Mizukawa Ran's actions were not impulsive.
In this situation, this decision was the best way to distance herself from the League of Villains in front of Kacchan.
This would solidify her position.
Even in the safe house, Shigaraki Tomura couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems the pawn hasn't given up yet."
He changed his tone and continued happily.
"But working so hard has its benefits. This way, the effect will be more realistic."
While gaining Kacchan's favor, she could also further prove her "innocence."
Mizukawa Ran, who thought she understood the enemy's Quirk, made this decision, believing she could delay them even if she couldn't win.
She just needed to be especially careful of the Quirk Compression from Mr Compress
That guy's Quirk could compress anything into a ball, and the compressed person couldn't move or resist.
With her strong Telekinesis Quirk, Mizukawa Ran wasn't afraid even if these people attacked together, as long as she was prepared and took a defensive stance.
It turned out that this woman's plan was effective, and Bakugo's guard against his childhood friend lowered again.
First, Mizukawa Ran didn't have any special tools on her, so there was no possibility of taking any tools.
Second, if Mizukawa Ran was really being threatened, then helping him out of the trap now should be her true intention.
Noticing Bakugo's hesitation, Todoroki, who was hiding in the dark, quickly stepped out and shouted.
"Bakugo! Don't trust Mizukawa Ran easily!"
"Even if you are childhood friends, you can't judge the situation based on one person's words!"
"Calm down!"
Hearing Todoroki's words, Bakugo Katsuki, with his intelligence, knew that his classmate had been hiding nearby all along.
This interference made Mizukawa Ran feel both wronged and angry.
"Damn woman! I thought you were a good person!"
"I didn't expect you to be such a b*tch ruining my plans!"
Every time Kacchan was about to believe her, these people would mess things up, making Mizukawa Ran extremely frustrated.
In the end, once the seed of distrust is planted, it becomes much harder to regain trust.
In the safe house, Shigaraki, who had a clear view of everything happening on the scene, gave the order.
The four members of the **League of Villains** started to move.
Except for Mizukawa Ran, neither Todoroki Shoto nor Bakugo Katsuki knew the **League of Villains**' purpose.
But Mizukawa Ran, who knew the plot, didn't dare to reveal the enemy's purpose in front of the **League of Villains**, Todoroki, and Kacchan.
Because that would only make them suspicious.
With the new equipment, the strength and hardness of the ice crystals were greatly improved, blocking the Moonfish's "teeth blades" without obstructing the view.
The "teeth" that smashed through the cannon barrage struck Todoroki's ice wall, creating sparks and a sound like metal clashing.
But this level of attack couldn't penetrate Todoroki's ice defense.
In the safe house, Shigaraki Tomura noticed this detail and said to Kurogiri, who was pouring him a drink.
"See, Kurogiri, just as I thought, the equipment of those close to Accelerator is upgrading at an unbelievable speed."
"Even in terms of equipment, that guy is a monster..."
A familiar sense of helplessness began to rise in the gradually maturing Shigaraki's heart.
But this time, Shigaraki Tomura didn't react as violently as before.
He just quietly flicked the glass Kurogiri had just filled for him.
Apart from the crisp sound of his nail hitting the glass, Shigaraki Tomura made no further moves.
This scene made Kurogiri very satisfied.
Not getting overly excited when things go well, and not getting discouraged or venting randomly when problems arise, Shigaraki had indeed grown to handle his emotions well.
Meanwhile, at the forest training camp, the fake Tomura charged straight at Bakugo.
The enemy's reckless charge made both Bakugo and Todoroki cautious.
Even Mizukawa Ran, who knew the plot, was puzzled.
Based on the anime's records and impressions, Shigaraki Tomura did have some close combat ability.
But he wasn't strong enough to easily take on the powerful combination of Bakugo and Todoroki from Class A.
Mizukawa Ran clearly remembered that in the USJ arc of the original anime, Shigaraki had to trade injuries to barely fight Aizawa Shouta, the Class A homeroom teacher.
Both of them had privately learned about the **League of Villains**' leader, Shigaraki Tomura, whose Quirk was Decay.
Although the enemy leader's Quirk was strong, it required close combat to be effective.
In this situation, the ice wall created by Todoroki's "Half-Cold" Quirk still firmly protected Bakugo and Todoroki.
"Does the enemy plan to touch the ice wall and use their Quirk?"
Such thoughts flashed through Todoroki's mind.
So, Todoroki Shoto decisively used his "Half-Burn" power.
Hot and strong blue flames instantly burned from one side of Todoroki's body.
The blue light shone on the girl's face, making her look even more beautiful.
The flames turned into a rushing river, carrying amazing heat towards the fake Tomura who had left his companions and advanced alone.
The fake Tomura, who seemed unprotected, passed through the flames, revealing himself as a high-end Nomu!
"What?!"
The three heroes exclaimed.
The effect of the Quirk "Mimic" was undone.
The hot flames did leave many burns on the high-end Nomu, but Todoroki's flames were not strong enough to destroy the Nomu's regeneration ability in one go.
The Nomu crossed its arms, and with great and brute force, shattered the ice crystals and came forcefully towards Bakugo.
When Bakugo tried to turn his explosive power into propulsion, it was already too late.
The iron fist of the high-end Nomu was about to hit Bakugo.
Meanwhile, the ice crystals under Todoroki's feet were rapidly spreading towards the high-end Nomu.
Mizukawa Ran shouted anxiously.
"Don't hurt Kacchan!"
Several psychic shields that had once blocked the Moonfish's attack appeared in front of Bakugo.
Someone hiding behind the high-end Nomu laughed.
"Hahaha, what a brilliant act, Ran!"
"Thanks to your shout, they all fell for it!"
The situation took a sharp turn, and the only thing that didn't change was the growing despair in Mizukawa Ran's heart.
