Lost

"Hey, spiky hair, are you sure we're not in the wrong place?" Katsuki Bakugo said impatiently, hands in his pockets. "We've been out of the hotel for almost half an hour now, and by now even the opening remarks will be over!"

"Hehe, it's our fault for not bringing our phones, now we can't even contact anyone." Eijiro Kirishima chuckled and scratched his head. "I was thinking of meeting up with Midoriya and the others, they should be inside the venue by now."

Eijiro Kirishima and Katsuki Bakugo were both wearing suits and were on their way to the banquet. However, because they were in a bit of a hurry when they left home, they didn't bring their cell phones and were unfamiliar with the area. As a result, they got lost and didn't even know where they were.

"Tsk, Midoriya actually came here too. What right does he have?" Bakugo clicked his tongue in annoyance. He was the champion of the Sports Festival, which is why he received an invitation, but that guy actually has a friend who also has an invitation, like Kirishima, that silly grinner, who shamelessly followed along.

Bakugo recalled their meeting just a few hours earlier, and a shadow of gloom immediately fell over his eyes.

On I-Island, there's a rockery where you test your Quirk abilities. You need to defeat robots in different locations within a time limit; the shorter the time, the higher the score. He originally defeated all the robots in just 15 seconds, far surpassing the second-place finisher and making him the undisputed number one. However, Midoriya suddenly appeared and, despite his taunts, finished the test in 16 seconds!

Even if he's a second slower than me, doesn't that just mean the difference between us is minimal?

Then, Shoto Todoroki joined in the fun, and he surpassed his own record in 14 seconds!

That wasn't all! A huge guy wearing a thick hat on a sweltering day jumped into the test site and took down all the robots in 11 seconds. He not only far surpassed himself and Shoto Todoroki, but also broke the previous record for this test site!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

Bakugo grew increasingly impatient and shouted at Kirishima, who was standing next to him, "Hey, I'm going back. You can go by yourself!"

"No way! We're already here, let's at least show our faces!" Kirishima had finally managed to drag Bakugo out, and naturally didn't want him to go back. He looked around and suddenly saw the elevator floor display screen ahead, its numbers constantly increasing. He turned around and greeted Bakugo enthusiastically, "Bakugo, let's go! Someone's getting on up ahead, let's ask for directions to the venue!"

Bakugo had lost his patience and said he wanted to go back, but he knew he was lost and didn't know the way back. He saw the elevator ahead and didn't say anything more, just followed Kirishima with a sour face.

"60, 61... We're on such a high floor!?" Kirishima arrived at the elevator, startled by the numbers displayed. He pressed the button while awkwardly grinning at Bakugo, "Hehe, looks like we really went the wrong way. I thought the venue was on the ground floor..."

The elevator stopped on their floor when the display showed 80, and the elevator doors slowly opened.

A familiar shout accompanied a fist surrounded by green lightning burst out of the elevator. Bakugo, and his right hand instantly pulled the still-unresponsive Eijiro Kirishima aside. Then, his left hand, which had been in his pocket and was slightly sweaty, met the fist!

"Bang!"

The two fists collided. Although Bakugo reacted quickly, he hadn't charged up his power. Even after activating the sweat in his hand to create an explosion, he was still knocked backward by the impact of the punch. He used the force to jump back a few steps and regain his balance.

The young man with the green, algae-like hair also stumbled back a few steps, but was supported by several hands in the elevator. He didn't retreat, and looking at the man with the afro who was swaying as he stood up, he cried out, "Kacchan!? What are you doing here!"

"Hahaha, hahahahaha!" Katsuki Bakugo revealed a maniacal laugh, laughing hysterically like a psychopath. "You nerd, you've got some nerve, daring to attack me!"

"Hey, Kacchan, no, I didn't...!" Midoriya quickly shook his head, "I just thought there were enemies outside!"

"Enemy? Aren't I your enemy?!" Bakugo leaned forward, hands behind his back, and charged forward with a roar, laughing wildly. "Since you want to fight, perfect! Come on, I'm in a particularly bad mood today!"

"Stop it, this isn't the time to fight."

With a somewhat cold voice, just before Bakugo reached the elevator door, a continuously extending ice spike surged towards him, blocking his path.

Bakugo was forced to use Explosion change direction, rising into the air to the top of the ice spikes. Then, like sliding down a slide, he sat on top of the ice spikes and slid towards the direction where the ice spikes appeared!

Finally, Bakugo stopped at the elevator entrance. He casually sat down with his hands on his knees, looking at the group of people inside with a disgruntled expression, and said, "Ice Face, you're here too. Quite a few people... Round Face, Earphone Girl, Grape Face, Sima Face... and, Jilan Jiyu."

Bakugo's eyes changed instantly when he saw Jilan. He jumped up, grabbed Jilan's tie, and yelled, "You actually came here too! It's really surprising to see you here. I thought you wouldn't participate in this kind of stupid event!"

Everyone's face twitched, especially Tenya Iida's, who said seriously, "Hey, Bakugo, giving people nicknames is a bad habit, and if I heard you correctly, you called me Sima-face, what does that mean!"

"Tch, so annoying! I told you you were refined and easygoing!" Bakugo retorted impatiently, continuing his mockery of Jilan. "I heard the ship you were on sank, haha, how pathetic. I'm here as the champion of the Sports Festival, and you, a survivor of a shipwreck? Are you going to go on stage to thank the I-Island rescue team for their help!?"

Jilan's face twitched as well. "Haven't seen you for a few days, and your sarcastic skills have gotten better. I suspect you're not Bakugo, but Monoma from the next class."

"You mean that foul-mouthed guy, is he here too?"

"No, he's not here." Jilan pushed Bakugo forward, only to have his hands caught by Kirishima had broken through the ice and was walking over. "By the way, you two don't know what happened, do you?"

"What happened?" Kirishima's face lit up with a surprised smile. Controlling Bakugo with one hand, he greeted, "Everyone, what a coincidence! We got lost and were just looking for you. Did you come looking for us because we weren't at the venue? Perfect, let's go to the venue together!"

Midoriya took a few breaths. "Kirishima- kun, it's like this, there's been a terrorist attack, and they've taken control of the venue. We want to use our strength to rescue everyone."

"Terrorists?" Kirishima tilted his head, not quite understanding. "Is that some kind of lame joke?"

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go up in the elevator and talk." Shoto Todoroki glanced at the security camera above and said calmly.
