Villain!Deku x OC

Chapter 2: Aftermath and the Roaring Sports Festival

Jae's eyes slowly blinked open to a white ceiling. It smelled like a hospital, that was the only way she could describe it. As soon as her mind caught up to her body, she shot up from the bed she was lying on, but instantly regretted it when her vision spotted black and her head spun. Her body fell back down as she heard a voice. "Don't push yourself dear, your injuries were pretty severe."

Her eyes glanced towards her left and saw Recovery Girl walking through the door. "Injuries?" Jae croaked out and immediately brought her hand up to her sore throat. Her memory was fuzzy and she looked to Recovery Girl for answers. Her look was sad as she stared at the confused girl on the bed, like she didn't know what to say, but she didn't need to say anything. Like a dam breaking, the memories came flooding back to her. She let out a shaky breath and looked away from the healer and to the window. It was fairly light outside, and she guessed it was early morning. "How long have I been out?"

"Two days." Recovery Girl answered softy. Jae sighed, Two days, I've been out for two days. Wait… She immediately rose from the bed once again and looked back at Recovery Girl. "Wheres Katsuki? And Todoroki?" Her voice was frantic as she started to panic. "Are they okay? I need to see them. Now!" She moved to get out of the bed, throwing the covers off her body and rushing out the door before Recovery Girl could stop her or give her an answer. She marched down the hallway, and realized that she indeed was in a hospital. She looked on all the charts hanging outside each room, searching for the two boys names and luckily she found both of them in a large room on the same floor as her.

She burst through the door without knocking and found All Might and a detective talking to them both. They were both conscious, but wrapped up like mummies. Everyone looked at her when she made her surprise entrance, but Jae didn't pay them any mind as she walked silently over to the two boys, her head hung low. "Jae," Bakugo said quietly, like he was afraid to startle her. "It's alright, were okay." He tried to console her, but realized it was pointless when she finally raised her head and saw the tears streaming down her face.

"Don't say that!" She yelled, her fists clenching by her sides as her body shook. "How can you say that? None of this is okay! Look at you! You're both hurt! And you're both hurt because of me! It's all my fault! He did this because… because of me…" Her voice started out loud and fierce, but as she continued to speak her voice broke and she sounded defeated. She buried her face in her hands and tried to keep her sobbing quiet.

Bakugo looked stunned as he watched the strong independent girl he grew up with cry. He couldn't remember the last time he saw Jae cry, actually he could only think of one time he ever saw her cry, and now she was breaking down in front of him. Todoroki seemed just as much at a loss of words as him, he wasn't a very sociable person, and he had no idea how to deal with this situation. It seemed that neither of them had to act because All Might moved behind the crying girl and placed a hand on her shoulder. Her head shot up and looked behind her at the number one hero.

"None of this is your fault, Young Enderson. We were just talking to Young Bakugo and Todoroki

about what happened, and from what they've told me, and can see that this all stemmed from Midoriya's disappearance. Something happened to him in the time that he's been gone, and it seems to have driven him insane. So please, don't blame yourself." All Might sounded sincere, but Jae wasn't convinced. She caused this, if she hadn't left when she did, Izuku would still be here, the way that he way before.

Anger suddenly filled her veins, and she slapped All Mights hand from her shoulder. "You! You had something to do with this!" All Might took a step back, shocked at her outburst. "What did you say! What did you say to him, to cause him to turn like this!" She pointed an accusing finger at him. All Might tried to figure out what she meant, and came to the realization.

"He was that boy...a year ago. On the day I saved Young Bakugo from that sludge villain." All Might placed a hand on his chin, thinking back to that day. "Huh?" Bakugo suddenly spoke. "What do you mean All Might? What does Deku have to do with that sludge villain?" Bakugo glared at the number one hero, wanting answers of his own.

"The same day that the sludge villain attacked you, he attacked Midoriya earlier in the day." All Might explained. "After I captured the villain, Midoriya latched onto me as I was fleeing. We landed on a roof, and he asked me if it was possible to be a hero without a quirk." Jae calmed down a bit, motioning for All Might to continue as she sat down in one of the chairs, her legs crossed.

"I told him the truth, that being a hero is dangerous, and that I didn't think he could become a hero without a quirk. I didn't think he'd have this reaction." All Might started at the floor, disappointed in himself. "You shattered his dreams." Jae grumbled from her seat, giving All Might a glare of her own.

He sighed, "I thought he was old enough to handle the truth. The longer he kept hoping, the harder it was going to be when he found out. Villains are powerful, with deadly quirks backing them up. You can't defeat someone with power if you don't possess it yourself." Jae sighed, knowing he was right. "Im sorry, I'm just really stressed and I lost control of my anger. I had a long day."

The detective decided to join in as he spoke to her. "We'd actually like to hear your account of the event Miss Enderson, but if you don't feel as though you are ready, we can wait. We've tried to get in contact with your parents, but they haven't answered are calls." Jae just sighed and wiped the tears from her face. "My parents are out on a special case for the American Hero Association. I won't be able to contact them for at least 6 months." The detective looked surprised, but did not respond. "I'm alright, but I'd actually like to talk about this with someone else."

The detective sighed and looked towards All Might. "Who would you like to speak with?" All Might answered for him. "I wish to speak with Miss Midnight if possible." She fidgeted under his intense stare. "Ill contact her immediately." He turned to the detective. "Are we all set here Tsukauchi?" Tsukauchi flipped through his notes and nodded. "Thank you for your cooperation boys." He said to Bakugo and Todoroki. "We'll start investigating right away." With that he walked out the door with All Might behind him.

Jae watched them leave, then stood as she turned back to her two friends, not knowing what to say. "Jae." She was surprised when Todoroki was the first to call out to her. "None of this is your fault. We chose to come and help you, and despite you're warnings, we both jumped in without thinking. Our injuries are our own faults… but," Todoroki looked her right in the yes as he said something she didn't expect. "I don't regret it."

Her eyes widened and she looked at Bakugo when he agreed. "It doesn't matter that we got beat to shit by that bastard Deku. We bought enough time for the pros to get there and handle him, or so I heard." He said begrudgingly, still not liking the fact that he lost. And to the complete surprise of the two boys, she laughed. "Thanks guys" She sniffled. "I actually feel a bit better. I'll let you guys rest. I bet Recovery Girl is throwing a fit right now, I kinda ran out of my hospital room the second I woke up."

After a few hours, Midnight arrived at the hospital. Jae tried to explain everything to the best of her ability, including what quirks Deku had, but she had a feeling there were more than the 4 he had used. At the end of her story, she ended up in tears again when she recalled her assault. Midnight was silent and comforting while she was speaking, and when she was done she stayed until Jae felt alright to be alone.

A few days later Bakugo and Todoroki were released from the hospital. When they came back to class everyone kept asking them questions about Jae and about what happened and, as expected Bakugo yelled at them. "It's none of your damn business, so back off extras!" He growled out as he leaned back in his seat and glared at the students gathered in a ring around him and Todoroki.

"Class has begun you should all be in your seats." Aizawa walked into the classroom covered in bandages. Everyone rushed to there seats and Uraraka asked, "Are you sure you should be teaching Mr. Aizawa? Those injuries look pretty bad." Aizawa just brushed off her comment saying his health wasn't important.

"About the incident a few days ago, I know you all have many questions, but I need you all to keep quiet while I explain this to you. As you know, Enderson was attacked by one of the villains, in fact, it was actually the leader of the League." Aizawa paused to allow the students to observe the information. "The name of this villain was Deku, and he had multiple quirks." Everyone but Bakugo and Todoroki started to murmur about how that was possible, but were stopped by Aizawa continuing.

"I know it's hard to wrap your heads around, but it's true. Enderson was teleported directly to the villain, and there she engaged him in combat. She actually knows the villain, he was an old childhood friend, and believed him to be quirkless. This is why she was caught off guard. She was badly injured before getting hit by a strong attack." The two boys noticed how their teacher brushed over the part about Jae's mark.

"Thanks to Bakugo and Todoroki, more damage was avoided, and they bought enough time for the pros to show up and diffuse the situation. This villain is extremely dangerous, and if you ever encounter him, you will run. There is no engaging him in battle. Contact a pro and get out of there." Everyone nodded. "Now, Enderson is still recovering from her battle, both mentally and physically, so please keep your questions to yourself. She will be rejoining class after lunch today. That's all. Todoroki and Bakugo, I need to speak with you for a moment."

He walked out the door without another word and both boys followed him. Once they joined him outside the classroom, Aizawa sighed. "You too both saw the mark on Enderson, correct?" They nodded. "Then I need to ask you to keep that a secret. We don't know exactly what it does as of yet, but we don't want everyone knowing about it, and neither does she." Aizawa lied about the amount of information they had about the mark. Jae said that Deku told her it controlled her body, and due to what happened they were tempted to believe him, but the boys didn't need to know that.

"This is a dangerous situation, Jae will be staying on school grounds from now on, and she's not allowed to leave without an escort from a teacher or a pro hero. This is serious, and I need both of you to keep an eye on her. If she acts strangely, we need to be informed immediately, and if you see this Deku" He paused. "You are not allowed to engage him, no matter what the situation. You will call a teacher, and immediately get out of there. Do you understand?" He glared at them, repeating his previous statement to the class.

"Yes sir."

"Yeah whatever." Bakugo and Todoroki responded differently, but both of them knew what was at stake. "All right let's go back to class."

Jae returned to class and everything went back to normal, or as normal as it could get with the Sports Festival around the corner. The teachers told her that if she didn't want to participate she didn't have to, but she wouldn't back down. Even though this whole situation had her jumbled, she wouldn't let herself fall behind. So when the day of the Sports Festival arrived, she steeled her nerves and readied herself for her next battle.

Class 1-A was getting ready to enter the stadium, and she was standing with Uraraka and Iida. "I can't believe we have to wear our uniforms, I wish we could have worn our costumes." Uraraka sighed as she looked at her gym clothes. "At least everyone will be in uniform." Iida responded. Jae nodded her head in agreement, also looking at her uniform. She was glad that it covered her chest, but just incase it got destroyed, she wore a black tank top and wrapped her chest with bandages.

She felt a tap on her shoulder and looked back to see Todoroki. "Hey Todoroki, what's up?" He pulled her away from her friends without a word, moving into the hallway. "Whats going on Todoroki?" His eyes were downcast, and he wouldn't look at her. "Im sorry." He finally said.

"What? You have nothing to-" Todoroki cut her off grabbing her arms. "Yes I do! I should have been able to protect you from him, but I couldn't do anything! Despite your warnings, I still rushed him, and you had to watch him hurt someone in front of you again." His gaze was hardened, and his eyes never left hers. She could see the regret in his heterochromatic eyes, and she knew he was feeling guilty.

"Its okay Todoroki, I don't hold anything against you. You tried your best, and I'm grateful that you came to help me at all." She looked away as a blush made its way to her face. "Thank you, for coming to save me, Todoroki." She pecked him on the cheek before he could pull away. Todoroki took a step back, a blush flooding his face from the tips of his hair to his neck. Jae looked up at him through her lashes, her own blush on her face.

"Sorry, we should get back, were going in soon." She turned to go back in, but Todoroki stopped her with a hand around her wrist. "Wait, Jae I might be a bit cold during the festival, but… let's talk about this afterwards." She nodded, a smile on her face as she made her way back into the room.

The referee for the event was Midnight, which put Jae's nerves at ease. The first event was the obstacle course and everyone gathered around the start point. Jae shook her head as she thought of the moment she had with Todoroki. No, you have to focus Jae, just get through this task first. Jae hung back when the signal to start sounded. That hallway is far too narrow, when everyone rushes in… As soon as the horn went off, everyone scrambled to get through the doorway, causing a big pile up. They'll get stuck. Jae smirked while activating her wind quirk, eyes turning silver, and lifting her body off the ground.

She flew above her opponents and made her way through the small doorway. As she approached the exit she felt a chilled wind blast through the hall, causing her to lose her balance and crashed to the ground as she made her way out of the first obstacle. Damn Todoroki. She cursed as she picked herself up from the ground, watching as Todoroki passed by her. She noticed some of her classmates dodged the ice blast and were gaining on her. She bounced back quickly and ran to catch up with Todoroki, but was halted when three big Zero bots from the entrance exam stood in her way. She could hear Present Mic's voice over the speaker, but ignored him.

"So this is what you all faced in the entrance exam." Todoroki didn't sound impressed. "If they were going to go through all the trouble, they should have prepared something more difficult." Todoroki lifted his right hand and froze all the robots in their tracks. "Especially since my old man is watching." Jae let out an impressed whistle as she watched him run under the frozen bots. She heard a few people yell to run underneath them but Todoroki warned them against it, he had frozen them off their balance, on purpose. That ass.

She used her wind to push all her opponents away from the falling metal, then pushed herself up and over the crashing robots with her quirk. She allowed herself a smile. This is actually kinda fun! She let out a giggled as she landed on the other side of the wreckage and continued to run after Todoroki. It seemed like she was gonna use mostly her wind quirk for this course, she thought as she approached the next obstacle, a ravine with a bunch of rock platforms and ropes.

"Childs play." She scoffed as she flew over the gorge with ease, she was catching up with Todoroki because as she was over halfway across he just slid over the last rope using his ice. She continued to fly until she was about 20 feet behind him. I should save my energy, better not overdo it by flying the whole time. Her body was swift and agile and she caught up with him fast, but they were both stopped by the minefield before them.

Todoroki went straight in and started to carefully walk through the field. Jae just followed his example, staying close but keeping her distance as to not antagonize him into attacking, But once they were half way through, Bakugo came barreling by her and attacked Todoroki. "You damn bastard, as if i'd let you win!" They started to fight hand to hand as they danced their way through the maze. Jae just laughed and took to the sky again, as she flew passed them she gave them a wink and blew a kiss. "See ya later boys!"

She broke into another laugh as they both gave her a look of shock with a slight blush, then Bakugo got mad and propelled himself towards her in the air. "Damn it Jae! What are you playing at!" She dodged his attack as she swerved around in the air, She noticed Todoroki catching up and so did Bakugo. He ditched the idea of attacking her up high and made his way back down, going for speed. They were catching up to her and she had to get them off her back.

An mischievous smile grew on her face when she got an idea. She flew down so she was right above them, her right eye turning blue as created a water whip on her right hand. They both saw her above them, but before they could stop her, she attacked. She cracked her whip at a few mines and set off a pink explosion right in their faces. She landed on the other side of the field and started to run again. The explosion didn't stop them, and when she looked back they were both hot on her heels again. She bursted her speed with a bit of wind and barreled into the stadium.

"And the first place winner of the obstacle course is… Jewle Enderson from class 1-A!" Present Mic announced her victory and the crowd went wild. Jae raised up her arms and waved, celebrating her victory, with a big smile on her face.

Deku laughed darkly as he watched as Jae address the crowd on the tv screen. He knew that she'd win, and he was sure that she'd also make it to the finals. "Enjoy your fun while it lasts Adina." He smirked leaning back in his seat. "I'll be seeing you real soon." He continued to watch her celebrate, his eyes trained on the screen as the next event was announced.

The next round was announced and Jae just laughed when it was announced that she had ten million points. This is gonna be fun. Jae always loved a challenge, and with the way she performed in the first round, many of her classmates were confident with her abilities. Many students asked to join her but she needed specific abilities. Her teammates turned out to be Uraraka, Tokoyami, and a girl named Hatsume from the support course. Her gadgets were gonna come in handy during this round and it gave them a huge advantage.

With her team set, she got ready for her next battle, and she was going to win. As soon as the bell sounded, all the teams ran towards her. From her position as the rider, she could see that both Bakugo and Todoroki were coming after her, wanting revenge from the last round. "What are we gonna do Jae?" Uraraka asked as she eyed the teams coming for them. "Let's show them how we fly, shall we?" She activated her quirk, and with the help of Uraraka's zero gravity, they took to the sky. To help with their landing, Uraraka wore the hover soles that Hatsume made, but before they could start their landing, she heard explosions.

"Off course." She scoffed when she saw Bakugo soaring towards them. "Damn it Jae! Give me that headband!" Jae stuck out her tongue. "No thanks, I think it suits me. Don't you think so, Tokoyami?" Tokoyami used Dark Shadow to block Bakugo's advance, sending him back into the arms of his teammates. "Is dark shadow okay?" She asked as they landed back on the ground and kept running. "Bakugo's explosions are a weakness to dark shadow, so we should avoid him."

"Ha! Don't worry about Katsuki, i'll handle him next time. Shit!" Jae dodged as purple balls shot at them. "Little perv." She cursed when she saw Mineta wave at her from inside the barrier of Shoji's arms. She dodged again when Asui's tongue shot out at her, and she used a burst of air the send them sliding away from her.

As Jae took a look at her surroundings, she saw that Bakugo and his team were chasing after a team from class B. She sweat dropped. That moron got his headband stolen cause he was too focused on me. Her team seemed to be in the clear, but were stopped dead in their tracks when Todoroki's team cut them off. His team was strong, made up of Iida, Momo, and Kaminari. He looked intimidating as he grabbed the bo staff like weapon that Momo made for him, his eyes stealed on her,

"Well, well. Really thought I was in the clear there for a second." She scoffed. "Guess I was wrong. Ne, Todoroki-kun?" She teased him as she prepared for a fight. He won't use his fire, and I can handle his ice. The main problem here is Kaminari. She locked eyes with him, refusing to back down. "Well, I couldn't make it easy for you now could I?" He easily teased back, allowing a smile to make its way on his face. He thinks he's won, well guess again. Jae's eyes turned a brilliant blue as Todoroki attempted to freeze them in place.

Jae just smiled and flexed her right hand, causing all of Todoroki's ice to convert into water. She glided her arms around, guiding the water in a protective barrier around her team as they faced off. Both Todoroki's team and her own were shocked by her ability to negate his ice so easily. "That's not going to cut it Todoroki." She mocked as she continued to circulate the water around her team.

"Damn it, Yaoyorozu, Kanimari!" He ordered causing, Yaoyorozu to create an insulated blanket that wrapped around her team. Then Kaminari sent out a wave of electricity. Dark shadow blocked its advance, but caused him to become timid and retreat back into Tokoyami. "Dark Shadow is down." He murmured. "That's fine. Kaminari's turned Idiot anyways." She pointed at a mumbling Kaminari with a blank face.

"Should we run?" Uraraka asked. "Yes! Let's show off my babies a bit more!" Hastume agreed, but that was mostly due to her own goal of getting noticed. "Ha, not yet. This is just getting good." Jae returned her gaze to her opponent, and he seemed to be trying to figure out what to do next, but he didn't have to. "Listen up." Iida said as he got into a lungling position. "We're gonna get that headband, but after I do this, i'll be useless to you." His teammates were confused but he didn't explain more. "Just make sure you get that head band Todoroki." His engines let out a bright blue exhaust, and Jae knew he was about to let out a burst of speed.

Right as they launched forwards, Jae concentrated the water surrounding her team and created a hard shell around her head. As they zipped by, Todoroki attempted to take the headband, but was repelled by the barrier. His team ended up a few feet away from them, shaken from the sudden burst of speed. "Damnit, she's too good." Yaoyorozu said in shock when she saw Todoroki's bruised hand. Meanwhile Todoroki's head was spinning in thought. That barrier felt like i was slapping concrete, damn, just how versatile is her quirk? He gazed behind him towards Jae and saw her confident expression.

Todoroki's team is out, but now. Her eyes narrowed and she turned around to see Bakugo speeding towards them. He must of gotten his revenge, and now he's after more. Jae got ready to deflect his attacks with her water when he blasted at her from the air, but before he could get to her, time ran out and he landed flat on his face.

Her team let out cries of victory, and she smiled as they lowered her down. Bakugo sat on the ground screaming in rage as his teammates tried to calm him down, and Todoroki just stared between his hand and her. The Cavalry Battle was over, and now the real fun begins.

All the passing contestants were given a break as they prepared the stage for the tournament. Two people dropped out of the next round, Ojiro and a kid from Class B. They said that they didn't remember the cavalry battle and that they didn't deserve to be there. Two students replaced them, Tetsutetsu and Shiozaki, from class B. Jae didn't really pay attention to them as the matchup were announced. The order went…

Jewle Enderson vs Hitoshi Shinso

Ibara Shiozaki vs Denki Kaminari

Shoto Todoroki vs Hanta Sero

Tenya Iida vs Mei Hatsume

Momo Yaoyorozu vs Fumikage Tokoyami

Mina Ashido vs Yuga Aoyama

Eijiro Kirishima vs Tetsutetsu Testsutestsu

Katsuki Bakugo vs Ochoko Uraraka

Jae winced at the thought of the last match. She knew that Katsuki wasn't going to hold back, and it was going to be brutal. She hoped that Uraraka would be okay. Her thoughts were interrupted when a boy with purple hair and tired eyes walked up to her. "You're Jewle Enderson correct?" He held out his hand for her to shake, but she didn't take it, she just observed him. She didn't trust the vibe he was giving off, she gave him a look and he put his hand down. "Im Shinso. By the way. You've got an amazing quirk, how does it work?" She gave him a look that screamed 'really?' as she crossed her arms. Her instincts were never wrong, something was off here.

"Oh, Jae!" Ojiro came up to her and pulled her away from the strange boy. He let out a relieved sigh and glared over his shoulder. "You can't talk to him. His quirk allows him to take over your mind when you speak to him." he explained. "Well, that explains the bad vibe I got from him. Thanks for the heads up Ojiro, that would have sucked if I got caught in his little trap." She patted his shoulder with a smile. "Give him a good beating for me, would ya Jae?" She smirked. "Of Course."

After an embarrassing mistake, the girls ended up in cheerleading uniforms, well everyone except for Jae because she was too busy preparing for her fight to be tricked by Kaminari and Mineta. With the extra games over, the tournament began.

Jae walked out of the tunnel as her name was called. "First up from the Hero Course, she's the girl that will blow you away! She won both the Obstacle course and the Cavalry Battle! Jewle Enderson from Class 1-A!" Present Mic announced as she made her way onto the stage. "And her opponent this round, we haven't seen much of him, its Hitoshi Shinso from General Studies!" Shinso walked out from the other side of the arena and walked onto the stage.

Midnight raised her hand, her handcuffs rattling. "Begin!" She lowered her hand signaling the start of the match. Jae just observed his opponent, wondering what he was planning. She wasn't going to give him the chance to catch her, she was gonna cream this prick. "Must be nice to have such a powerful quirk." He spat. "It'll be so easy for you to become a hero." She didn't fall into his bait. "Its sad, tail boy asking you to redeem him, what a joke."

She scoffed and rolled her eyes. This kids an idiot. She raised her left arm her eyes melting a shining silver. She used her wind quirk to send a powerful blast of wind in his direction, and for good measure she added a few sharp currents. The blast wasn't enough to knock him out of bounds but he got plenty of scratches. Shinso looked at his injuries, and let a smirk make its way to his face. "You really are powerful, but we all know what happened at the USJ. The most powerful student in class 1-A defeated by a villain. How disappointing."

Jae's eyes widened, an image of Deku's crazed face flashed in her mind. She was about to respond with a remark, but stopped herself as she looked into the stands. Her friends were cheering for her, and Ojiro is counting on her. I can't let him control my life!

This is for Ojiro you little shit. She activated her water quirk, pulling water from thin air and wrapping it around his wrist when he tried to take advantage of her shock, rushing her. I don't think so. She smirked and pulled on the whip flinging him around the stage. Once she was satisfied she flung him out of bounds. He rolled on the ground stopping just short of the wall.

"Shinso is out of bonds! Jewle is the winner!" The crowd cheered for her, but it wasn't too wild. The battle was completely one sided, and she won easily. She could have ended it in the first second but she had to teach the bastard a lesson. She walked over to Shinso as he got up. "Maybe next time you should ask your teammates if they want to join you, not force them to do your bidding. Also, bringing up those memories, was a mistake on your part Shinso. All you did was make me angry, and people dont like me when I'm angry." With that said she moved out of the arena and back into the tunnel.

Shinso couched a bit, smirking as he watched her exit the arena. You were right Izuku, she's got a strong spirit. He stood up, swaying as he did, wiping some blood from his lips. I'll be seeing you again soon, Jewle Enderson.

As Jae made her way back through the halls, she heard a man's voice. "You're being disgraceful Shouto. What are you thinking? Stop being rebellious, if you had just used your quirk to its full potential you would have had an overwhelming victory in the first two rounds." She peaked around the corner and noticed Todoroki walking passed his father, a cold look on his face. "I'll show you. I'm going to win the tournament, using only moms quirk. I won't give you the pleasure of seeing me use yours!" Todoroki growled back at his father, clearly angry.

"You'll soon learn the limitations of that power." Endeavor replied simply and walked away. Jae came around the corner as soon as Endeavor was out of sight. "You okay Todoroki?" She tried not to sound like she was prying. He sighed shaking out the last bits of his rage as he turned to speak to her. She could still see the rage in his eyes as he responded. "It's nothing." He tried to walk towards the tunnel entrance but Jae blocked his path. "You're tearing yourself in two Todoroki. I don't know why you refuse to use your left side, but I dont think it's healthy to try and cut a part of you out." She tried to reason with him, but he was to mad to listen.

"You're right, you don't understand." He simply walked past her and continued to his battle. Jae sighed as she watched him go. "That moron. We're gonna have to talk about this later."

The next fight started soon afterwards, and Shiozaki completely overwhelmed Kaminari. When it was Todoroki's turn to fight, his rage took over as soon as Sero attacked him. He unleashed a huge ice attack, practically freezing half of the stadium in the process. Jae protected her class from the ice by melting the parts that almost hit them before they could get to them. She sighed as she saw Todoroki's sad face as he melted Sero from the ice. He really is tearing in two.

The next few fights went by quickly. Hatsume tortured Iida with her gadgets for a while then stepped out of bounds. Tokoyami pushed Yaoyorozu out of bounds with Dark Shadow. Ashido beat Aoyama by destroying his belt with her acid. Kirishima and Tetsutetsu tied, needing a rematch later on. And now it was time for Bakugo and Uraraka's fight.

Just as Jae suspected, it was brutal. Bakugo didn't hold back at all. Causing the crowd to boo him for 'messing around with her', but Aizawa shut them up by saying that Bakugo was showing her respect by not holding back, and Uraraka wasn't helpless. With her last ditch plan, she attacked Bakugo with all the debris from his attacks. Even with all her effort though, Bakugo still ended up defeating her.

Throughout all the excitement of the festival, Jae completely forgot about all her troubles and Deku. But in a hidden underground bar, Deku continued to watch as Jae fought her way to the top, not forgetting about her for a second. He was planning his next move, and with his pawns in place, it was almost time.

Hey guys! Second chapter down! Over halfway through the Sports Festival. Will Jae end up on top? How does Shinso know Deku? What's his position in Deku's power plan? All will be revealed in the future!

Sorry about the lack of Deku in this chapter, I didn't want to skip over the major events, but expect to see more of him in the next chapter. Things are gonna start heating up real soon! Hope you enjoyed!
