"Now then... I'll announce the results of the ballot earlier", Nagusawa said.

The students drew lots that will decide their bracket. Mitsuji was nervous since he knew that everyone who qualified was all strong in their own ways. However, he made a declaration to his older sister. He shouldn't lose.

The huge screen of the stadium showed those who will be fighting.

Narruk Mondronen vs. Suzumi Midoriya

Aome Okami vs. Tora Kai

Kai Hikari vs. Daichi Hisakawa

Sunajiki Rantaro vs. Jacob Wilson

Runa Tenshi vs. Nagai Tokuhei

Tsubaki Kamiya vs. Chris Midnight

Nozomi Kido vs. Akabayashi Kemochi

Mitsuji Saiga vs. Kuroi Niriyama

Mitsuji then felt intense and suffocating pressure from someone. He turned and saw Kuroi staring at him with a creepy smile.

"Kufufufu. Let's have fun, Saiga", he said in a quiet tone and yet Mitsuji still heard it.

Kai felt a chill run down his spine and looked at the quiet Daichi. He was facing against the strongest in the class. He heard from Nozomi and Mitsuji that they had a hard time fighting against him.

Meanwhile, Jacob was mumbling to himself, a trait he got from the upperclassman who trained him. He was thinking of his enemy's unknown Quirk. If he knew who fought against Sunajiki, he would interview them and get as much information as he could. Not because he wanted to gain an advantage but instead, he was simply curious.

"NOW! LET'S START THE FIRST ROUND!", Present Mic shouted.

Every class were on the bleachers and the crowd was going wild.

"Narruk Mondronen vs. Suzumi Midoriya", Nagusawa said.

Narruk stood across two meters away from Suzumi. He wasn't wearing anything on top which showed off his muscular build.

"Would you mind covering yourself up?", Suzumi asked.

"Sorry. My Quirk would just destroy it anyway", Narruk replied.

Jacob, Kai, and Mitsuji sat beside each other in Class 1-A's area.

"Who do you think would win?", Kai asked.

"Suzumi is a long-ranged fighter while Narruk is close-ranged. Without cover, Narruk would have a hard time. But… his speed is not to be trifled with and once he gets close, he'll easily overpower her", Jacob explained.

"Let's just watch and see", Mitsuji said.

###

"With his wolfish power he qualified for this round! From the hero course, Mondronen!", Present Mic announced.

The crowd cheered as Narruk stretched his arms.

"Her flames are searing hot so you'd better watch out! From the hero course, Midoriya!", Present Mic shouted.

Suzumi took deep breaths.

"If you want to give up beforehand, do it now. I don't hold back even against girls", Narruk warned.

"Don't worry. I also don't hold back against puppies", she replied.

That statement irked Narruk. He decided to get an undeniable and overwhelming victory against her just like what his upperclassman thought him.

"START!"

Narruk transformed into his wolf form and ran on all fours towards Suzumi. However, she breathed out fire and the fire took the shape of a dragon. The fire dragon flew towards Narruk but he avoided it. It then turned back and chased after Narruk.

"Tch. How annoying!", Narruk said as he ran.

He decided to run all the way to Suzumi. If he could break her concentration, the dragon would disappear. Suzumi already predicted that he would think that way so she breathed more flames. It formed into a bird and flew straight at him. With a flaming bird coming at him from the front and a flaming dragon coming at him from behind, he had no choice but to escape to the side.

I can't get close, Narruk thought.

Suzumi breathed another fire which formed into another bird. She sweated as she tried hard to concentrate. Her Quirk allows her to breathe fire and control it but it requires a great deal of concentration. For one, she couldn't move while controlling fire. Also, as the number and size of the flame increases, the more she has to concentrate.

"Is this all you can do?", Narruk taunted but he received no reply.

That was when he noticed. She couldn't reply because she had to concentrate her all on controlling. That meant that it was a battle of endurance. It was either his stamina would fail him and he would get burned or she would lose her concentration from being tired.

The flames chased after Narruk as he continued running around the arena. His speed was faster than the flaming entities so he had nothing to worry about. He then remembered his upperclassman's words.

"If you're going to fight, get an undeniable and overwhelming victory! You're my underclassman so you'd better not bring shame on me. Got that?!", Katsuki asked.

"Yes sir!", Narruk answered.

"Beat them senseless. Make them use their full power and crush them! Don't take advantage of their weaknesses! Let them use all of their tricks and then show them that it's futile! That way, they wouldn't dare cross your path again!", Katsuki lectured.

"Should we really be doing that?", Narruk asked.

"Of course you dog! If you don't, villains would try again and again thinking they have a chance against you. It's better to show them that it's impossible to defeat you and make them give up on crime!"

"Y-Yes sir!"

"Good! Now let's spar. I won't hold back even if you cry blood!"

Narruk felt that Katsuki wasn't joking.

###

Narruk smiled showing his fangs. He charged at Suzumi.

"Oh! Narruk changed tactics from running around to charging directly!", Present Mic commentated.

Bakugo-senpai wouldn't approve if I won by running around, he thought.

The flames that were chasing him disappeared and Suzumi breathed huge amounts of flames. She created a wall of hot flames but Narruk went pass it with some of his fur burning. He landed a punch on her stomach and she went flying.

But that wasn't the end of it. Narruk continued his barrage of attacks to the green-haired girl. He kicked and punched mercilessly, not giving her chance to breath out flames. Suzumi caught his fist but she got kneed in the stomach.

"This is… quite a troubling sight as Mondronen mercilessly beats up Midoriya", Present Mic said.

Narruk threw Suzumi to the edge of the arena.

"You can go out of bounds now. Or do you prefer me doing it for you?", Narruk asked.

Suzumi panted.

###

Quirkless. She knew that he was one of the few Quirkless people and that was what bothered her for years. She heard from her mother that he would get bullied and made fun of and she hated that.

But that all changed last year when she watched the UA Sports Festival when she saw Izuku face off against Shoto. His overwhelming power that could destroy huge chunks of ice in a flick of a finger made her shudder.

And that lead her to two questions: how did he get a quirk like that and why wasn't it a fire-based Quirk like what the Midoriya family has? She was answered her second question by thinking that it was some sort of mutation but her first question remained unanswered. She heard Aunt Inko that he was Quirkless for sure. That was why she decided to go to UA instead of Shiketsu High, She wanted to find out.

But she also envied her cousin. She only had a fire-controlling Quirk which relied on her breathing while Izuku has a super-powered Quirk. Her Quirk was not that flashy and not that effective while Izuku could punch anyone with power. He was like his idol, All Might.

But that doesn't mean she should give up!

###

She took a deep breath and let out a huge amount of searing hot flames. These flames were of the same hotness as the ones that melted Shoto's ice during their training. She could only control this for a while and she had to focus really hard.

"I see. That's your answer", Narruk said as he went on all fours.

The flames rained down on him but he avoided all of them. A wall of flame appeared in front of him and shielded Suzumi. However…

"Bakugo-senpai's explosions hurt more!", he shouted as he went passed the wall.

He felt his fur catching flame and his skin burning but he charged on. He landed a punch on Suzumi which pushed her out of bounds. The flames disappeared.

"Midoriya is out of bounds! Mondronen wins!", Nagusawa announced.

The crowd cheered and Narruk transformed back into his human form. He had burns around his body. Suzumi was picked up by the infirmary robots and Narruk looked at her.

"Get your injuries checked by Recovery Girl too. And rest up before your next match", Nagusawa told him.

Narruk walked away.

"And that's the first match! We'll move on to the next match!", Present Mic shouted.

Aome's tail stopped wagging. It was finally her turn. The infirmary robots passed by her.

"Win for me", Suzumi said.

"Don't worry. I will avenge you", Aome replied.

The second match was about to begin.

Hey everyone! That was the first match. Narruk's training with Bakugo made him resilient so Suzumi's flames didn't do much on him. Well… it injured him but he didn't mind the pain. Poor Suzumi though, receiving a beating from a wolf. But that was what Bakugo taught Narruk during their training so it couldn't be helped. Please don't get too angry. Anyways… That was it! Hope you enjoyed it and leave a review!
