"Eh!? Ah, ye... yes. We're next, aren't we"
On the other side of the screen, the Todoroki & Shoji pair (or rather, mostly Todoroki) who had frozen the entire building in an instant were leisurely walking to touch the nuclear weapon, having defeated the Ojiro & Hagakure pair.
Freezing with the right and burning with the left... strong, or rather scary. As expected from recommendation entrance...
"...Tough break for Ojiro and them"
"Yes indeed... That would be impossible to handle without specialized equipment. And as for Hagakure-san, she... prioritized stealth above all and took everything off..."
"...In terms of being an invisible person, it was the correct judgment. Though ethically it's unacceptable"
More importantly, did Hagakure's outfit even serve as a costume?
"I think Ojiro would be strong in a direct fight too? Probably, he has martial arts experience"
"Is that so? How do you know... may I ask?"
"Nah, on the first day of school we shook hands, and when I touched it I could tell, it was really hard (his hand). Big (hand) and thick (the skin of his hand), and rough (hand). I think he's used it quite a lot. He has a sturdy build and power too, so if it came to a straight fight it would be quite tough (the combat)"
"I see... Now that you mention it, Ojiro-san was seated behind you. Now that you point it out, his standing posture was impressive too... He must have abundant experience (in martial arts). In that case, would he be skilled not just in simple close combat but also grappling and ground techniques?"
"Probably. I don't think he'd neglect those aspects while focusing only on flashy techniques. Well, he probably doesn't get many chances to use them in actual combat, but I think he'd be good at restraining. Once he grabs you and pins you down, escaping would be extremely difficult. Plus, he has that long, thick, and impressive thing (tail), combined with his physique, if he fully utilizes it, it would be a powerful weapon"
"Yes indeed. It's long and thick and impressive and hairy too (tail). And since it has elasticity, he must be good at receiving attacks too (meaning defensive capability)"
"Mi, Mineta..."
"I know, I know, Kaminari, Sero. That it's not that kind of conversation... but man..."
"Y, yeah, I get it... Just hearing those two talking like that is wild..."
Well then, our turn.
☆☆☆
Since we're the villains, we entered the building 5 minutes early for strategy time.
"By the way, Fumiko-san, judging from the physical fitness test the other day and the shape of your costume... may I assume your combat style is close combat?"
While looking me over from head to toe, Yaoyorozu asked that.
"? Ah, well, yeah. All I can do is get close and punch... well, if I go all out, I can produce something like shockwaves with the momentum of swinging my fist, but either way I don't think it matches Midoriya's full power"
As Yaoyorozu said, my costume was clearly designed for close combat.
To put it simply... a modified gakuran. Of course, the male version.
I'm wearing the gakuran top and bottom unbuttoned and disheveled. The jacket is the long type, so-called 'Long Jacket', that flutters like a cape when moving vigorously.
The innerwear underneath is like a tight-fitting bodysuit. The color is white, covering my entire body except for wrists, ankles, and head. From the waist up, around chest level, it's covered with something like a corset. Visually, it's designed like wrapped bandages.
The sturdy belt around my waist has several pouch-like cases attached, allowing me to carry various small items.
In addition to these, wearing sturdy boots, a special school cap with built-in night vision goggles (normally hidden under the brim) and radio equipment completes it. This is my 'combat uniform'.
Of course, all of these are made of sturdy special materials for combat, but conversely, that's all. Other than the school cap, there are no special equipment-like items.
The design simply pursues sturdiness, and the means of attack is purely physical combat.
"That was... even now when I recall it, it's strange. Completely unable to control his Quirk, like a child who just manifested their Quirk... Could it be he never did any training until this age?"
"Well, you can't use Quirks outside of private property... Besides, with that much power, he probably didn't have proper places to train, right? Or perhaps, since he got seriously injured every time he tried, they considered it too dangerous to even activate and didn't let him train properly"
"I see... When you really think about it, the reason U.A. students can do such practical training is because we have Recovery Girl, an excellent school nurse. In ordinary home environments, certainly..."
"Healing-type Quirks are few in number. If using it meant getting seriously injured every time, choosing not to use it wouldn't be strange... Well, setting aside Midoriya, we need to think of a strategy"
"Y, yes indeed... We have about 3 minutes left"
While talking, Yaoyorozu continued her 'Creation'. The sight of inorganic objects emerging from her Part 2
body, dripping out one after another, is somehow... a strange appearance.
More importantly, this... could it be capture tape?
"Yes. I'll use my ability to create large quantities and set up traps. For corridors too, but I think it would be better to focus on windows"
"Windows? That's... ah, Asui"
"Yes, her Quirk is 'Frog'... so I thought she might climb walls like a frog to infiltrate. And Tokoyami-san's Quirk could potentially do something similar too"
Indeed... quite the colorful pair, those two.
Not just the frog, but Tokoyami's 'Dark Shadow', right? That shadow monster seemed quite versatile with integrated offense and defense...
