Chapter 82 - CH 61: THE POWER OF THE RECOMMENDED STUDENTS

The students in the control room looked in awe at the damage made by the power of two students like them. Anyone else in their place would begin to feel inferior and doubt themselves. But, they? They were the cream of the top. The ones who succeeded where everyone else failed.

They might be awed and respectful of the strength of Izuku and Katsuki, but they would never fear nor look down on themselves. At least, this wasn't enough for them to feel inferior.

All Might began to speak as he observed the expression of his students.

"This fight was extremely beautiful. But the MVP are Uraraka and Tenya. Who can explain to me why?"

It was Momo who raised her hand to answer.

"I think that it's because they were the most adapted to the concept of the training."

"Oh?! Go on shojo."

"YES! I said this because the two of them acted as they should have acted and did their best for the respective mission. Tenya perfectly played the villain and protected the bomb, while Uraraka used her power to help Midoriya and was crucial in neutralizing Tenya."

"Not bad, what about Midoriya-shonen and Bakugo-shonen?"

"As you said, the two of them had a very beautiful fight. But this isn't a tournament. As either a villain or hero. The biggest of their mistakes was the use of large-scale attacks indoors. They could have killed themselves if they weren't careful. What more, if it was a real bomb the damage they ditched would have made it explode without a doubt."

"Bakugo failed because he acted based on a personal grudge while midoriya failed because he forgot to take the bomb into account in his plan."

"OHHHHH!!"

*CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP!*

All the students applauded at this explanation. Momo blushed a little at this before saying that she finished her observations.

"PERFECT!! Now, let's use another building for the next match. TEAM B vs TEAM I"

"Good luck Toru-chan."

"Good luck Toru."

"Thank you, Mina, Kuroha. Now let's go!!"

A few minutes later,

"*Sniff!* *Sniff!*"

A sad? Toru could be seen? Drawing circles on the floor.

"Well...Don't beat yourself over it. This guy is a true monster."

Sadly for Toru, her match ended as soon as it commenced. Todoroki's quirk: [HALF COLD HALF HOT] seemed to be a high level of ice manipulation. He used it to freeze the entire building in one go and took the bomb with absolutely no difficulty.

Kuroha sighed as well, he must recognize that this ice quirk was really dangerous for his blood. Endeavor really trained his child well, even if he had to traumatize him for this.

The next match didn't pique Kuroha's attention, as such, he didn't care about it. He began to walk toward where Momo stood with her eyes closed.

"The next match after this one is yours. What do you think? Which mode will you use?"

Yes, modes. After all those years, Kuroha wasn't the only one to have grown. Momo was at a totally different level. Frankly, if given enough time and resources, even Kuroha wasn't sure to be able to win against her.

Momo opened her eyes.

"My teammate is a close-ranged fighter while my two adversaries are mid-ranged one. As such, I will use…"

---

Momo, now alone with her teammates in the bomb room waited for the start of the match. She began revising the information she had on her two adversaries.

[START!]

The moment the start was given, she put herself in a corner where the camera couldn't take her and opened her clothes. She wasn't as shy as she had been in the past, but she would rather hide as much as possible. Her skin began to shine as she created two cloaks as well as two pairs of shoes.

"Sato-san, take this. This should protect you against the lightning."

Afterward, without waiting for his answer, she began to focus once more, before creating a little pad that played a high pitched sound.

The sound was so high that humans couldn't even perceive it. But for someone with a quirk specialized in echolocation, this should be like listening to heavy metal at full power with a headset.

Now that she was sure that she countered them, she began phase two of her plan.

"Sato-san, please stay here and play the role of the guardian. If they manage to pass through me, the protection of the bomb will repose on your shoulder. Also, no matter what, do not open the door."

Once again, she didn't wait for him to answer before leaving him in the room alone. Her way of acting seemed like Bakugo, but this was different. She wasn't rushing headfirst into a fight. All her actions were measured. As long as nothing weird happened, she wouldn't even need Sato help.

Once she got out of the room, she carefully closed the door, before installing a little something on it. It was a mini bomb. The explosion wasn't lethal. It was just enough to ruffle them slightly.

"Now, let's begin. HUNTER MODE: Capture."

This wasn't a game. it wasn't like modes really changed anything. It was just a name Minegata came up to describe her different way of fighting, and it stuck.

The hunter mode was perfect for such an indoor situation. It didn't really on her fighting prowess but on a thorough understanding of the prey as well as a series of traps set in order to immobilize or outright kill the prey.

For the next few minutes, she busied herself by placing different mines, explosives, stun, and so and so on. At least, she added her finisher.

After finishing, she carefully traced her way back to the room before stopping one-floor below. She didn't even need to search for them.

BOOM!!!

An explosion sounded in the building and she let out a smile.

"Well, this didn't take long."

BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

This was followed by a series of explosions. She didn't find it weird. Her bombs weren't particularly powerful. They should be able to go through them without much damage. After a while though, they will lose their caution, and then,

BOOM!!!

[TEAM C WINNER]

She let out another smile before taking a more serious expression. Seems like some of her preparations were overkill. She needed to be careful about how she used her resources.

---

The control room was filled with silence as they watched the feed. This was a pure massacre. Team G was led by the nose from the very beginning. The worst was without a doubt the last trap.

Sleeping gas!!!

They basically stood no chance from the start. No, fighting in a building could have been said to be a form of bullying. This was then followed by a series of murmur

Kuroha simply smiled as he listened to the murmur of awe.

"Crazy!"

"Who would have thought that she was that strong!"

"Is it even allowed?"

"Are all recommended students so strong?"

He wasn't surprised by the result. Momo always had a very high potential but under Malicia tutelage? She learned a large number of devious tricks. Because of her quirk, [GLUTTONY], Malicia has always been interested in different decoctions.

During Momo's last birthday, Malicia gave her an encyclopedia that gave the composition of a myriad of drugs and poisons. One could even call Momo a super witch or an Alchemist. Yeah, an alchemist sounded way cooler. What's more, Sebastian, an ex-ranger, gave her all his knowledge about hot weapons.

Only one word could describe the current momo: BADASS. Right now, her only weakness is the time necessary to make her preparations as well as the amount of fat necessary.

Once Momo came back with her teammate, silence descended once again in the room. She didn't really care about it as she went towards Kuroha before high fiving him.

"Good job. Seems like I'm next… Let's give it our all Mina." Continued Kuroha after turning toward Mina,

"*Gulp* ahaha, seems like we are in for a spanking."

Kuroha didn't answer and simply went away toward the bomb room. Mina didn't understand how much an understatement her sentence was.

----

The students were watching the feed after the display of power from Momo and Shoto, they were seriously wondering just how much a monster the number one was.

The result? They got the chill as they watched how his swords soundlessly appeared behind them and stopped out just in front of the throat of the two.

This wasn't even a fight, he just completely absolutely destroyed them without even giving them a chance to fight back.

This match. broke all the records of UA as the shortest fight ever.

What exactly happened?

(AN: Wait tomorrow for the answer. Lol)
