Present Mic: “ITTTTTT’S TIME, EVERYONE!! This tournament is almost over; we are down to our final four, the semi-finals.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJGQHf8hzW
The large screen shows pictures of Izuku, Kiri, Bakugo, and Sabrina.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiq0xLgBWV
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!!!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3HdkTRrDr
Izuku looks at Kiri, who still seems colder than usual. It frustrates and worries him to no end.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1WDQenw7T
Izuku: “Kiri… tell me what’s wrong.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG1x499r4k
Kiri: “… Please, don’t hold back.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuqY0GiHQL
Izuku: “… Kiri… Okay, then we’ll talk afterwards, okay?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gyRJFWQtn
She doesn’t answer.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMqAocgFB8
Present Mic: “READY?!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvZGXqvAvI
She only gets into her fighting stance. With little option, Izuku does the same with his psychic power.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQKbghMvZY
Present Mic: “START!!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfxGTUH1SL
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjfEghpO4G
The force push barely stopped Kiri’s charge. The girl collides with Izuku’s psychic shield with enough force to shake the stage.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0G2hdlXo9
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkZxPjkzoy
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfDmPfwNAV
But thanks to the upgrades Izuku gave himself, it only made him slide a few feet away.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ61jjoEGTT
Kiri: “… Fight. Back.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0Wdi3DNdR
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyanetGP3x
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlPfDRLWBV
The boy counters with his own punch, but Kiri catches it with her free hand. No other option, the two headbutt each other.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8NsYpSGx1
Izuku: “What’s wrong with you?! Did I do something to make you mad?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOh7QQL1gA
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRg8gCYNeC
Izuku: “Ugh.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr79z6WT6To
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsugTHpdYGm
Teleporting over the grass, Izuku attempts to drop the girl. But his hand is stuck.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXX78UW1Y8
Izuku: “What the-”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RLCU6Ip0D
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrvDokXBBn
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDney4PWm8
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHrwtfzPUS
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F8MPGQyHG
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz7F0g7v6C
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-
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhaGPp13gf
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ5z1E5y9Q
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyjfwdJ5rf
But as proven by the frequent bursts of flame, Kiri is doing some damage. On the other hand, Izuku couldn’t really outfight Kiri.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVX3yR2kXp
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!?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2vQP57teN
Mina: “Man, Tae is scary strong.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mCti8Hc15
Kirishima: “Tell me about it. Where did she learn how to fight like that?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HRaCB6BpH
Jiro: “Do you think she’s going to win?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWuBNg7PG2
The class was silent. They know how strong Izuku can be; it seems weird to count him out yet.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fOhQxJ8og
As for Bakugo, he is quietly fuming.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uhVRFL6z1
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmLxaaY11A
Bakugo: ‘What are you doing, dumbass!?’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvdZiAO2j4
But unbeknownst to everyone, Kiri’s blows were getting weaker and her attacks were becoming sloppy. The reason is twofold.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfqHDodRuq
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJK9ATnebk
Each time she hits him and each time he lucks into a hit, the field is weakening.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38mfOfB8ro
Usually, Kiri may have caught on onto this. But that leads into the other reason…
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclKNl432mh
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPleTWOwCN4
She shouldn’t be winning.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cmLkG00D8
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15SsHBRLfa
Kiri: ‘Why? Am I not good enough?!’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6vR8xqbKD
She throws a sloppy right, which Izuku manages to block.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ycbfBJCl
Kiri: ‘Do you not trust me anymore?’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDUZ8PWj42
Izuku catches a rash kick and counters with a chest blow, damaging her field further.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe2wz90IUH
Kiri: ‘Would you treat Udders the same?’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBqtRD449C
She goes for a left that Izuku dodges.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrUDO2aycP
Kiri: ‘Will you ever… love me? The way I do for you.’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRCQPjj6Zc
Izuku delivers a kick to her stomach, forcing her back.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinox7uA0Bk
Kiri: ‘Will you… throw me away? Will I be… replaced?’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdbfLQkIap
Her field breaks.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr6I7TB7kW
Present Mic: “And the tides shift once again!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkZ107gWvf
Kirishima: “What’s happening?! She was doing so well before.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34ftELKmfK
Shield broken, Kiri is easy to deal with. Izuku pushes her back, making her stumble and roll towards the edge of the ring.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mciZNxmyn
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED396WNfZ4
She’s inches from defeat.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1UrCvHqHx
Izuku flies forward with his fist raised to knock her out of this tournament. Kiri sees it coming in slow motion, her defeat.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWX8mjxF1q
It’s over.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hm9Q2AmrI
She lost. She couldn’t even handle him when he was holding back.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss0bZChron
She lost. She’s weaker.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwXZXy9o6l
How could someone like her possibly protect him?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTp2NdZbdf
How could someone like her understand him?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFGamkTOKg
How could he… love someone like her?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9oxif4ZwP
She’s not even real. Just a mental projection.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTYCoboHKf
Kiri: ‘… I see. I’m really not good enough. I… was never enough.’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl1dJacfMT
She lifts her head, and Izuku freezes.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79gyUXPWkJ
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIb0ArcbcA
He has never seen Kiri cry. Never.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHU6Ly2xku
But that’s what he is seeing right now. An utterly heartbroken Kiri.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6OxgAccpB
There is no force in heaven or earth that could make him attack her now.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnebsnI0rT1
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaevGENJ9rO
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oJmynKQOT
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the final round.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs0ry64HeR
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iGsIiG37x
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH5a2a35vh
Izuku: “Kiri, wait! Why are you crying? Talk to me.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3srnq8lJL6
Kiri: “Just leave me alone.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn0GRqtaoe
Izuku: “Why? What happened?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vc0jbd2DZ
Kiri: “… You held back.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsonQD305L
Izuku: “What? No, I didn’t! I gave my all in that fight!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglJQzEynm3
Kiri: “Don’t lie to me! Never to me!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYom6Rmypa
She snatches her hand back and glares at Izuku with tears.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnfC9ocjIf
Kiri: “I can tell, Izu. It’s like… you’re only using half of your strength. Incomplete.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N82E3ppsd
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLqEqMkOZZ
Izuku: “I… ”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtLIFXq3m1
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgns03qgG8j
Izuku: ‘She can’t be talking about who I think she’s talking about.’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Do8Yh7WB
Kiri: “Just leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jirKjlJzL
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjZEuPHfUQ
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkN9uNGF07
Bakugo: ‘That dumbfuck!’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYS5VB8cia
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmoy0b7hmF
It will take everything he has to win against Red Eyes. He needs to prepare.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3YXXXdGVp
But Deku doesn’t leave his mind easily. The memories of their past stick in his mind like a parasite.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQtAr1xU2y
Specifically, the time when he tried to help him as a child.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb5KXlVaDm
Bakugo: ‘How could someone like that have beaten me!?’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RWU6KUHDe
The boy did it again, but to someone else this time. Looking down on them by helping them or giving them the win.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLimNaaJn5Y
Bakugo: ‘That’s not a real victory!’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJy7e2I7zH
Fine, if Deku wants to be like that, he can just watch from the sidelines while his rival claims the number one spot.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkFVxpKRru
True heroes never lose, but more importantly, they never give up. Too much rides on them to be any different.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1NLVAtziF
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Jcsod4jx
Inko: “Izu… Kiri… ”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3yFbXVmlu
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBCLl1xL9I
Fubuki: “Do you think… something happened?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG4PCj2cCo
Tatsumaki: “Had to! Izu wouldn’t throw a match, not even for Kiri.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ3eo1UDsi
Inko: “What do you think is wrong with them?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i0ZpbalmE
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDojV9UiSY
Sensing her brother, Tatsu called out telepathically.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PU7sRa2va
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened out there? Why did you stop?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11PqQxPH5s
Izuku: “… Kiri was crying.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoMNFfTvsY
Tatsumaki: “What!?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG9S34R18R
Inko and Fubuki nearly jumped out of their skin from Tatsu’s sudden scream.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbktzNQT7e
Tatsumaki: “Why?! Is someone in class bullying her? It’s that Bakugo kid, isn’t it?! Wait right there, I’ll-”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1b6FT9GQ0
Somehow, Izuku knew exactly what his older sister was saying despite her cutting off the telepathy on accident.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p8mpT4ejl
Izuku: “No! If he did that, I would deal with it myself! No… it’s something else… it’s just a misunderstanding.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1hOb0h9bE
Tatsumaki: “Misunderstanding? Enough for Kiri of all people to cry?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cXoWkMqmh
Izuku: “… Yes. But it’s okay, I’ll fix it… somehow. Trust me, don’t worry.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnbPBSI0zj
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-”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWunevcp8GE
Izuku: “I know, I’ll tell you about it. Full disclosure.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI4cq0Z01Z
Tatsumaki: “Good. Despite losing, you still did well. Nice job.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlml6aKyVmh
Izuku: “T-Thanks.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy9aqI2HLG
With that, the conversation was over.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXuCWt3FK5
Fubuki: “Well?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlAjVvuNaq
Inko: “Are my babies okay?!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3wu5YgG6D
Tatsumaki: “Yes, just a small sibling fight. Apparently, Kiri misunderstood something and was crying.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEGudjIirg
Inko: “Crying!? Kiri!?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz8NW75H4J
Fubuki: “Unbelievable. What could do that?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVombZbkzg2
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know, but I trust that Izu can handle it.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69lnDv53z4
Fubuki: “Really? I expected you to rush right over and fix it yourself.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYFC0ImGu6
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I know restraint. They can handle things like that.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PWUOB7r9V
Fubuki: ‘I think you just don’t really know how to deal with emotional problems.’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvI60zTYzw
Inko: “Thank goodness, when you screamed I thought-”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0esNYWz8PJ
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry, Mom, I would have sensed if there was anything really wrong.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7ytiPguGm
Fubuki: “Or my Blizzard Group would have called me.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCGLY3RGGX
Tatsumaki: “… Right. That too.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipEwiJjZGc
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8OA6CjZda
Tatsumaki: “Excellent idea! And if that doesn’t work, Fubuki can mediate.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gMnGWokhe
Fubuki: “Hey, don’t stick me with that. You’re the oldest.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKkFMJfl2g
Tatsumaki: “And as the oldest, I’m delegating.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ844WC5dgl6
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?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUtPQmPfVG
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllbzwv0SGk
The next battle will be fast, one way or the other. Both contestants know this.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5ytxyAdTr
They walk toward the stage and give each other their meanest glares. Lightning crackles between them as tensions rise.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatJwpBg1T4
But from an outsider’s perspective, they are more concerned over Bakugo.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXBGKDlGEk
Kirishima: “Whoa, he looks like he just ran a marathon.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByTmCUlaIs
Uraraka: “He must have done it before the match.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKefzlHrN7
Momo: “Smart, it’s the best way to get the most out of his quirk.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwPYl3TDXw
Momo spares a glances at Izuku and Kiri’s empty seats.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7hFA3WhdJ
Momo: ‘Where are they?’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM6L3jz4Us
The rest of the class has wondered the same thing. And he’s not the only one missing. Ida, too, was gone.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh6pONf5NO
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCuFRg1rtF
Present Mic: “START!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GPOGULmTd
As Bakugo expected, Sabrina started off with a psychic push. But thanks to his stores of sweat, he exploded through it.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWqhYy1Z4z
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoa2mDA38j
It’s going to hurt, though.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL3ExrWIoX
BOOM!!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgZkgFjwf8
Uraraka: “Ah!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZUqwOTDJs
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4XAiSjuuq
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vlXjCbcp4
She scans the area until she sees Bakugo spinning towards her in a torpedo of explosions.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7rSQJjWHU
Bakugo: “Howitzer Impact!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlB2LympOM
Sabrina: “Loc-”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ2d9nON95
Too late.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ9mgLJwGO
An explosion, comparable to the one Izuku and Todoroki made, was unleashed onto Sabrina’s location.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOEcgo2Y11
Present Mic: “Whoa!! The match just started, and already Bakugo is throwing out ultimates!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzLytC8pi4
Uraraka: “Wow… ”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtqlStfRyS
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAZrDbOwhf
As for Bakugo, his arms are killing him. But that had to have done it. There’s no way that-
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQl3UUKjOT
Sabrina: “I will admit, you are far stronger than I thought. Even Kaoru couldn’t force me to use this.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD1fQbBmp6
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xiEGWHsBE
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlct7ldTWuO
Bakugo: “Whatever, it won’t take much to take you out now.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscO52kx1Bu
Sabrina: “Perhaps, but there is one more ability I have that can turn the tides.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKxQcpisTC
The air shifts as Sabrina lifts up her hand.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24Jp4BMPDW
Sabrina: “Kadabra, show yourself; I choose you.”
