"Welcome back everyone!" Midnight calls out loudly. "The break is over and now we can get to the most important part of the Sports Festival! 1v1 Battles!"
Nariko leans over the railing, limp arms hanging over it as she sighs in boredom. "Finally."
"It's simple! The battles were randomly selected for round one. The second round is the winners of the first round against each other. The third round is the same with the second round winners instead. Finally, the last round determines who becomes the winner! A winner is determined if the opponent is unable to fight, is knocked out of bounds, or passes out! Cementoss and I will be supervising all fights! Anyone who cheats or is trying to purposely harm their opponent is immediately disqualified!" Midnight continues confidently. Nariko rolls her eyes before turning to give her cousin a pout.
"This is going to be so boring, Han!" She whines slightly, making Hanta roll his eyes.
"You say that about every fight that has rules, Riri," Hanta points out while bringing his hands behind his head. Nariko makes a small noise and gives the black haired teenager a glare.
"Fighting dirty is fighting smart, Han. You know this!" The yellow haired teenager exclaims loudly. Hanta laughs and rolls his eyes before leaning back.
"Sure, sure, whatever you say." He gives a lazy wave, making Nariko pout even more.
"...isn't fighting dirty, cheating?" Izuku asks with a head tilt.
Nariko snorts before turning back to give him a small grin. "Not if it don't break any rules."
"Here's the first round bracket!" Midnight flicks her whip towards the hologram screen. Nariko turns back around to see the battles.
Round 1:
Asui Tsuyu V. Midoriya Izuku
Jirō Kyōka V. Todoroki Shōto
Yaoyorozu Momo V. Bakugō Katsuki
Kaminari Nariko V. Shinsō Hitoshi
Hagakure Tōru V. Ashido Mina
Uraraka Ochako V. Hatsume Mei
Sero Hanta V. Shōji Mezō
Kirishima Eijirō V. Iida Tenya
"HA! FUCKIN' KNEW IT!" Nariko shouts with a fist pump in the air. She raises herself higher with the railing before pointing a finger towards the general studies viewing area. She easily holds herself up with one arm.
"Shinsō-kun, you better pull out all your tricks 'n' shit! I ain't gonna hold back bonito!" Nariko declares loudly.
"Shut it! I'm not done talking yet!" Midnight shouts with a scowl. Nariko quickly hides her flinch and gets down from the railing. She feels her ears burn bright red and averts her gaze to her shoes.
"All fights will begin on my signal. Will the first fight contestants please come down!" The superheroine snaps her whip down.
Nariko glances back and forces a grin on her face. "I hafta root for my girl Tsu-chan, but good luck Midoriya-kun!"
"Th-thanks Kaminari-kun..." Izuku says nervously as he shakily stands up. Nariko gives him a thumbs up before waving at a slight nervous Tsuyu.
"Hey, Dumbass Pikachu. Get the fuck back here. You're blocking the fuckin' view," Katsuki states in a gruff, but surprisingly calm voice. Nariko rolls her eyes and leans back to stare at him upside down.
"Only if you say please~" She says with a teasing smile. Katsuki glowers at her before crossing his arms with a growl. Nariko giggles and shrugs, facing forward again.
"Too bad. This spot's super comfy." Nariko hangs her arms over the railing again. She sighs when she feels her phone vibrate. She takes out her phone and checks her notifications.
One new message: XXX-XXX-XXXX
"There's still stones at the park. By the north swing."
Nariko scrambles backwards, cussing under her breath. Shit. Fucking shit!
"Riri?! What's wrong?" Hanta makes the move to stand up, but Nariko just shoves him back in his seat as she passes by.
"Nothing. Be right back," Nariko says before sprinting out of the viewing area. She glances back at outside, figuring out where the sun was.
"That way!" The yellow haired teenager turns left and sprints down the hallway with all her might. She dodges by a few people walking back to their viewing areas or to their seats, easily twirling around them without shoving past.
"Idiots! All of them!" Nariko snarls internally, sliding to a stop when she reaches another hallway. She almost falls backwards from the sudden stop before sprinting down the new hallway.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!" Nariko curses repeatedly as she sprints even faster. She stumbles forward and slams her head into the ground when she suddenly stops. She lands with a loud groan and quickly gets back up.
Nariko slams into the janitor closet she stopped in front of and quickly shuts it behind her. She takes out her phone and quickly takes a deep breath and closes her eyes.
Electricity crackles around her, the air becoming thick with ozone. She takes in multiple deep breaths, calming her mind. She expands her sense and furrows her eyebrows at the overwhelming presence of every electric field around her.
Nariko pushes through the sudden overload of information and expands her sense even more. Blood starts to drip from her nose as she searches for a specific electric field.
"It's somewhere. It has to be somewhere. Where is it? Fuck!" Nariko takes in another deep breath and searches around the entire stadium faster. She gasps while snapping her eyes wide open.
There were five bombs in a five-point star pattern. They were being set up now.
"Shit!" Nariko stumbles out of the janitor closet, groaning slightly when her body collapses to the ground. Shit.
Nariko forces herself to stand back up, a hand under her heavy nosebleed. Now was not the time, she needed to deactivate those bombs before this fucking bullshit event was ruined. She needed to hurry.
Denki narrows his eyes when he sees the bright yellow hair of his twin sister suddenly disappear from her class's viewing area. He frowns slightly and leans forward. What happened?
"Kiki? What's wrong?" Yasu asks worriedly, tugging on Denki's hospital gown. He quickly snaps out of his thoughts and gives his younger cousin a bright grin.
"Nothing! I'm pretty sure Nariko's about to do something stupid." Yasu snorts with an eye roll.
"Of course she's about to do something stupid. She's Riri!" Xe exclaims, making Denki snort as well. The hospital door opens, grabbing the attention of Yasu.
Xe tilts xyr head in confusion and frowns. "Who're you?"
Denki turns around and freezes with wide eyes. He pales slightly and he moves his wheelchair in front of Yasu.
"What are you doing here?" The sickly teenager asks with a snarl. Yasu tenses slightly and grabs his hospital gown in slight fear.
"Kiki, are they bad? Should I call Papá?" Xe asks worriedly in Spanish. Denki nods his head, glaring heavily at the person who entered his hospital room.
"Now, now, Denki-kun! That's no way to speak to an adult," A woman in a crisp business suit answers with a sickly sweet smile. Denki just sneers at her before spitting on the floor in front of her feet.
"That any better, bitch?"
The smile disappears from the woman's face. "Now, Denki-kun... you really shouldn't push your luck. I need to ask Yasu a few questions, in private. Would you be a dear and leave her and I alone?"
"If you misgender my cousin again, I'll have this IV stand shoved up your ass, privately."
Hey! Hope you all like the new chapter! I wonder who this new woman is... I really do... lol.
Also, I will mention that Nariko has no fucking idea how to deactivate a bomb. That's gonna be a fun chapter to write.
Hope you all are enjoying the story so far! Bye!
