Everyone had 15 minutes to gather their teammates. While they did that, the rest of the rules were laid out.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXMsyDpkBM
The headband’s worth is equal to the total points of the horse’s members.
The rider may not equip their headband on any area besides above their neck.
Even if the team loses their headband or their horse crumbles, they’re not out.
Headbands can only be taken physically.
Only the top 6 teams will advance.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ9XnYrxlE
The fourth one was added for those with psychic quirks. After Tatsumaki soloed this entire event, this role was created.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeZny7HVMt
As for the team formations, Momo was watching as the teams quickly formed.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp3g3JbiG1
Bakugo was pretty popular and ended up with Mina, Kirishima, and Sero.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDWq25SD7W
Todoroki managed to get those close in his rankings, even if they were in class B. To challenge himself, Ida agreed to join with him alongside Ibara and Honenuki.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoNIlujGfw
As expected, Aoi teamed up with her closest friends: Kaoru, Shiho, and Sabrina.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFduaiP4V51
Finally, the team Momo was conflicted on. She wanted to join Izuku, but what Ida said to him stuck with her.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUTJp2NJCA
Ida: “Ever since the entrance exam, I’ve been doing nothing but lose to you. You’re an amazing friend, but it’s precisely because of that fact that if I only ever follow you, I’ll never grow myself.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx0pUOnfhh
If she joined with Izuku, would she be preventing her own growth? Shouldn’t she also see him as a rival and challenge him again?
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uiFuhk8jF
In the end, thanks to her indecision, Izuku formed his team: Kiri, Uraraka, and Tokoyami.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CnQlDnLWp
So where does that leave Momo? Well, not alone, to her pleasant surprise.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpBba6cptr
Mei: “Let’s team up!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SLsvvWHyl
Momo: “Huh!?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP0SoXdTVY
That girl from before was right in her face with a manic grin. Momo took a step back from the possibly insane girl.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB08EXTbP2
Momo: “Team up? With me?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0BzCO0WLw
Mei: “Of course! Your creation in the race was almost as great as my babies! Your quirk is the ability to create things, right!?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75KmUWfJCy
Momo: “Y-Yes.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUGxiqpJ6o
Mei: “Excellent! Together, we can create even more amazing babies!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxdrv2oKlk
If the girl’s enthusiasm and invasion of personal space didn’t do it, that statement finished the job and painted Momo’s face red.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoUAu4tA7X
Momo: “B-Babies? I-”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiLgstc9dB
Jiro: “I think she means her support gear.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMf7SXe2sa
Momo: “Kyoka!?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksqC7ub8EB
And alongside her was Denki, who was smiling at Mei’s antics.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmfiEU4Das
Mei: “Correct! I’m Hatsume Mei of the Dept. of support! Not only will we create magnificent babies, but your position will be sure to draw attention to my super cute babies!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuHgLfBOGG
Denki: “Trying to get the attention of some big shot, huh!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0DGqIncjb
Mei: “Yes!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSyOjCJUK1
Momo: “I see… well, I won’t turn you away if you want to team up with me. Kyoka, did you… find a team?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysK5cU4mTH
Jiro: “No, that’s why we’re here. Want to team up?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMp0JSOIXN
Momo: “Y-Yes! Thank you.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXzpfxhH06
Denki: “We should be thanking you. With you, I think we have a chance to win.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTG5IKbyF7
Jiro: “You’re just saying that because she’s the only one that can protect the rest of us from your lightning.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDS0xPGQSi
Denki: “Yeah, but I still want to team up with her.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mbj0ZAZeT
Jiro: “I saw you eyeing Todoroki before I dragged you over here, dummy.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9HU2FxsNu
Regardless of the reasons, Momo is happy that she got a team that believes in her.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9wveXFhvV
Momo: ‘This time, for sure. We even teamed up before during the villain attack…’
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBNkpk3m1r
But it wouldn’t have ended well if not for the Pro Hero Snipe.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PsgM5Htgt
Momo: ‘No, don’t think about it. We can do this.’
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSVaaAhY66
Teams decided and horse formation created, the time had come.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOr247OZZd
Present Mic “All right, have you all formed your teams?!! Well, you better have!! Let’s do it!! Let’s start the countdown to vicious clash!!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXhhbhpo4o

277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuJQdZSu92

277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg4pTeq25H
Bakugo’s team points: 640
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz5DIYIVvx

277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHorhGbe8xV
Todoroki: “Just one target.”

Todoroki’s team points: 670
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzNSMIsry2

277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdc4lmNtlF
Izuku and Momo look at their targets from the rider position.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bjQynGszC
Izuku’s team points: 660
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEPCNu1WL6
Momo’s team points: 425
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPszRfZGq5
START!
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEfAC1u3N4
Kaoru: “Bring it on!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9dnJP6b6H
Aoi’s team points: 10 mil and 475
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX8o65lujv
The opening attack was instant; Sabrina’s eyes flashed red in an effort to lock everyone down. But as expected, Izuku counters with his own quirk.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRXSDMym21
Sabrina: “I’ll keep him distracted. Do your thing, Kaoru.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgYYM1vFLq
Kaoru: “Yeah!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskFWHC1b03
But before Kaoru, the front legs of the horse, can charge in, her legs are submerged underground.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWPUlDAtIQ
Kaoru: “Houenuki!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8d8DqzLzs
She looks at the approaching Todoroki team and the seemingly guilty Houenuki.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgph0AqgRi
Aoi: “All’s fair and all that?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqakGyB2Y6i
Shiho: “Watch out!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYpxJT2VMp
Aoi turns just in time to see Bakugo, off his horse, aiming straight for her headband.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY6jv4oCwR
Bakugo: “Die!!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWziVStwPf6
Right before defeat claimed them, Aoi teleported the entire team feet away.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmTV4GjELE
Bakugo: “Wha-”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQYN6EJONa
Before Bakugo falls to the ground, he is retrieved by Sero’s tape.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XoKT34GFP
Present Mic: “What do we see heeeere!! The rider can detach from the horse!? That’s allowed!?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A4UO9dog4
Midnight: “It’s only a technical; the rider’s just not allowed to plant their feet on the ground or stay airborne for more than 5 seconds!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRWeMyECgU
Five seconds is more than enough.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0szHr7zPWo
A flash of green later, and Aoi is once again in danger of losing her headband.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkLIAf2Spw
Sabrina: “Foolish, lock.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJWlWemo4j
Izuku is locked in place, right when he was about to grab the headband. He wasn’t fast enough to get the headband and block the lockdown.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jb1wW5TzW
Kaoru: “Just keep him there for 5 seconds!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjfed6j9Tm
Bakugo glares at Deku’s risky maneuver. If Deku loses here, the person Bakugo lost to, what will that say about him? But before the explosive boy can charge in, he feels his headband being taken.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXfJiwMYay
Neito: “Like taking candy from a baby, class A.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyHo8yvFJE
Bakugo: “What the fuck, fucking assrag piece of shit motherfucking fuck, give it back!! I’ll kill you!!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMSJuMZuJV
Mina: “We’ve been had!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8qW6c5ezK
Neito: “You’re much too focused on the ten million. Not like you could take it from those girls anyway.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS89FDX8fxY
Kirishima: “The rest of class-B is surrounding us!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkqHln5OoM
Neito: “Ah, now that I look at you, aren’t you the victim of the sludge incident? Tell me all about it next time. How it must feel to be attacked by a villain once every year, I mean.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7JYit6VSD
Before Bakugo could explode in anger, another explosion shook the area.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3hWSShBzd
A bloom of green light enveloped the area.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbliw6fVuJA
Sabrina: “Ugh!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7eRjazc2k
Izuku broke out the lock and teleported back to his horse, exhausted.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRPzhEhJNs
Kiri: “Onii!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcBJ9QBF2i
Izuku: “Keep… moving!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRL0eYAGUi
As for Sabrina, she was forced to her knee, unbalancing the horse.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCwndgAm1u
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzQDFrbYen
Todoroki: “Shiozaki!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2jXs0T30F
A green vine shot straight for Aoi, and she couldn’t react in time. The vine got the headband and returned to her team.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7fSeuZIfH
Aoi: “Darn it.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvN6pUDvwV
Ibara: “Forgive me, miss Nogami.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZWVuVTqfO
Todoroki doesn’t give them a glance and returns to the battlefield.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspKO3Rs3t3
Sabrina: “I’m sorry too. He… was stronger than I expected.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufQGnPisrr
Kaoru: “It’s not over yet! Come on!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eOq78XJ2F
The once top team returns to the battlefield. Neito and Bakugo saw the whole thing. Bakugo couldn’t help but laugh at the turn of events.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveZ1cMWyfu
He’ll be sure to take that headband from halfnhalf, but for now… he’s free to enact some payback.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnaIXzSgRc
Bakugo: “Kirishima, change of plans. Before Todoroki and Deku, let’s send these goddamn shitstains to some early graves!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLZ5QM8tHh
Neito gulps at the enraged Bakugo but keeps a calm facade up. After all, he’s sure his class can turn this around once more.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLByRmCUPn
Back to the Todoroki, his team has become the target. But as long as he can keep the ten million, he wins.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc69KTj7GTg
Kaoru: “Stand still!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3D4c7rofc
Thanks to Ida’s speed and Honenuki’s softening, they are able to avoid most attacks. Aoi is constantly teleporting out of the softening, and Izuku’s team has to defend against the vines from Ibara.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOMErPdvz2
At this rate, time will run out and Aoi’s team will be at the bottom.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqGlQZ9fRQ
Sabrina: “I may need to-”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8AVOgB4GV
Kaoru: “No! Save it for later. I got this. Aoi, get ready, I’m going all in.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KnAXETH5b
Aoi: “Right!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sk2iAuOBf
Kaoru focuses while building up energy and enveloping her friends with protective shields.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2MgS56ad4
Meanwhile, Dark Shadow knocks away more vines while Izuku prepares once more to teleport.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwRlQCf9tZ
Izuku: “Don’t worry, they don’t have anyone that can stop me. Kiri, Uraraka, are you ready?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HHe8KXd7Z
Kiri, the front, nods while tensing her legs.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEnFhjhVsD
Uraraka: “Yep!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFMTtt4Itk
Grasping his chance, Izuku teleports again. Todoroki sees it coming, but it doesn’t change the fact he can barely react to it. Izuku appears behind him, aiming for the one million around his neck.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwc2rkSVUH
Instinctively, Todoroki uses his flaming side to try and deter Izuku. But being an esper, Izuku is able to mentally push aside his arm and grab one of the headbands around Todoroki’s neck before teleporting away.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rZFVz6IQF
Todoroki: ‘My left side… what am I doing!?’
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQk4VUEMKx
Ida: “Todoroki!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9MkqU54Fi
Still frozen by what he did, he was blindsided by Izuku’s strategy.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4HpnZ8Pfk
Kiri was already moving when Izuku teleported. She was much faster thanks to Uraraka making their team weightless. Tokoyami dealt with the vines while Kiri charged forward into position.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNphWGEF5M
Izuku teleported back onto his team, perfectly on time to snatch another headband from the other side of Todoroki.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡred2daNdNR
Izuku: “Got it!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRO70lFE5t
Kiri kept the monument with a smile. But that’s when Kaoru saw her chance.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKqc6U65wG
Kaoru: “Charge!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLqCKw2Xnz
A blinding red light caught Izuku off guard and even shrunk Dark Shadow. The next instant, Izuku felt his headband come off.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rBFqv34Rg
Aoi: “Thanks for your contribution.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeXxCooPC3
Before Kiri could turn the horse around to face their enemies, Aoi had already teleported away.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyGHWidf3f
Kiri: “Tch.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JTCleRb6E
Uraraka: “It’s okay, we got the ten million.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnSc1pCYQ4
Izuku: “No, we didn’t.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzV4sZ6RdY
The esper looked at the headbands he got and saw numbers other than ten million.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiXxjh62Oc
Izuku: “It must still be on his neck. He shuffled them around.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CsVelM4kL
Ida: “Pull your wits about you, Todoroki!! That was dangerous! And we’re not safe yet!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64RnRbVPLf
Todoroki snaps out of it and sees Izuku’s and Aoi’s team charging him. He also hears explosions coming from above. He breathes cold air, ready to freeze them and collect their headbands afterwards.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWxpNnY5ms
Present Mic: “TIME UP!!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvph5ruHzN
Bakugo fell out of the sky while Izuku squeezed his eyes in frustration. It was over.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KfXOVPxnn
Aoi: “Darn, we only ended up with Midoriya’s 660 headband.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3qn9byeV2
Kaoru: “That’s not too bad.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKywN9tl2Zq
Sabrina: “We could have done better.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghxl0u1UNX
Shiho: “Don’t blame yourself, Sabrina.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTXkN6Qcvg
Sabrina: “I’m not. I’m only stating the fact that we could have done better.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpQBUl3648
She looks at Izuku and narrows her eyes.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2RrZzXwab
Sabrina: ‘Shame, I would have liked to challenge him again.’
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY45OUTwV4
Present Mic: “Now shall we see who our top 6 are!?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXpVsPSOdX
1. Team Todoroki
2. Team Yaoyorozu
3. Team Bakugo
4. Team Shinsou
5. Team Nogami
6. Team Midoriya
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwyIatKBMw
Sabrina: ‘Ah, never mind.’
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiED460qkj
Midoriya breathed a sigh of relief.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eLWpAbikH
Uraraka: “We made it!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ817FcifxNi
Kiri: “Ih.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxpjpUexcc
Tokoyami: “Indeed. Yaoyorozu’s team is a surprise, however.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2DSAUiQ6i
Izuku looks at Momo and sends her mental congratulations.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6TplYqqXs
Izuku: “Great job, Yaoyorozu!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSldnsquCSU
Momo: “M-Midoriya! T-Thank you, but I still missed first place. I was so focused on gathering extra headbands that I missed my chance to go for the ten million.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun5DExI7Vc
Izuku: “That’s fine! It was chaotic anyway; you made the right choice to stay out of it.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSP0tM6WMS
Momo: “… I suppose.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrVetaZC4Y
Mei: “What are you spacing out for?!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE4ZgVug0l
Momo: “O-Oh, sorry Hatsume.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapmfkkxISg
Mei: “This was a great chance to test some of my babies, but we didn’t get to shine as much as I liked. I need to make up for it with the next event!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1M9ChUKdd
Momo: “I-I’m sorry.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAO4iKLMgF
Jiro: “Ignore her, it’s fine, Momo. If we did it her way, we may not have made it.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1FjWfKbGO
Momo: ‘You don’t think we could have won either… ’
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydRjI3g88f
As for Todoroki, he glares at his accursed arm.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi9el972qk
Todoroki: ‘I said I’d never use it. I made a promise to myself. But when I was threatened…’
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUEKYqLXeQ
Todoroki: “I… I can’t let it go on like this… this is exactly what he wants…”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jploFCCgi
Present Mic: “The next event will be after lunch break! See you then!!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCLAlGQ58w
He turns to Izuku and walks towards him. There is much to discuss.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyB700BCc4
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS26Cf1k9O
Kiri: ‘So close… ’
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZGjWY2wZW
She and her onii-chan were so close to failure. She could have reacted better to Akashi. She could have insisted on being on top instead; maybe then Izuku would have put himself at risk.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRuXq86jNH
Maybe if she were on top, she could have gotten the ten million.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjySH3riZHd
Kiri: ‘No.’
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALJ5i89KJR
There is no point in thinking about the past. She’ll do better next time. He needs her to be better.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVKF6ihi8u
Kiri: “Onii, let’s-”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04gaIc5Xki
Kiri: ‘Gone?’
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjCXnxGeAz
Uraraka: “Where’s Midoriya?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduNCNllcSL
Kiri: ‘It seems I’m not the only one wondering. But I’m the only one that can find him.’
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnPYhcfR8a
Kiri slips from the group heading to the mess hall and follows Izuku’s psychic signature. It didn’t take her long; it was in one of the hallways.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkiGyiXoHg
But it would seem she wasn’t the only one who knew how to find her brother.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEQzHXLwRc
Kiri: “Bomb boy.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqyD3J8J6S
Bakugo: “Tch, ghost girl.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAT37qgRJv
The two glare at each other, but before they can throw any verbal blows, they hear Izuku.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJYtptHjnb
Izuku: “So… what is it? What do you want to tell me? If we stay too long, it will get crowded.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO7h1LAlTk
Seeing that their objective is the same, the two call a truce, lean against the wall and listen.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC4v9WwEMf
Todoroki: “Your quirk… overwhelmed me enough to force me to break my pledge. I’m… one of the few to have seen your full power. That power and the quirk your sister has, they both remind me of people we both know.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL1KFCX0Ns
Izuku: “… What are you trying to say?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5OlexBIYJ
Todoroki: “I just find you and your sister interesting. I know you’re related to Tornado, and Tae is apparently adopted. More than that, you both caught All Might’s eye. Which leads me to my question; is your sister All Might’s Illegitimate child, and did he ask the number two hero to take care of it?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c5bkH8EQp
Izuku: “… Huh?!”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68d0wORsEQ
Bakugo looks at Kiri with wide eyes; considering her strength, it might not be far off. But Kiri shakes her head violently, denying such ridiculous claims.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJcbA7HqhI
Izuku: “That’s not it at all! Their quirks may seem similar, but I promise you that is not the reason.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9LfvJVJmB
Todoroki: “The way you said that, ‘That’s not it’. In other words, there is a connection between you all. Something you can’t talk about. Whatever that might be, you must know about my father, Endeavor.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CttOfJ9oL
Izuku: “… I do.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL67OCsNXkh
Todoroki: “He was the number two hero forever, and then your sister comes in and drops him to third place. You’re not only connected to the person who did that, but to All Might, the person he wants to surpass more than anything. Because of this, I need to win all the more.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70FkDDJeMi
That’s when Todoroki revealed his past. His father, the quirk marriages, and his mother…
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kZhbJXfWO
Todoroki: “I’ll become number one, a hero, without needing to use his quirk. This is my total disavowal of him.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBdRM0trQT
Izuku and the two eavesdroppers stood shocked at his reason for reaching for number one. They all have different reasons for becoming a hero.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxvVGtnQtz
To be the best.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rb6bNx97e
To be a hero like All Might.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUITIS0fana
To stand alongside their family.

But those reasons feel… shallow somehow when compared to Todoroki’s. However, that won’t stop them from fighting and reaching that coveted pedestal.

Todoroki: “If you can’t tell me anything, that’s fine. You two can keep being All Might’s something-or-other. I’ll overcome you two using only my right side.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3amasKxNjp
Izuku: “My… reason for reaching number one may not be as good as yours. I want to be like All Might, to stand next to my sisters with pride. I need to… master and… control my quirk for that to happen.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadoqNDCuwa
Izuku: “It may be a poor, and maybe even a selfish motive compared to yours. Even so, I can’t lose. For those that believe in me, to pay back my family for taking care of me when I was quirkless. So I’ll echo your declaration of war.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGjQAliTzv
His eyes glow green as he stares into Todoroki’s.

Kiri closes her eyes and smiles at his words. She won’t disappoint him either; she’ll try her best. As for Bakugo, his gaze is blank so as not to give anything away to Kiri.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwQFHaHqkJ
But deep down, very deep down, he can respect Izuku for his words. That won’t change the end result, though.

Bakugo: ‘I’ll be the one to win this with a complete victory. I’ll be number one.’
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKZFdaXxCB
Bakugo goes to leave for the mess hall. His movement catches Kiri’s eye.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RCvQxyEiW
Kiri: “Bomb boy?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba8qhBoGAc
Bakugo: “I’m leaving. There is nothing else to see.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2RPE2X63d
Kiri: “…Nh.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV1NEgasKp
After making sure Bakugo and Todoroki were gone, Kiri decided to join Izuku. But just then, they both got a mental message.

The whole family was eating their lunch together in the elevated. Izuku made sure to tell Momo mentally where they were so no one was worried.

He shakes his head when hearing that rare voice. Out of all the main ones, his hurt Izuku’s head the most. So many strange voices overlayed onto the main sickening one.He always comes around when Izuku wants to do something creative or expand his mental abilities.

Tatsumaki: “That being said, I still expect you two to come out on top in the next event. Sabrina seems like a glass cannon; overwhelming force may help. That Akashi girl is strong but she is reckless, I’m sure you two can outsmart her.”

Fubuki still remembers the look she received from her older sister when she failed to get first place in the festival. Tatsu tried to soften it, but she could feel the disappointment.

She takes a breath and pushes those memories down.

This was it, the last chance to claim the number one spot and impress the agencies watching. But with five espers in the running, how good are their chances really?
