Everyone had 15 minutes to gather their teammates. While they did that, the rest of the rules were laid out.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHxlVmdMLkY
The headband’s worth is equal to the total points of the horse’s members.
The rider may not equip their headband on any area besides above their neck.
Even if the team loses their headband or their horse crumbles, they’re not out.
Headbands can only be taken physically.
Only the top 6 teams will advance.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKkf0r2pJLM
The fourth one was added for those with psychic quirks. After Tatsumaki soloed this entire event, this role was created.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAssFIf30PTi
As for the team formations, Momo was watching as the teams quickly formed.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAkODmppb7nv
Bakugo was pretty popular and ended up with Mina, Kirishima, and Sero.
68Please respect copyright.PENANApaMQHull1K
Todoroki managed to get those close in his rankings, even if they were in class B. To challenge himself, Ida agreed to join with him alongside Ibara and Honenuki.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWeW0ElIedV
As expected, Aoi teamed up with her closest friends: Kaoru, Shiho, and Sabrina.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAuwvgF1uyG8
Finally, the team Momo was conflicted on. She wanted to join Izuku, but what Ida said to him stuck with her.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPG8RwZ3dwH
Ida: “Ever since the entrance exam, I’ve been doing nothing but lose to you. You’re an amazing friend, but it’s precisely because of that fact that if I only ever follow you, I’ll never grow myself.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAA52wjYmjm5
If she joined with Izuku, would she be preventing her own growth? Shouldn’t she also see him as a rival and challenge him again?
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVZvhB5JjbW
In the end, thanks to her indecision, Izuku formed his team: Kiri, Uraraka, and Tokoyami.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAS1kJEQq60O
So where does that leave Momo? Well, not alone, to her pleasant surprise.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVH4UYOW3zc
Mei: “Let’s team up!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANADVJbY9v1NJ
Momo: “Huh!?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAz3kMi7cdV8
That girl from before was right in her face with a manic grin. Momo took a step back from the possibly insane girl.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnpiuQS6CcX
Momo: “Team up? With me?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA29CuSIhok4
Mei: “Of course! Your creation in the race was almost as great as my babies! Your quirk is the ability to create things, right!?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAqtpwsUNN1Y
Momo: “Y-Yes.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0XsyMGWANB
Mei: “Excellent! Together, we can create even more amazing babies!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANApUR117Mv3p
If the girl’s enthusiasm and invasion of personal space didn’t do it, that statement finished the job and painted Momo’s face red.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAhnwOSzVKR1
Momo: “B-Babies? I-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAL82VvMyDSq
Jiro: “I think she means her support gear.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAxRP3jYAwEy
Momo: “Kyoka!?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPvbCELwqRT
And alongside her was Denki, who was smiling at Mei’s antics.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2PB9kVsns1
Mei: “Correct! I’m Hatsume Mei of the Dept. of support! Not only will we create magnificent babies, but your position will be sure to draw attention to my super cute babies!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAiNHZiAzlw8
Denki: “Trying to get the attention of some big shot, huh!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVlEeapTBGv
Mei: “Yes!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAU5sZRp2FuJ
Momo: “I see… well, I won’t turn you away if you want to team up with me. Kyoka, did you… find a team?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAadSxhKqLVQ
Jiro: “No, that’s why we’re here. Want to team up?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWSVkUFa3sg
Momo: “Y-Yes! Thank you.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUG17F1Ffvq
Denki: “We should be thanking you. With you, I think we have a chance to win.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ3Z7rjaQ3
Jiro: “You’re just saying that because she’s the only one that can protect the rest of us from your lightning.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAo4cn3LsQL9
Denki: “Yeah, but I still want to team up with her.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjU3fxtpgRm
Jiro: “I saw you eyeing Todoroki before I dragged you over here, dummy.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANATVAlYps67A
Regardless of the reasons, Momo is happy that she got a team that believes in her.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMCp6nQcQK2
Momo: ‘This time, for sure. We even teamed up before during the villain attack…’
68Please respect copyright.PENANADt9SprFHr1
But it wouldn’t have ended well if not for the Pro Hero Snipe.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJIZUv4Up4k
Momo: ‘No, don’t think about it. We can do this.’
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1FnBlx3Kjn
Teams decided and horse formation created, the time had come.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA4dDm8eoDVJ
Present Mic “All right, have you all formed your teams?!! Well, you better have!! Let’s do it!! Let’s start the countdown to vicious clash!!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAxG4I4kpmMf

68Please respect copyright.PENANAq1UtEOaLz9
Bakugo: “We’ve all got-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAmL5beN0sQ4
Bakugo’s team points: 640
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMCR65GhTgl

68Please respect copyright.PENANAGtDqKDtbAc
Todoroki: “Just one target.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYqq2vemQsE
Todoroki’s team points: 670
68Please respect copyright.PENANAdMKrd5qpTz

68Please respect copyright.PENANA4OkimDJHJU
Izuku and Momo look at their targets from the rider position.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQGzpGZYqdG
Izuku’s team points: 660
68Please respect copyright.PENANAojMKv2Xkoa
Momo’s team points: 425
68Please respect copyright.PENANA4IVBzn3Um8
START!
68Please respect copyright.PENANAACbs3LjQOR
Kaoru: “Bring it on!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAaFbd0oXuwU
Aoi’s team points: 10 mil and 475
68Please respect copyright.PENANAbFR22As7R3
The opening attack was instant; Sabrina’s eyes flashed red in an effort to lock everyone down. But as expected, Izuku counters with his own quirk.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMifYiDkBV7
Sabrina: “I’ll keep him distracted. Do your thing, Kaoru.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0XQ991mPsP
Kaoru: “Yeah!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANATUX4gayDbn
But before Kaoru, the front legs of the horse, can charge in, her legs are submerged underground.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ra2X2YjFx
Kaoru: “Houenuki!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAqqwUV3DaP8
She looks at the approaching Todoroki team and the seemingly guilty Houenuki.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFv1keIxoL2
Aoi: “All’s fair and all that?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnsGD29gSfJ
Shiho: “Watch out!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANALYj1EeczlI
Aoi turns just in time to see Bakugo, off his horse, aiming straight for her headband.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYKJTmw4Kh7
Bakugo: “Die!!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAeJReDXW10B
Right before defeat claimed them, Aoi teleported the entire team feet away.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAXQdfTLTTEP
Bakugo: “Wha-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANANhR1iZxpqA
Before Bakugo falls to the ground, he is retrieved by Sero’s tape.
68Please respect copyright.PENANATew6v8872Q
Present Mic: “What do we see heeeere!! The rider can detach from the horse!? That’s allowed!?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1nirOGVTY1
Midnight: “It’s only a technical; the rider’s just not allowed to plant their feet on the ground or stay airborne for more than 5 seconds!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANANTl1Q5T2la
Five seconds is more than enough.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHrQ3N8hNpU
A flash of green later, and Aoi is once again in danger of losing her headband.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAttz1IVO40b
Sabrina: “Foolish, lock.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAkbHoVkVf7m
Izuku is locked in place, right when he was about to grab the headband. He wasn’t fast enough to get the headband and block the lockdown.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA53jRzbAe9k
Kaoru: “Just keep him there for 5 seconds!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWv3WerLhno
Bakugo glares at Deku’s risky maneuver. If Deku loses here, the person Bakugo lost to, what will that say about him? But before the explosive boy can charge in, he feels his headband being taken.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZDueRWK1nb
Neito: “Like taking candy from a baby, class A.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAiaWlalYUwN
Bakugo: “What the fuck, fucking assrag piece of shit motherfucking fuck, give it back!! I’ll kill you!!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6xMquawOGm
Mina: “We’ve been had!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAew3g2sdEzx
Neito: “You’re much too focused on the ten million. Not like you could take it from those girls anyway.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAhL9vhFZrcE
Kirishima: “The rest of class-B is surrounding us!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAC4g8hdpv2B
Neito: “Ah, now that I look at you, aren’t you the victim of the sludge incident? Tell me all about it next time. How it must feel to be attacked by a villain once every year, I mean.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAvpXxwFjvWe
Before Bakugo could explode in anger, another explosion shook the area.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3VnB6kOVV3
A bloom of green light enveloped the area.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJaw0Li2F6s
Sabrina: “Ugh!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANABlVl4uqU8P
Izuku broke out the lock and teleported back to his horse, exhausted.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOWj2CxBAXt
Kiri: “Onii!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAh0rRCIrd9v
Izuku: “Keep… moving!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAvClvHxdKUZ
As for Sabrina, she was forced to her knee, unbalancing the horse.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAIiUU5OpfYV
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAtDuWJspkZd
Todoroki: “Shiozaki!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAsjp2K5U6KY
A green vine shot straight for Aoi, and she couldn’t react in time. The vine got the headband and returned to her team.
68Please respect copyright.PENANARFVZmiOYrw
Aoi: “Darn it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANATUS25n1Xwu
Ibara: “Forgive me, miss Nogami.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA4JBG2Ii3Kd
Todoroki doesn’t give them a glance and returns to the battlefield.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA72XvmlKo4G
Sabrina: “I’m sorry too. He… was stronger than I expected.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAudqQJ9LxHy
Kaoru: “It’s not over yet! Come on!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2mvMYvn3Un
The once top team returns to the battlefield. Neito and Bakugo saw the whole thing. Bakugo couldn’t help but laugh at the turn of events.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4l6NTNuQF
He’ll be sure to take that headband from halfnhalf, but for now… he’s free to enact some payback.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA7OApdL8Msc
Bakugo: “Kirishima, change of plans. Before Todoroki and Deku, let’s send these goddamn shitstains to some early graves!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAh7xJDOwA4J
Neito gulps at the enraged Bakugo but keeps a calm facade up. After all, he’s sure his class can turn this around once more.
68Please respect copyright.PENANArxh8gO1SdP
Back to the Todoroki, his team has become the target. But as long as he can keep the ten million, he wins.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAIFVgAHui2c
Kaoru: “Stand still!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJtX3nJjR4x
Thanks to Ida’s speed and Honenuki’s softening, they are able to avoid most attacks. Aoi is constantly teleporting out of the softening, and Izuku’s team has to defend against the vines from Ibara.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5pAOBw47m8
At this rate, time will run out and Aoi’s team will be at the bottom.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAkgKyIbYY3b
Sabrina: “I may need to-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKo65pFSqR4
Kaoru: “No! Save it for later. I got this. Aoi, get ready, I’m going all in.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANATj2IwCe8x9
Aoi: “Right!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANACPcXYnpPvd
Kaoru focuses while building up energy and enveloping her friends with protective shields.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAxmw6rQNPZa
Meanwhile, Dark Shadow knocks away more vines while Izuku prepares once more to teleport.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJjD6dv1wVc
Izuku: “Don’t worry, they don’t have anyone that can stop me. Kiri, Uraraka, are you ready?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAreIQz2ubJ7
Kiri, the front, nods while tensing her legs.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAXRz70cxBPG
Uraraka: “Yep!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZBwqDNHLh
Grasping his chance, Izuku teleports again. Todoroki sees it coming, but it doesn’t change the fact he can barely react to it. Izuku appears behind him, aiming for the one million around his neck.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAc4LcggdopI
Instinctively, Todoroki uses his flaming side to try and deter Izuku. But being an esper, Izuku is able to mentally push aside his arm and grab one of the headbands around Todoroki’s neck before teleporting away.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJUSHgo4skG
Todoroki: ‘My left side… what am I doing!?’
68Please respect copyright.PENANAvl5fghpDCA
Ida: “Todoroki!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnsDwAAox88
Still frozen by what he did, he was blindsided by Izuku’s strategy.
68Please respect copyright.PENANANUzjPqom08
Kiri was already moving when Izuku teleported. She was much faster thanks to Uraraka making their team weightless. Tokoyami dealt with the vines while Kiri charged forward into position.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAg3TIEX8p2s
Izuku teleported back onto his team, perfectly on time to snatch another headband from the other side of Todoroki.
68Please respect copyright.PENANATeoL7Giwtx
Izuku: “Got it!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAwMnuwgQBRb
Kiri kept the monument with a smile. But that’s when Kaoru saw her chance.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAIRRDBDSksX
Kaoru: “Charge!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA87DruTR8Fn
A blinding red light caught Izuku off guard and even shrunk Dark Shadow. The next instant, Izuku felt his headband come off.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJuNwP37Y7b
Aoi: “Thanks for your contribution.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANARdEM6eyCcy
Before Kiri could turn the horse around to face their enemies, Aoi had already teleported away.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAGZVJId8IJW
Kiri: “Tch.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2N3zSwGLJJ
Uraraka: “It’s okay, we got the ten million.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFQdFT2tlbO
Izuku: “No, we didn’t.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUllM5MjHhL
The esper looked at the headbands he got and saw numbers other than ten million.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAmuCtVdxuRu
Izuku: “It must still be on his neck. He shuffled them around.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAsjgGSQN1Td
Ida: “Pull your wits about you, Todoroki!! That was dangerous! And we’re not safe yet!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAaXl7gBbfQL
Todoroki snaps out of it and sees Izuku’s and Aoi’s team charging him. He also hears explosions coming from above. He breathes cold air, ready to freeze them and collect their headbands afterwards.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6XPM5FdUpN
Present Mic: “TIME UP!!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5lUzpR9qIu
Bakugo fell out of the sky while Izuku squeezed his eyes in frustration. It was over.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMF9tAXTsVL
Aoi: “Darn, we only ended up with Midoriya’s 660 headband.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQNGe8VFueS
Kaoru: “That’s not too bad.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA4JApuW14lY
Sabrina: “We could have done better.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHMjXolJPl7
Shiho: “Don’t blame yourself, Sabrina.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAIvs995uS23
Sabrina: “I’m not. I’m only stating the fact that we could have done better.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAIuxKxF9z7e
She looks at Izuku and narrows her eyes.
68Please respect copyright.PENANApHbTHg6sqn
Sabrina: ‘Shame, I would have liked to challenge him again.’
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUtzrpqmiV0
Present Mic: “Now shall we see who our top 6 are!?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAtAuaZ7vwwd
1. Team Todoroki
2. Team Yaoyorozu
3. Team Bakugo
4. Team Shinsou
5. Team Nogami
6. Team Midoriya
68Please respect copyright.PENANAGrKlaWrimW
Sabrina: ‘Ah, never mind.’
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0dbei9f1cM
Midoriya breathed a sigh of relief.
68Please respect copyright.PENANATpFhNL3xSo
Uraraka: “We made it!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1icJMUdRHx
Kiri: “Ih.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWtk6sjJCRF
Tokoyami: “Indeed. Yaoyorozu’s team is a surprise, however.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANALc6VaYh1zm
Izuku looks at Momo and sends her mental congratulations.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQTmj8S8UbS
Izuku: “Great job, Yaoyorozu!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1LORvYBF9P
Momo: “M-Midoriya! T-Thank you, but I still missed first place. I was so focused on gathering extra headbands that I missed my chance to go for the ten million.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAph64Usy9ki
Izuku: “That’s fine! It was chaotic anyway; you made the right choice to stay out of it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAsPVXseKoT8
Momo: “… I suppose.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQsW4EIXeSU
Mei: “What are you spacing out for?!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAzfQ61ZG45O
Momo: “O-Oh, sorry Hatsume.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVUZ0jqx7oe
Mei: “This was a great chance to test some of my babies, but we didn’t get to shine as much as I liked. I need to make up for it with the next event!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAXIiKy2IFvn
Momo: “I-I’m sorry.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7TmhoBTyi
Jiro: “Ignore her, it’s fine, Momo. If we did it her way, we may not have made it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPaUdXxHT2U
Momo: ‘You don’t think we could have won either… ’
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHKEo4VNzGc
As for Todoroki, he glares at his accursed arm.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3cvwyz29Xo
Todoroki: ‘I said I’d never use it. I made a promise to myself. But when I was threatened…’
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMDtcmtsuEO
Todoroki: “I… I can’t let it go on like this… this is exactly what he wants…”
68Please respect copyright.PENANASWtkzgdv2h
Present Mic: “The next event will be after lunch break! See you then!!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANALVCoXyZhkj
He turns to Izuku and walks towards him. There is much to discuss.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9R2sk1jYlB
68Please respect copyright.PENANAGNBGViakZz
Kiri: ‘So close… ’
68Please respect copyright.PENANAByW3f1CTMz
She and her onii-chan were so close to failure. She could have reacted better to Akashi. She could have insisted on being on top instead; maybe then Izuku would have put himself at risk.
68Please respect copyright.PENANANMu5z6c5kV
Maybe if she were on top, she could have gotten the ten million.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAgwpdoS7D0r
Kiri: ‘No.’
68Please respect copyright.PENANAa0LiqCMne6
There is no point in thinking about the past. She’ll do better next time. He needs her to be better.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQ14OZ5O7mG
Kiri: “Onii, let’s-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAquKqnQ609H
Kiri: ‘Gone?’
68Please respect copyright.PENANAP68gWmCtyK
Uraraka: “Where’s Midoriya?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1XthsrGokO
Kiri: ‘It seems I’m not the only one wondering. But I’m the only one that can find him.’
68Please respect copyright.PENANAeyO2vsJxUO
Kiri slips from the group heading to the mess hall and follows Izuku’s psychic signature. It didn’t take her long; it was in one of the hallways.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAG3LUdEJGBJ
But it would seem she wasn’t the only one who knew how to find her brother.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAW3aqX0G0s8
Kiri: “Bomb boy.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAzX3IrjLlNe
Bakugo: “Tch, ghost girl.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAhkwohjrkha
The two glare at each other, but before they can throw any verbal blows, they hear Izuku.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPW4ZKx4dXO
Izuku: “So… what is it? What do you want to tell me? If we stay too long, it will get crowded.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5zmo6884aJ
Seeing that their objective is the same, the two call a truce, lean against the wall and listen.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5jFQ3OWr7U
Todoroki: “Your quirk… overwhelmed me enough to force me to break my pledge. I’m… one of the few to have seen your full power. That power and the quirk your sister has, they both remind me of people we both know.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAtsEbzSA85c
Izuku: “… What are you trying to say?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAEWLsf5ghWZ
Todoroki: “I just find you and your sister interesting. I know you’re related to Tornado, and Tae is apparently adopted. More than that, you both caught All Might’s eye. Which leads me to my question; is your sister All Might’s Illegitimate child, and did he ask the number two hero to take care of it?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnLrLSNXgJM
Izuku: “… Huh?!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAX9sBpZeckU
Bakugo looks at Kiri with wide eyes; considering her strength, it might not be far off. But Kiri shakes her head violently, denying such ridiculous claims.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAbaGi1Qk0rL
Izuku: “That’s not it at all! Their quirks may seem similar, but I promise you that is not the reason.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAgehia222kL
Todoroki: “The way you said that, ‘That’s not it’. In other words, there is a connection between you all. Something you can’t talk about. Whatever that might be, you must know about my father, Endeavor.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANANIDV3FmsTU
Izuku: “… I do.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlZKpzWiGA5
Todoroki: “He was the number two hero forever, and then your sister comes in and drops him to third place. You’re not only connected to the person who did that, but to All Might, the person he wants to surpass more than anything. Because of this, I need to win all the more.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANARpIheFZr1v
That’s when Todoroki revealed his past. His father, the quirk marriages, and his mother…
68Please respect copyright.PENANADvloyXJuql
Todoroki: “I’ll become number one, a hero, without needing to use his quirk. This is my total disavowal of him.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAz6hpEQ01SY
Izuku and the two eavesdroppers stood shocked at his reason for reaching for number one. They all have different reasons for becoming a hero.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAuKcj5q494i
To be the best.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAtWjbJ1Jxgt
To be a hero like All Might.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAheS4q7dTvB
To stand alongside their family.
68Please respect copyright.PENANATpPOQENU8t
But those reasons feel… shallow somehow when compared to Todoroki’s. However, that won’t stop them from fighting and reaching that coveted pedestal.
68Please respect copyright.PENANATymoueWvTH
Todoroki: “If you can’t tell me anything, that’s fine. You two can keep being All Might’s something-or-other. I’ll overcome you two using only my right side.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHN9Fvrzwul
Izuku: “My… reason for reaching number one may not be as good as yours. I want to be like All Might, to stand next to my sisters with pride. I need to… master and… control my quirk for that to happen.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANATwe72nQpIP
Izuku: “It may be a poor, and maybe even a selfish motive compared to yours. Even so, I can’t lose. For those that believe in me, to pay back my family for taking care of me when I was quirkless. So I’ll echo your declaration of war.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA7X1cnFT0Z5
His eyes glow green as he stares into Todoroki’s.
68Please respect copyright.PENANADvItG5YcYm
Izuku: “I’m going to beat you!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAH5sQKV8WhT
Kiri closes her eyes and smiles at his words. She won’t disappoint him either; she’ll try her best. As for Bakugo, his gaze is blank so as not to give anything away to Kiri.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAXcQxhg9qWu
But deep down, very deep down, he can respect Izuku for his words. That won’t change the end result, though.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0rPDhyu1Ce
Bakugo: ‘I’ll be the one to win this with a complete victory. I’ll be number one.’
68Please respect copyright.PENANAhMndyzGxG7
Bakugo goes to leave for the mess hall. His movement catches Kiri’s eye.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6iHgUSxAxn
Kiri: “Bomb boy?”
