Seeing Ezaki Kitazawa, Melissa's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"Ezaki, it's bad! Everyone is in danger!"
She finally felt a little relief upon seeing him. To her, Ezaki Kitazawa was the only hope left.
Ezaki Kitazawa glanced at Melissa, noticing that she was still trembling slightly. Something terrible must have happened up there.
"Boom!"
A massive explosion suddenly shook the area, the vibrations even reaching Ezaki Kitazawa.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
With that, he sprinted off toward the top floor.
When Ezaki Kitazawa arrived, his brows furrowed. The place was in ruins—metal debris scattered everywhere. Midoriya was lying on the ground, while Todoroki Shoto stood unsteadily, his upper body covered in tattered clothes, likely due to overusing his Quirk.
"Kacchan!"
At that moment, Wolfram launched another attack on Todoroki Shoto. Two massive metal spikes shot up from the ground, heading straight for him.
Todoroki Shoto was about to counterattack when, suddenly, countless tree-like vines, as flexible as serpents, surged forward to intercept the metal.
"Boom!"
The trees and metal clashed with a loud crash. Todoroki Shoto turned around and saw Ezaki Kitazawa, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Wolfram was momentarily surprised, then smirked.
"Well, well, seems like we have a tough one here."
Ezaki Kitazawa leaped forward, landing in front of Todoroki Shoto. He spoke in a serious tone.
"Take Midoriya somewhere safe. Leave this guy to me."
Todoroki Shoto nodded and gave a warning.
"He's strong. His Quirk lets him control metal—be careful."
"Got it."
Ezaki Kitazawa nodded.
Todoroki Shoto hoisted Midoriya onto his back and dashed toward the exit Ezaki Kitazawa had come from. Now, only Ezaki Kitazawa, David, Wolfram, and one of his subordinates remained on the top floor.
"Kid, I've already achieved my goal. If you don't want to die, get out of my way. Otherwise, I won't mind killing you before I leave."
Wolfram warned.
Ezaki Kitazawa ignored him. With a slight movement of his hand, dozens of massive tree vines shot out, wrapping around the helicopter. One vine even coiled around David, swiftly pulling him to Ezaki Kitazawa's side.
Wolfram's face darkened when he saw his escape plan being ruined.
"You brat! You've completely pissed me off now!"
He roared in rage.
After setting David down in the corner, Ezaki Kitazawa dashed forward at top speed.
Wolfram's pupils shrank.
"This guy... he's fast!"
If he tried to activate his Quirk now, he would definitely get hit. Instead, he threw a punch while his body turned a reddish hue, clearly using a muscle-enhancing Quirk.
*Boom!*
Their fists collided, sending Wolfram flying backward until he crashed into a wall.
*Splurt!*
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, stunned by what had just happened.
"What... Who the hell is this guy? I can't go head-to-head with him."
Meanwhile, Ezaki Kitazawa hadn't expected backup to arrive. Bakugo Katsuki and the others reached the top floor, and even Todoroki Shoto returned after securing Midoriya.
Bakugo and his group ran toward Ezaki Kitazawa, while Melissa, Yaoyorozu Momo, and the other girls rushed toward David.
"Can you guys handle this?"
Ezaki Kitazawa asked Bakugo.
"I'd die before losing to you."
Bakugo snapped back.
Ezaki Kitazawa chuckled.
"Just so you know, this is a gamble. I'm not here to save you."
"You annoying brats! I'll kill every last one of you!"
Wolfram was completely enraged. If it weren't for Ezaki Kitazawa and the others, his plan would have been perfect.
With a furious roar, Wolfram slammed his hand on the ground. Three massive metal spikes shot up, rushing straight toward Ezaki Kitazawa.
"Bring it on!"
Todoroki Shoto shouted loudly. Right in front of them, ice spikes began growing rapidly, crashing toward the metal pillars. Bakugo Katsuki took this chance, leaping forward and using his explosion quirk to launch himself straight at Wolfram.
"Take this, Todoroki!"
With a loud explosion, thick smoke engulfed the spot where Wolfram had been standing. But just as Bakugo thought his attack had worked, a massive metal pillar shot out from the smoke and sent him flying.
At the same time, Ezaki Kitazawa had quietly appeared behind Wolfram. Without hesitation, he delivered a powerful kick, sending Wolfram soaring into the air.
Ezaki then jumped up and kicked him again, this time launching him toward the edge of the top floor. In an instant, Wolfram plummeted over the edge.
"He fell... This is the 200th floor! Won't he die from that?"
Kirishima Eijiro rushed to the edge, glanced down, and spoke.
"Ugh, that hurt like hell! But isn't it better if he's dead?"
Bakugo Katsuki got up from the ground, cracking his knuckles.
"Falling from the 200th floor... he's gonna be nothing but a splatter."
Todoroki Shoto remained calm.
"Kirishima, do you see anything unusual?"
Ezaki Kitazawa, just to be sure, asked as well.
Kirishima shook his head. "Nothing. It's pitch black down there. He's probably hit the ground by now."
"Is it over?"
Yaoyorozu Momo glanced at Ezaki Kitazawa and the others, murmuring to herself.
"Finally!"
Melissa let out a heavy sigh as she looked at her father.
Just then, the entire building started to shake.
