The army of "villains" following Gang Orca were charging full on towards Midoriya and the triage station.

"Villains?!" cried Ojiro.

"Look! Right in front of the first aid area!" said Ashido. "Bringing out villains so close by? How mean!"

"We're not done with our rescue efforts here, but it's not like we can just look the other way…" said Asui.

Right. Better bring myself to the front line. My quirk is best suited to keeping them back.

I headed for the front line. Gang Orca was holding onto the boy from Ketsubutsu from the front gates by the neck, facing down Midoriya and the others as they attempted to evacuate everyone.

"With this gap in our abilities, you think you can hold me off alone? You're underestimating me!" said Gang Orca.

I used my ice to block him and he dropped the Ketsubutsu student.

Ojiro, Tokoyami and Ashido had followed me, and Ojiro was calling out "Midoriya! Evacuations? We'll help you!"

"Everyone!" cried Midoriya. "Where were you guys?!"

"We were by the waterfront nearby! Everyone headed in the direction of town so there wasn't really enough help where we were, but we saw all the villains around here and came to support! As and the others are still over there continuing the rescue operations," said Ojiro.

"Todoroki's so fast!" I heard Ashido cry out.

Right. WE've got this

WOOSH!

I looked up. That scream.

"I'M GONNA BLOW THESE EVILDOERS AWAAAAAYYY!"

"Wind…" I muttered.

"VILLAIN INTRUDERS, EH?!" screamed the windbag. "WELL AIN'T THAT QUITE THE HOT DEVELOPMENT?!"

I felt my eye twitch. And he saw me and immediately glared.

Behind us, the others were talking.

"It's the guy who turned down admission to UA!"

"That's good. All of the people with combat ability to gathering together. Let's focus on the evacuation efforts."

"JUST MY LUCK! YOU'RE HERE TOO!" he screamed at me.

That stupid glare. "I hate you both" That's my line. Everything you say is pissing me off.

I told him, "How about you go help with the evacuation at the first-aid area? Your quirk is probably well-suited for it. I'll take care of things over here."

I prepared my flames to attack Gang Orca - he'd broken free from my ice - And the wind blew it away…

YOU!

He screamed, "WHY ARE YOU USING FLAMES?! WITH HEAT, WIND BECOMES UNSTABLE!"

"It's be cause he defended my ice earlier!" I snapped. "Didn't you come here to assist? If anything, my flames are being blown off by your wind!"

"YOU'RE JUST DOING THIS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT TO ANYONE ELSE!"

"Huh? What are you talking about? Who'd do that?"

"YO UWOULD! AFTER ALL, YOU ARE ENDEAVOR'S SON!"

Damn you.

I turned to face him. "What did you - just - you - WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM!? MY FATHER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS - "

A cement blast had hit my arm.

"Cement gun! Once you get hit by the cement, it hardens and makes it difficult for you to move!" came the gloating.

"It really makes no sense. I can't believe you're arguing," came the booming voice of Gang Orca.

"HE HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THIS!" the Wind guy was screaming at me. "TO ME, HEROES ARE ALL ABOUT PASSIONATE FIRE! THEIR HOT SPIRITS INSPIRE HOPE AND MOVE PEOPLE AROUND THEM! THAT'S WHY I WAS SO SHOCKED TO MEET HIM. ALL I COULD SEE IN HIS E YES WAS A COLD BLOODED HATRED FOR EVERYTHING. AND THEN WHEN I MET YOU AT THE ENTRANCE EXAM, I KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHO YOU WERE - BECAUSE YOUR EYES WERE THE SAME AS HIS!"

"The same as his? Don't insult me. I'm nothing like him."

Stop already. HE's just some guy who hates my father. I've got to focus on the exam. Don't lose your cool. You've gotten over things with your father….

His face - his damn face, my old man's, coming up in my head…

no. there is still some hate inside me.

stop it. focus on the exam.

"What exactly are you doing, in front of the enemy?" said Gang Orca.

"I WILL ENVER RECOGNIZE THE TWO OF YOU AS HEROES!" screamed that loudmouth again.

Focus -

I blasted flames - the wind guy blasted again - they threw me off -

"AGAIN? SERIOUSLY, YOU -"

But - the wind - the wind made my flames blow towards that boy from Ketsubutsu on the ground-

OH NO.

In a flash, a green blur swooped in and pulled him, the Ketsubutsu boy, off the ground and out of the way, saving him in the nick of time.

Midoriya…

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" he screamed at us.
