Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTApRZ0tymo
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!?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw231sqmDWg
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.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XdV8A0A1V
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSXqwT2ErX
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TgIrbEd5q
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOg0d53ZEB
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrXfVyqN0J
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFmHxQycik
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf28BqxGkT
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVczRuEKFS
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRfiToTP2k
However-
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4vjNcq3lM
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4im1OVf4O
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9QIDDQ65p
Bakugo: “Tch.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiGLSTxS1v
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gm9JDtZDN
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdVRsfKnA6
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7mhgDtmmn
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqUb2bESGl
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnE301sN5w
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFxGKnUTt4
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB3DV6Gp3p
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZAJQTvbQZ
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33mDqXp4RI
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGwW4Q6yXj
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12KgvExStS
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xqdGypoRn
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysFsU2588p
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagp0EA1z1t
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldU5CztwbH
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRGU5cXUlt
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLJSOKIewa
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsg1hrU5Jq
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!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbuoBiihQU
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9U5tKo007
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIPFnZvD8H
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyvb5PKjX4
Midnight: “Say what?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FusGCcbxj
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNIpm9y1fp
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.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvynLa9hZzC
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y6OWorAPN
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaBLHwVNvU
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1koRwEi4x
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!!?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m8WdWljQd
Uraraka: “What!?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJa9kgiWaO
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPJthInyjk
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuLNXzzCwq
Izuku: “I get it.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvbiA2m4rR
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3iZt3sqcc
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU6w4bR8L1
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.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1joLYgKpIb
Uraraka: “Then why?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nZwm9j3aB
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.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlovwsH2EQs
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4Oz1aELcM
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZMu9amyN9
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.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPvvUoDdnH
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmYtjP1Acg
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eGOLaXatp
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayWFhHH0Ki
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBqW7A3P1W
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmlUS8Ckea
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ4eB17rEV
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZD6XscKkY
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ya2uEmub0
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL68VNbQAh
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86VcKTspGT
Mina: “Whoa.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdhDoxHDHO
Momo: “Is she alright?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvItgsFDba
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpQaw7oZ90
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuduE8fc8YN
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqzEYm28Xy
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsGI6JSHjr
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LRHauAUAl
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjbsH8EM1M
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvJBIRBO6d
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsoP5UIPBn
Kiri: “… What?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTErux7tKt1
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.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt06T5tFBOC
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLnSifB66n
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9nH4njRZF
Kiri: “… Because… ”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyBYYUegwE
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMDNPaOgrk
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy7aOXSCMi
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo3ssCsZ58
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnXu6hgHn2
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?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNZCBemFLY
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPrdXL92GT
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPFuaqshZV
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalJItPw4om
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy33vkRu7OR
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.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2GP29m7Dq
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JviDXpSQT
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuroOXvXLL
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWr2vs1Jc6
She collapses to her knees.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRbM11xhG9
Izuku: “Kiri?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3rR9uLrAG
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uWHCbpVQG
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nM3CrQymh
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.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLXgQbxYwx
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPcXcedX32
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bRxoJ2BRx
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswMGq43gfm
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMHbY7BsZ9
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!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYzdhoEA6C
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DkvMmRLTX
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.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIZjKrzv6j
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLDTxpFOR0
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRM16mTKyW
And even friends.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETStDrbrNq
Izuku: “Fight!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgD44omZ8f
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!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojz11p4lFX
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavlQFWDQJk
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJdphBEU1Y
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.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgGuxc48wm
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rx4LskVpK
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEPDgz57H1
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMmefQLEYr
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzvM7zlmNy
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzgHJuG1K9
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEdcILhRM5
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzmr8SS4h1
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUcNNc6PaM
Sabrina: “Lock.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquvRKVKHAa
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJxvBRPaAI
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpr76LzDWQ
Kirishima: “Tae!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO0pKSn7YE
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sSYODOqNc
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncEprkfRlJ
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15joufMS3i
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCrZs7Ai4A
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphzO5L0Xof
Sabrina: “Lock!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4RKEUJBev
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsEaAu5s3H
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj8V0oL1A3
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX2Pup51mB
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaL8ekNder
Sabrina: “I know.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfQlMG9TH4
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3tY62W7Yq
Kiri charges the new opponent.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt83jUeYbG
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriBMNQgyfT
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvictq4tPG
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYoDthcgoc
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0S7HDsRl6
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhLa5PycUM
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RLIlw9kIL
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxubOHUDbI
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlklFSqdGaB
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd3glcdIYk
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE6vY9We9E
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9vfFwLPuX
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7E24xjUcf
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2IG5dSizu
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaVGHnwuNL
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZaUBJ5ofs
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmBp1qdqec
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgjFu2eJN4
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknKxDtIVB6
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHgv8BxCTE
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLV004YgSE
It was time.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX8hrHf9GT
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzI3x2BC49
Sabrina: “What?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9mYB4wMyr
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcQIgrP0qc
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDxqlzxbcz
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp31ihZLKZ
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pLuMfl0ZE
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG59rAlbfc
But she doesn’t give up!
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA52VVQAbb4
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz6Rmr3nqp
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE7OWzCAHy
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmeMBi6T7v
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKiwcaUql1
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZwIBCX3Vz
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi1MMKOFe0
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRFvcAE8RJ
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5POn7pUXj
Her body tenses once more.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuY1d7db6e
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4npknBiJD
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLwLNpcIPY
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNGARH82HE
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kwzyz1ZNw
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAzRdH7Q8V
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t1aQbnAZ4
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oZRx7APbk
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw9CTsWsOv
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNRmDTbRmu
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoAKcXjwJC
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t6AU2KKAv
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpDGvTvxE0
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZCjddIMkO
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHpY7yoVNW
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!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW98OFkoqe
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNhvhYpymr
Neito: “NOOOOOOO!!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEphdmYYph
Kendo: “Calm down, we did good. All things considered.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWAc7Oj244
Kaoru: “Yeah, Sabrina did her best. It was a great match.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwfotaDQNI
The esper’s two friends nod with approval.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIg0NwZT9P
Tatsumaki: “I knew she could do it. She even created a move inspired by me!”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pHw22rmBt
Fubuki: “… Yeah, that was impressive.”
