BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP …. Thunk
A groan is heard through the room as sunlights peeks in through All Might curtains, the air is warm and the sound of the bed creaking and weight shifting is heard. The sliding of socks on the floor is heard as Izuku Midoriya wakes up to start his Monday. He changed from his All Might designed pajama shorts and dons on grey shorts and changes his bed shirt, puts on deodorant, and picks out a simple black compression shirt and a white shirt over even putting in a few spare white shirts if the one he wore burned off. He gets a light jacket, changes socks and wears the thin soled shoes All Might gave him months back, and fills up a red All Might themed water bottle, and places it in a bag that All Might gave him right before starting UA.
Midoriya puts the pins he got with Mina days ago on the strap of the bag, combing through his forest of green hair. He writes a simple note for his mom since he's leaving before her today. Before he leaves, checking for his phone, a charger, wallet, and keys.
He decided to take his bike to UA since it was still early.
Riding through the streets, Midoriya used his quirk to get there faster, getting rid of wind resistance so he'd go faster. He was moving about as fast as his train, but he did have to make some twists and turns and got there in an hour.
Midoriya walked over to Gym Gamma where he saw a lump of yellow and a man in black with tall hair.
"Ayy, Midoriya! Good morning! Making sure you got here early, we sent you that email yesterday to show up early." Present Mic greeted with some finger guns
"Yeah, I got it. Good morning Mic, Aizawa." Midoriya responded receiving a grunt from Aizawa who stood up.
"We need to supervise the spars, you are the class rep, but we're also here to show the teachers how you're doing with your combat. Being a hero isn't always saving people, you have to fight as well. So we're going to record the spars." Aizawa debriefed Midoriya. "Put your bike away."
Midoriya did just that, he created a crater and put his bike in it, and covered it up with a layer of earth.
The trio walked into the empty gym, Midoriya noticed the wall was now fixed, and Midoriya got to work making the stage and a seating area for the two teachers and other students.
"So you're having one match at a time?" Present Mic asked
"Yeah, I figured to have some sort of tournament type thing, since it's probably going to be one of the final things in the Sports Festival. We can do 2 matches at a time and you guys can record separately."
"Let's do that, split it in half." Aizawa said as he took a drink from a little pouch.
Midoriya adjusted the large ring to two rings with commentators booths by them. They both had cameras and set them up.
"So Midoriya, are you excited for the Sports Festival?" Present Mic asked
"Definitely, I'm excited to show off my skills to the world." Midoriya replied.
"I bet, after the USJ, I'm sure you'd be able to wow some people." Mic replied.
Aizawa gave Midoriya the little projector device in order to display the matches for the day. There were going to be about 18 matches in that one day.
Soon Midoriya began practicing his water bending with the water tentacles. Practicing with grabbing, throwing ice, how to increase his mobility with it and then Kaminari and Kirishima walked in with Mina.
"MIDORIYA!" The trio yelled out
It distracted Midoriya as his concentration on the water loosened and splashed himself with water.
"Hey guys, you're here early. Wait, what time is it? I think this is supposed to start around 8:30ish." Midoriya jogged over to them, steaming as he was evaporating the water off of him.
"It's 8. We decided to get here early, also we wanted to check out and maybe get an edge on the competition." Kirishima replied
"Well, all I can really say is you're actually getting recorded by Mic and Aizawa." Midoriya informs them and motions towards the two teachers chatting away.
"So they can record but Sero and I can't?" Kaminari looks offended
"It's for the teachers to look at how we do. For these next eighteen matches."
"Eighteen?!" Mina asks
"Yeah, eighteen. It could be nineteen. I'm only in two matches, and I'm also watching to make sure people don't get hurt too bad. Go pick a spot on the stands and sit and wait for the others to come in." Midoriya asks them as they all walk to the stands, but Kaminari stays behind.
"So how was your date with Mina?" he asks playfully punching Midoriya's arm
"It wasn't a date. But it went well." Midoriya replied
"Wait, it wasn't a date?"
"Yeah, it was a hang out, why? Did she say otherwise?"
"Well, I think she interpreted it as a date."
"Man, first Uraraka now Mina."
"What happened with Uraraka?"
"Deku! How are you?" is the cheerful voice that comes from the entrance
"Uraraka, hey, I'm doing good this morning, and you?" Midoriya asks with a concerned face.
"Oh, pfft, yeah I'm fine. Hey Kaminari!" She greets the electric teen. "Oh, Deku, here, my mom wanted me to get these to you, she reused the container. It's for you and your mom, for the food from dinner on Friday." She handed him a bag with the containers and some cookies in one of them.
"Oh, tell her I said thanks once this is all over. I appreciate it!" Midoriya beams her a smile. "You can go get a seat over with Kirishima and Mina."
"Alright!"
"Soooo, what happened Friday?" Kaminari asked once the brunette was out of earshot.
"Ask Kacchan." Midoriya froze at the thought of what Bakugo might say. "Actually, no, I won't tell you and don't ask Kacchan."
"Alright, I won't ask, but one more thing."
"Alright, what is it?"
"Actually two more things."
"Get on with it Denki."
"Aww, are we friends now? Anyways, when are we going to train me? And who am I fighting?"
"Yes we're friends, we can start that training tomorrow after the spars, and it'll be a surprise."
"Awesome to all of those, also, what should I call you? Izuchan? Izuku? Zuku? What?"
"Just call me Izuku, I'll be fine with that."
"Awesome Izuchan." Kaminari scurried off towards the seats in fear of getting burned, frozen, buried, or blasted by the wind.
"Midoriya, good to see you." an orange haired girl came in wearing her UA p.e uniform.
"Kendo, good to see you, and the others as well!" Behind Kendo were the class 1-B students who were there for spars.
"Good to see you Elemental Man!" Hiryu Rin exclaimed
"Huh, others? Just who do you think we are?" Monoma tried to get Midoriya mad again but was slapped upside the head by Kendo
"Midoriya! Who am I fighting today?" Tetsutetsu exclaimed looking hungry for a battle
"Nice to see you Midoriya." Shiozaki greeted.
"Ah, good to see you again Midoriya, you're lookin fiiiine." Setsuna flirted after seeing Midoriya wearing a form fitting shirt.
"Good to see you guys, you can take a seat over at the large seating area and put your things there." Midoriya instructed with a red face from Setsuna's teasing comment, Kendo had whispered to him that Setsuna just likes to be a tease.
Midoriya stood by their marking attendance of who showed up, soon the rest of 1-A showed up, and a purple haired student from general studies, Hitoshi Shinso.
Once everyone was in a seat, Midoriya made a pedestal for himself and announced some rules.
"Good morning everyone, glad you all could make it. We're doing two spars at a time. I've got a premade list." Midoriya was interrupted by the tall blue haired teen.
"Midoriya, there are an odd number of students here! How do you plan to sort this out?" Iida asked while moving his arm robotically
"I'll be joining the spars with you guys for the first couple of rounds. Now, I've watched over spars with my partner, Vice Rep Yaoyorozu, and just to be clear, do not severely wound the other, my healing can't heal big wounds, and you'll wind up with Recovery Girl for most of the day. You can knock the other off, knock them out, immobilize them, or get them to surrender to win. Any questions?"
"Yeah, who are we fighting?" Tetsutetsu asked
"I've got the list right here." Midoriya says as he drops down a disk that projects a list of the matches. "It'll randomize the next match and the one after that." Midoriya explains as the students try to find their names and who they'll fight.
Uraraka vs Kaminari, Midoriya vs Shiozaki, Mina vs Kirishima, Inasa vs Rin, Shinso vs Iida, Yaoyorozu vs Jiro, Tetsutetsu vs Ojiro, Hagakure vs Kendo, Monoma s Aoyama, and finally Shoji vs Setsuna.
"It's ten matches right now, first four, let's go." Midoriya orders once people have found out who they're fighting.
Kaminari talks to Midoriya for a quick moment.
"Uraraka, really?"
"She wanted a challenge, plus it's also one for you if you just go all out at once. Be smart." Midoriya offers those words of advice.
"Are you guys ready?!" Mic asks as he receives two thumbs up from Uraraka and Kaminari and announces for them to start. Meanwhile over on the Aizawa side, the recording light in on and Midoriya and Shiozaki do a quick bow and begin their match up.
Shiozaki unleashes her vines out towards Midoriya, lashing out wildly. Midoriya senses that the vines are still just plants and plants have water in them. Midoriya does a pulling action towards the vines, it's just a random move to the audience, and it proves futile in the moment. Midoriya is snagged up by the vines and is tightly wrapped up.
"Do you submit?" Shiozaki asks
"Let me answer that for you." Midoriya responds as the vines covering him begin to smoke
"So Yoarashi, who do you think is going to win?" Yaoyorozu asks
"I don't know. I want Izuku to win because he's my friend, but I also want Shiozaki to win because I like her. Midoriya's quirk can probably allow him to burn away the vines, but to what degree are the vines going to burn and we don't know the limit to her power. Shiozaki's vines are powerful, and with those thorns Midoriya is not a happy camper."
"Can't Midoriya pull the water out of the vines?" Jiro asked
"I'm not sure he can right now, on a full moon I've seen Midoriya pull water out of the air, but i honestly don't know if he can pull off those feats right now, it takes a lot of concentration from him to do it, he also doesn't pull out enough water either."
"Wow, so unless Midoriya does something with fire he probably won't win." Kirishima asks
"Maybe, I'm not sure. Why do you think Midoriya paired up Kaminari and Uraraka?"
"Their quirks." Yaoyorozu responds. "Uraraka needs to touch something or someone in order to make them float. Kaminari's quirk right now is a area-of-effect type quirk since he can't control where the output is. He tends to go full force which leaves him defenceless. If he goes all out and it doesn't reach her, Uraraka could win, but if he's able to defeat her without going all out he could win."
"Huh, interesting, why do you think he paired up everyone with each other?"
"I think that was random." Yaoyorozu responds.
'Ugh, I can't get close, his damn quirk keeps shocking me every time I get close, and he's not going dumb.' Uraraka thinks to herself as she keeps running at Kaminari and jumping back when he touches her. 'He keeps using it just before we make contact, I knew this was going to be a challenge because I asked Deku to make it one.'
Uraraka keeps going in feeling similar degrees of shock causing her to get back as Kaminari get her closer and closer towards the edge of the ring. She keeps going in and feels the shocks getting weaker.
'He's using up his charge like a battery.' She thinks to herself, now with more motivation to go in and feel the shocks lessen.
'Dammit, my charge is going away, fuck, what am I going to do? I've been going on a pushing forward, but I've only been blocking her hits.' he thinks to himself. 'I've got to go on the offensive.'
The two block and unleash jabs at each other for a few moments and Kaminari didn't realize it because a stamina match once he began to do dumb, leading to Jiro and Yaoyorozu to laugh at Kaminari as he started saying, "Whey.". Uraraka took the advantage and dragged Kaminari off the stage in zero gravity.
Back with Midoriya and Shiozaki, Midoriya's arms let him break out of the thorn prison from bursting into flames, landing on the floor and using his earthbending to sink into the ground.
"Where'd he go?" Jiro asked
"He went into the ground, he's going to try and incapacitate her." Inasa informed her
Midoriya dug through and felt he was under Shiozaki and jumped up from the ground and launched the girl into the air. He used the air to knock her off the stage but her vines grew and latched into the ground getting her back on the platform. She didn't touch the ground, using her vines to hold her in the air. She unleashed bundles of vines towards Midoriya like spears, Midoriya retaliated with chucking large rocks at her, but she seemed to have an unbreakable defence when her vines just pushed the rocks out of the way.
The next match had to start, it was Mins vs Kirishima. Once their match started, Mina immediately began to fling her acid onto Kirishima, but Kirishima was surprisingly fast enough to not get hit by the acid. Kirishima rushed her and hit her with a shoulder to push her back, but Mina left her mark. Smoke was coming off of Kirishima and he activated his hardening to see if it would prevent the melting.
"Sorry Mina!" Kirishima apologized as he shouldered her again off the stage.
That match ended relatively quickly and halted with a scream from Kirishima as the acid kept burning.
"What did I say," Midoriya was yelling as he unleashed jabs of fire at Shiozaki. "About seriously injuring someone?!" Midoriya pushed forward two fists and let loose a stream of fire, burning away Shiozaki's vines, and jumping towards her with a pillar of earth and pushed her off the stage.
"Shiozaki!" Inasa rushed over to the vine haired girl who had smoking hair.
"Oh damn, Midoriya has some power." Setsuna commented to her class
"Well, he is a recommended student like you, so it's to be expected he and the other recommended students have powerful quirk." Rin replied
Shiozaki got up and ran her fingers through her hair, getting the charred parts off.
"I'm sorry. Are you hurt? Did I burn you? I can heal it if you'd like." Midoriya asked Shiozaki as he helped her up while the next four people went to the stage for their spars.
Inasa vs Rin with Mic, and Shinso vs Iida with Aizawa.
"Midoriya, I'll be fine, I used my vines to cover myself at the last moment, and the force of the rock pushed me off." Shiozaki replied.
"You gave a good match!" Midoriya offered good words to her
Meanwhile on the stage, Hiryu Rin was having trouble fighting Inasa
"What the hell!?" He shouted as he felt the wind around him undoing his tight hair.
Inasa spoke almost no words through the confrontation, creating an array of wind currents. He created twists and turns of the wind to allow him to float in the air, his serious face was intimidating to the scaly 1-B student.
"Do you have passion?!" Inasa asked as the winds began to pick up even more
"What the hell is he going on about?! This is the guy Shiozaki is seeing?" Rin spoke to himself trying to devise a plan, he shot out some scales, but they just got caught in a highway of wind and were shot back at him, nicking his skin. "I saw the direction they went, they go around him, as if it's like gravity." Rin began to calculate his options of what to do. But he was taking too long for Inasa.
"I'll take that as a no." Inasa rose his right hand, palm wide and open, and swiped down. The wind around him picked up like a hurricane and pushed Rin off the stage.
"Dammit… I was just about to do something." Rin grumbled to himself as he stood up and walked over to the seating area, and Yaoyorozu and Jiro went to start their match.
Shinso did not fare well with Iida, as Iida didn't speak to him. He was immediately rushed and kicked in the gut, after that happened he rolled off the stage. Midoriya rushed by to heal Rin and asked Shinso if he felt fine.
"Don't worry about me." Shinso replied coldly.
Tetsutetsu and Ojiro walked over to their stage and immediately got to work.
Midoriya knew Tetsutetsu's quirk, but now what it actually looked like. He knew he turned to metal, but didn't expect how it would look. He looked like a pre-quirk comic book character.
Tail swing and a block, punch and a block with a tail, Ojiro utilized his martial arts background to his use against the wild flurry Tetsutetsu went for.
Through this bout, Midoriya tested if he could feel for earth impurities in Tetsutetsu, but couldn't find any, he turned into pure metal. Meaning Midoriya couldn't control Tetsutetsu's movements, unless it was correlated to the amount of metals in Tetsutetsu's system.
"Hey Kendo, what's Tetsutetsu's relation of his quirk and diet?" Midoriya asked the 1-B rep while taking out his notebook, he assumed she'd know everyone's quirk in her class.
"I think it has to do with the amount of iron in foods, he always eats high iron foods. Why?" she replied, unknowing that Monoma was listening in
"What's this?! Class 1-A's Rep want to try and know a weakness?! Very much like the conniving type of perso-" Monoma was quickly stopped by Setsuna with a hands over his mouth, but no arms.
"You've always gotta start something with people don't you?!" Setsuna sounded angry at him, Midoriya looked over to her and noticed her hands were gone, they were on Monoma's mouth.
"I-I was just asking because I can't sense any impurities in his metal form. I wonder how it would match up with Kirishima's hardening." Midoriya began to mumble to himself about the possibilities of the two fighting each other.
With Jiro and Yaoyorozu, Jiro unleashed her earphone jacks as a way to distract Yaoyorozu, but her opponent was prepared for something like this and materialized a thick shield. The jack pierced it and were stuck in it, Yaoyorozu threw the hunk of metal at Jiro and charged in with a metal staff swiping Jiro off her feet and being in a dominant position.
"Do you yield?" She asked, it sounded like more of a command
Jiro looked her opponent in her eyes, she snaked a jack over to Yaoyorozu, thinking she wouldn't see it.
"I take your movements and silence as a no." Yaoyorozu roze the staff and swiped down, and Jiro closed her eyes.
Thunk
Jiro's eyes opened to see Yaoyorozu holding onto the staff that was impaled into the ground.
"Do. You. Submit?" Yaoyorozu had fire in her eyes.
"I do." Jiro spoke. Yaoyorozu's expression completely changed from 'Battle Mode' to her usual self. She helped Jiro up to her feet and cleared the stage as the next two girls came over for their fights, Hagakure and Kendo.
Back with Tetsutetsu and Ojiro. Ojiro was getting on the ropes after hitting metal constantly. Tetsutetsu saw this and went even more all out, even to go as far as to yell out 'Plus Ultra!'
Tetsutetsu helped Ojiro up and they both went to their respective seats. Next coming up was Aoyama and Monoma.
As Aoyama made his way to the stage, Monoma slapped Kaminari upside the head.
"Hey!? What the hell man?" Kaminari, Mina, and Kirishima yelled at Monoma.
"Oh my bad, not my fault your big head got in the way of my hand." Monoma taunted
Hagakure took off her clothes throughout the fight with Kendo. All Kendo could follow was the sight of clothes moving around, she would enlarge her hand and swipe only to feel a couple jabs in her back and a kick on the back of her knee. She swiped her hand back to hit nothing.
"Dammit where are you?!" Kendo began to get pissed by these guerilla tactics from the invisible 1-A student.
Kendo heard a snicker from her left, and swiped her hands in that direction and wind picked up. Clothes were flung on the invisible girl revealing her position. Kendo rushed the position and gave Hagakure and kick and an enlarged punch flinging her off the stage.
"Dang, you can really pack a punch, if you know what I mean, haha." Hagakure joked as she put her clothes back on.
"My bad, you were great though!" Kendo encouraged
The two walked to their seats as Shoji and Setsuna prepared their bout.
Aoyama got cocky. The two blondes taunted each other, Aoyama chattered on about his quirk, while Monoma ducked, jumped, dodged every naval blast from Aoyama, Monoma got closer and closer, and once he got into his position, he gripped onto Aoyama's shoulders telling him.
"I won." before unleashing a large shock.
"What the hell?!" 1-A students exclaimed.
"How does he have my quirk?" Kaminari exclaimed
"Maybe he's another electric type?" Mina offered a questionable suggestion.
"I don't know, but I'm gonna get Aoyama." Kirishima walked over to pick up the passed out blonde who mumbled "sparkle sparkle sparkle."
"This is the final match of the first round!" Midoriya called out. It was Shoji vs Setsuna.
1-A vs the 1-B recommended student.
Shoji rushed her with arms out as she, fell apart?
Her body split into many different pieces and were flung at Shoji, getting hit in random directions, He couldn't do much but try and catch the limbs, but he already grabbed 6 pieces and the rest of them continued to fly around him hitting him, it was like a swarm of bees. Shoji was taking too much, Setsuna had pointed teeth like Kirishima and Tetsutetsu, and the bite marks that were being left on his body were irritating for him, even cuts from her fingernails. Shoji was getting overwhelmed by the number of body parts hitting him, he swiped at the air hoping to hit bits of her by chance, but once he hit pieces out of the ring they flew back in and hit him. After about 5 minutes of being pelted Setsuna came back to one piece looking unscathed, while Shoji looked beat with bites and cuts.
Setsuna's quirk needed a break to rest after 5 minutes so she wouldn't need to regenerate limbs, those would take a while to come back.
"Who do you think has this match?" Yaoyorozu asked Inasa
"Well, I want to say Shoji, but Setsuna's given him a beating through 5 minutes. She's fully formed now so Shoji could rush in and take her out with a swipe, she's another recommendation student so she probably has training with her quirk for short rests."
"And if she does she can just wail on him again."
"Correct."
Their assumptions on Setsuna were proven correct.
Shoji took his chances and rushed in to swipe at her, with a solit hit landing, but splattering pieces of her into the air, which turned into another beat down swarm.
Shoji continued to get wailed on in random areas he couldn't predict. He was downed to his knees from too many hits on the back of his legs, and he was curled up in a ball protecting most of his body with his arms.
"Halt!" Midoriya bellowed as he jumped over towards Shoji. "Do you want to continue or give her the victory for today?"
Shoji was breathing heavily. He didn't want to lose, but he felt that he couldn't even get an opening on her. Her rest time was too quick for him to get a breather and try and get the jump on her.
"I'll let her take the win today." Shoji replied with disappointment in his tone.
"Match goes to Tokage Setsuna!" Midoriya rose his hand to the green haired winner. "Don't be hard on yourself man. You've got the chance for tomorrow to take a win, and you can even train your quirk in the meantime." Midoriya tried to offer words of comfort, or even encouragement.
"You're right. Can I get a healing session Midoriya?" Shoji asked, and even hoped to chat with the class rep.
"Yeah sure." Midoriya patted him on the arm and told everyone. "Gonna take a break! I have a healing session! Take a look at the list!" Midoriya got the little gadget that displayed the new lists.
Uraraka vs Mina, Midoriya vs Tetsutetsu, Kendo vs Iida, Monoma vs Yaoyorozu, and finally Setsuna vs Inasa.
"Let's go to the locker room." Midoriya offered as he lead the way.
Midoriya began to let the water run in the shower and let it turn into a large ball of water, which he used to cover up Shoji's arms. Midoriya put his energy into the water and it glowed, he moved the water around his body as the cuts and bruises began to slowly heal.
"So how'd your things this weekend go Midoriya?" Shoji asked remembering a previous conversation.
"Well, Mina is a really cool person, but again, I can't see her much else as anything but a friend. We had plenty of laughs and such, but I didn't really feel anything like romance." Midoriya recalled the event after waking up in the Bakugo household. "I also hung out with Uraraka, but I fear that I messed up our friendship."
"What happened? You don't have to answer it if you don't want to."
"Well, okay, uhh, so I talked to Kacchan about it, she kissed me."
"Wow, jumping major steps."
"The thing is, is that I don't really like her as anything more than a friend." Those words were uttered as the locker room door opened. During the beginning of the break, Mic and Aizawa left for their lunch leaving the teens there alone.
"Midoriya better have fire in him!" Tetsutetsu exclaimed as he was amping himself up for a fight.
"The way he fought Shiozaki, and looked damn fine doing it, I'm sure he's got enough fire for you too steely boy." Setsuna responded slyly as she eyed the tall Inasa Yoarashi.
"What do you think he's going to throw at me? Some rocks? I can take it. Some fire? I can take it. Air, I can take it. Water, I can take it. Midoriya, is going down." Tetsutetsu throw punches in the air.
"What if he just immobilizes you?" Rin asked, he lost his match but wanted to see the 'Elemental Man' in action even more.
"I'll dig myself out!"
"And if he picks up the ground out from under you?"
"I'll break through the ground!"
"You must think you have everything planned huh?" Monoma teased as he placed his hand on Tetsutetsu's shoulder. "Please, that 1-A rep is too confident in his abilities. He relies too much on his quirk."
"He can control metal now too, I almost forgot about that." Rin replied wiping the excitement on Tetsutetsu's face. His quirk IS metal.
"Please, I overheard him, you're pure iron, he can't control that. He needs impurities in your metal Tetsutetsu. We'll defeat 1-A today and proclaim victory!" Monoma exclaimed adding in his cackle.
On the other side, some of 1-A chatted, that being Iida, Mina, Kirishima, Kaminari, and Uraraka.
"Do you have some sort of idea on how I can beat the class 1-B rep?" Iida asked his classmates
"Not really Iida, maybe just jet in and kick her off?" Uraraka offered
"Maybe some kickass hand-to-hand!" Kaminari offered moving his arms and legs in different fighting positions he'd seen in old movies.
"Yeah! That would be so manly!" Kirishima added in
"Maybe pushing her off could work?"Mina offered grabbing onto Uraraka shoulders and nudging forward a little. "Oh, Uraraka, how'd the dinner go with Midoriya? I was going to ask him when we hung out a few days ago but it slipped my mind."
Uraraka's stomach dropped from remembering the dinner with him. Iida noticed it, he cared for Uraraka, but he was just being a friend. He was like the class's dad.
"You know, I'm going to check on Midoriya and see how much longer the break is going to go." Iida said as he marched on over to the locker room. He opened the doors to hear Midoriya utter the words.
"The thing is, I don't really like her as anything more than a friend."
"Really? You guys would seem cute together, but also, do pros even date?"
Iida was listening in on the conversation, rude as it may be, he wanted to try and hear more to tell his friend.
"Some do, but it's risky. You don't want to have the love of your life be in danger, and as a hero you're almost always in danger."
'Okay, I can see that aspect.' Iida thought to himself.
"You're right. Even my parents were nervous about me attending here." Shoji told him. "It's also hard when you're not even sure if you'd live to see them again. The longest living pros are a few generations before us, early quirk days. Their quirks weren't as strong as they are now."
"That's true, due to this thing called the 'singularity' where quirks would get so strong in the future they'd probably cause a catastrophe of biblical proportions.."
"Yeah, but anyways, do you want to get into the specifics of what happened with you and Uraraka?"
"Well, I told her she was pretty to her face, and she held my hands for a moment, she met my mom and my mom likes her. But I referred to her as being only my friend."
"Ohhh, so she kissed you because she probably thought she could change your mind about your feelings towards her."
"Probably? I'm not sure. The kiss felt nice, but it didn't change the way I see her, but I feel maybe, nervous? Is that the word? I feel like that sums up the way I feel about talking to her again."
'Uraraka didn't tell me all of this. She only said the dinner was nice and that it ended on a sour note. I should probably talk to her, see if she's alright with it all.' Iida knew Uraraka had some feeling for the class rep.
"And with Mina?"
"We just went to an arcade, messed around in a clothing store, ate, had a small photoshoot at a park bench, I took her home, and she held my hand on the train. There could be something there."
Iida got a can on orange juice and left through the whole conversation. He felt like he HAD to tell her. But Midoriya didn't finish his words.
"But I wouldn't date her. She's nice and all, very groovy, but I just want to be friends with people, and I feel bad that things with Uraraka might be sour, and things with Mina might go sour as well. I might talk to Yaoyorozu when we do some class rep things after this. I'm almost done with your healing, you want anywhere else done?" Midoriya asked. He had healed his arms and legs, all that was left were the scratches on his face.
"I'll be fine, little face wash and I'll be out. I'm going home to train my quirk so can you let me know who won today?" Shoji asked
"Of course. See you later." Midoriya waved goodbye as he went to the middle of the area.
He stomped as he rose high and decided on the matches.
"Tetsutetsu, get on stage, Inasa and Setsuna, get on the other. Kendo, Mina, can you record the matches?" He ordered and asked
The two agreed and the fighters went to their respective parts. Kendo watched over Inasa and Setsuna's match, while Mina watched over Midoriya and Tetsutetsu's match.
"Begin!" Mina and Kendo exclaimed as the four started their matches.
Tetsutetsu rushed in to try and take Midoriya out swiftly. His confidence was immense after hearing Midoriya couldn't control him in his metal form.
Setsuna broke apart and the different parts flung towards Inasa, but she couldn't get hits when he used his quirk to create a strong wind.
Tetsutetsu turned his arms into steel, dug his hands into the ground and flung dirt into his opponent's eyes.
"That's so not manly!" Kirishima yelled out with an agreement from a few others
Through the cheers Iida leaned over to Uraraka and whispered to her.
"I know you like Midoriya, and I have some news, and some things I overheard you and our class rep did before the weekend." Iida leaned in. "Do you want to hear it or no?"
Uraraka's hands gripped tightly and nodded a little.
"I heard Midoriya's date with Mina went well, and he 'feels something there.' I also heard that you kissed him, in an attempt to make him like you. Is that last part true?"
"It is, I-I just wanted him to like me as well. You already know I like him. I-I just… " Uraraka took a deep breath and let it out and stayed silent for a moment while looking at Midoriya dodge Tetsutetsu with his eyes closed and Mina cheering him on.
Inasa's match went by swiftly. He controlled the air and got Setsuna's body trapped in a ball, she reformed and he dropped her on the floor.
"Inasa has won! Mina and Uraraka's match will begin! Rin, watch over Midoriya and Tetsutetsu's match!" Kendo announced.
"Iida, I'm going to forget about my feelings for him." Urara stood up with fire in her expression. "I'm going to kick ass today." she went off to the stage.
"C'mon Midoriya! You got this!" Rin exclaimed as a fanboy to the hero-in-training.
Midoriya bobbed and weaved through Tetsutetsu's attacks.
"Quit dodging! Let me hit you!" Tetsutetsu roared. He was getting tired of being on the offensive so much, but he still hadn't let up too much.
Midoriya hadn't trained his metal bending, and he can't use fire, if Tetsutetsu gets too hot in his metal form it would only blow up in Midoriya's face by getting burns from hits. There wasn't any water either to use against him. Air would just go around, and would probably just feel like a cool breeze on his steel body. Midoriya remembered his training with All Might, about how physically durable his body is from One For All. Midoriya jumped back, and covered his arms in a stone armor.
"You want to hit me?!" Midoriya yelled out as a challenge still with his eyes closed.
"Hell yeah!" Tetsutetsu encased his entire body in metal and created sparks from hitting his fists together.
Midoriya jumped towards Tetsutetsu with his arms in an x formation.
The two clashed in a hand-to-hand fight. Punches collided on each others sides, arms, faces.
The two bobbed and weaved each other's jabs, uppercuts, hooks, kicks, but took the straight on hits with smiles. Tetsutetsu was surprised with Midoriya's durability, it didn't match the way he was dodging as if he was some leave blowing in the wind, he turned into a boulder that took the hits and stood its ground.
"Damn, how can Midoriya take all those hits?" Kaminari asked
"Honestly, I don't even know, he doesn't take that many hits, especially getting hit by metal limbs." Kirishima responded.
Everyone watched their fight, hearing the clang of rocks and metal, the thuds of metal on Midoriya's head.
Tetsutetsu threw a mean right hook and knocked Midoriya down.
"Midoriya, can you stand?" Rin rushed over to the green mess on the floor and shook him awake.
"Hm? Oh, Rin, what's up, Tetsutetsu won?" Midoriya groggily asked as he rubbed the left side of his face. "Does my face have a dent? Haha" Midoriya chuckled as the two 1-B students helped the 1-A rep up.
"Didn't expect you to be so tough. You're study." Tetsutetsu patted Midoriya on the back and helped him over to the stands. Monoma and Yaoyorozu's match started as Rin went back to record the matches. As Monoma walked over to the stage, he touched Rin.
Back in Mina and Uraraka's fight, they were overlooked by the slugfest occurring next to them.
Uraraka stayed low and rushed Mina as the pink girl flung some irritant acid, it all missed as Uraraka got close and clocked Mina in the jaw with an uppercut and a left hook to Mina's right side. An audible screech was heard. Mina backed up but Uraraka kept rushing in, she had some small experience with combat from training. The brunette tripped Mina as she fell to the ground Uraraka asked if Mina would yield.
"Yeah." Mina said softly, not expecting such aggression from the girl with pink blushes, and wouldn't want to face even more from it.
Uraraka didn't help her get up, only walking over towards Iida.
Mina got up and felt some bruising on her side as she walked over by Kirishima and Kaminari.
"Setsuna! Can you watch over the match between Iida and I?" Kendo asked her class mate
"Sure." Setsuna replied as she went over to the stand to finish up one of the last matches of the second round.
"Mina, you alright?" Kaminari asked once Mina took a seat in front of him.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Just didn't expect something like that from Uraraka. She's got fire, I'll tell you that." Mina said rubbing her bruises
"Well, Kendo and Iida are stretching and chatting so we can watch Yaoyorozu's fight with the guy who gets on Izuku's nerves." Kaminari said
Once Yaoyorozu's match started with 1-B's copycat, it immediately turned into a surprise match. Expecting a major electric shock, Yaoyorozu created a insulated staff as a trade from her signature metal one that Jiro, Kaminari, and injured villains were familiar with...
HELLO, I've decided to redo Elemental Midoriya. I have ideas for it, it'll be different, and it's actually this chapter I thought about redoing the story, since I had trouble coming up with ways Midoriya could be defeated, and then I remembered a mistake about his durability when training with All Might. Many mistakes were made, and I think it's almost never too late to start over. So in the coming week(s) I'll be posting a redo of Elemental Midoriya, and I might rename it. Thank you all for following and adding a favorite to the story along with leaving good reviews, I appreciate it. This is the final chapter for this story, it was obviously the week for spars before the sports festival, I wanted to do more, but I wasn't really in a good headpace when I started and dragged on for more than a month with this chapter for it to be well, putting it in layman's terms, shitty. Sorry for this chapter, but I will be doing my best with the redo. Thanks again.
