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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AAmPAxGKd
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAVcjX0HBC
Sero: “Please, tell me one of you has a plan.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7B3RuxTd6
Kirishima: “Yeah, we’re not in the best spot.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh5IwlRgDn
The group looks to Izuku and Momo, who then look at each other.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCWoMJcr14
Izuku: “U-Us?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaZsIFStc3
Momo: “Well, I was coming up with something. Do you have anything?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjJLIeqVs6
Izuku: “Really? That’s great! All I know is that Kacchan will come for me when it starts.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzhfnGWrv4
Momo: “Can you beat him?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhpfnzt79s
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqE3b6JYMa
Izuku: “Y-Yes. I don’t know how long it will take, but… I can win.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTo3h5KZIl
Momo: “Good, because you’re our best chance for winning.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOKa80J8lh
Izuku: “I-I am?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BgzylWaeE
Kirishima: “Of course!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBapSiUc5U
Sero: “You’re our strongest team member.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztWNB5DWdH
Uraraka: “With you on our side, we can win this!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iZHyb8Rs0
Izuku: “T-T-Thank you all. I-I won’t let you down!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYJE2pzs03
Momo: “Good, so here’s the plan.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqtN03HXrw
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTpvPeYRKO
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeGMyT7yUR
Mina: “Haha, this will be fun!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdJWYgEPIl
Ida: “It may just be a training exercise, but it still pains me to be a villain.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRZ1wLQtay
Mina: “Come on, just have fun with it.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZdxPhdYGX
Ida: “That will be hard considering the company.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07RbAxt7Nz
He looks to his other teammates. Todoroki was sitting against the bomb; clearly, he was planning on guarding the bomb.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh22ftlu52
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…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw2j01Rypl
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzFuLp1s5v
He was a bomb all to himself. Ida could even see him shaking, barely able to contain his wrath.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYR0LrILFb
Ida: “The others will most likely have their own plans. Can I count on you to help me capture the civilians?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS7NyONCWY
Mina: “Righto boss! You can count on me!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpSpb4jDUA
It was then, when a loud siren was heard across the city. The exercise has begun.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqJfr67wJK
Ida: “Alright, lets-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYLqxyXsYp
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA40KogFSH7
Izuku: “KACCHAN!! FIGHT ME!!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1zRspIYgK
That did it. Bakugo’s face split into a maddening grin before exploding into action.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJBZQ9VJ1K
Bakugo: “You… FUCKING NERD!!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4sfXnoMpy
Tae followed soon after, jumping out the window and dashing into the city below.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICWbmSHxBZ
Ida: “That’s our cue. Let’s… ahem… go capture those civilians for our evil plans! Hahaha!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ660tnSHW6N
Mina: “That’s the spirit! Led the way.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHLygBUu9e
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxX81Wco8M
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ1WpzAv9D
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4BP8abObJ
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkQUdZ295A
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRaBvEuHoS
The plan worked! But it also put a target on Izuku’s back.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AM0vmGeEg
Izuku: ‘Not like it wasn’t already there.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6vhtMF57A
He floats down to the ceiling below and waits for his former friend to appear. He didn’t have to wait long.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJleslTKteH
Appearing with a loud boom, Bakugo shot down onto the ceiling. He raises up from his knee while sparks erupt from his hands.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn4SSYaZ4p
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz5NjVnvtb
Izuku: “Kacchan… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUSHwYrAg7
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!?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvUOh6y2fr
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!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCZYwsLcHE
Izuku thinks back to the strategy meeting when he explained a bit about his relationship with Kacchan. Specifically, Momo’s response to his nickname.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjITpaieDMo
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.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwP5PEUNC9
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkW7efqLW1
The air was electric and ready for the clash of young titans. Words weren’t needed anymore.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MHTC6i6gJ
Only-
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Vzw6aS0K
Fwooosh!
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3yznlQ2VA
Action!
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXzZIMQGhK
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR5S2LIZnt
Well, that’s what was supposed to happen. Instead, Bakugo unleashed enough force in an explosion to counteract the strength of the telekinetic hold.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh9kDoTbFh
Izuku: “Wha-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoxta10yHl
Bakugo bursts out of the smoke, damaged but still intact, and headbutts Izuku.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQX8339ubt
Izuku: “Gah-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuV58UqrfJ
Bakugo: “Stun Grenade!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfpjs4xox2
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3mJWOSI8C
Bakugo: “You think you’re the only one who improved! You can never compare to me, Deku! Not even with a-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg5GG9e14Q
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9x8qsZCTA
Predicting where he sent Bakugo, Izuku quickly got up, ripped concrete from the ceiling, and hurled it into the sky.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGObQTkXYl
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…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz4taDElUK
Bakugo: “Die!!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpKwLI6mxn
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXWU193My5
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnEPaoGkbX
The resulting blast blew both titans off the building and caused the building to start collapsing.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmoW5W4HWg
Much to the annoyance of both teens, this battle would not be as easy as they thought.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ACbvcyFh
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPqUkAf1rA
Momo watched the battle while driving through the city on the bike she created.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ml5SiS9li
Momo: “I guess it will take some time for Izuku to win.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilvXyPRqFU
Kirishima: “Y-Yeah.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQy1lVdjIj
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk4ye4ryJE
He’s no pervert, but he’s still a man.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtigVyHJhHs
Kirishima: “A-Are we close to any civilians yet?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeCSyX4gkt
Momo: “No, keep an eye out.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKIORevXAF
Kirishima: “Righ-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIHUUyfwDw
Just then a frog girl jumped over the bike. Time slowed down as Tsuyu and Kirishima locked surprised eyes. When it resumed-
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna06YLtlx6
Kirishima: “Wait!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYWg3plA4C
Momo slammed the brakes, forcing the bike to skid to a stop. Tsuyu, after landing, jumped over to them.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ500OZVjL74
Tsuyu: “You came just in time, kero.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxFKCrtktD
Momo: “Why? What’s-”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjvh9Iz04W
That’s when they noticed how out of breath Tsuyu was. The frog girl pointed behind them, and then they understood why.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjlPs3IjBZ
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwItSPmD67
Kirishima: “No way… ”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82gEhR0vQa
Momo: “I didn’t expect to run into her this soon.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsGwfnf01T
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0GJQrDHkK
He got off the bike and began his walk toward Kiri.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GhiIfm1Nm
Kirishima: “Get the civilian out of here; I’ll hold this villain off.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC0av9wEdD
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI0lQNMTMu
Despite that, Kiri didn’t chase them. After all, she had a new target.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qnq9hS8TV
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXUyBym9hQ
Kiri: “Rock-man… you’re brave.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPO7e9mQwy
Kirishima: “Haha, thanks. But what hero isn’t?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQinpWhKqe
Kiri: “… True. But bravery… isn’t enough.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwypIwJXGG
Before Kirishima could react, he was in a wall, and his whole body hurt.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs47n2EumEe
Kiri: “Stay down.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcktrPqab8D
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VNOT9j2ZL
Kirishima: “Don’t count me out just yet!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktR54Z9BZV
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!
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqdKfcoaCk
Kiri: “…Okay.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK91oK7mpgF
Unbeknownst to Kirishima, Kiri smiled at his fierce determination.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXclRHIfvXF
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPATQPTZcyX
Jiro: ‘That was too close!’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg03aT1K3e0
Her hiding spot was pretty good until the building started falling apart!
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYi2jStQHH
Jiro: ‘I didn’t expect their battle to be that destructive. But honestly, I should’ve known.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEker7W3H0
Now Jiro was outside, running to find another place to hide before-
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYcTuFNwWY
Mina: “Well, looka here, a target.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMo7G6yJfM
Jiro looked up to see Mina on a nearby ceiling, giving the girl a sly smile.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZMGMD92BZ
Jiro: “Is there any way I can convince you to let me go?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W7fT8zd40
Mina: “No can do civilian; I need to finish this up and catch back up to Ida.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ39YCzLA8S
Jiro: “Tch.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOAkjWvu8z
Jiro turned tail and ran from the villain. But she knew she couldn’t outrun Mina for long. She needed a plan.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgF4H96yWn
Jiro: ‘No rule saying we can’t defend ourselves.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3H0aeM69s
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPtwdU8uLX
Mina: “End of the line, hehehe.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkSu0FueZF
Jiro turns back to see Mina coming closer to her while holding the capture tape.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7haBZlBkaK
Jiro: “What do you plan to do to me, you dastardly villain?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnDRdvSZYY
Mina: “Come on, you can put a bit more energy into it.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMqIqXexNo
Jiro: “Sorry, I’ll be louder next time.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpCjPTmfYb
At that moment, Jiro plugged her ear jacks into the sound amplifiers in her boots. Next, Jiro unleashed a powerful sound wave at Mina.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQOIDfiNSW
Mina: “Aaaah!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPB5gtldjz
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxDlNImWmj
Mina: “Ugh, what just happened?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQab81hOhQc
Jiro: “A civilian just captured you.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutk3PxMjZB
Mina: “But… that’s not fair! You can do that?”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBQYGm09Xp
Jiro: “No one said we can’t. Later.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPrJAw1W5f
Jiro ran out of the alley quickly, knowing a hero or villain would be drawn to the sound.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ypqXEVVIJ
Mina: “Darn it!”128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoZWtSL4fY
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucipK2nqLl
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktH3yZffkz
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqUR5yLvK7
Because together, they would be far better heroes.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BZCb2tAb1
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.’
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7QYtKYsb1
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzkOz57Yw6
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzOYkV8Zlt
Civilians can be a wild card for both the heroes and villains.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJjoUqWqPP
All Might: “In other words, expect the unexpected!”
