No one moved.

Clang.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAQOata0TXhW
How could they?
44Please respect copyright.PENANADcKodD40lV
Clang
44Please respect copyright.PENANA0lz8J50MOs
Their bodies were constricted by some force.

44Please respect copyright.PENANA0htk3HpgE6
Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAJ81CmteBsj
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA08fmgpgBuM
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAK38U85zy6e
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
44Please respect copyright.PENANAQv3ijfATwW
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAY8Tu85Bne6
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAv1ORsW9Iz3
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ0Og5FmXq
Mina: “Aw, man!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAluPZtiYL1y
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAA5Mjo3UDry
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA169mBUM4zn
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
44Please respect copyright.PENANABKvLxo8Qj8
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAhFsHtjXEB3
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA2MApwz3FFB
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAJXugehxsaE
Sabrina: “Hm.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANALj9nwdL2Mr
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAaWDP1C4Tpa
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAsb6rF2FQwe
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q7YhADmoE
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAKz5GVTzBQY
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!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAl42VfcVA8i
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANANflPoNvFDW
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAD7qkZhy2xR
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAb2RqkePOs8
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAW7saOlBip5
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAHRu96gUQxV
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAVT95ZhQ8TV
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANASvcWoSGUWa
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA1ufP4Il9cu
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAfMQiI6tyNT
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAC8P9Iknr9S
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAyDq2phPoo4
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAd21Mot4tHV
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAJWNypXpXue
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAJL4HIaVF3m
Kaoru: “What the-”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAZYk2r7gvKx
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAsZMaWI2jEa
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1P493tqvH
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA962O0nLThO
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAHOnYyaftIs
Bakugo: “Tch”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAlVUhBLApIV
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAw0M0pALRY1
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAKTBNla7byr
Kaoru: “Huh?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAVdEyW74J5p
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA1RcOqRL30x
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAXICz8eaBDR
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAynxLVvzM7G
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA8IchefPSOV
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
44Please respect copyright.PENANASAdhGb1sOn
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAYLhRXIUXhL
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA7x47FNmdpV
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAuz75TS6Gal
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAxi4YdpAvUw
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANARUYw7Vl1RX
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAUXVxy69xey
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAGHqxsJplXz
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAFVtQvngwRC
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA6QjtnDLBcp
Izuku: “Gah!
44Please respect copyright.PENANAdQDSrW2zXy
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAFtY8NyGPay
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANANkqAC2OZUG
Izuku: “Ashido!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAVu7dvTayOo
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAOcILNnScF9
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAfFXTOICn2G
Izuku: “Hurry!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAn9oIpekrzY
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANARe2guX3KNr
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAn80BGqki0h
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAqhGxr6yI9P
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAqobhj4BOxe
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAtLfZgdxliG
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
44Please respect copyright.PENANAbiP4dLAm6G
Kiri: “Onii.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAZV95N1mluL
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANALgL5it6rNB
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAxmKkOpjUJE
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAMtq781HTU3
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAq9rzSX5xmu
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAosstFgUDzf
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAOnNQT5c9Wz
Kiri: “Izu… ”
44Please respect copyright.PENANABNI0pvqOmH
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAp8Sj7XPZ78
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAJCpqOc3nod
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
44Please respect copyright.PENANACg60FSFNOI
Kiri: “Wha-”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAre4wZ2lk72
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANASOwOLbGc2y
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
44Please respect copyright.PENANABhIA7hUmEy
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAoVfbGG3IhX
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!!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAn3rRWk5GcI
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAhlfDvgzcXk
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAGRWDAOGxTU
Sabrina: “Did we?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAwflI3YyxJI
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAYxwfIq6aJL
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAIeTnQCWhrb
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAPoumxgkj1z
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAnCL5HyxGPM
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAk5wTkX8WLc
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA57Fj5PyPNt
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAUs6xjryu20
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAGZowZyuVWG
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA65xZVjWciA
BOOOM!!
44Please respect copyright.PENANAoMenUfysxi
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA1altNGNJ0c
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA9epjB9v5J5
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA8w6eAgzmNF
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANApTFbyycIH8
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAPh5aWPsS34
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!!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA00yvQv3zWV
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAP8NXR34yBa
Kaoru: “Ready?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAUfb9cgsqC1
Momo: “Yes!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAnQVmvS8iHV
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
44Please respect copyright.PENANABYTWEUVQf3
Sabrina: “Lock!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAHQPdbIDVtQ
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAMPlLpSdLuq
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANANktZ0C74ru
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAERaBvajyra
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
44Please respect copyright.PENANATnA3m3Mqul
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
44Please respect copyright.PENANANJZRB9BkUs
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
44Please respect copyright.PENANAxW9tDBwSqk
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAEU2IynBt8u
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAaFfPUDmt9t
Kiri: “Uh.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAF9aUB4ZnfM
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAkLvJR9K0eg
Boom!
44Please respect copyright.PENANAgK4ZZgZcIO
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAI1CwUPtiyk
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA7yYBfaPPUq
This was it!
44Please respect copyright.PENANAEvEeuqUIKH
She was going to-
44Please respect copyright.PENANArZZpvcRZMU
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAbjcPTgcU1a
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAwcnKtBpccp
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
44Please respect copyright.PENANAvvMv3ZcqUD
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAiv2PZ3fDgR
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAmI8cEm6WJg
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
44Please respect copyright.PENANALIwKelFIip
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAYK7hLenFt1
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)

17. Tsuyu Asui (Class A)
18. Mezo Shoji (Class A)
19. Ochaco Uraraka (Class A)
20. Kyoka Jiro (Class A)
44Please respect copyright.PENANAXC3U5eWjuN
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAf3eNPG85SQ
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAoz8ouNvrCT
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA8LVgdr5RRm
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANABXBBPGIhKE
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA2XDkBcYn0u
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAcz1maRpa3K
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA1hon2SJijh
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?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA5Du1hSrBrk
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAcordkDnvXW
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
44Please respect copyright.PENANATiAZGU6L0h
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
44Please respect copyright.PENANAXJMLvo5rT5
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAIlsFbASJu7
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAi7RPxa0Eky
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAalbXWrIiGA
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
44Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ8JrPJxva
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!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA1MtQ3d4gCf
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!!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAnC11yqyFwC
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA6rseQHbSoi
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAqUBmAX0MTL
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA7MgWVWwNHc
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.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAduR63tCwPD
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANALlhNdVTyTM
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAdzLsHTMATi
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA4riXfQR4Hg
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAWGPny7Tcvl
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA8oF5MKob1l
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA68dA1SzKqp
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAG3SJI2rlsi
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANALuUGGZc3lk
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
