Chapter 114:
My Hero Academia: Gura Gura no Mi
This night would not be peaceful.
Battles continued across the forest training camp.
On the battlefield where Ochaco, Tsuyu, Mineta, and the others faced the Nomu, Class 1-A was in trouble.
The Nomu's frantic assault left them with no room to fight back.
The perfect combination of Blades and Hardening turned the Nomu into a living weapon.
It was unstoppable.
At that moment, the Nomu targeted Ochaco.
It launched a wave-like assault toward her.
Each punch carried force like a crashing tide.
The fist came down hard, stirring up a sharp white cyclone.
The cyclone swept across the field, scattering leaves and throwing dust into the air.
Tokoyami and the others were in terrible condition.
Seeing Ochaco about to be attacked, Tokoyami's eyes sharpened as he counterattacked.
"Dark Feast. Go, Dark Shadow. Tear the Nomu apart."
Dark Shadow surged out from Tokoyami.
His Quirk activated.
In the darkness, Dark Shadow looked like a hunter with red eyes and a savage aura.
Two huge black claws tore toward the Nomu.
Nomu versus Dark Shadow.
The battle began.
Black claws met giant fists.
In a single clash, a thunderous sound rang out.
Boom!
A red cloud of smoke rose from the ground.
The earth shook as gray smoke surged upward.
A powerful shockwave burst from the Nomu and sent Tokoyami flying.
Rumble!
Tokoyami crashed to the ground, blood at the corner of his mouth.
In only one exchange, Tokoyami had lost.
The Nomu was unharmed.
It pounded its chest and roared.
As time passed, the Nomu became even more aggressive.
Class 1-A's faces tightened with worry.
Tsuyu said grimly, "A monster at the Nomu's level is not something we can handle, ribbit."
She paused, then explained, "This Nomu has two Quirks, Hardening and Blades, and its strength is high."
"Kaminari's shock didn't damage it. Hardening counters his electricity."
"Kirishima-chan has the same Hardening Quirk, but he still couldn't match it."
"Tokoyami-chan was also defeated in one exchange."
Those few sentences summarized the situation.
If this continued, they would lose.
Mineta shook and grabbed his head.
"How did this happen? Tokoyami, Kaminari, Kirishima... they're all strong."
"During the Hero Killer incident, we beat Nomu before!"
Tsuyu shook her head regretfully.
"That was then, ribbit. Back then, Bakugo-chan and Todoroki-chan were there too."
"More importantly, Yuto-chan was commanding the whole battlefield. His on-the-spot command was strong."
Mineta's face darkened, and he cried out, "Then are we just waiting to die?"
Everyone fell silent.
Facing such a powerful Nomu, continuing like this left only one result.
The Nomu's attacks became sharper and more violent.
Roar!
With a roar that shook the sky, the Nomu charged toward Ochaco like thunder.
It raised a huge fist and smashed it toward her.
The wind from the punch howled.
Dust flew, and leaves spun through the air.
If that fist landed, she would die.
After fighting for so long, Ochaco was exhausted.
Her cheeks were flushed, and she was breathing hard.
Because she had burned through too much energy, she could not react to the incoming fist in time.
Despair appeared in her eyes.
Was this the end?
Tsuyu, Kirishima, Tokoyami, and the others widened their eyes.
They wanted to help, but they could not reach her.
The giant fist was right in front of Ochaco.
The blow was seconds from landing.
At that critical moment, One Sword Style opened.
Blade light flashed past.
Whoosh!
A sharp sound tore through the air.
A rainbow-like streak shot out of the darkness toward the Nomu.
A blue-green fire dragon struck the Nomu with lightning speed.
Bright blue-green light filled the field.
The heat raised the surrounding temperature sharply.
What was that?
Everyone stared in shock at the sudden attack.
For an instant, the whole field fell silent.
Every eye turned to the blue-green fire dragon.
Had Ochaco been saved?
Had Yuto finally arrived?
In the darkness, a pair of sharp eyes appeared.
A cold voice rang out.
"One Sword Style: Flying Dragon Blaze."
