Present Mic: “Welcome back, everyone, to rouuuuund twooooo!!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2DXrWIFe8
The two boys stare each other down, knowing full well how much is riding on this match. No words were needed to convey that fact.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJVEwh9zZN
Present Mic: “And we’re starting out with an exciting one! Both competitors are among the top of their class!! And the world ain’t big enough for the both of them!! Midoriya vs Todoroki!!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL5ebrZh8j
Cold air whipped around while Izuku’s eyes flashed green.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMioaeJ7qug
Present Mic: “Start!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSfwnvfeOH
Ice exploded out in two directions, one forward and one back. Good thinking, because Todoroki felt his body being flung back, but his ice barrier prevented a ring out.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy8E81KtyK
As for Izuku, he didn’t break the ice but instead stopped it in its tracks. Didn’t stop the cold from seeping into his bones, though.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYhHwhuV9z
The boy’s mind goes through his win conditions. He knows there are many ways to win this match. Using the ice against Todoroki. Powering through or just locking his body when he gets him in his sight.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnLDaMIB7W
Heck, he could even take a page out of Nogami’s book and teleport him out.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1qR3EvuRi
Izuku: ‘But that won’t solve anything.’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTDjLyINSm
So instead, Izuku decided to play the long defensive game. When another wave of ice came, he instead crushed it along with the remaining ice on the stage.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYwUvQYUM0
This back-and-forth continued for a while. Neither boy seemed too interested in closing the distance. Something that was increasingly getting on Todoroki’s nerves.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFIxyA2oSO
Todoroki: “Why are you on the defensive? What are you doing?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYcLI3bw3b
Changing his strategy a bit, he sends out a low field of ice before expanding it out into several spikes. Finally, this causes Izuku to go on the offensive.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm8PVPNCxs
Dodging the ice spikes, Izuku goes into the sky and spots Todoroki. The next moment, he sped towards him. Seeing this, Todoroki dodges out of the way. When Izuku landed, he shattered the ice shield.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DvM9p74lv
Thinking fast, Todoroki created another while sending a large wave of ice towards Izuku. Large enough to hopefully freeze him.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHPvex4jtH
But it was hopeless. This time, he simply teleported to the side, avoiding the attack altogether. With this new angle, Izuku’s suspicions were confirmed.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuAgIt1EQB
Izuku: “I can ask you the same thing. You’re shivering, Todoroki.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUhlskyJAr
Todoroki: “Tch.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBNFMYzDdv
Izuku: “Quirks are just another one of our physical functions, so there’s a limit to how much of your own generated cold you can take, isn’t there?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7Ugh8o5Si
Todoroki said nothing; he could only narrow his eyes as he felt the frostbite setting in.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeM94VcDGl
Izuku: “Everyone is giving everything they’ve got! They’re doing it so they can get that much closer to victory! Do you really think you can beat them, me, using only half of your power!?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscK48ephc5
Todoroki: “Midoriya… ”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LbbVxp5BV
Izuku: “Stop holding back, fight me!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlIV3MsEwZ
Todoroki: “… What do you think you’re doing? Did my old man pay you off? Now you’re making me mad!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG09OHpac2
Todoroki sends another wave of ice, one that’s much weaker than his usual.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1A0Fwej5i
Izuku: “Todoroki, I’ll show you that you can’t win or be a hero like this!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87P01dD1PG
The ice wave rushed towards the boy, but he did nothing but close his eyes and raise his hand. As soon as the ice touched his hand, Izuku used his newest ability. Debuting it for the whole world to see.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMqO93AOH1
Instantly, all the ice turned into water.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd3X94Ljwo
Todoroki: “Wha-”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMEnH4HtWq
Present Mic: “What’s this, folks!? Izuku somehow turned all of Todoroki’s ice to water!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXGrGeyvRU
In the stands, class 1-A is also in shock and confusion over this development.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrU5nq7zXh
Mina: “What the? He can do that? How?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RWnjQggT3
To explain, Momo decided to speak up.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYViwWfsqK
Momo: “It’s a new ability he learned recently. It’s actually like mine; if he knows the atomic structure of something, he can change it to something else with a touch. Even destroy or strengthen the atomic bonds if he wants.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlPsKJ6XCj
Uraraka: “Wow, Midoriya’s quirk is-”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXfllpOc8W
Denki: “Unfair, I agree.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TtYRo3Pfn
Uraraka: “I was going to say interesting. Does anyone else just get new abilities like that?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44iwkOBhVv
Jiro: “I don’t think so. I know some quirks can give you multiple similar abilities or evolve, but this is crazy.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZTwTHFlGm
Kirishima: “So, he can: fly, teleport, move things with his mind, make shields, read minds, and now change things into other things?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehM8xFiXya
He says while counting off his fingers.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMk2hDgZ9M
Momo: “I think he can also power himself and inanimate objects up. I remember he improved the power of a cannon I made.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspgxnBcmoe
Tokoyami: “The Psi-sword as well.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4yfZon1mn
Denki: “Ridiculous!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CYkDtLwP8
Mina: “I’m so jealous! I wish my quirk could do different things. Like, what if I could make acid animals or something?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsajGSwy0oK
Momo can’t help but feel a bit of the same. But she now knows the mental downsides and control problems his quirk brings. However, with that memory came the memory of the kiss.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHtHNpxMux
Momo: ‘Stupid! Why did I do that?’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvtYc8wFoO
As for Bakugo, he scowls as his rival continues to outpace him. He looks at his hand and wonders if there is more to his quirk as well. Something to think about.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf0ovkNjIS
Kirishima: “I wonder if he’s hiding anything else. Hey, Tae, is Midoriya-”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnuK8fF1ED
It was this moment, that Kirishima and the rest of the class noticed that Kiri was gone.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B46mbcSiQ
Ida: “Mmmm, I don’t see her either.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk57hTyy7Yj
Uraraka: “She wouldn’t miss Midoriya’s match.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9der3jyr9t
While they worry about Kiri’s location, the match below continues.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL20TCbSfzE
Izuku: “The power of your ice is weakening! If you were at your best, I may not have been able to transmute all of it.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaXKQXKfXl
Todoroki is at a loss. Any ice he creates now will just be turned into water. Is there no hope?
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU5ryutyUr
Todoroki: “Why are you… doing this?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQq2vkxKG2
Izuku: “Because that’s what a hero does; they help people.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73SzOm9xBW
Todoroki: “I don’t need-”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8UStHQtBh
Izuku: “Yes, you do! Todoroki, I can’t even begin to understand your circumstances or your resolution, but I know two things. You will never be able to become a hero if you don’t use your full strength! And weakening yourself just to disavow your father is foolish!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9Ix3mIbuL
Todoroki: “Shut up… ”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfJSi4M5iC
The cold air starts to bite even harder, but Izuku didn’t stop.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSo1Hy6pqT
Izuku: “Make me!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNbkw8G4Ia
Izuku teleported in front of Todoroki and delivered a devastating gut punch that nearly rang the boy out.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2i4rnCkhC
Todoroki coughed before forcing himself back up. He can’t lose like this. Not to him.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yDfkmgLVl
Todoroki: “My father… ”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizQLavbtyc
Izuku: “It’s yours! It’s your power!! Use it!!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzikJ6ynK1
His eyes widen as memories of those warm times with his mother flood his mind.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzv3JiHVJL
“It’s okay, Shouto, you… you aren’t a slave to your blood. You can become the man you want to be.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyCiDRYPWT
Assured by his past, Shouto ignites!
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNX3FLUweD
Present Mic: “What’s this… ?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawjkL759QB
Ida: “He used it… !
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXZw8hOjY4
Uraraka: “Hot, hot!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSSDGgmQ5w
All Might, hidden within the crowd, smiles as he now understands why Izuku held back so heavily.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkdiGutimd
All Might: ‘So you wanted to save that young Todoroki? Truly, you’ll make a great hero, Midoriya.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC7QaBo3NW
Todoroki: “…Fine. If you wanted me at my best, you got it. I will be a hero, Midoriya!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZfzZNsTCy
Izuku smiles, a mix of happiness and… excitement.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw96WVcKdcb
Izuku: “That’s what I want to hear.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7fUQEyIYd
The two were in their own world; they didn’t hear or care about Endeavor’s distant ramblings. They were focused on this last clash.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu30gpf2CYq
Todoroki charged up both his ice and fire, preparing his ultimate move.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxsDUpUyRf
While Izuku floated up and quickly charged a Psi Explosion between his hands.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH1jlTuqoS
Fully ready, Todoroki unleashed a massive wave of ice towards Izuku. The esper easily floated over the ice field and headed towards the flaming Todoroki with his ultimate move still primed.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI62PwcdGzL
Fearing an explosion of epic proportions, Cementos quickly created a barrier around the stage.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNthl8GfB6f
Todoroki: “Midoriya… ”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBueGrkzn6
Closing in, Todoroki lifted his hand while Izuku did a backward flip before unleashing his attack.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW44YLPVse
Todoroki: “Thank you.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad7IMkxSjA
BOOOOM!
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKYIN7rrgW
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1x5oz7PPn
“I’m sorry! I’m sor-”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBL9G3FLcs
Kiri crushed the skull of the strange talking crab quirk beast. She ignored the shell shocked bystanders.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiysYK4yKG
Kiri: ‘I feel… a bit better.’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU53xvCrTb
It’s not like she can’t get her onii-chan back. She is still the closest person to him, and she’s sure she’s the only person Izu can go all out for. The only person that can handle all of him, help him through his struggles.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe53px0DQnH
Kiri: ‘Udders can’t do that. Too weak.’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHDhL20dQd
After thinking that, she hears a large explosion in the distance. One in the direction of the stadium.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2md3mFRfn3
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDYJ8EgtSc
She knows he won. He wouldn’t lose against Icicle.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GBbZLBH19
Kiri: ‘I’m up next.’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90OWpwCybw
Knowing that, she quickly left the bloody scene. The screen zooms out to show several more quirk beast corpses lying across the street.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFWUW2jsNA
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTIYd1UGuG
Cementos: “Sure, they’re powerful… but that’s just ridiculous.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtpOMM0zsv
Present Mic: “What the heck! What is up with Aizawa’s class!?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFpDcqMx3y
Hot air and smoke filled the arena, preventing anyone from seeing the result. That was until the smoke was condensed into a ball by Tatsumaki, along with the rubble.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESWNTk7kvJ
The result, though, was not too surprising.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZDuvvwUbH
Todoroki was still standing, if only barely. His shirt was torn, and he was out of breath. He looked up at Izuku, who was in a similar state.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡble0lIruah
The esper was floating over the destroyed stage with a satisfied smile.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKz30UEP91
Then Todoroki looked at where he was, on the grass.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGQ3Otzc4g
Midnight: “Ring out! Izuku advances to Round three!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvFEkzxlyv
The crowd explodes with excitement. Tatsumaki grins at her brother’s excellent performance while Fubuki is still in awe of the destruction.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw23arkce4
First Kiri, now Izuku…
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSugcq1Zk9b
She shakes her head of any self-doubt; it won’t help her. Heck, maybe she could learn how Izuku melted the water while she helps him with his mental abilities.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD1ah2zI9I
Fubuki: ‘I… can still grow.’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTMXB5PXI0
Todoroki breathes a sigh, accepting his defeat. Because in the end, it didn’t matter. He got something far more precious out of this. He walked away while Izuku teleported back to his class.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WWpmBqkvo
Present Mic: “Stay tuned, folks! Don’t go anywhere, unless you want to miss another explosive fight like this! Right now, though, we have to fix the stage… again.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0XPs4SAJk
While in the halls, Todoroki runs into his father.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7gnZ0UCdz
Endeavor: “What? Not going to tell me I’m in the way?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXk1g2Glaq
Todoroki only stared at the man. No, he looked past him. Like he wasn’t even there.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4r9cg73L8
Endeavor: “Although you lost, at least you finally stopped throwing that childish tantrum. Now, you may finally grow into my perfect masterpiece and crush that Midoriya boy the next time you face him!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatMWXtMdxF
Todoroki: “… I haven’t rescinded my disavowal of you.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Srokoro0
Endeavor: “… What?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfLxnERf0U
Todoroki: “See, I’m not exactly easy to win over. In that battle, in that instant, I completely forgot about you. I don’t know if it’s good, bad, or if it’s even the right thing to do. I’ll think about it a little.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAgE6Q3YmE
And with that, he moves past his father and takes the reins of his life again.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFUG8FCF9H
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzGKD8Yh5c
Izuku: “Kiri is gone?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSI3goebEF
Kirishima: “Yeah, man, we haven’t seen her!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpNELwYsfU
Izuku: “Hmmm.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUo7iRReKt
Izuku: “Tatsu, is Kiri there with you?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFqKFBoWLv
Tatsumaki: “No, why? Also, mom and Fubu says you did great.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPVER9RcVn
Izuku: “Tell them I said thanks. As for Kiri, she’s not here.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5SKXhu3B1
After a moment, Tatsumaki gives him an answer.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59ClLGOBUL
Tatsumaki: “I sense her; she’s coming back. Apparently, she went outside.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhSzYmWjHI
Izuku: ‘Outside? Why?’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdLdOk11pb
Before the two could discuss further, the next match was about to start. The stage was fixed, and the rubble was cleared. It was time.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ubUsUiYM
Present Mic: “Welcome back!! Here comes the second match of round two! Shiozaki vs Tae! Will this match be just as exciting as the previous one!?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2DqRYkidv
Shiozaki was already in the ring, but there was still no sign of Kiri.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9tomfgyNI
Kirishima: “Where is she?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFw8Oe1jug
Izuku: “Tatsu said she was outside for some reason. She’s coming back, though.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0vV5oAhgl
Uraraka: “I hope she makes it.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpYPYHGjZ0
Denki: “What a way to go, being late.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4tc9ODQcc
Thankfully, Kiri dashed out of the corridor after a few seconds.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmUpCVcl8f
Present Mic: “And the latecomer has finally arrived!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWDSr9kreZ
Kiri looks up at Izuku and immediately stiffens when she sees Momo sitting next to him.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMeexVOdnd
Kirishima: “Yeah, go Tae!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnX1QdsMlv
Everyone else didn’t notice the change of expression, but Izuku did.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QCcfTteSG
Izuku: “What’s wrong?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZkTQlDuXF
Kiri: “… Nothing.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIcqYKtzal
That was a lie, but he could investigate it later. He shouldn’t distract her.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqWGo83vTW
Present Mic: “Now that everyone is present, let’s get started!! Ready!? START!!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhALU4RKXIw
Instantly, Kiri was cocooned in a vine prison.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJuCmvf6qh
Kirishima: “Wha-”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxoFfR3q2X
Denki: “That’s what happened to me!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffVToupEEJ
Izuku: “Kiri?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cEy2htCGY
Present Mic: “Oh, what’s this!? Is Kiri Tae defeated already!?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju8akD9baC
Tatsumaki narrows her eyes while Fubuki’s widen.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99XufJ9mzB
There’s no way she was defeated that easily. It was impossible.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnZ3b3Br10
Indeed it was.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVEp3sngFz
Suddenly, the vines around Kiri fall to the ground.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuMHvBh1F2
Ibara: “What!?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9S84kF2FM
Kiri falls to the ground unharmed and holding one of the vines. No matter what Ibara does, she can’t command her hair to move. It was like something was forcing them to become still.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk1UmAaea3
With a bored expression, Kiri starts to pull all the hair to her.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTBTNqUQpy
Ibara tried to pull back, but it was no use. After a few moments of pulling in all of her hair, Kiri held the girl by the scalp and dragged her across the stage like a disobedient child.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKNp6ES3Mh
Present Mic: “Yikes, I would hate for that to happen to me!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEigE5qdIQ
When at the edge of the stage, Kiri simply threw her off, vines and all.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6Bp4vuI1E
Midnight: “Ring out! Kiri Tae advances to the next round!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk397A6AKIR
Present Mic: “And there you have it, folks! A short, sweet, but a bit embarrassing match!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQIAwenGmc
Done, Kiri goes to reclaim her place beside Izu. That was until Ibara opened her mouth.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KGiz6AIkR
Ibara: “You’re the same as Midoriya, aren’t you?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEIKshlG6q
Kiri looks back at the woman before she continues.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xi04Kfyh7
Ibara: “I feel the same thing I felt from him in the first match. Your actions now prove it. Where he’s malevolent, you’re cold. But in the end, you’re both… monsters.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxWcocESfv
The ground beneath Kiri’s feet cracks as her stare becomes nearly feral.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRPPH1xfSt
Kiri: “You. Know. Nothing.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRovyaHcE2M
Izuku: “Kiri?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZjZYseIns
Before Kiri could do something rash, she heard her brother’s voice. Calming down, she fled the scene.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRREVWe8gR
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitC9cxuIMr
Izuku: “Kiri, is something wrong?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjqDoxiEiz
Kiri: “No.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD94cwc0wl
He’s asked this question multiple times, and the answer was always the same. Kiri just sat next to him in a tense silence that he had never experienced with her before. Awkward was one thing; tense was way worse.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqJhW0DhpD
It distracted him so much that he didn’t pay that much attention to the next match. It didn’t last long anyway.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKKGWfGX0L
Jiro tried her best, but Ida was much faster than Mina and could close the distance better. When he did, he easily grabbed Jiro’s shirt and quickly dragged her over the ring like Kiri did to Ibara.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoK4GRNa77
Jiro: “Aw, man! If I only used the sonic blaster quicker, as soon as Ida got close.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQenvtoAOt
Ida: “You did very well to keep me at bay, Jiro. A very respectable effort!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW2E0vWtGG
Jiro: “Still lost.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66rPOnwX5n
Momo: “Winning isn’t everything. Besides, you’re going to get even better from now on. One day, I’m sure you can beat Ida.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuW9aSIJSM
Jiro: “Really? Thanks, Momo. I’m glad you’re not letting your loss get you down either.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDAopw9EhA
Momo: “Well, I had some help.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPrpEr1a9w
Jiro: “I bet.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5aeM8V5gc
Momo smiled at Izuku, who returned it after hearing the conversation nearby.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJFeCGG052
Izuku: ‘She really took our conversation to heart.’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNQESveZOs
And here comes the memory of the kiss. The two of them turn away, trying to hide their blush.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGUMkXtfRy
Ida: “Is something wrong, Yaoyorozu?! Are you sick!?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47oidfgiHz
Momo: “N-No.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfYLmjpan9
Jiro: “Relax, Ida, she’s fine. More than fine, I think.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHX4OGLZdB
Momo: “K-Kyoka?!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuYLfszzDB
Izuku tried to ignore the conversation and turn his attention to the next match. As for Kiri, she was stone still, trying to put all of her attention on Rocky’s match.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeevn43ccNw

As for the match, it ended as many expected. Kirishima was a much better fighter now, but he was still not on Bakugo’s level.

He still managed to get a few solid hits in, but Bakugo’s explosions were devastating and couldn’t be blocked. Bakugo was training as well, and his explosions benefited the most.

So in the end, Kirishima was overwhelmed by a barrage of mini-bombs.

Kiri: “Poor Rocky. He did well.”

Izuku: “Rocky? I thought his nickname was Rock-Man or something.”

Kiri: “Nh. He earned it. Reminds me of Rocky movie. Trains hard. I like it.”

A small smile emerged on Kiri’s face, and Izuku… didn’t like it.

He really didn’t like it.

Izuku: ‘But why? I’m not… j-j-jealous! Besides… what about Yaoyorozu? I have no right to be jealous! A-And of course, we’re family… sort of. I can’t… ’

The words of one of the voices echo in his head. That maybe Kiri really likes him like that. That he should go for it.

It was too much to think about right now. He shakes his head and tries to calm down.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4ekuHAFSE
Izuku: ‘No. I’m not like that. I-It’s fine. Kiri and Kirishima would be…’

He couldn’t finish the thought. Instead, he waited for the next match. One that could be just as destructive as his.
