Shishikura Seiji, the de facto commander of Shiketsu High's first year, looked at Accelerator with displeasure.
"Figures someone like you can't change easily."
"If that's the case, then I'll make you and your team understand personally."
As Shishikura expounded on his philosophy, the use of his "Meat" Quirk didn't cease.
Most of those bizarre chunks of flesh formed into giant fingers floating behind him, while the rest of the "Meat" floated scattered in the air, poised to strike.
"Actions and demeanor that match one's status are what define class!"
But Accelerator paid no heed to Shishikura and instead focused on the chunks of flesh within the U.A. team, which further deteriorated Shishikura Seiji's impression of him.
"You're ignoring me?! Can't you even manage the most basic conversation between people, Accelerator?!"
At that moment, Accelerator's attention was on Tsunotori Poni.
After scanning and confirming Tsunotori Poni's vital signs with the life-sign detection feature built into his combat suit, he turned to look at the Shiketsu team from afar and sneered.
"Fish like you aren't worth talking to."
Accelerator took a slight step forward, just one step.
From beneath his feet, ripples spread across the solid ground like water, causing the concrete to crack wherever they passed.
The force reached beneath Shishikura Seiji before he could react, and the shockwave exploded like a volcanic eruption.
Shishikura was sent flying by this tremendous force, soaring a dozen meters above the ground before he awkwardly used his Quirk to barely avoid secondary damage from colliding with the ground.
At that time, between Accelerator and where Shishikura had just stood, there was a trail of destruction like a prehistoric serpent had crushed the surface of the earth.
Due to the speed, few in the Shiketsu High team could react, only Yoarashi Inasa barely caught sight of the trajectory of Accelerator's ground attack.
Yoarashi looked at Shishikura with great concern, then his expression turned to one of sheer horror. He activated his "Gale Force" Quirk and flew rapidly towards him, shouting loudly.
"Leader, be careful! Watch out in front of you!"
Shishikura instinctively shook his head to clear it a bit, and as he was about to look up, he noticed the human-shaped shadows on the ground formed by the sunlight.
He was startled, feeling as if he was being targeted by the tip of a blade.
Facing the black shadow that seemed ready to tear him apart the next second, he forced himself to endure the intense dizziness caused by being blown away by the shockwave and forcibly activated his Quirk, "Meatpacking."
He had just heard that person say to him.
"Thinking you know everything based on one-sided information is laughably ignorant."
"Enough, I have no interest in preaching."
"Only broken bones make the best textbooks."
That was Accelerator's voice.
"You...!"
Shishikura angrily wanted to say more, but Accelerator didn't give him the chance.
In an instant, he felt an overwhelming brute force pinning him to the cold ground. Even with the full protection of his "Meatpacking" Quirk, the pain was unbearable.
It was a pure pressure, different from the sharp cut or puncture of an instrument, a prolonged and intolerable pressure pain.
"Ah ah ah ah!"
Even Shishikura, who prided himself on his strong will, couldn't help but scream in agony.
Fortunately, he also heard the urgent cries of his companion Yoarashi, which made him realize he hadn't scattered due to the intense pain.
At this moment, Yoarashi, who was controlling the constantly roaring storm, blew towards Accelerator's position, and everyone could hear his roar.
"Blow it all away!"
He struggled to turn and witnessed an astonishing scene. Accelerator, expressionless, extended his hand towards Yoarashi's direction and disdainfully said,
"How can the light of a firefly compete with the bright moon!"
"How many times must I explain before you understand?!"
In Yoarashi's astonished gaze, the huge storm, spinning like a clock's second hand, suddenly grew in volume and wind speed several times over, as if fire had met kindling. He found himself completely unable to control this unfamiliar "Gale"!
But this was just the beginning. In the blink of an eye, the unfamiliar "Gale" suddenly began to spin in reverse, presenting an inconceivable reversal, turning into a counterclockwise rotation blowing back towards Yoarashi, the original creator of the "Gale."
Yoarashi roared in disbelief and incomprehension.
"Impossible! Impossible! This is my Bloodstorm Gale!"
"Why...?! Has Accelerator taken my Gale?!"
"I've never heard of such a bizarre Quirk!"
Yoarashi tried to reach out to regain control of his "Gale." The moment he grasped the "Gale," his hands' bones creaked under the strain of the intense rotational force and dislocated with a "Kacchan" sound.
Despite this, he didn't give up, but in the face of absolute power, both conviction and pride were useless.
This was the consequence of trying to forcibly control a power beyond his grasp. First, blood flowed continuously from his nostrils, and then both his arms twisted counterclockwise.
Yoarashi wouldn't have been so severely injured if he hadn't tried to forcibly take back control of his "Gale," leading to this tragedy.
Accelerator glanced coldly at Yoarashi lying on the ground and said indifferently,
"You brought this upon yourself."
Seeing his companion struck so heavily in an attempt to save him, Shishikura began to struggle fiercely, his eyes bloodshot as he continued to roar.
"I just wanted you to understand your place! Damn it!"
Accelerator saw the hollow look in Shishikura's eyes and cruelly smiled.
"Hahahaha, as a rule, those who are hated tend to be very tenacious."
"So, are you done with your little tricks, Shiketsu?"
"Now, it's time for you to understand your place!"
Of course, even if one were to cry or beg on their knees, this person might not stop until his adversary has completely lost the ability to fight.
Accelerator lightly tapped the ground again, and this time, Shishikura Seiji, facing the shockwave at an extremely close range, was sent flying once more, foaming at the mouth with eyes rolling back in a pitiful state, then hurtling like a human cannonball towards the Shiketsu High team.
Seeing their leader sent flying back, someone in the Shiketsu team made a split-second decision and activated their Quirk.
"Scatter! Let me handle this!"
He was Mora Nagamasa, a first-year student at Shiketsu High, an individual covered in light brown fur, a mutant-type Quirk user. His Quirk, "Extend Hair," allowed him to freely control all the hair on his body, making it as hard as steel when stiffened, and as soft as a cat's belly fur when relaxed.
Given the nature of his Quirk, it would have been no problem for Mora Nagamasa from Shiketsu to catch Shishikura.
The assumption was that the person who sent Shishikura flying wasn't Accelerator.
He had realized early on while controlling Shishikura that the peculiar "Meatball" Quirk itself provided Shishikura with strong defense, enough to withstand a bit of rough play.
So when Accelerator returned their "leader" to Shiketsu, he deliberately added some twists, much like a pitcher throwing a curveball in baseball.
The moment Mora caught Shishikura, the entire Shiketsu team was struck down like pins in bowling, scattered in disarray.
In the first round of the Grand Star Festival melee, Shiketsu High, which had previously provoked Accelerator, was instantly wiped out.
And then, something unexpected happened.
"——Grenade Launcher loaded!"
With a roar and a tremendous explosion, a massive spiral of black smoke rapidly advanced towards Accelerator's position.
This was none other than Bakugo Katsuki's move, using the recoil force and rotation from continuous alternating explosions in his hands while jumping to approach the enemy, unleashing a massive firepower burst as his trump card skill.
After effortlessly dodging this attack, Accelerator quickly moved through the smoke-covered area as if it were nothing.
At that moment, someone detected Accelerator's position and shouted.
"He's going to appear at 3 o'clock!"
This time, what awaited Accelerator was the long-range firepower network of his own U.A. team.
But this network, known for its quantity and speed, whether it was corner cannons (which would release Shishikura's Quirk control if he was hammered) or lasers or bullets, none could keep pace with Accelerator.
Accelerator pondered for a moment and seemed to come up with the answer.
It was Shokuhou Misaki.
Ketsubutsu High School is also one of the participating schools in the Grand Star Festival.
If there was someone with enough power to make all his classmates turn traitor in an instant, then in that world, only Shokuhou Misaki could do it.
Thus, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, his face wearing an interested smile.
As expected, the second round of ground attacks did not start with Sero's "Tape" and Bondo Kojiro's "Universal Glue" leading the way, nor did they attempt to use conventional tactics to block his evasion space.
Under Shokuhou Misaki's control, those controlled by the starry-eyed could think and fight naturally, without any trace of manipulation.
For instance, after Shokuhou Misaki's "Mental Out" takes effect, unless she deliberately alters it, the controlled subject remains themselves, but will completely obey Shokuhou Misaki's commands, acting with her orders as the highest purpose without any time limit.
After all, "Mental Out" is a nearly omnipotent psychic Quirk capable of memory manipulation, remote telepathy, and emotional transplantation.
And Juzo's "Softening" was also activated.
The ground where he had been standing turned into a soft, treacherous marsh that swallowed all who tread upon it.
But none of these had any significance.
Behind Accelerator, four high-speed whirlwinds extended, and he hovered in the air like a helicopter.
The cunning sniper, who had been fishing in troubled waters during the battle between the U.A. team and the temporary alliance of various schools, also made his move.
Orange spheres, traveling faster than the speed of sound, shot accurately at Accelerator's "weakness."
At the same time, several green laser beams followed, striking the ground from another angle towards him.
By his estimation, these laser beams should have the preliminary power to penetrate both the cover and the opponent's body together.
Accelerator slightly turned his head in the air, the beams nearly grazing his cheek, and the others did the same, looking incredibly dangerous to any onlooker.
From his vantage point in the sky, his field of vision greatly expanded, and he easily spotted the Tokiwadai team.
At that moment, a girl in the Tokiwadai team complained to Shokuhou Misaki.
"I can't stand it, why do I have to go out of my way to protect you?"
"Whether it's that Accelerator in the sky, or U.A. or Shiketsu, I alone am enough to take them down."
"Do we at really need to be wary of those guys?"
"Didn't we also take down everyone from Elite Academy, except for that one guy?"
"Your Accelerator is just one person now, could he possibly stir up any big trouble?"
She was a tall and slender girl with soft, flowing long hair, her bust size rivaling the neighboring busty starry-eyed, but Accelerator, who had seen many different people, knew from the violence in her eyes that this girl must possess an extraordinary ferocity in some unknown aspect.
Shokuhou Misaki responded with a feigned laugh.
"Hehe, you're really quite amusing☆"
"But I don't think you have the strength to defeat him."
"If you don't believe me, then you can go and try it yourself."
"I'll be right here waiting for your triumphant return☆"
"Let's see how my Accelerator-kun teaches you a lesson."
Shokuhou Misaki wore a smile on her face, but her thoughts were quite different.
Maiya Tsumori, clearly the impulsive type, let out a boisterous laugh like a warlord, challenging him to a fight.
"Hahaha, that so-called Accelerator up there."
"Let's have a one-on-one battle, shall we?"
"You are now isolated and without support!"
"The entire course is dominated by my school, you have no other choice."
Indeed, this was the case. Apart from Bakugo Katsuki, who had separated from his team at the start of the match and had the misfortune of running straight into the Ketsubutsu team, any scattered students from other schools who stepped into Shokuhou Misaki's "Mental Out" effective range instantly became part of Tokiwadai's subordinate army.
While Accelerator was dealing with Shiketsu High, even the U.A. High team couldn't avoid it. Without exaggeration, this area had fallen under the influence of Shokuhou Misaki's Quirk.
The area, along with the people gathered nearby from Ketsubutsu, essentially made all the participants in the venue enemies of Accelerator.
