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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCYU7m8Acg
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JPMScyAnV
Sero: “Please, tell me one of you has a plan.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFZPyMjbNJ
Kirishima: “Yeah, we’re not in the best spot.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEZ96Pe7vN
The group looks to Izuku and Momo, who then look at each other.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQH9S153Fi
Izuku: “U-Us?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB9dLhMGLC
Momo: “Well, I was coming up with something. Do you have anything?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedogjd4IWR
Izuku: “Really? That’s great! All I know is that Kacchan will come for me when it starts.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD5doqsCZv
Momo: “Can you beat him?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLpxj1AKNZ
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EEqbwfZJk
Izuku: “Y-Yes. I don’t know how long it will take, but… I can win.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1911soGoB
Momo: “Good, because you’re our best chance for winning.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG1FBcVZFb
Izuku: “I-I am?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumtkCUBjSq
Kirishima: “Of course!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy8Q7WIHmH
Sero: “You’re our strongest team member.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAtkrC6dKC
Uraraka: “With you on our side, we can win this!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCpuDn5mIE
Izuku: “T-T-Thank you all. I-I won’t let you down!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MllTU493H
Momo: “Good, so here’s the plan.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh9GfJDjnL
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpNPDPmt71
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhPAarhzHi
Mina: “Haha, this will be fun!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvhtbDKEj2
Ida: “It may just be a training exercise, but it still pains me to be a villain.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK5yl5aiAb
Mina: “Come on, just have fun with it.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf31WW1vEqQ
Ida: “That will be hard considering the company.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAHkDwZJF0
He looks to his other teammates. Todoroki was sitting against the bomb; clearly, he was planning on guarding the bomb.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAky21SVQp
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…
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncXdazCtLO
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4UbkuqxVy
He was a bomb all to himself. Ida could even see him shaking, barely able to contain his wrath.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKpSrn0sM3
Ida: “The others will most likely have their own plans. Can I count on you to help me capture the civilians?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoShtolTMZ
Mina: “Righto boss! You can count on me!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK5NHFJmHs
It was then, when a loud siren was heard across the city. The exercise has begun.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnVDusKBqA
Ida: “Alright, lets-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDpTLGgSbO
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmr1WgAeQN
Izuku: “KACCHAN!! FIGHT ME!!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrqobsVZR9
That did it. Bakugo’s face split into a maddening grin before exploding into action.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7l40eG6Id
Bakugo: “You… FUCKING NERD!!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSVPi4Lf2t
Tae followed soon after, jumping out the window and dashing into the city below.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BQb8fKuds
Ida: “That’s our cue. Let’s… ahem… go capture those civilians for our evil plans! Hahaha!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlZ5mddcBW
Mina: “That’s the spirit! Led the way.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbngi8xA7fs
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapu5kLrcko
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW2VAapNn9
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaP7FkOio3
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpZk9bwuFr
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZa5I3LyzX
The plan worked! But it also put a target on Izuku’s back.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PhjqRYiCe
Izuku: ‘Not like it wasn’t already there.’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRKOTJdQCw
He floats down to the ceiling below and waits for his former friend to appear. He didn’t have to wait long.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJqEQZiwbz
Appearing with a loud boom, Bakugo shot down onto the ceiling. He raises up from his knee while sparks erupt from his hands.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO08tRlWHC3
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyFg4c7w4j
Izuku: “Kacchan… ”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YDoy2xkmT
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!?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwfTDiD0Jg
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!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrbQHJLPMD
Izuku thinks back to the strategy meeting when he explained a bit about his relationship with Kacchan. Specifically, Momo’s response to his nickname.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpt2yWSVV5
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.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinkltng9cE
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9aVIqEW70
The air was electric and ready for the clash of young titans. Words weren’t needed anymore.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOPvZwTach
Only-
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmHsZMT674
Fwooosh!
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbWlf4byv7
Action!
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN23Tr6Q1Nd
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwtAJgUeQT
Well, that’s what was supposed to happen. Instead, Bakugo unleashed enough force in an explosion to counteract the strength of the telekinetic hold.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MTWvEDNOu
Izuku: “Wha-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPLfPfAn9B
Bakugo bursts out of the smoke, damaged but still intact, and headbutts Izuku.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyekqtYDxfU
Izuku: “Gah-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLvl0cxOVw
Bakugo: “Stun Grenade!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhGI487OXm
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aDSh8JM9T
Bakugo: “You think you’re the only one who improved! You can never compare to me, Deku! Not even with a-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gRHdC6W8t
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUkan5E10t
Predicting where he sent Bakugo, Izuku quickly got up, ripped concrete from the ceiling, and hurled it into the sky.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTMNJXhodc
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…
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QIV0rsAJG
Bakugo: “Die!!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIUi58QBuW
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK8vYwQt6h
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPixOCsuGEq
The resulting blast blew both titans off the building and caused the building to start collapsing.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJjDtqcaJK
Much to the annoyance of both teens, this battle would not be as easy as they thought.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2ESa4mmCd
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EMnxQmNDC
Momo watched the battle while driving through the city on the bike she created.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw1EJYLSFU
Momo: “I guess it will take some time for Izuku to win.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEchrJpA4Qf
Kirishima: “Y-Yeah.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYWpOjmn36
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMGE5eHHUs
He’s no pervert, but he’s still a man.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGI6DvVHKY
Kirishima: “A-Are we close to any civilians yet?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdrmrt9sDO
Momo: “No, keep an eye out.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUmQOykCYz
Kirishima: “Righ-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr1JF2DGMq
Just then a frog girl jumped over the bike. Time slowed down as Tsuyu and Kirishima locked surprised eyes. When it resumed-
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr1euBQS2C
Kirishima: “Wait!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc4VvNdns3
Momo slammed the brakes, forcing the bike to skid to a stop. Tsuyu, after landing, jumped over to them.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyzpoADQVs
Tsuyu: “You came just in time, kero.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNKOy7gijS
Momo: “Why? What’s-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz3IcA9bkX
That’s when they noticed how out of breath Tsuyu was. The frog girl pointed behind them, and then they understood why.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa7o0rA4C3
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYgDf6TquY
Kirishima: “No way… ”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkzf0SB3ZS
Momo: “I didn’t expect to run into her this soon.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMHGFQiUlX
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm6cRLnPLg
He got off the bike and began his walk toward Kiri.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cs7J7Z0K3
Kirishima: “Get the civilian out of here; I’ll hold this villain off.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1wGNJ5n2B
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmVRrPMvhE
Despite that, Kiri didn’t chase them. After all, she had a new target.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PBHamHH9Z
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgXbbwDaMu
Kiri: “Rock-man… you’re brave.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUETAeNJjJ8
Kirishima: “Haha, thanks. But what hero isn’t?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGxjhzpBQR
Kiri: “… True. But bravery… isn’t enough.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFlxu2oy8l
Before Kirishima could react, he was in a wall, and his whole body hurt.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMfeECXfgE
Kiri: “Stay down.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tokHB605W
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3L2aD0Z0b
Kirishima: “Don’t count me out just yet!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQgJjEQsf2
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!
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipvoa8izGi
Kiri: “…Okay.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pttlIpW1d
Unbeknownst to Kirishima, Kiri smiled at his fierce determination.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLyDESLbCK
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfmxihvqzP
Jiro: ‘That was too close!’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN14y48HTy
Her hiding spot was pretty good until the building started falling apart!
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqitU3Dxsw
Jiro: ‘I didn’t expect their battle to be that destructive. But honestly, I should’ve known.’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw5yMhVh9a
Now Jiro was outside, running to find another place to hide before-
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rPDHHJpRF
Mina: “Well, looka here, a target.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX1U0PeUA1
Jiro looked up to see Mina on a nearby ceiling, giving the girl a sly smile.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYw0tUkD65
Jiro: “Is there any way I can convince you to let me go?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzm8nIn6i8
Mina: “No can do civilian; I need to finish this up and catch back up to Ida.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nEZ1riA85
Jiro: “Tch.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0QdQ0uem4
Jiro turned tail and ran from the villain. But she knew she couldn’t outrun Mina for long. She needed a plan.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp59pS4VXW
Jiro: ‘No rule saying we can’t defend ourselves.’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXcCmmIO2f
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKti1uOPrd
Mina: “End of the line, hehehe.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XcJxHdFv0
Jiro turns back to see Mina coming closer to her while holding the capture tape.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPqofoWxV9
Jiro: “What do you plan to do to me, you dastardly villain?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXJomuOeHs
Mina: “Come on, you can put a bit more energy into it.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUUwt1AQFC
Jiro: “Sorry, I’ll be louder next time.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB3gJoTivo
At that moment, Jiro plugged her ear jacks into the sound amplifiers in her boots. Next, Jiro unleashed a powerful sound wave at Mina.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YT9WhhX9O
Mina: “Aaaah!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrRcHoPOeE
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMiLctAuYN
Mina: “Ugh, what just happened?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd0yXRW7GA
Jiro: “A civilian just captured you.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wNE9IKeQP
Mina: “But… that’s not fair! You can do that?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLWnGNsdpT
Jiro: “No one said we can’t. Later.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp9JMWCVGd
Jiro ran out of the alley quickly, knowing a hero or villain would be drawn to the sound.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRVKrJ75tG
Mina: “Darn it!”69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxigBibyy5
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsO4mhy9zp
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wAyLf8ZyT
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4RIKfD3Kj
Because together, they would be far better heroes.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVth7lzzPQ
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.’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiRRLtfbEh
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLet6t1mJh
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojpebgA0Qz
Civilians can be a wild card for both the heroes and villains.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwevkk49h56
All Might: “In other words, expect the unexpected!”
