No one moved.

Clang.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAsLaoWCmVNY
How could they?
260Please respect copyright.PENANAAFiDzzf8Ei
Clang
260Please respect copyright.PENANAK6kizgsEKg
Their bodies were constricted by some force.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAgxS2XOXpfh

260Please respect copyright.PENANAeCqpOmStdr
Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAWC3Qc0sNOD
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAkqA4tvbXSk
She would like to continue this pace; no need to expend all of her effort on this. But already her control is slipping. Sweat drips down her head as green and red lights flood the tunnel.
260Please respect copyright.PENANA61ia9v2VkF
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
260Please respect copyright.PENANAhyWuQoh33Q
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAxTDDmoIRxU
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAb6c08ApdVu
Alongside Bakugo are Kaoru and Izuku, who decided to fly regardless of risks. Unfortunately for everyone else, their feet were frozen by a running Todoroki.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAbHby4uvh5f
Mina: “Aw, man!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAVSnS3HagC3
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAqzEzJ1GRyr
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0apbbE8aC
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAPQ8ZhT75YL
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAXWxMlTfYbA
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAvrBaRdcyvU
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAZdFKhSIYGM
Sabrina: “Hm.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANA4JGtAZSov8
Not willing to reveal her hand or expend too much energy, she quickly maneuvered through machines. But such things will slow her down. A pillar of ice rushed forward and engulfed several robots.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAIehRNYqwyC
Sabrina would have been frozen if she didn’t use her quirk to stop the ice before it could touch her. Still, that second of using her powers was enough for the airborne racers to pass her.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAamHxB8GHua
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAv55iABnnyG
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7E6hOlXi5
President Mic: “The first-place position is a warzone! But don’t relax just yet; here comes the next obstacle. A little surprise for our flyers courtesy of the school principal!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANA2GjNA7xtrU
Izuku immediately teleported to the ground and started running when he heard that. Good thing too, for Kaoru was about to run into the first airborne trap.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAAEIgzKzNuk
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAB7ZkeR5yGs
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAB5cXHNuAuP
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAgmRjcwHANR
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAEDtcoidukA
While that happened, the rest of the students tore through the robots. In the lead was Bakugo, flying low enough to avoid the mines. Followed close behind were the grounded Izuku, Sabrina, and Todoroki.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAv0Fl8ukvGU
The trio took a glance at each other before deciding to exercise their right to interfere with each other. Sabrina’s eyes flash red before a force stops Todoroki in his tracks. But he was freed when Sabrina was tripped by unstable earth caused by Izuku.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAdgKSGdA0WS
But before Izuku can run ahead, his legs are frozen by Todoroki. The psychic broke the ice immediately, but not fast enough before a force flung him into the sky.
260Please respect copyright.PENANA9KhCJC46KE
Sabrina glided over the ice field and took her position at second place. Meanwhile, Izuku righted himself just in time to witness Kaoru’s outburst.
260Please respect copyright.PENANA598fVeYwl5
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANA8E3Fv6wOHE
An explosion of red psychic energy erupted and destroyed all the surrounding mines. Like a meteor, Kaoru shoots forward blindly, all the way to first place.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAFfKG6BfiPn
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAN0mlmInPGy
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ3MsFrVso
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAorgERDFBYj
Kaoru: “What the-”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAUCsnO2U4PK
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAmjmTU5zMGt
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAZV4xk3BLBM
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAb9ecQU9pZf
While she complains, Bakugo arrives and easily blasts onto a platform. But only barely. He was high enough to trigger another invisible bomb. Thankfully, all he got out of it was singed hair.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAKdhgiO36vT
Bakugo: “Tch”
260Please respect copyright.PENANA4joO634sno
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAMk97vnjHCV
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAA7aGZ65kzH
Kaoru: “Huh?”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAn3GStoKw0g
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAXNMtPx5Xxd
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAdGroIw824n
Sabrina ignored her emotional outburst and gracefully walked the tightropes. Todoroki was close behind and did the same, but even he wasn’t as fast as her.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAsRhwTZhCxH
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAwLx40BO0lo
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
260Please respect copyright.PENANA1d0CU1p49n
Before she can finish introducing her baby, a bike jumps over her and lands on the platform. Returning the bike to her body, Momo then created something she learned from a comic.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAF0vjy1jJ2M
Using the inertia from the jump, she lets herself fall into the ravine. But she catches herself using a web sling, or more so a wire sling. It strained her arm a great deal, but she prepared for this. Like a certain comic hero, Momo swung between the platforms at a respectable speed.
260Please respect copyright.PENANADGKHMFKX5T
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAu1ryo3Zdvu
The girl used her own equipment to swing into the ravine and follow after Momo. Just then, a red rocket emerged out of the darkness. Kaoru landed on one of the middle platforms, breathing heavily.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAJcOQtSNiui
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAhoFuGl7y4l
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAlEf07no4Hl
As for Izuku, he finally caught up along with the rest of the students. Ida sped through, and Tsuyu crawled the rope with ease. Izuku was quickly losing ground, but he refused to fly in this environment.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAnw6XtvSouV
So instead, he put his improved body and senses to the test. Thanks to his new ability, he was able to strengthen his muscular structure and bones. This increased his baseline strength and durability. Adding on psionic enhancements, and the result was explosive.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAu9WCGCOARU
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAX1v6IUYsrv
Izuku: “Gah!
260Please respect copyright.PENANAR1pwtxRy6l
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ7XfGC8fq
To the shock of the audience, the pillar began to fall, and right under it was Mina, still balancing on a rope. Her eyes widened at the incoming doom.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAZG0QpYgBos
Izuku: “Ashido!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANARGjsq7Okmd
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAE8KLhjd9EH
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAOqaXYTldM8
Izuku: “Hurry!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAQYvciUsi3q
Mina made her way across the rope fairly fast. This will kill his chances at winning, but this was more important. It’s not the first time he did something like this.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAvrVhzh9IzA
Once Mina was clear, Izuku gently lowered the rubble down. However, he forgot about the mines. With a clang, stone met metal, and the sky was lit ablaze.
260Please respect copyright.PENANA7hI1VlJfYb
But Izuku didn’t buckle; he controlled the chaos. The very explosions themselves were contained in psychic fields and condensed until they were no more.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAVH9SR64IZx
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
260Please respect copyright.PENANA0wqYcbQuRq
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANA9yiH39bWI7
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
260Please respect copyright.PENANAwKmyEOJURI
Kiri: “Onii.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAXBqunnVAnD
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAeJmDwdqiQZ
She was behind him, apparently deciding to give up on the race too. Izuku drops his hands and lets the rubble fall into the abyss below.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAtBFpZcoyrz
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAClH4wUJXaR
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAKN9cRn8aUW
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAijzqrGXkzS
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAr99OXqqihL
Kiri: “Izu… ”
260Please respect copyright.PENANA5w423UFbH2
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAVvqIbHMJDx
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAXT3Ql54YyV
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
260Please respect copyright.PENANADo4Uy1811W
Kiri: “Wha-”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAcmCxY95rPh
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAbH67fFNrCH
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAz4F0Jmspei
Moving back to the front runners, Bakugo explodes into the last part of the race. Giving his arms a second of rest and a moment for Present Mic to explain things, Bakugo landed onto the gravel.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAEjLgwsNUSD
Present Mic: “And now we come to the final barrier! A minefield!! But these mines are hidden underground; if you look carefully, you can see them. Are there ones in the air? Who knows!!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAjIIv5AtsZc
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAmbUtD8rvSh
The explosive boy has a sizable lead, as it should be. Clearly, halfnhalf and those psychic bitches issued a war declaration to the wrong rival.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAESFLIsgVIr
Sabrina: “Did we?”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAKGh6llFeTI
Suddenly, Bakugo’s body locks up. Her binding is far harder to get out of than Izuku’s, and her focus is all on Bakugo.
260Please respect copyright.PENANADWJljTJnf4
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANARwZ0av3kIi
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAepHky6VfwW
She calmly walks towards the finish line, but another blast of ice forces her to stop and block. Her focus broken, Bakugo explodes free of her control and glares at her.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAkFDwJw8II4
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAZpZJcwi0L8
Izuku and Kiri look at their surroundings before everyone freezes at the surprise additions. But that surprise only lasted a second as they all burst into a mad dash to the finish line.
260Please respect copyright.PENANASQkhbJycBl
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAs7v23c4rFy
Sabrina tried to stop everyone but was countered by Izuku at every turn. Didn’t help that she had to make sure she didn’t trip a mine.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAT2pjV20AFo
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAbc0c6Tshc4
BOOOM!!
260Please respect copyright.PENANANzuYKcOTdO
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
260Please respect copyright.PENANA7u2ICRg3CZ
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAWSI9cRvXXq
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAv4eH6ouXFI
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAR8m2KSwjWF
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAQJjKijd1Qo
Present Mic: “This is just the sort of development you all crave!! A team-up!! Akashi gathered the mines with her quirk while Yaoyorozu created the platform they blasted off on!!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANA3DJ5OO8Io6
Thanks to their tactics, they overtook the leaders. But they were still a few ways off from the finish. But that amount of distance is nothing to an esper.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAx7C68qNbgY
Kaoru: “Ready?”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAlAIcl4onLt
Momo: “Yes!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAugN2U1Sg8Q
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAUHWWLjC4nc
Sabrina: “Lock!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANA6qXmyp8nby
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAVs5cnkLnD2
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANA9vAixTV3fX
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAnw3ik63heM
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
260Please respect copyright.PENANAq9n2jpMf7i
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
260Please respect copyright.PENANACXqDXD2iIx
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
260Please respect copyright.PENANAT7nA70SOAi
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAGpGOH1ZBOa
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAOQPWz8ZaCe
Kiri: “Uh.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANACUMBlMobaL
A flash of light erupted out from beneath her, and thanks to the shield, she was spared the blindness. But the surprises weren’t done.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAaRfTJXfwEP
Boom!
260Please respect copyright.PENANA0pHdYrpcOm
The shield hit a mine and blew the racers apart. For a few seconds, everything was ringing and dark. It was only due to sheer will that Momo was able to get up.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAOSRcLmhwR2
But she wasn’t the only one; everyone else quickly recovered. There was only one difference, one gifted by chance. Momo was right next to the finish line. Just a few feet to victory.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAZAToHRdaqv
This was it!
260Please respect copyright.PENANA4l6wyrhUJ4
She was going to-
260Please respect copyright.PENANAQ16iFmh7MK
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
260Please respect copyright.PENANA3zkvnDS2E8
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAddpnezRihA
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
260Please respect copyright.PENANApAe38LgCow
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAOtyggsHYQE
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANACXzOPpqiM2
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAjLLouGQn3I
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANASyjlGT1ang
1. Aoi Nogami (Class B)
2. Katsuki Bakugo (Class A)
3. Momo Yaoyorozu (Class A)
4. Izuku Midoriya (Class A)
5. Kiri Tae (Class A)
6. Kaoru Akashi (Class B)
7. Sabrina Kanto (Class B)
8. Shouto Todoroki (Class A)
9. Ibara Shiozaki (Class B)
10. Tenya Ida (Class A)
11. Juuzou Honenuki (Class B)
12. Fumikage Tokoyami (Class A)

16. Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu (Class B)
17. Tsuyu Asui (Class A)
18. Mezo Shoji (Class A)
19. Ochaco Uraraka (Class A)
20. Kyoka Jiro (Class A)
260Please respect copyright.PENANAMYw8ca0WwI
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
260Please respect copyright.PENANA9mG5FJAycH
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAYRSFEONPIp
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAAT2KZrnyB2
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAKAwMaN1phi
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAiG5NFLWwkB
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAN7KRhqzOoN
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAE3KKvXJdEk
Aoi: “If it makes you feel any better, I wasn’t going to do it either. But since no one called foul when you did it, I thought, why not?”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAW8jFYA2kcK
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAL6Rcs7JSw1
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAxcynq1eLst
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
260Please respect copyright.PENANAswcJ9tios2
He could have gotten higher, but he couldn’t compete in speed when it comes to those who can fly. As soon as they learned that the sky was clear, they left him in the dust.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAI3uMXGDlqn
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAnfTzkCfyVz
Then there’s Kiri, the physical powerhouse that can keep up with flyers regardless. Good thing he was humbled already; otherwise this would be crushing.
260Please respect copyright.PENANA2Rwri6vQ8q
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
260Please respect copyright.PENANASuYhzdD8MS
Midnight: “The 43 at the top have earned the right to advance!! I’m sorry for the kids who failed, but take heart! This festival’s showstopper is still being prepared!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANA6k95KRMzZl
Midnight: “And now the post-preliminaries, the final selections! From here on, even the press corps will squeal with white-hot excitement, so go all out!!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAEF3VYMpoN0
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAhpJPfzzAKQ
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAIB4v68yC6o
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAAYDzUdeINN
Midnight: “You all form 2-4 person teams freely and form a horseback configuration! Basically, it’s the same rules as a normal human cavalry. Swipe enemy riders’ headbands and guard your own. Except for one thing, everyone will receive points based on their performance in the last trial.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAXOvWM5rxbj
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAbGD3XMqDHz
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
260Please respect copyright.PENANADkWiAuoYAh
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
260Please respect copyright.PENANAGN2FR0jgHF
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANA2a05OhS67W
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
260Please respect copyright.PENANATjlp2Mne09
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANA7Vi4tHUGbt
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
260Please respect copyright.PENANAFpdQHSirG8
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
260Please respect copyright.PENANA54t02nKmeq
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
