Everyone had 15 minutes to gather their teammates. While they did that, the rest of the rules were laid out.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0txrdNOCn
The headband’s worth is equal to the total points of the horse’s members.
The rider may not equip their headband on any area besides above their neck.
Even if the team loses their headband or their horse crumbles, they’re not out.
Headbands can only be taken physically.
Only the top 6 teams will advance.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDj6xdxf1j
The fourth one was added for those with psychic quirks. After Tatsumaki soloed this entire event, this role was created.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmIrQkHUCY
As for the team formations, Momo was watching as the teams quickly formed.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfUVtmpzVi
Bakugo was pretty popular and ended up with Mina, Kirishima, and Sero.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBcY7kJkWU
Todoroki managed to get those close in his rankings, even if they were in class B. To challenge himself, Ida agreed to join with him alongside Ibara and Honenuki.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qawVShiWw
As expected, Aoi teamed up with her closest friends: Kaoru, Shiho, and Sabrina.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePlYMChyR4
Finally, the team Momo was conflicted on. She wanted to join Izuku, but what Ida said to him stuck with her.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuBWwM2o0a
Ida: “Ever since the entrance exam, I’ve been doing nothing but lose to you. You’re an amazing friend, but it’s precisely because of that fact that if I only ever follow you, I’ll never grow myself.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHS9UcRXjU
If she joined with Izuku, would she be preventing her own growth? Shouldn’t she also see him as a rival and challenge him again?
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6etgJWx6nD
In the end, thanks to her indecision, Izuku formed his team: Kiri, Uraraka, and Tokoyami.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNjezsR9on
So where does that leave Momo? Well, not alone, to her pleasant surprise.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jUNLHVy2z
Mei: “Let’s team up!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIBqsO2VRP
Momo: “Huh!?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIbMJu4VKM
That girl from before was right in her face with a manic grin. Momo took a step back from the possibly insane girl.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtG5xQ8xOQ
Momo: “Team up? With me?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uz8bumG5g
Mei: “Of course! Your creation in the race was almost as great as my babies! Your quirk is the ability to create things, right!?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGGOYN5oKX
Momo: “Y-Yes.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCH7Mul6ux
Mei: “Excellent! Together, we can create even more amazing babies!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ75UR9Z3GD
If the girl’s enthusiasm and invasion of personal space didn’t do it, that statement finished the job and painted Momo’s face red.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUZWpM5VGe
Momo: “B-Babies? I-”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxZNeonlLv
Jiro: “I think she means her support gear.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavb2QObodF
Momo: “Kyoka!?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qSkp7mTsD
And alongside her was Denki, who was smiling at Mei’s antics.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZHjOabhNz
Mei: “Correct! I’m Hatsume Mei of the Dept. of support! Not only will we create magnificent babies, but your position will be sure to draw attention to my super cute babies!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE7t4iy1fu
Denki: “Trying to get the attention of some big shot, huh!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVg6TKWRHg
Mei: “Yes!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNlov7J8hl
Momo: “I see… well, I won’t turn you away if you want to team up with me. Kyoka, did you… find a team?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej9g7aqx8Q
Jiro: “No, that’s why we’re here. Want to team up?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyLpIze1BS
Momo: “Y-Yes! Thank you.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSb83kL1td
Denki: “We should be thanking you. With you, I think we have a chance to win.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMWrRDcNJk
Jiro: “You’re just saying that because she’s the only one that can protect the rest of us from your lightning.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJAEbFaJ4j
Denki: “Yeah, but I still want to team up with her.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYyNk58hLc
Jiro: “I saw you eyeing Todoroki before I dragged you over here, dummy.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDViuNypztM
Regardless of the reasons, Momo is happy that she got a team that believes in her.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSfyRiUhBf
Momo: ‘This time, for sure. We even teamed up before during the villain attack…’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyQDDeiMCh
But it wouldn’t have ended well if not for the Pro Hero Snipe.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFhmG30msB
Momo: ‘No, don’t think about it. We can do this.’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEJCdqCCQl
Teams decided and horse formation created, the time had come.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNDf5slxXX
Present Mic “All right, have you all formed your teams?!! Well, you better have!! Let’s do it!! Let’s start the countdown to vicious clash!!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPJ8hE9wVv

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rbc42OgMW
Bakugo: “We’ve all got-”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz82vRALnm
Bakugo’s team points: 640
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwgX4Boqj4

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LGEDI5mJY
Todoroki: “Just one target.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIktbOCN7Sv
Todoroki’s team points: 670
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVScPGqkz8

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDSfyVeoVd
Izuku and Momo look at their targets from the rider position.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL75otEKRf
Izuku’s team points: 660
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQL6yTDplf
Momo’s team points: 425
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmzxV1XIuv
START!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAxhEZUDjc
Kaoru: “Bring it on!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzeA8XCqvS
Aoi’s team points: 10 mil and 475
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzcvF0C40S
The opening attack was instant; Sabrina’s eyes flashed red in an effort to lock everyone down. But as expected, Izuku counters with his own quirk.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKib3TWABPl
Sabrina: “I’ll keep him distracted. Do your thing, Kaoru.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUEM8W6fFR
Kaoru: “Yeah!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDk8ThDNxV
But before Kaoru, the front legs of the horse, can charge in, her legs are submerged underground.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWDV8hSEvg
Kaoru: “Houenuki!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxd3TVUfjv
She looks at the approaching Todoroki team and the seemingly guilty Houenuki.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yegyzchnQ
Aoi: “All’s fair and all that?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyqP4AMt2R
Shiho: “Watch out!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPHz4184qZ
Aoi turns just in time to see Bakugo, off his horse, aiming straight for her headband.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wqVUGZy2T
Bakugo: “Die!!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHvW8xatT4
Right before defeat claimed them, Aoi teleported the entire team feet away.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbFeDEbplc
Bakugo: “Wha-”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RbjOAQ5sF
Before Bakugo falls to the ground, he is retrieved by Sero’s tape.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHM4pBTvWt
Present Mic: “What do we see heeeere!! The rider can detach from the horse!? That’s allowed!?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E8IQKkehz
Midnight: “It’s only a technical; the rider’s just not allowed to plant their feet on the ground or stay airborne for more than 5 seconds!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTM72Q7tyW
Five seconds is more than enough.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWy5iE3z06
A flash of green later, and Aoi is once again in danger of losing her headband.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjrWNw3OdV
Sabrina: “Foolish, lock.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKMvhC6lZZ
Izuku is locked in place, right when he was about to grab the headband. He wasn’t fast enough to get the headband and block the lockdown.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwntKuCJrhC
Kaoru: “Just keep him there for 5 seconds!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPDGbouLjt
Bakugo glares at Deku’s risky maneuver. If Deku loses here, the person Bakugo lost to, what will that say about him? But before the explosive boy can charge in, he feels his headband being taken.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplhzyGm4S5
Neito: “Like taking candy from a baby, class A.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUywCG6sKy
Bakugo: “What the fuck, fucking assrag piece of shit motherfucking fuck, give it back!! I’ll kill you!!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3GE0Xfjug
Mina: “We’ve been had!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XBNL8G1w8
Neito: “You’re much too focused on the ten million. Not like you could take it from those girls anyway.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuupXZDKZIp
Kirishima: “The rest of class-B is surrounding us!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6JjDRsclz
Neito: “Ah, now that I look at you, aren’t you the victim of the sludge incident? Tell me all about it next time. How it must feel to be attacked by a villain once every year, I mean.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpGqNA0eaG
Before Bakugo could explode in anger, another explosion shook the area.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKjAIAcp9N
A bloom of green light enveloped the area.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93qNTDIsJX
Sabrina: “Ugh!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRbywmCH5e
Izuku broke out the lock and teleported back to his horse, exhausted.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhmL6FicTm
Kiri: “Onii!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vJCPvVFkz
Izuku: “Keep… moving!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjA12Kaink
As for Sabrina, she was forced to her knee, unbalancing the horse.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYP41dq2s1
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3UoTUeg9d
Todoroki: “Shiozaki!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt77pOv0lpl
A green vine shot straight for Aoi, and she couldn’t react in time. The vine got the headband and returned to her team.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvawSvE8qR
Aoi: “Darn it.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvktkTRNibj
Ibara: “Forgive me, miss Nogami.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfbyWFXlSU
Todoroki doesn’t give them a glance and returns to the battlefield.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIGlZdkVLo
Sabrina: “I’m sorry too. He… was stronger than I expected.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrheJELFdXo
Kaoru: “It’s not over yet! Come on!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzozo6bapTz
The once top team returns to the battlefield. Neito and Bakugo saw the whole thing. Bakugo couldn’t help but laugh at the turn of events.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukJbJamiFq
He’ll be sure to take that headband from halfnhalf, but for now… he’s free to enact some payback.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWPPzCFWIx
Bakugo: “Kirishima, change of plans. Before Todoroki and Deku, let’s send these goddamn shitstains to some early graves!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8TXLQHTvE
Neito gulps at the enraged Bakugo but keeps a calm facade up. After all, he’s sure his class can turn this around once more.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6DeB8Xfcn
Back to the Todoroki, his team has become the target. But as long as he can keep the ten million, he wins.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFeVjMlHKD
Kaoru: “Stand still!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vywf530qo
Thanks to Ida’s speed and Honenuki’s softening, they are able to avoid most attacks. Aoi is constantly teleporting out of the softening, and Izuku’s team has to defend against the vines from Ibara.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyT8aOhD68
At this rate, time will run out and Aoi’s team will be at the bottom.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMqwu6Yfbr
Sabrina: “I may need to-”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHVdGMkeqM
Kaoru: “No! Save it for later. I got this. Aoi, get ready, I’m going all in.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRZ8IWhDyc
Aoi: “Right!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1CVgIzXV3
Kaoru focuses while building up energy and enveloping her friends with protective shields.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXtc4NLrqp
Meanwhile, Dark Shadow knocks away more vines while Izuku prepares once more to teleport.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gw4mCxJJ9
Izuku: “Don’t worry, they don’t have anyone that can stop me. Kiri, Uraraka, are you ready?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZep0ACmIbm
Kiri, the front, nods while tensing her legs.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLBnQ0hbxe
Uraraka: “Yep!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvjPQ29vkn
Grasping his chance, Izuku teleports again. Todoroki sees it coming, but it doesn’t change the fact he can barely react to it. Izuku appears behind him, aiming for the one million around his neck.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7sQFXdWMX
Instinctively, Todoroki uses his flaming side to try and deter Izuku. But being an esper, Izuku is able to mentally push aside his arm and grab one of the headbands around Todoroki’s neck before teleporting away.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTQrwDwC5n
Todoroki: ‘My left side… what am I doing!?’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOgBMgrVJb
Ida: “Todoroki!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmnfnRfaV5
Still frozen by what he did, he was blindsided by Izuku’s strategy.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiHpbKgqfF
Kiri was already moving when Izuku teleported. She was much faster thanks to Uraraka making their team weightless. Tokoyami dealt with the vines while Kiri charged forward into position.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqomMgoasE
Izuku teleported back onto his team, perfectly on time to snatch another headband from the other side of Todoroki.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmzoOZEorZ
Izuku: “Got it!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNm4p4EIkC
Kiri kept the monument with a smile. But that’s when Kaoru saw her chance.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGthrEKhGO
Kaoru: “Charge!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsP2zWv1Qm
A blinding red light caught Izuku off guard and even shrunk Dark Shadow. The next instant, Izuku felt his headband come off.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiPet6hXsY
Aoi: “Thanks for your contribution.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPdsXo6Im8
Before Kiri could turn the horse around to face their enemies, Aoi had already teleported away.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAVU4diOkY
Kiri: “Tch.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpAPq9mYUD
Uraraka: “It’s okay, we got the ten million.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKEYn8sETe
Izuku: “No, we didn’t.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQAG1fRjWM
The esper looked at the headbands he got and saw numbers other than ten million.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jIkJHxORQ
Izuku: “It must still be on his neck. He shuffled them around.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng3PcxgtFX
Ida: “Pull your wits about you, Todoroki!! That was dangerous! And we’re not safe yet!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2sPk17Ixh
Todoroki snaps out of it and sees Izuku’s and Aoi’s team charging him. He also hears explosions coming from above. He breathes cold air, ready to freeze them and collect their headbands afterwards.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gJjzQpP3k
Present Mic: “TIME UP!!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hrxqfWUSU
Bakugo fell out of the sky while Izuku squeezed his eyes in frustration. It was over.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuDFZuJcE8
Aoi: “Darn, we only ended up with Midoriya’s 660 headband.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7LlwK66hA
Kaoru: “That’s not too bad.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs2xL4XXKK
Sabrina: “We could have done better.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd9aTHWpX6
Shiho: “Don’t blame yourself, Sabrina.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiMtoyB1u4
Sabrina: “I’m not. I’m only stating the fact that we could have done better.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl6dktRFYK
She looks at Izuku and narrows her eyes.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcySfv3fvwX
Sabrina: ‘Shame, I would have liked to challenge him again.’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbsYncxz5H
Present Mic: “Now shall we see who our top 6 are!?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOz4yIVhXX
1. Team Todoroki
2. Team Yaoyorozu
3. Team Bakugo
4. Team Shinsou
5. Team Nogami
6. Team Midoriya
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdzvbOfbSq
Sabrina: ‘Ah, never mind.’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dp9v2Jfaa
Midoriya breathed a sigh of relief.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoWS55riCx
Uraraka: “We made it!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7KjaDKwaZ
Kiri: “Ih.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLOEqHLeom
Tokoyami: “Indeed. Yaoyorozu’s team is a surprise, however.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj8LRqcxf1
Izuku looks at Momo and sends her mental congratulations.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ6BMudU20
Izuku: “Great job, Yaoyorozu!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtJ5eK8v67
Momo: “M-Midoriya! T-Thank you, but I still missed first place. I was so focused on gathering extra headbands that I missed my chance to go for the ten million.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4jwsQN9Z3
Izuku: “That’s fine! It was chaotic anyway; you made the right choice to stay out of it.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThc3K7TsVf
Momo: “… I suppose.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2BDBmqJ2C
Mei: “What are you spacing out for?!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy6YWi0CNY
Momo: “O-Oh, sorry Hatsume.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rzCjrrfhI
Mei: “This was a great chance to test some of my babies, but we didn’t get to shine as much as I liked. I need to make up for it with the next event!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsHvmbF1Ef
Momo: “I-I’m sorry.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSLZbPbw8R
Jiro: “Ignore her, it’s fine, Momo. If we did it her way, we may not have made it.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lMLHIWqrO
Momo: ‘You don’t think we could have won either… ’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS8ddtWwwL
As for Todoroki, he glares at his accursed arm.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPaKv3mFht
Todoroki: ‘I said I’d never use it. I made a promise to myself. But when I was threatened…’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Qh1WcSui
Todoroki: “I… I can’t let it go on like this… this is exactly what he wants…”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7y4oB0SuX
Present Mic: “The next event will be after lunch break! See you then!!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheoyF8RpvR
He turns to Izuku and walks towards him. There is much to discuss.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7TX4nLTYA
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNszsydb5Y
Kiri: ‘So close… ’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphLzECbOMj
She and her onii-chan were so close to failure. She could have reacted better to Akashi. She could have insisted on being on top instead; maybe then Izuku would have put himself at risk.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdzSwcq1tK
Maybe if she were on top, she could have gotten the ten million.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEevmwVHziK
Kiri: ‘No.’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKhpTpbriM
There is no point in thinking about the past. She’ll do better next time. He needs her to be better.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCUfLIMJB8
Kiri: “Onii, let’s-”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqFfLfMtyq
Kiri: ‘Gone?’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmWGz09SZP
Uraraka: “Where’s Midoriya?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpxg6v2tgN
Kiri: ‘It seems I’m not the only one wondering. But I’m the only one that can find him.’
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukOTbh83eF
Kiri slips from the group heading to the mess hall and follows Izuku’s psychic signature. It didn’t take her long; it was in one of the hallways.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTApNCVY8G
But it would seem she wasn’t the only one who knew how to find her brother.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1gkGCFylq
Kiri: “Bomb boy.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIljlMtusR
Bakugo: “Tch, ghost girl.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWhSnOi4kY
The two glare at each other, but before they can throw any verbal blows, they hear Izuku.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFesoMS8IDs
Izuku: “So… what is it? What do you want to tell me? If we stay too long, it will get crowded.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HXhsO3iLQ
Seeing that their objective is the same, the two call a truce, lean against the wall and listen.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hfHNbzMp7
Todoroki: “Your quirk… overwhelmed me enough to force me to break my pledge. I’m… one of the few to have seen your full power. That power and the quirk your sister has, they both remind me of people we both know.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokHtM9kHDq
Izuku: “… What are you trying to say?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfGDxSIZyO
Todoroki: “I just find you and your sister interesting. I know you’re related to Tornado, and Tae is apparently adopted. More than that, you both caught All Might’s eye. Which leads me to my question; is your sister All Might’s Illegitimate child, and did he ask the number two hero to take care of it?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCEPamnpff
Izuku: “… Huh?!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsPgWCORw1
Bakugo looks at Kiri with wide eyes; considering her strength, it might not be far off. But Kiri shakes her head violently, denying such ridiculous claims.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRlT74Odn9
Izuku: “That’s not it at all! Their quirks may seem similar, but I promise you that is not the reason.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIeEoBofE3
Todoroki: “The way you said that, ‘That’s not it’. In other words, there is a connection between you all. Something you can’t talk about. Whatever that might be, you must know about my father, Endeavor.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItlfSmabE9
Izuku: “… I do.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2MArBgpyJ
Todoroki: “He was the number two hero forever, and then your sister comes in and drops him to third place. You’re not only connected to the person who did that, but to All Might, the person he wants to surpass more than anything. Because of this, I need to win all the more.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Eq8nKhE2
That’s when Todoroki revealed his past. His father, the quirk marriages, and his mother…
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuvsgnpV2v
Todoroki: “I’ll become number one, a hero, without needing to use his quirk. This is my total disavowal of him.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lYlK2FIPU
Izuku and the two eavesdroppers stood shocked at his reason for reaching for number one. They all have different reasons for becoming a hero.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRnFQcNrLI
To be the best.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvIrPDOdb2
To be a hero like All Might.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOMnGS9uU5
To stand alongside their family.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX7vyCS2Fp
But those reasons feel… shallow somehow when compared to Todoroki’s. However, that won’t stop them from fighting and reaching that coveted pedestal.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiyeOlPLBG
Todoroki: “If you can’t tell me anything, that’s fine. You two can keep being All Might’s something-or-other. I’ll overcome you two using only my right side.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDapQNR8SM
Izuku: “My… reason for reaching number one may not be as good as yours. I want to be like All Might, to stand next to my sisters with pride. I need to… master and… control my quirk for that to happen.”

Izuku: “It may be a poor, and maybe even a selfish motive compared to yours. Even so, I can’t lose. For those that believe in me, to pay back my family for taking care of me when I was quirkless. So I’ll echo your declaration of war.”

His eyes glow green as he stares into Todoroki’s.

Kiri closes her eyes and smiles at his words. She won’t disappoint him either; she’ll try her best. As for Bakugo, his gaze is blank so as not to give anything away to Kiri.

He shakes his head when hearing that rare voice. Out of all the main ones, his hurt Izuku’s head the most. So many strange voices overlayed onto the main sickening one.He always comes around when Izuku wants to do something creative or expand his mental abilities.

Tatsumaki: “That being said, I still expect you two to come out on top in the next event. Sabrina seems like a glass cannon; overwhelming force may help. That Akashi girl is strong but she is reckless, I’m sure you two can outsmart her.”
