-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Narrator pov
After eating, you excused yourself from the table to use the bathroom before the last event. Looking at yourself in the mirror, you frowned at how familiar the position you were in was. Again, you pushed the memories out of your head and splashed some water on your face.
"Ok! Tournament time!! Time to actually try." You tried to motivate yourself but to no avail. You groaned and dried your face off with a paper towel and exited the bathroom.
Just before walking into the stadium someone grabbed your arms and pulled you back around a corner. Instinctively, you twisted your arm out of their grip, grabbed them instead, and flipped them onto their back.
"Ack-" the person on the ground groaned.
"Oh no! I'm so sorry Momo!" You apologized seeing her figure on the ground.
"No, no, you're fine. It was foolish of me to just grab you like that, your reflexes are very impressive." Momo laughed. "Oh! Here I made you an outfit! Apparently, the girls in 1-A have to put on a show before the next event. Orders from Mr. Aizawa."
'Ah- almost forgot this happens.' "Momo, who exactly told you this. Was it Aizawa himself?" You asked.
"Well- er no," Momo looked to the side. "It was Denki... he sounded very serious so I believe him!"
"Did Mineta happen to be anywhere close or around you two?" You asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, yeah... but I don't think that matters! We should probably hurry!" Momo shoved the clothes into your hands.
"Momo! The most perved and second most perved in our class told you to wear revealing clothing in front of everyone, using the cover of Aizawa orders. Do you really believe that? I'm telling you now, don't do this. I'm not going to really stop you if you go through with it, but I'm not doing it. Sorry." You tucked the clothes under your arm as you explained. "Thank you for going through the effort of making me this, but if you don't want to embarrass yourselves I would get the other girls and tell them not to as well."
Momo nodded, "Yes well thank you. I think we're still going to just in case, we don't want to disobey our teacher so..."
You sighed, "No, no I understand. Just know that I warned you beforehand."
Momo nodded and ran off to find the other girls. 'Awe man- as much as I want to just tell them all not to or make them not... I kinda also wanna see them in cheerleader costume- WAIT NO BAD (Y/N) BAD!' You hit yourself a few times before walking out onto the turf where everyone else waited.
You found yourself in a spot near most of your classmates and wait for the next events to happen.
"GET THOSE THUMB-FINGERS IN THE AIR!! IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR THE LAST ROUUUND! But before that, good news for everyone who didn't make the finals! Since this is a sports festival, we prepared some super fun side games everyone can participate in! We even brought in cheerleaders to get your blood pumping!!" Mic's voice boomed in the stadium, capturing the attention of everyone.
You turned your head to see hired cheerleaders doing their thing on one side of the stadium, "Huh... I guess they really did have cheerleaders."
"Hold up-"
Class 1-A's girls (minus (Y/n) ) walked out onto the green grass, all wearing figure-hugging cheerleader outfits. You could see all of the regret so clearly on their faces and all you could do was facepalm. 'I told them, I really did.'
Well, you tried so you'd might as well watch the show. Yeah, yeah isn't that really bad? (Y/n) is perverted? No, not actually, I mean everyone is at least a tiny bit come on, EVEN IZUKU! Just let her enjoy this.
With a slight blush on your's and everyone else's faces, you made your way behind Denki and Mineta who were having way too much fun with this. Mineta was drooling and most definitely thinking lewd thoughts and Denki- Denki was spacing out.
"You think this is so funny?" You asked in a low voice behind the two boys. They immediately froze and slowly turned around to face you.
"(Y- Y/n)... I- it's not what it looks like!" Denki pleaded, getting onto his knees.
"Oh yeah? Mineta, what do you think it is?"
"Heaven~"
"Yeah?" You had a sinister innocent smile on your face. You bent down to be face to face with Mineta, the boy trembling in place. "Now, how do you think they feel? I think that'd be embarrassing don't you?"
Mineta nodded quickly, feeling the pressure from your dark aura and not wanting to get involved with it.
You smiled and stood straight again. "Denki, after girl's night how could you? How much did you take part in this?"
"IT WAS ALL MINETA'S IDEA! I JUST TOLD THE GIRLS ABOUT THE UNIFORM! ALL HIM!" Denki ratted out the grape quickly.
"DENKI!?" Mineta cried.
"Oh really now? Then Denki, I'll let you off with a little punishment- I'm sure the girls would be willing to forgive you." You turned back to the midget, "Though you- I think you need to show a little empathy."
"FOLKS! THIS JUST IN, A SPECIAL VIDEO IS PLAYING RIGHT NOW!" Mic announced on the intercom.
The big screen flashed and changed to a video; the front image was a black and white photo of Mineta facing the wall in shame. The video began to play, a girl's voice narrating, though we could only guess at who it was.
"Men are said to be at least 10 times more attractive if they respect women..." The camera zoomed in towards Mineta's face, small tears forming in his eyes.
"This man is not attractive, not even the slightest bit, and you know why? He disrespects women! He tricks them into wearing cheerleading costumes to satisfy his own lewd feelings," the camera cuts to Mineta making a perved face while drooling and blushing a lot.
"peeks into locker rooms when they're changing," the camera changed again, now showing him looking around a corner.
"He even goes as far as to write fantasies about his classmates- truly disgusting." Mineta was now hunched over a bright computer screen, typing away fast, drool dripping down his chin.
The video freezes, the black and white image of Mineta appearing with a large cross over it. "Don't be like him. If you want to be attractive respect women today and always."
A pink-haired girl now showed in the video, "If you are experiencing things like this call xxx-xxx-xxxx and our services will come to the rescue helping you in any way needed. Refer to your counselor, friend, partner, or a trusted adult if you are experiencing any of this before using the Respect Women Hotline to ensure the abuse of this privilege is not exploited. Don't hesitate to call if you are by yourself or in dire need of service. Terms and conditions apply."
"Side effects for those who disrespect women may include; nausea, broken bones, liver and lung failure, cancer, heart attack, and even death. Though this is not a threat it should not be taken lightly." The video ended with a fast voice going through terms and conditions and a few ending credits.
The stadium was completely silent, they had no idea what they had just witnessed. Their attention was then turned onto the field where Mineta had started running around, a banner flowing behind him reading: "I'm sorry 1-A girls!"
"(Y/n)- did you do that?" Denki, standing on your right, asked as he watched the scene from the seats up in the stadium floors.
You shrugged, "Maybe? Though you better not ask because I could have one repaired just like this very fast~"
Denki gulped on nodded his head, quick not to ask anything else or talk about the subject. Other students that overheard also sweatdropped, not wanting to question how you made that video so quickly or even how you got it up there.
---------- (Y/N) POV
"Well, that was mmmm... delightful-" Midnight said, a few minutes after everyone had cooled down from the video. "Sorry about that folks- I think a student plugged in their computer to the big screen to play that. But don't worry everything is still secure and safe!!"
Now only 18 of us, were waiting back on the ground for Midnight to announce the next event.
The big screen flashed and the battle bracket appeared. It showed 18 blank participants, one at the end with automatic advancement to the second round.
"Come closer and draw lots to see who you're up against. Then enjoy the pleasure of the recreational games before we start!" Midnight announced, holding up a yellow box labeled 'Lots'.
"The 18 contestants have the option of participating in those activities or sitting out to prepare for battle. I'm sure you all want to conserve your stamina. I'll start with the first place team-" Midnight began but was soon interrupted by a hand.
"Umm, excuse me." Ojiro spoke up. "Sorry but I'm withdrawing."
Gasps filled the arena and shocked looks formed.
My classmates protested but to no avail, Ojiro still refused because of his morals or something.
'I mean go off king but you're really letting such an amazing FREE opportunity go. Whatever I guess.' I shrugged and faced back towards the front.
Some other kid from class 1-B also dropped out for the same reason. I assumed they felt bad because Shinso did the entire work for their team in the cavalry battle and they didn't feel they deserved the spot. But for the same reasons- FREE AND EASY PEOPLE?!
"This kind of talk is incredibly nieve my boys... THAT TURNS ME ON! You're withdrawn!" Midnight yelled with a crazy look on her face.
'Oh my god- Yep I can't be seen in public with her anymore. Sorry Aunty Midnight but people are gonna start thinking things about me and I'd rather them not...'
With their withdrawals, the numbers went back to their canon 16 and they didn't move up people from team Tetsutetsu... I'd have to do something about that later so that Kirishima and Tetsutetsu could still meet. They're such an amazing pair that I couldn't live with myself- again- if they didn't meet.
"Take a look at the bracket my dears, these are your opponents!"
I quickly scanned the names and found my first match up to be with... Denki!?
'I guess that makes sense since I kicked Shiozaki out of the running...'
Denki walked up to my side and nudged my arm with his, "So we're up against each other first huh? Let's make a bet!!"
I turned towards him with a smirk, "Yeah?~ What is it?"
"If I win you have to go on a date with me," Denki smiled.
I put my finger to my chin, "And if I win?"
"I'll do whatever you say for one week."
'Oh really now?'
"Hmmm.... ok! Be prepared to lose Pikachu!" I stuck my hand out towards him. He gladly accepted and shook my hand to seal the deal.
He turn to find some others but as he walked I saw him hesitate and rethink his decisions.
I crossed my arms and nodded, "Yep, he just realized he made a bet he could never win"
"OK! Let's press pause for a momentary interlude! Before the battles begin it's time for some side games!" Mic spoke through the intercom.
The first game was a scavenger hunt where we had to find things around the stadium or even take them- er ask of them from viewers. I wouldn't say it's cheating (I most definitely cheated)but I made all my items with my actual quirk.
Many people still in the tournament were stressed and didn't participate trying to form strategies, calm themselves down, or just take a break in general. I, not needing any of those things, played the mini games to relax and just have fun for a bit while I could.
For some reason, the other 1-A girls kept their cheerleading outfits on and performed a show despite there being actual cheerleads- but it was entertaining nonetheless.
Soon the games were over and we were all called off so the Cementos could create the battlegrounds. I sat in the rows of seats along with my 1-A peers and waited. Izuku and I talked about how our classmates could use their quirks to win and geeked out, many of the people around were surprised forgetting I was actually academically smart with no common sense. Though their confusion stung a bit I fully understood- I was going full science mode in explaining how people could win and let's just say it'll only get worse after battles start.
*********
"The rules are simple! Immobilize your opponent or force them out of the ring!! Don't be afraid to hurt your opponent 'cause we got Recovery Girl on standby to heal anyone right up! So get down and play hard and don't be afraid to play dirtayyyyy!" Uncle Mic yelled from his post in the announcing room.
I sat and watched from the stands as Izuku and Shinso walked onto the playing field for the first match of the tournament. I'd warned Izuku in advance about Shinso's quirk but he seemed to not listen that well given he spoke the first chance he got.
Shinso took control of Izuku's actions and guided him to the outer end of the rink, just a single step behind the white out-of-bounds line.
Even though I knew how it would play out, I couldn't help but be anxious for my best friend. I bit down on my thumb as I mumbled/chanted, "Come on Izuku... just snap out of it already!"
Suddenly a harsh wind irrupted from Izuku carrying dust and dirt towards Shinso and anyone else on ground level. So close to being defeated, Izuku stopped in place, defying Shinso's commands to move forward.
Panting heavily Izuku collected himself without crossing the line.
"HELL YEAH IZUKU! THAT'S IT!" I cheered from my now standing position in the stands.
I saw a small smile form on Izuku's lips before he turned back to face Shinso.
The purple-haired teen spat out some nasty comments about Izuku only making my friend more riled up.
Holding his now injured hand, Izuku walked over to Shinso with a determined look on his face. Shinso yelled some more and Izuku picked up his pace into a staggered jog.
Shinso just kept yelling about how he deserved to be here and I knew deep down Izuku was saying the same. Reaching Shinso fast Izuku pushed the stunned boy back hard, moving them both closer to the opposite sideline.
"Say something damn it!" Shinso yelled and punched Izuku's face.
Not flinching Izuku continued to push forward but just as he was about to get Shinso out he pulled a dirty move and punched Izuku's already broken fingers.
Izuku winced and let go of Shinso, allowing the boy to switch positions placing Izuku now closer to the edge. Shinso pushed Izuku but yet again, just as Izuku was about to cross the line then he pulled off an amazing move. Planting his foot Izuku shifted his body weight and threw Shinso over his head, somewhat resembling a move Bakugou had pulled in training.
In one swift motion, Shinso laid now flat on his back outside the ring.
"Shinso is out of bounds, Midoriya advances to the next match." Midnight's voice rang through the silence- well the short lived silence.
"YEAH IZUKU! THAT WAS AMAZING!! YOU WERE SO COOL!!!" I yelled, nearly falling over the railing holding me back.
Izuku looked towards the sound of my voice and smiled widely when he found me. Soon enough everyone else in the stadium joined in on my cheering and the battle area was cleared for the next match.
As I waited my eyes wandered to the pro-hero section of the stands. My eyes looked over each one of them spotting a few of my favorites before falling on a pair of vermillion wings.
'Omg omg omg omg OMG! HAWKS! HOLY SHIT I'M IN THE SAME WORLD AS HAWKS! AND I SEE MIRIKO TOO! I CAN'T THEY'RE TOO MANY HOT HEROES FOR ME TO FOCUS PROPERLY!' I could feel my cheeks start to heat up as I started at the number 3 hero.
Probably feeling my stare Hawks looked over towards me and locked eyes.
I immediately turned away and felt my face burn up even more. 'Wait wait wait... (Y/n) calm down. He's a twenty something year old man and unfortunately, you're a minor. Curse me for not making me older.'
"(Y/n)..." a cheeky voice called out my name.
"HUH WHAT? I WASN'T-"
"Pfff calm down! You're startled 'cause I caught you staring at Hawks right~" Mina laughed rubbing up on my shoulder.
"Whaaaa nooo. He's such a dweeb- got nothing but bird brains up there and they run into windows so-" I tried to play off my once very obvious actions.
"Sure..." Mina smirked but didn't let up the teasing.
'He's not even that hot anyway- I mean he's just- just so- WHO AM I KIDDING THAT MAN IS HAWT DIGGITY DAWG!' I buried my face in my hands from the embarrassment of the attraction but also the fact that I had just said 'hawt diggity dawg' unironically in my mind...
"Ok well my fight is next so I think I'mma head down," I peeled away from Mina.
"Ok! Good luck, I'm rooting for you!" Mina smiled and gave me a thumbs up.
I smiled back and went to the ground level and waited in the tunnel for Mic to announce the next match.
"Welcome back to the finals everyone! Sorry for that long wait!" Mic announced. "Welcome to the stage the boy with the electric personality, another hero in the making! DENKI KAMINARI!"
I could see Denki entering the area on the opposite side of me waving to the stands and taking in the attention. I rolled my eyes and laughed slightly at his actions before hearing my announcement.
"Versus his very own classmate from 1-A, the girl who's been taking this competition by storm! She seemed to have it easy in the last few events but how will she turn up now? IT'S (Y/N) (L/N)!" Mic called out my name and I walked out of the tunnel.
Cheers doubled in level upon my arrival and I walked out with my chin held high. I waved at the stands not wanting to just ignore them completely and started to sweat slightly at all the attention, this many eyes on me was kind of disturbing...
"Keep those eyes peeled! I wanna see a super flashy battle this time!!!"
"Umm excuse me- may I interrupt for a moment?" I raised my hand temporarily postponing the match.
"Uh yeah go right ahead!" Mic looked a bit confused by allowing me to talk. Mr. Aizawa also pulled forward in his seat next to the blond to get a better look at me.
"Well, I was just hoping that I would be able to use my powers to their full extent..." I started and watched as the many teachers around formed fearful expressions.
"I know that in school I usually have to keep my blades inside their cases to prevent injury but I find it kinda discriminatory. If other students are being injured regardless because of their classmates' quirks why can't I also use mine? Do you think I'm not skilled enough to stop myself from accidentally killing my opponent?" I asked, crossing my arms.
Some people in the stands started murmuring agreeing with me though they didn't know my exact restrictions in school. Though they were slightly concerned with the mention of accidentally killing someone.
"I don't see why not. I trust that if anything goes wrong you can fix it." Mr. Aizawa spoke for the first time through the speakers.
I bowed slightly towards them, "Thank you. Sorry for interrupting the match."
"So anyway- BEGIN!"
"You're still gonna hold your end of the bet right?" Denki asked, getting into a fighting position.
I nodded and dipped my hip a little, "Yep- but that only depends if you win. So give it your all, I don't want a boring match."
Denki smiled, "Alright then... I'll give it my all," Electricity started sparking around him. "ONE POINT THREE MILLION VOLTS!"
Denki pointed his palms to the ground and electricity surged towards me.
"THAT'S A LOT OF ENERGY! BUT WHY ISN'T (Y/N) DOING ANYTHING TO COUNTER OR PROTECT HERSELF!???"
Dust formed around us blocking viewers from seeing what had happened.
Soon it cleared and a very frizzy ball of (h/c) hair was visible standing proud and Denki was standing up straight with his thumbs in the air muttering, "Yeah..." over and over again.
"IT SEEMS AS THOUGH (Y/N) JUST TOOK THE ELECTRICITY HEAD ON! Considering only 2,700 volts is needed to kill a human I am very surprised and very thankful that she is ok... Denki you might have gone a bit overboard."
Since the match wasn't over yet I walked over to Denki's dazed figure. Now faces only inches away I studied him before leaning in and…
Poking his forehead causing him to topple over to the ground.
I moved closer and squatted so that I could whisper and only Denki heard it, "Our bet you know... I already thought of my first command. Denki Kaminari, you have to go out on a date with me."
Denki's face heated up even though he was in his dummy faze. I walked away and left him to the robotic medics that scooped him up and brought him away.
"AND THERE IT IS FOLKS! (Y/N) (L/N) HAS WON HER FIRST MATCH! I wonder what she said to Kaminari at the end there... he looked red in the face~" Mic teased from a distance.
I smiled up at Mic though with a hidden message underneath. Anyone else would just think of it as a playful gesture by Uncle Mic could tell that I meant: "If you don't shut the hell up right now I'm going to storm up there and beat the shit out of you. You lifeless little piece of-". Well, you get the idea, not nice thoughts.
I went back to the stands and sat next to Izuku who was furiously taking notes on Denki's quirk. Since he was getting a lot of angry stares I decided not to join in on this geek session.
Iida's match came up next and let's just say in nice terms he was used as marketing for Hatsume for a good 20 minutes. At least he won by forfeit and she got some publicity and attention from the hero-support department.
Then Mina and Aoyama were up. After dodging for a few minutes Mina sent a nasty uppercut to Aoyama's chin and won the match cleanly.
Next was Tokoyami and Momo. Tokoyami quickly won by pushing Momo back by a series of attacks causing her to step out of bounds without noticing. To be honest it wasn't a great showing from her. She made a sword and a baton instead of a light source that would've perfectly countered Tokoyami's quirk... but whatever.
After them was Kirishima and Oshiro, which I actually stayed around to watch intrigued by how their fight would play out. Since Oshiro and I took the places of Tetsutetsu and Shiozaki in the tournament.
"Here comes a passionate manly fighter from the hero course 1-A class... OUR VERY OWN EJIRO KIRISHIMA! And entering from the other side the water bender of 1-B, Yoko Oshiro!"
Oshiro and Kirishima entered the ring and the stands cheered loudly, me being one of the loudest not truly rooting for any one person. Though between you and me I was cheering for Oshiro internally- SHHH DON'T TELL ANYONE!
"Now I want a clean fair match, begin!" Midnight announced the start of their match.
Kirishima stood in a defensive position waiting for Oshiro to attack first, probably weary since he didn't know the extent of her quirk.
Oshiro accepts and sends out a water stream towards the red-haired boy. He quickly activated his quirk and shielded himself, though in doing so the water was sprayed outwards blocking his vision for a quick 2 seconds.
However, those 2 seconds were all Oshiro needed to send out another attack. She positioned water under her feet and used them as water jets to speed towards Kirishima. As his vision cleared he caught a quick glimpse of flowing white hair and smirking blue eyes before his world turned sideways.
Oshiro had spun and kicked Kirishima's legs from under him causing him to start falling. Before he hit the ground though, Oshiro kicked him hard in the chest, sending him flying towards the edge of the ring.
Not willing to give up yet, Kirishima dug his hardened fingers into the area floor, slowing his movement and eventually coming to a stop just before the white line.
He stood up quickly and now led a charge towards Oshiro who stood unbothered in the middle of the battleground. With his quirk unactivated so he could move, Kirishima sent a flurry of punches and kicks towards Oshiro which she either dodged or blocked with a pillar of water.
I smirked as I watched the event play out, impressed by Oshiro's quick and tactical thinking and Kirishima's ability to bounce right back. Mic commentated from the sides but I was too focused to even hear him.
Kirishima started to slow down, beginning to reach his stamina limit. Oshiro took advantage of this and sent her on a barrage of attacks towards him. Kirishima quickly activated his quirk and formed an X with his arms to prevent injury to his head.
'Wakanda forever. RIP Chadwick Boseman. Truly horrible we lost him...'
Kirishima began to be pushed back by Oshiro's blows. She'd increased the damage each blow did by encasing her fists and feet in water and controlling it to help gain more momentum and power.
'She could quickly finish this off if she wanted... but I guess she's like me and likes to play with her food before eating it- HA! I love this girl more and more with each passing moment!' I smiled to myself and watched as Kirishima inched closer and closer towards the edge of the ring.
Kirishima started to sweat more and his face showed signs of strain and exhaustion from keeping up for so long. 'Ah I get it, Oshiro you sly dog. Making him use his quirk for so long to make him tired and take him out with one final blow when his quirk is inactive! I like it~'
Sure enough, my guess was correct and Kirishima hit his limit. His skin unhardened and he tried to catch his breath, now only a few inches away from being eliminated.
"Sayonara~" Oshiro smiled before jumping and spinning in the air, landing a firm kick on Kirishima's side and sending him flying out of the ring.
"THERE IT IS! YOKO OSHIRO HAS WON WITH A FINAL KICK TOWARDS KIRISHIMA!!!! She'll be advancing to the next rouuunnnd!!" Mic yelled enthusiastically.
Oshiro smiled and waved at the stands as people cheered loudly. She then rushed off towards where Kirishima had landed and check to see if he was ok. I could only imagine how their conversation went, but I'm sure it went something like this;
"Are you ok?"
"heh- yeah... that was sure one manly kick-"
"I like to think it was a womanly kick- but that's good enough hahah!"
"Pfff- good match. It was a fun fight."
"Same to you, now go get fixed up."
Now I can't be certain that was how it went down, but I'm at least 99.999999999999% percent sure the word 'manly' was there at least once.
---
"It's time for the 8th and final match of the batch of matches! Now he was kind of a hotshot in middle school, and just look at that determined face!" Mic started.
'Now as much as I love Bakugou- but a lot less since I came to this world- his face right now is ugly- AND I KNOW NO ONE CAN ARGUE WITH ME BECAUSE IN THIS SCENE AS I LIVE AND BREATHE HE IS UGLY! But he's hot most of the time- so this doesn't count...' I debated with myself in my head.
"From the hero course, Katsuki Bakugou! Versus, the one I'm personally rooting for, also from class 1-A. OCHACO URARAKA! "
'Damn- thanks a lot "Uncle" Mic. I don't blame you though I love Uraraka too- man I gotta ask if I can call her Ochaco later her last name is too tiring...'
"Let the 8th match begin!"
Right after hearing these words, Uraraka took off running towards Bakugou leaning down and sprinting with determination.
When Uraraka got close, instead of starting with a strong right hook like he normally did, Bakugou sent an explosion directly on Uraraka, impairing our vision of the match for a second.
Gasps came from my classmates around me as I shifted forward in my chair still rooting for Uraraka despite my knowledge.
"I hope she's ok..." Izuku mumbled to my right.
"Don't worry, I'm sure she is," I replied without turning to face my friend.
As if on cue, Uaraka's clothing was visible again and launched towards Bakugou. Instinctively he blasted it thinking it was Uraraka, but it turned out only to be her jacket.
The smoke cleared more to reveal Uraraka now behind Bakugou ready to strike. Just as she was about to touch Bakugou he quickly reacted and blew her away.
Uraraka rolled away from the explosion's force but got right back into a fighting position.
"Man, Bakugou's got some seriously impressive reaction time..." I sighed, watching Uraraka run towards the blond again.
"Mhm," Izuku agreed with me. "He's always been really powerful..."
I squinted my eyes as the next scene played out. Bakugou swiped at Uraraka again, sending a more powerful explosion than he had before. The cement cracked and chunks of the floor flew into the air.
Izuku and Iida shuddered next to me, worried for Uraraka's wellbeing.
The smoke cleared a bit more and Uaraka yelled, "I GOT YOU!" before being blasted again, creating even more chunks of loose rock.
I winced and my classmates fretted and spoke things about how they weren't surprised but were also sorry for the brown-haired girl. I found the comments saying that they weren't surprised extremely rude and unexpected, but what could I do? Only change their minds with a though, but I believe I should keep people's opinions their's even with my power.
Explosion after explosion after explosion, Bakugou attacked relentlessly. Uraraka never gave up though, continuing to attack as well and maneuvering around Bakugou swiftly.
"This is truly shameful! Listen kid, you really wanna be a hero? Then stop acting like a bully! Stop toying with the girl and end this match!" Some random pro yelled from the round.
'Dude shut up. Given I don't know your name you're not too successful yourself. Just give Uraraka a chance to show off her plan, damnnn'
The crowd started booing Bakugou, only enraging the boy more.
"Where is the man who started this uproar? Are you a pro?" Aizawa took hold of the mic. "Because if you're serious you can go home and hang up your cape. I'd suggest looking into a new career. Bakugou's fierceness is an acknowledgement of his opponents strength, he knows she deserves to have made it this far. So he'll make sure he does whatever it takes to keep her at bay and come out on top."
'Yeah! Exactly! It's amazing that he's not holding back, well said Dadzawa.' I smiled and nodded at his words.
Uraraka crouched and touched her fingertips together releasing her quirk. Suddenly many of the rocks that Bakugou had torn up early came crashing down.
As the rocks fell and drew Bakugou's attention, Uraraka ran to finally land a hit on Bakugou. However, he aimed his hands towards the sky and with one giant explosion disintegrated all of the rocks and sent Uraraka tumbling away.
The smoke cleared to show Bakugou standing uninjured and Uraraka on all fours a bit away. In one last desperate burst, Uraraka tried to get up again but soon fell back to the ground out of exhaustion and backlash from Bakugou's attack. She even went as far as to try and crawl towards Bakugou only for Midnight to announce Bakugou's advancement and her defeat.
I sighed in my seat, not surprised but a little disappointed. The scene looked a lot more interesting and thrilling in person but to see my friend get beaten like that hurt.
Uraraka was carried off to the infirmary while Bakugou walked off by himself to his waiting room.
Izuku excused himself to go prepare for his battle and walked off towards the waiting rooms. I decided to go with him and check up on Uraraka along the way.
----------
Izuku opened the door to waiting room 2 and stood in shock.
"Izuku why'd you stop- Oh hi Uraraka!" I said, recognizing the girl's presence. I pushed past Izuku and took the seat next to the rosy-cheeked girl.
"Mann I lost, too bad," Uraraka chuckled and rubbed the back of her head.
"You were amazing out there, really impressive. Your plan with the broken debris was truly genius! Too bad that bastard was just barely strong enough to blast it all away..." I mumbled the last bit quietly enough that Uraraka couldn't hear. I placed my arm on the table and rested my head, looking at Uraraka from a sideways view.
She turned to look at me as I studied her injuries analyzing the damage done and how much had been healed.
'I'll heal her on my way out- why is her face so red? OMG IS SHE OK!?'
"Uraraka you ok?? You look kinda out of it!" I fretted over her.
Uraraka waved her arms around, "N-no don't worry I'm fine. I'm just a little bummed out about my fight. Guess I got a little carried away at the end thinking I had it in the bag."
Izuku stepped further into he room, "You seem fine? What happened to your injuries?"
Uraraka turned to him, "Recovery girl fixed me up! I'm all good now, just a few scratches."
"That's good-"
"Geez I didn't realize how powerful that Bakugou was! Now I realize how much more training I have to do," Uraraka ranted, shaking her fists.
"Actually," I grabbed Uraraka's hands. "Like I said in my speech, these events aren't played out like how real life would be. I mean we can't have any support gear or weapons here so it makes it a little unrealistic. In my opinion your quirk would be best used with a huge hammer or sword! Since your quirk just relieves the weight of an object and not the mass, you could swing a larger item easier but not lose any of the impact or potential damage it would deal. In other words, a giant war hammer would work so well for you! Reducing the effort you need to give in and still packing a huge punch would be amazing! Plus I bet you'd look super cool with a huge weapon..." I looked up to see Uraraka's drained face from my "science mode".
"Oh- I'm sorry I got a bit carried away. Your quirk is just so cool-" I apologized and felt my cheeks heat up from both Uraraka and Izuku's stares.
"No, no it's cool. Thank you, plus your quirk is really cool too! Super OP!" Uraraka smiled.
"Pfft sure... but not as cool as yours in my opinion~" I softly smiled and looked into Uraraka's eyes.
She turned away quickly, "Sure- agree to disagree!"
"..." Izuku stared at us. "Anyways, I have to go get ready for my fight! Glad that you're alright Uraraka."
Uraraka smiled, "Thank you, good luck!" With that Izuku smiled and exited the room.
I didn't move from my position and stared at the table before speaking,
"Uraraka- what's wrong."
"..."
"I can tell there is something wrong with you, please tell me. I want to help." I looked into her eyes again and she looked down and sighed.
"Everything's fine I promise!" She looked at me with a fake smile. "I'm fine..."
'I guess I'm not close enough to have her open up yet... understandable. I won't push it anymore.'
"Ok, you won't tell me so I won't ask anymore. But please, when you're ready come to me for anything." I pushed back my seat and stood up. I began to walk to the door but stopped just. as I passed the brown-haired girl.
I placed my right hand on her shoulder, "If you need anything just ask and I'll give it to you, anything." Uraraka didn't respond and I took it as a sign to leave.
I walked out the door and closed it behind me. I walked down the hallway a bit before stopping and slamming my head into the wall.
"STUPID!" I yelled at myself. "Why would you ask her that? Just because you know things doesn't mean you get all up in their personal lives... ugh."
'Maybe I made it even worse between us after that- who knows how she took that...' I sighed and continued my way back to my classmates.
I passed a hallway and caught a glimpse of red and green figures. I backtracked and looked around the corner to see Izuku and Ende*vor talking.
I closed my eyes,'Nah- I don't even wanna watch this again.'
When I opened my eyes again Ende*vor was walking towards me, though probably not noticing my presence yet. My heart stopped and I quickly teleported to an empty hallway before he saw me- or at least I hope he didn't see me. Didn't really matter either way, but I was trying to avoid him the best I could through this entire thing. If I showed off my power and then saw him I'd probably be offered to engage in a quirk marriage with Todoroki-
I shook off the thought and found my way back to my classmates just as the next battle started.
----------
Todokoki and Izuku's fight passed with Izuku yelling some stuff and Todokri using his fire and... ok I fell asleep and didn't actually watch since the first time I watched their fight I was a little uncomfortable with their private conversation. I'm sure it was interesting but I didn't need to see Izuku get hurt a lot again not knowing if I'd lose consciousness and attack Todoroki instead....
JOKING! I'm joking... I think- ANYWAYS! Sorry Izuku- I was very tired.
Though I did wake up to immense winds just as Izuku and Todokri were about to destroy each other with their powers. Fortunately I didn't need to step in since Midnight and Cementos stepped in just in time.
I looked down at the scene as the steam cleared and saw Izuku's shattered figure slumped against a wall out of bounds. My eyes widened, 'I didn't remember him being beaten this badly!?'
"There, Midoriya is out of bounds! Todoroki wins!" Midnight announced.
I teleported next to Izuku and checked to see how he was but I refrained from touching him since I was in shock.
"I-Izuku? Are you ok?!" My voice shook. Izuku's unconscious body didn't respond to my calls. I swept Izuku up and held him in my hands and he groaned from the sudden movement and pain.
I looked back at Todoroki standing half naked in the ring with sharp eyes. Ever since coming here and befriending Izuku I'd become way more protective of him, reducing my feelings for all of the other characters significantly. So as of right now- I was pissed at the two-toned boy.
I looked away and teleported Izuku to the infirmary leaving the people in the stands to their own thoughts.
Now in the infirmary, I placed Izuku on a bed carefully and scanned his body. I used a quirk to analyze his health and found he had a few broken ribs, arms, and his shoulder was fractured.
I sighed, "I'll fix you up but then I gotta go to my fight... man I wish I could just give him control over his quirk- so many things would be solved and saved." I looked down at Izuku, "but I can't do that for your sake, it wouldn't be right."
I raised my hands over his body and watched as a blue light emitted from his skin and the outer scrapes and wounds heal. After a few seconds Izuku's body was fully fixed but I decided to leave him in a slumber state so he wouldn't know.
I sat on the edge of Izuku's bed and checked the clock on the wall, 'It's time for my fight now-'
I ruffled Izuku's green locks and smiled at his peaceful face before getting up to leave.
----------
"One of the crowd favorites! Has she come to take the win or suffer defeat? It's (Y/n) (L/n)! And she's going up against the speedster himself, Tenya Iida!" Mic announced our names as Iida and I walked out to cheers.
'Now as I remember it, they didn't focus on this fight in the anime and just briefly showed Iida pushing Shiozaki out of bounds... heh I guess I'll make it that quick as well.' I glanced at Iida and made up a quick plan on how to defeat him.
I wasn't planning to use Zodiac at all and only if I needed I would teleport since I was saving stamina for the next fights.
Iida and I met in the middle and had a stare down before the signal to begin.
"I wish you the best of luck (Y/n). Don't hold back." Iida pushed up his glasses in the stereotypical anime-glasses-guy way, and I swear they glowed.
"Same to you," 'But I will be holding back for the sake of your life.'
We turned away and backed up some distance before Mic yelled, "Begin!!!"
Iida started running straight towards me at lightning speed. I held my ground and didn't move a muscle. Now instead of just dodging so he'd fly past me, I waited till he actually attacked.
Iida threw a few punches and tricks which I easily blocked or dodged. I stayed on the defensive for a bit showing off my hand-to-hand defensive skills before switching to offense.
Iida put his full body weight into a punch, which is a big mistake if you're fighting someone, so I stepped aside to dodge. He flew in front of me and stumbled a bit before turning around and getting a face full of my shoe.
He stumbled back a bit more as I readied myself, jumping slightly with my hands up.
Iida smiled and ran at me again and we engaged in full combat, both of us attacking and defending at the same time. This went on for a few minutes before I started to get a bit more aggressive.
Punch after punch, kick after kick, I pushed Iida back towards the white line. Then suddenly I kicked him extremely hard, getting him a bit of airtime and finally activated a quirk.
I teleported behind him in mid air and kicked him again, sending him higher in the air. I teleported again, punching him up a few times, then teleported adding a few more hits. This repeated several times and I brutally beat Iida up.
The stands had died down as they watched me mercilessly strike the boy and even Mic had stopped commentating and just watched, noting not to get on my bad side ever.
With one last kick I sent Iida higher and teleported above him. I twisted my body so that my head was now facing the ground and sped towards him fist out. With one solid hit I sent Iida back to the ground at high speeds. Now of course I made sure this wouldn't kill him and even went as far as to activate a thin shield around him, though not enough to stop all of the pain from reaching him.
Iida slammed to the ground and I heard the audience wince unanimously. Dust formed on impact and I teleported back down and stood next to the boy.
The dust cleared to show me standing perfectly fine and Iida struggling to stand up again though only failing.
"Uhh- (Y-Y/n) wins! Somebody get that boy medical attention fast cause that was definitely a knockout." Mic announced, trying to lighten the mood again.
The crowd was shocked but soon came too and a roar of cheers and clapping.
I first made sure Iida was decent before taking it all in and waving around. 'Maybe I was a little too harsh but I needed to blow off a bit of steam and Iida wasn't the best person to line up against me- sorry buddy. At least I fight Todoroki next, that'll be exciting.'
I walked out of the arena and headed to my break room to wait out the rest of the time, ignoring some of the scared glances I received as I walked by people.
'Ah man- if they're scared now who knows what'll happen later...'

NOPE I'M DONE! I'M NOT WRITING ANYMORE TODAY- TOO MANY WORDS!
How the hell is this 7000+ words long and I didn't even get to the semi finals 😭? What did I even write- cause I can't remember????
(Editor: Mineta, dear author..Mineta pin of shame😔)
I know it's disappointing we didn't get to the real fights- but next chapter I will! But I couldn't bare to put it in this chapter cause it'd end up being 12,000+ words long if I did-
BUT ANYWAYS! Next chapter will be exciting! Again sorry for not being exciting in this chapter- honestly it was kinda boring. The least I could do was add some flirting to make up for that- so there you go.
Just a reminder!! There are no relationships in this book since I don't want to upset people by wanting some characters in relationships and others not- plus I can't handle writing that stuff- grosses me out. I was so uncomfortable writing Uraraka's scene and I'm not going back to check if it was good! There'll only be mass flirting in this book- minus the whole Denki date. I hope you acknowledge that (Y/n) and Denki are really like best friends that flirt for fun. Nothing will ruse and no one is being friend zoned since- I don't feel like explaining. Whatever, you get it!
Also... I've had people call me Author-chan... and I get that's a thing but it kinda makes this 13 yo a little uncomfy... So please just address me as Author or use my real name Izzy!
Love you all! <3
