บท 78: Final Round and Hero Course
The next fight was going to be a bit boring. Since Bakugo will definitely win.
I mean, not only is Bakuga a good counter to Naijeru. He has also trained for longer. Naijeru was already lucky enough to win against Shoto. But he won't squeak it out against Bakugo.
But still, the fight was interesting to watch. Hair burns up quite easily. But Naijeru can also outgrow the spread of fire. In the end, it comes down to time.
If I had more time to train Naijeru than he might have more chances to win. Bakugo himself started properly training at a young age. Since his quirk is volatile one can guess that he trained it in a government facility before mastering it completely.
Sure, he might've gone to a gym or something. But that was after mastering his quirk properly. The government wouldn't really let a bomb run around unsupervised.
At least, they shouldn't. I don't care enough to open my civics book and find out.
Right now, I could see the contestants walking up the stage. The angry-looking, well-built Bakugo and the timid and somewhat skinny Naijeru.
The fight started on a strong note. With Bakugo blasting himself forward in Naujeru's direction. Surprisingly, the general course student reacted in time. Growing his hair and sending it to intercept his rapidly advancing opponent.
Bakugo managed to spin around and blast the hair away from him. He burned quite a bit of Naijeru's hair in the process. But it grew back quickly, following the explosive student and trying to wrap itself around him.
Bakugo kept blasting away at the hair that attacked him. Blown away strands of hair lay around the entire arena.
Naijeru kept applying pressure on his opponent. And Bakugo himself was getting angrier and angrier as the match went on. Most of the public was cheering them on. No one really picked a side, both were already extraordinary to have made it this far.
Although, you can guess that class 1-A cheered for their colleague. And some people in class 1-B cheered for Naijeru, just to spite class 1-A. I wonder who those people are...
Bakugo suddenly put his hands together and sent a powerful blast in Naijeru's direction. He completely ignored the hair that was attacking him from his sides.
Naijeru was forced to quickly cover himself in thick layers of hair. The entire arena already smelt like burnt hair.
Naijeru was sent backwards at great speeds. The layer of Hair he had put quickly burned down as another one replaced it. It was a battle of attrition at this point.
Bakugo looked on, as his opponent managed to drag himself to a stop.
Naijeru finally decided to use his trump-card too. Since there wasn't much else he could do. His hair quickly formed a giant drill, spinning in Bakugo's direction.
Bakugo just snorted and rose his hands to meet the attack with an explosion. But the scattered hair in the arena quickly jumped at him and restrained him.
As the drill was approaching a large amount of hair was holding him down. I could hear an angry shout "Howitzer Impact!" Blew away all of the hair restraining him and the drill in front of him.
He didn't try to create a miniature tornado this time. Probably using the oxygen created by the spin of the giant drill. It was enough to fuel a powerful explosion.
I could hear little Eri gasping a bit. In awe maybe? I can also do explosions, why doesn't she react like that to mine?
Rumi had a wide grin on her face after seeing the attack. I guess sparing with me became a bit boring for her. Especially since she's well aware I'm always holding back.
Naijeru himself was flung out of the ring by the explosion. He crashed into the wall before he had a chance to soften his landing. Yep, he was knocked out instantly.
As Naijeru was taken to the infirmary, Midnight announced Bakugo as the winner of the first-year school festival.
In the end, Naijeru held out quite well. Calling his quirk flawless might be a bit farfetched. But it's certainly one of the stronger ones in this school. If only he had more time to master it in combat...
Oh well, there's always the next year. And he qualifies as a Hero Course student quite easily. I'll see to it that both he and Shinso end up as proper heroes by the end of this high school.
Handing out the medals went about the same. Midnight and All Might talking over each other. Honestly, after working here for a year I can understand the lack of coordination.
Bakugo was still dissatisfied with his win, but it wasn't as bad as last time. Since Shoto didn't go easy on him personally.
Tokoyami was a bit disappointed. I guess he was a bit disadvantaged whilst fighting in a brightly lit stage. His opponent also ended up being a counter to his quirk. Which was never a nice experience.
Naijeru looked quite proud of himself as All Might put the medal around his neck and whispered some advice or compliment in his ear. A bit weird, but it worked well in encouraging the student.
Bakugo didn't bite his medal this time. He still seemed reluctant to accept it. But he didn't get much chance to complain as Toshi just snapped it around his neck.
And just like that. The festival was over.
I didn't stick around to congratulate Naijeru for his achievement. I will do that when I see him in the Hero Course.
Shinso also doesn't need any more consoling. He just got unlucky.
It's a bit of a shame that I didn't participate. It would've been unfair, sure. But I could've held back or something. Although, Recovery Girl would get mad at me if I so much as scratched another student.
Especially since I already asked her for help during Naijeru's training.
Eri used so much energy cheering the students on that she eventually fell asleep on Rumi's lap. Rumi herself didn't want to wake up Eri. So I decided to take them both home with minimal movement.
Just encased all three of us in light and flew us home at a decent speed. When we got home, I levitated Rumi in the living room and Eri on the bed.
I joined Rumi to watch some Television after tucking Eri in properly.
The very next day. I entered Nezu's office to talk about transferring both Shinso and Naijeru over to the Hero course.
The process was much smoother than I expected. Nezu having already prepared everything to transfer the two of them. Shinso ended up in class 1-A while Naijeru was assigned to class 1-B. Aizawa said he wanted to train Shinso, so that's why he was put in Aizawa's class.
As for Naijeru, they figured it might be better for an emitter to teach another emitter. Well, both Aizawa and Vlad are emitters. But Vlad's quirk is a bit more similar to Naijeru's.
All in all, it's a bit sad that they were split up. But the school can't really have more students in a class than in the other. Especially since these two classes always ended up competing with one another.
And, just like that. I called my two friends to give them the good news. They both seemed very excited.
I now realize that I made the school year much more boring by doing this. But it's not like I need to attend. In the past few weeks, I only attended for Shinso and Naijeru. The others are mostly just acquaintances.
I also have to find Kyudai eventually. Oh well, I'll deal with him eventually.
