Chapter 185: Hopeless Grapes

  Momo's words made everyone fall silent. She had a point, how could anyone admitted to Japan's top hero academy be truly useless?

  Meanwhile, the sed group's round tinued on the big s. Predictably, the ones whled the most were Kirishima and Koda.

  Their performances weren't much different from someohout a Quirk. In this setting, they were practically "Quirkless."

  Koda was slightly better off, if he had an animal that could run, it might've helped. But Kirishima? His Quirk, Hardening, wasn't useful here. In fact, it only made things worse, as it slowed him down.

  "Looking at Kirishima's struggles, I bet Tetsutetsu is in the same boat, right?"

  Sero chuckled, shifting his gaze to Tetsutetsu's feed. But to his surprise, Tetsutetsu's speed didn't seem slow at all.

  "Wait… what's with his running speed?"

  On the s, Tetsutetsu was moving nimbly between industrial obstacles, leaping over pipes and structures like a traihlete. His movements were smooth and precise, almost like he'd undergone professional training.

  "It seems like Tetsutetsu picked up a few tricks from someone," Kaminari ented calmly, not looking surprised.

  Tetsutetsu's agility didn't shock Kaminari in the slightest. After all, someone who had trained in teiques like shave would naturally have str muscles than most. But the way Tetsutetsu navigated the obstacles—his fluid, military-like movements made Kaminari think he'd been practig more than just martial arts.

  "Besides judo and the six styles, maybe he's been dabbling in something like military drills too," Kaminari mused quietly.

  Just theetsu disappeared from the s. When the camera switched angles, he reappeared on a differeion of the field. This time, he was standing atop a rge steel pipe, several meters ahead of his previous position.

  "Whoa!!"

  The students in Css 1-A erupted in shock. Even Bakugo's eyes widened as he stared at the s.

  "What… what was that?"

  "Teleportation?" Tokoyami asked, his tone low and incredulous.

  "Does Tetsutetsu have a sed Quirk?!" Kyoka excimed in disbelief.

  "I've never heard of that before," Momo said, equally stunned. "Could it be a ret Quirk awakening? That's incredibly rare…"

  "That move…" Bakugo growled under his breath, g his fists. "That bastard used this same trick to dodge my Howitzer Impact! I should've known!"

  The rest of the css, however, was still lost iion. Kaminari, for his part, had no iion of expining. After all, the Six Styles were something he'd shared exclusively with Tetsutetsu.

  To Kaminari, the Six Styles were a personal gift to his close friend, a teique Tetsutetsu had earhrough their partnership.

  What's that? You think he's being selfish for keeping it to himself?

  Kaminari didn't care. It wasn't his job to act as a mentor for the whole css. Just because he knew something didn't mean he was obligated to teach it to everyone.

  That was why, aside from Tetsutetsu, Kyoka, Momo, and a select few, Kaminari had never shared his insights with others.

  Friendship and camaraderie were two very different things.

  Oher side of the field, All Might was also Tetsutetsu's teique with great i.

  To most people, Tetsutetsu's shave looked like teleportation. But to All Might, it was no faster than slow motion. He could clearly see every detail of the boy's movements.

  "You stomp the grouedly in a split sed, building up enough force to propel yourself forward with explosive momentum. What an ingenious teique…" All Might muttered to himself, genuinely impressed.

  Though such a move was child's py for someone of All Might's caliber, he couldn't deny its potential.

  "Even though Tetsutetsu uses his Quirk to hahe recoil, theoretically, ah suffit physical training could perform this move."

  "This… this isn't a Quirk. It's a skill—a teachable, learnable skill…"

  All Might stroked his thoughtfully. The idea of a teique like shave being widespread left him flicted.

  A skill that could rival Quirks simply through rigorous physical training… if this became publiowledge, it could cause chaos.

  Sure, mastering such a skill wouldn't be easy, but with enough people trying, some were bound to succeed. The potential societal impact was troubling.

  "Ugh, this is giving me a headache," All Might sighed, pg his hands on his hips as he tio watch Tetsutetsu race toward the finish line.

  "Are kids today just built differently? Ba my school days, there weren't this many monsters running around."

  His thoughts briefly drifted to Kaminari and Todoroki, two students whose power rivaled even sed-rate Pro Heroes. Their destructive potential was on par with top-tier Heroes, and they hadn't even graduated yet.

  "Well, I'll o discuss this with Aizawa ter. If necessary, we'll bring it up with the principal."

  Unbeknownst to Tetsutetsu, he'd just been added to All Might's list of students to "keep an eye on." Alongside Kaminari, he was now under special observation.

  If Tetsutetsu knew about this, he'd probably feel proud rather than worried.

  Soon, the results of the sed group were finalized.

  First pce: Minoru Mia. Surprised? So was everyone else.

  Sed pce: Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu. Despite mastering shave, he couldn't use it infinitely aually had to rely ur running. Still, he came close to catg Mia, who had been boung non-stop on his "grapes."

  Third pce: Shoji Mezo. His ability to glide gave him an edge, but his speed wasn't fast enough to secure a higher ranking.

  Fourth pce: Eijiro Kirishima. He didn't e in st, which was a testament to his athleticism aermination.

  Fifth pce: Koji Koda. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't keep up without a Quirk suited for mobility.

  When the rankings were announced, Mia instantly became the ter of attention. His face was lit with pride as he basked in the rare moment nition.

  Mia, dubbed "Grape Boy," was overjoyed by the girls in the css talking about him. For a moment, he felt like he was floating.

  "Yes! Hero work really does attract girls! I'm so close to making my dream e true!" he thought ecstatically.

  "Go to hell, pervert!"

  Kyoka, her ears sharp as ever, scowled in disgust when she overheard Mia's monologue.

  "Ah, sweet victory…!" Mia tinued, pletely oblivious to Kyoka's rea.

  Watg him lost in his fantasies, Kaminari and the others could only shake their heads in exasperation.

  "Yep… hopeless," Kaminari sighed.
