Flying above the ground and shooting feathers at Nagai, Runa was having a hard time because Nagai kept on deflecting her feathers by splashing air. Nagai swam towards her and she kept her distance. Runa shot more feathers but Nagai splashed air again.
"You're quite stubborn", Runa said.
"I heard girls like persistent men", Nagai replied.
They continued their fight in the air as Present Mic commentated. Runa had more mobility but her attacks were not that effective against Nagai since he could easily splash them away with air.
"Are you not getting tired? I do not wish to harm you so if you feel like it, you can surrender already", Nagai told her.
"Sorry. This is one fight that I can't give up on"
"That is a shame"
Nagai swam towards her but she flew upwards. Runa shot feathers at him but he avoided it. Her feathers had a long range but it could be easily deflected. Nagai's air splash had a short range so he to get close. Knowing that, Runa kept her distance.
Runa was looking at Nagai. Her match with him would get to nowhere unless one of them makes a move. That was why she flew higher and then skydived. Nagai splashed air at her endured the attack. With the force of gravity adding to the force, her punch was strong. Nagai splashed air at point-blank range, causing her to become off balance.
He then stopped swimming in the air and grabbed her wings. Both of them were falling and crashed to the stadium after a few seconds. Nagai was about to pin her down when he felt something soft.
"I-I am sorry! It was an accident!", Nagai shouted as he backed away.
Runa looked at him with a flushed expression and tears on her eyes.
"Pervert…"
"I swear it's an accident!"
Runa shot feathers at him and since he was flustered, he got hit.
Keep calm! You are still in a fight!, Nagai scolded himself.
Runa flew upwards and Nagai chased after her. She tried skydiving again but Nagai dodged her. He splashed air at her and she fell down. Nagai dived down and kicked her. Runa used her wings to hit Nagai and they both fell down to the ground again.
Nagai and Runa immediately put some distance between them as they flew upwards. Runa shot more feathers but Nagai defended himself by splashing air.
"This is not going anywhere", Nagai said.
"I guess we'll have to wait who gets tired first", Runa told him.
"Or not!", Nagai shouted and swiftly swam towards her.
Runa shot feathers at him but he avoided him. He got close and kicked but Runa's left wing blocked it. Runa noticed one vital information. She flew away and Nagai chased after her. She then stopped and punched him. Since they observed that shooting feathers and splashing air wouldn't do a thing, they decided to duke it out in a close-ranged fight.
Nagai kicked but Runa blocked him. She then grabbed his legs and that was when her suspicion was confirmed. Nagai no longer floated in the air.
"Let go!", Nagai shouted.
"I see. Your Quirk allows you to swim in the air, literally. If your leg cannot move, then you can't swim", Runa said.
She flew down and threw him out of bounds.
"Nagai Tokuhei is out of bounds! Runa Tenshi wins!", Nagusawa announced.
"This is most unfortunate", Nagai said.
"You were a tough opponent", Runa told him as she flew down in front of him.
"So... will you comfort me with dinner sometime?", he asked.
"I'll think about it", she answered.
"AND THAT'S THE END OF 5TH BATTLE. NOW TIME TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT FIGHT!", Present Mic shouted.

"She was admitted through recommendations, from the hero course: Tsubaki Kamiya! He was lso admitted through recommendations, from the hero course: Chris Midnight!"
"Good day", Tsubaki greeted.
"I won't hold back even on a girl you know?", Chris told her.
Tsubaki just smiled like a high-class girl.
"START!"
Chris' shadow rose and like Sunajiki's sand, it launched towards Tsubaki… until he noticed that she was moving really fast.
"WHAT AMAZING SPEED! WILL MIDNIGHT BE ABLE TO CATCH UP?!"
Tsubaki closed the gap in a few seconds and delivered an uppercut. She exhaled and then took a deep breath. Chris formed a staff made out of his own shadow and swung it. However, she easily dodged it and delivered a punch on his side.
"Why you!", his shadow turned into a hands which tried to grab Tsubaki but she backflipped her way out.
Tsubaki exhaled. Chris looked at her and then he smiled.
"Is there something on my face?", Tsubaki asked.
"You've been holding your breath", Chris pointed out.
Tsubaki no longer smiled as her eyes became serious. Chris formed a staff using his own shadow. She inhaled and ran swiftly. The shadow boy made a shadow wall but Tsubaki went around it. Chris swung his staff but Tsubaki grabbed it. While her attention was on the staff, she didn't notice one thing as she felt pain on her stomach.
Impossible! I was looking at his shadow! How did I get hit?, Tsubaki thought.
She looked down and saw a hand made out of shadow came out of her own shadow and punched her stomach again.
My own shadow?!
The pain on her stomach made her exhale. Her perception of time returned to normal. She wanted to hold her breath again but before she could, she got hit by Chris' staff. His shadow then captured her and pinned her down to the ground.
Tsubaki struggled for a bit but…
"I yield", she gave up.
"Tsubaki Kamiya gave up. Chris Midnight wins!", Nagusawa announced.
Chris' shadow returned to normal and he helped Tsubaki up.
"You're pretty good. You actually made me use my trump card", Chris praised.
"It was a great learning experience for me. I should have known that you can control other's shadow as well", Tsubaki replied.
And with that, the sixth battle ended.
Hey everyone! Yeah. I know what you're thinking… "Two fights in a chapter? Sheesh! Seraquin is running out of ideas!". Sorry! Runa and Nagai's Quirks would lead to a stalemate and I can't do a Naruto move since I don't have background information about the two. That's why I apologize for their short fight. I also don't want to spoil Chris and Tsubaki's backstory since it's sort of important in the future. Anyways... Next fight is the material-absorbing Nozomi against the rampaging Akabayashi! Hope you enjoyed this (short) chapter and leave a review! (Who do you think will win?)
