Yuto Wins

In the teachers' viewing area, Principal Nezu looked openly shocked.

"Has Yuto already reached Present Mic's level?" he asked.

Midnight looked toward the forest battlefield. Red smoke covered the entire field. She gave a helpless smile. "I don't like admitting it, but Yuto's level has already surpassed mine. He may have surpassed Present Mic as well."

"With that powerful Quirk and his swordsmanship, surpassing All Might might not be a dream anymore."

All Might showed his usual bright smile and nodded. "My own body is declining day by day. I really do want to see how far Young Yuto can grow."

"But was this really his strongest state?"

"When he faces me, I'll find out."

As he spoke, every eye in the stadium turned back toward the battlefield.

The crowd held its breath.

Their hearts pounded.

Thump. Thump.

The red smoke slowly scattered.

A dazzling white sword light flickered inside it.

Who had won?

That was the question in everyone's heart.

When the smoke finally cleared, a tall figure appeared in their sight.

The moment the audience saw him, they sucked in a breath.

There was no mistake.

That man was Yuto Kanzaki.

The crowd stared at the forest battlefield, mouths open, bodies trembling.

The entire field had become a ruin. Not a single place remained intact. Pits and broken ground covered everything.

Had a fifteen-year-old high school student really done this?

Even Present Mic had been unable to stop him?

The audience's hearts were still hammering.

Thump. Thump.

Even now, they could hardly believe what they were seeing.

This match had a clear winner.

Yuto had won decisively.

In the commentary room, Aizawa exhaled slowly and steadied himself.

"The winner of this match is Yuto," he announced, his voice still slightly unsteady.

"At only fifteen, Yuto has shown Pro Hero-level strength. It makes us wonder how far he'll go in the future."

"Either way, the next match is the one everyone has been waiting for."

"That's right. Yuto Kanzaki and Momo Yaoyorozu versus All Might."

"Before that, let's give Yuto and Present Mic a round of applause. They gave us an incredible match."

The moment he finished, the silence at U.A. High School exploded.

Cheers, applause, and shouts swept across the stadium.

The audience stood up one after another, shouting themselves hoarse for Yuto.

"Keep going, Yuto!"

"That's right! Keep moving forward!"

"We can't wait to see you fight All Might!"

"We're behind you!"

The noise rolled over U.A. like a wave and showed no sign of stopping.

For that moment, the school belonged to Yuto.

After defeating Present Mic, Yuto left the forest battlefield.

He had grasped Nine Sword Style.

Ghostly Aura. Nine Sword Style: Asura.

The reward was enormous.

But he did not have time to celebrate.

The final battle was coming.

His most anticipated fight.

Yuto Kanzaki versus All Might.

All Might, the legendary Symbol of Peace.

The No. 1 Pro Hero, wrapped in more honor and attention than anyone else.

For a while, the entire school was restless.

Everyone knew the main event had finally arrived.

The rising super rookie, Yuto Kanzaki, against All Might, the No. 1 Pro Hero.

Reporters aimed cameras, microphones, and flashes toward Yuto, afraid to miss even a single shot.

"Yuto, do you have confidence in the next match?"

"You've been undefeated since the Sports Festival. Even if All Might limits his power, he's still All Might. You're only fifteen. Do you see this as a learning opportunity?"

"You'll be fighting All Might under national attention. Are you nervous?"

"More than a thousand members of the press will be here for the final match. The scale is even bigger than the U.A. Sports Festival. Will that affect your performance?"

Yuto faced the flood of questions.

The country was watching?

Good.

More than a thousand members of the press?

Good.

Looking at the rows of cameras, Yuto smiled faintly.

"I'm not nervous at all," he said calmly. "I'm glad so many of you came to watch me try to surpass All Might."

Everyone froze.

That answer was very Yuto.

Could he really surpass All Might?

The thought entered everyone's mind.

And with that expectation, they waited for the final battle.

Yuto Kanzaki versus All Might.
