Everyone had 15 minutes to gather their teammates. While they did that, the rest of the rules were laid out.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKwqDfFiPc
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcBM2nVpJL
The fourth one was added for those with psychic quirks. After Tatsumaki soloed this entire event, this role was created.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ954wEPMpRc
As for the team formations, Momo was watching as the teams quickly formed.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh81M4rOfHC
Bakugo was pretty popular and ended up with Mina, Kirishima, and Sero.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gSwaJYU19
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOGbZ067kh
As expected, Aoi teamed up with her closest friends: Kaoru, Shiho, and Sabrina.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E5NXVDp2z
Finally, the team Momo was conflicted on. She wanted to join Izuku, but what Ida said to him stuck with her.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeRfawEwlV
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.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh9QZ487pR
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?
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8WDW7MPrw
In the end, thanks to her indecision, Izuku formed his team: Kiri, Uraraka, and Tokoyami.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNRyumlrAO
So where does that leave Momo? Well, not alone, to her pleasant surprise.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjNXGgLa6l
Mei: “Let’s team up!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpyswlN5Ys
Momo: “Huh!?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczI58Sme0p
That girl from before was right in her face with a manic grin. Momo took a step back from the possibly insane girl.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnhbZnFQ5w
Momo: “Team up? With me?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGWV8z3O6J
Mei: “Of course! Your creation in the race was almost as great as my babies! Your quirk is the ability to create things, right!?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5TqY1Q7w5
Momo: “Y-Yes.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx245BwNiN
Mei: “Excellent! Together, we can create even more amazing babies!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iRp0dpm1Y
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u2AO7yI81
Momo: “B-Babies? I-”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwsSrCyWL0
Jiro: “I think she means her support gear.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKrcuWAqHm
Momo: “Kyoka!?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKHFK1sh4A
And alongside her was Denki, who was smiling at Mei’s antics.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhrV90EaWB
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!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYuB6Xitde
Denki: “Trying to get the attention of some big shot, huh!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0CiRMQSD7
Mei: “Yes!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0izofCnBh
Momo: “I see… well, I won’t turn you away if you want to team up with me. Kyoka, did you… find a team?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs064PVJCid
Jiro: “No, that’s why we’re here. Want to team up?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CGiJnOrvy
Momo: “Y-Yes! Thank you.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynK8b6jJtQ
Denki: “We should be thanking you. With you, I think we have a chance to win.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi7Huy1Zoq
Jiro: “You’re just saying that because she’s the only one that can protect the rest of us from your lightning.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUNwGbfqD2
Denki: “Yeah, but I still want to team up with her.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8r4AmlWoH
Jiro: “I saw you eyeing Todoroki before I dragged you over here, dummy.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UQQ3nYCwq
Regardless of the reasons, Momo is happy that she got a team that believes in her.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUV3VYolNo
Momo: ‘This time, for sure. We even teamed up before during the villain attack…’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0HmF553zX
But it wouldn’t have ended well if not for the Pro Hero Snipe.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOBPYTALe9
Momo: ‘No, don’t think about it. We can do this.’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D0EicoOEx
Teams decided and horse formation created, the time had come.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnUSzi97rj
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!!”

124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cM0tWlMFp
Todoroki: “Just one target.”

124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk5QjLwe4P
Izuku and Momo look at their targets from the rider position.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJq0xn0CYy
Izuku’s team points: 660
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMsawRtELe
Momo’s team points: 425
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B16lLPQp8
START!
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi4Ei6B3yF
Kaoru: “Bring it on!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUYjsLTUht
Aoi’s team points: 10 mil and 475
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJJDeOi8WX
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVinWunS9JY
Sabrina: “I’ll keep him distracted. Do your thing, Kaoru.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAeAnVqckh
Kaoru: “Yeah!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oir4SPNKT
But before Kaoru, the front legs of the horse, can charge in, her legs are submerged underground.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIKEXpunrM
Kaoru: “Houenuki!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfKHq7u517
She looks at the approaching Todoroki team and the seemingly guilty Houenuki.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssbHffOn9J
Aoi: “All’s fair and all that?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvK0ADKGUo
Shiho: “Watch out!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnXVtitBgE
Aoi turns just in time to see Bakugo, off his horse, aiming straight for her headband.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVGwKPAd77
Bakugo: “Die!!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbC4A2UdrP
Right before defeat claimed them, Aoi teleported the entire team feet away.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyAL92daiE
Bakugo: “Wha-”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3o5r0kOc9
Before Bakugo falls to the ground, he is retrieved by Sero’s tape.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtt9km4QgW
Present Mic: “What do we see heeeere!! The rider can detach from the horse!? That’s allowed!?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbpQrn2obX
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!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueiuGa821K
Five seconds is more than enough.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WuRN6WkC6
A flash of green later, and Aoi is once again in danger of losing her headband.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwsMump9AB
Sabrina: “Foolish, lock.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfLOMEOhql
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCfs61yOAk
Kaoru: “Just keep him there for 5 seconds!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WOXLKnuXC
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAGGjdmGcp
Neito: “Like taking candy from a baby, class A.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5DcDB63fX
Bakugo: “What the fuck, fucking assrag piece of shit motherfucking fuck, give it back!! I’ll kill you!!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4qetyRYSP
Mina: “We’ve been had!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH4trG30O8
Neito: “You’re much too focused on the ten million. Not like you could take it from those girls anyway.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRI9TXGGWR
Kirishima: “The rest of class-B is surrounding us!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1ix9KRPfZ
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.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EbImsxtXJ
Before Bakugo could explode in anger, another explosion shook the area.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGzJSN7mIE
A bloom of green light enveloped the area.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNRIhSyHmq
Sabrina: “Ugh!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt48T1LRdSZ
Izuku broke out the lock and teleported back to his horse, exhausted.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1JaumdZW6
Kiri: “Onii!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDGF5xsZ0e
Izuku: “Keep… moving!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA8XCGtLwc
As for Sabrina, she was forced to her knee, unbalancing the horse.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw2yr7pnRS
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPQMzThwWW
Todoroki: “Shiozaki!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MVXKWcWwI
A green vine shot straight for Aoi, and she couldn’t react in time. The vine got the headband and returned to her team.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKa99mTFgF
Aoi: “Darn it.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXIpATw7CN
Ibara: “Forgive me, miss Nogami.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVUlKQhFXw
Todoroki doesn’t give them a glance and returns to the battlefield.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4x7JWjLGY
Sabrina: “I’m sorry too. He… was stronger than I expected.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj66AdEdLH
Kaoru: “It’s not over yet! Come on!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8hBc9NPJD
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJH2lMJYjh
He’ll be sure to take that headband from halfnhalf, but for now… he’s free to enact some payback.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf891saV5Fk
Bakugo: “Kirishima, change of plans. Before Todoroki and Deku, let’s send these goddamn shitstains to some early graves!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNumgkV1ZJ
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfSLek5GBm
Back to the Todoroki, his team has become the target. But as long as he can keep the ten million, he wins.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr4BAjlgx6
Kaoru: “Stand still!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbitVJp9C0
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tgmlMbUm7
At this rate, time will run out and Aoi’s team will be at the bottom.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlPthDDwLn
Sabrina: “I may need to-”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCHVfkazxd
Kaoru: “No! Save it for later. I got this. Aoi, get ready, I’m going all in.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfC39MpB2z
Aoi: “Right!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlWgnZJ4td
Kaoru focuses while building up energy and enveloping her friends with protective shields.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjtwi3DZlF
Meanwhile, Dark Shadow knocks away more vines while Izuku prepares once more to teleport.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnn44NcFTB
Izuku: “Don’t worry, they don’t have anyone that can stop me. Kiri, Uraraka, are you ready?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoyTm3mmcw
Kiri, the front, nods while tensing her legs.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuBCNGRT7q
Uraraka: “Yep!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzDNKRESLL
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eGsh9grIP
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc7b4nNR55
Todoroki: ‘My left side… what am I doing!?’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSgYodnXmO
Ida: “Todoroki!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFuFcH1ggv
Still frozen by what he did, he was blindsided by Izuku’s strategy.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NOBfrJN5I
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXor8N9pjLh
Izuku teleported back onto his team, perfectly on time to snatch another headband from the other side of Todoroki.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2Os5rxAbz
Izuku: “Got it!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aOLitvNKv
Kiri kept the monument with a smile. But that’s when Kaoru saw her chance.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iIIqWcMRb
Kaoru: “Charge!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtiG2FHqwr
A blinding red light caught Izuku off guard and even shrunk Dark Shadow. The next instant, Izuku felt his headband come off.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdciJU5pz6
Aoi: “Thanks for your contribution.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NlEON6mCa
Before Kiri could turn the horse around to face their enemies, Aoi had already teleported away.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9ebuksuHc
Kiri: “Tch.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMrpYCZJnH
Uraraka: “It’s okay, we got the ten million.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajRmhA0KPc
Izuku: “No, we didn’t.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR7qKO3qBB
The esper looked at the headbands he got and saw numbers other than ten million.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiuDbnqqF1
Izuku: “It must still be on his neck. He shuffled them around.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhks3hgTRrU
Ida: “Pull your wits about you, Todoroki!! That was dangerous! And we’re not safe yet!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabDM0VmRIT
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMv9yjA5WJ
Present Mic: “TIME UP!!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIs4juEgkh
Bakugo fell out of the sky while Izuku squeezed his eyes in frustration. It was over.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFaKbsZuKw
Aoi: “Darn, we only ended up with Midoriya’s 660 headband.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1u5m0Uytu
Kaoru: “That’s not too bad.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOahpucTbNp
Sabrina: “We could have done better.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVPywP0GOS
Shiho: “Don’t blame yourself, Sabrina.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbETKuoGnJ
Sabrina: “I’m not. I’m only stating the fact that we could have done better.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMvnKPTn9P
She looks at Izuku and narrows her eyes.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60j4Ww9Qys
Sabrina: ‘Shame, I would have liked to challenge him again.’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLofX1hg8qf
Present Mic: “Now shall we see who our top 6 are!?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg5zQdNnpR
1. Team Todoroki
2. Team Yaoyorozu
3. Team Bakugo
4. Team Shinsou
5. Team Nogami
6. Team Midoriya
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o74KLXDs2
Sabrina: ‘Ah, never mind.’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuwx9OAkfn
Midoriya breathed a sigh of relief.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMZOZFxZ3y
Uraraka: “We made it!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wJwndD85a
Kiri: “Ih.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLXYqyCXLd
Tokoyami: “Indeed. Yaoyorozu’s team is a surprise, however.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIkzsG0jmX
Izuku looks at Momo and sends her mental congratulations.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbHrrbMAvB
Izuku: “Great job, Yaoyorozu!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZK5pKLvkS
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.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8y5ohOX7w
Izuku: “That’s fine! It was chaotic anyway; you made the right choice to stay out of it.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26BrrC8AFf
Momo: “… I suppose.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCSRB7Y1SH
Mei: “What are you spacing out for?!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW3rJ0eeqD
Momo: “O-Oh, sorry Hatsume.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0bNrJy5H4
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!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04jAPuEGtq
Momo: “I-I’m sorry.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoGCMVd8Lg
Jiro: “Ignore her, it’s fine, Momo. If we did it her way, we may not have made it.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pE8gpr57T
Momo: ‘You don’t think we could have won either… ’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXWxKVt1W5
As for Todoroki, he glares at his accursed arm.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS2C91xu0l
Todoroki: ‘I said I’d never use it. I made a promise to myself. But when I was threatened…’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCKdg0Ho0n
Todoroki: “I… I can’t let it go on like this… this is exactly what he wants…”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnejmgvWrBw
Present Mic: “The next event will be after lunch break! See you then!!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlY4FgUdsT
He turns to Izuku and walks towards him. There is much to discuss.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHtyJBDm9q
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOP0qgtBHN
Kiri: ‘So close… ’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeCKtUG9tn
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOLKQOSlgB
Maybe if she were on top, she could have gotten the ten million.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt3SVVM9Cb
Kiri: ‘No.’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6MQodA75O
There is no point in thinking about the past. She’ll do better next time. He needs her to be better.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaQsJyAfdI
Kiri: “Onii, let’s-”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycxg26umX9
Kiri: ‘Gone?’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUVrmrjQVZ
Uraraka: “Where’s Midoriya?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZT5UJwRyV
Kiri: ‘It seems I’m not the only one wondering. But I’m the only one that can find him.’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBPpv6Tnow
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq1BpmfHGy
But it would seem she wasn’t the only one who knew how to find her brother.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29xmLOF8kr
Kiri: “Bomb boy.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxFJg2hOAg
Bakugo: “Tch, ghost girl.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1peTdL70qD
The two glare at each other, but before they can throw any verbal blows, they hear Izuku.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtBdmK4mgL
Izuku: “So… what is it? What do you want to tell me? If we stay too long, it will get crowded.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup35BJzC5Z
Seeing that their objective is the same, the two call a truce, lean against the wall and listen.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKLwFy6kty
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.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJaNRCF87z
Izuku: “… What are you trying to say?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmGcTlkpKC
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?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0Pcrtoo60
Izuku: “… Huh?!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIL2M9j21B
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rREKMK9Ds
Izuku: “That’s not it at all! Their quirks may seem similar, but I promise you that is not the reason.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD97MgBeSM
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.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTb2i59C6I
Izuku: “… I do.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA09wKgUl0l
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.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡticPSZ4Y1K
That’s when Todoroki revealed his past. His father, the quirk marriages, and his mother…
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKFDdhVwnJ
Todoroki: “I’ll become number one, a hero, without needing to use his quirk. This is my total disavowal of him.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJz8AhwENg
Izuku and the two eavesdroppers stood shocked at his reason for reaching for number one. They all have different reasons for becoming a hero.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKJ5yJe5Te
To be the best.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48f4g5w4q6
To be a hero like All Might.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMjQNgF7VM
To stand alongside their family.

But those reasons feel… shallow somehow when compared to Todoroki’s. However, that won’t stop them from fighting and reaching that coveted pedestal.

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.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGOBdR12jk
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.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj53Eus0l4j
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.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi5PQHh6AJ
His eyes glow green as he stares into Todoroki’s.

Izuku: “I’m going to beat you!”

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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5w1VzaoG6
But deep down, very deep down, he can respect Izuku for his words. That won’t change the end result, though.

Bakugo: ‘I’ll be the one to win this with a complete victory. I’ll be number one.’
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLKVnewGF7
Bakugo goes to leave for the mess hall. His movement catches Kiri’s eye.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpdOvrDBbz
Kiri: “Bomb boy?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQuCPJaGT4
Bakugo: “I’m leaving. There is nothing else to see.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU9Ga0qxeY
Kiri: “…Nh.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj4ZxYYO0i
After making sure Bakugo and Todoroki were gone, Kiri decided to join Izuku. But just then, they both got a mental message.

Tatsumaki: “Kiri! Izuku! Follow my psychic signature; we’re having lunch!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XBAJ9ALgO
Izuku: “C-Coming!”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnSLoqZocP
Kiri: “Sugar cubes?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZoKC2bHgH
Tatsumaki: “Of course.”

The whole family was eating their lunch together in the elevated. Izuku made sure to tell Momo mentally where they were so no one was worried.

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.

Izuku: ‘I have to get this under control. I miss Phoenix; she was so much simpler. But I can’t see her until I master this phase… apparently.’

Fubuki: “Izu, are you okay?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjGPUquOCy
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmx1lCR5R1
Izuku: “Y-Y-Yes, just thinking.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39I6gkFu5F

Tatsumaki: “Is it because of your placement? I told you, I’m not disappointed.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqobkkJFLGO

Tatsumaki: “It was stiff competition. Those girls with our type of quirk were surprising and impressive.”

Izuku: “I see…”

124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsZwpjEhK3
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.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBEUy4Qxmz
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjwRD1aonT
Izuku: “R-Right. We can do it.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxHchTrCgd

124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeO6YxhEG9
Fubuki still remembers the look she received from her older sister when she failed to get first place in the festival. Tatsu tried to soften it, but she could feel the disappointment.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtHGItD88Q
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqEgTbhqvX
She takes a breath and pushes those memories down.

Fubuki: ‘I’m stronger now. Besides, I’m sure Izuku or Kiri won’t have to face that.’

The rest of the lunch break went by quickly after that. Fully refreshed and filled with confidence thanks to his family, Izuku joined everyone back in the arena.

This was it, the last chance to claim the number one spot and impress the agencies watching. But with five espers in the running, how good are their chances really?
