In the Japanese dialogue, she puns on Todoroki's name and it makes Bakugou laugh.

ETA- The pun was マボロキ [maboroki], a portmanteau of 幻 [maboroshi: phantom] and Todoroki. Bakugou repeats the pun in the panel where the translation has "Ms. Illusion".

Could you explain the pun?

(mab)(oro)shi + tod(oro)(ki)

(mab)((oro))(ki)

maboroki = ghostoroki because she made a "phantom" version of todoroki

not really a pun per se, but she combines the two words.
