Rachel lost consciousness for quite a while when she woke up, she heard her friends screaming. It turned out that the toothy villain, who cut off her hand, was defeated by Tokoyami and his Dark Shadow ability.. Along with the other three was Midoriya and Shoji, who helped them calm Dark Shadow.

Takao got up wobbly on her feet and slowly moved towards them. The wound hurt her, but at that moment girl tried not to focus on it.

"Oi! " She called in a weak voice and went out from behind the bushes to her friends. "Ah, Katsuki, I'm glad to see you..." She approached him slowly, but then she fell from strength and would collided with the ground if he hadn't been for Bakugou holding her. "It's good that you're okay..." Looked at him. Boy was frightened to see her wound.

"Oi, Ray...? " He looked at her wound.

"What happened?! " Deku asked.

"The guy with big teeth attacked me..."She hoarsely and, with the help of blond man, sat on the ground. "It's nothing like that... Just a little... Hurts... "

"Wait. " Todoroki knelt beside her. "I'll freeze it for now. " Pointed to the wound.

"Good idea. " She smiled at him, and after a while Shoto used his ability. "Thank you." Nodded.

Later, they began to consult which way would be the safest. They didn't want to encounter villains again, they wanted to somehow bypass further unnecessary skirmishes, in addition, no one wanted the opponents to get what they came here for. Bakugou.

"Oi! Don't decide for me! " Katsuki shouted, when everyone was on the road.

"It should be harder for them to get you. " Takao said walking next to him.

"I don't need anyone's protection! "He snorted.

"I'm aware of that. But I don't want anything to happen to you..." She said a little quieter, but he heard it anyway. "The others are thinking the same, and Kiri is certainly worried. "

"Why are you so worried about this?! " He asked looking at her. "Why are you still panicking whether I die or not?! What do you want from me?! What are you thinking?!"I've already said, I don't need anyone's help! "

"Can't you really understand even that?! " She shouted at him.

"Argue a little quieter..." Shoji shook his head.

"No, I don't understand! "Bakugou didn't pay attention to him. "You still care and worry, what the hell do you... "

"You're my friend, idiot! " She slapped him in the head. "And I care about you!"

"You say that, but you won't admit the truth yourself. " He snorted.

"Huh? " She was a bit surprised.

"Maybe you will finally tell the truth yourself, huh?! It's time to admit it! " They continued to argue. "I have more questions that you have to answer! "

"Go ahead, I'll answer! " Takao replied nervously. "But not now. When it's all over, then... " She broke off at the moment when she felt a slight breeze and rustling.

Teenager quickly turned towards Bakugou, but he was no longer there.

"Huh... " She looked around surprised. "Katsuki?"

"Where is Bakugou? "They heard the voice of Asui and Uraraka, their team came across them.

"The boy you're talking about..." Above them, on one of the thicker branches of the trees, stood another man whom Rachel recognized. It was Mr. Compress. "I took it with my magic. " He said, looking at angry Takao. "It's not a talent that should be wasted. Right? "Continued to look at dark-haired woman. "We'll take him to a stage where he can shine brighter. "
