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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhWPFqNXaM
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pNRChPEc8
Sero: “Please, tell me one of you has a plan.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPe9Dodc4O
Kirishima: “Yeah, we’re not in the best spot.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNER3uy9nzJ
The group looks to Izuku and Momo, who then look at each other.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJn0eZFXNF
Izuku: “U-Us?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I72Apqam1
Momo: “Well, I was coming up with something. Do you have anything?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu1ztCbbTc
Izuku: “Really? That’s great! All I know is that Kacchan will come for me when it starts.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbuVWRf32Q
Momo: “Can you beat him?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0H95G3iRZ
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8aMRx58fY
Izuku: “Y-Yes. I don’t know how long it will take, but… I can win.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8yJrNdD1e
Momo: “Good, because you’re our best chance for winning.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP2EDbZqSQ
Izuku: “I-I am?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC9VN06U6M
Kirishima: “Of course!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVhjNR9zsh
Sero: “You’re our strongest team member.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GDzUoH89c
Uraraka: “With you on our side, we can win this!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4mKJ4hFps
Izuku: “T-T-Thank you all. I-I won’t let you down!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BKCSqRKb6
Momo: “Good, so here’s the plan.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkYnX8tO3B
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaykteavit
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouP5BGfVd1
Mina: “Haha, this will be fun!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNTLNuYb20
Ida: “It may just be a training exercise, but it still pains me to be a villain.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY3beH0bQF
Mina: “Come on, just have fun with it.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfZaLi8vfu
Ida: “That will be hard considering the company.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pNsumI0Sb
He looks to his other teammates. Todoroki was sitting against the bomb; clearly, he was planning on guarding the bomb.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKG6PTKLIv
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…
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gzMrb4mUc
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UyLoLdg3d
He was a bomb all to himself. Ida could even see him shaking, barely able to contain his wrath.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs7OhCc4p3
Ida: “The others will most likely have their own plans. Can I count on you to help me capture the civilians?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnME9nCj4U5
Mina: “Righto boss! You can count on me!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAzm4ukY1U
It was then, when a loud siren was heard across the city. The exercise has begun.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakIi1ZNyC6
Ida: “Alright, lets-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeAy14aBe0
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZIL8AStVc
Izuku: “KACCHAN!! FIGHT ME!!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YLoDOrG1n
That did it. Bakugo’s face split into a maddening grin before exploding into action.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCZF0Zbaee
Bakugo: “You… FUCKING NERD!!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTPjnhUSBW
Tae followed soon after, jumping out the window and dashing into the city below.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJuMyKT5Qc
Ida: “That’s our cue. Let’s… ahem… go capture those civilians for our evil plans! Hahaha!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nwq9lqbSx
Mina: “That’s the spirit! Led the way.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5yAqfZ0Gr
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9as3wOgbDR
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX9zWWeOgG
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJQ0rysflc
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb13ODmkr3
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34HZgHW8VY
The plan worked! But it also put a target on Izuku’s back.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCI8DMSjbv
Izuku: ‘Not like it wasn’t already there.’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahquDTeKLu
He floats down to the ceiling below and waits for his former friend to appear. He didn’t have to wait long.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kFzl5CGTR
Appearing with a loud boom, Bakugo shot down onto the ceiling. He raises up from his knee while sparks erupt from his hands.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdPAq0yclG
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w9fotBcsb
Izuku: “Kacchan… ”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZUx3NIGWv
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!?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZtMwouly0
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!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0rCUmxghw
Izuku thinks back to the strategy meeting when he explained a bit about his relationship with Kacchan. Specifically, Momo’s response to his nickname.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2urd0QzNCN
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.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwynfJ0UaD
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoPRmNsqXn
The air was electric and ready for the clash of young titans. Words weren’t needed anymore.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwblzQaNdk
Only-
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx0DQjUI4Q
Fwooosh!
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU6DFveH9z
Action!
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIyfNdLHe4
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhJoa8mSc6
Well, that’s what was supposed to happen. Instead, Bakugo unleashed enough force in an explosion to counteract the strength of the telekinetic hold.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5A98ZAb90
Izuku: “Wha-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV6EzNkUDj
Bakugo bursts out of the smoke, damaged but still intact, and headbutts Izuku.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd5fY3jXlK
Izuku: “Gah-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQxCJzwtJA
Bakugo: “Stun Grenade!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8chvPb5yg
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNqhtNTq9G
Bakugo: “You think you’re the only one who improved! You can never compare to me, Deku! Not even with a-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDDHNUV3CF
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLJGh7Vw36
Predicting where he sent Bakugo, Izuku quickly got up, ripped concrete from the ceiling, and hurled it into the sky.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCekskXAznC
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…
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYvcMorgqj
Bakugo: “Die!!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkKNXx3WzD
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ1GzUgrQk
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQh1Xn316f
The resulting blast blew both titans off the building and caused the building to start collapsing.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbPUi4d0NI
Much to the annoyance of both teens, this battle would not be as easy as they thought.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUfh4LjAR9
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfgPdb6Roh
Momo watched the battle while driving through the city on the bike she created.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofcOMu7TaR
Momo: “I guess it will take some time for Izuku to win.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXYKrA3L1z
Kirishima: “Y-Yeah.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvRCEwYEPD
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4kH1U1d1m
He’s no pervert, but he’s still a man.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDe66DAPBX
Kirishima: “A-Are we close to any civilians yet?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DcwhHaxsh
Momo: “No, keep an eye out.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4hqY49ATr
Kirishima: “Righ-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvrNzpkO58
Just then a frog girl jumped over the bike. Time slowed down as Tsuyu and Kirishima locked surprised eyes. When it resumed-
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81HSpojQ9W
Kirishima: “Wait!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCpIN66Wgx
Momo slammed the brakes, forcing the bike to skid to a stop. Tsuyu, after landing, jumped over to them.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIM4RL606h
Tsuyu: “You came just in time, kero.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFPfnnbGdj
Momo: “Why? What’s-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdCgKGZ1zw
That’s when they noticed how out of breath Tsuyu was. The frog girl pointed behind them, and then they understood why.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUITXAmteL
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8j0kqo2Tr
Kirishima: “No way… ”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ7FQapFha
Momo: “I didn’t expect to run into her this soon.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DYjWbSqAw
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfah2a9eWCs
He got off the bike and began his walk toward Kiri.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXf4we5eud
Kirishima: “Get the civilian out of here; I’ll hold this villain off.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkArK9OHyk
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CosENQaaO
Despite that, Kiri didn’t chase them. After all, she had a new target.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk4vnR0yUQ
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8NK6LK2EX
Kiri: “Rock-man… you’re brave.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQo0ay8pMv
Kirishima: “Haha, thanks. But what hero isn’t?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YYGca1tNf
Kiri: “… True. But bravery… isn’t enough.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HvPQ4Jirn
Before Kirishima could react, he was in a wall, and his whole body hurt.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc8khFiVzo
Kiri: “Stay down.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rPFTUMeDY
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAun0eXb1Q
Kirishima: “Don’t count me out just yet!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc99wl5JeM
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!
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSORrdWI1VY
Kiri: “…Okay.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrfYBOrKyZ
Unbeknownst to Kirishima, Kiri smiled at his fierce determination.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX05RRgFRG
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBjBYH76o7
Jiro: ‘That was too close!’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs9akk13RY
Her hiding spot was pretty good until the building started falling apart!
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma8b7Big8J
Jiro: ‘I didn’t expect their battle to be that destructive. But honestly, I should’ve known.’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIpTXxwZ1n
Now Jiro was outside, running to find another place to hide before-
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EVFIOzaPW
Mina: “Well, looka here, a target.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTIGwlUEj9
Jiro looked up to see Mina on a nearby ceiling, giving the girl a sly smile.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaTbRtEGwU
Jiro: “Is there any way I can convince you to let me go?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EV76cv7RV
Mina: “No can do civilian; I need to finish this up and catch back up to Ida.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuICkLZZ26F
Jiro: “Tch.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZF4vg7rKT
Jiro turned tail and ran from the villain. But she knew she couldn’t outrun Mina for long. She needed a plan.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lyWB1UnkC
Jiro: ‘No rule saying we can’t defend ourselves.’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTmfgXWPm4
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjACco1A0lK
Mina: “End of the line, hehehe.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bKNVIlbcF
Jiro turns back to see Mina coming closer to her while holding the capture tape.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBkcE5JPjR
Jiro: “What do you plan to do to me, you dastardly villain?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYGzKEv4vT
Mina: “Come on, you can put a bit more energy into it.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1RDFtTEXS
Jiro: “Sorry, I’ll be louder next time.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2txMBOgBs
At that moment, Jiro plugged her ear jacks into the sound amplifiers in her boots. Next, Jiro unleashed a powerful sound wave at Mina.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj1WMKQYM2
Mina: “Aaaah!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yf7Bqs1P9
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HNGewpCzQ
Mina: “Ugh, what just happened?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CYWk1xksL
Jiro: “A civilian just captured you.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCZHBXyvSy
Mina: “But… that’s not fair! You can do that?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX25QMIb4wz
Jiro: “No one said we can’t. Later.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYiUVXhoqK
Jiro ran out of the alley quickly, knowing a hero or villain would be drawn to the sound.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1ka5p6WyA
Mina: “Darn it!”70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VTjIDnQXc
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JSxj5AM3e
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwX3eC2oj2
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SGt9LiatD
Because together, they would be far better heroes.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lF5A77y1A
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.’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1emMwPSTib
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwViz5YdtM
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvuosXCjdm
Civilians can be a wild card for both the heroes and villains.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP7Kvr6TG5
All Might: “In other words, expect the unexpected!”
