Chapter 3 – The Battle Tournament
The Cavalry Battle finished, the winning team was Todoroki's. Midoriya's team passed by a small margin but passed nonetheless.
Nejire shed a small tear from joy. She saw Izuku – the one she was having a lot of interest lately – winning and felt happier from that.
"OKAY! NOW WE WILL HAVE AN HOUR BREAK, AND SMALL EVENTS WHILE IT HAPPENS… YEAH!" – President Mic yelled and announced.
Nejire processed those words and stood up. Mirio and Tamaki looked at her, and immediately knew what she was planning.
"Don't think about it! He has to prepare himself!" – Mirio sweatdropped while standing up as well.
"Yeah, don't. He needs to rest, and a next-level curious person WON'T help…" – Amajiki added, sweatdropping together with Togata
"Nope, can't wait." – Hado said as she just activated her quirk: Wave Motion to fly past them, not leaving a chance for them to catch up to her.
Her quirk allows her to manipulate and generate shockwaves; it is a powerful and versatile quirk. She can also fly with it if she uses her Shockwaves.
…
And so, she was now distant from her classmates, searching for the 1-A participant's lounge. That lounge is an agglomerate of small rooms for each participant, allowing them to have privacy; they could make strategies, rest or even leave the room if they wanted.
The place was guarded by cameras, but as long as she keeps a small profile, she won't be deemed as a threat. The safety was increased after all.
Nejire also knew a lot fo U.A's building because of her curiosity. She basically knew every nook and cranny of the school's building, so finding that was easy as breathing for her… Curious much?
After a couple of minutes, she was near the lounge, so she stopped using her quirk – to keep a small profile – and kept walking; she eventually arrived there.
'Crap… I don't know his room…' – Hado thought to herself, pondering on what to do – 'Oh, I could ask one of his classmates!' – She nodded mentally.
She chose a door randomly and walked up to it.
Knock Knock.
The door was knocked, and after some seconds it was opened; a girl with pink and messy hair that had antennas, black eyes and yellow pupils opened the door.
She looked at Hado and was confused by her presence.
"H-Hello?" – Mina spoke, trying to know what she was doing here.
"Hi! Do you know where Izuku Midoriya is located here?" – Nejire bluntly asked.
Ashido was astounded by her bluntness, and was about to question her… But she took another look at her and her question…
'SHE WANTS TO SEE MIDORIYA?!' – Mina screamed mentally.
And a smile crept onto Mina's face.
"Oh yes. He is at the third door to the right." – Mina gave the correct directions.
Nejire thanked her and walked to Midoriya's room.
'And the ship has sailed~! … I'll have to write some fanfics once this is over. Kufufufu' – Mina grinned.
…
Hado arrived at Izuku's door.
'It's now or never… Wait, why am I so flustered!?' – She pondered but remembered that she had limited time to her friends came to drag her back.
After that moment of hesitation, she knocked.
Knock Knock.
After a few seconds, Izuku opened the door, only to see a gorgeous blue-haired girl; her hair started to twirl around itself at the waist-area. Her deep-blue eyes reflecting the green-haired boy… He was on another planet.
"H-Hey? M-Midoriya?" – She said softly.
He snapped out of his daydream.
"Y-Yea? Wait, how do you know my nam-" – He started, but was quickly interrupted by her hand covering his mouth.
"Sorry, but I have to hide from my classmates for a moment… Whisper only, k?" – She whispered.
He nodded as she silently uncovered her hand from his mouth.
"What is your quirk? What can it do? How did you do that against that bi-colored hair guy? …" – And her questions kept coming… and coming… and coming… and coming… and coming… and coming… and coming… and coming… and coming… an- You get the gist of it, right?
Izuku just stared at her and tried to process everything she was questioning to him; after some time, two guys appeared. One was blonde and had a cowlick; the other had messy dark hair and pointy ears. They were running around the place, and after they saw Nejire, they quickly came here.
" *pant* … Sorry..." – The dark-haired one said, panting. It seemed like he was running desperately. The blonde bowed after he said that.
Izuku just looked at them, confused.
"F-For what?" – Izuku questioned them.
"F-For her… taking your… time…" – The dark-haired one answered, still recovering breath.
Izuku just looked at them and chuckled.
"""?""" – The three looked at the green-haired boy, confused.
"No problem! I already did everything I could for the time being" – Izuku said after his chuckling stopped.
They sighed in relief.
'Ojiro left 10 minutes ago… I have to thank him later.' – Izuku thought, remembering what Ojiro told him about Hitoshi Shinso.
"Ok. Now if you don't mind, we will catch our 'fugitive pet'." – The blonde said as Izuku and Nejire sweatdropped – "By the way, my name is Mirio Togata, nice to meet you, Izuku Midoriya." – He said as he extended his hand.
"My name is- Oh sorry, you already know." – Midoriya nervously chuckled as he shook his hand.
"His name is Tamaki Amajiki… He's kinda socially awkward when he doesn't know someone." – Izuku looked at the referred person and smiled.
He extended his hand to Amajiki.
"I feel you…" – He said, reassuring Tamaki.
Tamaki smiled and shook his hand.
"H-Heh…" – Amajiki chuckled awkwardly.
"I-I'm Nejire Hado! You c-can call me… N-Nejire…" – She said, blushing a bit and stuttering
''SHE'S STUTTERING?!'' – Tamaki and Mirio thought at the same time!
'I think this crush reached a whole new level…' – Tamaki theorized.
'Wow… Didn't see that coming…' – Mirio commented inside his mind.
Izuku saw that blush but shrugged it off.
'Not possible. Nope. Not with me… Deku…' – He denied any delusion of her blushing at him.
After all of that, they parted ways, and Izuku waited inside the room; Nejire was dragged back to her classroom by Mirio and Tamaki. She got an earful after that.
…
'Only a minute before the match starts…' – Izuku noted mentally.
And so he reviewed everything he planned; he knew about that brainwashing effect and the possible ways of avoiding it, as it was explained by Ojiro before Nejire entered the room.
"The participants Izuku Midoriya, from 1-A, and Hitoshi Shinso from the General Department come to the arena. Your match will start" – A mechanical voice called them.
And so, both of them were about to enter the arena.
"AND NOW WE WILL START THE FIGHT BETWEEN IZUKU MIDORIYA, FROM THE HERO COURSE! … HE GOT FIRST PLACE IN THE OBSTACLE RACE, AND SHOWED SPECTACULAR USE OF HIS SURROUNDINGS!"- President Mic announced yelling.
And the crowd started to cheer. Finally, the next Event would start.
"AND WELCOME HITOSHI SHINSO, FROM THE GENERAL DEPARTMENT! HE- Wait, how did he pass?" – President Mic announced him but was confused. He didn't remember anything from him.
It wasn't President Mic's fault, for Shinso used some sneaky methods with the brainwashing, not calling the attention of anyone; also, President Mic was paying more attention to the ones the crowd would be interested the most.
"A-ANYWAY, WHEN THE REFEREE – MIDNIGHT – SIGNALS, YOU MAY START THE MATCH! … YEAH!" – He yelled… again…
Midnight looked at the both of us, and we nodded; she then signaled the begin of the match.
…
'Can't wait to see more of his quirk! … I couldn't receive any answers… Those two party-poopers…' – Nejire pouted mentally.
""Achoo!"" – Tamaki and Mirio sneezed at the same time and looked back at her.
They were glaring at her, and she sweatdropped.
""Did you say something?"" – They both questioned in unison.
"Uhh…" – She was scared.
After that, they quickly looked back when President Mic announced the match.
…
Midnight signaled the beginning of the match, Izuku readied his stance and Shinso looked at him with a smug face.
"That boy… Ojiro. He was an idiot to forfeit after the Obstacle Race. Gave up too quickly. He shouldn't be here." – Shinso said as Izuku grew angrier.
"What did y-" – Izuku started, only to stop in his tracks.
"I won." – Shinso stated as his smile grew.
Everyone started to comment on that, and the huge majority didn't know about Hitoshi's quirk.
…
"What is that boy saying? He won?" – Nejire commented, confused.
The arena has mics implanted in strategical places, and the audience could hear it – the TV audience specifically.
"I don't know…" – Tamaki commented.
"Yeah… Maybe his quirk has something to do with control because Midoriya suddenly stopped walking." – Mirio theorized.
"Maybe…" – She answered, looking back at the fight.
…
"Now… Walk out of bounds." – Hitoshi demanded, and Izuku started to walk towards the limit.
Izuku was slowly walking towards the limit; he looked like he was a zombie by the way he was walking.
'I can't... control…' – Izuku thought, trying to break free from the Brainwash.
Nejire was watching it, and started to get desperate when she saw Izuku going towards the exit.
'No… Don't go!' – She thought.
Izuku was still walking, trying to free himself from the brainwashing effect.
'I have to… Get out of this…' – Izuku was trying to break free with all of his efforts.
Nejire was getting more and more desperate at each step Izuku took.
'Don't give up… Don't!' – She thought to herself, her legs trembling slightly.
Izuku was still trying, but his mind started to fade slowly.
'I… Need…' – Izuku thought, tired.
Nejire stood up.
'YOU CAN DO IT!' – She thought, almost out loud.
Izuku was on the verge of unconsciousness, but suddenly eight dark figures appeared at the entrance of the corridor; Izuku suddenly woke up and his One for All activated unconsciously. Two of his fingers started to glow red and expel little sparkling particles.
He moved two of his fingers and made a small crater, waking up from the brainwash, and surprising the audience – especially Nejire.
'What! HE MOVED TWO OF HIS FINGERS AND MADE A CRATER!' – She exclaimed mentally, but then noticed the burnt at his fingers – 'He broke them… What is the price of that quirk?' – She theorized but quickly turned her attention back to the screen.
Izuku looked back at Shinso with menacing eyes; determined eyes.
"Oh? You can create this much power with just a flick of your finger? I am JEALOUS" – Shinso provoked.
That hit close to home for Izuku… He felt the exact same things as him...
He remembered to close his mouth and not respond, and he did so.
"You know… I was born with this quirk, and it is UNFAIR. People JUDGING me because I have what they call a 'villain's quirk'." – Shinso tried another provocation.
That hit home to Izuku again. He wanted to scream 'I KNOW!' so badly, but if he did, he'd probably not be able to get out of it.
Midoriya started to charge towards Shinso not using his quirk. He wanted to prove that quirks are not everything that matters; he wanted to beat Shinso fairly. He deserves it.
'Wow… I don't know what it feels to be called a villain just because of my quirk...' – She started to ponder – 'Also, why isn't he using his quirk?' – Nejire thought to herself and quickly looked at the screen.
"You are BLESSED! Such a marvelous quirk, for a marvelous hero!" – Shinso continued, getting more desperate at each step Izuku took.
Again… Izuku is indeed blessed. He thought the same things, and agreed totally with them; he wanted to scream 'I AM!' so badly, but he couldn't.
And then Izuku took a hold of Shinso's shirt, taking care of his broken finger.
'GO IZUKU!' – Hado thought.
Midoriya managed to push Shinso a bit, but he punched Izuku's broken fingers.
"GWAH!" – Izuku yelped in pain, clutching his broken fingers with his other hand.
Shinso took this opportunity, turned Izuku around, and tried to push him out of bounds.
'NO! YOU CAN DO IT!' – Nejire was screaming internally.
Midoriya was quick with his reaction and grabbed Hitoshi's arm with his broken hand.
"GWEEEH!" – Izuku yelped in pain, but his determination and adrenaline made him continue.
Midoriya grabbed his shirt with the other hand, turned around and saved him out of bounds; Shinso hit his back on the ground…
Hitoshi Shino is out of bounds.
"THE VICTOR OF THIS MATCH IS IZUKU MIDORIYA, FROM THE HERO COURSE!" – President Mic announced the winner.
…
I'm sorry for the wait!
