Everyone had 15 minutes to gather their teammates. While they did that, the rest of the rules were laid out.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYAJcagXQY
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZCsDfc1Vr
The fourth one was added for those with psychic quirks. After Tatsumaki soloed this entire event, this role was created.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah5HWLjzqv
As for the team formations, Momo was watching as the teams quickly formed.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTR9FnZw4v
Bakugo was pretty popular and ended up with Mina, Kirishima, and Sero.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR8gDIXrAP
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzt15Lm5dB
As expected, Aoi teamed up with her closest friends: Kaoru, Shiho, and Sabrina.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpwyF5rp1a
Finally, the team Momo was conflicted on. She wanted to join Izuku, but what Ida said to him stuck with her.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuRDcruPZX
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeqUf1BRRD
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?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEljJjGObNL
In the end, thanks to her indecision, Izuku formed his team: Kiri, Uraraka, and Tokoyami.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p4NDCUpxv
So where does that leave Momo? Well, not alone, to her pleasant surprise.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79gtoPPi3w
Mei: “Let’s team up!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmnFQbQ1VJ
Momo: “Huh!?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtafNoBk6n
That girl from before was right in her face with a manic grin. Momo took a step back from the possibly insane girl.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes8Dpoh9Ym
Momo: “Team up? With me?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4NrC1hDCZ
Mei: “Of course! Your creation in the race was almost as great as my babies! Your quirk is the ability to create things, right!?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8bEt27OQl
Momo: “Y-Yes.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLDSynrZHI
Mei: “Excellent! Together, we can create even more amazing babies!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE5tk4aKmm
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9l9IGYV7b
Momo: “B-Babies? I-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W5TzSPoyY
Jiro: “I think she means her support gear.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sRWbFmG74
Momo: “Kyoka!?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfDH0Ao30U
And alongside her was Denki, who was smiling at Mei’s antics.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNPd3aAMH1
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKnk0yuMkl
Denki: “Trying to get the attention of some big shot, huh!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1hmZSLRry
Mei: “Yes!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eoLjJW7bT
Momo: “I see… well, I won’t turn you away if you want to team up with me. Kyoka, did you… find a team?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqeAtiHPJn
Jiro: “No, that’s why we’re here. Want to team up?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kzNl3TkG2
Momo: “Y-Yes! Thank you.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FoQATnFZo
Denki: “We should be thanking you. With you, I think we have a chance to win.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNviD6hVjzm
Jiro: “You’re just saying that because she’s the only one that can protect the rest of us from your lightning.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EMvfE5JQ0
Denki: “Yeah, but I still want to team up with her.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLavSkY9Sta
Jiro: “I saw you eyeing Todoroki before I dragged you over here, dummy.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyTy6TNdek
Regardless of the reasons, Momo is happy that she got a team that believes in her.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeusiaBboLo
Momo: ‘This time, for sure. We even teamed up before during the villain attack…’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTCgz4BOVP
But it wouldn’t have ended well if not for the Pro Hero Snipe.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDHLvxGcwx
Momo: ‘No, don’t think about it. We can do this.’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ539URWyy1Z
Teams decided and horse formation created, the time had come.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjyXVuBtCu
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!!”

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCchkAYtuFP
Izuku and Momo look at their targets from the rider position.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOMmE9b6jl
Izuku’s team points: 660
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEDWjrWnkF
Momo’s team points: 425
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw11q6eHnWT
START!
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96OiSiDlGa
Kaoru: “Bring it on!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBvfu1QFzE
Aoi’s team points: 10 mil and 475
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7w69QXu0O
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnzunARaES
Sabrina: “I’ll keep him distracted. Do your thing, Kaoru.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22cYfGa2xa
Kaoru: “Yeah!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMzxNf03OX
But before Kaoru, the front legs of the horse, can charge in, her legs are submerged underground.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttm9R4Svvm
Kaoru: “Houenuki!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvpAFNigGr
She looks at the approaching Todoroki team and the seemingly guilty Houenuki.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm7fROdL6G
Aoi: “All’s fair and all that?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZDB18bjhd
Shiho: “Watch out!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgrF25xCrD
Aoi turns just in time to see Bakugo, off his horse, aiming straight for her headband.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkym7pCvMLy
Bakugo: “Die!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ1zJdU3wy
Right before defeat claimed them, Aoi teleported the entire team feet away.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVI92lxqw5
Bakugo: “Wha-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9PbLMDxI1
Before Bakugo falls to the ground, he is retrieved by Sero’s tape.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecrkX6Lxlb
Present Mic: “What do we see heeeere!! The rider can detach from the horse!? That’s allowed!?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW4tkgBD1U
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCxoGVNHpm
Five seconds is more than enough.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzo265Ng8D
A flash of green later, and Aoi is once again in danger of losing her headband.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKci9J0XQa
Sabrina: “Foolish, lock.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQHI4UdRUe
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzl3pbiUn2
Kaoru: “Just keep him there for 5 seconds!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJPVzhv9In
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql4m0qLYah
Neito: “Like taking candy from a baby, class A.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nTXQWluzW
Bakugo: “What the fuck, fucking assrag piece of shit motherfucking fuck, give it back!! I’ll kill you!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb1ZSaYyNr
Mina: “We’ve been had!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZWXb7J3k6
Neito: “You’re much too focused on the ten million. Not like you could take it from those girls anyway.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbURFCnplpB
Kirishima: “The rest of class-B is surrounding us!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfeVMQfKVD
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsfj2MU4un
Before Bakugo could explode in anger, another explosion shook the area.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsAR7sHEfD
A bloom of green light enveloped the area.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj15iQ0fO9
Sabrina: “Ugh!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3RgMKEn6b
Izuku broke out the lock and teleported back to his horse, exhausted.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjQE2thJCn
Kiri: “Onii!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE22zMK5fZ
Izuku: “Keep… moving!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYMi4RAbZN
As for Sabrina, she was forced to her knee, unbalancing the horse.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNl5qSmsY2
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NnKGV67SN
Todoroki: “Shiozaki!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoLrlHkevU
A green vine shot straight for Aoi, and she couldn’t react in time. The vine got the headband and returned to her team.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpGAJnyZC0
Aoi: “Darn it.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f0zlRteF8
Ibara: “Forgive me, miss Nogami.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmfXPpv2oK
Todoroki doesn’t give them a glance and returns to the battlefield.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA7OGFvhYK
Sabrina: “I’m sorry too. He… was stronger than I expected.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI2dO5MJi6
Kaoru: “It’s not over yet! Come on!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajP6bbrtY3
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xl67Tugtk
He’ll be sure to take that headband from halfnhalf, but for now… he’s free to enact some payback.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PY3St9ofU
Bakugo: “Kirishima, change of plans. Before Todoroki and Deku, let’s send these goddamn shitstains to some early graves!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqzJNBd7Le
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fuLZqzrlS
Back to the Todoroki, his team has become the target. But as long as he can keep the ten million, he wins.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmGhnDmahd
Kaoru: “Stand still!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFi1Oc0a35
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM3ll747MG
At this rate, time will run out and Aoi’s team will be at the bottom.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSkcwlcHQ9
Sabrina: “I may need to-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8MgUU9Mfj
Kaoru: “No! Save it for later. I got this. Aoi, get ready, I’m going all in.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MfZLf9VLj
Aoi: “Right!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPady3vr77G
Kaoru focuses while building up energy and enveloping her friends with protective shields.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8g2hRJ7Fu
Meanwhile, Dark Shadow knocks away more vines while Izuku prepares once more to teleport.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxrzbzX3Vi
Izuku: “Don’t worry, they don’t have anyone that can stop me. Kiri, Uraraka, are you ready?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpdGYuyiLG
Kiri, the front, nods while tensing her legs.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJbuRt8g0W
Uraraka: “Yep!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVcdzEUEDh
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgbDHc9V6T
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMN0R6yw3t
Todoroki: ‘My left side… what am I doing!?’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6e2DrjibA
Ida: “Todoroki!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63MnJKETrt
Still frozen by what he did, he was blindsided by Izuku’s strategy.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1n7eBsBEj
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABHrP8NhIn
Izuku teleported back onto his team, perfectly on time to snatch another headband from the other side of Todoroki.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8UP0TLpcI
Izuku: “Got it!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjPQBT1AHs
Kiri kept the monument with a smile. But that’s when Kaoru saw her chance.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRjl9bEy14
Kaoru: “Charge!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWWsTVcLB0
A blinding red light caught Izuku off guard and even shrunk Dark Shadow. The next instant, Izuku felt his headband come off.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2tpgb5FCQ
Aoi: “Thanks for your contribution.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc93Wrh8q0l
Before Kiri could turn the horse around to face their enemies, Aoi had already teleported away.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmhD4dsDxj
Kiri: “Tch.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUEYokywh1
Uraraka: “It’s okay, we got the ten million.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFUrWquuvk
Izuku: “No, we didn’t.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48O3k6UD58
The esper looked at the headbands he got and saw numbers other than ten million.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8uV7SvW4V
Izuku: “It must still be on his neck. He shuffled them around.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj2Dj7iL2I
Ida: “Pull your wits about you, Todoroki!! That was dangerous! And we’re not safe yet!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8ggAL2nYx
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqRVTZcR5R
Present Mic: “TIME UP!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkTHVEIKKI
Bakugo fell out of the sky while Izuku squeezed his eyes in frustration. It was over.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHKA7pl6ye
Aoi: “Darn, we only ended up with Midoriya’s 660 headband.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7iZKwxEIz
Kaoru: “That’s not too bad.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJalD677F4
Sabrina: “We could have done better.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lmFR8y9u7
Shiho: “Don’t blame yourself, Sabrina.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBGYyEAWqo
Sabrina: “I’m not. I’m only stating the fact that we could have done better.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAq9p5oIEK
She looks at Izuku and narrows her eyes.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSYzukJ23i
Sabrina: ‘Shame, I would have liked to challenge him again.’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0QbicJoOd
Present Mic: “Now shall we see who our top 6 are!?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP5XBCgAwf
1. Team Todoroki
2. Team Yaoyorozu
3. Team Bakugo
4. Team Shinsou
5. Team Nogami
6. Team Midoriya
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleT3rw0SrJ
Sabrina: ‘Ah, never mind.’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1jd9ehS7g
Midoriya breathed a sigh of relief.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB7Al29nLJ
Uraraka: “We made it!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0M6N7Cp9P
Kiri: “Ih.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHNwHWbanh
Tokoyami: “Indeed. Yaoyorozu’s team is a surprise, however.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gYWdDUHGq
Izuku looks at Momo and sends her mental congratulations.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL0MIdRFRP
Izuku: “Great job, Yaoyorozu!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ1wyC2CO9
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaesGJw1cio
Izuku: “That’s fine! It was chaotic anyway; you made the right choice to stay out of it.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoWLFqAJPz
Momo: “… I suppose.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQb8qT6qnN
Mei: “What are you spacing out for?!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbwxUhvkNw
Momo: “O-Oh, sorry Hatsume.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu05IRmBzH
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZGeYcNFi2
Momo: “I-I’m sorry.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Pc9qYWIO
Jiro: “Ignore her, it’s fine, Momo. If we did it her way, we may not have made it.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYMJSOaGn1
Momo: ‘You don’t think we could have won either… ’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvpb5hasHb
As for Todoroki, he glares at his accursed arm.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WCqaGKUgP
Todoroki: ‘I said I’d never use it. I made a promise to myself. But when I was threatened…’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsf47b1kP8
Todoroki: “I… I can’t let it go on like this… this is exactly what he wants…”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEelmr4AUfS
Present Mic: “The next event will be after lunch break! See you then!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKv46nrdB4
He turns to Izuku and walks towards him. There is much to discuss.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KFNsuH44V
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7vATiFoJm
Kiri: ‘So close… ’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ubLaji3kG
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOul2XBr7Pq
Maybe if she were on top, she could have gotten the ten million.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpVybdso0U
Kiri: ‘No.’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBW5B0UTb6
There is no point in thinking about the past. She’ll do better next time. He needs her to be better.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbFqPC2tPJ
Kiri: “Onii, let’s-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46W6DMYeAy
Kiri: ‘Gone?’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlUanmqUjl
Uraraka: “Where’s Midoriya?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBxwkNZc4e
Kiri: ‘It seems I’m not the only one wondering. But I’m the only one that can find him.’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUCk3b3t4B
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdoIeCqgnz
But it would seem she wasn’t the only one who knew how to find her brother.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtyxEGSFA2
Kiri: “Bomb boy.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15ffwzCthQ
Bakugo: “Tch, ghost girl.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46gdWGDNm0
The two glare at each other, but before they can throw any verbal blows, they hear Izuku.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVMU1hfXcq
Izuku: “So… what is it? What do you want to tell me? If we stay too long, it will get crowded.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaA47LtwmI
Seeing that their objective is the same, the two call a truce, lean against the wall and listen.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrdiVTysZY
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6ntWjK3q4
Izuku: “… What are you trying to say?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTkIX0Bicg
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85NiOBJAZm
Izuku: “… Huh?!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq09vBRaqW2
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9CxcKzFIH
Izuku: “That’s not it at all! Their quirks may seem similar, but I promise you that is not the reason.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIAFN2dbXD
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgchmvdemod
Izuku: “… I do.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbgSyNQZAF
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc5BMpyLAa
That’s when Todoroki revealed his past. His father, the quirk marriages, and his mother…
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKuGYZ3s28
Todoroki: “I’ll become number one, a hero, without needing to use his quirk. This is my total disavowal of him.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0nXMOv6eZ
Izuku and the two eavesdroppers stood shocked at his reason for reaching for number one. They all have different reasons for becoming a hero.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGUrbWapzH
To be the best.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmIb43M7qP
To be a hero like All Might.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgGgdvh4pW
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.”

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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhsIASxBrC
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.”

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.

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.’

Bakugo goes to leave for the mess hall. His movement catches Kiri’s eye.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfeSaaVJHU
Kiri: “Bomb boy?”

Bakugo: “I’m leaving. There is nothing else to see.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkX3PVXlFx
Kiri: “…Nh.”

After making sure Bakugo and Todoroki were gone, Kiri decided to join Izuku. But just then, they both got a mental message.

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.”

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?
