No one moved.

Clang.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA7Cj1Ljm2fm
How could they?
95Please respect copyright.PENANAzhw3wJtg0v
Clang
95Please respect copyright.PENANAUW2agyAelZ
Their bodies were constricted by some force.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAwNIPyalnzb

95Please respect copyright.PENANAXNTRpJgJru
Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA1S3FXcJZXQ
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAJMzsmrXqqA
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAbm3WfKvq5v
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
95Please respect copyright.PENANANJMsFS1uPq
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAni2e1GCN53
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAR5YsvvJz8s
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAxacWzxSgx4
Mina: “Aw, man!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAKBV1zwl8Fs
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAR0eRqpHjbG
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAwoKdAMpcwc
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAheDYWUYpwy
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAr9Sf5tleKv
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
95Please respect copyright.PENANACjEsz4bDYQ
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAHmeJDU2uRi
Sabrina: “Hm.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAZLYEpumQQc
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA2nCA8LsUI3
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAGPMXPZc9Yr
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA4OUPsZAsSK
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAfqQoeD4psO
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!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAiZ6Zkij6ej
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAqNvj05S8cA
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
95Please respect copyright.PENANANTyZrCbbUA
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAOscxRyCauI
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAKny2cM51qS
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANANHZFyV0Bye
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANASyitF2LqxM
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAxPr8P9byNG
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA4dSnvxH01j
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAACmPV5QHbY
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAezYuJjUCFS
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAxmlh6Op6Zn
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAq186PbgY8q
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZrGQ4j2sC
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAYAli2R5GOD
Kaoru: “What the-”
95Please respect copyright.PENANACShXlcNqRu
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANALuJeEIym4r
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAYMsemdEoP7
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAzuVpPsZFO4
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAplqfcnLR7A
Bakugo: “Tch”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAoOXZZrkp4p
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAN2SO684r79
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA8rQ5fxCPXe
Kaoru: “Huh?”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAu7puw7O2Br
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAaAorpbSxxV
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANADzvleHt6M7
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAn7S5iMIa8v
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAUjzYUVjUBo
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA6vtwJUcATA
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAwdBivMmFZD
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAVGy2tHJbRD
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAqvBMMUmOQE
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANApNvSYihtDv
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAipTaB19COK
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA3z8eKUZcNO
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAsKG6K52NBw
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAF3dOTIS1T8
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZWZditosR
Izuku: “Gah!
95Please respect copyright.PENANAJD2SgRmVvm
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAgPUQbGSNoH
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAkuS20R86w6
Izuku: “Ashido!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAllfFd5a09A
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAsRzpOBnydr
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAoOBV6geKnP
Izuku: “Hurry!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA7ESWXuPGhG
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA3w02HacmOr
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANATT2TVKdpYB
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZrwWgSGbA
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
95Please respect copyright.PENANACOdyiqvzDy
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAxRJdDot0ZM
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
95Please respect copyright.PENANAGwCN25Qo9N
Kiri: “Onii.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAHuYS3ps85M
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAO0Dx7OOCKA
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA4WXH70DJgg
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAY77nVFq4de
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAyOYF0SUj3L
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAtkTkIkR7Nk
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAR8aF0L8ZBi
Kiri: “Izu… ”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAnDB0i91RK8
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ng8Atqc4J
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAAu2LKG1lZ2
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA8Xbi0lPzFt
Kiri: “Wha-”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAosxMIpsDyo
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAvK9pfKZnA2
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
95Please respect copyright.PENANALuQGrBcZ0Y
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAecRDjvTpAt
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!!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAijLqrBpoPh
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAUTHNjflADf
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAYrOV0gx0LK
Sabrina: “Did we?”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAsp3O3GDRio
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANADYwMKBUecF
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAqTI6o6smqW
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAGIa4F1HxuZ
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAJKybtQ6iuY
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAXJtJCDObwn
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z9Gfb6bUE
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAAPT7BihAxe
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAPQWHU78tmJ
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAjl8pXtAK7b
BOOOM!!
95Please respect copyright.PENANAB6BbTEmCNm
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAaeyMs0D6Lt
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANANhPV4dV9GR
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAWK6sXZO1Ki
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAnb7tY4yB1A
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAPXFD6HcJi2
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!!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAUjw5Jel56I
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAPHR81sSfVZ
Kaoru: “Ready?”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAfbSomfpzbm
Momo: “Yes!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANArPgnfXsYfh
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAgbPPxksZXp
Sabrina: “Lock!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAvOar3LH6VZ
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAwQjrc9Hae9
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAMdU1VWu5L8
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAZJs1uKgUsl
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
95Please respect copyright.PENANAPweX1ZmA7e
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAzZIE5Zc0An
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
95Please respect copyright.PENANAtYNHhSiJVu
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA6uZI9rxPH9
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA4s5f8lxoRH
Kiri: “Uh.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9RRC5xiOn
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAhjbBiZvLm3
Boom!
95Please respect copyright.PENANARUURwY4SWq
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAkrWtCf4oG0
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAa45DQYxy4s
This was it!
95Please respect copyright.PENANAGOXAC3ZrR3
She was going to-
95Please respect copyright.PENANAM7TJ4RgGfl
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA0bcWNFDATB
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAaAvjNGxZLl
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
95Please respect copyright.PENANAFnfkMLKoSu
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAJqmZIwR8YF
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ3nuyWrmf
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAwy1d16ZLnu
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAB7y7WZevXr
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)
14. Eijirō Kirishima (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)
95Please respect copyright.PENANAFhEIBoQR31
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAaZAv1oTM8I
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAxGXVAa2CEr
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAmfbkxyRjOs
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAQh3KETWAA3
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAU4DqILhHqa
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAtTaldQ248Q
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAOCEnWMn8BS
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?”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAA4o1Rlry3g
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAa6uCxgqXxW
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA2flVL5oxtJ
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
95Please respect copyright.PENANAxDlaMQzvb9
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAgS6EejbALF
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAuRo0AvcgYq
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.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAoAmiPxJGdf
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
95Please respect copyright.PENANAwJtUfFx3mf
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!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAjfTpU9gMVq
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!!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAsH1zPEB2Zx
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANADzj7MSY0rZ
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAjtsMQrH2MX
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAfE42xIKdHP
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.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA3jzCyBDvVB
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA8GewyItymT
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAeCcVAsVuB9
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAcbJFlgPp0s
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAOJkJIbUaB5
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAimigqPURWy
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAkSezvJXBBa
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA3Mprg2rHft
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAY3WKoPX1Mv
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
