"Are you okay?" Todoroki asked, noticing the two defeated villains:
- Although, why am I asking?
I chuckled:
- I see you're doing well too.
He just nodded and looked into the distance at Aizawa's fight. I did the same.
"It's going to be hard for him. We should do something," Todoroki concluded sensibly.
I nodded, and then suddenly...
*NOOOOO*
Todoroki and I turned to face the lake in unison.
- Midoriya... - I smiled.
- You're right... - he, like me, noticed his silhouette in the sky. Asui was with him.
Okay, no time to waste here. I've got a rough idea of how the mission works, so there won't be many problems. You need to knock out the enemy and then it will be perceived as a victory.
I only got one and it was all because of Todoroki. I couldn't turn off the cheetah girl.
I need to catch up ASAP. How can I look people in the eye if I only earn a thousand points on this task?
- Okay, bye. We need to help the others, - having said this, I immediately rushed towards the next zone.
Todoroki didn't follow me, which is already good.
After about one minute...
The battle on the main stage continued, as for me... I arrived on the other side of the mountains and found several classmates fighting, including Momo, and then without thinking, I intervened in the battle!
"Koji!"
- Ha! What luck! - Denki shouted.
*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*
Admittedly, these villains were so-so. Their quirks were incredibly mediocre, which is understandable, because if they were stronger, they wouldn't be backing up Shigaraki. In fact, we were facing the weakest possible quirk people who didn't even study at an academy. I've never fought them, but the lack of anxiety before a fight played a role, as well as multiple training sessions in the past.
So, as a result...
Having dealt with several enemies in the mountain area, I rushed in the opposite direction.
- Koji! Where are you going?!
But I ignored Momo and went hunting. Forgive me, I don't have time for our nice conversations now...
*Boom**Boom**Boom**Boom*
In the landslide zone I immediately came across a whole group who were very unlucky to run into me...
After a couple of minutes, my account had ten thousand more points.
Now that's something...
I heard faint explosions from afar, Katsuki seemed to be having a good time there. I wonder why I wasn't thrown in with him?
Okay, time to move on... I admit, a quirk of intelligence would be very useful now. And during the last test too. I didn't take this into account before, and it was a shame. It's worth thinking about it later...
*Boom**Boom**Boom**Boom**Boom**Boom*
I moved through the heads, as planned. Over time, it became more and more difficult to find new ones. Eventually, I even moved to the fire zone, and then to the hurricane and rainstorm zone. So-so place for my quirk, but the enemies were either well hidden or there were no more of them left. Of course, not everything always went smoothly, I was already wounded ten times. Fighting against a whole crowd was not always easy, especially if their quirk was worth something... But, I managed, although my right eye was bleeding slightly. One bastard managed to catch me with his stone quirk.
According to my rough estimates, there were more than fifty of these small fry. In the end, I won almost forty. Not a great number, but I think it's a good result for one student...
But as soon as I left the fire zone, leaving another group of classmates behind, He appeared... the Almighty.
It must be admitted that his appearance was something else...
- Everything is fine. I'm already here!
What an aura... I felt an incredible tremor in my chest when he appeared. Although he had lost the lion's share of his strength, he was still a real monster. This terrifying aura was enough to instill incredible confidence and calm.
I exhaled slowly. Not from relief, of course, but rather from the realization that everything would soon come to an end. All that was left was to believe that the Almighty would cope. Considering that in canon he was almost on the verge of defeat... However, there was nothing I could do about it. One blow from this Nomu could send me to the other world. Not to mention the Shigaraki Disintegration. I'd better do what I can do...
It's just a pity that there are almost no opponents left.
Even when All Might sent Nomu flying and cornered Shigaraki, I only defeated two while chasing the third. My speed wasn't what it used to be, and my stamina was starting to fail. But, I had to collect another thousand points!
And I succeeded, after which I was so exhausted that I fell flat on the ground...
- Ha-a...
Wow... What a challenge. I wish it was always like this. My training clearly doesn't compare to this.
Of course, one thing is obvious - I was not strong enough yet. However, the result is satisfactory...
I had 43,000 points! With that, I could not only count on a good quirk, but maybe even save up a little more and get one of the top abilities!
But all this later, now I need to rest...
My eyes were closing on their own. Maybe it was from blood loss? Although, I'm not sure... I was wounded in the back and shoulder, and my head... The ringing was a little annoying. I was in such a hurry that I got a little greedy, looking down on these small fry. Although, Healing Girl should help.
It's good that the Almighty managed. Everything could have been different... Today, many things could have gone wrong. I could have even intervened and done something against Shigaraki in the end. A dangerous adventure, but still there were chances. But something told me that it would be better to let this League form for now. They are my potential system points, so why ruin my growth and take unnecessary risks?
I believe my performance will not go unnoticed. Maybe it will be useful... I was not a hero, I was just hunting, but they don't know about that? I'll pretend that I wanted to help my classmates.
While thinking about all this, I didn't even notice how consciousness began to leave me. Then I heard Iida's cry somewhere in the backyard, who brought help.
Heh... I guess it's time to rest now?
