THAT WAS AMAZING!" A voice Yanagi instantly recognized as Midoriya's, screamed with excitement.
'Of course he'd be excited...' Yanagi thought, a small smile gracing her features as she followed the voice.
"She just blew her up, and she did the pose! She did- Oh, hey Yanagi." The rest of Class 1-A turned to see the first finalist in the flesh.
"Could you keep it down? I can hear your yelling from down the hall."
"But can't I be excited for the woman who earned us 100,000 yen!" This declaration made Jirou and Sero tense up, as Uraraka cackled.
"Heck yeah! I made 200,000 from scamming those business course students. They even signed a contract so they ain't going to weasel me out of my money." Uraraka commented.
"I'm grateful that my performance earned you some extra spending funds." Yanagi commented before looking at Jirou, "As for you, you don't have the money do you?"
"I... no I don't."
"I'll waive your fe-"
"Oh heck no Yanagi." Midoriya commented.
"Pardon?"
"I assume you're on the same boat Sero?" Embarrassed and slightly nervous, Sero nodded. "See? These jerks made bets with money they didn't have! We can't just let them go on this. Because either they lose nothing and they run, or they win and get 50,000 yen richer. They can't lose in this transaction had it went to plan."
"Sounds like you know from experience." Yanagi commented, "Fine, what do you suggest they do?"
"I'll tell you what they should do-"
"Oi! Midoriya! There you are!" Right on schedule, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu barged into the 1-A viewing booth, "They finished the stage, come on! We got our duel ahead of us!" Grabbing the collar of his uniform, Tetsutetsu dragged Midoriya away.
"B-But my money!"
Aaaaand he's gone, leaving all of the attention on Yanagi. 'Thank you for everything Tetsutetsu...'
"So... you were going to waive my fee right?" Jirou asked.
She was considering it... but she had a better idea.
"No, however I might require a favor in the future."
"What is this? The mafia?"
"Call me Doña Yanagi."
...
...
"PFFT! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" And Uraraka started cackling, "O-Oh shit! That was awesome! Dang girl, oop- I mean Doña Yanagi, you take those reigns!"
Yanagi smirked at Uraraka's laughter as she took a seat. "Oh, and Sero. when Midoriya comes back... he's not going to be anywhere near as merciful." Defeated, Sero sat back down. With a sigh Yanagi turned back to the stage.
"So who do you think will win this one? Asking for a friend and definitely not for me." Uraraka asked as Yanagi shrugged.
"Midoriya has a Strength Quirk as well as his Fire Quirk. While Tetsutetsu has a highly defensive Quirk with his Steel, which also acts as an offensive ability since... in layman's terms, getting hit with a human fist doesn't inflict as much damage as getting hit with steel."
"That's true, and Midoriya has to essentially use his Strength Quirk, because Steel has a high melting point." Uraraka commented, "I think it was... 1510 Celsius?"
"Someone's been paying attention to the study sessions." Uraraka gave a proud smile, "But that's Iron's melting point, Steel's melting point at around 1370 degrees Celsius." Aaaand it's gone. "But even with that information, Midoriya's fire Quirk is no where near enough to melt Tetsutetsu, since his orange fire is roughly 1100 degrees Celsius. While it could theoretically affect Tetsutetsu... he's too bull headed to fall to fire."
"So his only option is to fight him head on. Am I right?"
"It appears so." Yanagi replied, as she watched Midoriya and Tetsutetsu take center stage. "So this battle..."
"Is a battle between an Unstoppable Force, and an Immovable Object."
...
"That boy's attack..." Meanwhile, the Flame Hero Endeavor was still processing the first round. More specifically, Midoriya's battle against Kodai. "It looked just like my Jet Burn, albeit rough around the edges."
His flames increased in intensity as Midoriya took the stage for his battle against Tetsutetsu, "Not to mention he has that evasion Quirk, he has two Quirks..."
He took his eyes away from the stage to stare down at the pamphlet, "Izuku Midoriya..."
"Why does that name sound familiar."
...
"AND NOW! LET'S BEGIN ROUND 2 OF THE SPORTS FESTIVAL!" Present Mic yelled as Midoriya and Tetsutetsu stared each other down.
"Midoriya?"
"Yeah? T4?"
"Let's give the people a good show..."
"Like you even had to say that."
"BEGIN!"
The two wasted no time, charging at each other to collide fists at center stage, a power tug of war being exhibited at the center.
*Fwoosh* *Tap*
Until the two jumped back and rushed again, having got a glimpse of each other's power and capabilities, started a true brawl. Punch after punch, dodge after dodge, each hit has promptly countered with another hit. A brutal dance of punches on full display... before they jumped back once again.
"Not bad... not bad at all Midoriya." Tetsutetsu commented, rubbing a scuff mark off of his cheek. "But neither of us are going all out yet."
"I thought that's what you wanted. I've seen your collection of battle manga, start off slow then go all out at the end."
"Teh... then let's skip to phase 2!" Tetsutetsu yelled before activating Steel, coating his arms in a silver sheen. "Come on... show me whatcha got!"
'He just coated his arms... not his whole body. He's conserving himself...' Midoriya thought before charging up 10% of One for All. "Alright, I'll play your game."
"Hell yeah..."
*CLANG* *CLANG*
He collided his steel fists together to hype himself up, "LET'S DO THIS!" The pair charged at each other, and collided fists.
*CLANG* *CRACK*
"GAH!" Midoriya yelled as he held his hand, "Right... metal."
"That looked like it HURT!"
*WHAM*
Seizing his opportunity, Tetsutetsu rushed in to deliver a swift jab into Midoriya's stomach. The force sent Midoriya flying back a few feet. "And a strong punch by Tetsutetsu! That's gotta hurt!"
"It did... nggh... it did." Midoriya commented before standing up, "Both my hand and stomach hurt. Which means I gotta change-
*FWOOSH*
"My strategy!" Instantly charging up 17%, Midoriya blitzed Tetsutetsu and delivered a sharp kick to his chin.
*CLANG* *Crack* *Skiiiid*
But was swiftly blocked by Tetsutetsu, his steel shell cracking as he skidded back from the force. "Nggh... heh." Recovering from the recoil, Tetsutetsu stood up straight
*Fwink* *CLANG*
And re-armored his arm, "I learned that if I deactivate my Quirk, then reactivate it, so long I have enough iron stores I can restore my armor."
"Smart... yet dumb." Midoriya commented, "Because that means in order to beat you..."
*BZZT* *FWOOSH*
"Is to beat the iron out of you." Charging up to 22%, Midoriya practically disappeared as he rushed to deliver a sharp kick to Tetsutetsu's jaw.
*FWINK* *CLANG* *Crack* *FWOOSH*
Activating Steel on his face right before contact he protected himself from the attack that sent him flying back near out of bounds. "Nggh... damn it that was good." Tetsutetsu muttered, re armoring himself before looking at Midoriya hopping in place. The sheer power caused a mini cyclone around him, only for it to calm down as he powered down back to 10%.
"What's wrong? I thought you wanted to give the people a good show?"
"You, mmgh, you got a good hit in, big deal." Tetsutetsu muttered, forcing himself back to his feet and slamming his steel arms together. "I'm still raring to go!"
"Fine..." Midoriya sighed as he flicked his hair, really getting into the idea of a stereotypical anime battle... for whatever reason. "Then I'll just have to beat you down."
Charging back up to 15% Midoriya rushed at Tetsutetsu, "You're not going to get me this-
Instantly charging back to 22%, Midoriya rushed behind Tetsutetsu and kicked him in the back-
*FWINK* *CLANG* *FWOOSH*
'Damn... his reaction time is phenomenal!' Midoriya thought, deactivating One for All as he watched Tetsutetsu tumble to the other side of the stage. "Fine... I guess trickery isn't going to work here."
"Damn... nggh, right." Tetsutetsu muttered, getting back up. "If you want to beat me, then face me like a man!"
"Fine." Midoriya relented as he charged back up to 10%, then said the most villain phrase he could think of, "7 minutes... 7 minutes is all I can spare to play with you."
Tetsutetsu armored his arms, and the two charged at each other.
…
"Why doesn't Midoriya drag him out of bounds?" Thirteen asked the other teachers in the teacher's viewing space, "He has the strength and speed to end this. All he's doing is wasting his energy."
"You're thinking about this too linearly Thirteen." Vlad King muttered as he watched his students trade high powered blows. "Midoriya isn't fighting just to win, he's also fighting to make his friends better."
"How so?" Ectoplasm asked.
"You of all people should know that the more you use your Quirk, the stronger it becomes. It's like overworking your muscle fibers. When they break they grow back stronger, thicker. So when a Quirk is pushed to its absolute limit-"
"It becomes stronger, am I right?" Snipe asked.
"Correct." Vlad King replied, "Think back to his battle with Kodai, as well as Yanagi's battle with Yaoyorozu. Growing numerous pebbles, as well as bringing all of those bombs out of the ground and to the stadium must have taken a lot of effort. And take a look now."
*CRACK* *CLINK*
"As those two fight, Midoriya is breaking Tetsutetsu's armor, causing him to constantly reform his shell. Not only that but he's testing his reaction time and Quirk activation speed by relentlessly pummeling him. Intentional or not, but I can bet intentional, Midoriya is helping Tetsutetsu's Quirk get stronger. As well as his reaction time and endurance."
"HAAAH!" A sharp kick to Tetsutetsu's stomach caused the boy to skid back once again, but he's staying on his feet.
"Nggh..." He rearmored his stomach and arms... his arms were shaking. "My arms feel freaking numb... this is great! This is so good!" He yelled, excitement bubbling inside him. "Time to take this to the limit! HAAAH!" Throwing all caution to the wind, Tetsutetsu coated his entire body in steel.
"Then I'll do the same, HAAAH!" Midoriya, showing his opponent the respect he deserved, charged up to his maximum output of 22%.
"Midoriya is being tested as well." Vlad King muttered as he watched Midoriya and Tetsutetsu trade blows. "This is an endurance match of the highest caliber, going through 12 matches straight just to reach the finals. His opponents will be fully rested and he might not be able to stand after a while." He muttered, "This bracket is stacked against him, but believe it or not, it's accurate to the real world. There will be times where you'll have to face armies of villains all alone, your next opponent will be fully rested while you want to collapse right then and there."
All Might thought back to his time against All for One and his supporters 5 years ago... the long slog of a battle that ended with him barely able to kill the man himself. At the cost of his stomach.
"But he's taken to that challenge like a moth to a lamp. He'll go all out and fight his opponents to the bitter end, then rush to the next opponent without a moment's hesitation."
*CLANG* *WHAM*
"We're witnessing his fiery determination at its strongest."
"SUPER MOVE! MEGA KICK!"
*WHACK* *CRACK*
"Gaaah... aah.."
*Thud*
"Let's see how long it'll last." Vlad King muttered, as he witnessed Tetsutetsu fall to the ground.
"Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu has been defeated! Izuku Midoriya advances to the next round!"
...
"Nggh..." Midoriya clenched his fist and felt his legs grow numb. "I've used 22% for too long... but it doesn't hurt as bad as it did when I raced Tsunotori way back when... I wonder."
"Sup Midoriya." Midoriya looked up to see Uraraka standing before him, her uniform looking very wrinkled for someone who hasn't fought yet. "How ya feeling? Numb?"
"Very much so." Midoriya admitted as Uraraka laughed.
"Well you can always give up. I will probably get my butt beat by... what was her name? Ken? Either way at least I'll get the million points for my class."
"Nah I'm good." Midoriya replied, stomping his feet into the ground to remove the feeling, "I'm still good enough to beat you into the ground."
Uraraka laughed as Midnight raised her whip into the sky, "BEGIN!"
The two of them stood completely still, waiting for one to make a move first... until Midoriya raised her hand and gestured to her to move forward, "Well? Are you going to hit me with your Quirk or not?" Uraraka querched an eyebrow at him, "Don't think I'm not observant, you got something underneath your uniform. Well come on then, hit me with it."
"An obvious trap by Midoriya! Baiting his opponent to use his Quirk on him!" Present Mic yelled, causing Aizawa to sigh heavily.
"You're such a moron..."
Uraraka smirked as she walked over to him.
*Pweep*
He felt his body get lighter, and suddenly he was floating above the ground. "I know you can use your flames or your other Quirk to control yourself in mid air, so my plan wasn't to push you out of the ring."
*Ziiiip*
"So I figured I'd fight you on my turf... the air." She muttered, revealing a particular metal object that's strapped to her back to the audience.
"HOLY WHAT?! SHE HAS A JETPACK!"
"She submitted the form recently. We normally don't allow that, but you know the one in charge of accepting those forms." Aizawa muttered, remembering Nezu's extreme laughter while he approved her form.
"An air battle huh? Well alright then..." He used his flames to ascend into the air. "Come at me."
Uraraka smirked and activated her jet pack, zooming after him.
"On my way..."
...
*5 minutes prior*
"You want me to what?" Uraraka asked, as Hatsume shoved a brief case onto her.
"Use this jet pack to beat up Midoriya." She answered. "You know him, he wants a challenge above all else. So I figured I'd give his opposition as much of a boost as I can. Considering your only draw is to take away his gravitational pull, an air battle is your only option. He will be disoriented since an air battle isn't exactly where he's comfortable. Use that to your advantage."
"So you want me to use this to fight him in the air." Uraraka summarized as Hatsume nodded.
"I'm 100% sure he'll beat you, along with everyone else in his path. He'll get the snot beat out of him sure, but he can beat them. And I'm 1000% sure he'll want his opposition to fight him with all of their tricks and skills. Both to see your improvement as well as make you all improve on top of that." Hatsume added, "So, I want you to fight him at your best. Use everything you have, and anything you can think of to beat him."
...
...
"But if you know I and everyone else can't beat him, then why waste resources on me?"
"... Honestly? I don't know." Hatsume answered, "I guess I respect his drive. He's willing to trudge through this unfair gauntlet with little to no complaints. Sure he was confused by the bracket, but took it on the chin." She admitted, "Want me to be honest? I was thinking about using him as an advertisement for my other babies... but now? I want to try my best to beat him... even if it meant using something that miiight get me in trouble."
"You mean something illegal?"
"What? No!" Hatsume yelled, slightly offended, "But it will earn me a lecture from Power Loader. Let's just say... what I have planned is special. And if he can beat them and advance past me... then nothing can stand in his way. I won't exaggerate when I say that I'm the biggest obstacle he has."
"More so than Todoroki or Bakugou?"
"Leagues past them."
...
...
"Then I'm morbidly interested." Uraraka replied, strapping on the jet pack and zipping her top over it. "And I will give it my all. Putting 100% into a task, even if it's futile is the Uraraka Way. My dad taught me that."
"Words to live by." Hatsume said before turning around, "Good luck, you're gonna need it."
"Oh yeah, I will."
...
*Back to the present.*
Both Midoriya and Uraraka were in the air face to face. Naturally with the lack of a gravitational pull Midoriya was struggling to stabilize himself. "Having trouble?" Uraraka asked.
"Yeah actually." He admitted, "Trying to stabilize with no gravitational pull is pretty hard."
"Is that so? Then let me help you, OUT!"
*FWOOSH* *WHAM*
"GAH!" Taking advantage of her wide open opponent, Uraraka flew in for a gut punch. "D-Dick move..."
"Then you're going to hate THIS ONE!"
*Fwip*
Midoriya caught the punch Uraraka sent towards his face, "Am I though?" Uraraka threw another punch, but it was intercepted all the same. "Well? What's your next move?"
"... Easy." She muttered before lifting Midoriya over her head, "Super Move... Meteor Drop!" Using all of her strength, Uraraka threw Midoriya down back to the stage.
*CRASH*
Creating a mini crater from the impact. "Ooh that's gotta hurt." Mic winced.
"Uraraka is using her mobility as well as Midoriya's lack of gravity to her advantage. Making it easy for her to throw him a long distance in no time at all." Aizawa muttered.
*Crumble* *Thud*
"Oww..." Midoriya muttered as he stood back up. Shooting fire above him so he'll stay planted on the ground.
"Well Midoriya? What's your plan?"
...
...
"Question Midnight."
"Yes?"
"The out of bounds rule... does that pertain to those in the air?"
"Well yes of course, why we had to add that rule after 2 bird students got into a long game of air tag-"
"Yeah yeah whatever. What that means... is that she doesn't have much breathing room either." Firming his stance, Midoriya shot numerous fire balls into the air.
"Nggh!" Uraraka braced for the fireball impact... only to feel nothing, "Ha! You missed!"
"Did I?" Confused, she looked around to see numerous fire balls circling around her. "I usually break dance for that, but since I don't have any gravity I'll just settle for that." 'If I have no understanding of moving without Gravity, then she must be the same with her just learning how to use that Jet Pack!' "Time for me to use a super move of my own. Super Move Magma Storm!"
"S-Shoot!" Not prepared for the numerous fire balls moving directly towards her, Uraraka made some evasive maneuvers, barely evading them.
"Not bad... but that's just level one." Lighting his hands on fire he aimed them at the flying Uraraka.
"Flamethrower, rapid fire!"
...
"Should he be using his fire openly like this?" Aiba asked, sitting next to a deflated Fat Gum watching Midoriya bombard Uraraka with fire.
"Damn right." Fat Gum said with pride.
"But he's using too much of his fire. This is only the 3rd match." Aiba pointed out, "What if he over-exerts himself and starts steaming."
"He's been trainin' with his Quirk for a long time. He should know his limit." Fat Gum reassured before looking back at the match, 'Either way... he's pushing himself pretty hard this time around.'
"Gah!"
"A direct hit!" Present Mic yelled as Uraraka's jetpack started smoking.
*Kczt* *Kczt* *Peeew*
"Oh God!" Uraraka yelled as she started falling from the air angled towards out of bounds, "Mayday! Mayday! I'm going down!"
The ground grew closer and closer, and then... Uraraka closed her eyes, "So let's go there-"
*Fwip*
"Sup?" Midoriya asked, catching her right before she hit the ground.
...
...
"Y-You jerk!" Uraraka yelled, smacking him upside the head, "Why did you take so long to catch me?!"
"Oh you know, had to make sure you were completely out of bounds before I saved you."
"Huh-"
"Ochako Uraraka is out of bounds. Izuku Midoriya is our winner!"
"... Let me go."
"Suit yourself."
"Wait wai-"
*Thud*
"Ow my ass..." She muttered.
"Hey they say your ass is one of the best options for you to land on."
"First off that's wrong, I would know given my Quirk. Second, you saying my ass is fat?" Midoriya opened his mouth... but closed it again, "The fact that you're not saying anything is worrisome."
"I'm just trying to think of a good comeback but nothing is coming to mind-"
"If you two are done with your conversation, we need you two to clear the area so we can fix the crater." Midnight stated, pointing to the decently sized crater in the middle of the battle grounds. "Midoriya, meet back here in 10 minutes."
"Right!"
...
"Hey Hatsume... so I kinda-"
"Got my baby hit by a fireball which then overheated it." Hatsume finished as Uraraka nodded with slight embarrassment, "Ehh it can be fixed easily, it'd be a different story had one of the thrusters been destroyed or something."
"Y-Yeah."
"Also I gotta admit, you're a natural at flying." Hatsume praised, "You evaded quite a few fireballs before you eventually got hit, not bad for someone who just picked up using this baby."
"Y-You really think so?"
"Yeah, if you want I can make you a personal jet pack... honestly I'm surprised you didn't think to get one yourself." Hatsume stated, "I mean Zero Gravity with a jetpack equals fast travel. Basic mathematics."
...
...
'Why haven't I thought of that?' Uraraka thought.
"Would Izuku Midoriya get to the stage?"
"Well no point in dwelling on the past is there?" Hatsume asked, already making repairs to the jet pack. "Anyway you should get back to your class, I'm sure they'd like to talk to ya."
"... You're right." Uraraka said, turning around to go back to her class... then paused. "Hey... question."
"What's up?" Hatsume asked, not looking up from her jet pack.
"Is my ass fat?"
...
...
Hatsume looked up for a split second, before looking back to her jet pack.
"Oh yeah, very much so."
...
'Alright Izuku, you're going up against the General Studies student, who was it again? Ken? Who the hell names a girl Ken- Focus. Either way you have no idea what she's capable of. So keep your wits about you, and you should be fi-'
"I've been waiting for this moment... Deku." The mention of his former nickname made Midoriya look up at the girl.
"How do you know that name?"
"Are you really that stupid? Do you not recognize me?" Midoriya shook his head in confusion, "Dude I literally sat next to you in Junior High! How do you not remember that?!"
...
...
"Oh! Fire Hand Lady!"
"You didn't even remember my name?!"
"No, and it's not like you remember my name either. So turnabout is fair play."
Kamiji growled with annoyance before Midnight raised her whip in the air, "Well it doesn't matter." She activated her Quirk, turning her whole hand into fire, "I'll beat you and take your spot in the Hero Course."
'So that's what this is all about.'
"BEGIN!"
"Now die!" Kamiji yelled, sending a wave of fire towards Midoriya.
*Boom*
"A direct hit!" Mic yelled as smoke littered the impact site of the attack.
*Fwoosh*
But with a flick of his fingers, the smoke was blown away to reveal that he was not affected by the attack, "W-What?"
"Quirk Biology 101, Quirks don't only give people special abilities, but they also alter people's bodies so they can utilize said abilities. Like how Midnight has an inherent immunity to her fumes, or how Power Loader has increased bone density so he can use his claws to dig, or... in the case of you and me how our skin has evolved so it protects us from intense heat." That statement made Kamiji pale. "Of course over using our Quirks or getting hit with flames hotter than what we're capable of using on our own can bypass said defense to heat up our internal organs, but that's besides the point. I can just tell that you've focused all of your effort on training your Quirk to beat me."
"S-So what if I did?"
"Then that means you haven't developed a back up plan, should your plan fail miserably. Like... now?" Midoriya asked as he started to run towards her, "Do you even have a counter for someone who uses close combat?!" He asked, delivering a sharp punch to her stomach.
"G-Gah!" She yelled as she clutched her stomach, wincing from the pain.
"One hit and you're already down?" Midoriya asked as he shrugged, "Guess you're not coming for my spot after all... Midnight feel free to call it."
N-No... i-it can't end this way!'
'Damn it Ken I'm trying to help you!'
'I refuse to let it end this way!'
'You only want to help yourself! Caring more about your career than Mom!'
*Whack*
"Ken Kamiji is down."
'I've come too far to lose now! I need to beat him!'
"Izuku Midoriya is-"
*SLAM*
"No!" Kamiji yelled, willing herself to stand. "I'm... I'm not done!"
"I said your fire won't affect-"
"Then I'll just beat the shit out of you." Kamiji snapped as she stood ready, "I don't need a Quirk to win!"
"Is that so?" Midoriya asked before walking towards her, "Because weren't you the second one to jump on the 'Pick on the Quirkless' train?"
"Shut up! Had you not lied to me about your Quirk then I wouldn't have-"
"It shouldn't MATTER!"
*WHAM*
"Strong Quirks, weak Quirks, or no Quirks at all. People prematurely dictating people's worth from that one facet of their character is just the selfish perception of our society." Midoriya commented as he hoisted Kamiji to her feet, "Only those who will truly make it in life will win with whatever they have available. You don't need a strong Quirk... or any Quirk to win!"
"Anyone can do great things if they try!"
...
"Okay, okay, I can do this. 1...2...3!" Bracing herself, a teenager with long blonde hair put a large cotton ball coated with rubbing alcohol to her busted lip. She winced at the pain but pushed forward.
"Only those who will truly make it in life will win with whatever they have on them. You don't need a strong Quirk... or any Quirk to win!"
The girl turned her attention towards the small CRT TV, and the 7 other teens watching.
"Anyone can do great things if they try!"
...
...
'Anyone can do great things if they try...' She thought before studying the screen thoroughly.
'... U.A huh?'
...
*WHAM*
"GAH!" Kamiji yelled, gripping her sore cheek, "Why can't I hit you?!"
"Because I'm better than you!" Midoriya yelled, "Your Quirk progress may be farther ahead than mine, but I've been training everything else along with my Quirk. From hand to hand fighting, strategy, the works. So when your Quirk becomes obsolete then I have the advantage!"
*WHAM*
"Gah!" She yelled in pain, staggering after taking another direct hit to the stomach.
"As you stand, you cannot beat me. So unless a miracle happens..." He gave her a gentle shove, causing her legs to buckle and slowly fall backwards, "This match is over."
...
...
"Nggh!" But using all of her willpower, Kamiji forced herself onto her feet, refusing to accept defeat. "G-Get back here!"
"You're only hurting yourself Fire Hand Lady, stop."
"You're only hurting yourself Ken, stop."
"I'm... not... WEAK!"
Something snapped inside of Kamiji, as her entire body was enveloped in fire. "W-What?!"
"HAAAAAAH!" She let out a blood curdling scream as her tracksuit was burnt to ashes. "Training? Strategy?! Keep that shit to yourself!" She yelled, as her face reformed from the fire, "I don't give a shit how much you've worked... I'LL BEAT YOU!"
"S-Shit!" Thinking fast, Midoriya slammed his hands onto the ground, creating a dome of fire around himself, Kamiji, and Midnight.
"M-Midoriya, why are you-"
"She doesn't realize it herself!" Midoriya said, looking away as the flames fully retracted revealing her completely naked body.
"... Oh."
"NOW DIE!" Kamiji yelled, not acknowledging her state of undress as she charged to attack.
'I-I can't let this dome of fire up-'
*WHAM*
"What's wrong?! Fight me damn it!" Kamiji yelled.
'All I can do is block and deflect-
*Fwoosh*
'What?!' Midoriya asked as his hand phased through hers, 'Her Quirk is like Togata's! But how?!'
*WHACK*
"FOCUS ON ME DAMN IT!"
'For your good, and my morality, I won't.' Midoriya thought as he turned around to run, 'Whatever this new ability of hers is... it can't last long.'
"Coward! GET BACK HERE!"
*FWOOSH*
"Ghh!" 'She can still shoot fire too?!'
"DAMN IT DEKU!"
'Doesn't matter, she'll tire herself out soon.'
...
"What the hell's happening down there?" Kaminari asked, mildly annoyed, "He just blocked everyone's view of it-"
"You keep impressing me with your lack of intellect." Yanagi muttered.
"What-"
"No I wish to know as well why he did that." Shoji asked.
"Her body completely burst into flames."
...
...
"I see."
"Care to explain to the class?"
"Her sports uniform burned as well, hence why he covered the battle to not expose her naked body to the entire world." Yanagi said.
"THAT BASTARD!" Mineta yelled, bloody tears streaming from his eyes, "HE'S HOGGING THE NAKED CHICK ALL TO HIMSELF—"
*THWACK*
"Thank you." Yanagi muttered as Ojirou nodded with a nervous smile.
"N-No problem." He replied.
"But why did she suddenly burst into flames?" Uraraka asked, "I thought her Quirk was only shooting fire from her hands."
"Well that presents us with 2 options... 1.) She was withholding her full power..." But she didn't finish her thought.
"What's the 2nd option?" Uraraka asked.
...
...
"Yanagi?"
"I don't know."
"Well that's a first." Uraraka muttered, "Usually you have an answer for stuff."
"Well this isn't exactly a common occurrence." Yanagi muttered, "Which is why it's not an option but more of a theory."
"Go on...?"
"... As Midoriya would have called it, we're witnessing an evolution."
...
'Okay this is annoying!' Midoriya groaned, having made his 7th lap around the stage while dodging swings and fire blasts. 'She should have collapsed like 5 minutes ago!'
"GET BACK HE— Gack!" She clutched her chest and collapsed onto the ground, writhing in pain, "I-It burns!"
'Finally!' Midoriya thought before looking at Midnight, "Midnight, where is Aizawa and Mic?"
"Right above me!" She yelled.
"Good enough for me!" Manipulating the fire dome to expand height wise, Midoriya created a small hole where the viewing booth is, "ERASURE! NOW!"
Taking the hint, Aizawa used Erasure on Kamiji, causing the flames to die out and her to pass out from the shock.
"Great, Midnight!" Midoriya yelled, closing the hole and stripping off his track suit, "Make yourself useful and put this on her!"
Not needing to be told twice, Midnight stepped off of her podium to put his tracksuit onto the unconscious and extremely high in temperature Kamiji. "D-Done!"
"Thank god..." He muttered, letting the dome disappear and feeling a light amount of steam to emanate from his body. "No... fire for a while." He said before lifting the unconscious girl into his arms.
"W-Where are you taking her?" Midnight asked.
"Recovery Girl..." He muttered, before making his way towards the exit. "I also need to take a call."
*End of Chapter*
A/N: Ladies, gentlemen, those in between. We have done it... well I've done it, but the point still stands. This stupid chapter that has taken months because of outside forces is finally done. God now I can finally talk about the small foreshadowing that some of you caught onto but didn't figure out.
So remember the fire hand chick next to Midoriya at Aldera? Yeah she's here. And she's not the only one. I plan to use all of the known students at Aldera High in this story. That means balloon face, weird ass eyeball dude, clothes pin guy I can't wait to come up with the most enticing story for the dumbest looking dude. God this is exciting.
And it also gives me a chance to give stories to cannon characters that people don't care about. Because seriously Aldera High is the most underutilized thing in most fanfics. People usually just destroy it or just use the dirtbags Bakugou hung out with during then. But they didn't give time and effort to the others! So that's where I step in, because what people see as minor, pointless characters I see as opportunities. Opportunities to breath life into this world that people don't care about.
Anyway back to the actual chapter. This is my bid for the 'Give Ochako A Jetpack' petition. Like seriously it makes too much sense! And in before someone in the comments explains how a jet packs gives adverse effects for Ochako's Zero Gravity, well to that I say fuck physics I'm Rodney Dangerfield!
A-Anyway, Tetsutetsu happened, Ochako happened, and Ken Kamiji happened. Huh, Kamiji, I wonder where I heard that name before... Ehh it's prolly nothing.
Probably...
