21 Chapter 21

After observing Shoto's group for a few moments, Bakugo turned to Jiro.

"How come you haven't noticed?"

Her question was natural and did not contain a trace of malice or provocation, Jiro's role in the team was crucial, she had to guide the group in the smoke to avoid the other teams while communicating their positions, and finally she had to spot Bakugo in the fog during his excursion alone.

The girl turned to Bakugo "I-I don't know… A moment ago they were far away and suddenly they appeared here, I don't know how they did it!"

Bakugo frowned before looking at Team Shoto. 'That doesn't make sense, how could they escape Jiro's watch?'

Suddenly Bakugo's eyes widened in understanding, a small laugh escaped his mouth.

"It's ok guys, everything is fine, we can attack them without risk!"

Kirishima in front of him nodded.

"Yes I understood too, if they were able to move so fast it was thanks to Iida but look at him, this acceleration was clearly a secret trick! I think he can't use his power anymore for the next few minutes."

The three fell silent after Kirishima's words, the latter turned around tilting his head.

"What did I do wrong?"

Bakugo shook his head from side to side "No no, I just didn't expect you of everyone to notice…"

Jiro also nodded and Tsuyu replied with a Croa in agreement.

Kirishima gritted his teeth, veins appeared on his forehead "How do you seriously imagine me"

Bakugo stifled a small laugh before smiling, "Never mind! Go horse riding!"

Bakugo's group headed towards Shoto and his group.

"Denki!" Shoto turned to Denki and called out to him, the latter understood his intention and nodded ready to use his power.

However Bakugo acts first. "Armour-piercing shot!"

His blast headed straight for Denki, forcing the blond to cancel his attack to dodge.

"Tch! You won't get me like this!"

When the distance between the two teams was close to 4 meters, Bakugo jumped off his horse and propelled himself into the sky drawing the attention of Shoto's group.

Shoto quickly retaliated by hurling a block of ice at Bakugo, but Bakugo created an explosion sufficient to stop the ice.

For the next few seconds, the shock of a dozen explosions and blocks of ice echoed through the arena, drawing the gaze of other groups and spectators.

"What a show! While the Todoroki team has maintained a solid second place since the start of the event, they are engaged in an epic duel with the Bakugo team in the last minutes of competition!

While Shoto was fully focused on Bakugo, he didn't notice the earlobe that discreetly ripped off one of the headbands around his forehead.

Tenya on the other hand noticed it although belatedly, "Shoto! They stole a blindfold from us!!"

Shoto blinked in surprise, luckily for them it was only a 105 point blindfold, wasting no time he look at the explosive blonde in the sky, the latter smirking at Shoto's surprised gaze.

'Damn, this time he manipulated me like a child again!' Shoto gritted his teeth and glared at Bakugo.

In the sky, Bakugo wanted to burst out laughing but before he started laughing, he suddenly leaned his body in a strange position, narrowly avoiding a shadowy hand that was heading towards his 10 million point headband.

Turning his gaze to the owner of the hand, he saw Izuku's group, this time Izuku retained the 3rd best team position with several headbands tied around his forehead.

Suddenly a strange tape wrapped around Bakugo's hand but quickly Bakugo blasted it, wasting no time shouting "Tsuyu now!!"

However before he finishes his sentence, the girl's tongue wraps around his waist pulling him quickly towards his group.

Upon landing, Kirishima raised his voice.

"Shit Bakugo, that was really cool what you did in the air, you looked like that new New York hero, Spider-man I think!"

Bakugo ignored Kirishima's comment and removed the remains of tape around his arm, Finally his gaze turned to Mezo, on his back were Mineta and Sero, the owner of the tape.

Bakugo chuckled, seeing Mezo's group quickly fled, apparently they were out of blindfolds, everyone's surprise attack earlier was a gamble that didn't pay off.

Finally, the three teams faced each other, Izuku and Shoto's gaze was fixed on bakugo, finally in reality it was fixed on his headband.

Bakugo chuckled, he felt the fatigue of his last movements in every muscle in his body, however ignoring the fatigue and cracking a joke.

"It's a class reunion, right?"

Izuku swallowed hard, apparently seeing Bakugo so confident in this situation was intimidating, after all although he was the target of all the students, his team managed to steal 3 headbands during the test, this simple fact was already extraordinary.

Bakugo on his side whispered to his team "Are you guys ready?"

Kirishima nodded and the two girls did the same a few moments later.

The tension between the three teams was at its height and without any signal, the three rushed at the same time preparing for the confrontation.

Bakugo noticed small green lightning dancing around Izuku's arm and flames rising from Shoto's left side. Eyes widening at the sight, Bakugo smiled and small explosions sounded in the palm of his hands.

As the three went to meet under the screams of the public, the cries of Present Mic echoed in the field.

"TIIIIIME UUUUPPPPP!!!!"
