The first match, A Team vs. D Team, had begun.
As the Villains, Bakugo and Iida had to either protect the nuclear weapon in the building for fifteen minutes or subdue the Heroes to win.
On the other hand, the Heroes, Midoriya and Uraraka, would win if they entered the building, wrapped up the Villain team with the capture tape to immobilize them, or took the nuclear weapon away from the Villains. If there was an advantage, it would probably belong to the Villain team, since they could wait inside the building and quickly get a feel for the layout.
And once the match started, Bakugo was strangely fixated on Midoriya, picking fights with him.
Midoriya was handling Bakugo more calmly, but if this dragged on, he would probably be at a disadvantage. On the other side, Uraraka was making so much noise because Iida, who was completely overinvested in the role, was hilarious that her position had been exposed, while only Iida seemed to be adapting to the situation and carrying out his role properly.
'If anything stands out, it's Bakugo, huh?'
Bakugo's Quirk was a very good one, in my opinion.
And he himself had more raw talent than Midoriya.
But I couldn't tell what made him lose his composure. While I was thinking about that for a moment, the match reached its conclusion.
In the end, the Hero team secured the nuclear weapon and won, but Midoriya had used his Quirk and ended up with severe bruising on his right arm and burns on his left arm from blocking Bakugo's attack.
Uraraka was suffering from motion sickness as a side effect of her Quirk and vomiting, while Iida was rubbing her back to make it easier for her to throw up.
'It feels like a victory won only because this wasn't the real thing.'

"This time, the MVP is Iida boy!! Anyone who knows him, raise your hand!"
"Yes. Bakugo acted on personal feelings and went off on his own, which made communication break down. Midoriya was the same for similar reasons. Uraraka couldn't adapt to the situation, and her final attack was reckless. On the other hand, Iida adapted to the situation best, and the Hero team's victory was a kind of unfair win gained because this was only 'training.'"
"Hmm... Iida boy has his stiff side too, but well... that's correct... khh..."
In response to All Might's question, a woman on the same team answered.
'If I remember right, her name was Yaoyorozu?'
While I was trying to recall her name, they were drawing the next match-up. The result was
C Team (Villains) Yaoyorozu Mineta Sorano
vs
J Team (Heroes) Kirishima Sero
______________________________________
Our Villain team had finished setting up the nuclear weapon and was about to make a plan.
"Before we make a plan, I think it would be efficient to know what Quirks each of us has. I'm Yaoyorozu Momo. My Quirk is [Creation]. I can make anything except organic matter. And if I want to create something large, it takes time."
The woman who had spoken earlier, Yaoyorozu, suggested introducing our abilities and explained her own Quirk.
"I'm Mineta Minoru. My Quirk is [Pop Off]. Once they stick, they won't come off, and if I touch them, they just bounce off. And when I'm in good condition, they won't come off all day."
The short, grape-like Mineta explained his Quirk and sent a glance toward Yaoyorozu. For some reason, his gaze seemed lewd, and Yaoyorozu ignored it with effort before asking me a question.
"Um, you're Sorano, right? What's your Quirk?"
"I'm Sorano Taka. I don't have a Quirk."
"Huh?/Eh?"
"I can handle weapons to a certain extent, and I'm confident in infiltration. I specialize in close combat and am not used to long-range fighting."
I ignored their reactions and continued explaining myself. When I finished, an awkward silence hung in the air, and the one who broke it was Mineta.
"What are we supposed to do?!! He's useless!! Kirishima looks super strong!! I was relieved because he was the top scorer in the entrance exam, but he's Quirkless!!"
"Mineta!! That's rude!!"
I was used to it, so I didn't care, but Yaoyorozu was trying to stop Mineta and saying his words were rude. I stopped the two of them and tried to change the subject by saying I had a plan.
"Calm down, both of you. Even if I'm Quirkless, I'll do my best. More than that, I have a plan. Would you please help me?"

Side: Kirishima Eijiro
We infiltrated the building where the Villain team was as soon as the starting signal sounded.
'The ones we need to watch out for first are Yaoyorozu and Sorano, right?'
I had seen Yaoyorozu's Quirk during the Quirk assessment test. A Quirk that could create anything she wanted was definitely dangerous, but the real problem was Sorano.
He hadn't used his Quirk in the test, so he was an unknown. That made him the one we needed to be most careful about.
Thinking that, I kept walking for a while.
Tap, tap
At the sound of footsteps other than ours, I stopped running and stood back-to-back with Sero, staying on guard.
I couldn't tell exactly where they were coming from, and I couldn't see anyone, but there was someone other than us. At that thought, sweat ran down my back, and I had the illusion that one second had become one minute, and one minute had become one hour. I wiped the sweat from my arm. And I didn't know it then. That it was a fatal 'mistake'...
"Hey, Sero? Did you find something?"
.....
"...Sero?"
When I turned around, Sero, who should have been behind me, was gone.
"Hey!! Sero!! Where are you? Answer me!!"
Sero had disappeared, and I was left alone. I called out for him, but all that came back was silence.
'The Villain team? Where are they? When did they ambush us?'
Thinking that, I looked around and searched for a long time before finally finding Sero. His legs were over by a pillar in the distance.
"Sero!!"
I hurried over, calling his name, and checked his condition. He had lost consciousness and was unconscious. Just as I was feeling relieved and about to wake him up...
"Hey."
At the low voice calling to me, I turned around in surprise, but as if expecting it, a powerful kick slammed into my stomach.
"Ghk!"
I clutched my stomach and dropped to my knees. Barely lifting my head, I could see the opponent in front of me. They wore a white robe? and had weapons strapped all over their body. And because they had pulled the hood low, I couldn't see their face, but I could vaguely tell who it was.
"Sora...no?"
Sorano, standing before me, was staring straight at me with golden eyes shining from within the shadow of his hood. Like the eyes of a hawk spotting its prey just before the hunt begins...
