She could feel it festering within her onee. Complex feelings that demanded release. Kiri wanted to help but didn’t really know how.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmT39R6hzj
The only thought that came to mind was to help Fubuki air those feelings out. So she stated the little she could grasp from the emotions leaking out, hoping for some reaction.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNIJovVXUI
She didn’t expect it to be violent though, but Kiri can handle it. At least, she thought she could.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfWOFDI5IO
Fubuki: “Freeze!”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw2xMwN3Ac
Instantly, Kiri’s body locked up on the spot. Unlike Sabrina’s lock, this attacks the mind, something Kiri has no defense against. So she couldn’t properly resist being rag-dolled across the surprisingly durable room.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjJtM6hDoH
Despite this, Kiri only felt… proud.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFOwVi3rBK
Even she, upsetting though it may be, was worried about Fubuki. She can tell that she felt far behind Tatsu. Izu would get stronger over time, and as he does, so would Kiri.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK6suBcXuA
So where did that leave Fubuki?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3NMrMs3N8
Well, if this was any indication, closer to them than she may think.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfgo0Mq45c
But how to show that to her onee?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eAZSHpEdc
Kiri: ‘All out. If she defeats me, then she’ll know.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JFvqGmRbA
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXW8kCbPHg
For a moment, Fubuki thought she might be able to win. Kiri surprisingly had little defense against mental attacks. But that thought was killed when her command wore off.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgGiFOYFzJ
Kiri quickly broke out of the psychic hold rag-dolling her but didn’t do anything afterward besides landing on her feet.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvuWF8kCMz
It was then when the battlefield grew tense as Kiri grew to her full height and power, her Valkyrie form.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcwpMUovcv
Fubuki’s eyes widen as fear begins to creep into her mind.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpQNMfnfVu
Fubuki: “S-So, you’re showing your true colors now?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEHuh6PRgI
Kiri: “Onee, I’m not trying to take your place.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgpecR9kBq
Fubuki: “… But you are.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S7uE9hnuW
Fubuki: ‘And if I lose… it will be final.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GDCYWV2Q5
The woman knows how strong Kiri is in this form. Unlike her, she didn’t struggle much against several waves of those quirk beasts. So the chances of winning this were slim.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aP167VJyy
Even so, Fubuki had to try. So she-
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrfF2vOLtz
No time!
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7RIXgIaOW
Kiri dashed forward and delivered a blow that immediately broke Fubuki’s shield and sent her slamming against the wall. Before she hit the ground, she delivered another command.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTd3xbOEb6
Fubuki: “F-Freeze!”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HfllhxWWa
Again, Kiri is frozen in place, but Fubuki didn’t capitalize. She had to collect herself first.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisVJhzcMq2
Fubuki: ‘Just one punch and I was almost-’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLemyqNXXJ
Swallowing bile and despair, Fubuki turned all of her attention to the fight. Nothing less will suffice.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXiAvQLftb
Summoning a storm of needles, Fubuki launched them at the stunned Kiri. But the command wore off in time for her to dodge out of the way, mostly anyway.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxejQ33xsR
The psychic power sharpened to a needle point was enough to bypass the passive shield Kiri has. Still, the needles weren’t fast enough to catch Kiri in this form. She ducked and weaved through the razor gale and dashed to Fubuki again.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW0shkoNeh
But unlike last time, Fubuki’s image shattered like glass from the blow.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXeg7G0IWe
Kiri: “Illusion?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBOLFBbAjT
Turning around, she notices several Fubukis. Each one held up their right hand, summoning a roaring storm of needles.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPG77c6ESR
Kiri: “See? Strong.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWodaXn2ypz
Fubuki: “Don’t patronize me!”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSElqRghu7
The storm was unleashed, and Kiri had no choice but to evade. But there were far too many, and she didn’t know which were fake or not. So more cuts began to litter Kiri’s form as pain bit into her mind.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAL6xnOQWO
It wasn’t as painful as what Sabrina did to her, but it’s a constant sting that dulled Kiri’s abilities.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3dYLGz4c2
Fubuki: “Stop it, Kiri.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwlZ1YSmci
The storm stalls as Fubuki’s frustration builds.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDAeJe0Q3c
Kiri: “Onee?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CSw5Sk0we
Fubuki: “Stop holding back! I shouldn’t be winning this easy. Do you think I’ll be happy if you let me win?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxS4ONE9ow
Kiri: “N-No!”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaocHHOZX9
Fubuki: “You turn into that form just for show? Am I… that weak that you feel the need to do that?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4sIo9LlJA
Of course she was. Fubuki failed her group, failed Izu, her big sister, and even Kiri. Despite everything, she has come to care for the girl.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3O6B4rl3z
But clearly, she didn’t need protecting. She… didn’t need her. None of them did. She only got in the way, as proven by words of the past.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAGb6oxdxB
Tatsumaki: “What are you doing here!? Focus on evacuating if you can’t handle it, or better yet, you should have stayed with our brother. Where it’s safe!”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6D4vjCYw1
Fubuki: ‘But he doesn’t need me. He has Kiri, and maybe even that Yaoyorozu girl.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s66rUQsG3
The woman looks at the bleeding Kiri and remembers how her big sister bonded with her so quickly. The way Tatsu treats Kiri reminds Fubuki of days long past, a time she can no longer return to.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBIdlzHLp8
Fubuki: ‘Do you even want me anymore… big sis?’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8lyqP5US1
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡersNBOe9go
This was bad, really bad.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxRpE375R8
The dark pit within Fubuki was only getting worse.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wCs7hALzQ
Kiri: ‘How?’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgj7qFMVEE
The girl was actually trying in this fight. Those needles hurt, and anytime she gets close to one of the illusions, she knows she’ll get mentally stunned.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1vjb2OZB4
If anything, Fubuki is the one holding back. Kiri knew Fubuki had powerful mental abilities. But to do illusions alongside mental commands is beyond impressive. Based on what Izuku told her, Fubuki should also be able to read her mind or throw off her game with mental probes.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvRfx8RGv9
This was comparable to Izuku’s current level of power in terms of mental prowess, if not slightly better.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUqVZ8IZeh
Kiri: ‘So why?’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9bhoA4ALk
Why was the woman spiraling with such negativity?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSBoHdLjl7
Kiri doesn’t know, but losing here won’t help. So she digs deep, searching for any way to regain an advantage.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E7LHb80CX
The biggest problem is the needles, pain, and mental commands. Nothing can be done about the last one, but the second one…
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u4d6WNoN0
Kiri: ‘Why… do I feel pain? Why am I bleeding?’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpVhFpijXG
It hit her like lightning. She has come a long way from being a simple mental construct. But that doesn’t change what she is.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI0GqjNEpx
So why is she bleeding? She has no flesh or blood. Why is she feeling pain?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVU5lOkPk2
The answer is simple: because she thought she had to. It’s to fit in better with everyone.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfe2lIFyv9
It’s the same with sleeping, breathing, and eating.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzLHqYI8RU
Kiri looks around to see the floor spotless. The blood that falls from her isn’t real. The wounds and damage are, but not the byproducts of it.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfivfeDu7U
Kiri: ‘I see…’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVAl0HWs70
So the only way to help her onee is to become that machine again. If only for a little while. If that’s what it takes, then it’s worth it. She knows Fubuki can win.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5NUnldG6k
Kiri: ‘I’m not human.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2tPdcv5yn
So she breathes out the last gasp of air needed for this fight and focuses on the truth of her being.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjwehCiUOB
Kiri: ‘New objective… defeat Fubuki at her best.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxSDwpeB7v
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xHrDJoTgK
Danger!
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkbgccNHyG
It tingles Fubuki’s back as she refocuses on the now deathly serious Kiri.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj1GTqcpwv
Fubuki: ‘I knew it… ’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMSuUcvBcJ
Kiri dashes to an illusion and shatters it.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ9vJOZ7Tz
Fubuki: “Freeze!”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSZ1cwGPq1
And so Kiri does, free to be consumed by needles. But something is different. Kiri is no longer bleeding. Sure, cuts still emerge on her skin, but the girl doesn’t seem bothered by them anymore.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPOdDldm1d
The truth became clear when the command wore off and Kiri instantly destroyed another illusion with a kick.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZu4akfjSe
It was only a matter of time. Fubuki would lose.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ArI3HDoKa
Using air or rubble to attack was out of the question. Kiri would ignore or punch it away. Mental attacks still work, but what could Fubuki do with those but delay the inevitable?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9IoUglCKF
So she could do nothing but watch as Kiri tore through every lie on the battlefield. Soon it was her turn; Fubuki’s shield shattered once more as she was thrown back against the wall. Fubuki fell to her knees in time to see a fist inches from her face.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARXn0EMOkI
She lost, as she knew she would.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9YVm70ZOl
Fubuki’s head fell low as her eyes turned a darker shade.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVau4sT7lt5
Fubuki: ‘After what I did to the Blizzard Group and constant failures … this is what I deserve. I’m… weak. Someone like that can’t protect her family… can’t stand beside them. And if I can’t do that, what kind of big sister am I? It… would be better for me to just lea-’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8uo5CdV9s
Kiri: “Stop it.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNE2MWlRYm
Her head shoots up to look up at Kiri. Her eyes are still just as intense and cold, but within is still a heart that beats warm for her family.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnAvIVvcg6
Fubuki: “W-What?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xuAqSjube
Kiri: “Stop holding back. You told me to stop, and I did. Now it’s your turn.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzftg82wgPh
Fubuki: “I-I am not holding back! This… is all I am.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVdKfNGJAp
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplxnbll24t
Before Fubuki could finally shatter from those words, Kiri continued.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qjBcbaLyF
Kiri: “This is all you are if you give up on yourself.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNMbRIQRJI
She removes her fist from Fubuki’s face and takes a few steps back.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCqIZVbTeR
Kiri: “Don’t worry about anything else. Fight me with all you have. You’re not weak; you’re stronger than you believe.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEWmD0Aq1N
Fubuki wants to believe her, but what more can she do? She tried every-
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyrvCXDKA3
Fubuki: ‘No… I haven’t tried everything. And then there’s that breakthrough I’ve been trying to reach… ’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS50DN2Jra8
But what if it’s not enough?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnenBV6sMk
What if she doesn’t break through?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpIayLD8RU
What if she messes up again?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUQLmQwxwr
Fubuki: ‘Stop… just… focus on the fight. Kiri deserves that much for trying to help.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXRR0LAkB8
The result is determined, but the journey to it isn’t. So, Fubuki stands and places all her focus on Kiri.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf9MmLior7
Kiri: “All in?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0ZYDwNTxR
Fubuki: “… Yes.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXusqYv9Qp
The last favor from a big sister that refuses to remain a burden on her family.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODLuL7OYiq
Seeing Fubuki’s determination, Kiri didn’t waste time in destroying the newly created illusion.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsAC3XAABm
But this time Fubuki was using more than just illusions of herself. It was time to put her creativity to the test.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGg8F71ojw
Fubuki: “Reverse.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vaiMXyP0u
A mental command explodes in Kiri’s mind, causing her to trip over her own limbs. Right becomes left, up becomes down.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee3J2nS5CN
Fubuki: “Freeze.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclEy7srHYn
Fallen and unable to get up, Kiri could do nothing as razor needles hammered at her location. But Fubuki knows it won’t do anything.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWsTYRl5QV
Still, she continues and goes through her whole arsenal.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4Z5W5fAvB
Fubuki: “Ravaging Spires.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTdle3hSLF
Three whirls of cold air burst into existence around Kiri before converging on her. When they do, they merge into one large whirlwind.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdZLT1ihQt
Fubuki: “Savage Tower!”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHe0h8pm7g
Taking to air, Fubuki avoids the explosion of air that destroys the whirlwind. Damaged but still kicking, Kiri punches out several air cannons. Thanks to being airborne, Fubuki could dodge the assault.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8pglIexXE
What she couldn’t dodge was the rocket Kiri that slammed into her, taking her back to earth.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBFUmirP6v
Fubuki: ‘Ugh! N-No!’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJZawjjbFv
Being grabbed by Kiri was an instant loss. She should just give up. But she hasn’t tried everything yet. She can’t let it end like this.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWncoaO3WjI
So she grabbed Kiri’s face and willed an image into her brain. It was cruel, but it was the only way.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ew0JrumR
Kiri: “Onee!”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG1SV2vD7J
Shocked by what she saw, Kiri let her go and paled. This gave Fubuki enough time to push Kiri off with gale-force winds and convince Kiri’s mind that she was invisible.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFenRbO7Ht1
Understanding the situation, Kiri let out a trembling sigh.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxEkUcGBJb
Kiri: “N-Not okay.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ1DCjXNa6
She says while looking around for where Fubuki may have gone.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboFvm1IkVZ
Fubuki: “I’m sorry, but you did say to fight with all I had.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUjl1jChf6
Kiri: “But I thought I… hurt you… badly.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSVJE8OWgR
Fubuki: “Despite everything, Kiri, I know you wouldn’t do that even on accident. That’s why I thought you would see through it. Unlike this.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyF2rDGOct
A new cut appeared on Kiri’s body. But there was no sign of the attack. At least from Kiri’s perspective.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUhOJ592ss
But what shocked both of them is that Kiri winced in pain as blood leaked once again.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE69umfFD6
Seeing a chance, Fubuki presses the attack. But Kiri expected this and punched the ground, destroying it and unleashing a smoke cloud.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmdvUmXckq
Quickly, Fubuki blew it away and scanned for Kiri. But she was nowhere to be seen. But Fubuki didn’t need to see her to know where she was. Her mind was a beacon, easily traceable and readable.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiUnBNfLFs
But Kiri doesn’t know that, so Fubuki pretends to search the place.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN5NJnRlNj
Fubuki: “Damn it.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCso7juYd9
As for the younger sister, she’s sticking to the ceiling while drawing in a large volume of air into her fist. The attack won’t compare to the one used in the tournament, but it should be enough to-
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAHb2yzCqz
Fubuki: “There!”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rwoNodVB6
The older sister waited for the perfect time to look up and disrupt the building attack. Detonating it before Kiri could release it causes the ceiling to explode alongside the young sister.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXdknXZgh5
The resulting wind bomb destabilizes Kiri and propels her to the ground. Waiting for her was Fubuki with her palms charged with psychic energy.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwClPq3Qkt
Waiting for the right time, Fubuki thrusts her arms forward, colliding her palms with Kiri’s stomach.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqW5SxCyLa
Kiri: “Ugh.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmXFFmgmWS
The result was Kiri being blasted away, but not before punching an air cannon at Fubuki.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZorhupJ4Yp
Considering it’s wind, she could maybe redirect it or something. But this battle has taken its toll. The best Fubuki could do was block it. But even then, the cannon was strong enough to knock her to the ground.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGbBLGjSyh
It was then that a coughing fit emerged due to the air being knocked right out of her. Fubuki tried to get up, but her strength was fading fast. As for Kiri, she could keep going.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVTtUqiI0l
Her stamina and durability were far above most, especially Fubuki. There was no way the older sister was winning a battle of attrition. Even still, Kiri was noticeably slower. Mental construct or not, the cold air biting into her forced her body to slow.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12Ugq6UcWS
Kiri: “I-Is t-this o-over?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ7QxvvAzB
Fubuki was split. She did more than enough, better than she thought she would, in fact. She could lie down and accept defeat.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWUK2VuFWu
But another part wanted to continue, knew she should continue. That there was more to show, to prove and to reveal.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWhGZWI6D8
That sensation from before returned; a peaceful calm descended onto her mind. Victory was assured; she need only reach out and grasp it, to believe in it.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvxeGvaX9t
Fubuki: ‘I want to believe. I… don’t want to leave them. I… love my family. Please… let there be more to me than just this.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwkeO2r9Dj
So as Kiri makes her way to Fubuki, ready to finish the fight, the older sister simply raises her hand. Not in surrender, but in declaration, one born from deep within.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSk0W098Em
Fubuki: “Ice Age.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8JyHhUOaN
The temperature plummets as the entire room is flash frozen. Snow flutters through the air as Fubuki realizes what she just did.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjmVAwI3ip
Fubuki: “I… did this?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnYD4CS2kC
The sensation from before settles as a new realm of power opens itself to Fubuki. Breathing out a cold puff of air, she looks to Kiri.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9xoMAQhIi
Fubuki: “I… won?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbURe3HNxew
Yes, Kiri was frozen solid. The only way Fubuki could have won. Kiri was too durable to chip away at. If not frozen solid instantly, she could have used tactile telekinesis to break or control the ice.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcfTG81Ken
Regardless of the chance or how lucky she got, it is a fact Fubuki won. Something Kiri was clearly happy about, if her frozen smile was anything to go by.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqcMzAoo0A
Fubuki: “I… can still stand by them. There is still room for growth.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PZaCEmtfL
Feeling a bit more secure in herself, Fubuki drags her body up and places her hand on the ice around Kiri.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaDYpnEq3i
Within a few moments the ice shatters, releasing Kiri. Realizing what happened, Kiri returns to her smaller form and tackles Fubuki, almost knocking her over.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGDHcwIRlJ
Kiri: “Onee, you did it!”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ67dhOzmfS
Fubuki: “I… guess I did.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJiNMsbI96
For once, Fubuki returns the hug and takes in the emotional warmth that Kiri provides.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp1nR87JDQ
Kiri: “You did, and even if you didn’t win, we wouldn’t want you to leave or feel bad. You’re much more to us than just a hero; you’re family. We love you, onee.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU4n62qASK
Fubuki: “… Thank you, Kiri.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAM6VNC7i9
Fubuki: ‘But you all deserve a strong hero. And big sis… I don’t want to disappoint her. Not again. So… I’ll continue to grow.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo90VKX57ol
Kiri: “Oh.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B63409w4A
Fubuki: “What is it?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOdKRCp2aw
The door to the training room, which was blocked by some snow, was blasted open by a green wave of psychic energy.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI3m5fBtrK
Fubuki: “Oh.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6lVMCzRvG
Tatsumaki: “What the hell happened here?!”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPEjY1CeBs
Izuku: “Are you two alright?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5GlyzcKNg
Kiri: “Yes, bonding.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl9vdWuDpz
Izuku and Tatsumaki: “R-Really?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8uTkEH4H4
They say, looking at the destroyed and snow-covered room.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTTpXCLBmO
Fubuki looks to her big sis and little brother before looking down at Kiri. Despite never really warming up to her, Kiri never stopped trying to be close with her.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMRe953sRz
She even fought to prove that Fubuki wasn’t useless, that she was still loved and wanted.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYu6kmf0vM
With that in mind, Fubuki sighed and finally accepted the girl fully into her heart.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRmFkgDuLT
Fubuki: “Yeah, just bonding.”
