No one moved.

Clang.

How could they?
48Please respect copyright.PENANA59jdQ3ke0d
Clang
48Please respect copyright.PENANAlLp6jmW39E
Their bodies were constricted by some force.

Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAp3Krz8UeDt
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAqfqh36CMPU
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANApMDvttJmDm
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
48Please respect copyright.PENANAykRRG1a1eT
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAf5MfXHn2aG
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAm7uAZp6Gdy
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAA4mI0GGPU8
Mina: “Aw, man!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANArY1ixxUxuK
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA5EtqGUVY5i
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAe6ecOwdJYE
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAwSLa1o2Oid
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAh9u0si8P87
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
48Please respect copyright.PENANALnNWUnX4Pq
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA1kPtCz0B11
Sabrina: “Hm.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAScp3spLXNs
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA5XwKsSUy71
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA96K3NajhIH
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAdHHNiG9c08
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAtgql5Ckruj
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!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA7uHEiaq9VK
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA9JpQzPeUfo
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAYwPFRv6QZi
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAmOJ95iJ1h6
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFt6b8p0fzi
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAekLnstXomP
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAsqwUfTsK1u
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAO5eeoXw1i4
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANArvBk5m52KO
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAlOtamPbOmw
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA08yb9CjWRm
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAYTcDm9r6bU
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAEtUwnb3Jzl
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAnSnBwnYVkS
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAPqyY2jhzg6
Kaoru: “What the-”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAtXJ1YmyI4Y
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAIyFrNIqrkW
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAlxHWOietSb
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAOw5cm9mWWH
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAitRk4tIoqH
Bakugo: “Tch”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAfbbaoRgQkX
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAesrO01t1w2
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANACnaDRZaM3y
Kaoru: “Huh?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANADVo6hOSOjT
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA4TKidI3KJE
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA2dsbXvLVCB
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANASXktI7KACk
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAA08Lszwaj1
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA2HVZaP0Bvu
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANACrgYQuoVnV
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANADaCG407UpG
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAQNnHzm1FUv
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA5836pUdNzC
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANApBBxOVsV2O
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAJdT82Q63vm
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANACp67F7kjL5
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAQmbYFEWfTO
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA6WM1YLtqIL
Izuku: “Gah!
48Please respect copyright.PENANAzfHQlhVPUv
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAd8TOHYciec
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAHsasqSSKDd
Izuku: “Ashido!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAS2XqZC0GDu
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAn0Ui39mhdu
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANASyWxXQZ8NJ
Izuku: “Hurry!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAcHfahY5PWR
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAbeQadm9zSG
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAULIfEmrpve
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANArOGlKZQAYO
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAhXNMTN6Npo
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA2R4V964Zcb
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
48Please respect copyright.PENANAPomFpZU7cd
Kiri: “Onii.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAycPWbUex9c
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANARNWw5duJTV
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAfd1ZHqDDwg
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAtuptJIS5XK
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANATGRj9ll4Nj
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAdBo02WV1Bg
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAHXZV4ckic9
Kiri: “Izu… ”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAEIDaaEuA8k
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAhUbmXXf53F
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAswj0G1kSuH
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAGoM1vq3kKe
Kiri: “Wha-”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA3PUI2UhLh2
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAMWGIyId8Fd
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFD009UXzns
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAyyStbAPYzg
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!!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAhYI7yPGssB
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAiAKIxpdXTw
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAwNLYlxcutO
Sabrina: “Did we?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAr4LpfusWYY
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAP86eUGPAHN
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA7MP4EnvcXV
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAGYb44dju7X
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANALmxwXDut1O
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAls17ikBGjL
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAsAsGvipeNG
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAmb96IpSn69
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAOzMrWASXal
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAzUP1BzunjW
BOOOM!!
48Please respect copyright.PENANAsNJbgVS31P
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAMJBgd9jo3O
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAkl8vhFPgcQ
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAmZYpdPgfcd
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAVBoTMad7nn
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAE1GioLZOdm
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!!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAuz4452nh4p
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAehXEbbrieA
Kaoru: “Ready?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA0HqCKKKXBz
Momo: “Yes!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA3IvBlafoxY
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAcMBakJI1oM
Sabrina: “Lock!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAjzgsxkdADl
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAHePC2ZT7F4
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANANKMSi3Gg2v
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAMMuOebmSbt
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
48Please respect copyright.PENANAVF2lXJWYCA
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAat8O2NYHUF
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
48Please respect copyright.PENANAUnUy8sw1nF
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAwoZ4LunCK8
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAlyZka0gBdh
Kiri: “Uh.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAmLNVvvsp5P
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAwyIVa0rey7
Boom!
48Please respect copyright.PENANAQRwwbLRbT5
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAkDoF7XVLym
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAa2oYMre23Y
This was it!
48Please respect copyright.PENANA4hqTyCrCC5
She was going to-
48Please respect copyright.PENANAwIQ85LqPll
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA0otzLAGd9f
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAQogvaMQEES
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
48Please respect copyright.PENANAukzG24ze8A
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAXu77ym5jPJ
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAgFVuKDec8a
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAhQON4V3Wlr
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFvhGB9s8bt
1. Aoi Nogami (Class B)
2. Katsuki Bakugo (Class A)
3. Momo Yaoyorozu (Class A)
4. Izuku Midoriya (Class A)
5. Kiri Tae (Class A)
6. Kaoru Akashi (Class B)
7. Sabrina Kanto (Class B)
8. Shouto Todoroki (Class A)
9. Ibara Shiozaki (Class B)
10. Tenya Ida (Class A)
11. Juuzou Honenuki (Class B)
12. Fumikage Tokoyami (Class A)
13. Mina Ashido (Class A)

15. Hanta Sero (Class A)
16. Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu (Class B)
17. Tsuyu Asui (Class A)
18. Mezo Shoji (Class A)
19. Ochaco Uraraka (Class A)
20. Kyoka Jiro (Class A)
48Please respect copyright.PENANA7sX98dxw1E
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAQaWXlz24kB
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAhTDrLtak2a
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA9fSubvul9a
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA2X81zrMmKd
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANASfD0f1vfoB
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAD0Vcag0FGR
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
48Please respect copyright.PENANApDSDA7BUva
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?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAOB9xrzPuC7
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAjVC6fXW5dL
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA9grKCqxgyH
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
48Please respect copyright.PENANACojsrxNVER
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA6Txz5OvZrc
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAQFlAEGgzP1
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAss5jvivlLY
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
48Please respect copyright.PENANArc1CGRwzNW
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!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAo9qNiC0BdR
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!!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANArOIyquRb32
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANACfXT01Al8c
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAUgCNxanwJ0
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAUc9rAfq7h2
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.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAWoIpuxMue5
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA53RDDO2KVL
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAtPdw5CPVSm
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAWRQaO3tyCM
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAV5L7QiC4L8
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAdUKschbOfL
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAbQTLALSoYA
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANACMKY2eOSMj
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANASB3tZTaGVU
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
