Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqa9ohVeTG
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!?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSouHhYNJj
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKZEzmB5ik
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s96e8qIPe
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hKMspBCVv
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yXs71ZP4m
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DfCmOq1qz
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaq4VfmTyr
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ1Lz8C1mh
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqRyD8WRwm
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJLgHtJqIL
However-
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVn1ANE0uo
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aqJzMfSee
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc39HnqQGv
Bakugo: “Tch.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwjDT4Slvb
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5IT3Hibou
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWH1zqKIXI
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWjn7s8zTq
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d10ttfPNu
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk00UciErg
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Xa4nL7Qq
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIjODlshZt
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkSve9Jq4I
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5zkgH8NRc
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAoZzFRRQw
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo3U861Y9n
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQzMlBEZXK
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYgaSWLIE6
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmncDaOjGnO
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0ph0YWzBE
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEcWgsTtWA
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2A6yEXovf
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22xLk1cnwj
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!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMTVQHP9JK
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ5IZsqRvJ
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D3wZDomQ1
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct7yeamxFP
Midnight: “Say what?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPstcMRFmoC
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViECzsk3Tc
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoVRk0xmdZ
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ksTQvUBo
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqFpsXTG0v
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsSe63w7hE
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!!?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbcwbdNkZf
Uraraka: “What!?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0eqHH4ZgC
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN0VaLHLSF
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm1CNfFwWn
Izuku: “I get it.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU9hTC94ND
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBpCoMS0bB
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPx6TWrE22
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhunwKEY91
Uraraka: “Then why?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp4CFh2FEA
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwwlxtgk1W
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8ykEXSnRW
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIjlve8eZk
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNYtN4PdCd
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjHndMzcSf
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wmZCGY193
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5u1XyE3xz
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeBjz0Yn9i
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffWwOWl0ua
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYX8rnJfnn
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6V2ECTpxj
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAjuGhxTNx
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPcb2QT94T
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4N1xkioEk
Mina: “Whoa.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv28VcvgmwP
Momo: “Is she alright?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECj4cXGyWz
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxcxT0btcG
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxHIPVt757
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXAoRhtzRY
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCxsLxErqe
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75DRMgXlm3
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudPapH0Za6
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb1yxpkshu
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSlSUbXjv1
Kiri: “… What?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDGaeftbmq
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wmEhP97CW
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oer5eyTrA
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9U5IKbMA5
Kiri: “… Because… ”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFND1c93qO
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XO5oy0vDd
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwmxWFZjjx
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCe7qKfxJ2
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rInkBdyN8
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?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHrspGdOJF
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdOZZkUjzn
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tSQno9dav
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRnopVUAJy
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufJn6nNpkP
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4ZxkeQKYi
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw1qVZGKf8
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXYRRLZ8vj
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpppclbJQw1
She collapses to her knees.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6gTthVPJs
Izuku: “Kiri?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIEi2RGw76
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kn5k9kpr8
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheueJXH2rQ
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidsuV74mdO
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGWtuPEkZD
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I8UWPwHNH
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs7diIlZt1
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI9QXGohYT
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!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3C2q1sb02
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhv6yZVP8V
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu3tO0OWCI
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSX1DxE53z
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAodWGJfUd
And even friends.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAiBssO1kE
Izuku: “Fight!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QDsKRns2L
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!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6x3aneB8p
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL70Ez8hJP
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdiO2zmZnr
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvStmxQqUmH
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqaUVTMSri
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBmT8gv1mF
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZKA47htQw
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnTKqUckA3
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58tAXSlOm2
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BWHlvzoom
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaiz12uWHv
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbetmFNim1j
Sabrina: “Lock.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjTa7fZtcm
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zUR5RZbQP
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8dcG4OJW8
Kirishima: “Tae!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcRFobpXYR
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMPd2PiebG
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJiqzZZBgH
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsp3sD6DfE
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP7jlx8xd8
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkOffS4m38
Sabrina: “Lock!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk3AdFXfuS
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu2SUKvj8g
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkj3ANaxBb
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzj93txaVd
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9QvDmwoP5
Sabrina: “I know.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfSV46N8Vy
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe06kjhPU23
Kiri charges the new opponent.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTATOlTSh5a
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZlV1Pf72Y
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwCkQjIlL5
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuEhYFaWhF
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtNFTzbBEI
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyI3xLrSQ8
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMm4U5ymU3
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE7ReoPB74
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6ECZXU6Tr
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9DGWvKVxo
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU37NxyJsrL
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrixvhkk3u
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJn7la5Bin
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuRIX33nvT
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdViiJBsde1
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYsHLBxFb7
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSRduCkz9O
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoyhdUpE7n
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBaXPIXCgt
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD5rzPK00q
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1funJnigU
It was time.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVTsDJYVrL
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaR95RRj7F
Sabrina: “What?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPhX2JYb33
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuhW6N3k81
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d33Ca5FHb
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb7vaiXnaG
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPySKEWdTxs
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcR4d0WCZu
But she doesn’t give up!
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFjE0kOTwv
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9vgHo89fg
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DlCkXpS49
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uSRnbacmg
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzwOT5BV6t
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFyRCjaeef
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhlu3L0f2t
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO1jD25BCF
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvDjSMX9pX
Her body tenses once more.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjD8xNczjo
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn0ht4xN7T
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2u9msxeP8
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbEgywAFT0
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIo3NMWWKg
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevrSjM7Eu5
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4JJyXIH3a
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLvif9smqU
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89YSShi1g5
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVaxyomu6b
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AFYjQvt0k
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfNJ2ffDXW
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3fUhDD695
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh4WFeUKQh
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjgr3wYlEs
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!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlz5HMEloK
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4CY6SmG34
Neito: “NOOOOOOO!!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09hFI14D73
Kendo: “Calm down, we did good. All things considered.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH010fPmPo
Kaoru: “Yeah, Sabrina did her best. It was a great match.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ1H71WA47
The esper’s two friends nod with approval.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaYRkk40ls
Tatsumaki: “I knew she could do it. She even created a move inspired by me!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2oO0KGIQ0
