Chapter 66

All Might hauls the boys to Recovery Girl's tent, and she scolds him for showing so little restraint. She wants both sent back to campus, but Izuku Midoriya, awake and mended, asks to stay and study the remaining bouts. She allows it. Carrying an unconscious Katsuki Bakugo out, All Might reflects that Izuku will grow into something extraordinary, and that a wall in front of Katsuki only makes him laugh.

Recovery Girl reads the pairings aloud. Fumikage Tokoyami has a fragile defense and buckles under numbers, while Tsuyu Asui keeps her head under pressure and can steady him enough to fight at full strength. Izuku agrees, recalling how level she stayed at the U.S.J. Ectoplasm's copies duly swamp Fumikage until Tsuyu's tongue swats one aside. The two break past and reach the gate, where the original waits, complimenting the run and asking what they will do about his next move. Giant Bite Detention produces an enormous clone that chomps down and traps them both. Fumikage sends Dark Shadow ahead as the last route to victory, and Ectoplasm kicks it away. Tsuyu tells her partner not to look while she brings something back up, and Dark Shadow collects it. When its claw strikes and Ectoplasm blocks with a kick, a handcuff closes on his leg. Tsuyu had swallowed and stored it, her stomach doubling as a container, and the desperate handoff clears the exam.

Elsewhere Denki Kaminari and Mina Ashido flounder against Nezu, who steers a wrecking ball to seal every road to the exit while sipping tea and calling the decisions elementary. Neither has noticed, which sets him cackling. Recovery Girl notes that humans abused him long ago, and battle brings out who he really is.

Then the sound problem. Kyoka Jiro and Koji Koda inch closer, but she knows Present Mic will be planted at the gate and no route avoids a standoff. His voice pins them. Spotting an ant, Kyoka asks whether Koji can command bugs, and his horrified face answers. Her own heartbeat, read through her Earphone Jacks, does nothing. Out of ideas she asks again, he confirms, and she cracks a rock open to reveal dozens of insects. She acknowledges the phobia and says nothing else works against an opponent this strong. Seeing her ears bleeding, Koji decides that fleeing this is the one thing that could end his time at U.A., steadies himself and sends the swarm. At the gate, with time nearly gone, Present Mic finds insects crawling over him, arrived underground where sound could not reach. Fear freezes him, and Koji carries the injured Kyoka through to pass.

Izuku is glad to see classmates clearing one by one, until Recovery Girl points out that Minoru Mineta is running away.

Recovery Girl treats Izuku and Katsuki. Izuku stays in the tent to observe the remaining battles on the monitors while All Might carries the unconscious Katsuki away.

Tsuyu Asui and Fumikage Tokoyami win by cuffing Ectoplasm with a handcuff Tsuyu had stored in her stomach and passed to Dark Shadow.

The Kaminari and Ashido match against Nezu begins, showcasing his High Spec Quirk as he triggers chain reactions that wall off every path to the exit.

Kyoka Jiro and Koji Koda beat Present Mic with insects, which travel underground beyond his Voice. Koji overcomes his fear of bugs and the pair escape.
