No one moved.

261Please respect copyright.PENANAqwTxWXABHo
How could they?
261Please respect copyright.PENANA6Aurl11XXB
Clang
261Please respect copyright.PENANAVcvQhKguHn
Their bodies were constricted by some force.

Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAR20TZCVgJA
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAFR35uVCQNk
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAKgUwh7U9PR
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
261Please respect copyright.PENANAOniWwZSrEp
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAHyOD7sjrnA
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAGDfDtNaVk6
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA44iIbCnQdm
Mina: “Aw, man!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA2JUDEkFogg
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAvoeY74wxXa
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAKw3xM2WaQm
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAyVQeTCCZav
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAUVjzSxJBLH
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAI2xr4Z8cPY
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANANqn1AVicHw
Sabrina: “Hm.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAvRNccMdrmI
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAQDofhTrybi
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAUHSdUzzrkv
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAczdeTzK2xS
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA7PLMeZJLvg
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!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAtyrpCGK4JG
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAdSWwGFvwJV
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA5kujewtBiw
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAyeVOD70Hb7
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
261Please respect copyright.PENANANVJbOobAur
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANANN5tk938jS
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA8gkEtk4hmZ
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA0dlnOhnMII
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAH18YqGO0iH
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAsbcvJvVkcY
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAqBtlcccc6M
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAZuTEx5iTjY
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAiJZJf3iwV2
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
261Please respect copyright.PENANARud4o5XcZ5
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAC8hXn2dfK9
Kaoru: “What the-”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAbe1c1oGoYB
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA2U6qUuSIWo
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAJevLzpcxKB
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ7uWmGwjV
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA9EllVvnvdX
Bakugo: “Tch”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAksmpNiVuv2
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAASePzHxAsS
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAksVm6WXIT7
Kaoru: “Huh?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAwfhO0QZ1PN
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA19PmyRb0nO
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAdx1zaMEUaE
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAX5otyac28u
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAZgt6NcfIKk
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAk7kgdgPxOw
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAS0OAUrF0H0
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2iKPlkj8e
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAdFD0wu8rDP
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAuxOFX5e7x4
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANALH6AFgPHX3
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA468nHwaAX8
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA0WKESipfKF
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAhGRTqtQvUC
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
261Please respect copyright.PENANABvomSq2aL9
Izuku: “Gah!
261Please respect copyright.PENANAhsrPz2Ohg0
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAaHDd8nv30Y
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA8NSI33rf5v
Izuku: “Ashido!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAwbQlvtx9WU
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
261Please respect copyright.PENANANjdQvtE05G
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANARVMmQn5Gzg
Izuku: “Hurry!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANATBggSXy14b
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAOcLtO9AiyI
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAWlsTSCu95K
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAGdf1mbWZ3t
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAZXtjizW9as
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANADukbPcSmvu
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
261Please respect copyright.PENANAMpL40gkEqg
Kiri: “Onii.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAZOirBw8jDv
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAPI1GmMO2Zg
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANADm16CE6bjj
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAXC7CWxUL8T
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANACdUXB9xoyV
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA29fKvGq83p
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAJnb2NixYPR
Kiri: “Izu… ”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAFuqdVVomrH
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA7GUBl8FUZE
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAPuXXC8EJkO
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAGUXf32zEW6
Kiri: “Wha-”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAgoTzzuqRfu
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAuWxVJZqOsZ
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAyQTf4ho9qd
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA9uv8xoY2UZ
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!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAQlc6OPPLPE
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANArdtjmhMUr8
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAcnEa5WvnOo
Sabrina: “Did we?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAKDtKduMHOg
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAqfWlYUHJZF
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAc32NVtZvgJ
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAU0JqgvdkkD
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAhDuMdcPXWi
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAM6XAwAzLIb
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAEdg5t3Yaet
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAg5mA4BzqZE
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAfPDWFCbHTL
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA9zxwmVnx4J
BOOOM!!
261Please respect copyright.PENANAdTbivOQgiV
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAkSMuBqj67F
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA7HWzUAihC8
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAtLqww4AmLl
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ag30GhV4z
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA1ghw8laTGF
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!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAgSufMjQjui
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAovxnrz16rd
Kaoru: “Ready?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANApE22Ree7L7
Momo: “Yes!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA1ipY9iYiY9
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAbuQzfE6Y6H
Sabrina: “Lock!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAHbMpb4y46U
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAxFPiQUTs5b
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA6j1FGtH63P
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
261Please respect copyright.PENANArRPiuPWwl0
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
261Please respect copyright.PENANAXcY9qVColh
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAIy1RDqZmN6
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
261Please respect copyright.PENANAP8GrZWKVPs
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAe1Jf9SY0Za
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAA9c6L2lzIA
Kiri: “Uh.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA9OI0UGetth
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAIoZgLT3g2R
Boom!
261Please respect copyright.PENANA1huzgCaE0j
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAGZu6cUCyxB
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANArkVjalv6MK
This was it!
261Please respect copyright.PENANAKTOAAN4pwO
She was going to-
261Please respect copyright.PENANAOaA7x079Ry
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAhJMPr7j6bm
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAPN7VGvrw9w
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
261Please respect copyright.PENANAeKckEKs2KX
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAsHrYIDl8xH
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANABDX8bRgzlZ
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA8bSJ7TYi4H
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAZIDoHLOozy
1. Aoi Nogami (Class B)

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)
261Please respect copyright.PENANAxBq3ScaNbl
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAdw0OjI2Ndz
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
261Please respect copyright.PENANArqTGa3Zcn2
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAAjcpWhJhng
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAI6T8htiCYT
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAMZvXth7MBs
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAv2oY45DGVH
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAMY9NO8WSXM
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?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAmNkKIdyw3Q
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA87EH9pi3TY
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAZMuPDwQmZb
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
261Please respect copyright.PENANAuBIYhxmQex
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAgNRnUAFFsv
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAvncNXRmmwi
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAcFNjtgrGm5
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
261Please respect copyright.PENANA7HLlCLmCMZ
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!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANATIZwk8a7AD
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!!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAVdTdCleF5g
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAmMR6inY4vH
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAT6Lv6Gl7ZS
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANALx7UEZ2Crw
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.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAgqfuVoJ1Db
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAg91rvJUmEP
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
261Please respect copyright.PENANARCvkQVbwAt
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
261Please respect copyright.PENANARKOLiHQXfE
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAEeEz3CiVwv
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAHdFnHGCJOu
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAu5rwjIti4X
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xc0HWGKIy
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA6ad7Hi7ctR
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
