BNHA: Martial Arts God

CHAPTER 67

The moment the game began, as expected, every team other than them started targeting Midoriya's team. Looking at every team along with their headbands, Gohru starts mentally calculating the number of points that they must take to at least get 4th.

The time limit was tighter than the anime's, 5 minutes only, meaning the fights are going to be as chaotic as an average day in Ohio.

They currently have 160 points total, and the average team was in the 400 to 500s. Calculating the potential targets, they could amass a minimum of about 700 points. From his vague memory, the teams that reached the finals were Midoriya's, Bakugo's, Todoroki's, and Shinso's.

The reason why he only picked Denji was obvious now; they had two more open slots for the finals, meaning if Shinso's team got 5th, then he would be in the finals too. That was his plan all along, but there were ways to screw this up.

Snapping out of it, he watches as Tokoyami activates Hatsume's support item, making the team fly away from one of the 1-B class' Quirks.

That was when his eyes widened. Dark Shadow suddenly appeared behind Tokoyami and wrapped around him, causing them to float midair. That was one of Tokoyami's Ultimate Moves, but this early in the plot?

"Nice! It worked!"

He heard Midoriya exclaim as he suddenly knew how Tokoyami even used his ultimate move, the Black Fallen Angel. Midoriya had theorized Dark Shadow's flight ability and told Tokoyami about it.

But from the looks of it, it was just gliding, and the fact that they almost fell for a second meant that it was not perfected yet, but still, canon was changing ever so slightly.

With Black Fallen Angel and Hatsume's jetpack, they basically don't need to drop, so that meant that the only range attacks would only hit them —

"DIE!!!"

Bakugo came out of nowhere with tape covering his stomach as he soared towards Midoriya's team.

SHRRRKKKKKKK!!!

Not only that, a pillar of ice shot up to the sky towards them as well. Todoroki had started his attack using his Quirk, attempting to hit them with it.

"Tokoyami!"

Ochako yelled out in panic as Tokoyami noticed the incoming ice attack.

"Dark Shadow!"

"Yes sir!"

Using its arms, it flapped as they dodged to the side; the ice barely hit them as Midoriya, with Zero Gravity, moved in between his team and Bakugo. Channeling his new control with One for All, he cocked his hand back as Bakugo's eyes widened at his new ability, focusing on the flow of the Quirk in his body.

'Let it flow smoothly, with an output of 100% from the core and a constant 3% Full Cowl on all body parts! Don't lose control, don't lose control, don't lose control, DON'T LOSE CONTROL!'

"DETROIT SMASHHHHHH!!!"

With all his strength, he yelled out as he swung, causing wind pressure to surge out and push Bakugo away.

"Deku!"

He roared out in anger as he fell from his place, not before using his Explosions to control his flight, but before he could blast up to Midoriya again, the tape that was wrapped around him got tugged as he felt himself getting reeled back.

"Bakugo! We have to target others! You can't take them midair! We have to get points!"

Sero advised as Bakugo turned back to argue.
