Chapter 54: Chapter 054: You Call This a Pile of Scrap Wood?
"It... looks like Nomu was sent flying by that giant," Kurogiri guessed.
The smug look on Shigaraki Tomura's face vanished without a trace. His breathing even became somewhat erratic.
He frantically scratched at his neck while muttering, "Is... is this another form of his Quirk? Damn it... damn it... why... why can't anything go our way?"
"Shigaraki, calm down. We haven't lost yet," Kurogiri reassured him.
"You're right... yeah, you're right! Nomu's base power is supposed to rival All Might's. There's no way he can't handle a student!" Shigaraki Tomura muttered, trying to convince himself, which made him feel a little better.
As time passed, the giant wooden figure and the wooden dragon created by Ezaki's wood-based Quirk gradually became visible to everyone.
"Look, Yaoyorozu! That giant... it appeared during our combat training," Kirishima said, pointing at the wooden figure in the opposite direction.
"This time... it's a bit different. Look at the giant — it's wrapped in a wooden dragon. That didn't happen during the combat training," Yaoyorozu Momo said with a serious expression.
Kirishima Eijiro stroked his chin thoughtfully. "It... does seem like that's the case!"
"I hope Ezaki-kun can defeat all those villains," Yaoyorozu Momo said seriously.

Meanwhile, on Ezaki's side.
"Ezaki, Nomu has strength that rivals All Might. Do you really think creating such a useless wooden giant will help you win?" Shigaraki Tomura shouted at Ezaki Kitazawa.
Standing on the wooden giant's forehead, Ezaki Kitazawa smirked slightly and replied:
"Useless wooden giant? You sure talk a lot of nonsense!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ezaki waved his hands and shouted loudly.
In front of the wooden giant, a massive tree burst out from the ground.
"Go!"
Ezaki shouted. The wooden giant, seemingly with a mind of its own, grabbed the enormous tree in front of it.
It used all its strength to pull the tree out of the ground, causing deep cracks to spread across the ground.
In the next second, the wooden giant uprooted the tree and hoisted it onto its shoulder.
At the same time, unnoticed by anyone, a glass panel at the top of the USJ training arena opened.
Four or five pairs of eyes scanned the scene inside.
Behind them, a voice rang out.
"How is Ezaki doing?" Chisaki Kai asked.
"He's currently fighting the enemies. But... Chisaki Kai, you were right about him. Ezaki's strength is truly remarkable. Someone like him might only appear once every few hundred years."
"Unbelievable. His Quirk seems to let him summon giants," another member of Shie Hassaikai added.
"It feels like we came here for nothing. He seems powerful enough to handle this alone."
Chisaki Kai remained silent for a few seconds.
"Regardless, we'll act when the time is right. Ezaki must not fall here. He's the key to opening a new era!"
"Understood!"
...
...
"This bastard... Is he planning to use that as a weapon?" Shigaraki Tomura muttered, feeling uneasy as he watched the wooden giant's movements.
"I think so. If that massive tree hits us even twice, we might not survive," Kurogiri said nervously, swallowing hard.
"Nomu, what are you waiting for? Get up and tear him apart!" Shigaraki Tomura yelled toward the hot spring area.
Suddenly, a figure shot out and charged straight at Ezaki.
Though the giant tree was enormous, the wooden giant wielded it skillfully.
Seeing Nomu rushing forward, the giant spun the tree around and swung it fiercely.
"Bang!"
Nomu was sent flying once again, crashing to the ground and sliding backward from the force.
This time, Ezaki Kitazawa didn't give Nomu a chance to recover, commanding the wooden giant to advance quickly.
With each step the giant took, the ground trembled under its massive weight.
Nomu desperately clawed at the ground to stop himself, but as soon as he halted, the wooden giant swung the massive tree down from above.
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
The entire USJ training arena shook violently.
