Chapter 35: Sibling rivalry is born

The climax of the match continues as the twins battle it out with looks of determination while the crowd watches in amazement and anticipation. While this is happening, Akumo told everyone that knowing the twins very well, they will most likely become rivals for the number 1 spot of the World Hero Billboard Awards once they become eighteen, because even though Hisashi is a head taller than Kouna, Kouna is the strongest member of Class 1a who can withstand anything. Soon, the twins clashed until they decided to unleash smokescreen. However, Kouna vanished much to her twin brother's confusion until she uses one for all: GMA to try to pin him down, which caused Hisashi to counterattack with one for one projectile before using its super move called projectile fireball. After Kouna puffed up her chest to deflect the fireball, she teleported herself to get to Hisashi's side and uses meteor smash to send him straight to the ground much to everyone excitement, while Ochaco starts freaking out until Izu quickly take her somewhere to talk to her. When the smoke clears, the twins are then seen breathing hard as they give each other glares until Hisashi has enough.


Hisashi then decided to use his psychic abilities on Kouna, causing her to quickly combine dash roll with her fire breath to counterattack before Hisashi takes the fight into the air again, Hisashi then uses double team to overwhelm Kouna, but she quickly got rid of them all using slam dive before joining Hisashi into the air as he told her that they are going to finished this once and for all. Hisashi then told Kouna to show him her worst, causing Kouna to unleash a super move called instant meteor frafroskies towards him, which also caused Hisashi to try using psych beam to defend himself. Kouna then uses her ability to read people's minds to listen to Hisashi thoughts as he expresses his shock to realized that he's getting weaker while Kouna herself is still standing. Hisashi then monologued about himself being praised by everyone and overshadowing his twin sister, because everyone expected him to be just like his dad Izuku, and he's going to reach those expectations if it's the last thing he'll do. Kouna then prepares herself as Hisashi decided to use one for all at 100%, which caused her to do the same as the match is near its end as the twins clashed while arguing about their differences and the World Hero Billboard Awards. Hisashi then angrily told Kouna that he doesn't need be protected before asking why she won't just give it up and admit that she can't win just like when they were kids, causing Kouna to tell him that she's not a kid anymore, and she's not going to stop until she's able to save everyone with a smile. Hisashi then unleashed a powerful amount of ice breath, causing Kouna to unleash the same amount of fire breath to counterattack, which also caused an explosion, followed by smokescreen as Kouna pinned her brother down before mocking him by saying "who's alpha twin now?" Hisashi then became devastated as a flashback of his four-year-old self saying the same thing to four-year-old Kouna until the flashback shattered and left Hisashi with a look of despair as he starts crying. The crowd then starts cheering as they chanted Kouna's name before Midnight announced that Kouna will be moving on to the final round, causing Class 1a, Class 1b, the cadets and the IHWO to run towards Kouna and congratulates her for getting into the final round, while Hisashi gets comforted by the guys of Class 1a and some of the members of the IHWO.


After Kouna solemnly watches Hisashi left in shame with Neito Jr. and Otto, Gentle and Labrava gets her attention so they can ask her now that she's the new alpha twin, what is she going to do now, causing Kouna herself to say that she's going to try to be number 1 at the World Hero Billboard Awards before making the same speech from Chapter 2 as Hisashi walk off as some of people starts whispering while everyone else cheers for him for the match. Soon, during intermission, Izuku and Ochaco came to wish the remaining competitors (which are Dora, Kurei, Otto, Izenko, Avalon, Bea, Tamaki Jr., and Kouna) before letting Midnight explained that unlike the other rounds of the sports festival, the final round will be split into two parts, causing Kouna gets overly excited until Bea calms her down as Midnight smiled at her. after the explanation of the final round, Kouna asks everyone about her brother Hisashi, causing Dora to tell her that because of his first loss against her, Hisashi became not only more serious about becoming a pro hero, but he starting to see Kouna as his rival for the number 1 spot of the future World Hero Billboard Awards. Kouna then look down at her fists and gives her cousins her determined face before pointing out that beating Hisashi is the first step to get him to smile again and be proud enough to see her as a fellow true pro hero. Soon after three minutes training with their monsters, the remaining competitors went to Midnight, so she'll announce the matches for part 1. The first match is between Kouna and Otto, the second match will be between Dora and Tamaki Jr., the third match will be between Kurei and Izenko, and finally, the fourth match will be between Avalon and Bea. Everyone then dispersed to continue their training with their monsters, while Kouna think about Hisashi's look of despair until she snaps out of it to continue training with Wanda.
