The students who were hiding were paralyzed with fear. The presence of the villains, especially All For One, filled them with a desperation they had never known.
Watching the pro heroes struggle and get hurt only deepened their helplessness. They wanted to move, to help, but their bodies wouldn't obey.
Izuku, Momo, Tenya, Todoroki and Kirishima, all just stood there and couldn't do shit.
But that was when they all heard a sound they were very familiar with.
The unmistakable, rhythmic pounding of a heart beating, there is only one person who has this kind of heartbeat. It was a sound they all recognized. Only one person had that kind of heartbeat when he was ready to fight.
All For One, towering over the battered heroes, prepared to deliver a killing blow to Best Jeanist. It was very easy for him to kill someone like Best Jeanist.
Just as All For One's attack was about to land, the sound of that heartbeat grew louder, finally, the big bad villain noticed this sound.
Only after the debate subsided that AFO realized that this attack didn't connect. A young hero with blue hair, eyes glowing with intensity, and blue lightning crackling around him was holding Best Jeanist in his hands as he grabbed the hero and protected him.
"Yo, I was looking for a blond kid with an ugly ass face and explosive personality, seem him anywhere, he is my age, just tone down the handsomeness level, ring any bells," Yuta said casually though the tense expression on his face was betraying his act.
"THAT IDIOT". Almost all of his classmates almost facepalm at this entry.
"We have to save him."
"No one minute, maybe him coming is for the best. Remember although he might be our classmate and class representative, but he is also the student who beat All Might. And I mean really beat All Might.
Until the heroes come here, he is the only one who can hold that villain back."
Izuku and others talk with hush voices, the presence of Yuta finally giving them a little hope but at the same time, they feel incompetent upon seeing how Yuta move and even saves Best Jeanist when they themselves can't.
All For One's eyes narrowed. "Ah, you are the one Shigaraki told me about?" he sneered. "I can tell that you don't have One For All in you. Though it has similar power. It's strange how your quirk is so similar to his. If not for the fact that there exists another who All Might have chosen as his successor, I might have really considered you the next bearer of One For All" AFO said with curiosity in his tone, and the fact he could just tell that what Yuta has was similar to OFA yet different was frightening.
Just what kind of insight one has to have to do that?
Yuta's heart pounded in his ears, each beat making his blood pump faster, making him stronger and burning the limited amount of hero time he had for today. He saved as much as possible but that wasn't to fight the main villain, he came to just save Bakugo just like the system demanded of him.
Quest Update: A Friend In Need > Hero's In Need
Main Quest: Be the Hero and save everyone
What kind of bullshit this has to be, that he now has to save everyone. But what else he can do?
Another thing which made him feel like giving up the quest for the first time was the man standing him. He knew the man was the main villain.
He focused, channelling One For All at 60% with the help of his King's Engine. The blue lightning around him intensified, sparking with raw power. He knew he had to act fast to protect the heroes and buy them some time.
Sharingan came to life, making his Hero Time consumption peak at 3x faster.
With a burst of speed, Yuta dashed towards All For One, his fist aimed straight at the villain's chest.
The punch was powerful, and Yuta thanks to the amount of OFA he was using plus Soru, even was faster than All Might.
So the attack actually connected, pushing All For One staggering back, and for a second even the man himself was surprised at how fast Yuta was.
But that speed is pointless when the attack itself is not strong enough. All For One has survived All Might full-power punches many times, so a mere 60% punch was nothing to him. With just a few quirk enhancements he could endure it.
Yuta clenched his jaw, just seeing how the same punch which turn Mulcular into noddles was rendered useless so easily against the man.
"Impressive," All For One admitted, "but not enough."
The villain retaliated with a powerful swipe, but Yuta was ready. He dodged with agility, both Sharingan and Spider sense working overtime, his movements precise and calculated. Each heartbeat echoed in his mind, guiding his actions. He knew he couldn't afford to let fear or doubt creep in.
Yuta countered with a series of rapid punches, each one crackling with the energy of One For All.
However, Yuta could feel that All For One was not taking him seriously. But that was fine, with a quick glance he could see Best Jeanist taking out all the down heroes out of there.
4th ranked hero he might be but he knew that he couldn't handle the villain in front of him. He also realized who the kid who saved him was.
This was the winner of the sports festival, from class 1 A.
And to the surprise of him and everyone present there, Yuta was actually holding back All For One, although just barely.
Best Jeanist knew that the child wouldn't last long and that was when he was about to ask for help from the heroes on the other side who decided to raid the main base of the villains.
Unfortunately, that was when Best Jeanist saw this.
Multiple portals open up and from there and villains come out of it, villains who slip out of All Might and others' hands just a few seconds ago.
Shigaraki, Kurogiri and many more. And with them was one more person. This person was none other than the boy who they all worked so hard to save. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelꜰire.net
Yuta upon seeing this suddenly realized something, ' He was not just fighting me but also was using his quirk to bring all of them here.'
DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DU MDU MDUM DUM DUM...
Suddenly the beating heart intensifies. Was it fear or the fighting spirit? Yuta wasn't sure but he knew that he had to save others.
"Hey old man, don't bring others into this fight. Fight me fair and square." Yuta said, making an amused grin appear on AFO's face, though it was hidden under the mask he was wearing.
The hiding students watched in awe, their fear momentarily forgotten. Yuta's bravery reignited their own courage. They saw in him the hero they all aspired to be. An idiot hero but a HERO nonetheless.
Another thing which made them excited was that they finally spotted Bakugo there.
That was when Best Jeanist also listened to Aizawa's message that they lost both Bakugo and the villains. Asking for area coverage. Of course, Best Jeanist immediately call out for their location.
Still recovering, managed to stand. "Yuta, no Dynamic that is your Hero Name right?
Leave Bakugo's safety and the rest of the villains to us, just try to hold up that guy. All Might be here soon. I am sorry to ask this from a student but currently, you are the only one who can stop him. Just a few minutes." he called out, his voice filled with helplessness, as a hero he had to ask for a student's help, that was demeaning but there was no other way.
None of the current heroes were a match for that guy, they knew it. They all also knew about Yuta. A student who even beat All Might. And though they knew that All Might would hold back but to put the number one hero in a hospital bed.
Yuta is the only one who can handle that guy until at least All Might get here.
"We'll back you up. Just hold on!"
Yuta took a deep breath, feeling the surge of energy from his King's Engine. He knew this was his moment. Channelling every ounce of strength, he launched himself at All For One, all he had to do was to stop the man for a few minutes. He can do that.
'Tempest Kick', impact sent the villain crashing into the ground, creating a crater with the force.
But AFO was unharmed, though even the tempest kick by now has gotten stronger a lot by OFA 60%.
"Tch, you are annoying," Yuta said as he saw AFO getting up from the crater and casually dusting himself off.
On the other side, all the rest of the heroes went after the recently teleported villains, even Bakugo went ahead and fought with the villains.
Other students who were hiding like Izuku and Tenya now could only hide and watch the show.
The situation was like it that if they came out right now then not only they will be scolded for going after Bakugo by themselves, putting them in danger, but it will also show that in the time of need, they stood back, hide and didn't act.
Yuta did what they couldn't.
