Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjnCIf6LaG
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!?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2ejioCssd
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjuHPDlAIQ
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14GNRCjFK6
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifLU8X7VmI
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jrjLGlbkd
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uG7GNyPW3
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfFLcKKIAr
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9bbxp34tN
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjW0G4kd5F
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGTHp9Nj7S
However-
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Amjqic0Q
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtraXUfZhTC
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN4avJmzzW
Bakugo: “Tch.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGR765DMxk
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMF8ISaloS
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OirEFp2Bk
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvZfuL7eAW
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJbD6OSZbg
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZOqEZpBnr
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYD9eSMsyu
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhxMJ4GMOV
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKR4W4GQGc
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuXGeD5EuW
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb2WT0ziss
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSLfJNwt8q
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGpnSrCwt7
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9GXBslh4u
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYagc9mROvn
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpgxyAP9Se
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywrb0ldrNR
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAVqxrVCpn
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsI9KMAjr0
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!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5grj0gLsk
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVL3SdxlbL
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfz7jbIGFb
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPdb3GZHMP
Midnight: “Say what?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnHDZUrcEd
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z0IK7dsQD
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenUyrJUbQL
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8TPot30Bc
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0I5XHzgcq
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ASqjoQc3k
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!!?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd37cK8O5yE
Uraraka: “What!?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLJuVcE7lW
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYrna0XzYJ
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNL3UBc7Ch
Izuku: “I get it.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWN8V0IYYC
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz347A7Rk7
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1UfWob13J
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvaBRNgnMZ
Uraraka: “Then why?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKuJrjWEuq
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MpKXKsrot
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyv4fvU46A
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwWGmUi7JA
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZH5vhj53j
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu3aQojbsK
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rS8HzWKY6
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk07fkMs0AF
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa21v8Fhvy
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMagdD20ld
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7Y7eq0lKY
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3bagTQvQq
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjq2B6xvLU
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWJcPlau5R
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIa70LX5X1
Mina: “Whoa.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8xcL2KoTx
Momo: “Is she alright?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpdJRCgbvX
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvB2bkqKhz
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZIlGJaXUZ
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbQhsXlnZC
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qAwVtCikr
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZQjn4kp5K
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU14NtjbJSq
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn7r8Lu3gb
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouPJkATGeG
Kiri: “… What?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzGYNmLpdC
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8Xj78nLwN
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbNDNnRwGa
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfS6FTkvSm
Kiri: “… Because… ”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO57qH1SEmN
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYyNZsx2j4
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ddTvOiJbP
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJBVWNvHvx
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFFcD90rGf
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?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMQkOlid4k
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJWTuDg7zE
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vVY2md4my
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKlVjd8Hy7
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX2jquIZRy
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaguh7obB2X
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7mPv3CTup
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQVckXhwJ3
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gGFwPqUjL
She collapses to her knees.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpSnOxGU7M
Izuku: “Kiri?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoziSfHpGf
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PV8q5brrg
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR1BcUONQ2
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqIIqxO9RY
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIIUgnYBUb
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbVyTHOH89
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvENPPrzAE
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWi6q0f5Nh
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!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCucxqTyyQ
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfGFwn7uxo
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KD7aYBGeQ
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXztBGR3Pz2
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR3lvIxM4O
And even friends.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YY5rwSOaU
Izuku: “Fight!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxFAaxMXbL
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!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGakScrXlfS
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJoL02O2qt
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l1HP9ECpo
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXBZmwLNhf
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj7gAzo7br
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2on46OFIu
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxcjJVIrRz
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz95pYAEQV
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kSN21TO4F
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYjOdjlKXy
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihCSuexzvc
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxWWLwHUlg
Sabrina: “Lock.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC97WXI36U
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Prxl1ou1
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi8Zvpa93j
Kirishima: “Tae!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmnyUegZsv
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzVSPVWRaF
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUYozrRZXO
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnmMIxhlHz
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWHAlCZv2p
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctZDrB2I4V
Sabrina: “Lock!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRAK1RtkUN
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux943UN2BG
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IlzfD3Gk5
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAiVk4x2ZG
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKKlHOz9kD
Sabrina: “I know.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvFLE8nFXj
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYollmpcpF
Kiri charges the new opponent.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08nx6aQSKE
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7r7VckYTX
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz6aM0NY7h
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9vc1m2oEO
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8EpqQlYph
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6fM5ykYi3
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYgE9Wccm6
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG6HhO48j7
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1DR4NsqOV
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRL0gwPC57
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44n0b2HyeW
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cMZEL4is7
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PvLhvmOC3
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPO7QZx14e
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kBRoAhvXe
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSQIzVd35E
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlML5Z1a7hY
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2r429NRqp
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2IcaqUxf3
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7cQ277XkJ
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgxamKwJFx
It was time.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rG6Rvmsn9
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6pb1pTYw7
Sabrina: “What?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoFHZJIYQ3
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRSc3i7szS
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aNIm3FLo3
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOCHTqGpH9
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CS0EwgsHu
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcf6ut6UYV
But she doesn’t give up!
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNC3awb8jG
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE2Z5BYrka
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDWWvo1TbK
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8122qpQmv
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwTfZ67ilu
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAZ42dQ2TG
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcFPq3z4Ue
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qraO82fDS
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp7fwODfel
Her body tenses once more.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiiyyCUM4R
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTU8EpTOur
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloYmFjJF6Y
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIvpfRCtfY
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhVtSyQqVY
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlja57abrTZ
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30e2PxCRHg
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JSHMUv3bc
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1GLzo9BJk
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbtYzkolIQ
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcopdGHt7v
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlouBWW1Z9s
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3svgyDynzP
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCh7XiXZNM
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhb1Iwe4S2
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!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkQwyo2Ji5
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk19N4SMJYA
