Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe7uqjy5x7
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORZNnhvVqi
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!!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3EMrhJ7Ee
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4j6rXyx4a
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpYCKs2hwa
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh5uzkdTTp
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoYjfHUZLL
She doesn’t answer.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6utuYoiWU
Present Mic: “READY?!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFkvoHHLKZ
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgopsgN9Dzp
Present Mic: “START!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaUOaYXI3d
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LNvdiHchU
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2uOoyJNqE
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4bmMCqo9n
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHEmUaLV8f
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9puJUYkly
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5XsYLzKKA
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMYPcaXpf3
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoF1XWkF0n
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG7wVirAQG
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf9rEGwYKJ
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD8QHoAQ2R
Izuku: “Ugh.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOn0PBxgPj
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiJcQQgqko
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQyz6QYh3I
Izuku: “What the-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ20eqWQZ1R
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbFwggX0s8
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYljAzPGz5f
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBvHDrULOj
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7jeGDxT0e
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnmKABJOT2
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-
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfLurT6u2C
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYhybgTXbX
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl66E9b0sr
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfEV0EPNN9
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!?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SjaKdSwuR
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jmbCWzgcR
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFHBUoF0Xd
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoOgj3cPuC
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGJEhFTjhH
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpt5DfhLxj
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBXCPKT5D6
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrImEeK0IX6
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUkZ69qUuA
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKSsZnpby9
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEPCeFPqVr
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4yfDfKbr3
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgu7J7NhAl
She shouldn’t be winning.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KFs8gAPVc
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvKPiz2hEa
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2C8pE45Jx
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CXNUXBrXg
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJvzw3WJz5
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlDtmBj0PE
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnurabwRc6
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiNph6F3zt
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7YwWoshY2
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSZZIPlKpu
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7m8BMq9xx
Her field breaks.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LUKH5rM5X
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIogHRzwFEz
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu75B9OFWL0
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMjzgNiNur
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DYPGxNUUt
She’s inches from defeat.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFpdF5xWaJ
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjUI44py36
It’s over.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgDmltgjUs
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gurx9pxpI
She lost. She’s weaker.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDXvinVkUQ
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4G93aSwac
How could someone like her understand him?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V5aR5qez2
How could he… love someone like her?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO3xgkfaUv
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6kBMQaGnF
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfcDoHES9u
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzRAfphGzT
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyZUMt8RP5
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVT9zYliIL
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDs1tpfsHR
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HT4n0CJMy
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo2NQI9JEx
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsYxGmOUHf
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ajaWCrRKQ
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI5dQy6UhS
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYlrXlGsMF
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiFRTNGR6L
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTdWyvqu4E
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAaMapasqs
Kiri: “… You held back.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGEtU2OW2b
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QwI81W5Hj
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaX2soVczY
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRy1WbfQ03
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFDKwO8z4m
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxfwtbY4uw
Izuku: “I… ”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E3cisbLm9
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiZAQ8ZMvh
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEFUghvYIg
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjKOwliccG
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrKUws2DdU
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdcn6745UU
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH5UN4Ey1x
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca3usr6Fbq
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIaeGc97rM
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlQsX2BZyR
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCfOWpPofK
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGarWij4Bu
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYoTJwK2JW
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGCqqLIMFl
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhAYo7MTBO
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCZ6Ehwpwu
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFFgVe4DAf
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt53NR8Hr3R
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV09eSq4DpC
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡampgxpTqJI
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa1N1YQ2j7
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVo8uUJWAK
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONeMLcloga
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp7G3fuOoa
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPtgGFzzPX
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0fjmCzHpj
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvxNGtK0xU
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmVs6BcRyT
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj6I4Bxn13
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHqYaINUm4
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lWMLqc7ia
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU4098sAPd
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTXSRaFHjE
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-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhXSGfLIH7
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIuNKWHujr
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiyB6Qt3Dr
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBYZCuJI9x
With that, the conversation was over.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9uiZGsgdF
Fubuki: “Well?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI1uHsNw20
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlv3tYS4zz
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kXnz46H9w
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C0v6dEzFg
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7k9phlGfS
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO66mxDc9Zg
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhilnc4seyX
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzX0YudVpQ
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM6wD2XvkP
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpoB8U7vGD
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6SMcuE67r
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTknaCSIe0O
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUPS5GXWAU
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e3RBsHEOl
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiaRSXngRu
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd5FO5OVYH
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyyXUHywE0
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?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiijm1dedXQ
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3Z9lB7jLG
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MFbJ4gNEx
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJAI8kpOVh
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7njD2Q3S6
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbnU8OoCP3
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FV3qFXZ2S
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM7m1tKPay
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxngJebRlFJ
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKotdnSjEZ9
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD6tPsqaBA
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLkrZ1NtDb
Present Mic: “START!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBNdGNbJ0c
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bKhPLYU6A
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2xhSPMnXF
It’s going to hurt, though.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEARjV3fmeA
BOOM!!
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoyURaYm09
Uraraka: “Ah!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WIVxU8dy4
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Amabj7UF
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgutwrHmePs
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYs0new8EL
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJiRj1rDfP
Sabrina: “Loc-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DrQMnlEF9
Too late.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujvZ7D89gI
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV459OCkJk6
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA9qPytLpR
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS7WEgPpqi
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS9XSu4kIq
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPN6y8WegN
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw7zk6stdS
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gACYFnrnH
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1OeACWWS2
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eOwocWwXt
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB5FQoQsDL
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwWQVFVKQc
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
