Akane was currently carrying the two exhausted teens to the infirmary. They really went bonkers crazy for their fight, Akane had to admit that. Especially with the fact that they basically bulldozed an entire multi-story building impressed her.
But now both of them were knocked out and she had to carry them to the infirmary. How troublesome.
"Hey, are there still beds free for some idiots?"
She entered the infirmary, surprising Recovery Girl with the two wounded boys she was currently carrying like sacks of potatoes.
"What the hell did you do, to get these two boys to such a state?"
Akane just smiled, like always.
"The just went all out in the battle trial. Man, for a moment I was pretty sure that these two were about to kill each other and I would have to intervene. But as you see, it ended pretty well!"
"You call that ending pretty well?"
"Yeah, can't you see how full of live the two are?"
Recovery Girl wanted to say something, but in that moment, she could hear groans coming from the boys. She just sighed.
"Sigh, just lay them carefully out on the beds. I'll deal with it."
"Alrighty! Thank you, bye!"
And with that Akane disappeared from the infirmary. Chiyo smiled for a moment, before she gave her attention to the patients again.
"This year in UA will be quite turbulent, won't it?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey guys! Did I miss something? If yes, could you shortly sum it up for me?"
Everyone was looking at her, dumbfounded that she was able to transport the two grown boys to the infirmary that was a good way away, in about three minutes, that was including the returning time!
"Ahem, not really. We were about to evaluate the results of the battle, please line in and do you want to start? After all you have..."
"My task to do? Don't worry, I'll have the others do an analysis and just add my own opinion later on. It's important to hear the opinions of others after all."
Once again everyone had to look away from Akane with how shining she was, but after a couple of seconds the situation returned to normality.
"Well, this match the MVP was young Iida!"
"Huh, but wasn't the winner the hero team?"
"Well, you are right young Asui, but why could you possibly think so? Anyone knowing why?"
He asked that question in the round, at the end Momo was the one that answered the question.
"Yes, it's because Iida was the one who was the most adapted to the situation, it was especially impressive how he ran the entire wall back up to stop Uraraka. Observing Bakugous fight it was clear that he was emotion driven, fighting because of some personal grudge, making his reasoning arbitrary. This is just the same with Midorya. Uraraka was lucky that some stray rock from the fight of these two hit Iida in the back of the head, otherwise she would have lost. Meanwhile Iida devised a counterstrategy against his opponents, which ultimately ended up being used against him, but even then, he kept a cool mind and saved the situation before it was too late. It was just too bad that ended up being knocked out by the collateral damage the two created, which in itself is a whole other problem we can be talking about. At the end, the heroes team victory was ultimately just decided by luck and dangerously close to breaking the rules."
Everyone was silent after Momo's detailed explanation. It was just too impressive, even Akane had to admit it with a whistle, which was the only sound that broke the silence.
'Holey Moley! She almost said it all! Can Akane even add something.'
"Well done, young Yaoyorozu. Seigi, can you add something to her evaluation."
Akane put her hands on her chin, before scratching her head a bit and taking her mask off, revealing a pair of purple eyes.
"Well to be honest, this was a long and detailed, subjective analysis of this battle. There really isn't much to add to, if I didn't have a few points to disagree with."
Everyone gasped at that shocking statement of hers. She had something to say against that?
"Well to be honest, this may be a bit clouded with my personal experience, so do you want to listen to it?"
Momo was the first to say something to that.
"Seigi, even it's a bit subjective, I trust that you can still pull an objective point out of it, didn't you say yourself that communication was important?"
Akane smiled as Momo said that. As expected of her.
"Well, first of you said that the reason these two fought was arbitrary, I have to disagree with that. After all, life is stranger than fiction sometimes, it isn't unusual for two who know each other to find each other on different ends of a battle and even if that wasn't the case, it was a good decision on Bakugous side to take on Midorya, simply because of the nature of his quirk. Exploding sweat. Using that ability inside would have caused great damage and as I am sure you would have said it, 'using a large-range attack in an indoor arena would be idiotic'. Furthermore it was a good decision on Izuku's side to take the battle outside, and that wasn't even the main plan, I am sure that he initially planned to knock Bakugou out with that attack that launched him outside, sadly because of his outstanding reflexes he managed to block it with his grenade gloves, avoiding most of the damage, seeing this Midorya took him on outside, which in itself was a good decision, especially considering that he tried to keep Bakugou away from the building with the bomb as long as possible so no accidents could happen. Furthermore, and I am sure that the two would agree with me, Iida and Uraraka would have just stood in the way of them if they were present at the battle, right?"
Tenya and Ochaco tensed for a moment as Akane directed their gazes to them, but they quickly nodded, agreeing to what she said. They honestly really didn't want to get in the battle that they basically could hear the entire time from another building.
"So, in conclusion, I think it was a good decision of the two of them to take their personal fight outside, even if they tried to keep a calm state of mind throughout the battle, I am sure sooner or later the two would have gone to each other's automatically, basically disqualifying both of their teams if they stayed in the building. Though admittedly, they carried it a bit too far and ended up destroying another building. Man, imagine the collateral damage they would have to pay for!"
Everyone was silent again. What kind of conflict were these two in? They were the first and second placed in the entrance exam, so it might be thing of overtaking each other.
All Might took a deep breath in, absolutely not knowing what to say. Momo's explanation was a detailed, objective analysis of the fight, but Akanes explanation was an objective analysis of the mental state these two were in and how they still managed to make a halfway sound decision afterwards. The spit was basically caught in his neck.
"And what of Iida and Uraraka, Seigi?"
"Well, there isn't much to say about them. They followed my advice well, seized each other up during battle and never let their guard down. It was the perfect example of a fair duel in my book. Well, Uraraka got a bit lucky with the debris, but as always, luck is just a variable that you can't read, but regardless, it's still a variable. If I had to give Iida advice..."
She turned around towards him and pointed at him.
"Be a bit lucky yourself or follow your guts! If you have a feeling in your stomach, or a tingling in the back of your head, follow it! Maybe you'll dodge a stray projectile or something!"
Everyone laughed after her advice. It was silly, but at the end she just said to Iida to never give up, even if the circumstances are against you, you should just face them head on!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bakugou was waking up in the infirmary, bathed in sweat and breathing heavily. He remembered the battle again.
"Aw man, I lost to Deku, didn't I?"
He clutched his head, trying to remember the fight again, then his memories came flooding back like a torrent.
After Izuku punched him with that punch he managed to block it with his gloves to his luck. It still hurt like getting hit by a car though.
He was launched out of the building, but he managed to stay conscious despite everything, then immediately after Izuku jumped down after him.
Looking each other in the eye they both took stance and immediately ran towards each other. They exchanged a couple of punches, before separating again. This repeated a couple of times, until they were inside another building.
"So, you are serious, Deku? Well, you were stalking me, right? So, you should know the nature of my quirk. Well, I can store the sweat in my bracers, so you know what this means, right?"
Izuku gulped. Yes, he knew about it and he wasn't amused of having to face that.
"Brace yourself, or you might seriously die."
Katsuki had a crazed smile on his face, before pulling the pin out. Luckily, his bracers survived his punch well enough.
"Kaboom!"
He released his explosion, incinerating the first floor of the building. He was sure that he was about to hear a scolding by his teacher, but surprisingly it never came.
"Sensei, let those two be. This might be training exercise and Bakugou is supposed to protect the stronghold, but currently he is nowhere near there! These two need to beat the absolute crap out of each other!"
All Might didn't know why, but he had the feeling that he could trust her here, so he let it pass.
Anyways, after that blast it was revealed that Izuku managed to dodge it and was now coming out of the dust cloud it created.
"One for All, sixty percent!"
And he hit with a similar strong attack. Katsuki knew that he had to dodge that one, or it could be the end of this battle for him, or his gauntlets if he would use them again to protect himself, but he didn't want to destroy them so fast, so dodging that attack it was.
Izuku punched out and Katsuki was barely able to roll out of the way of the blast radius of the punch. If Katsukis attack incinerated the floor, Izuku's attack made the unstable black wall crumble, collapsing the first floor of the building.
Katsuki was pissed.
"So, you were hiding this awesome power from me all these years? Who do you think you are, making me seem like an idiot? Why didn't you reveal it sooner, you could have been standing beside me in Aldera?"
He really wondered, even if he didn't awaken his quirk with the age of four, even if he was a late bloomer, having such a strong quirk meant reputation, so why didn't he reveal it sooner? He at least had it right before the UA entrance exam if he had so much control.
"What do you know! You think that I got this quirk on some random day suddenly?"
He was a bit taken aback how he lashed out.
"Yes, you are right. I was useless, I never stepped a foot in front of me to realize my dream, just lamenting about my fate of being quirkless, cursing the world because of my own inability."
Izuku was clenching his fists.
"But then I met Akane, saying all the things I needed to hear, opening my eyes. Throughout that entire damn last year, I followed a training regime she made for me, working my body to the bones, no, to the point of breaking, but I didn't want to give up. Yes, she might have done all of this longer than me, but I wanted to prove to myself that I can be a hero even without a quirk."
He took a big breather in, now was the time, he was going to bullshit a lot.
"Until I suddenly awoke my quirk! The excitement I felt on this day was real, I carved my own fate, and my inactive quirk awoke after a year of bone grinding training, just right before the UA entrance exam, but look at that, I can't control my quirk, what a surprise! So Akane had to seal most of its power so I won't harm myself, but that's beside the point. I just realized why you did all these things to me all these years and I wanted to say..."
Izuku gave Katsuki a big meaningful smile. Katsuki had to scoff as he saw that in front of him. At least he finally stopped pitying himself.
"...you were right, even if quirkless I should have taken my fate in my own hands and showed everyone. We quirkless can be awesome too, sorry that I needed someone else to make me realize that."
Katsuki almost had to laugh as he heard that, but he suppressed that, they were still in battle after all.
"What did you say? 60%, so that wasn't your all? You better show it to me with your next punch or you might die with the next attack for real this time!"
"Oh, I planned to do that!"
And so, both of them smiled as they unleashed their current most powerful attack at each other.
"HOWITZER IMPACT!"
"ONE FOR ALL, ALL OUT ATTACK!"
The building collapsed after the impact of these two attacks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At ground beta:
Akane was currently circling her shoulders, loosening herself up to the battle.
"Akane, don't you have any advice for me to fight?"
She just approached Torus ears to whisper in them. She shuddered as Akane blew in them.
"Just discombobulate them."
"Huh?"
...give me stones, plz.
But seriously, I don't know what to write here.
