The earthquake-like sensation didn't cease, and most of the girls in the Ketsubutsu team were still focused on their own feet.
In such a state, only the petite girl still using the "Bird's Eye Control" Quirk and Shokuhou Misaki, who had been watching him, saw the massive earthen giant arm.
It stood upon the earth, its palm facing upwards, capable of covering an entire area with its muddy bulk.
The petite girl's "Bird's Eye Control" could create an imaginary eye in the sky for observation, so she could see clearer than anyone else.
The owner of this power was an unmatched monster.
Even though the petite girl wore a mask, anyone could see her current fear and trembling.
Her brows twisted to the extreme, and her pupils were visibly dilated.
When people are frightened or experience intense emotions, the sympathetic nervous system is the first to be affected, releasing a flood of electrical signals, causing her pupil-dilating muscles to involuntarily contract.
This was followed by an accelerated heartbeat and a tingling sensation on the scalp fermenting.
The Ketsubutsu girl desperately wanted to flee.
But it was as if she had lost control over her body, even the muscles in her thighs were twitching weakly and she couldn't move even a step.
The girl stared at Accelerator and the muddy giant arm behind him, shivering and muttering intermittently.
"What is that...?"
"Who exactly is that guy...?"
"You've got to be kidding... Competing with someone like that?"
Her fear reached its peak, and her heart roared hysterically, constantly forcing her body to flee from the battle.
Eventually, she took a step.
But rather than a deliberate step, it was more of a subconscious retreat.
And Shokuhou Misaki had no doubt that under a true strike from this giant arm, the entire area, even the whole arena, would be brutally bisected by its brute force.
The queen of Ketsubutsu couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on her delicate face.
Before such unparalleled power, even someone as intelligent as her could find no countermeasure.
It wasn't just about being far beyond her peers; even as the strongest psychic in the history of the other world, she felt like she was almost unable to keep up with his pace.
Shokuhou looked towards him in the distance, her cheeks flushed and slightly intoxicated, murmuring to herself.
"Hehe... My dear's power is just too overwhelming☆"
"But, it's not over just yet☆"
"If I'm to play a role, I must play it in full☆"
"As a good woman, being a little mischievous at the right time is also a way to add spice and freshness to a relationship☆"
In fact, Shokuhou Misaki wasn't worried about extreme casualties from an attack of this scale.
Even if one searched the entire other world, they couldn't find a second person like Accelerator, who had such self-control over his power.
He is truly one of a kind.
About a second or two later, following the gasp of a girl who recovered quickly, the Ketsubutsu girls' team finally noticed it.
That massive concrete arm, as if reminding them of their own insignificance and frailty.
Among the Ketsubutsu team, the girls with weaker wills could only stare blankly, like petite girls behind masks, unable to take the next step.
However, Ketsubutsu's elites like Naru, Naru, and others were visibly anxious, clearly not giving up, actively thinking of counter-strategies.
Shokuhou Misaki thoroughly understood the expressions and true thoughts of her subordinates.
For Ketsubutsu, coming from a background of noble academies was no issue, but the Hero Course was entirely different.
Regardless of gender, Quirk, or status, if one aspires to be a professional hero, they must take on the inherent risks.
Merciless enemies won't spare you because of your identity; in fact, if female professional heroes fall into their hands, their fate is bound to be much more tragic than their male counterparts.
Shokuhou's agreement to the school's arrangement, to personally lead the team against Accelerator at this Festival, was also a consideration to observe her subordinates.
As the queen of Ketsubutsu, Shokuhou had no need for cowardly subordinates who would give the enemy a chance to drag down their own side.
Accelerator watched as the once orderly team became disorganized and scattered.
He calmly extended his right hand and slowly clenched it.
A tremor that almost made it impossible to stand once again came from beneath the ground, thankfully lasting only a short time.
Under the horrified gazes of the people, that giant earthen arm made of hard concrete performed a clenching motion just like a human hand.
It transformed into a massive fist.
Despite its enormous size, the concrete giant fist moved terrifyingly fast, the wind from breaking through the surrounding air alone was enough to blow away those nearby.
Therefore, Shokuhou, in a state of explosive acting, used telepathy to instruct her subordinates and servant army.
"Use all your strength to stop it!"
"We absolutely cannot let this strike land!"
"Eh heh, it's over just like that☆"
The first to act was Todoroki Shoto from the controlled U.A. team.
Todoroki-kun directly crouched down and touched the ground.
This time, her "Half-Cold" Quirk was being wildly overused, causing the temperature of the area to drop suddenly.
Countless crystal-clear ice crystals rose from in front of her, forming a continuous range of ice mountains that collided with the concrete giant fist.
The aftermath of the collision between the two forces, with a clear disparity in volume, created a relentless gale, like a shockwave, making the temperature of the area even lower.
But the massive concrete giant fist didn't stop.
Even with Todoroki-kun's continuous efforts, it was the defensive side's ice mountains that began to crumble.
The gap in sheer strength was just too great.
This concrete behemoth of a fist, though a whimsical one-off manipulation by Accelerator, was made from the very concrete of the competition arena. From the perspective of raw materials, it was quite superior. Moreover, these materials had been compressed under dozens of special vectors, as if they were being tempered and sharpened like a weapon. Whether in terms of hardness or strength, even Todoroki's newly acquired gear, which enhanced her Quirk, paled in comparison.
Yet, it was still not enough.
The iceberg, several sizes smaller than the concrete giant, along with the surrounding buildings of the arena, were crushed to dust. The ice crystals that burst forth from the shattered icy mountain danced in the sky like angel wings. Todoroki, reaching the limit of his "Half-Cold" Quirk, didn't hesitate to activate her "Half-Hot" Quirk. Only when both were used together, could she reach the pinnacle of her power.
A blazing blue flame twisted wildly from the other half of her body, converging into a dazzling wave of fire, challenging the concrete fist once more. If Yoarashi Inasa could counter Todoroki's wave of fire with his "Whirlwind" Quirk, then the concrete fist relied on its mass and the wind generated by its speed to tear through the flames. After all, combustion requires oxygen.
Nice, watching from a building nine hundred meters away, saw it more clearly and commented, "What a pity, her flames and ice crystals were both brutally shattered by that massive fist."
"Judging by the girl's hair color, she must be this year's U.A. Sports Festival champion, right?"
"Isn't she the daughter of the No.2 Hero, Endeavor? But it seems she's also under the thumb of the Ketsubutsu Queen."
The elite forces of Ketsubutsu, still eager for battle at the front lines, grew impatient. It was clear that even the power of U.A.'s Todoroki Shoto alone couldn't block it for a moment, and the long-range firepower of both the U.A. team and their own was unable to breach the barrier of that fist. It was the worst scenario imaginable.
The black-haired girl Sei, closest to Accelerator, pulled the trigger of her custom firearm again, converting all the friction of the ground into speed for a high kick aimed at his face. In Sei's mind, Accelerator must be fully focused on controlling that power, making it the perfect opportunity for a sneak attack.
As people realized that long-range attacks were ineffective, they began their next attempt.
"Sei, I'm coming to help you!"
This was Naru, who, at her core, controlled paper while wearing a cute, bear-shaped costume.
"Watch my second transformation!"
With the mischievous cry of the girl, the bear paw of the costume disintegrated instantly into a drill brimming with a technological and mechanical style.
Even at such a critical juncture, Naru remained optimistic, saying somewhat proudly, "Hehe, just like that!"
"Most beloved senpai, stand on my shoulders! Let's go together!"
Watching her junior, who was overjoyed to challenge the deep and unfathomable monster of U.A., Senpai Maimai smiled helplessly and said, "Since Naru begged me so earnestly, as a senpai, of course, I have to show what a true senpai is like."
With that, the brown-haired girl lightly jumped onto the shoulders of the costume, excitedly adding her piece.
Let's get super excited and cause a big ruckus!
After that, Nar began to exert his Quirk.
Wherever they went, the ground was left with marks as if a real drill had plowed through it, just like digging a tunnel.
Meanwhile, the U.A. team's classmates also came to a similar conclusion.
Although the classmates from Accelerator were all under the control of Shokuhou Misaki.
They had not lost their memories or anything like that.
Without following orders, they could still act on their own.
It's just that they couldn't achieve the precise and exquisite coordination like when Shokuhou deliberately controlled them, as if they were an army.
So, they attacked according to their own quirk.
Naturally, it was Bakugo Katsuki, who had launched a similar attack at the very beginning, and Midoriya Izuku, who was covered in a red one for all glow, and Iida, the class president, who was at his maximum speed.
"Grenade Bombshell Hit!"
"Piston Engine - Burst Sprint!"
"Smash!"
They were all among the best of the hero volunteers, and their Quirks were suitable for most situations.
And Accelerator naturally understood their intentions, watching the struggling people and laughing.
"Game over."
The speed of the entire concrete giant fist suddenly soared again.
This strike was not aimed at anyone in particular, it was simply Todoroki hitting the ground.
Everyone in the area was knocked down by this extremely brute force.
According to Accelerator's estimate, the people on the ground in this area would not be able to stand up for a short time.
And those flying in the air were much worse off, as the shockwave produced by the collision of the ground and the giant fist hit them hard.
If Accelerator hadn't been carefully controlling the power to protect their lives, the match would have turned into a one-sided slaughter.
The entire competition area, whether it was the factories in the uninhabited areas or the buildings that had been battered in previous battles, were all flattened by the unreasonable shockwave aftermath.
Looking at the sudden quiet around him, Accelerator said with satisfaction.
"That should be enough."
Accelerator never really liked this kind of activity.
[Speaking of which... Every time I hear about this Festival? It always sounds so familiar...]
[Strange...]
This was also the first time Accelerator noticed an anomaly that shouldn't exist.
As soon as he finished speaking.
All the specially made orange spheres that had fallen in various places floated up and accurately landed on the "weak points" of the students from other schools.
And the scores on the school scoreboards and individual scoreboards at the referee's side were unprecedentedly blown up.
Not only was a single hero science school (U.A.) score born that broke the history of that world, but the individual scores were also broken.
Of course, the first limited hero science melee had not ended.
Because there were still the U.A. team and two other people in the entire arena who had not lost their scores.
Accelerator knew that besides Shokuhou, whom he had deliberately left behind, there must be a little mouse hiding in the dark that had not appeared.
[To be able to dodge the range of a punch? Seems worth observing.]
