Shimmering into existence, a strange yellow creature appears in front of Bakugo.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPKqQaMMlu
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!?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGqrtAJw66
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.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh8vJ6e9zy
She says while sitting down in a meditative position. It only takes a moment before Midnight agrees to the strategy.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ87KbZ48q
Midnight: “I allow it! If Kadabra or Sabrina is knocked out, Bakugo wins!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPvnxWXTVa
Jiro: “Why do I think she only agreed because she likes Kanto?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlWEz3fD1S
Uraraka: “That’s not fair. Bakugo was so close.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpotKoNyxb
Tokoyami: “Concealing your advantages is another part of battle. She was wise to keep it hidden until now.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDPSmXqzlV
Uraraka: “I know… but still.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnfMg6Tbkc
She looks at Bakugo, who breathes out hot air before nodding his head. He won’t complain; that doesn’t solve anything.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFK9gjx1af
So he surges forward, not at the creature, but at Sabrina. Midnight did say Kadabra or Sabrina.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P3qmRttWy
However-
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uo6jwr5ZD
Sabrina: “Teleport. Reflect.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisoh7GNNCE
Before Bakugo can reach her, Kadabra teleports in front of him and tanks the blast meant for Sabrina.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLiEcnhylz
Bakugo: “Tch.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iKaMFAhwz
The boy backs off as the smoke clears, revealing a floating Kadabra surrounded by a rainbow shell.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe2ghN7fuv
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTjWraPgiv
Kadabra locks eyes with Bakugo, and suddenly his vision gets darker. He can barely see; it’s like he’s nearsighted!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13dUmDHp7Q
Bakugo: “W-What did you do?!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXprKHlviN
Sabrina: “Psybeam.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9YQxarz0m
Rainbow energy gathers in Kadabra’s eyes before shooting towards Bakugo. He is able to dodge, but only barely.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ239vc89f9a
Forgoing Sabrina and focusing on the creature, he charges forward and unleashes a barrage of mini-bombs. But they are noticeably weaker than before.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhxWL7O14I
What’s worse, the shield was tanking everything.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5AJZJmIld
Sabrina: “And the finale, Disable.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLfG2zYkQH
Kadabra’s eyes once more shine; this time it’s a bright light that cuts through the smoke and hits Bakugo in the eyes.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFmVUYSev9
At that moment, his body was locked up. He growled, demanding his body to move, but it wouldn’t.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w7hyWx7du
Sabrina: “It lasts only 10 seconds. But that’s more than enough.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDnynoSaeV
Kadabra lifts his hands, and Bakugo is lifted while constrained by a blue aura.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVqugyaL8F
Bakugo: ‘No… No! Not like this!’
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnUUe21SZl
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNDD4X7h9T
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3g4Jdz0Ga
But before Sabrina could fall onto the grass behind her, Kadabra flung Bakugo away. A second later, they both landed on the grass.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXxdv1WefB
Midnight: “Double ring out! It’s a tie!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg7zAz42Bd
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!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmd69alM2K
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs2CIE6QFZ
Despite that, however, Bakugo had other plans.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBpAEQ1xv2
Bakugo: “I refuse.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydeGYq9QQY
Midnight: “Say what?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07ekijrcbx
Bakugo was in the nurse's office, getting his arms healed after straining them beyond the limit.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr49RvFQG1V
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.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7gCySV6F8
Midnight and Present Mic look at each other before sighing.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yf16R8jKV
Midnight: “Fine. If that’s what you want.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFxIksFDlp
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1kB8xXOU7
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!!?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUxUeEQ5et
Uraraka: “What!?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz428I1F6QP
Jiro: “Didn’t see that coming.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rK8lqm3ol
Uraraka: “After all that about being number one, and he just-”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hVIPNMGTN
Izuku: “I get it.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mCQPI9n4c
The class looks up to see Izuku coming down from the steps.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuci8gI3Tm
Momo: “Midoriya, where were you!?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUNZ68woa5
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.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2JA1BrS42
Uraraka: “Then why?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTr5AayiPx
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.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbf5Z14sEa
Uraraka: “But he could have won the tie-breaker and then beat Tae, becoming number one!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9ph2PM0Y0
Izuku: “… That’s not the number one he wants to be.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qk2UbXecH
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.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMPGNbWB7v
Denki: “Sounds like you’re saying Bakugo couldn’t win regardless.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC6h3yYm9C
Kirishima: “I’m not saying that! Just that it would be harder, is all.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9ZDvUE1hv
Sero: “You guys obsess over being number one too much. What’s wrong with 3rd place?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wM8j5f57J
Uraraka: “Nothing, but-”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrbQ5V1xkw
Izuku: “Sero’s right. Chasing the best can backfire. Giving your all is enough.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxkcCGJuV7
He thinks back to Endeavor, clear evidence that proves his claim.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhaJpAHfZW
Uraraka: “Then what about Tae? You threw the match.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQMr2opa3W
Kirishima: “Yeah, what was with that?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNrd3cWrdQ
Izuku: “It’s not like that! I was just surprised by… Kiri’s crying.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YCluQw6c3
Kirishima: “Wait, what!?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7GYGpObxv
Mina: “Whoa.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IEZ8te5eA
Momo: “Is she alright?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4qAPAly9k
Izuku: “Well… you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprXr78nWgY
Kirishima: “Hard not to worry when she’s fighting next.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qaikyjYkf
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidfnRy9QvE
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMF9vULaBO
Present Mic went through his usual spiel and the match began. But Kiri didn’t move.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSBcYHvJAC
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyy8MARRBx
But that changed when Kano opened her mouth to speak.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkRuO8dJtX
Sabrina: “I know what you are.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBhQEGxRyj
Kiri: “… What?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XDbhf45nF
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.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawclfXjqyR
Kiri: “… You’re right.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViQh5LQxsB
Sabrina: “Then why are you still here?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6csyaNYkN
Kiri: “… Because… ”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwWw0Ea6Pp
Kiri: ‘If he doesn’t need me… why am I fighting?’
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHXR8HMGBB
Sabrina: “Is it because he can’t let go?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81YwW0jfc2
Her head shoots up, and she looks at Sabrina.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWChAt46WqJ
Kiri: “What do you mean?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqqgLtccuG
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?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsVS6HO3RS
Kiri thinks back to her creation, the night of her birth. The driving force behind it.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxjQQTf6lT
Kiri: ‘Am I-’
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX7uMLTyfM
Sabrina: “It’s not good for him.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpeVxrWbSv
Kiri: “It’s… not?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6MmFwjFjE
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.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJjkIDrt5i
Kiri: “But I… still want to be with him. I… love him.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgb6xHEze4
Sabrina: “Of course you do; you were designed to. I’m sorry.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWxU5wAqt7
That was it, the final nail. Now you’re telling her, that her love is not even real?
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz7qLl8Ymv
She collapses to her knees.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqJU953jcg
Izuku: “Kiri?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N30SogmM5
Present Mic: “What’s this!? Is Kiri Tae giving up?! What’s happening down there!?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRGmKstM3e
The esper approaches the mental construct and can’t help but feel pity.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtthnNf8l3
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.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn6yEksi3g
Kiri: ‘To disappear… perhaps that’s the only thing I can do for Izu now. He… doesn’t need me anymore.’
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDbux22ZZG
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5xv917lwH
Tatsumaki: “Kiri!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWhHWHEyh7
Kiri tenses as she hears her sister’s voice. The sudden movement from her stilled Sabrina’s hand.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpmv6HnJAf
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!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2TO24SZvn
With her voice, Kiri remembers a fact she was too narrow-minded to see. There were others who she loved, who loved her.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIXPQdLG2S
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.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ813sPOGqjD
People who would be sad to see her disappear. Family.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMpCptWXuT
Kirishima: “Don’t give up, Tae!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwavfN5vjz
And even friends.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCdYWXOj5n
Izuku: “Fight!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpZIEb0KW9
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!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCPNmIFx9V
She even has an ideal to strive towards.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguspW9Kztp
She stands, knees not fully steady, but stronger than a moment before. Kiri now stands on a foundation all her own.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97uqriJh8N
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.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyNbb2DyXZ
The esper’s eyes widen at the declaration.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8la4k6NQPl
Sabrina: ‘She has family and friends? How?’
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRUghKfOPk
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRz5F7Gcu2
Sabrina: ‘But this… is different. There is no conflict. The love she has… at least for her family… it doesn’t seemdesigned.’
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF3qv8k76E
Sabrina: “Hmmm, very well. Then prove it.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2FHgyQCvv
Sabrina creates her psi-whips, and Kiri gets into her fighting stance.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhyThahPh4
Present Mic: “Finally! It seems like they’re ready to start! Buckle up your seat belts, folks!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHci3XHk6k
Kiri dashes forward, ready to dodge the whips. But those were just feints.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWtIZEiHTz
Sabrina: “Lock.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoFZcG11Cq
Kiri freezes in her tracks, and in the next moment, a psychic force pushes her back.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCQziajTrs
Present Mic: “Is it about to end already!?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMUtI3R24z
Kirishima: “Tae!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeeWAZQX8m
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXKNkvUvET
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2zgFtypLb
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffNuT2XKFv
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW64VQGkff
Stumbling from the energy dispersal, Sabrina was open for an overhead blow.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaSrXhnTXj
Sabrina: “Lock!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJCvc0kt2S
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTIMDlSz3X
Sabrina: “Kadabra!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGll27WL2A
The mental projection appeared once again, ready to face this new opponent.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2KMZM447J
Midnight: “Sabrina! The same rules apply!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IQbdmstHF
Sabrina: “I know.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWF2ag1YXA
Sabrina: ‘It will be mental projection versus mental projection.’
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLysXL7O2aD
Kiri charges the new opponent.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8HozmLUSU
Sabrina: “Reflect.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAyvwhSFJ7
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq2XXaxjAL
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjySp5kEkn1
Sabrina: “Kinesis.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl49bO4D2PN
But it had no effect. Even depressed, Kiri paid attention. Her eyes were closed, and so those attacks won’t work.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2RE0QNMLR
Sabrina: “That’s not so much better. You can’t fight with your eyes closed.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71wl2plZ9U
Which seemed to be the case as Kiri struck the ground beside Kadabra.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaCQi4mGQd
Sabrina: “Dragon Shock Wave.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YD2wmPzLF
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrSetWZFG7
Yes, it was. For Kadabra was already dodging by the time Kiri was moving.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WGVVugVMN
Sabrina: “Press the attack.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv75GfyM9GW
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wPiZH1uSx
She was even missing worse over time, hitting places where Kadabra wasn’t close to.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZFQsDYqv7
Neito: “Hahaha! Class 1-A’s final hope for victory is fighting blind!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAzr33TQFt
Kaoru: “You got this, Sabrina! Bring home the gold!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynRP24oEd4
Uraraka: “Uh, no.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrypX0DpxT6
Kirishima: “Open your eyes, Tae!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUVnz288od
Izuku: “No, I think she’s onto something.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiglP8s0xK
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM1rIACE47
And it was mostly on the side where Sabrina was. The stage was barely hanging around.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7qeq5l8kE
It was time.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNw3XrE8bK
When the dragon came this time, Kiri dodged it cleanly.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFQgoq2HJ9
Sabrina: “What?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs4Oi1Wb22
Then Kiri turned to Sabrina, eyes still closed, and balled her fist. Her body flexes, focusing her tactile telekinesis around it.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H5nhN3O9r
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwru3SOnJr
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Thunder Dragon Wave!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4yse5eyGF
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSOGYhNmX9
It’s painful, more pain than she ever experienced.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq4F3YnF2n
But she doesn’t give up!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5CPboAYFr
Despite her body breaking down, twitching occasionally from the lightning, Kiri presses on.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcKXgy0WsM
Kiri: ‘Because a hero, the one I want to be, doesn’t give up. Never, not when her family is expecting her to win.’
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qKdXBOLlQ
So Kiri goes plus ultra!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnf7b98V5Z
She puts even more power into her fist, enough to draw even the lightning assaulting her.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX54w3g0aY
Sabrina’s attack was no more, swallowed up by Kiri’s fist.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXDnPTL3ys
Sabrina: “Impossible.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR05wsP31IJ
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5xfLkQg2E
Kiri: “Thunder Style-”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JTEGCXlfQ
Her body tenses once more.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOZGPgOlmm
Sabrina: “Kadabra! Teleport! Guard!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNI6yBCzhe
Kiri: “Cyclone-”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsAXDZDKsy
Kadabra appears in front of Sabrina with its arms up, ready to tank the attack.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdOGB9iahS
Kiri: “SMAAAAAASHHHH!!!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqwMiP71wn
She unleashes the gathered storm, aimed slightly at the ground, and the results are explosive.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T8uAsDRQ7
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r6rcRG7vt
Thankfully, Midnight got out of the way, and Cementoss protected the audience with concrete walls.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIniXotOGC1
A few seconds later, the storm passed and the walls were lowered.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWYK30ieHM
Present Mic: “Another bomb!? Kids these days, am I right!? But did it do the job, or will this be another upset!?”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4UgZcSRnE
Depends on who you ask. Because the results became clear when the smoke did the same.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVJOB69Zjr
Kiri was on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly past her limit. Kadabra was heavily damaged but still able to move. But Sabrina-
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVHGyiXSBn
Sabrina: “Hm, well done.”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2wXeqvmt6
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3yQaDGSnh
Midnight: “As per the rules established, Sabrina is out of bounds!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyoKOt3oES
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!”
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmnDyUZSAf
The crowd goes nuts over the explosive finish.
