Izuku had watched all the matches that came before and was glad so many of his classmates passed. But he could barely focus due to his own teammates.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1skyy6var
They hovered around each other, unable to say a word to one another. Uraraka at least tried to make a conversation with Izuku, but he wasn’t really in the mood either.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHvUZI6Zir
When the time came for the three of them to stand ready for their exam, Izuku found himself in the middle. Bakugo to his right and Uraraka to his left.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw0uGigonk
Uraraka: “What do we do, Midoriya? We’re fighting All Might. All Might!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7OKfcdM4l
The boy cups his chin and contemplates the strange test.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4YO8SHOPx
Izuku: ‘It… doesn’t really make sense. Not for me.’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9wazcdTxs
The boy knows how powerful he is and won’t sugarcoat it. He could easily pass this test.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4FPA9VSdT
Flight, teleportation, illusions, and more. There are too many ways for him to bypass All Might. Even if he had to bring Uraraka and Bakugo with him, he could do it.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY8lMERl2r
Hell, he could probably beat All Might… maybe.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzhKNA3W5C
Izuku: ‘So what are they really testing? What is the secret criteria?’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXX6R25Ok7
It was then that Bakugo decided to walk towards the gate.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4inDjHRTJ
Uraraka: “W-Wait a minute, where are you going?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Ef2BHwkx
Bakugo: “It’s obvious; I’m going to knock him out!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8ZZurPSEB
Uraraka: “Are you serious? Knock out All Might?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdJXKK1lDm
Bakugo: “I’ll lead him around by the nose until the final moments. And then I’ll smash him when he’s tuckered out! Me!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bmKKRG7Mc
Izuku: ‘Ah… that’s the criteria… how well we can work together despite the tension. Maybe even rebuild bridges… if that’s even possible.’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o4vFyTEEc
Izuku: “Bakugo, this test is supposed to show how well we work together. Not-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3NUDyVZUy
Bakugo: “Shut it, Deku! Just because you beat me doesn’t mean I will take orders! I’ll defeat All Might!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKVFMQ0qAV
Izuku: “And what will that prove!? You think beating him will mean you’ll be number 1 one day? Wrong! You still need to beat me.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf2vD3KOo8
Bakugo: “You-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5PIlqi1bP
Uraraka: “Wait, wait, wait! You two fought!? Was that the noise I heard last nig-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1CVrZJFbe
A large explosion in the distance echoed across the city the second before a wave of force met the trio. Izuku teleported to the front and put up an emerald shield with one hand.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU3MWTQ3RZ
As expected, even Izuku couldn’t fully block even a casual strike from All Might. Before his eyes, cracks start to form on his shield.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQs9SgA80M
Before he needed to use both hands, the winds died down to reveal the nearly destroyed building around them. All of that just from one punch from All Might.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoyK3qU9Xp
Uraraka: “This is crazy… ”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXm6j3Jg4N
Izuku: “It’s not over.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0GVCni7Rw
Out of the smoke emerges All Might, giving the kids a more sinister version of his iconic smile.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU3ymV418O
All Might: “If you’re thinking of this as just a test, then you’re in for a world of pain. I am a villain, oh heroes. Come at me and put your whole hearts into it!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAplDBrwWD9
And so he comes, barreling towards the weakest of three at incredible speeds. Uraraka, still stunned by All Might’s power and what she heard from her teammates, was unable to move.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LyDiRbAml
You’d expect Izuku to save her, but to everyone’s surprise, it was Bakugo to push her out of the way and counter.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPIHIY7OSk
Bakugo: “Stun Grenade!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2URwzRm7JD
Temporarily blinded, Bakugo was free to charge his idol and highest aspiration. But a blinded All Might is still All Might. The pro hero grabbed Bakugo’s face, but instead of instinctively trying to escape, Bakugo leaned in and released several explosions.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmYggJDEJc
All Might: “Ow! Ow! Ow! That stings.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSCDov4tgz
Tired of that, All Might slammed Bakugo into the ground. But before he can follow up, All Might is pushed back by a force push from Izuku.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlMkwia0dx
Izuku floats over Bakugo and faces the number one hero.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOY0lnugec
All Might: “Will you face me by yourself, young Midoriya?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkenZdpDx0
Bakugo: “He’s mine, Deku!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgm2LWV14v
Bakugo: ‘Don’t take this away from me too damn it!’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXNmKSdtY2
His inner thoughts were clear as day to a person who has lived most of their life with him. Izuku looks back at his teammates and sighs.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICBHVTVzKg
Izuku: “I’ll face All Might, for now.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAzwrAuwqy
Izuku: “Uraraka, talk sense into Bakugo.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwfKnbXXN4
Uraraka: “What!? Who-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHplsweemX
Before she can question anything, Izuku teleports to both Bakugo and Uraraka. When he touched them, he quickly teleported them elsewhere in the city.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuObbDRHI02
This may be a dumb idea, but what other choice does he have? Fixing things between them won’t be done in one day, if at all. But maybe those two have a chance.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFxHdhrrO4
Izuku: ‘I hope… because the best chance for us to pass, without me doing everything, is Uraraka.’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJcW4zYwuR
All Might: “I hope you have a plan, young Midoriya.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggTMKwMzAU
Izuku: “Was this your idea, All Might?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvHtiQNaQy
All Might: “No, actually. It was Aizawa’s idea to pair you three up. I don’t know the whole story, but I know it won’t be fixed with a battle. But it is a good idea to get used to fighting with people you may not like.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1nN6eevd4
Izuku: “Then I’m sorry to disappoint you, All Might. You have to fight me alone for a while.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGcpJuZPOb
All Might: “That is fine, young Midoriya. This is a great chance to see just how far you’ve gone.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BKRKZpJtS
Words weren’t needed anymore between these two giants. Charging his body with psychic power, Izuku met All Might in the middle and collided fists.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZscQU05vqI
The surrounding buildings were once again brought to the brink of crumbling from the wind pressure. The result of it, though, was surprising, the two giants were equally matched.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLy64gc7nK
At least for a moment.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwfSCREqBR
After a while, All Might overpowered Izuku, sending him flying away. But Izuku knew that would happen eventually, so was already ready.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3I44MNa0l
He brought his arms together, before releasing them alongside with several transmuted rubble.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvmqvk01zo
Black iron bullets hammered All Might’s location. But they were no match for his strength; one punch was all it took to destroy the oncoming storm.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZELc5h2vf
Izuku: ‘Thought as much. This is All Might after all.’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZB7kLRrS5
The goal is to keep All Might busy until his teammates work things out. At least enough to help.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhmDnYRG2f
But he also can’t go all out and outshine them. Clearly, this exam is more for their benefit than for him. Because anyone who can clash with All Might, weakened by weights or not, deserves to pass.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz4p8ALB2i
To that end, Izuku focused on evasion and withstanding the man.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOSEskwgFr
Teleporting back into the fray, he delivered a punch to All Might’s jaw before teleporting away from the counter. Reappearing, he delivered an overhead hammer to the skull.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHPClIDqdZ
All Might tried to catch Izuku, but he teleported out of the way in time.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXwWxlNgm6
All Might: “It’s like fighting a fly.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspTXUBT7BX
This went on for a minute, Izuku chipping away at the giant with rapid punches and kicks. That’s until All Might clapped his hands.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o9DXb5mPZ
Izuku: “Ugh!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfh3xrFvdR
One second to cover his ears, one second to get caught and slammed into the ground. The result was a large smoke cloud that could be seen from where Bakugo and Uraraka were.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBs7aa19op
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTzIuFVnL3
Once again, Izuku’s power is shown to be ridiculous. Once again, he takes what is his.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOSiaOkOct
Sure, the boy seems to be losing, but it didn’t matter. Izuku was fighting All Might and not losing instantly. Worse, he sent him and Uraraka away like they were burdens.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahUt1Kj2JO
Bakugo: ‘Does he expect us to run to the gate?!’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvkb5JrQN4
Fuck that, the boy attempts to jump off the building Izuku sent them and fight.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjD9GaM5M6
Uraraka: “Where are you going!?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfTt0NNP2v
Bakugo: “To fight All Might!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5BxXftkNJ
Uraraka: “Why? Midoriya gave us a chance to pass. Let’s just go to the gate and-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEQCfU3zZL
Bakugo: “You think that’s a victory!? Running away?!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DmYWgYvo3
Uraraka: “No but-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwa0mu9FXD
Bakugo: “Why are you even talking to me!? Aren’t you supposed to be Deku’s number one supporter? Just… leave me alone.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiAwAuOQFC
Uraraka: “… Did you apologize?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWME0D2Om7
Bakugo: “Hah?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxPFssPzvL
Uraraka: “I heard what you said before, that you two fought. That you… lost… ”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22mocSona8
Bakugo: “And you assumed I’d apologize to that fuckface, huh?!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NAWY8U2HY
Uraraka: “Yeah! You should after everything you told me!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhdJmYfxDe
Bakugo: “And what would that change!?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09xAQF8RXe
Uraraka: “… I don’t know. At least it means you’re trying to be better.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnhzEmrHjT
Bakugo: “… Whatever.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmps3VnCkk
He tries to jump again, but Uraraka grabs his arm. The instinct to hit her, to shake her off, stirs, but the boy quickly stomps it into oblivion.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v7rc6Evi1
He’d hurt Uraraka if they were fighting, because she deserves nothing less, but never outside of it.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwICTkvBOWv
Bakugo: “What now, Round Face!?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Dx3GoH9v
Uraraka: “… Fine, we’ll fight him. We’ll beat All Might.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoD1gAu5nF
Bakugo: “… Hah?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz2sYXUShy
Uraraka: “But you’re going to have to trust me. Midoriya is right; this is supposed to be a test of our teamwork. So work with me and Midoriya.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpy3Ke7OUv
The boy looks back to the battlefield below, at the increasing levels of destruction caused by his idol and former punching bag. Oh, how things have changed.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3y9F6EvKq
Working with Uraraka is one thing, but working with him…
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1cF96USgJ
Bakugo: “… If I need his… charity to win, then I’d rather lose altogether.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0qvKO7wCx
That did it.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYVCuCWMgD
Using what she learned from Gunhead, Uraraka pulled Bakugo’s arm toward her and then flipped him to the ground. To prevent him from getting back up, she straddles the boy and places her hands on his shoulders.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvsiuCeA09
Uraraka: “Are you seriously saying you’d rather give up!? You!?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjciIxZ3NA6
Bakugo: “Get off me!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdfI7Oxprm
Uraraka: “Not until you start acting like the hero you want to be. You said a hero is one who never loses. Well, you lost, Bakugo! And you will continue to lose if you don’t make things right. If you don’t learn how to at least work with Midoriya.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClGTrB9A8W
Bakugo: “After what he did!? Did he tell you that the only reason why I said anything to you was because he forced me!? He would have told you if I hadn’t.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6T4QvmS8Z
Uraraka: “… No… and that’s… something I didn’t think he would do. But I’m glad he did. Because I couldn’t have been with you if I didn’t know the truth.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsW136b2lw
Again, Bakugo is slammed by the fact that such a girl had feelings for him of all people. And Deku ruined it all…
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDCU0ONaHO
Bakugo: ‘No… we’re done.’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6gJo2fdGx
The bridge has been burned too many times. Any positive feelings the two had for each other have been buried by years of abuse, jealousy, misunderstandings, and conflict.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEViS1atdKD
Even after their fight, nothing has been truly settled. It just aches like an old wound.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqvMBRYRCZ
They can never return to the way things were before Bakugo got a quirk. But… it didn’t mean they couldn’t work together professionally.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVroqylWHKA
It didn’t mean Bakugo couldn’t try, not for him, but for the one reaching out now.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlie9Dfw48Z
Bakugo: “… Damn it… ”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97xilVAWye
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR7ebdhB1x
All Might: “Time is running out, young Midoriya.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG2jFHWHqk
The boy is running on fumes at this point. Over the course of the battle, All Might slowly unleashed more and more of his power.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfVWv0Clvg
Even present-day Izuku doesn’t have the strength to match the man physically. At least not without channeling one of the beings within.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjGYxUHuEb
Izuku: ‘This isn’t a death match though.’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg49OrpA9dh
So he kept to the non-lethal basics to keep up with All Might. Psychic enhanced body to tank and counter blows. Telekinesis to hurl transmuted rubble and trip up All Might with pitfalls.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr2StydowQ
But All Might easily blew through it all.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IrGhuwGEJ
Izuku: ‘All Might is so cool… ’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMftuFPGjgH
All Might: “I hope your plan to help young Bakugo will work out. Because right now-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6HcYL7tDV
Izuku blocks another heavy blow to his stomach, but it was still powerful enough to send the boy skidding back.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxGQTX8Frz
All Might: “You may have to abandon them if you want to pass.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuss38W12es
Wiping the blood from his mouth, Izuku simply smiles.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6Brnov4Vn
Izuku: “I probably should, huh? Give up on Bakugo and Uraraka, and win this all myself, like we all know I could. But that’s not the hero I want to be, and that’s the kind of hero Bakugo seeks to be. That’s not a victory either of us would want, right, Bakugo!?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUJ7Uh9sBM
Bakugo: “Deku, copy!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nkpFqJH0x
A large explosion engulfs All Might, one delivered by Bakugo’s gauntlets. The resulting explosion also sought to consume Izuku, but he blocked it and saw the other gift Bakugo gave.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6leslC0PDu
Several grenades were lobbed over All Might, aimed toward Izuku’s position. Using one hand to keep the shield up, the boy used the other to bring the bombs to him.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgngfHxMlG
Izuku: ‘Copy, huh?’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd45lrHNLI
Creating the same substance that powers Bakugo’s explosions, Izuku prepared the next stage of the impulsive plan.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhZXkhf4iB
When All Might recovered from the blast, he turned toward Bakugo, but he was already gone. But before he can give chase or turn toward Izuku, he is surrounded by lightly glowing grenades.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfEiWp5jy3
Izuku: “Detonate.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemzT4ZneC9
Instantly, all the enhanced grenades were detonated, causing a medium-sized mushroom cloud of devastation. Izuku wasn’t down though; he controlled said devastation and turned it into an inferno cage.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepxSD7Artu
One All Might could leave, if he charges, so the boy doesn’t let up. He unleashes the newest copied move.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMcxeeuEPM
Izuku: “AP: Rapid Hellgun!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQdGpl60le
Like Bakugo’s Autocannon, Izuku’s version shoots out green-colored explosive bolts. Sensing danger, All Might jumps out of the inferno cage and punches the air toward Izuku.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjzFJr46Kb
The force behind All Might’s blow was enough to bury the boy into the concrete, since he was unable to form a shield in time.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZAuMnKNYm
Landing on his feet, All Might looks around for anyone else but finds nothing.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoTo7R36DB
All Might: “A good effort, young Midoriya. But it would seem that you have lost. Only one partner came back for you.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeXtqiSWKl
The boy only grins.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nRtJbTFQu
Izuku: “Did you forget, All Might, I have mental abilities as well?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhc4a0lalJ
It was then that All Might felt weightless.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkfSRAV1Cm
All Might: “Huh?!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPJeZBfQx7
He looks behind to see Uraraka. But how?
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlgd9t9cl3
Izuku: “I made it so you couldn’t perceive her. Thanks to telepathy, she knew when to strike.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpQyhT4cuo
All Might: ‘… Terrifying…’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxapNSU3TUP
Izuku: “Kacchan!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdgtjFK2Aw
Bakugo: “Shut it, Deku!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaitnQQcHk0
Before All Might could recover, Bakugo slides under him and-
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhMryKJG81
Bakugo: “DIIIIIEEE!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaDzI8x5KK
Unleashed a blast greater than the one used during his battle against Uraraka. Now weightless, All Might was helplessly flung far into the air. That should give them enough time.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurBTaddZgJ
Uraraka: “W-We did it!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy83tfAvGZ1
Bakugo: “Let’s go!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM4HHQlY2B
Izuku easily removed himself from the concrete and followed the duo, who were already running to the exit.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN69ihOKCkc
Uraraka: “Um, Midoriya, why don’t you teleport us to the gate?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W0xRgoIqH
Izuku: “Because that wouldn’t be fair.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUz3YEJNX1
Bakugo: “What’s wrong, Round Face? Can’t handle a simple run?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFvdepy2mK
Uraraka: “Says the one who’s using his quirk to speed up.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjqE4aQplu
Bakugo: “Tch.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV3HhdnYKR
Listening, the boy returned to the ground and began running alongside his… teammates.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGALGRfbsk
Izuku: ‘Well… that gamble paid off. This means we can work together at least. Anything more… only time will tell.’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4dU4tOpuJ
Uraraka: “Wait, do you hear something?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ011pWiKMtW
All Might: “New Hampshire…”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgU32gYmjX
Izuku: “Watch out!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf68fMagUe
All Might: “SMASH!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HzW2QrW0e
Punching the air, All Might catapulted himself to the ground. He was aiming for Bakugo, but Izuku pushed him out of the way and took the hit himself. And heavy enough was the blow that the boy was sent flying away.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XsN8zkzLw
All Might: “My, my, how naive, heroes!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNd4Zy8W5r
Uraraka: “No way!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh0UQIi6Ws
All Might: “Now what will you do without your strongest member?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4snDRXbHb
Bakugo: “I don’t need Deku to beat-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceWG9ovinC
Before he could finish his boast, All Might launched himself toward him, destroyed the gauntlets, and sunk his fist into the boy’s stomach.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHjafkChw8
Bakugo: “GAUGH!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUiRFxSNzc
Lunch expelled and strength sapped, Bakugo was flung just as far as Izuku.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCszc1uqyr3
Uraraka: “Bakugo!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhl9a2c6AY
All Might: “And there was one. What will you do, hero!?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTzqP5P6cJ
Uraraka: ‘Bakugo and Midoriya together couldn’t win. What can I do? All Might is too fast, too strong… ’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6B8qDifBB
Even still, the girl couldn’t just give up. Despite the shaking in her boots, Uraraka puts up her fists.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTEAxrSKrl
All Might: “Excellent spirit, hero. But will it be enough?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc3fOkiQVo
The man speeds toward Uraraka, fist at the ready to knock her out as gently as possible. Uraraka can barely react, but Izuku could.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsXmP8eeHP
A multilayered green shield blocks the strike and then expands to envelop All Might. The boy puts both of his hands up, strengthening the shield to withstand the rapid blows of All Might. Still, it won’t last long.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd4Q72MAqI
Izuku: “Get Bakugo, and go!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHSorXgtog
Uraraka: “R-Right!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gngxZ5wfg
The girl runs to the recovering Bakugo and tries to help him, but he pushes her hand away.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HRM1Viehx
Bakugo: “No! If Deku is still fighting, I am too. So instead-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKm7NeMEVl
He grabs Uraraka’s collar, causing her to blush lightly, and says-
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzesxcxBY1
Bakugo: “Make yourself light, Round Face! I’m throwing you.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUlb6QhmWm
Uraraka: “W-What!?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto7Icvx8T5
Bakugo: “No time, hurry!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf7vNBbejD
She listened when she heard the shield breaking. Releasing All Might and then activating the quirk on herself, she nods to Bakugo.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MmaAuGVeZ
Plan set, Bakugo throws Uraraka to the nearby gate and then turns around in time to blast an approaching All Might.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eDakB4i7k
Bakugo and Izuku didn’t need to hold All Might off for long. Thanks to the explosion and the fact she had no gravity weighing her down, Uraraka was able to pass the gate with a minute to spare.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEntkzGAXA
Recovery Girl: “Group 5 has passed!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3iKEIAzTI
Hearing that, the males stopped their battle, but only Bakugo nearly collapsed in exhaustion. His pride, however, refused to show such weakness, not when Izuku and All Might are standing just fine.
