The Victor in the Smoke

At the forest training camp, the battlefield was silent.

Yuto held his blades and turned into a bright streak, cutting through the wind as he charged toward Moonfish.

Whoosh!

A sharp sound tore through the air.

A fierce cyclone rose, lifting leaves and dust.

In an instant, sword energy filled the field.

Boom!

Explosions rang out one after another.

Clouds of smoke rose into the sky.

Yuto's three blades collided violently with Moonfish's thousands of blades.

Three Thousand Worlds.

The Gura Gura no Mi and Yuto's swordsmanship fused perfectly.

Every slash tore through the air and cracked the atmosphere.

Moonfish's blades came like a storm.

Yuto shattered them all.

Against Yuto, the thousands of blades meant nothing.

In the blink of an eye, the blades broke apart and turned into white dust that drifted away on the wind.

Thousands of blades were gone just like that.

Moonfish was completely stunned.

His eyes widened as he stared at Yuto.

He shook his head in panic.

"Impossible. How could thousands of blades lose to three swords?"

While Moonfish was still shocked, Yuto did not stop.

He pressed the advantage.

With one final thunderous blast, the whole forest training camp shook.

A huge cloud of smoke rose into the air.

A powerful shockwave spread from Yuto in all directions.

Trees were knocked over, grass was torn up, and everyone nearby was thrown off balance.

At the same time, Yuto drew his sword at extreme speed and slashed toward Moonfish.

Blade light flashed.

The strike was sharp and fast.

No one could see the movement clearly.

The battle ended before they understood it.

This was Three Sword Style Secret Art: Three Thousand Worlds.

When Yuto's sword stopped moving, Moonfish collapsed.

Moonfish never had a chance.

Because of the massive shockwave, dust covered the whole battlefield.

Visibility was extremely low.

For the moment, no one outside knew the result.

The explosion from Yuto and Moonfish's battle drew everyone's attention.

Yaoyorozu felt the shockwave from afar.

Her hair whipped in the wind, and she clenched her fists. Her palms were covered in cold sweat.

"Did Yuto win?"

Even Bakugo looked shocked by the power of Yuto's attack.

"Damn it, Yuto. Did you get even stronger?"

Todoroki was shaken too.

"Yuto really has become stronger."

"He may have won this battle."

Everyone was tense.

They silently prayed for Yuto.

Had Yuto won or lost?

Midoriya, Tsuyu, Mina, and the others who did not know the situation were also shaken.

They all had the same question.

In this forest training camp, the only person who could cause such a huge disturbance might be Yuto.

Then had Yuto won or lost?

Class 1-A was worried.

The League members, however, felt differently.

They sensed the explosion and terrifying shockwave from the battlefield.

The ground shook like an earthquake, and heavy smoke rose in the distance.

The entire camp looked like a battlefield.

The League members were shocked too.

Dabi had not fully recovered from his surprise.

"Did Moonfish lose?"

Kurogiri immediately denied it.

"Impossible. Thousands of blades and that rain-like assault should not lose."

"The stronger Pro Heroes have already been held back. A fifteen-year-old student cannot defeat Moonfish."

"Even Yuto should not be able to do that."

Unfortunately, Kurogiri had underestimated Yuto's growth.

After the Hero Killer incident, Yuto had gone through the U.A. final exams, and his growth had already exceeded Kurogiri's imagination.

Dabi nodded.

"That's right. But Moonfish made this much noise. Nearby Pro Heroes may have noticed already."

Toga was even more excited, her cheeks flushed.

"Who did Moonfish fight? That was so strong. I wonder who's stronger, that person or Yuto."

"I can't wait to fight Yuto."

On another battlefield, Muscular felt the unprecedented shockwave and smiled cruelly.

"What a shame. Moonfish got to handle such a strong opponent."

"If I had met them, I could have worn them down slowly."

"Just like I did to Water Hose."

Those words enraged Mandalay.

She clenched her teeth and shouted, "Muscular! I will capture you today."

At the same time, Mandalay was also worried.

Had Moonfish really defeated someone on their side?

Back on Yuto's battlefield, smoke covered the area.

Pixie-Bob's eyes were filled with shock.

Was Yuto really that strong?

Even after watching the whole fight, she still found it hard to believe.

Was this really the strength of a fifteen-year-old high school student?

At last, she understood why Yuto had refused her invitation.

With Yuto's strength, he really could build the No. 1 hero agency in the future.

That was not empty talk.

The smoke slowly began to clear.

Pixie-Bob stared at the battlefield.

Her heart pounded as she held her breath.

Who had won?

Yuto or Moonfish?

When the smoke dispersed, a sharp blade light appeared in Pixie-Bob's sight.

Had Yuto won?
