No one moved.

Clang.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdewQLvgk0h
How could they?
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZ99AYJ0COE
Clang
163Please respect copyright.PENANAnVt2viwvgN
Their bodies were constricted by some force.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAMitfXDMhUQ

163Please respect copyright.PENANAAdrHKB36pu
Sabrina calmly walked out of the access tunnel with a relaxed pace.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA4N4IV9LmQQ
Present Mic: “And the first one of the starting position is Sabrina Kanto of class 1-B!!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAS3h3E9XK66
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAt4as1M7ufH
Sabrina: ‘Impressive. I expect nothing else.’
163Please respect copyright.PENANA5NtSsS4a0I
Seeing her limit approaching, Sabrina takes off in a run. A few moments later, her control breaks and the tunnel explodes with fury.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAwxGTd3z5St
Bakugo: “GET BACK HERE!!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAkTS8O3KlT9
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAM1CVPEJnjg
Mina: “Aw, man!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZxFGguoP4B
Aoi: “Seriously!?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAGo8mTasQTB
The first filter was much worse than the front runners thought. The pecking order was firmly established now, but it could always change.
163Please respect copyright.PENANARU0AExk34J
As proven when the ice was shattered with a stomp by a frowning Kiri. Free, everyone began the race in earnest.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAnPHHILaAKq
Present Mic: “And the first obstacle has been passed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and the front runners has activated the second one.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAru0K9XIvxE
Several large robots emerged out of the ground in front of Sabrina.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAyUGrbPWsKl
Present Mic: “Robot Inferno!!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZRP0OtCgBG
Sabrina: “Hm.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZiNOfjG6p
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAnGAEjk7t1z
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAAzdJkKAEQd
Kaoru punched through the heads of the robots that got in her way.
163Please respect copyright.PENANANh1sEoXO13
Izuku flew under their legs while Bakugo vaulted over them with ease.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdph8aqnq4m
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!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAoTTJzZOLrf
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAF6EmL6e8uH
It shimmered into existence, a once invisible bomb with Nezu’s face on it.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA2LRshUa6ML
Kaoru: “Mines!!?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAm5zGiuNfnq
Unable to slow down in time, Kaoru met the explosion head-on and was pushed back into another. It was fireworks up there.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdaHoiGlBJu
Kirishima: “Seriously, that’s nuts!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAGBBx67KYs4
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAthCnT07Hko
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAmvVJt2QUrz
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA4inyvvVG03
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA5mlZTYtUor
Kaoru: “Screw this!!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAezfDvL7W4C
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAbMXvBCvSlU
But due to her reckless speed, she smacked her head right on a stone pillar.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA9j4Q9elRcw
Kaoru: “Ugh… ”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAs6lqOkKzco
She plummeted to the ground and looked up to see what she ran into.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAXnZH7ys0RW
Kaoru: “What the-”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAFcnF6EoACo
Present Mic: “Our racers have finally made it to our next obstacle! The Forest Fall!!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAUjYhhGpZZg
It was a vast ravine with platforms connected by rope. But alongside the platforms were large stone pillars with electric wire connecting them.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAAVUJTUjwIr
Kaoru: “What are they trying to do!? Kill us!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAtwKJzLPonB
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANANlK33xOBqM
Bakugo: “Tch”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAuuMDsBYI0p
Kaoru: “Ugh, I’m done with flying.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA3vD2lvWa0l
Sabrina: “Are you sure about that?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA51gj5dsZPA
Kaoru: “Huh?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAmSklv2Uhic
Before she can turn around, she feels a hand push her over the edge.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAqUwUmwLHqa
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAbaQbZhYIFc
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAOY5zGKXufj
Shockingly, it wasn’t Izuku who arrived next. No, it was Mei Hatsume, decked out in her gear.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAiTG0r2gCW7
Mei: “Fufufufufu, now’s my chance to up my appeal! Lo and behold, support companies! The wire arrow and-”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAjPGVxYIV4O
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAsrjp80sIEl
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAIcquODKHwA
Mei: “I… I…I… Incredible!! I can’t be left behind!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANARr1cmu7u7Q
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAV1zwWxzLSb
Kaoru: “I’m not letting… her… get away with that!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANApQwkcZeT1B
Relying on her physical strength for now, Kaoru made her way across the platforms.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAcYivtBON31
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA4GMpADzOi2
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA1FQ14aJc3k
He literally leaped the gaps in single bounds. But each jump brought him scarily close to the mines. Eventually, his luck would run out.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdWWo9SNQPH
Izuku: “Gah!
163Please respect copyright.PENANAKvH2VE30oo
A mine exploded at his back and sent him plummeting to the ground of a platform. But it also cracked a pillar.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAvgm9nfAsGl
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA7uDXb9TCW9
Izuku: “Ashido!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAYRDWUVEvm0
But doom never came, as green energy enveloped the rubble, stopping it in midair.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAEV2GViJhYO
Mina: “T-Thank, Midoriya!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAQOmnFnMewy
Izuku: “Hurry!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAxtr9Tkr3Xc
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANApd1TuBLH5W
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANALnPVl6CMxo
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANArccWYXI0ho
Doing all of this, however, really killed his placement. But the various thanks did make him feel a bit better.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAxQzHgsVrPq
Present Mic: “That is a real hero right there, folks! Giving up victory in order to protect lives! Inspiring!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA79mIMPQa9J
Izuku: ‘This wouldn’t have happened if you guys didn’t make this a death trap!’
163Please respect copyright.PENANA5CQzjmJL1N
Kiri: “Onii.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZkRMPqq9Ky
Izuku: “Kiri! What are you still doing here?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAQpjKjrIMqa
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAizAnNICQuS
Kiri: “Didn’t want to leave you.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA9puBmj9JAt
Izuku: “Kiri… you shouldn’t have done this. You should aim to win; don’t hold back because of me.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAOYGlaximaF
Kiri: “I don’t want to, not like this. Besides, you’re holding back too.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAtYNnXis35w
Izuku: “… It’s not fair to use teleportation.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAxGq4bvhhtP
Kiri: “Izu… ”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA1eEsr4fbnz
He couldn’t help but smile at her rare pouting face.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfh3cAwlVV6
Izuku: “Fine! But only for this part of the race.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAAG0TPuhgUR
Kiri nods before starting to run again. But Izuku grabbed her and brought the now blushing Kiri into his arms.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAiTK0T4l3rg
Kiri: “Wha-”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAbhTtRfYKwz
Izuku: “You’re only so far behind because of me. That’s isn’t fair.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAeYKDe2Uwfm
Before she can question him, they are gone in a flash of green light.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAubKMy0PYaW
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAikUIxCMDnS
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!!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA74uMxsTYS2
Bakugo: “Another one? Tch, doesn’t matter.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAIPHKu6OUPL
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAF8E4z9TN2k
Sabrina: “Did we?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANApFewx5wZ1Y
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfYU8BDTisq
Bakugo: “Damn… it.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA1NcYzKLRTU
Sabrina: “This game has gone on long enough. I’m taking first place.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAN2bTFHTaPl
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAsxsWMYWY7f
The three leaders glare at each other, ready to finish this. But just then, a flash of green took their attention.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAU0SPl5sSk1
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdGj6OQ3Wt9
Bakugo unleashed blasts at Todoroki while halfnhalf tried to freeze bomb boy in his tracks.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAP3P8nULJwk
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAmIsTf8Pemi
If this kept up, Kiri had a straight shot to victory. Not like Izuku would have minded that outcome. But two women did.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAoSzlYzO3QW
BOOOM!!
163Please respect copyright.PENANAvoz8HV6s9O
The leaders glanced back to witness an outrageous sight.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA9QZSz0WgyD
Kaoru: “SAAABRRRIINA!!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA184XaRm18y
Kaoru and, shockingly, Momo were riding on a large star spangled shield. No doubt created by Momo to ride the wave of the explosion.
163Please respect copyright.PENANANKSXg5L1pC
Momo: “I knew it! They didn’t trap the sky this time. It was all to trip us up!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAG7NE1bt4Vb
Kaoru: “And that means we’re winning this!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAybCFMauDea
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!!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAqw84Zlpo34
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAzBs778fFtb
Kaoru: “Ready?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAemTcSOqaZI
Momo: “Yes!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANALrIfymcCJA
Kaoru prepared to launch herself and Momo off into victory. But Sabrina wasn’t finished just yet.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAIi53HLBhHo
Sabrina: “Lock!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAC7vfJ70f7o
Kaoru’s body froze; that plan was shot.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAAl2fjaMfvs
Kaoru: “Darn… it. Yao, it’s… up to you.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAjY3rjLA7IW
Panic starts to rise as the ground rushes to meet them.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAsdWjdYAWad
Momo: ‘So close! So close! What do I do? What do I do? I can’t lose, not again…’
163Please respect copyright.PENANAR2wvnLHpI3
At the crucial moment, when the leaders are neck and neck. When the ground is feet away, Momo gambles on a recent theory.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAuWp6vwDyQs
If a creation is still attached to her, could she create something out of the creation?
163Please respect copyright.PENANADx4YQnEeGF
Focusing, she wills a stun grenade below the shield. Within 2 seconds, her theory was proven right.
163Please respect copyright.PENANApKJIh2Zkcd
Bakugo: “Damn it!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfFfNCAw6Z1
Kiri: “Uh.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZx2IQyEAx4
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAVt4GVGpLUz
Boom!
163Please respect copyright.PENANAmclBeX6J79
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAG3vt3onuQw
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANALf50EeESNy
This was it!
163Please respect copyright.PENANA5l0xevzjDL
She was going to-
163Please respect copyright.PENANAv6Lfqxqwee
A flash of white, and the winner was decided.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA2aX8TVpnJC
Aoi: “Sorry about that. Teleportation really is cheating, isn’t it?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAtJZ5o952UZ
Aoi ran through the finish line, and Momo was flabbergasted. Just like that? After all that effort?
163Please respect copyright.PENANAnFVru5yE8W
She only recovered when Bakugo blasted over her. Shaking off the disappointment, she ran into third place.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAcVY3flzr4T
Present Mic: “What an upset!! Nogami waited until the perfect opportunity to use her quirk to secure the win!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANATYTZJEVUUm
Over the next five minutes, the students finished, and the results were made clear.
163Please respect copyright.PENANARFGa7L5byZ
Midnight: “And so it’s over! Now, everyone, here are the results!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAjVSy82SgvY

7. Sabrina Kanto (Class B)
8. Shouto Todoroki (Class A)
9. Ibara Shiozaki (Class B)
10. Tenya Ida (Class A)

17. Tsuyu Asui (Class A)
18. Mezo Shoji (Class A)
19. Ochaco Uraraka (Class A)
20. Kyoka Jiro (Class A)
163Please respect copyright.PENANA3Wu53NhAQW
It goes up to 42, but the top 20 were the only ones people cared about.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAH4LAqgek0f
Ida: “To think I’d place so low with a quirk such as my own… ”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA7MeBguxCPH
Bakugo: “Damn it…”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAy4HZCohDvX
Kaoru: “Great job, Aoi!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAeSty1Gpthg
Shiho: “I expected as much.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAHUQSkNSUTO
Kiri: “Izu, you should have teleported.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANApyllobCHLR
Izuku: “Ugh… ”
163Please respect copyright.PENANASQHccYct7R
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?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAGONpG0PEst
Izuku: “… I shouldn’t have teleported.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAWZYwC3QD8L
While the group laughed, despite the loss, Todoroki felt… frustrated. He just knows his father is fuming at his utter failure.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAWoPWYikIJI
Todoroki: ‘Only 8th place… ’
163Please respect copyright.PENANAChlFDFVp8u
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAjSwlW2qxtB
Even Sabrina, whose flight speed doesn’t compare to the others, was too much.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAz7dU8u0sYs
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAak30gxHvM7
Todoroki: ‘I must do better.’
163Please respect copyright.PENANAmPVUmSfWkU
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!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAaPDbYqkiKq
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!!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAT3upiyrqqP
Midnight: “Behold, the next event, Human Cavalry Battle!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAWgghrhmJ9n
Denki: “Human… Calvary?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAEfghcUwKlc
Tsuyu: “But that’s not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAGnWpVg9Xg6
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.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAJh8DqZjnrU
Izuku: “I have a bad feeling.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZEzgPM4of8
Midnight: “The number of points you’re worth will be 5 points if you placed 42nd. It increases by 5 every subsequent rank. However…”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA8pBBpLDg2Z
She grins evilly and looks straight at Aoi.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAVV7cpuUrgv
Midnight: “Since you won using teleportation, I’m sure you can handle your headband being worth ten million points!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANArJUk5Hy5Ux
Everyone looked at Aoi with unrestrained desire to take that headband.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAnRxGg9LLv4
Aoi: “Haha, I-I guess there really is a penalty for teleporting.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAUGSn4ZdpTF
Shiho: “You’re in danger.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA8hJDkN6X2d
Kaoru: “So what? This will just make it more interesting!”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAmOAnVjvndP
Izuku: ‘I was right… I shouldn’t have teleported. Sorry.’
