"It's time for the fifth and final training match," Vlad King announced. "This one's for all the glory. Are you ready? Do your best until the last student's down! Begin!"

    That's right. Both classes have one win and a draw. This match is Mineta, Mina, Ochaco, Midoriya vs. Monoma, Kodai, Shoda, Yanagi, and Shinso. I'm just gonna root for the girls in this one.

    "When you consider Midoriya's team, the distribution of power is comparable to that of the last round." Iida waved his non-bandaged arm, as we watched the screen. Neither of the teams had made contact yet.

    "Yeah, our team did have a similar spread," I admitted. "But they don't have a Kyoka."

    "Yup!" Kyoka leaped into the air. "They're missing a solid scouter."

    "Which means they'll have to move way more carefully than we did, or they could get trapped from the start. It doesn't help that Shinso's in the mix."

    "You're right," the purple haired girl agreed. "If they wanna pinpoint enemy locations and then lure them out like we did, then Midoriya is gonna have to work harder than Bakugo had to."

    Midoriya jumped over the pipes, making his position blatantly obvious. Looks like he's the bait. Just like he probably planned, he was attacked by a floating oil canister, kicking it away easily. He doesn't know where they are, but they know where he is.

    Monoma was the only visible enemy in the camera's line. His mouth was moving, so I could only assume that he was egging the green haired boy on, so he could use Shinso's quirk on him.

Silently, Midoriya released several air bullets, only to be harassed by the poltergeist girl's quirk, who the blonde copied.

In another area of the field were the other three Class A students. They made a web of Mineta's balls around their area in an attempt to scout out intruders. Unfortunately, only possessed metal found them. Although Mina was successful in deflecting the attack with her acid wall, Class B's team now had their location. Yanagi's quirk continued to bounce metal bolts and nuts around the three, forcing them to go on defense.

Actually, the objects that I thought were small pieces of metal were big crates, oil cans, and other debris from the field. That's right, Kodai can change the sizes of nonliving objects. Ochaco was quick to touch all of the larger objects in her sight, making them float. It didn't do too much though, as the dozens of random things crashed into each other. Shoda's quirk, Twin Impact, can create a more powerful, remote impact after an object has already hit something. Wow, those three are very compatible with each other when it comes to their quirks.

My eyes glanced back to the screen where Monoma and Midoriya were fighting. The green haired boy seemed to be in pain, as he clutched his arm. From his hand came black, staticky tendrils. Since when could he do this? I thought that OFA was a power type quirk. All Might surely hadn't used this before. He placed the back of his heel on his right arm, trying to force it down. Wait... he's not in control of it!

The dark tendrils began to grow. I turned back to see All Might, with the same horrified expression. So, not even he knows what's going on. The flashes of black destructively chased after Monoma.

He disappeared after crashing into something, but the tendrils ripped off the roof of whatever building he was in, which led us to find him on the screen again. I turned to look at my classmates, who didn't seem worried at all. Why is everyone acting like this is normal? Why hasn't this match been called off yet? They ascended higher into the sky, before finding the other six of the participants (minus Shinso) and attacking them. It was even attacking its own wielder, hurling him into a wall. All we could see now were debris clouds.
