Electrostatic Induction

The teams have been formed. Izuku Midoriya, Ochaco Uraraka, Momo Yaoyorozu Minoru Mineta, Denki Kaminari, Denki Kaminari, Katsuki Bakugo, Tenya Iida, Hanta Sero, and Yuga Aoyama are the search and rescue team, while the remaining nine are the people being rescued.

"Damn it, I have to be grouped with you, Deku!" Bakugo angrily, unable to accept the pairing.

Standing behind him, Kirishima said helplessly, "Bakugo, this is your own position, isn't it? I just told you to switch places, but you didn't want to..."

"I'm not going to be a hider!" Bakugo, arms crossed, looking completely nonchalant. "Someone as strong as me, how could I possibly be saved by someone else!"

"Is that so?" Mina Ashido nudged Mashirao Ojiro's clothes and whispered, "But I heard that Bakugo was saved by All Might during the Sludge Incident..."

"Hey, you pink-haired guy, what are you saying?!" Although Ashido very softly, Bakugo still heard her and blushed as he explained, "That's All Might! All Might's business, how can that be considered saving someone?! It's aid, yes, it's aid!"

"Bakugo was amazing back then..." Asui calmly, resting his chin on his hand. "When the Pro Hero were all helpless, he held out for several minutes. Most people couldn't do that."

"Y-that's for sure!!" Bakugo laughed, hands on his hips. "I'm the one who's going to defeat All Might and become number one in the future!"

"Um, Kacchan..." The person who was hiding had already left, and the search and rescue team needed to wait five minutes before they could move in. Midoriya walked towards Bakugo, "Let's discuss the search and rescue plan. There are nine of us in total, so we can split into three groups..."

"Deku, is this your plan? It's absolutely awful!" Bakugo rudely interrupted him. "This area is several kilometers in diameter! Do you really think we can search it all by splitting it into three groups?!"

"Two people per team, understand? You two Search in the four cardinal directions!" Bakugo shouted to those around him, turning around. "I'll be the mobile team, searching from the air!"

Without waiting for anyone else to reply, upon hearing Teacher Thirteen shout "Search and rescue team, move out!", Bakugo spontaneously unleashed an explosion from his palm, sending him flying onto a rooftop.

"... Bakugo makes a good point." Yaoyorozu made the decision. "Let's proceed according to his plan."

"Midoriya, to be honest, I think our search is completely at a disadvantage." Denki Kaminari his head in his hands, pulling the antenna of his wireless earpiece on his right ear to its maximum, standing behind Midoriya watching him carefully Search. "Although we're told we can't move once we've chosen a hiding spot, there are so many good hiding places around here, aren't there?"

"Kaminari- kun, after all, we strive to become Pro Hero," Izuku Midoriya replied earnestly as he turned over a large rock. "During an earthquake, people can be trapped anywhere. We need to search every nook and cranny. Even the slightest oversight on our part could cost a life."

"While that makes sense, isn't it problematic to seek justification within the context of a game?"

"Kaminari- kun..." Midoriya was about to retort when suddenly the ground nearby began to Vibrate, and the surrounding pebbles began to move actively.

"Where are you hiding? Come out right now!!"

Bakugo used the recoil to fly through the air, and the explosions he released caused the already cracked houses around him to begin to crack again, and one blast after another made the rocks jump even higher.

Seeing Bakugo fly past him, Midoriya turned around in surprise to look at his retreating figure. "That's Kacchan! What's he doing?!"

"See? It seems like you're the only one here seriously following the rules." Kaminari shrugged. "Bakugo craves victory, he doesn't care about breaking the rules."

"That's not right, everyone's enjoying the game!"

"Midoriya, I'm sorry." Kaminari one knee, a confident smile on his face. "My motto is—playing games is all about winning!"

Kaminari pressed his right hand to the ground, releasing electricity in that instant. The dispersed electricity rushed in all directions, eventually encompassing a large portion of the collapsed site with Kaminari at its center!

Midoriya suddenly felt a numbness in his body, and his heart skipped a beat. He clutched his chest and asked in surprise, "Kaminari- kun, what's wrong...?"

Kaminari lowered his head, speaking in a reassuring voice, "Midoriya, you should know about static electricity, right? Everyone carries static electricity. In extremely dry environments, static electricity accumulates continuously, and it's generally harmless. But as soon as it comes into contact with another person or another type of charge, a potential difference is created upon contact. At the moment of separation, it suddenly explodes, and the body is affected by the static electricity, causing various changes..."

He pointed with his free finger to the earphone with its antenna spread high on his ear. "What I just emitted was a low-voltage current, and my specially made earphone can receive this signal, allowing me to pinpoint the target's location in an instant. This is the ability I developed— Electrostatic Induction!"

As he spoke, Kaminari stood up smartly. "Midoriya, there's someone in the underground about 100 meters to the southeast and in a house about 50 meters to the east."

"Kaminari- kun, that's amazing!" Midoriya admired Denki Kaminari for coming up with this method in such a short time; his ability to react on the spot was incredible!

Denki Kaminari chuckled smugly, "Haha, of course! During the previous attack, because I couldn't connect to the outside world, I went back and learned my lesson. I crammed on electrical knowledge and discovered this way of using my Quirk. Plus, I don't overuse electricity at all. I'm much more powerful than Bakugo, who just randomly Bakugo everything!"

He chuckled smugly as he reached up and ran his hand through his hair. Suddenly, his hand froze, cold sweat beading on his face. "Oh no, I forgot my hair also has static electricity..."

The next second, Kaminari so cool in front of Midoriya just moments before, suddenly lost focus, lowered his hands and unconsciously made a thumbs-up gesture in a mechanical loop, drooling from the corner of his mouth, looking like a mentally challenged child.

Midoriya's lips twitched, unsure what expression to make. "I remember Kaminari- kun turning into this completely harmless form whenever his brain short-circuits, right..."

It was obvious that Kaminari his hands, leaving a large amount of residual charge. His hair, in this environment, had accumulated a lot of static electricity, just like the way he tracked people. When his palm touched his hair, the final result was—brain freeze.

"Go, Midoriya!" Kaminari's raised thumb seemed to convey this meaning. "According to my latest information, let's secure a beautiful first victory!"

"Kaminari- kun!!" Midoriya nodded vigorously at him, took off his school uniform jacket to cover his hands to avoid catching the static electricity from him, and helped him sit on the large rock that Midoriya had just overturned. "I will definitely not let your sacrifice go to waste!"

The boy, tears streaming down his face, headed towards the glimmer of hope he had just glimpsed... Behind him stood a human statue giving a thumbs-up.
