Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKv92Xf98X
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!?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcTHrr2AXZ
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.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0UAlgB6u2
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkYixRVsAm
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmT2A6TWZG
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vgUbeIVlc
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBCom3FFqR
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhvDzasWlR
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgWRtFzg2l
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUuYDqQKdr
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx6sho2Q28
However-
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ibiugtfoK
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbEX2vAFcb
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkqu2IXsDo
Bakugo: “Tch.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9LfjYWyJ1
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGLEep78zg
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM7iyKEvN2
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdILUbP0bh
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyleuKp5JD
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0jSBPyzGW
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCltGYEQno
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaPlTSquAf
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUnd2RYtbw
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNZRbHJA9F
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3kkMLlLVI
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWzUJYwMuM
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR59xFFM0e
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJyhMiaJRl
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsilWVdvHA
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQpHHMKyzy
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr51VYGQm5
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZksOTik6G
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZMGEEHHlb
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!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd1c3SIGpd
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5740jkDJD
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNhULFxPna
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRely6Wuzfs
Midnight: “Say what?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevWvaJzgBP
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHk5Sp6w9W
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.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA7r9Y5znL
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq94HJIuz5
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNPCRkGU4b
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOMi1fEG9q
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!!?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHc4aFIhLP
Uraraka: “What!?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe4RlttLwl
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7O1rvCAL3
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiddFFsYKEW
Izuku: “I get it.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUje5VEChJ
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0AvhLw1vC
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AZB4pYxpJ
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.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkOT8DS7Vq
Uraraka: “Then why?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPN0KH0iOT
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.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW634Vilw1
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fFnXlKXOk
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8niDaSEkt
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.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5omzcfkaW
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXg0xlLslS
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRMqJLSoq5
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEU3pefNKy
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXezxrdIPm7
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFfaCQ6SkV
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfxd88V7pz
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn20swsTLl
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrkiunKrEu
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawMjXckjgT
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m5LdLHrEa
Mina: “Whoa.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuuujH7ivE
Momo: “Is she alright?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNnDpOu6rI
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gnr8xnzsF
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjNkjc94zv
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o93XyVSYQ
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEkNEr3BIw
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwymXlHaRe5
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpq44N6rml
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpdupReW9B
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagR3mcV1Vk
Kiri: “… What?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG77o2cpMv
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.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0jb2cMchF
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuMTEbYZyO
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYKloFEdAU
Kiri: “… Because… ”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsYqSu1RGR
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z8F5NWJm6
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd4OnmPbtn
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P2ebq95Bq
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXEtHLU3Z1
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?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4HWxv64Db
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SEgEZRLJG
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNxGAg28yf
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkoOphBK7r
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X6tfACB3q
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.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ342Dpmu3tu
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAVekZwZS7
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIsM9TFnuE
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfdIWw78cu
She collapses to her knees.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq24sglWs4
Izuku: “Kiri?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ99hN6RSg
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWEwNlmr44
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Xq6k5lhp
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.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi2fDqpoYr
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuCwWwa9hS
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas4TPazTzP
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh5VJsvepn
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrccPIhO8uE
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!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkarYZAkyGQ
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYVB3tyUXt
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.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp2CaWvjUG
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO0sxSGkZi
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5pjz7KiFA
And even friends.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n353nZ0HP
Izuku: “Fight!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVLxOaYzGB
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!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwz5PqCGhL
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0ayj6Dofq
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rkirPDvJW
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.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCzxDqKbOU
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVsiWsCy26
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XyxWPa997
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OWfBKlW6v
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCv174Ow8Q
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia8za9m5N9
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7navNjQZme
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrgPujxdwK
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb8cCVFvvX
Sabrina: “Lock.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKFz98CdzU
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM2SM54xA7
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0IL3Kw9od
Kirishima: “Tae!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcK9cRl09g
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz51THKjx4
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfMSjgYhcZ
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vqDk3N9mv
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzNIb3k7MW
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvklPbr8cR
Sabrina: “Lock!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9KRDbAl7S
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68a3Rn2VEB
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN13w11KzY
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeN6fmCHjo
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NMTHh7fEL
Sabrina: “I know.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDnptJsBxT
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdK35TEL8x
Kiri charges the new opponent.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqySsy8vfd
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyYdREprWM
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovoebGP0sE
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWObAliQs7G
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZasKotEhH8
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sPmix9TKF
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhvciPQRq3
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzU7fp6C13
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMAiYeuOH1
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydUReE7XQz
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdEHP6lBnM
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb4AS3At21
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HJeVGfWvb
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlSdmxcYoG
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uXiLGqE73
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtunTYG8oFD
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZjv51mmG6
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv5y5Vhgdv
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVlxXlYDR4
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfrjOF9FSN
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTBtfc8mZp
It was time.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp7ujMsVI6
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjGkwto3LM
Sabrina: “What?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBarbPHoXhW
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh5m6e6UJa
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOiAJqhc64
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR1TvPRlsF
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSFT1JDWBa
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW04mQSYQFO
But she doesn’t give up!
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtTaygviZ7
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLKuV7mRhY
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60KEKro30W
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dSFf8Xtcg
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYosFhtjHG6
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4ioZ3AX3H
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8XGnYdZqo
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2JsDnV8gS
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFNmLBmptC
Her body tenses once more.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxADdOfxRR
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj98i7O7uIS
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8fSpoGzTY
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogOuRW8ezf
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TWJDvBp4g
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbT94xqbpJ
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi3XpOftNT
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx53H2jePVs
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehFREfM5QF
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE3oG0ZiIE
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXaAlRcbuI
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNiXXieFnN
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5clAL6Usy
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPEVhAB2A6
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjRR8EMNYu
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!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfZKUumaT2
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gWkxpHIKR
Neito: “NOOOOOOO!!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2mhPgQIox
Kendo: “Calm down, we did good. All things considered.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YpKoxl4rN
Kaoru: “Yeah, Sabrina did her best. It was a great match.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn2MFz8kIJ
The esper’s two friends nod with approval.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLJS1vixfm
Tatsumaki: “I knew she could do it. She even created a move inspired by me!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddsI079lQp
