"Hey, are those two okay?"
"I feel like they're going to fight first."
Over the past two days, many people have learned about the rocky relationship between Bakugo Katsuki and Midoriya Izuku, and they can't help but worry about them.
"According to the typical storyline, shouldn't I be on a team with Momo or some other girl?"
Itadori laughed, almost mocking himself.
"Itadori! We're on the same team!"
Inasa yelled.
"Shut up, you're too loud."
Itadori raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't this team combination too strong?"
Kirishima noticed Itadori and Inasa paired together.
Denki also looked worried and clasped his hands together, almost as if praying, "Please don't let us face them."
In the training room, everyone observed the setup. A few people noted that Momo had placed something along the walls in various blind spots.
Curious, All Might zoomed in on the footage and discovered countless miniature cameras!
As the training began, Mineta and Iida, who were both equipped with non-destructive Quirks, cautiously entered the building. Meanwhile, Momo and Uraraka, tasked with protecting the "nuclear bomb," had already set up a series of strategic traps.
Just as Mineta and Iida turned the corner, a faint explosion echoed as part of the stairs collapsed, burying them in rubble.
"Oops, I got tricked!"
Iida grabbed Mineta, pulling him from the debris. They tried a different route, but as they climbed the next staircase, an invisible wire was triggered, snaring Iida by the ankle.
"Another trap? Mineta, be careful!"
Suddenly, Ochako activated her Quirk, causing debris from above to fall and trap the two in a net.
"The battle's over, Mineta and Iida." Momo said confidently as she and Uraraka approached, pointing a prop gun at them.
"The winners are Group A: Momo Yaoyorozu and Ochako Uraraka!" All Might's voice boomed through the training building's speakers, declaring their victory.
"That was impressive, Momo!" Mina cheered.
"She made full use of strategy—she's a smart hero, huh?" Asui nodded approvingly.
All Might provided feedback, praising Momo's calculated approach and critiquing Iida's impulsiveness. "Iida, you didn't fully assess the enemy's territory. This led to your team's defeat."
"Yes, I understand." Iida said, bowing his head.
"Next up, the second match!" All Might announced, "Team D: Bakugo Katsuki and Midoriya Izuku vs. Team F: Itadori and Yoarashi Inasa!"
Itadori wore a smug expression, while Yoarashi grinned with excitement. Across from them, Bakugo looked furious, and Midoriya seemed nervous as they entered another training building.
"Who do you think will win?" Ashido Mina asked.
"Team F." Toru Hagakure, Kaminari, and Shoji Mezo all agreed.
"Team F has better compatibility, and they're stronger on average."
Momo chimed in, "Both teams have players who struggle with teamwork, but Team F has a big power advantage."
Ochako watched the monitors closely.
"I'm stepping out for a bit." All Might said, leaving the monitoring room.
"Is he going to supervise them directly?" Kaminari wondered aloud.
"Inasa, Itadori, and Bakugo all have high destructive power." Shoji noted, "And Aizawa-sensei hasn't fully assessed Itadori's Quirk yet."
In the surveillance feed, Itadori and Yoarashi Inasa reached the top floor, where a large training prop, the "nuclear bomb," waited.
"Got any plans, Itadori?" Yoarashi shouted from the other side of the prop.
With a smirk, Itadori replied, "Bakugo's the easier one. He's so emotionally driven, he'll probably try to blow through the floors to reach us. Just use your Quirk to lift this thing into the air."
Itadori tapped the "nuclear bomb" with a smile, "Once I handle the hothead, Midoriya's all yours. I want to test his strength."
"Midoriya tougher than Bakugo? Really?" Yoarashi asked, surprised.
"You're overestimating Bakugo." Itadori said coolly, "Just use your Quirk to find him, and I'll finish him off in no time."
Meanwhile, in the training building, Bakugo shoved Midoriya, shouting, "Get away from me, you useless extra!"
The students watching on the monitors frowned at this interaction, though it was expected.
Midoriya, undeterred, quickly caught up, "Bakugo! Itadori and Inasa are both strong in close and long-range combat. We need to work together to have a chance!"
"Are you lecturing me?" Bakugo growled, visibly irritated. He held back from insulting Midoriya's lack of a Quirk, as he usually would, remembering that Midoriya now had power too.
In the monitoring room, Momo suddenly called out, "Inasa's on the move!"
All eyes shifted to the "enemy" team's camera. They watched as Yoarashi Inasa released controlled gusts of wind, allowing him to sense the positions of Bakugo and Midoriya throughout the building.
"What's he doing?" Kaminari asked, confused.
"He's using the wind to pinpoint their exact locations." Shoji explained, "This puts Midoriya and Bakugo completely at their mercy."
"Get to the other side, Deku!" Bakugo shouted, wanting to attack Midoriya but restraining himself. His patience was clearly wearing thin.
Was it because Itadori was worried about attacking his teammate? Or was he concerned that any attack would reveal his position to the enemy team?
Only he could truly know the answer.
Despite his overwhelming fear, even to the point of tears, Izuku Midoriya didn't turn away.
Had he conquered his fear of Bakugo Katsuki? Or perhaps he knew that splitting up would only guarantee failure?
Or maybe it was both.
As Bakugo Katsuki climbed higher, something started to feel off.
The wind was getting stronger!
"That wind-controlling bastard! Is he using the wind to track my location?" Bakugo suddenly realized.
The next second, a bloodthirsty grin crossed his face, "In that case, watch me mess up your wind!"
Boom—!!!
Bakugo Katsuki unleashed his Quirk with both hands, detonating with enough force to shatter all the windows on the floor.
"Uh-Uh!" Izuku Midoriya yelped, blown backward by the force, nearly flung out of a window.
"Bakugo is such a reckless guy! Even his teammates are affected!" Kirishima shouted, gritting his teeth.
"He's trying to disrupt Itadori's wind perception, but using such a large-scale attack in a confined space is really risky." Momo observed calmly.
Just as everyone was criticizing Bakugo's wild strategy, on the "Enemy Group" screen, Yoarashi Inasa shouted to Takean, "It's disrupted, but I can confirm the position—it's on the fourth floor, three meters left of the right staircase!"
Pointing in the indicated direction, Inasa nodded with certainty.
Buzz—
Itadori smiled slightly, and [The World] appeared beside him. Under the shocked eyes of Inasa and everyone in the monitoring room, he used a hand blade to carve a thin crack in the floor, just wide enough for him to pass through.
Such precision—remarkable.
Meanwhile, on Bakugo's side:
He had succeeded in disrupting Inasa's wind perception and was ready to move.
Just then, Izuku Midoriya, who was still reeling from the blast, cried out, "Kacchan! Above you!"
Annoyed, Bakugo raised an eyebrow, but still glanced upward instinctively.
What he saw wasn't the ceiling but [The World], emerging through the floor with a swift blade hand strike!
