Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eR9RPsnqr
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!?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGD4cnU1Iu
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.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCrdIt2RHa
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5fnKr0j5E
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQnv5qAbVh
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3YOpIwcOg
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhA5DkgJTf
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFtGDvkdCP
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM9C6ZByRu
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqbwDCDIgD
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpPMO2eMb4
However-
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8pcq9rd3S
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoYPOGz18a
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJtzOttoGP
Bakugo: “Tch.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtitb3LkHA
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRTGkjooYg
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuiNu2nCiN
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqXMhzmyAu
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BJ5JHe2aQ
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavC2Zf7jqL
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtGCbNpFUd
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLoXj78BIN
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCObHYYrBnZ
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WfrTy6T8I
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2wVnkk4lX
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT1OqWQYbc
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHz9VegkFQ
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32UqUFQrEN
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyvnYBM5bd
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA6Amo23ot
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1cpTJR9Ul
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbASzqlwGr
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq51fr8pohT
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!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uPGXgubVt
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc8cAwZut5
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzWSHyouBM
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdHXgEr1wS
Midnight: “Say what?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZYoR9i5mQ
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGA5G4Bp8i
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.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPqoduxAt2
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDXXx092Bp
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg77ATAXLub
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC4RGWq1KN
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!!?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqDWD2KijF
Uraraka: “What!?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJzkvUBt5l
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoGlYd7QbI
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyntHeuZxLZ
Izuku: “I get it.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfumvwdeTy
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVlRMIL0So
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzLaeCpVr9
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.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYg7LxAoKO
Uraraka: “Then why?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TyX9QYzMr
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.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw5IP4DPN9
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaHQQkV6r4
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSoBkNgWNm
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.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUPqOsTkVC
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOEX1B4Hdo
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGmVdIs1le
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxL2M8aMcp
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysTCc4EHWH
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSvvZOjuOx
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdPePf2NQf
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdHQfoPdsg
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ4yQ4mYKi
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq2S5g5cnW
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs221LNUe4
Mina: “Whoa.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbYIPVT9X0
Momo: “Is she alright?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5GAj1lHkN
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9jNRaLfxc
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEfqESHdYU
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXfIwVs9hD
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSg5SC3txS
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeHKO5icyf
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCLqM4PQYv
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOEHw3j0mv
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsokIWGtdyD
Kiri: “… What?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxDZJ8PY5m
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.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhXRvxt0z5
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmWEuBtTbs
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVliIq0XMl
Kiri: “… Because… ”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKUdTMKoyx
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PE5GrWbpB
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJMbB8VdqC
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA7Zt2em9n
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxW2VZePpE
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?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaZopNHN44
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nZbb6Wigh
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6yH16PcW5
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokB9ysk6ef
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaILiQ1Fo2
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.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVMDy5WnqP
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgnmxsZz5I
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFLsghCAwo
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQWGskdcgS
She collapses to her knees.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWXsA5c5sP
Izuku: “Kiri?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5evmOZfu8V
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyLMkgks2o
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxXM2bDFoV
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.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiguTdBZHl
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58djq8SOyi
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly9ZGRVeou
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKlCYHfKZg
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjajTilKaf
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!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETTwiCiJUl
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvzL8bVBrV
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.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qiuc48Otb
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVIQYcZJFC
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLApJZADpJ
And even friends.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0scsHOBBk5
Izuku: “Fight!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg7z1bOhAq
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!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhCeZFKj0i
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7DNJydreX
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0rMgvx1nJ
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.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIBTnLEXe9
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0ykWBSnp1
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUwjT85He4
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6nPARBvOJ
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7wLS8gyVB
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvyT1sLbpf
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZryqObbIYQ
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHo9a2Erih
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr0QPx8EHv
Sabrina: “Lock.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8b8T5ZdYQ
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAeJNcvCaV
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP5oKr8MgP
Kirishima: “Tae!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZfLk5pYXB
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCXnuDpKpB
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoXR2soo0z
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOY5zcK8Ao
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsTFvH7k6s
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1inPwgoUCI
Sabrina: “Lock!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyqHMd50sR
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDb7S0RFKq
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxOYW0FjWW
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0MJRrrRPG
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7Hzceq8ec
Sabrina: “I know.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS8QiRWB9l
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4yoA90Dq8
Kiri charges the new opponent.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRXbg5LRhU
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmsxCHEyZV
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERinZ1esbT
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYgKJ5mmJF
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrcQi188Xb
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagX4FLz22M
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQubBSjL8N
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5sErlOlL6
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjxFOuPAJ6
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1e4O9slAy
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNFh8KAvca
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6px23kNY2
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhOCZhZez8
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLciagx02e
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxmmkCRwep
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56RLa3NE2m
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qxBFBAjuu
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLPlxHVnl7
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknBxJXUiPg
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jgOcvPMmQ
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCz5Iu47Dy
It was time.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7oCahKLKL
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bKv08AHl0
Sabrina: “What?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEYmvoJKEo
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVllBJImOO3
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlPkNtm9wX
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpDndUo7rt
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6jcrjfHfD
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEayxxdyl8
But she doesn’t give up!
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy45Ano4LGb
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MkWLgxeci
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh31N6QWUcF
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBT0s8n0lH
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kHZQxIeR5
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45Z3nlBL4A
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg86r4iKPV8
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUijTPkuLY
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv2fa6qeHb
Her body tenses once more.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyObrVZ085
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH70mXqAFy
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnyP8mMarR
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0QmnW9wgD
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjyEFQBET1
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCRfFqJks6
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZKAW1zxXm
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQnHTYVxhQ
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b6YtlpfbR
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvQP6WhiBS
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSohquHr74
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8mCTQBhXH
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ5Y81ea89
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.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8hoeZFCf6
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEenzQW8Eq
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!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuE18xyZv8
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooSFo6tLkK
Neito: “NOOOOOOO!!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYKvXvbhT8
Kendo: “Calm down, we did good. All things considered.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqFoLgTYpf
Kaoru: “Yeah, Sabrina did her best. It was a great match.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy3looQRZN
The esper’s two friends nod with approval.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ClXDwIzCg
Tatsumaki: “I knew she could do it. She even created a move inspired by me!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcuGe4CHRM
Fubuki: “… Yeah, that was impressive.”
