Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAdnrJZfRp
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!?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv53PLDpwG
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.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOh6IXaijS
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ba4hP0C50
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6Qm03Vpg2
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ujtxJzofm
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BlucciOAR
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3v0bsX7jM
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dhm1pmusK
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh11ikoJqaY
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXZSxrGKy0
However-
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOELopv8Kaw
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yDT38Ou7v
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpkg2lCgNo
Bakugo: “Tch.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnVQo2lBFc
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ2WXVYEQP
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUfYW50i1k
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLt4GVxPfv
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfnJygjpjN
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAdWTZ55HN
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvUmWL65qw
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4EIVc1jkT
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWkplVCjER
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2EUML0Kr1
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mYSONkecA
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUL6OTw4VE
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFs6WKIe80
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoIKMDQCWq
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8BnM9bjdR
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutkEgbItC6
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNWnXN5uGM
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFCXx3E4Fj
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9nDXo0yN6
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!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyurvxCGjm
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEitYjwbGw
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsaWym6E50
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47wakxZfyC
Midnight: “Say what?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFf3ZGdst3
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVPcKmcGqG
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.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BME7pQr2w
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4glfaYf3s
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV8N308mzv
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SmvA8FhMF
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!!?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4xgwp6AMi
Uraraka: “What!?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEp4ARpncb
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyILHMQbvUY
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TcfIt7AGI
Izuku: “I get it.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LTE6CsOoI
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9SPv8ptDG
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXynpTRmbo0
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.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRTZTocg6S
Uraraka: “Then why?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecPwumowsd
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.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFY1ND6HwB
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXnkUQaJFJ
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xcFgTqfUG
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.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzuyxmYd8R
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5OFzfEzSX
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgQvsZRegE
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCBC3ylytl
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP00KdpRug
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY5ZBOYJIn
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6oRCB0NOu
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws4nagyD9M
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m5txjwpqf
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgPhHiQaTL
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHT8knFnrZ
Mina: “Whoa.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hy5bNjgW6
Momo: “Is she alright?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsPOkFXs89
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUz7ULBGu8
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3MDcutEkb
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWefK2nGbxV
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLhnL6l9C0
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwAFzAPy89
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7YcVkm9ly
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yrT4NJlun
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqilwOCQrUF
Kiri: “… What?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoIsOYJYFW
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.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcgQkTyRCH
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwatJHyN6C
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFIDOxBnIn
Kiri: “… Because… ”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANEOFpPeeu
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsMS8viIYS
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOK5tonwV3
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7dYKMddrS
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRgtlrbmDx
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?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy1n7PlHMQ
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VvD3pmiJJ
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdUoUVQwYk
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa1xL6KAC3
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTdipzZgFF
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.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUoiJ6KaJ0
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgyaPaA600
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pYk1O3pk3
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu0AVjYa65
She collapses to her knees.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIWN6fmaoB
Izuku: “Kiri?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKz3y8oyCL
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC7nDWxNJp
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM4Ax5GOjW
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.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcukaWy1sM
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuOVzNUFHt
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuzMtZauvB
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXYj38qzav
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjQjyXW4dh
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!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf91aOrdIw5
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg598Spuh62
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.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoFG4IP5Ba
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5Ydk7LeQN
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXxTrKBAYL
And even friends.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0mhySJzhu
Izuku: “Fight!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSDqf9hyBQ
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!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou2rbbh5sh
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIEc6ILyfy
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0UINXKwAI
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.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xnjOwAkQO
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nw8j8G34g
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3clOe0CkdW
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWwIyauq79
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6bOPeLa0L
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIB4oQAecK
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm94QPEuEhB
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOsbJaS5Tl
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyQTe5atxd
Sabrina: “Lock.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RHa15VqfW
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzFVhHGqxa
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM04DOwcOtA
Kirishima: “Tae!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ1FlQsVFS
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3V6ENylPK
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxZcWcoSA7
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA3b3Ubaxd
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVhRsmfjjw
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmTkguO8rb
Sabrina: “Lock!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviRlixSRH5
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqhBi7PY8l
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HtVffXlE6
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoszll5GOf
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdui9M07WF
Sabrina: “I know.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK8khROMWt
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph6FBkaI2o
Kiri charges the new opponent.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNY0b40g0X
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqU5Rm5hcC
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswG6aZb39i
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgb1wdKjMR
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yYSdIAzK4
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR9mQecYFQ
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZSKsGfvAt
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dZxmlePTM
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3rIx5iJ6f
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2njx2DJVf
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyyTxYBw3R
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC57Pjl7cTq
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pYGgef30U
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCpwlcfb7X
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3IlF3TKrp
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y14eu0bCD
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDRgOw8vM1
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl5DHhxVNs
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wfwFBg0Bs
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVErlpgui2
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGePT1s1ZPN
It was time.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbwtJKWDs4
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmHgzVjBi5
Sabrina: “What?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobbwmTnwmQ
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fm2cw6lQZ
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeJ87cThB2
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBP4OHJt68
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw72UzOu3N
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy11PTGuIbZ
But she doesn’t give up!
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yQD7WF9Vj
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWyvDg6idJ
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj3TF1YvqK
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHYVOmV5mT
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8GNiKjRBn
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlvx8pJf67
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaqwoPu0XJ
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXBxp68atr
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk99I8iWbw
Her body tenses once more.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjnPDZ3ttv
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNm9ykL1tl
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAKzTaaeBd
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxXIXeIMEb
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WEOrjUdB9
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYqhXnon1s
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3omR5tObl1
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljhBtLtVPe
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr6PQkYvte
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsxlKqM60o
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNP7FKYrhO
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ5d7C5WUr
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Z2SQKhCa
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4eKe40zN4
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz0AHOb5Xg
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!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRostNaSnDn
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FjTI1xQi4
Neito: “NOOOOOOO!!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoukI2jmE1S
Kendo: “Calm down, we did good. All things considered.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJbRbHL8l6
Kaoru: “Yeah, Sabrina did her best. It was a great match.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GHXgKYY41
The esper’s two friends nod with approval.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm565qVF4dl
Tatsumaki: “I knew she could do it. She even created a move inspired by me!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePk9cZEJIJ
