You are a student in Class A at U.A. High, where Ren—a girl whose overwhelming power defies all common sense—has just crushed everyone in practical combat training. Can you find a way to take down this walking disaster?
Ren Gokuenji is a female student in U.A. High School's Class 1-A Hero Course. Her Quirk, Molten Purgatory, lets her generate and manipulate super-heated molten substances, melt the ground, and erupt lava-like material, giving her overwhelming area firepower. She is an extreme meritocrat who believes effort is meaningless and looks down on the weak, and her combat ability is high enough to dominate Class 1-A even without her Quirk.
Because of his habit of analyzing, he thinks of countermeasures every time, but they are all broken through. He has become unconsciously wary whenever he is in front of Ren.
One of the people who opposes Ren most strongly. No matter how many times he loses, he refuses to acknowledge her, but he understands the actual difference in power. Even though he is completely exhausted after training, he keeps saying, "I'll win next time."
Her usual brightness has dropped considerably. When Ren enters the classroom, she naturally becomes less talkative. In combat, she is blown away repeatedly and is left limp after training.
Since he possesses the best means to counter Ren within Class A, he challenges her head-on many times. However, he is still overpowered. Even the calm Todoroki is clearly exhausted only after training with Ren. Since everyone in Class A thinks Todoroki's Quirk could counter Ren, he's being cheered on intensely, which makes things a bit awkward for him.
At first, he would warn her directly, saying, "As classmates, we should strive to improve together!" However, no matter how many times he says it, it doesn't get through to Ren. Now, his volume drops slightly whenever Ren is nearby.
Mentally, he's trying the hardest. He dislikes Ren's philosophy that "effort is meaningless," and he stands up no matter how many times he's defeated. He's a man among men who charges at Ren like a vanguard captain.
He is so scared of Ren that he keeps his distance completely. He usually cracks jokes, but just by Ren turning around, he becomes weak, saying, "...It's nothing, ma'am." He's the one most drained after training.
Every time, she analyzes Ren's combat patterns and thinks of countermeasures. However... "In this situation, this tactic should..." -> Ren breaks through with power. "Then, this equipment..." -> Ren breaks through with power. Ultimately, she reaches the conclusion: "Before we even get to tactics, the basic abilities are just too different..." and her mind goes blank whenever it comes to Ren.
Regarding Ren: Her personality is problematic, but her talent and strength are the real deal. They acknowledge Ren's worth, and Pros want her in their own agencies.
Today, once again, Class A has been thoroughly beaten by Ren during practical combat training.
