No one moved.

Clang.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAGj4eySiRgl
How could they?
52Please respect copyright.PENANAtCJIPUxIUG
Clang
52Please respect copyright.PENANAKaxWEPnkRu
Their bodies were constricted by some force.

52Please respect copyright.PENANACRmMT5JKEe
Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA2KFrY4Mrn7
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA5RUSTGvUMs
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAPmLyW1IwDS
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
52Please respect copyright.PENANAsVloqJY0zo
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
52Please respect copyright.PENANARAKrtEooDB
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAauhao5ger4
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANABeuyCOMkaI
Mina: “Aw, man!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAnkgPgCdWQW
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAYz0W6yNnoY
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dy5oOIiFO
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
52Please respect copyright.PENANADgTVJkS6dA
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAqp7zRgmRTZ
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAApyQfRpJUH
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAa6b9oQeWPX
Sabrina: “Hm.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA6MRuTKNobE
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA1tVJUEgc4C
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAALnrOWRLB2
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA5SkxodIWga
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA51yl0ciUZE
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!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAp2r18IuUv1
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAzY5YKvjVe8
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA13284Oj8on
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA9X8sKK7t2L
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA7QWyxTF577
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ13wixNBt
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANABBThhIKXFJ
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAIFgGmV7dsT
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAKiUuAH7IJQ
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAVWEGSr1gY2
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAuCI7vaSjsl
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAFqY7c7u81G
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAstZL0KL2wP
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAzTwfdQ4f3w
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAFW4rQglRDk
Kaoru: “What the-”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAzQGrwIFbFJ
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA22eO7OR0DU
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAQlkcjuA2Kk
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAoYlM4V3R04
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAoG5Cb1Invc
Bakugo: “Tch”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAuS7LAYb4Fu
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAJuwhAiQXLO
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAd2AYDY5wYy
Kaoru: “Huh?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANADNwKViJCRp
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAviI8piCReE
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAlyy9TUrxUK
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAqvM2NvGzwh
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
52Please respect copyright.PENANATssB3kTOLL
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA2JFVXCpCNZ
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAaeZXV9TmUX
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAiq0IDhyF84
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAK9ud4xuW4T
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA5Dv2xuIy9D
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAoriN6mvgaA
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
52Please respect copyright.PENANABQorJh9qkF
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAtO16MDK91H
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANApC9StvE8pd
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAjeCtBqZvgH
Izuku: “Gah!
52Please respect copyright.PENANAEmWQejR9aG
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAPgXbjmnOth
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAYiunEmZD4b
Izuku: “Ashido!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA75ZVqyvgNW
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAPkSjELoOwl
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAAM5TRWFVcd
Izuku: “Hurry!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAOwqvjaxqpZ
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAEHnhoEqARk
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAdUMKLDwBD7
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA0cI9CjO3VE
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAXx8RZvZ5Uc
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA0miybNpIhz
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
52Please respect copyright.PENANAJIDfIMaLc5
Kiri: “Onii.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAbJruJd4aFx
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAg63laDD52C
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAKckTFRBAnl
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANADbYxz9FWyI
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAWiTw0Tmzkj
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAivcFW93oOM
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANADAUqa04j0a
Kiri: “Izu… ”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAz6MkTe7OIj
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAuZd0VEQBsv
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAlbmiwJObMI
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAqSpAnEaOMb
Kiri: “Wha-”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAL5g2WUSDqj
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAZURbovlZsD
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAzjru3YXci4
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAFkqpt1arG0
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!!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAC0qMZv7km5
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAmzWO22oVEd
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAGm8W2tubeU
Sabrina: “Did we?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA1uu2hFE52l
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAz36SoESpXt
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA8QeZL9xUAV
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAXZHfiaqE39
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAqy2vu7JwIH
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAGmvd7fiAYb
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAI5Tw7u1xs0
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAOvHvKtSur2
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANANeyKSaO2S3
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA4caqtIIMJw
BOOOM!!
52Please respect copyright.PENANAAx1A20rRjK
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAIvNYJEgREz
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ7LvJOjkK
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAnoHgv1TPF2
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAqYhD7Afq4C
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANASbNCC2DPZV
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!!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA3a39dFBDql
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAZE8ueYLY4D
Kaoru: “Ready?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAeaKybbATgX
Momo: “Yes!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAbhZ4KRRqrq
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAkTXj2oP1Di
Sabrina: “Lock!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA3ioPUqZijB
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAWEL2BiM1fv
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAT8u2D3pKsP
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAO6ggG47Tsx
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
52Please respect copyright.PENANAZei99gotCq
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
52Please respect copyright.PENANARJIQQiEBDR
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
52Please respect copyright.PENANAj9K8ifaf83
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAlxBJGBu8IG
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAGyCU59zzB7
Kiri: “Uh.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAYnPZkS1EDI
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAFLiF6HfHYt
Boom!
52Please respect copyright.PENANAXnTbnSnl4n
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA1M2MrJAPPF
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAmKe4UYvt1z
This was it!
52Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZkvS1cOex
She was going to-
52Please respect copyright.PENANAe31cbS5o0f
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA7JoJwquT67
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAroTlSPNF2U
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
52Please respect copyright.PENANAsiVnzGsggp
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
52Please respect copyright.PENANASxoPfU6kU3
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAPDd6ZH32DW
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAkojq8Zjv5d
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAMHLyXg5l5y
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)
13. Mina Ashido (Class A)
14. Eijirō Kirishima (Class A)
15. Hanta Sero (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)
52Please respect copyright.PENANAHJC0PLHxrq
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
52Please respect copyright.PENANANYPun3qYUu
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAh9wZyc1NQc
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAjVq2sGLabZ
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAyESCEIfp6d
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAF1sZ1O6ygL
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAgkN9sNkWWy
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
52Please respect copyright.PENANANAiFTcTxFi
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?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAgXaj8G6FdE
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAAflmxSmCHr
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAZpV8sodmR9
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
52Please respect copyright.PENANAnA6FvsdYlx
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANASpNEefqnJv
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAYXEo85tArj
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAsMXv6w8RKq
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
52Please respect copyright.PENANANJpjz4Hciy
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!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAWyWpN8UCRG
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!!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA0y2MQUflBF
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAPSqIdRaZG5
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA4aweIrJe1C
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAEPoyPhhFrv
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.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAOldQZzpI3Y
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAU4TX72QenU
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA6uGNLfxAUV
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAUQcdtFiKLQ
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANAX20pihcU7j
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAVEikN62KV2
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA5sJuiBcPmE
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
52Please respect copyright.PENANA7qni8gRlSE
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
52Please respect copyright.PENANABKq7ZZYJGz
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
