章 55: Chapter 55. Semifinals: Bakugo vs. Midoriya.
After the match between Ojiro Mashirao and Todoroki Shoto, Todoroki used a large-scale ice attack to create an ice mountain, completely sealing Ojiro and advancing to the finals!
"The winner is Todoroki Shoto!"
After the main referee Midnight announced the winner, the semifinals welcomed another match.
"Bakugo Katsuki from Hero Course Class A, with a villainous face that doesn't look like a hero, has made it to the semifinals. Will he advance to the finals?"
"Midoriya Izuku from the Support Course, who took first place in both the preliminaries and the main competition, is an unexpectedly strong contestant!"
After the "Voice Hero" Present Mic introduced the two contestants, Midoriya and Bakugo stepped onto the ring, facing each other.
"I didn't expect you to be my opponent, Deku! I thought I'd face that giant girl!"
"I didn't expect it either..."
Bakugo laughed wildly. He really didn't expect Midoriya Izuku to make it to the semifinals. He was truly not to be underestimated.
Midoriya took it seriously as well. Bakugo Katsuki was different from his previous opponents. It would be hard to beat him without using full power.
"3—2—1! Begin the match!!"
With the main referee Midnight's announcement, the semifinal match between Midoriya and Bakugo began!
"Deku, die!!"
Bakugo shouted loudly and charged at Midoriya Izuku without hesitation, his hands ready to explode.
At the same time, Midoriya also sprinted towards Bakugo, his speed boosted by his gear.
Midoriya knew Bakugo well, having grown up together. He knew Bakugo's strength was his powerful, continuous explosions, so Midoriya decided to get close and finish the fight quickly.
In a flash, they collided. Bakugo's attack pattern was simple, and Midoriya saw through it instantly.
He dodged Bakugo's right hand and moved behind him, aiming a chop at Bakugo's neck, just like he did with Iida Tenya.
However, Bakugo seemed to have eyes on his back. He placed his left hand on his neck and unleashed a big explosion without looking, forcing Midoriya to retreat.
"I won't fall for your tricks. I saw how you eliminated Four Eyes!"
"Iida is your class president, you know... Can't you remember people's names?"
Midoriya was frustrated. He wanted to beat Bakugo easily, but this opponent with sharp battle instincts wasn't easy to deal with.
"Enough talk, die already, Deku!!"
Bakugo yelled wildly, standing still and using both hands to launch long-range explosions. His "Explosion" Quirk was powerful even at a distance, and the arena was big enough for it.
"This is really troublesome..."
Using "King of Storms," Midoriya dodged Bakugo's attacks with all his might, but the explosions kept coming, echoing throughout the arena.
Bakugo's Quirk allowed him to release explosions from his hands, controlling their size and power. Unlike Todoroki's Quirk, which could freeze himself if overused, Bakugo's explosions didn't harm him unless they were very large, which could damage his arm muscles.
Bakugo was pressuring Midoriya with continuous explosions, choosing a battle of attrition since he had no limit on using his Quirk.
For Midoriya, this was a problem. He had to find a way to get close to Bakugo. If he kept dodging, he would eventually get hit directly by an explosion. He couldn't hesitate!
"Die! Die!!"
Bakugo kept launching explosions, relentlessly targeting Midoriya. The arena was full of craters from the blasts.
"Bakugo's attacks are really wild. No wonder Present Mic said he looks like a villain..."
"He's wasting his talent by not becoming a villain!"
Ochako joked about Bakugo, and Takeyama Urei added to it. But both girls were now worried about Midoriya Izuku, who was being beaten by Bakugo.
"Here's my chance!"
Bakugo's wild explosions filled the stage with smoke, blocking the view. Midoriya Izuku seized this chance.
He activated all his gear, moving at the same speed as in the match with Ochako. Using the smoke as cover, he dashed straight at Bakugo!
Just as planned, Midoriya aimed to knock Bakugo down in one hit, but saw Bakugo's smug smile.
"Oh no!"
Midoriya thought, but it was too late. Bakugo had prepared a big explosion, releasing it at close range!
BOOM!!
Both were blown away, almost falling off the stage. The sudden turn of events shocked the audience. What happened?!
"Cough... it hurts..."
Midoriya Izuku was choked by the smoke and in pain. Bakugo's attack was no joke.
"Too bad... ouch!"
Bakugo was also hurt by the explosion. His attack was like a self-destruct, hurting both of them. But it didn't knock Midoriya out of the stage.
"Amazing, Bakugo released a big explosion at the moment Midoriya got close, hurting both of them!"
Present Mic explained what happened, and the audience was impressed by Bakugo's ruthlessness.
"Kacchan, I didn't expect you to go this far..."
Midoriya Izuku got up, checking his gear. His rocket pack and boosters were damaged, and he was covered in wounds. Bakugo's attack really gave him a headache.
"Deku, I never underestimated you!!"
Bakugo also got up, holding his arm in pain, shouting:
"From the preliminaries when I had to team up with Todoroki to fight you, to the main match where your team outsmarted us, I don't see you as the useless guy you used to be!"
"Four-Eyes was knocked out by you from behind, your close combat skills are strong now!"
In the audience, Iida Tenya adjusted his glasses, noting the nickname Bakugo gave him, planning to settle the score later.
"And Round Face too, you pushed her off the stage with your speed. You're really scary strong now!"
Uraraka Ochako pinched her face, also noting the nickname Bakugo gave her, planning to get back at him later!
"You're now an opponent I have to go all out against!!"
"Is that so..."
Looking at Bakugo, Midoriya Izuku felt warmth inside. Bakugo finally acknowledged him... So he had to get serious too!!
"Kacchan! I understand..."
Midoriya Izuku's gear was all damaged. The powerful functions of "Storm King" were gone, but he had to keep fighting, so!
"See the real me!!"
He took out the black "Reaper Gloves" from his bag and put them on his hands!
Midoriya Izuku, "Steel Wire Death God" Akaya Kaiun! Here I come!!
