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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ6ZzdjeKx
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVbBl774jY
Sero: “Please, tell me one of you has a plan.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshv0ML9zAB
Kirishima: “Yeah, we’re not in the best spot.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct6T5Iq5Kh
The group looks to Izuku and Momo, who then look at each other.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82RHYqo31E
Izuku: “U-Us?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4zDMCTsg0
Momo: “Well, I was coming up with something. Do you have anything?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKyvwbCDDy
Izuku: “Really? That’s great! All I know is that Kacchan will come for me when it starts.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC2UgZ5FYZ
Momo: “Can you beat him?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNrcyvo0f1
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CD8qJoFEZ
Izuku: “Y-Yes. I don’t know how long it will take, but… I can win.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpZLOr7844
Momo: “Good, because you’re our best chance for winning.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ2wsU0IfT
Izuku: “I-I am?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUDyrjK3qI
Kirishima: “Of course!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvoPdwOOV8
Sero: “You’re our strongest team member.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPYUKuwWOy
Uraraka: “With you on our side, we can win this!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uKK5EsqyE
Izuku: “T-T-Thank you all. I-I won’t let you down!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwzp5kKEIw
Momo: “Good, so here’s the plan.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjCQhUZ4je
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaabi2y8Q66
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNg2CoFvB6
Mina: “Haha, this will be fun!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJdQTSpQLz
Ida: “It may just be a training exercise, but it still pains me to be a villain.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhewCj7T7vf
Mina: “Come on, just have fun with it.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFRmdqGszE
Ida: “That will be hard considering the company.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3FA3PHjBO
He looks to his other teammates. Todoroki was sitting against the bomb; clearly, he was planning on guarding the bomb.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOJxEXJgjJ
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…
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CKzEOGKHJ
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv6nXZFM6u
He was a bomb all to himself. Ida could even see him shaking, barely able to contain his wrath.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMQxEP3Jqe
Ida: “The others will most likely have their own plans. Can I count on you to help me capture the civilians?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFsNhpKR5R
Mina: “Righto boss! You can count on me!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9PPBKr7yD
It was then, when a loud siren was heard across the city. The exercise has begun.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfr2GnJ52W
Ida: “Alright, lets-”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ6QGHTuJR
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDHClduZmO
Izuku: “KACCHAN!! FIGHT ME!!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMyadxQAHE
That did it. Bakugo’s face split into a maddening grin before exploding into action.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf7yZbHu6Y
Bakugo: “You… FUCKING NERD!!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7KlUDakBh
Tae followed soon after, jumping out the window and dashing into the city below.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip252BJQbj
Ida: “That’s our cue. Let’s… ahem… go capture those civilians for our evil plans! Hahaha!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKDZlRYpR7
Mina: “That’s the spirit! Led the way.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBpil8I9uE
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KLlJD0fx2
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKeSmuzHX0
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eY1kd7Bpd
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuYQrkcl9I
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87XWCOFsjQ
The plan worked! But it also put a target on Izuku’s back.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aLqwQFun0
Izuku: ‘Not like it wasn’t already there.’
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1z8y6jgEP
He floats down to the ceiling below and waits for his former friend to appear. He didn’t have to wait long.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGSRUz95VX
Appearing with a loud boom, Bakugo shot down onto the ceiling. He raises up from his knee while sparks erupt from his hands.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlyppAhoGC
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOzTkUOgBL
Izuku: “Kacchan… ”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjc7IcTII1
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!?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkegtbLJbpg
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!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7A4OTpPvZ
Izuku thinks back to the strategy meeting when he explained a bit about his relationship with Kacchan. Specifically, Momo’s response to his nickname.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Iu3KrBCnl
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.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSk70PBbyg
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH3AGZZBim
The air was electric and ready for the clash of young titans. Words weren’t needed anymore.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9kpjm9pMs
Only-
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeYYBOhmjN
Fwooosh!
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeSewt5xwh
Action!
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9MYTUQLKF
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfSBMWzpli
Well, that’s what was supposed to happen. Instead, Bakugo unleashed enough force in an explosion to counteract the strength of the telekinetic hold.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RO9xvpDan
Izuku: “Wha-”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhThs72r6gF
Bakugo bursts out of the smoke, damaged but still intact, and headbutts Izuku.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vLQLp4w76
Izuku: “Gah-”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgMnMHwlbQ
Bakugo: “Stun Grenade!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkB04phhnN
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkoQoWM8I1
Bakugo: “You think you’re the only one who improved! You can never compare to me, Deku! Not even with a-”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq48de2XEzE
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbGs122q9v
Predicting where he sent Bakugo, Izuku quickly got up, ripped concrete from the ceiling, and hurled it into the sky.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEveyhZhgR
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…
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVE51wrKGQ
Bakugo: “Die!!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHxoOgA8pZ
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa9vH598Hs
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ33VYyCbI
The resulting blast blew both titans off the building and caused the building to start collapsing.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSvWvehvtC
Much to the annoyance of both teens, this battle would not be as easy as they thought.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ye0HAIaQh
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQnHw32Z58
Momo watched the battle while driving through the city on the bike she created.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vuo2rifK4
Momo: “I guess it will take some time for Izuku to win.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOzLLCVDSw
Kirishima: “Y-Yeah.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKpzg1gStu
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62WO6Bv7kG
He’s no pervert, but he’s still a man.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRWOjtT8KI
Kirishima: “A-Are we close to any civilians yet?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyhba99nJA
Momo: “No, keep an eye out.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ3CNmEPwp
Kirishima: “Righ-”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdlp15zQd3
Just then a frog girl jumped over the bike. Time slowed down as Tsuyu and Kirishima locked surprised eyes. When it resumed-
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OIvsQ1UHU
Kirishima: “Wait!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC5RyNMgo6
Momo slammed the brakes, forcing the bike to skid to a stop. Tsuyu, after landing, jumped over to them.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCPTgFpZ0Z
Tsuyu: “You came just in time, kero.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGzFtMHriK
Momo: “Why? What’s-”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVGLODEDUu
That’s when they noticed how out of breath Tsuyu was. The frog girl pointed behind them, and then they understood why.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9XN2lxpir
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBsF1a3tmV
Kirishima: “No way… ”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjugZ0yIAZD
Momo: “I didn’t expect to run into her this soon.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWxYaafqTm
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F2EvrNMJ1
He got off the bike and began his walk toward Kiri.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHeCpxcHei
Kirishima: “Get the civilian out of here; I’ll hold this villain off.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2w5Y0ETFW
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0P3UnSIdG
Despite that, Kiri didn’t chase them. After all, she had a new target.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL3Csf7YVJ
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn7lJUxUIM
Kiri: “Rock-man… you’re brave.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS6r2KkRpI
Kirishima: “Haha, thanks. But what hero isn’t?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4mLZICppb
Kiri: “… True. But bravery… isn’t enough.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVzOVcqH9v
Before Kirishima could react, he was in a wall, and his whole body hurt.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLl5oVPOut
Kiri: “Stay down.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkA5RwXbeW
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2trlcQFCe
Kirishima: “Don’t count me out just yet!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9aBt5mdwq
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!
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xoKisjuXK
Kiri: “…Okay.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x6LBbg5vH
Unbeknownst to Kirishima, Kiri smiled at his fierce determination.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WsQeVDYnj
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QSspxyrWj
Jiro: ‘That was too close!’
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztDWDPzQr6
Her hiding spot was pretty good until the building started falling apart!
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BfsPNhqvi
Jiro: ‘I didn’t expect their battle to be that destructive. But honestly, I should’ve known.’
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGxZ83rpwC
Now Jiro was outside, running to find another place to hide before-
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfETtWkJ7sj
Mina: “Well, looka here, a target.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwiRGPeEl9
Jiro looked up to see Mina on a nearby ceiling, giving the girl a sly smile.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvbYA44BCP
Jiro: “Is there any way I can convince you to let me go?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZHENJB4A2
Mina: “No can do civilian; I need to finish this up and catch back up to Ida.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokNVat9MLZ
Jiro: “Tch.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjABNi3erBj
Jiro turned tail and ran from the villain. But she knew she couldn’t outrun Mina for long. She needed a plan.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd6RtGmXoD
Jiro: ‘No rule saying we can’t defend ourselves.’
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOX5eVeetc
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXOVzLfEjm
Mina: “End of the line, hehehe.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mmPvjFi4k
Jiro turns back to see Mina coming closer to her while holding the capture tape.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjSS4QCymA
Jiro: “What do you plan to do to me, you dastardly villain?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag6JHeNDZw
Mina: “Come on, you can put a bit more energy into it.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBuOx446qV
Jiro: “Sorry, I’ll be louder next time.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxNlsdNABY
At that moment, Jiro plugged her ear jacks into the sound amplifiers in her boots. Next, Jiro unleashed a powerful sound wave at Mina.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeKmmaK2v4
Mina: “Aaaah!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle60oHuTEM
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8cH37o25w
Mina: “Ugh, what just happened?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ41wSHCqo
Jiro: “A civilian just captured you.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bf8PJ4wq8
Mina: “But… that’s not fair! You can do that?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa568DMWwfK
Jiro: “No one said we can’t. Later.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo68o7dBic
Jiro ran out of the alley quickly, knowing a hero or villain would be drawn to the sound.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbah3Vm38b
Mina: “Darn it!”7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj0DiEln5A
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUDuGvBGYi
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7flSSOH9OO
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8iqYJEu8S
Because together, they would be far better heroes.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuzn9adDMC
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.’
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhp8uV1ubA
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48lC4xz632
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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP9bFcIznU
Civilians can be a wild card for both the heroes and villains.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6F3oBbYvX
All Might: “In other words, expect the unexpected!”
