No one moved.

How could they?

67Please respect copyright.PENANATNtWk9eqfI
Their bodies were constricted by some force.

Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAV9qBiTAEA7
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAiJZXpqouEO
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANApdPX652AUe
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
67Please respect copyright.PENANAkudvPme0g2
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
67Please respect copyright.PENANASZxFYQBvL1
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANADAuk1aNPTQ
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANApIReuWRnGA
Mina: “Aw, man!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAPhmilZLv2F
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAplWPYyElqS
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAf2ldXon1Tg
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAI0FsLC2CEY
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAXgpevfwHGW
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAtcQjvmCixV
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAntRnv1fpjx
Sabrina: “Hm.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAt6ZykH7ZO2
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA0C7DStnFg4
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAnX7gwGskSR
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJpelaobyV6
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
67Please respect copyright.PENANApTg8B2UyPa
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!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAfBwHCqlHIB
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8DTDE5OIbL
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAtZEhReUBRV
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAx0w2DLJ9UA
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAeO1znXWFKt
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAaj7BUEg88o
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAkCTw1SzNLO
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAZU09E47KzU
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAojun3kMBLz
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA1yysTcN6EL
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAopPwUcLgGk
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAAdK0VOsdgj
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAcDf2h3p6yB
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAw6hDeFpsdF
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
67Please respect copyright.PENANArA7vdiMYFx
Kaoru: “What the-”
67Please respect copyright.PENANADK3bMfaapo
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAOiOiva7qgK
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA0s0vmsbqYf
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA80xcwmoX5z
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAlwbEC1kMTy
Bakugo: “Tch”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAd3VwLUgXSk
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8huFv4k7HL
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4I9qNFEno9
Kaoru: “Huh?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANATSyMdJGfDx
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAufh790hRTd
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAH3bgWBfBbO
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4mUh15XgxV
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKRvOxoUHfL
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAcchDS1w6WV
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAv6LVua0TVK
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA0mf3xCQntJ
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAN1qO3UwqEn
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHYzdYyxlPs
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAYkdow6VrrT
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAGkeIkXrv7n
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANALSrIfvwCMb
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAmMffEXp7Vg
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAo478brn85V
Izuku: “Gah!
67Please respect copyright.PENANAf7LqWf2jU9
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAdsXJRL9Y3A
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA0yToUYFt2Q
Izuku: “Ashido!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAO42NG285fb
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
67Please respect copyright.PENANALWYl9ulUMU
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAebq4Egsffg
Izuku: “Hurry!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAd99EtitZbP
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAG8kk0iJ5tw
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAXvB0NK6hvF
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAazQSQsmgms
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAqx6ZyxcEJW
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAek2G3lbrRH
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
67Please respect copyright.PENANAmojos8weJi
Kiri: “Onii.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANATQ2Alr8DwI
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAq5EuZSnhtJ
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAaTvuMkNN0S
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAD23Mf5FaXm
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAu9Z5H1IEve
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAf6nlv5NQp8
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAk22CioRcaW
Kiri: “Izu… ”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAPJMOaUu521
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJT9SffsJ4T
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANApmih50saNg
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAK774z6FSt0
Kiri: “Wha-”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAD8C9o5utVw
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA1IiSQe0Lsr
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6tFa6HCaj
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAQBY6L6EVIH
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!!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAICPLERBKuC
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANABavKT1iQN5
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAglpaSa2Ml5
Sabrina: “Did we?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMNbasNvh1N
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAyrRhjmbz2u
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAYzZ7RBhm9o
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA36J9olhaaC
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKMtLpQgm2A
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAGAkYp25z7B
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHe8TLuYpED
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
67Please respect copyright.PENANACE2BrRmES5
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAH9Brpju7YM
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAtQIBqoCEYQ
BOOOM!!
67Please respect copyright.PENANA9jj7Fh1ahp
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAPBDsfPszRH
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAxEoSsU0RmL
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAALCkuv4tRJ
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8CkGMpN0bS
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANALAOMoW7ekC
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!!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8UrspWBUe4
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJpg37rDciv
Kaoru: “Ready?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMTkqzS4nPH
Momo: “Yes!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKlpYQcmHfE
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAWX34aSkJPz
Sabrina: “Lock!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAk09VuSJKLr
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAoifCBoUcwm
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAoPudDXisV6
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAe1DaVAEuEY
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8TbcZ7ZU7r
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAa0QabCvsX9
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
67Please respect copyright.PENANApetgPxed4s
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAOk8tfJlOmS
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAmIA7eFy31z
Kiri: “Uh.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAovIUjc6M6K
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA9a0Un4BbiS
Boom!
67Please respect copyright.PENANAgg1yoISxrR
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAkHG1e06g1Q
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAemF4PqS74o
This was it!
67Please respect copyright.PENANAtTgebTqTmd
She was going to-
67Please respect copyright.PENANAmgLqmyFpLE
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAcFCOuUsHSw
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAoYfrMfxhBM
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
67Please respect copyright.PENANAhYZScLU1Qn
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7zkLi0NdMW
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAyLmdsomRdF
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAlOufOyQvU4
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANASoDUAKU2vz
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)
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5OBEo5RwAm
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAnHip2T4rb3
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7lM6h38dPl
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAU1VeShK2G3
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAewDcO1GGvU
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA6dcN3yFHmK
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHHOIT5XS2R
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAQnR7SKn4ni
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?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7AytkXeFtv
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJeDrVenZ5j
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAdddCzHjGGm
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4LRdNRyXcx
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAwzAJnFsA1J
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vv5ExngeN
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7LGoKrPkr8
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
67Please respect copyright.PENANAW76gYZp0M9
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!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAnaQ53bEyNJ
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!!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAypgqlR2HGO
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMfQYagsi4G
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAOUU6r21QHa
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAxoUBnUornv
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAZqXuLp65i2
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAvrEqfVGuUC
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAxA9QaHdy7J
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHsqXA6iSuQ
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAQTlNTsF4C3
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA1ODBkrcK1V
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4fXxdo1kvw
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAV8jEVatUpI
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANABLwv6HmqFg
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
