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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aXNL7x4mQ
To his right was a snoring Kirishima. He was a bit banged up, but he seemed fine. But to his left was…Deku.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4veBYW4BzO
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNs6S17HQ6
Now it was clear who knocked him out.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DOB5Ulgt4
Bakugo: “You!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEClNhvXLiI
Kiri: “Me.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZSRe4748Y
Before Bakugo could start something, the door opened to reveal Recovery Girl.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CFT53a94l
Recovery Girl: “No! No fighting in my office, do you two understand?!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHM0RrfZBZ
Bakugo: “Tch.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M15Plrb1G
Kiri: “Fine.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbCCjNE8Io
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqfKtVRP9r
Bakugo: “Ha, Deku was the one in danger. I won our fight!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8dF2jC9TS
Kiri: “No, you didn’t.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPNOkp8KHy
Bakugo: “What the fuck did you say, ghost girl!?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORf1KCvtiD
Kiri: “That you’re a sore loser, bomb boy.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cjMI99Ek3
Bakugo: “Why you-”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAJ04T399L
Recovery Girl: “She’s right, you know. You might have died if not for Midoriya.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uXpTlUEE9
Bakugo: “What the hell are you talking about!? I won our fight! I was barely damaged!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt02LANdBg4
Recovery Girl: “That’s because he shielded you during the clash.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eS1yQTw5C
His eyes became pinpricks as she said that. It…couldn’t be.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHqjbOvIOe
Bakugo: ‘He… what?’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jT7KF0qzw
Recovery Girl: “I was also watching the battles, and a few seconds before the explosion, a green shield enveloped you.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVikWgDLX8
Bakugo: “No… why would he-”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWmU0wdQrj
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-”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXmtnhTY98
Recovery Girl: “Let’s not be so hasty to wish death on another, Tae. He’s still just a kid.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuA5pkxWro
Kiri: “…No excuses.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRhDN9d5bR
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtw2YFOYnY
Bakugo: ‘If that’s true, then… I didn’t win. Not even close.’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRmuLILo0v
Bakugo: ‘Despite going all out, I-I… lost to… Deku!?’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGTRxsKMAf
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16LM9ZHawt
Yet again, Deku shows concern for him when he doesn’t need it.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGaMc7TbhR
Or deserve it.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqNZZixMqh
He can’t accept that stray thought, not yet. Instead, one cornerstone is crumbling.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi3cLF5Yho
Bakugo: ‘He’s… not a pebble anymore.’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5R9vkKJIv
This fact is undeniable. Deku is no longer a mere pebble but a peer, a proper obstacle in his path.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAAJVGuNFV
But with a quirk like his, with his rate of growth, won’t their positions reverse?
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuauebLjLfy
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6ENhF1Kvu
If not for Recovery Girl’s words, he would have shattered.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwOzk9cZ2e
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVM6fOO6Gl
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbB3xTVwzd
In silence.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmjvrSNG61
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCQgxQGXVy
Phoenix: “Here you are, again.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ3DuKwESy
Izuku was floating in a void filled with stars and again looked up at those enormous green orbs.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52BXOgA43y
Izuku: “Haha, I guess Kacchan’s attack was stronger than I thought.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04hrzs0ylj
Phoenix: “You weren’t damaged that badly.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx48VSgMQPe
Izuku: “Then… why am I here? Is there something wrong?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38nqTr8YrS
Phoenix: “Not at the moment. Just a small concern.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQanjRqGH09
Izuku: “What?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEW6hvkQPi
Phoenix: “Why did you defend that child?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpIHUFcJZE
Izuku: “Because… despite everything, I still don’t want to severely hurt Kacchan. I was… unsure if I could fully control Psi Explosion.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbdUm5n2IM
Phoenix: “So it’s okay for him to severely harm you?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S8xY2Pt2v
Izuku: “…”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoBzB9qJOh
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREkfb1HfnP
Izuku: “Kacchan is not baggage! Besides, what enemy are you talking about? Is it some villain?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcQJr1gHcu
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwbNtIZHLB
Izuku: “R-Right.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v4Ph6Em41
Like before, the space begins to shake and collapse.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEa6ZfBBqo
It’s time to wake up.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo13VpOuVwy
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7sgVnwFUF
It took all she had to stop herself. It would be so easy to pop his head open like a-
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI6Qo2HsTb
No! That’s not heroic!
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg9y8Yf8ku
But he hurt onii-chan! MY ONII-CHAN!
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KsHXw7NRm
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvxLPALykY
Nothing else mattered.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hzIcNwrjh
She stroked his hair and smiled. She loved him. She really did.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8yUT9duEt
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KThWQD991
She didn’t know why or what this meant. But she wanted to do it. So she slowly leaned down and closed her eyes.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYd0q5sgIO
Izuku: “Mmmm.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTRgQgPOjk
For whatever reason, Kiri quickly backed away when she heard him waking up.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX8Y1ovfnh
Kiri: “I-Izuku?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkz2JIgVEZ
Izuku: “Kiri, where am I? And… why are you blushing?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JdzQcWWTj
Kiri: “Blushing?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1yGB2P9ID
Izuku: “Your face is red.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7odnXs3Im
Kiri: “I-I don’t know.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssKyI5J0Wg
Recovery Girl: “You’re finally awake; good. Everyone is waiting for you in the classroom.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvWcdIWXAi
The two looked at Recovery Girl, who was sitting on a chair nearby. Whether she saw what Kiri was going to do, is unknown.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS4FWckHOl
Izuku: “So the exercise is over? Who won?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAtL08Bn3H
Recovery Girl: “Villains.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD8yrCxrPr
Izuku: “O-Oh.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug1Zfpw4eJ
Kiri could already feel him blaming himself. She grabbed his hand.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JbFjhPSpJ
Kiri: “It’s not your fault.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn2fbXHu3B
Izuku: “But if I tried harder and beat Kacchan… ”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MZ6xCuohr
Kiri: “Doesn’t… mean you should blame yourself. You did the best you could. Exercise… a team effort. Shouldn’t… carry all the burden.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ2lY2stNT
Izuku smiles at her, a sight that deepens the red in her cheeks.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJAq3sr2rz
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYVf0AFAsV
She feels his thumb rub the top of her hand. She returns the smile and suppresses the urge to touch his lips again.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHpa2GLgeK
Recovery Girl: “Aw, you two are adorable.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfl0F3ivGQ
Kiri: “Nh.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TwVkvVhMi
Izuku doesn’t even try to argue this time. He’ll clear it up soon, but right now he should get back to class.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCibKKRTmPS
Izuku: “So we’re free to go?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOrq3o3dBR
Recovery Girl: “Yep, your flames did most of the work. It’s actually strange that you didn’t wake up sooner.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zYmPREtt7
Izuku: “Haha, y-yeah, strange. Let’s go, Kiri.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4BKDj13Sy
Kiri: “Nh.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKYGpD7vOW
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgFbXgHcxU
Izuku: “You’re being very… affectionate.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7uB4W2cZS
Kiri: “Nh. I… like it. Do… you?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGpxXpWphI
Izuku: “I… don’t mind it. But I don’t want the misunderstanding to continue.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaTg0uDvU4
Kiri: “…Would it…be so bad?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8OSSL3dvY
Izuku: “Kiri, we talked about this.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXeXUOcdWm
Kiri: “…I know. But… at home?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdzWlw8G7I
Izuku sighed but accepted her proposal. There’s nothing wrong with simple affectionate gestures between siblings. What’s the worst that can happen?
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSsxodTgh3
Izuku: “That’s fine.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu2qiMs58l
Kiri: “… Okay.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRFRQEzlD1
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfRI0EGyJO
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM12MCxwVm
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ5eS1SGhc
Aizawa: “Finally here, sit down.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt9qqclRAm
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vhd383CZT
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL6cq4clkF
Aizawa: “First, who do you all did the best in this exercise?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4hjL7SyNK
“Yaoyorozu!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwAgsIRvQK
Momo: “Achoo!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS4tjUdPah
The answer was immediate. So much so, that the now-sick Momo couldn’t register it right away.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhi6R5rOnV
Momo: “W-Wait, me?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H0HIAQ3AS
Jiro: “Yeah, you did great.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVOdWei3n9
Ida: “A true hero we all can learn from!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2wXhj0gym
Mina: “You were so cool, Yaomomo.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrw6ea38Dr
Momo: “But I… lost. How could I have the highest marks? I think Todoroki deserves it more.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIHlu2L3Rx
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISzMDfBFeA
Momo: “I… don’t know what to say.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdCZBhQtsa
Izuku: “He’s right; you even came up with the plan. It didn’t work because I… messed up.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpFl4nCwCh
Sero & Uraraka: “We did too.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjocsKESdHi
Izuku: “But the plan was solid. You were the most heroic person in the field. Don’t doubt that.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K8OPtOglg
Momo: “T-Thank you, Midoriya. I appreciate it.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RpqGfaXbJ
He gives him a sweet smile that nearly makes the poor boy blush. But the moment was interrupted by Aizawa.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvtX2g4EtU
Aizawa: “Speaking of mess ups, Midoriya and Bakugo.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMnz8vA0dV
The two stiffened up when their names were called.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTXeW8IESq
Aizawa: “Everyone, except maybe Tae, who was more interested in training Kirishima,-”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdwDRX6N0l
Kirishima: “Thanks by the way.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmxNEr1Gcw
Kiri: “Nh.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcPUNOCpPi
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ztkpZ0mLC
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?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtHOfnEvam
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cvaFgBshM
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKnnYjGywI
Jiro: ‘Don’t know about Bakugo. He was clearly the aggressor in that fight.’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUOuoG98vD
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfnkBDIjXF
They nodded once more.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYXdK5Wq6N
Aizawa: “Good, now, I’m tired. Class dismissed.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQX4F07WFN
The class dispersed mostly silently, the somber atmosphere discouraging any jovial antics.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZW4jAi5gE
But before leaving, Izuku does what he has to do. He goes to Jiro and bows.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SUVMsBLBK
Izuku: “I’m sorry! There is no excuse; I should have noticed you or kept the collateral damage to a minimum. I’m sorry!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnwBfp7pHR
Jiro: “Dude, it’s fine. Just be more careful next time, okay?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDvGRAbuQM
Izuku: “Of course! I won’t let something like that happen again. See you tomorrow, Jiro.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDeGPng2xn
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdic0CPnA4g
He didn’t notice Kiri furrowing her brows, feeling her beloved depressing thoughts.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sillsWnZe
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvdUliGTeZ
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfiXWEBJhD
The idea that he doesn’t matter anymore. That he is the pebble instead. He couldn’t stand it!
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwstbKh5Ns6
Bakugo: “Deku!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMw8ne7PkN
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez6bPFcP50
Izuku: “Kacchan.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJQah5YM5b
They stared each other down for a moment before Bakugo broke down first.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVeCpxJ2Rr
Bakugo: “Why?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjw7TIqTUc
Izuku: “What?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSXPvxSUjF
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!?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AEpmu8jqp
For the first time, Izuku snapped. Good thing everyone else was already gone, because he has words.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgJfiWSwgm
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!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgF0tnmqSt
Bakugo was stunned. Deku, scared little Deku, the one who always followed behind him, said something like that.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0949VB5QQ
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVIhFsxGk9
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ199mcRVvcD
Izuku: “That’s what has changed, Kacchan, I’m not weak anymore. I’m not a quirkless pebble.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5BqeKEsZe
Bakugo: “You-”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNFa9FfpO4
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!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDzTADmCU3
Bakugo: “Huh?! You’ll beat me for real?! Today, you did beat me, ass-clown!! But…that doesn’t change anything!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJvnNUWon4
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!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMejWySCksW
Bakugo stormed off, making sure to hide the tears coming out of his eyes.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSJcTRyyzG
Deku looks on and… smiles. For an instant, the Kacchan he admired returned. The symbol of victory and indomitable will.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJRu8O5EpY
He won’t forgive Kacchan for everything he has done to him. But everyone deserves a second chance, right?
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnXWuVeSsF
After all, they are finally on the same level playing field.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzMl5RVcPb
But not everyone feels the same; Kiri watched the scene and felt… disgust.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh78xHaQ5dM
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.
