From the monitoring room, people watched the Group 2 match in awe, especially the two Todoroki brothers. They were amazed by the game between the two long-range attackers. Not only are their abilities impressive, but the amount of damage they can produce is also quite destructive.
You can see the training location which was destroyed by the explosion made by Shoto, and several trees which are still burning from Toya's fire.
While other people were amazed, some people had their thoughts, like Izuku who was thinking about how the siblings would interact.
At first glance, a faint smile formed when he witnessed how Toya helped his younger brother get out of the circle of hatred that had been shackling him. He was also happy that the relationship between his two friends had become closer.
' I think with this Fuyumi-san will be happy to see how close they have become '
Meanwhile, someone also noticed how the two brothers helped each other. He looked at his two children who were staring at one of them with hatred.
In his heart, All Might hope that his two children can support each other, but the reality before him betrays his hope. He could see the wide gap that separated the two children. Not only his sister but also his family.
A hatred that has made the gap even wider since their messy reunion in the arena. Izumi and his wife grow to hate Izuku even more, while All Might doesn't know what to do about his broken family.
Feeling the gaze behind his back made Izuku uncomfortable. Not only the hateful gaze that Izumi gave him but All Might's pitiful gaze made him feel suffocated.
Apart from that, Shimizu, who kept pulling on his robe while begging him to get Kisel out, was starting to annoy him.
" Hey leader, come on, get your wyvern out. "
" Huh... can't you go there yourself? "
" No thanks, after all, don't I work more than those two people? At least I have to save my mana to heal people, right? "
" ... "
Instead of answering Izuku remained silent in response. It wasn't that he couldn't answer, he just didn't want to aggravate his annoyance by arguing with Shimizu.
" fine "
" Thank you chief, oh! That's right, by the way, where is my weapon? "
Hearing Shimizu's question, the headmaster responded instead.
" Don't worry about that, we've prepared it. "
Along with the headmaster's words, two robots entered carrying a large suitcase and took it to Shimizu. She then opened the suitcase and glanced briefly at the large ax inside. She then lifted the ax easily and swung it as if it was nothing.
" Not bad, the weight and shape are also similar to the ones I usually use "
" Glad to hear that you like it "
" Thank you for providing weapons for my comrade "
" You're welcome, Thanks to the sketches and weapon information you provided, we were able to make it quickly. "
" Also please convey my thanks to Power Loader-sensei who has made it "
" Of course, but this weapon was not made by Power Loader-sensei, but by a student majoring in Support. "
Hearing the principal's statement suddenly made Izuku and Shimizu surprised. Shimizu once again traced the weapon in her hand while admiring the neat details of its workmanship.
It's hard to believe that a child who has just entered high school can make a weapon whose workmanship is equivalent to the work of a professional craftsman. It was like seeing another genius besides the vice guild master standing next to him.
" Then please convey my thanks to the student. "
" Sure, I'll tell her "
After checking the equipment, Izuku and Shimizu walked out of the room followed by group 3 students. Just like before, the group of students would leave accompanied by Izuku's bear monster and he would also summon another monster which would become Shimizu's ride.
Izuku's shadow widened and the two large monster figures rose from his shadow. A wyvern and a bear monster with bodies covered in wounds got up and immediately bowed down at Izuku.
The students there were quite amazed to see the dramatic sight in front of them but were no longer surprised because this was the umpteenth time they had seen it. Although one seemed a bit intimidated when looking at those two figures.
Shimizu, who was happy to see Izuku's wyvern, immediately approached him and tried to pet him but was ignored by Kaisel.
" By the way, leader, did you name this one? "
" Kaisel, that's his name "
" Kaisel huh... "
While Shimizu was busy looking at Kaisel, Izuku asked the students to climb on the back of his summoned bear and took them to the match location.
Shortly after the group left, the second group was with Toya. Seeing Izuku who was waiting for them, Toya immediately greeted him.
" Yo, vice guild master "
" You don't usually say hello, especially calling me like that. "
" Nothing, just thought you might hit me like Tanaka "
" You think I will do it "
" Just to make sure "
" Well, never mind, Shimizu heal them. "
" Okay, Oh! Todoroki... you- "
" Shut up! "
Toya immediately silent Shimizu while glaring at her sharply before she could finish her words. Meanwhile, Shimizu could only click her tongue in annoyance while healing the students.
After finishing with their healing, Izuku gave Shimizu a bottle of mana recovery potion before she left with Kaisel. Toya stopped her and asked her to heal him, but Shimizu just stuck out her tongue mocking Toya before she flew away with Kaisel.
Before returning to the monitor room, Izuku gave a few words to the students regarding their match as well as points from his observations. He then let the students go back first before walking hand in hand with Toya in the back.
As soon as Izuku returned, the third match continued. The third group consists of Tokoyami Fumikage, Ashido Mina, Shoji Mezo, Sero Hanta, and Mineta Minoru. They were assigned to fight Shimizu who was a healer, but also a tanker.
Shimizu's name is quite famous among Hunters as the only healer who can double as a Tank. She is also famous as one of the members of Izuku's Raid team who loves money. She often places a high price on her healing, even on her teammates.
The matches between groups of three were not too different from the previous groups. With Shoji on their side, they quickly found Shimizu's location. Even though their group was worried about their friend Fumikage, there didn't seem to be any problems, he was able to keep up and even fight well.
The time needed was also almost the same, but a little faster because Shimizu almost went berserk because of the actions of one of the students who looked at her with perverted eyes. Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand forced Izuku to take to the field to stop Shimizu before she could do anything further.
This made both parties apologize to each other for the actions of their respective students and subordinates. Shimizu, who was annoyed, even refused to heal Mineta, whom she had battered and was forced to call Beru to do it.
After cleaning up the mess that occurred the class then continued. Izuku asked the fourth group to get ready while he talked to the teachers and headmaster.
Just before they left, All Might called Izumi to talk to him separately. He took her into the hallway so no one would hear their conversation.
After making sure there was no one around, All Might glanced at his daughter who was wearing a hero costume similar to his. For a moment, All Might reflect on the years he spent raising his only daughter as a hero. He thought he had succeeded, but in reality, he had failed.
All Might continued to swallow this bitter reality in silence until Izumi woke him up from his reverie.
" What's the matter, Dad? "
" Izumi... in this match, can... you just give up? "
" What?! "
Hearing her father's statement suddenly made Izumi widen her eyes in surprise. She momentarily doubted her ears hearing her father ask her to surrender.
" What are you talking about suddenly, there's no way I can give up. I have to take revenge on that ignorant trash- "
" Izumi!... "
All Might immediately interrupted Izumi's words before she could finish. He then held her shoulders tightly.
" Kid, listen to me, You can't possibly win against him, your opponent is an S-rank hunter, and you won't- "
" No Dad, I will fight him no matter what, that person dared to hurt Dad, that trash- "
"Stop calling him trash! That person is your brother! "
Izumi fell silent again when her father raised his voice at her again. She looked into her father's eyes which seemed to plead with her despite the anger he had towards his daughter. Seeing her father's gaze, Izumi had no other choice but to harbor a grudge against her father. After all, All Might is her father and the person who has passed on his hero's will to her.
" Okay Dad, I understand, but I still won't back down from this fight no matter what happens. "
All Might almost tripped at his daughter's stubborn statement. This stubborn nature that she inherited from her mother sometimes makes even the no. 1 surrender.
" Okay, but at least don't make him angry, I don't want you to get hurt. "
After saying that, All Might stroked his daughter's blonde hair lovingly. He was relieved to think that his daughter would listen to him. However, contrary to All Might's opinion, Izumi has different thoughts.
' Sorry Dad, but I will take revenge no matter what '
Returning to the monitoring room, Izumi, who saw her group leaving, immediately chased them. Izuku who noticed her late arrival didn't even bother to glance at her, he completely ignored Izumi and continued walking leading the group.
Neither of them spoke, there was just a suffocating awkward atmosphere, especially towards the two people who radiated clear hostility towards Izuku since they first met.
Since Izuku openly ignored her, Izumi's hatred grew which also strengthened her determination for revenge. Once they got outside, Izuku immediately summoned his shadow soldiers and asked the students to get on.
However, Izuku received rejection from two students who hated him.
" You think I want to ride this stupid creature, huh?! "
" Get over it Bakugo... just go up, do you want to waste energy going there alone? "
" Shut up stupid "
" Is this okay, Izuku-san? "
Izuku calmly watched the interaction between them but said nothing as they argued.
" It doesn't matter, after all, I'm just offering you help, It's up to you if you accept it or not, but please remember that the decisions you make may be detrimental to the team.
Don't you think so, Yagi-san "
Izumi clicked her tongue as Izuku read her thoughts correctly. She had thought of refusing Izuku's ride and going there herself, but Izuku's words stopped her.
As a result, everyone in group 4 except Bakugo went with Izuku's summoned beast while Bakugo went alone. After making sure everyone was gone it was Izuku's turn to go.
" Let's go, Kaisel "
It didn't take long for him to arrive. The area assigned to him was the area with the densest trees, since he was an assassin this place was the most ideal for him. Izuku then closed his eyes feeling each of his soldiers disappear one by one.
' They moved pretty fast, not surprising with the two of them on the same team. But that move, I already thought he was copying All Might, and this one was impatient '
Izuku took a deep breath as he watched this team's messy fight where two self-centered people charged forward.
' Well, it's almost time for them to arrive '
As Izuku thought, a large explosion immediately appeared in front of him, he quickly responded by stepping back, and from behind the smoke, a fist appeared aiming for his face. Izuku easily dodged the blow and also delivered a counterpunch right to her stomach.
After sending Izumi's body flying, Izuku uses the remaining smoke to sneak away and hide again. He suppressed his presence while paying attention to the team's following actions.
When the smoke cleared Izuku's figure was nowhere to be seen, leaving only Bakugo and Izumi still writhing in pain on the ground. Bakugo then immediately cursed when he knew he had lost his prey.
Not long after their surprise attack failed, their teammates then caught up with them.
" Bakugo, Yagi, stop leaving us behind, We'll be on the same team as you. "
" That's right, apart from that, Yagi, why are you so enthusiastic about beating up that person, unlike your usual self? "
" Shut up extra! He's my prey, GET OUT YOU BASTARD! Stop hiding like a coward and come out and face me! "
While Bakugo exploded in anger, Izumi remained silent. Not only was she embarrassed that her attack had failed, but her anger also played a role in her silence.
Izuku sighed as he saw Bakugo's unchanging grumpy side. Considering his nature Izuku had guessed that the guy might refuse to cooperate, but he was a bit confused to see his twin sister also following in Bakugo's footsteps. Izuku had thought Izumi would hold back a bit, but having him here affected her more than he thought.
Seeing this group in disarray, Izuku decided to give them some advice. He then put mana into his voice which made his voice mix with the air.
" Hey, you guys realize that you're dealing with a killer, right? No killer is willing to reveal their location to their opponent. You'd better find me quickly before I finish you off one by one. "
Izuku's voice echoed throughout the forest making the group both alert and confused which made it difficult for them to determine the opponent's location. The group vigilantly looked around to see if there would be a sudden attack at any time.
Izuku was still watching them, he then deliberately moved to make it easier for them to find him. Soon Izuku's movements were caught by Bakugo who has sharper senses than the others. He immediately launched an attack as soon as he thought he felt something.
Izuku saw traces of an explosion where he was hiding before. Although he doesn't want to admit it, the destructive power produced by Bakugo's explosion is quite destructive, although still not enough to injure him.
Izuku continued doing this pattern, to see how many people would respond to his movements. While Izuku was busy hiding and dodging, Beru who had watched his liege fight whispered to him.
" My liege, please just leave it to your subordinates, We will make sure to educate them well, especially the angry bastard over there and the female who claims to be your sister. "
Hearing Beru's words, Izuku could feel that all his shadow soldiers were ready to fight on his behalf, but in this fight that was not necessary.
" No need, I'll take care of it myself "
" Understand, my liege "
At the king's command, Beru retreated into Izuku's shadow. Meanwhile, Bakugo and Izumi continue to launch attacks on the place where Izuku was.
Because the attacks continued to be missed, this gradually made Bakugo even more annoyed. Seeing how the veins were forming on his neck and forehead, it was only a matter of time before the boy completely exploded.
Izuku realizes this and thinks it's time to end this game of hide and seek. When the smoke from Bakugo's attack faded, Izuku's figure was seen again where he was. He stood as if he had never left.
" Are you done hiding, you rat b*str*d? "
" Yeah, it's quite fun playing hide and seek with you guys. "
Hearing Izuku's words only made Bakugo and Izumi even more annoyed. Izuku deliberately provoked them to see where their limits were.
" Well, I've been watching you guys for a while, and I've concluded that your team is a failure. "
" What?! "
" Ignoring your teammate and attacking alone, even though this is just a simulation, what do you think this fight is? You two are just fulfilling your selfishness and ignoring your teammates. Do you realize that your decision could get your teammate killed? "
" Just keep babbling, I'll kill you b*st*rd. "
Izuku frowned slightly as he faintly felt the murderous aura that Bakugo was emitting due to the hatred he had. The same thing applies to Izumi who looks at him with red eyes. Of the two people, it seemed like Izumi Lang was the one who wanted to kill him the most.
Facing both of them, Izuku couldn't help but sigh thinking that this battle would probably be a mess.
' hah... what a damn fate '
.
