Bab 97: Chapter 97: Midoriya’s Team vs. Mirio
As the final battle approaches, Midoriya's team is preparing for their practical exam. This time, Midoriya Izuku and Shinso Hitoshi have teamed up, and their opponent is Togata Mirio, one of the "U.A. Big Three."
The combat area is "Ruins." Midoriya and Shinso stand facing each other, while their opponent, Togata Mirio, stands in front of them in his battle suit, his cape fluttering in the wind, exuding a heroic and dignified presence.
Cameras broadcast the scene to the waiting room, where everyone is paying attention to this match. Bakugo Katsuki and Todoroki Shoto are especially focused, both having fought against Hado Nejire and Tamaki Amajiki from the "U.A. Big Three" and knowing full well that these third-year students are no pushovers...
Therefore, this battle between Midoriya and Togata Mirio is being watched closely. Known as the successor to All Might, "Mirio" is said to be the strongest among the "U.A. Big Three," and facing him in a head-on battle seems nearly impossible to win.
That said, Midoriya's team is facing a huge challenge... Thinking about this, Todoroki Shoto and Bakugo Katsuki shift their gaze to Shinso Hitoshi. He's the trump card in this practical exam.
During the U.A. Sports Festival, Shinso demonstrated his overwhelmingly powerful "Brainwashing" Quirk, which caught every competitor except for Bakugo and Todoroki's teams. It was like having a cheat-level Quirk.
And the trigger for it is incredibly simple—if Shinso speaks to someone and they answer him, they immediately fall under his control.
With no one knowing how this practical exam will play out, the scene cuts back to the live action.
"Midoriya... what are you wearing!?"
"^ ^ Haha~~ I kind of misunderstood what this exam was about, but now I'm all in, right?"
Shinso Hitoshi, surprised, looks at Midoriya Izuku, who awkwardly smiles back. He'd heard from Senior Hado that the final exam would involve fighting robots, so Midoriya brought his modified mechanical armor. It was originally designed for fighting robots.
Since Midoriya is in the Hero Course but also belongs to the Support Course, he's allowed to use his inventions during the practical exam.
Even though the exam's details were changed last minute, once he found out their opponent was "Togata Mirio," Midoriya got serious, putting on the armor's gloves, called the "Death God Gloves," and boots named "King of the Storm." He also strapped various support tools to his belt armor.
"Alright... I think you're overdoing it."
Shinso Hitoshi, slightly speechless, is about to say something when Togata Mirio, standing in front of them, speaks up.
"Are you ready? I'm about to make my move."
"Wait, wait!"
Shinso Hitoshi quickly calls for a stop. With Togata looking confused, Shinso asks a question.
"Mirio-senpai, do you know what my Quirk is?"
"It seems like I heard from others that it's a very powerful 'Quirk'?"
Togata Mirio answered without any suspicion, and Shinso Hitoshi gave a smug smile. He happily said:
"Actually, it's not that great. My Quirk is 'Brainwashing,' so sorry, Mirio-senpai, but your reply just now got caught up in it!"
"What!?"
Togata Mirio was greatly surprised, then suddenly, he froze like a wooden mannequin, completely still. The 'Brainwashing' had successfully taken effect.
Clapping his hands and acting innocent, Shinso Hitoshi turned to Midoriya and said:
"Got him!"
"You're amazing... I give up..."
Midoriya Izuku admitted defeat, realizing just how powerful Shinso Hitoshi's 'Brainwashing' Quirk was. Even someone as strong as Mirio-senpai became a puppet—like suddenly meeting a powerful ally in a nightmare. It was that easy.
"Shinso's Quirk is still terrifying."
"There's no way around it. People who don't understand the medium of 'Brainwashing' are too easy to fall for it."
"Speaking of which, we also got caught during the sports festival."
.....
The first-year students in the waiting room began discussing excitedly. Mirio-senpai from the third year lost due to lack of information, but there wasn't much that could be done—after all, lack of information is a weakness in any fight.
"Aizawa-sensei, does this mean we passed?"
"This isn't a simple tournament. Either you defeat a million or escape the battle zone. Only completing one of those tasks counts as passing."
Shinso Hitoshi asked the proctor, and Aizawa Shouta responded indifferently. Even though the current situation meant that Midoriya's group had passed without a doubt.
"Alright, let's head out then."
Shinso Hitoshi quickly decided to leave the battle area. His Quirk would deactivate if it received a strong shock, so it was better not to risk it and just pass quietly.
"Mm—let's go."
Midoriya Izuku agreed with this plan, but as he turned to leave, he suddenly noticed the tiniest movement in Togata Mirio's finger...
Midoriya turned around sharply. The slight movement of Mirio's finger didn't escape his notice. Now, Midoriya saw that Mirio's finger was trembling violently.
"Not good, run!!"
He grabbed a confused Shinso Hitoshi and sprinted towards the exit of the battle area. Mirio's strange reaction gave him a bad feeling.
"How embarrassing... I can't believe I fell for it."
Mirio's expression remained wooden, but inside, he felt utterly ashamed. He hadn't expected to be tricked by Shinso Hitoshi so easily. Trapped in the 'Brainwashing' state, he couldn't move, but he realized that the power of 'One for All' could still be activated in his body.
Although Mirio felt like he had already lost, as a senior, he wanted to save face, so he decided to cheat a little.
He used 'One for All' to send power into his right hand. A powerful shockwave blasted around him, sending winds and dust flying. The shock caused Togata Mirio to break free from 'Brainwashing.'
"Wait, how did he break out of 'Brainwashing'?!"
"Stop talking, just run!!"
The strong shockwave from behind made the people in front feel it too. Shinso Hitoshi was confused—where did this external force come from to break Mirio-senpai's Quirk?
Midoriya Izuku, pulling Shinso, charged forward, knowing that facing 'Mirio' head-on was a sure way to get defeated.
"Sorry, but I won't let you two pass so easily!"
Suddenly appearing in front of them, Togata Mirio sprang out from the ground. His Quirk was now in question—was it 'Penetration' or 'Teleportation'?
"That's fast!"
"This is just a technique."
Midoriya Izuku, facing a serious threat, and Togata Mirio, explaining carefully.
Togata Mirio's Quirk, "Permeation," allows him to phase through walls. Once underground, he adjusts his direction and cancels the Quirk. Because of his compatible size, he's launched like a cannonball, directly aiming for the target and getting ejected. This is the real truth behind his "Teleportation."
