Capítulo 10: Chapter eleven: Idol
" And now for the final round!—"
Midoriya stepped on the arena once more. The same feeling swept him, pushing him in more. Even though he knew his opponent, He got the urge to win.
" Both students from the hero course; The egotistical, but has the bite to back it up, Bakugo Katsuki!"
No cheers, lots of boos. He stuck his tongue and gave a thumbs down, shutting the crowd down of their discouragement.
" And for his opponent, the green bush, grass, or whatever that's green, Midoriya Izuku!"
Midoriya got a chant of multiple green things. Sweat dripped from the side of the head.
' I don't know how I feel about being called a bush, grass, or what that's green'
Midnight from the side raised her short whip, then whipping it down saying, " Begin!"
" Deku!" a war cry, Bakugo came barreling at Midoriya. Reaching him, he went with a right hook. Midoriya stepped to the right and grabbed his arm. Then twisting around throwing him across his back and slamming him into the ground.
Bakugo scrambled to his feet before Midoriya had the chance to attack. Midoriya went on the assault. His horns turned gray, then breathing out smoke.
Bakugo set off an explosion below him, clearing the smoke and evading Midoriya's attack. Then dived straight down and sticking out his hand to bomb him.
He shielded himself, taking the hit and sliding back. He hit the edge, barely staying.
" Prepare yourself!" he screamed, rushing at him. He went for a left hook this time. Midoriya did the same thing, then was met with a boot to the face. Falling over, he lands on the line.
" Midoriya is out of the arena, Bakugou Katsuki wins!" Midnight announced. There were cheers, little at the start. Then it increased.
Midoriya stood up, rubbing his face where the boot had landed. Bakugo brushed his shoulder, walking past him. " That was pathetic Deku."
Indeed, being bested without a fight is quite pathetic. The only threat he posed was his smoke diversion. Yet, he abolished it immediately. Midoriya lacks in close range combat. It's become extremely obvious. In the mini-tournament Aizawa set up, he couldn't land a hit on Jiro. And now, he couldn't fight against Bakugo who thrives in close range.
How would Mirko think about his performance? The rabbit hero uses her legs in the close range all the time. This was just letting down his Idol. Wanting to be something like her but failing so hard in her fighting preference.
Sooner or later, He was on a podium for second place. All Might had made a grand entrance from the sky, then started giving the placement medals. Ashido and Iida received the bronze, however, Iida was gone due to family issues. Silver was given to Midoriya, and gold to Bakugo.
Bakugo took the medal off, scrutinized it, and shoved it into his pocket. Everyone walked off the podiums. The event was now over and everyone left. On the out and back home, Midoriya was given admiration for making it to second. Though he didn't win, He still went through Todoroki Shoto. And therefore, He can be respected greatly for his achievement.

" here are the results of your performance at the festival. The number of offers you have may vary."
It was the next, Aizawa had collected all the potential internships they could get. He clicked a button; it then showed a list of names and numbers. The space between half of the class was large. Todoroki, Iida, Midoriya, and a bit for Ashido, were the only ones above fifty.
" Wow! Ninety-eight?! That's a lot." Ashido cried out. She gazed at the holographic text then locking with Midoriya's.
" two seventy-three?!, " she looked at Midoriya, shocked as well, " are you happy you're famous?~"
He nervously nodded, " I-I uh, guess? I don't know how to feel about this. Happy because I've been chosen by lots of pro heroes, that could be it. Even anxious that these many want to have me go under them. Though, I truly hope one chooses me. But can't be ungrateful if they don't."
" oh? Who's that special person?".
Midoriya softly blushed, scratching the back of his head then answer, " Um M-Mirko. She's kinda my motivation for being a hero and whatnot."
Ashido perked an eyebrow, " I'm not sure who that is."
" She's a fucking rabbit," Bakugo replied for her, " she's barely known. I didn't even know her until this nerd told me.". The air got awkward between the three.
" Well...I'm sure she's a great hero Mido!" Ashido said, trying to break the atmosphere that Bakugo created.
"T-Thanks Ashido-san. I surely believe she is."
" Yeah, she's a hero of attracting furry lovers." Bakugo laughed on his way out of the class. The air was back to the way it was earlier. Midoriya bobbed his head to his statement, " He's not entirely wrong...".
" Hey hey!" Ashido waved, grabbing his attention. " don't listen to him. Just because her quirk is related to animals, doesn't mean she's furry or you're a furry lover. You simply just Idolize her. That's. All.".
The words she spoke made his accepting aura fade. He then nodded, " T-thanks for that Ashido."
" mhm! Also, call me Mina!" She grinned.
" y-your first name?" he repeated, slightly caught off guard.
" Yeah! We've been friends for some time so I think it's reasonable. And if you call me Mina, I can call you Izuku! Unless you have a problem with that?"
He shook his head fast, waving his hands at her. " I-Its fine! I-I just wasn't expecting you to a-ask that!"
" Good!" she said with glee, then walking to the door with her hero costume case, " See you in a bit."
She left the classroom, leaving him with a couple of others who were still deciding. It made him won't, who did she choose? Ashido, or now Mina, didn't give her hopes for an internship. Yet again, It could be someone who she also looked up to. Or it could be a pro hero who had the style she liked or quirk similar to hers. Thinking about who she would choose, it might be someone who had a similar quirk or fighting style. Her control was getting better, and with a pro hero who had the same type of quirk could benefit her greatly. Though, Having a person with up-close fighting is beneficial for her as well.
" Dude. You're mumbling.".
He flinched from his trance. Then looking up to see the earphone jack quirk. She had half freaked out, half laughing look. Next to her was Kaminari, who just had this confused expression.
" oh, s-sorry about that." He apologized, then standing up from his seat. Jiro shook her head and replied, "it's fine Midoriya. Whatever you were mumbling about wasn't causing me an issue. But maybe fried here is still computing the first sentence.". She snorted at teasing, covering her mouth.
Kaminari started babbling back at her, who ignored most of it. Once they were done, Jiro then asked, " Who are you interning with Midoriya? I chose Death arms."
" haven't chosen yet. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't catch a certain someone's eye but I'll make the most of what I have."
" well, you're not the only one who hasn't chosen. Denki is still deciding. But I told him to come with me." She looks over at him, " Yet, he refused."
" erm... Midoriya, Mineta someone got an internship with Mount lady. Isn't that crazy?!" he told.
" Huh, that is crazy. I wonder how..."
Midoriya phone went off, giving a ding. He pulled it out and checked the message. It was from Ashido.
Ashido: If you still haven't chosen, meet me at the train station. Make sure to bring your stuff too. Don't ask questions about why!
Confused, he texted back with " okay". H picked up his bag and head out of the classroom. Then out of Yuuei down the station. He had quite a lively walk to the station. Multiples recognized him, then he did lots of popular kids things. It wasn't for a moment he became popular; it was a century.
Finally getting there, Exhausted from all the fans, He looked around for Mina. Then he saw her, leaning on a pole and looking at her phone, waiting for his arrival.
" Ashi- Mina-san!" he called out to her. She looked up, locking eyes. She put the phone away and waved him over.
" Great, you're here!", the train then pulled up to the station. Doors open; they enter. Sitting down, He asked, " W-why did you bring me along with you?"
" can't tell you~," she said, swaying her head side to side.
He sighed, knowing he won't be able to make her spill. Her movement appeared like she was in a good mood, more than usual. Tapping her feet and head swaying. It made him wonder.
" Mina-san, you seem to be happier than normal. Something has you in this way?".
She looked at him and with a grin, she told " First off, I'm happy to be spending time with you.".
Her comment made him blush but continued to listen incessantly. She saw the color change, giggled, then said, " second, I can't wait to see your reaction."
" to what?" then it hit him, mentally slapping himself in the face. " I. Can't. Tell. You~" she hummed, knowing he messed up.
The train soon came to a stop. Most mina picked up her stuff and dragged him out. Then taking him down a couple of roads down to modern home. Strange feeling he got looking at it, ' is this Mina's house?! Am I about to see her parents?!'
" This is similar to my house," she said, peering out the house. Mental relief, he exhaled with his hand on his chest. He followed her to the door. Now questioning whom house this belonged to. She knocked, then waited.
The door then opened. It revealed a woman who was in gym shorts, shorter than normal, show in more thigh than necessary; Sports bra, and had a towel on her shoulder.
Then seeing something that made his heart skip a beat. The ears of a rabbit.
" Hey Pinky, Bush boy."
It was Mirko, or real name, Usagiyama Rumi.
