Chapter 71: Run away! 4
"RUN AWAY! NO. 13 PROTECT EVERYONE!"
Aizawa was the first to notice the change in Nomu's eyes and quickly activated his "Quirk"!
His hair rose as he tried to cancel out Nomu's Quirk!
However, Nomu didn't seem to be affected by Aizawa's Quirk and appeared right in front of him in a flash, raising his fist and punching!
'Oh...'
Aizawa felt everything was moving in slow motion as he watched Nomu's fist about to hit him. He knew that he might die, yet he didn't feel worried about himself. Instead, he worried about his students since he knew he wouldn't be able to protect them anymore after this.
*BOOOOOOMMM!!"
"........."
No one could react, and they only stood in a place as they watched Aizawa being blown away to a distance. The only thing they could feel was the wind blast from Nomu's fist, which made them realize how strong he was!
Their heads were blank, and they couldn't understand what was happening.
Eh?
What happened?
What happened here?
Did Aizawa-sensei get blown away?
How was Aizawa-sensei?
Did he get hurt?
Did he die?
No one could answer their question, and they also stopped thinking about such a question since Nomu had stared in their direction!
When Nomu stared in their direction, it didn't hesitate and leaped in their direction!
The order that was given by the hand-fetish man was clear.
It was to kill all of them!
So Nomu was going to kill all of them!
No. 13, who wasn't confident with her fighting ability, stood up in front of everyone. While she didn't want to do this, it was impossible for her to use other methods since if she couldn't stop this villain, everyone would die!
The horror of Aizawa being blown away, without knowing what his condition was, made No. 13 all tense, nervous, and frightened. However, when she thought about how Nomu might do something similar to her students, how could she allow that?!
"Please forgive me, but I have to do this."
She opened the lid on her fingers and activated the black hole!
She knew that she might kill Nomu, but she didn't want her students to die, and she hoped Nomu would stop after she took one of his arms!
As Nomu jumped, he was attracted by the force of the black hole!
His arm was absorbed by the black hole and disintegrated.
".........."
Everyone was in a daze, watching how easy it was for No. 13 to erase Nomu's hand, realizing how dangerous her ability was.
No. 13 felt her body tremble since she didn't want to use her ability as a living being, but what could she do?
By this, Nomu should have stopped since she had disintegrated half of his left arm.
"Please stop. I don't want to fight again."
No. 13 begged and closed the lid on her fingers, stopping the black hole, yet suddenly, Nomu's arm that had been disintegrated suddenly regenerated.
"Eh?"
Not only No. 13, but everyone was also dumbfounded since they didn't expect this scene would happen.
Nomu's hand, which had been lost, quickly regenerated at a speed that was visible to the eyes, and that massive hand rose high to the sky, ready to slap No. 13!
'I'm going to get killed! I'm going to get killed!'
Those words kept repeating in No. 13's head.
She was clear about how strong Nomu was, and once that slap hit her, she knew she would die!
However, suddenly...
"Todoroki!"
"Aaarrgh!"
As his reminder fell, Todoroki used all of his power to freeze Nomu. He didn't care even if the temperature on his body dropped to the point where he almost froze by his own power, but he knew he had to stop Nomu or else No. 13 was going to get killed!
No, everyone was going to get killed!
Todoroki used all of his power to freeze Nomu before his body swayed and fell.
Fortunately, Mineta was behind him and caught him while staring at Todoroki's work. While it might be weird, he knew that the power of "Quirk" would be even stronger when one's emotion was mixed.
Todoroki's emotion poured into his power, and honestly, his ice was freezing cold.
Nomu was frozen solid inside the massive iceberg and defeated.
"Momo, give me a warmer! Tokoyami, bring me your cloak! Let Todoroki wear it to warm his body!"
Hearing his words, they quickly worked under his instruction.
They knew that the key to their escape was Todoroki.
"You alright, Todoroki?"
"I... I am alright..." Even though Todoroki didn't feel alright, he stubbornly said he was alright.
Mineta felt Todoroki was alright before he looked at Nomu in a complicated mood since he didn't expect this thing would be so strong!
While the crazy man before was rambling about something, he kept listening to him carefully, without missing anything. From how that man talked, he believed this group of villains tried to kill All-Might!
If he wasn't wrong, this humanoid monster should be the secret weapon of the villain group to kill All-Might!
This was a secret weapon to kill All-Might, and naturally, it was fucking strong!
That blow... he might be able to see Nomu's fist clearly with his eyes, but he knew that it would be impossible for him to catch it unless he used his ability.
However, in this battle, he definitely wouldn't use his ability no matter what. He looked in the direction where Aizawa was blown away and could see that his chest was moving, which made him sigh in relief since he knew Aizawa was still alive. However, he knew that he didn't have time to think about others when the crisis was about to appear in front of him.
As for No. 13, he knew this woman wasn't in a position to fight anymore. It was already amazing that she had decided to use her "Quirk" on Nomu, but the thought of killing this villain had never crossed her mind.
He also didn't expect her to do so and only hoped that she could buy time for All-Might and the school staff to come, yet the greater the hope was, the greater the disappointment was.
'Where the fuck is All-Might or the school staff?!'
He wanted to curse them somehow.
On the other hand, Mina's teeth chattered, feeling scared by Nomu, but she approached No. 13 and asked, "Sensei, are you alright?"
"Ye-Yes..." No. 13 plopped on the ground, and her entire body was still shaking in fear, but as a hero, it was impossible for her to show fear since she had to help everyone.
"Mina! Ojiro! Go and help No. 13-sensei!"
"Oh!"
"Yes!"
The two helped No.13 to stand up.
"Sato! Kodai! Please help Sensei to evacuate since—"
He knew he had to bring everyone to evacuate since No. 13 wasn't in the position to do so, but suddenly the earth trembled.
"Wh-What is this...?!" Mina was scared.
"Don't tell me..." Bakugou looked at Nomu with a dazed expression, and his body trembled subconsciously. Todoroki's power had already made his heart lose, but Nomu's power gave him a helpless feeling. 'What the hell can I do?!' He was frustrated by how useless he was.
Then, suddenly they heard a cracking sound. It was faint, but slowly many started to notice the crack in the massive iceberg created by Todoroki.
"The-The ice cracks!"
"Wh-What?! Then, this monster is going to escape?"
"Are we going to get killed?"
".........."
Everyone was at a loss, and they were dominated by fear.
When everyone was in despair, Midoriya clenched his fists, thinking about what All-Might would do in this situation.
If Mineta knew what Midoriya was thinking, he would say that All-Might would beat this villain directly. There was no need to think too much about what that meathead was going to do.
"Minoru-kun, what should we do?"
Suddenly, Tsuyu looked at Mineta and asked.
When her voice fell, everyone also looked in his direction.
He could feel that everyone put their hopes in him. Even No. 13 was the same.
After all, he was the one who reminded Todoroki to use his power.
Some also noted that many of Aizawas's decisions were affected by Mineta.
Lastly, out of everyone, he was the most reliable.
They were all looking at him and hoped that he could find a way to solve their adversity.
If he wanted to use his power, it would be too easy for him to handle this problem.
However, he had made up his mind that he wouldn't use his ability no matter what until he was sure of everything.
The cracking sound was like the timer of a time bomb.
Once the timer finished, it would explode and kill all of them.
Yet they could do nothing and stared in his direction, hoping he could find a solution.
He sighed helplessly since he didn't want to command them and just wanted to stay away from this trouble. Yet when he saw how useless No. 13 was, he knew he could only do this by himself.
Everyone, who saw him, could see that his eyes contained many emotions, but those eyes made them restless, wondering whether their situation was already helpless.
"I have a plan."
Suddenly, he said.
"What's the plan?" Mina quickly asked.
Everyone also looked at him excitedly and with hopeful expressions.
He looked in the direction of the only person that could save everyone from this predicament.
"Sorry for giving you this heavy task, but you're the only one who can save all of us now."
Along with those words, everyone looked in the direction of their savior.
