No one moved.

Clang.

How could they?
118Please respect copyright.PENANAqVeWGrZm9O
Clang
118Please respect copyright.PENANAyxDSdnLGKw
Their bodies were constricted by some force.

Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAMfDhFXR8Xp
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAH2ZHMpbUFn
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAdsTqvYQynZ
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
118Please respect copyright.PENANAiBGqfjZk1S
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAtEnNW13OXg
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA8zDGZpAMEN
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANA8L9MLn0ju3
Mina: “Aw, man!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAi9d6LTCWfC
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAmV0AxTr59D
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAMhRUHgUtRZ
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAUHS5R3nWnz
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAuO0Hi2pHCu
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAQPLoOzd1P0
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA6ezcHhnUXk
Sabrina: “Hm.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAN8Dl8HscZL
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANA6NXcq5Wvez
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAjD1B2g9PVa
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAkHKlVtSlNZ
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAt3DFaunpze
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!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA9SoIYrLmZw
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAfH6DQDGAdX
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAh2xJmER7FC
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA42g1nsbOpB
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAa3pEuTuhsb
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAoqc9yEV4sy
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANA5z1nPWg381
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAF8pcESSyUg
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAJM0E50rAFM
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANA5nBUprQbqP
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAl3UGQf6H1s
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANA51i9VeMKV6
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAoHrapHz4If
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAP9Qa5p9AJW
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAExU4WVXLJQ
Kaoru: “What the-”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA1NzWkqURNN
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAA6jrUqt9nu
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAsWjLjdol60
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAkue0Noa2jj
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAv128RSD6b8
Bakugo: “Tch”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAzjF2pCB0Cm
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANApOxzXCgnXL
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANARZ1yFk4tri
Kaoru: “Huh?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAMsZVEi646J
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAckyWDzlzZg
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANADK0vBzNKIp
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAFquBHisrgf
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
118Please respect copyright.PENANATHLg2wXWs3
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAC9m22diiyb
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAyjjraVJyQl
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAeAou5jqcLR
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAl34cMTUXdh
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAo6uAI7BdvR
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAMeFM8k7bfA
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAMmiW2Fleg2
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAEbyBvXoPy5
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAdVXhdHaaVa
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAy3ULjYINt2
Izuku: “Gah!
118Please respect copyright.PENANADzp16KrVuo
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAzojUHBYM42
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAAsEMHnBpIB
Izuku: “Ashido!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA5PxFAqr5V6
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAear8RaMupd
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAFqjZiwy4bR
Izuku: “Hurry!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANApxFRZNbRgd
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAqLzCJVOS0p
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAgyVOdnpm1p
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAA5mJQCDiep
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAqOLSxlDhVa
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAVgHtWyPVsd
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
118Please respect copyright.PENANA733vjCPNaY
Kiri: “Onii.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANATYSzXORMT9
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAcXiiNyLktb
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAHmxCvN2FLl
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAcDKK8MiCNM
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAf72PpZjmm6
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANARsSvLZsFlB
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAIpMXF00L38
Kiri: “Izu… ”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAdElpCbx98e
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAoqRGObyFVq
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAvLnkIiWIlM
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAZydBlD3ezm
Kiri: “Wha-”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAIkM23mWOBG
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAjnWKnV0FYw
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAUl8DvOzWBg
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAojsXcjXp4n
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!!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAFkhepnJmk3
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAjRMe8wOhQ4
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ1xFfTPoU
Sabrina: “Did we?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAZJVHCjdbr2
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANARAkwxijRwY
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAs6gke5kSPE
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAA6sQ0HabI0
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAD0JbuZKA7S
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAm5gtVU8mUt
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAMSKuKBtVGQ
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAbJF8axktjG
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAFLOzJvL15Y
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
118Please respect copyright.PENANA0VtPmsuch2
BOOOM!!
118Please respect copyright.PENANARC3ABckU6C
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAwT0a1uZlRM
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAnWayzcqvEt
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAER9avWuxyc
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAGxrbGBDsTq
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA4PdOZyFC7c
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!!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANASxVAlkTWqH
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAhKziAczDGK
Kaoru: “Ready?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAMxdGw4LNRw
Momo: “Yes!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAXGnu09A405
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
118Please respect copyright.PENANADcD9fqEPer
Sabrina: “Lock!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA1ESSwWyMvm
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAO3zFVi7Qli
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAEaqlE3eccf
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAKGRgEHpizF
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
118Please respect copyright.PENANAeYzEP1hOku
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAoqZgfCAH88
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
118Please respect copyright.PENANAoDNYcejIYW
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAXCJP3WxPOK
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA1G8RcIoXlr
Kiri: “Uh.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAHTxBABDBz7
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANA6oVQRrELBL
Boom!
118Please respect copyright.PENANA5kgxKReRwv
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAEGMnYC8DQ9
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAP2dzSSGthT
This was it!
118Please respect copyright.PENANAj1UyUrEGaI
She was going to-
118Please respect copyright.PENANA355NU3PDPC
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAqgTethGIbq
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAqg5lNZ5ehD
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
118Please respect copyright.PENANAMIkQFVvjTm
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAKVGp3BEfH7
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAiYM12CPpCk
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
118Please respect copyright.PENANA8WOzMQxWRi
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA169IogRarv
1. Aoi Nogami (Class B)

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)

17. Tsuyu Asui (Class A)
18. Mezo Shoji (Class A)
19. Ochaco Uraraka (Class A)
20. Kyoka Jiro (Class A)
118Please respect copyright.PENANA3xT3s1OPgs
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAyFZY9oCzNg
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAWCDPNlySLn
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAIbLHMxqvvJ
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAtARU9im9J7
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAz5Bt2VYioO
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAeZLv7ymA0S
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAXNXMt4XZ3E
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?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA8BHd6foPgA
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAWky3DHYvLg
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAUf6Ci22eNa
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
118Please respect copyright.PENANAXVDKjJZ9yY
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANABUF8hpOl0L
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
118Please respect copyright.PENANABuNqRCcgC3
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAdCE8zCFFwo
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
118Please respect copyright.PENANAykGdMP1bMq
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!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA1VIXM5x00R
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!!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAzcJfwEwPWg
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAVAM2OGEXth
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAQsDEKHGbif
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANArLiyK5M8BG
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.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAwnDT8aj5aq
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAyuNPTHbCgb
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAIGEiv6RZAv
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAf3hjRe3IhZ
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAbynLesCqM1
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAXdFocg2mwl
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAsLzfnPB5VC
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA4NWUBlTkvj
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAgs76ptosOR
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
