Chapter 11: Magic vs Zero Gravity
Later after Tokayami's win in the 12th round, Shotaro dusted his fedora making his way to the ring while thinking to himself.
"I can't believe that we've made it this far! I'm not going to waste my opportunity and lose on the first round! That would totally spit on Haruto's hard work! So, show me what you got Awase!"
Present Mic: Moving on to the 13th round! We have two Class 1-B students! Hidari Shotaro going head-to-head against Yosetsu Awase!
Shotaro: Before this fight starts, I just want to warn you that I'm going hard boiled this time! I can't afford to lose here!
Awase: We'll see about that Shotaro...
After Midnight yelled out "START!" Awase pulled a metal piece out of his pocket to run towards Shotaro.
Shotaro: Oh? It seems like you've came prepared! Trying to weld me down to the ground so the fight will end, huh?
Yosetsu Awase
Quirk: Weld
Awase is able to weld object together by fusing the atoms. As long as he touches both objects, he's able to weld them together. He can also fuse them with organic beings as well.
As Awase was about to touch Shotaro, Shotaro quickly dodged and kicked him in the back making Awase fall forward.
Shotaro: Don't think that it would be easy to touch me, I don't think that I have to use my quirk for this battle.
From annoyance, Awase put back the metal piece and began to throw punches towards Shotaro. But Shotaro dodged and punched Awase across the face. As he was falling, Awase quickly grabbed hold of Shotaro's left arm and flipped him down to the ground.
"Damn it! He let me punch him on purpose!"
Awase than grabbed the metal piece once again to fuse the piece with Shotaro's hand to the ground.
Awase: There, you're done for.
As Awase was heading towards the exit, he stopped and turned back when he heard Shotaro laughing.
Shotaro: Damn...and I was hoping that I wouldn't use it, but you left me no other choice.
Shotaro than turned to the crowd and yelled "PHILIP!" as loud as he could confusing everyone except for the 1-B students. In the seats with the students, Philip sighed out of annoyance while closing his book that he was reading.
Philip: You had to make it more obvious, huh?
As Philip was getting up, some 1-B girls began to squeal out of excitement.
Setsuna: Oh my gosh! Raito is finally going to help!
Pony: He's so cute! Good luck Philip!
Philip than reached out his hand toward Shotaro while he did the same thing with his other hand. Suddenly, Philip's eyes went blank and sat back down lifeless. Meanwhile Shotaro began to focus on his trapped hand making the metal piece melt by his arm heating up rapidly.
Awase: I-Impossible!
After Shotaro freed himself, he got up while shaking his freed arm.
Shotaro: It's like what I told you from the start, I'm going hard boiled this time!
Hidari Shotaro
Quirk: Soul Forward
Shotaro is able to transfer someone's soul to his body for him to use his or her quirk. But he must have a very close relationship with that person to do so.
Sonozaki Raito (Philip)
Quirk: Gaia
Philip is able to turn his body into Earth based elements. The only three he's able to is make his body lighter similar to a cyclone, heat up his body in an extreme temperature, and turn his body into rubber.
Philip: "Look alive Shotaro, he's coming towards us."
Shotaro: No worries, I got this!
As Awase was making his way towards Shotaro, Shotaro stretched his arm to wrap around Awase to repeatedly smack him to the ground until he fell unconscious.
Midnight: Hidari Shotaro has passed this round! He is able to continue in round 2!
After a tie between Kirishima and Tetsutetsu in the 14th round, Uraraka was preparing herself while remembering Iida's warning.
Before Uraraka exited her seat to make it to the waiting room, Iida caught her attention by calling her name.
Iida: Ochako, I would be careful if I were you. I saw your opponent's quirk during the Human Cavalry challenge and it seems really powerful.
From what Iida said, Uraraka's eyes widened while she began to stutter.
Uraraka: A-Are you serious?! N-Now I'm even more nervous!
Yusuke: Don't be, focus on your own strength and focus on how to beat him. Winning or losing, we'll still be rooting for your victory.
The three boys nodded while Uraraka began to smile.
Uraraka: Thank you all, I'll win this for sure! For you guys' and for my parents!
As both students made their way to the ring, Present Mic began his announcement.
Present Mic: Okay everyone! We have another Class 1-A and 1-B showdown! We have Ochako Uraraka going against Soma Haruto!
After the announcement, Uraraka lost her focus when Haruto spoke up.
Haruto: So, you must be one of the 1-A students I see. I have a quick question; do you believe in magic by any chance?
From the question, Uraraka thought to herself before answering.
"What a strange question before a fight."
Uraraka: I guess I do...
Haruto: Good, because that gives me so much hope. Now I'm certain that I could wipe your arrogance away...
From the comment, Uraraka wasn't mentally prepared when Midnight yelled out "START!" but still began to run towards Haruto. As she was making her way towards him, she noticed that she was starting to float.
"What?! I didn't do this! Is it his doing?"
Haruto than created a red portal to stick his hand in to form a larger portal near Uraraka. Suddenly, a large fist came out of the portal to punch her to the ground.
Haruto: Don't think that I'm going to hold back just because you're a woman. I'll never hold back for anyone who is arrogant as you 1-A kids!
As Uraraka was getting up, a gust of tornado formed under her making her float up in the air. Haruto than canceled it to let her fall; but by his surprise, he saw that she was still floating and making her way towards him.
Ochako Uraraka
Quirk: Zero Gravity
Anything Uraraka touches, it loses its gravity until she cancels it.
Uraraka: Release!
Uraraka began to fall towards Haruto's direction and reached out her hand to touch him.
Haruto: Risky move I have to admit.
Haruto than created a portal in front of Uraraka; after she went through it, she quickly noticed that she was on the ground farther away from him. Suddenly, he used the ground to create a large slab to push it forward to crash onto her. As Uraraka moved to the side, she spotted Haruto close to her getting ready to throw a punch. But Uraraka quickly ducked and grabbed him by the stomach making him float.
"I finally got him!"
From her surprise, she heard Haruto's voice from behind.
Haruto: So that's how you were still floating, it's because you touched yourself to stay in the air. Clever.
She quickly glanced up to see that the Haruto in the air was a clone made of water. She quicky turned to touch Haruto, but he made a small portal in front of him making Uraraka's hand go through. Another portal appeared near Uraraka's face with her hand coming out making her accidentally smack herself to make her float.
Haruto: You 1-A students are a joke, none of you are able to land a hit on your opponents because your egos are too huge since you survived that villain attack! So huge that two of your peers used their hero suits to fight instead of being a man and use their quirks.
Uraraka finally had enough and snapped at Haruto.
Uraraka: You're wrong! You might think that we're arrogant and cocky because of some of our actions! But we're not all like that! You think we wanted to be in that attack?! I can't speak for anyone else but I sure as hell didn't! It just happened and most of us don't feel superior because of that! So, instead of running and using your quirk on me! How about you actually fight me like a man you claim!
Haruto quickly got annoyed but calmly accepted it.
Haruto: Fine, but remember that you asked for this.
Uraraka than canceled her quirk to land on the ground. Both of them gazed at each other's eyes until Uraraka made her first move by running towards him. As she was running, Haruto ignited his hands with flames preparing himself to attack. Uraraka was about to touch Haruto's chest, but he quickly dodged and punched her on the rib. After she fell, she quickly recovered to see many large stone slabs in front of her. They all began to move forward making Uraraka move past them, but out of nowhere Haruto suddenly leaped towards her to kick her in the back making her fall forward. He then created another slab to push it once again making Uraraka run past it until she suddenly collapsed by force. Uraraka tried to move her body but failed.
Haruto: I hope that's enough hand-to-hand combat for your liking. But it's time to end this, that's why I casted a gravity spell on you to easily end this. Any last words before your defeat?
Uraraka stopped struggling and began to smirk.
Uraraka: Yeah, but just a question. Have you wondered why you haven't seen your slabs lately?
Haruto was confused until he turned around and noticed that all of the slabs he used is not in the ring.
Uraraka: Also, I would look up if I were you.
Haruto did just that to be surprised to see that all the slabs and broken stones were floating in the air.
Haruto: W-What?! When did-
Uraraka: When you punched me in the rib, I had a plan to touch your remaining stones to put it against you for this moment. Now, with all of the explanation out of the way, release...
Suddenly all of the slabs and stones began to fall towards the arena.
"Is she crazy?! Is she trying to kill us?! This is such a reckless move!"
Haruto than focused on the falling stones and used his quirk to stop all of them. Suddenly, he felt Uraraka grab him by the ankle making him float away from the ring.
"So, this was her plan? I have to respect her for that. This is where I admit my defeat."
Uraraka: Release!
As Haruto was falling, he quickly made a big portal to release all the stones in. After he was finished, he met with the ground outside the ring.
Midnight: Ochako Uraraka has won this round! She can continue in round 2!
After Haruto caught his breath, he saw Uraraka limping her way towards the tunnel while holding her side. After she made it in, Haruto quickly caught up with her.
Haruto: Hey, wait a minute!
Uraraka than sighed out of annoyance before turning to face Haruto.
Uraraka: Haven't you had enough yet...?
Haruto: No, no it's not that. I just wanted to congratulate you for your victory. I admit that I was kind of harsh...
Uraraka: "Kind of"?
Haruto: Okay, really harsh. So, I want to apologize for my words and action. I thought that you all were arrogant who doesn't bother to pay attention to learn a true meaning of a hero since you all survived the villain attack. But, seeing how you planned that out proved me wrong and that you were telling the truth. And that gave me so much hope in you all, having my deepest respect for now on. So, please forgive me!
Uraraka began to smile and started to walk towards Haruto.
Uraraka: I forgive you, and I hope that we'll become fri-
Before Uraraka could finish her sentence, she quickly held her mouth but couldn't hold it any longer making her throw up on Haruto's gym uniform.
Uraraka: ….S-Sorry about that...
Haruto: No, it's okay. I deserved that...
After some reconstruction to the arena from the last round, the two students made their way to the ring while Present Mic began his announcement.
Present Mic: In the 16th round! We have two class 1-B students going head-to-head! We have the genius himself, Kiryu Sento! Versus the genius gamer himself, Hojo Emu!
As both boys were preparing themselves, Sento began to think to himself.
"How did I end up here? I was supposed to find a losing team, but because of that Mei girl I got sidetracked."
The flashback begins before the Human Cavalry Battle has started. Sento was walking around looking for a group to join until he noticed Midoriya and Uraraka talking to each other.
"They're from class 1-A, right? I know that green haired kid almost made it in first place, but screw it. He might not be lucky enough this time."
After Sento walked up to them, he began to introduce himself.
Sento: Hey, the name's Kiryu Sento from class 1-B. This seems like a small group; I think you both need a genius like me in your group.
Midoriya: Yeah sure, I honestly didn't expect anyone else to join us that qui-
Before Midoriya could finish his sentence, he was startled by a female's voice behind him.
?: HI! You're the one who made it in 2nd place but was almost in 1st place, right?
Midoriya: Y-Yeah, who are yo-
Midoriya was interrupted once again by the student.
?: Great! Because of that, you have so much attention! The name is Hatsume Mei and I'll be joining your group! I would join the guy who was in first place, but that jerk rejected my offer and even insulted my beautiful babies!
After Mei showed the group her gadgets, Sento's hair suddenly stood straight up from excitement.
Sento: WOAH! These are so amazing! Did you really make these?!
Mei: Of course I did! These beauties can do so much things! For example, this super-duper handy rocket boots would help the slowest hero out there! And these super amazing gloves! What's so special about it you may ask? Well on the left side it shoots out fire! And on the right side shoots out electricity!
Uraraka: D-Don't you think that's a little da-
Sento: AMAZING! But I bet those gadgets has nothing compared to these!
Sento than pulled out a small red and blue bottle from his pockets.
Midoriya: Bottles?
Mei: What's so special about those? They don't seem like it could shoot out fire or electricity!
Sento: They don't, but these bottles will temporarily give you the same quirk as some Pro Heroes! This red one over here has the Rabbit Hero: Miruko's quirk, and this blue one has the Steel Hero: Kamen Rider Birth's quirk. All you have to do is give them a little shake and you have their quirk for a minute and 30 seconds. Don't believe me? I'll just demonstrate for you.
Sento began to shake the red bottle and with a blink of an eye he disappeared. The three was confused for a moment until Sento tapped on their shoulders.
Mei: NO WAY! How did-?
Sento: From this Fullbottle I like to call them, I used Miruko's speed and I could also use her...
Sento than jumped 10 feet in the air to land behind them.
Sento: Extraordinary leap.
Uraraka: Wow! How did you manage to do that?
Sento: It's simple, all I have to do is take their DNA don't ask me how I got it and fuse it with a special element from the periodic table that most scientist couldn't find. And it's all thanks to my quirk that I was able to create these!
Kiryu Sento
Quirk: Genius
Whenever Sento closes his eyes to think and/or focus, his intelligence level becomes higher than an average human being's.
After Sento was finished with his explanation, Mei ran close to his face making him a bit flustered and think "too close" to himself.
Mei: This is something that I'm looking for! A perfect assistant to help me improve my babies! With your intelligence and my engineering, they will definitely notice how useful my work will be!
After Sento cleared his throat, he began to speak up.
Sento: That sounds interesting so I will help you with that, but with only two things in mind. First, I won't be your assistant that's a job for people with the same I.Q. as an ape. And secondly, it will be acknowledged as both of our work and not just your work or just my work. If you don't accept both of those offers than I will refuse to help you; now, do we have ourselves a deal?
As Sento offered a handshake, Mei thought about it for a moment until she finally shook his hand.
Mei: Deal! My babies will look spectacular!
Sento: Our babies...
Mei: Right, right.
After Sento sighed, he thought to himself once more.
"Jeez I think I know how Ryuga feels when he's with his girlfriend, that Mei girl is something else."
After Midnight yelled out "START!" Emu leaped towards Sento making him dodge from the attack. Suddenly after Emu jumped again, a large brown cube appeared under his feet and kept appearing as he kept jumping until he punched above him making another cube appear with a coin popping out. After Emu caught the coin, a white hammer with two pink and lime green buttons appeared in his hand while it announced the weapon.
Gashacon Breaker!
Emu: Now I'm fired up Sento! I'll win this with no continue!
Hojo Emu
Quirk: Video Game
Whenever Emu leaps or jump, he is able to create a platform based from video games. Some blocks he creates has an item to power him or anyone else up.
After Emu jumped down to attack, Sento quickly moved out of the way to grab an orange Fullbottle from his pocket to shake it. As Emu was about to attack once again, Sento suddenly grew large orange wings from his back which amazed the crowd. Sento than flew past Emu to stay in midair and shoot out some of his feathers towards him.
"Hawk's quirk will definitely come in handy for now since Emu uses close combat."
After Emu blocked the feathers with his weapon, he jumped to punch above him to reveal another block with a coin. Emu quickly grabbed the coin making it announce the name.
Speeding-Up!
Emu: Don't try running away from me!
Sento continued to use his feathers to attack Emu making his wings slowly shrink, but Emu ran past the attacks with high-speed and leaped towards Sento reaching close to him.
"C-Crap! I have to quickly grab another bo-!"
Before Sento could finish his thoughts, Emu clicked the "B" button on his weapon to hit Sento in the head while Emu yelled "Critical~! FINISH!" knocking him out from the air to land in the ring.
Midnight: Hojo Emu has passed this round! He may continue to round 2!
As the crowd was cheering, Emu was waving to everyone while the medics came to pick up Sento's unconscious body.
Present Mic: Now finally folks! The round that we've all been waiting for! The final round of round 1! Here comes Katsuki Bakugou from class 1-A heading towards the ring looking serious as ever! And now here comes Tendou Souji also from class 1-A with the confidence in his face! I know that you all are ready to see these two students finally go head-to-head, I am as well the same as Mr. Sleepyhead right here!
Aizawa: Just shut up and watch...
After both boys made it to the ring, they began to stare at each other's eyes while Bakugou gave Tendou a sinister smile. They were focused on each other until Midnight yelled out "START!" making Bakugou quickly ignite his palms to boost himself towards Tendou, but Tendou quickly activate his quirk to move to the side and kick Bakugou in the stomach making him fly back. As Bakugou was landing, he ignited his palms to stop himself before he could lands outside the line.
"As what I thought, he's fighting without a plan. This match will be a piece of cake."
As the smoke was clearing out, Bakugou was getting up while his palms were slowly igniting.
Bakugou: Bastard...you think that you're hot shit, huh? I'll make sure that I wipe that smug look off of your face WHEN I KILL YOU!
Bakugou began to boost himself once more making Tendou activate his quirk again. As Bakugou was moving slow, Tendou began to think to himself while walking behind him.
"He will never learn; all he is and always will be a brainless idiot who'll just fight without knowing the consequences. Let's just hurry and end this."
Before Tendou attacked, he noticed that Bakugou used his explosion to turn around to face Tendou and igniting his other palm towards him.
"Wait a minute, it can't be! He's using the same move he did to Midoriya in that Indoor Training! He must have figured out that I would attack from behind!"
Suddenly, Tendou's quirk was canceled. But before Tendou knew it, a large blast exploded right in his face while Bakugou yelled out "DIE!" From the attack, Tendou passed out after landing the fall.
Midnight: Katsuki Bakugou has made it to the 2nd round!
Present Mic: Holy smokes folks! What a quick round that was! It's very fitting since that's Tendou's specialty! Now stay tune after the break so that you won't miss round 2!
End of chapter 11
