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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWrebmEsps
It felt similar to when she lost control before, but different enough to make her even more worried.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxVeaAXrqE
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fw9cVNTVP
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq3F9AMbg1
Inko: “Sweetie, what… happened?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmLsYPw8p4
Izuku said nothing.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPSmzaNXTm
All Might: “You’re not in trouble, young Midoriya; we’re just worried.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV4VXU7tiZ
Izuku: “I know.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYn83029BD
Tatsumaki: “Izu, does this have anything to do with what we talked about?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ilvX13L0J
His eyes widen a little before settling back to normal.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUEhxZKRsr
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?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJB7u3ijGd
Izuku: “I didn’t mean to.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3ZRmOamrO
Inko: “We know, sweetie. We know you would never do something like… that… on purpose.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix26qsz4yv
Izuku: “… All I remember is going unconscious for a second, and the next, he was screaming. I don’t… know what happened.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7DZAGIFu2
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbuyrQGX9u
Fubuki: “Let’s think about this from another angle. All Might, what quirk does Shinso have?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnG8dmAmEX
All Might: “Hmmmm, from what I remember, he has the ability to brainwash people.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM7Z7E9VgG
Fubuki: “That’s… disturbing.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyupMTWTe9F
Tatsumaki: “I think I know what happened.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxejWBWoXL
Izuku: “Y-You do?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa48U4k8Aj
Tatsumaki: “I thought I sensed another psychic signature. It was weak, but there.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96JwbQ301z
Fubuki: “So Shinso has a quirk related to ours?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfYpswQsei
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but instead of telekinesis, he focuses on mental attacks.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk9CJl3C2R
Fubuki: ‘I guess that makes sense. Wait, doesn’t that mean I could do that eventually?’
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUFhQs0sSB
Inko: “But what does that have to do with Izuku?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCVdhpEdin
Tatsumaki: “Well, I guess Izu’s mind instinctively defended itself.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DJOJoxrfa
Kiri could see Izuku’s shoulder lose some tension. They were on the right track.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6bb81tzwA
Inko: “I see! See, sweetie, it’s not your fault.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS444QK019f
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.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAvYQmHNjd
Izuku: “I’ll… try. I-I’ve already been practicing telepathy with Yaoyorozu.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYOpmJXRr8
Fubuki: “Really?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVbWOPzHME
Tatsumaki: “That might have been what allowed your mind to fight back like that. More practice could help you have more control.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqQe8TDFvx
Izuku: “I… suppose.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hKJ4hQ68k
Fubuki: “I can help teach him.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYGhF0cYq4
Tatsumaki: “You? How?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgjp1CyaIt
Fubuki: “Well… I’ve been recently… learning how to read minds.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjNxweqifk
They all look at Fubuki with wide eyes full of surprise.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nxqJ717oN
Tatsumaki: “You can do that!? Why didn’t you tell me?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvRqb2dhhY
Fubuki crossed her arms and looked away.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCVJtiYq0v
Fubuki: “I didn’t want to until I mastered it. You always said I should train harder; well, I found time.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbEDjVZRJd
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DkfVD5Jx6
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.’
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyD4lVgXGN
A trick or ability Tatsumaki would master in just a few moments.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSREe7anDuU
Tatsumaki: ‘Ah…’
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa1nnRDoAj
Before that realization could sink in, Fubuki continued.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiB2svbd38
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.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJa2EQgJfS
Izuku: “… Okay. Thanks, Fubu.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GEnYxiWVq
Fubuki: “Anytime.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlJAppP0bN
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.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sVrPNFkM2
Izuku: “They might still be scared.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdZYF3Iew3
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.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdurb5OBOH2
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, thanks everyone.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbeEY10o7K
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOm7VLJbEO
Tatsumaki: “You have an impressive classmate, Izu.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU9Rvm0SNk
Inko: “W-W-What is that!?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw9M4HL7xu
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqRHI5FzPV
Izuku: “Todoroki… ”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwPekT0yXS
All Might: “He might have gone a bit overboard.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9pnMimr6I
Kiri: “Icicle strong. Poor Smile.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPg7cBJt3k
Fubuki: “Doesn’t that mean you’re up next?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtfxQA4kJd
Kiri: “Ah.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33wCbFvRvo
Inko: “That’s right! Good luck, sweetie!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS6hmgIl3h
Kiri: “Ih.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAPk0HP2F4
Kiri grabs Izuku’s hand and helps him up.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SoAYSEWrJ
Kiri: “Cheer for me?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEhC12jAFT
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.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffJcxLxWfU
Kiri: “… Good.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScePDFS90z
All Might: “I’ll walk young Midoriya to where his class is.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe15v3yV8y
Fubuki: “I’ll help melt the ice.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBeUuZT1fJ
Tatsumaki: “You don’t want me to do it?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFF3Ryoz0W
Fubuki: “I can handle it.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStdFlsNSFo
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dnIm7n1US
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3yIOTfUme
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoibupBlS0
All Might: “Don’t worry, young Midoriya, it will be alright. Your classmates will not treat you any differently.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUUghAj7TF
Izuku: “I-I know. Doesn’t stop my heart from racing.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0APVyrFcTl
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.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NuyIIlNjQ
Izuku: ‘Not on purpose.’
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWTALw9A8C
All Might: “I’ll go check on Shinso. You cheer on your sister and prepare yourself for your next match.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8iOnNyx6p
Izuku: “R-Right. Thank you, All Might.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZt6voMPIy
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqIs48Kbsu
Mina: “Oh, Midoriya!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBbzhmas3E
The entire class snaps their heads towards the boy, who instantly freezes.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE1AhSEVka
Izuku: “H-Hey-”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxNU9vuROu
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?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKxLzQERGt
Before Izuku could answer, Momo came to the front.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAk9VgU3Gr
Momo: “Midoriya, you don’t have to answer if you don’t feel comfortable. We trust you.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv9aOWzRyl
Uraraka: “Yeah! But we would still like to know.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1w7gn9dcO
Denki: “For curiosity’s sake.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJblheww7Ua
Izuku: “T-Thanks e-everyone. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what I know.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfbWGVQYrF
And so Izuku explained what he discussed with his family. After hearing the story, they all sighed in relief.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9YpF4J132
Ida: “I knew you were not someone who would do something like that on purpose. I’m glad I was not wrong.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHAu956MXV
Mina: “Yeah, looks like Bakugo was right.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoc5Vgv6LM
Izuku: “Kacchan?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS93B8Sal74
Kirishima: “Yeah, he actually defended you when we were worried. Crazy, huh?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFRCbpRmIL
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3JZY13Hyx
Izuku: ‘Is he… changing?’
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87egKax08w
Denki: “Wait a minute!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg9fZ6aVrN
Thunder Boy held his hands up before getting everyone back to what’s really important.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZC3KWtWHi
Denki: “Midoriya, are you telling us you spent days training with Yaoyorozu? At her house? Alone!?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3EPHH8exf
Izuku: “Y-Yes?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVX1gTF6Ix
Denki: “You lucky bas-”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ10DaDnWpp
His words are cut short by a stab to the neck by Jiro’s ear jacks.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoSyxb7CDC
Denki: “gah!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9oIDshT4L
Jiro: “Idiot.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdhK4MgoYP
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7XCAbGeD3
Momo: ‘Now that Kaminari mentioned it, that was rather bold of me. If Midoriya were a different type of boy, we may have-’
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WnbfhP9d4
Tokoyami: “The next match is starting.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aXZobKyem
They look at Tokoyami, who was sitting down already, prepared to view the next match.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlfHHoztNq
Kirishima: “Right! I don’t want to miss this!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDDQi02vIp
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx0IdSHSTR
Knowing which voice would comment, he immediately shut it down and focused on the match instead.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZrSUCh5V6
Izuku: ‘Good luck, Kiri. I know you can do this.’
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFW9FGkfGN
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCNLDiq4IP
Present Mic: “And here we are, folks, MATCH THREE!! Will this one be just as brief as the last two? Let’s find out!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7aekS5yVo
Kiri steps to the stage and faces her opponent, Aoi Nogami.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N5azQbNvE
Present Mic: “On one side, we have the silent and incredibly strong girl from the department of heroics, class 1-A, Kiri Tae!!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0UbVfUCYK
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!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd0peNpN6z
Aoi: “Sad to say, this match will be quick too.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1rGhZyQEx
Present Mic: “REAAAADYYYYY!?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TlxUn5lzE
Kiri didn’t respond; she got into a fighting position and readied herself.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEBkBllB9Q
Kiri: ‘Onii, watch me!’
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMKnr2yAaL
Present Mic: “START!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu9L6MUaPC
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeDtev6i7P
Present Mic: “Oh, will we have a real fight here, folks!?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0LmnxDKDh
If Kiri could sweat, she would be drenched. She tightens her stance and narrows her gaze.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ocTg8GviZ
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.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkaIM8RQlR
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43ne8O0Cyn
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutDVlO5CZd
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!?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQtppoSXIs
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM8eGzCHkw
But clearly, Kiri was a physical powerhouse as well.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeirmgiLyow
Aoi: ‘Oh, well. Here goes nothing.’
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNSyIKuLB9
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70eENIUaR8
So she goes on the offensive, dashing forward with fist raised, ready to knock the girl out.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30HIs33jtb
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw9HmxL5We
But before the blow landed, both her and the stage disappeared.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hTUY6w2It
Everyone: “HUUUUUH!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOakcVfiAo
Present Mic: “S-S-She teleported the entire stage high into the sky!!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRHoB3qehl
Kiri’s eyes widen as she sees the green grass feet away. She was… going to lose?
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaPDAe0WsK
Kiri: ‘No!’
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoXraapbSc
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJr4tciD6Z
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz9wGf2iT0
But aside from her body, what else is she always touching but never uses telekinesis on?
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTHaSzxSDf
Kiri: “SMAASH!!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimk3Xhhf2n
Air.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsImx6kLaz9
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!
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTOPb5dQc8
She shot straight through the stage, shattering it into several large pieces.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7fUL6Bj3U
Aoi: “Shoot!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVveRxHclWc
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU29ExlYYAi
Present Mic: “Thank you, Tornado, for saving the spectators and Midnight!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh9uFlMGVB
Tatsumaki nods before sitting back down to watch the conclusion of this surprising match.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5ZdVTbVUC
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!!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdxhBbiJ0h
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvcFhKyINZ
Seeing an opening, Kiri kicks off the air and tackles Aoi.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wGU9NoqvJ
Aoi: “Ugh!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcUVTnJMQv
They’re both quickly heading to a meeting with the hard ground.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj5lzqVs0m
Seeing this, Aoi teleports back up. But Kiri is still stuck to her like glue. This was it, the dead end.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVrSjORruN
She could keep teleporting, but Kiri wouldn’t let go, and Aoi can’t break out of the hold.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpFLGepLKf
Kiri: “Give. Up.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTifDIaO82D
Aoi closes her eyes and sighs.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaWbjEg8I0
Aoi: “Okay, you win.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDheTpMwsVd
With one last teleport, the two appear, standing on the grass.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2SNHm93T7
Aoi: “I give.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGZ1uvKdfe
Midnight: “N-Nogami surrenders! Tae advances to round two!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ldnuhqc48
With the results in, Kiri lets go of Aoi.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uQCn5ww3n
Aoi: “Man, you have a tight grip. Thanks for the match.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfMQSuJHsg
Aoi holds out her hand, and Kiri smiles before taking it.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSqgKxWynF
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.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jhf9iTcaF
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxONRXiIpP
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xWQi8UD3d
Denki: “You want to fight that?!”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKx656OWVy
Kirishima nervously chuckles.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrodE5hmu0t
Kirishima: “I have a long way to go. But yeah, I still want to show how far I’ve come as a fighter.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSas3gkeay
Denki: “Bro, are you an M?”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yt71rogSd
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GXec5IoHW
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.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDK44M4zAj
Izuku: ‘I know you’re strong, Kiri. But… ’
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C5z9285M0
He shakes the depressing thoughts away. This is a festival, right? Everyone should be having fun.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp1Mx1mvl1
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-’
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0AFmC5gSI
Good thing Izuku always has a notebook at the ready, because his mind is finally focused on something fun. Quirk analysis.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm17P0eMfEK
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1mjsOsEBC
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdTUrslFH6
His eyes flutter open, releasing a soft purple and gold glow. But before anyone could notice, it settled back into its normal state.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjkupp22Pb
But despite outward appearances, his eyes were different. They were better. All his senses were better. The world looked and felt different.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq7oiwEKDr
He was different. But why and how?
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBp7TjvhXe
Shinso was finally awake, and he needed answers.
