How could a B hero class like Fubuki defeat a dragon level villain?


Well if you've read the chapters concerning the battle then you should know
how she wins. It spends most of the chapter where she wins telling you exactly
how she wins, right down to the mechanics.

First, don't forget that Fubuki is intentionally remaining B-class because she
doesn't want to compete with Sweet Mask in A-class or her sister in S-class.
Her class is not indicative of her true strength. Indeed, in general the ranks
of heroes and monsters are both not necessarily accurate. The anime and manga
spend a little bit of extra time pointing this out, having a low-ranked and
seemingly puny-looking monster turn out to be very strong, while you are
explicitly told there are cases like this where the rankings are inaccurate.
Second, as I said, the chapter spells it out for you:

> She uses the move she calls "psychic whirlwind". It details that normally
> psionic powers follow the path of shortest distance. But she learned to
> control the path her powers take, and creates a whirlwind of psionic power
> around her. So instead of her powers clashing head-on with Psykos's and
> getting crushed--because Fubuki does plainly admit that Psykos is stronger
> than her--they instead deflect Psykos' attacks harmlessly away. Psykos
> subsequently wastes her energy, exhausting herself until she's easy
> pickings. [![circle for the

In other words, Fubuki wins because a fight isn't strictly about power. Fubuki
has the superior skill and compatibility to come out the victor.
