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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcUnxzyjPS
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc17ZMFI01H
Sero: “Please, tell me one of you has a plan.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBWvf8QcC9
Kirishima: “Yeah, we’re not in the best spot.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW3CuzmTkx
The group looks to Izuku and Momo, who then look at each other.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUXO9ugcAd
Izuku: “U-Us?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lmPyCgppe
Momo: “Well, I was coming up with something. Do you have anything?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO1JWMQ2OV
Izuku: “Really? That’s great! All I know is that Kacchan will come for me when it starts.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR16jLSUcKR
Momo: “Can you beat him?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8FyNSqfrA
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUnLdSvGin
Izuku: “Y-Yes. I don’t know how long it will take, but… I can win.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXD7q1jiAu
Momo: “Good, because you’re our best chance for winning.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeHkmztpJe
Izuku: “I-I am?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxR2stF7sS
Kirishima: “Of course!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCtpAMbxTF
Sero: “You’re our strongest team member.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjXBJOGXyW
Uraraka: “With you on our side, we can win this!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvPZgZNoFx
Izuku: “T-T-Thank you all. I-I won’t let you down!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObeYYegzSH
Momo: “Good, so here’s the plan.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC011BRfiNS
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzCDVLur1O
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE46fpzk7mK
Mina: “Haha, this will be fun!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYWajfRzLr
Ida: “It may just be a training exercise, but it still pains me to be a villain.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OgYx7pAVp
Mina: “Come on, just have fun with it.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDcb4PcGoB
Ida: “That will be hard considering the company.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2vPOWpm2v
He looks to his other teammates. Todoroki was sitting against the bomb; clearly, he was planning on guarding the bomb.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahXF0QFVlA
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…
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwYbunwxX2
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FmPNu7XEe
He was a bomb all to himself. Ida could even see him shaking, barely able to contain his wrath.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLrpHVvGkP
Ida: “The others will most likely have their own plans. Can I count on you to help me capture the civilians?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dSrA3po4h
Mina: “Righto boss! You can count on me!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0cemvtQQS
It was then, when a loud siren was heard across the city. The exercise has begun.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdkDXjzxVz
Ida: “Alright, lets-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnZF4QXjZq
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G7WWoRBvP
Izuku: “KACCHAN!! FIGHT ME!!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e8Rprix2n
That did it. Bakugo’s face split into a maddening grin before exploding into action.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck2ePSAeHl
Bakugo: “You… FUCKING NERD!!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vQ4NOTVmc
Tae followed soon after, jumping out the window and dashing into the city below.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIuRKGKX91
Ida: “That’s our cue. Let’s… ahem… go capture those civilians for our evil plans! Hahaha!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC1D7BVrE6
Mina: “That’s the spirit! Led the way.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zRRNRl5By
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMBf4c5ebC
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpedjA165m
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOp3FfIDbb
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB6Qsssb6w
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ25DAYoXLW
The plan worked! But it also put a target on Izuku’s back.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgWkln2N3I
Izuku: ‘Not like it wasn’t already there.’
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHPNKZg6kX
He floats down to the ceiling below and waits for his former friend to appear. He didn’t have to wait long.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72LCmYNAin
Appearing with a loud boom, Bakugo shot down onto the ceiling. He raises up from his knee while sparks erupt from his hands.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD94xmV8ZO1
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWUstqkQbz
Izuku: “Kacchan… ”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sgmj2txsq
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!?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDUNF78dDJ
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!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4mpGFo5aC
Izuku thinks back to the strategy meeting when he explained a bit about his relationship with Kacchan. Specifically, Momo’s response to his nickname.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJnmwGdLO6
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.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3STjtLrWsm
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW10dT6jlJN
The air was electric and ready for the clash of young titans. Words weren’t needed anymore.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHwgamjEJy
Only-
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNqd4QoxGY
Fwooosh!
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwt4NpikWO
Action!
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlorQ0zI7t
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU1CSBCzpz
Well, that’s what was supposed to happen. Instead, Bakugo unleashed enough force in an explosion to counteract the strength of the telekinetic hold.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopSPDbR5qQ
Izuku: “Wha-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRaojTXgoH
Bakugo bursts out of the smoke, damaged but still intact, and headbutts Izuku.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalpom7O2J0
Izuku: “Gah-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s9mUSjEt8
Bakugo: “Stun Grenade!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQiCt6i7rk
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC52SGkIxt2
Bakugo: “You think you’re the only one who improved! You can never compare to me, Deku! Not even with a-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGe19RrmcH
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZKbcf5ftb
Predicting where he sent Bakugo, Izuku quickly got up, ripped concrete from the ceiling, and hurled it into the sky.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzNZ8G9458
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…
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR9K9ac2XF
Bakugo: “Die!!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLXXgj5GHs
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBza5yBbc7I
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1hotPUXg6
The resulting blast blew both titans off the building and caused the building to start collapsing.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd6p3LtfwV
Much to the annoyance of both teens, this battle would not be as easy as they thought.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSKWBMlPCz
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeih3x5qsOE
Momo watched the battle while driving through the city on the bike she created.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpJX1Vlc5N
Momo: “I guess it will take some time for Izuku to win.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgFh85TxbU
Kirishima: “Y-Yeah.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOad76RP4hg
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjLMpaW0A0
He’s no pervert, but he’s still a man.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv7FgCiaBs
Kirishima: “A-Are we close to any civilians yet?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM9MjeqneP
Momo: “No, keep an eye out.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ph3vLSfYS
Kirishima: “Righ-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub881t6neA
Just then a frog girl jumped over the bike. Time slowed down as Tsuyu and Kirishima locked surprised eyes. When it resumed-
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClYcUZ4JTI
Kirishima: “Wait!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS9JTaktZr
Momo slammed the brakes, forcing the bike to skid to a stop. Tsuyu, after landing, jumped over to them.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS2tGHnoyw
Tsuyu: “You came just in time, kero.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMcAlSzYFF
Momo: “Why? What’s-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIpEqPoJwr
That’s when they noticed how out of breath Tsuyu was. The frog girl pointed behind them, and then they understood why.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YwCziglAz
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ayWDmXWSz
Kirishima: “No way… ”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt42Zl6dHx
Momo: “I didn’t expect to run into her this soon.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94fcIzdIA8
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKnrNt1F0X
He got off the bike and began his walk toward Kiri.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguYfPWgpeM
Kirishima: “Get the civilian out of here; I’ll hold this villain off.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLWqmRyrA3
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BT0VkLmRl
Despite that, Kiri didn’t chase them. After all, she had a new target.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF8d7y1xeg
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss4fDtqJ6r
Kiri: “Rock-man… you’re brave.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP8brrFi2L
Kirishima: “Haha, thanks. But what hero isn’t?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7pK5t5nQh
Kiri: “… True. But bravery… isn’t enough.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoM6ZaD5m9
Before Kirishima could react, he was in a wall, and his whole body hurt.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUmxDw3i92
Kiri: “Stay down.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgYTyqin0r
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSk7vPouOs
Kirishima: “Don’t count me out just yet!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqap06jEyd
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!
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspo84coDZ8
Kiri: “…Okay.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI1lDjWeAn
Unbeknownst to Kirishima, Kiri smiled at his fierce determination.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafp57UigSG
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD1tdBPnL6
Jiro: ‘That was too close!’
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNh6Tkkd1d
Her hiding spot was pretty good until the building started falling apart!
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2ehOkGn3I
Jiro: ‘I didn’t expect their battle to be that destructive. But honestly, I should’ve known.’
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHCyWr29a4
Now Jiro was outside, running to find another place to hide before-
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RKJpRgwQv
Mina: “Well, looka here, a target.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxJbKjJ4Dp
Jiro looked up to see Mina on a nearby ceiling, giving the girl a sly smile.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITMHyNLaBn
Jiro: “Is there any way I can convince you to let me go?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZMeSsImca
Mina: “No can do civilian; I need to finish this up and catch back up to Ida.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsp1l4wIVY
Jiro: “Tch.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOY5hzlDDU
Jiro turned tail and ran from the villain. But she knew she couldn’t outrun Mina for long. She needed a plan.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXn7whz9ue
Jiro: ‘No rule saying we can’t defend ourselves.’
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV3jxuepyU
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk8wakmEne
Mina: “End of the line, hehehe.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySQIt4N6cx
Jiro turns back to see Mina coming closer to her while holding the capture tape.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzdE7TNjtJ
Jiro: “What do you plan to do to me, you dastardly villain?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuIVxQ7feg
Mina: “Come on, you can put a bit more energy into it.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIniv11bm9
Jiro: “Sorry, I’ll be louder next time.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu3TS447J3
At that moment, Jiro plugged her ear jacks into the sound amplifiers in her boots. Next, Jiro unleashed a powerful sound wave at Mina.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh9DkOpeBz
Mina: “Aaaah!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1HeTUN6yt
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohLHbRyPEx
Mina: “Ugh, what just happened?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlj0LeZVSd
Jiro: “A civilian just captured you.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJuiARrZI8
Mina: “But… that’s not fair! You can do that?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8AkQnmL3Q
Jiro: “No one said we can’t. Later.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRV6Hy73sX
Jiro ran out of the alley quickly, knowing a hero or villain would be drawn to the sound.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LE1rxeO6m
Mina: “Darn it!”118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCdzNZP6JG
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvyoOHWuPo
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkSWV08pUn
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiWAlHdBC3
Because together, they would be far better heroes.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJCqSPqWjp
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.’
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylmCLRbMYA
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXerBCnMYMx
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KAIwc81Jb
Civilians can be a wild card for both the heroes and villains.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyvxopJqSK
All Might: “In other words, expect the unexpected!”
