Chapter 13: Survivor of the Fittest!

As both Iida and Yusuke were walking down the hallway, they stopped when they saw their friends running towards them as they waved and called their names until they stopped to meet with the two.

Yusuke: Wow guys, I didn't expect you to come and meet us here!

Iida: I hope you three enjoyed the fight!

Uraraka: We totally did! You two were amazing!

Ryotaro: It put us in the edge of our seats!

Midoriya: Yeah, it was incredible!

From them praising the boys, Yusuke rubbed the back of his head while Iida adjusted his glasses as the two boys smiled.

Yusuke: Aw, thanks guys.

Iida: We wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for your support.

As they continued to have their conversation, Gentaro turned the corner with bandages on his face until he stopped to see Midoriya and his friends in the middle of the hallway. A smile spread across his face before he ran towards them.

Gentaro: HEY! I FOUND YOU!

From Gentaro's shouting, the group turned to his direction to see him run towards them.

Midoriya: Oh hey! Gentaro, right? It's good see you!

Gentaro: Yeah, the nurse told me to just rest for a bit before I could meet up with you again! Oh, and these must be your friends that you mentioned! My name is Kisaragi Gentaro from Class 1-B! And I'm going to befriend everyone I meet no matter what!

From his enthusiasm, Uraraka giggled before speaking to introduce herself.

Uraraka: Wow! You have a lot of energy for someone who just visited the nurse! My name is Ochako Uraraka, it's nice to meet you Gentaro!

Iida: Yes, my name is Tenya Iida; it's a pleasure to meet you.

Yusuke: Godai Yusuke, glad to finally meet you!

Ryotaro: M-My name is Nogami Ryotaro, it's nice meeting you.

Gentaro: It's great meeting you guys too! Midoriya here told me that he made a promise to you guys and that really touched me! But, I'm kind of disappointed that the pink girl isn't here with you guys.

From hearing the nickname, the five were confused.

Midoriya: "Pink girl"?

Uraraka: Are you talking about Mina?

Gentaro: Oh, so you guys are friends with her! I was hoping to meet her ever since I saw her battle, but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to do it!

Yusuke: Why not Gentaro? Do you have a crush on her?

From what Yusuke said, Gentaro had a blank expression showing his confusion as he repeated what he said.

Gentaro "A crush"?

Uraraka: Oh! That could be it! That's so adorable! I could help introducing her to you!

Gentaro: N-No, it's too embarrassing! I'm afraid what she might say!

As they continued their conversation, Iida felt a vibration from his pocket before grabbing his phone to see his mother calling him.

Iida: Excuse me, I need to take this for a moment.

Midoriya: Okay, we'll meet you in our usual seats.

Iida nodded before answering the phone as he opened a door to an empty break room.

Gentaro: Huh, it must be an important phone call.

?: It must be.

Gentaro quickly jumped from being startled when he heard a female's voice speak up behind him. He turned around to see Mina chuckling from Gentaro's reaction.

Mina: I'm sorry for scaring you, it was such a perfect opportunity to do so!

Uraraka: Oh Mina! It's a good thing that you're here because Gentaro here wanted to meet you!

Uraraka nudged at Gentaro while sweat drenched his uniform as he tried to form a smile.

Gentaro: Y-Yeah! I-I just w-wanted to t-tell you that y-you did great d-during your l-last match!

As Gentaro continued to sweat as he made an awkward smile, Mina chuckled before patting his shoulder.

Mina: Thanks, your fight was awesome too! But it's funny that you mentioned it because I was just heading to my next match!

Midoriya: What a coincidence, you're facing Wataru next right?

Mina: Yeah, I'm a little nervous because of his skills and his quirk.

Yusuke: Don't be, just focus on how you can counter him and win the match.

Uraraka: Yeah, we'll be rooting for you to win!

From them comforting her, she nodded before giving them a thumbs up.

Mina: Thanks everyone, I needed that! It's time for me to kick some butt! Wish me luck!

As Mina continued to make her way around the corner, the four waved to her before walking the opposite way leaving Gentaro as he stood frozen in the same spot before Uraraka came back to help push him forward.

Uraraka: Come on big guy, we'll miss her fight if you keep standing here.


Present Mic: Okay everyone! This is the battle of the decade! Give it up for Ashido Mina and Kurenai Wataru!

After both students made it to the arena, Mina gave Wataru a thumbs up as she smiled brightly.

Mina: Let's do our best Wataru! Let's give them the best show they've seen so far!

Wataru said nothing as he gave her a small nod while nervously sweating. After the two stood in their fighting stances, Midnight yelled "start" causing Mina to produce acid onto the ground to skate towards Wataru. As she made it close to him, she covered her hands with acid before throwing it causing Wataru to perform a backflip to dodge. After landing on his feet, he quickly ran towards Mina to do a roundhouse kick; but failed when Mina blocked before grabbing hold of his leg burning it with her acid. After grunting, he managed to escape before backing away from her.

Mina: Nice try buddy! I knew that it would be dangerous if you were close! That's why my acid would help me keep my distance!

As she continued to skate around Wataru, she began to throw acid towards him in different directions as he struggled to dodge with a damaged leg. Suddenly, she quickly jumped to spin mid-air causing droplets of acid to shoot out as she yelled out "Acid Sprinkler!" Wataru quickly covered his face causing his uniform to form holes with burn marks before Mina stopped to kick him in the chest causing him to fall backwards. After landing on her feet, the crowd began to cheer as she waved at them while Wataru struggled to stand back up before Kivat peaked his head out of his pocket.

Kivat: She's a dangerous foe Wataru, it'll be hard for you to fight traditionally! We need to fight fire with fire!

Wataru took a deep breath before nodding his head. Kivat began to dig inside the pocket to place a green fuestle in his mouth to blow it.

Basshaa! Show your true form!

As Mina continued to wave while chuckling, she stopped to look back when she heard Wataru say "hey" in a childish way.

Wataru: Hey, hey! You're celebrating a little too early, don't you think?

Wataru began to inhale before shooting a water bullet but missed when she quickly ducked.

Mina: Woah, that was a close one!

Before he could shoot another one, Mina began to skate once again to throw more acid towards him causing the bullet to fly past it. Wataru quickly dove to dodge the acid before spitting out more water bullets towards Mina but missed when she continued to skate around the arena.

Wataru: Hey, hey! Hold still would you?

Mina: Why would I do that?!

As they continued to shoot each other with their liquids, Mina began to notice that the ground was drying out along with her palms.

"Damn it, I'm running out of juice here! I need to end this as soon as possible!"

Mina quickly thought of a plan before throwing her acid mid-air towards Wataru causing him to dodge the attack. After moving, he noticed Mina was closer to him before punching him in the stomach then across the face causing him to fall. As he was falling to the side, he quickly did a cartwheel to stand upside down to spit a water bullet aiming towards her stomach and the middle of her face causing Mina to stumble backwards while grabbing hold of her face. After recovering, she met with Wataru's feet as he kicked her across the face before kicking her once again on the chest causing her to move backwards near the end of the line. After looking back to see the line, she turned to see Wataru as he began to wave at her before saying "bye, bye!" He then inhaled once again before shooting one last water bullet at Mina causing her to use her arms to block but fell backwards from impact passing the line.

Midnight: Wataru is the winner of this round! He may proceed in the Semi-Finals!

As the crowd continued to cheer, Kivat exited Wataru's pocket with a fuestle in his mouth before he began to blow on it.

Wake up!

Wateru quickly reverted back to normal before seeing Mina laying on her back outside of the line.

Wateru: Oh gosh, U-Um...

After opening her eyes, she saw Wataru above her drenched in his own sweat while shaking trying to offer her his hand. Mina chuckled before accepting it helping her stand back up.

Mina: Man, your fighting skills are no joke! You need to teach me a few things!

Wataru tried to respond but failed when he kept stuttering his words until Mina rested her arm around his shoulder.

Mina: And you use some kind of hip-hop dancing while fighting! I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't get the chance to experience that but you could teach me that too in a fight! Let's talk more about it on our way to the nurse's office!

As she was dragging Wataru towards the exit, he continued to stutter before turning back to look at Kivat with a concern look on his face as Kivat began to chuckle.

Kivat: I'm glad to see you make new friends Wataru!


Later, Kenzaki was walking down the hallway until he noticed Tokoyami walking around the corner. Both boys continued until they walked past each other before Tokoyami stopped to speak up.

Tokoyami: Hey, Kenzaki. You're not going to transform before our fight, are you?

After hearing the question, Kenzaki stopped as well before turning his head back to look at him.

Kenzaki: I'm not sure, I guess we'll find out when we make it to the arena.

Before he could continue, he was stopped once more when Tokoyami spoke up to respond to his answer.

Tokoyami: I hope that you're aware that this isn't a good look for you or Inui, it makes the two of you look like cowards. It gives you a better advantage when you transform while the rest of us are using our quirks to fight.

Kenzaki began to clench his fist before turning around to walk towards Tokayami.

Kenzaki: You don't know me, you have no right to call me a coward! In fact, I'm doing all of you a favor to not show my quirk. If I do, it'll risk endangering everyone.

Tokoyami: Don't give me that excuse Kenzaki, everyone has a dangerous quirk; including me. This competition is to show off what you can do instead of cower away from it. If you're too afraid to use it, then being a hero isn't something that you should do.

Out of frustration, Kenzaki quickly grabbed Tokoyami by the collar before both boys began to hear Present Mic speaking to the crowd.

Tokoyami: It's not a good spot to fight here, you should save that anger when we're out there.

Kenzaki grunted before letting him go to continue to walk the opposite side from him.

"You'll regret looking down at me Tokoyami, don't expect me to hold back…"

Meanwhile outside, the crowd was cheering while Present Mic continued his announcement.

Present Mic: Okay folks, I know that you're excited to see our next fighters! The two students that made it from the first round, the bladed hero and the shadow hero! Give it up for Kenzaki Kazuma and Fumikage Tokoyami!

Both boys began to exit the tunnel before entering the arena. As they made it inside the circle, Kenzaki grabbed his driver to insert a card inside while Tokoyami began to cross his arms while shaking his head. The driver began to rotate around Kenzaki's waist with cards to strap in. As it was making a standby sound, Kenzaki stretched his right hand to the opposite side with his index finger pointing up before he yelled "Henshin!" as he pulled the lever of the driver causing it to speak up.

Turn up!

A blue holographic door appeared in front of him from the belt before moving towards him, changing into his rider suit before grabbing his Rouzer. As he stood in position, Midnight yelled "START!" before Kenzaki sprinted towards Tokoyami as his arms were still crossed. After preparing his weapon, Dark Shadow appeared out of Tokoyami to stop the attack by holding the blade of the Rouzer. Kenzaki managed to pull the weapon away from Dark Shadow before slashing it, but Dark Shadow quickly parried the attack before bum rushing him in the chest causing him to roll on the ground. After quickly kneeling back up, Kenzaki opened the Rouzer to grab two cards but dropped them when Dark Shadow rushed towards him to grab hold of his waist to lift him in the air. As Kenzaki began to struggle to escape, Dark Shadow looked back at Tokoyami as they both nodded to each other. Dark Shadow then grabbed Kenzaki with one hand before punching him towards the ground. As Kenzaki was falling, Dark Shadow followed him down to grab hold of him once again to crash outside of the ring.

Midnight: Tokoyami is the winner! He may proceed to the semi-finals!

The crowd began to cheer while Kenzaki reverted back to his uniform. As he was struggling to sit up, Tokoyami walked towards the end of the ring to look down at him.

Tokoyami: This is what happens when you fight with your rider suit, you might have an advantage in power, but you have a huge opening when you grab your cards. I hope that you consider this as a lesson to use your quirk next time.

As Tokoyami began to walk way, Kenzaki gripped the grass while green spikes began to appear from his arms. As Tokoyami continued, he stopped when he heard a monstrous voice yell out "HEY!" He then turns around to see Kenzaki back in the arena while slowly transforming into what looks like a monster with canine teeth, green and black spikes poking through his uniform and black antennas sprouting from his head.

Kenzaki: You want me to use my quirk, right? Fine! I'll show you my quirk you bastard!

From the sight of Kenzaki's appearance, Tokoyami's eyes widened before he began to charge towards him but stopped when the ground created a slab in front of him. Kenzaki quickly snarled before starting to lose his balance from suddenly feeling drowsy. As he finally fell, he was caught by Cementoss before Midnight walked towards them while fixing her ripped sleeve.

Nemuri Kayama

Quirk: Somnambulist

Whenever her skin is exposed, it releases a pink aroma causing anyone to fall asleep instantly. It works better for men than women.

Ishiyama Ken

Quirk: Cement

Whenever he touches any cement-based material, he is able to manipulate, deform and change the object's form or shape.

Midnight: Gosh, I was hoping I wouldn't have to use my quirk. It's always a pain in the ass to repair.

Cementoss: Fumikage, are you okay?

Tokoyami: Yes, I'm fine. Thank you, Sensei.

After bowing to both heroes, Tokoyami turned around to proceed to walk outside of the arena as he began to think to himself.

"That quirk of his, just what the hell is it? It's like a mutation quirk, but he transforms into it whenever he pleases."

Meanwhile inside the tent near the stadium's entrance, two male riders, one male and female heroes were watching the tournament from a small television until they noticed Kenzaki's change of appearance.

Death Arms: Well look what we have here, the kid actually showed off his quirk. It's about damn time, I was starting to think that he didn't have one.

Mount Lady: It's kind of creepy looking, almost as if he's transforming into a hideous monster.

J: Hey, Yu! That's not okay to say!

Mount Lady: Oh come on, is it so bad to point out the obvious?

J: That's not the point, you just don't say that to someone in general.

Death Arms: You must be this defensive because the kid's quirk reminds you of Shin's, huh?

ZO: It is similar to Shin's quirk now that you've pointed it out, I wonder if he's a patient of his.

The four heroes then heard the entrance curtain open revealing a mutated humanoid grasshopper wearing brown pants, a blue flannel shirt and glasses.

ZO: Speak of the devil, Shin we were just talking about you.

Before Shin spoke, he cleared his throat before speaking with a mutated bug voice as he took his time to form his sentences.

Shin: I. Apologize. For. Walking. In. So. Suddenly. I. Was. On. My. Break. Until. I. Heard. That. You. Four. Made. It. To. The. Festival.

Mount Lady: Yeah, it was exciting until that kid appeared again. But what interests me was his quirk.

J: "Interest"? Yu, you really are filled with surprises...

Mount Lady: Jeez, get off of my back already! You're talking as if you're my dad!

ZO: Please you two, there's no need to argue. But Yu is right, this kid didn't show his quirk the whole festival until now and we're wondering if he's a student of yours or some sort.

Death Arms: Take a look.

Death Arms began to rewind the television before stopping to pause on Kenzaki revealing his quirk. Shin took a look as he stroked his chin.

Shin: No. I've. Never. Met. This. Student. Before. I've. Only. Saw. Him. Today. Same. Goes. For. The. Other. Student. Who. Used. His. Rider. Belt. The. Whole. Day. I. Noticed. The. Two. Were. Trying. To. Avoid. Using. Their. Quirks. I. Should. Ask. For. Permission. To. Speak. With. These. Students. When. I. Get. The. Chance.


Later as the next match was setting up, Iida was walking down the stairs to meet with his friends. Yusuke looked up to see Iida have a concerned look on his face as it was also pale.

Yusuke: Hey Iida, are you okay? You don't look too well.

Uraraka: Yeah, you were gone for a long time. Is everything alright?

Iida: Thank you for your concerns, but I need to leave early.

Midoriya: What? Why? What happened?

Iida: It's my older brother, he was hospitalized by a villain.

Ryotaro: Oh gosh, is he going to be okay?

Iida: I'm not sure, that's why I need to go and give him my support. Yusuke, thank you for the great match and Uraraka I wish you luck on your next match.

Before they could say anything else, Iida began to walk back up to the stairs leaving the group behind. The four looked at each other with a worried expression until Gentaro suddenly shouted as Shotaro appeared from his side of the tunnel.

Gentaro: WOO! COME ON BEST BUDDY! YOU CAN DO THIS!

As Shotaro was walking towards the arena, he waved at the crowd as they continued to cheer. After making it, he saw Kirishima walk towards the arena as well with a smile on his face.

"Heh! This is going to be easy, what I've seen this guy's quirk is similar to Tetsutetsu."

Shotaro then raised his arm towards the crowd until Philip passed out.

Kirishima: I hope that you're ready, because I'm not going easy!

Shotaro: Alright Philip, this guy is easy. All I need to do is light my body on fire and hit as hard as I can effecting him when he uses his iron quirk.

Philip: "Wait, Shotaro. I don't think that's a good idea. I've analyzed his quirk and it-"

Before Philip could finish, Midnight yelled out "start" as Kirishima hardened his skin before running towards Shotaro.

Shotaro: Alright! Just like how we planned!

Philip: "Wait, Shotaro! Don't!"

Shotaro ignored Philip as his body began to engulf in flames. He quickly sprinted towards Kirishima as he ducked a punch from him until he used his flaming fist to punch him in the jaw. After the punch connected, Kirishima didn't show a reaction as Shotaro extinguished his flames before he grabbed his own hand as he began to yell from pain.

Philip: "I tried to warn you, his quirk is similar to Tetsutetsu but it's not made of iron. As I theorize his skin hardens more like a rock than anything else."

Shotaro: I wish that you could've said that sooner!

Kirishima: Man, you're not as strong as I thought that you were. Kind of disappointed, but whatever.

Before Shotaro could respond, Kirishima punched him in the face knocking him out with a swollen left eye.

Midnight: Kirishima is the winner of this round!


Later on, before the next round. Uraraka made it to the arena as she heard her friends cheer for her.

Yusuke: You got this Uraraka!

Midoriya: You could do it!

Ryotaro: She's really facing the Genius Gamer Emu this round, I would never expect how unique his quirk is.

Gentaro: Yeah! He really takes pride of his quirk, everyone in class mentioned that his love for video games is a best match for his quirk! Whenever we're practicing, he has that same look as if he's playing in those gaming tournaments!

Yusuke: That must mean that he treats these fights similar to how he plays games, he focuses and studies what move he can take without losing a life. He must be having that same exact mindset when he fight his opponents.

Midoriya: It must be, but I have faith that Uraraka can win this!

After the two made it to the arena, Emu began to analyze Uraraka as he thought to himself.

"This girl, she's going to be trouble. From the fight with her and Haruto, whatever she touches it will levitate. She's probably planning to charge towards me to touch either my chest, stomach or leg. If that happens then I'm finished, I just need to keep my distance until I could either take her out of the line or pin her down."

After Midnight yelled out "start", Uraraka began to run towards Emu as she lowered her head reaching her hand aiming towards his lower body.

"I knew it, she's trying to reach towards the leg or the stomach!"

As she got close, Emu leaped before a block appeared under his feet. He jumped once more punching above him before another block appeared spitting out a coin. Emu quickly caught the coin as it spoke up.

Iron-Body!

Suddenly, his entire body was covered in iron as he stared at his hands and body.

Emu: This isn't exactly what I was looking for, but this would do for now!

After Emu jumped off the block, Uraraka gasped before diving to the other side dodging a punch as he landed. After recovering, she stood back up as she began to think to herself.

"This isn't good, he's already planning ahead! This is going to be risky, if I try to touch him then it would leave me open and he could knock me out with that power-up!"

Uraraka's eyes suddenly widened as she thought of an idea.

"Those power-ups! With those, that could potentially help me win this!"

Uraraka quickly turned to run towards the block before Emu realized what she was doing.

"Is she going to try and get one of the Energy Item? There's a 50/50 chance of one popping out of each block, but I won't take that risk! I can't create any more blocks because it will give her the advantage!"

Emu began to run towards Uraraka as she finally made it close to the block.

Uraraka: Here goes nothing!

After embracing herself, she touched both of her shoes allowing her to float until she made it to the block. Emu stopped as he stared while gripping his teeth.

"Damn it, I'm too late! This iron body lowers my speed and jump boost!"

She then punched the block but nothing appeared surprising her.

"Yes! It's an empty one! This is my chance!"

Emu: Item off!

Suddenly, the iron began to disappear reverting back to his normal skin.

Emu: Awesome! My speed stat is back to normal!

He began to run before leaping towards Uraraka to kick, but missed when she canceled her quirk as she began to fall back down to the ground. After landing, he met with Uraraka to attack but missed once again when she ducked her head to reach for his stomach. Emu quickly moved his body to the side to dodge her hand before punching her across the face as she landed on the ground once more. Before he could do anything else, he began to hear whimpering from Uraraka as she continued to lay her head on the ground.

Emu: Oh no, I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean t-

As Emu got closer, Uraraka suddenly turned to touch him as she yelled "gotcha!" She quickly put her finger tips together as Emu began to float in the air.

Emu: Hey! Not fair!

Uraraka: Sorry! Had to get you close somehow!

As she giggled, Emu continued to float higher as he looked around to see what he could grab onto. Without thinking, he punched above him creating a block to prevent him from floating any higher. He quickly moved to the side to grab hold of the corners before Uraraka yelled out "release" leaving him dangling onto the block.

Midnight: Hojo! Are you still able to fight?

Emu: Yes! J-Just give me a moment!

After climbing to the top of the block, he looked down to see everyone staring up at him.

Emu: Damn, I let my guard down! That's a mistake that I won't allow again, I'll finish this match with no continue!

Emu jumped to punch above him to create another block but nothing appeared by his surprise.

Emu: Nothing came? Damn, then that must mean…

Emu stomped on the block he was standing on, but by his surprise a coin came out but at the bottom.

Emu: No! I didn't mean to do that!

From the mistake, Yusuke stroked his chin as he nodded.

Yusuke: I knew it, he's starting to think less because he's now back in the corner! You got this Uraraka!

Midoriya: This is your opportunity to win this!

Ryotaro: You have the advantage, you can do it!

As the coin continued to fall, Uraraka smiled before running close to catch it. After grabbing hold of the power-up, it began to glow as it spoke up.

Gashat!

After the light died down, it revealed to be a blue handheld device that looked similar to a gaming cartridge with a picture in the center of it.

Uraraka: What is this thing?

She then noticed a button before pressing it as it began to announce its title.

Bang Bang Shooting!

Suddenly, wooden barrels began to appear in the arena as the device in Uraraka's hand transformed into a black, blue and white magnum with two green and orange buttons. After noticing what she was holding, she quickly let go of the weapon dropping it on the ground.

Uraraka: A gun? Where did that even come from?!

Emu: She switched the platform without even knowing, this is my chance!

Emu jumped off of the block before creating blocks as stepping stones as he continued to jump down. Before landing, he jumped to punch above him creating a block above him spitting out a coin as he grabbed it before it spoke up.

Gashacon Breaker!

He grabbed hold of the weapon before he landed near Uraraka to attack. She dove to dodge as he continued until she glanced at the barrel behind Emu. She dodged once more before she began to run towards the barrel. He began to follow her until he leaped and pressed the "B" button as she finally made it to the barrel. She then turned to look up as she gasped to see Emu coming down with his hammer causing her to move to the other side to dodge the attack once more leading him to smash the barrel. As smoke cleared away, she looked around to search for the coin until she heard it speak up.

Liquefaction!

As he stood up, he had a smirk on his face as his body became translucent and liquified.

Uraraka: Are you kidding me?!

Emu: Sorry, but I've been in the game for too long to know what you were planning! That's why I have the power-up now!

He then ran towards her to use his hammer to attack but missed when Uraraka dodged to grab his arm but phased through surprising her.

Emu: Nice try! You won't be able to hurt or use your quirk on me! My body is now completely made out of liquid!

He then used his other arm to spray the liquid onto her causing her to slide on the ground from the pressure. As she opened her eyes, she saw Emu walking towards her until she glanced to her left to see the magnum she dropped. She quickly grabbed hold of it to point the weapon at Emu as he started to laugh.

Emu: Come on, do you really have the guts to use a firearm? Besides, it won't affect me-!

Suddenly, Uraraka pulled the trigger shooting past Emu completely missing him.

Emu: You missed; I think that you should practice with targets before using a weapon like that!

Uraraka: Who said that I was aiming for you?

Emu was confused until he turned around to see that she shot at a barrel destroying it as a coin was floating above it. Uraraka quickly kicked Emu across his legs causing his entire body to plop onto the ground creating a puddle. She then stood up to run towards the coin as the puddle began to chase after her until he leaped as his entire body formed back as he yelled "item off!" His body formed back to normal before he clicked the "B" button on the hammer.

Emu: Critical~! Finish!

Before he could attack with his weapon, he then heard the coin speak after Uraraka grabbed hold of it.

Reflect!

As Uraraka turned to look up once more, she lifted her arms up to cover herself until Emu's hammer made contact but the shield formed around her caused the hammer to ricochet back towards Emu's face quickly knocking him out as he fell to the ground.

Midnight: Ochako is the winner of this round!

As the crowd began to cheer, Sento laughed out loud as he pointed at Emu's unconscious body.

Sento: THAT'S HOW IT FEELS YOU JERK!

After the medics came to pick Emu up, Uraraka was in disbelief as she breathed heavy before standing back up.

Uraraka: Oh my gosh...I can't believe that actually worked...

Suddenly, she as everyone else began to hear Present Mic speak up.

Present Mic: Okay folks! Stay in your seats because we're going to move to a Conclusive Round between Ochako and Eijiro! The winner of this round will determine on who will move on to the Semi-Final against the monster himself! Katsuki Bakugou!

As everyone continued to cheer, Uraraka turned to see the big screen to see a picture of her and Kirishima being placed next to each other. As she was looking, she muttered "crap" to herself.

End of Chapter 13
