"Got him."
The shadow behind the high-end Nomu, disguised as the fake Tomura, was none other than Compress.
This enemy's Quirk is "Compress," and he wore a brown wide coat and a magician's mask.
He could use his Quirk to compress anything into a ball, and the compressed person couldn't resist or move.
It was an extremely excellent control ability.
Bakugo Katsuki was turned into a magic marble by the "Compress" Quirk.
Seeing this, Mizukawa Ran felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body cold, and her blood gradually freezing.
Despair was the only word to describe her feelings.
Before Todoroki could react, Mr Compress who was as fast as Bakugo, calmly leaned on a tree branch with a gentleman's hand and provocatively asked.
"My magic is interesting, isn't it?"
He kept tossing the magic marble that imprisoned Bakugo Katsuki in his hand, as if showing off his power.
"This guy (Bakugo) shouldn't be with you heroes."
"We will take him to a brighter stage."
"My partner, Ran, don't you think so too?"
In fact, Mizukawa Ran had not been careless during the confrontation between the two sides.
Rather than being careless or underestimating the enemy, it was more accurate to say that her entire mode of action had long been seen through.
After all, behind the three members of the League of Villains on the scene was Shigaraki Tomura, who knew her character and thinking logic well.
A leopard can't change its spots.
It was Mizukawa Ran's excessive caution that allowed the enemy's actions to go so smoothly.
Ran's full-powered Telekinesis shield had no problem. Several such strong blue shields could completely block a full punch from a high-level Nomu.
However, her actions had already been predicted, and Shigaraki Tomura's instructions quietly exploited this defense's weakness to achieve their goal.
Mr Compress was lurking behind the high-level Nomu. He jumped high and used his Quirk to move to the blind spot of the 180-degree Telekinesis shield to capture Bakugo Katsuki.
This tactic was truly a heartbreaker.
Todoroki Shoto, who was with them, didn't know Mr Compress Quirk.
On the surface, Mizukawa Ran's shield seemed to let the enemy's attack through, while also distracting herself and Bakugo.
It was like she was acting as the enemy's accomplice. (Simply put, like a player acting in a competitive game)
With the League of Villains' careful planning and Mizukawa Ran's unconscious cooperation, Bakugo Katsuki fell into the enemy's hands.
Todoroki knew that the current situation was not the time to consider Amajiki's boundary-breaking issue, so the only option was to go all out.
"Give Bakugo back!"
As the girl slowly opened her hands, blue flames burst out on her left side.
This was a flame wave that reached a special critical point due to worry for her companion and anger at the enemy.
On her right side, white mist was constantly emanating.
A cold wave that could instantly freeze an entire building was also rushing in.
Mr Compress saw Todoroki Shoto's power and didn't retreat. He easily stepped on the tree branches under his feet, holding his hat, and continued to speak to Todoroki on the ground.
"That's a strange thing to say."
"Bakugo is not anyone's possession."
"He belongs to himself."
"Just like Mizukawa Ran, who chose to stand with us."
Mizukawa Ran, in a state of panic, loudly retorted.
"You're lying!"
"I'm not! I was forced!"
Seeing the hesitant pawn say the expected words, Shigaraki Tomura in the safe house sneered.
"Boring woman."
"A pawn that's too easy to control always lacks surprises and excitement."
"Compared to Yuu, she's far inferior."
Hearing this, Kurogiri understood that his young master was clearly still brooding over Yamada Yu's death.
He could understand his young master's feelings.
Shigaraki continued to speak as he watched the scene at the forest training camp.
"It seems Accelerator's masterpiece isn't perfect either."
At the forest training camp, Todoroki Shoto couldn't come up with a good way to deal with Mr Compress, who could fly at high speed in the air.
Even though the new equipment greatly enhanced her Quirk.
However, the control of power and the accuracy of attacks were issues that required personal time to solve.
At present, Todoroki had not fully absorbed the power boost brought by her equipment.
The effective range of her ice crystals was insufficient, and the accuracy of her flames was not enough.
The few flame attacks she launched were easily dodged by the enemy.
Mr Compress, even unhurriedly holding his hat, continued to argue in the air.
"We are just giving him a new set of values."
"Showing him a new path, letting him understand that this world is not just what it seems."
"Today's kids are choosing their paths based on fixed values."
Todoroki gritted his teeth, thinking about the enemy's Quirk, and pretended to talk to the enemy.
"You're even trying to argue."
"Are you underestimating us?"
Secretly, Shoto was adjusting her aim, predicting the enemy's speed and flight path in the air.
Dodging Todoroki's attack again, the enemy responded calmly.
"I used to be an entertainer, my specialty is running away and lying."
"In a fight, there will always be someone to be your enemy."
Before he finished speaking, Todoroki and the others heard beast-like roars.
It was the high-level Nomu, like a human tank, and the reckless, energy-draining human blade array "Moonfish."
In the air, the enemy asked his companions through a voice channel.
"The second target has been successfully retrieved."
"Has the first target's location been confirmed?"
A response came through the voice channel.
"The location is on the mountain on the right side of the forest."
"Now the vest guy is fighting the first target, it's only a matter of time before he takes him down."
"Got it, I'm heading there now."
On the ground, Moonfish and the incredibly strong high-level Nomu were delaying Todoroki Shoto and Mizukawa Ran from intercepting the enemy.
Unlike the high-level Nomu, who purely followed orders and had stable production.
Moonfish was a death row inmate, a rare case who voluntarily gave up his appeal after being sentenced to death, a pure killing maniac.
These two enemies were the type who didn't fear non-lethal attacks, even with Todoroki and Mizukawa Ran going all out, they couldn't break free quickly.
