No one moved.

Clang.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA6VZsfuIDKw
How could they?
64Please respect copyright.PENANAV4bVSWldCx
Clang
64Please respect copyright.PENANAmQu9c9gH6e
Their bodies were constricted by some force.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAZkqFMCcNBC

64Please respect copyright.PENANAxJsfPAsdKJ
Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA1gzdac5xKe
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANARpe5Y5513E
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAP7ocNzzdoO
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
64Please respect copyright.PENANAIGlfL4brXG
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAMJy55rNgGv
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANA85qIMHjiAU
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAHmgRw25c5y
Mina: “Aw, man!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANA8fMGNUFoPJ
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAciphbjUmUT
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAadcXE10wsW
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA7XmyrLlHDf
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAgun460hTCZ
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAvuqLLagLbR
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAaALA72qHFG
Sabrina: “Hm.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAeMT70NPOKj
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAUDpRb7n1uy
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANARkdQNeuzdP
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAZTDopg1E1t
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0xtUW10ZQ
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!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAXbrdikF746
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANArA1bRLZ7t6
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAk6fVxwLfH2
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
64Please respect copyright.PENANATmx99tcXxy
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAR8NL7PsSg0
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANADjwyJBgkq4
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANABuTW238yfB
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAZB4OOlu18z
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAYr1UOV1dK7
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA79iC961Zfi
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAq1nN5nJg9i
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANADNOsgXh5Sd
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAQYP42PTrOl
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAPD63voTyIU
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
64Please respect copyright.PENANACHt5KKzSji
Kaoru: “What the-”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAQD2A7VikEh
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAg9Q7UL6K10
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAGDdSPisclE
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAKS1LK7DRL8
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAgULlhlDuIs
Bakugo: “Tch”
64Please respect copyright.PENANA70spNwuF5N
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAqreSbqT4I1
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
64Please respect copyright.PENANA0HCt44TAit
Kaoru: “Huh?”
64Please respect copyright.PENANA1hIdrVHrro
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAdcnfTjWD6D
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANARAxm3P3e2W
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAZPIQyXaZTc
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
64Please respect copyright.PENANArXNW1LU9bJ
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6zTqLn1Oq
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAgC4LovPiph
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAQw8JLkRib3
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAws0CzQgaoJ
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAfCaVEYjNk2
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAv9T3MoteMA
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAt4jTnC1mwo
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA0YqFdTQAHh
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAy8MNXV2Rb6
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA9sBcXEyANc
Izuku: “Gah!
64Please respect copyright.PENANAKkh5ebblpH
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAvA4JBWCj4X
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAn0pB5nWtUq
Izuku: “Ashido!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAAEyH4TVspv
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
64Please respect copyright.PENANATrLwTRTmxw
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAZeTcdrzM5v
Izuku: “Hurry!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAnZGov2SwdQ
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA9IlRDCbPfu
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA9AVyF3SLer
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA5Okv73Nj64
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAWbrtXAnrAU
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAIyRj1TqGNW
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
64Please respect copyright.PENANAToTop5mMfV
Kiri: “Onii.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAW7uOuHRfId
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAyXtyEoftsG
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAA4C8NlczOT
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAJqsb06D1Yx
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANA4gQWLaVRBY
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAW9vGAqBbR9
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAzO2L9Nr7wO
Kiri: “Izu… ”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAu73NzDbVez
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAmaqhtZtufg
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAnhvWLR8DGh
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAkFguK19eTe
Kiri: “Wha-”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAS03sIJBYth
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANABY5I9QFmpz
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAACTiTjlk6q
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAsSf6iXW7jq
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!!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANA494da1dE0K
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAwd3dsJSrOT
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAQOexLpRZ95
Sabrina: “Did we?”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAOO5nnZvJal
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA1y9TphWxtQ
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANABme3Tpsy34
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8pX1wpYol
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA3gHzO5IdJG
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAAY0raDk1tw
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA9uTWdIfxzm
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
64Please respect copyright.PENANARX9O4RqcKV
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAdZy7fvfy9M
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAYZp9QFrFI9
BOOOM!!
64Please respect copyright.PENANA5rkGPIbD3e
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAT0UduXzEmN
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAx5XcsmnMB9
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
64Please respect copyright.PENANArMYNOW2KMU
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAqpahwR0FLu
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAoIgCy3bblv
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!!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANA0L6IOqvP19
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAPKavWd0FKU
Kaoru: “Ready?”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAzV8NFFRRzn
Momo: “Yes!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAlQZRlI0QTg
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
64Please respect copyright.PENANATALKZeF7S8
Sabrina: “Lock!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAuy0mltAkqb
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAuLjQiXj3L6
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAFgwHkxj297
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA9JTCetETC2
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
64Please respect copyright.PENANAeab1TTpmDE
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAJbmz98fDHX
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
64Please respect copyright.PENANAqqUgUAswKa
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA711VsUw8vG
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANA61iZPtLMQO
Kiri: “Uh.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAh4I4dwnm6v
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAWH84Kw9LG9
Boom!
64Please respect copyright.PENANARlVtAxdl0c
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAtIwetEcjqN
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAxJGsiT4CIN
This was it!
64Please respect copyright.PENANAncqAY1HbsT
She was going to-
64Please respect copyright.PENANAZs0rZoHteL
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAiyL1XpFY5S
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAAnFKxmYYAe
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
64Please respect copyright.PENANATUeN4zTRMd
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAz81B6SGNBR
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAkhsCCFftuc
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
64Please respect copyright.PENANA8tGYf2Jhq4
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAc0mK1wwDFI
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)
64Please respect copyright.PENANAakm3nPkRm7
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAhENolHbmq2
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAWq67SiRSZG
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAWSvJRrgope
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ8LNR40Ug
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAnycpaZfQ88
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAlElnkCX82c
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAhu41Vch6aU
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?”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAOUUWMy2RMv
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANALxPcN3EFAY
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ3jyT6ihz
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
64Please respect copyright.PENANAfHJRFtjrVI
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAIcUjbpg0sl
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAbTfPuf9zK8
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.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAfOlheSpuZt
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
64Please respect copyright.PENANAdkcFvpk2tb
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!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAdrKX2PCxVD
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!!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANATYElebapSy
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAxmQMNNrd9j
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAQvgVd7pTIu
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
64Please respect copyright.PENANA7vWiaOfcI6
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.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAOO3JpcyIBj
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAcSlNcSRCLr
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
64Please respect copyright.PENANA2fk4cs1K4F
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAei8GZF7A9Z
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAxKOLIN4uAs
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
64Please respect copyright.PENANAFm0epbpIaF
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAhOBpbfeu3M
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
64Please respect copyright.PENANAml0JB53OAh
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
64Please respect copyright.PENANA0dp8Mn7W7D
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
