Happy New Year people, how's the new decade been treating you? Things were fun over here on my side of things and I hope that you all enjoyed your new year's celebrations. The New Year also means more updates for my stories, new ideas being published, and maybe some older ones being scrapped. I'm hoping that I can get much more done this year compared to last year since I'm getting the hang of university life but my studies must always come first.

D3lph0xLo3r – Thank you for the compliment. It was a request from another reader and when I thought about it, such an event happening makes a lot of sense really, those two aren't exactly the best of friends but I hope that they can work together then the situation calls for it. And Midoriya is gonna have to fight for his win, he's not gonna have a picnic I can assure you, having a protagonist win because of plot armor is always so annoying so I'm trying not to let that happen but show characters legitimately work for their rewards.

NinjaFang1331 – Thanks for the compliment but I would love it if you could leave more detailed reviews or even PMs, having your opinions and point of view is always welcomed.

dude drake – Ojiro is slightly different from cannon as I'm trying to make him into a character that hates shortcuts in life and views rewards as something that only the deserving may have. He isn't too stuck up as he knows when to put his pride aside for the greater good but in most cases, this is him. We don't know how Shinso got them to join up but we can assume he used his quirk on them. As for the mix-up, I am so sorry. I didn't realize that till you pointed it out as I made changes to the original team compositions midway through chapter 18 and forget to ensure the flow matched up. Kuroiro was supposed to be on one of the losing teams.

Pokemark17 – The manga makes references to real-world things like comics so I thought, why not. I know that the BNHA universe is set like 200 years in the future but I needed a way to show that they are still people. The grammar is an honest fault of mine, I make no excuses.

Chapter 20: The Boy Who Worked for his Wings

(Previously)

"Let's put that steel of yours to the test!" Midoriya challenged as he swung his staff for the back of Tetsutetsu's head but even the hit landed, the steel user took no damage.

"Nice try but I can take everything you can give!" Tetsutetsu shot back as he turned around and went for another punch but Midoriya was able to jump back in time.

"We'll see about that, so try this one!" Midoriya countered as he fired off a shockwave at him but the boy proved that he was fast as he dodged the blast and ran towards Midoriya who was caught off guard.

'Shit, he's fast!' He thought to himself as he tried to jump back to avoid the attack but Tetsutetsu closed the gap faster than he thought he would.

"Got you!" Tetsutetsu yelled as he hit Midoriya with a good old shoulder tackle, Izuku was able to raise his staff in time to block but only barely. The force of the blow was still strong enough to send him back a few meters. Even though the fight had just started, the spectators were loving this as they roared.

"Damn that hurts, he does pack a punch. Guess I can't play this safe," Midoriya said to himself as he got into a combat stance and activated his wings. However there was a difference to the other times they activated that day as the blue steaks leaked to the individual feathers, giving them a blue glow as if they were on fire.

"Time to go on the attack." Midoriya said as he readied himself for battle.

(And now)

"Things are sure interesting." Awase noted from his class's booth. He along with the rest of 1-B had already seated and were watching the match unfold.

"Yeah man, wonder how Midoriya's gonna win this one." Kaminari replied as it was easy for the two classes to talk to one another, even if there was a wall dividing them.

"Don't be so sure," Tsuburaba said with a smirk. "Tetsutetsu's no slouch."

"Hmm." Kodai agreed with him.

"Yeah but Midoriya is like, a super genius." Uraraka came to her friend's defense.

"Your faith in our classmate is heart-warming but we must not close off your view to the situation. This won't be an easy match for him to win." Tokoyami said as he kept his eyes on the match. His words silencing the two groups as they both turned to watch the opening matchup.

(With the combatants)

"Let's go!" Tetsutetsu yelled as he charged Midoriya again, his fist cocked back and ready.

"And Tetsutetsu goes on the attack! Man those punches look like they hurt!" Present Mic called out as Midoriya was forced to avoid this attack as well.

'Yeah, no shit.' The green-haired boy thought to himself as he blocked another strike with his staff and winced when he saw it bend under the pressure before going back to shape. That wasn't good. "Let's try something…" He said to himself as he deflected another punch to the side with his staff "First form…" Midoriya said as he jumped back.

"Too slow!" Tetsutetsu yelled as he followed after him. But as soon as he got into striking range again, Midoriya knocked his fist to the side with his arm before he twirled his body around somewhat and activated his left wing to smack him, the only difference being both could hear a hum as something within the wing powered up.

"Electric feathers!" Midoriya yelled as the wing came into contact with the larger boy and electrocuted him for his troubles.

"Arg! Dammit, that shouldn't hurt." Tetsutetsu commented as he fell back to regroup. "How did you do that?"

"After the USJ, it was proven to me that my actual pack needed serious upgrades so I installed numerous 'forms' to account for most situations." Midoriya explained as he twirled his staff around. He loved when he could show off his genius like this. "This one turns each feather into a super taser." He flared up the wings again and now the audience could see the electricity arching off them to the ground. Lucky for Midoriya his boots were insulated so he wasn't a conductor himself.

"But let's get back to the fight!" Midoriya said as he was the one who dashed towards the opponent this time, covering the distance rather quickly. Tetsutetsu tried to go for a clothesline but Midoriya reacted fast enough to skid under his arm and smack him in the back with his staff, the force of which forced him to take a step forward to keep his balance. "Now who's the slow one?" Midoriya taunted as he was getting into the speed of things, he may not love combat like others but he could always appreciate a challenge.

"That didn't hurt!" Tetsutetsu roared as he turned around and struck or at least, tried to strike the smaller and far more nimble boy who just backflipped out of his reach. Impressing the audience with his flexible and acrobatic skills.

"It's not supposed to." He responded as they started another encounter which turned to was Tetsutetsu trying to punch, kick or otherwise strike Midoriya who in turn merely dodged and weaved in-between the blows like water through rocks piles before he would strike with his staff, aiming for Tetsutetsu's back and joints which although were landed not like his opponent's attacks, they weren't doing anything of significance.

"Midoriya certainly knows how to move, he knows that he isn't as durable as Tetsutetsu so he's sticking to dodging for the most part." Vlad noted as he was very impressed with the boy's performance against one of his own best close-quarters fighters, he was slightly envious of Aizawa.

'Dammit, I can't get a hold on him! At this rate,' Tetsutetsu thought to himself as he could feel the proverbial sweat building.

'The match will become one of attrition.' Midoriya finished the thought as he zigzagged around another knew strike and sound a target in the boy's lower back which he quickly took.

(With the students)

"Well I'll say one thing about him, he sure knows how to dodge." Kaibara noted as they have been watching this match go on for just over three minutes now.

"Yeah but that won't win him the match, Tetsutetsu can just wait for him to tire." Monoma counted, confident that his classmate will come out on top and prove himself-(and the rest of the class by connection)-as better than 1-A.

"But Midoriya must know that, so why?" Iida asked as he could see that his friend didn't have the power to defeat his opponent, not if he didn't use his boots.

"I don't know but he must have a plan of action, Midoriya isn't one to go about without thinking first." Yaoyorozu added as she was trying to find a rhyme to his reason here but was coming up empty.

"You mean like how he tricked you into doing most of his work?" Jiro snickered to which the rest of the class, laughed at Iida's expense.

"That's a separate and completely unrelated manner Jiro, please don't bring such up!" Iida told her as he chopped his hands in embarrassment at that little incident.

"No…" Ojiro said as he caught some of the more complex moves and saw a pattern. "I think…I think he's about to go on the offensive again." He observed as even Kendo had noticed something off with the fight but had kept quiet about it.

(With the combatants)

'Dammit, I can't land a single hit on this guy!' Tetsutetsu angrily thought to himself as he once more missed his mark. "Stop dodging and take a hit already!"

"And who in their right mind would stand there and willingly get hit? DO I look like a masochist to you?" Midoriya yelled back as he blocked a kick with his staff, his choice of words caused a blush to work itself onto more than a few people in both their classes and the stands.

"Don't just say that kind of stuff!" Tetsutetsu yelled at him as he blocked an attack himself.

"It's a honest…" Midoriya started jumped back and reared his staff for a jab. "Question!" One that landed right into Tetsutetsu's guts, actually making him wheeze a bit. "But it's time we finished this…" Midoriya said as he pressed a button on his staff, causing the top fourth of the thing to grow and expand. It took only moments for it to take on a new appearance, one that no one was expecting.

"What..." Tetsutetsu started,

(With the students)

"The…" Most of 1-A and B continued as they were silenced by what they were seeing.

(With the pros)

"Hell…" Death Arms unknowingly finished as he along with Lady and Woods were on the afternoon patrol and they all has paused to look up at the screen. Even Lady was surprised. She never thought such anything was Midoriya's style.

(With the Shields)

"Yes, he's finally going to use it!" Melissa cheered as she jumped for joy at seeing her tech used on such a grand stage.

"Can't believe he waited this long. Must have wanted to make it as big a deal as he could." David thought aloud with a small smile as he watched his daughter jump for joy, he remembered when his work was first introduced and how exciting and scary that was. Man, he was getting old since he never did like it when his father remembered stuff from years past and now here he was, doing the same thing.

(With the Bakugo and Midoriya's)

"That's…a war hammer…right?" Hisashi asked as he looked at both the monitor and arena to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

"Yeah….I never thought I'll see the kid using something like that." Masaru said, equally stunned as it had been years since he had seen someone used something like that, even pros tended to use smaller arms.

"Inko?" Mitsuki asked her friend as she tried to wrap her head around this.

"Yeah…" Inko was sad, in the same boat. She didn't recall her son ever doing anything with a damn hammer! How'd he hide such a thing? Why'd he hidden such a thing!?

"Your son needs a limit, this is getting too much." Mitsuki suggested as this was getting into the realm of should be impossible.

(With the combatants)

"The hell did you get a frickin war hammer!?" Tetsutetsu demanded as he pointed to the before-mentioned weapon. The hammer itself was expertly designed as the weapon was sleek and refined-looking while still appearing to be a deadly tool of carnage. The thruster on the back wasn't in any way assuring of what the thing was capable of.

"The joys of nanotechnology and some other creative innovations. I friend of mine put a lot of work into this so I thought it would be nice to show it off, after adding in some…useful attachments" Midoriya answered with all the pride of an inventor showing off their latest gadget as he somehow was still able to spin the weapon around with one hand before he stopped and got into another combat stance, this one suited for such a weapon. "By kicking your ass." He ended with a smirk, the glint in his eyes not so different from the one in Hatsume's or even Mellissa when she's really into a project.

"Like hell, this just got interesting!" Tetsutetsu roared as he charged the boy, his hammer be damned. He threw a punch but Midoriya was not only able to counter it but he counters it with a swing from the hammer, Tetsutetsu's first meeting the thing midway into his attack before Midoriya jumped back and this time, he reared back for an attack.

"Let's see how much punishment you can take!" Midoriya challenged as he jumped forward and swung the hammer directly into Tetsutetsu's chest, hammering him with enough force that not only did Tetsutetsu feel the strike but it launched him way back towards the boundary line. He was able to save himself from going out of it but only having 3m to work with from the 8m he was at wasn't a normal thing for him.

"And Mr. Sass shows he's got a lot more bang for his buck than expected with that wicked strike! He nearly knocked Tetsutetsu out of bounds for crying out loud!" Present Mic called out as the crowd cheered for this unexpected upstart.

"And is certainly a surprise, this kid would do well in the support class." Vlad added his two cents as he wondered who his student would counter this. There were certainly gaps in Midoriya's stance and defenses which he hoped his student could see and exploit but he had seen enough of the two of them so far to know the chances of that were slim. If it were kendo on the field, she would have capitalized on such things and probably won if not given the student from 1-A a harder time but sadly, she wasn't the one on the field. It was his class brawler who needed to think more with his brain than his brawn.

"Good, you're still in this." Midoriya said as he got ready, he was enjoying this fight, even if he was starting to feel the pain from the earlier shoulder tackle in his arms. "Wanna keep going?"

"Ha…." Tetsutetsu breathed out as he stood back to his full height, that strike packed a punch. "I can take whatever you got."

"That's the spirit!" Midoriya yelled as he activated his wings and took to the skies before he dive-bombed the white-haired youth with his hammer raised. "Take this!" he finished as he brought the hammer down but this time, Tetsutetsu jumped to the side to avoid the attack with left a cracked hole in the ground where he just was.

"You gonna need more force if you think you can beat me!" Tetsutetsu said as he jumped forward to try and grabbed the boy but he just flew out of his range to avoid the swipe.

"I got more where that came from!" Midoriya counted as he flew towards him from the side in the hope that he could blindside him. What he wasn't expected was for Tetsutetsu to catch the hammer just before it made contact. 'What!'

"So do I!" Tetsutetsu said with a wicked smile on his face as he pulled back his fist and landed a blow to Midoriya's side. One that was strong enough to cause a cracking sound to be heard by the target alongside a searing pain as he knocked back, landing on his back.

'Crap that hurt like hell!' He thought to himself as he tried to get up but the pain in his side stopped him as he reached for it. 'Cracked a rib…or three there, I'm gonna need a medic after this…' he would have continued that line of thought as he got up but a call from his opponent grabbed his attention.

"Pay attention!" Tetsutetsu let loose a punch that would have won the match if not for Midoriya instinctively rolling to the side to avoid it. The power of the said attack was enough that upon impact with the concrete arena floor, it cracked it, forming spider web cracks and small dents.

"You know, you could have not said that, why would someone want their enemy to know their coming?" Midoriya asked as he used his war hammer to support himself back onto his feet. He was lucky Midnight wasn't as strict as you would think for an umpire as if this was most other matches, he would have declared the loser due to having an injury. He couldn't afford another one.

"You're my opponent, not my enemy." Tetsutetsu answered as if it was obvious. "It would have been cowardly not to." At that, Kirishima started to cry manly tears as he 100% agreed with such an assessment. Those in 10B showed that although they might not have done the same, they were proud of him for his noble heart.

"Ha…Looks like we agree on that front." Midoriya said as he got back into a battle stance, he ignored the pain of his ribs in favor to keep the fight going. "But why don't we wrap this up?"

"I couldn't agree with you more, sorry but this is gonna be my win." Tetsutetsu replied with a smirk as he got ready to finish this with one blow, he could see Midoriya was injured therefore slower so the odds of this one landing weren't so bad.

"Try me!" Midoriya yelled as he charged the steel quirk user with his hammer held tight as he brought it up for what he assumed was another attempt at a finishing blow but just as Tetsutetsu readied himself to dodge, something unexpected happened.

Midoriya dropped the hammer, seemingly losing his grip on it.

'What?!' Tetsutetsu thought to himself as he tried to understand why he would do such a thing, because of this he eyes tracked the falling hammer and not the actual user of it. Who had flown lower to the ground before he cut the engine, fallen to extra couple meters to the ground, and started to roll towards him. "Shi-!" Tetsutetsu yelled in his head as the first thing he saw when he wised up and tried to see where Midoriya had gone was a foot coming towards his face. The shockwave generated from said boot didn't help things as he was knocked by the force of the blow and only barely stayed standing, though his eyesight was wobbly from the blow.

"Should have kept your eyes on the prize." Midoriya said as he closed the gap between them and before Tetsutetsu could counter it, Midoriya got behind him and locked his arms around his waist. In a feat of spectacle, sheer strength, and endurance in ignoring his screaming rib injury, he was able to lift the larger boy up. "Up we go!" he yelled as he activated his jetpack right on time, flew a couple of meters in the air before flipping around and bringing the two of them down, burying Tetsutetsu's head into the ground with his arms still locked around his waist.

"Holy-, did Midoriya just perform a picture-perfect jet-assisted German Suplex?" Present Mic asked. Where was this kind picking this shit up!? On a side note, at that same moment, All Might sneezed.

"I think he just did, that kid is something else. I want to know what Eraser is teaching his class." Vlad added, equally shocked and impressed. He hadn't seen one of those used in an actual fight in years. Most heroes relied too much on their quirks to put in the effort to build up the natural strength for it. They weren't the only ones as the crowd was equally shocked by such a feat as Midoriya released his hold on the boy and stepped back to watch as the boy tried to get his head out of the ground.

"It's not over, not yet." Midoriya said to himself as he went over to where he dropped his hammer and picked it up, before slowly walking over back to him with one hand holding at his side. "Come on Tetsutetsu, I got a nice surprise for you." He finished as he reached a good spot and raised his weapon high, preparing to finish things.

"Holy shit, that hurts…" Tetsutetsu, none the wiser to this, said as he was just about able to get his head out of the ground. He was thankful his quirk could take such punishment as he was pretty sure the human skull wasn't strong enough, or maybe it was he was strong enough that Midoriya resorted to such a move, 'Never thought someone would bury my head in the ground like that, I gotta watch out.' He thought to himself as he was finally able to get his head out of the ground.

"Tetsutetsu! Look out!" He heard most of his class yelled out to him before he looked up to see what the problem was. What he saw was Midoriya standing in his line of sight of his friend but what froze him was the fact he was on his knees and Midoriya was standing tall, with that big hammer of his pose to come down on him.

"Wha-!" He said before the realization wash over him. 'Oh shit.' Tetsutetsu thought to himself as he hatefully resigned himself to his fate. He lost this one.

"Hammer-fall!" Midoriya yelled out as he brought the hammer down(Which was being supported as a jet of propulsion shot out the back of the thing) onto Tetsutetsu with enough force to not only send him back down to the floor and do so hard. The impact of his steel body against it caused a small crater to form even larger cracks than the first one to form from it. Midoriya rose the hammer again and waited but for 10 full seconds, the steel user didn't get up both he and the audience watching saw that his quirk deactivated, signaling he lost consciousness as a result of the blow.

"And that's," Midoriya spoke up, not knowing the entire stadium and those watching in another location could hear him due to the many high-tech microphones scattered about. As he spoke he dropped his hammer and took a couple of shaky steps back. "How's it done…shit my ribs." He finished his statement as he fell on his ass and started feeling up his ribs inspecting the damage.

"Tetsutetsu is down!" Midnight announced as she whiped her thingy(I still haven't googled what that thing is, sure me) in the direction of Tetsutetsu's knocked-out form before she turned it towards Midoriya "Midoriya advances!" And with that call, the crowd started to cheer again, even louder than at the start of the match.

"Good match man, Good match…" Midoriya said as he laid on his back and looked straight up at the clouds above. Man, that was a fight. 'Jeez, I knew that things will be hard but that…that was something else. Now I wanna spar with him every chance we get. I hope he accepts.' He thought to himself as he envisioned all the battles they could have, he could see himself losing many of them as they both improved but he could also see himself growing stronger and winning the other bouts.

"Do you need assistance leaving the field?" Cementoss asked as he walked towards him and stopped just as the medical bots came to retrieve the down student and take him for treatment.

"No, no…just basking at the moment Cementoss-sensei, I can get to Recovery Girl myself." Midoriya said as he slowly got up, grabbed his hammer, and pressed another button which caused it to collapse but into a regular staff before using it to support him as he walked off the stage.

"Very well, you can accompany Tetsutetsu there." Cementoss informed him as he walked right on past him, his response was to nod his head and keep on going.

(With the students)

"That was so metal!" Kaminari said as they all saw both competitors leave the field for the medical bay. "I want a rocket-powered hammer too!"

"The last thing you need is a hammer!" Jiro yelled back at him as she didn't want his forgetful but having such a thing laying around.

"Such a brutish weapon, I would have thought him better than that." Aoyama commented as he did his usual pose from his seat, though no one was paying attention.

"Hey man, it got the job done, didn't it? Thought the whole rocket-powered was over the top." Sero said in his defense before he thought back to the end when they saw that brutal finishing, sure if just knocked the guy out but it made it him about what other goodies their rep was hiding. "What you think Kirishima? Kirishima?"

"It was so frickin manly guys!" Kirishima yelled back with manly tears as he tried to wipe them away, he couldn't help it! That was a great match.

"Metal-head's not gonna like that he lost." Tokage said as she whistled in amazement at the match-up. She did not see a war hammer of all things playing a part in this but now she could see that she would need to be extra careful in her match-up against him since he would be her quarter-finals opponent if she won her match.

"I don't know," Kendo replied as she scratched her chin "It was a fair match, he could take it well." She suggested as even though they hadn't known each other long, Tetsutetsu didn't come off as a boy who held grudges, especially not for things such as this.

(In the Medical bay)

"And there you go, all better." Recovery Girl said as she gave him a kiss which fixed the last of his injuries but left him slightly worn.

"Thank you Recovery Girl-sensei. I didn't expect him to hit so hard." Midoriya thanked her with a small bow seeing how it was still seated.

"You need to learn that many things in life aren't planned for, Midoriya." Recovery Girl warned him, All Might by her side nodding his head in agreement.

"Yeah, you're right about that. I'll be more careful in the next match." Midoriya assured them with a small smile.

"Still, your performance was quite the spectacle young Midoriya, it's been a while since I've seen a perfectly executed German Suplex." All Might complimented him with a smile. One that he shyly returned.

"You're the one that got me hooked on professional wrestling." Midoriya started but was hit over the head with a syringe-styled cane. "Ow!" He yelped as he rubbed his head as Recovery Girl glares at him.

"If I see you in here again because you were imitating something as dangerous as professional wrestling and this idiot," She was interrupted when All Might tried to defend himself as not an idiot but was silenced when she turned her glare to him. "I'll have your head, is that understood?"

"Yes, mam!" Both of them responded, scared of another hit as this old lady was stronger than she looked, much stronger.

"Now good, you can leave now, I have to attend to my other patient." Recovery Girl excused him as she got up and went over to the bedside where Tetsutetsu had been placed, he was still out cold.

"Is he okay?" Midoriya asked, concerned that he may have done more damage than he intended.

"Yes, his quirk took most of the punishment so he's only knocked out right now, I still gotta check for concussions though." Recovery Girl told him as she looked over him for any injuries she missed the first time.

"Oh…I hope he gets better soon, thanks again!" Midoriya replied as he got up from his seat and bowed to them before leaving the room.

(With the students)

'I hope I'm not too late.' He thought to himself as he walked along the corridor looking for where his class was seated.

"Midoriya!" he heard someone calling out to him, making him look to the right and saw that Uraraka, Iida, and Tokoyami were seated waiting for him. "Good work out there!" Uraraka commended him.

"We saved you a seat." Iida said as he pointed at the empty seat between himself and Tokoyami who just nodded his head at him, he knew that his friend wasn't one for words but he appreciated it all the same.

"Thanks, you guys. But man was that a hard match, Tetsutetsu can sure through a punch." Midoriya said as he walked over and took his seat.

"You're telling me, I was the one he was hitting in the cavalry race." Sato joked from a few seats behind him.

"Oh I forgot about that," Iida said as he recalled seeing that but another thought came to mind. "But weren't you wearing armor or something?"

"Still hurt." Sato counted with chuckle and smile.

"Thanks for waiting folks, the next match is about to begin!" Present mic's announcement, however, broke whatever conversations they were having as both classes look back to the field.

(On the field)

"He's good, he's good but what's up with that plainness that he just can't seem to shake off. From the hero course, Hanta Sero!" Present Mic introduced as Sero stood stretching his arms.

"Don't you think that was a bit harsh?" He asked with an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Versus-" Present Mic said as they turned their gaze towards the smirking green-haired girl from 1-B

"She came second in the first event and third in the second event, she's no joke but what would expect from a recommendation's student? Also from the hero course, Setsuna Tokage!" Sero felt a little betrayed there since her introduction was a lot better than his.

"This will be over quickly." She joked as she got ready for a short match.

(With the students)

"Now for the second match of the finals—" Present Mic started but both had yet to get into any sort of combat stance.

'The only tape dispenser can win this is with a quick opening attack if not…' Bakugo thought to himself as he analyzed the two of them.

'He doesn't stand a chance.' Midoriya finished that thought as he too knew that Sero was heavily disadvantaged here.

"Ready?" Present Mic called out.

(One the field)

"Man, I don't feel like I can win here…" Sero started as he rolled his shoulders to get them loose.

"Start!" Present Mic called as the match officially started. But quick as a fly, Sero sprang into action, firing off a line of tape towards Tokage and wrapping up her waist in it before he fired off another one as fast as he could towards her arm, he then cut the first line and swung his body, using the turning force generated to throw the girl out of bonds.

"But I don't feel like losing either!" He finished as he was able to complete almost all of his points with the only one remaining was for Tokage to fall out of bounds.

"Oh-oh, a surprise attack? Go get her Sero!" Present Mic yelled as the crowd was awed at his quick and rather smart play.

"Nice try but…" Sadly for him, his plan just wouldn't cut it. Tokage thought it had been enough of a build-up and separated her body into five pieces, her legs, torso, arms, and head all flew off and allowed her to easily escaped the tape trap.

"And Tokage gets out of it and splits!" Present Mic said as all five pieces started to zip around in the air, making it impossible for Sero to know which to target.

"Man, that's creepy!" Sero said as he avoided an attack from one of her arms but failed to notice that was just a distraction.

"You should pay more attention." Tokage's head teased as she from afar.

"Wh-GAA!" Sero started but was winded when both the girl's legs rammed into his gut foot first. Even though it shouldn't have hurt so much since they didn't have the rest of her body weight behind them, she compensated for that by making them build up speed before impact.

'That's gotta hurt. A double-kick to the stomach.' Uraraka thought to herself with a wince as Sero doubled over, holding at his stomach.

"It's over." Todoroki said as he saw that while one of her arms had been dodged, the other was in a perfect position to end this.

"And," Tokage started as her body started to come back together just as her arm came down and hammered right into the side of Sero's head, cleaning his clock and knocking him out. "Light outs buddy!" She finished as her arm re-joined her and she bowed to the cheering crowd.

'So fast…' Iida thought to himself, amazed that she was able to take out their classmate so quickly.

"Sero is down!" Midnight announced as the medical bots came in and took Sero to the medical boy. "Tokage advances!" Tokage gave a double peace sign and smile as she walked on back to her class's seats.

"Man, with that quick victory, Tokage gets herself a spot in the quarter-finals! Looks like 1-B got some payback for the last match." Present Mic said as he leaned back into his chair.

"Tokage is one of my smartest students, this kind of thing is what I expect from her." Vlad informed the crowd as he had a somewhat proud grin, he was hard to please. No wonder he and Eraser got along so well.

"Man oh man looks like Eraser's kids are gonna have to pick up the pace!" Present Mic joked as he could feel that his friend not only didn't appreciate the jab but was most likely already thinking of even harder trials to put his class through.

"Don't start with your nonsense now, let them focus on the games, not their classes." Vlad also didn't appreciate his humor and shot that suggestion down hard.

"Holy, she took him out in like 5 seconds!" One of the people in the crowd said, still awed by her performance.

"That guy didn't stand a chance…" Another said with a frown, that was so one-sided.

"It was a shame her quirk was just too good." One of the pros seated stated.

"Yeah, she girl has a very useful quirk, that's for sure." Another one agreed with him as more and more started to discuss this new development.

"Think she'll want to work at your agency?"

"She's a recommendations student, chances are she'll take an offer from only the top ten."

(With the students)

"Poor guy didn't know what he was in for." Kaibara said as he shook his head, even those in 1-B could feel pity for Sero.

"Tokage really strong, she is gooder in class." Tsunotori said in her broken Japanese, not knowing the error she made till Honenuki pointed it out.

"You mean she's one of the better ones in class." The pale-skinned boy asked her.

"Yes!" She quickly responded with a blush as she still was having trouble with the language, it already had led to some embarrassing situations in the past she rather not talk about.

"So she's a recommendations student as well?" Jiro asked the girl next to her.

"Yes, alongside myself and Todoroki, she along with Honenuki were admitted through recommendation." Yaoyorozu explained this to her class.

"No wonder they placed in the top five, man if they're as strong as you two, we don't have much chance." Kaminari moaned as he held his head but was knocked out of it by Shoji.

"Oh, do I hear you giving up? It's not too bad, class 1-B is the superior group between-arg!" Monoma started as he poked his head over the dividing wall was stopped when Kendo gave him a chop to the back of the neck, knocking him out before she picked him up like a sack of potatoes and threw him over her shoulder.

"Sorry about him, his manners needs some work." Kendo apologized with a small smile.

"No harm done, we got our issue right over there." Midoriya answered as he pointed towards a certain pervert in the middle of the group.

"Hey!" Mineta yelled back.

"Don't think I don't know who tricked the girls Mineta. You and Kaminari are going to get your dues right after this so don't even try running!" Midoriya yelled back with a fire in his eyes that let both know they were so screwed.

"It was a prank!" Mineta tried to defend him but Ojiro grabbed onto him before he could do something stupid.

"It was also your last strike with me ballsy!"

"Speaking of coming events," Shouda started before he turned to face Kendo. "Don't you have a match coming up?"

"Oh yes, I do." Kendo said with a smile before she dumped Monoma onto one of the chairs and quickly left to get to a waiting room. "Wish me luck!"

"You know it!" Awase replied before he turned to Shiozaki. "Who's she fighting again?"

"The support student, Hatsume I believe." Shiozaki answered him as she started to pray for her classmate's victory.

"So she's gonna be as dangerous as Midoriya?" Kamikiri asked with a smirk as he wanted to fight in this but alas, his team didn't make the cut.

"I doubt it, Midoriya is in the hero course and as such, as combat-oriented training, she does not. But she many surprises us." Rin said as he couldn't see the support girl being that hard to beat. It was a combat setting and they were the ones trained for such. It would be quite an upset if Kendo lost.

"Worried about your match?" Midoriya asked Tokoyami who like always, was being quiet and thinking.

"I can't say I feel complete confidence as I've seen what my counterpart is capable of. I can try my best and nothing more." Tokoyami answered with his eyes still closed. His mind was lost in thought as he prepared for his match-up.

And I think that's where I'll end things. How did you all like the Tetsutetsu-Midoriya fight? I hope it was up to par with what I'm been aiming for. If you're wondering how a hammer, my little brother told me about the new TNMT turtles and how Donny modified his staff to have a rocket on the end for increased force, I'm pretty sure he said he can even fly short distances with it. So since Donny is one of the characters Midoriya emulates in the same fashion, I thought it'll be a good match. As to the how the staff was made partly from the same material as the full gauntlet Melissa gave Midoriya in the movie. I say partly because the staff itself is the prototype to the prototype is it isn't as strong, as proven when Tetsutetsu strike manages to make it bend. As for the German Suplex, I was watching some old WWE matches on YouTube and saw one where Kurt Angle went up against Brock Lesnar and it was funny as hell to see the 'Beast' being thrown around by someone else via suplexes, someone that even then was smaller than him.

Sorry about Sero but when you think about it, he had no chance since Tokage has been noted to be one of the, if not the best hero student in 1-B and like Todoroki and Yaoyorozu, is a recommendations student so she must have some worth as a potential hero.

I hope you all have a good weekend, I'll see you all next time.
