The hero team didn’t have to move far to arrive at their area. The civilian team had to move to the center of the city while the villains moved to some buildings deeper within.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrH4B1o3nT
This gave the heroes some time to come up with some strategy in their safety area. It was an open area with yellow tape surrounding it, signifying the safe zone.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3PBj7Gg44
Sero: “Please, tell me one of you has a plan.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqQ3JWmpdW
Kirishima: “Yeah, we’re not in the best spot.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6mdqX2vpX
The group looks to Izuku and Momo, who then look at each other.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hklV8KSqO
Izuku: “U-Us?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b0i9kbIl3
Momo: “Well, I was coming up with something. Do you have anything?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5u8iZZ0ta
Izuku: “Really? That’s great! All I know is that Kacchan will come for me when it starts.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZds2lGlf0
Momo: “Can you beat him?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMcmb95bh1
Izuku is still not the epitome of confidence, but after training with his sisters and All Might, his former bully didn’t seem so bad.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR5PShp9HR
Izuku: “Y-Yes. I don’t know how long it will take, but… I can win.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPRObeTYKy
Momo: “Good, because you’re our best chance for winning.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7i3GYr0HQ
Izuku: “I-I am?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a72h7nvFo
Kirishima: “Of course!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3pwRneyDC
Sero: “You’re our strongest team member.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELiPW2uyOe
Uraraka: “With you on our side, we can win this!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxB74MShp4
Izuku: “T-T-Thank you all. I-I won’t let you down!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p0zTGOx6M
Momo: “Good, so here’s the plan.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw4UEVvSuZ
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ajyrHlSKX
It took a while, but the villains made it to their base. A non-descriptive building with a fake missile-looking bomb on the top floor.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyi6cRqcuq
Mina: “Haha, this will be fun!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGuACBiSxU
Ida: “It may just be a training exercise, but it still pains me to be a villain.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlb3BIn1th
Mina: “Come on, just have fun with it.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA2vQyKBtX
Ida: “That will be hard considering the company.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANnruWZ366
He looks to his other teammates. Todoroki was sitting against the bomb; clearly, he was planning on guarding the bomb.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Q6pgUlq8
Tae was staring into the city with a blank expression. Ida doubts he can convince her to join in any plan he has. As for Bakugo…
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMnaeITtGs
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZILmUPPFt
He was a bomb all to himself. Ida could even see him shaking, barely able to contain his wrath.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8ROiNPUj6
Ida: “The others will most likely have their own plans. Can I count on you to help me capture the civilians?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrrFm4nDgr
Mina: “Righto boss! You can count on me!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOv2vPh9dx
It was then, when a loud siren was heard across the city. The exercise has begun.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNETJ2mmjN
Ida: “Alright, lets-”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlMzhxbAEF
But that wasn’t the end of it. A flash of green appeared in the sky. Izuku threw his head back before yelling out his challenge.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDJHWF4pC8
Izuku: “KACCHAN!! FIGHT ME!!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tY88H2Tab
That did it. Bakugo’s face split into a maddening grin before exploding into action.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7nE8bmkWZ
Bakugo: “You… FUCKING NERD!!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF5dfSoeTt
Tae followed soon after, jumping out the window and dashing into the city below.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj6R8eGnYO
Ida: “That’s our cue. Let’s… ahem… go capture those civilians for our evil plans! Hahaha!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNAdVdj34L
Mina: “That’s the spirit! Led the way.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrhursuZN1
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza8NCpouJL
Jiro couldn’t afford to be the first one out. The civilians didn’t stick around each other as soon as the exercise started. Staying together would make it too easy for the villains to catch them all at once.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqUQBebfxS
So that leads us to now, Jiro stalking the city while making sure to keep her ear close to the ground. She’s not fast, but this will hopefully give her some time to react if a villain does come.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPQZCqDEd3
What she didn’t expect was being close to the first major fight of the exercise. But maybe, hiding under the building where it will take place might be a good spot. No one would look there.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMq6KRNepP
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHapSlSsc2
The plan worked! But it also put a target on Izuku’s back.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pFsB21OVI
Izuku: ‘Not like it wasn’t already there.’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUDRJVhEkF
He floats down to the ceiling below and waits for his former friend to appear. He didn’t have to wait long.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJwj4GtRJr
Appearing with a loud boom, Bakugo shot down onto the ceiling. He raises up from his knee while sparks erupt from his hands.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrDrjnP1lz
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj1pyPeKCO
Izuku: “Kacchan… ”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5X5dRLlHm
Bakugo: “You have a lot of nerve Deku… you used to piss your pants before me… now you have the nerve to challenge me! ME!?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfnd09zP6E
Izuku: “I’m not the same Deku. In fact, you know what I learned. Deku doesn’t have to mean worthless. From now on, I’m Deku, the one who can do the impossible! Because that’s what I’ll be, a Hero!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mHWmgWsii
Izuku thinks back to the strategy meeting when he explained a bit about his relationship with Kacchan. Specifically, Momo’s response to his nickname.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGRW410GVf
Momo: “Deku, huh? Sounds a bit like Dekiru. You can do it; you’re capable. Maybe, Deku doesn’t need to mean worthless anymore, if you don’t want it to.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIS4DKKUsb
Bakugo grinds his teeth and tenses his muscles. Izuku breathes out a calming wave of air and activates his quirk. His eyes flash green, and his hair stands on end.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrc2WaoYkS
The air was electric and ready for the clash of young titans. Words weren’t needed anymore.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkAIARBbgR
Only-
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuMKTnwlVz
Fwooosh!
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULBmtn69gc
Action!
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9eKFNG2R3
Izuku lifted his hands and caught Bakugo in his explosive charge with his telekinesis. With a twitch of his hand, he throws Bakugo off the building.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaQpwc2MGU
Well, that’s what was supposed to happen. Instead, Bakugo unleashed enough force in an explosion to counteract the strength of the telekinetic hold.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAJWPhBwWI
Izuku: “Wha-”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wBfhtJjpt
Bakugo bursts out of the smoke, damaged but still intact, and headbutts Izuku.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaezPtCFFI
Izuku: “Gah-”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUbxgVWcXq
Bakugo: “Stun Grenade!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KfeQUWzNM
A flash of light envelops Izuku’s eyes, preventing any action for a second. That second was all Bakugo needed; he grabbed Izuku’s arm and flipped him onto the ground hard.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcAdTNcggE
Bakugo: “You think you’re the only one who improved! You can never compare to me, Deku! Not even with a-”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9HllvaJT9
A burst of psychic energy erupted out of Izuku, knocking Bakugo into the air. Even while temporarily blind, Izuku still could guess where his opponent was.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW7VtXoEJH
Predicting where he sent Bakugo, Izuku quickly got up, ripped concrete from the ceiling, and hurled it into the sky.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYBy7AbDri
Bakugo smiled at the assault and skillfully dodged the large piles of earth. The ones he couldn’t dodge, he destroyed. The ones he couldn’t destroy…
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDwXHMAeiY
Bakugo: “Die!!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpqOpkLVMZ
He grabbed and threw it at Izuku with incredible speed. Still blind, Izuku couldn’t react to the speedball and was hit in the head.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AIsOegSZE
Concentration broken, Izuku’s assault ended, causing all the rubble to fall back to earth. Free to attack, Bakugo exploded into the dazed Izuku, intent on ending the battle with a big right hook. But the esper predicted as much and placed a shield around himself.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0J33tXKul
The resulting blast blew both titans off the building and caused the building to start collapsing.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x55Om9b5h
Much to the annoyance of both teens, this battle would not be as easy as they thought.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN9yAYsxfY
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQvteDcP3h
Momo watched the battle while driving through the city on the bike she created.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkFrage6lm
Momo: “I guess it will take some time for Izuku to win.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFoTnByv55
Kirishima: “Y-Yeah.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGcSuR1zZB
The young man wanted to focus on the fight; he really did. But he was hanging onto Momo, one of the most attractive girls in the class. She was also wearing the most revealing outfit.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91CG1QVtTX
He’s no pervert, but he’s still a man.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYLYdQUa8Y
Kirishima: “A-Are we close to any civilians yet?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8w4AwWCS4
Momo: “No, keep an eye out.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI32g3ZUqo
Kirishima: “Righ-”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz22nECh4f9
Just then a frog girl jumped over the bike. Time slowed down as Tsuyu and Kirishima locked surprised eyes. When it resumed-
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFsKXFkh4Y
Kirishima: “Wait!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnnxQBnSia
Momo slammed the brakes, forcing the bike to skid to a stop. Tsuyu, after landing, jumped over to them.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9htmY89oUE
Tsuyu: “You came just in time, kero.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzRTjFs8zx
Momo: “Why? What’s-”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdrUjOqFUU
That’s when they noticed how out of breath Tsuyu was. The frog girl pointed behind them, and then they understood why.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOiNk57zBl
Like some horror villain, Kiri emerged from a corner nonchalantly. The presence of Mom and Kirishima didn’t change her pace; instead, she continued her slow stride forward. As if their capture was inevitable.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BqpFGpF0b
Kirishima: “No way… ”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlaqBqfVQz
Momo: “I didn’t expect to run into her this soon.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbvc1tkPKp
Kirishima swallowed any fear he may have. He can’t let something like this freeze him in his tracks. He’s going to be a hero! Just like Crimson Riot.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR8cPLDnTj
He got off the bike and began his walk toward Kiri.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ4AeQPuaP
Kirishima: “Get the civilian out of here; I’ll hold this villain off.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3pHCDb62W
Momo only hesitated for a moment before nodding. Tsuyu, understanding the situation, hoped onto the bike. A few seconds later, the two were speeding off.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuyxq5yOzp
Despite that, Kiri didn’t chase them. After all, she had a new target.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6Ate4cYaU
The two met in the middle of the street and stared each other down. Kirishima might be a head taller than Kiri, but he felt like he was the one being looked down on.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmtZVbfVYk
Kiri: “Rock-man… you’re brave.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUceqHMQz8
Kirishima: “Haha, thanks. But what hero isn’t?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w873GlTQ6
Kiri: “… True. But bravery… isn’t enough.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbRLbY8iBA
Before Kirishima could react, he was in a wall, and his whole body hurt.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQU2q2s7uz
Kiri: “Stay down.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oIWuCASkF
Kiri spared him a glance before continuing her walk. But she didn’t get far before she had to turn around and block a blow from a fully hardened Kirishima.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHkJUma5pY
Kirishima: “Don’t count me out just yet!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY095ZKFU6
He was hurt, really hurt, but he wouldn’t let it end like that. Even if he can only buy a second, he will gladly do so. That’s the purpose of a hero, a shield, to defend until the last second!
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvKQ1LIFJd
Kiri: “…Okay.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFIWepHllZ
Unbeknownst to Kirishima, Kiri smiled at his fierce determination.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTkVPhejac
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qADL6uuTQ
Jiro: ‘That was too close!’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqSRUROUpK
Her hiding spot was pretty good until the building started falling apart!
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhmw3XLMNX
Jiro: ‘I didn’t expect their battle to be that destructive. But honestly, I should’ve known.’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMT1RKafEl
Now Jiro was outside, running to find another place to hide before-
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6xi4FQD6b
Mina: “Well, looka here, a target.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe62Yo9PpWG
Jiro looked up to see Mina on a nearby ceiling, giving the girl a sly smile.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zviq3KPe6
Jiro: “Is there any way I can convince you to let me go?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgZRGFrwDY
Mina: “No can do civilian; I need to finish this up and catch back up to Ida.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqCoWmieMC
Jiro: “Tch.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sV9E1xVjD
Jiro turned tail and ran from the villain. But she knew she couldn’t outrun Mina for long. She needed a plan.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSioSBw2aLy
Jiro: ‘No rule saying we can’t defend ourselves.’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolciJlVSP0
Jiro backtracked until she found what she was looking for, a dead end. She ran into the alley and acted like she had nowhere to go.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqJpBO9IBa
Mina: “End of the line, hehehe.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmPlXhJAXf
Jiro turns back to see Mina coming closer to her while holding the capture tape.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D7g0Q04AX
Jiro: “What do you plan to do to me, you dastardly villain?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEd1zH8gqy
Mina: “Come on, you can put a bit more energy into it.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL41WiW6qaJ
Jiro: “Sorry, I’ll be louder next time.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllXDRJQQuA
At that moment, Jiro plugged her ear jacks into the sound amplifiers in her boots. Next, Jiro unleashed a powerful sound wave at Mina.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa4qCtPxX1
Mina: “Aaaah!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nX8RwSZIF
Mina dropped the capture tape and covered her ears. This gave Jiro that chance to dash for it. She grabbed it, and before Mina could recover, Jiro wrapped the tape around Mina and pushed her to the ground.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uThdZpp9n
Mina: “Ugh, what just happened?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayBmcmwtJg
Jiro: “A civilian just captured you.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFSGfjDTyG
Mina: “But… that’s not fair! You can do that?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9MOdTwouy
Jiro: “No one said we can’t. Later.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMs68m2gik
Jiro ran out of the alley quickly, knowing a hero or villain would be drawn to the sound.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJg7rKYIXY
Mina: “Darn it!”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdVvBQy6lF
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxoJvrQz7l
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8evK7azJGl
All Might smiled at the turn of events. Young Midoriya and young Bakugo’s destined battle was as destructive as she expected. He just hopes those two can settle their differences.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuHBFFyHys
Because together, they would be far better heroes.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0FmliEXuV
All Might: ‘But young Bakugo won’t learn from his mistakes… I may have to expel him. It would be a shame, but if he doesn’t change, then he will be more of a villain than a hero.’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1NQCK32gg
On a lighter note, he was glad Kyoka Jiro was able to notice that loophole. Even civilians, depending on their quirk, can and should defend themselves until a hero arrives.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAlnmzxr58
In fact, is that not what young Midoriya did? A civilian, with no quirk at the time, helping out his fellow man. Such heroism can bring out the hero out of the professionals.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzrOY1C33z
Civilians can be a wild card for both the heroes and villains.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmmGNjOR4i
All Might: “In other words, expect the unexpected!”
