No one moved.

Clang.
30Please respect copyright.PENANApMtHXjyBeE
How could they?
30Please respect copyright.PENANAYskYf11wbZ
Clang
30Please respect copyright.PENANAAcvm6QuMMV
Their bodies were constricted by some force.

Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAoZMNTugxBR
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAAeWpurG3KZ
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANANTvIK9quds
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
30Please respect copyright.PENANAgol5HK6iSg
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA5vhkqDFCwZ
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANALblXR6X4pZ
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANABWtSdaaUrC
Mina: “Aw, man!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAvlqdITiGC8
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANANMQ8qoj9wi
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAqUi7SjLbP9
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAsNbLWyK1hD
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA4zYD5lAahP
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAub9TVbdwJE
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAozxYTG3xwv
Sabrina: “Hm.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAMdC3gtsNf5
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA2wVzwlNdMk
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAjkYb3NhH4q
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAVp6N4VmO16
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAAHO4Vqquej
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!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAGMhN1kRkrj
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA7DEUR1UD8f
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAKE1D4QaUyN
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAKjnyqrUoaC
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAqUsrmFjRJ9
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAQ54PogaFeW
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAMHxfxGU7Se
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAkfjIKt9Q4j
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA0kR5IXsjCg
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANArFDQmn8fkV
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAubX6fjTypq
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANANdEBoLs2jU
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
30Please respect copyright.PENANASvJk2Fd2ud
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAy42kVSpDoM
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
30Please respect copyright.PENANApIgsI9d7Ba
Kaoru: “What the-”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAHXthhGrk1w
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA5ArHUYDXzw
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAIpOYRSYFQJ
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAUDV9j6izuQ
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA3iJLCfNRot
Bakugo: “Tch”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAoJuR74FMOZ
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA32eZ9HAbDq
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAPNfPTmY7rU
Kaoru: “Huh?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAdtez39UHSM
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA1pF1LWBRp6
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAKXX27HYehs
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAj8hkLyRFK0
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAdwCbMsMSRk
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAYvJAhxaYRQ
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA11s97jNXua
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANABfULVGpFxJ
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA0DlRp9QPFy
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAVcqHCIEm9k
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANARA2mKkQiNi
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA2uEPhorOqk
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAdfLlCB7UxT
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA76Z5OalaUv
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAG76wZl3a0w
Izuku: “Gah!
30Please respect copyright.PENANAOHmFLa6wJR
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAkTUdzy5Xvo
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAP3XkeNuKrh
Izuku: “Ashido!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANADikAK3VWVH
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
30Please respect copyright.PENANACWlosUD6Ds
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA47bGQvYT4A
Izuku: “Hurry!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAyY29zXKzqo
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANArowKODrIP5
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANArfDNTUBtBs
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANADARPJ3Vemu
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAMjxKiYtMzo
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAI685n1Z78M
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
30Please respect copyright.PENANAl5LX4qOLFk
Kiri: “Onii.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA5LlKqX5Qvx
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA76UMrcSV1U
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAaNjxognVAE
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAdicIpit6o1
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAFyzpE7lr8g
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANArGAWTLmeUt
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAsseblVhQLU
Kiri: “Izu… ”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAnprsMzpvyB
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAPfadskTpCB
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAkMReTOeJiO
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAFd8nBX87PF
Kiri: “Wha-”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAi9NveSOJQj
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAZEAnjjvyMk
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAQMq9y21pY5
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAHwJwiqNUXH
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!!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAeB2dBR2piP
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAU8Z08pp9m3
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAMAmlyEaQxP
Sabrina: “Did we?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANArllahUdXzI
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAJxpqTybzke
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAOfWKg1ZhfI
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAFD6YXOrZ50
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA14ExQhs3zU
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAO2i6yjx58y
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAvKWtZZHKuH
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAVzPie382wM
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAWf9VLrLOm2
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAEirxaKTVO3
BOOOM!!
30Please respect copyright.PENANATHOAPLR5LI
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
30Please respect copyright.PENANATZi17xdUqs
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANALlPzzPRmdS
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAvsSh3I1UN6
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAnLMSQhjced
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANATJRvLyOJcZ
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!!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAYsWlOcTylH
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA6PDfQPhqUY
Kaoru: “Ready?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAVwA2TZHjrj
Momo: “Yes!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAxj2R9nXY8W
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAebbhft486Y
Sabrina: “Lock!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAS8Td9FqkkC
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAj6PfSl42Ct
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAK4YC5noeja
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
30Please respect copyright.PENANANgewZA8idT
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
30Please respect copyright.PENANAAtpAXflUja
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAzxNyflChcr
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
30Please respect copyright.PENANAmMk1x3tT5W
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAZlkCvB8dgK
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA60jmTpDkQI
Kiri: “Uh.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA3TRzFvqyid
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAtGJheHdh1i
Boom!
30Please respect copyright.PENANAF5ttjMejXV
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAb1XJN7GApl
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAaudLOnz45R
This was it!
30Please respect copyright.PENANABo97H3GXDs
She was going to-
30Please respect copyright.PENANA6SzLOP0Ze2
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAwIMZ13BYSy
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAbWfDTSxOfl
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
30Please respect copyright.PENANAb1v8NDzjUY
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAArbji82PfX
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAPhP4Nsh9DQ
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA03z83D8wVQ
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAMxOyCh8zRr

2. Katsuki Bakugo (Class A)
3. Momo Yaoyorozu (Class A)
4. Izuku Midoriya (Class A)

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)

17. Tsuyu Asui (Class A)
18. Mezo Shoji (Class A)
19. Ochaco Uraraka (Class A)
20. Kyoka Jiro (Class A)
30Please respect copyright.PENANAhuLCAysL7U
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAwcEty2MwUt
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAUmcYI2sAAG
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAIeYVzy00Mb
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAFwQJsa9JuH
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ34jYIS06
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAjJiW35h9M8
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAAzqlQjYNkY
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?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANArhjI02KhCs
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAeMgUMyAim9
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAV5sA7DJmKD
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
30Please respect copyright.PENANARftxYpZDy4
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA5hbbC8pHbL
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAssoZyus5v0
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAmgLMuNsrHU
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
30Please respect copyright.PENANAmUNkecFRRI
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!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAlCFqz7X9OO
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!!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAVgNhCSitb4
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAxj5pDR4zd2
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAyNT2ucfu3Y
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANABbWFFfiVsq
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.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAiin1JrvY9V
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAihWB0eNona
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAG2fLyIACpy
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAjDgiU72ICx
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAROs51YpYiW
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAE0MhAupR4t
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANALFbEQRJZlc
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAz216in9KS6
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAymtb6ou16k
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
