She could feel it festering within her onee. Complex feelings that demanded release. Kiri wanted to help but didn’t really know how.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim4gjVDlp6
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBvKnRSf1x
She didn’t expect it to be violent though, but Kiri can handle it. At least, she thought she could.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF7F2JZFfS
Fubuki: “Freeze!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrcKAlcf0Q
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkebpdxhPF
Despite this, Kiri only felt… proud.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu9Bvt7ovg
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYNbmeYzzv
So where did that leave Fubuki?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcqIeUMxtX
Well, if this was any indication, closer to them than she may think.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI5p4u6xNA
But how to show that to her onee?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tvGhqFjAM
Kiri: ‘All out. If she defeats me, then she’ll know.’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYp6lVCUJW
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ39TiMVd7H
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAingzUyKLv
Kiri quickly broke out of the psychic hold rag-dolling her but didn’t do anything afterward besides landing on her feet.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsPizF6EPl
It was then when the battlefield grew tense as Kiri grew to her full height and power, her Valkyrie form.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl5IcVfzq1
Fubuki’s eyes widen as fear begins to creep into her mind.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsJNLj2IsM
Fubuki: “S-So, you’re showing your true colors now?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvWhVetzLE
Kiri: “Onee, I’m not trying to take your place.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DgsdVoq0C
Fubuki: “… But you are.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHmOsnCE9U
Fubuki: ‘And if I lose… it will be final.’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnfwqCtqwe
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCLEP7Jfvx
Even so, Fubuki had to try. So she-
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGgbIZ7hD8
No time!
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvWZ6lGN1n
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOdtjzfBd8
Fubuki: “F-Freeze!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Z9BrsC7R
Again, Kiri is frozen in place, but Fubuki didn’t capitalize. She had to collect herself first.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskOQ8HGU13
Fubuki: ‘Just one punch and I was almost-’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOJfp2JMN3
Swallowing bile and despair, Fubuki turned all of her attention to the fight. Nothing less will suffice.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwwsI0jzAg
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyd6fuezOw
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoQ8D1IWXa
But unlike last time, Fubuki’s image shattered like glass from the blow.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W8X6AdA4L
Kiri: “Illusion?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pogVOQf8h
Turning around, she notices several Fubukis. Each one held up their right hand, summoning a roaring storm of needles.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZYALtbkvL
Kiri: “See? Strong.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ1le0jKN4
Fubuki: “Don’t patronize me!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXKiva22HM
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qbstKAsY6
It wasn’t as painful as what Sabrina did to her, but it’s a constant sting that dulled Kiri’s abilities.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnkTY0CWEZ
Fubuki: “Stop it, Kiri.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nAP5bAmCy
The storm stalls as Fubuki’s frustration builds.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlRpQxCgGQ
Kiri: “Onee?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZcV8Fb5SV
Fubuki: “Stop holding back! I shouldn’t be winning this easy. Do you think I’ll be happy if you let me win?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8dEg9l4GG
Kiri: “N-No!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYvq6n3v8F
Fubuki: “You turn into that form just for show? Am I… that weak that you feel the need to do that?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4EqubcE7l
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwin5y6nhk7
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgJ8Z5OEnl
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!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInt1g9m6n5
Fubuki: ‘But he doesn’t need me. He has Kiri, and maybe even that Yaoyorozu girl.’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KobkmT6w7
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q5zUEqJER
Fubuki: ‘Do you even want me anymore… big sis?’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ333qvzNtvo
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0Brb4R4tt
This was bad, really bad.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfY9LsVkeA
The dark pit within Fubuki was only getting worse.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K4nZymvGs
Kiri: ‘How?’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UAhyNTQZX
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuFRhNQdE3
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUBUQBrNBc
This was comparable to Izuku’s current level of power in terms of mental prowess, if not slightly better.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvQIw2xP9X
Kiri: ‘So why?’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFGtc1Uw0l
Why was the woman spiraling with such negativity?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XdVvkwb3s
Kiri doesn’t know, but losing here won’t help. So she digs deep, searching for any way to regain an advantage.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpbx0Dp48d
The biggest problem is the needles, pain, and mental commands. Nothing can be done about the last one, but the second one…
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S8BIGGuQJ
Kiri: ‘Why… do I feel pain? Why am I bleeding?’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSJqz07cdR
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34jTp0WPPK
So why is she bleeding? She has no flesh or blood. Why is she feeling pain?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkFxZTHfiR
The answer is simple: because she thought she had to. It’s to fit in better with everyone.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqvgLtNUzX
It’s the same with sleeping, breathing, and eating.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf6fM951OU
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHWlpuclou
Kiri: ‘I see…’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIraEw5MNQ8
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrkZu7Mq8A
Kiri: ‘I’m not human.’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P6djJ9utB
So she breathes out the last gasp of air needed for this fight and focuses on the truth of her being.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hf3m4ETR7
Kiri: ‘New objective… defeat Fubuki at her best.’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M71i6YDTl
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWai9KBmxD
Danger!
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RzOsbNl2k
It tingles Fubuki’s back as she refocuses on the now deathly serious Kiri.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzNb46ggiV
Fubuki: ‘I knew it… ’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1waSzvS1u
Kiri dashes to an illusion and shatters it.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYelxBjMdv
Fubuki: “Freeze!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0foNAgky0V
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOGFAPQ9kM
The truth became clear when the command wore off and Kiri instantly destroyed another illusion with a kick.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52TZofTcbp
It was only a matter of time. Fubuki would lose.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWZp6f0uLn
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?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFfRQNV2tl
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1QvlAyxeo
She lost, as she knew she would.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoZYwjH6IT
Fubuki’s head fell low as her eyes turned a darker shade.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tc0ppjuIS
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-’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROk74DvICL
Kiri: “Stop it.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lJUd9LFdH
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGk8bD7zHv
Fubuki: “W-What?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPvdw6gjxQ
Kiri: “Stop holding back. You told me to stop, and I did. Now it’s your turn.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YW0D2LHv5
Fubuki: “I-I am not holding back! This… is all I am.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTgA7LFZWR
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVMtdcXuHb
Before Fubuki could finally shatter from those words, Kiri continued.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2f10uUNZk
Kiri: “This is all you are if you give up on yourself.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp0eIcmwtZ
She removes her fist from Fubuki’s face and takes a few steps back.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvdOyINXei
Kiri: “Don’t worry about anything else. Fight me with all you have. You’re not weak; you’re stronger than you believe.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2jlho8h3Q
Fubuki wants to believe her, but what more can she do? She tried every-
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WUaoBh4SJ
Fubuki: ‘No… I haven’t tried everything. And then there’s that breakthrough I’ve been trying to reach… ’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzRlrP5gXb
But what if it’s not enough?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswSel1FQU9
What if she doesn’t break through?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRGq6AIKbv
What if she messes up again?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAcAjWkA7h
Fubuki: ‘Stop… just… focus on the fight. Kiri deserves that much for trying to help.’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmJCWbYSj7
The result is determined, but the journey to it isn’t. So, Fubuki stands and places all her focus on Kiri.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5z7gIB56c
Kiri: “All in?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTobDnPkHxe
Fubuki: “… Yes.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTGBqRxtor
The last favor from a big sister that refuses to remain a burden on her family.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88aHoR8gLw
Seeing Fubuki’s determination, Kiri didn’t waste time in destroying the newly created illusion.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz7dZu98mb
But this time Fubuki was using more than just illusions of herself. It was time to put her creativity to the test.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JD04HKS5s
Fubuki: “Reverse.’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h49rmAYuD
A mental command explodes in Kiri’s mind, causing her to trip over her own limbs. Right becomes left, up becomes down.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuD4ZVmCI8
Fubuki: “Freeze.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKHi7AQSvP
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGB90Kd9E9
Still, she continues and goes through her whole arsenal.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPympdOPXQ
Fubuki: “Ravaging Spires.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpChrWmLZra
Three whirls of cold air burst into existence around Kiri before converging on her. When they do, they merge into one large whirlwind.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EcDMG5dTy
Fubuki: “Savage Tower!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS31o3yk3IK
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK6pYfQZUw
What she couldn’t dodge was the rocket Kiri that slammed into her, taking her back to earth.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFiv5iuB1e
Fubuki: ‘Ugh! N-No!’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlG0vLfnBU
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnROMAs9kZ
So she grabbed Kiri’s face and willed an image into her brain. It was cruel, but it was the only way.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOrzWC2VUt
Kiri: “Onee!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYzYYlGcWY
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7Mnu3xPBC
Understanding the situation, Kiri let out a trembling sigh.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz0tLBevFm
Kiri: “N-Not okay.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJHAOD7Ab5
She says while looking around for where Fubuki may have gone.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLfoLuO2mU
Fubuki: “I’m sorry, but you did say to fight with all I had.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOeY6iOGR3
Kiri: “But I thought I… hurt you… badly.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYImi2BZlu
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.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf515AF9lxL
A new cut appeared on Kiri’s body. But there was no sign of the attack. At least from Kiri’s perspective.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOhewl6o3B
But what shocked both of them is that Kiri winced in pain as blood leaked once again.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvGqLd5WmJ
Seeing a chance, Fubuki presses the attack. But Kiri expected this and punched the ground, destroying it and unleashing a smoke cloud.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5AsBGX2Vm
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgS2Keb1pD
But Kiri doesn’t know that, so Fubuki pretends to search the place.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWyDHap7NR
Fubuki: “Damn it.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkUjEEOvPB
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-
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOgcszwrrG
Fubuki: “There!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfKUNPRUgW
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKseDOqHnz
The resulting wind bomb destabilizes Kiri and propels her to the ground. Waiting for her was Fubuki with her palms charged with psychic energy.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkIDVbT39S
Waiting for the right time, Fubuki thrusts her arms forward, colliding her palms with Kiri’s stomach.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmKWzvt1Rh
Kiri: “Ugh.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4XySifVOM
The result was Kiri being blasted away, but not before punching an air cannon at Fubuki.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4mF794q8g
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcMlZxd8aZ
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZLQgqlg9p
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdHPx1X2zj
Kiri: “I-Is t-this o-over?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8U4pYgedt
Fubuki was split. She did more than enough, better than she thought she would, in fact. She could lie down and accept defeat.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsHV4YUNTp
But another part wanted to continue, knew she should continue. That there was more to show, to prove and to reveal.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOuNgI8vMC
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4deOPr28Y
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.’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80DjLnR67Z
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3FkWsvWQq
Fubuki: “Ice Age.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKelj4YT1Qh
The temperature plummets as the entire room is flash frozen. Snow flutters through the air as Fubuki realizes what she just did.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxpVKKA3i7
Fubuki: “I… did this?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx4H9GemRI
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk16qBQuYmd
Fubuki: “I… won?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmxg8WMVMq
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskN2PKpcbU
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7vWOMdmw2
Fubuki: “I… can still stand by them. There is still room for growth.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwaZfNfLwr
Feeling a bit more secure in herself, Fubuki drags her body up and places her hand on the ice around Kiri.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j9PN6gNvy
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8omJHuQXO
Kiri: “Onee, you did it!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy8WR4XzF5
Fubuki: “I… guess I did.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rAldjCG0p
For once, Fubuki returns the hug and takes in the emotional warmth that Kiri provides.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtiZYYA5d6
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.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50aHY2IPDe
Fubuki: “… Thank you, Kiri.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryVWMT7v0z
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.’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzPg1tfEXI
Kiri: “Oh.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2DfeEAMGr
Fubuki: “What is it?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe75mXeDQfv
The door to the training room, which was blocked by some snow, was blasted open by a green wave of psychic energy.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQgdQFa9t5
Fubuki: “Oh.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUQheOOly1
Tatsumaki: “What the hell happened here?!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQrwFTAN8I
Izuku: “Are you two alright?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKt0kfr6zd
Kiri: “Yes, bonding.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV34fvxWfE
Izuku and Tatsumaki: “R-Really?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kJoZZL9zd
They say, looking at the destroyed and snow-covered room.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJtATIcVem
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2ABe8pyPi
She even fought to prove that Fubuki wasn’t useless, that she was still loved and wanted.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXo72DTi4M
With that in mind, Fubuki sighed and finally accepted the girl fully into her heart.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJxrdpjfZp
Fubuki: “Yeah, just bonding.”
