No one moved.

Clang.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAIT9qLYQLib
How could they?
284Please respect copyright.PENANAeN8lDHZIHj
Clang
284Please respect copyright.PENANAfYOQ98J4Vh
Their bodies were constricted by some force.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAcPuBMhiA20
Clang
284Please respect copyright.PENANA3BclkFZPla
Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAlTzzTLZW9r
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAWHEy5NcEL0
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAqXJEppvGv9
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAORaSZP3x19
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
284Please respect copyright.PENANASQsXV9NI9R
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA3c3xKMZxfj
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAPeu2Fp0Akg
Mina: “Aw, man!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAd1eMSKNrPU
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAQPuuwh5cVH
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAFOttNULrV9
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAxXlyQZceBi
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAPmJu5QiBsl
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAfS9Ki4jJrv
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAK4TdMNcDcz
Sabrina: “Hm.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAVtx4q5cbXr
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAglidw2u300
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAxGDBY0AD6n
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
284Please respect copyright.PENANADnY4K26uvU
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAs1wEkuLyex
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!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAtkV3RaT3OI
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA8TQ2dgDNBH
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
284Please respect copyright.PENANASIr2st7duJ
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAvu8Zkf2fif
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAfdiX6u9Rw1
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAMmLxgh2hW3
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAu5VplUcDqZ
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAtxkKhaR5r7
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA8LhvNadxHx
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAU9IgLSQVFU
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANATPmVowl4d9
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAXgYipEIJI8
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAa1zKDHpxre
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAWleRO3krMm
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAFRCiQL5T3p
Kaoru: “What the-”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA6vX0HNFhE9
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAqkxUcJcQE9
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA9yBRLjMoC7
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjfbFBwlQmg
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3FWJPhOh7
Bakugo: “Tch”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA7dJhGZgWuD
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAaAqzzD1brh
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAdMYUgU9RJ8
Kaoru: “Huh?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAp2GSotDTP3
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAfkojoXPxQD
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA8b4Eq8EY6F
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAm9LD4p5m9p
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAvRzswm8Px3
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAnTbKOwMtfH
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAM2ZerkyW7o
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAq3OwT8YIx4
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA1M0sOeQZmU
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAi15Cr2WU1S
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAJfMtVJBJLK
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAhKWbFIQTim
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA8AA00MmEJO
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAvHFtn53Oky
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAmz8zR1qga5
Izuku: “Gah!
284Please respect copyright.PENANAxRTNEDIHDL
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAmJHpIuab7q
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAnxZ8mrHXvE
Izuku: “Ashido!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAT5jOxLcY0d
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA99NMUXuDa5
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAuPR7yxaWTp
Izuku: “Hurry!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANACermfBBz4b
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAGq76Cb0qjj
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANACPlFeWVbLU
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAmN6chEvhiz
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
284Please respect copyright.PENANADvgX3VgEN2
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAxYeeMQgr8E
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
284Please respect copyright.PENANACBl4UHNUuZ
Kiri: “Onii.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANARuwGjHaZWp
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAcOXqQXUT7z
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAmAAQWv8WSU
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAv0a9gFgWpO
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANABePRU7BoRb
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAehSngaaOIo
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAzyALHPjxjj
Kiri: “Izu… ”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA6COPUbRVqO
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAbLd1CnnpdC
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAs0u68AR66i
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAxRlUuvXSCf
Kiri: “Wha-”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAR90U6k4rn9
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA09wUypCaKi
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAN8cIU9qHpZ
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAwgmZLHPdGk
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!!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANARE2VyTgtO9
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAEIOHmZMjhC
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAe5hWvbgr7c
Sabrina: “Did we?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAWUOx8rkert
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAkgrhApK8bB
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA4kT0lkbfMb
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAnnkN70Y1GJ
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA393IDz10TY
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAbtT9Hgqxgm
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAe4dktIccQw
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
284Please respect copyright.PENANANcsNIfsQqo
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAMatSVUhr1b
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAnPto9H99ay
BOOOM!!
284Please respect copyright.PENANAfrhbktDGwz
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAKHnopnamtW
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAwov5yTS1a6
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
284Please respect copyright.PENANALDalG9vAaR
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAJLBrDzF5CL
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAaQqxCOtTm4
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!!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAhAAdGvVI18
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANApBL5rs2Dl3
Kaoru: “Ready?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAudPv3wWv4X
Momo: “Yes!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjTxKvL9xy6
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAH5DCRt5vKu
Sabrina: “Lock!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAf9eI2hZ3Rq
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA6iDr1T1r3i
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAZL5Ji5yYyj
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
284Please respect copyright.PENANACcSpir0duK
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAa9mmBSEOn8
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA6IReiMkOm7
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
284Please respect copyright.PENANAbmsE4Leu0r
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjmwPkiBccm
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAVd2QxsLxwY
Kiri: “Uh.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAPXJqer1DAJ
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAMolPObgErs
Boom!
284Please respect copyright.PENANAUqziyqhGxy
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAQwRUtUJnf3
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAY7rqFd7ICZ
This was it!
284Please respect copyright.PENANAMuKmTCiigi
She was going to-
284Please respect copyright.PENANAfeI6Hk3QBU
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAhre33RWnRu
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAvh0GeW1Lfy
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
284Please respect copyright.PENANAXKF269PMaD
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
284Please respect copyright.PENANABfV5XrRxo8
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA3GbZRKq530
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAw5M1INZVdE
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA6s43gE6uea

5. Kiri Tae (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)
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjiNof31o2T
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAWfXCZeKXJL
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAqkNj2zvUfk
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA16MIoOR6fh
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA60Rl7vBghA
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAQg3bBMTOON
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANArxJxaduZuD
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAYVrBJwqrl6
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?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANANbU0d2pZok
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAr2ZnMl6kQp
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAw6sVCJRWer
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAtr9kWYfKvQ
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAY55dJIVKhK
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAJbTUJPIpdH
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAoyqcXcWxuF
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANA1XkwFyXTLN
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!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAC77sC764YX
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!!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA0zOZZL1C7u
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAy3XvOz6xJE
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAUYGOz0PJlf
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAOi8DatBoUi
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.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANANOF4o9CKpQ
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAFM5UaQmDRr
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjXqwQRPoQd
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAgHxLZIRwKw
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAkdVWIcfQqv
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA9SVBWJTvw4
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA4EhJYPWSo6
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAmpdXtTSE3T
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjtSaMZ2RN5
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
