Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ21vuSYt1F
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!?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGqZY7KyQH
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.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7MjvrpZyi
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOnY8Dg785
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnYc5Yrfky
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCHO5UZVE3
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqp9uC87Iw
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqyUVFsMEy
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83K5EJae7q
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXSzB94xDz
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XEf2WMd4r
However-
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAOJzcwoue
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp3aCGfenO
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2mxLUnWXD
Bakugo: “Tch.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh2I7edqKp
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKxC8sBS9J
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx4rHukPvN
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2qkks1Bpv
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcm8z7ZJUv
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLNZJutAUt
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWArjpRKB5w
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTm67xdyid
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRow4FRPrzY
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8TyAk9N8m
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBFJGWHLN4
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEQkUfmW4l
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE58LpXNYwI
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4OgqcYXgh
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5iZqmPlRY
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubRsAs72Z9
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eqIGarESd
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnlA6xM10S
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbpE7vWnxI
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!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaLeUdApOf
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnGhzMUxam
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXe6YA99e0
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3jPor4xfr
Midnight: “Say what?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJoSoJvFLL
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxHKvekeai
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.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftwAesGOkn
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFQ702HMDN
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyGsBJKYTp
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuAcx5SuWv
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!!?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxf6Tm8BFC
Uraraka: “What!?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADy4NFRsTb
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl5LOkasGS
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T2xhC7Vv2
Izuku: “I get it.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvgmzL1kwA
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78hNh9ECWD
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLRHHfEHfQ
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.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7nXsVjoaz
Uraraka: “Then why?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3ARLqyCmc
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.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBs27qSxr8
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIg9vutMsv
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopZbgGeD7C
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.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBWhqDf4Cp
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8KmmReh0L
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4L1UJljN0
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4eIXa5AN3
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoT0reQgxT
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtdvuPMUH4
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQITHmekZwM
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbsQWRmdUt
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lX6l7ExNA
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDZ68SkPr2
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hMJq2cqir
Mina: “Whoa.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUpbbeJi1t
Momo: “Is she alright?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMaqchQT6i
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJS6CMj7I4
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr3UTQ3PAg
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIQYDig7xA
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8MBuYa2qM
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAsgNDv7Ks
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1kgx3ARmC
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLwr7OCIoQ
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CLz8saofc
Kiri: “… What?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6z8QiHB7I
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.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoltjKgflT
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78k1BIcgjD
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCwM41AQqZ
Kiri: “… Because… ”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYIQO1Qis4
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyukYVB4bk
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCcwKbxqAV
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVsHTdPIxt
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TczYDth8C
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?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtehu0MgRQd
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0nk3PzkXB
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWCmPS57Tz
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZIFOAmQvf
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaltDkUdDGy
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.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIRVwAQsiL
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXymNm4ZChB
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNvchUkqzO
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSG6a9LV2H
She collapses to her knees.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL9tdidNih
Izuku: “Kiri?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd6X40ADqB
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZH09CIagc
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtfbDWHy4B
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.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74OJ2hL6bb
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKclQ1Y1Aq
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEawrT6NbYZ
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cjTX8QxJ6
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsAmdgdzZF
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!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbNbs1viuw
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGca12b71S
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.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTujk79IwAq
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYcWtSQqUK
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl4aAexFJd
And even friends.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwM4rJMXHy
Izuku: “Fight!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlWWGQbApP
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!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPs47m8fXF
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZEypUb2TI
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDD2YeT2wX
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.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Gr2VAwka
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTf2eRtNkr
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89YYjocD8V
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzAmjfgaUG
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxxbHuQC7Q
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvNkGA15s9
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzSSYj39Pt
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc102Bk5TU
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaVPnYQJ8Q
Sabrina: “Lock.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHQ3aBmnuO
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VbdKI4yWl
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyRPoHte52
Kirishima: “Tae!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebii0JKdA2
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzLADL3GEz
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYoSthMXO0
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8isEj1e4fu
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJWSvsbV8B
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06GFOBzSuU
Sabrina: “Lock!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTsbh4BVhP
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEndzvTGthq
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1oL8t3Dfk
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkaYieuS5q
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzxGk1VZo1
Sabrina: “I know.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhttbRn8F8
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vZ34QGdCp
Kiri charges the new opponent.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA1xkOLeVY
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy7ueFS1FJ
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu1ZNLZe7n
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXDdD36h1i
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I9eBUKMbC
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm3R9ZLzPv
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97mpjLNsPi
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF1TzWWQbu
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lSQlBBAQp
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF4cyNdYgg
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWFNjXWLMS
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZfdyXehX3
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJfIi80oeZ
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4hWruCnB6
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTZRZIPv3R
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6n1gfwpmH
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSQUAQDjul
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKo4BsIeSv
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA8O07TivH
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHjgNmIMUG
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Smj55g47c
It was time.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw3FjnSbDI
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFBa1whHa6
Sabrina: “What?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JTEeNsWfy
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tggZa4e2m
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNvlRR0exW
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbicUludeNi
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMVAi6lBcR
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRkKOYrKcO
But she doesn’t give up!
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uz4UaLPF3
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIKXXEk3io
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL5m2Aqzyu
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVZO6m1cK3
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXeb4WWnQc
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Oyh71qSvA
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3F6P4tUQq
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY4d9nXjI1
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RCl8b5FnE
Her body tenses once more.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawooHgEowk
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUYzveIMaY
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7l1BOUq8m
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawnKpc6ufb
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyUSg5KYFB
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoCC1EbjPq
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2haIu75X8
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCUdiSqgUb
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ui91ooKkT
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoV0d9ZuX8
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnTTwdIcFm
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5167riJfk
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p7XOwpi7f
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhKAM3ydkd
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB45L29NMs
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!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCKyD6E9JM
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWoUDse4LZ
Neito: “NOOOOOOO!!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWVAqh1ySe
Kendo: “Calm down, we did good. All things considered.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul9p2RL1uL
Kaoru: “Yeah, Sabrina did her best. It was a great match.”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2apcfOltks
The esper’s two friends nod with approval.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeSiCwbKDl
Tatsumaki: “I knew she could do it. She even created a move inspired by me!”
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYrhs4FBQA
