บท 46: Chapter 44 Akira v/s Bakugo
As Akira's sand shield shimmered under the room's dim lighting, he stood motionless, his calm demeanor unshaken by Bakugo's relentless assault.
In other words, as Akira's strength increased, so too would the impenetrability of his sand shield. Right now, Bakugo's attacks were akin to a child throwing pebbles at a fortress—ineffectual and, frankly, laughable.
To Akira, Bakugo's strength was not even worth taking seriously. Compared to Midoriya, who had All Might's guidance and sparred frequently with Akira, Bakugo lacked both the technique and experience required for a true challenge.
"Damn it, you piss me off!" Bakugo's voice roared through the room, echoing like a storm on the verge of breaking.
"You can't even touch me," Akira said nonchalantly, his hands resting at his sides. "Let alone break my defense."
"Then I'll blow up every grain of that sand!" Bakugo yelled, charging forward once again.
**Boom! Boom! Boom!**
Each of Bakugo's explosions lit up the room, but the sand shield effortlessly neutralized every attack. The gap between the two fighters became increasingly evident.
Meanwhile, outside the smokescreen of their battle, Midoriya and Uraraka exchanged uneasy glances.
"What... what are they doing?" Uraraka asked, confusion coloring her tone.
Midoriya squinted at the chaotic scene. "It looks like Kacchan's trying to use this training as an excuse to fight Akira. But..." He paused, analyzing the situation. "If All Might hasn't intervened, it probably means he's allowing it."
"But what about the training exercise?" Uraraka asked, her brows furrowing.
Midoriya straightened up. "Our objective is still the same. We need to secure the simulated nuclear weapon while they're distracted."
Uraraka nodded. "Right. Let's take this chance to slip past them."

A Blaze of Fury
Inside the smokescreen, Bakugo snarled, his frustration boiling over.
"You know how my Quirk works, don't you?" Bakugo began, glaring at Akira with wild eyes. "The sweat glands in my palms secrete a nitroglycerin-like substance that I can ignite at will."
Akira's expression remained neutral, unimpressed by the explanation.
Bakugo sneered and pointed to his gauntlets. "These gauntlets aren't just for show. They can store my explosions and unleash them all at once!"
With a flick of his finger, Bakugo activated the mechanism. "Let's see your 'absolute defense' handle this!"
A golden light erupted from Bakugo's gauntlets, and a massive explosion engulfed the room. The walls trembled, and debris scattered as smoke and dust filled the air.
In the observation room, All Might's expression tightened.
"That was reckless," Iida said, his voice tinged with disapproval.
"Is Akira alright?" Yaoyorozu asked, her concern evident.
All Might forced a reassuring smile. "He'll be fine."

Unyielding Defense
Amidst the thick black smoke, Bakugo slowly approached, his chest heaving from exertion.
"How's that? Did your so-called absolute defense hold up?" Bakugo called out, his voice dripping with venom.
A calm voice emerged from the haze. "What do you think?"
Bakugo's eyes widened, his fists clenching tightly. As the smoke cleared, Akira stood in the same spot, his sand shield unscathed.
"How...?" Bakugo muttered, disbelief flashing across his face.
"That was your best shot?" Akira said, his tone dismissive. "Pathetic."
Then, Akira turned his gaze toward the door. "And to the two sneaky ones outside—yes, I've noticed you."
Bakugo snapped his head toward the doorway, spotting Midoriya and Uraraka.
"Found us!" Midoriya muttered, biting his lip.
"What are you two doing here?" Bakugo growled. "Trying to steal the win?"
Akira smirked. "Let me guess, Bakugo—are we continuing this duel, or are you finally going to focus on the exercise?"
"Nuclear weapons?" Bakugo repeated, scoffing. "Who cares about that? I'm going to settle this with you first!"
Akira's smile faded, his expression sharpening. "Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you. If I get serious, this will be over in an instant."
"Big words for someone who's done nothing but hide behind sand," Bakugo sneered, adrenaline coursing through his veins.
Meanwhile, Uraraka blinked, glancing nervously at Midoriya. "Uh... are we just being ignored here?"
Midoriya sighed. "It... sure seems like it."
