Lightning Release: Chidori Sharp Spear

Bakugo Katsuki also knew that now was not the time to fight Shoto Todoroki. After all, it would indeed be difficult for him to win on his own. He had seen Chiffon's Quirk and analyzed it. Chiffon was a troublesome opponent.

They were still in the training exam, and fighting his own classmates would make him seem rather extreme. Someone like that could not become a hero.

Shoto Todoroki was very fast. The building had eight floors, and he had already reached the fourth, freezing the entire building along the way. He felt that no matter how strong Chiffon's Quirk was, he could not withstand the cold, especially in such a relatively enclosed environment.

"Todoroki, we meet again." Chiffon stood at the end of the corridor with a smile. Behind him was the entrance to the sixth floor.

"No way, is Chiffon planning to take on both Bakugo Katsuki and Shoto Todoroki by himself?" Koji Koda said in surprise. He had never even imagined such a scene.

Eijiro Kirishima clenched his fists and said admiringly, "Now that's a man!"

"Why do I suddenly think Chiffon is really handsome?" Toru Hagakure said at that moment.

"Huh?" The classmates all turned toward Toru Hagakure. Aoyama Yuga ran a hand through his hair and asked, "Hagakure, don't tell me you've fallen for Chiffon?"

"N-No, I haven't. Don't you all think Chiffon is handsome?" Toru Hagakure stammered, though no one could tell whether her face was red or pale, because they could not see it at all.

"I think Todoroki is pretty handsome too." Kyoka Jiro nodded, and several girls voiced their agreement.

"Classmates, could you please watch the match seriously? It'll be our turn soon." Tenya Iida truly was a conversation killer. Once he said that, everyone grew a little nervous and turned their attention back to the screen.

Shoto Todoroki said nothing and attacked immediately. He lightly stomped one foot against the ground, and a stream of ice instantly surged toward Chiffon, trying to freeze him in place.

Chiffon had seen this move long ago. Unhurried, he raised his right hand, and an electric current as thick as a thumb instantly pierced through Shoto Todoroki's icy torrent.

Shoto Todoroki's expression shifted slightly. He had finally gauged Chiffon's strength. Such strength would not have been out of place in a recommended student, yet Chiffon seemed to have entered U.A. High School through the regular exam.

No matter what, he had to go all out.

Clapping his hands together, Shoto Todoroki thrust them forward. A mass of ice instantly formed in his palms and shot fiercely toward Chiffon. This was his real attack.

"Good." Chiffon suddenly smiled, gathering the power of lightning in his right hand as he said, "Lightning Release: Chidori Sharp Spear."

A blue flash of lightning shot from his palm, forming a blue laser no thicker than a thumb. With a sweep of one hand, it sliced through Shoto Todoroki's ice blast like a cutting machine, shattering it into pieces. The ice was instantly dismantled.

Lightning Release: Chidori Sharp Spear originated from the anime Naruto. It was a Lightning Release ninjutsu created by Sasuke Uchiha, altering Chidori's shape transformation. Though it was less powerful than Chidori, its attack range was greater.

However, Chiffon's current strength only allowed him to release it to a distance of about one and a half meters, and it was only as thick as a thumb.

After using Chidori Sharp Spear, he could clearly feel his stamina draining. He could not use this skill too often, even though it only had the form of the technique.

Shoto Todoroki's expression finally changed completely. He had never seen a Quirk skill like this before, one that could condense lightning into a line to strike objects—and one as sharp as a cutting machine.

At that moment, Shoto Todoroki truly regarded Chiffon as an opponent. He had to prove himself, then defeat Chiffon.

"What move did Chiffon just use?" Some students exclaimed in shock as they watched the screen. They felt as if Chiffon had received professional training and was already infinitely close to a Professional Hero.

Some even wondered whether Professional Heroes could do what Chiffon had done.

The answer was unknown. Their sense of Chiffon's mystery had risen again. At present, the strongest assessment score in the class belonged to Bakugo Katsuki, but that had only been the entrance exam.

Shoto Todoroki was even more impressive, having entered through recommendation. Rumor had it that he was the number one.

Now that a Dark Horse like Chiffon had emerged, the scales in everyone's hearts began to tilt again. They had to reassess him.

All Might frowned slightly. The power Chiffon displayed did not seem like that of a student. He was more like an experienced Professional Hero, though in some respects, Chiffon still fell short of one.

Based on that alone, it made perfect sense for the school to value Chiffon. Otherwise, the principal would not have made an exception and allowed him into Hero Class A.

Still, All Might felt there was something strange about Chiffon, though he could not say exactly what it was.

"Move aside. Let me take down this arrogant bastard."

At that moment, Bakugo Katsuki charged in from behind. He leaped into the air and pounced directly at Chiffon, flames flickering continuously in his palms as though he were preparing a massive Explosion.

"Then come at me together." Chiffon had already assessed Shoto Todoroki's strength, and Bakugo Katsuki would not be much weaker. Facing these two powerful opponents, he was indeed struggling, but he still had to fight.

"Die!" A burst of fire erupted from Bakugo Katsuki's right hand. An explosion rang out as it rushed straight at Chiffon.

Gray-black smoke instantly spread. Chiffon knew his chance had come. Opening his left hand, he sent an invisible force outward. It was as if something had filled the air, suppressing the flames within the explosion to their weakest point. From the outside, the black smoke was all that could be seen.

After avoiding the cloud of smoke, Chiffon did not intend to give the two of them time to react. He charged straight at Bakugo Katsuki. Bakugo Katsuki, who had thought victory was in his grasp, suddenly saw Chiffon rushing toward him through the smoke at incredible speed.

The next moment, Chiffon's right hand touched Bakugo Katsuki's chest. Blue light flared, and Bakugo Katsuki's legs went limp as he dropped to his knees.

Just then, a mass of ice froze Chiffon's right hand. Shoto Todoroki said with a grim expression, "I won't let you succeed."

An even larger ice blast appeared. Not wanting to take it head-on, Chiffon immediately retreated to the sixth floor. Once there, he found a blind spot in the cameras and waved his left hand, using the power of air to shatter the ice clinging to his right hand.

"I froze the hand he uses for his Thunder Quirk. He won't be able to break free for a while. Wait here for me." After saying that, Shoto Todoroki prepared to head to the sixth floor. Against Chiffon, he had to stay fully alert.

However, Bakugo Katsuki grabbed Shoto Todoroki's left foot. Shoto Todoroki looked down to see Bakugo Katsuki gritting his teeth as he said with difficulty, "H-How can I be defeated by a guy like him?"

Shoto Todoroki said nothing. At a time like this, Bakugo Katsuki was still being driven by his pride. This guy really did care that much about saving face. He was prideful too.

"Can you still move?" Shoto Todoroki asked.

"I'm fine." Bakugo Katsuki suddenly roared. It seemed as though fury burned in his heart as he rose shakily to his feet, his eyes filled with determination to defeat Chiffon.

"If you can't, don't force yourself. Follow me." Shoto Todoroki sped toward the sixth floor. After all, Chiffon still had two helpers. Denki Kaminari might be easier to deal with, but Momo Yaoyorozu was also a recommended student like him, and her strength could not be underestimated.

"You're so damn noisy!" Bakugo Katsuki curled his lip and followed behind him.
