Everyone had 15 minutes to gather their teammates. While they did that, the rest of the rules were laid out.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2Kkt47eXF
The headband’s worth is equal to the total points of the horse’s members.
The rider may not equip their headband on any area besides above their neck.
Even if the team loses their headband or their horse crumbles, they’re not out.
Headbands can only be taken physically.
Only the top 6 teams will advance.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc61HBa4zef
The fourth one was added for those with psychic quirks. After Tatsumaki soloed this entire event, this role was created.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cjOE3o0yu
As for the team formations, Momo was watching as the teams quickly formed.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZzMFp926W
Bakugo was pretty popular and ended up with Mina, Kirishima, and Sero.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RkSX0xWwi
Todoroki managed to get those close in his rankings, even if they were in class B. To challenge himself, Ida agreed to join with him alongside Ibara and Honenuki.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IIqXuF6Lo
As expected, Aoi teamed up with her closest friends: Kaoru, Shiho, and Sabrina.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ts5E1J1NX
Finally, the team Momo was conflicted on. She wanted to join Izuku, but what Ida said to him stuck with her.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYWq30MVZO
Ida: “Ever since the entrance exam, I’ve been doing nothing but lose to you. You’re an amazing friend, but it’s precisely because of that fact that if I only ever follow you, I’ll never grow myself.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx70LKaBjgr
If she joined with Izuku, would she be preventing her own growth? Shouldn’t she also see him as a rival and challenge him again?
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP2lB2Ez7U
In the end, thanks to her indecision, Izuku formed his team: Kiri, Uraraka, and Tokoyami.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBocOkxbE9
So where does that leave Momo? Well, not alone, to her pleasant surprise.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkOF3Q3cgT
Mei: “Let’s team up!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp75d8QJ3Bz
Momo: “Huh!?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNky0f9Hzi2
That girl from before was right in her face with a manic grin. Momo took a step back from the possibly insane girl.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK1zAbmvPv
Momo: “Team up? With me?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvAsfwcxHZ
Mei: “Of course! Your creation in the race was almost as great as my babies! Your quirk is the ability to create things, right!?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RSeSPcu80
Momo: “Y-Yes.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t4p6kJVy6
Mei: “Excellent! Together, we can create even more amazing babies!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK77Kq8wdCc
If the girl’s enthusiasm and invasion of personal space didn’t do it, that statement finished the job and painted Momo’s face red.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcSRoimoPI
Momo: “B-Babies? I-”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIFRu0YH7h
Jiro: “I think she means her support gear.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcjy4CKmZR
Momo: “Kyoka!?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnciAwaL1B
And alongside her was Denki, who was smiling at Mei’s antics.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3rFtIGu11
Mei: “Correct! I’m Hatsume Mei of the Dept. of support! Not only will we create magnificent babies, but your position will be sure to draw attention to my super cute babies!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pHCdmvdGk
Denki: “Trying to get the attention of some big shot, huh!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRfE4sMpqG
Mei: “Yes!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkWRBRRiP5
Momo: “I see… well, I won’t turn you away if you want to team up with me. Kyoka, did you… find a team?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJpTRrXbIO
Jiro: “No, that’s why we’re here. Want to team up?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii9VQAeyVM
Momo: “Y-Yes! Thank you.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkmjrrkEcp
Denki: “We should be thanking you. With you, I think we have a chance to win.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHky0mQLmd
Jiro: “You’re just saying that because she’s the only one that can protect the rest of us from your lightning.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7734LgqRYy
Denki: “Yeah, but I still want to team up with her.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh97ZIPoqT5
Jiro: “I saw you eyeing Todoroki before I dragged you over here, dummy.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP40700HV0
Regardless of the reasons, Momo is happy that she got a team that believes in her.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsdcS31Rz4
Momo: ‘This time, for sure. We even teamed up before during the villain attack…’
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N6A9yj4sM
But it wouldn’t have ended well if not for the Pro Hero Snipe.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulmaARSeq4
Momo: ‘No, don’t think about it. We can do this.’
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTatENd0Ae
Teams decided and horse formation created, the time had come.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUKlttHTF8
Present Mic “All right, have you all formed your teams?!! Well, you better have!! Let’s do it!! Let’s start the countdown to vicious clash!!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyoXdb23DN

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdml3T2UoCs
Bakugo: “We’ve all got-”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXbvvVySTc
Bakugo’s team points: 640
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh9aHYhHMe

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjf8Q1EKTD
Todoroki: “Just one target.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt90gqO3f1F
Todoroki’s team points: 670
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mHxx5cepK

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKHVyPLg9E
Izuku and Momo look at their targets from the rider position.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FbxcIisws
Izuku’s team points: 660
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE0feMIEf5
Momo’s team points: 425
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwM6p3FSmj
START!
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ716MCSdAAG
Kaoru: “Bring it on!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYNixpwus8
Aoi’s team points: 10 mil and 475
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoUAAuUIWc
The opening attack was instant; Sabrina’s eyes flashed red in an effort to lock everyone down. But as expected, Izuku counters with his own quirk.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wpjV5dHNn
Sabrina: “I’ll keep him distracted. Do your thing, Kaoru.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYef7q7MEE9
Kaoru: “Yeah!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAMYD09bMS
But before Kaoru, the front legs of the horse, can charge in, her legs are submerged underground.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqbXZuKZi6
Kaoru: “Houenuki!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KiJoGz4pm
She looks at the approaching Todoroki team and the seemingly guilty Houenuki.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy9U1LTuB4
Aoi: “All’s fair and all that?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DXM2lL0ta
Shiho: “Watch out!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYaalHs0OM
Aoi turns just in time to see Bakugo, off his horse, aiming straight for her headband.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMeakurRLg
Bakugo: “Die!!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TCNNUPytE
Right before defeat claimed them, Aoi teleported the entire team feet away.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rzX0B4gIp
Bakugo: “Wha-”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEy9VYOaQ2
Before Bakugo falls to the ground, he is retrieved by Sero’s tape.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYXGJz9XbY
Present Mic: “What do we see heeeere!! The rider can detach from the horse!? That’s allowed!?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S2XtFWSSO
Midnight: “It’s only a technical; the rider’s just not allowed to plant their feet on the ground or stay airborne for more than 5 seconds!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFhdgZQ2sV
Five seconds is more than enough.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WifnPrySx
A flash of green later, and Aoi is once again in danger of losing her headband.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVaLFrglee
Sabrina: “Foolish, lock.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZMcCrcpxv
Izuku is locked in place, right when he was about to grab the headband. He wasn’t fast enough to get the headband and block the lockdown.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNb7eGggTA
Kaoru: “Just keep him there for 5 seconds!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURQM0CZync
Bakugo glares at Deku’s risky maneuver. If Deku loses here, the person Bakugo lost to, what will that say about him? But before the explosive boy can charge in, he feels his headband being taken.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXdImxa4qh
Neito: “Like taking candy from a baby, class A.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W7ATWmBF3
Bakugo: “What the fuck, fucking assrag piece of shit motherfucking fuck, give it back!! I’ll kill you!!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d64IEjcWg
Mina: “We’ve been had!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVZFpXa1ur
Neito: “You’re much too focused on the ten million. Not like you could take it from those girls anyway.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHPvfCj1jm
Kirishima: “The rest of class-B is surrounding us!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdldiNH4PYd
Neito: “Ah, now that I look at you, aren’t you the victim of the sludge incident? Tell me all about it next time. How it must feel to be attacked by a villain once every year, I mean.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV93pyRpBE
Before Bakugo could explode in anger, another explosion shook the area.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuQ96taC5J
A bloom of green light enveloped the area.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rkjqfm5gu
Sabrina: “Ugh!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3EHRjxsqC
Izuku broke out the lock and teleported back to his horse, exhausted.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdO00GAbQp
Kiri: “Onii!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpQneJeoDH
Izuku: “Keep… moving!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo5eQx6HTK
As for Sabrina, she was forced to her knee, unbalancing the horse.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYrXJ0PMub
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm2lffsvw9
Todoroki: “Shiozaki!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm9uEsJ6vD
A green vine shot straight for Aoi, and she couldn’t react in time. The vine got the headband and returned to her team.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fyPlMN6Y6
Aoi: “Darn it.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9EFl9Qko6
Ibara: “Forgive me, miss Nogami.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGy491A5o2
Todoroki doesn’t give them a glance and returns to the battlefield.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5CaDPp3IV
Sabrina: “I’m sorry too. He… was stronger than I expected.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PQAjgrIfq
Kaoru: “It’s not over yet! Come on!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxg3XKQWRe
The once top team returns to the battlefield. Neito and Bakugo saw the whole thing. Bakugo couldn’t help but laugh at the turn of events.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSDfzLExaZ
He’ll be sure to take that headband from halfnhalf, but for now… he’s free to enact some payback.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKX6SXVDAd
Bakugo: “Kirishima, change of plans. Before Todoroki and Deku, let’s send these goddamn shitstains to some early graves!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRkjrDJAas
Neito gulps at the enraged Bakugo but keeps a calm facade up. After all, he’s sure his class can turn this around once more.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6GeuXSXiH
Back to the Todoroki, his team has become the target. But as long as he can keep the ten million, he wins.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx1DuVClOC
Kaoru: “Stand still!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuzAFv2kIQ
Thanks to Ida’s speed and Honenuki’s softening, they are able to avoid most attacks. Aoi is constantly teleporting out of the softening, and Izuku’s team has to defend against the vines from Ibara.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3PRUWguGs
At this rate, time will run out and Aoi’s team will be at the bottom.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqSShuHtWq
Sabrina: “I may need to-”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXGzDT9lZ1
Kaoru: “No! Save it for later. I got this. Aoi, get ready, I’m going all in.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7hvGiBmtV
Aoi: “Right!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqUIB7gLr4
Kaoru focuses while building up energy and enveloping her friends with protective shields.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vp8pjTrxX
Meanwhile, Dark Shadow knocks away more vines while Izuku prepares once more to teleport.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIXAilnOuJ
Izuku: “Don’t worry, they don’t have anyone that can stop me. Kiri, Uraraka, are you ready?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UW4tB8lQZ
Kiri, the front, nods while tensing her legs.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgOdajzXUv
Uraraka: “Yep!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyKARCHSYP
Grasping his chance, Izuku teleports again. Todoroki sees it coming, but it doesn’t change the fact he can barely react to it. Izuku appears behind him, aiming for the one million around his neck.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vOcwLzYVI
Instinctively, Todoroki uses his flaming side to try and deter Izuku. But being an esper, Izuku is able to mentally push aside his arm and grab one of the headbands around Todoroki’s neck before teleporting away.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNoIKvcuQq
Todoroki: ‘My left side… what am I doing!?’
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzd2Qwfcvj
Ida: “Todoroki!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7in1Nrvkx
Still frozen by what he did, he was blindsided by Izuku’s strategy.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVs4wZfjXE
Kiri was already moving when Izuku teleported. She was much faster thanks to Uraraka making their team weightless. Tokoyami dealt with the vines while Kiri charged forward into position.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdBnTqRZXl
Izuku teleported back onto his team, perfectly on time to snatch another headband from the other side of Todoroki.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXmx98cMLJ
Izuku: “Got it!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbohWHEvgo
Kiri kept the monument with a smile. But that’s when Kaoru saw her chance.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJx4s1vEAw
Kaoru: “Charge!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p8LHgEySS
A blinding red light caught Izuku off guard and even shrunk Dark Shadow. The next instant, Izuku felt his headband come off.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjl4DvOD4C
Aoi: “Thanks for your contribution.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY9jKMJcAA
Before Kiri could turn the horse around to face their enemies, Aoi had already teleported away.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN8tfyTTuj
Kiri: “Tch.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTW7FJKBW8
Uraraka: “It’s okay, we got the ten million.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitsWm7c7BF
Izuku: “No, we didn’t.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnR2tpX3mi
The esper looked at the headbands he got and saw numbers other than ten million.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeKdmFxXlG
Izuku: “It must still be on his neck. He shuffled them around.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS76octJXS4
Ida: “Pull your wits about you, Todoroki!! That was dangerous! And we’re not safe yet!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ar9KXKCZ2
Todoroki snaps out of it and sees Izuku’s and Aoi’s team charging him. He also hears explosions coming from above. He breathes cold air, ready to freeze them and collect their headbands afterwards.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW3hhniFdO
Present Mic: “TIME UP!!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOkiMz9xYx
Bakugo fell out of the sky while Izuku squeezed his eyes in frustration. It was over.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmywDpV3RdA
Aoi: “Darn, we only ended up with Midoriya’s 660 headband.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W780Aqsc2
Kaoru: “That’s not too bad.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk98e4iJm75
Sabrina: “We could have done better.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUIPD5os0Q
Shiho: “Don’t blame yourself, Sabrina.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8muF0LTE6y
Sabrina: “I’m not. I’m only stating the fact that we could have done better.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKNOtlrxsu
She looks at Izuku and narrows her eyes.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhz12TQDPI
Sabrina: ‘Shame, I would have liked to challenge him again.’
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ0c1ZKy3I
Present Mic: “Now shall we see who our top 6 are!?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb9UC4s0a1
1. Team Todoroki
2. Team Yaoyorozu
3. Team Bakugo
4. Team Shinsou
5. Team Nogami
6. Team Midoriya
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC7ghz7xyu
Sabrina: ‘Ah, never mind.’
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwJL6TBTtS
Midoriya breathed a sigh of relief.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKO42ip5C5
Uraraka: “We made it!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggggToHpKT
Kiri: “Ih.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmgYRMavJj
Tokoyami: “Indeed. Yaoyorozu’s team is a surprise, however.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGvplKoJYb
Izuku looks at Momo and sends her mental congratulations.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXLbLQfiMD
Izuku: “Great job, Yaoyorozu!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8mTrJSNt7
Momo: “M-Midoriya! T-Thank you, but I still missed first place. I was so focused on gathering extra headbands that I missed my chance to go for the ten million.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlwBAXgNVZ
Izuku: “That’s fine! It was chaotic anyway; you made the right choice to stay out of it.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj2eWWees7
Momo: “… I suppose.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP3fiHOekw
Mei: “What are you spacing out for?!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRzKJ3fVGF
Momo: “O-Oh, sorry Hatsume.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFwOLVtxlB
Mei: “This was a great chance to test some of my babies, but we didn’t get to shine as much as I liked. I need to make up for it with the next event!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9lYHSxAk6
Momo: “I-I’m sorry.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNdxTq2CJF
Jiro: “Ignore her, it’s fine, Momo. If we did it her way, we may not have made it.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42rwlTuo9y
Momo: ‘You don’t think we could have won either… ’
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKeHyzUGYW
As for Todoroki, he glares at his accursed arm.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYbiRWzHAv
Todoroki: ‘I said I’d never use it. I made a promise to myself. But when I was threatened…’
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0nRCneriu
Todoroki: “I… I can’t let it go on like this… this is exactly what he wants…”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0ITx09aI4
Present Mic: “The next event will be after lunch break! See you then!!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcFnUVRXRx
He turns to Izuku and walks towards him. There is much to discuss.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcAbZxcLGn
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctZYziLXbr
Kiri: ‘So close… ’
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOSYmAHmxe
She and her onii-chan were so close to failure. She could have reacted better to Akashi. She could have insisted on being on top instead; maybe then Izuku would have put himself at risk.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWftuG6QSk
Maybe if she were on top, she could have gotten the ten million.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P5K0koIgK
Kiri: ‘No.’
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVf2t7jBdh
There is no point in thinking about the past. She’ll do better next time. He needs her to be better.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYOjlhCkgv
Kiri: “Onii, let’s-”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqO45WzPzL
Kiri: ‘Gone?’
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiPu3jrKJC
Uraraka: “Where’s Midoriya?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxP39orDce
Kiri: ‘It seems I’m not the only one wondering. But I’m the only one that can find him.’
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uQwC8OzUK
Kiri slips from the group heading to the mess hall and follows Izuku’s psychic signature. It didn’t take her long; it was in one of the hallways.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQWrgI60jv
But it would seem she wasn’t the only one who knew how to find her brother.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6zFJia2Nf
Kiri: “Bomb boy.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ839q9yuYHn
Bakugo: “Tch, ghost girl.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWVVJwu1I5
The two glare at each other, but before they can throw any verbal blows, they hear Izuku.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4z9rs2h95
Izuku: “So… what is it? What do you want to tell me? If we stay too long, it will get crowded.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJohRekKTr
Seeing that their objective is the same, the two call a truce, lean against the wall and listen.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFqEZkdaRc
Todoroki: “Your quirk… overwhelmed me enough to force me to break my pledge. I’m… one of the few to have seen your full power. That power and the quirk your sister has, they both remind me of people we both know.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EKiQeWQz6
Izuku: “… What are you trying to say?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTN95wdQwi
Todoroki: “I just find you and your sister interesting. I know you’re related to Tornado, and Tae is apparently adopted. More than that, you both caught All Might’s eye. Which leads me to my question; is your sister All Might’s Illegitimate child, and did he ask the number two hero to take care of it?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfAYpO9t1c
Izuku: “… Huh?!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoGfyjmRsy
Bakugo looks at Kiri with wide eyes; considering her strength, it might not be far off. But Kiri shakes her head violently, denying such ridiculous claims.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrwsllvLsH
Izuku: “That’s not it at all! Their quirks may seem similar, but I promise you that is not the reason.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaQUOzZERt
Todoroki: “The way you said that, ‘That’s not it’. In other words, there is a connection between you all. Something you can’t talk about. Whatever that might be, you must know about my father, Endeavor.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte9dySrn32
Izuku: “… I do.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1OtbFgWTG
Todoroki: “He was the number two hero forever, and then your sister comes in and drops him to third place. You’re not only connected to the person who did that, but to All Might, the person he wants to surpass more than anything. Because of this, I need to win all the more.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb0rmqpxMn
That’s when Todoroki revealed his past. His father, the quirk marriages, and his mother…
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8diNmmVe1
Todoroki: “I’ll become number one, a hero, without needing to use his quirk. This is my total disavowal of him.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAPSkeuXTq
Izuku and the two eavesdroppers stood shocked at his reason for reaching for number one. They all have different reasons for becoming a hero.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n2fuTZwsw
To be the best.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE312MyIILT
To be a hero like All Might.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm7lu2wieD
To stand alongside their family.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKph9Kmfmrx
But those reasons feel… shallow somehow when compared to Todoroki’s. However, that won’t stop them from fighting and reaching that coveted pedestal.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DNUXxA5aN
Todoroki: “If you can’t tell me anything, that’s fine. You two can keep being All Might’s something-or-other. I’ll overcome you two using only my right side.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ8pGiCzCH
Izuku: “My… reason for reaching number one may not be as good as yours. I want to be like All Might, to stand next to my sisters with pride. I need to… master and… control my quirk for that to happen.”

Izuku: “It may be a poor, and maybe even a selfish motive compared to yours. Even so, I can’t lose. For those that believe in me, to pay back my family for taking care of me when I was quirkless. So I’ll echo your declaration of war.”

Kiri closes her eyes and smiles at his words. She won’t disappoint him either; she’ll try her best. As for Bakugo, his gaze is blank so as not to give anything away to Kiri.

He shakes his head when hearing that rare voice. Out of all the main ones, his hurt Izuku’s head the most. So many strange voices overlayed onto the main sickening one.He always comes around when Izuku wants to do something creative or expand his mental abilities.

Tatsumaki: “That being said, I still expect you two to come out on top in the next event. Sabrina seems like a glass cannon; overwhelming force may help. That Akashi girl is strong but she is reckless, I’m sure you two can outsmart her.”
