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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4qgYtrrqw
It felt similar to when she lost control before, but different enough to make her even more worried.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexI7hk2xAR
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRSZav3WL0
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz33TVqeGhr
Inko: “Sweetie, what… happened?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG9iskgla0
Izuku said nothing.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NjIcI6qD4
All Might: “You’re not in trouble, young Midoriya; we’re just worried.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0BU3jTR0N
Izuku: “I know.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN6pYcLVqI
Tatsumaki: “Izu, does this have anything to do with what we talked about?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk5OSFrj4o
His eyes widen a little before settling back to normal.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChQefhbwAQ
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?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOiXpKuTUj
Izuku: “I didn’t mean to.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1RSWNwzVP
Inko: “We know, sweetie. We know you would never do something like… that… on purpose.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOurMz9JydA
Izuku: “… All I remember is going unconscious for a second, and the next, he was screaming. I don’t… know what happened.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBwlHKuppy
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx11tZRqLp
Fubuki: “Let’s think about this from another angle. All Might, what quirk does Shinso have?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wbEXbN9bG
All Might: “Hmmmm, from what I remember, he has the ability to brainwash people.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L9fO6w1ul
Fubuki: “That’s… disturbing.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNa2PDvMqp
Tatsumaki: “I think I know what happened.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9UKJWlbxn
Izuku: “Y-You do?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitRNvnC603
Tatsumaki: “I thought I sensed another psychic signature. It was weak, but there.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEBiu4DIoy
Fubuki: “So Shinso has a quirk related to ours?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVXaSmIdu3
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but instead of telekinesis, he focuses on mental attacks.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPpF0IIVY6
Fubuki: ‘I guess that makes sense. Wait, doesn’t that mean I could do that eventually?’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMIpMDUKPh
Inko: “But what does that have to do with Izuku?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFzRxtiSCK
Tatsumaki: “Well, I guess Izu’s mind instinctively defended itself.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sGOD6K5Gi
Kiri could see Izuku’s shoulder lose some tension. They were on the right track.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxulnDcRLCS
Inko: “I see! See, sweetie, it’s not your fault.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJKE8AnC7Q
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.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIl8aX4neH
Izuku: “I’ll… try. I-I’ve already been practicing telepathy with Yaoyorozu.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kkohc9eod
Fubuki: “Really?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiTMe5voc1
Tatsumaki: “That might have been what allowed your mind to fight back like that. More practice could help you have more control.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ1e3fcCZm
Izuku: “I… suppose.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhlatqUUdh
Fubuki: “I can help teach him.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu9OxtGjU2
Tatsumaki: “You? How?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwotoDVox0C
Fubuki: “Well… I’ve been recently… learning how to read minds.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9p1FBtNrX
They all look at Fubuki with wide eyes full of surprise.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkZVYKrWsh
Tatsumaki: “You can do that!? Why didn’t you tell me?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Op1DePzJ
Fubuki crossed her arms and looked away.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdEWWD0WZJ
Fubuki: “I didn’t want to until I mastered it. You always said I should train harder; well, I found time.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ2bmzeCWh
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGKIFYdCkK
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.’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnKjv7qiel
A trick or ability Tatsumaki would master in just a few moments.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkzdCb9U3b
Tatsumaki: ‘Ah…’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlQnEMfvHF
Before that realization could sink in, Fubuki continued.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwnNJ112O5
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.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rGrMoNHbC
Izuku: “… Okay. Thanks, Fubu.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uCwKhn8gE
Fubuki: “Anytime.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uGaLna06u
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.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz2gNWwOxo
Izuku: “They might still be scared.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXJAjTqvGh
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.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yNZKFtaUE
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, thanks everyone.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2UFUgLYxe
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r0bhtC16x
Tatsumaki: “You have an impressive classmate, Izu.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryUxXvDAFv
Inko: “W-W-What is that!?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hLoc7JOIS
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetdH2c1lsK
Izuku: “Todoroki… ”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDA34NDxXv
All Might: “He might have gone a bit overboard.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsAlmjcbAF
Kiri: “Icicle strong. Poor Smile.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWbUColskn
Fubuki: “Doesn’t that mean you’re up next?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUbk0OTHFk
Kiri: “Ah.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd2HBoqBHv
Inko: “That’s right! Good luck, sweetie!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZarHrlGxmh
Kiri: “Ih.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSFWUlItf6
Kiri grabs Izuku’s hand and helps him up.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkBwnbFFwi
Kiri: “Cheer for me?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSCZ6hHyBJ
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.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpMMDVrJWe
Kiri: “… Good.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RcgtHmCdq
All Might: “I’ll walk young Midoriya to where his class is.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBf0SUVWr1
Fubuki: “I’ll help melt the ice.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5EH91SgpY
Tatsumaki: “You don’t want me to do it?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0tWHzWAVm
Fubuki: “I can handle it.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYANRFPR8q
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb7JSa1QBO
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKpsiFwgZs
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo41HRQk05T
All Might: “Don’t worry, young Midoriya, it will be alright. Your classmates will not treat you any differently.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOKyuJP8eA
Izuku: “I-I know. Doesn’t stop my heart from racing.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLji62kG8Xg
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.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVdXUfoYdF
Izuku: ‘Not on purpose.’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk8SpGkdsY
All Might: “I’ll go check on Shinso. You cheer on your sister and prepare yourself for your next match.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwXthyBLeC
Izuku: “R-Right. Thank you, All Might.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfZlRdDw3z
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVR6zMNCJV
Mina: “Oh, Midoriya!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5CYKQBk0D
The entire class snaps their heads towards the boy, who instantly freezes.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJWYiHAD9x
Izuku: “H-Hey-”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mwKCmcOzo
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?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNdvSPQMPo
Before Izuku could answer, Momo came to the front.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrYcgP90Gn
Momo: “Midoriya, you don’t have to answer if you don’t feel comfortable. We trust you.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKwhh3rDwV
Uraraka: “Yeah! But we would still like to know.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3qsBIigCc
Denki: “For curiosity’s sake.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0wys1lP7W
Izuku: “T-Thanks e-everyone. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what I know.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemuCIpE2YX
And so Izuku explained what he discussed with his family. After hearing the story, they all sighed in relief.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaXZAl2dS9
Ida: “I knew you were not someone who would do something like that on purpose. I’m glad I was not wrong.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8jCp8Ags8
Mina: “Yeah, looks like Bakugo was right.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvn9dl9eJs
Izuku: “Kacchan?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnHxdFShSh
Kirishima: “Yeah, he actually defended you when we were worried. Crazy, huh?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum9GtDrKcq
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY7BuszUut
Izuku: ‘Is he… changing?’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3KZ4yrucJ
Denki: “Wait a minute!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jx0CsphvM
Thunder Boy held his hands up before getting everyone back to what’s really important.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtdpK4VMES
Denki: “Midoriya, are you telling us you spent days training with Yaoyorozu? At her house? Alone!?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomtOdVgIMb
Izuku: “Y-Yes?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLBcwMjv7I
Denki: “You lucky bas-”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgXW6ccMBc
His words are cut short by a stab to the neck by Jiro’s ear jacks.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnuy3E7lbN
Denki: “gah!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno8zqSqSmD
Jiro: “Idiot.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgxJfw6p5K
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTNItEv7pi
Momo: ‘Now that Kaminari mentioned it, that was rather bold of me. If Midoriya were a different type of boy, we may have-’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EHao686bC
Tokoyami: “The next match is starting.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDE2kntm8r
They look at Tokoyami, who was sitting down already, prepared to view the next match.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOQyLkzuf7
Kirishima: “Right! I don’t want to miss this!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls1J3ur3Rc
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YPwnxOx53
Knowing which voice would comment, he immediately shut it down and focused on the match instead.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYHaWmwfK1
Izuku: ‘Good luck, Kiri. I know you can do this.’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT6q0Zo5n0
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9yVqGvH0q
Present Mic: “And here we are, folks, MATCH THREE!! Will this one be just as brief as the last two? Let’s find out!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2ISHkVHeN
Kiri steps to the stage and faces her opponent, Aoi Nogami.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp2GfSYOpw
Present Mic: “On one side, we have the silent and incredibly strong girl from the department of heroics, class 1-A, Kiri Tae!!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUrtTpv4hS
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!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2yONETyh2
Aoi: “Sad to say, this match will be quick too.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ1xjbuJJt
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY!?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6EH3OxCJl
Kiri didn’t respond; she got into a fighting position and readied herself.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUUgeqqUoz
Kiri: ‘Onii, watch me!’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYOmbPzyj1
Present Mic: “START!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8RmwDZjWI
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4JcBjuMQy
Present Mic: “Oh, will we have a real fight here, folks!?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOw3bxy9V4
If Kiri could sweat, she would be drenched. She tightens her stance and narrows her gaze.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQsLBqHfPn
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.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZgo2oa8hB
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7FiCYbtUB
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDyo9i1MGR
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!?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqqsw4AR8m
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mavdIBNep
But clearly, Kiri was a physical powerhouse as well.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzdX5BkEiD
Aoi: ‘Oh, well. Here goes nothing.’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6UWdI84NZ
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACZZvBHHno
So she goes on the offensive, dashing forward with fist raised, ready to knock the girl out.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkLt7LyJzk
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZFv7vd5F5
But before the blow landed, both her and the stage disappeared.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSmHklxlqf
Everyone: “HUUUUUH!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HA5hkFBmw
Present Mic: “S-S-She teleported the entire stage high into the sky!!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvvfUs67WD
Kiri’s eyes widen as she sees the green grass feet away. She was… going to lose?
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoTFoPLhor
Kiri: ‘No!’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7ZdQgX8sA
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbHMndSOQ9
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K7i2DRwNh
But aside from her body, what else is she always touching but never uses telekinesis on?
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluaMa609QO
Kiri: “SMAASH!!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNavCXMQBYy
Air.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1mCAmrwLP
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!
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKHvVc2jmF
She shot straight through the stage, shattering it into several large pieces.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwrWBeglgu
Aoi: “Shoot!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq1Upv2MoM
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBu9Y9IuHT
Present Mic: “Thank you, Tornado, for saving the spectators and Midnight!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdAuy95tWj
Tatsumaki nods before sitting back down to watch the conclusion of this surprising match.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLXA0XI4Xm
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!!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ni0UvgNQW
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOTm7Jw62j
Seeing an opening, Kiri kicks off the air and tackles Aoi.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDbt4Lqb6g
Aoi: “Ugh!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWig1NMgzdJ
They’re both quickly heading to a meeting with the hard ground.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaqJx9Rb3D
Seeing this, Aoi teleports back up. But Kiri is still stuck to her like glue. This was it, the dead end.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx10dzPaBX
She could keep teleporting, but Kiri wouldn’t let go, and Aoi can’t break out of the hold.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbogSx7zlTJ
Kiri: “Give. Up.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZu9UeRToJ
Aoi closes her eyes and sighs.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qmuXCdPBE
Aoi: “Okay, you win.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWflVESo2bJ
With one last teleport, the two appear, standing on the grass.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFu0g9K4oe
Aoi: “I give.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1SgBeLF5D
Midnight: “N-Nogami surrenders! Tae advances to round two!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9L016Igfd
With the results in, Kiri lets go of Aoi.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75hnHbrJvL
Aoi: “Man, you have a tight grip. Thanks for the match.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU1C4UjSXk
Aoi holds out her hand, and Kiri smiles before taking it.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBnD3NtLKR
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.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0frfxJYDsQ
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZl9RyVVQt
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYymZLUyxIO
Denki: “You want to fight that?!”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMW5rZwRgY
Kirishima nervously chuckles.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8JvgyLmTZ
Kirishima: “I have a long way to go. But yeah, I still want to show how far I’ve come as a fighter.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJTP3bBpTt
Denki: “Bro, are you an M?”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtVv4yCbFg
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU1iYMK1Wq
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.”
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5QcsJXhN4
Izuku: ‘I know you’re strong, Kiri. But… ’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyMPefUEN2
He shakes the depressing thoughts away. This is a festival, right? Everyone should be having fun.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiHa3OVTaF
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-’
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmDXnToPhS
Good thing Izuku always has a notebook at the ready, because his mind is finally focused on something fun. Quirk analysis.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAAttprZsC
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbxCEit2gq
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecqnHnBd1r
His eyes flutter open, releasing a soft purple and gold glow. But before anyone could notice, it settled back into its normal state.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTNbTfW9Vv
But despite outward appearances, his eyes were different. They were better. All his senses were better. The world looked and felt different.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHWe7ewC5B
He was different. But why and how?
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsStiTH89C
Shinso was finally awake, and he needed answers.
