Denki Kaminari's Disappearance

Less than a minute after Izuku Midoriya left, a figure appeared in the distance through the dry, distorted air. A Mask man walked up to Kaminari.

"I originally planned to come out halfway through the match, but I didn't Kaminari you to give me such a big surprise..." The man grabbed Denki Kaminari's clothes and helped him stand up. He turned and walked away.

Kaminari, like a puppet, drool dripping from his mouth, obediently followed the Mask man forward.

"Damn it, come out here!!" Bakugo's roar still echoed around.

The man ignored the still-roaring voices and the shaking of the surrounding buildings, continuing to walk forward until he disappeared around a corner.

"Now, it's time to test you, future heroes..."

Following Kaminari's instructions, Midoriya ran forward, stopping and circling around for a while before finally stopping in front of a collapsed house.

"Help!"

Kaminari was referring to the straight-line distance, and fortunately, Izuku Midoriya had a good sense of direction and quickly found the location he mentioned. According to the rules, once the rescued person stops at a location, they can only stay there. If they wish, they can make noise to reveal their location. Midoriya moved the loose rock and looked down, seeing a green figure.

"Found you, Asui- kun!"

Asui turned her head and saw Midoriya waving excitedly from where the light was coming from. She wasn't surprised, and simply said, "Midoriya- chan, call me Tsuyu-chan."

"As you can see, I'm trapped here." Asui reached out to Midoriya, maintaining a distance of three or four meters, then calmly withdrew her hand. "If you don't rescue me, it won't count as a success, right?"

According to the game rules explained by Teacher Thirteen, discovering the person being rescued is only the first step. As Pro Hero, success is achieved only when the civilian is brought to safety.

Midoriya, of course, knew this too, and couldn't help but retort, "Tsuyu-chan, with your Quirk, you could easily cling to the wall and jump up, or wrap your tongue around something..."

"Midoriya -chan, this is for the plot."

I know... Midoriya looked around, searching for any tools he could use. Since Asui is a civilian without a special Quirk in the story, he needed to find something she could use... But speaking of which, didn't Teacher Thirteen give us any auxiliary tools?

"... Thirteen, didn't you give them the things you left at your feet?" At the edge of the collapsed area, Shota Aizawa, noticing that about eight minutes had passed, couldn't help but ask, "Aren't some of those kids' Quirk unsuitable for this kind of place?"

"Huh?! You didn't give them to them?" Thirteen was startled and took a step back. Only then did he notice a yellow bag at his feet. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sorry, sorry, my clothes are a bit big, I can't see down there. I thought you had already given them the things..."

Amidst Aizawa's silence, Thirteen clapped his hands and forced an explanation. "Actually, there's no need to worry! They're all excellent students; they'll handle this themselves!"

"I hope so..." Aizawa looked up at the sky and said coldly, "Anyway, even if we have the tools, it won't take long."

Midoriya found a rope, tied one end tightly to a nearby stone pillar, and wrapped the other end around his hand. He then climbed down the wall along the cave entrance and stretched his hand downwards.

"Tsuyu-chan, can you catch her?!"

Asui out her hand, and as she grabbed him, Midoriya gritted his teeth and swung his hand upwards sharply. "Hold on tight!"

Midoriya released his hand when it was at its highest point, and while Asui was still somewhat stunned, his body automatically began to spin 360 degrees in the air before landing steadily on all fours.

Seeing that Asui was successfully brought to the ground, Midoriya took a deep breath, stomped his foot on the wall, and used the recoil to pull himself up by the rope and jump out of the hole.

Asui him up and down with the same expression she'd never seen Midoriya before. "Midoriya- chan, when did you start treating girls so roughly...?"

Honestly, Asui was startled. He hadn't expected Midoriya to so recklessly throw him off balance. If it weren't Quirk his "Frog" Quirk, which caused his body to react instinctively, he probably would have landed on his back...

"Ah, I'm so sorry!" Midoriya, just realizing what he had just done, bowed deeply without hesitation. "I'm sorry, Tsuyu-chan, I was just thinking about rescuing you, and I reflexively assumed that Asui- kun would land safely..."

Midoriya was startled by his own actions. He had only thought about pulling the person out, but in his heart, he thought that if it were Asui, he could just throw him out, and his body reflexively did so...

"I'm not angry, and you're actually trusting me by doing this, right?" Asui her head. "If the next time is a real disaster relief scene, Midoriya -chan, you can't do this, okay?"

Midoriya nodded quickly. "Yes!"

Asui continued, "Also, you have to call me Tsuyu-chan."

"Okay, Tsuyu-chan!" Midoriya said, both amused and exasperated.

Midoriya rescued Asui and, remembering the next location Kaminari had told him about, realized there were still about 10 minutes left before the deadline, so he needed to hurry.

"Tsuyu-chan." Midoriya took a few steps forward, then stopped, turned around, and asked, "Do you want to come with me? To rescue the others."

"I'm a survivor, you know?" Asui said, following Midoriya. "But, it's not uncommon for survivors to become rescuers, is it?"

"Yes! Thank you, Tsuyu-chan!"

Just as Midoriya was feeling happy, a somewhat cold voice suddenly rang out throughout the collapsed area via a loudspeaker mounted on the ceiling. "Hello, everyone, can you hear me? Repeat, can you hear me?"

"What's going on? Did Teacher Thirteen and Mr. Aizawa make some last-minute arrangements?"

Midoriya and Asui stopped and listened intently to what this person had to say.

"Hero Course Izuku Midoriya, Class 1- Class A, listen up! I've caught your classmate who can generate electricity. Repeat, the classmate you left all alone on the rock has been caught."

Upon hearing his name and the news of Kaminari's capture, Midoriya exclaimed excitedly, "Who are you!? How do you know our names?!"

Midoriya instantly believed him, because he thought this was a safe area, so he left the irrational Kaminari behind without worry. But now someone he didn't know said he had captured him!

"Are you a remnant of the League of Villains?! How dare you still be here!" Midoriya instantly realized this possibility. Apart from Tomura Shigaraki and Kurogiri, all the other intruders were still here. It was possible that one or two of them hadn't been discovered by the police!

"Oh, not bad, you actually guessed this far?" The other person seemed to have heard what Midoriya said and said with some surprise.

"Kaminari there! Let him go!" Midoriya shouted as he ran back the way he came, trying to find Kaminari.

Soon, Midoriya arrived at the place where they had parted ways. The person who had been sitting there had vanished, leaving only a conspicuous buttock print on the large rock where he had been sitting.

"Oh, you don't believe me?" the man said meaningfully. Soon, Kaminari's screams echoed throughout the entire hall, "Aaaaaah--"

Kaminari really been arrested? Is it all my fault...? Midoriya collapsed to his knees, utterly defeated.
