The hero team didn’t have to move far to arrive at their area. The civilian team had to move to the center of the city while the villains moved to some buildings deeper within.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ4Y4nuvJj
This gave the heroes some time to come up with some strategy in their safety area. It was an open area with yellow tape surrounding it, signifying the safe zone.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtSjdssuln
Sero: “Please, tell me one of you has a plan.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOhlKqPo19
Kirishima: “Yeah, we’re not in the best spot.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1gg2tGuqW
The group looks to Izuku and Momo, who then look at each other.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdCETOGf7Q
Izuku: “U-Us?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYIdVqVWfH
Momo: “Well, I was coming up with something. Do you have anything?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65B3XS7ND1
Izuku: “Really? That’s great! All I know is that Kacchan will come for me when it starts.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD7zjzKOU4
Momo: “Can you beat him?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK8NSMaxMv
Izuku is still not the epitome of confidence, but after training with his sisters and All Might, his former bully didn’t seem so bad.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWvMW86p0e
Izuku: “Y-Yes. I don’t know how long it will take, but… I can win.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG0xQbts4u
Momo: “Good, because you’re our best chance for winning.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinegSQ1VGq
Izuku: “I-I am?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH3Z2NgRQI
Kirishima: “Of course!”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB7nmV3HCB
Sero: “You’re our strongest team member.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj531Mw7F1P
Uraraka: “With you on our side, we can win this!”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Z2nwv28f
Izuku: “T-T-Thank you all. I-I won’t let you down!”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiSUVkiVJF
Momo: “Good, so here’s the plan.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSojBeenVWB
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AJ08M8wns
It took a while, but the villains made it to their base. A non-descriptive building with a fake missile-looking bomb on the top floor.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1S655SJJn
Mina: “Haha, this will be fun!”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxc3LLk8NB
Ida: “It may just be a training exercise, but it still pains me to be a villain.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89FDfImADV
Mina: “Come on, just have fun with it.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHAOKy2Qu3
Ida: “That will be hard considering the company.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaJieOXx05
He looks to his other teammates. Todoroki was sitting against the bomb; clearly, he was planning on guarding the bomb.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwIixTqlRj
Tae was staring into the city with a blank expression. Ida doubts he can convince her to join in any plan he has. As for Bakugo…
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGt5Y5m4AJ
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaFUsX3ZPv
He was a bomb all to himself. Ida could even see him shaking, barely able to contain his wrath.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmae5Pnujm
Ida: “The others will most likely have their own plans. Can I count on you to help me capture the civilians?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJRlTzG0No
Mina: “Righto boss! You can count on me!”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHP0q2pxdG
It was then, when a loud siren was heard across the city. The exercise has begun.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF1yWYSo0n
Ida: “Alright, lets-”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUP8umdvm1
But that wasn’t the end of it. A flash of green appeared in the sky. Izuku threw his head back before yelling out his challenge.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN8Ho6MYfH
Izuku: “KACCHAN!! FIGHT ME!!”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Btdnc01ft
That did it. Bakugo’s face split into a maddening grin before exploding into action.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9luj7ugeHK
Bakugo: “You… FUCKING NERD!!”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvVlxkVT8s
Tae followed soon after, jumping out the window and dashing into the city below.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8T5Y3eegc
Ida: “That’s our cue. Let’s… ahem… go capture those civilians for our evil plans! Hahaha!”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcHTjx4Bbm
Mina: “That’s the spirit! Led the way.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI1DpK5eLN
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wuQJXNDjm
Jiro couldn’t afford to be the first one out. The civilians didn’t stick around each other as soon as the exercise started. Staying together would make it too easy for the villains to catch them all at once.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1XUy64i1A
So that leads us to now, Jiro stalking the city while making sure to keep her ear close to the ground. She’s not fast, but this will hopefully give her some time to react if a villain does come.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSK297vNVb
What she didn’t expect was being close to the first major fight of the exercise. But maybe, hiding under the building where it will take place might be a good spot. No one would look there.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzZm25NpzC
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzr1uDRKtp
The plan worked! But it also put a target on Izuku’s back.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJadWJF3yI
Izuku: ‘Not like it wasn’t already there.’
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTyb8kUX0y
He floats down to the ceiling below and waits for his former friend to appear. He didn’t have to wait long.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO5c7tKTCF
Appearing with a loud boom, Bakugo shot down onto the ceiling. He raises up from his knee while sparks erupt from his hands.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5GC6TB5Pe
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4PQCYITJ9
Izuku: “Kacchan… ”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWjj4pR2Zq
Bakugo: “You have a lot of nerve Deku… you used to piss your pants before me… now you have the nerve to challenge me! ME!?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u3VkfP6Sh
Izuku: “I’m not the same Deku. In fact, you know what I learned. Deku doesn’t have to mean worthless. From now on, I’m Deku, the one who can do the impossible! Because that’s what I’ll be, a Hero!”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RHhAy5GIV
Izuku thinks back to the strategy meeting when he explained a bit about his relationship with Kacchan. Specifically, Momo’s response to his nickname.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg8HeulFL2
Momo: “Deku, huh? Sounds a bit like Dekiru. You can do it; you’re capable. Maybe, Deku doesn’t need to mean worthless anymore, if you don’t want it to.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNzUinmyqJ
Bakugo grinds his teeth and tenses his muscles. Izuku breathes out a calming wave of air and activates his quirk. His eyes flash green, and his hair stands on end.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQUr5Un1qf
The air was electric and ready for the clash of young titans. Words weren’t needed anymore.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vnJEJmr3R
Only-
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbN75phq9Q
Fwooosh!
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzis7wxrnr
Action!
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEePUGiatYh
Izuku lifted his hands and caught Bakugo in his explosive charge with his telekinesis. With a twitch of his hand, he throws Bakugo off the building.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebMT4GhJEV
Well, that’s what was supposed to happen. Instead, Bakugo unleashed enough force in an explosion to counteract the strength of the telekinetic hold.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3q0pdX7S8
Izuku: “Wha-”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNSh7mVpRj
Bakugo bursts out of the smoke, damaged but still intact, and headbutts Izuku.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNli5WuxFn
Izuku: “Gah-”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8cO9XsG69
Bakugo: “Stun Grenade!”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiV6KOwnsk
A flash of light envelops Izuku’s eyes, preventing any action for a second. That second was all Bakugo needed; he grabbed Izuku’s arm and flipped him onto the ground hard.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qYyfJEdjQ
Bakugo: “You think you’re the only one who improved! You can never compare to me, Deku! Not even with a-”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMFN9DROfR
A burst of psychic energy erupted out of Izuku, knocking Bakugo into the air. Even while temporarily blind, Izuku still could guess where his opponent was.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwMiGEK7iL
Predicting where he sent Bakugo, Izuku quickly got up, ripped concrete from the ceiling, and hurled it into the sky.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsUyS1zM4y
Bakugo smiled at the assault and skillfully dodged the large piles of earth. The ones he couldn’t dodge, he destroyed. The ones he couldn’t destroy…
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPIDclObqZ
Bakugo: “Die!!”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nf5uvACaX
He grabbed and threw it at Izuku with incredible speed. Still blind, Izuku couldn’t react to the speedball and was hit in the head.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbOMs713sh
Concentration broken, Izuku’s assault ended, causing all the rubble to fall back to earth. Free to attack, Bakugo exploded into the dazed Izuku, intent on ending the battle with a big right hook. But the esper predicted as much and placed a shield around himself.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJfsAoTj2E
The resulting blast blew both titans off the building and caused the building to start collapsing.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34wt6yfAa5
Much to the annoyance of both teens, this battle would not be as easy as they thought.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgobKwYcFYp
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPNXblJVpE
Momo watched the battle while driving through the city on the bike she created.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYvGYQjRv1
Momo: “I guess it will take some time for Izuku to win.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV4tUhxBQi
Kirishima: “Y-Yeah.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONsjQEePyn
The young man wanted to focus on the fight; he really did. But he was hanging onto Momo, one of the most attractive girls in the class. She was also wearing the most revealing outfit.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VEHM2kOrt
He’s no pervert, but he’s still a man.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpiLFyNTO7
Kirishima: “A-Are we close to any civilians yet?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDehtUpRYl
Momo: “No, keep an eye out.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESIBceuEmN
Kirishima: “Righ-”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITyqJX0vQT
Just then a frog girl jumped over the bike. Time slowed down as Tsuyu and Kirishima locked surprised eyes. When it resumed-
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcXZp5NEF1
Kirishima: “Wait!”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPrJ8EHAh9
Momo slammed the brakes, forcing the bike to skid to a stop. Tsuyu, after landing, jumped over to them.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ifCWtU94q
Tsuyu: “You came just in time, kero.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnOEhAK2WJ
Momo: “Why? What’s-”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOnDyI1u5N
That’s when they noticed how out of breath Tsuyu was. The frog girl pointed behind them, and then they understood why.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TE4N9frcE
Like some horror villain, Kiri emerged from a corner nonchalantly. The presence of Mom and Kirishima didn’t change her pace; instead, she continued her slow stride forward. As if their capture was inevitable.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMwgCQsmJn
Kirishima: “No way… ”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosLx8PHxj1
Momo: “I didn’t expect to run into her this soon.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8EcIkrUSM
Kirishima swallowed any fear he may have. He can’t let something like this freeze him in his tracks. He’s going to be a hero! Just like Crimson Riot.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuIxfysJ3m
He got off the bike and began his walk toward Kiri.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq3HCWQjwT
Kirishima: “Get the civilian out of here; I’ll hold this villain off.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zM4ttZdli
Momo only hesitated for a moment before nodding. Tsuyu, understanding the situation, hoped onto the bike. A few seconds later, the two were speeding off.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs52f5ZWZK
Despite that, Kiri didn’t chase them. After all, she had a new target.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Oua7Ol1MW
The two met in the middle of the street and stared each other down. Kirishima might be a head taller than Kiri, but he felt like he was the one being looked down on.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZmyieq7Sy
Kiri: “Rock-man… you’re brave.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdflRF8svEy
Kirishima: “Haha, thanks. But what hero isn’t?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rBtWRR090
Kiri: “… True. But bravery… isn’t enough.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSw4JAzPWF
Before Kirishima could react, he was in a wall, and his whole body hurt.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTBISZNfWZ
Kiri: “Stay down.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwxqHy8T9y
Kiri spared him a glance before continuing her walk. But she didn’t get far before she had to turn around and block a blow from a fully hardened Kirishima.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIavKktnIK
Kirishima: “Don’t count me out just yet!”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcG6MzkoTq
He was hurt, really hurt, but he wouldn’t let it end like that. Even if he can only buy a second, he will gladly do so. That’s the purpose of a hero, a shield, to defend until the last second!
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJcJQYBGzc
Kiri: “…Okay.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUHN7ZryBC
Unbeknownst to Kirishima, Kiri smiled at his fierce determination.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpBk8YXqU3
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo4VREw3cN
Jiro: ‘That was too close!’
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo29O2gvIBi
Her hiding spot was pretty good until the building started falling apart!
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyroN6DfQDz
Jiro: ‘I didn’t expect their battle to be that destructive. But honestly, I should’ve known.’
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYCaxHDKbO
Now Jiro was outside, running to find another place to hide before-
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT1A31gt0j
Mina: “Well, looka here, a target.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9t0huBUoa
Jiro looked up to see Mina on a nearby ceiling, giving the girl a sly smile.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlLqSJapZ3
Jiro: “Is there any way I can convince you to let me go?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uZlrJ9WFm
Mina: “No can do civilian; I need to finish this up and catch back up to Ida.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaOUsN3QNx
Jiro: “Tch.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWvo6EEE9W
Jiro turned tail and ran from the villain. But she knew she couldn’t outrun Mina for long. She needed a plan.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24WJzakg7Q
Jiro: ‘No rule saying we can’t defend ourselves.’
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRENnxiCts
Jiro backtracked until she found what she was looking for, a dead end. She ran into the alley and acted like she had nowhere to go.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRkqcU4BHC
Mina: “End of the line, hehehe.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Mf0b3zFM
Jiro turns back to see Mina coming closer to her while holding the capture tape.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKmDSyzSvY
Jiro: “What do you plan to do to me, you dastardly villain?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalHryI59M6
Mina: “Come on, you can put a bit more energy into it.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW4HqEv21Y
Jiro: “Sorry, I’ll be louder next time.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRGpJTkDWl
At that moment, Jiro plugged her ear jacks into the sound amplifiers in her boots. Next, Jiro unleashed a powerful sound wave at Mina.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQOaMjF2nq
Mina: “Aaaah!”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeGDLTMWyd
Mina dropped the capture tape and covered her ears. This gave Jiro that chance to dash for it. She grabbed it, and before Mina could recover, Jiro wrapped the tape around Mina and pushed her to the ground.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbzpPw1lzh
Mina: “Ugh, what just happened?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKlfYq4Lw4
Jiro: “A civilian just captured you.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGPBOcjqGB
Mina: “But… that’s not fair! You can do that?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb86U0WjAai
Jiro: “No one said we can’t. Later.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvq2Z8gLYV
Jiro ran out of the alley quickly, knowing a hero or villain would be drawn to the sound.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlOop5SMbC
Mina: “Darn it!”453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVHMMuQroP
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEWofRQ8CT
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6IBSqnMZc
All Might smiled at the turn of events. Young Midoriya and young Bakugo’s destined battle was as destructive as she expected. He just hopes those two can settle their differences.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IltKOT6bU
Because together, they would be far better heroes.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1JqBq9x7S
All Might: ‘But young Bakugo won’t learn from his mistakes… I may have to expel him. It would be a shame, but if he doesn’t change, then he will be more of a villain than a hero.’
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluXAqUVw56
On a lighter note, he was glad Kyoka Jiro was able to notice that loophole. Even civilians, depending on their quirk, can and should defend themselves until a hero arrives.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnCZCM5JFs
In fact, is that not what young Midoriya did? A civilian, with no quirk at the time, helping out his fellow man. Such heroism can bring out the hero out of the professionals.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhtd2iACdP
Civilians can be a wild card for both the heroes and villains.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvSjB6X9qR
All Might: “In other words, expect the unexpected!”
