Chương 43: Letting loose - Season 2 - Chapter 35 (38)
So I've decided to postpone releasing my second book do too many ideas, yes it's possible.
So my current plan is to have Living Singularity as my main book and have my second book switching between what I want to write, but when deciding what book I wanted to do, yes the vote did matter but it's also what I feel comfortable doing too, I started getting to many ideas and also had to balance what I thought people would like.
Plus I also had to decide if I wanted romance (almost guaranteed yes) and if so who would be in said romance, like would I gender bend characters if needed (probably not, but for some of you it would be better than making it BL (Boy Love)).
So I'm just gonna let my head clear a bit and then truly decide on what I want to do.
Don't worry it's not a lack of wanting to write it's actually the opposite, it's currently me wanting to write a lot but making sure it's what people want to read and what I want to write, just blame it on my overthinking issue.
But I figured that if I were to start a second book it would be best to do it in a way that's proper and not when I'm in a state where I can't decide.
Also I really need to re-read my own work and go through my notes, I hate notes.

MC POV
The fourth round begins, Tenya Ida Vs. Mei Hatsume.
It went about as you would have expected, a lot of our classmates were laughing, watching Ida get used like a dress-up doll as Kaminari put it.
"The winner is Tenya Ida by forfeit"
'Suppose next match will actually be an interesting one, no offense to Ida'.
A bit of time passes before Mic's voice comes over the speaker again.
"ON TO THE NEXT ROUND, A GIRL WHO DANCED HER WAY TO THE TOP, MINA ASHIDO FROM THE HERO COURSE VERSUS THE HEAD OF CLASS 1-B ITSUKA KENDO!", the two approach the stage, Mina simply enjoying herself and Kendo carrying a semi-serious look on her face.
The two exchange a small greeting before getting into position.
"START!"
The two immediately move, Mina closing the distance with her dancing skills and 「Acid Skates」.
Sending a need towards Kendo she is quickly thrown off balance due to her slippery feet.
Kendo showing off her Martial Arts knowledge and using Mina's speed to her own benefit.
Mina manages to quickly recover, rolling on the ground she sprays a veil of acid towards her opponent.
The acid is quickly thrown away by a huge hand that appears from Kendo, burning the skin she quickly re-shrinks her hands.
Mina twists around on the ground sending a kick towards Kendo's face as she twists into a rotating hand stand.
Quickly blocking the kick Kendo sends an elbow into the thigh of the leg before wrapping her arms around said leg, twisting her body on the spot she preforms something akin to a shoulder throw, slamming Mina's back into the floor.
Mina now dazed attempts to fight back but is only met with a huge fist to the entire body before being grabbed and quickly thrown out of the arena.
"Man she's not one to play around huh", Kirishima rubs his neck a bit remembering the beatings he's gotten from her before.
"Itsuka Kendo wins by ring-out", as Midnight talks Setsuna makes an odd noise into my arm.
"Something the matter?"
"No, it's just that I wanna see a flashy fight, these fights are cool and all but it would be cooler to see something like what Todoroki did again. Suppose it's just boring sitting and waiting, don't get me wrong it's fun and exciting to see my classmates fight but it's suppose to be a festival", Setsuna steals Kuro from my lap, playing with her tail as the arena is cleaned up by Cementoss.
"I guess, but the point is to show off what we have so we can get to see exciting things and do exciting things, if the present isn't fun and plan the present to make the future better", I wrap my arm around her as the next round goes to begin.
"...Good advice"
"QUICKLY MOVING ON TO THE NEXT ROUND IT'S THE HERO COURSES BEAUTY MOMO YAOYOROZU VERSUS THE GHOST OF THE HERO COURSE REIKO YANAGI".
"Should he be saying that", Jiro leans a bit forward playing closer attention to this fight than any other.
"You wouldn't expect it but yes, the point of this festival is to show off what we have, there are many hero's in the entertainment district despite never really fighting villains or criminals. Momo has done well to show off her skills but many would immediately see her looks before her skill in the hero district", as I was explaining the match started, Momo quickly creating a cannon, shooting a web like metal rope.
Before the trap can hit Yanagi waves her hand as it stops in mid air, quickly flying back to Momo as she dodges out of the way.
(Just like piccolo taught her, please get the reference)
Momo quickly stands back up dashing at her opponent, Yanagi herself attempts to pull the trap back, again throwing it at Momo, but is to late as Momo manages to close enough that Yanagi would ensnare herself too.
From Momo's now revealed gut a stun gun is pulled out quickly stunning Yanagi as she is sent to the floor.
From Momo a bunch of cloth flies out getting quickly tied around her opponent rather tightly, her hands also being restrained.
"Wow Yaoyorozu's quirk is amazing!", Midoriya seems to be writing away in his stacker manual as he starts muttering to himself.
"Is that what you paid attention to?", he glances up from his book glancing at me.
Sighing I begin my small rant.
"You really only paid attention to her quirk instead of her quick analysis of her opponents abilities, of which she had little info on, as well as her opponents skills and choose one of the safest methods to end the match", speaking of the match it is called as Yanagi requires her hands to use her quirk.
(Well never said she flails her arms when using her quirk, the objects moving along with how she moves her hands, I believe Yanagi's quirk is more telekinesis instead of psychokinesis, the difference being that tele- normally relies on physical movements but not contact as well as psycho- allowing pure thought to use the ability and it works on energy, though tele- can work on energy depending on the variation. Sorry had to flex some knowledge)
"I-I see", Midoriya quickly starts writing again though in a different spot, presumably adding what I told him to her info doc.
"Actually now that I think about, what does my page look like in there", Midoriya freezes a bit before quickly moving towards me.
"Do you wanna see! I'm quite proud of it, I've been able to see a lot of your quirk and had a lot of cool ideas and ways you could use it", Midoriya flips through his book before handing it to me.
A page with a sketch of my own appearance in my hero costume, which is well drawn, rest in the top right corner taking up 20-30% of the page. The page goes over many of my abilities, though named differently they seem to go over my general abilities I've shown in my open fights. It doesn't have a lot of my techniques or moves as I've yet to openly shown them, only small things I've done here and there plus it goes over my skills as a whole, though it's outdated.
In the bottom right of the page there are a few general questions regarding my quirk and a couple of ideas of ways I could use it, most of which I've though of as it's just general applications of Gravity control, but there is an interesting question.
"Hey Midoriya what made you come up with this one", I point towards the questions well in question as he glances at it.
"Oh that one, well I had been doing some research on gravity and I constantly saw the talk of the Theory of General Relativity or Einstein's theory, I then saw the talk of Time Dilation, the pace at which time passes and I was curious if you would ever be able to control it, letting you accelerate and decelerate how time moves around you", I glance back down at the page the words "Time Dilation?" written there.
"It's an interesting question but I don't think I can really answer it, sorry", he nods having expected this answer.
"I-"
"ONTO THE NEXT ROUND, THE MVP OF HIS OWN TEAM DURING LAST ROUND FUMIKAGE TOKOYAMI VERSUS THE SHINING SPARK KATSUKI BAKUGOU", only if it were any other opponent would this have been good for Tokoyami.
I stand up from my spot, handing the book back to Midoriya.
"Well I gotta go, it's my turn up next", before I can walk away Setsuna gives me a quick hug from behind whispering a good luck to me as she goes back to kidnapping Kuro's tail from her, Kuro of which simply enjoying the affection and sitting still.

MC POV - Minutes Later
"-THE LIVING SHIELD HIMSELF EJIRO KIRISHIMA FROM THE HERO COURSE VERSUS THE- 'Failure' -Y/N NEO SEKAI".
'What?', my head shifts a bit as if looking for something.
{"Is something the matter"}
'...No everything is alright, probably just my nervousness getting to me, but just do a check something towards illusions or mental interference'
"START!"
{"Any mental interferences or illusions would almost immediately be recognized up to a certain level, nothing is being detected but you aren't giving me full access only half"}
'What do y-', I quickly use my quirk to dodge to my left.
"Everything all right you look lost there", Kirishima retracts his arm going into his pseudo-boxers stance.
"I'm alright just got lost in thought", I quickly shift my stance 'suppose it's time to show off'.
I place my left leg ahead of my body my right leg at the back of my body, my left hand slightly slacked down is also at the front of my body, my right hand mimicking to the back.
Renewal Taekwondo: Basic Stance
(Think standing flat against a wall that your also trying to cross just your chest outwards and your body slightly slack or ignore this A/N entirely. You can also google this stance, not hard to find)
Kirishima raises his eyebrow as he puts his arms up as I dash towards him, landing directly in front of him I stop throwing a left kick, my heel curving through the air in a diagonal like arc.
He attempts to block by stance shifts as my left leg wraps around his arms -having shifted to a vertical kick-, locking them in place before pulling his guard down destroying it, using my momentum, and quirk, my right leg lifts off the floor -my left planting itself on the ground- as my foot loops around his neck throwing him into the floor.
Renewal Taekwondo: Hoe Grab into Spinning Top Kick
(All moves can be found with pictures on the God of Highschool wiki)
I quickly make distance again, as my left foot meets the ground I feel a bit of strain in it.
'Already? I can barely perform the moves without my quirk as is but this is also some heavy strain. Renewal Taekwondo weakness number three a heavy burden on the body if not properly trained, even perfectly copying it will still harm the user as the muscles can't take the stress. Thankfully my body is trained and stronger the Jin Mori's but still this is a lot, guess that's what I get, after all it's my first time ACTUALLY executing one of the moves physically with my real body'.
I quickly get back into the Basic Stance as close the distance I quickly place my right foot down and attempt to use my momentum to send a knee into Kirishima's gut, R.T: Baekdu.
As my foot collides with his stomach I notice something is off, the feeling is different and he doesn't seem to struggle with the attack as much.
Immediately I feel a hot pain in my left hip, the small repulsive barrier around my body being torn through as I use my quirk to make distance between us.
Quickly finding my footing I notice a small gash across my left hip, glancing up I notice only Kirishima's hands are harden, and to a heavy degree to the point they've morphed.
"I learned this trick, the one that we worked on together, I finally managed to properly learn how to use it whenever I needed during the two weeks we had.
A smile creeps onto my face as I immediately return to my stance, he got to show me something new too today huh?
Guess I gotta one up him, but how... I haven't learned any other styles yet, still need to work on Swordless more and some of the ITF Taekwondo, maybe even Full Contact Karate.
I shake my head getting the thoughts of future training out of my head, 'focus on the now not the later, this is a fight enjoy it'.
Fine let's try this then, I activate my quirk increasing the gravity around me, 「Gravity x5」, activating my breathing technique I feel my body start straining as I close the distance once again throwing out multiple kicks trying to create an opening.
Kirishima himself starts quickly swapping what limb is hardened and how much, tanking most of my hits we both have smiles on our face.
I send on last right kick towards his guard, placing it back down onto the ground I stretch my leg out dragging it across the ground I use my momentum and quirk to draw a 3/4's circle , swiping his legs outs, R.T: Lowest Hwechook.
As Kirishima falls to the ground I jump back creating a bit of distance before bursing forward in a jump, drawing my left foot in the air I bring it downwards "「Gravity x10」".
My foot collides with laying down Kirishima, who managed to barely guard, as a huge puff of smoke is created, cracks forming the entire combat arena.
A couple seconds pass like this.
"Cementoss!", at Midnights words a bunch of cement starts moving around shifting the air away revealing myself standing over a bloodied Kirishima, though only a bit more than he was before if you ignore his arms.
Blood slowly seeps from my mouth as I cough a bit.
"You give?"
"Y-yeah", Kirishima lets his arms fall to the floor going slack as his breathing is labored.
Not he most extravagant or greatest fight but it was meant to show off techniques, no necessarily be flashy that's not for another round, basically the next one.
I sit on the floor beside him as we both smile at each other.
"The winner is Y/n Neo Sekai by forfeit!", the crowd explodes in cheers at the showing of skill, many of the hero's themselves yelling.
"Want some help tuff guy", I give him a small chuckle as he nods.
lifting his arms up I carry him and I towards the infirmary.
Letting loose... It was nice.
_______________________________
So not the greatest fights but a lot of fights at this point in time won't be extravagant, most fights during this arc ended very fast plus the MC's was simply himself letting loose, what happens when you do that? Well time flies and there isn't a need to explosiveness not till his next round... literally.
Also I hope I'm explaining the techniques right, I don't know how to fight at all, like I've literally never fought another person in my entire life because I'm not that stupid, not saying getting into a fight is stupid just saying I know how to stay out of them. But I'm using the official pictures from GOH (God of Highschool) and describing them, I don't want to use screenshots because it feel disingenuous and is a copout not allowing me to grow as a writer, using pictures isn't necessarily a bad thing, good in some cases, but I want to avoid them plus if it's that big of an issue for any of you then you can easily google them, you would need Wi-Fi to load them either way.
Hope that last bit didn't come off as rude in anyway.
Anyway hope you enjoyed, the tournament Arc was always kinda ass though, good at some parts but not the best.
Question of the Chapter: Favorite fighter move, like a move or technique someone in a video game, show, real life, etc. has pulled off that you think is dope, must be tied to martial arts so Kamehameha doesn't count as it's energy based and there isn't much martial arts tied to (though some is still there obviously, I believe), mine is probably Jin Hwechook Nought or Jin Mo-Ri Original Extreme Version: Jin Hwechook Perfect Circle. There are probably others I like a lot more but it's the firs that comes to mind.
