku: “That’s fine.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnihfG77she
Kiri: “… Okay.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJYv8Ewl9R
She can accept that, for now. So she removes her hand and head from her beloved onii-chan. The warmth was gone but only for a while. The school day was almost over after all.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNljeM8sisX
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YWxUI2N1i
After remembering to change back into their school uniforms, the duo opened the door to the classroom. Everyone was sitting down except for Aizawa, who seemed ready to leave.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI2zTYOWvT
Aizawa: “Finally here, sit down.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX0au1ilLy
Izuku could tell some people wanted to talk to him. Either about the epic fight or just because they were worried. But Aizawa’s presence shut that stuff down; he wanted to get this done and go to sleep.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Oiiao4cN
Aizawa: “I saw the footage and took the liberty of looking at all of your evaluations. You can look at them at your own time, but there are some things to discuss.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QtzbMH1HP
Aizawa: “First, who do you all did the best in this exercise?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzUG5OLa1W
“Yaoyorozu!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaahJc8MJpk
Momo: “Achoo!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmxGHaaOYM
The answer was immediate. So much so, that the now-sick Momo couldn’t register it right away.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhSwSr4d1C
Momo: “W-Wait, me?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcctH4rV0V2
Jiro: “Yeah, you did great.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGCMPZ9ffr
Ida: “A true hero we all can learn from!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfJMQqcOCf
Mina: “You were so cool, Yaomomo.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLaYsibQ5V
Momo: “But I… lost. How could I have the highest marks? I think Todoroki deserves it more.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPxkHHm9p4
Aizawa: “Yes, but you demonstrated the traits every hero should have. Prioritizing the safety of the citizens and a strong will. Even when the odds were against you, you fought on anyway.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqmQZ34LgK
Momo: “I… don’t know what to say.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamRJare3lm
Izuku: “He’s right; you even came up with the plan. It didn’t work because I… messed up.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM2wGi7Bkd
Sero & Uraraka: “We did too.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Up7Tw5Iva
Izuku: “But the plan was solid. You were the most heroic person in the field. Don’t doubt that.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuxWkJcVud
Momo: “T-Thank you, Midoriya. I appreciate it.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKYR7w5FdU
He gives him a sweet smile that nearly makes the poor boy blush. But the moment was interrupted by Aizawa.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUt0eAfocc
Aizawa: “Speaking of mess ups, Midoriya and Bakugo.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPR01fMbJe
The two stiffened up when their names were called.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtSvKy13rS
Aizawa: “Everyone, except maybe Tae, who was more interested in training Kirishima,-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEMGMdK0bc
Kirishima: “Thanks by the way.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCYNCfkYgn
Kiri: “Nh.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqOOoeRqFK
Aizawa: “-Understood the spirit of exercise. But you two clearly have unresolved issues. We won’t ask you to get along, but it has no place in hero work.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrIaW6fFgA
Aizawa: “During your overly destructive battle, you almost hurt one of your classmates. If it weren’t for Kaminari, Jiro could have been seriously hurt or even killed. Do you understand?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3P7iSnWTp
The two could only nod; Izuku couldn’t even look in the direction of Jiro. More than anything, he felt shame that he failed to be the hero he swore to be.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lQPD2cipT
As for Jiro, she felt a bit upset at both of them. But she won’t hold it against Izuku; he seems like a good guy who just made a mistake.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj660aXZcIL
Jiro: ‘Don’t know about Bakugo. He was clearly the aggressor in that fight.’
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLDRpvd7QF
Aizawa: “I expect better from both of you. This isn’t a schoolyard fight anymore; this is the real world. Take better care to keep track of your surroundings.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpbidEnXZ5
They nodded once more.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiRRnMIjyc
Aizawa: “Good, now, I’m tired. Class dismissed.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpRTyZSd5l
The class dispersed mostly silently, the somber atmosphere discouraging any jovial antics.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMOvXD4vMY
But before leaving, Izuku does what he has to do. He goes to Jiro and bows.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjQIr3o5MI
Izuku: “I’m sorry! There is no excuse; I should have noticed you or kept the collateral damage to a minimum. I’m sorry!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtRW9ZYK4H
Jiro: “Dude, it’s fine. Just be more careful next time, okay?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaseqFuDqm
Izuku: “Of course! I won’t let something like that happen again. See you tomorrow, Jiro.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRNp7CUE33
With that done, Izuku ran back to Kiri, who was waiting for him nearby. Didn’t erase the guilt, only motivated him further to do better. So others won’t be burdened by his existence, never again.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdjHqQxjqV
He didn’t notice Kiri furrowing her brows, feeling her beloved depressing thoughts.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1nmvHcPL5
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVPrN4Ss9j
Bakugo was walking out of the school lifelessly. But as he sees Deku and Kiri walk ahead of him, ignoring him, it brought it all back.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8KlBNQyd9
The idea that he doesn’t matter anymore. That he is the pebble instead. He couldn’t stand it!
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotrokp2724
Bakugo: “Deku!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkgjxVeUQf
Kiri turned around and glared at Bakugo. It was one filled with so much bloodlust, that even Bakugo had to take a step back. But it faded instantly when Deku gently pushed her aside to face him.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CMFL33Of7
Izuku: “Kacchan.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEvhRp9ZJJ
They stared each other down for a moment before Bakugo broke down first.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzFBCyXPEt
Bakugo: “Why?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy3xVbW9V6
Izuku: “What?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDu6MJ7hdf
Bakugo: “Why did you protect me, damn it!? Do you think I’m weak? Do you think I couldn’t handle your attack?! Do you think so little of me!?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7Ctz9Oyfw
For the first time, Izuku snapped. Good thing everyone else was already gone, because he has words.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKCXnmRiPX
Izuku: “And what if I do?! You’ve looked down on me for years, all because I didn’t have a quirk. Well, guess what? I have one now; I was a late bloomer, and my quirk is powerful! I have every right to think less of you!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNGLccCdFV
Bakugo was stunned. Deku, scared little Deku, the one who always followed behind him, said something like that.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpn15V3F8X
Izuku: “But… that’s not who I am. I don’t think you’re less than me, I’m not you. I know you’re not weak; you’re still one of the strongest people I know. But I shielded you because, even now, I don’t want to severely hurt you.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKwtPXvI09
Bakugo wants to scoff, to say that Deku couldn’t hurt him that badly. But something is stuck in his throat; that lie couldn’t emerge.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCLvrguZe1
Izuku: “That’s what has changed, Kacchan, I’m not weak anymore. I’m not a quirkless pebble.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx8bT4l7V1
Bakugo: “You-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw0j0pCla7
Izuku: “But that doesn’t mean you’re below me either. We’re both after the same dream, right?! Being the number 1 hero! And next time, I’ll beat you for real to prove I can be number 1!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24OIV02YoW
Bakugo: “Huh?! You’ll beat me for real?! Today, you did beat me, ass-clown!! But…that doesn’t change anything!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrkFK4sCLx
Bakugo: “You’re listening?! From here on out, I’ll never lose to you again! I’m gonna be the number 1 hero, not you! I’ll even surpass All Might! Just watch me!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWDWTn459V
Bakugo stormed off, making sure to hide the tears coming out of his eyes.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY90ur6Wd3
Deku looks on and… smiles. For an instant, the Kacchan he admired returned. The symbol of victory and indomitable will.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmo2gJKnwT
He won’t forgive Kacchan for everything he has done to him. But everyone deserves a second chance, right?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBgTinIsbD
After all, they are finally on the same level playing field.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoJ9TZpvio
But not everyone feels the same; Kiri watched the scene and felt… disgust.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrL6QYNvlY
How could her beloved onii-chan still care for that lowlife?! Regardless of what he thinks, she will deal with the problem if it acts up again.
