No one moved.

Clang.
258Please respect copyright.PENANARrozFfdHjD
How could they?
258Please respect copyright.PENANAOtaleCnzjK
Clang
258Please respect copyright.PENANAxZDGP0Tc1D
Their bodies were constricted by some force.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAOQVb6yswG1

258Please respect copyright.PENANAdWdH3TGL9Z
Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
258Please respect copyright.PENANATbFsEf33cE
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAZMFSteIFDD
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAvoiP3uOKF9
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
258Please respect copyright.PENANADxKZPs9T5p
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAFlj4a2Nyop
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAKxoGYockWe
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAdiu1rreYk7
Mina: “Aw, man!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA4PFPmrZWg5
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA1ufkix8WuO
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA3TYj7Ufoo2
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAQdYgj9cV4Z
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAV6M1CrunMP
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA026E3ODnkD
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA465y61ivFe
Sabrina: “Hm.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAmpuOEpJmsh
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAgfVz1FCAAR
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA7L6igmXu3J
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAzjyM19LQ7s
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAVgSPnW7oAR
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!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAxKkFVKbKBo
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAKf0MIhy13U
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA8mQVSuzIuG
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAcZMe3imUHb
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAXL0KUwmXbT
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAtTs5iteymN
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAMfjNP3rVF9
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAkn0yfIb2ln
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA1hkZJykGmQ
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA8nApVmKfAu
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAS0XEjUyVtC
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA47RcEDDlrc
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
258Please respect copyright.PENANALjAEcSyfmz
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
258Please respect copyright.PENANANrB0UDFnyF
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAr68fEOebJi
Kaoru: “What the-”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAerpjsxT3dv
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA7mGaAUGTpe
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAkZZN0INFwj
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAU8ohVSYKdj
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAYJUGPH5dDs
Bakugo: “Tch”
258Please respect copyright.PENANASKdFYWy3jT
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAl9QoVkPXke
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA2N9bArBDDd
Kaoru: “Huh?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAStOfeWNeFg
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAOEWSaGYlYT
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAUx5Dj9ILON
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAKpjNVIPzpI
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA3ACeHlQhEa
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAuBu8gOSCvD
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA69aI7hbD80
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAW9BRMOznMt
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA8D76ywDddC
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAz6P88CbZGQ
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA1T1eaG1T1A
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAmGKN7ynqNQ
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAAR9ILeFC1Y
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAP8ShhBzoF7
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAUwV70wIiRx
Izuku: “Gah!
258Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4CXBxEVYl
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
258Please respect copyright.PENANApgay7J0l8Q
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAy4BYOo2ZdT
Izuku: “Ashido!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAp6KXyzXq4y
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAqxHeTdPBCo
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAVMay6ZFe2a
Izuku: “Hurry!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAwjOh9zXxhV
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAdLhLBvVIiK
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAmnS6FpjeNv
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAvahbOmzBlQ
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAChFXSxR3YG
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAdNcHPNDXtH
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
258Please respect copyright.PENANAfhUGKeY2TY
Kiri: “Onii.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAzdT1VMBDfq
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAnm5pqtqRpa
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANArszUDP6uku
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA3tnHzZUSUn
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANArQDybw5ZBW
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAaEEYqUlgW8
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAJg0hWCuxdu
Kiri: “Izu… ”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAEQhZvL3K4g
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAxN6CtfhR6O
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAqY6BSHIyIB
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAojqCZyXi1Z
Kiri: “Wha-”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA8tvP7FefCy
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA6SNmTfp9zs
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAeaaVkUCLWy
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAw9Pe5R60vx
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!!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAMicVggN5xT
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAAfz26SwnX5
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAvHS9d3twCW
Sabrina: “Did we?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAsKF3mwDt7x
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANANRr5dgbagF
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAePnT6CUFDm
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANALhzhSn6g8n
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAOX1m9R5sl5
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAX9ZVkQdvI2
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAesz7HLrgZ6
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAT1vFgMkvcV
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAcOuxgTZVdn
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA1w8AIeNduy
BOOOM!!
258Please respect copyright.PENANAL8oblNuoOS
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAjzjDpRtATf
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAWlYBJfEnpa
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAUec8sgry5l
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAUSSsiEff0R
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAPCX26rAxCd
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!!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAyMs0Gm4g5d
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAXUVeiG63Rm
Kaoru: “Ready?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAMOehnC35dv
Momo: “Yes!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAcsK8vl4quD
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAfrxCeo1g6s
Sabrina: “Lock!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA7WE7gRaUNr
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAituaHZBK6O
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA2gVlFXVvsb
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
258Please respect copyright.PENANATppYiukYjE
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
258Please respect copyright.PENANAOkeX1nuiox
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
258Please respect copyright.PENANATpNONppZQQ
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
258Please respect copyright.PENANAkexveDyWaz
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
258Please respect copyright.PENANArDv662opPy
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA1hKqzd7PxF
Kiri: “Uh.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAIt4d8JeIdj
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAsp1xVl9eQI
Boom!
258Please respect copyright.PENANAsB1i7aiugy
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAdS3oDULA2R
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANACSa6L9GmHx
This was it!
258Please respect copyright.PENANA3e8Cbbxh1N
She was going to-
258Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3mHZKONm7
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAV4f7K9ADiP
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAuLowB7MUhq
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
258Please respect copyright.PENANAqHScQ9MmlA
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAumKrKvor3W
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAezIvaff0bQ
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAaGzSdtV6BH
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAxy1NSeZ1kS

4. Izuku Midoriya (Class A)
5. Kiri Tae (Class A)

7. Sabrina Kanto (Class B)
8. Shouto Todoroki (Class A)
9. Ibara Shiozaki (Class B)
10. Tenya Ida (Class A)

17. Tsuyu Asui (Class A)
18. Mezo Shoji (Class A)
19. Ochaco Uraraka (Class A)
20. Kyoka Jiro (Class A)
258Please respect copyright.PENANAd0BFMAVLCQ
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAdOSgoCKGUX
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAo71ZnBpkje
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAtDhldrTBcY
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAGCDILU7fj8
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAGXdtorbkZ5
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA3PTcIyBTw5
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAET2yj4Eduv
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?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAprln1FAJMY
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANArpHpWwQNJU
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAC46JwU1nbL
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
258Please respect copyright.PENANA9HvAu5PAvF
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAfSVRjW3OsE
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAKxGAMTaKQK
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAhylk91IS5N
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
258Please respect copyright.PENANAyuGxpvwSQB
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!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANACJvkuleCOD
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!!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAQqXwcqDoui
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAIMLLVA9uDZ
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAErWfb5TdkZ
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA2plMMwWnSk
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.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAsi2YQX6yyx
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAakZuwogMtE
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
258Please respect copyright.PENANABfA6ASOuWr
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAhR4dOqU0LL
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAOAgUU7nxZo
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA21prIOsdz9
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAnGQuDWsry1
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAbdcZyyy5fE
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAaNgMeXuefx
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
