With the first round concluded, Eraser Head began reviewing the outcome of the first match.
"Explain what you learned or would do differently." Aizawa said.
"Well, if I'm not brawling with my enemies, then my Quirk ends up kinda of useless." Kirishima spoke up as he removed his black wired guard around his face. "If that'd been real, Shiozaki would've just murdered me before I ever hit the ground."
"I need to be able to give more detailed instructions to the bugs I call." Koda said.
"And I pretty much killed it!" Kaminari smiled goofily as he thrusted his thumbs-up back and forth. "Thinking I probably made some new fans. It's cool. Those warm feelings aren't something you can control! Now, let's hear some praise. I'm not shy!"
"We lost Koda and Kirishima quick." Tsuyu said. "It was a blow to our team's morale. I wish we could've won without losing anybody but…we were sloppy out there."
Shinso looked down at his binding cloth with a disappointed look.
"The binding cloth." Shinso said exasperatingly. "I couldn't even use a tenth of what I'd learned from you. It's so frustrating."
"There's a reason that they call it training." Aizawa lectured. "The scarf is hard to use. Took me six years to master. Move on, but don't forget this feeling."
"Right." Shinso understood as he clutched his binding cloth tighter.
"Listen up." Aizawa said. He looked at Kirishima. "Kirishima, you should focus on forcing your opponent into a head-on fight."
"Yes, sir!" Kirishima said with a nod.
"Koda, it's exactly as you said. Increase the accuracy with which you control animals. Don't rush. Think about your enemy's weaknesses." Aizawa said to Koda.
Koda nodded his head in agreement.
"Kaminari! You weren't serious at the start! Are you only string if your team's in trouble?" Aizawa scolded at Kaminari.
"No." Kaminari answered with a childlike frown.
"Asui, focus on how to recover from a mistake instead of the mistake itself." Aizawa instructed to Tsuyu.
"Yes, sir!" Tsuyu said with a nod.
"Use what you learned today to improve your future." Aizawa lectured. "Dismissed!"
"Yes, sir!" Kirishima, Koda, Tsuyu, and Shinso said in unison.
"Yay…" Kaminari said lowly.
As Aizawa walked away, Shinso looked at his binding cloth and began fumbling with it that caught Midnight, All Might, and Tarot Chariot's attention.
"Even though he won, he's still painfully aware of his inexperience. Yet, instead of getting dismayed, he's replaying the match in his head to find ways to improve his performance, so that he dominates the next match." Midnight said to All Might and Tarot Chariot. She then squealed and writhed herself in pleasure. "It's so invigorating."
All Might and Tarot Chariot looked at Midnight with mild disturbance.
"Contain yourself." All Might said.
"It didn't work before and it won't work now." Tarot Chariot remarked.
Meanwhile, Vlad King tried to suppress his frustration with a twitching eyebrow as he began reviewing the outcome of the first match.
"Do you know why you lost? Or shall I explain it to you?" Vlad King asked.
All Class 1-B merely nodded their heads as their responses.
"Shishida was your focal point. Or wait. Was Shiozaki your ace?" Vlad King scolded heatedly. "If you'd only come together as a team, you could've taken them all."
"Mr. Vlad's eyes get so scary when he's mad." Tsuburaba shuddered.
"It's not in Shiozaki's nature to deceive." Momona commended as he walked past his teacher and his classmates. "Forgot to consider that, Beast man, didn't you?"
"You're correct. And as a result, we allowed our opponents time to come up with a plan." Shishida said with an ashamed face. He turned to Ibara. "You have my sincerest apologies."
"Hellfire spares no one." Ibara said.
"What a shame." Monoma said. His eyes turned to Shinso. "But I learned something swell. He's good. I'm looking forward to having him on my side." He then rushed over to Shinso with an eccentric face. "Shinso, buddy! Let's come up with a plan to make Class A cry like toddlers! Something that'll really ruin their lives."
Monoma's vocal voice caught Luna, Aisha, Selene, and Diana's attention.
"What a fucking weirdo." Diana remarked.
"You say it." Aisha agreed.
"This would be a perfect start to come up with a plan." Luna said.
"Smart idea, Luna." Aisha said.
Luna, Selene, Aisha, and Diana sat on the ground. They crossed their legs and started formulating a plan to claim their victory against the Shiroibara Quartet.
"In the sixth match, we're going against the Shiroibara Quartet." Luna explained. "We don't know much about their Quirks, so we need to execute a flawless plan on how we can approach them victoriously."
"How about combos?" Diana asked. "You know, a super move that could be a sneak attack or a last resort."
"Good idea." Selene agreed.
"That will definitely work to our strategy." Aisha concurred.
From Class 1-B's side, the Shiroibara Quartet followed the same plan development as Luna's team.
Midnight writhed herself in pleasure again at seeing Class A and Class B students working together.
"Feel that? Such passion! Such vigor! Like a spring awakening!" Midnight squealed with glee.
Midnight collapsed to the ground.
"It's winter, though." All Might corrected.
"Let her be." Tarot Chariot sighed.
All Might and Tarot Chariot turned their heads to observe Class 1-A students.
"The end of the year is almost upon us." All Might said. "Everyone's been working to develop their Quirks and perfect their ultimate moves." His eyes moved to Izuku chatting with his teammates. "Young Midoriya, too, has become better at using One For All. He learned Shoot Style and Air Force."
"Not to mention, our daughter Luna has also become better with Divine Trinity." Tarot Chariot added as she stared at Luna talking to her teammates. "She learned Starlight Shock and Exo Rockets."
"Most got provisional licenses." All Might said. "A few even fought against the Shie Hassaikai while our daughter and her friend fought against Carina. And bounced back. In the midst of all these events and troubles, they pushed on earnestly, reaching toward their goals. And now they have the chance to compare themselves to other students chasing the same dream."
"They'll gain a better understanding of where they are." Tarot Chariot smiled. "In a way, this is a rehearsal for the rest of their lives."
Vlad King and Eraser Head approached All Might and Tarot Chariot.
"So, All Might, what did you and your wife think of Shinso?" Vlad King asked.
"He's great. And he has guts." All Might noted. "It's also telling that the first emotion he felt after the match was 'frustration'."
"He was also very impressive with his support item." Tarot Chariot added. "It was a clever idea, for sure."
"This is a test for him." Aizawa said. "A good showing, and he could end up transferred. I'd wager he's eager to show off in his next match." He then turned to Vlad King. "Well, Vlad. A lot left to go."
"I know." Vlad King said.
Vlad King walked up past Eraser Head and inhaled an amount of air into his mouth before gaining Class 1-A and Class 1-B students' attention.
"Second round teams, to the field!" Vlad King shouted.
The preparation for the second round was set to begin. The teams of second round battle are Tokoyami, Hagakure, Yaoyorozu, and Aoyama vs. Komori, Kendo, Kuroiro, and Manga.
As both teams walked to their starting positions, everyone stared up at the large monitoring screen for observation.
"Kendo seems like a really important part of your class dynamic." Sero said to Tetsutetsu.
"Yeah! She gets the job done, no matter what!" Tetsutetsu responded with a yell.
"Why're you yelling?" Sero asked as he quickly covered his ears.
"That's our brilliant class representative for ya!" Tetsutetsu continued. "She's smart and decisive, even under pressure! It's so awesome! She's also brave, risking herself on the front lines what others are counting on her! Not to mention her attitude rocks! Without her, we would've killed Monoma or become a buncha fools like him by now!"
"Uncalled for!" Monoma shouted in annoyance.
"Oh, shut up! You know it's true!" Diana snapped at Monoma.
"Think of her as our class's big sister Itsuka Kendo inspires all of us to do our best!" Tetsutetsu continued.
"It that's the case, I wonder if Yaoyorozu's plan will work." Shoto wondered offhandedly.
"Why, what's she up to?" Ojiro asked.
As Team 1-A started charging, Tokoyami released Dark Shadow and sent him soaring straight across the area, scouting the location of the other team at an increased range. In fast seconds, Dark Shadow managed to locate Team 1-B near a cluster of chimneys, allowing Tokoyami to transmit the information to his teammates.
Then, Dark Shadow began lunging violently at the opposing team all at once. He planned to take care of whoever he can catch first. With an instant boost, Manga's feet launched Shihai in the air. Shihai merged into the shadow of an overhead pipe just before Dark Shadow soared past underneath. That was Shihai's opportunistic chance to jump down from an overhead pipe and charged towards Dark Shadow.
Team 1-A continued rushing their way through a series of pipes. They noticed the sight of Dark Shadow returning towards them. Just as Tokoyami noticed Dark Shadow acting strangely, Dark Shadow unexpectedly punched him in the stomach that sent him flying to the wall.
Class 1-A students observed the second match from the monitoring screen.
"What's wrong with Dark Shadow?" Uraraka asked.
"He lost control!" Mina said.
"No. There's plenty of light out here, so Tokoyami should be in full command." Izuku said.
"What do you think, Luna?" Selene asked Luna.
"It's possible that one of Class B has a Quirk to possess Dark Shadow at their will." Luna said. "A Quirk that might be somewhat closer to Shinso's."
Dark Shadow kept attacking his own teammates, while struggling to break free from Shihai's control. Yaoyorozu, Hagakure, and Aoyama evaded Dark Shadow's claws as quick as possible. Dark Shadow then turned his attention to Aoyama, who began shaking his legs in fear.
Hagakure quickly jumped into the air, warping the sunlight around her invisible body with a powerful flash of light. Dark Shadow groaned as he couldn't resist the shining amount of flashing light.
Tokoyami slowly stood on his feet and called out to Dark Shadow, who managed to return to his partner. That also forced Shihai to jump out of Dark Shadow and into the opening air.
Shihai landed safely to the ground and started running away. but Yaoyorozu quickly created and threw nets from her body. One of the nets missed the dashing Shihai, while the other net successfully managed to catch and restrain him to the nearest pipe. But it wasn't long until Shihai quickly escaped into the pipe's shadow.
Then, Shihai laughed with glee as he reappeared from the shadow above Team 1-A. He looked down at Tokoyami, vocally declaring his goal to vanquish him because they shared a hallowed destiny of darkness. Accepting his rival's challenge, Tokoyami removed his black cloak and told him about his new Super Move, which made Shihai tense up at the name of Tokoyami's Super Move: Black Fallen Angel.
Shihai then laughed for a second and sunk into the shadow, gliding around the pipes around Tokoyami, Yaoyorozu, Hagakure, and Aoyama. That made Team 1-A look around on high alert. Using misdirection as his advantage, Shihai grabbed Aoyama's cape and snatching him up. Aoyama's scream caught Team 1-A off guard as they watched Shihai dragging their teammate deep into the maze of pipes. To Shihai's mind, speed is his greatest advantage and believed that no one will be able to catch up with him.
Suddenly, Tokoyami soared through the air and chased after Shihai, who quickly took notice in complete shock. Dark Shadow wrapped himself around Tokoyami under his black cloak and opening his clawed hands in a wing-like fashion.
Three Class 1-B students couldn't believe what they are seeing with stunned faces.
"Wait, he can fly?" Yosetsu, Setsuna, and Togaru yelled out in bewilderment.
Class 1-A looked equally speechless as well.
"Look at Toyokami go!" Uraraka smiled.
"It's a new move!" Mina cheered.
"But how's that possible?!" Mineta questioned.
"The principle behind it is so simple!" Izuku explained. "Dark Shadow is always floating so he can hold onto Tokoyami and carry him through the air! And by covering himself with a cape, Tokoyami can block the light that weakens his Quirk in order to achieve a continuously high output! Plus, with that hold, Tokoyami's hands remain free to do whatever he needs!"
Mina, Uraraka, Mineta, Sato, and Tsuyu looked slightly confused by Izuku's explanation.
"Really, people?" Luna sighed in annoyance. "It's a brilliant move that Toyokami was came up with. It was a perfect advantage to use his Quirk against the light."
"So obvious that it didn't cross our minds, but he figured it out and look how's perfect it's working!" Izuku added. "It's kind of like he's cut through his own personal Gordian Knot! So cool! Whoa, I'm impressed!"
With increasing speed, Tokoyami continued flying after Shihai. He caught up to Shihai and grabbed Aoyama back before soaring away high in the air. At Yaoyorozu's words, Aoyama fired successive sparkly twinkling laser beams that lit up the whole area to remove all the hidden shadows around the pipes. With the shadows disappeared, Shihai jumped out and landed onto the pavement. Hagakure and Yaoyorozu followed after him, where they quickly cornered him.
Hagakure and Yaoyorozu charged forward to make an effort on capturing Shihai, who was leaping away with a confident smile.
Then suddenly, a mushroom appeared on Yaoyorozu's nose. Several mushrooms began forming all over Hagakure's body, efficiently removing her stealth. That made Shihai giggle from his position.
Elsewhere, Kendo and Manga waited from their hiding spot on the other end of the area.
With a grin, Kinoko began covering everything in her mushrooms spreading all around her.
Enjoy and review.
