Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI7x1y3nCS
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!?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRCFMsoG5y
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.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzYZzAq5Zp
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8shLGKavWW
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4mKcTbVvk
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTunYAcab1
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSzR6bNNph
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyO3czelS0
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEBIvStVhE
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tcaNuw36S
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWCkK7m02O
However-
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCgSjIAAym
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRa7r2AVLu
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgCsT3aNsl
Bakugo: “Tch.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWoqHFRjCE
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQru97EIFh
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyu32n8B3k
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK3c5L6x1j
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslrQgJzj6a
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8KWAOXOZr
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg2YMFhm1u
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcHG8VM5vp
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61KTHLNe1h
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyplldHIAt
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5JXrvXRgr
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRBkI6GCw7
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreKQFQRHM5
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog5MlFTij8
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Qcz5kQWy
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHvXw8qDDO
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrWzAWk5sf
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8hwk2ruBH
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpGSWWv8Bm
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!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRh1VgEm2o
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ357RqrMzLp
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAahH6OG2OR
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYhQDQN6eQ
Midnight: “Say what?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdJcKLQcS6
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXlxnYqLF4
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.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWmyQGEEHj
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGYNLB2c54
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLFVA3paDM
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGQnXbeJ7m
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!!?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFDuw7Gfxu
Uraraka: “What!?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj4ndlknYq
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VXFyf8pnL
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsPKMoJI0H
Izuku: “I get it.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyGVCmXttv
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFyKg1XW3M
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4toohyeOc
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.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOtnb9Kx92
Uraraka: “Then why?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h2BA2msNY
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.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJgJun7Mm2
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8dF7J2RUW
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpifR9zdFW
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.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5q5UkqCv6
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczHb0e8mA4
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkFdTyQYVl
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpl8s7jNBF
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuw1PvOuc0
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8Q9hQCuWg
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECTWVccZhx
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hTKr0xLSE
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyQTowa864
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAGBQ26ZXg
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaaZLoQ81b
Mina: “Whoa.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VCi9hlqNg
Momo: “Is she alright?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeSXPXzjjg
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtPMDtfjra
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURlBjdhyYV
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtStjBbZTRL
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrkfymPEWE
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEilBVjM0MB
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA0CpGPcY0
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwYH2TpzfX
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfi3Jh7Shr
Kiri: “… What?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxJ6pT94AO
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.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt85CxVL9N
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcQwJsbvb7
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLqgTuUTSt
Kiri: “… Because… ”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYCBsC3SBB
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzNBnAwj2s
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t1CzutqnA
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCQIi7sjFz
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDyxFIx4mD
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?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cOJ6fXuJ0
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlE5MZCyRs
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuN8v8xcld
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5BpkZ4t8F
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi6Y1XoNU1
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.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ35yzShav
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjZOoAJRft
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3OvAPE01x
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sr7dBJLXO
She collapses to her knees.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKg455aUqx
Izuku: “Kiri?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvBSrtbgh9
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpDcY5lAFP
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC21Pd30ss
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.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mfQVoZLlX
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqolLILGSb
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJh32GEmGF
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGm9o5hPjN
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPwE9vgAeX
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!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e7ZXJGAZk
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjnSzjGhC1
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.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs5qc0kgUa
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zk8oRh8m7
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkgnj5RUSR
And even friends.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoGEABX6yA
Izuku: “Fight!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5WJGhicyY
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!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6pz6Auw5W
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjamqjsPPQH
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80ymXpFcHx
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.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCTfyQA9ec
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGmS6az7Kp
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB8R7SDJFj
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l2OMFxgsB
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETUXzjuva3
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBj0tMZHEd
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH7MJ5hoys
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RERtgD5Jj
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgoW69aEQ3
Sabrina: “Lock.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgs8ngHHU5
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvASYlU5ce
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHu4PGLCDY
Kirishima: “Tae!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLnNCIcqpa
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ551sSxYJas
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypuNHp1l9J
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEVxuvjQcf
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OWHi1Edt3
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuwXh8NqxE
Sabrina: “Lock!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqoaEkvBE7
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX4iafjQJ7
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbsucSIeyg
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ii86ZtMDA
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BoSDpO187
Sabrina: “I know.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnX81Rx6jI
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqWUIg4Abn
Kiri charges the new opponent.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBtaHC2Cro
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROg64JWNAo
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0glSLIiuCt
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYSE4ls81l
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J2ceyaBeY
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1mJd9iuDk
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXUM2gbUsF
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkcXNEzngM
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqNUnvANAL
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5yx0LNl6j
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4isKiUyOki
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb9pNCcSlk
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclIECm8O60
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQLFU0pmNA
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiXzmSYMYb
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeq6jC7T07
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrghoCJHzKp
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOr3YM2lJs
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjABNfvD7c
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrD2v8aD9m
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuUsCj1bdk
It was time.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHBfBOtIci
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLtKMs0YUt
Sabrina: “What?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAEynmsWtv
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpQ9Jvkhjz
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nWmmlMoKz
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlvUpFyr4y
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Tm2Kq37b
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngsAZl1zNC
But she doesn’t give up!
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa95RIgjpO
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bWeIiT9Ic
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96YEIDOzhW
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVDUfwS0Kb
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BUKMG0ZUL
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLYSwhWsa4
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrC1pMpg4Y
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanx57Fg4rd
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkETkP69lRo
Her body tenses once more.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby6OWlFqzW
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY58CZACDBg
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mW5kgWSEV
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotWmodxmZt
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mzIhifJAZ
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh21gnejLlT
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzW9ugyUse
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctpiuBBPY4
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmSRtTGBXo
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cZmdmJzyL
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpoB4h28rj
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyKwhhuFck
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNcRrFtHME
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAWRbzQNvZ
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3cpf9hUmI
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!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl0DL29PqV
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtK4dsj3Kx
Neito: “NOOOOOOO!!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLbXdIlwiu
Kendo: “Calm down, we did good. All things considered.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCTIZkivjY
Kaoru: “Yeah, Sabrina did her best. It was a great match.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qylZc5jGR
The esper’s two friends nod with approval.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR455mbKdM
Tatsumaki: “I knew she could do it. She even created a move inspired by me!”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7QP0TPvzF
Fubuki: “… Yeah, that was impressive.”
