With a gentle smile still on his face, Lock pressed Baloo's head down and said calmly,
"Teacher No. 13, please don't pay attention to her nonsense."
"O-Okay… okay…"
No. 13's voice was clearly flustered. She didn't know why, but just standing there made her feel overwhelmed.
Lock sighed inwardly.
Ever since the Eclipse Gate incident, Baloo had completely fallen down the wrong path.
Now that he was her master, she had gone all-in on this strange tendency—and she definitely said those things on purpose.
"More importantly," Lock said seriously, changing the subject, "we need to confirm the students' safety."
The moment he said that, No. 13's expression also turned solemn.
Lock nodded, softly chanting a spell.
Dragon wings spread out behind his back.
With a powerful flap, he rose into the air, overlooking the entire USJ disaster simulation site.
With a dragon's physique, Lock's eyesight was terrifyingly sharp—far beyond any eagle's.
The USJ was divided into six areas:
the earthquake-collapse zone, sand zone, mountain zone, fire zone, flood zone, storm zone, and the central area where Aizawa Shouta was fighting.
Earthquake-collapse zone.
Lock saw Bakugo Katsuki and Kirishima Eijiro, apparently teleported into a tilted building.
Villains lay unconscious on the ground, walls, and windows.
"As expected," Lock murmured. "Even with enhancement drugs, those fodder villains aren't a match for Bakugo."
Sand zone.
Shoto Todoroki, Hagakure Toru, and Aoyama Yuga were there.
The entire area was frozen solid—every villain encased in ice.
No issues.
Mountain zone.
Lock spotted Jiro Kyoka, Yaoyorozu Momo, and Kaminari Denki at the mountain peak.
"With Kyoka's lightning magic, cleaning up should be easy…"
"But accidents are still possible."
Lock frowned slightly and made a decision.
Flood zone.
Midoriya Izuku, Asui Tsuyu, and Minoru Mineta were trapped on a boat, surrounded by villains.
But Lock knew—
With Midoriya's tactics, they would solve it together.
Storm zone.
Tokoyami Fumikage and several quieter classmates were there.
Dark Shadow completely enveloped Tokoyami's body like armor, blending perfectly with the stormy darkness.
His strength had skyrocketed after Lock's guidance.
No concern there.
Fire zone.
Ojiro Mashirao was struggling, using his tail to leap and evade attacks.
"Support needed."
Lock flapped his wings and descended smoothly.
"Teacher No. 13," Lock said decisively, "please support the fire zone."
Even though he was a student and she was a teacher, No. 13 didn't hesitate at all—she trusted Lock completely and rushed off.
"Baloo," Lock continued, "go to the mountain zone. Support Kyoka."
He briefly pointed out the location.
"Understood, Master."
Baloo nodded respectfully, sinking into the ground with earth magic and heading toward the mountain zone.
Finally, Lock landed near the emergency exit, stepping onto the stair platform leading toward the central area.
He looked up.
In the center of the USJ, Aizawa Shouta was still fighting alone.
Lock's eyes narrowed.
Now—
It was time for him to join the battle.
