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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz8mb834jE
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wHVf2N5Sq
Sero: “Please, tell me one of you has a plan.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSJoh1rT9R
Kirishima: “Yeah, we’re not in the best spot.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3gWePlVwD
The group looks to Izuku and Momo, who then look at each other.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCTf1PYmqH
Izuku: “U-Us?”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKgfEmEyyU
Momo: “Well, I was coming up with something. Do you have anything?”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA7eBoC8qq
Izuku: “Really? That’s great! All I know is that Kacchan will come for me when it starts.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOpq3Omqwk
Momo: “Can you beat him?”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAj3oln2ly
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMshQmXdNmi
Izuku: “Y-Yes. I don’t know how long it will take, but… I can win.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p6KUMFCGF
Momo: “Good, because you’re our best chance for winning.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtWP9H6xLR
Izuku: “I-I am?”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zpdC2gt8x
Kirishima: “Of course!”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFekJ9u3yM
Sero: “You’re our strongest team member.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfhZSUjgYX
Uraraka: “With you on our side, we can win this!”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9lQ6CCfMe
Izuku: “T-T-Thank you all. I-I won’t let you down!”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGPboMinkC
Momo: “Good, so here’s the plan.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaDSjpYyr2
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5muVKl7Pm
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmleocqPeg
Mina: “Haha, this will be fun!”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHhGCK2VFU
Ida: “It may just be a training exercise, but it still pains me to be a villain.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqBglI1KMp
Mina: “Come on, just have fun with it.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWGvPDcMtu
Ida: “That will be hard considering the company.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63TbbQxGjX
He looks to his other teammates. Todoroki was sitting against the bomb; clearly, he was planning on guarding the bomb.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOExkI6Ft7Q
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…
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed3i13SUmZ
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9sEfHWKpl
He was a bomb all to himself. Ida could even see him shaking, barely able to contain his wrath.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZfU3zWrum
Ida: “The others will most likely have their own plans. Can I count on you to help me capture the civilians?”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqNifJJyju
Mina: “Righto boss! You can count on me!”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2HILr4sBe
It was then, when a loud siren was heard across the city. The exercise has begun.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z1Qkd1n9c
Ida: “Alright, lets-”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH0119hWw9
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXtrkE3NXG
Izuku: “KACCHAN!! FIGHT ME!!”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpzfGUjIMk
That did it. Bakugo’s face split into a maddening grin before exploding into action.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw5zarsICf
Bakugo: “You… FUCKING NERD!!”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7LgxlTEzm
Tae followed soon after, jumping out the window and dashing into the city below.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY7GJ6kxN9
Ida: “That’s our cue. Let’s… ahem… go capture those civilians for our evil plans! Hahaha!”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY8DZyeWJ1
Mina: “That’s the spirit! Led the way.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXAIxTKfsm
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuv5270PWu
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrBT0JNQ6x
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeTv3ABAhL
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dCZYsAWRc
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZsSKbWwoi
The plan worked! But it also put a target on Izuku’s back.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG7zL9A1Ib
Izuku: ‘Not like it wasn’t already there.’
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwDYLOQwo5
He floats down to the ceiling below and waits for his former friend to appear. He didn’t have to wait long.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCJ1Ok6dmG
Appearing with a loud boom, Bakugo shot down onto the ceiling. He raises up from his knee while sparks erupt from his hands.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob49IVR1C3
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhvIIXv4RQ
Izuku: “Kacchan… ”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg43spfZ77K
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!?”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7yujDq5Wq
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!”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6lcvIijor
Izuku thinks back to the strategy meeting when he explained a bit about his relationship with Kacchan. Specifically, Momo’s response to his nickname.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqiiwrpHRt
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.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKyVs98GMT
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjLETLlWBc
The air was electric and ready for the clash of young titans. Words weren’t needed anymore.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0LyYgIPw8
Only-
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIiEhv8YVZ
Fwooosh!
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKKjiHtLg5
Action!
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCHqGlweo5
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCJHRNhd9l
Well, that’s what was supposed to happen. Instead, Bakugo unleashed enough force in an explosion to counteract the strength of the telekinetic hold.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCOt74IPry
Izuku: “Wha-”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0xVAKpFob
Bakugo bursts out of the smoke, damaged but still intact, and headbutts Izuku.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlCHvUbD01
Izuku: “Gah-”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdpSy1m8k3
Bakugo: “Stun Grenade!”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc1HrSPV4r
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvHKTz7Lxn
Bakugo: “You think you’re the only one who improved! You can never compare to me, Deku! Not even with a-”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhiSns4KJj
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigrRVJCXwJ
Predicting where he sent Bakugo, Izuku quickly got up, ripped concrete from the ceiling, and hurled it into the sky.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeANdsqb4un
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…
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV3M9ClQIx
Bakugo: “Die!!”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxRI0uhKBt
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qloksLZ2k
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLMx27fRCh
The resulting blast blew both titans off the building and caused the building to start collapsing.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtNzZRpdGE
Much to the annoyance of both teens, this battle would not be as easy as they thought.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaDovsSUkB
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4fedlMTdH
Momo watched the battle while driving through the city on the bike she created.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEha4QFapCa
Momo: “I guess it will take some time for Izuku to win.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeN7k9yEG1
Kirishima: “Y-Yeah.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BbLfEsr53
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYPPK8YiXA
He’s no pervert, but he’s still a man.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2efNz172oe
Kirishima: “A-Are we close to any civilians yet?”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdZlNh6Ktf
Momo: “No, keep an eye out.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTdIysCOl4
Kirishima: “Righ-”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmnqkipDho
Just then a frog girl jumped over the bike. Time slowed down as Tsuyu and Kirishima locked surprised eyes. When it resumed-
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVHtfsAL6A
Kirishima: “Wait!”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMHs2xI9TT
Momo slammed the brakes, forcing the bike to skid to a stop. Tsuyu, after landing, jumped over to them.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwCIPgHlTX
Tsuyu: “You came just in time, kero.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3BbTpqxzV
Momo: “Why? What’s-”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRUaQYI5PM
That’s when they noticed how out of breath Tsuyu was. The frog girl pointed behind them, and then they understood why.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCgoWgH21s
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwPLC5Pg0o
Kirishima: “No way… ”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucGBPVAhbd
Momo: “I didn’t expect to run into her this soon.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf8DWY5hJ1
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsCINMBXzm
He got off the bike and began his walk toward Kiri.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8x31c7fEm
Kirishima: “Get the civilian out of here; I’ll hold this villain off.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UYwk1u4Ve
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2UJQh8HHV
Despite that, Kiri didn’t chase them. After all, she had a new target.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskFzs8Mlf9
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnlNIX9BLp
Kiri: “Rock-man… you’re brave.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsh8lJR4eQ
Kirishima: “Haha, thanks. But what hero isn’t?”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncwr7fS16k
Kiri: “… True. But bravery… isn’t enough.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15xhRziEF3
Before Kirishima could react, he was in a wall, and his whole body hurt.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyrcnGLLcd
Kiri: “Stay down.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODYBMRMvxa
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgFoEhfXxc
Kirishima: “Don’t count me out just yet!”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLQzJoi2Rb
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!
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBesr34dma
Kiri: “…Okay.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXbwrk87QK
Unbeknownst to Kirishima, Kiri smiled at his fierce determination.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwabHmlnZd
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQufQcQMaY9
Jiro: ‘That was too close!’
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkb72u8fVX
Her hiding spot was pretty good until the building started falling apart!
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNecF4dqQ0m
Jiro: ‘I didn’t expect their battle to be that destructive. But honestly, I should’ve known.’
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1twILaGouD
Now Jiro was outside, running to find another place to hide before-
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveSuF5zrgf
Mina: “Well, looka here, a target.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpE7Pb7Ok0
Jiro looked up to see Mina on a nearby ceiling, giving the girl a sly smile.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdga74IQAg
Jiro: “Is there any way I can convince you to let me go?”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLDmqorsRR
Mina: “No can do civilian; I need to finish this up and catch back up to Ida.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiuPvY3q4F
Jiro: “Tch.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m4CuXmlmv
Jiro turned tail and ran from the villain. But she knew she couldn’t outrun Mina for long. She needed a plan.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbD6SnoOgH
Jiro: ‘No rule saying we can’t defend ourselves.’
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuPollLZC9
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o3NluknY0
Mina: “End of the line, hehehe.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV8Fvt2wvx
Jiro turns back to see Mina coming closer to her while holding the capture tape.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt7SKrj2sn
Jiro: “What do you plan to do to me, you dastardly villain?”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TAuua30Mr
Mina: “Come on, you can put a bit more energy into it.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyx3Xpz3jU
Jiro: “Sorry, I’ll be louder next time.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLXeE9WnmD
At that moment, Jiro plugged her ear jacks into the sound amplifiers in her boots. Next, Jiro unleashed a powerful sound wave at Mina.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlTtXdylbF
Mina: “Aaaah!”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcE9YhgxPd
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXjyqiutRE
Mina: “Ugh, what just happened?”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWSO5VrGoZ
Jiro: “A civilian just captured you.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnVbEcgeC0
Mina: “But… that’s not fair! You can do that?”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSH6QSVt56
Jiro: “No one said we can’t. Later.”
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiLOToT0q3
Jiro ran out of the alley quickly, knowing a hero or villain would be drawn to the sound.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPwzuBs9Ov
Mina: “Darn it!”451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpFu0z68F9
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9bXr474XS
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcE7EAcXMv
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhF7zCPma1
Because together, they would be far better heroes.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpa9vRsb7K
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.’
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDYR8afNNX
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcENwGjUxU2
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrWjogr8tg
Civilians can be a wild card for both the heroes and villains.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs40oRkNOSf
All Might: “In other words, expect the unexpected!”
