The Wild, Wild Pussycats and the three students collided, their heads banging together.
Lemillion passed right through them, using Permeation.
Then, with a thud, they fell as the invisible force loosened its hold over them.
Not far from them, Magne's clone let out a painful grunt and held her head with both hands.
"…Oi…" Spinner narrowed his eyes. "You are overdoing it, Big Sis Mag… Remember what the doctor said?"
Magne squinted as the Heroes began getting up.
Her Quirk was Magnetism, allowing her to apply strong magnetic polarity to people around her within a 5-meter radius. She could magnetize a person's entire body or specific portions. Men were polarized south, marked by a blue aura that only she could see. Conversely, women were polarized north and held a reddish magnetic aura.
That's why she carried the large magnet-pillar on her all the time, to use it to attract or repel targets in the direction she wanted.
As a clone made by Twice's clone, however, the range of her Quirk had decreased to only 2 meters.
Then she was chosen to wear the Quirk Amplification Device, breaking all limits.
Now, she could magnetize people in a 50-meter radius around her with no limit!
However, this ridiculous strength hadn't come without a cost, as promised by the doctor.
The farther a target was, and the greater the number of targets she magnetized, the greater the load on her mind would become. If she repeatedly pushed herself past the boundaries, then the Pros wouldn't even need to scratch her to make her disappear, as she would cease to exist!
No!
She wouldn't let that happen!
Magne wanted to live freely — the way she wanted to!
So what if she was but a clone! That didn't mean she would give up on her ideals! Right? Right?!
"…Fuck off!" Magne slammed Spinner's hand away, making his eyes pop out in surprise. "These bastards… are mine! Haha!"
As Spinner frowned, realizing Magne's clone was going rogue, a figure shot out from the earth like a bullet toward his back.
"…Gotcha!" Magne suddenly smirked.
Lemillion's eyes widened.
He instantly used Permeation, but Magne's Quirk still covered him under an invisible bluish aura, magnetizing him. Not only him, but the same blue aura also appeared on Spinner, pulling his body toward the large magnet pillar.
As the two figures glided and got pulled toward the pillar, Magne's clone appeared in their path, lining herself, Spinner, and Lemillion in a straight line.
Moonlight —
An immense repelling force was generated between Spinner and Lemillion because the two of them were of the same polarity.
Then, grabbing Spinner, she deactivated her Quirk on the Pro Hero.
A HISS slithered through the surroundings as Lemillion got launched like a cannonball, disappearing in the smoke-filled sky within moments.
— Flit Cannon!
"Off you go — Pro!" Magne grinned, turning around and putting her foot on Pixie-Bob's head. "Now… where were we?"
Opposite the two Villains, the remaining Heroes and students balled their fingers into fists.
They weren't worried about Lemillion, but his absence would sting them sooner or later, they knew.
"Get your filthy leg off her face!" Tiger screamed, sharp claws tearing out of his gloves in anger. "She's only recently begun thinking of marriage…"
"Oi!" Spinner ridiculed. "Is that a thing a Pro should be worried about right now?! Haha! No wonder Stain calls Heroes like you black spots of society…"
"Tiger, wait!" Mandalay said. "I have already broadcast the matter of Villains having Quirk Amplification Devices. Also, Ragdoll just told me that the Villain with the device looks like paper when she tried to find out her weakness… There must be something wrong with her. We need to find it out and relay it to others. Midoriya, Ojiro, and Mineta! Return to the campsite and group up with others! We will handle the Villains here…"
"Whoa!" Magne's brows rose. "Now, that's a proper leader. But… do you think I will let anyone get away from here?"
Standing behind the three Pros, Midoriya's eyes landed on the sweat on Mandalay's face.
Ojiro and Mineta were already turning around to run away, but he… couldn't.
"Mandalay!" Midoriya shouted, even as Spinner and Tiger charged at each other. "I know where he is! I know… where Kota is!"
Full Cowl — 17%!
Cyan-colored lightning crackled around Midoriya as he ran away in the opposite direction of the campsite.
Between him and the Villains, Mandalay charged toward Magne, hoping to keep her occupied.
Ojiro and Mineta continued to run toward the campsite, knowing they would never be able to catch up to Midoriya, given the latter's speed.
Ragdoll put her entire focus on finding Magne's weakness.
And just as things were happening the way the leader of the Wild, Wild Pussycats wanted them to…
…a mountain appeared over the forest out of nowhere…
…changing topography!
BOOOM!
…
Near the campsite, Aizawa pressed the Villain under his knees, breaking his arm.
"How many of you are here? What is your purpose?" the Pro asked, his eyes glowing red as he canceled Dabi's Quirk. He had already confirmed that this one didn't possess the Quirk Amplification Device. Not to mention, he had already recognized the Villain from I-Island. "Did Stain put you up to this?"
"Haha!" Dabi laughed. "I have a question for you, too… Pro. Are your students—"
A BOOM shook the world out of nowhere.
The earth quaked, and a shockwave carrying broken twigs and dust spanned out through the forest, slamming right into Aizawa, slamming him into the wall next to him.
As if the mere sight of the rocky mountain wasn't enough, what happened next was even more surprising.
Despite the pain, Erasure Head hadn't blinked at all.
Yet in the very next moment, the Villain disintegrated into a pile of mud.
"—important to you?" Dabi's clone finished, grinning sadistically at the Hero.
…
At the same time, on the secret hideout over a hill, Kota fell as the earth shook, little rocks raining down on him from above.
"Kota!" Mandalay's voice rang in his mind through Telepathy. "Hide! Someone will come to get you! Don't worry!!"
Kota's eyes couldn't look away from the mountain, though, a cloud of dust and smoke surrounding it like a cloak.
Slowly, steps rang behind him, making him look over his shoulder.
"Hello!" the Villain, with a black robe on his shoulders, grinned, taking off his mask. "Were you… supposed to be here?"
And the moment Kota's eyes landed on the Villain's face, all scenes vanished from his mind, getting replaced by one name—
— Muscular!
