Chapter 60 Unanimous Leader

Kuroe clenched her fists in frustration as she apologized many times in her head. Her eyes darted sideways before she finally addressed Satoshi who was already slightly losing his wits since they were driven into a corner. Here they were, trying to avoid every possible engagement with other groups, and just when Kuroe's mind reached its limit and she took a break, they were ambushed.

Either the entire scenario was due to another superhero with a psychic superpower or it was just a coincidence that luck was not on their side this time. Whatever the case may be, they were already in that circumstance and there was nothing they could do but try to escape or fight against everyone.

"I'm sorry," Kuroe clicked her tongue after saying that as it left a bitter taste in her mouth. She didn't know how to explain to Satoshi that she'd already reached her limit but she was too embarrassed to admit such a thing. After all, what use does she have if she couldn't even use her superpower right at that moment?

Meanwhile, Satoshi's gears were already turning together in his head while he planned their escape. He didn't want to fight anyone but then again, there are three groups of first years surrounding them. It was inevitable that they have to engage one or all of them in combat. "Don't worry about it. It's not your fault." Satoshi muttered, patting Kuroe on the back. "You've done well up til now. We just need to survive here and then we can wait until the time runs out. Either way, we're safe when the map shrinks again."

"Yeah, don't sweat it out Kuroe, try to recover some energy while we handle these things. It's our turn to do the heavy lifting." Shiroi said.

Sumire, who didn't speak too much during their entire time together, meekly walked towards Satoshi with a resolute expression on her face. There were no hints of nervousness in her body language even when they were outnumbered. After all, she was confident about her superpower today, and not only that, she's also confident that Satoshi could easily get them out of their ordeal.

"I can take care of the third group with Shiroi. If you can take on the two groups and bid some time, we'll be able to take care of all of them." Sumire told Satoshi in a serious tone. Based on her tone, Satoshi could easily tell that she wasn't playing around. After all, she even set aside her shyness since the situation spoke for itself.

Even though Sumire was perfectly aware that Satoshi could easily take on all three of them, she decided to volunteer in order to ease his burden even if it's just a little bit. Besides, they needed Satoshi to conserve as much energy as he could because no one knows what would happen next in the entire free-for-all match.

"So this is how it is, huh. I didn't think that the number one class of the first years would be this stupid. I'm Kobayashi Siril (Cyril), the class representative of Class 3-4. And I know you're Midoriyama Satoshi, the class rep of Class 3-1. Introductions aside, why aren't your class together? And here I was, thinking that it would be quite hard to fight against your class if you were together."

On his signal, a bright yellow light appeared out of nowhere and surprised everyone in Satoshi's group. It was none other than the rumored first-year who calls himself Flashbang because that's his superpower. No one knows how he does it but he's certainly good at his timing. Even if his superpower is a simple one, he could still utilize it like an expert, which granted him a pass to the school.

In an instant, everyone in Satoshi's group flinched and covered their eyes. The only one who wasn't fazed was Hiroshi as he caused the ground to break and controlled it with his will. As everyone from Class 3-4's footing became unsteady, Hiroshi shot up to the sky by causing the earth to properly him upward and he started shooting fireballs at the three groups. "Satoshi! What are you doing?! Get your backside up here and help me cover everyone!"

"You- you don't have to tell me." Satoshi granted as he charged at Siril and grabbed him by the neck, but just before he could punch him straight in the face, an invisible wall suddenly appeared right where Siril's face was and Satoshi punched it, causing him to stagger backward. "Nice cover, Shielder!"

Then, someone from behind them summoned a huge vine that cruelly wrapped Satoshi and constricted his movement. He wriggled but he couldn't get out of the vine. Capture complete!

However, just when everyone in Class 3-4 was about to relax, the other group who was about to join in on the fray suddenly froze on their feet. "You're not going anywhere," Sumire said as her yellow eyes glowed a tad brighter than they used to. She was activating her status effect of paralysis but there were just too many people in the other group, making her feel nauseated. She covered her mouth as puke almost escape from it. "Shiroi! Help Satoshi get out of the vine. Hiroshi, continue to provide cover!"

"NO! WE GO ACCORDING TO PLAN!" Satoshi screamed, making everyone pause for a split second before nodding towards him. This was the first time Satoshi shouted an order with such intensity that they were momentarily shocked. Needless to say, all of them unanimously accepted Satoshi to be their leader so they didn't question his judgment.

After nodding towards Satoshi, everyone in the group nodded at each other. Without saying another word, Shiroi summoned her ice superpower and started immobilizing the first group while they were under the paralysis effect. Just when Sumire gave out and started puking what she had for breakfast, Shiroi already trapped the entire group in an ice prison that continuously hardened, making it almost impossible for them to escape. Meanwhile, Hiroshi continued to engage with the other group who was shooting metal spikes on him non-stop. Some of them were able to injure him but he didn't stop firing fireballs towards them and restricting their movement with an earthquake.

"It's time," Satoshi's eyes glinted as a smile formed on his face.
