"Very good!"
Lancer evaluation made both Shoto Todoroki and Momo Yaoyorozu freeze, after all, no matter how they looked at it, Lancer evaluation didn't match Shoto Todoroki's result, but Lancer just smiled.
"Why do you think I made Jack your 'tester', Todoroki? It's not weak~ I can't even 'defeat' it in the true sense of the word."
That's right, Jack and the others may not have great strength due to their body structure, but their strong physique gave them a powerful life force and defensive power. Their years of hunting also gave them a reaction speed and eyesight that far surpassed that of an ordinary person. For example, even if Lancer went all out, he could at most defeat and seriously injure Jack and the others. It was almost impossible to truly kill them. And what about Shoto Todoroki?
An analogy with a game might make it easier to understand. His quirk gave him crushing stats like a pay-to-win player, but he had no PVP experience, while Jack was a skilled player. It was a very normal situation for him to be beaten badly.
And the part that Lancer was satisfied with was Shoto Todoroki's candid admission of his failure. This was what Lancer valued the most.
"There's nothing shameful about failure! Everyone has their moments of failure! As long as we don't fail on the battlefield where we absolutely cannot fail, that's enough!"
When he said this, a powerful aura also burst out from Lancer, which made his already tall figure even taller. Momo Yaoyorozu eyes, in particular, were shining as she looked at Lancer. This aura was very similar to her father's! But the only difference was that her father was in the business world, while Lancer was on the battlefield!
And when Lancer said this, he also remembered the things he and All Might talked about when they were drinking in the office during the day. There was no doubt that this man, who looked rough on the outside, was actually very meticulous. After sensing Lancer abnormality, he was also trying to help Lancer in his own way.
However, the thought was fleeting. It was better to do something practical than to dwell on it.
So————————
"Momo Yaoyorozu! It's your turn next!"
"Yes!!"
Momo Yaoyorozu, who was a little excited by Lancer, also nodded with an excited look on her face when she heard Lancer words. Now that she knew the purpose of the so-called 'test' from Lancer, she was no longer hesitant!
"Okay! Aru~ This round is yours!"
"Meow~"
"?"
Aru, who heard Lancer words, got up from Lancer side, and Momo Yaoyorozu also looked at Aru with a nervous face, but what she found strange was that the other party seemed a little 'too normal'.
Indeed, Jack looked a little aloof and preferred to stand on two feet, which made it seem more human. And because Tigre was wearing a chef's hat and often helped Lancer with grilling, Momo Yaoyorozu could tell at a glance that it was not ordinary. Of course, the fact that it was able to get so fat was also not ordinary.
Aru, on the other hand, had no presence and was more like a cat. It would wander around for no reason, liked to rub against Lancer when it was eating, and liked to stretch and sunbathe for no reason. Everything about it was 'too normal'.
But————————
"Meow~~"
After lazily bowing, Aru reached for the small bag hanging on its waist.
"The rules are the same as the last round. Momo Yaoyorozu, you can do whatever you want. Aru, you are not allowed to use lethal weapons! Now————start!!"
As Lancer gave the order, Aru started jogging around Momo Yaoyorozu. This tactic, which was identical to the previous one, made Momo Yaoyorozu a little nervous. After all, her 'quirk' in the early stages was no match for Shoto Todoroki's in terms of destructive power. In fact, she had already started analyzing when Shoto Todoroki was fighting with Jack.
In her opinion, Shoto Todoroki's tactics were not a problem. When ordinary attacks couldn't hit the opponent, a large-scale AOE was almost an inevitable choice, but the problem was that the strength of the two was not on the same level. In the end, it was completely because Shoto Todoroki could no longer handle his ability that the opponent was able to find a flaw and defeat him with one blow. So if she wanted to last longer, she had to be careful of the opponent's attacks!
It could be said that the match between Momo Yaoyorozu and Aru and the match between Shoto Todoroki and Jack were two complete extremes.
While Momo Yaoyorozu was carefully watching Aru, Aru was also carefully observing Momo Yaoyorozu. Although it was more 'normal', it was also more balanced.
If Jack was a adventurous warrior, and Tigre was a patient hunter, then Aru was an experienced soldier.
Being adventurous made Jack's attacks sharper, but the price was impulsiveness, which was the opposite of its personality. Being patient allowed Tigre to pay more attention to all its teammates on the battlefield, but it also made it reluctant to attack. And there was no doubt that Aru combined the strengths and weaknesses of the two of them. Being balanced meant that it lost the advantage of being able to fight above its weight class, but in return, it had an almost crushing victory against opponents of the same level. It could be said that it would never mess up.
After sensing that Momo Yaoyorozu was adopting a conservative strategy, it decisively took out a small pink ball from the small bag on its waist and attacked...
Before Momo Yaoyorozu could even react, the small ball in its hand was already on its way!
"Snap~!!"
Momo Yaoyorozu, who was still being careful of a surprise attack from her opponent, looked at the pink splash on her chest with a look of wanting to cry but having no tears.
"Sigh~"
Lancer, who was standing on the side, also couldn't help but sigh. I have to say that Momo Yaoyorozu performance was much worse than Shoto Todoroki's. If Shoto Todoroki was defeated by Jack after giving it his all, then Momo Yaoyorozu was a miscarriage, and it was over before it even began.
"Aru! One more time!"
After shouting at Aru, Lancer shook his head helplessly at Momo Yaoyorozu.
"Yaoyorozu, I'll give you one more chance!"
"Yes!"
At this time, Momo Yaoyorozu face was flushed, and she lowered her head, not knowing what to say. Before, she had felt that Shoto Todoroki was brave but reckless, but now that she was actually in the training ground, she realized what it meant to be 'blinded by one's own affairs'.
"One more time! Mr. Aru!"
"Meow~~"
Aru, who saw Momo Yaoyorozu expression, also shook its head with a helpless look on its face. It could be said to be exactly the same as its master's expression, but its expression became serious after it shook its head and got down on all fours again.
There was no doubt that it had no intention of going easy.
"Start!!"
After confirming that both sides were ready, Lancer waved his right hand again, and Momo Yaoyorozu also didn't hesitate to create many triggered traps. At the same time, she also had a riot shield and a capture weapon in her hands.
Lancer nodded when he saw this.
Before, Momo Yaoyorozu tried to 'respond to all changes with no changes', but she had overlooked a fundamental problem. The basis of responding to all changes with no changes was that both sides were on the same level. Against an opponent who was stronger than oneself, doing this was no different than waiting for death. Now, it was starting to look a little better...
