Team I vs. Team B
The first round was Bakugo and Sero as the heroes vs. Kaminari and Hagakure as the villains. To the villain's dismay, Bakugo alone proved to be too much for them, not to mention Sero's ability to easily capture them. The battle ended almost as soon as it started.
"That was ridiculous..." Uraraka said.
"Kacchan really doesn't play around..." Midoriya followed.
Man, I'm glad I wasn't pinned against him. I'd able to fare well, but worrying about Uraraka, while trying to avoid Sero's tape... Bulla thought about strategies that may have worked against the brutal team.
Team A vs. Team C
The second round pinned Iida and Yaoyorozu as the heroes against Shoji and Koda as the villains. As the battle began, Iida rushed through the halls at top speed while Yaoyorozu followed his trail, creating a map of their path as they traveled.
It wasn't long before Iida located the weapon containing the weapon. As he busted the door down and entered, Shoji threw his large body over Iida, pinning him to the ground. As Koda ran over, capture tape in hand, Iida turned his calf ninety degrees, aiming his engine to the side as he blasted at full power. His body spun on the floor, sweeping Koda off his feet and causing Shoji to roll off.
As Iida brought himself to his feet, Yaoyarozu joined the fray, summoning a shield on one arm and a rod on another. As Iida engaged Shoji, slamming a heavy kick on his arms, Yaoyorozu slipped past, slamming her shield into Koda and knocking him out of the way. As she closed the distance between her and the weapon, Shoji threw Iida off of him and attempted to stop her, but to no avail. She jammed her rod into his gut and allowed Iida to slam another heavy kick into his temple, knocking him over as Yaoyorozu placed her hand on the weapon.
"Good job, Momo." Bulla said to herself, watching the TV screens intently. "You're Quirk is Zero Gravity, you said, right? "
"Yeah," Uraraka said with a nod, "and I remember you can fire lasers. I think we have a pretty good team."
"Right..." Bulla began to think of strategies that could help them in any given situation. Suddenly, Uraraka chuckled, catching her attention.
"I'm sorry, you just look like Deku with that face." Uraraka explained.
"Deku...? Who's that?" She explained as her comrade pointed to Midoriya.
"He said Bakugo used to call him that. He's really smart, and he's always analyzing everything." Uraraka explained as the participants joined the class, prompting the next team to be drawn.
Team H vs. Team G
The third round consisted of Midoriya and Todoroki on the hero team, and Mineta and Ashido on the villain team. Todoroki had his entire left side encased in ice, and just like that left side, the entire building was encased, as well, moments after the start of the round.
Team H took their time finding the floor that held the weapon. With no resistance, Todoroki waltzed into the room and past his immobilized enemies, placing a hand om the weapon. Watching the screen, Bulla shivered, for more reasons than the room being frozen. "I kn-n-n-new it! He's s-s-s-so s-s-s-s-trong, and I almost got pinned against that!" She said in concern as Uraraka bundled up to her for warmth.
"S-S-So c-c-cold!" Uraraka said through her teeth.
"I h-h-h-hate the c-c-cold!" Bulla reiterated as Todoroki began to thaw his ice.
Team F vs. Team E
The fourth round continued with Asui and Tokoyami as the heroes vs Sato and Jiro as the villains.
"It looks like we're going to be last, Uraraka." Bulla told her. "And the only team left is Team D..." Bulla looked over to Aoyama and Kirishima.
"Well, at least one of them is Aoyama, so we can expect that Navel Laser to cover their distanced attacks."
"Right, but we don't know what Kirishima's Quirk is. It might not be a physical Quirk at all, since he didn't use it once during the physical exams." Bulla explained, biting her thumb.
"You know," Uraraka began, "you talk a lot more when you're strategizing. It's pretty refreshing coming from a quiet girl like you." She shared with a smile, causing Bulla to look away with a blush.
"Oh, is that so? I'm sorry..."
"Hey now! There's nothing to apologize for!" Before they could continue talking, the match began. Asui scaled the walls of the buildings, no doubt looking for the floor that the weapon was on. The class could see her say something into her ear piece before being blown away by a massive Soundwave.
Jiro had used her Quirk to shatter the window and blow her opponent off the building before plugging her earphone jack into the floor, trying to zero in on Tokoyami's location. Several minutes passed before Tokoyami made his way into the room, having followed Asui's directions. As Sato downed bag of sugar and rushed his opponent, Dark Shadow emerged to engage, holding back Sato's advances.
Just before Jiro could plug her jack into her boot and unleash another Soundwave, she found a long tongue wrapped around her leg, yanking it from under her as her face hit the floor hard. Before they could recuperate from the surprise attack, Asui had already made contact with the weapon.
"I see, he had her fall back so they'd be convinced that she was out of commission from that one attack. Clever." Bulla told herself. As her classmates joined the remainder of the class, All Might turned to the crowd.
"Alright, that leaves..." As he yanked the last two balls out of the boxes, he took a close look at them. "Team D as the heroes, and Team J as the villains!"
Bulla clenched her fists at her side. "Uraraka, let's do this!"
"Right!"
Team D vs. Team J
Several minutes passed, and Bulla put her hand on the weapon. "What if I make the weapon float, and we can leave in the corner along the ceiling?" Uraraka suggested.
"I don't think that'll work. We still don't know what Kirishina can do. Besides, just in case we need it, I want to save your strength as a trump card." Bulla told her, pulling away from the weapon.
"Me...? A trunp card...?"
"You have an amazing ability, Uraraka. I'm going to make sure we put it to good use." Bulla eyes were determined as she turned around, putting her hands on the floor.
"What are you...?" Uraraka leaned over, staring at her intently. "Is everything okay?" Her eyes were shut, and her eyebrows furled together.
"They're climbing. One floor below us, and rapidly approaching! Get ready, Uraraka!" Bulla demanded, pulling herself to her feet.
"How can you tell?!" Uraraka asked in a panic.
"Just trust me, please." A moment of silence passed before Uraraka nodded, now full of determination as she ran up to the weapon and stood her ground. As expected, their enemies approached. Several dents formed from the other side of the door before a bright light blasted it down. Bulla stepped to the side, allowing it to slam against the wall on the far end.
"There you are!" Kirishima said as he slammed together two jagged fists. The sound of stones scraping together echoed throughout the room. "Excuse us, girls, we'll be needing to take that weapon, if you don't mind!"
"I see... So you can harden your skin, is that right, hero?" I hate having to do this...but it's part of the lesson! If I want to understand the mindset and capabilities of a villain in the future, I need to embody that title! "It's not like it'll matter... You'll die here, soon enough." Bulla spoke in her most threatening tone, trying to act like her father had in the stories she was told as a young child.
As Uraraka began to laugh, Aoyama raised his arms behind his head and unleashed his laser. Bulla met it halfway with her own Ki Blast, cancelling it out entirely in an explosion of dust. "My, my, Mademoiselle!" Aoyama spoke. "It's a shame that we're on separate sides. We'd be a très magnifique team with a dazzling lasers!"
"Tsk! You'd just be in my way!" Bulla told him as she dashed forward, throwing power punch towards Aoyama. As her attack landed, she scowled at the rock-hard sensation scraping against her first. "Speaking of in the way!" She said, throwing another punch into Kirishima's gut, but to no avail.
"You were right! I can harden any part of my body, making me an unbreakable shield, or an spear that can pierce anything!" He shouted as his arm became jagged. He threw a fist, but Bulla deflected it, allowing the rough skin to scrape against her arm before throwing another fist into his gut. As his literal rock-hard abs stopped her blow, she could feel the rough feeling of skin disappear. With a smile, she opened her palm and unleashed a blast at point blank range, pushing the two of them into the hall.
Thanks to Kirishima's Quirk, they took minimal damage and quickly recovered, blasting through the newly-formed dust cloud with a sparkling beam. Bulla raised her arms defensively, pushing her back into the war. Kirishima used the diversion to dash in, straight towards Uraraka, and as Bulla attempted to get up, Aoyama fired another beam, keeping her pinned. "Dammit, you're getting on my nerves!" Bulla blasted towards the ground, throwing herself onto the roof before blasting off of the roof and towards the weapon. As Kirishima reached out towards Uraraka, Bulla came by and threw a fist forward. Kirishima raised his arm and blocked it, earning a smile from Bulla. "Now, Uraraka!"
Her fingers lightly pressed against Kirishima's chest, emitting a soft pink glow as Bulla landed yet another fist on Kirishima's gut, slightly lifting him off the ground. "What the-!?" Before he could finish, Bulla spun around and slammed her leg into her opponent, sending him flying against the wall.
"Defense means nothing if you don't have the footing to stand your ground!" She yelled as she blasted off towards him, holding one arm out above her and one below her. As she propelled forward, she spun herself like a tornado, remaining focused and controlled enough not to spiral out of control. "Special Move: Celestial Hurricane!" With her battle cry, she flipped herself at the last possible moment and slammed her foot into Kirishima's chest, sending him flying through the wall and into the nearby building.
Standing her ground, Bulla turned to Aoyama, who revealed a hint of fear. "Give up, Aoyama!" Uraraka called out.
"I'm afraid that I cannot fulfill your request, Mon Amie!" He said, standing his ground as he fired at Bulla once more. She raised her hand and held out her arm, opening her palm to her opponent. As the light formed in her hand, she thrust forward, blocking the laser and sending it past her. It was no more than a second before Aoyama's beam dwindled to nothing.
"It's too bad you can't fire that laser for more than a few seconds." With a smile, Bulla unleashed the beam she had charged, blasting Aoyama backwards into the hall. "Tie him up, Uraraka."
"Right!" She said as she ran through the room. "That was amazing, Brief! I didn't realize that you were so strong, even without your lasers!" She praised as All Might's voice played in their ear.
"The villain team successfully defended the weapon from the heroes. Ten minutes have passed, please return to the class so that we may brief the results of the exercise." He said.
"You heard him." Bulla said loudly enough so that Uraraka could hear. She walked over and helped Aoyama up, untying his restraints. "Make sure you communicate with Kirishima. And tell him that I'm sorry for going so far." She said as she and Uraraka sought out to join the rest of their class.
"Oui...Mademoiselle..."
