Chapter 38: Wanda vs Fletcher
Kouna quickly uses her mind reading ability to hear Izenko's thought about how she's not only had extreme strength, but she also has a very strong monster just before the sports festival. Izenko then let Fletcher out again before giving him a max potion to get him back to full health again. the match then continues as Kouna and Izenko gives their monster a command to attack until the monsters took a breather after an explosion. Suddenly, Wanda starts to evolve from a flamgrel to hot dog, causing everyone, especially Kouna and Izenko to be amazed as Wanda smiled at Kouna. Kouna then smiled back at Wanda before telling her to use fire pledge against Fletcher, causing Izenko to tell Fletcher to counterattack as a montage begins with Kouna telling Wanda to use pyro ball before a super move called inferno overdrive. The montage then ends with Wanda surprising everybody by using a new move called flame whip to hit Fletcher's wings.
As the battle continues, Wanda recalled a flashback of herself as a baby with her three brothers, two sisters, and her mother. Suddenly, a door to their home rises, showing two dog catchers that's going to take them to the pound. However, Wanda was left behind, which caused her to run out and try to find her family. First, she searched near her home until she encountered pigeons, who then made fun of her looks. Wanda then searched for her family at the island's dog park, causing some kids to get become excited and tries to play with her, which caused her to panic and ran off to continue searching for her family. After hours of searching and almost getting herself killed three times, it started to rain, causing a saddened Wanda to hide in a box and whimpers until Eraserhead found her and took her in. the flashback then ends the next day before the villains' raid at the Ultimate Battle League stadium, where she meets Kouna and did hardcore training with her to get stronger. Izenko then starts to think for a second before dynamaxing Fletcher, causing Kouna to do the same with Wand much to her family's surprised because they thought that she does not like to read things (which would include the Monster Training Handbook). Soon, Kouna and Izenko told Wanda and Fletcher to unleash their max move, causing an explosion to erupt when the moves fused together. Kouna then gets an idea and told Kouna to use max lightning much to Izenko's shock as Fletcher gets knocked out. Everyone then cheers for Kouna as Gentle and Labrava announced Kouna the champion of this year's champion, causing everyone, including the IHWO, and except Hisashi to rushed toward Kouna to hug and kiss her as they congratulate her. Izuku then takes Gentle microphone before saying that this calls for a celebration as he wraps an arm around Kouna, which caused her to blush as everyone cheers and chants her name.
during the celebration party, everyone from U.A. Academy decided to apologize to her for looking down at her before asking her for her autograph, causing Kouna herself to forgave them before asking about her twin brother. Kurei then told Kouna that Hisashi is the only one who's outside, causing Kouna to go to him and asks him what's wrong. After Hisashi congratulates Kouna for becoming champion of the fifteenth sports festival, he told her that he was just thinking about their match during the third round, causing Kouna to give him a sympathetic look before telling him to cheer up because being depressed will not lead him into becoming a pro hero, which also caused Hisashi to give her an emotionless look before agreeing with her. Hisashi then told Kouna to head back inside because they are going to give her a trophy soon, causing Kouna herself to get up and take her brother by his hand, so they can go back inside together. Soon, Ochaco announced that Dora is in third place, Izenko is in second place, and finally, her Kouna is placed in first place, causing everyone, including Dora and Izenko to cheer as Kouna blushed while holding her gold trophy.
