I completed this chapter awhile ago but never got to uploading it on FanFic.
"Yo. Get up." I felt a hard poke on my face. Jumping up to see Bakugo and Kirishima beside me. I rubbed my eyes, wishing I was still asleep. Kirishima's huge smile hovered over me. I could see Bakugo behind him holding something in his hand.
"You have ten minutes until the next round. Aren't you hungry?" Bakugo asked.
"O." My stomach grumbled.
"Here." Bakugo threw into my lap melonpan! My favorite food. Weird that he remembered.
"Melonpan! Thank you Bakugo!" I said, picking it up and taking the first bite. The sweet fluffy bread just about melted in my mouth. I felt a sense of warmth as I got up and followed them to the waiting room.
"How was your break?" I asked.
Kirishima huffed. "So stressful. I don't know how you manage to take a nap. I couldn't stop myself from moving."
"I just needed to rest to help reset my quirk. I know if I want to win I'll have to rely on it and the speed it grants me. I need to win fast or else I have no chance of winning."
"Don't be so harsh on yourself." Kirishima said. Putting his arm around me. "We did great! Because of you guys we made it to the next round!"
I laughed with Kirishima on the way. "So what did you do Bakugo?"
"Hnn. Nothing." Bakugo said. HIs mind continued to drift away from me and Kirishima. I wonder what was going on with him.
The first match of the final tournament was against Midoriya and Shinso. I was sitting next to Kaminari as I watched Midoriya walk out of bounds. Everyone around me was yelling out to Midoriya. Kaminari was not even in his seat anymore. I looked over at Bakugo, I could tell he was thinking about the General Ed student, Shinso, and what he would do if he went up against him.
He had already decided that Midoriya was going to lose. I rolled my eyes slightly as Midoriya continued to walk closer out of bounds. One more step and Midoriya would be out of bounds. I could see his quirk activate in his left hand. A loud explosion went off against Midoriya. We saw his eyes gain focus as he turned around.
"He did it!" Iida said.
As we watched the rest of the fight, it was obvious that Midoriya was going to win.
"Good luck Sero!" I called out when he got up. He was going to need it going up against Todoroki. I could tell everyone was thinking the same.
We felt the cold against our skin as Todoroki overdid it with his amazing ice quirk. The force that is Todoroki is terrifying. I'm not sure if I would win against him. He reacted with Sero's attack with such focus and speed it may be hard to catch him with my quirk.
"Nice try!" The crowd yelled at Sero as Todoroki started to melt the ice around him.
"Nice try!" I yelled with the rest of them. Kirishima joined with me and a few of our classmates.
"At least no serious injuries." I said to Kirishima.
Soon after, Kaminari was up against the B-1 student, Shiozaki, who has vines for hair. The match was over instantly. It was just as quick as Sero's and Todoroki's match. Kaminari had to be shuffled out on a stretcher since he overdid it with his quirk. He was so confident going in.
I felt myself get nervous as my match was almost up.
Midoriya was writing in a beat up notebook mumurring to himself at the match he just witnessed.
Fourth Match was between Iida and Hatsume. Interesting match up, hero versus support. It would be interesting to see if Hatsume wins. She was the girl teamed up with Midoriya in the cavalry battle. Her equipment is amazing. It helped Midoriya and the others and is probably the reason why they were able to make it this far.
The match was interesting. Poor Iida. He probably felt so used. But he won...I guess, so he gets to move to the next round.
I'm the fifth match. I will be going up against Aoyama soon. He uses his belt to protect himself and others against his quirk. An uncontrollable laser that shoots out of his belly button. I already know I'll snap behind him and snap him out of bounds. It will be interesting to see who else I will be going up against.
"Good Luck!" Kirishima whispered as I got up to get ready for my match. I looked over at him and smiled.
"Thanks. I hope it goes ok." Aoyama was already getting ready in a different waiting room.
As Present Mic presented us to the crowd I could feel the eyes watching our every mood. Aoyama seemed completely comfortable in the spotlight. I looked up at our section and wished I could be right there with them. I envied Aoyama's free spirit that allows him to do what he pleases with no embarrassment.
"Ready Go!" Midnight called to us.
Aoyama went to direct his lazer at me. Snap. I came up from behind and grabbed both his shoulders. Snap. I let go gently.
"I'm sorry Aoyama. This is the end." I said looking over at Midnight.
"WAHHHH" Present Mic yelled. "If you blinked you missed that match folks! Okada for the win. Faster than any match yet, this is a new RECCOOOORRRDDDDD!"
Aoyama was slightly confused but he looked down. He was out of bounds.
"Aoyama is out of bounds. Okada moves on." Midnight said.
"Long distance attacks and quirks are at a disadvantage against my ability and speed. You never had a chance." I said quietly as I walked over to him. "You ok?"
"Oui, Madamoiselle. You did great out there." Aoyama gave a flashy smile as we walked back to our section. We walked together and talked about the other matches.
"Hey. Okada." We turned to the voice. It came from the entrance of 1-B. They were sitting next to us. Monoma had taunted Kaminari's match. He was a bit much. This guy, he was on the same team as Monoma.
"Yes." Aoyama waved and walked back to our stands. He had an annoying twinkle in his eyes.
"Nice moves you got there. I'm Kaibara." He walked up to me. He had dark shaggy short hair and dark brown eyes. Slightly taller than me and was lean.
"Hi." I tensed slightly. What does he want?
"I'm not anything like Monoma. Besides, he's not all that bad once you get to know him." Kaibara raised his hands and laughed. "Just wanted to say hi."
I calmed down slightly. "Sorry about that, I guess our classes don't communicate well."
"I'd like to change that." He blushed slightly. "I was taken aback by your movements and your fast thinking when you got yourself out of Bondo's glue. You seem to communicate well with your team. Anyone who could work with Bakugo must be patient."
I blushed back. It was nice to be recognized by someone outside of our class. Even though what he said about Bakugo was not entirely true it wasn't a lie either.
"Sorry, you didn't make it. I bet you would have done great." I smiled. "If Monoma wanted you on his team, it must be because he thought you'd beat us."
"That's Monoma for you." Kaibara shugged. "He's too competitive sometimes. But our homeroom teacher is just as competitive.I was glad to see that Midoriya kid win against Shinso. I think that's the guy that took all of our points at the end. I felt the same way as Midoriya did afterwards, I couldn't remember how our points slipped away like that until it was already over."
We heard Present Mic announce the end of another match. That quick again? Who was it, Yaoyorozu against Tokoyami. Both amazing students, I'm surprised it ended so fast.
"I better get back." I said as a gesture to my entrance.
"Same." But neither of us started to move. "I was wondering if I could get your number?" He held out his phone.
"O, yeah, sure." I started to type in my contact information into his phone. "I'll say hi to myself so I have your number too."
"That will be great." He let out a sign. "So, maybe this weekend we could go out sometime."
"I'd like that." I smiled. He was cute. I liked his stance and mannerisms. It would be nice to get to know him some more.
I gave him back his phone and we parted ways. As I was walking back to my seat I heard the next match be called. It was Kirishima against Tetsutetsu, another 1-B student that had it out for us.
"Where were you? Kirishima wanted you to wish him luck." I looked up at Bakugo. His arms crossed over his chest. Do I tell him the truth? I wonder if he'd be mad. Of course not.
"You were talking to that cute 1-B student!" Mina responded running up to me. "Aoyama mentioned that he stopped to talk to you. The boy thinks you're super cute. He's not wrong. Did you do it? Give him your number?" She giggled with delight.
"His name is Kaibara. And yeah, we exchanged numbers." I blushed heavily and refused to meet Bakugo's gaze. I was sitting in front of Bakugo next to Kirishima but suddenly felt that it was too close to the explosive boy.
"Let's talk about it some more." Mina said happily.
"Don't be stupid." Bakugo cut in. Now he wasn't even looking at me. "She needs to focus on her next match."
Bakugo was right. I needed to focus on my next match. Mina nodded. "After this is all over, you have to give me the details!" She laughed before going back to her seat.
I took my seat as well.
I looked over to see Uraraka was no longer in her seat. Her ice tea left to melt on the seat. I hope everything is ok. She is such a sweet girl and going up against Bakugo is going to be challenging.
I turn back to the match in front of me. Their quirks were so similar, Kirishima and Tetsutetsu both have quirks that allow their body to withstand an extensive amount of force and also use their quirk to deliver deadly blows. However, it seems like this is a disadvantage to both of him as neither of them were getting ahead of each other.
They both KO'd at the same time from the same type of blow. Midnight announced that the winner would be decided on a simple contest. I looked up to see that Bakugo had already left for his match against Uraraka. He wouldn't go easy on her.
Mina and Hagakure came over after they saw that Bakugo had left.
"Well?" Hagakure said as she sat beside me. Mina was behind me, leaning on my shoulder. "What's his name?"
"Kaibara." I answered. My phone was in a locker in the waiting room. I didn't want it to distract me during the tournament.
"He's quirk is really cool. Not as flashy as Bakugo's but effective." Hagakure answered. "He was in my training area for the entrance exams. His arms can spin."
"I wonder what else spins." Mina smirked and started to giggle.
"Mina!" Hagakure and I exclaimed. Iida looked over at us disapprovingly.
"You guys, the match is about to start!" He got up and waved his arm at us. We blushed and turned back to the arena.
Bakugo looked as ready as ever. His eyes never left the other side as Uraraka came out. Present Mic was really getting into this round. He obviously wanted Uraraka to win. I felt bad. Shouldn't the presentators be unbiased?
Uraraka was definitely seen as the underdog. But without her, her cavalry tema would haven't made it. She also didn't do that bad in the obstacle race either. She is strong and has worked very hard to get here. No one should underestimate her.
I turned back to Bakugo. He was not underestimating her. I could see it in his eyes. He may have done better but if she touches him, it's over. His quirk will hopefully allow him to keep her at bay.
"Do you think Bakugo is going to win?" Mina asked us.
"Totally." Hagakure said. "He has this in the bag."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." I cut her off. "Uraraka has a unique quirk that may allow her to have the upper hand. It's all about reaction time and strategy.
"Who are you going up against next? Hagakure asked.
"Tokoyami" I turned to him. He was turned to look back and nodded at me. I smiled. I'm not sure of his quirk. Dark Shadow. It seems to be a physical manifestation of a bird. If that is the case I won't be able to snap through it.
"Are you going to try the same thing? Mina whispered.
"I don't know yet. I'm not sure if that would work." I watched as Bakugo continued to try to blast Uraraka out of the arena.
Final exams are upon me and I will focus my time and energy (hopefully) on studying for exams.
