Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuWQt8k6Up
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!?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtBhYnIAd8
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.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUmc3qelMv
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXGwCgIm8W
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU0sOl4H2t
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjfBjotgx0
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls1RK4uyZf
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V7WjdJ89S
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsxUWttu3l
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq3CW3DNNl
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVYa7u8jyu
However-
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EkmmeWGqe
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm2OMeXcgg
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHYMXYaUZ7
Bakugo: “Tch.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjYhmVVXT5
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfwKZTpVTS
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvGGw9qPLZ
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxagPaAkau
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dpQFjvFEn
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV4xyd9450
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtq0ld2MH0
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57OKzRCKh2
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2TpQsvX3X
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH256M0CKY
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K5Nmp5qj8
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumdVogvzZe
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Gv78EzTZ
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXQUU6eP2P
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDkZXR2QJU
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUWx385t4l
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxsXAXkCSs
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB1bU03Ta3
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl57mVfx4a
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!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlRVK3RCFU
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKjOHONZRn
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2045BJmViK
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iTIuuizDJ
Midnight: “Say what?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡostXLd5GyN
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbx62yAahs
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.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeHgKIJThR
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhi7I0jpSH
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsnIqcHyDS
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH08ung5xky
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!!?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6656ZGygwH
Uraraka: “What!?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrec8kRxop
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjIS1XsDlY
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy6VD2M6OA
Izuku: “I get it.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAJ229w1wD
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc0Wj8EuGh
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyEpVBY7pE
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.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkORpSKoTJ
Uraraka: “Then why?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYw9zeid1y
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.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi7XJ2ZklR
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI6rftJO1S
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq45gaJ5RH
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.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59whRcjkPK
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDryqBhoZEl
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL9iamiyeF
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqdWWcAtqa
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLo04gXnWD
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C8cm2bjwx
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rmpLFNAp5
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQe4B8lMf7
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9erbhCs6NA
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt1dFzukqt
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuXvhnHFNf
Mina: “Whoa.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtap1V1z1Ts
Momo: “Is she alright?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0moU2iAKG
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgiSa2Eduw
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaj682LJkC
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiaaHXmPP5
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7NE50u2zN
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8ZK3i5Yz6
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPxufuYPUB
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWOUmpi51B
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJGMiRvQjG
Kiri: “… What?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBlVSkoXEB
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.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlV4ZO2eqv
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7WMaJG1t0
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo5hi31O0J
Kiri: “… Because… ”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJKPMVOGb6
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bMYlIC10j
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYv1TRjvLQ
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10ZPcbM4g7
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Vch3WKlN
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?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboi4R1jCw3
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmH19OhRsZ
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejxZy11NCe
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXJelelERR
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp3lgv6tSQ
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.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP4ZmUUq8p
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi2gYF54PA
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRi9m72FSd
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6ZjP1bG4I
She collapses to her knees.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0mnO7hwJ6
Izuku: “Kiri?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfyhqgZMa8
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZtFJPEZoj
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinH0Ixz0AE
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.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBIYMVHy8C
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZlj5eraDH
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9UjXNYPsk
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSL7NmSdER
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJCZMZuBFc
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!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVnnxRCLjY
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7liMZN1tcf
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.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRQ7fyoFoj
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnremE5Mwr
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkJIQ5nwt6
And even friends.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOIkvnfUAA
Izuku: “Fight!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJZ3H7DcCn
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!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3M6C5LRYw
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7wvNYMUFb
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCNB9LowpP
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.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAywQsl5aUF
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxKMsdLwT3
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc8vL3wp7B
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg0r8TYrN5
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8wLTEDWBG
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXpjBaceg2
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0q7JYoSMn
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAOz2QSZnz
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f9SkKwFMx
Sabrina: “Lock.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNmBk2Ptai
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17W8qbcofi
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAqkzWMWk9
Kirishima: “Tae!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFylZQZctuv
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxK2hZrjO9
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bCCN4iD8F
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4xt45kn4x
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR0AdsE5yv
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwutd5jRWd
Sabrina: “Lock!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf1l3Jkjih
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTf3EgpJtA
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFES7j1VyWw
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamELu7iYjr
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUECEEhYLu
Sabrina: “I know.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMS7RO04db
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuN6s3OAED
Kiri charges the new opponent.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDRuIQIHPA
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaJinRTW5I
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfAHJht0Ze
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eUPlPc3Ej
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9faf0mjhM2
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81MBLleFtU
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgF94m0I70
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxr1boC9tk
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGr0HkucCw
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkTRNs37o1
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3dKi7KcsE
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOA4gBLjgH
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5FXjE0zCd
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyC2lrVyDZ
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPGfnfWybA
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JEgHmuCFD
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4sJkG8z35
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGuaDb9yW3
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS6qj3IB7L
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsHbvjdrOi
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHarXeNlc9Y
It was time.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojMvrpyCsB
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUCeUJz2ci
Sabrina: “What?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvFCeaslZM
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HVC4ZQ8fW
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnyCePgMR8
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0xACXRU9K
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm1eJ4Wgbl
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcRcMhFxfW
But she doesn’t give up!
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoude2MxJT
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitqbZqM7kQ
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6ElLeYzgf
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gM3NWT0Fn
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9LCq6FKcX
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbc8clOLRw
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHfZDZCD9d
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhbF8DGvWX
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiz8YOsXSq
Her body tenses once more.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLwtQDHJJB
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ4CHOSCXa
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN00Ta2g38
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqyFbdM5Kv
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI26g4Elbg
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jLwwTYNiN
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2a5bJLFS3
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zIeySJryX
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVLzj2I9cM
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oNuskQVbN
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz68nM1Bm8w
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHDSPiGpiu
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaJQbpJLmB
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.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQvMtBtsQc
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLWZEbX0fr
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!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV25AKKyOZd
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbJZEaJEwy
Neito: “NOOOOOOO!!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7hYLNR7SG
Kendo: “Calm down, we did good. All things considered.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugB306Ps2J
Kaoru: “Yeah, Sabrina did her best. It was a great match.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWl40cC2jh
The esper’s two friends nod with approval.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19PVRWUd3y
Tatsumaki: “I knew she could do it. She even created a move inspired by me!”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeULsf3lid
