Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwjLGY3IsP
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!?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96hXI1AZzy
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb91oTyZAIK
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXubOq4USjR
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnXJFTpZ8v
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sFQAZZbYJ
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3fTKfzdcZ
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXudfakyBrP
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf0Fr5hfvp
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4gJjJBDc2
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjBo6nsv6l
However-
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTMrjMJeQd
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcTktUIZAo
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjNMMwp9LN
Bakugo: “Tch.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkXsmklmSs
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNIDuJFPEk
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVImTwrchos
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnhWOqsxoy
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFBAurqwiO
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjPXv3TgPs
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyqLKGRB5L
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmhG9ATS31
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL898xxFNT
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8RV2PuNPj
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mgEzg0u6f
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk64gxdUsxN
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBibaFj7Oj
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjOPjFNllO
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8JovyPgBp
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jxVuSZ9IA
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKSy9R61Qs
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzqX9nlXTq
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0qQbWNs4y
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!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbGeTlyRb2
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMsraTbThy
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQGaQ5gW2b
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexLJE5WTRo
Midnight: “Say what?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ3egXotW9
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlMbQsKDkc
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbWZXWgwLu
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0JgRIPgp3
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3yYroAZuG
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOLgsoFBtM
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!!?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XDGcvJJxU
Uraraka: “What!?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmwI4rSzAs
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtmBf4Xjrz
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPVwpSTJBs
Izuku: “I get it.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLXxdqUV6D
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCatKlPLuW
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjz2OAlM55
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCMmeWLQFQ
Uraraka: “Then why?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsx4MqVvvN
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqjGsLFPK2
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZxrdGGTQy
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6uR34c6h9
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbN50ZU8Wm
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteYZ7zzugr
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YM6eNLG0G
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7esKDZ6DP
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctftEQAtCF
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXHDuese3I
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJGPvItONe
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEAXgH4uYo
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTcxVjHgKG
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mb7Rytu3R
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCohnPIrc5f
Mina: “Whoa.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz6WVQkS4m
Momo: “Is she alright?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dUASD9K3H
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv90fyROck
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9EK05pQyD
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ57RosLPl
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi9jUGLDkg
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeaoqN8hlS
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzyg56xHQ2
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtaTAq1Htk
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsu5b6rKQo
Kiri: “… What?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2BYhiKZFs
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVecndfUbC
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP3WQOZEtS
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXorVswTYOP
Kiri: “… Because… ”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHImQjYkgTK
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjhzpPSpjV
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vSI2y3OPB
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoetkwNyBN
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGVgtYJ72H
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?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb19t0fNPe4
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQIcd12vMN
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrLskEJD6S
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoc0cxPN83
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzfbRTRu5i
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1yvvplxKY
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQJGj4vlsn
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5TTcgazND
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn9bTSs2id
She collapses to her knees.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CXFHm8aiq
Izuku: “Kiri?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3n7bUMdpD
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XDIOv1JE1
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbt5WaMNtD
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhPt59Kl2n
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqNM8x0AST
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHkj7Pthe1
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkoeS5NV59
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI83Sr6zPS
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!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nyV2GSkbh
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSB3qUV14Q
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9obMnbaSWp
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKiqaM2hpK
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr6DkLCqEg
And even friends.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYkm2GJdJm
Izuku: “Fight!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUmaTavkZS
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!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qLj8PKQ75
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiSerNraVe
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqNAEDQRqA
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.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ2RScIZ3l
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM3IdcuQqa
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfnMM2Fwad
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwlrdGT93N
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgeFKX8wAH
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9RFhGgVV8
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDBhszKn9z
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuU4bwnlFn
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvZxCZQeo2
Sabrina: “Lock.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR9YydNu0Q
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMKJy3oywc
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MuPhFMH0y
Kirishima: “Tae!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dD9QR2zfn
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd4QFDmoeB
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaBcAor1HG
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV7HHHwcxF
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97xet0Y59j
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92pbW6CuAx
Sabrina: “Lock!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oxx03Jtjb
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHIQtfkMG2
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP9sJ0iPnh
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMEWGKAf7V
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbHwkck6tc
Sabrina: “I know.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z6ZFrl4Hw
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhv8jiUQYk
Kiri charges the new opponent.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipqnp0SsRd
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDJmvPbDke
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJtJH0SQWu
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeEvR9QZyX
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9KeAwDPtl
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEqrhwzoKD
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPrH17ng1e
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6qNzoHQYm
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ywPymwDkr
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTySd0kTBSj
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgxuxakjDD
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUca23YxQF
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtczxUJH82
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquJe4SQkh8
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEyHdgSzB1
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIuGRBkKFb
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMZifxOHOc
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq27q8gkPeU
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0OzhOkSEo
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAYTP1TZ8J
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIdvdYmk4R
It was time.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozD6Fcejxk
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V7S0xaOtp
Sabrina: “What?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jRBJSoMA3
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphPIpFJsGw
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwV9AxENTS
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39OTvbKzxw
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwuyOQsVHc
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2b1MQxZSw
But she doesn’t give up!
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbJwR86hhl
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MlYEfFUTb
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4RIdxKe91
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi20YSMRZU
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GIaoOAZRi
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDrsmJLgem
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl20O6HL8uu
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb8cNJG5qS
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtLjplQEud
Her body tenses once more.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVkXAYAsmQ
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs47WSrR9z
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfquRGsPfMq
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO8bvEVmrE
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrSvaulkAv
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYYv9XXBei
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ogNlznWco
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEEBtnCXOS
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm1gtgeOgq
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPg5DKQIXH
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JWj4AwxeD
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPAKlG8Ya8
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyas6Aii1S
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilxkYEQlPu
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVrqCli8q4
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!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPSSpgJB30
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAJC1uxLsg
Neito: “NOOOOOOO!!”
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7neUjwuJjK
Kendo: “Calm down, we did good. All things considered.”
