Chapter 36: Final round: monster face-off

Meanwhile, Hisashi found his way to where his classmates are sitting before asking Tenso what he should do to make sure his loss against Kouna doesn't happen again, causing Tenso himself to tell him that he could give training his body a try, so he can be ripped like Kouna, which also caused Hisashi to make it clear that he uses his brain during combat and not brawn. He then told Tenso to forget it before saying that he'll find a way to up his game without violence. Back at the waiting room, Midnight told everyone that they have three minutes until the final round begins, causing everyone to say ok as Otto and Izenko went to talk to Kouna about her match against Hisashi. They then ask her what her next step is to break Hisashi's pride entirely, causing Kouna to think shortly before getting pumped up as she says that she'll keep working alongside her brother until he acknowledged her, which also caused Otto and Izenko to look at each other before shaking their heads. Izenko then told Kouna that now that Hisashi sees her as a rival, she needs to keep working hard to become a pro hero and remind him about the good times they have together, which means that Kouna must keep on studying and take everything seriously for now on, because once they encounter the Warcraft of Doom again, things are going to be filled with blood. Kouna then gasp because agreeing to try to take everything seriously to get Hisashi back to his old self again, causing the boys to rub her on the head before leaving.


Soon, the final round begins as the crowd cheers wildly when Kouna and Otto got onto the battlefield with Wanda and Otis, causing Gentle and Labrava to revealed Kouna and Otto's updated description. Kouna's description is "Kouna is the daughter of the famous Izuku and Ochaco Midoriya. She made it here after defeating her twin brother Hisashi and her monster is Wanda the Flamgrel. After the sports festival, she's going to try to get the number 1 spot in a future World Hero Billboard Awards." After the crowd cheers, Labrava revealed Otto's description, which is Otto the son of Shoto and Momo Todoroki. He made it here after defeating Tarafukay and his monster is Otis the Lakapult. After the sports festival, he's going to keep working hard until he's the most powerful pro hero in the world. Otto then laughs smugly before internally saying that this will be an easy match since fire types are weak against water types. Kouna then told Wanda to use inferno smash, causing Otto to tell Otis to use water pledge. However, Wanda surprised everyone by knocking Otis out in one hit because since she's been hardcore training with Kouna, Wanda is apparently on level 20, causing Otto and the rest of Class 1a (except Hisashi) to become shocked before realizing that explains why Kouna beats them so easily during their training with their monsters. Otto then shakes Kouna's hand before wishing her luck in part 2, causing Midnight to become ecstatic by the youthful vigor before announcing that Kouna will moves on to part 2 of the final round.


Meanwhile on the VIP section, Gwen and Henry were flabbergasted by Kouna's easy victory until Tucker told them that Kouna must've spent too much time training her monster instead of training her brain, causing Eri to agree before revealing that Kouna may not be smart, but she is clever and extremely strong, which made her one of the three strongest members of Class 1a along with Otto and Izenko. A flashback of class 1a's training before the sports festival with class b, Waldo, Hannah, and Eric then begins as it takes place in the front yard of the Midoriya Mansion. Class 1a then show off their quirks before everyone but Hisashi does a battle royale match, with each of them split into seven teams. The flashback then ends with Kouna, Otto, and Izenko being the only three left, which proves them as three strongest future pro heroes. Soon, the second match (which is between Dora and Tamaki jr.) begins as Dora turn to pray, much to Tamaki Jr.'s confusion.
