As Araki walks down the big venue, he looks around to see the building and how it completely replicates the city.
"Should I look for them? Nah, given them, they would head right into me." Just then, he hears a continuous loud booming. This made him smile as he looks up to see Bakugo heading towards him.
The moment their eyes meet each other, Araki silently muttered, "Make this hour interesting for me."
Bakugo then puts his left hand and made a small circle on his palm. "Take my new move, motherfucker! AP SHOT!" His palm shoots out a small but concentrated shot of explosion. It hits Araki as a cloud of dust covered the area and the concrete road cracks below. The move didn't seem as destructive as his usual moves but the power behind it was obvious to everyone.
Inside the viewing room, the student were shocked to see it. The same is true to the professors who deduced more than the children. 'He kept the explosion minimal to prevent destroying the buildings. He also tried a more concentrated shot which was different from the tournament.' They all thought.
However, as to no one's surprise, Araki just stood there with his white cape flapping because of the wind. Bakugo lands with an enraged face, immediately boosting himself to Araki's. This time, he opted for a close combat fight as he sends a roundhouse kick to his face, a move reminiscent of two of his classmates.
But before it hits, Araki's body lowered down just enough to dodge the attack. This is enough to surprise the hot-headed kid as he recovers. He attacked to close combat once more when he sees Araki smile and jumps backwards.
There enters a green-haired kid from another side. He was running fast, just enough to catch up to Bakugo albeit a second late. The moment Bakugo's flying kick aimed at the right side of Araki's body, Izuku's follows with a kick on the other side.
But to their surprise, Araki didn't dodge like he usually do. Just before the first kick lands, he raises his arms to parry the kick. Bakugo was about to follow up with another when his body moved on its own.
Before he knew it, his body was slammed on Izuku who, like him, wasn't able to defend. He was late to realize that Araki grabbed his leg.
"Good reaction. Instead of dodging, he opted to catch Bakugo to distribute the damage. He might've been knocked out cold if he hits the concrete with that force." Aizawa said, as they watch the fight.
Within seconds, Bakugo managed to recover as he distanced himself from Araki. Kirishima then comes from one of the alley as he hardens his upper body.
Seeing Araki's full attention was targeted on the two, he rushed to get a hit in. However, a massive boom resounded as a wall of a nearby building crumbles.
*Boom!*
The red haired kid was sent flying by Araki with a turning kick. Izuku has also now recovered just before he can distance himself, a barrage of concentrated explosions hits Araki.
"AP MACHINE GUN!"
Luckily, none of it hits him. He distances himself from Araki who was still getting hit by the explosions. Just like before, all the explosion didn't even manage to hurt Araki who is walking towards him.
As they saw him, his figure suddenly disappears and Bakugo saw a figure above. It was Araki who was fast approaching him like a missile with a punch. The moment it hit him, he immediately flew towards the couple of walls and buildings. This simple punch almost knocked out Bakugo as Araki decided to change targets.
He ran towards Izuku who has recovered and was ready to fight. This time, he didn't attack above like he did with Bakugo but rather, he used a more unpredictable technique. Like a Dempsey roll, he swerved left and right causing confusion to the green haired hero. Just as Araki closed the distance between the two, Izuku did a roundhouse kick to the head.
It was something that Araki was ready of and is obvious with how he countered by pushing his leg upwards, timing it right, and almost knocking Izuku out of balance. He staggered as he tries to regain his balance and Araki didn't let it slip by faking a punch on the face, only to hit him in the solar plexus.
Izuku's instincts, let him react a bit faster and maneuver his body instinctively and lessen the damage but he was still thrown several meters away. He ended up in a kneeling position as he tried to catch his breathe.
Luckily for him, Araki has already changed target to Kirishima who has just recovered. He simply did a spinning head kick to the kid who wasn't able to react as much like the other two. The sequence of events shocked all their other classmates as they all watch in amusement.
"Goddamn, he destroyed them all in seconds!" Sero said with mix of excitement and nervousness.
"He overwhelmed them with little to no effort. If I were them, I'd retreat as fast as possible and try to make a better strategy or try to improve on their teamwork. But knowing them, they'd have a hard time on either one." Shoto said, nonchalantly.
However, all the others agrees with him including all the teachers watching, especially All Might and Aizawa.
'All these kids have the potential to be the best of the best if taught correctly. Surpisingly, Araki is subconsciously teaching them all they need to know.' He thought sincerely as he rubs his chin.
-Somewhere in Japan-
"Boss, should we continue with the experiment?" One of a lackey with mask asks.
"Did I tell you to stop?" The masked mastermind answered.
"No, sir!" "Then you know what to do." He said sternly.
All the other lackeys continued with their jobs as they separate to their assignments. The masked leader didn't even looked back as he sees one of the workers confused with their works.
"I thought that the rules here were clear. Why do I keep seeing people disobeying them?" The masked leader shouts. This caused all the lackeys to freeze in fear and watch their leader approach the culprit.
"Sir! I am so sorry! It's just an emergency, I have to reply to my family." One of the masked lackeys panics before the leader even reaches him.
"It doesn't matter. Rules are rules. I won't disobey them for such an unreasonable reason." He said as he jumps and chokes the culprit. When the culprit tries to escape from his boss's grasps, he simply disintegrates into ashes gathers into one.
