No one moved.

Clang.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAocYinsxGqp
How could they?
114Please respect copyright.PENANAbUNWBq1t0r
Clang
114Please respect copyright.PENANAak9Wt8Nrmx
Their bodies were constricted by some force.
114Please respect copyright.PENANA4RRD2t3yCu

114Please respect copyright.PENANAF7STQA8Sjp
Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAs5E7z0U9n7
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAXazZlHZZvc
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANA0fNyazQE8Z
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
114Please respect copyright.PENANAewupM0BdNp
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
114Please respect copyright.PENANADbB0ffsCNh
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAmuW01SHnBm
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAkJlXIjVdJk
Mina: “Aw, man!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAh12oNI7v1B
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA700v4OZAl5
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
114Please respect copyright.PENANA7lXcnzAb5d
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAUqMnkmOMzO
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAFMR19xLNfk
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAmpIykx0HZf
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAIIFg0zjSDH
Sabrina: “Hm.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA9bFdUhOlcR
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAtHM7aK2n5R
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAiV9utuuLmK
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAXoD8XUrdES
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAm4fVmc7tDL
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!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANALe4nKAjwZh
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAaWpDVeBUP6
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAY8mFn5eRdc
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAKZvPWx1lN4
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAwfkvHWSKdY
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA1dE6CbdrSc
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAq2NglFEVhv
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAAE0Evj5dKU
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANA8Wv8mG1QBb
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAUjaKieilYJ
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAUSHNmG8UuK
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANA8LhaMlZxln
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAdhOHazwwBo
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAYVuhgW7xHr
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
114Please respect copyright.PENANA1fMND0rKKJ
Kaoru: “What the-”
114Please respect copyright.PENANALxigcNUfrN
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAUw5zLFPksa
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
114Please respect copyright.PENANANVrRFXi1C7
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAR2yJhtmGu4
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAqimHl4994e
Bakugo: “Tch”
114Please respect copyright.PENANACEof00HCrJ
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAlcPSQSeeV2
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAo9RE8EuHSz
Kaoru: “Huh?”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAeCV6nay82J
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAsHVOn10ghW
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAO0hRFlU89v
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAO8Zu5IALhB
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAyhxexlLykO
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAaMlLoEqTlc
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANA476odQXLNx
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAMFIgs94dJB
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAazvwzMdBUa
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANA4MYpdLSRuB
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAVfUPFT1WwA
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAH05RvogtR6
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAhxGAwwcgSW
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANArDqK9EO62X
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAbvSrzWmfcU
Izuku: “Gah!
114Please respect copyright.PENANAiQrrY7I6fF
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAyQQuWUG32M
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAdDwiFntSg1
Izuku: “Ashido!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA8jhkF8Nt20
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAieBhHGSX2j
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAzV8lRVx3u1
Izuku: “Hurry!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAD0xJzYNzYG
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAYpVV2pzk4n
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAJTaGcQa1q3
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAaYDFHr6tMH
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAEmCNd4681x
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAH2E3pt6rIh
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
114Please respect copyright.PENANApJo6Du0j7y
Kiri: “Onii.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAlXMmuZHqsU
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA4ytutfizXi
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAYCqYLsC0GR
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAfpvRVAJ43X
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAfAQ8loZNIY
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAGOCJwAifUF
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAV1C51vbAVB
Kiri: “Izu… ”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ac1LakK4E
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAz3mY4YAwCc
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAGRbJpsAbC0
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAbU469hkooj
Kiri: “Wha-”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA8eNEwpFSmW
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAsfF6L76PX9
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAdzvo3rkaTi
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAxi07X9iRDL
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!!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANASwaj9nfbMM
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAPR0ZSDyMYx
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAJAD4aByepg
Sabrina: “Did we?”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA5VAayr175E
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANANHaTrT75yH
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAe2gjRWG3b2
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA4njxOSQXNh
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANA2GiwelZ5K5
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAfVxSBIWIao
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANARwkHLdKWOS
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAVLrkZU1AIx
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANA3cfqOe0w7Q
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAWoYO0VWoFn
BOOOM!!
114Please respect copyright.PENANAKL2ljYBHS6
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAdKzRE76e0w
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAn2wSQxam80
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAlJFtEaLoh4
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAOOTyE8697c
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA0A5UUJ3pER
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!!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAk4CswKhlHM
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ1VHlT0YR
Kaoru: “Ready?”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA9pVSxBrLup
Momo: “Yes!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAKpcTJBcLZZ
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
114Please respect copyright.PENANACmp7ZBK1KQ
Sabrina: “Lock!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAYyz5j2zGOq
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
114Please respect copyright.PENANArBqXL6ZSkt
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAwxQLStaIh8
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAExfDOxBkMH
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
114Please respect copyright.PENANAzLfNu1VczS
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAdG4lT540Fa
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
114Please respect copyright.PENANA0UUoWQ7Q4z
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
114Please respect copyright.PENANA9Udyep9Uqf
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAashIbDVHMf
Kiri: “Uh.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAvk093aRBcc
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAm5fd8iHxGJ
Boom!
114Please respect copyright.PENANArjosgGxIFM
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAUy8d2oRt8h
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAfC7dKFGLuX
This was it!
114Please respect copyright.PENANAjSPXH6HOkR
She was going to-
114Please respect copyright.PENANADRG6BXZqZc
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAhvWxQF341Q
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA5FlT0Dh0u4
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
114Please respect copyright.PENANAkhVlwHogOX
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAsOPqLrzQgt
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAuA1YmqmunJ
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
114Please respect copyright.PENANA4sjdy0lju5
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAd80wCrqUCX

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)
114Please respect copyright.PENANA4ictlOPJ9v
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAxVZsXPtMBd
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAo2O8YB51g1
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
114Please respect copyright.PENANApQv3jLYehI
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAveLHi8SKwB
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAwIdaYwidfp
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANACdRXcWMzYV
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA9Nvscnv5sB
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?”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAqtdKvfU0gB
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAbIhkbi7OdO
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAUv1Xupafho
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
114Please respect copyright.PENANASTSKzNJSfn
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAOIkYjpWRWE
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAFmza3jWrD7
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANATfJH9HZNO8
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
114Please respect copyright.PENANAci3JeaQ1dc
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!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAOX78FUscPV
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!!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAYRLa887iWY
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAbgtKcw3KZz
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAU2vptcaPU6
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA2F0AV1PF2f
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.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAhdJ1zJz54T
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAsrJfGuE98B
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA9dqScR1KHH
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAYBK2OrtKJW
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANADaQ3nciMqv
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
114Please respect copyright.PENANABrMshWxMw1
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZaiAdZWhC
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAveth1vnHCX
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
114Please respect copyright.PENANA20tMD9qbdP
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
