Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIwPHURBks
Present Mic: “And there it is! The secret technique Kanto has been teasing this whole festival! But wait a minute! Isn’t this supposed to be a 1v1? How is that fair!?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3AS6iy8pV
Sabrina: “Don’t worry. I won’t fight as long as Kadabra, a mental projection I created, is on the field. And half the damage done to it goes to me. And vice versa.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfHcWymg03
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr0NDwsayg
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrJ8YiZd5O
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TRCA4hHJf
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbkRYgAhVk
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9zj4tBWdV
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV9XtDOJhz
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEvX5hpEim
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh8lxOCqrk
However-
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJBcGWHFPf
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSZ6p0mM0G
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX1Tts8wLY
Bakugo: “Tch.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdriCRxGkou
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCJEBu3cYC
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WLZu2Wgdg
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHBj82dVIE
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6huWXEZVZs
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgzE5sZr3J
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdcHtPFH52
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gDgc4Fd7x
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBKQgyzSW5
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZwNax9dGv
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8BSGr55NP
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeoaopTomm
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FtRmsPILu
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tWW0Ftnf4
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38avn7IQUO
Through sheer fucking will, Bakugo squeezed the last of his strength to explode himself straight toward Sabrina. This completely took her off guard, and so she was rammed by the Bakugo missile.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHLhFFAnaD
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsn5Ud2PDF
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxkCt4tb9s
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGvO1d7XpE
Present Mic: “Well, would you look at that! Our first tie right before the final battle! Since both students seem like they have fight left in them, we’ll have to think of a tie-breaker! Sick around, folks, the finale is almost here!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbiisVrG6a
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4vJ6XUPtK
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X2pZ6hnLS
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpyKi9b5gO
Midnight: “Say what?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbbQXelnRT
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7iu0WuqnE
Bakugo: “A draw means nothing. It’s worth nothing. That’s not a victory, and I refuse to go along with any sort of bullshit ideas you guys have for a tiebreaker. I lost, so just give Kanto second place. I don’t care. I’ll just win for real next time.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDAO2eBGjU
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3lhjNJnOb
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W7G8XbYLo
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoNbHpqfRM
Present Mic: “Well, due to Bakugo thinking a draw is as good as a loss, that means the finale is on!! Kanto or Tae, class 1-B or class 1-A, which one will go home with the gold!!?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgL1vLuwFp
Uraraka: “What!?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKN7pol6XU
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnpjLyA5c0
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZBNZYxok5
Izuku: “I get it.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdupBrJO9Sp
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZP4B17wLM
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv7RpVNP52
Izuku: “I… just needed some time to think. That’s not important right now. I’m just as surprised as you, Uraraka, but I do understand.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV1vk4zQDt
Uraraka: “Then why?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdex75n7l4g
Izuku: “Because Kacchan wants a complete victory, one that can’t be questioned. A draw can be questioned. Any tie-breaker game won’t help either. It’s not a real fight, and so not a victory, even if he did win.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltB9wRDwTv
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFuWIUDkwR
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFosuFl1hLE
Kirishima: “Hmmmm, it might have been best to stop anyway. He really pushed himself past the limit. Kanto is pretty banged up, but she still has that mental projection thing.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmbdVsfZEE
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqpDXYtXKg
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuyh90xqa8
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EaueWz0C9
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h8UWRGIYp
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjdIbXsLRM
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9tjdYzfgf
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvRWWa8r0Q
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDKDpiTzCd
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XaBaJEup9
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIqxCdS9r9
Mina: “Whoa.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6hBxqUQCh
Momo: “Is she alright?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN1m74DqcB
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyuBSusE1y
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f8L6xuFOS
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg767fIo3x
At last, the finale. The contestants were given five minutes to prepare while the stage was repaired. The day was dragging; it was time to end this.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmjJXgVnSK
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzL8FODNgT
She didn’t care anymore. The sounds of confusion didn’t help calm her mind. Right now, she was just waiting for Kanto to ring her out. To be done with this.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISdYpwS8c8
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9FlmAj4Gd
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYX8OQnZBf
Kiri: “… What?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziHM6I2Oxm
Sabrina: “You shouldn’t be in this tournament. A mental projection, no matter how real it may seem, is not a real person. That’s as if Tokoyami wanted his Dark Shadow to compete.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRTv8WX3eI
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EOlod57NO
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspmifxuB3J
Kiri: “… Because… ”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFbmacd2QJ
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp57SZVsStI
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxNiHEgiMf
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kxv7q0Gsk
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HlrNcKnCf
Sabrina: “A similar thing happened to me before I met my friends. I split off a part of myself, creating a mental projection born from my repressed desire for friendship. One that contrasted with my strong desire to improve my quirk. Is that what happened to Midoriya?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTOt4WZBGD
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyCb1UBlGD
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNjDLWQEya
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVp0Aas1Zh
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKhZiolkH8
Sabrina: “No. He is not whole, incomplete. He is unable to use the power that you have, the power that sustains you. But worse than that, he will not be able to grow as a person.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIZauO622e
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGYdFxTlMi
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsfn3q8qIj
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dHclDtIdz
She collapses to her knees.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPcDR47vDD
Izuku: “Kiri?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbto94J5o8u
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xh2Zfzkt4
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUZO0GsSpN
Sabrina: “I will help him, as Kaoru helped me. Whatever love you two may share, it will only end in tragedy. You will hurt each other in the end. This is the best thing you can do for him.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOkvG4ipnI
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4widPTV14L
Sabrina goes to grab Kiri’s head; a psychic attack there should knock her out. Then she can help return her to Midoriya in private.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e1SKpbY6h
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkURXJ05C8
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCiqMIfw2j
Tatsumaki: “What are you doing?! After coming so far, how can you give up!? I know you’re better than that. Snap out of it!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwHzG4gJYe
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzgGDjmsAF
Fubuki: “I don’t know what’s going on, Kiri, but… even I’m worried. Mom is worried; we’re all worried. Don’t give up, not like this.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRCbgPNDpv
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo0QiUqJ50
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9nOXi7jqx
And even friends.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGU1dbvwvO
Izuku: “Fight!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjUP9wDUQ8
Izuku: “I still want to do this together, Kiri! I want to be heroes with you! So don’t give up, not on me or yourself! Because heroes never give up!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsxPPMtDVq
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y6tFzbRRv
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUtjZtdtqT
Kiri: “Maybe you’re right. It might be better for Izu… if I disappear. But my love is real. I love my family and my friends. I can’t disappear. I don’t want to make them sad. I want to live.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv4vYp6hGk
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94CCnaa43c
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmOfd3sUbv
Was she wrong? Was Kiri different to from what she imagined? Her other half was nothing like this. The person she was couldn’t have made real friends on her own, and the love was twisted. The inner conflict made physical nearly broke her family apart.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51luf7eT2N
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU7K9HxQJW
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSTxklYgVQ
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjo2N4Gkzj
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoke4q1WOR
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAHJWKBSFa
Sabrina: “Lock.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8oUDTkjDn
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeNU8QdL7Q
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHfJKSgRyh
Kirishima: “Tae!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm1FS2mHlC
Straining her tactile telekinesis, Kiri breaks the lock and kicks the air below her. Far in the sky, Kiri counters by unleashing several air cannons at Sabrina.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZioUVCvAb
The esper swipes them away with her whips, but some weren’t aimed at her. Some cannons damaged the stage, creating usable rubble for later.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGryQYpoAU
But before that, Kiri kicks off the air and rockets towards Sabrina. Quickly, she transforms her whips into a shield that blocks Kiri’s blow.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC04zJgQJnF
With Kiri touching her psi-shield, Sabrina was able to electrify her. Kiri cried in pain, but she didn’t stop. She forced her hands into the shield, and with a grunt of effort, tore it apart.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo35ZEWM4Hs
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuWv9CYOGg
Sabrina: “Lock!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0ORuLlTXD
But this time, it only stopped Kiri long enough for Sabrina to jump away. Kiri didn’t let this chance pass; she increased the strength of her blow and caused further damage to the stage.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtmnzZhwcT
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMv9h8oGPx
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiI25WuLRr
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17xRSGUXp0
Sabrina: “I know.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW4WwW2zWq
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKgUeJT569
Kiri charges the new opponent.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVABAF57kgG
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03CMzdA0F4
This time, Sabrina made sure to stand while Kadabra fought. But that didn’t help her resist the wind pressure generated when Kiri struck Kadabra.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ygdfrVA7K
Doing a front flip, Kiri delivered a devastating aerial axe kick that managed to push Kadabra back. But Kiri kept the kick going and struck the stage, damaging it even further.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPpetSfNXe
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W1kEDV3D5
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeqlg2zPRN
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2iNrIOWyF
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzW62iHXGr
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kx8y5RnBf
Kadabra points its silver spoon at Kiri and unleashes a yellow lightning bolt shaped like a dragon. Kiri is struck by the attack and hisses in pain. But she soldiers on and attacks the ground where Kadabra was.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtFIewNceN
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTFsV9jjH5
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVoRao07at
And so on it went, Kiri attacking blindly while being struck by several bolts of electricity. Her passive barrier was slowly being worn down. Her attacks are doing less and less damage to the stage.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ299AkgiUWW
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cq23ck5JY
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx49qIUe3P8
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EOXsZFyf5
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgufK5saHrB
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeHsVkoztF
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWKAYhrqsS
His class turns to Izuku in surprise, but he says nothing. They’ll have to just wait and see. But he’s not the only one who notices something. Shiho also notices the increasingly damaged stage.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA1ADfcDYp
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUaaP1t6mr
It was time.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPwFfMzpag
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TsLrAk5b0
Sabrina: “What?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsA5MD2lJl
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaSmYH9q50
Suddenly, air was rapidly being sucked into her fist. But not just that, all the rubble and loose earth were being sucked in too, drawn in by the wind.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbXM1aQ5e6
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIivqgEgE15
It raises its spoon to the sky and three lightning dragons explode into existence. With a tilt of the spoon, the dragons slam into Kiri.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTan2U8V8Zm
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc6NDJR0Q0
But she doesn’t give up!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u6LKtwwwA
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EeTl1AZZS
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Da2cRVwLy
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRP5Tirm2A
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTGWv4cwMZ
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKuc5kvgYG
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnFZemixlX
Suddenly, the air stills. It was time; she gathered all she needed. Kiri calls out her ultimate move, one she made inspired by her sister and by her brother’s number one hero.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ui7jX9jR
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAid0ZJQbY
Her body tenses once more.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWRQKUrvOm
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28D0T6Zmu5
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC9PWqEdWF
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTExBA5y382
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WMqVBKXk4
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M7P3gW9td
A tornado comparable to the other two great bombs of the tournament batters everything in front of Kiri. The surge of thunder, earth, and wind slams through Kadabra and engulfs Sabrina.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2LS9kVtTD
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAhvjVPn2x
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s0K89Pjwu
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmGnw9XYiy
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5WH0xtux2
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd5ZABXsV8
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLooLnFzpD2
Thanks to Kiri’s strategy and the fact Sabrina couldn’t defend herself well with Kadabra on the field, the stage beneath her feet was destroyed. The girl was on her knees, damaged and out of the ring.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfLyzJQ2NF
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IF5HOj5c4
Present Mic: “And now the tournament comes to an end! The winner of this year’s Class 1 Sports Festival is Class A’s Kiri Tae!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIEbCnDwea
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HDDbIEgO2
Neito: “NOOOOOOO!!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMWFyXHF8R
Kendo: “Calm down, we did good. All things considered.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMnBpZmqkF
Kaoru: “Yeah, Sabrina did her best. It was a great match.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMRNmO6roH
The esper’s two friends nod with approval.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HdSE8iyg6
Tatsumaki: “I knew she could do it. She even created a move inspired by me!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VnI2BKIb4
