Victory Conditions Met
"Teacher, what's that behind you?"
As soon as Jilan uttered those words, the Ectoplasm subconsciously turned its head, but quickly sensed something was wrong and stopped itself from turning its head, forcefully turning it back. Its prosthetic limb stepped on Jilan's chest, stopping Jilan Jiyu's attempt to escape once again!
The Ectoplasm calmly replied, "Jilan, such a crude bluffing method won't work on me."
"Teacher, haven't you realized it yet? You've already lost." Jilan turned to look at Asui, and said with a smile, "Have you forgotten that there's more than one of us?"
"Cough cough cough..." Asui coughed incessantly, glistening liquid on her protruding tongue as if she were in great discomfort. "Jilan, we did it."
What does that mean? They're both clearly under my control!
The Ectoplasm realized something and quickly looked at its prosthetic leg, where a water-stained handcuff was firmly fastened to its leg!
"Teacher, do you think I was bluffing just now? I don't know if you've heard this saying before." Ji Jilan broke free from the Gigantification form of the Ectoplasm. This time, the Ectoplasm was still in shock and didn't stop her. Jilan said while pulling on Asui Breeze, "A feint. I seemed to be letting you turn around so you could break free, but actually I was deliberately preventing you from looking behind you and from Asui's bound movements."
"What... is there behind me?" The Ectoplasm were currently several meters in the air, their only foothold being the gigantic Clones he had released. What could be floating behind them?
He suddenly remembered the Hamon Cutter that Jilan had used when fighting his Clones, and instantly realized. "There are bubbles behind me!?"
Asui to clear the odor from his mouth, then continued, "And it was a bubble with handcuffs in it."
Asui turned his head to look at Jilan's profile, feeling a vague sense of surprise. When he and Jilan were swallowed by that abyss's maw, besides wanting to throw Jilan out, he also wanted to take the only winning tool, the handcuffs, from Jilan and swallow them into his own stomach.
Like a frog, her body's physiological functions are not fully developed. When she eats expired food and feels unwell, she cannot vomit; she can only turn her stomach inside out. Asui was just thinking of using this characteristic to create a winning opportunity for her side.
However, when the Asui's tongue coiled around Jilan's waist, it couldn't find the handcuffs, so it had no choice but to try to throw Jilan out of its attack range...
The two were tied Asui not far apart. After Jilan broke free of his restraints for the first time Jilan, he deliberately stretched out his arms. Although it seemed that he was then bound again by the Ectoplasm, Jilan's hand had actually quietly grasped Asui's hand at that moment.
Under Jilan's touch, Asui's face remained expressionless. As if casually glancing upwards, she saw Hamon Bubble containing handcuffs slowly descending from above...
What happened next was simple. The Ectoplasm realized that Jilan's words weren't just meant to make him tense, but also to prepare Asui for an attack. Indeed, he felt Asui's tongue stick out, but because it was far away, he ignored it, focusing all his attention on Jilan Jiyu, who posed a threat to him...
Thus, without realizing it, and while basking in his own self-satisfaction, he had already lost this battle with his students.
"Victory conditions for the Asui and Jilan teams have been met!"
Just then, the principal's voice came over the loudspeaker at the main gate.
As Jilan and Asui slid down the sloping giant towards the exit, the Ectoplasm slowly landed, paused for a moment, and asked, "Jilan- kun, when did you start being wary of me?"
"Just as you are wary of me, teacher, I am also always wary of you." Jilan turned her head and smiled.
Jilan realized this when her first sneak attack failed; the teacher seemed very wary of her and was always on guard against her sudden attack.
Since that's the case, then go along with him and deliberately show some resistance within his considerations, so that he feels that his defenses are farsighted. When he feels a sense of accomplishment, give him some unexpected "surprises".
However, this was actually the most troublesome way that Jilan Jiyu could think of to escape. If they used the Killer Queen, they could instantly shatter the Ectoplasm giant. Even if the opponent placed his prosthetic limb on his body, it wouldn't be difficult to destroy his prosthetic limb with the Silver Hamon Overdrive, rendering him unable to walk, and then leisurely untie the restraints. However, the opponent was, after all, a teacher, so they still had to give him some face and let him think that he had won by taking advantage of his carelessness.
After the battle ended, Jilan and Asui to the monitoring room, where the Recovery Girl was sitting in the only chair, monitoring the battles in the ten arenas.
"Tsuyu-chan, have some water." Jilan handed the Asui a cup of warm water, smiling apologetically. "The smell of soap bubbles isn't very pleasant, is it? Sorry."
Asui took the water glass, drank a few sips, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, I was just suddenly stimulated."
"That's good." After Jilan responded, the two seemed to have nothing more to say and fell silent at the same time.
"Class monitor, Tsuyu-chan, you're back!" Uraraka's delighted voice came from the doorway. "Iida and I were actually the second to finish the battle!?"
Jilan watched the live broadcast of Uraraka and Iida's battle against Thirteen on the big screen. Jilan's fighting style surprised her, and she smiled and said to the two of them, "Uraraka, you did a great job. Iida did his best too."
Thirteen's Quirk is Black Hole; once something is sucked in by his fingers, it will be reduced to a molecular state, making it Quirk that can easily kill someone.
To resist the suction force, Uraraka used her Zero Gravity Quirk on herself and Iida, causing Iida to Jet flames into the air like Astro Boy, while Uraraka clung to Iida, holding onto the motorcycle-like crossbar on his body to prevent herself from being sucked away.
Although Iida was using all his strength, he could only barely maintain a constant straight-line motion. However, as Thirteen approached the Black Hole, the suction force became stronger and stronger. Just as Uraraka 'Iida flame was about to go out, Uraraka made a decision, let go and flew towards him, using the fighting skills she learned from Gunhead to subdue the bulky Thirteen who was wearing a spacesuit!
"Teacher Thirteen is so gentle. If he hadn't suddenly stopped attacking at that moment, I might have been reduced to dust..." Uraraka said with a wry smile. "Teacher Thirteen went easy on us this time, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to win."
"Uraraka, you have nothing to be disappointed about. What I'm about to say might sound a little harsh," Jilan shook his head and paused before continuing, "Although it seems a bit illogical, Quirk like Thirteen's is only suitable for rescue. If used in combat, it's easy to lose control and cause casualties to the enemy. Therefore, when Thirteen pulls an enemy towards him, he has to stop attacking to adhere to the code of Pro Hero. In other words, when you made the decision to let go, your victory was predictable."
Iida walked over, a hint of gloom in his eyes. "Squad leader, do you mean that even if Thirteen risks injury or even death, he shouldn't go all out when facing the enemy?"
"... That's right. This is the limitation imposed by Thirteen's Quirk; he's destined not to use this dangerous Quirk on people." Jilan turned her face away, as if explaining to Iida, yet also as if talking to herself.
"When a Quirk becomes too dangerous, it instills fear in people. Like Android Thirteen's Black Hole Quirk, it can easily kill someone and dispose of the body. Even if it kills someone, no one can get concrete proof. Because of this, whenever there's a missing person case, they become suspects. Even if the police confirm they have no motive, public opinion will still point the finger at them..."
Uraraka smiled, her face somewhat pale, "Jilan, what you're saying is unlikely, isn't it? Thirteen is a beloved Pro Hero, isn't he?"
"Yes, because he's a popular Pro Hero, he wouldn't do something like that." Jilan Jiyu gave Uraraka a gentle smile. "He is... Pro Hero."
