Chương 13: UA Sports Festival (IV)... {EDITED}

[POV Reo]

As soon as Present Mic yelled 'START', some of the teams immediately rushed towards my team. I nodded towards Denki who started to channel his electricity towards the metal sand surrounding us. A team made up of unknown students attacked us and their attacks were immediately stopped by a wall of metal sand that rose up from the ground.

"Shit!!" A student cursed when his hand was swatted away from the wall.

"They are channeling electricity in the metal wall" another one deduced after his hand was also swatted away by the wall of metal sand.

I simply smiled at them. At least they understood what was happening here. Maybe this can keep them from attacking us. But I think that I was giving too much credit to this team. They tried to attack us again, it still gave them the bore same result... after attacking a couple of times more, they finally gave up.

I looked towards teams who had rushed towards us. It looked like they were discussing something. The next moment the wall rose up at several places stopping several attacks from all the sides. So, they decided to attack us at once... good at least they are trying. I wonder how are they going to divide the points if they somehow succeed??

"Are you sure that the wall is going to hold up?" Eijirou asked me looking slightly worried.

"Don't worry about that... as long as someone can't make the metal sand disappear, we have nothing to worry about" I answered him.

"What about Bakugo and Todoroki?" Denki asked looking slightly winded up. Maybe continuously using his Quirk might be tiring for him.

"Denki you can stop using your Quirk if it gets too tiring for you and as for Bakugo or Todoroki attacking us? Bakugo won't be able to blast through the wall of my metal sand because I will enforce the wall and if Todoroki uses both of his Ice and Fire sides he still won't be able to break through my wall. Brittle metal or weak metal is still metal" I declared with a confident look on my face. Both Eijirou and Denki nodded their heads in understanding.

[With Reo's Parents]

"Our son already won the 1st event and there is a good chance that he is going to win the second one too" Ai declared proudly while watching how the other teams attacking her son's team, she was worried that the flimsy wall won't be able to hold any longer but she was still proud.

"Yes... I never knew that his power would be so amazing" Shomei was shocked to see how strong his son's Quirk was.

[With Pro-Heroes]

"Whao... that wall is providing him 360-degree protection"

"Looks like he is winning this event too"

"The event has yet to finish"

"His Quirk is strong and he is also using it smartly but it will only one moment of negligence to lose their head-band"

[With the UA Staff]

"Hey Aizawa, did he use that wall to protect himself from those villains?" A teacher asked curiously.

"Yes, don't underestimate that thin wall of metal sand, he used that same wall to protect himself against that purple creature" Aizawa said, now he was watching Reo's moves closely.

All of their attention was brought towards Bakugo's team who seemed to be heading towards Reo's team. All of them were immediately interested because they also wanted to see the confrontation between those two teams.

[With Reo]

"Get ready to lose!!" Bakugo shouted. I don't even want to know... he should have tried to surprise me but he didn't, at least he didn't need to announce himself like that.

I saw Bakugo jump towards us while screaming. "Die!!" he shouted like a typical villain and attacked us but my metal wall rose up and he attacked with the biggest explosion he could make at that moment.

The collision caused the whole place to shake but the wall didn't even dent inwards. Just some of the metal particles had turned red due to the heat from the explosion.

"Bastard!!" Bakugo yelled again and attacked us at the same place with even more power. The same thing happened but this time the wall had a huge red spot showing the metals have heated up. This time Bakugo was swatted away from the walls more hardly because Denki increased the electricity output.

All the other teams also stopped their own fights so that they can watch the confrontation between my team and Bakugo's.

"Don't injure yourself Bakugo" I told him in a slightly worried... I was worried that he was going to hurt himself and I didn't want that, and I was only slightly but it seemed to have riled him up even more. He attacked us again from the same direction but the result was still the same except merging some metal particles together due to the heat.

The next moment the wall was attacked with Ice which immediately broke the walk but was stopped by another wall that rose up in an instant.

"I never thought that you two would team up with each other to attack me" I said looking in the other direction. Todoroki was pointing his arm towards my direction.

"I didn't team up with him, I just used the best chance to attack you" Todoroki said. I looked at the rest of his team and they looked completely determined, even Momo. Well, let them try.

"Bah...! This ain't fun anymore" Bakugo declared and went away with his team. I know that he was too much prideful to work together with Todoroki. Well, it works better for me since they broke one wall when they attacked together.

Todoroki already attacked us with ice spikes which were stopped by a wall that instantly rose up from the ground. He kept using this pattern of attack for a few minutes from different directions.

"Isn't it getting too cold" Denki told me. So, he is trying to get us cold so that we would get sluggish and to also make my metals brittle.

I immediately used my metal walls to expand in all directions which successfully broke apart all the ice spikes surrounding our position. Todoroki kept looking towards me like he was looking for something. Looks like he was searching for my weakness or wanted to find some gap in my defense.

"Times up! The second round is now over! Now let's reveal the top four teams to make it into the last round!!" Midnight shouted as the screen behind her revealed the results of the match.

1) Team Reo

2) Team Todoroki

3) Team Bakugo

4) Team Shinso

I climbed down from Eijirou's shoulder who also stopped using his Quirk. Soon the three of us were surrounded by our classmates to congratulate us.

"Hey! Reo, congratulations on your win" Mina exclaimed happily.

"Yeah, even if you only defended, but it was still awesome to watch that" Jiro said to me, looking slightly relieved. Was she thinking that I would attack her or the others like I did in the USJ?? Don't know... maybe I will ask Momo later.

"You bastard!! Are you just too scared to fight?!" A purple-faced Bakugo appeared. I don't even know what he is on about... didn't he just attack me during the game? So is he angry that I didn't fight back or Todoroki interrupted us?

"Calm down Bakugo!" Eijirou tried to calm him down.

"Calm down?! This asshole was just mocking me while he just stood inside his wall along with you" Bakugo yelled out loud, causing the other contestants to look towards us.

He is really angering me now... why the hell was I even worried about this fucker. Fine, he wants to fight me... then so be it. Each time they tried to get a confrontation out of me I always steered them away or laughed it off but I don't think it would work anymore. I need to make an example of Bakugo.

"I didn't fight back because if I did you would have ended up with a broken bone or a missing limb" I declared shocking everyone around me. They weren't shocked because of my words but they were shocked because of the tone I used. Other times, I just sounded like a boy filled with charisma and passion. But now I sounded completely cold-hearted.

I didn't even wait for his reply and walked away... I have been stupid for so long. I thought that I could stop the confrontation if I just avoided them. Yeah I know I made a lot of comments and made fun of them inside my mind but I didn't antagonize them openly because I didn't want myself to be roped into some juvenile stuff like this. Now... I know that I have been too naive. They still treat me like their enemy like I killed their dog. So be it... I will break him in the third round.

After all, 'Peace was Never an Option'.

I started to walk towards the washroom to clear my mind. I will do what I have decided because Bakugo needed to be taught a session which his parents failed to teach him and that was HUMILITY... I will crush all his pride and arrogance and show him how pathetic he is.

"Was that really necessary?" I heard Momo voice from behind me.

"Yes... I wasn't the one who started the fight" I told her, my voice was now back to somewhat normal.

"So what are you going to do with him? I know you will be fighting against him" Momo asked me looking slightly concerned.

"I will show him his place..." I told her. I don't want to go into the details but I know that she will understand...
