-Who do you think will win? - Uraraka asked curiously.
-Hm, I think it depends on whether Mina's acid can handle Tetsumaru's strange sand- Kirishima said thoughtfully.
Everyone started to reflect, even Todoroki and Bakugo, and realized an important element: They knew nothing about the Terumi siblings.
-Now that I think about it... What can he do with that sand? It's clearly strong enough to lift him off the ground, other than that, we haven't seen him use it for anything else- Tokoyami said.
-Don't forget Mei-san. Does anyone know what her quirk is? - Uraraka asked again, causing the rest of the class to think carefully again. In fact, Mei hadn't revealed her water element.
-To answer your question, her quirk is called Suiton. It allows her to release water from the palms of her hands- Aizawa informed, getting up from his sleeping bag to properly observe this confrontation.
-Huh? - some gasped at their sensei's words.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the screens, the figures of Mei and Tetsumaru stood, waiting for the signal that would start their battle.
The girl with reddish-brown hair and blue dress was doing some stretches, her garment opening slightly in the chest area, which excited Denki and Mineta.
Finally, the signal arrived and both Mina and Aoyama set off on their search. At the same time, a decent amount of Satetsu came out of Tetsumaru's palms.
Without saying a single word, at least that's what it seemed to the onlookers, Terumi Mei confidently stepped out of the room, a wall of Satetsu blocking the door once she left, leaving Tetsumaru and the nuclear weapon locked inside.
-W-what is she doing? Is she planning to leave the whole fight to Mei? - questioned Tsuyu. Kirishima crossed his arms and shook his head.
-That's not manly, man- he sighed in disappointment. -How can you let a girl, and your sister at that, face the danger alone?
Immediately after, the girls in the class frowned and stared at him.
In the training area, Mina managed to glimpse a speck of reddish-brown hair disappearing through a window on the second floor of a building and smiled.
She signaled her partner and both quickly entered.
-Mei-san has great physical capacity. Don't lower your guard, Aoyama, or she'll knock you out right away- she warned the blonde.
They sharpened their hearing, but it didn't seem like their opponent was going to descend any more floors. So, they decided to go up.
Nothing on the first floor. They continued their way through a long corridor. It was at that moment that Mei's figure turned the corner and stopped several meters from the duo.
-Oh? No need to be so cautious, guys - she said with her usual mysterious and flirtatious smile.
Her calm demeanor in the situation of being numerically disadvantaged made Mina frown. She cast a side glance at Aoyama, who wiggled his hips and fired his naval laser.
Mei jumped and spun in the air, her feet touching the ceiling and clinging to it with the help of chakra.
-I'm sorry, but you won't pass- she calmly informed as she extended her hand in their direction, pointing with two fingers and her thumb up, as if forming an imaginary pistol.
A trick she achieved not by imitating the technique of a certain dead Mizukage, but thanks to her training and the unusual water control granted to her by that Deity.
She extracted a fistful of water from her seal and condensed it into a smaller ball on the tip of her two fingers. And then she fired, the water projectile traveling at high speed. Enough to cause damage, but not so much as to be lethal.
Aoyama took the ball of water to the stomach and the air left his lungs, his eyes wide. He couldn't react in time due to the dizzying speed of the shot.
Mina clicked her tongue and ran forward. She skillfully dodged the balls of water, which Mei was purposely firing in slow succession, barely one shot every second. She could do it faster and more lethal, but there was no point in doing it here.
The pink-skinned and pink-haired girl managed to get close enough to fire a non-lethal stream of her acid. Mei backed away and rounded the corner to shield herself from Mina's attack.
-It seems like she can't do much with her water quirk. That would explain her focus on the physical aspect... But that ability to walk on the ceiling still doesn't make sense- Aizawa analyzed. An instant later, he retracted his thoughts.
On the screens, Mei's figure opened her hand and pointed to the corner where Mina was about to approach. A large amount of water shot out, flooding the hallway up to neck height.
Mina was surprised by the torrent of water and was pushed backward. Fortunately, Mei did not allow the current to be too intense, so the girl didn't take a hard hit or anything. It just became difficult for her to move forward.
-Aoyama!- she called out to her partner. An instant later, Aoyama's figure passed by her, backwards, being propelled over the water by his navel laser.
That was a mistake.
Advancing past Mina, Mei rounded the corner again at great speed, walking on the water as if it were solid ground, and grabbed Aoyama by the back of the neck.
"What!?" everyone in the observation room exclaimed.
Mei stopped channeling the torrent of water, and it gradually subsided. Her iron grip prevented Aoyama from being able to act, his frontal attack now aimed at Mina. For her part, Mina couldn't attack with her quirk, or she would hurt Aoyama.
They were at a stalemate.
-Now, hero. Surrender, or I break his neck - the girl said to Mina, freezing everyone, both those present and those watching from the cameras.
-W-what are you...? - Mina didn't know how to respond. Mei smiled sweetly, but that smile sent a chill down the backs of some students.
-I'm saying, either you abandon your teammate and try to get past me, or you surrender and I spare his life. Oh, by the way. Even if you get past me, Tetsumaru is still upstairs. But choose fast, or the bomb will explode and the civilians will die- the kunoichi announced, playing the role of the villain.
Mina's expression turned perplexed. She couldn't help but think that, if the situation were real, she would be in a very big jam.
For several seconds, none of the three moved or said a word. In the observation room, the students seriously analyzed the situation, putting themselves in Mina's shoes and finding it very terrifying.
What should be done in such a case? Some of them wondered.
Before Mina could make a decision, a cloud of a dark material approached at great speed from behind her, wrapping around her legs, her wrists, and her neck.
Once again, the observers were impressed. At some point, Tetsumaru had descended to ground level and ambushed the heroes from behind.
-The Villains win! - All Might announced.
