Chapter 13
First Round
Izuku stood on the stage facing Shinso. Ojiro came down and sat.
"Were you able to help him?" Freya asked.
"As best as I could. I just hope he takes my advice to heart." Ojiro said.
"The rules are simple. Immobilize your opponent or force them outta the ring. You can also win by getting the other prson to cry uncle. Bring on the injuries, because we've got our own Recovery Girl waiting on standby. So put your morals aside and don't be afraid to play dirty! But of course, no life threatening crap, folks. It's not allowed. Real heroes use their power to throw villains to jail, not kill them." Present Mic said.
"I'll stop anyone who tries to get too rough." Cementoss said. Shinso looks at Izuku. Freya sat with her arms crossed as she watched one of her closest friends about to battle. Shinso was talking. They couldn't really hear what is said.
"To bad we can't hear anything." Kirishima said.
"Ready?" Present Mic. Everyone sat watching. "Begin!" Izuku suddenly charges at Shinzo.
"Don't you talk about him that way!" Izuku shouted. Shinso smirked and Izuku came to a stop. Ojiro jumped to his feet with his hands to his head.
"I warned him not to say anything!" Ojiro said. Freya looked at Ojiro.
"What do you mean?" Freya asked. Bakugo looked at Ojiro as well.
"Huh?! Hey, hey, what's the dealio?" Present Mic said. Freya, Iida, and Uraraka were standing up, watching in shock. "This is the first match! It should start out with a bang! The fight has just begun and Izuku Midoiya is.. completely frozen? He's not moving a muscle."
"What is this guys Quirk?" Kaminari asked as everyone watched in shock.
"And what's with the look on his face? Could this be a Quirk at work? Hitoshi Shinso seems to have Izuku Midoriya completely stunned." Present Mic said.
"Or under a spell." Freya said.
"He didn't stand out in the first rounds at all, but it's possible Shinso's crazy powerful! Who could've imagined this turn of events?" Present Mic said. He was almost in a panic. Kirishima was standing next to Freya as they watch. Bakugo sat with his arms crossed. "That's the Frestival for you!"
'He's probably pushing my dad's last nerve.' Freya thought. Freya watched Shinso as he seemed to talk to Izuku. Izuku turned and his class noticed his eyes were all white. Izuku started walking to the edge of the stage.
"No. Don't." Freya said with wide eyes.
"Uh. What?! Ah! Midoriya's walking out of bounds?" Present Mic said.
"Damn it, Midoryia. Don't do that!" Freya yelled.
"Oh, no, Deku, what are you doing?" Uraraka asked. Iida started moving his arms around like crazy.
"He can't walk out of the ring! He'll lose the match if he does!" Iida said. Bakugo watched. Freya was standing next to him and so was Kirishima. Freya put two and two together.
"Brainwashing." Freya said.
"What?" Kirishima and Kaminari said.
"His Quirk is brainwashing. It's the only explanation of why Izuku's eyes are like it is and why he's listening to him." Freya said. Izuku was getting closer to the line to be out of bonds. Freya clenched her fists. "Break out of it, Midoryia. Come on." Izuku almost seems to stop. Freya gasps as two of his fingers glowed. They moved and air goes flying. Izuku stops fully and gasps in pain.
"He did it." Kirishima said.
"And he was an inch away from being out of bounds. He made it." Freya said, hugging Bakugo, hard. Bakugo felt his checks warm up as she hugged him.
"What's this? Midoriya stopped just in time!" Present Mic said.
"That's the way to do it!" Iida yelled, throwing his arms in the air.
"Whoa. I was about to freak out!" Uraraka said. Freya noticed his two fingers. They were broken.
'He broke his fingers to break out of the brainwash.' Freya thought as she sat down. Bakugo had to hide his face as he knew he was blushing.
"Whew, that just about killed me." Ojiro said as Izuku turned to look at Shinso. Shinso looked shocked. Shinso seemed to try to get Izuku back under his control, but Izuku put a hand to his mouth. Izuku turned his full body to face Shinso. Izuku runs at Shinso as he talks. Freya held her breath as Izuku grabs Shinso and starts pushing him back.
"Come on." Freya whispered. Shinso punches Izuku in the face. Izuku doesn't let up and starts pushing him further towards the line to be out of bonds. Shinso punches Izuku in the hand that had the broken fingers. Freya had her hand to her mouth as Shinso moves and Izuku stops himself from falling out of bonds. Shinso tries to grab Izuku, but Izuku grabs his arm. Izuku tosses Shinso over his shoulder. Izuku slams Shinso into the ground. Everyone sat in silence.
"Shinso is out of bounds! Midoriya advances to the next match!" Midnight called. Freya sighed in relief as Shinso got up as the crowd cheers. Uraraka sits down.
"Ugh, that was so nerve wracking!" Uraraka said.
"Turning the tables at the last minute, a classic Midoriya maneuver!" Iida said. Kaminari leaned over Freya and Kirishima to look at Bakugo.
"He's pulled that shoulder throw on you before, huh?" Kaminari asked.
"Shut your damn face, Sparky." Bakugo said.
"No need to fight, you two." Freya said, pushing Kaminari back inot his seat. Present Mic showed up on the big screen.
"That was actually kind of a boring first match, kids. But both of you fought bravely. Let's show them some love, everyone!" The crowd cheered. Izuku and Shinso talked for a bit before Shinso walked towards the tunnel to head out.
"You were awesome out there, Shinso." Freya saw some UA Students calling out to Shinso.
"We're proud of you!"
"You didn't tell us you were that good."
'With that Quirk of his, he make a good hero maybe in the future. That could come useful to take down a villain.' Freya thought with a smile. Even heroes were saying he be useful. Shinso and Izuku gets off the field.
"Now it's Todoroki and Sero." Mina said.
"This should be interesting." Freya said. Bakugo seemed to be in a bad mood after Kaminari's comment as they sat and waited for the next match.
"Ah! There you are, Deku." Uraraka called. Freya turned to see Izuku coming to where his class was sitting.
"You did good." Freya said with a smile. Izuku returned the smile.
"Come on down here. We saved a seat for you!" Iida said, pointing at the seat.
"Thanks guys." Izuku said. Ojiro gave Izuku a fist up. Izuku smiled. He smiled at Freya and saw Bakugo glaring at him. He gulped and went to sit with Iida and Tokayami.
Todoroki and Serso stood on the stage.
"Enough standing around. Now welcome to the ring our next players. He's got skill. But at the expense of some really creepy looking elbows." Present Mic said. Sero was stretching his arms. From the hero course, it's Hanta Sero! Versus, and early frontrunner in the competition who's way to strong for his own good. Someone who rightfully got into the hero course based on recommendations! It's Shoto Todoroki!"
"I'll catch you guys later. I better go sit and wait." Kaminari said as he got up and left to go prepare for his match.
"Good luck." Freya called.
"And now, for the second match of the finals. Ready? Begin." Present Mic said as Sero finished stretching. Sero sent tape flying and wrapped it around Todoroki. Freya thought Todoroki was just letting him as Sero spun Todoroki around the stage. "That attack could throw his opponent out of bounds! A brilliant, surprise opening from the underdog! Way to start off strong, Sero!" Freya's eyes widen as she sees ice form and stooot towards Sero. Freya shot to her feet as it takes Sero but the wall was coming towards the stadium. Freya's hands glowed.
"Freya. Don't!" Bakugo shouted but it was to late. Freya created a huge forcefield in front of everyone from the ground to the roof as the ice hits. It hit the forcefield and the stadium shook. It was close to touching the railing, but the forcefield stopped it from hitting onlookers.
"That's Freya's forcefield. Don't tell me she protected everyone." Aizawa said with wide eyes. Freya felt her energy slipping as she got weak. She couldn't create a huge forcefield without getting weak. Bakugo saw it as the forcefield went down and Freya felt her knees give. Bakugo caught her as she collapsed.
"Don't overdo yourself, dumbass. We don't need you backing out of your match because your weak." Bakugo said. She clutched his shirt.
"I didn't want it to hit people." Freya whispered.
"Is she alright?" Jiro asked, looking worried for her friend.
"She will be soon as I get her some juice." Bakugo said, picking her up bridal style and heading out. He didn't miss Kirishima smirking at the two as he left the platform. Izuku was worried for his friend, but knew Freya was in good hands.
"Sero has been immobilized! Todoroki advances to the second round." Midnight announced.
"You know I can walk." Freya said.
"Tch. I've seen you overdo that Quirk of yours and know you usually can't walk till you get some juice in you and I think they will be clearing the ice for awhile." Bakugo said as they reached the cafeteria. Bakugo set her in a seat and went to grab the juice. Freya laid her head on the table. She had a bit before her match.
"Kid." Freya looked up to see her dad standing there. "You overdid it."
"Sorry, dad. I was just trying to help." Freya said.
"I know, but you're in the final rounds. I don't want you to pull out because you overdid it." Aizawa said.
"I won't. I should be fine soon as I get juice in me." Freya said. Aizawa nodded as Bakugo came with a glass of juice for Freya. Aizawa kissed Freya's head and left to go back to Present Mic. Freya took a long drink of the juice.
Back in the stands. Freya had an extra glass of juice as they waited for Kaminari's battle against and Shiozaki.
"You alright, Freya?" Kirishima asked.
"I'll be alright." Freya said.
"Leave her alone, Shitty Hair." Bakugo said.
"Very protective of her, aren't you?" Kirishima asked, making both Bakugo and Freya blush.
"Shut up or I'll kill you." Bakugo said.
"Behave you two." Freya grumbled.
"Yes mom." Kirishima and Bakugo said, looking away from each other.
"Welcome back to the finals, everyone! Sorry for that long wait. The insane amount of ice from the second match has finally been cleared, though, so it's time to welcome new competitors! Even beautiful flowers have throns. It's the assassin from Class 1-B. Ibara Shiozaki from the Hero Course!" Present Mic said. Shiozaki came onto the stage. "Versus the boy with the electric personality! Another Hero in the making, Denki Kaminari!" Kaminari comes onto the stage. The crowd cheers. "Keep those eyes peeled. I wanna see a super flashy battle this time!"
"Excuse me!" Shiozaki said, stopping Present Mic. "Please pardon the interuption. I'm not sure why you called me an assasin. I've come to the festival in search of victory, not to take my opponent's life. That wouldn't be in line with the balues of a hero at all, sir." Freya had to bite her lip from laughing as the girl told off her Godfather.
"Right. I'm sorry." Present Mic said. Shiozaki stood with her hand up.
"Gentlemen. I didn't enter UA for wicked or selfish reasons, but to deliver salvation to others!" Shiozaki said. She folded her hands together and closed her eyes. Bakugo and Freya share looks.
'This girl is weird.' Freya thought.
"It is my humble quest to spread true good across this world." Shiozaki said.
"Listen, I said I was sorry! That was my bad, okay?" Present Mic said.
"I thank you for your kind understanding." Shiozaki said. She bows. Kaminari looked like he was impressed with Shiozaki.
"Looks like he has a crush on her." Kirishima said. Bakugo rolled his eyes.
"So, anyway. Begin!" Present Mic said. Kaminari started sparking as he talked. He slams his fists to the ground to send the shockwave at the girl. Shiozaki turns her back to him. Her hair lifts up. Then a huge green hair rises from the ground and the electricity hits it. Vine like ropes head for Kaminari and wrap him up. Freya could tell that Kaminari fried his brain in the process.
"Tch. Idiot." Bakugo said.
"Her Quirk is neat." Freya said with a smile.
"He's immobilized! That's all, folks! It was over in an instant!" Present Mic said. Midnight moves her whip.
"The winner is Shiozaki! She advances on!" Midnight announces. The crowd cheers. Kaminari was rolled off the field with medic robots.
"Man, she's good." Jiro said.
"Guess he was right." Monoma's voice came. Freya saw him peaking his head over the wall as she finishes her juice. That match really was over in just two seconds. I wonder if his real Quirk is the ability to tell the future. Hey! Wasn't Class 1-A supposed to be so much better than us?" Bakugo growled as Monoma laughs. A hand comes and knocks out Monoma. Kendo peaked her head over the wall.
"Sorry about him." Kendo said.
'I hate that guy.' Freya, Yaoyorozu, Jiro, Mina, and Tsu thought. Shiozaki walked off the field.
"I've seen Kaminari in action-he's super strong." Freya looked over to see Izuku writing in his notebook. He was muttering again out loud. Freya chuckled. "But Shiozaki placed fourth in the entrance exam. And those vines. I wonder if she's studied Kamui Woods moves." Bakugo looked like he was going to murder Izuku. "Binding attacks can be really powerful. I hardly see anyone break oiut when they're used."
"Is he always like this?" Kirishima asked.
"I don't think he ever notices he mumbles out loud till someone tells him." Freya said as Uraraka talks to him. Freya pulled Bakugo down before he got up to beat Izuku. "Don't even think about it. I don't want you getting in trouble."
"He keeps it up, I'll beat the shit out of him." Bakugo growled.
"Let's keep pumping out tese hits and move on! Time for the fourth match! Get ready to watch two new players duke it out." Present Mic said.
"Shouldn't you be getting ready to go to waiting room?" Kirishima asked. Freya stood up as Iida and Mei headed out to the field.
"See you guys after." Freya said.
In the waiting room. Freya sat staring at the table. Seemed Iida's battle was taking longer then the other ones.
"Freya." Freya looked up to see Jiro and Mina standing there. "Mei's making it a commercial right now. How you holding up?"
"I'm hanging in there. Not as nervous as I was before." Freya said. Mina hugged her.
"You got this. Remember, Aoyama gets stomach aches after awhile." Mina said.
"I know." Freya said.
"Good luck." Jiro said. Her and Mina left. Freya let out a breath.
"Brat." Bakugo said, pushing the door open shortly after the girls left. Freya smiled.
"Come to wish me luck?" Freya asked.
"You really don't need it. I know you'll do well out there. Especially against that idiot." Bakugo said.
"Uh, Hatsume stepped out of bounds, so Iida advances to the next round." Midnight announced.
"Guess I should head out." Freya said, standing up.
"Good luck, Brat." Bakugo said. He turned to leave.
"Bakugo." Freya said, coming up to him. He turned and she pressed a kiss to his check. Bakugo was caught off guard and his face turned red. "Thank you." Freya stepped out the door and headed to the tunnel that would take her out onto the field. Bakugo put a hand to his check. A smile creeps onto his face.
Bakugo sat down in his seat. Kirishima saw Bakugo's face was slightly red.
"Went to wish Freya luck?" Kirishima asked.
"Tch. She didn't need it." Bakugo said.
"Then why you red in the face." Kirishima said making everyone turn. Bakugo face grew redder.
"Shut up, Shitty Hair. It's none of your business." Bakugo said.
"Is it Freya?" Mineta said, wiggling his eyebrows. Bakugo nearly popped a vein.
"Shut up pervert or I'll toss you over the railing." Bakugo said.
"I'll take that as a yes." Jiro whispered to Mina and the girls giggled. Bakugo glares at the girls.
"Stupid kiss on the check." Bakugo grumbled. Kirishima heard it and was about to ask when Aoyama and Freya walked on the field.
"We're gonna charge right on along to the fifth match." Present Mic said. He was excited for this one with his Goddaughter being on the stage. "Let's hope that gaudy belt serves some kinda purpose. It's Yuga Aoyama from the hero course!"
"Bonjour." Aoyama said.
"Versus. My personal favorite and my partner over heres daughter." Present Mic said. Freya rolled her eyes. "From the same class. Freya Aizawa."
"You know you shouldn't have favorites." Aizawa said.
"Oh like your not favoriting your daughter." Present Mic said. Aizawa sighed, knowing his friend was right.
"This match is gonna be easy." Freya said, stretching her arms.
"I do believe you're going to be eating those words, mademoiselle." Aoyama said. Freya gritted her teeth.
"We will see." Freya said with a smirk.
"Come on, Freya, you can do it." Tsu said.
"Don't show her any mercy, Aoyama!" Bakugo turned and glared at Mineta. Kirishima saw the look in his eyes. "Fight like you're in one of those video games where everyone's clothes get beaten off." Kirishima had to pull Bakugo down before he went to kill Mineta.
"You pervert!" Jiro said.
"Calm down man. Freya can hold her own. No throwing Mineta over the railing." Kirishima said.
"The Pervert is one step closer to dying." Bakugo growled.
"You do like Freya, more than a friend, don't you?" Kirishima asked. Bakugo didn't answer his friend. He already knew the answer. Kirishima saw the look in Bakugo's eyes and knew he was right.
"Now let's get started!" Present Mic said. Freya got in a fighting stance as she faced Aoyama. "Fifth match... BEGIN!" Aoyama put his hands behind his head.
"Navel laser, activate." Aoyama said. Freya's hands glowed as she put a forcefield up as part of the laser hit it. The laser bounced off it.
"That's all you got?" Freya said as Aoyama kept shooting at her. She started walking towards him. She put it down and started flipping through the air, dodging all the lasers. She kept her hand on the capture scarf. This was a perfect place to now use the Capture Scarf. She needed to wait for the right moment. "I know much about your Quirk, Aoyama."
"I can say the same thing about you." Aoyama said as he aimed a laser at her. Freya made a force step and stepped up to avoid it. Aizawa shook his head.
'She's playing with him to show off what she can do. She is much like her mother.' Aizawa said.
"Sure, but there's a big difference. I remember something you said to Mina. I know your weakness." Freya said. Freya flipped off the step and dodge two more attacks.
"Here's a big one." Aoyama said. Freya smirked as she bent down and dived forward, avoiding the big one to get a bit closer to Aoyama. Freya smirked as she saw a sick look on Aoyama's face.
"Now!" Freya said, releasing the Capture Scarf. It reached Aoyama and it wrapped around him, lifting him up in the air. Aoyama struggled but couldn't get free. Freya brought Aoyama close to her and she punches him in the chin, releasing the scarf. Aoyama gasps and falls to the ground. Bakugo smirked with pride. Aizawa chuckled.
"Not bad, brat." Bakugo said.
"Aoyama is knocked out." Midnight said with a huge smile on her face as she pointed at Freya with her whip. "The winner of this match is Aizawa." Cheers rang through the crowd as Freya bowed and stood straight with a smile on her face.
"Dang. Aoyama went down hard. Your daughter is really good at what she does." Present Mic said with a smile on his face.
'Good job, kid.' Aizawa thought, hiding a smile under his bandages. Freya waves to the crowd, enjoying her moment of shine. 'Though she takes well to the media better than I do.'
"Freya was amazing." Tsu said.
"Damn. I didn't get to see her panties." Mineta said.
"Oh, for crying out loud." Jiro said. Mineta whimpers. Ojiro shook her head. Bakugo just smirked.
"She's getting stronger." Izuku said smiling at his friend. "The match unfolded like I thought it would. I've studied Freya since we were kids." Freya watched as Aoyama was taken off the field. Midnight gave her an approving nod and Freya walked off the field with a smile on her face. She wasn't in it to win it like Bakugo and Izuku, but she wanted a place on top.
"Freya." Kirishima ran towards her as he headed to wait for his match to start. "You were amazing out there."
"Thanks Kirishima. It helped knowing his weakness." Freya said. Kirishima hugged her.
"Bakugo couldn't keep his eyes off you." Kirishima said. Freya felt a warmth in her checks. Present Mic was announcing Yaoyorozu and Tokoyami match. "Wonder who you'll face after this one."
"We'll see. Good luck, Kirishima." Freya said.
"Thank you." Kirishima said. Yaoyorozu and Tokoyami's fight was over before Freya reached the stands with Tokoyami winning by knocking her out of bonds. Bakugo was out of the stands before Kirishima's battle. Freya decided to go with Uraraka luck and go see Bakugo. Freya pushed Uraraka's door open.
"Hey, Freya. Nice work with Aoyama." Uraraka said.
"Thank you. I come to wish you luck with next match." Freya said.
"Thank you. You heading to talk to Bakugo?" Uraraka asked.
"I'm heading there after I wish you luck." Freya said. Uraraka smiled.
"I'm glad you stopped over." Uraraka said. Freya stepped out to see Izuku heading her way.
"Hey Deku." Freya said.
"Kirishima's battle is gonna be awhile. His opponent has the same hardening but metal." Izuku said.
"Man. I'm gonna miss it. Going to see Bakugo." Freya said.
"About to talk to Uraraka." Izuku said. Freya headed down to where Bakugo was. She opened the door and entered. Bakugo was stretching out his legs on the floor. He had his back to her. Freya forgot how muscular he was.
"Like something you see." Bakugo's voice pulled her out of her thoughts. Bakugo had turned his head and was smirking at her. He stood up. "You did well with your match. You know how to play with others." Freya smiled.
"I just knew his weakness and used it on him." Freya said. Bakugo came up to her.
"What are you doing here?" Bakugo asked.
"I come to wish you luck. Like you did with me." Freya said.
"You didn't have to. I'm gonna win." Bakugo said. They looked at each other. Both felt awkward after she had kissed Bakugo on the check.
"Wow, that's hurt me and all I'm doing is watching these guys!" Bakugo and Freya looked at the tv to see Kirishima and the silver haired dude that Freya forgot his name laying on the ground knocked out cold. "Is it over?"
"Both knocked out at the same time?" Freya said.
"How's that going to work?" Bakugo asked. Midnight was looking them over.
"They're both down! It's a draw!" Midnight said. Freya raised an eyebrow. "When the contestants recover from this battle the winner will be determined by a simple contest. Perhaps arm wrestling."
"Well, I should head back to the others. Good luck again." Freya said. She turned to head out.
"Freya." Bakugo said. Freya turns. Bakugo grabbed her arm gently and pulled her to him. Bakugo pressed his lips against hers and kissed her. The kiss on the check she gave him, gave him the courage he needed to kiss her. Freya gasped against his lips as his hands found his way into her long hair. She felt herself start kissing him back as her hands rested on his chest. Bakugo pulled away and hands slid onto her checks. Freya looked into his red eyes as he looked into her purple. "That's all the luck I need." Bakugo said with a smile she hardly sees. He let her go and walk out the door with a smirk on his face. Freya felt her checks warm up and her lips tingle from the kiss.
"There you are. Took you long enough." Mina said as Freya slid into a seat next to Mina and Jiro. The girls didn't miss the redness in her checks.
"Why are you red?" Jiro asked.
"It's nothing." Freya said.
"Strange. Bakugo was red before your match and now your red before Bakugo's match. What happened? Was it Bakugo?" Mina asked with a knowing smirk. Freya's checks went redder.
"He kissed me." Freya whispered. Mina squealed. "Ssh. No need to tell the others. Please."
"It's safe with us. You two are so cute together. I swear you guys should of been a couple for years, but you two are friends." Mina said. Freya shielded her face with her long hair.
"Mina's right Freya. Bakugo seems to like you and you like him." Jiro said.
"I don't know. I don't want to ruin our friendship." Freya said.
"I think if he kissed you he likes you." Mina said. Freya felt her checks redden more. Mina and Jiro smirked at their friend.
Freya sat with her arms crossed as they waited for Bakugo and Uraraka to get on the field. She was nervous for this fight and didn't know who she wanted to cheer on.
"Ribbit. This might be the most disturbing matchup." Tsu said.
"I know. I almost don't wanna watch it." Jiro said. Izuku sat next to Freya and Iida. Uraraka and Bakugo walked out onto the field.
"The eighth and final battle of the first round of matches. He has kind of a hot shot in middle school, and just look at that determined face!" Present Mic said.
"That's a determined look?" Mina asked. Bakugo looked annoyed to be dueling Uraraka. Freya sighed.
'It's like the kiss didn't faze him.' Freya thought with a sigh.
"From the hero course, Katsuki Bakugo." Present Mic said. The crowd cheers. "Versus. The one I'm personally rooting for, also from Class 1-A, Ochaco Uraraka!" The crowd cheers.
"You're the one who screws around with gravity. Right, Pink Checks?" Bakugo asked.
"Pink cheeks?" Uraraka said.
"Well, if you're gonna give up, do it now. Because I'm not gonna hold anything back." Bakugo said. Uraraka stood her ground. Iida was talking to Izuku.
"You think she stands a chance?" Jiro asked.
"I have no doubt Bakugo won't hold back on her, but I'm sure she has a plan to go at him. It's gonna be an interesting fight." Freya said.
"Let the eighth match begin!" Present Mic said. Uraraka charged at Bakugo. Freya noticed she was bent towards the ground with her hands down. She raised an eyebrow but knew this was a fight she wanted to watch.
"Giving up isn't an option for me!" Uraraka said.
"Wow, look at her go! That's a good start, and all she has to do is touch him one time!" Izuku said.
"But it won't be east." Freya said. Iida and Izuku look at Freya. "You know Bakugo's not gonna let her get close to him."
"She's right." Iida said.
"Which is why he won't dodge. He'll focus his energy on counterattacking." Izuku said. Bakugo lifted his arm.
"And now you die." Bakugo said. He brought his arm back. Uraraka dives as Bakugo swings his arm forward and causes an explosion. Everyone gasped, but Freya. Freya watched with interest.
"He blasted her." Mineta said.
"Ugh, looks like Bakugo's not planning on showing her any mercy." Tsu said.
"He's not gonna hold back. He never does." Freya said. Uraraka stood in the smoke. Bakugo stepped back and got ready for another attack.
"You should a dropped outta the match. Something moves in the smoke. Bakugo turns in the direction. "There's no way you can beat me!" He causes another explosion. The smoke clears a bit and Bakugo finds he's holding down Uraraka's jacket. Freya smirked as Uraraka flew out behind Bakugo.
'Not bad.' Freya thought. Izuku was getting excited.
"Whoa! She flew her jacket over as a decoy! What incredibly quick thinking." Present Mic said. Uraraka reaches for Bakugo to try and make him float. Bakugo saw her coming and lets out a yell as he throws his arm back, causing a blast. It sends Uraraka flying.
"So close." Mina said. Freya wasn't surprised.
"Look at that reaction time!" Sero said.
"Seriously, the dude's insane. You can't get the drop on him." Kaminari said.
"Oh, trust me. When I train with him, he gets intense, but even with me, he never holds back." Freya said. Bakugo pushes the smoke out of the way. "He's the reason I got quick reflexes." Uraraka charges at Bakugo.
"Too slow!" Bakugo shouted. He drags his hand along the ground and sends another explosion her way. Uraraka caught herself and came flying back at Bakugo.
'She's not giving up.' Freya thought.
"I've got you!" Uraraka yelled. Bakugo attacked with an explosion.
"Is she okay?" Tsu said. Jiro covered her eyes.
"I can't watch this." Jiro said.
"Freya. Is he this bad with you?" Iida asked as Uraraka continued to come at him, but Bakugo kept attacking.
"At times, but he doesn't like to hold back." Freya said.
"Like I always suspected, Bakugo's a total sadist. One blast knocks Uraraka off her feet. She wasn't back on her feet and Freya was amazed of her determination.
"This isn't over yet!" Uraraka said. Bakugo lets out another explosion. Freya was noticing the rocks weren't really hitting the ground.
'Hmm. She has a plan in place after all.' Freya thought. Uraraka comes charging out of the smoke and Bakugo caught her up in another explosion, sending her flying.
"Looks like she's not resting between attacks despite being exploded. Poor girl." Present Mic said. Bakugo kept blasting her with one explosion after another.
"She's gonna loose." Sero said.
"No. Look closer." Freya said. Everyone looked at her. "Just watch." As the stage rocks with an explosion. Freya sat with her arms crossed.
"Hey! Shouldn't one of the teachers step in?
"Yeah, this is too rough."
Uraraka sat panting. She charged to be blown back by an explosion.
"This is shameful." Freya nearly rolled her eyes at heroes commenting about the match. "Listen kid, you really wanna be a hero? Then stop acting like a bully." Bakugo's eyes go to the stands. "If you're so good, just send her out of bounds." Bakugo saw movement and quickly blasted Uraraka. Freya gritted her teeth. "Stop toying with the girl and end this match!"
"Oh, for heaven's sake." Freya growled.
"Yeah, you heard the guy!"
The crowd started booing Bakugo.
"If only they knew the real you, Katsuki." Freya whispered.
"The crowd is now booing Bakugo! And honestly, I kinda agree with what they're sayin..." Aizawa elbowed Present Mic in the head to shut him up. "Hey, whoa.. What the crap?" Aizawa had enough. He watched the kid grow up with his daughter and saw him grow as a student.
"Where is the man who started this uproar?" Freya looked at the booth where her father was sitting. "Are you a pro?" The crowd goes silent. "Because if you're being serious, you can go home and hang up your cape. I'd suggest looking into another career."
"Well said, dad." Freya said with a smirk.
"You know what he's talking about?" Izuku said.
"Just listen." Freya said.
"Bakugo's fierceness is an acknowledgement of his opponent's strength. He knows she deserves to have made it this far, so he's making sure he does whatever it takes to keep her at bay and come out on top." Aizawa said. Freya looked down at Bakugo. He was watching Uraraka.
"I think it's about time." Uraraka said. Bakugo gasps. "Thank you, Bakugo for keeping your eyes focused on me!"
"What?" Bakugo said.
"I'm surprised Katsuki didn't notice." Freya said. Everyone looked at her again as she looked towards the sky.
"What you mean?" Mineta asked.
"You guys didn't know what's going on above the stands. She kept low to the ground as she moved, which meant Bakugo's blasts tore up the floor of the ring, creating weapons for her. And then she kept him focused on her by attacking relentlessly, without rest. Rendering him oblivious." Freya said, pointing up to the sky. Rocks were floating up in the air just above the stage. "You guys really think Deku is the only one that likes to observe fights." Freya smirked. Uraraka lets a yell as she places her fingers together. The rocks start falling towards the ring.
"A meteor shower?" Present Mic asked.
"Now you notice." Aizawa said, bored. Izuku jumped to his feet.
"Hey, she had a plan all along!" Izuku said. Uraraka runs towards Bakugo. Bakugo reaches a hand to the sky. Freya watched. A huge explosion rips through the sky, destroying the rocks and sending Uraraka flying. Freya puts a hand over her face as air goes flying through the air. Screams run through the crowd. Uraraka laid on the ground.
"I figured you'd have some sorta stupid plan to beat me. You are friends with that damn nerd, after all.
'It took him one shot to destroy that.' Freya said with a proud look on her face.
"Bakugo bangs out a huge demonstration of power! He blasted apart Uraraka's finishing move and remains untouched!" Present Mic said. Bakugo brought his hand down. Bakugo breathes out. His hand was shaking. Uraraka lowered her head. Uraraka struggles to her feet. Bakugo got in a fighting stance.
"Alright then. Time for us to get serious. Uraraka!" Bakugo yelled. He charged at Uraraka. Uraraka turned to face Bakugo. But her knees gave and she collapsed to the ground. Freya and Jiro shot to their feet as Bakugo stops.
"Uraraka is down!" Present Mic said. Iida and Izuku were also on their feet. All of Class 1-A was on their feet.
"She's way past her limit." Freya said as Uraraka tried crawling towards Bakugo. He stood watching her. Bakugo gets ready for an attack. Uraraka lays her head down. Midnight came over and put her hand up to stop Bakugo. Bakugo stood straight.
"Uraraka is KO'd. Bakugo advances to the second round." Midnight said. Freya smiled as the crowd cheers. Bakugo's eyes lifted to the stands to see his class standing. His eyes search for a purple eyed girl. He found her between Jiro and Izuku. Freya saw him looking at her and smiled at him. She saw a hint of a smile on his face. Her checks burned as the memory of the kiss filled her mind.
'If Katsuki and I win our next matches, we face each other in the third round. This will be fun.' Freya thought. And that was the end of the First Round of matches.
AN: Holy crap that was a long one. Hope you liked the kiss. Till next time.
