Kaminari vs. Jilan

"Jilan, look! There's a fire over there!" Toru Hagakure grabbed Jilan's arm and said excitedly, "The people around must have been unable to stand by and watch and punished them!"

By this time, Toru Hagakure had changed into an orange outfit. The sportswear and underwear she had taken off on the field were picked up by the staff and placed in Class A's rest room, but she refused to wear them and instead put on the Yaoyorozu had made for her earlier.

If Jilan wasn't mistaken, Toru Hagakure's lower body was currently naked. But even so, it didn't arouse any interest in him, and perhaps even Minoru Mineta had no desire to find out.

"The winner is Shoto Todoroki Hero Course, who will advance to the second round! Let's take a short break and move on to the next group's matches!"

Jilan is currently standing in the passageway for the contestants to enter the arena. Because the ice blocks created by Shoto Todoroki have covered half of the arena, the school staff are currently busy dealing with them, so the interval between matches is a bit long this time.

But for the audience, this period was anything but boring. They ate snacks sold by the Management Course students while watching with great interest the clown show performed for them in the stands and the U.A. High School. Pro Hero below processing the ice.

This period passed quickly. Takeshi Goda and his family were taken away by Pro Hero maintaining order for vandalizing public property. The ice on the field was crushed by a teacher dressed like WarGreymon driving an excavator, and Cementoss recast the ground.

Then...

"In the third match, Kaminari Denki, the Discharge Boy from the Hero Course, Denki Kaminari Jilan Jiyu, the class president of the Hero Course, who is clearly in the finals but whose strength remains unclear!"

"Jilan, although I feel sorry about what happened before, you've certainly had a good look, haven't you?" Denki Kaminari said confidently, tossing his hair. "So, I won't hold back in this match!"

"Kaminari, to be honest, it's really my misfortune to face you this time. I thought you were the one who could make it to the finals." Jilan Jiyu, seemingly feeling somewhat heavy-hearted. "My weakest point in combat is ranged attacks, and your electricity is the best in that area."

Kaminari was stunned. "Jilan, you..."

"Electricity travels much faster than ice. Even if I can dodge the ice attack, I can't avoid the damage from the electricity. However, if you let me get close, the situation will be reversed, and I will knock you down without hesitation." Jilan Jiyu revealed a smile that seemed to be forced. "Kaminari, it's your lack of full power that's troublesome for me. Now, attack me with your full power."

"Yes!" Denki Kaminari nodded, somewhat touched. In his view, this was the class monitor deliberately exposing his weakness in order to advance him. "I will not let you down!"

"The match begins!"

The moment the referee announced the result, an electric current instantly enveloped Kaminari's entire body. He chuckled, "You lost, but don't hold a grudge!"

Denki Kaminari's hair was pulled by the electric current, and each strand stood upright, like Super Saiyan radiating golden electricity.

"Indiscriminate Shock, 1.3 million volts!"

Denki Kaminari was like a human-shaped Pikachu, filling the entire arena with electricity, and the intense current spread all the way to Jilan Jiyu!

The entire arena was enveloped in a dazzling golden light, and the bright electric light shone on the faces of every spectator. This was Denki Kaminari's all-out attack, his greatest effort!

After a moment of dazzling light, the current gradually dimmed, leaving only a golden light shining on the field—that was Jilan Jiyu's Hamon!

Jilan Jiyu Yu exuded the aroma of roasted meat. He lowered his hand from his face, and the dark red skin that had been scorched quickly recovered under the influence of the Hamon in Jilan's breath, leaving his palms still fair.

"Kaminari, next time you encounter an enemy, don't be so quick to believe them. You have such a powerful Quirk, yet you use it so superficially, completely disregarding the conversion rate...?"

Jilan Jiyu sighed, walked up to Kaminari as if he were walking normally, grabbed him by the back of his collar as they passed each other, and dragged him toward the white boundary.

Denki Kaminari no resistance, his eyes glazed over, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, like a patient with dementia constantly giving a thumbs-up.

Denki Kaminari has a strong Quirk, but he never holds back. Once he uses his Quirk, either his opponent collapses and he becomes mentally impaired, or his opponent is fine and he becomes mentally impaired. If he has teammates on the battlefield, it's fine, but in a one-on-one duel, doing this is tantamount to courting death, leaving himself absolutely no way out.

Upon reaching the white boundary, Jilan Jiyu tossed Shang Kaminari's body aside and released his grip. "You said you wouldn't hold a grudge if you lost."

Kaminari's knees scraped across the ground, leaving white lines, and he stared blankly at the audience in the stands, giving them thumbs-up. "Pikachu pikachu..." You could hear that sound if you got close.

"Everyone read that right, this match was another instant kill! Even though it was the Discharge Boy's home turf, he was defeated by the side effects of his own Quirk! The winner of this match is Jilan Jiyu, who did absolutely nothing, yet his opponent was rendered powerless. Congratulations to him!"

"... Didn't you do anything?" Shota Aizawa squinted, clearly dissatisfied with Mic's answer.

Even if they couldn't hear what the players on the field were saying, they could tell that Denki Kaminari's impatient maximum output discharge must have been disrupted by Jilan's words, otherwise he would have left some power to protect himself even if he discharged.

Jilan Jiyu, what are you thinking...?

The next match was between Tenya Iida. Iida Mei Hatsume, but the process was so heartbreaking that he didn't want the victory.

Before the match began, Mei Hatsume Iida and insisted on a fair match, forcefully handing him support equipment. Iida had never felt such respect for his abilities in his class before, and tearfully agreed.

He had a dispute with the referee at Midnight on the field and successfully obtained the right to use the support equipment. Just when he thought it was going to be an intense and exciting match, his ordeal began.

While dodging Iida's attacks, Mei Hatsume took out a microphone and introduced her equipment to the audience. If everyone had their own favorite characters in the obstacle course and horseback riding battle, and her equipment wasn't very eye-catching, and her introduction was cruelly cut off, then this time she truly became the center of attention.

Because this was the last one-on-one match, everyone could only watch the single game on the field. Even Mic, who felt particularly helpless, had no choice but to give up his commentary duties and let Mei Hatsume in the field introduce his equipment, while he started playing his handheld game console.

This is a competition that has garnered nationwide attention! Mei Hatsume played a super long and deeply moving match for free, so much so that this competition will go down in history!

"I have no regrets in this life..."

Mei Hatsume stepped off the field, a look of satisfaction on her face, while behind her, Tenya Iida knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Damn it, I've been tricked again."

In the next match, Bakugo will face Uraraka.

Bakugo revealed a villainous smile, while small explosions continuously formed in his hands.

"You'd better surrender if you don't want to get hurt, you big-faced guy."
