No one moved.

How could they?
82Please respect copyright.PENANAS1znyguXz1
Clang
82Please respect copyright.PENANA6q8Rr7nuZ3
Their bodies were constricted by some force.

82Please respect copyright.PENANANqUlDD9AxB
Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAWv5k4KGpy2
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAnoqqgwQpKh
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAbuqnMx9og8
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
82Please respect copyright.PENANAUBSvWyQC9I
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
82Please respect copyright.PENANALZvXWpqAtm
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAGK8jowHR90
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAoRfEWjHIsd
Mina: “Aw, man!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAVwMudL1AZE
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
82Please respect copyright.PENANA9FT3AIzQcD
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAI07p34EpGr
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAHAcmnOxJ8y
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAiT4CuS7097
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAL1CYM0qp8E
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANANgm0H8I7b5
Sabrina: “Hm.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANArH3kYM1XbQ
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAer1UkgJd1O
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAPq1JNFX2c5
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
82Please respect copyright.PENANA6AgLJeaZ6H
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAKZrjdEiuY4
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!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAwAeiqEMnTz
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANA70ihGeDWxs
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAihpN4OEA8S
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
82Please respect copyright.PENANA5xeRkFa3He
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAfvJ7bidVk0
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAXw5o6tSnds
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANALSS3NUPqPf
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAUuiVrzCLFQ
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANA4kxS1cnX1P
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAC9enOhnabB
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANArecvbOQwQ2
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANA4jS4U1mRCz
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
82Please respect copyright.PENANA7HxIcgvpS1
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAS3eUcI9RIL
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
82Please respect copyright.PENANA5J69aD1Lv6
Kaoru: “What the-”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAy2v36vlpGr
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4pCCG8qT8
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAcbXdLs4G9d
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAU3dBEsM5yC
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANA9GWL8DrYai
Bakugo: “Tch”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAe3qbR2mKL5
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAkooOVUNikD
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAlHrWPOPU6f
Kaoru: “Huh?”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAgizWSHkmRG
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAimd3SgCtmI
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAjvRefY3skd
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAGkfca9GzpW
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
82Please respect copyright.PENANACOFbNHGCWO
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAfeoOTOmYxk
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANA1k6pQxnWRp
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAlv2UCzfYT9
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAhxVh9Gzznv
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAn7me4K0MzS
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANABO94QTSKqS
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAWKvVZu5gde
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAYQvLyeD6R0
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANANroS0mlJjz
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
82Please respect copyright.PENANACl1qt0LSBQ
Izuku: “Gah!
82Please respect copyright.PENANAA7X5YkJJ1k
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAE6KKd2yrF2
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAYS1cepE0VQ
Izuku: “Ashido!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAfjZ40GGQp3
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAtkPnUDHnjB
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANApF5QWpDQmR
Izuku: “Hurry!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAeQRjw5Sd43
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAKueeRJ8jfG
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANASt4Qxn8O3L
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANADUegGS9Fd2
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAFvTKiqA6XE
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAtQqhi5hq6h
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
82Please respect copyright.PENANAkOnYmwhg4o
Kiri: “Onii.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0cS5lnhvA
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAqGC4wc4JJV
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAQKz5ZKJ8sh
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANA1nfr3gZMYx
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANALHLBiSzUwV
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANATiXvbG8fes
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAyH5HNgQY6G
Kiri: “Izu… ”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAC1VBXCNhJT
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAgPaPz1Ma5x
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAPRSF4zda93
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAMdqrzS13i5
Kiri: “Wha-”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAasJWrMlP3x
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAh4SGfykmLc
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAznffYr1L5g
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAuTVXGDNfV1
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!!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANARh4dPQtFsU
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAGHIubtduPo
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAkz1eSNMVye
Sabrina: “Did we?”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAV69AHoQqis
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAp3RMi1sunT
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAe2A3KgTqXs
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAuuPMzIkHt5
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANANJhBTGdgRh
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAS9mySjnzht
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAzrL6FFRmpL
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAhOrDzGyPeK
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAorsd08wl2p
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAM5shEfqBh3
BOOOM!!
82Please respect copyright.PENANAKqx9enPyMb
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
82Please respect copyright.PENANACjUnIJdZAr
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAcNOqQaXute
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAYFp5ucUDeV
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAbignoN9sIC
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAvpppv9QmG8
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!!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAHA1p3daDvj
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAWIxLnvzn4C
Kaoru: “Ready?”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAW18jw52SFS
Momo: “Yes!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAVPkKnF6INp
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAOSznt5wEQ0
Sabrina: “Lock!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANARWAWYXxkCw
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAWdMC5od57u
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAigaUJzaspa
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
82Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ulom3F5EC
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
82Please respect copyright.PENANAXJpg4sWTnT
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
82Please respect copyright.PENANANiRnVW700V
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
82Please respect copyright.PENANAYxk2xw6yVC
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAf3GgFfg8ZQ
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAdWIUZxCSi6
Kiri: “Uh.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAZLivawtWOd
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAMhnsutHbkO
Boom!
82Please respect copyright.PENANAHGv5357tRG
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANALOKSKfaSGH
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAtTISLwY9qi
This was it!
82Please respect copyright.PENANAIL0MtAXGnR
She was going to-
82Please respect copyright.PENANAB3Loq4D9sJ
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAm5UGEUhjQy
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAkpbTN5V7vd
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
82Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8N7jKmPS7
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
82Please respect copyright.PENANASlrgahL480
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAwDQTpDvtWT
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAhwzpfkEqBn
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAr1VVkCwlHt
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)
13. Mina Ashido (Class A)
14. Eijirō Kirishima (Class A)
15. Hanta Sero (Class A)
16. Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu (Class B)
17. Tsuyu Asui (Class A)
18. Mezo Shoji (Class A)
19. Ochaco Uraraka (Class A)
20. Kyoka Jiro (Class A)
82Please respect copyright.PENANAcjfRLlv3y6
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAsm4fXBZo1v
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAzeRyl2edD4
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAUdaOqXTUc4
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAebOuUYkJ75
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANASJkVCBybnM
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAZmnPxMWPe0
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAOeGlxNHXmy
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?”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAywfmTBjTyy
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANACBEEeOQ9PZ
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAZcmjOf0m7T
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
82Please respect copyright.PENANAHZq26kelib
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAMWVOuPDMIc
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAtfVYMk8Qw5
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.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAbQjBY95RDs
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
82Please respect copyright.PENANA7jBCEh1s2u
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!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAsqVgObXaLO
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!!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANA9WuDq8Adom
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAjiiI9tcNW3
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAymH6JhGfBI
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAjNfAS8qc8r
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.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAV7kxyljADx
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAxoKOYgSLng
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAY6j8jGtxIU
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAC9u4RHpuyL
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANA3EsBWoYxAo
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
82Please respect copyright.PENANAgyxRTytb4s
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANAtzsQNtwGaG
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
82Please respect copyright.PENANArRPpN1Y6vh
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
82Please respect copyright.PENANArN3zfY3mL1
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
