Chapter 17

The Ruins Zone empties fast. Katsuki Bakugo and Eijiro Kirishima flatten the villains posted there, and Katsuki writes the whole group off as beneath him. Eijiro pushes for a rescue run toward their classmates, but Katsuki has a different target: Kurogiri. Every villain in the building arrived through that warp, so taking him apart would strand the League of Villains where they stand. A straggler tries a cheap shot from behind and eats an explosion for it. Eijiro reads the exchange as sheer manliness and falls in behind him.

Near the exit, Tenya Ida is one sprint from open ground when Kurogiri slides into his path again. Ochaco Uraraka has worked out that the metal plates ringing the mist are anchored to a real body, so she seizes them and cancels their weight, hauling Kurogiri skyward. Tenya clears the doors and burns off toward U.A. Dumped in the air, Kurogiri warps out to bring Tomura Shigaraki the news.

In the Central Plaza the Nomu keeps a battered Shota Aizawa pinned. Kurogiri reports Thirteen down but admits a student slipped away, which sours Tomura's mood at once. A student loose means professionals inbound in numbers the League cannot answer, so he calls the retreat. Then he spots Izuku Midoriya, Tsuyu Asui and Minoru Mineta and decides the Symbol of Peace's pride is worth one last dent. His hand closes over Tsuyu's face and nothing decays: Shota spends what he has left nullifying the Quirk before the Nomu crushes him down again. Izuku's counterpunch lands on the Nomu instead and accomplishes nothing, though he notes with interest that his arm held together. A short scramble follows, and then the doors blow inward. All Might stands in the entrance telling the room its fear is over, and Class 1-A lights up. Tomura decides the mission continues.

Katsuki and Eijiro clear the Ruins Zone as a pair, then choose to hunt Kurogiri rather than regroup with the class.

Ochaco and Hanta Sero work together to break Kurogiri's hold on the exit so Tenya can escape and reach the school.

Izuku regulates his output well enough that punching the Nomu does not shatter his arm.

All Might reaches the Unforeseen Simulation Joint.
