Seeing Kaminari's fident smile, Jiro felt a bit flustered. But beside her, Tetsutetsu stomped his foot, raised his ched fists, and fshed a fierce grin.
"Well, since you said so… let's do this!!"
At that moment, Tetsutetsu looked undeniably cool.
"Jiro?" Kaminari grinned as he bumped fists with Tetsutetsu, then turo Jiro.
"What do you want to do?" Jiro asked, curling her lips in mock irritation.
Her response made both Kaminari aetsu smirk with satisfa. In that moment, they khey could trust her. Jiro was no longer just a cssmate; she was a teammate.
Real partners aren't formed by words alone, but through shared efforts and as. And when you truly ect with someohere's always a bit of reality that es into py. No matter how passionate or idealistic your dreams may be, they o be grounded in the real world.
"Alright, first thing!" Kaminari said, his smile fading into a more serious expression. He focused oask at hand, but theuro Jiro and asked something that left her puzzled.
"You have a music pyer on yht?"
At this point, the massive 'Zero Pointer' robot was less than sixty meters away, its sheer size dispg dust and debris as it crushed the surrounding buildings.
"Yeah… why?" Jiro replied, clearly fused.
"Wheime es, cue up "Only My Railgun", set it to loop, and k the volume to max," Kaminari said, pletely serious.
"..." Jiro.
"..." Tetsutetsu.
Back at U.A. High School, the heroes and teachers, still reeling from the spectaidoriya's one-punch takedown of the Zero Pointer in Area B were left speechless once again by Kaminari's odd request.
"Uh… why?" Tetsutetsu asked, dumbfounded. Pying music at full volume during an emergency like this? He couldn't his head around Kaminari's reasoning.
"BGM! You 't have a moment this epic without an equally epic battle song! It's gotta get everyone hyped!" Kaminari expined, waving his hand as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Alright, let's focus on what we o do ."
"..."
Jiro aetsu exged resigned gnces, choosing not tue. They simply nodded, ready to follow Kaminari's lead. After all, whatever weird ideas he had, they knew he had a pn. Ten seds ter, they sprang into a.
Sihe 'high-speed boost' on Jiro aetsu had worn off, Kaminari quickly recharged them with another jolt of electricity, just in case things went south. It would ehey had enough mobility to escape if necessary.
Now, for the strategy.
Jiro detached her headphone jack from her ear a up the music, despite thinking Kaminari's request was absurd. Meanwhile, Kaminari aetsu, now glowing with goldericity, dashed into a nearby building, rag up the stairwell at lightning speed.
As for the elevator? Please like that could keep up with them.
"Kaminari, why'd you say this ultimate move you're pnning only has a 50% ce of success?" Tetsutetsu asked as they rushed up the stairs.
"Because it's huge. I've never faced anything this big before..."
"..."
Tetsutetsu fell silent, unsure if Kaminari meant to say that in such a weird way. Thankfully, they reached the top floor before he had time to question it further. Only a flimsy iron door stood between them and the rooftop.
"Boom!"
Tetsutetsu kicked the door off its hinges with ease, and they stepped onto the spacious rooftop. Ahead of them, the colossal Zero Pointer robot lumbered forward, unstoppable.
"Liberatiohe dream engraved in your heart!"
"I won't eveate to leave the future behind!"
"Ighe meaningless, so-called limits!"
Below, Jiro had started the music, the familiar lyrics of "Only My Railgun" eg in the distahough the volume wasn't deafening from this height, it was enough to get Kaminari's blood pumping. His heightened physical sehanks to his Quirk, made the song crystal clear.
Kaminari's excitement surged. For the first time, he could experiehe kind of climactic, BGM-fueled moment that anime protagonists got to enjoy.
"Here we go, Tetsutetsu!"
"Right behind you!"
With a loud tearing sound, Tetsutetsu activated his Quirk, ripping off the remnants of his upper clothing. His steel body gleamed in the sunlight as he took his p front of Kaminari.
"Bring it on!"
Meanwhile, down below, Jiro was carrying out her part of the pn. She stood dangerously close to the crumbling wreckage caused by the Zero Pointer's rampage, as ks of debris fell around her. But ed in Kaminari's golden current, she showed no fear. Instead, she focused, extending her headphone jack toward the ground.
Then, with precise timing, she activated her Quirk.
The amplified sound of her heartbeat, multiplied tenfold, surged through her headphone jad into the ground. The result was immediate.
"Crack—CRACK—"
"BOOM!"
The ground in front of Jiro shattered in a fan-like pattern, the solid crete reduced to rubble in seds.
"Not enough!" Jiro gritted her teeth. She knew her job wasn't just to destroy the ground but to slow down the Zero Pointer as much as possible, giving Kaminari aetsu time to set up their attack.
Without hesitation, she darted forward, dodging the falling debris with her boosted speed. She positioned herself just teers ahead of the giant robot, dangerously close.
At this distance, Jiro could feel the ground tremblih her feet as the t mae approached. The teachers monit the situatioense. With U.A.'s 'Recirl' in Area B, any injuries Jiro suffered here might not get immediate treatment.
"There are only three minutes left in the exam!!"
Present Mic's voice suddenly echoed across the exam site. At the same time, "Only My Railgun" reached its climax.
"Lookin'!"
"The blitz loops this po search a way!"
"Only my RAILGUN shoot it—"
"Right now!"
On the rooftop, a beam of dazzling golden light burst from Kaminari's location. It tore through the air, a brilliant streak of electricity arg toward the Zero Pointer.
Jiro, the U.A. teachers, and all the didates in Area C who hadn't already fled watched in awe as the beam sliced through the massive robot like it was made of paper. The golden light struck the Zero Pointer's trol ter with pinpoint accuracy, pierg through its core.
"Super—SUPER! ELECTRIC! MAGIC! GUN!!"
Kaminari's triumphant roar echoed louder than the explosion that followed. As fire and lightning engulfed the giant robot, Kaminari stood on the rooftop, his blonde hair blowing in the wind, looking every bit the hero he aspired to be.
Well, except for the part where Tetsutetsu was unched off the rooftop in the process...
