IZUKU SKIRT A WILD WIND
CHAPTER 18
AN: HERE IS FIGHT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE LAST CHAPTER.
UA SPORTS FESTIVAL
THIRD PERSON POV
Deciding that it was far too dangerous to let Ibara get a field advantage by spreading her quirk Pony ran full throttle towards her. Launching her horns she flew up standing on two of them with ease as she dodged Ibara ground attack that destroyed the stadium floor. Circling around she tried to find a hole in her vine wall defence, that is until Ibara started chucking chunks of concrete at her. Barely avoiding them in time Pony flew in swerving left and right, under and over, all till she was in kicking range of the pious vine girl. Doing a half flip so she could do a hand stand on her horn while spinning in order to deliver two back to back kicks.
"OOF THAT IS A STRONG KICK, AND TO BE EXPECTED FROM SOMEONE WITH A PHYSICAL MUTATION QUIRK LIKE HERS. HOWEVER SHIOZAKI IS NO SLOUCH GETTING MAXIMUM USE OUT OF HER QUIRK AND THE ARENA!" Present Mic said as they watched the fight continue on. Aizawa and Nezu both agreed with him how she was smart to claim centre field first and set up a defensive wall using her quirk.
Ibara however managed to block the first foot while the second sent her flying back into her vines, quickly lashing out at her opponent with her vines. This caused Pony to have to do another half flip to get her feet back on her two horns to kick away just in time earning only a grazing blow to her left side. Though this nearly caused her to crash face first into the arena wall, fortunately for her by switching to four horns she got control back.
Now that her hooves footed opponent was galloping through the air even faster than before. Ibara knew she had to get back to the middle of the ring before she was attacked again, once at the centre she got into a defensive stance. 'In order to protect Midoriya innocence I must not let her get near him… THAT MEANS WINNING!' Ibara thought something that only her amongst all the contestants would ever be thinking in this situation. Rather than trying to win for her sake, she was simply trying to eliminate any of those who had impure thoughts towards him. Except herself of course as she had yet to realize she was also feeling these same desires as them since she also saw him in the girls uniform.
"LOOKS LIKE THINGS ARE STARTING TO GET MORE INTENSE ERASERHEAD! WHO DO YOU THINK WILL COME OUT ON TOP?" Present Mic turned to and asked his friend knowing he would give a technical breakdown.
Aizawa looking at how they fought took into consideration both of their quirks and the drain on their stamina it was taking on them. "If Pony Tsunotori can find a way to push Ibara Shiozaki out of the middle of the ring then she has a good chance of ending this. However if Shiozaki manages to take her out of the sky, she will catch her and Tsunotori will lose. Unfortunately however if this keeps up eventual one or both will run out of stamina resulting in either a tie or a loss." He said keeping his opinion on who would drop first to himself. 'By the looks of it Shiozaki will last longer then Tsunotori in terms of stamina if Tsunotori does not do something to get a solid hit in.' Aizawa thought seeing how the vine user was preserving her stamina by not moving her body as much as possible.
The match dragged on as a cycle was set between the two with Ibara throwing chunks of concrete at Pony while she circles around Ibara. Whenever she would Pony would then move in for another attack to get blocked or deflected. The crowd was both unsure of who would win as well as some of them beginning to get bored watching this endless back and fourth. Unfortunately for Pony Aizawa prediction would prove to be right as she was beginning to get exhausted. To the point where the horse girl was beginning to see double and missing her kicks here and there. Ibara noticed this and decided that after a minute or two she could finish her off with the trap she has been setting this whole time.
Rushing in one last time to try and finish off the vine haired opponent who worn her down Pony did not see it coming. Ibara unleashed a field of vines from below slapping her out of the sky and dragging her through the ground, after slamming her hard into it. The impact and the physical exhaustion from the long fight finally took Pony down, knocking her out cold as she was hog tied in Ibara vines. Midnight declared Ibara the winner as the girl was picking up her opponent gently, carrying her to the nurses office along with Reiko walking beside her.
"UNFORTUNATELY FOR PONY TSUNOTORI SHE RAN OUT OF STEAM BEFORE RUNNING HER OPPONENT OUT OF THE RING! EVEN SO HER RUN THROUGHOUT THIS TOURNAMENT WAS MAJESTIC TO SAY THE LEAST!" Present Mic said despite not being her homeroom teacher was proud of her determination to keep trying to break through the vine wall like she did. Aizawa however was a tad disappointed that she did not think of another strategy but kick her opponent into submission. Nezu however was anxious for the last fight in the first round even if he did not show it on his adorable little face. 'Hopefully Young Bakugo fight will not get out of control like Young Midoriya or Young Jiro fight earlier. It was a good idea for me to put them on opposite ends of the brackets.' Nezu thought anticipating how much damage a fight between those two will cause.
After giving cementoss twenty minutes to fix the field, the next two ladies stepped up to the plate for their own fight. "ALL RIGHT PEOPLE FOR SECOND LAST ROUND OF THE PRELIMINARIES WE HAVW TWO FIESTY CONTESTANTS! FIRST REPRESENTING CLASS 1-A IS THE QUEEN WITH HER OWN QUEEN, THE MELTING MACHINE HERSELF MINA ASHIDO!" Present Mic declared not allowing her to forget the confession Hagakure made to her earlier that she gladly reciprocated. Mina walked out waving to the crowd, even going as far as telling Toru she will be waiting for her victory kiss after she wins. She had no intention of giving her teacher the satisfaction of being embarrassed which made him pouty as he did not get to her. Aizawa just gave a look saying 'What did you expect from a girl who is willing to fight in basically her underwear?'
With that the match kicked off with Mina who began spraying acid through the soles of her feet using it to skate around her opponent. Kendo however knew better due to her family martial training to not let her opponent get behind her in a fight. Pivoting on her left ankle she spun around to keep an eye on her opponent while keeping her hands up in a guarding position. Mina after witnessing the fight with Monoma knew better than to let her acid be turned against her once it mixes with the concrete. However Kendo struck first enlarging her hand and slamming her flattened out palms on the ground to make the ground shake a little. This caused Mina who was sliding around on her acid to trip, almost sliding off the edge of the ring.
'Like hell you can shake me off of you that easily!' Mina thought as she emitted highly potent acid from her finger tips. Doing this as she grabbed onto the edge of the ring created indents for her to grab onto for a brief second, spinning her herself back into the ring. Landing on her feet she spun quickly before pushing herself into the air landing on her feet. Kendo was shocked to see how Mina had managed to get herself back from the literal edge of this match, this lasted a few seconds. During those few seconds Mina had managed to close the gap significantly about to punch her opponent. Kendo however recovered and decided to fake her out thrusting one palm forward, while keeping the other hand hidden behind it shrunken.
The enlarged hand caused Mina to duck low and aim for her opponents stomach now instead of their face. Kendo however saw this coming and used her shrunken hand to grab the wrist of Mina punching hand slamming her wrist to the ground. Unfortunately for Mina Kendo had fractured it, due to the pain of this injury Kendo was able to throw her to the other side of the ring. However Mina managed to rip off a large piece of Kendo shirt were the martial artist breasts were. Kendo quickly covered her chest with her enlarged hand before realizing she could take off her shirt and wrap it just around her chest all be it with a small degree of embarrassment. Mina meanwhile was able to release her acid as she was skidding making a trench for her feet. As such she was able to lean forward and use her good hand wrapped in the piece of Kendo shirt to slow herself down.
'I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE TRIED TO FLASH MY BOOBS TO THE WHOLE WORLD!' Kendo thought glaring at her opponent who returned her glare.
'I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE TRIED TO BREAK MY WRIST LIKE THAT!' Mina thought choking back tears and a scream from the pain in her right wrist.
While the two were having similar thoughts to one another Mineta who cheered at the sight of Kendo boobs was promptly slapped by Tsuyu Asui as per usual.
"DAMN THESE GIRLS FIGHT DIRTY! I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW WHO IS WORST THE ONE WHO FOUGHT DIRTY IN A MIDNIGHT SORT OF WAY OR THE ONE WHO FOUGHT DIRTY IN AN ENDEAVOUR KIND OF WAY? OW!" Present Mic said getting punched on the head by Aizawa at the end for taking a shot at Endeavour. 'Just cause the man deserves it, doesn't mean we need you to piss off right now.' Aizawa thought not wanting to deal with the headache of an angry Endeavour. Nezu however agreed with both in different ways. For Aizawa, Nezu just like him also agreed with Present Mic how the number two hero was overly rough like that with even minor criminals. However unlike Aizawa he did not care if Endeavour had another tantrum as he was just done with the man at this point thanks to the lunch incident.
Back to the fight the two girls ran back at each other ready to duke it out with Mina keeping her fractured wrist now tightly wrapped up in that piece of Kendo clothes. Mina should have tried to attack from a distance with her acid but refused to back down from Kendo. So she coated her right hand in acid as she used acid from her feet to slide forward at incredible speeds. With her other hand injured Mina when in range of her opponent flipped forward landing on her hand. She then spun around on her hand to kick Kendo while still building up her acceleration at the same time. Kendo however simply enlarged one hand to block it, getting minor burns from Mina remaining acid on it. When she then tried to grab Mina leg Kendo missed as she jumped back immediately before going into a roundhouse kick. Kendo who tried to dodge it by crouching and going for a low sweep in an attempt to get Mina only foot on the ground off before the attack could be completed. However missing by just a tenth of an inch, Kendo was unable to stop the attack and get Mina in a vulnerable position as she had intended. This was because Mina had turned it into an axe kick just before Kendo tried to sweep her foot.
Kendo was unprepared to dodge this and had to enlarge her left hand to block it, resulting in Mina releasing a flood of acid from the bottom of her foot. "AAAAHHHHH!" Kendo screamed unable to hold it back cause she was focusing on keeping her hand enlarged. Though brief her scream lasted only a few seconds, during with she used the flattened out hand thrusting it upward and forward. Her aim was Mina throat, the pink skinned girl however used her opponent hand as a platform to jump back. Kendo chased after her of course, enlarging her right hand, which due to it being flat had become essentially a spear. It struck Mina in the throat unfortunately knocking her out and sending her sliding back to the other end of the arena. With that Kendo was declared the winner, even so she was frustrated that it was as close of a fight as it was. If Mina had gone all in with her acid quirk from the beginning then she knew she would have lost. The only reason Kendo won was because Mina decided to fight her at her own speciality rather theirs and Kendo knew this full well. 'Well dad… do you still prefer you had a son?' Kendo thought bitterly despite being declared the winner.
KENDO FAMILY DOJO
THIRD PERSON POV
Itsuka Kendo father was a proud and stubborn martial artist set in tradition, so like many others of his generation he felt martial arts were wasted on heroes. So when he saw his daughter on the UA sports festival broadcast he was originally happy as she had told him she went there for general education. Seeing other hero students get shown up by a martial artist was going to be a joyous thing for him. Though he had his doubts as his quirk he passed down to his daughter was nothing special and she was a girl. He believed that a women no matter how hard they trained would never be able to match up to a man in terms of physical capabilities. Even so he watched his daughters up coming turn with waited breath while sipping his green tea here and there.
Despite how honoured he was the principals as offering free seats to a general education student parent he politely declined. This was because he simply could not stand being surrounded by so many quote on quote heroes. So he rescheduled todays class and invited the students to come watch in the dojo with him and his wife. With about half helping him set up the television, small tables, and seating mats they were ready to watch just a few minutes before things began. The other half were helping his wife with the food so that way they would be ready in time to watch the action unfold.
When that green haired girl came up to the mic shaking he was surprised to find out she was the representative for the hero course. However he was impressed with their strength and ability to take a hit while still moving forward. At first he thought it was too bad she was a girl or else he would have considered them as a possible fiancé if they were a boy. Then after the first event ended he nearly had a heart attack to find out they were both a boy and were walking around in a dress. Despite finding out he was a boy however, the man could never allow his daughter to even befriend little lone date a complete wuss like that!
However he changed his mind when he saw the boy fighting and saw how he was able to quickly teach himself how to use someone else fighting style. He could tell how the boy was using someone else's cause the footing seemed to be sloppy at the beginning compared to the end. Also if it was his fighting style them he would have used his floor destroying strategy from the start instead of trying to dodge that glue gun. 'Maybe if I kick his ass into shape and teach him how to be a proper man then maybe…' he thought this over till his daughter fight came on.
When the long awaited fight came on… well to say he was furious was an understatement of the century to say the least. "SHE IS IN THE HERO COURSE!" He screamed at the top his lungs when they announced her entrance. His students were whispering behind him about how she gave up on being a martial artist to become a hero behind his back. Then came the actual fight where her opponent fought her on basically a handicap… YET SHE STRUGGLED TO WIN! While he was upset at this, his daughters opponent was happy that her opponent had to give it her all to win against her. A sentiment that he would not find out till much later was shared by the principal, the teachers, and many others who knew a good fight when they saw it. Kendo father decided to wait to talk to her till what he assumed would be her inevitable loss down the line.
