Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqP967fdkv
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!?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn6xjvzzi6
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.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLxuVuO5Jq
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfGYyN3wAd
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdf7lNeY9y
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFBdCazm72
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhs9zlnfWA
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTjRyW5i8g
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW1ITIxivl
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TvrH0haZg
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s65Ngdndk
However-
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nMd32YrQx
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeamALw7ln
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28AOSjWF44
Bakugo: “Tch.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnqVBl5RX7
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D56K8UUQ4
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBmRET79vu
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsRtNYGIaU
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmCZHGV2Pr
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojbmP5wWh4
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb4aGgFA3v
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsakd0cFxR
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwv49NmgqP
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkinoigSe9d
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzfYwXKj1O
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiEdhbOFPF
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AH9xLrIk2
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1TNoQpCbc
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKiDSFw4Bu
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIhoWkwsUq
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoRYcR8cl0
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbkJscgF4A
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp461XhCnDD
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!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnnoWBNOYY
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw3gXwgk65
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaraIH3doKp
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoPDivjRFE
Midnight: “Say what?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIRNt0GwBF
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBwLKjUj00
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.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7joJwGGoX7
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZVBjzLqkz
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoEawnIxgI
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEXIC584xW
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!!?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93N36OJsD8
Uraraka: “What!?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CMvEb1uzO
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH14j1Lg7ys
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz0RXR7bGV
Izuku: “I get it.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9x9PPFQsc
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYAI4dVNa8
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WLNu6mzuX
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.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9zdyU90E3
Uraraka: “Then why?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmRwLX21bJ
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.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaqjfnDjaW
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIUp1qpM69
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4S1StScjL
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.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpJOB6qNDJ
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDRsKTt47G
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6Zo3Qvb2B
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv1VGG0x0Y
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKStVKUBKYd
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGt9ReeFEM
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaXMEmwZGF
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZFdzyyNIy
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgP4Nf3tbF
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY608gI8Wh
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAlwO0WA8H
Mina: “Whoa.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9NgLyKCE4
Momo: “Is she alright?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cS9tHZzXl
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RMU7tA6Qm
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RNZYRKpFi
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZmQBvzZCF
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIC7QX3HHC
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNd1Y7aWVk
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrmrH8CpSG
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJtyLuAC3U
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xlNEaLkgU
Kiri: “… What?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkMtX2qXmV
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.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2qJDLEhPq
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjJFi6RW09
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY9EoGnnzF
Kiri: “… Because… ”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7RYoJPeVI
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmdhxI4fuP
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBajfEf1zw
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VBi9okFWf
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjfknW9b8u
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?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xela8Joxj
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsDG9YK77r
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXr0F6XAgw
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZjpNKrsxT
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC4D3VvUFb
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.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4zUajM2BA
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIBJN29lnY
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yl4VI2blo
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qTCTMPaSJ
She collapses to her knees.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRO5wwZzcY
Izuku: “Kiri?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gnsmBbJst
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVVhE9Wy9o
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfORjrPl9N
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.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15AM6c4wv7
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoaUqppkeh
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgoVeBFQYh
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATCKq6brlB
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdhE6lQsGK
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!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4G61GnF9G
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYJwimfJey
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.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS3KSfijpQ
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzOjkAhr3j
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1vFwEje6Z
And even friends.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE9hFHD97g
Izuku: “Fight!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAVrdwMX9A
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!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sllJEZAmu
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLImu88t6Xj
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhcI7GMXUV
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.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH796mr0RKp
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKQXqTnDhm
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZhg0tBYAy
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTapW90xQS
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi2Us6IdOr
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZebpxj3Coq
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfER0OrKt2
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl6YXSuvwB
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF9QLzgQ2A
Sabrina: “Lock.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxcPwW4wEw
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8abedIdKj
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40t8wh7TBN
Kirishima: “Tae!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalMtwrwKab
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IAlqc80O8
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT96A2i4ygG
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5xKROsM5V
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJKL9F6BW0
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqrjZDHpUq
Sabrina: “Lock!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nVDbYKDJl
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuIv82Cnl6
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBqw8zaI5o
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0fcXj5lpc
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XoGEaXtoY
Sabrina: “I know.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvO0rphYah
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOfMzy42NE
Kiri charges the new opponent.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NIuwTvZ9J
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusD8jd5XXd
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTpHBAqzRy
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyvBkvXDE6
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKQJD71f1p
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKVTCd0Fb4
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSVEvoWS2f
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI2NtAh80e
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoEy0lXObV
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxLggYFMeT
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMe9eZgL8n
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxGcWL9tBa
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WmF2JfemN
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7JpEfcsyN
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vi972fKtO
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJbJ3K6JUE
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6fTQtIPvY
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rWC1Oblea
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSZIdgAzeR
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLORlxsXmJ
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMwVgu3bMW
It was time.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYKoLfO1F7
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrDiudgj6l
Sabrina: “What?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibi38NMMTL
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaBHrnqLLA
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuvMuOz087
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy9th6YjXe
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxNp8vHuGb
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF7Vq08T4K
But she doesn’t give up!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxc1L5yh4L
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBwAzThvJI
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fcbc3VOge
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9ItWprail
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnSzSZ1Fow
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvwpn5eiiH
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlYtK4kRJV
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7El9r2XL9
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpclKouVs2
Her body tenses once more.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBOsNxltBp
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ26f003ow
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GYh7UMWjT
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzxRLIk3j9
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglORrTqI5t
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIoadNWlbz
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcUgRSlIHz
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXkTuP2eK0
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IPxkltuHZ
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhU6WEwqy5
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTtTPA4o5N
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mSbMcmykL
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhilOcfpJl
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD8zshYbT5
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiM1DzuMjh
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!”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvr3A54NXG
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaXztuMSGK
