Everyone had 15 minutes to gather their teammates. While they did that, the rest of the rules were laid out.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZBJakfyLh
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSd1lu2Y6G
The fourth one was added for those with psychic quirks. After Tatsumaki soloed this entire event, this role was created.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkUpBlKhnt
As for the team formations, Momo was watching as the teams quickly formed.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSX2koLbQs
Bakugo was pretty popular and ended up with Mina, Kirishima, and Sero.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnFXUeT0Iq
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciIi2YRxmE
As expected, Aoi teamed up with her closest friends: Kaoru, Shiho, and Sabrina.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuaZugdARi
Finally, the team Momo was conflicted on. She wanted to join Izuku, but what Ida said to him stuck with her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaR3UtfTQK
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhj4FyUrC6
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?
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq50g7mR1b
In the end, thanks to her indecision, Izuku formed his team: Kiri, Uraraka, and Tokoyami.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6gGJkbiOa
So where does that leave Momo? Well, not alone, to her pleasant surprise.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hlcy9d5o7
Mei: “Let’s team up!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HIlMdVvMA
Momo: “Huh!?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK8JBzUAO3
That girl from before was right in her face with a manic grin. Momo took a step back from the possibly insane girl.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFb1uufFNI
Momo: “Team up? With me?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldTd0sXxJT
Mei: “Of course! Your creation in the race was almost as great as my babies! Your quirk is the ability to create things, right!?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUAUFYG0Et
Momo: “Y-Yes.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxIrTpyMvG
Mei: “Excellent! Together, we can create even more amazing babies!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0Ho4vuhD3
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK4O4YblrU
Momo: “B-Babies? I-”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof9u6CTe6c
Jiro: “I think she means her support gear.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAa595bOlR
Momo: “Kyoka!?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTXkUtKBma
And alongside her was Denki, who was smiling at Mei’s antics.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxn1EzaXP7
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!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfST48yQ4N
Denki: “Trying to get the attention of some big shot, huh!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS46ojDqD94
Mei: “Yes!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweCQOJxGw4
Momo: “I see… well, I won’t turn you away if you want to team up with me. Kyoka, did you… find a team?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zmcbGKHrb
Jiro: “No, that’s why we’re here. Want to team up?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YrYib4oHH
Momo: “Y-Yes! Thank you.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUtm3mb5jc
Denki: “We should be thanking you. With you, I think we have a chance to win.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9XZseF1NE
Jiro: “You’re just saying that because she’s the only one that can protect the rest of us from your lightning.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jXFzL7L2I
Denki: “Yeah, but I still want to team up with her.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIgMc7mS2b
Jiro: “I saw you eyeing Todoroki before I dragged you over here, dummy.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebSEzCUkvD
Regardless of the reasons, Momo is happy that she got a team that believes in her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn3WFvkkSd
Momo: ‘This time, for sure. We even teamed up before during the villain attack…’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpskVEnVxd5
But it wouldn’t have ended well if not for the Pro Hero Snipe.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5tUKUQCQ7
Momo: ‘No, don’t think about it. We can do this.’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hFRurorva
Teams decided and horse formation created, the time had come.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl99XdBihE
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!!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfLTFTOOVd

34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilrJ0XemHX
Bakugo: “We’ve all got-”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK21JQj9Xfi
Bakugo’s team points: 640
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkY44eOqWN

34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssdktUpvuj
Todoroki: “Just one target.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR8snKESkX
Todoroki’s team points: 670
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORzHH6RoJE

34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QCUMbXBxq
Izuku and Momo look at their targets from the rider position.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1g1cJbawJ
Izuku’s team points: 660
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXDzTrOJqa
Momo’s team points: 425
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pGhGmotXe
START!
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZha4glNDzz
Kaoru: “Bring it on!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53DJ44qvUe
Aoi’s team points: 10 mil and 475
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsxEHwdoWw
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTOcRsmzsg
Sabrina: “I’ll keep him distracted. Do your thing, Kaoru.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBOEwk97s9
Kaoru: “Yeah!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbY4NiTV11
But before Kaoru, the front legs of the horse, can charge in, her legs are submerged underground.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmt1QR2KFR
Kaoru: “Houenuki!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXihrgfX4et
She looks at the approaching Todoroki team and the seemingly guilty Houenuki.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTc92c6WiA
Aoi: “All’s fair and all that?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNxm55s86B
Shiho: “Watch out!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw8b30Wjyo
Aoi turns just in time to see Bakugo, off his horse, aiming straight for her headband.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5fdiVJY3l
Bakugo: “Die!!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmIraSdYow
Right before defeat claimed them, Aoi teleported the entire team feet away.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKJI4CQGSx
Bakugo: “Wha-”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg7YPtwwVG
Before Bakugo falls to the ground, he is retrieved by Sero’s tape.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoslqJswwq5
Present Mic: “What do we see heeeere!! The rider can detach from the horse!? That’s allowed!?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94FEPFwxtA
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!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fu5ZGuwoS
Five seconds is more than enough.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkyt5WAApJ
A flash of green later, and Aoi is once again in danger of losing her headband.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IqAKj6CEw
Sabrina: “Foolish, lock.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkhznOGCqu
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnN9xi5MNo
Kaoru: “Just keep him there for 5 seconds!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYSyIM7Y4a
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeKh1ItaI6
Neito: “Like taking candy from a baby, class A.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Uw9wDoTw
Bakugo: “What the fuck, fucking assrag piece of shit motherfucking fuck, give it back!! I’ll kill you!!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW8c5JqCnv
Mina: “We’ve been had!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NCEO0oL4d
Neito: “You’re much too focused on the ten million. Not like you could take it from those girls anyway.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovXcCN1Rlt
Kirishima: “The rest of class-B is surrounding us!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjmHDmiU3A
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecrpmyGyS7
Before Bakugo could explode in anger, another explosion shook the area.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8HsLKc52Q
A bloom of green light enveloped the area.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX2cwvcM1L
Sabrina: “Ugh!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf980SOVg0
Izuku broke out the lock and teleported back to his horse, exhausted.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i2l3xcGJr
Kiri: “Onii!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcESoY1tmU
Izuku: “Keep… moving!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl2eBocKeF
As for Sabrina, she was forced to her knee, unbalancing the horse.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIQfCJLG4i
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6AbbjcNg8
Todoroki: “Shiozaki!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriQPf7TQ2u
A green vine shot straight for Aoi, and she couldn’t react in time. The vine got the headband and returned to her team.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYFYghIBkl
Aoi: “Darn it.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrksBHkTYVz
Ibara: “Forgive me, miss Nogami.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXQByYXnBM
Todoroki doesn’t give them a glance and returns to the battlefield.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfLctWf3J3
Sabrina: “I’m sorry too. He… was stronger than I expected.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5KRQHIUe6
Kaoru: “It’s not over yet! Come on!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20q8wfYeKx
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHBzaH7nF3
He’ll be sure to take that headband from halfnhalf, but for now… he’s free to enact some payback.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sDEGO9JhJ
Bakugo: “Kirishima, change of plans. Before Todoroki and Deku, let’s send these goddamn shitstains to some early graves!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgb6pmYO6z
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0iDIiC6v5
Back to the Todoroki, his team has become the target. But as long as he can keep the ten million, he wins.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAHzhUZIiH
Kaoru: “Stand still!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0FON4nI4p
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P4jAnEcSx
At this rate, time will run out and Aoi’s team will be at the bottom.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG89bRWNXs
Sabrina: “I may need to-”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF559wcBv4g
Kaoru: “No! Save it for later. I got this. Aoi, get ready, I’m going all in.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcZwymPf1u
Aoi: “Right!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmSIFG7gRw
Kaoru focuses while building up energy and enveloping her friends with protective shields.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ2k7AjuPW
Meanwhile, Dark Shadow knocks away more vines while Izuku prepares once more to teleport.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9JIMvM0SB
Izuku: “Don’t worry, they don’t have anyone that can stop me. Kiri, Uraraka, are you ready?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNea8OPc7j4
Kiri, the front, nods while tensing her legs.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEhBnpj9fR
Uraraka: “Yep!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphzsimGJkm
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxgeGi2TMz
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tw3rKfRqg
Todoroki: ‘My left side… what am I doing!?’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw2cJXG8a0
Ida: “Todoroki!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14driG8Tai
Still frozen by what he did, he was blindsided by Izuku’s strategy.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAgaQnxpRg
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrR4zCPy0A
Izuku teleported back onto his team, perfectly on time to snatch another headband from the other side of Todoroki.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezxPJF6TCP
Izuku: “Got it!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjv8HT6KGI
Kiri kept the monument with a smile. But that’s when Kaoru saw her chance.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcafS443Ph7
Kaoru: “Charge!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsvNLYVixY
A blinding red light caught Izuku off guard and even shrunk Dark Shadow. The next instant, Izuku felt his headband come off.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU4E3bcmEH
Aoi: “Thanks for your contribution.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfozX8hdh7
Before Kiri could turn the horse around to face their enemies, Aoi had already teleported away.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiYhFkmL2Y
Kiri: “Tch.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzrXqL1XfF
Uraraka: “It’s okay, we got the ten million.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Oz9M6Nfe
Izuku: “No, we didn’t.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosoJcpwvW7
The esper looked at the headbands he got and saw numbers other than ten million.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUDj0CiSWy
Izuku: “It must still be on his neck. He shuffled them around.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrQBNANLtZ
Ida: “Pull your wits about you, Todoroki!! That was dangerous! And we’re not safe yet!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7uqXbaZbB
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9tp02HSsC
Present Mic: “TIME UP!!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y9yqrE3WU
Bakugo fell out of the sky while Izuku squeezed his eyes in frustration. It was over.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoilq5p7kx
Aoi: “Darn, we only ended up with Midoriya’s 660 headband.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDpxoNaRed
Kaoru: “That’s not too bad.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQErft77d4G
Sabrina: “We could have done better.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WygCX7kRZ
Shiho: “Don’t blame yourself, Sabrina.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNKiOsutdn
Sabrina: “I’m not. I’m only stating the fact that we could have done better.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MBmMPh6Tv
She looks at Izuku and narrows her eyes.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmI2hd7lLE
Sabrina: ‘Shame, I would have liked to challenge him again.’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLhU3u8BgO
Present Mic: “Now shall we see who our top 6 are!?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdBuqZWglV
1. Team Todoroki
2. Team Yaoyorozu
3. Team Bakugo
4. Team Shinsou
5. Team Nogami
6. Team Midoriya
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpC58X2fnr
Sabrina: ‘Ah, never mind.’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ngDCC9pqS
Midoriya breathed a sigh of relief.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuUjbVKU1k
Uraraka: “We made it!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyBUJXSb0F
Kiri: “Ih.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbAilBqnb2
Tokoyami: “Indeed. Yaoyorozu’s team is a surprise, however.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKyZbIE7Xd
Izuku looks at Momo and sends her mental congratulations.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ohg5iDku
Izuku: “Great job, Yaoyorozu!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecOTIKFKOl
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgBzBo8ixP
Izuku: “That’s fine! It was chaotic anyway; you made the right choice to stay out of it.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgCWBBX9ot
Momo: “… I suppose.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaoBoCOvwN
Mei: “What are you spacing out for?!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJofV73a3yF
Momo: “O-Oh, sorry Hatsume.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjSAomYeg9
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!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cvmKS4maY
Momo: “I-I’m sorry.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI7mqTGo2i
Jiro: “Ignore her, it’s fine, Momo. If we did it her way, we may not have made it.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahkF0qIID3
Momo: ‘You don’t think we could have won either… ’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6EOIJabbu
As for Todoroki, he glares at his accursed arm.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQAcBTXFSH
Todoroki: ‘I said I’d never use it. I made a promise to myself. But when I was threatened…’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lfvE3kw6U
Todoroki: “I… I can’t let it go on like this… this is exactly what he wants…”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7upC7tFnj
Present Mic: “The next event will be after lunch break! See you then!!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqOsPLsaQA
He turns to Izuku and walks towards him. There is much to discuss.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnTKRUfMcf
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQFsMkJCc1
Kiri: ‘So close… ’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdop8KL5qPT
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1moc8ACCkp
Maybe if she were on top, she could have gotten the ten million.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpGHXUSTL8
Kiri: ‘No.’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptye8fzNvt
There is no point in thinking about the past. She’ll do better next time. He needs her to be better.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwWCk6ITLc
Kiri: “Onii, let’s-”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QJigucXCN
Kiri: ‘Gone?’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cly7zUQIw
Uraraka: “Where’s Midoriya?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZwj3KR23s
Kiri: ‘It seems I’m not the only one wondering. But I’m the only one that can find him.’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NeFgm0e9O
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mtw7QTI0F
But it would seem she wasn’t the only one who knew how to find her brother.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSe81IKVH7
Kiri: “Bomb boy.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNkfnAbjiN
Bakugo: “Tch, ghost girl.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynUo2vn30j
The two glare at each other, but before they can throw any verbal blows, they hear Izuku.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDSKAgl7Br
Izuku: “So… what is it? What do you want to tell me? If we stay too long, it will get crowded.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygAY8fYqZA
Seeing that their objective is the same, the two call a truce, lean against the wall and listen.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkGfCAQ1Qm
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa0Z7GOnoD
Izuku: “… What are you trying to say?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p08ntYXE4
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?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bGSxZrm48
Izuku: “… Huh?!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSSyTSrdzT
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5tw1rrw0g
Izuku: “That’s not it at all! Their quirks may seem similar, but I promise you that is not the reason.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1ItwkCXur
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaeXdHomYx
Izuku: “… I do.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRriAh1mwP
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXpZOj9GJE
That’s when Todoroki revealed his past. His father, the quirk marriages, and his mother…
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4KwnaPGa1
Todoroki: “I’ll become number one, a hero, without needing to use his quirk. This is my total disavowal of him.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBfFBN9WNo
Izuku and the two eavesdroppers stood shocked at his reason for reaching for number one. They all have different reasons for becoming a hero.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkevv8mItzV
To be the best.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUNjz1qoKF
To be a hero like All Might.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBA6Co0NUM
To stand alongside their family.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRDKbsd61M
But those reasons feel… shallow somehow when compared to Todoroki’s. However, that won’t stop them from fighting and reaching that coveted pedestal.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UEgzWOpbV
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIKCulRajb
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.”

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.”

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.

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.”
