Chapter 18 - Chapter 17: First Test of Heroism (1/3)

After a few minutes where the roulette wheel where All Might was, the members of class 1b began to form the villain team, leaving Manga Fukidashi, Sen Kaibara, Yui Kodai, Jurota Shishida and Tsuburaba Kosei. The hero team was next, leaving Kojiro Bondo, Hiryu Rin, Ibara Shiozaki, Kinoko Komori and me.

After giving the villain team the dolls that represented them, they went directly to the marked area while my team and I met at the entrance of the field with about twenty minutes for each team to prepare.

-Well, since it's the first time we're talking to each other, I think it's best that we introduce ourselves with a brief description of our quirk and how we can use it - I said as I took the map of the area and we headed to the entrance - I'll start, my name is Shinzen and my quirk is dream sand. I can create and manipulate a special sand with which I can imitate some materials. I'm good at defense and support in most situations, although my offensive movements are also important to take into account.

-My name is Kojiro Bondo and my quirk allows me to create a glue-like substance through the holes in my head that hardens quickly. I also have a good physical condition and my quirk can be used to defend or capture enemies - said Bondo, being the first to introduce himself of everyone.

-My name is Hiryu Rin and my quirk allows me to create scales that increase my defensive and offensive qualities. I'm good at fighting at close range, although I can use my scales as projectiles at medium distances - said Hiryu Rin in a calm tone.

- My name is Ibara Shiozaki and my quirk allows me to create vines with my hair that I can use to attack or defend – Ibara said with a brief introduction of herself, which I didn't mind when I remembered how she used her quirk in the anime.

- My name is Kinoko Komori and my quirk allows me to create spores that if subjected to moisture allow mushrooms to grow on any surface – Kinoko said with a slightly contrasting tone when she used her quirk in the 1st class confrontation in the anime.

- Well, I think I have a plan – I said as we arrived at the entrance of the field and I spread the map on the floor.

The area that had been marked had a large mountain in the center around a large expanse of trees that left many possible places where the villain team could locate the civilians.

-This is an area where we are not really clear about where exactly the villains or the civilians we have to rescue will be - I said while pointing at the mountain - although this place would be ideal, since it may contain caves or a path that reaches the top, it is a possible trap where they are located somewhere else and we waste time getting there, although we should not rule out possibilities.

-That is why the main thing we should do is divide ourselves to surround the area around the mountain as quickly as possible - I said while with a marker I divided the area around the mountain into four sectors - considering our quirks, the best thing is that with my quirk I register two sectors while in pairs to reduce the time each one registers an area, after that we will surround the mountain in search of entrances to identify where they could have taken the civilians - I said while marking the areas in four numbers.

-I'll take the two furthest ones- I said pointing at the two located north of the entrance requiring me to use my quirk to travel further distance- I'll divide Bondo and Shiozaki in the left sector, while Komori and Rin will go to the right.

-We'll communicate with this- I said taking out three intercoms that I gave one to Ibara and another to Rin- once you clear the area around notify them and after observing around the mountain notify them, although if you happen to see any of the villains notify them before entering into combat.

-If you come across any of the villains, look around first to make sure he doesn't have any companions. If he does happen to be alone, make sure to capture him as quickly as possible and split up so that one of you can take him out of the field and the other regroup before going back into action - I said, pointing out the precautions we should take - in case he is accompanied, ask for reinforcements and try to get away while waiting, although if you have to go into combat, send a flare - I said, taking out two flare guns that I threw at the two groups.

-If you find the place where the civilians are, wait and notify them so we can regroup and make a plan where we can neutralize the villains or, failing that, save the civilians - I said as I finished giving the instructions.

-Well, I think I understood everything - said Rin while the others nodded in understanding of my plan.

The test, apart from giving us 20 minutes to prepare, lasted 40 minutes, but the problem was the task of identifying the heroes, which could limit their time for the test if they did not quickly find the villains or, failing that, the civilians.

But we could not immediately attack the villains once we discovered where the civilians were, because the civilians could be hurt in the crossfire or they could cheat and end up neutralizing one of us.
