Each Group's Performance
Although Thirteen never publicly stated that he was under government surveillance, Jilan, based on discussions on the dark web and various unverified rumors online, concluded that some Quirk Pro Hero are summoned by the government, required to have limiters and monitoring devices installed on their combat suits, and to regularly report their situation to relevant agencies...
After the USJ incident, Jilan visited Thirteen in the hospital ward. At that time, he was in a wheelchair and, despite his serious injuries, he still did not take off his combat uniform. Jilan learned from Aizawa that Thirteen was afraid that his students would no longer admire him if they saw his true face.
Based on Thirteen's sitting posture at the time Jilan could deduce that the bulky spacesuit contained a relatively slender body. Logically speaking, that kind of combat suit was completely inconsistent with Thirteen's Quirk. Although it could increase some protection, it prevented him from turning his body and deprived him of the ability to follow the enemy or evade attacks.
Jilan boldly speculated that Thirteen's combat suit was not only meant to assist his Quirk, but also to restrict Quirk. It looked like a combat suit, but was actually a kind of prison uniform.
However, since the person involved is willing, he has nothing to say about it.
Jilan sighed and turned her gaze to the monitor on the large screen.
Yaoyorozu and Todoroki were fighting against Shota Aizawa. Their Quirk played a significant role in their fighting styles. Both Yaoyorozu's Creation and Todoroki's Ice and Fire were strategic abilities. However, when they encountered Mr. Aizawa, who could erase Quirk, it was like two mages encountering an assassin who could silence them—they had met their natural enemy.
The two people in the scene are being relentlessly pursued by Aizawa. Mr. Aizawa leaps and bounds through the streets of low-rise houses like a ninja, occasionally scattering caltrops. And Yaoyorozu...
Jilan raised an eyebrow in surprise; she had a handful of Russia nesting dolls tucked into her waistband. Although the two of them looked quite disheveled from being chased, Jilan noticed their calm expressions, suggesting they already had a counterattack strategy in mind.
Shota Aizawa's eyes were strained during the USJ incident, causing his eye socket to rupture, resulting in shorter activation times and increased skill cooldowns. Yaoyorozu was also present when Jilan visited the two teachers in the hospital, so she was probably aware of Aizawa's weakness. It seems she plans to exploit this aftereffect of Shota Aizawa's condition.
The next moment, when Yaoyorozu felt that she could use her Quirk again, she shouted at Shoto Todoroki. A several-meter-high ice wall instantly appeared, blocking Shota Aizawa's view and buying Yaoyorozu some time. This should be Todoroki's maximum exertion, and even his body was covered with a thick layer of frost.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yaoyorozu created a catapult and a large number of bandages the same color as those on Shota Aizawa's neck. He then created two pieces of pure black cloth to cover himself and the catapult, allowing Shoto Todoroki to hide to the side. Using a pole, he created the illusion that Todoroki and he were both hiding under the cloth.
Next, when two figures hidden in the black cloth appeared in front of Shota Aizawa, he realized that the two had chosen this method to avoid being seen by his eyes. He then decisively jumped in front of the two and threw his bandages at them.
The moment the black cloth was lifted, the Russia nesting doll made by Yaoyorozu was thrown at Aizawa and instantly split open in mid-air, releasing a bright flash of light!
Aizawa couldn't open his eyes. He instinctively jumped behind him. Yaoyorozu cut the rope on the catapult, launching the bandage that resembled Shota Aizawa. It spread out in the air and enveloped Aizawa. Then, a ball of flame appeared from Todoroki's hand and slammed it into the ground below Aizawa, instantly raising the temperature. The bandage, made of shape-memory alloy, instantly contracted, binding him tightly!
Wearing black sunglasses, Yaoyorozu, looking like a gangster, reached behind his back and pulled out handcuffs, cuffing Aizawa's hands, which were Aizawa like caterpillars.
"Yaoyorozu! Victory conditions for the Bombardment Team have been met!"
Tokoyami and Ojiro were fighting against Power Loader, the teacher who piloted a digging machine shaped like WarGreymon. He kept drilling underground, making Tokoyami and Ooshiro hide and gradually reducing their foothold.
When the site was mostly destroyed, the Power Loader was able to roughly estimate the location of Tokoyami and the others, and similarly, his location could also be analyzed.
As he emerged from underground once more, Tokoyami and Ojiro simultaneously landed on the teacher's mecha, their combined attack instantly shattering the mecha's canopy and seizing control of his control panel!
The Power Loader Teacher wasn't the type to engage in direct combat; he was a researcher who preferred studying support equipment. When the machine he was controlling was taken over, he smiled bitterly and chose to surrender, offering his hands.
"Tokoyami and Ojiro's team has achieved their victory conditions!"
Ashido and Kaminari were facing off against Principal Nezu, whose Quirk is High Spec. Nezu has the ability to control his brilliant mind to accomplish anything, even things he doesn't understand, with just a little manipulation. He can be called the strongest brain, and there is only one like him in the entire world.
The principal's testing location was a simulated factory area, the same place where All Might tested his speed a dozen days ago. At this moment, he was manipulating a large iron ball hanging in front of a crane, causing destruction everywhere. It seemed random and without any pattern, but in reality, each of his attacks was leading Ashido and the others away from the gate, and constantly blocking the way to the exit.
Surprisingly, the principal, sitting in the crane, abandoned his refined and amiable appearance, revealing a maniacal smile on his face. He laughed wildly as if he were on drugs, seemingly deriving great pleasure from Ashido and the others, much like a mad scientist teasing a king killer.
Madman... The word came to Jilan's mind. The principal was similar to but different from the rabbit headmaster in terms of madness. The headmaster was a free-spirited madness, while the principal was more like a madness that occasionally showed under years of restraint, with a desire to destroy everything.
The Recovery Girl was also watching the battle, and muttered to herself with some emotion, "Nezu was manipulated by humans in the past. Although he was later rescued, this resentment towards humans is still deeply buried in his heart. Once a trigger is given, his true nature will be revealed..."
Jilan asked with some surprise, "Recovery Girl, if the principal hates humans, why did he become the principal of U.A. High School?"
"No, Jilan, you've misunderstood. Nezu doesn't hate humans; on the contrary, he loves them. But it's precisely because the person he loves did such cruel things to him that he developed this contradictory personality." The Recovery Girl coughed. "However, that's not important. You should focus on watching the other people's battles."
It seemed the Recovery Girl didn't want to answer these questions, so Jilan didn't press further. She quickly glanced at the other groups' performances and roughly estimated that the battle was nearing its end...
Jilan Jiyu looked away from the screen and turned their heads to see Uraraka looking at the screen with worried hands clenched together.
Uraraka was looking at Midoriya and Bakugo's group, and the person they needed to fight was All Might, the Symbol of Peace.
