No one moved.

Clang.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAJoceDAaLsl
How could they?
261Please respect copyright.PENANA4ekXaIquhc
Clang
261Please respect copyright.PENANAuHqV0Kipmi
Their bodies were constricted by some force.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAXQCjZ2lMjy
Clang
261Please respect copyright.PENANAScunKvA57d
Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAsQp9fkOnj3
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAAud32bAnXk
She would like to continue this pace; no need to expend all of her effort on this. But already her control is slipping. Sweat drips down her head as green and red lights flood the tunnel.
261Please respect copyright.PENANACMn6A5LReT
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
261Please respect copyright.PENANAq2AzC1ERG9
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAZOfVabu0MB
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAp8aP7hvp1c
Alongside Bakugo are Kaoru and Izuku, who decided to fly regardless of risks. Unfortunately for everyone else, their feet were frozen by a running Todoroki.
261Please respect copyright.PENANApqa7J2BpOq
Mina: “Aw, man!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAjWw9SZthXW
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAKsLSiYTAmv
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA96ydsxhxrK
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAanG2V1czbO
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANASOtSz67H9T
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAUncNodLV9T
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANASWmRf5Iv2g
Sabrina: “Hm.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAXM83UHVzxW
Not willing to reveal her hand or expend too much energy, she quickly maneuvered through machines. But such things will slow her down. A pillar of ice rushed forward and engulfed several robots.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA7IW3wTliyl
Sabrina would have been frozen if she didn’t use her quirk to stop the ice before it could touch her. Still, that second of using her powers was enough for the airborne racers to pass her.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAg7oPesnpCQ
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAGue1rjj19T
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAvsRgBpjjuj
President Mic: “The first-place position is a warzone! But don’t relax just yet; here comes the next obstacle. A little surprise for our flyers courtesy of the school principal!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA3yqmCzAgYE
Izuku immediately teleported to the ground and started running when he heard that. Good thing too, for Kaoru was about to run into the first airborne trap.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAqfKBi6f0vM
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAglKj3P76Ru
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANACF95hN24Wu
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
261Please respect copyright.PENANABnheU3hT32
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAD7XU1fHgav
While that happened, the rest of the students tore through the robots. In the lead was Bakugo, flying low enough to avoid the mines. Followed close behind were the grounded Izuku, Sabrina, and Todoroki.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAPzZnYAu7Mx
The trio took a glance at each other before deciding to exercise their right to interfere with each other. Sabrina’s eyes flash red before a force stops Todoroki in his tracks. But he was freed when Sabrina was tripped by unstable earth caused by Izuku.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAp5PsT2KabH
But before Izuku can run ahead, his legs are frozen by Todoroki. The psychic broke the ice immediately, but not fast enough before a force flung him into the sky.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAVOGLAqop1H
Sabrina glided over the ice field and took her position at second place. Meanwhile, Izuku righted himself just in time to witness Kaoru’s outburst.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAl7QLlD7vkL
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAWUTsyhAjYU
An explosion of red psychic energy erupted and destroyed all the surrounding mines. Like a meteor, Kaoru shoots forward blindly, all the way to first place.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAV5mGpGoWDR
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAF7dKQzeQlN
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAzQCYNer8bL
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA2lqEYZ7hax
Kaoru: “What the-”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAmyk0uoJHy2
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAV2rBGgmkrr
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
261Please respect copyright.PENANABYObDOWQTa
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAzhnfrmM4BU
While she complains, Bakugo arrives and easily blasts onto a platform. But only barely. He was high enough to trigger another invisible bomb. Thankfully, all he got out of it was singed hair.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAtK5cixL9iN
Bakugo: “Tch”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAKnnT2FWlZ4
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAHftWPLInKd
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAXiGU4K3oBs
Kaoru: “Huh?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA28Lsvrlhtk
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAprMMuMsGIE
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAEACEIwgz7s
Sabrina ignored her emotional outburst and gracefully walked the tightropes. Todoroki was close behind and did the same, but even he wasn’t as fast as her.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAUVqAKdxf4P
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAlKeNXVAnxz
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAM731jLmmVw
Before she can finish introducing her baby, a bike jumps over her and lands on the platform. Returning the bike to her body, Momo then created something she learned from a comic.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA84IfsqFY6y
Using the inertia from the jump, she lets herself fall into the ravine. But she catches herself using a web sling, or more so a wire sling. It strained her arm a great deal, but she prepared for this. Like a certain comic hero, Momo swung between the platforms at a respectable speed.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAgszu7SJzj5
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAuCABMtM6Tw
The girl used her own equipment to swing into the ravine and follow after Momo. Just then, a red rocket emerged out of the darkness. Kaoru landed on one of the middle platforms, breathing heavily.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA59AFpCw9xW
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA1slnFXlBe0
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
261Please respect copyright.PENANArmYoT6a4Ms
As for Izuku, he finally caught up along with the rest of the students. Ida sped through, and Tsuyu crawled the rope with ease. Izuku was quickly losing ground, but he refused to fly in this environment.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAW8Bpug8VFe
So instead, he put his improved body and senses to the test. Thanks to his new ability, he was able to strengthen his muscular structure and bones. This increased his baseline strength and durability. Adding on psionic enhancements, and the result was explosive.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAoU6UKT05hb
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA1J5G77OhOO
Izuku: “Gah!
261Please respect copyright.PENANAiIopxcIqcv
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
261Please respect copyright.PENANADlvOwi5tut
To the shock of the audience, the pillar began to fall, and right under it was Mina, still balancing on a rope. Her eyes widened at the incoming doom.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAtKkgojcmL1
Izuku: “Ashido!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA7jU0QElkNF
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAviMdk7DZRD
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAKSSzgIPdMg
Izuku: “Hurry!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANALce5PVEEXR
Mina made her way across the rope fairly fast. This will kill his chances at winning, but this was more important. It’s not the first time he did something like this.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA2GUUIDTagE
Once Mina was clear, Izuku gently lowered the rubble down. However, he forgot about the mines. With a clang, stone met metal, and the sky was lit ablaze.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAoMrWu5AIBD
But Izuku didn’t buckle; he controlled the chaos. The very explosions themselves were contained in psychic fields and condensed until they were no more.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAfEl5Gr7Nju
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA6DJJePYanD
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAOJqDwD3Aau
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
261Please respect copyright.PENANALdkMMhHiJf
Kiri: “Onii.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAPfj7guKhPP
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAna3Hp8cXpM
She was behind him, apparently deciding to give up on the race too. Izuku drops his hands and lets the rubble fall into the abyss below.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAnu7jwdx0aC
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAERQxIaTnHa
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAkoGp0alGJR
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAgh7NYCvGd2
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANALU4iOZDiUz
Kiri: “Izu… ”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAVdyyplI2Nr
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAvcSMuVNJS0
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAodIMijT4Lr
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAybAFVSscmD
Kiri: “Wha-”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAMxbsDHy7YI
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANADDWSMquFHU
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAiSpOuzGUq7
Moving back to the front runners, Bakugo explodes into the last part of the race. Giving his arms a second of rest and a moment for Present Mic to explain things, Bakugo landed onto the gravel.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA7XRGhpfVcT
Present Mic: “And now we come to the final barrier! A minefield!! But these mines are hidden underground; if you look carefully, you can see them. Are there ones in the air? Who knows!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAINIfC1xc1N
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA5tz9fOkDj5
The explosive boy has a sizable lead, as it should be. Clearly, halfnhalf and those psychic bitches issued a war declaration to the wrong rival.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAtTbwbSP4fe
Sabrina: “Did we?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAmmf939OIt7
Suddenly, Bakugo’s body locks up. Her binding is far harder to get out of than Izuku’s, and her focus is all on Bakugo.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA7yhppiUpRk
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAY2O9CKWDQO
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAmqxkFK7bda
She calmly walks towards the finish line, but another blast of ice forces her to stop and block. Her focus broken, Bakugo explodes free of her control and glares at her.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA9KZEYEADg6
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAEWxBCCy6bG
Izuku and Kiri look at their surroundings before everyone freezes at the surprise additions. But that surprise only lasted a second as they all burst into a mad dash to the finish line.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAvhorS78OpY
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA0pz5kffLT9
Sabrina tried to stop everyone but was countered by Izuku at every turn. Didn’t help that she had to make sure she didn’t trip a mine.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAntaJ8tFhwr
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAu6ldZIJq5X
BOOOM!!
261Please respect copyright.PENANAduZRKeF2f8
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAILHBeik9eD
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAcfumVUPdpP
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAijuZHv2Xdg
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAIqbkxwPB0r
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAd4Ma0nTJmb
Present Mic: “This is just the sort of development you all crave!! A team-up!! Akashi gathered the mines with her quirk while Yaoyorozu created the platform they blasted off on!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANANqKwovpLt0
Thanks to their tactics, they overtook the leaders. But they were still a few ways off from the finish. But that amount of distance is nothing to an esper.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAHNgdsU0PcS
Kaoru: “Ready?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANApwKfsZxHZB
Momo: “Yes!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAxzvusKxekB
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAtj5wzLPvv8
Sabrina: “Lock!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAe9u5x1GBLO
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAjqhGsyBAzs
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAh8Uk8foI0O
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAkwdjQZHOcj
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
261Please respect copyright.PENANANb0xQTGe5X
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAe6HxMf2c49
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
261Please respect copyright.PENANAcU1vlXVDBI
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAR8MD3ThDEs
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAXV1eb6FimK
Kiri: “Uh.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA7x9kE4K05W
A flash of light erupted out from beneath her, and thanks to the shield, she was spared the blindness. But the surprises weren’t done.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAtnkNxc1P75
Boom!
261Please respect copyright.PENANAaSssGS8eO4
The shield hit a mine and blew the racers apart. For a few seconds, everything was ringing and dark. It was only due to sheer will that Momo was able to get up.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAYlfO3xiKq4
But she wasn’t the only one; everyone else quickly recovered. There was only one difference, one gifted by chance. Momo was right next to the finish line. Just a few feet to victory.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAHgloBTXE3v
This was it!
261Please respect copyright.PENANAHB6xXeVbLp
She was going to-
261Please respect copyright.PENANAWtVkm5yu5o
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAOA1TB3Kc1R
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAAnaEMCPkEw
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
261Please respect copyright.PENANA1j8z7kzT5j
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA5HQaOENTdA
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA7JFoJL0yTI
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA8bF1WeFlHy
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAUgjj5goC7B
1. Aoi Nogami (Class B)
2. Katsuki Bakugo (Class A)
3. Momo Yaoyorozu (Class A)
4. Izuku Midoriya (Class A)
5. Kiri Tae (Class A)
6. Kaoru Akashi (Class B)
7. Sabrina Kanto (Class B)
8. Shouto Todoroki (Class A)
9. Ibara Shiozaki (Class B)
10. Tenya Ida (Class A)
11. Juuzou Honenuki (Class B)
12. Fumikage Tokoyami (Class A)

17. Tsuyu Asui (Class A)
18. Mezo Shoji (Class A)
19. Ochaco Uraraka (Class A)
20. Kyoka Jiro (Class A)
261Please respect copyright.PENANAQoo7ww2I5h
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA9jaPuk7fYR
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAqpk1URDoF9
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA18VwAteFBX
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAxI4k1QwpvU
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAIyuo2THfiw
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAad5s6cZ0la
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAg0RCnQMcuf
Aoi: “If it makes you feel any better, I wasn’t going to do it either. But since no one called foul when you did it, I thought, why not?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAVGBK23yeQJ
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAL2WRpphxQ0
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAE6eiaYfpWK
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
261Please respect copyright.PENANABijse9OcMf
He could have gotten higher, but he couldn’t compete in speed when it comes to those who can fly. As soon as they learned that the sky was clear, they left him in the dust.
261Please respect copyright.PENANABgCEWjalro
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAtC4uwCNFgv
Then there’s Kiri, the physical powerhouse that can keep up with flyers regardless. Good thing he was humbled already; otherwise this would be crushing.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA5YPnafppX1
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
261Please respect copyright.PENANAK2LcXoloCQ
Midnight: “The 43 at the top have earned the right to advance!! I’m sorry for the kids who failed, but take heart! This festival’s showstopper is still being prepared!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANApZDhS5lhJ0
Midnight: “And now the post-preliminaries, the final selections! From here on, even the press corps will squeal with white-hot excitement, so go all out!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA1M7sbgepPP
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA592UwEn7J2
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA7Um3nibSwt
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAIrNWfdeIe5
Midnight: “You all form 2-4 person teams freely and form a horseback configuration! Basically, it’s the same rules as a normal human cavalry. Swipe enemy riders’ headbands and guard your own. Except for one thing, everyone will receive points based on their performance in the last trial.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAhHTbEJk6nX
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAaLCgflD8i9
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAeTggomgJnt
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA05AL9AjNmZ
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA5vrC7J32dW
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAaikSD6BtEu
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAS8XzMXcp9H
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAcwGkRKJj6G
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANABRshXb5WFZ
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
