Chapter 5 - The Hero Challenge (Pt 2)

When the horn sounds, signalling to begin, I take my time to think of where the best entrance would be. No doubt they hid the weapon somewhere in the middle of the building, and they are probably still in the room with it, waiting for me to make the first move. If I were the villain, I'd hide the weapon on the 6th floor. Therefore it would be still in the middle, but most people wouldn't have the quirk to allow them to attack from above, so there would be quite a few stairs they would have to climb. I can use my quirk to energy blast myself up into the air, through one of the windows. However, I'd have to break it first, and that would create a loud noise that would alert them of my whereabouts.

Just when I consider simply walking in through the front door and fighting my way up, I get an idea. I focus all the energy I can muster without tiring myself out into my feet.

Class 1-A POV

"Shouldn't she be attacking by now," says Kaminari. "She's gonna run out of time."

"I agree, especially since she's all alone, she'll need to make up some time by going as quick as possible," says Iida.

"I think you guys are mistaken," says Yaoyorozu. " She's playing it smart, finding the best entrance that will give her the best chance. I think you have all forgotten she has something not all of you have, the ability to 'fly'."

"Hang on a sec, is she glowing???" Asks Kirishima.

If not everyone was watching Y/N before, they all certainly have eyes on her now. She have a glowing aura like cloud surrounding her, and it's dark blue. 

"She must be focusing all her energy on herself right now," observes Iida.

"But why?" Asks Ochaco.

 Todoroki POV

"It's been about two minutes, and I haven't seen any sign of her," I say into my earpiece.

"Same here," Shoji responds.

I'm starting to get a bit concerned about what she's doing. Neither of us have seen or heard her yet, and I'm worried she somehow slipped past us to get to the weapon. However, the game hasn't been called off, so I don't think she's that close yet. The two of us split up. We placed the weapon on the 5th floor, and Shoji took the bottom half, while I took the top. 

"Don't let your guard down, she's smart and quick, and she'll beat both of us if we don't give it our all," I say.

"Got it," Shoji responds.

I have to say I'm thankful there's only one person we have to worry about, especially since it's Y/N. I can only imagine how much we would struggle if she had someone to help her out. I pause to think about what she may be thinking about right now, when all of a sudden.

"SMASH!"

I'm forced to cover my ears as all the windows around me, and I assume all the windows in the building, smash to pieces. She's finally made her move.

Y/N POV

As I wait here gathering all the energy necessary to execute my plan, I try to figure out the whereabouts of my enemies. It's been about five minutes, and I know I'm wasting time. I know I need to make my move quick, but I'm still waiting for the right moment.

That's when I see it. A long outstretched arm with different body parts sticking out of it. Shoji. He's on the third floor. I doubt they decided to stick together, so with a stomp of my foot, I release all the energy I had been maintaining at the building in front of me.
