"That felt more like a final than a quarter final." Shoji says.
"It's a lot of pressure to follow..." Toru replies.
"With the ring repaired it's time for the second match of this round! The arm wrestling winner Denki Kaminari vs. the advertising victim Tenya Iida!" Present Mic announces.
"Whatever happens, it will be over quick." Jiro says.
"Hopefully not another arm wrestling match." Sero says. "It's embarrassing to watch."
"Start!"
"Indiscriminate shock. 1.3 Million Volts!" Kaminari yells.
"Recipro Burst!" Iida declares.
"Not again..." Aizawa groans.
While Kaminari had not learned his lesson, Iida was fast and durable enough to avoid most of the attack and tank what hit him, though his spasming legs caused him to lose control somewhat and he barely avoided running out of bounds.
"That was close!" Present Mic shouts, "I could see a second draw happening right before our eyes."
"Kaminari's going to have some extra lessons after this." Aizawa says.
"Whey!" Kaminari says wandering around the center of the ring.
'My original plan was to go for a quick ring out, that would have been another draw.' Iida thought as he regained his bearings on the far side of the ring.
"Is Iida alright?" Shoji asks.
"Iida's manly enough to take that hit! He'll be fine." Kirishima says.
"Maybe he just wants Mr. Whey to embarrass himself a bit longer." Jiro says.
"I couldn't see him deliberately embarrassing anyone." Kirishima responds.
"Yeah! Tenya's a teacher's pet!" Ochako says as she and her friends take their seats in the class box.
"What she means is Tenya is very respectful of others." Momo says.
"Yeah that." Ochako says.
"You don't think about what you say sometimes you know." Tsu says.
"Hey, Tenya's moving again." Izuku says, pulling the class out of their conversations.
Indeed Iida had recovered from his electrocution and was approaching Kaminari cautiously.
'Hopefully he stays fried until I get him out of the ring. That attack is going to sting for days.' Iida thought.
"Whey?" Kaminari says, turning to Iida and giving him a thumbs up.
Suddenly Iida speeds up, grabbing Kaminari's shoulders and gently placing him out of bounds.
"Kaminari is out of bounds! Iida wins." Midnight announces.
"Well Eraser, that was an interesting fight I guess. What do you think?" Present mic says turning to his partner only to fall out of his chair at the sight of Aizawa's glare.
"Well then, let's move on to match three! The pink acid girl! Mina Ashido vs. Bane of shadows! Momo Yaoyorozu, Ready? Start!"
Momo quickly creates a plastic umbrella and blocks Mina's first wave of acid.
"Rain of Flashbangs!" Momo shouts, using her ultimate move to buy time.
"Ow, Ow, Ow." Mina yells, covering her eyes and ears as the smoke clouds the ring.
"Looks like Ms Yaoyorozu is once again giving herself time to prepare a strong attack. What will Ms Ashido do?" Present Mic announces.
"Ashido can't win this now." Izuku says, "Give Momo time and the game is lost."
"Ashido just isn't focused enough to win." Tsu says.
As the smoke clears Momo appears in a full body acid proof suit, carrying her usual staff.
"Well, crap." Mina says.
Momo steadily approaches her opponent, staff at the ready, while Mina panics and begins skating along the outside of the ring.
"It's getting lively down there both fighters giving it their all!" Present Mic announces.
After some time the match was dragging on, with both parties getting some hits in but no decisive blows being dealt. Suddenly Mina goes in for another kick from behind, but Momo expects this striking with her staff without turning around, catching Mina in the stomach.
The now considerable amount of lubricating acid on the ring left Mina without sufficient traction to stop easily but she managed to use her acid to keep herself in the ring.
'At least this isn't strong enough acid to melt clothes.' Mina thinks as she tries to get some of it off herself.
As Momo moves in for the finishing blow she also slips, but manages to break her fall with her staff.
"This is getting good!" Mineta says before being knocked unconscious by a combo attack from Tsu and Jiro.
Giving up on standing again, Momo launches herself forward with her staff running into Mina and sending both of them out of the ring and off the platform into a soggy heap.
"Mina Ashido left the ring first! Momo Yaoyorozu wins!" Midnight announces, "That show got me excited!"
"Is that really appropriate?" Jiro asks.
"Sliding around looks like fun!" Ochako says, "We have to get Ashido to do that again sometime."
'Too innocent!" the class thought.
"With that cleaned up, it's time for the last match of this quarter final!" Present Mic announces, "The rock solid man, Eijiro Kirishima vs. underhanded underdog! Ochako Uraraka."
"So Midoriya, how does this fight look?" Shoji asks.
"It's a difficult one to call," Izuku begins, "Kirishima is only strong in close quarters, where Ochako's quirk is a big risk, but Ochako's not a trained fighter, so it may be difficult to get a hit in."
"So it's on Kirishima not to make a single mistake." Ojiro says.
"Start!" Present Mic shouts.
Immediately both fighters rush each other, Kirishima easily deflects Ochako's overly telegraphed lunge, and responds with an unhardened punch to the stomach. Ochako tries again but is once again easily deflected by Kirishima, luckily she had learned from her first strike and managed to avoid Kirisima's response. Ochako continues by launching a barrage of strikes, keeping Kirishima on the defensive, but not landing a decisive blow.
"What a strong start for our fighters! An exciting melee for everyone to enjoy!" Present Mic announces.
"Both sides are giving it their all and learning each other's techniques as they go." Aizawa says.
"Glowing phrase from Eraser head!" Present Mic says.
"Kirishima's not using his hardening..." Izuku says, "Ochako's going to have to pull something big to win this."
"Indeed, focusing on his mobility is the right choice." Ojiro replies.
Suddenly Ochako breaks away from the Melee.
"Out of stamina?" Kirishima asks, only slightly winded, "I will respect a withdrawal, it's been a good fight!"
"No, it's time for my ultimate move!" Ochako shouts.
"Ultimate move?" Izuku questions, beginning to mutter about the possibilities.
"She can't have held this back fighting Bakugo?" Momo asks.
"She's bluffing." Tsu says, "It's a trap."
"Sounds Manly!" Kirishima shouts, rushing Ochako.
"It's time for my Mega-Ultimate..."
Kirishima leaps forward fist at the ready.
"... Cute Smile!" Ochako says, posing with an innocent smile on her face, causing Kirishima to lose focus and drop his guard.
"SLAP!" Ochako finishes, finally getting all five fingers on Kirishima, removing his gravity and launching him out of the ring.
"EEHHH!" Shouted the crowd, baffled by what they saw.
"Uhh..." Midnight begins, truly baffled by what she saw. "Kirishima is out of bounds, Uraraka wins!"
AN: Well there goes the quarter finals. All a bit strange/silly, but honestly this is a first year fighting tournament very early in the semester, most fights should be either one sided or ridiculous. Also an internet cookie for anyone who figures out which anime I got inspiration for Ochako's 'move.' not my original plan, but it came to me as I was writing this and I couldn't resist, it's a bit cheesy but what do you expect?
