Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOxA93bE15
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!?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXDh5FtUZZ
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.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDXob6HrgV
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgF4y6p6fi
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNezOMH2Ol
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBV5HrL5FE
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgXLqEF1BH
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHt9BkzOUo
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuxUynIpMW
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvRlWDOacE
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5ADKDNiIq
However-
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFTevLf7Ut
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIOrZIdagq
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwhekThIwE
Bakugo: “Tch.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48IS9Q9H2P
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SqekH385G
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VunqU9HJW
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUVd085zy8
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6FZKFc1be
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5AIE4sL5M
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnkJtg2msx
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqBsray13C
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XfPhoLnPU
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG0cM0kiu8
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT9LO6t8QJ
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9q6umutJc
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTLwSC0TZ2
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBMxv0BZ9w
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMjaPncPEi
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1PsOxExum
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjLf9ODKtl
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWTghOobxk
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj59HOsSSi9
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!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0G11IkVk2
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE3ogUeqml
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnbZ431o5v
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4zjrRk0Ui
Midnight: “Say what?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM0POyqEe6
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYEFhEMw4E
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.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lISUQYOL0
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYhn0Z4FmI
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fbAIeKEzL
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf4V3OJssw
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!!?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMtLxyBe6l
Uraraka: “What!?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6rVDNELaB
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVKVUjXsQh
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yz3FxGGp2
Izuku: “I get it.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rJvFQuUiO
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xTzTpj0SV
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzenzEae4zE
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.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yBxHFuY84
Uraraka: “Then why?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdnYBiGAOF
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.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVydcOw4aFH
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy0CQ0Srr7
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBl20eI5If
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.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWrzFCiYv7
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5fv0wMlrg
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcytaOslfk
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JY6mZZZiy
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkE1vwxvJ8
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjLRi3BFYh
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimBICihQbU
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT60UwAOsW
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83iIzdIa36
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO02hjFucLo
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryGPdy9X4O
Mina: “Whoa.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYXpGwnGXn
Momo: “Is she alright?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTGacbW3BY
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk7BhffxwK
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiiWT2ZemC
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoaBWIQSNC
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmQxGEY6Lq
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifMDhfJeDN
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTsz0flQZ8
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbx96KTxAI
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnnEsfwgQD
Kiri: “… What?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhusa7ljLCt
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.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE4zm5hgtV
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3IXYRIGAH
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6IewuVcnz
Kiri: “… Because… ”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62O37H9lSR
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHS9qGvmVn
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpoBuUmx0R
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GN28tHd9p
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPSRi0Csav
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?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvLkmh1GdE
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEf9GTqc1j
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOMUXTMzp8
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7qJM9OLMs
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUPdxObXBw
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.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlSsgOUS0h
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsspbnQJ7ne
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocTH3QmzoJ
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wS7S0C8La
She collapses to her knees.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o2xZpKSsP
Izuku: “Kiri?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINak4SKY6l
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyyyV5HlMy
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4YB6nPJx0
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.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhquDcBezX
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5zT3YM6W3
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuo9aWxVEW
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtHdv5k3aC
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2IjyiYBEv
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!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5UKOkglrZ
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3be4x4Mog
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.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9VfmSPaWA
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnAdEloX9o
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZl2TlglLj
And even friends.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY7djiaJuV
Izuku: “Fight!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aiTnRrCEg
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!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrlIaAqz9r
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbSG5Qt7B8
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A43X979ju
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.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YaqAEZ2CE
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5g4JEbO8I
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykH1WviTKz
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qPAmI5GZs
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrptKNsbhwz
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcwOUVa2yD
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiuu816vIJ
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f3cCm0hjA
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldcDTHSjQK
Sabrina: “Lock.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfHyqHNt9u
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjXuCbV0sd
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmOPesBae4
Kirishima: “Tae!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojxDDVGtCG
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaCgEDYHH4
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0f279b7vH
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkf8CVmxYl
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLITMkLflK
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ1GueRjmZ
Sabrina: “Lock!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsbGhCL6bj
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZzAuHwI4p
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqpq7PzLyw
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6jovn7SvH
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19H7SS9qxa
Sabrina: “I know.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PwaGL3dUW
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yNegwBNqb
Kiri charges the new opponent.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwePBWfdme5
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD1tz7fCpa
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGDw62DJfk
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhEP51PRUV
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKAOvIkq5D
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQoShPmsNy
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftjy86OkUU
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb1qjgIZfg
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51JY2Td8ar
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkaSpfWhDX
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu98PWgf44X
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAFpIbw9lM
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE2n5ElDm7
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiamnIbyt9P
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4JxLjgbiv
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ5Plhe9zS
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwTTu2jVN0
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sKIKP2eue
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AQVm90CGy
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3bMTg4s7i
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGZkHqMu5V
It was time.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zpmk6NXzO
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUTgZjuWCI
Sabrina: “What?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwWSscSoXl
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP1e5AvHEg
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET7pl3iFzG
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS5Lg72V8n
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPpmwtrVWM
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6um6TnJcR
But she doesn’t give up!
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJWJx2eVsg
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA71ZHr9jP
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjqGfCHW4g
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKovwGH41U
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4RSmbH1mO
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHJaFGmbFV
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8yebBsdaE
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpXxWeAAmY
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWLUgiLJuI
Her body tenses once more.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEdEDfEe9h
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdEVUca43Y
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCyXVHWSSn
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVboK3QXmvg
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYubRN5FESo
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGV686rhpA
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeqA89Rxr7
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevw3RH9Flu
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOxuPR3Qig
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3tfXIeor8
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMNAEjNKWY
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnGrejKYIg
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09fssA99aQ
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZMDlNP4DR
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqohG2aYvn
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!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchzDZLhOll
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmNgelyMIm
Neito: “NOOOOOOO!!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuQZ9cNTi8
Kendo: “Calm down, we did good. All things considered.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LaGSatJMM
Kaoru: “Yeah, Sabrina did her best. It was a great match.”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtybUbxBriD
The esper’s two friends nod with approval.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm976PfrOf
Tatsumaki: “I knew she could do it. She even created a move inspired by me!”
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdlrKo5Cr6
Fubuki: “… Yeah, that was impressive.”
