Ida knew he should have stuck with Mina. After hearing Jiro’s quirk, he finally realized the secret advantage the heroes had.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi87RumN7r
A bit late considering he was busy dodging a living shadow.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmKtaKSRg9
Tokoyami: “Dark Shadow!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4RN3NILzX
Tokoyami’s dark shadow strikes at the approaching Ida who’s forced to dodge again. But this time, he got used to the timing and pattern.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ1f6blip1
Ida: “I have seen through you! The heroes won’t save you now!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmZRn37N7L
Baiting the shadow to overstretch itself, Ida dodged left and burst forward. Unable to retrieve dark shadow in time, Tokoyami was forced to block the overhead kick.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBTbbyZeJW
But the force was too much; the blow sent the dark hero to his knees.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPl7yp23Jg
Dark Shadow: “Partner!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQfQ6PLGDh
The living shadow attempted to attack Ida from behind, but it was too late. Ida sped behind Tokoyami and captured him with his tape.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMalPl7con0
Unlike the heroes, the villain's tape was red. This will show that the civilian was lost to the villains and couldn’t be saved.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoBVe4V5FN
Tokoyami: “How shameful.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0ms2CDVyY
Ida: “You fought well, but you were no match for us villains. Hahaha!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwiVsPUT4Y
Tokoyami: “You’re really committed to your role. I can respect that at least.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOwOTv57mf
Ida: “Thank you. Now, that sound will surely draw heroes. Perfect.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9SgABJM4y
Ida sped away to the next battlefield, leaving Tokoyami and Dark Shadow behind.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Hdl3Wyv7
Dark Shadow: “So what? We’re supposed to just stay here?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAb2pBrfh2
Tokoyami: “It would appear so. But… ”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj80SlyIJqc
The young hero looked into the distance and the explosions therein.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24WQcRBFd2
Tokoyami: “I have a feeling this exercise won’t last much longer.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hH3ok5Sls
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcnNt8fNTz
Momo: “Jiro… ”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCTM7jp82I
After saving Tsuyu, Momo went right back into the thick of it. Not long after, she heard Jiro’s quirk going off. Sure, that means civilians could fight back.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiiBIAvVmn
But only until a hero comes. A hero is supposed to protect civilians, not fight with them. So it’s an advantage, but not a full one. As soon as she enters the fray, her main goal will be to save Jiro, not fight the villains together.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWD93C9nAG
With that in mind, Momo is racing to where she last heard the loud boom.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXivn33ZuC1
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQSCAVrGfN
Jiro hasn’t been that lucky so far, and of course that wouldn’t change now.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ941PIvQMKh
She has been trying to stay hidden after taking care of Mina, but for whatever reason…
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWLjyDWseL
Bakugo: “Get back here, Deku!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19dcJfnAOg
Jiro: “Why me?!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqABZaEp3E7
Bakugo and Izuku’s battle was following her around. She’s been dodging rubble for a solid minute now as those two maniacs battle it out among the rooftops.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDRHUHwBcr
Rubble was ripped up, only for it to be destroyed by large explosions. It’s a warzone!
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VBDogqCG5
And it’s only getting worse.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcpdft85t4
Izuku: “Careful, Kacchan! We’re causing too much damage!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1qfvqFngR
Bakugo: “Shut up!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhbszMUCmL
After a particularly large explosion, the ground beneath Jiro’s feet was covered by shadow.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKnFmNhoqa
She looked up to see a large piece of earth heading straight for her.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSmcw1zrsb
She… didn’t have time to dodge this. She-
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJye5iElXI8
Denki: “Watch out!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrRh8rXuSX
Suddenly, she felt someone kicking her out the way and then a blinding flash of yellow.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpWUekAlyF
When the world regained color and the smoke cleared, she saw the outcome. The large piece of rumble was charred and blown into pieces.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMaKfuxKzY
In the center of that rubble was Denki, in his stupid state after releasing enough force to destroy the rumble.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMFcmrmgRL
Denki: “Aeheahe.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOue9HPL9V
He put two thumbs up, which caused Jiro to smile. She rushed over to him and helped him to his feet.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S0qcv068T
Jiro: “Hahah, okay, let’s get out of here. Thank you, Denki.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY9EQdIWOG
The two, as best as Jiro could manage, quickly got out of the area.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp4M1HPaWW
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTYCKimTNj
He saw it.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo5KBm2KR4
While floating above the battlefield, Izuku saw it and still couldn’t believe it. If Denki wasn’t there…
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvobVCYqDo0
Bakugo: “Don’t look away, Deku!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0rjkkIjp3
Izuku barely had enough time to block another explosive hit from Bakugo. He was sent crashing into a building. He lays on top of rough rubble. It stabbed into his back, but he didn’t care.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuUe09OBlB
This battle has gone on for far too long. The grudge match is starting to drag in people who have nothing to do with it.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODzMLsePRV
This needs to end. Now.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt82iL58i1f
Shadows cover his face as he stands back up, determined to bring this saga of his life to a close.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCbRjqoCqM
Bakugo bursts through an opening in the ceiling but doesn’t attack yet. He senses it, Deku is different. He lands a few feet away; that’s when Izuku begins to speak.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKFHAQbIuM
Izuku: “I admire you, you know.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8INO1l2CYY
Bakugo: “Huh?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWAjRbnu8A
Izuku: “Even after getting my quirk, when it comes to battle sense and destructive power, I’m still behind.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB2uscD1mg
Izuku: “But… what does it matter? We almost hurt Jiro; we were so caught up in our own problems that we almost got her killed!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXgOIDqMZ1
Izuku: “This isn’t right! Aren’t we supposed to be heroes, Kacchan?! We shouldn’t be allowing our personal feelings endanger others!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjieYVpRCU
Bakugo grits his teeth before responding.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZUZ7z56di
Bakugo: “Don’t give me that.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Z6EuBNS7
Izuku: “Kacchan… ”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTrdqhSR2C
Bakugo: “Battle sense? Destructive power? Still behind me?! With a quirk like yours, you have the NERVE to say that! Stop looking down at me, Deku!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd9mgfjzRc
Bakugo: “How dare a pebble like you… how dare someone like you look down at me! Even when we were kids, you did that! And now that I know you hid your quirk all this time, a quirk like that… ”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhzCCaDT3Q
He glares at the little flares of green fire erasing all the efforts he made in this battle. The sight enrages him to unreasonable levels.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEcQNIdoiA
Izuku: “I’m not looking down at you idiot! It’s not my fault my quirk came late!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78DkMkzFm7
Bakugo: “Lair!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyWQAYOuAY
Bakugo looked like he was going to continue the fight, but instead, his anger cooled.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc0vsJKw8D
No, instead of explosive, it became refined into a cold expression.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TtpE687au
Seeing this, Izuku knew this was the end. Tears welled up in his eyes.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIKU0996rd
Because despite everything, he admired Kacchan’s willpower, skill, and intense drive to win. He was his symbol of victory, one that often popped up when he was training, pushing him ever higher.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL8hnl6myG
He was the inspiration for his ultimate move.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48cLAi0i6Y
Bakugo: “Knock that sad expression off your fucking face, Deku. I want to see the real you.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m8Lt3dDU2
Izuku understood when Bakugo lifted his arm and placed his finger on the trigger of his gauntlets.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9EQVXVcLJ
He wiped his tears and placed his fingers together. Between his hands, green psychic energy started to crackle and bubble to life.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU04VJxW2f
Uncharacteristically, Bakugo waited for the attack to charge. When it did, it was like a miniature green sun.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aasSr47IE
They locked eyes; it was time.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdV4RLy9at
Bakugo pulled the pin.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WaN8moAKS
Izuku pointed the attack at Kacchan and let it go as he whispered its name.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvs6Bv1Hyz
Izuku: “Psi Explosion.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopjqDhH3nN
The next moment, the world went white.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJXObdpfqA
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgomP31KBC7
Kirishima is in pain and confused.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT27TSWeSw
He should have been knocked out long ago, but for somehow, he’s still fighting.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBxUM6NJCr
Kiri was too good of a fighter; he learned that the hard way. Every attack was countered and every counter evaded.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrPVGVDC01
Was she playing with him?
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs54LPEZYgW
He switches it up a bit and goes for the legs. Kiri jumps over the sweep and counters with a kick to the head. More used to the tempo of the battle, Kirishima blocked but was still pushed back.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEsmUd3fap
Kiri: “Better.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefK3V11NlJ
Kirishima: “Ha.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ79DMu0hK
No, as crazy as it may seem, Kiri was actually teaching him!
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj7xiWLjnO
Every time he was close to passing out or giving in, she walked away. But not fast enough to escape him if he had the will to keep going.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtkmNHr0Xf
And when the battle resumed, her attacks weren’t as brutal and speed not as impossible to react to. As proven by the first blow in this fight, she could end it whenever she wanted to.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijyEudFSNb
Kirishima: ‘Well, I won’t complain.’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xQNDVDN1U
Not only does this prevent Kiri from joining any other battle, but it sharpens Kirishima’s skills. Like a sword or a polished shield, every bout pushes his harden quirk further and martial ability higher.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBaxWC69fo
She taught him early on that brute force won’t always win the day. Skill is required.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAfFnA3u4I
So Kirishima smiled and got back into a fighting position. Kiri did the same, arms relaxed and ready for action.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDoHvv9jeE
Didn’t take long for them to explode back into action. A flurry of blows echoed across the street. A dance of experienced fists was on full display.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WyQRKblfq
Close calls were aplenty in this clash, Kiri’s blows grazing Kirishima’s skin quite often. But he can take it and used the latest one to attempt a powerful body blow.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFB6h1QIp6
Kiri caught it, but her eyes widened a bit; it took both hands to do it. With that momentary lapse, Kirishima headbutted the girl.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmSDAYssyZ
Instead of being thrown off guard, she used the force to blackflip. The result was her feet meeting the chin of Kirishima. It was powerful enough to lift him.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO4Bdd33Cl
Recovering first, Kiri dashed back into his personal space, ready to deliver a crushing blow to his abdomen.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p2x20yWty
Kirishima, despite the hit, was prepared. It was something he came up with during the battle, a way to harden select areas just when an attack came. It would sacrifice defenses elsewhere, but it would be worth it when he counters.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlCuWXxnnd
But the blow never came; instead the two heard an explosion. One far bigger than any other.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHC8iy5swl
Kiri: “Onii… ”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQnEdeNQ1G
Kirishima: “Wha-”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetbNu80dVx
By the time Kirishima’s feet were on the ground, Kiri was gone.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspWkVcE7nL
Kirishima: “Onii? But wasn’t she-”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzlf5yizTp
Before he could come to any conclusion, the adrenaline finally wore off and he collapsed.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2JQc6A47E
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAGCjVRksm
All Might: “Seriously…”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjS60H2emH
This really was a crazy class. He was pleasantly surprised by Kiri’s choice to train young Kirishima. Her presence will truly benefit everyone.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIz1SGNdxv
But that’s not what’s on his mind right now. It was the potential lives of young Midoriya and young Bakugo.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacNJD53Sv9
All Might: “Time out!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIL4ylaq7h
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ux4hihnrl
Everything hurt.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5kNo01IP7
From sore muscles to the bloody torn skin. Even his ears rang like a bomb went off.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9EH34EbGK
Makes sense; it was to be expected after what happened. Bakugo opened his eyes and surveyed his surroundings.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjNnk1cc1s
He was in rubble, again. This time though, he was practically embedded into a wall.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Jmaf7AHt
The building in front of him, the one he and Deku were in, was leveled.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsp0hHKjne
He ripped himself from the wall and grabbed his shoulder. It might actually be dislocated. But that won’t stop him.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAXxovYneZ
Bakugo: “If he’s still kicking, I am too.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT8fVpCYIv
He fought against the aches and pains. Nothing will stop him from dragging himself to where Deku may have landed.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3DE9azooR
Through the charred rubble and green rocks with lightning occasionally shooting out of them, he arrived at his destination.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVVGM3KGe9
Deku wasn’t in a much better situation. In fact, he looked much worse. His was bleeding, his armor was cracked, and he was still unconscious. Sure, some flames were already repairing the damage, but he was out like a light.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP0a72YZLi
Bakugo: “I… won?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx0IRaPNRA
Bakugo: ‘Wait, of course I won! Deku is nothing! He’s nothing but my stepping stone!’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfoIpcQPY1
Then why didn’t this feel satisfying? Seeing him like this, beaten and broken, wasn’t too different from when he bullied him.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZSgDjHTIF
So why did this feel different?
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAma8D0Ola
Before he could think on it, he was knocked unconscious.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNpa5LliNS
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwh0XBQTq0
It felt good to finally punch the bastard who had tormented her beloved so long. She will never understand why Onii-chan admires him so.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMsqSppZJc
Regardless, he went too far. Izuku may be alive, but he is hurt and unconscious. She will have to explain this to her onee-chans and convince the eldest to let Bakugo live.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnspxmsHjP
But she was tempted to let her do it.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wPVy4VqK2
Kiri: ‘I could just smash his head in. No, no, no, onii-chan wouldn’t like that.’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGajc6mZjma
Kiri: ‘But he hurt him!’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpllrxnuWF
The urge to do something rash increases as she goes to stroke her beloved’s head.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa5kzbjCyV
All Might: “It’s alright now, young Tae, we will take care of him.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpp1dlbkK6
She looked behind her to see All Might and a few mini conveyor-bots. Two were already taking Bakugo away.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohCltQrUIG
Kiri: “I… stay.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MXODrEDi2
All Might: “Very well, I don’t think I can convince you otherwise.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNVdVrv7sn
Kiri: “You can’t.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgSY64fOQ9
So she watches the bots put her onii-chan on the stretcher and leaves the battlefield with them.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1isXehZMc3
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj9HY67MyB
All Might connects to the city speakers to explain the situation.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKeeYPGKhn
All Might: “Due to the actions of certain students, I had to pause the exercise. But this doesn’t mean it’s canceled! It wouldn’t be fair to the rest of you to do that.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ96k9tXanu
All Might: “You all have a one-minute break before the exercise continues. In the meanwhile, I’ll list off the current scoreboard.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5FfExeKud
Heroes:
Civilians Saved: 1
Villains Defeated: 1
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABd3KWJwR8
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftX5FgFu8R
All Might: “Considering young Ahsido was captured by a civilian, the heroes don’t get that point.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS3hd2XuOo
All Might: “Also, young Tae went with young Midoriya to the nurse’s office, so the Heroes won’t have to worry about her. But that doesn’t change your precious situation.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrSTsVwrWH
Villain:
Civilians Captured: 1
Heroes Defeated: 4
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwZaqD5C5M
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oBfkzAtOT
When she heard the score, her heart nearly stopped.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oBquifbpm
Momo: “How?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhBIwOZKo2
Kirishima she expected, and based on the explosion, Izuku was out too. But Sero and Uraraka too?
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipIlzdO73A
Momo: “Who… was defending the bomb?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGzZJPex1u
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOvupxqmsU
It was good plan.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD3FqMyR8I
Have Izuku bait Bakugo and see where he came from to locate the bomb. Then send two heroes to stealthily get the bomb while everyone was distracted by the titanic clash.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGtr99SpuC
What Momo didn’t predict was who was guarding it. She thought it would be Ida or Mina. Even Kiri might have been passable due to Uraraka.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrIR4NHwwk
If all else fails, she still has Izuku to rely on when he beats Bakugo.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcfFj0pZhX
But that part of the plan fell through. And even if it didn’t, it wouldn’t matter.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m8zH4lqGE
Shouto watched the robots carry out the unconscious and soaking Sero and Uraraka. They fought well, but he was not their opponent. No one here is.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqrjY5YlSo
Shouto goes back to the bomb and sits down, waiting patiently for Momo to be defeated or to make it here to him.
