Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgOKaKUZrO
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!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAKk8EzGSA
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloUuPJjQgo
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN1XbiqrfS
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5NR6tz3nO
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9lkGgwCmw
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z0BZDdCMQ
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB09hn833F8
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7L7W3DwKZ
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcCJJFuh95
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW5xtZSLHS
However-
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n9tyqO64B
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamBH8Lh0l4
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBRQ767GSJ
Bakugo: “Tch.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzRyhi6Oyg
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwn9Mg1Jzx
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEz5KLLmgJ
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK9xd9qD5r
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao6vP8B9PD
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStVfGyXPNn
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqVAytliGQ
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbegZb07XI4
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN7JvIV0eY
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPtnc2AmEp
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftbcSWKIP6
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk2SIXqITY
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8XfxSIJAE
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNPmB5PybT
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQOO2rt7CM
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy5wRjd7Df
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5R1Vmw842
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlrTPUm3rV
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcejjiZ9mRd
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!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRFTtFlLsH
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fgR8tksqp
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqo6xeBPfi
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzNoFLToYo
Midnight: “Say what?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZEcqapP84
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxnI6Kvv4c
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ57gHCmAue
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdQA8GT2UK
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrotBmIXYY
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprWnSUWXti
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!!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ076DIAH6M4
Uraraka: “What!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKMSqGqu3X
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKPGylRtk2
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtPg3KkY3d
Izuku: “I get it.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWk717kzBK
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHS0VMAuHp
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxzgm0JXr9
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD35EjvDQa
Uraraka: “Then why?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiZUfhDKKN
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R7Ol4gQ39
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy86BRorRj0
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9aQj1WEir
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA10l3EcRk
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg2Antg72c
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLc5rbIqs6
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yiAlwaCgw
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Z986TAds
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AqnEURRoV
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyuF17o9rR
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ALFsqAOa8
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf8ZB3QlzE
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseei8yhjFK
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1c3qVIVDk
Mina: “Whoa.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHccTGQpkeM
Momo: “Is she alright?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyGgoyeQ6z
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLyIEwWSAJ
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQQQDxLlv4
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwOZzxbsck
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wEg01YZhN
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG9G7dFg27
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8D1kKflVA
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMR7pf3X8o
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1sV2wKNDG
Kiri: “… What?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmI8dsFRzx
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjNiTraO37
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJL8CvF2nl
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoHNuCkN8e
Kiri: “… Because… ”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kM8HOzCKi
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkUXwTltQf
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U2Dv1lc45
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtWSMPbUtc
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm7KUli1kQ
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?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bIxUVvvB6
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf9i6Tdg9x
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDDWLY6qH9
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5dBitK9Ij
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGloYLvc1e4
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH17E1NVs0z
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ7QF7XwwF
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxwhDY5HE1
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPJI7bxd5h
She collapses to her knees.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAMWIh4bwD
Izuku: “Kiri?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEvjPy4E4Q
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqHJjpZYNr
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf06zYV1Bp7
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47Qbdutahg
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9p7lfqXJ0
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb784owT3wA
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gMl7wYswA
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFt8WzGsW3
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!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6LCle7IwC
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F2U2Eq9TX
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2XvUdD21l
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GRI84d1rz
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FOQCHds8A
And even friends.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNf2S97NOp
Izuku: “Fight!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFzjJQCdZ9
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!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwIGkSdIo7
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc25GCro78
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwgql7KR82
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.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvOcbXpgwM
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPSfPo2hdp
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84F5CL6ShD
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVepVfw1fAt
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnf2ESA9OO
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4npCot6N3
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mauPCwMPf
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZV6XeHRaV
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMEXebEqpg
Sabrina: “Lock.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj2JimevAf
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvsfOiu45W
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRprYBdcHH
Kirishima: “Tae!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90BPJ8bByN
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2jZul9HrL
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSAZd9bWEf
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v68ZviLS1
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3qdNg82x7
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJC0z96Ik3
Sabrina: “Lock!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0FAs7KVRF
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUcF0kyhUR
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE77xHNZXCv
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4FCJEZO3u
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18XdjQdodR
Sabrina: “I know.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy2DSlcIrG
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuPhJYdf12
Kiri charges the new opponent.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ4CcAMn7Q
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdlmKueDqS
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5UkcIiUpc
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1UTMl4iq8
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtsaPqMVF7
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXTs4nyAcZ
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAIhLj3lqZ
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSxRIX3GaS
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNci9mF7Hl
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStRvxcZ4Mk
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1q2RT9SsX
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiYRBwL5kM
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TbH6Kj9hW
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgyp7EASUZ
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4VoSmc66C
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5ZSRU9fCM
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTYAaYA7kT
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2JwTaM7PZ
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV1jcudmmH
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpnHkHbFHN
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrKwAD0bGm
It was time.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV405L6uXz
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2OXDyc4Fq
Sabrina: “What?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oISAk5xWy
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUX0ivatZu
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdEdsaau8R
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUHYZbun5I
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPwaonL0KJ
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn4feBqPs1
But she doesn’t give up!
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9qzHRwZey
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8ebYKwOzL
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozWnCteQ3n
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJG5deWDMS
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ626fJAoV7b
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4GFpMkkPi
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvjjE5Y309
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4tSZYcOZj
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DM9LdD0bs
Her body tenses once more.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMAfPccyg3
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXgCDK7LoH
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTQZXvU0Rw
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIF2UJ4fG0
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY1dtuBhIf
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLc4SItVBc
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHhXL15xg6
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTljld9Bdj
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJUrJkh0g9
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZCp8do4no
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69wGAkoMuQ
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBQ0f6KmJL
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6T8rGbVcX
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqzvak5Q0B
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC6ZlcgRC0
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!”
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ5C7RU2Lo
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
