"Yo Wilson!", Drake greeted Jacob.
"Hey there Smith. What's up?", Jacob asked. Even though he was heading to the arena, that didn't mean that he should ignore his classmates.
"I'm here to tell you about your enemy, Sunajiki Rantaro", he told him.
"Stop right there!"
"Huh?", the confused Drake asked.
"I appreciate your concern but I don't need it", Jacob said.
"Why? Wouldn't you want an advantage?"
"Well… Yeah… But I want to learn about his Quirk first-hand. I don't want anyone spoiling it for me"
"You're amusing. Well… If that's your choice, then I'll back off", Drake said and walked away.
"Now then… Time to get to that arena!", Jacob told himself.
He walked outside the corridor and saw many people cheering. His heart would've been able to handle it but he was more excited to fight his opponent than being nervous.
"He showed us his towering power, from the hero course: Jacob Wilson! As dangerous as the desert, from the hero course: Sunajiki Rantaro!", Present Mic announced.
Desert? So it must be related to sand huh, Jacob thought.
"START!"
Sand appeared from Sunajiki's hands and it towards Jacob. Thinking quickly, Jacob made a huge ethereal shield and blocked the attack. He successfully blocked the attack but then he noticed one thing. The sand that was blocked was circling him from the sides.
Not good! I'll be surrounded!
He made a long ethereal staff which raised him to the sky. While he was up in the sky, he made a war hammer. He knew that swords and other bladed weapons were useless against Sunajiki's sand so he decided to pound them with a hammer. He fell down and was about to slam the hammer on Sunajiki but a wall of sand blocked him. The wall of sand was tougher than it looked but some of it was scattered due to the blow.
Sunajiki created more sand from his hands and launched towards Jacob. He dodged it because if he creates a shield, the sand would just circle him. More sand went towards his direction and when he was about to avoid it, his feet couldn't move.
Jacob looked down and saw that his feet were covered with sand. He realized the enemy's plan. Sunajiki wasn't just shooting sand randomly. He was actually creating a field of sand.
He got hit by sand and was almost sent out of bounds but he managed to create a pole which was lodged to the ground and grabbed the pole as if his life depended on it.
"I see. Your Quirk allows you to create sand and control it. It's the same as Midoriya's Quirk except that your sand remains and you can still control it later", Jacob analyzed.
"That's correct. While your Quirk allows you to create ethereal objects is it not?", Sunajiki asked.
"Yep! That's a pretty awesome Quirk! You could build sand towers to support falling buildings. Use sand to capture villains and rescue civilians. It's an all-around Quirk!", Jacob praised.
"Thanks. But flattery won't get you anywhere you know?"
"Hahaha. I'm not flattering you. I'm seriously impressed"
"Yeah. Want to return to the fight?"
"Fine by me"
Jacob noticed that the field had sand everywhere. But nothing would change if he stood so he charged at Sunajiki. Sand from his left and right rose up and went towards him. He saw that Sunajiki was producing more sand from his hands. If he kept that up, the arena would become a field of sand and Jacob would be at a disadvantage.
He shouted and created an ethereal war hammer again. Jacob swung the hammer but Sunajiki blocked it with a wall of sand. Sand grabbed him from behind and threw him away. Jacob was almost out of bounds again but he stabbed a spear to the ground and grabbed it.
The field had piles of sand. This was bad for him. However, he noticed one thing. Sunajiki was crossing his arms and was not creating more sand.
Is it because he is confident he can win? Or is it something else? Also, why isn't he attacking? Is he waiting for me? , Jacob thought.
Remember what Midoriya-senpai thought you! First: look at the opponent's Quirk. Second: think of how you can use your Quirk against your opponent. Third and most importantly…
He took a deep breath as his mind's gears ran at full speed.
He produces sand from his hands. Sand follows me. It could be any shape. Hardening is an option. Lots and lots of sand. More than a million particles of sand, those words floated his mind.
My Quirk: Summoning. Ethereal objects. Sharp or blunt. Blunt is useful against sand, he thought.
Sand… Blunt objects… Lots and lots of sand. Millions of particles of sand. Range… Range… Control….
The pieces fit together. Izuku's words returned to his ears.
First: look at the opponent's Quirk. Second: think of how you can use your Quirk against your opponent. Third and most importantly…
He smiled.
Never forget to smile!
"Smiling huh? Judging from how you stood and thought, you probably got me figured out already", Sunajiki said.
"Probably", Jacob replied.
He charged without summoning anything and the piles of sand rose. However, Jacob didn't run straight to Sunajiki. He went around the field as the sand chased him. It took a while of running when he started to see the effect of his plan. The sand that was chasing him was getting thinner and thinner and he saw Sunajiki panting and sweating.
The sand stopped chasing him and Sunajiki panted. It was his chance. He ran to him and created ethereal gauntlets. He punched but a sand wall blocked him.
Jacob then sidestepped and tried to punch him again. Every time a sand wall blocked him, he sidestepped to an opening and punched again. Sunajiki smiled and raised his arms in surrender. Jacob stopped punching.
"I give up", Sunajiki said.
"Already?", Jacob asked.
"You already got me figured out. Any sane hero would retreat and get support from other heroes when a villain has an advantage", he answered.
Jacob found out Sunajiki's limits the moment he stopped producing sand. It was either that was the maximum amount of sand he could produce or he was saving his stamina. Also, controlling millions of sand particles required stamina and concentration. That was why all he had to do was make him tired by making him overuse his sand.
His gauntlets disappeared and he extended his hand. Sunajiki shook it.
"Sunajjiki Rantaro gives up! Jacob Wilson wins!", Nagusawa announced and the crowd cheered.
Hey everyone! It's me again! And yep, this was Jacob and Gaara's- wait no. I meant Sunajiki's- fight! And I'm here to answer Darklord Destruction Incarnate's question: "Just out of curiosity when do the Villain OCS make an appearance?" The answer is: after the sports festival They will face off Class 1-A and 1-B in their internships and other events. There's also the League of Villains making their moves and if you didn't forget, there's a spy. So for those who sent Villain OCs, your efforts won't be in vain. In fact, you can actually tell me who you want to be your villain's enemy. Like you can have your OC villain fight against Kai or Aome. But first, I'll ask permission from the respective OC's owner if it's okay. Anyways, my note is getting long so I'm signing off for now. Hope you enjoyed and leave a review!
