seanmcsherry123: LOL Thank you! I just really enjoyed the thought of Kirishima and Hinikuna fighting eachother in this arc. I am curious though, who would you have liked to see Hinikuna fight first?
Amelia831: I was wondering if somebody was going to notice Yuyake's struggles of being an underground hero LOL. I actually wanted Kirishima to bring this up in a few chapters to piss Yuyake off before anybody could point it out first XD. Seems I was too late. I guess it's pretty face paced because most of the fights in this arc are pretty fast anyways. Although sometimes my pacing can be pretty damn fast.
Here it is! A new chapter.
Chapter 9: Fire Incarnate (That's The Spirit!)
As Hinikuna charged forward at Kirishima. The boy became engulfed in red flames. A huge stream of fire covering half of the stage making it's way to Ejiro.
"Scorched Earth!" The flames grew more intense as he approached Kirishima.
Kirishima rolled out of the way. The sleeve on his right arm was burnt away. Yuyake jumped from the fire, getting in Ejiro's face. His arms glowing red. Yuyake sent a right hook to Kirishima's side. The red head winced in pain. Before he could do anything else, Yuyake sent a red hot uppercut to the boy's chin. Kirishima's head whipped back. Yuya sent his left foot into Kirishima's stomach.
Kirishima wrapped his arm around Hinikuna's leg and punched him in the gut. As Hinikuna reeled back, he heated up his leg to release Kirishima's grip on him. Kirishima flinched back. Yuyake went back in for a red hot high kick. Kirishima just barely managed to weave out of the way.
"THESE TWO ARE GOING FOR AN ALL OUT BRAWL! IT'S A STRAIGHT UP FIST FIGHT!"
Kirishima was panting. Sweat dripping down his forehead.
Sweat dripped down Yuyake's forehead. Blood dripping down his face and a small amount of blood coming from his mouth. His arms still glowing red. The sunlight recharging his quirk ever so slowly.
'Damn it! I can't even touch him without getting burned in the process! I need to think...' Kirishima looked down at the ground. An idea suddenly popped into his head.
He slammed both of his hardened fists into the concrete, digging his nails into the concrete and pulled them upwards with all of his might. Two huge chunks of the stage were now stuck on Kirishima's fists.
The crowd started going wild.
"HOLY SHIT! LOOK AT KIRISHIMA! SHOTA YOUR STUDENTS ARE INCREDIBLE!"
Aizawa smiled behind his bandages. He began speaking.
"He knows now that trying to touch Hinikuna is risky. So he thought of a plan on the spot."
'Pretty good move Kirishima.' Shota nodded.
"Hinikuna! I won't lose to you!" The red head charged forward.
"That's what I like to see Kirishima!" Yuyake's arms glowed red.
Shooting red hot solar energy beams at Ejiro as he ran as fast as he could.
'The weight of those chunks of concrete are slowing you down. But if I get hit by one of those this'll turn out bad.' He narrowed his eyes as one of his beams knicked Kirishima's leg.
Kirishima cocked his left arm back. Before he could swing, Hinikuna had hit him with a right and left hook to both of his sides.
'Your movement speed isn't the only thing that's slower now. Your attack speed is slower to!'
Hinikuna sent a vicious uppercut to Kirishima's chin. Kirishima's head whipped back and he fell to the floor. He slowly got back up to see Hinikuna with his arms out infront of him.
"Incinerate!" A stream of red fire shot out at Kirishima.
Kirishima held up both of his arms. Pressing the chunks of concrete together. The fire started burning away the concrete slowly. Kirishima stood his ground.
'Ah crap! Im reaching my limit with my hardening! Im starting to get tired!' Kirishima gritted his teeth.
The stream of flames stopped soon enough.
Kirishima was seen standing with his arms exposed. Panting heavily with sweat dripping down his head. The right side if his P.E uniform burned away. The concrete on his arms was burned away as well.
"You're straining yourself to keep your quirk active aren't you? It's written all over your face." Yuyake commented as he observed Kirishima.
The red headed hero laughed in response.
"Hehe. Man, you're strong. I knew that from the battle trials and from the USJ, but this is unreal." Kirishima couldn't help but grin.
"Well then, I think it's time to end this." Hinikuna's arms began glowing red once more.
A large stream of red fire was shot out of his hands.
"HINIKUNA LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOING IN FOR THE FINISHER! CAN KIRISHIMA WITHSTAND THIS? OR IS IT TOO MUCH HEAT FOR HIM TO HANDLE?" Present Mic shouted.
In the stands, the class 1-A students were all sweating from the heat of Hinikuna's attack. Todoroki was the one who was sweating the least. He narrowed his eyes at the crimson fire.
Bakugo had payed very close attention to this fight. The sweat dripping from Hinikuna wasn't missed by Katsuki at all.
"It's so hot..." Midoriya said. Iida and Uraraka nodding in agreement.
Momo who was watching clenched her fists, 'Can I really stack up to everyone here?'
Her self doubt was kicking in. The pressure of being a recommended student was weighing down on her.
"Incinerate!" The crimson flames shot forward.
Slamming directly into Kirishima. Knocking him off of the stage. Kirishima was on the floor panting heavily, just barely keeping himself awake. Burn marks on both sides of his face and on his arms.
'Damn it all! I lost!' He clenched his fists in disappointment.
"EJIRO KIRISHIMA HAS BEEN KNOCKED OUT OF BOUNDS AND CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE! YUYAKE HINIKUNA ADVANCES TO QUARTER FINALS!" Midnight pointed her whip at the winner of the fight.
The crowd began cheering.
Hinikuna walked to the other side of the stage and jumped down to Kirishima.
"That was a good fight. You got some nice shots in on me."
"Yeaahhh. I guess so. I still lost though." He exhaled.
Hinikuna was about to walk away but chose to say and do something else. He sighed and looked back down at Kirishima.
"You hit like a damn truck you know. Had you kept on hitting me with more of those shots, especially when you used the stage as a weapon, you probably could have won. Although I wouldn't have made it easy for you." Hinikuna commented as he bent down and hesitantly pulled Kirishima up.
He felt a bit uncomfortable wrapping the boy's arm around his shoulder but did so anyways.
"CAN WE GET A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THIS SPORTSMANSHIP?!" Present Mic yelled.
The crowd started whistling and clapping.
"C'mon let's head to Recovery Girl." Hinikuna began walking with Kirishima.
"Yeah...I...I don't wanna miss the other matches." Kirishima muttered.
"We will take some time to repair the stage!" Midnight announced as she gestured for Cementoss to do his thing.
As Hinikuna and Kirishima walked to find Recovery Girl, they both talked casually for a bit.
"You're probably going to fight Bakugo soon. Im kinda jealous." Kirishima called out to his classmate as they reached Recovery Girl's office.
"Oh? You wanted to fight him?"
"Yup. I kinda was surprised when you walked up to him and challenged him infront of everybody."
"Todoroki challenging Midoriya and Midoriya's response to it, sparked a fuse. Im pretty competitive when it comes to this type of thing but, that gave me more motivation."
"Well since you challenged Bakugo, you better make sure you win."
"Trust me, I intend to."
They walked in and got their wounds treated.
Hinikuna tried to ignore the feeling of the hag kissing him again.
'Man this sucks, why can't Midnight be the nurse or better yet, Yaoyorozu?' He thought.
...Wait.
'Why did I just think that? Why does it matter if it's Yaoyorozu who does it anyways?' He narrowed his eyes in thought.
"You two boys are all good to go now." Recovery Girl waved them off and they nodded in response.
"Thank you Recovery Girl." They said and bowed in unison and left.
The two walked back to the stands after Yuyake got his phone and charger back from the waiting room.
"Yo bro, do you mind if we fight again sometime? I might have lost, but I kinda had alot of fun fighting you. It showed me how much further I need to go." Kirishima looked at his classmate.
"Sure, I don't mind."
"Aww yeah! I have a training buddy now!" Kirishima held out his fist towards Yuyake for a fist bump.
Hinikuna stared at Kirishima's hand for a second. He looked away hiding his smirk and bumped fists with Kirishima.
"We can even be on a hero team together, they'll call us the Red Duo or something." The sharp tooth student joked.
'Red Duo? Not gonna lie, that sounds pretty sweet.' Hinikuna mused to himself.
"I think your rushing it a bit Kirishima. Let's wait a few years and see."
"Hm? Ah I see now, you wanna be on a team with Yaoyorozu eh?"
Hinikuna flinched.
"I-Wha...No! I don't! Where did that even come from?!"
"I see the way you look at her bro. I won't tell anyone."
"What the hell are you on about?! I don't look at her! I admit she's pretty but she's just a friend! That's it!"
"Suuureeee. Haha. If you want we can add her to our hero team and we can be called the Red Trio instead since her costume matches us."
Hinikuna scoffed and kept on walking. Ignoring the previous comments as they walked up the stairs to the stands.
"Welcome back Hinikuna, Kirishima. Your match was great. Ribbit."
"Thanks Asui." They replied.
"Call me Tsu. Ribbit."
Kirishima just went with it and Hinikuna just stared at her blankly.
"Uhhhh no offense Asui, but I don't even know you like that..." He said.
"Eh. I don't care. Ribbit."
Hinikuna just stared at her with disbelief and nodded. Sitting down next to Bakugo.
Yaoyorozu turned in her seat to face Hinikuna.
"Congratulations on winning your match, Hinikuna." She smiled.
He felt his heart rate spike.
"Thanks...Yaoyorozu." He bowed trying to hide the blush that stretched across the bridge of his nose.
Kirishima's chuckles were heard by Yuyake. He even heard Bakugo scoff at the display.
'Okay seriously, what the fuck is going on? Why does that weird feeling keep coming back whenever she does something?' He wondered.
He decided it was better to think about it after the festival. He made a mental note of that and refocused on the festival.
The next match was chosen.
Momo Yaoyorozu vs Fumikage Tokoyami
The girl shakily stood up. She felt her heart rate increase.
'Okay, here it is now. My turn.' She gulped and went to her waiting room.
Yuyake noticed that.
'Is she nervous?...' He thought.
In Momo's waiting room she paced back and forth.
'Here it is Momo! This is your shot! Show everyone watching that you earned your recommendation!...But...What if I mess up? What if-'
"May the two fighters please make their way to the stage?!"
Her train of thought was cut off by Present Mic.
As she walked to the stage, she couldn't stop shaking. Her throat was dry. She stopped at the end of the tunnel. Her heart was beating fast.
'Focus Momo! You're strong! You are a recommended student at U.A! Vice president of Class 1-A! You can do this!' She steeled her nerves and walked up the stairs to the stage.
"FROM CLASS 1-A IT IS THE RECOMMENDED STUDENT, MOMO YAOYOROZU! VERSUS THE SAMURAI OF DARKNESS FUMIKAGE TOKOYAMI!"
The two opponents stood infront of eachother.
"Are the two fighters present ready?" Midnight asked.
They both nodded.
Hinikuna heard Midoirya and Ojiro talking about this match.
"I think time will be the deciding factor." Midoriya said as he looked down at the stage.
Hinikuna looked at Yaoyorozu.
'You can do it.'
Momo's mid was racing.
"Three...two...one..." Midnight counted down.
'There's no doubt he'll start off with a-'
"BEGIN!"
Momo was shocked out of her trance and Tokoyami summonded Dark Shadow.
He sent Dark Shadow after her quickly.
She summoned a shield from her forearm just in time. But the force of the attack pushed her back.
"Again Dark Shadow! Don't give her a chance!"
"Aye!" The creature responded to it's master.
Dark Shadow attacked again. Hitting the shield again. Pushing her back more. She summoned a staff from her hand but before she could do anything else, Midnight spoke up.
"Momo Yaoyorozu is out of bounds! Fumikage Tokoyami continues on to the next round."
Momo's eyes widened as she looked at her foot. She was out of bounds. She couldn't believe it. She had been beaten in less than ten seconds and didn't put up any kind of fight whatsoever.
Fumikage bowed in respect and walked off.
Momo walked back to the tunnel.
Hinikuna noticed the sad look on her face. Hinikuna was about to get up from his seat. But before he could make any movements, he felt something.
Kirishima nudged his shoulder, "Go dude. I think she needs you right now." He whispered.
Hinikuna was about ask him to elaborate on her "needing him" but decided against it to save time. He simply nodded and walked off. Not noticing the eyes of Ashido watching.
He walked through the hallways, looking for her. As he walked he couldn't help but question why he was doing this. Especially considering the fact that he wasn't hesitating at all. It was like his body was completely on auto pilot right now.
'Well I already made it this far. No turning back now.'
He turned his head to the right once he approached the corner. There he was leaning against the wall. Her eyes fixed on the floor with her right hand on her left forearm. She was visibly saddened.
As he looked at her, he couldn't help but feel that he liked it much better if she had her lips curled upwards in a smile.
'Well...Here goes nothing.' He swallowed his saliva as he approached her.
She turned her head and reeled back in shock as she saw Hinikuna. He looked as if he was studying her.
"Yaoyorozu..." He began.
"Hinikuna...I was pretty pathetic out there wasn't I? I barely lasted a few seconds. I didn't think I was so...so weak." She laughed at her self.
He pressed his lips together and walked closer to her. He felt incredibly nervous now. Leaning against the wall, standing right next to her.
"Im a recommended student of U.A...I didn't even get to do anything!" Frustration entered her voice.
There was now silence. He waited for her to continue venting her emotions out. So when he heard nothing, he took the chance to speak.
"You're not weak Yaoyrozu. If I thought that, I wouldn't have voted for you to be our class president."
That caught her attenion. She looked at him. Waiting for him to continue with his statement. He closed his eyes and started speaking.
"You're extremely intelligent. You have an amazing quirk to boot. A quirk like yours could be used for such selfish things and yet you choose to be a hero with it. I think that's incredible...You earned that recommendation because you trained your quirk to the point where a pro took notice of your skill. That's what I think. You're stronger than you realize. You lost against somebody who was probably your worst match up. I don't think anyone would think you're weak beause of that." He didn't know where all of that came from but by her facial expression, he could tell he lifted up her spirits.
A small smile crept up on her face. She reached out to hug him. He was startled by it initially. She buried her face in the crook of his neck. He felt a blush creep up on his face and this time without hesitation wrapped his left arm around her. His heart was pounding in his chest. For whatever reason, he began speaking again.
"Yaoyorozu...I know what it's like to not think very highly of yourself. I don't wanna see you of all people fall into that same pit. You...you deserve much more than that..." He said as he looked away. His words made her hug him tighter.
"Im glad that you think highly of me. Thank you Hinikuna."
"...Anytime Yaoyorozu."
They separated from eachother and began walking back to the stands.
"You know Ashido is most likely gonna tease us if we enter together right?" She asked.
"I'll just say I went to use the bathroom and met up with you on the way back."
"Sounds good enough." She nooded.
"Uh Yaoyorozu?"
"Hm?"
His face felt warm, knowing what he was about to say. It was still better than letting her think of her loss today.
"Y-You should t-try and smile more from now on...I just...er uh...it suits you better." He looked away. Hiding his embarassment.
'My god, I feel so fucking cheesy right now. Please let this be over before I actually have a heart attack...' Yuyake mentally facepalmed. At the very least, he hoped his words did something.
Yaoyorozu felt a weird feeling in her chest but didn't question it.
"Sure. I'd like you to promise me something Hinikuna." She stopped walking.
He stopped and turned to look at her. His silence signaled her to continue.
"Promise me that you'll win this festival then." She walked up to him and put her fist to his chest.
Hinikuna's eyes widened slightly.
"I...can no longer continue...So I would like it if you could win this..."
He was surprised by all of this. That was a real curveball.
"Don't worry. I will." He nodded.
'Except I don't know if Todoroki is willing to use his fire again...'
"Also Hinikuna, one more thing..."
"What is it?"
As he looked at her, he noticed she was thinking about what she was going to say. Her brows furrowed. Her eyes darting off to the side as she was thinking.
"After the festival tomorrow, would you like to hang out with me? There is a resteraunt and a nice mall that I know we can go to. I already asked Jiro about it but she's busy tomorrow. So I thought I should ask you."
'Is she asking me out on a DATE?! Oh shit! God dammit! No no no! That can't be it! We'd just be going as friends right?! I can't say no because I just cheered her up from her match with Tokoyami! I don't wanna see her be sad again! What do I do?! Fuuuuck!...'
"Uhh yeah...Just let me know what time you wanna meet up and I'll be ready..." He tried keeping a straight face. He didn't know if he was successful or not.
"Great! I'll be sure to let you know what time to be ready."
'Oh god. What madness have I gotten myself into?' He wondered.
As the two entered the stands, they saw what the next match was.
Katsuki Bakugo vs Ochaco Uraraka
Ashido would have commented on the two U.A students who just came back, but the next match had caught her eye. Along with everyone else's. The two fighters stood up and both went to their waiting rooms. Deku and Iida went over to Uraraka.
Hinikuna sat down next to Kirishima who winked and gave him a thumbs up. Hinikuna focused solar energy into his right eye and glared at Kirishima with his eye glowing red. Feeling the sun recharge his quirk would have felt so nice to. Kirishima just laughed nervously while scratching the back of his neck and sweat dropped.
Deku and Iida came back and the match began. The match was hard to watch for most of the class. Watching the kind girl get smacked with explosions wasn't easy to watch at all.
The crowd began booing at Bakugo. Causing Eraserhead to step up and shut it down.
Hinikuna acknowledged the girl's strategy. Creating a meteor shower from the rubble from Katsuki's explosions was a smart move. Bakugo's extreme destructive force won him the match in the end.
"Congratulations to everyone who made it to the this round! Within a few minutes we will begin the quarter finals! The first match of the quarter finals will be..." Kamaya sensei pointed her whip at the screen.
Izuku Midoriya vs Shoto Todoroki
'An intense one.' Hinikuna looked at the two fighters.
Deku was visibly nervous but tried his best to keep a brave face.
Soon enough the two were on the stage and the match was just as intense as everyone in the class thought it was going to be.
Hinikuna payed close to attention to Deku breaking his fingers over and over again.
'He's damaging his already broken fingers...The kid has lost his god damned mind...'
Even with that thought in his mind, his respect for the green haired boy grew. Midoriya's drive was one to be respected.
Eventually, the crazy kid had landed a solid blow on Todoroki.
"Oh shit! He actually managed to hit Todoroki!" Kaminari shouted in shock.
"Oh really? Wow, I didn't notice. Not like I was watching the fight or anything." Hinikuna commented in his usual sarcastic manner.
Kaminar kept a straight face as he buried his face into his palms and let out a muffled scream in frustration. Making Hinikuna chuckle.
As the fight went on Todoroki's weakness was being exposed. And soon enough his left side ignited after Midoriya screaming something at him.
*FWOOSH*
"Wow! That fire is so hot!" Uraraka could feel the heat from Todoroki's left side.
Everyone felt it.
Hinikuna just smirked.
'That's definitely hot but it'll take alot more than that to beat me, Todoroki...If we do fight today, you better be ready to use your fire...'
Both Deku and Todoroki clashed. The explosion was massive.
'Holy shit! That final clash was insane!' Hinikuna shielded his face from the debris flying.
Midnight and Cementoss tried stopping the fight, but the attempt proved fruitless. Deku was unconcious and out of bounds.
"SHOTO TODOROKI, IS THE WINNER AND ADVANCES TO THE SEMI FINALS!" Midnight announced as the crowd cheered.
Some of Class 1-A got up and went tothe nurse's office to check up on Deku. Hinikuna thought if he should go, he ended up going anyways.
He made it just in time to hear that Midoriya needed surgery on his hand.
Hinikuna looked at his right hand.
'Screw my qurik's drawbacks!' If he wanted to win this, his drive needed to match Deku or Bakugo's. He walked back to the stands.
Cementoss made repairs to the stage.
Everyone else made it back soon after. Just in time for the next match.
Tenya Iida vs Ibara Shiozaki
The match was over quickly. Tenya just pushed her out of bounds using his speed. When Iida came back he was acting a bit strange.
Hinikuna stood up as his match for thr quarter finals was chosen.
Yuyake Hinikuna vs Mina Ashido
"Let's have fun Hinikuna! I won't go easy on you!"
"Likewise."
He walked to the waiting room and waited.
"Can the two contestants please walk onto the stage?!"
Hinikuna walked out and cracked his knuckles. He walked up the stairs.
'Ashido can slide on her acid. So I'll use my bigger attacks so she can't dodge.' He made it onto the stage. Making eye contact with her.
"FROM CLASS 1-A WE HAVE THE XENOMORPH, MINA ASHIDO! VERSUS HER CLASSMATE, THE KID WHO PACKS THE MOST HEAT, YUYAKE HINIKUNA!"
Mina grew a playful smirk.
"Ya know Hinikuna, you keep staring at me like that, someone's gonna get jealous!"
Hinikuna just rolled his eyes in response.
"Tsk. The hell are you talking about?"
"Do I really need to tell you? Yaomomo obviously!"
"..."
'This girl I swear to god...' Hinikuna facepalmed.
"Are you two ready to begin?" Midnight asked the fighters.
They nodded.
"Three...two...one...BEGIN!"
Ashido began sliding on her acid.
Hinikuna held out both his arms.
"I'll end this quickly..." The limbs began glowing red.
"Scarlet Phoenix!"
Scarlet fire poured from his hands and took on the shape of the creature.
"HOLY FUCK! SHOTA, DO YOU SEE THIS?! HE MADE A PHOENIX OUT OF FIRE! WHAT THE FUCK TYPE OF DRUGS IS THIS STUDENT OF YOURS TAKING? I OBVIOUSLY NEED SOME!" Present Mic began shaking Aziawa violently.
"Hizashi! Stop shaking me! I haven't fully healed yet! You're supposed to be a teacher at U.A! You shouldn't be talking about wanting to do drugs!"
"Oh right." He let go of Shota.
"Sorry." Hizashi chuckled.
Aizawa groaned in annoyance and shook his head.
Ashido was laying on her back panting heavily.
"Can you continue?" Asked the dominatrix.
Ashido just shook her head negative.
"YUYAKE HINIKUNA ADVANCES TO THE SEMI FINALS!"
"Hinikuna...you don't...hold back huh?" Ashido panted as she got up.
"I am trying to win this festival sooooo...Im not gonna hold back."
"I'll go to...Recovery Girl now. Good luck." She walked to heal her wounds.
Yuyake walked back to the stands.
The next match was shown.
Katsuki Bakugo vs Fumikage Tokoyami
The two opponents stood up and walied to their waiting rooms.
The match began and was one sided. Bakugo was simply not a good match up for Tokoyami. The light from his explosions had Dark Shadow weakened.
Tokoyami ended up surrendering.
"KATSUKI BAKUGO ADVANCES TO THE SEMI FINALS!"
It was now down between Hinikuna, Bakugo, Todoroki and Iida.
The students were alble to rest for a bit.
Hinikuna had went to the water fountain to get a quick drink.
By the time he was back, it was now time for the Semi Finals to begin.
"WE ARE ABOUT TO BEGIN THE SEMI FINALS! THE FIRST MATCH WILL BE..."
Nemuri pointed her whip at the screen.
Shoto Todoroki vs Tenya Iida
They stood up and went to the waiting rooms.
Iida made one crtitcal mistake that cost him the match.
As Iida jumped over Todoroki's ice, he was able to kick him in the head. He tried to carry Todoroki to the out of bounds area. Shoto ended up freezing Iida's exhaust pipes and froze his legs.
"TENYA IIDA CAN NOT MOVE AND CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE! SHOTO TODOROKI IS THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH! HE ADVANCES TO THE FINALS!" Midnight pointed towards Todoroki.
The crowd went wild.
Iida never came back to the stands.
Hinikuna turned his head to face Bakugo. They made eye contact. Both smirked at eachother.
"THE FINAL MATCH OF THE SEMI FINALS IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!"
Katsuki Bakugo vs Yuyake Hinikuna
"You better fuckin' bring it Nightlight." Bakugo slammed his fist into his palm.
"Getting more creative with the nicknames are you? I wonder how many of your braincells died from coming up with that. You must've tried really hard." Hinikuna mocked the blonde.
"Let's see how many jokes your gonna be cracking once I blow your ass to bits." Bakugo walked off.
"You won't beat me..." Hinikuna made his way to the waiting room.
He sat down and closed his eyes.
'I have all of my solar energy replinished right now. I can win this.'
"It is time for the finale of the smi finals to begin! Come on out to the stage!" Present Mic called out with excitement.
Hinikuna walked out. As he walked up to the stage, his eyes landed on Yaoyorozu and Kirishima.
He had all the reasons to win this.
Bakugo had thought of kicking the door to Hinikuna's waiting room open, and telling him that whatever he was going through personally right now doesn't matter. However it seems the sunshine and rainbows fucker was ontop of his game today. So that wasn't needed. Unlike Icy Hot.
"HERE WE HAVE THE KING OF FLAMES, YUYAKE HINIKUNA! VERSUS THE WALKING TIME BOMB KATSUKI BAKUGO! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN MAKE SOME NOISE FOR THESE TWO FANTASTIC FIGHTERS!" Present Mic cheered.
As Class 1-A, except for Iida watched the two walk onto the stage, there was muttering amongst the class.
'Is it wrong to cheer for the both of them?! They're both my bros, I want both if them to win.' Kirishima was having a rough time with this match.
"What do you think of this match Deku?" Asked the gravity girl.
"Both Kacchan and Hinikuna are strong. It's Kacchan's destructive force versus Hinikuna's extreme heat. However, I think Hinikuna is at a disadvantage here."
"Huh? What do you mean Midoriya?" Kaminari looked his way.
All eyes were now on Deku.
"Uh...W-well...K-Kacchan's quirk let's him sweat nitroglycerin...a-and Hinikuna's quirk let's him heat himself up among other things. S-So..."
Everyone's eyes widened in understanding.
"By using his quirk in this fight, Hinikuna is gonna make Kacchan sweat more..." Midoriya continued.
Bakugo was his worst match up in the class.
Hinikuna cracked his knuckles.
'Bakugo seems to be at his best whenever he's pissed. I know just the right thing to say to get him angry.' Hinikuna's eyes veered to the 1-A stands. His lips curled upwards.
"Im gonna flatten you Sunshine!"
Hinikuna laughed as a response.
"Oh please. This'll be easy for me. I won't even break a sweat. If Deku can knock you on your superiority complex having ass, then it should be too easy for me. Like taking candy from a baby." Yuyake gave a shit eating grin.
Hinikuna watched in amusement as Bakugo's face contorted in anger. Veins pulsing in his forehead. The part about Deku really seemed to do the trick.
'Oh yeah. He's really fucking pissed now.' Yuyake chuckled inwardly at Bakugo trying not to explode.
"Smack talk aside, are you two ready?" Midnight asked the fighters.
"Of course I am."
"LET ME KILL HIM ALREADY DAMMIT!"
Midnight nodded.
"You may BEGIN!"
It was now the unstoppable force versus the immoveable object.
To Be Continued
I hope you guys liked the chapter! Originally, I was gonna have Momo beat Tokoyami and have her fight Yuyake next chapter. I also was gonna have Yuyake's respect for her grow throughout the fight. But honestly, the pairing would have felt one sided if I did that. I might actually post that version of her fight with Hinikuna and Tokoyami later. Hope you're all hyped for Bakugo vs Hinikuna! Anways I'll see all of you people next time!
