Kiri is usually very perceptive to the changes within Izuku, but not this time. Whatever happened was too quick, too sudden, for her to fully grasp.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEKNM8Xnav
It felt similar to when she lost control before, but different enough to make her even more worried.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjpadNpaTF
As soon as Shinso fell unconscious, she knew her sisters would want some answers. So she left her class and made her way to where they were.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmvPccjM5n
It didn’t take long for the whole family to convene; even All Might was there. They all looked at Izuku who had his head downcast. Inko sat next to him, rubbing his back.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaWw2Q6OBL
Inko: “Sweetie, what… happened?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZwphldiKX
Izuku said nothing.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n4Ks7x117
All Might: “You’re not in trouble, young Midoriya; we’re just worried.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh96IQSF8ut
Izuku: “I know.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m9nujCXX9
Tatsumaki: “Izu, does this have anything to do with what we talked about?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNva9PeiB6
His eyes widen a little before settling back to normal.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01cp4pGvpY
Tatsumaki: “I see. The first step in learning how not to fear your quirk is to understand it. So, what did you do to the boy?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRhl6fp3BT
Izuku: “I didn’t mean to.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx4nTInsnV
Inko: “We know, sweetie. We know you would never do something like… that… on purpose.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZeaRPpouK
Izuku: “… All I remember is going unconscious for a second, and the next, he was screaming. I don’t… know what happened.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1RMxQ2WJn
They all could tell that last part was a lie. Maybe he doesn’t know exactly what happened, but he has an idea. This only increased their worry.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddjiNmwR4u
Fubuki: “Let’s think about this from another angle. All Might, what quirk does Shinso have?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVypxs2gzE4
All Might: “Hmmmm, from what I remember, he has the ability to brainwash people.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELcRg5kN8k
Fubuki: “That’s… disturbing.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr2u55iiF9
Tatsumaki: “I think I know what happened.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxu0I7lRW8
Izuku: “Y-You do?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2qnSHEat4
Tatsumaki: “I thought I sensed another psychic signature. It was weak, but there.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmVCxLNjUz
Fubuki: “So Shinso has a quirk related to ours?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfEk2FF7KF
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but instead of telekinesis, he focuses on mental attacks.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj1CeeLFZO
Fubuki: ‘I guess that makes sense. Wait, doesn’t that mean I could do that eventually?’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ6i0sy4Fd
Inko: “But what does that have to do with Izuku?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqK901oHEn
Tatsumaki: “Well, I guess Izu’s mind instinctively defended itself.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPYQyPUb9O
Kiri could see Izuku’s shoulder lose some tension. They were on the right track.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZM0YxSMqu
Inko: “I see! See, sweetie, it’s not your fault.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAXdGewZk3
All Might: “She’s right, young Midoriya; don’t let what happened get to you. Young Shinso will be alright; Recovery Girl is on the case. In the meantime, you need to get this side of your quirk under control.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkZT1YiqPN
Izuku: “I’ll… try. I-I’ve already been practicing telepathy with Yaoyorozu.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugBPgmIPuh
Fubuki: “Really?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxjEJKG9Pq
Tatsumaki: “That might have been what allowed your mind to fight back like that. More practice could help you have more control.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0q6G287AX
Izuku: “I… suppose.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFuOKo3l3M
Fubuki: “I can help teach him.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeaeOAAXHl
Tatsumaki: “You? How?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCohGw16KYC
Fubuki: “Well… I’ve been recently… learning how to read minds.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S47pt7M1U
They all look at Fubuki with wide eyes full of surprise.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEduhftwVy
Tatsumaki: “You can do that!? Why didn’t you tell me?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY3Blr7fnx
Fubuki crossed her arms and looked away.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF6xhzs657
Fubuki: “I didn’t want to until I mastered it. You always said I should train harder; well, I found time.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWi9LBmh2m
Yeah, Tatsumaki always said that. Put the agency on the back burner and train harder. That way, Fubuki can stand proudly beside her at the top. But for some reason, this didn’t put a smile on her face.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxZGCWMXU9
Tatsumaki: ‘Why would she hide it from me? She used to be so excited to share when she learned a new trick with her quirk.’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB58ErONIlF
A trick or ability Tatsumaki would master in just a few moments.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUoXLhsNvG
Tatsumaki: ‘Ah…’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5wfVLuQNu
Before that realization could sink in, Fubuki continued.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bRSHW3K7k
Fubuki: “So, Izu, if you need help, come to me. We can help each other master this ability so we don’t hurt anyone on accident.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJh6yCRXUI
Izuku: “… Okay. Thanks, Fubu.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLysuudRzp
Fubuki: “Anytime.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gmhpiE33u
All Might: “Great! I’m glad you all have sorted this out. I’ll inform everyone else what we’ve learned about young Midoriya’s quirk.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU05ZGMe2fS
Izuku: “They might still be scared.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRX1dhelt1
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, can’t please everyone. You are what you are. As long as you don’t go overboard or misuse your quirk, most people will be fine with you. You’ll see.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT4OBl7Pc7
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, thanks everyone.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDJEYMVrDi
Just then, a loud boom was felt throughout the whole stadium. Tatsumaki was ready to tear apart the villain who dared come here. But she relaxed when she saw the real reason.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcdRCtIB3D
Tatsumaki: “You have an impressive classmate, Izu.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSNpS5fiFi
Inko: “W-W-What is that!?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaWVLr9wGo
A massive glacier of ice engulfs a large portion of the stadium. It was large enough for the whole group to see it out of their window. It was actually pretty close to their booth.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOMhGZ9C6L
Izuku: “Todoroki… ”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYqsi8eUq3
All Might: “He might have gone a bit overboard.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aL2gXh4C3
Kiri: “Icicle strong. Poor Smile.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk5VdhPOCH
Fubuki: “Doesn’t that mean you’re up next?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo9y9Gu1cC
Kiri: “Ah.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHi5OjZm7u
Inko: “That’s right! Good luck, sweetie!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGc53sClXU
Kiri: “Ih.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBfaSLuQey
Kiri grabs Izuku’s hand and helps him up.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKKh4eHQXY
Kiri: “Cheer for me?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkuMClbJ0V
Izuku: “O-Of course. I’ll be with everyone else. Don’t worry, Kiri, I’m… okay now. It wasn’t my fault; I know that now.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIhWvufXa3
Kiri: “… Good.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTFNBkyhXy
All Might: “I’ll walk young Midoriya to where his class is.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU8UsuwjXo
Fubuki: “I’ll help melt the ice.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIouAP9PpP
Tatsumaki: “You don’t want me to do it?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyBlzR7jle
Fubuki: “I can handle it.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjbMWqlYbK
Fubuki floated out of the booth and towards the glacier. Shaving away the ice with her quirk shouldn’t be too difficult. Besides, she can’t sit and do nothing this whole festival.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGcl4n9QXa
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPu05BeWqf
It didn’t take long for the trio to make it to where the rest of the class was. Izuku peered out of the corner to see his classmates sitting down and socializing while the glacier was rapidly shrinking.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSVTBx6OSv
All Might: “Don’t worry, young Midoriya, it will be alright. Your classmates will not treat you any differently.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnU75SYCzf
Izuku: “I-I know. Doesn’t stop my heart from racing.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGw8LQnzPP
All Might: “Hahaha, if anything, it proves you didn’t do it on purpose. Someone who worries about how his friends see him wouldn’t do something to make them fear him.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3IJnCcJ6Z
Izuku: ‘Not on purpose.’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmxGFeOUol
All Might: “I’ll go check on Shinso. You cheer on your sister and prepare yourself for your next match.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAgpaKw1sc
Izuku: “R-Right. Thank you, All Might.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7BPDBnOXU
The boy waved goodbye to his idol turned mentor. When he was out of sight, Izuku sighed. Bringing his mind back together and rejecting those low rumblings within, he steps towards his classmates.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LKpC3ev3G
Mina: “Oh, Midoriya!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdADn14wGaG
The entire class snaps their heads towards the boy, who instantly freezes.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI2KATawud
Izuku: “H-Hey-”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6qZ8Equfw
Several of the more worried and curious classmates bolted towards him. The questions came one after the other. All of them, however, boiled down to a single concern. What did Izuku do to Shinso, and are they both okay?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VrV73ieV0
Before Izuku could answer, Momo came to the front.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk8zaB6qXG
Momo: “Midoriya, you don’t have to answer if you don’t feel comfortable. We trust you.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mTL0xkDQT
Uraraka: “Yeah! But we would still like to know.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMYdWgbZXc
Denki: “For curiosity’s sake.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXxbwwGKyO
Izuku: “T-Thanks e-everyone. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what I know.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjpMCBPmjy
And so Izuku explained what he discussed with his family. After hearing the story, they all sighed in relief.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MXlJnHDKe
Ida: “I knew you were not someone who would do something like that on purpose. I’m glad I was not wrong.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFmdGJRnPX
Mina: “Yeah, looks like Bakugo was right.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74B14KCDaH
Izuku: “Kacchan?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXZEhcZ07X
Kirishima: “Yeah, he actually defended you when we were worried. Crazy, huh?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Ok41YB8s
Izuku’s eyes widened and his heart lifted when he heard that. He looked past his friends to see Bakugo, who kept his gaze on the arena.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBkzlNFSez
Izuku: ‘Is he… changing?’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjJOqldHdc
Denki: “Wait a minute!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClHHILXIbi
Thunder Boy held his hands up before getting everyone back to what’s really important.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0CsDECKS6
Denki: “Midoriya, are you telling us you spent days training with Yaoyorozu? At her house? Alone!?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHqSw9pPOF
Izuku: “Y-Yes?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAKsQnDDQK
Denki: “You lucky bas-”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBUZHV4xkp
His words are cut short by a stab to the neck by Jiro’s ear jacks.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRN54Jbn11
Denki: “gah!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGKw1vbLR0
Jiro: “Idiot.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vCJDXIolA
The group laughed, which slowly helped Izuku put himself back together. As for Momo, she tried to fight down the blush that graced her cheeks.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRKUNuhcC0
Momo: ‘Now that Kaminari mentioned it, that was rather bold of me. If Midoriya were a different type of boy, we may have-’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8bs8f29SM
Tokoyami: “The next match is starting.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPJnZjqlly
They look at Tokoyami, who was sitting down already, prepared to view the next match.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYe2MuyFQn
Kirishima: “Right! I don’t want to miss this!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw20tdPFW5
The class went back to their seats, and Izuku joined them. To his surprise, he was in between two girls. Uraraka to his left and Momo to his right.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEVrogZnb6
Knowing which voice would comment, he immediately shut it down and focused on the match instead.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqv8oq4XGv
Izuku: ‘Good luck, Kiri. I know you can do this.’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4j4kGSxSC
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4nOZqVlVZ
Present Mic: “And here we are, folks, MATCH THREE!! Will this one be just as brief as the last two? Let’s find out!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTLJEtfW4L
Kiri steps to the stage and faces her opponent, Aoi Nogami.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaTdTLZKSe
Present Mic: “On one side, we have the silent and incredibly strong girl from the department of heroics, class 1-A, Kiri Tae!!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVLck2GVxb
Present Mic: “Her opponent! The girl who stole victory with a single move during the obstacle race. The teleporter from the department of heroics, class 1-B, Aoi Nogami!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkvgcdwt0I
Aoi: “Sad to say, this match will be quick too.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yt3yOZrr4
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY!?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8XzYebAnD
Kiri didn’t respond; she got into a fighting position and readied herself.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7hLFIldju
Kiri: ‘Onii, watch me!’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtKD9yAutE
Present Mic: “START!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqch3aFMUsZ
Instantly, Aoi teleports in front of Kiri and tries to touch her. Sensing danger, Kiri dodges right on time and dashes to the other side of the arena. The dash, however, was messy, tearing up the ground with every step.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Xt0jsBBH
Present Mic: “Oh, will we have a real fight here, folks!?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKQB9S9mNn
If Kiri could sweat, she would be drenched. She tightens her stance and narrows her gaze.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7igNnI8vU
Aoi: “So you figured me out, huh? Yeah, one touch is all I need. And I have a feeling, one day, I won’t even need to do that.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo7tLRrz0U
Again, Aoi was gone. Only thanks to her acute senses was Kiri able to dodge another palm strike from behind. But Aoi didn’t stop; she teleported everywhere Kiri went.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2MSiEU7nf
But Kiri was too fast physically to be tagged by Aoi. At this point, this was nothing but a game of tag. One that could go on for hours.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiXbncevpG
Present Mic: “Wow! I can barely keep up with these two! But this can’t go on forever; who will be the first to trip up!?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSdCGbF0NZ
He was right; someone had to take a risk if they wanted this to end. With that in mind, Aoi was the first to try something crazy. She wanted to wait to try this against one of the stronger physical fighters, like Bakugo or Todoroki.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD4riOJQPy
But clearly, Kiri was a physical powerhouse as well.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWxAfEbcmx
Aoi: ‘Oh, well. Here goes nothing.’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc96yTnLoTa
The esper breaks off her assault and teleports to the edge of the arena. Kiri was confused for a second but quickly guessed that Aoi might finally be tired.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zZYt63EsR
So she goes on the offensive, dashing forward with fist raised, ready to knock the girl out.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cDWWFyaPB
But Aoi wasn’t tired; no, she was focusing. She placed her hands on the stage and willed her desire into existence. Veins emerged on her forehead just as Kiri was in front of her.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mROkEtm1n
But before the blow landed, both her and the stage disappeared.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4MeaiDcX8
Everyone: “HUUUUUH!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lDo5IUHaV
Present Mic: “S-S-She teleported the entire stage high into the sky!!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdQMp3sS2U
Kiri’s eyes widen as she sees the green grass feet away. She was… going to lose?
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zQByw1y53
Kiri: ‘No!’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBSoSMqCY6
Her brain went into overdrive, desperate for an answer to her problem. A split second later, the conclusion revealed itself. It was a side of her ability that she hasn’t used often.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSWtF1DWxK
Her ability is tactile telekinesis, the ability to use telekinesis on things she touches. It’s what gives Kiri her immense physical power and near-complete body control.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Ekz1e1ax
But aside from her body, what else is she always touching but never uses telekinesis on?
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt0pOy9BLn
Kiri: “SMAASH!!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzdc6dZlcf
Air.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUbzhyzSWF
An explosion of wind and smoke envelops the ground as Kiri is propelled into the air by the force of her attack. In fact, she kind of overshot it!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS2YGxrT4f
She shot straight through the stage, shattering it into several large pieces.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyZKAUktU9
Aoi: “Shoot!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuai3RmIn8
Aoi teleports out of the way of the rumble. As for the spectators, they were saved when green energy enveloped the rumble and carefully lowered it onto the ground, away from the stunned Midnight.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JIaTlu5Ps
Present Mic: “Thank you, Tornado, for saving the spectators and Midnight!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yi26rnOTr
Tatsumaki nods before sitting back down to watch the conclusion of this surprising match.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9rl4ideQ8
Present Mic: “I swear, kids these days are crazy! With no stage, it looks like this is a battle for the air. Whoever touches the ground first LOSES!!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BcsqPGmvv
Seeing a chance to end this madness, Aoi senses the space where Kiri is at and teleports there. Kiri quickly rights herself and hits the air once again. The explosion of air was enough to blow Aoi back, disorienting her.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HgSSmVnOY
Seeing an opening, Kiri kicks off the air and tackles Aoi.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5eNmvrZBz
Aoi: “Ugh!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiKsso6ftL
They’re both quickly heading to a meeting with the hard ground.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckZIQlf8HW
Seeing this, Aoi teleports back up. But Kiri is still stuck to her like glue. This was it, the dead end.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf27kMvVbo
She could keep teleporting, but Kiri wouldn’t let go, and Aoi can’t break out of the hold.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTEPRWvUat
Kiri: “Give. Up.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGd6IL2Upy
Aoi closes her eyes and sighs.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVWzbQ8xe3
Aoi: “Okay, you win.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9uoXtz9IT
With one last teleport, the two appear, standing on the grass.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPV9D3eUOv
Aoi: “I give.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AtgtHvZll
Midnight: “N-Nogami surrenders! Tae advances to round two!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNux8bREG5
With the results in, Kiri lets go of Aoi.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd5iJMWrUJ
Aoi: “Man, you have a tight grip. Thanks for the match.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumliwB16x0
Aoi holds out her hand, and Kiri smiles before taking it.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSi2NJ5qBk
Present Mic: “Such sportsmanship and utter destruction! We haven’t seen a battle like that since Blizzard versus Psykos! And I have a feeling it will only get better from here! So stay tuned! Right now, we need to repair the stage.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3g8GrbCj2
Aoi teleports back to her team while Kiri looks up at her classmates, specifically Izuku, and gives them the biggest smile she could give along with a peace sign.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8Hk9Lhzkc
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E2L9MmnrB
Denki: “You want to fight that?!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlvLKtrHLV
Kirishima nervously chuckles.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryelTPQhlc
Kirishima: “I have a long way to go. But yeah, I still want to show how far I’ve come as a fighter.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrWKt6eXBv
Denki: “Bro, are you an M?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzCrEXuBbP
As the rest of his class discusses the short but explosive battle, Izuku keeps his gaze on Kiri. Unlike everyone else, he heard what was beyond that smile.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Cqu39dn1
Kiri: “Izu, you’re not the only dangerous one. Even if you can’t control it yet, you can practice with me. I can take it all and help you through it. I’m strong. I’ll prove it to you.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VO8K4UWYz
Izuku: ‘I know you’re strong, Kiri. But… ’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WRiXLiguO
He shakes the depressing thoughts away. This is a festival, right? Everyone should be having fun.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QB5CZRIGm
Izuku: ‘Relax… focus on something else. Like how Kiri used her quirk. Or the abilities Nogami showed. Or how different and similar psychic quirks are. Or-’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbwrrdF42G
Good thing Izuku always has a notebook at the ready, because his mind is finally focused on something fun. Quirk analysis.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZjh5KuvkQ
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1I7WXUJ7n
Back in the nurse’s office, a new breed was stirring. On the bed, his body snaps into its final state. No, this is just the first step. He can go so much higher.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8nag5DLkZ
His eyes flutter open, releasing a soft purple and gold glow. But before anyone could notice, it settled back into its normal state.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviiJJQRjr8
But despite outward appearances, his eyes were different. They were better. All his senses were better. The world looked and felt different.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlhoq5ZtyT
He was different. But why and how?
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni4LkUHArC
Shinso was finally awake, and he needed answers.
