Chapter 15

"Oh, jeez, I wonder how this fight is gonna go," Izuku said monotonously as Kaibara and Todoroki walked into the arena.

"I'm sure this Kaibara guy will find a way to defeat Shoto 'Glacier-Making' Todoroki," Kurono commented in an equally monotone voice.

"Surely, the upcoming battle we are about to witness will be one that will be spoken of for generations to come," Reiko stated, also in a monotone voice. However, one would be forgiven for not noticing a difference between Reiko's regular voice and her monotone voice, as they are essentially the same thing.

"Well fuck you too!" Monoma yelled from over his wall.

"Be fair, Monoma, what are the chances that Kaibara will win this match?" Tokoyami asked.

"…Less than zero," Monoma muttered, "But it's not my fault your class got all the overpowered people! Seriously, you have-," Unfortunately for Monoma, a vine wrapped around his neck, stopping him from his rant.

"Oh, you poor misguided lamb. I must punish you for being such a sinner," Shiozaki said, dragging Monoma away as he screamed via her vines. 1-A were silent for a moment.

"Truly, your taste in girls is undefeated, Kurono. You really know how to pick them," Kendo said sarcastically. Kurono had turned pale after realizing the possible mistake he'd made.

"I-I'm not a sinner…right?" He asked, looking at Izuku. Izuku just smirked.

"Let's see, you like flirting with girls, you swear a lot, you once threw a bible into a lake and joked about it being 'holy water', you don't believe in god, you use the Lord's name in vain often, you're definitely some kind of kleptomaniac and you mastered lying before you were 10. Apart from that? No, you're not a sinner," Izuku listed off, with Kurono wincing at every statement. He then turned to Momo.

"Yaoyorozu, can you make me a new soul, preferably free of…everything Izuku just mentioned?" Kurono asked.

"I'm afraid that is impossible," She replied coolly.

"The match is about to start," Tokoyami commented. Everyone turned their attention to the battle that was about to happen.

"And from Class 1-A, we have the cold, Antarctic powerhouse Shoto Todoroki!" Present Mic exclaimed as Todoroki walked onto stage, the crowd roaring at his appearance.

"And from Class 1-B, his quirk might not be flashy, and he might not stand out that much, but that's no reason to brush off Sen Kaibara!" There were significantly less cheers for Kaibara than Todoroki, and Izuku felt a pang of sadness for Kaibara.

"This is…kind of unfair, isn't it?" Izuku started, attracting some confused looks.

"Didn't we just go over this?" Tokoyami asked, prompting Izuku to shake his head.

"No, no! As in popularity! Just because 1-A got attacked by villains, everyone is watching them, and barely any attention gets shown to the other classes," Izuku explained.

"I suppose you're right, Midoriya, but what can we do about it?" Momo replied. Izuku sighed.

"I don't know…" He said.

"Let the match begin!" Midnight shouted. Kaibara instantly started gyrating his legs, giving him a massive speed boost. He was right in front of Todoroki when suddenly an iceberg erupted from his feet, causing a stunned silence to fall upon the crowd.

"Isn't…that a bit much?" Present Mic whispered. Izuku was inclined to agree with him. The entire right side of the stadium was shadowed by the gigantic iceberg, and some people were starting to shiver.

"…Is Kaibara alive?" Kendo asked, "HEY, MONOMA! IS KAIBARA ALIVE?" Monoma peeked over the divider between their classes.

"Good question!" Monoma replied.

"Kaibara, can you move?" Midnight asked, her voice amplified thanks to the mic she was wearing.

"N-No," Kaibara grunted. Everyone let out a sigh of relief that Kaibara had not just been murdered on national television. Midnight cracked her whip, which Izuku was starting to realize was something she did a lot. Meh, maybe the author ran out of words to describe the sound it makes when she uses her whip…woah, that was a weird thought.

"Kaibara cannot move, and thus forfeits! Todoroki moves onto the next round!" She announced. A chorus of shouts went around the stadium, and it took Izuku a moment to realize they were saying 'nice try'. Jeez, being Kaibara right now must be nothing but pain. First, he loses almost immediately against Todoroki, and then the entire crowd starts pitying him.

It is kind of funny, though, and it causes Izuku to start laughing. Unfortunately, this means he doesn't hear the sound of footsteps, and he jumps a meter in the air when someone flicks the top of his head.

"Oi, you're Midoriya Izuku, right?" A tired voice asked. Izuku turned around and saw that it belonged to Mitsudo, who was still covered in glitter.

"Uh, yeah?" Izuku replied.

"Good. Can you get this glitter off of me? I heard somewhere that your quirk lets you just reset whatever you touch, so can you do me a favor and get rid of it?" Mitsudo explained. Izuku hummed.

"Sure! I don't see any reason to not do it!" Izuku replied. And with a quick overhaul, Mitsudo was good as new. He gave his outfit a look over before nodding and stretching.

"I have really bad luck when it comes to getting stuff on me. This year it was your friend," Mitsudo said, glaring at Kurono, "And last year it was the 10 billion IQ girl.

"THE BRITISH NEVER LOSE!" Saiko Intelli yelled, throwing a cup of tea at Mitsudo. He simply took the blow, trying to ignore the scalding hot liquid and instead just stared at Saiko.

"What about during the American Revolution?" He asked painfully.

"Doesn't count, Americans aren't real people," Saiko replied, looking to her left. There was a thick silence between the two.

"You are a fucking lunatic," Mitsudo stated.

"Anyways, that's all I wanted. See you," Mitsudo waved before leaving.

"Huh, he really is kind of similar to Aizawa-Sensei," Kendo pointed out.

"Anyways, we're gonna have a short break to remove all this ice, sorry about that!" Present Mic announced. Reiko stretched a bit before standing up.

"I must prepare myself for my battle. I shall return here once more when it is over," She stated. With little extra thought, Izuku also stood up.

"Oh, I'll come down with you! I might be able to help somehow!" Izuku said. To his confusion, Reiko looked away suddenly after he said that. Had he said something wrong?

"That…would be appreciated, Izuku," She replied. Izuku mentally breathed a sigh of relief before he began following her. They walked in silence, but it was a nice silence, in a way, as if just being in each other's company alone was enough to satisfy them.

"So, you're up against Tsuburaba from 1-B, right?" Izuku asked, which somehow startled Reiko.

"I…yes, that is my opponent," She replied hesitantly. Now Izuku was getting worried. Reiko was acting really weird now, and he had no idea why. Had he done anything to her? Nothing from memory. So, what was it? He furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance.

"Is everything ok, Reiko? You're kind of acting weird," Izuku asked. He wasn't going to beat around the bush here when it was quicker and easier to just ask. Reiko's face paled even more than it usually was, making her almost ghost-like in appearance.

"H-How so?" She asked, not meeting Izuku's eyes.

"Well, you're acting kind of jumpy, and you're not making eye contact…" Izuku explained. Reiko blushed slightly and begun spluttering out a response.

"Well, you see- the reason for that is- I, the thing that-," Suddenly, Izuku snapped his fingers.

"Of course! You're nervous, aren't you?" He exclaimed, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Reiko sighed in relief now that she had a plausible excuse.

"I…yes, that is the exact problem that has been plaquing my mind as of late," Reiko replied. Izuku smiled.

"Reiko, you'll do great! Telekinesis is a super powerful ability, even at your current level! And anyways, this fight is clearly in your favour!" Izuku said, starting to get himself excited from his own words of encouragement. Reiko, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow.

"If I may ask, how is the upcoming battle looking to be in my favour?" She asked. Izuku practically beamed as he began explaining one of his favourite topics: quirks.

"WellTsuburabahasaquirkthatletshimbreatheoutsolidairwhichIsawactsasasolidobjectasagenedstudentranrightinto-," Reiko used her quirk to force Izuku's jaws shut, and he blushed profusely.

"Could you perhaps explain that, but in a way an imbecile such as myself could understand?" Reiko pleaded. Izuku smiled sheepishly.

"Y-You're not dumb, Reiko! But my rants are kind of difficult to follow along with, so I'll try and condense it," He replied. And when Reiko heard what he was thinking, a look of surprise and confidence crossed her face.

"So, you're saying I could win this?" She asked. Izuku scoffed.

"You could win? No, you will win! So go get that son of a bitch!" Izuku cheered. Impulsively, Reiko hugged him.

"Eek! I-I mean, huh?" Izuku quickly amended as he began to evolve into a tomato. Similarly, Reiko was also turning red.

"Um, t-thank you, for the advice and support, Izuku. I do not believe I can ever pay you back for the number of times you have helped me," Reiko muttered, looking to the left. Izuku just laughed.

"It's fine! You're paying me back by simply sticking around me!" Izuku replied, making Reiko blush even more.

"I-If you say so…" She spoke. She then let go of the hug, which Izuku was sad about for a reason he couldn't quite explain, and she turned around.

"I suppose I should head to the exit. I assure you, I will win this round, Izuku," Reiko stated. Izuku smiled.

"I believe in you, Reiko!" And with that, the two separated, each with a smile on their faces.

Itsuka yawned as she walked down the stadium hallway. Of course, she had lost that stupid bet Kurono made, and now she has to go get drinks for everyone. If it was just Momo, it would have been fine, but noo, Kurono has to exist in every situation apparently. Well, at least going for a walk would let her plan for her battle against the copycat, Monoma.

Or, at least, she would have been able to plan for it if a distraction in the form of the number 2 hero, Endeavour, didn't appear. She stumbled backwards as the gargantuan man rounded the corner. For some reason, something didn't feel right about the guy right now. He looked like how he did on TV and merch – angry and annoyed – but he radiated an aura of…hatred, Kendo wanted to say, but surely that was just her overreacting, right?

"There you are," Endeavour stated calmly, which sent chills down Kendo's spine. He'd been looking for her, "Your performance has been impressive so far, and your quirk is powerful. In fact, it reminds me of All Might's quirk a little…" now that really worried Kendo. Had Endeavour somehow connected the dots? …No, the odds of that were way too low with the evidence presented.

"So what of it?" Kendo prompted, standing her ground even as her body practically screamed at her to leave, excuse herself, anything to get away from the situation. Endeavour's eyes narrowed.

"It is Shoto's destiny to surpass All Might. You better make it to the last round so I can see just how far Shoto has to go," Kendo went pale at that statement. The way Endeavour said that…it didn't sound like a supportive father at all. If anything, it sounded more like some kind of manager for a child actor. A wave of confidence came across her, and she hardened her face.

"Do you even care about your son?" Kendo asked, trying to not flinch under Endeavour's heavy glare.

"Of course I-,"

"As a child, or as some kind of pawn to further your own dreams and ambitions?" Kendo butted in, and she took immense pride in the shift of Endeavour's face from just angry and annoyed to slightly shocked. She stepped aside and walked past Endeavour.

"You'll never go far if you disrespect everyone, girl," Endeavour growled. Kendo simply glanced back.

"I see no reason why I wouldn't. After all, you're an asshole and you made it to number 2," And with that, Kendo went her own way, leaving Endeavour shocked and pissed off. Was it a dumb idea to insult the number 2 hero? Probably. Did she regret it at all? Nope, and she doubted she would ever regret it in the future.

When Izuku got back to the stands, he took a seat next to Kurono and was pleased to see that the ice had melted. Considering it had only been 10 minutes, that was pretty impressive. Had Endeavour helped out or something? No, probably not, he's not that kind of Hero.

"Thank you for waiting, and give a warm welcome to these guys!" Present Mic exclaimed, causing a resurgence of cheers from the crowd as the two competitors walked into the arena. Izuku smiled when he saw Reiko, and when she looked over at them, he waved.

"Whipped," Kurono teased, which Izuku responded to by elbowing him in the face, "GAH! You dick!" Izuku smiled a little at that and continued listening to Present Mic.

"She's got that ghostly look which goes well with her telekinesis, but she's got that unshakable creepiness about her! From the hero course, it's Reiko Yanagi!" Izuku grimaced at that introduction. That was kind of rude, wasn't it? Or was that a good thing? Actually, Izuku figured he should stop thinking about this before he started cancelling people on twitter for something they said 10 years ago.

"Versus- landing in the 30s during the 1st round, then placing 3rd in the 2nd round, he's basic, and his power isn't that flashy! Also from the Hero Course, it's Kosei Tsuburaba!" Oh, so maybe everyone got a kind of rude introduction. Well, it was good at attracting Izuku's attention, so maybe it was purposely rude to catch the eyes of Pro Heroes.

"Ok, aaand…START!" Present Mic yelled. The mics turned on, so now people could hear what they were saying.

"I'm not gonna go easy on you, just so you know!" Tsuburaba exclaimed as he ran towards Reiko.

"Yes, that is generally what I would expect from most competitors," Reiko replied obliviously. Tsuburaba took a deep breath in and once he was in front of Reiko he exhaled before going in for a low kick. Unfortunately for him, he suddenly smacked right into something, which knocked him back onto his ass. Izuku cheered, as he realized his hypothesis was correct.

"Oh, has Yanagi used her quirk to use Tsuburaba's Solid Air against him?!" Present Mic questioned. And indeed, in the air in front of Reiko a pink circle outlined the solid air that Tsuburaba had created.

"Ah," Tsuburaba muttered as Reiko slammed the Solid Air into the ground to make more fragments and then proceeded to pelt Tsuburaba with them.

"Yield, you knave!" Reiko ordered as Tsuburaba tried to cover himself. Unintelligently, Tsuburaba decided to make a wall of solid air behind him to try and escape. However, his face paled as he realized what he had done, and before he knew it, he was getting pelted by even more items.

"I command you to yield at once, you loathsome combatant!" Reiko demanded once more, which sent laughs across the stadium.

"Uh, geez, this is kind of depressing for Tsuburaba…at least Kaibara had a quick loss," Present Mic said. Meanwhile, in the stands, Izuku and Kurono were laughing their asses off on the floor, having fallen off a while ago, while everyone else mostly chuckled.

"O-Oh! Izuku! W-Was that your idea?!" Kurono gasped through his laughs, which made Izuku laugh even harder.

"Yeah! I-It was – haha! – a theory, b-but it still worked!" He replied barely.

"Alright, alright, I forfeit, just stop hitting me!" Tsuburaba cried, which made Izuku and Kurono laugh even more, and Izuku swore his ears were deceiving him because he thought he could hear 1-B laughing as well. True to her word, Reiko stopped pelting Tsuburaba and even extended a hand to him, which he gratefully accepted.

"W-Well there you have it folks! Tsuburaba forfeits, meaning Yanagi moves onto the next round!" Present Mic spluttered, "Yanagi sure had a great plan there, didn't she Eraser?" Aizawa groaned as he realized he had to reply to Present Mic, "It was a logical choice, and frankly I would have been disappointed if she didn't do that. Yanagi's quirk relies heavily on her environment, so she should be good at recognizing opportunities," Aizawa commentated, which Izuku figured was both in character for Aizawa and a fair assessment. Truth be told, if Reiko had gone against someone like Kaibara then the fight would have been flipped on its head from the start.

"Well…that was interesting," Momo stated. Izuku grinned.

"It was more than interesting, it was awesome!" He beamed.

"Would you shut up about your damn girlfriend, Broccoli," Bakugou snarled, which caught Izuku off guard.

"Huh? W-we aren't dating!" He defended.

"Yet," Kurono added. Izuku glared at him, which was enough for him to whisper out "I'll be good,". Well, at least he was half decent at being intimidating. It wasn't much longer until Reiko came back to the stands, and Izuku could tell she was just barely keeping a grin off of her face.

"Your hypothesis worked marvellously, Izuku. I only wish I did not have to rely on your intellect," She added bitterly. Izuku suddenly remembered what Nedzu said to Izuku back when they talked ages ago. About how it's alright to rely on others for help. He mentally noted that he should get him some tea as a thank you.

"There's nothing wrong with being helped by other people, and it's not like you didn't do anything at all. Hell, sometimes I ask Kurono for help-,"

"And sometimes I help without asking," Kurono butted in. Izuku smiled.

"So don't beat yourself up about it. And anyways, you're going up against Yaoyorozu next, and you'll have a way easier time beating her because you already know her! Oh…er, no offence, Yaoyorozu," Izuku added, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. Momo just chuckled, "It's fine, Midoriya. For what it's worth, I have no intentions of losing to Yanagi either," She replied. Reiko hummed.

"I guess that makes sense…" She muttered, which Izuku took as a win, "In any case, I suppose we should prepare to watch Momo decimate Kaminari-Kin, shouldn't we?" Izuku saw Kaminari do a double take at hearing that.

"Hey! I'll totally win!" He shouted before he realized what he said, "Ah…sorry, Yaoyorozu-San," He added, an apologetic grin on his face. At this point, Momo just sighed.

"It's fine, Kaminari-Kun. Anyways, I'm going to get ready, wish me luck," she said before standing up and walking away. After wishing her luck and a few moments of her gone, they were in silence.

"She's gonna beat his ass," Kendo stated.

"Yep,"

"Obviously,"

"It has already been foretold,"

"Kaminari-Kun's bloodline was cursed far before this Sports Festival even occurred,"

Kai watched the screen in boredom.

He could practically feel his mind begin to rot away as the next set of commercials started, and Shigaraki seemed to be of the same opinion, which was probably one of the few times they agreed on something. And as much as Kai wanted to go back to planning the Nomu, he'd hit a…a science block, he supposed one could call it, and he just couldn't look at his damn notebooks for more than a damn moment before he wanted to just destroy it all. Perhaps he's return to the idea of the High-End Nomu sometime in the future. It's not like he didn't have other things to do anyways.

"Kai," Kai almost jumped when he heard Sensei over the speaker, and he felt a chill run down his spine like always when the demon king of the underworld spoke to him, "I would like to have a discussion, just the two of us, if you'd mind," Kai could almost feel himself shaking as he looked up at Kurogiri.

"Kurogiri, warp gate," He stated, trying to move past his absolute fear of All for One. Naturally, Kurogiri obliged, and next thing he knew Kai was standing behind All for One, who was hooked up to all manner of life supports. Kai made sure not to get too close to the Symbol of Evil just in case he was in a bad mood.

"You wanted to speak with me, sir?" Kai asked, looking at Sensei's reflection in the multiple screens to attempt to gauge his mood. If he was in a bad mood, he wasn't showing it, which didn't do much to soothe the tension that Kai was practically choking on due to it being so thick in the air.

"I was hoping to, yes, specifically about your progress on the High-End Nomu," Sensei replied. Kai stiffened ever so slightly and prayed to himself that he wouldn't be annoyed that there'd been a roadblock stopping him from progressing the project. It was strange, really. Kai had never once been so afraid of anyone else in his life, probably because any problem could just be destroyed in an instant. But with Sensei…well, he wasn't some stain that you could just wipe out of existence, not even close, and that really terrified Kai. To know that this was one of the rare people he couldn't beat with his quirk alone.

"There was a…roadblock, of sorts," Kai explained. At Sensei's silence, he decided to continue, "The process that creates Nomu basically rips apart their brain and destroys anything that could even suggest an ounce of sentience. And it's not something optional either, if you want to make a Nomu, you have to ruin its brain. So, until I can find a way to not cause that, I'm basically stuck," Sensei hummed, and Kai watched as he picked up a notebook and began flipping through it. He swore he caught what looked like a photograph for a moment before Sensei closed it.

"You know, Kai, if it were not for Tomura, you would have been my preferred successor," he said casually, which actually shocked Kai for once.

"…Is that so…" He replied slowly, unsure, and nervous of where this conversation was going. He saw Sensei's reflection grin his standard grin, a grin that promised everything and gave nothing, but yet still managed to convince so many people, Kai included.

"Oh, don't act so surprised, you're an obvious pick. Your quirk is stronger than Tomura's, you display a greater knack for elaborate plans, and your intelligence is remarkable for this generation. Why, when I decided to hand the reigns over to you for one of my business fronts, you were able to increase the profits of the front so much that it became more profitable than the business it was harbouring!" Sensei listed off. Kai would be lying if he said hearing all his achievements didn't bring a sense of pride and determination to improve even further to him.

"Thank you, sir. Running a business is something my family was born to do," Kai replied politely, bowing slightly. He would also be lying if he said he didn't feel less than grand when he bowed to someone else. In fact, he hated it. Hated the feeling of being under someone. But his logical mind reminded him of the many benefits of serving his liege, and he quickly brushed off his more prideful mind.

"Ah, it truly is sad how they treated you. You would have been the perfect successor to their corporate empire, but they cast you aside and went as far as to pretend you were never their son simply because you had ideals that others would consider extreme, or out of line. But I suppose that's their loss, is it not?" Kai narrowed his eyes at the mention of his old family, and his hands itched to end them. But that could wait for another day. He'd wait until he could have a truly grand revenge.

"Well, I have no other things I wish to talk of. Would you like to return to the bar, or perhaps visit the Doctor?" Sensei asked. Kai was about to say, 'the bar', but then he remembered the High-End Project, and before he knew it, he was saying "The Doctor,", and a warp gate later and he was there. He stretched before going over to the Doctor's computer. Maybe this time he'd make a breakthrough in the case.

"That was depressing," Izuku deadpanned as Kaminari was taken out of the arena by the robots.

"Most of these matches have been," Tokoyami replied. Kendo chuckled.

"Well, this next match is either gonna be really depressing or insanely funny," She stated. Kurono was stretching as he stood up, and grimaced when he heard Kendo's words.

"Ugh, don't remind me. I'm facing boom bitch, arguably the worst for advertising my products. Why couldn't I just get Izuku?" He moaned as he put his mask back on. Izuku grinned.

"Look on the bright side! You might end up embarrassing him!" He exclaimed.

"Oh, great! Because I definitely need another guy trying to kill me for doing something stupid! I've got one already, and that's one too many as it is!" Kurono yelled before he walked off. Izuku sighed.

"He'll be fine," He muttered.

"For some reason, I find it particularly difficult to believe this statement in any way. The phrase 'Is fighting Bakugou,' would not end in a particularly agreeable way for the person that finds themselves against Bakugou. Except perhaps yourself or Kendo," Reiko added hastily, which just made Izuku laugh.

"Trust me, Kurono's a master of bullshit, he'll be fine," Izuku replied. A couple minutes later, the two walked onto the stage, and Present Mic's Commentary started again.

"For the first time in 5 years, we have someone from the Design part of the Support Course in round 3! He's stylish, he likes bombs, and you guys seem to actually like him more than a decent amount of the Hero Course for some reason, it's Class 1-F's Hari Kurono!"

"Wait, his last name is Kurono?" Momo asked.

"Well, yeah?" Izuku replied.

"I was under the impression his name was Kurono Stasis," Reiko muttered, which made Izuku snort.

"Nah, that's his quirk name. Or, well, kind of. It's technically called Chronostasis, but Kurono and Chrono sound basically the same so…I'm gonna shut up now," Izuku trailed off.

"And on the other end, we've got our snarling Pomeranian! He's loud, he's bold, and he's not afraid to get rough! It's Class 1-A's Katsuki Bakugou!" Izuku was surprised to hear less cheers for Bakugou, which was unexpected because, well, it's Bakugou. He has a flashy quirk and is insanely skilled, you'd expect people to like him. But it seemed that most people judged based on personality. And wasn't that a relief to Izuku?

"Ready? Staart!" Present Mic announced. Even though Kurono's face was blocked, Izuku could tell he was smirking.

"Support companies! I hope you're watching, because this-," An explosion cut Kurono off, and he barely rolled out of Bakugou's path. This was the unpredictable part of the equation. 1: how much of Kurono's bullshit would Bakugou put up with, and 2: what's going to happen when he's had enough of it? Izuku really hoped that Kurono finished his demonstrations and forfeited before those questions would be answered, otherwise Kurono was gonna be in a world of pain, "Straight to the practical, huh? I guess I can work with that as well," Kurono joked. Bakugou went for another attack, which Kurono dodged under, "As you can see, my design allows excellent agility! The fabric is elastic, allowing quick and precise dodging. And even if you fail to dodge, the fabric is also very protected by a fabric designed by myself and my peer Mei Hatsume! Using very complex mechanisms designed through sleepless nights, the fabric absorbs the blow and releases it, pushing back the attack!"

"Is he…advertising?" Kendo asked.

"This is about what I expected," Izuku said, grinning smugly.

"DIE!" Bakugou screamed, going in for a rare kick after flipping behind Kurono. When Bakugou's heel landed on Kurono's back, however, it got shot back by a couple inches, throwing Bakugou for a loop and making him fall over. That would definitely impress the support companies watching, without a doubt. Kurono patiently waited for Bakugou to get back up as he prepared himself.

"Although I can't really show you, the mask I am wearing has many useful abilities! Filtration, enhanced vision, and if an enemy gets up close to you, you can do some decent damage with the beak!" Kurono continued. At this point, Bakugou was already standing up and without a further second, he launched himself straight up in the air.

"I WASN'T GONNA FUCKING DO THIS, BUT NOW YOU'RE REALLY FUCKING PISSING ME OFF, CLOCK BITCH!" Bakugou yelled. For some reason Kurono seemed unphased by this. Instead, he merely turned to face the announcer's box.

"Well, it was nice knowing Kurono while he was alive," Kendo sighed, "Actually, I take that back, it was…average knowing Kurono," She amended, drawing a chuckle from Izuku.

"He's definitely got a plan. If he didn't, he'd be panicking right now," Izuku replied. Bakugou began continued rising until he aimed himself right at Kurono. Like a ballerina, he began spinning in the air before blasting down towards Kurono.

"HOWITZER…" Bakugou started as he was halfway down, "IMPA- AGH!" They couldn't see what had happened thanks to all the smoke, so the entire stadium was filled with tension as they waited to see what had thrown Bakugou so off for once. Slowly, painfully so, it cleared, revealing Bakugou holding his arm on the ground, which looked horribly broken. Behind him, Kurono stepped forward before turning around and pointing behind him with his thumb.

"Get a load of this fucking idiot," He joked, "What he just attacked was a gadget, made by Mei Hatsume, which creates a perfect illusion of someone! And by using light-refracting technology in my outfit, I was rendered invisible! Of course, there are some problems, the main one being it has a…is something wrong?" Kurono asked, as he looked over at Midnight, who was looking at Bakugou and saying something into an earpiece. He then froze and looked back and jumped as he realized the state Bakugou was in, "Oh shit, that looks bad. Uh, I think it's time to wrap this schtick up. Miss Midnight? I'm forfeiting, get Bakugou some medical attention, please?" And with that, the match was over.

"Jeez, Bakugou isn't looking too good there," Sero stated.

"Yeah! Is he even gonna be fine for his next round?" Kaminari added.

"Uhh…Kurono forfeits after that…battle…although really he kind of won in a way. Anyways, Bakugou moves onto the next round, but for now he'll be heading to Recovery Girl's clinic to get healed!" Present Mic announced. The crowd was audibly murmuring, and Izuku wasn't sure if they were supporting Kurono, Bakugou, or if it was neither and they were angry at the school for letting a kid get his arm fucked up. Either way, Izuku stood up.

"Where are you heading off to now, Izuku?" Reiko asked. Izuku sighed.

"I'm heading down to heal Bakugou. I can't leave him in that state without feeling like shit," He explained before he began making the journey to Recovery Girl's clinic. He was just hoping that Bakugou wouldn't be angry to see him.
