Chapter 379: Momo and the Nomu!

Elsewhere, the team composed of Momo, Aoyama Yuga, and Awase Yosetsu from Class B had just located several Class B students hiding in the forest.

Among them were those who had lost consciousness due to the poisonous gas, like Shiozaki, as well as some who had quickly noticed the abnormality and managed to cover their mouths and noses in time.

For example, Class B's class representative Kendo Itsuka, the international student Pony Tsunotori from the United States, and Lin Feilong, an international student from China, along with several others.

Thanks to the students who were still conscious, Momo and the others felt significantly less pressure. After all, if everyone had been unconscious, transporting them back to the facility would have been a serious problem.

At this moment, two rows of boys and girls, all wearing gas masks, were lying on the damp ground.

"There shouldn't be any more groups left," Aoyama Yuga said, exhausted and sweating as he looked at the others.

Kendo nodded. "Yeah, just Kamakiri, Yanagi Reiko, and the others are left."

Meanwhile, Momo was examining the surrounding trees. A sharp glint of thought flashed in her eyes.

She quickly turned around and said to the group, "Aoyama and I will head to Yanagi Reiko's group next. But before we go, I want to tell you a way to transport all the unconscious students back to the facility!"

"You have a plan?" Kendo looked at Momo in surprise, then smiled. "As expected of the class genius. I was just thinking about lifting them manually with Pony and the others. What a dumb idea."

Her original plan was straightforward. Her Quirk, "Big Fist," allowed her to enlarge her hands, boosting her strength several times over. Pony's Quirk, "Horn Cannon," allowed her to launch and control up to four horns at once.

With each of them carrying one person, plus four more on Pony's horns, another on Lin Feilong's back, and one on Awase's, they could evacuate eight students at once. With two trips, they could carry everyone out.

But since Momo said she had a plan, it had to be better. Kendo was more than willing to defer to her.

"I'll create some woodworking tools and also draw up blueprints for simple wooden carts. While Aoyama and I go find Reiko, please use the trees around here to build enough carts as quickly as possible!"

As she spoke, Momo activated her Quirk, producing saws, rulers, nails, and other tools from her arms.

"But... we don't know how to do carpentry. We've never made a cart before. It sounds simple, but without experience, we'll definitely mess it up," Kendo and Pony said, exchanging a helpless glance.

"I can!"

At that moment, Awase Yosetsu stepped forward. Seeing him, Momo smiled.

"Yes. I thought of this plan because Awase previously mentioned that, due to his family background and his welding Quirk, he's very skilled in this kind of work."

"That's right!"

Awase's eyes were serious. He wouldn't joke around when it came to the safety of his classmates.

"If I want to use my Quirk to become a pro hero, I need to be skilled in using tools and welding to quickly restrain villains. So as long as I have the right tools, building a cart is easy for me."

Lin Feilong, who had been silent, spoke up. "In other words, our job is to collect enough wooden boards, wheels, and axles according to the blueprints."

"Exactly. And you won't be doing it alone. I'll help too. Making boards and wheels is no easy task for amateurs," Awase replied, confidence on his face.

"I see. Using me, Pony, and Lin Feilong's Quirks to quickly cut trees, then relying on Awase's skills... it's totally doable!" Kendo said thoughtfully.

"But Momo, why not just create the carts yourself?" Pony asked, puzzled.

"Because the fat in my body is limited. And now that we're under attack by villains, if I use up too much here, I won't be able to handle emergencies later."

"If it were just one or two carts, it wouldn't be a big deal. But there are over ten unconscious people."

"Plus, the forest environment limits the cart size. If they're too big, they won't fit between the trees. That means we need to make several smaller carts," Momo quickly explained.

She had one more unspoken reason: since Class B students had the ability to construct these themselves, they should use their Quirks and skills instead of relying on her to solve everything.

She was happy to help, but only within reason. Everyone needed to take responsibility and be able to protect themselves.

With that, the discussion ended. Momo took Aoyama with her and rushed toward the last group's location, while Awase and the others picked up tools and began chopping down nearby trees.

"All Class A and B students! In the name of pro hero Eraser Head, you are now authorized to fight!"

"Repeat, all Class A and B students! In the name of pro hero Eraser Head, you are now authorized to fight!"

As Momo and Aoyama ran through the forest, Mandalay's voice suddenly echoed in her mind. The message made her heart tighten.

"So the situation really has gotten that bad..." With that thought, Momo shouted back to Aoyama, "Let's move faster!"

"Ah? Ah, okay!"

Panting, Aoyama replied. At this point, he had completely given up on thinking for himself. If Momo said it, he'd follow!

Just a hundred meters ahead, Kamakiri and Yanagi Reiko from Class B were being chased by a terrifying creature.

"Damn it, what even is this thing?!" Kamakiri growled through gritted teeth, using the blades protruding from his arms to block attacks from drills and chainsaws.

Clang!

With the sound of metal breaking, Kamakiri's expression darkened. This was already the fifth blade that had been shattered.

"What do we do, Kamakiri?!"

Yanagi Reiko used her Quirk, "Soul Body," to telekinetically control nearby rocks and fallen trees, launching them at the unnatural monster as she shouted in panic.

There weren't many large objects in the forest at first, but thanks to Kamakiri's evasive maneuvers, they had knocked down a good number of trees.

That meant more ammo for Reiko—essentially adding another layer to their fighting capability. It had to be said, Kamakiri's combat instincts lived up to his reputation as a future hero.

But unfortunately, they were facing a Nomu. This bio-engineered monster had multiple Quirks: machine creation, hardening, strength enhancement, and more. The gap between them was just too big.

"Raaahhh!"

As expected, Kamakiri eventually ran out of blades. They were all shattered, and he had no strength left to grow new ones.
