AN: Sorry for making this take so long. My life has been a mess, but your comments have been made writing this chapter worth it.
"FOR OUR NINTH MATCH, IT'S GOING TO BE A BATTLE OF BRAWN. COMING OUT FIRST, IT'S THE BATTLE QUEEN OF 1B. SHE'S THE CLASS REP AS WELL AS THE UNDISPUTED LEADER. THE UNSTOPPABLE KARATE WARRIOR. THE HEIRESS OF THE BIGGEST KARATE ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD. ITSUKA KENDO."
The audience's roar for Kendo was just as loud as Midoriya's. That was expected for a daughter of a Karate Legend. Kendo just signed as she entered the arena. "I just hope I do good."
"OH YEAH ITSUKA, KICK HIS ASS!" Mr. Kendo yelled. He and his father were sitting in the stands, proudly cheering for their student.
"You are very enthusiastic," Kuroki Gensai stated. He then took a sip out of his drink.
"It's our little Itsuka out there," The father replied. "She's my pride and joy. And she will win this tournament." His entire body was filled with pride.
Kuroki frowned at that. "That's not a guarantee. She has some tough competition, especially with the Kure child and Midoriya."
"Oh don't worry about them. I already told Kendo the ways to victory," grinned.
"AND IN THIS CORNER. THE TINY BRAWLER OF 1B. HE MAY BE SMALL, BUT NOT WEAK. THE TINY BOXER OF THE HERO COURSE. HERE HE COMES. NIRENGEKI SHODA!"
Unlike his classmate, Shoda was met with a smaller cheer and audience. "I'm the vice president. Couldn't you have said anything better about me?" Shoda groaned. "Whatever, I just need to do good today."
The boy walked to the arena and greeted his female classmate. "They bow right before a Karate match right Kendo? I've never seen a Karate match before so I want to make sure," Shoda asked.
"That's only in practice and sparring. Though some schools are different. And one more thing," Kendo grinned, "This isn't a karate match."
"I see, then may the best fighter win," Shoda said as he gained his distance.
"ARE YOU READY?" Both Kendo and Shoda nodded.
"TAKE YOUR STANCE!" Kendo took her usual Karate stance, arms out and legs firm. Shoda was different, he took a boxing stance. His arms protect his face and chest.
"BEGIN."
Bam
Shoda started with a quick jab. Kendo tanked it, using her arm as a shield. She gave a right kick at Shoda's hips.
Boom
The boy winced in pain and backed off. Yet, he gave off a small grin. "Double impact," he let out.
Kendo was shocked at his words. But it was too late to do anything.
BAM
Her arm jolted in pain. His new attack left a much deeper impact than before. Before Kendo could adjust, Shoda began his counterattack.
He rushed forward, still keeping his boxing stance. Kendo reacted by throwing down a left chop. However, this opened up her stomach, giving Shoda an opening. Shifting his body, Shoda punched Itsuka right in the gut. Itsuka countered with a left elbow right at Shoda's face.
The two backed away, trying to recover from their injuries. Shoda spat out a pint of blood. Itsuka put a hand to where Shoda punched her. 'This can't keep going like this? Counter against counter. I have to end this now!'
Itsuka returned to her former stance. Yet, her focus was stronger than ever. 'The same stance again. But why? She must be doing something different than before. If that's the case, so will I.'
Shoda dashed forward towards Itsuka. Just like before he gave a quick jab aimed at Itsuka. The orange-haired shifted just a tiny bit, but that was enough for Shoda. His left jab was a fluke. Shifting his body, Shoda revealed that his true attack was a right hook. Yet somehow, Itsuka was prepared.
Her left hand parried Shoda's hook before he could even notice. 'Did she just-'
BANG
Itsuka kicked Shoda right in the head. Her calves hitting the base of his head, knocking him out. Shoda collapsed to the floor, droll leaking out his mouth.
"Osu," Itsuka was victorious.
"Holy Shit she's good," Kaminari stated.
"Why of course. There's a reason why we choose her to be class president," Neito Monoma said with a smug face.
"Well, that and no one voted for you," Yui replied. Monoma slumped into despair.
"What do you think of Midoriya? How does Kendo compare to you?" Cosmo asked.
"Well, Karate Wise, Itsuka is far beyond me. Her Karate is some of the best I've ever seen. Even when we fight with MMA rules, Itsuka has beaten me. Honestly, she's probably one of the strongest in this tournament," Izuku explained.
"You got that right," Takeshi grumbled. "She would often 'punish' me during Karate Lessons. Honestly, she had no right to."
"Was it because you were being a massive pervert?" Yui asked.
"That is a rude term. I am a man of Culture."
"What's taking that first year so long?" Seiji Shishikura asked. He was getting annoyed. How dare that first-year brat miss this important moment. He should be here watching the moment Shiketsu takes its place as the best hero school. By beating UA in its festival.
"He's meeting his bro. You should try to be lit fam. But right now, your toots let down," Camie Utsushimi replied. "Be cool bro. LOL."
"Camie, what the fuck are you saying?"
"It's cool you guys," Inasa Yoarashi said with a devilish grin. "Besides, I'm all warm up. I CAN'T WAIT TO FIGHT."
"Relax Inasa. You have to wait for them to call you so…..and you're already leaving," Seiji signed. "Good luck"
"NOW PAY ATTENTION FOLKS CAUSE THIS STUDENT IS IMPORTANT. THE TOP FRESHMAN FROM SHIKETSU. THEY SENT HIM FOR A REASON. THE HURRICANE HERO. YOU BETTER REMEMBER HIM CAUSE-Oh he's already out. Um, EVERYONE MEET INASA YOARASHI!"
"YEAHHHHHHHH. I LOVE UA," Inasa roared. Creating a weird pause in the audience.
"Ummmmm," Present Mic shut his mic. "Hey, Aizawa, did we get the right kid?"
"Yep."
"But he-"
"Don't question it. I learned that a long time ago." Aizawa took a drink out of his coffee.
"Okay then," Mic turned his microphone back on.
"AND REPRESENTING OUR WONDERFUL SCHOOL. WE HAVE THE GREAT GHOST OF UA. SHE MAY LOOK CREEPY, BUT SHE'S A BEAUTY ON THE INSIDE. THE PALE GIRL OF 1B. THE CHARMING, REIKO YANAGI!"
The White Haired Girl emerged from the shadows of her corner. A dark and gloomy aura surrounding her. Her entrance was met with just as much enthusiasm as Inasa's.
"Aw, I wanted a cheer or two," Reiko complained. She then heard some cheers from the stands. "Thanks, friends."
"Come on guys, we need to cheer Reiko up. She has one of the most important matches ever," Setsuna stated. "So let's get cheering. KICK HIS ASS BACK TO SHIKETSU, YANAGI!"
"Someone's excited," Yui replied.
"Well, even though she's in another class, I still wanna support her," Izuku said. "GO YANAGI!"
"YANAGI! YANAGI!" Both 1A and 1B cheered for their classmate.
Reiko smiled as she heard her cheers. It felt empowering. A normal girl like her barring the responsibility of her school would overwhelm anyone. Yet, having the support of both classes eased her. Reiko took a small breath. She was ready to win.
"Both Classes coming together to face a common foe. THAT'S SO COOL. THINGS LIKE THIS IS WHY I LOVE UA," Inasa shouted.
Reiko squinted her eyes. This was just becoming weird. Hopefully, she beats him and never has to deal with him ever again.
"ARE YOU READY?" Both Reiko and Inasa confirmed it. Reiko with a thumbs up and Inasa by aggressively nodding.
"TAKE YOUR STANCE!" Reiko raised her arms like she was about to perform a spell. Inasa, on the other hand, put his right arm back; like he was going to unleash a power punch.
"BEGIN."
Rocks broke off from the ground near Reiko and flew straight towards Inasa. They began building up speed, getting closer and closer to Inasa every second. Yet, Inasa stood his ground, retaining the same stance.
Suddenly, his arm began to be covered in wind. The heavy wind wrapped itself around Inasa's arm. It began to look like a small tornado was forming. And then, Inasa unleashed it.
THROOOM
A huge tornado hit the arena. It swept away the rocks thrown by Reiko. It was pushing her back. Reiko covered her eyes, trying to shield them from the powerful winds. Reiko could feel her body being pushed back by the wind. Yet, she was powerless to stop it. There was no way her quirk could stop the tornado engulfing her.
After a brief while, Inasa stopped the winds. A sly smirk on his face.
Reiko was confused about why he was smiling until it hit her. She took a look at where her foot was placed.
"REIKO YANAGI IS OUT OF BOUNDS! INASA YOARASHI IS THE WINNER!"
"She lost!" Monoma cried out. "HOW? She was one of the best in 1B. How did she lose?"
"He was too good," Bakugo said. "That guy is bad news."
"A new rival from a rival school. How will this turn out? Find out next time on DBZ," Ochako joked.
"Uraraka, what are you talking about?"
"Hmph, no one gets my jokes," Ochako pouted.
"By the way, who's next?" Izuku asked.
Bakugo grinned, "Guess who."
"Oh no."
"Are you ready for your fight?" Renzo asked.
At the moment Kure Karen was getting ready for her fight. She was stretching, expanding her joints, and easing her muscles. "Yep, I'm more than ready."
"You do know this guy is super weak? Even a baby Kure could beat him," Renzo stated.
"I know, but there's no reason why I shouldn't let my guard down," Renzo replied with a shrug. "Besides, Dad taught us to never underestimate an opponent. If so, we already lose."
"I know, but...have you that guy. He resembles a football more than a person," Renzo grumbled. He then noticed some students coming towards them. "We have company."
Karen turned around and was met with UA female students who she had never seen before. They looked distraught. "Do I know you?"
"No, we're part of the General Course, you've never met us," one of the girls replied. "We need to tell you something about your opponent."
Karen tilted her head in confusion.
"REPRESENTING OUR GENERAL COURSES. THE MAN WHO STICKS TO YOU. THE SMALLEST PARTICIPANT IN THIS TOURNAMENT, BUT DON'T MAKE FUN OF HIM. HIS BITE MIGHT BE TOUGHER THAN HIS BARK. WE HAVE MINETA MINORU!"
Mineta walked out to the arena, making himself look smug in the process. However, there wasn't a lot of cheering in the crowd. "They are going to love me," Mineta said with full confidence.
"AND HIS OPPONENT. THE GIRL FROM THE KURE CLAN. SHE'S ONE OF A KIND. DON'T LET HER CUTE APPEARANCE FOOL YOU, SHE'S A DEMON WHEN SHE FIGHTS. A GIRL BORN TO BE UNSTOPPABLE. WHAT POWER WILL SHE REVEAL IN HER FIGHT? IT'S KURE KAREN!"
The Kure girl walked out, a smile on her face. She happily walked to the arena, not letting the loud cheers from the crowd distract her. However, there was one important person to her in the stands.
"HI MIDORIYA! WHEN THIS TOURNAMENT IS OVER, LET'S GET MARRIED," Karen shouted. The entire stadium heard her cry and was immediately silent.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," Bakugo laughed.
"Hey man, it's not that funny," Sero said.
"It's a little funny," Shouji was on the verge of giggling.
"Um Midoriya, are you okay?" Momo asked.
Midoriya was on the floor, curling into a ball. "Why God? Why?"
"Hey, it could be worse. At least you got a hot girl who's interested in you," Kaminari stated. He then felt the eyes of predators cast on him. "What?"
"What do I say to my Mom?"
"I'm sure she'll understand."
Inko Midoriya's jaw was on the floor. She needed to have a very long talk with Izuku. Her baby has a lot to explain. She also wondered how that girl's family was reacting to this.
MEANWHILE AT KURE VILLAGE:
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," Kure Raian was laughing at his sister. "IS SHE YOUR DAUGHTER, OR KARLA'S DAUGHTER? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
Fusui was too busy watching the TV in shock. Her Kure relatives were also in shock, not expecting Karen of all people to do something so outrageous. "Karla, what did you do with my daughter?"
"NOTHING I SWEAR!" Karla responded. "It's Raian's fault."
"OH HELL NO! Don't blame this stunt on me. I only taught her to kick ass and chew bubblegum, like a responsible Uncle." Raian replied. "But we are ignoring something here. Who the hell is Midoriya?"
All Kure's eyes fell on him. "You don't know?"
"No, why should I?"
In the back, an elderly man in a wheelchair was cursing the spirits. "Damn you Ohma. Even beyond the grave, you still destroy everything I love," Kure Erioh mumbled.
"Come on Grandfather, let's get you out of here," Kure Hollis said as he wheeled Erioh away.
"Can we be sued for that?" Present Mic asked.
"No," Eraserhead said.
"Well thank god. If worst comes to worst, we blame Midnight," Present Mic turned the mic back on, "ALRIGHT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET'S GET THIS FIGHT STARTED."
"ARE YOU READY?" Karen changed face. Her cheerful look became a deadly look of malice.
"TAKE YOUR STANCE." Mineta nervously popped the balls of his head. Karen's recent mood change made him nervous. Karen, meanwhile, just stayed in the same position.
"BEGIN."
Mineta started to throw his balls right at Karen. Yet, she dodged every single one of them.
"Hey Mineta, do you know what I hate most in this world?" Karen asked as she got closer to the boy. He stopped for a brief moment to listen to what she had to say. "The thing I hate most in this world is perverts. Filthy, disgusting perverts." Oh No. "The ones that make other girls feel unsafe by being a terrible nuisance in their lives." Oh no she knows. "And do you know what my favorite sport is?" Mineta gulped. "Football!"
Oh fuck.
Before Mineta could stop her, she appeared right in front of him. And before he could stop her, she kicked.
BOOOOOM
Mineta was kicked right into the stadium walls. His head literally in the walls. Massive cracks in the wall formed where his body was. The people near the walls could even feel the wall shake when Mineta crashed.
"I win," Karla put on a cheerful pose.
Most of the audience was silent. Not sure what the fuck they just say. Until one voice spoke out. "WHAT THE FUCK!?" Present Mic cried out.
"Oh, well, Midoriya; good luck surviving your marriage," Kamianri said.
"Even though we are enemies, I pray you never piss her off," Monoma said as he put a hand on Midoriya's shoulder.
"Is anyone going to talk about how she fucking murdered that guy?" Takeshi asked.
"No."
"Wow, biased much."
"He must have done something to piss her off," Kendo said as she entered the stands.
"Kendo, your back," Izuku said. "You did so well in your fight."
"Aw, thank you," Itsuka gave a small blush, only noticeable by one student.
'Disgusting,' Monoma was thinking.
"WELL, THAT WAS A WEIRD MATCH. NOW FOR FIGHT TWELVE! WE HAVE THE MAN OF STEEL FROM 1B. HE HITS LIKE A NAIL AND IS JUST AS TOUGH. HIS STEEL BODY CAN TANK ANY ATTACK. IT'S TETSUTETSU TETSUTETSU."
"OH YEAH," the silver-haired boy shouted.
"AND HIS OPPONENT, ANOTHER REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE GENERAL COURSE. HE'S QUICK ENOUGH TO MAKE ANYONE SICK. KEEP YOUR EYE ON HIM OR ELSE YOU'LL LOSE HIM. THE SPEEDSTER OF 1C. IT'S MIKAZUCHI REI."
The black-haired boy stepped out with a calm aura. Unlike his opponent, he was much more focused and quiet. "Let's get this over with."
"You can do it Rei," A Blond girl cried out in the stands. Rei ignored everyone else, including his opponent, just to wave at her. "Try not to hurt yourself?"
'This son of a bitch, is fucking dissing me!' Tetsutetsu was thinking.
"ARE YOU READY?" Rei turned away from the girl and faced his opponent.
"TAKE YOUR STANCE!" Tetsutetsu turned his body into steel and leaned his body forward. Rei took a more downward stance. His right hand was back and closed while his left hand was forward and open.
"BEGIN."
Tetsutetsu charged right at his opponent until...
swish
...Lighting struck.
Before anyone could see what happened, Tetsutetsu collapsed to the ground. Rei was standing on the other side of the arena, past Tetsutetsu's body. "Lighting Flash," he whispered.
"IT'S OVER. I..I THINK THAT'S A RECORD!"
"Good Job," the blond girl cried out.
"What the fuck."
The hero course could not believe what they just saw. "Hey, I didn't blink, right? That was the whole fight?" Yosetsu Awase asked.
"How? He's not even a hero student," Jurota Shishida was in a state of panic. Even his friend Manga was endlessly spitting out curse text.
'I had no doubt he was strong,' Izuku was thinking, 'But I could never imagine he would be this strong. I wonder, why is he in 1C though.'
"I feel like, I should explain," all eyes turned to Kure Karen as she entered the stands.
"He comes from the Mikazuchi family. A family deep into Japanese history. They are an elite group of fighters trained from birth. Each trained to become like lighting. And now in this quirk era, their strength has increased. Because of this, Rei is undoubtedly one of the strongest kids in our grade."
"Wait, if his family is so deep with our country's history, how come we've never heard it before?" Momo asked.
"Well, I think it's because they're really shy," Karen lied. "Oh hi, Izuku!"
"OH COME ON."
"What the hell?" Chakrii asked. "Did you know he could go that fast?"
"No, I think, he's been holding out this entire time," Shinso answered.
Unlike the two of them, one boy was smiling. "That guy is interesting," Yoroizuka Saw Paing stated.
"Hye dad, you recognize that kid?" asked.
"Yes," Kuroki Gensai replied as he stroked his beard. "I believe I killed his father.
"There, there," Kurayoshi Rino said. She was stroking Rei's head, the latter of him was resting on her chest. "You did pretty well out there."
"Thank you Rino," the boy replied.
"Oi fucko."
Bang
Rei kicked at the sudden guest, his leg aiming for the head. However, much to Rei's surprise, the man blocked it.
"Relax I'm not here to fight," Kure Renzo replied. Rei pulled his leg back, but he was still on the defensive. "Look you have every right to be aggressive towards me, especially considering our family's history."
"What do you want?" there was anger in Rei's voice. How dare this Kure come near the woman he loved.
"I just want to ask one question. Why the hell is the inheritor of the Mikazuchi clan, AN ASSASSIN CLAN, doing in UA?" Renzo asked with fury.
"Fine but I would also like to ask something," Kurayoshi Rino said. Much to Renzo's surprise, she radiated powerful energy that not even a fighter could have. "Why is the daughter of Tokita Ohma and a Kure heir doing in UA?"
"WELL, THAT WAS UNEXPECTED! NEXT UP, THE PRINCESS OF THE HERO COURSE. HEIR TO THE YAOYOROZU FAMILY. THE BATTLE LADY FROM 1A. MOMO YAOYOROZU."
Momo stepped out into the spotlight. Walking out with both grace and determination.
"Good luck Yaoyorozu. I know you can do it," Izuku Midoriya called out. Yaoyorozu responded with a bright smile and a wave.
"Oh, is she a friend of yours?" Kure Karen asked.
"Yes, can you please let go of me?" Izuku was trying to pray away Karen, who was currently latched onto his body.
"Maybe."
"AND HER OPPONENT. THE SHADOW WARRIOR. PRINCE OF DARKNESS. POSSIBLE STAND USER. THE BIRD WITH THE WARRIOR SPIRIT. 1A'S OWN, FUMIKAGE TOKOYAMI!"
Emerging from the shadows, the bird boy came forth. His dark aura remained strong. "Revelry in the dark."
Both of them stood in the arena, their contrasting personalities
"ARE YOU READY?" Both of them nodded.
"TAKE YOUR STANCE!" Momo placed her hand behind her like she was about to pull out a sword. Fumikage took out Dark Shadow.
"We're fighting now right?" the shadow creature asked.
"Yes," Fumikage coldly replied.
"BEGIN."
Dark Shadow shot out like a cannonball. With power and speed, the shadow creature was closing the gap between it and Yaoyorozu. However, despite the oncoming creature, Momo stayed still; her hand still on her palm.
Then, Dark Shadow entered her range.
BAM
Momo created a staff right out of her hand and whacked Dark Shadow with it. "OW, ow," the Quirk mumbled. It rubbed its head, not expecting Momo to hurt him that badly. Momo pressed on and continued to attack Dark Shadow.
WHACK
SLAM
POW
Momo attacked from everywhere. From above, below, and sideways. With her quickness of her staff plus her fast attacks, Momo unleashed an endless onslaught. Eventually, Tokoyami had to bring back Dark Shadow.
"Are you alright?" Tokoyami asked.
"No, women are scary," Dark Shadow tried to rub its wounds.
'This is bad. I thought with my long reach I would have the advantage. But Yaoyorozu crushed that. I could try and push her out of bounds, but it's easier said than done. Good Grief.' Tokoyami tried to analyze Yaoyorozu, trying to spot any weakness or opening in her from. But whenever he tried, she would just change position or put on a new stance. 'She's analyzing me too. I'm playing right into the palm of her hand.'
However, before Tokoyami could do anything, Momo enacted her plan.
She started to run towards Tokoyami, closing the gap between them. Much to his shock, Tokoymai never expected this plan. "Dark Shadow GO!"
But before the Shadow Quirk could react, a small object popped out of Momo's body. 'Is that a grenade? Why would...OH SHIT!'
A blinding flash came from the arena, blinding Tokoyami and weakening Dark Shadow. They didn't even see Momo pin the bird boy down. When Tokoyami did regain his senses, he saw his back to the floor and Momo's heel right on his chest. She had her staff aimed right towards his face.
"Do you admit defeat?" Momo asked.
"Yes," Tokoyami muttered.
"MOMO YAOYOROZU IS THE WINNER."
"Wow, beauty, brains, and strength. What doesn't that girl have?" Setsuna asked.
"A boyfriend," Yui replied.
"Damn that's cold," Setsuna laughed. "Though that might change later." She pointed to a certain boy cheering for his classmate.
"Great Job Yaoyorozu," Izuku yelled. "You did amazing."
"So wait, he has Kendo, Karen, and Yaoyorozu. Shit, what other girl does he have in his harem?" Setsuna asked.
"Maybe those two," Yui pointed to Ochako and Himiko, both looking at Karen with eyes of anger. Mostly because she still hadn't let go of Izuku and was still praying to his body.
"Hey, who's next?"
"Me," Katsuki Bakugo said with an excited tone. "And her," he pointed to a surprised Ochako Uraraka. "You better get ready, we start in five minutes."
"NEXT UP, IT'S THE BOMB OF 1A. THE WALKING EXPLOSION. A WALKING DISASTER. THE TICKING TIME BOMB. AND ONE OF 1A'S STRONGEST MEMBERS. KATSUKI BAKUGO."
"OH YEAH," Katsuki walked out with proud confidence as well as his unmatched enthusiasm. He turned to his opponent's entrance. "I hope she lives up to the hype.
Ochako was scarred. Why shouldn't she be? She was about to fight Katsuki Bakugo one on one. Not only that, but he wanted to fight her. Oh god, why couldn't she have fought Mineta?
"Scared?" Izuku asked. The two of them were right in front of the arena entrance. The light was practically inviting her. "I get it."
"Do you?" Ochako asked. "You're the coolest guy in our class. Your quirk is amazing, your fighting skills are top-notch; you're practically perfect. But for me, I'm just a normal girl, I have a normal family, and I don't even have a cool quirk. How can I compete with you?"
Izuku knew what to say. "Did I ever tell you, I used to be Quirkless?"
Ochako was surprised by this. "What!"
"Yep. I had no quirk for most of my life. Not until the entrance exam."
"You mean, when you saved me," Ochako was dumbfounded. "When you destroyed that robot."
"Yep."
"I don't understand."
"What I'm saying is that despite all the odds against me, I still fought. Despite everything against me, I succeed. Before that I was nothing, but now, everyone talks about me," Izuku smiled. "That's why I support you one hundred percent. Because I believe in you."
Ochako felt a bright sensation in her core. "I'll do it." Izuku gave her a bright smile.
"By the way, a piece of advice. Kacchan has a very sensitive nose," Izuku stated. "But you didn't hear that from me."
"Thanks, Deku-Kun," Ochako leaned up and kissed him on the nose. "I'll bring victory." She stepped out into the spotlight.
"THERE SHE IS. THE GRAVITY GAL. DESPITE HER CUTE FACE, SHE PACKS A REAL PUNCH. SHE'LL RAISE YOU TO HEAVEN AND BRING YOU RIGHT DOWN TO HELL. THE GRAVITY LORD, OCHAKO URARAKA!"
Ochako made her way to the arena. Her body was filled with pride and confidence.
Bakugo made a scornful face. "Are you ready to meet your match?"
"I should be saying that to you," Ochako said.
"ARE YOU READY?"
"Of course I am," Bakugo said as he rotated his arm.
"TAKE YOUR STANCE!" Bakugo put on a flicker stance, his left arm down and swaying back and forth. Ochako meanwhile, used the Peek a Boo style.
"So, who do you think is going to win this one?" Wild Tiger asked.
"Not sure, but probably Bakugo," Shinu Senshi replied. "Nezu?"
The creature was counting the money he earned from Renzo's dumb bet. "Not sure, unless we're betting."
"I say, bet on my niece," said a very powerful feminine voice. Senshi turned and was met with a powerful kiss on the lips by his girlfriend, Hageshi Dageki. "Hi, sweetie."
"Hello, Hageshi," Senshi replied before kissing his girlfriend.
"So, what do you think of my little niece?" Hageshi asked.
"She looks tough," Wild Tiger said.
"She did score top ten in the entrance exam. However so did Bakugo," Nezu explained.
"Don't worry. I have full faith in Ochako. I trained her myself," Hageshi stated.
"BEGIN!"
Bakugo started with some quick powerful flicker jabs. Each one sliced the air. Ochako was lucky enough to dodge some of the jabs, but some still landed.
Bang Bang Bang
Ochako's arms protected her from her jabs, but they still caused massive damage. Despite that, Ochako still pressed forward. Bakugo threw some jabs, aiming more lower. Ochako felt them hit the bottom of her arms, but she still pressed on. When she finally got close enough to Bakugo, she attacked.
Bang
A quick punch was thrown at Bakugo's nose. The blond boy recoiled in pain, covering his nose immediately. Blood immediately came out. Ochako was about to throw another punch but was then met with Bakugo's counterattack.
BOOM
Bakugo threw his palm right at her stomach and used his quirk. "That hurt you bitch," Bakugo groaned.
Ochako was again on the receiving end of Bakugo's attacks. A swarm of punches was sent her way and she could barely block them all. Ochako tried, but Bakugo's quirk was too strong.
Right as Bakugo threw a punch, Ochako was about to catch it; but it was a fluke, and Bakugo kneed her right in her stomach. However, it still worked out for Ochako.
"I got you," she mumbled with a small grin. Ochako just needed to touch Bakugo for her to use her quirk. A faint glow came from Bakugo's leg before the boy started to float in the air.
'Shit, I was too careless,' Bakugo was thinking. His stomach was exposed, a perfect chance for Ochako uppercut.
Boom
A powerful uppercut sent Bakugo a few feet up in the air. The boy immediately groaned in pain. Ochako then released her quirk on him.
As bakugo fell to the ground, Ochako was reading her punch. This was her knockout blow.
But it never landed.
BOOM
Bakugo used his quirk to blast himself away from his female opponent. Then he used his quirk to blast himself forward.
BOOM
A flying knee hit Ochako's stomach, causing massive pain. Ochako had to hold her stomach, trying to ease her pain.
'No. I can still fight. Deku is counting on me,' Ochako was thinking. She tried to throw one more punch. But it was not enough.
Bam
Bakugo gave a right kick right towards Ochako's head. The girl fell on her knees before laying flat.
"BAKUGO KATSUKI IS THE WINNER."
Bakugo smiled as he wiped away the blood on his nose. "That was a good match Uraraka. No wonder Deku likes you."
"Wow, what an asshole. He didn't have to be so tough on her," Awase said.
"That's just Bakugo," Kaminari committed.
"Really!"
"Yeah, you get used to it," Kyouka said. "He's still a jerk though."
"I already hate him," Yui muttered.
Karen then noticed the very long absentee of a certain someone. "Hey, where's Izuku? He's been gone for a while."
"Don't worry about him," Himiko Toga said. "Just let him take his time."
Bakugo walked out of the arena, still bleeding from his nose. "Damn, she packed quite a punch. You got quite a feisty one," Bakugo said to the man in front of him.
"Katsuki," Izuku look right at Bakugo, "Why did you hurt her so much?"
Katsuki signed. "Relax, it was nothing personal. In fact, during the whole fight, I barely even thought of you."
"AND?" Izuku was calming down a little bit.
"I just wanted to have a good fight. That's all. Besides, should you be somewhere else," Izuku raised his brow. "By the way, did you tell her I had a sensitive nose?"
Izuku looked away. "No."
"YOU SON OF A BITCH. YOU DID!"
Ochako woke up in a hospital bed. The light of the nursing room blinded her. As she got up, a comforting hand eased her.
"It's okay, it's okay," Izuku said. "Just stay calm."
"What am I doing here?" Ochako then remembered. "Oh." She slumped forward.
"Hey, I think you did a good job," Izuku was trying to calm her spirits.
"But it wasn't enough," Ochako began to tear up. "I wasn't good enough."
"Why would you say that?"
"Cause I didn't win. I couldn't prove myself to the other heroes. I couldn't help my parents even with all my training. I couldn't live up to my aunt, despite her training me. I couldn't impress you. I'm a failure." Ugly tears began to fall off her face.
"You know, I lost once," Izuku said. Ochako turned to him, not believing what he just said. "It was right after the Chrakii fight. I had a sparring match with some sword guy. I lost in less than ten seconds." Ochako was amazed by what she was hearing. "It got to me, that lost. I thought I couldn't win anymore. But I continued, despite that humiliating loss. In the face of my defect, I thought about what a hero would do. A hero wouldn't let one loss defy them. A hero would get up and fight on. Because that's what heroes do."
Ochako was now filled with excitement and courage. "Yeah, that's what heroes do."
"By the way," Izuku out on a sly grin, "What did you mean 'you couldn't impress me?'"
Ochako immediately blushed. "What I don't know what you mean?"
Izuku then kissed her right on the cheek, making her face turn even redder. "Ochako, I'm not stupid." The girl then hid right under the bed covers; much to Izuku's amusement. "I guess we should tell her Himiko."
From behind the curtains, the blonde girl came out. "Sorry to spy on you two. But I guess we do have to explain."
Ochako took a peek out. "Ochako, do you know what a poly is?"
"THE SECOND TO LAST MATCH OF ROUND ONE IS ABOUT TO BEGIN! FROM THE CLASS OF 1B, WE HAVE A PRODIGY. DON'T LET HIS SMALL FRAME FOOL YOU. HE'S PACKING AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF POWER. HE CAN HANDLE ANYTHING YOU THROW AT HIM. QUICK LIKE A SNAKE AND HAS A HOLD JUST AS TIGHT. THE KING OF STRANGLING. IT'S IMAI COSMO."
"Well that was a nice introduction," Cosmo said as he got to the arena. He began stretching his body, "Might as well go all out."
"Hey, why was Sato so tense?" Sero asked.
"Oh well, his opponent is Imai," Mina replied.
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Well, before they joined UA, Sato and Imai used to be sparring partners. However, Imai won nearly every single match they ever had," Mina explained.
"And Imai has even beaten Midoriya before. He's someone to look out for," Kirishima said. "I'm sorry to say, but Sato has a low chance of winning."
"Yes but you're forgetting something," Momo replied. "Winning when you have low odds is the manliest way you could win."
"Your right."
"IT'S SUPER MANLY," both Kirishima and TetsuTetsu yelled. "WE'RE CHEERING FOR YOU SATO!"
"THE SUGARMAN IS HERE! THE WRESTLING GIANT! THE MUSCLE MAN! IT'S SATO RIKIDO!"
The large teenager stepped out into the arena, stretching his arm along the way. "Let's do this," he said with a serious voice.
"Getting started already, I like it," Cosmo smiled.
"ARE YOU READY!?" Both reply with a nod.
"TAKE YOUR STANCE!" Imai took a low stance, his hands were free and his center of gravity was constantly shifting. Opposed to that was Sato; he had a high stance and his arms were far apart.
"BEGIN!"
Contrary to what people may have believed, the exchange between the two grapplers began with a jab. Cosmo gave a quick left jab aimed right at Sato's face.
Sato immediately blocked it with his right arm. Sato then used his left arm to grab Imai's arm. Using his immense strength, Sato threw Imai to the ground. Imai immediately landed on his feet, countering Sato's throw. Imai wrapped both of his arms around Sato's and pulled him toward the ground. As Sato's body fell forward, Imai used this chance to wrap his legs around Sato's Body, putting him into a triangle choke. However, Sato prevented Imai's attempt by using his free hand to wrap around one of Imai's legs. Sato then slammed Imai onto the ground.
CRASH
Despite the powerful throw, Imai got up perfectly fine. The blond boy then distanced himself from the wrestler. "You got better, nice," Imai's smile grew even bigger.
"I had to, if I wanted to compete with you," Sato put back his stance, "I know you're holding back."
"Yeah, I guess it's time to show you what I'm made of," Imai put on his stance as well, but this time something was different. The air around him was more serious than before. Cosmo was getting serious.
It started again with Sato beginning the initiative. He dashed straight towards Cosmo, not wanting to wait for Cosmo's attack. Surprisingly, Cosmo allowed Sato to grab both of his arms. Yet, before Sato could make any moves, Cosmo intervened.
BOOM
Como's knee met Sato's chin. Sato immediately recoiled, letting go of his opponent. Before Sato could get away, Cosmo continued his attack. Numerous hooks and kicks landed on Sato's body. While at first, they looked weak, it caused numerous stings and pain throughout Sato's body.
While throwing a jab, Sato used this chance for an arm whip. It connected and Sato was about to smash Imai on the ground again. But suddenly, Sato's arm was empty.
'WHAT!' Sato's answer came when a pair of arms launched themselves around his neck.
Cosmo had put Sato right into a python hold; with his legs trapping Sato's arms and Cosmo's arm choking him out. Sato fell on his back, Cosmo's hold tightening with every second.
"Come on Sato. We both know how this ends," Cosmo said.
With a face of disgust and scorn, Sato tapped out. "SATO RIKIDO HAS TAPPED OUT. IMAI COSMO WINS."
Cosmo let go of Sato, releasing him from his hold. Cosmo got up and proudly waved to the audience. He also extended his hand to his fallen opponent. "Don't let yourself down Sato, that was a good match."
As much as Sato hated losing, he happily accepted Cosmo's hand. Even though he would never fully admit it, Sato just could never hate Cosmo.
"Damn he lost," TetstuTetsu grumbled. "Then again, Cosmo is my classmate so I'm glad he won."
"Yes, a 1B member has finally beaten a 1A member," Monoma stated.
"Oh shit your right," Denki said. "I never noticed."
"DID ANYONE NOTICE!?" Monoma yelled.
"You did," Itsuka answered, much to Monoma's annoyance.
"NOW, THE LAST FIGHT OF ROUND 1. THIS MATCHUP IS SPECIAL. ALL THOSE AT HOME, YOU BETTER KEEP YOUR EYES ON. FIRST UP, OUR REPRESENTATIVE FROM UA. HIS RED HAIR SHOWS HIS HOT-BLOODED SPIRIT. HIS QUIRK REPRESENTS HOW TOUGH HE IS. THE MANLIEST MAN OF CLASS 1A. EIJIRO KIRISHIMA!"
The red hair boy walked out with full confidence and manliness. "Let's do this."
"NOW, THE BOY YOU ALL BEEN WAITING FOR. HE CAME FROM THAILAND FOR THIS TOURNAMENT. THE BEST MUAY THAI FIGHTER OF HIS GENERATION. THE RIVAL OF IZUKU MIDORIYA. THE ONE, THE ONLY, CHAISAI CHAKRII."
The Thai boy entered the spotlight, with a menacing aura around him. Instead of cheers, the audience was silent by his presence. No one said a thing as Chakrii went to the arena. His footsteps were the only thing that could be heard. As soon as he entered the arena, he broke the silence.
"Let's do this," Chakrii said in Thai.
"ARE YOU READY!?" Kirishima cracked his knuckles. Charkaii stretched out his whole body.
"TAKE YOUR STANCE!" Kirishima put on a boxing stance similar to Ochako's, except more forward. On the other hand, everyone expected Charkii to use a Muay Thai stance. However, what he used shocked everyone.
"WHAT'S THIS! A BOXING STANCE!?"
It was true. Charkii had his right hand forward, with left at his side.
"Wait, I thought Charkii was a Muay Thai fighter. Why is he taking a southpaw stance?" Ochako asked.
"Southpaw?" Toga was unfamiliar with that term.
"It means someone who dominant with their left hand. The term is often used for boxing and baseball. Since Charkii is using his right hand forward, instead of the traditional left. Though I never expected this," Izuku explained. "Charkii had a normal stance when I fought him. Why would he change so suddenly and why a southpaw?"
"Khaosai Galaxy." Izuku and Toga turned to Ochako. "Ever heard of Khaosai Galaxy. He's considered the best Thai Boxer to ever live, and he was a southpaw."
"By why boxing?"
"I think it's my fault," Izuku answered.
"BEGIN!"
Kirishima started by dashing right towards his opponent. Chakrii remained calm, waiting for Kirishima to come into his range. Kirishima continued to charge, like a raging bull. Yet, Chakrii maintained composure. Until-
Boom
A right jab right at Kirishima's face. However, he had managed to block the jab with both of his arms. It seemed like he was perfectly fine until he put his arms down; revealing a bloody nose.
"What's wrong, can't take a bloody nose?" Chakrii joked.
Despite his insult, Kirishima remained firm. Now in range, he threw a left hook aimed right at Chakrii's body. Chakrii stepped back and barely dodged the attack; a small cut ripping through his shirt and scarring his body. However, Chakrii couldn't dodge the next attack.
BAM
A hardened right straight aimed at the face. Chakrii's head went backward, blood oozing out. Chakrii put a hand to his face before noticing his bloody nose.
"Now we match," Kirishima joked as he regained his stance.
"Heh," Chakrii put his stance back on, "That's funny."
Kirishima used his Harding on both of his arms; transforming them into a rock-like state.
"All right, a hardening quirk. BRING IT ON!" Chakrii roared while putting on his most menacing grin.
The two began their exchange. Kirishima started with a powerful uppercut, which connected with Charkii's chin. A bloody rash appeared as Charkii's head went up. At the same time, Charkii gave a strong left hook at Kirishima's face. A small pinch of blood escape Krishima's mouth.
They punched each other again. Each gave a strong right punch in the gut, making each of them gasp for air. They stepped backward, both of them trying to get some breath.
Chakrii was the first to recover. Now sending some fast right jabs.
BAM
BAM
BAM
All three jabs connected right at Kirishima's face. Then, Charkii shifted his body and landed a devastating left hook at Kirishima's body. Despite protecting himself with his quirk, the punch badly hurt Krishima's body.
Boom
Charkii then followed it up with another right hook. However, Kirishima also attacked. Being so close now, Kirishima delivered another punch right towards Charkii's stomach. Charkii winced in pain, gritting his teeth as he tried to deal with the pain. Kirishima delivered three more punches, making Chakrii cough up blood.
Charkii, in response, grabbed Kirishima from behind his head and made the red-haired boy's stomach connect with his knee.
Kirishima backed away, covering his stomach. "First, you were a Muay Thai fighter. Then a boxer. And now back to a Muay Thai fighter. Can't you make up your mind?" Kirishima asked.
"Sorry, I'm extremely stubborn," Charkii joked. He put on his bloody grin before continuing the fight.
"Isn't that just manliness?"
Charkii's next attack was a jumping right elbow, aimed right at his opponent's head. Kirishima blocked it, but it caused him to stumble. Which opened him up for a right knee directly at the kidneys. Kirishima couldn't block that and suffered massive damage. Charkii then followed it up with a left elbow on Krishima's chin.
Kirishima tried to throw some more punches, but all of them were countered. Jabs was countered with a left roundhouse. Hooks were countered by a backward elbow. Downward strikes were met with a flying knee. Numerous strikes landed on Kirishima.
Those strikes nearly made Kirishima pass out. Chakrii then used his most powerful attack yet. A powerful roundhouse kick aimed for the head. Right before it landed, Kirishima hardened his head as hard as he could. But it was ineffective.
BOOOOOOOM
A roundhouse knocked out Kirishima, making him collapse on the floor face first. "That was huff a great fight," Charkii stated. He did not come out of this fight unscathed,
Charkii then lifted both of his hands in a victory pose. Although he was badly damaged, he at least wanted to show that he could still go on.
"WHAT A SPECTACULAR FIGHT. CHAISAI CHARKII IS THE WINNER. THIS CONCLUDES ROUND ONE OF OUR BATTLE TOURNAMENT."
AN: Fun fact, the last fight was based on the movie Ong-Bak movie. It was awesome and go watch it. Also, go read "My Hokuto Academia." It's a good story and needs more readers. Also, read "An Ashura is Born." the guy is going through a lot of stuff right now so he needs our support.
