Preemptive Victory! (先手必勝！ Sente Hisshō!?) is the two hundred seventh chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.
Synopsis
Kojiro tells his teammates that Sero and Jiro will be the most problematic for them. Yosetsu follows up saying that with Katsuki and [[Rikido Sato]|Rikido]] in the mix as well, Class 1-A has the perfect balance between offense and defense and that if they lag behind they are done for. Togaru does not care about of it and just wants to make mincemeat out of Class 1-A.Setsuna declares that the first team to make a move wins and tells her team to advance.
Meanwhile, Vlad King is still commentating on the Joint Training Exercise. Hey reminds everyone that Class 1-A and Class 1-B are neck to neck with one victory each, but asks if they are truly evenly matched. He laughs saying that Class 1-A's only victory was thanks to Hitoshi. Eijiro and Denki call him out for phrasing things that way and proceed to boo him. Over at a distance, Midnight comments that it is ironic that Vlad King's Quirk is blood control, yet he cannot control his own hot-blooded head to which All Might adds that his passion is overflowing. Shota tells his class to cut it out and admits that Vlad King has been a better teacher than him. All Might tells Midnight that Class 1-B has powered up as a result of their daily training, but that Class 1-A is not going to sit around forever. Midnight says that All Might really loves Class 1-A to which he replies that he loves all the students. He then focuses on the broadcast and says to himself that he is looking forward to Katsuki's performance.
Back on the battlefield, Katsuki yells at his teammates saying that they are too slow. Kyoka says that she is trying to listen to the sounds as she goes to which Katsuki says to forget about it and to just hurry up and follow him. Hanta and Rikido groan over Katsuki's behavior, noting that he has not changed since the Sports Festival. However, Kyoka has noticed that he is more willing to cooperate with others now. She has a flashback where her team is discussing their strategy for the fourth round of the Joint Training Exercise. Katsuki wanted to take the lead and charge ahead with the others serving as back up. He tells Kyoka to pick up on the sounds coming from the Class 1-B team and to figure out their location. Hanta hesitates and suggests to proceed with caution instead using Kyoka's Quirk and then attack. Katsuki mocks him and says that if they do not make the first move it is over for them. He says that they do not have time to take caution, they have to act immediately.
Back in the present, Katsuki claims to have spotted Class 1-B and tells Kyoka to use her Quirk. She proceeds to do so and says that all the Class 1-B team members should be near by and to go find them. Upon further use of her Quirk, she yells to hear teammates that it's a trap. Setsuna appears behind Katsuki and says that his time is up and proceeds to attack him.
