"OUR FIRST MATCH-UP WILL BE SUMIKO VEGAPUNK VS IBARA SHIOZAKI!"
"Alright, this outta be fun," Sumiko smirked as she sauntered to the arena.
"Alright, this is bound to be a treat, people!" Present Mic announced. "First, she's the Archmage with a thousand magic spells at her disposal! It's Sumiko Vegapunk! And her chosen opponent; the rose with the sharpest thorns, the assassin of Class 1-B, Ibara Shiozaki!"
Suddenly Ibara spoke up. "Excuse me, pardon the interruption. I'm questioning why you referred to me as an assassin. I came to this festival to prove my valor as a hero."
"Uh, right, I'm sorry."
"Gentlemen, I had no wicked or sinister reasons when I entered UA. I entered this school to help bring salvation to others. It's my deepest wish that I can bring joy to this world." Ibara said as she brought her hands together as if in prayer.
"I SAID I WAS SORRY!"
Aizawa just smirked at his best friend's humiliation. A part of him honestly wished that Ibara had been in his class.
"You're definitely a saintly girl, I'll give you that." Sumiko complimented. "Something tells me you'll make it far as a hero."
"I appreciate your generous words. And may I say that despite being classified as the Sin of Gluttony, you do not appear sinful...aside from your attire."
"Well, let's get a little Wrath going on then," Sumiko smirked. "No hard feelings?"
Ibara smiled. "Of course not. This is a contest of combat. Injuries are to be expected."
As soon as the match began, Sumiko pointed a finger forward as electricity built up at the tip.
"SHOCK STINGER!"
Ibara quickly stretched out the vines that composed her hair to form a shield to block the stinger-shaped lightning bolt fired at her. However, Sumiko swiftly used Soru to move behind Ibara and deliver a spinning kick to her side, knocking the girl over.
Ibara grunted as she sent several more of her vines to entangle around Sumiko's still outstretched leg and pull her to the ground. However, Sumiko took a small orb and flicked it underneath Ibara.
As soon as the orb shattered, a giant water dragon erupted and lifted Ibara into the air, dragging Sumiko along as well. The Seraph of Gluttony then commanded the dragon to push Ibara out of bounds while making sure not to cause serious injury upon impact.
"SHIOZAKI IS OUT OF BOUNDS! SUMIKO WINS!" Midnight announced to the crowd, who cheered.
"I hope you're not too hurt," Sumiko asked Ibara as she floated down with Air Walk before moving to make sure the vine-haired girl was okay.
"I am fine, thank you. It was an excellent match and I wish you and everyone luck in this competition!" Ibara said truthfully with her hands once again clasped together.
"You're too good for this world."
"Man, Sumi-Chan just kicked butt!" Izuku said as Kazuya nodded proudly.
"Her vast array of spells kept her ahead of Shiozaki's onslaught of vines."
"Alright, let's move on to the next match!" Midnight announced as the wheel spun again, landing on Kobeni vs Minoru.
"And there you have it! For the second battle, it's the short grape man with the sticky Quirk, Minoru Mineta! And his opponent, the bundle of nerves with a green thumb, Kobeni Higashiyama!" Present Mic declared.
"Okay, Kobeni has those weird plant pellets and her slingshot. Better be careful." Minoru thought to himself.
Kobeni was shaking nervously before swallowing her fear as she saw her friends cheering her on. Somehow, it managed to quell her anxiety just a tad. Taking out her slingshot as well as holstering a pouch full of Pop Greens, she got ready to battle.
"Are you ready for another match?" Present Mic questioned and the crowd cheered loudly for the next match.
"Begin!" Midnight cracked her whip and the match began.
"Take this!" Minoru immediately started tossing his hairballs at Kobeni.
Surprisingly, the nervous wreck of a girl managed to move at surprisingly fast speeds, sweat was pouring down her face as she took a Pop Green and aimed with her slingshot before firing.
Minoru couldn't tell what would come, so he braced himself as the Pop Green landed in front of him and suddenly small plant humanoids popped out and began to attack him.
"GREEN STAR: HUMANDRAKE!"
Minoru panicked as he tried to pull the humandrakes off of him. As soon as he got the last one off, he saw Kobeni rushing forward and swinging the blunt end of her slingshot like she was using a knife.
"Hey, whoa! Take it easy!" He yelped, dodging as he quickly threw more hairballs.
Kobeni dodged but Minoru kept up the assault, even as his scalp began bleeding. If he just covered the entire ring then Kobeni wouldn't have anywhere left to escape.
Despite being boxed in by the many sticky hairballs, Kobeni steeled her nerves as best she could and fired another Pop Green, this time, it popped to reveal several pinecones, much to Minoru's confusion.
"Wait, pinecones? What do those-"
"GREEN STAR: EXPLODING PINE CONES!"
The pine cones all glowed brightly and before Minoru knew it, they exploded with the force of grenades, sending him rocketing out of the stadium, a comical smoke trail behind him as he headplanted into the ground and was stuck like a vegetable in the dirt.
"Holy crap!" Denki exclaimed from his seat.
"Minoru Mineta is out of bounds, Kobeni Higashiyama wins!" Midnight announced as Kobeni fell on her butt, staring straight ahead while taking several deep breaths.
"Let's get the arena cleaned up and move on to the next match!"
DEVIL
After cleaning up Minoru's hairballs off the arena, the next match was the one between Mukuro and Denki.
"She's the Ultimate Soldier, a warrior with unmatched skill who has never suffered a single injury in battle! It's Mukuro Ikusaba!" Present Mic hyped up. "And her opponent, he was a stun gun but now he's been upgraded into a full-on electric power battery! It's Denki Kaminari!"
"I'm not a fan of hitting girls, but you're not exactly a normal girl, aren't ya?" Denki said as Mukuro nodded and formed a pair of Escrima sticks from flashes of light with her Quirk.
"Show me that you deserve those upgrades Ben-Kun gave you."
"And begin!" Midnight called out.
"MEGAWATT HAMMER!" Denki shouted, sending out a rocket of electricity but Mukuro just leaped over it.
"A surprising opening move, but not one I can't dodge."
Denki simply smirked before surprising Mukuro by thrusting his hands out, releasing a massive burst of electrical kinetic energy.
"ELECTROMAGNETIC SHOCKWAVE!"
Mukuro was sent flying back, quickly flipping through the air before righting her form and landing fluidly on her feet. Without missing a beat, she once more resumed her charge at Denki and this time, he was put on the defense as she began delivering a flurry of strikes with her batons.
"Whoa! So rough! At least take me out to dinner first!"
Mukuro grunted and ducked down for a sweeping kick, knocking Denki off his feet. As he landed on his back, Mukuro was on him in an instant, aiming one of her sticks toward his face as she pinned him to the ground.
"Yield."
"Okay, okay! Geez, whoever ends up dating you has their work cut out for them!"
"Denki Kaminari has yielded! Mukuro Ikusaba wins!" Midnight called out.
"There's only one man I'd ever consider dating..." Mukuro simply said as she helped Denki to his feet, her eyes slowly lingering on a certain black-haired boy with glasses watching from the stands.
DEVIL
"For Battle #4, we have the Seraph of Lust, who craves knowledge over carnal desire! It's Shun Vegapunk!" Present Mic announced. "And his opponent, a fully-equipped gadget dynamo, ready to show her stuff! Let's hear it for Mei Hatsume!"
Shun was decked out in various Support Items provided to him by Mei. The Support Course student had come to him and asked for their match to be a sales pitch for her inventions. Shun could see the logic in her desire and agreed to the terms.
So when the match began and Shun raced forward, he was unsprised when two silts erupted from Mei's backpack, while many others were.
"HYDRAULIC BRACERS!" Mei announced. "Get you out of harms way and motion activated so you can swat villains away!"
"With proper timing, you can also use the shock to knock out foes, too." Shun added after getting up from being swatted away. He took to the skies and fired arrows, which were also swatted away. Luckily, Makoto, Sumiko and Izuku made sure they didn't hit anyone.
"But wait!" Mei announced. "What if I lose my balance., you may ask? Well, that's what these babies are for….AUTO BALANCERS! They'll maintain balance no matter what…!"
"Within reason." Shun said, having gotten Mei and trying to punch her backpack, only to avoid another Bracer, but he did manage to fire an arrow at it, forcing the others back in…with Mei landing perfectly on her feet,
Shun raced to strike at her, with Mei demonstrating amazing agility and manuverability.
'That's not Haki…' The crew mused, Izuku's eyes going to Mei's boots and then realizing:
"ELECTRO-MAGENTIC SOLES!" Mei announced. "Makes moving far easier! And finally, but certainly not least…!"
The pink haired inventor smirked as she pulled out a gun she aimed an fired at Shun, placing him in a net. "THE CAPTURE GUN!"
'…It's just a net gun.' Garp and Whitebeard tjought together, not impressed at first; the Navy had such…wait a sec…
NOW they saw the value: Mei's was smaller but the net was even more affective than the trawls the Navy used.
'….I'm getting too old for this.' The two mused, then returned to enjoying the fight.
"And save so much time that would've been wasted fighting." Shun added to Mei's finishing speech. "Oh, and I yield."
"Time Out!" Mei said, making the gesture as she then turned to all the Support CEOs she wanted to impress.
"Those gadgets seem very useful for hero work."
"It'd be easy to market them, especially to heroes struggling against villains."
"A few tweaks to her creations and she could easily be the next great support inventor."
Beaming, Mei skipped over to Shun and planted a big kiss on his lips. The Seraph of Lust didn't seem to react though his eyes did widen slightly in mild surprise. After breaking the kiss, Mei walked off the stadium.
"Well, it looks like Mei Hatsume has decided to forfeit after that...expressive match!" Midnight giggled. "The winner is Shun Vegapunk!"
"Damn, that girl played for keeps there!" Hilda gawked, having almost choked on her bag of pretzels when she saw the kiss.
"I must say, this is Shun's first experience with romance. Wonder how he'll take it going forward." Chikara hummed.
DEVIL
"It's time for Battle #5! We've got the Soul Reaper of Pleasure and Good Times, Milo Belladonna! And his opponent, the dazzling living laser, Yuuga Aoyama!"
"Forgive me, Monsieur, but you can't beat my sparkle!" Yuuga smirked.
Milo pouted.
"Um, Aoyama was it?" Milo said. "I don't blame you, you didn't know, but…I'd prefer if you addressed me as They, them if you please….Milo-San will do if that helps."
Aoyama recoliled, as did several others.
"MON DIEU!" he gasped. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" So, so, so sorry!"
"YOHOHOHOHOOOO!" Milo chuckled. "No worries! Always funny to see the reactions."
"Still, Milo-san. It is the 24th century and we are aiming to be heroes. I must do better."
"And you will." Milo promised. "Now…lets say we go all out?"
With that bit cleared up, Midnight cracked the whip to start the match as Yuuga turned into pure laser energy and bolted toward Milo, who grinned and moved to meet their opponent.
"GAVOTTE BOND EN AVANT!"
Milo propelled themself forward at high speed with their cane sword pointed forward. They then coated the blade in Armament Haki as it struck Yuuga and bypassed his energy form, knocking him back but the Franco-Japanese boy quickly zipped around the arena in the form of a living laser.
Despite how fast their opponent was moving, Milo kept a cool head and closed their eyes. Soon, they opened them up and spun around, holding their cane sword in a defensive motion as Yuuga struck from behind.
"SOUL PARADE!"
As soon as Yuuga contacted the cane, a powerful chilling mist exploded out and engulfed him, completely flash-freezing him. Milo smirked and backed away, tapping the frozen boy to make sure he was alright.
"Call it, darling!"
Midnight nodded. "Yuuga Aoyama has been immobilized! Milo Belladonna is the winner!"
Milo then sheathed his sword and the ice shattered, freeing Yuuga as he fell to his knees and began shivering before Milo took out a blanket and wrapped it around him.
"You were pretty good."
DEVIL
"For Battle #6, this is a bit of a personal match-up, folks! Two childhood friends in an epic clash! The blade to banish all evil, Bakara Jurgen, and her opponent, the goddess of creation, Momo Yaoyorozu!"
"I feel like Present Mic was making a reference to something..." Bakara hummed as she and Momo stepped into the arena.
"Don't hold anything back, Bakara," Momo told her childhood friend.
"I won't."
As soon as the match started, Bakara lunged forward, forming a glyph that manifested a studded morning star hammer.
"MELIO MACIR!"
Momo quickly created a shield to block the strike, being forced to one knee in the process. Quickly, she created a staff and swung it into Bakara's midsection, sending her flying back.
"Good, don't over-analyze the situation! Fight in the moment like your life depended on it!"
Bakara then jumped and ran across the air using glyphs as footholds before getting behind Momo and forming another glyph.
"MARS!"
Momo quickly jumped out of the way as the glyph created a fiery sword that Bakara swung down. The Creation Girl of 1-A quickly created a special sword with a freezing engine built in to lunge and begin clashing with Bakara, the cold and heat colliding together in blasts of thermal energy.
It was a tense battle between them but eventually Bakara gained the upper hand and tripped Momo, pinning her down.
"Yield!"
Momo sighed and held up her hands in defeat, nodding her head as Midnight announced the victory. Despite this, Bakara helped her friend up after dispelling her own sword.
"Those were some excellent sword skills."
"I...had a good teacher."
DEVIL
"Battle #7 has the Seraph of Wrath, Makoto Vegapunk, unleash his fury on the passionate manly fighter made of rock, Eijirou Kirishima!"
"Win this, Eiji!" Mina cheered.
"Can't wait to see how this one goes! Begin!" Midnight called out.
"TRILLION DARK!" Makoto shouted as he sent out multiple orbs of dark energy.
Eijirou quickly hardened himself and ran through the onslaught of attacks, the orbs exploding around him before he leaped and crossed his arms, ramming into Makoto and surprising the Seraph of Wrath, knocking him out of the sky as they crashed to the ground.
"Sorry about this!" Eijirou shouted as he moved to punch Makoto in the face and knock him out with one blow.
"FULL COUNTER!"
Eijirou gasped as he felt the punch redirect onto himself, making him stumble off Makoto. Thank goodness he was in his hardened state or that would have hurt a lot more.
"Nice try, Kirishima! But you'll have to make sure I can't see your attack if you don't want me to throw it back in your face!"
Makoto then dashed forward, forming a sword of darkness as Eijirou quickly hardened himself to block the incoming attack.
"DIVINE 1000 SLICES!"
Hardening as best he could, Eijiro tried to power through the flames, remembering the words of his idol:
"Anyone can be scared, it makes us human. Its moving past that fear that makes a hero!"
And with those words, Eijiro decided to fully embrace 'PLUS ULTRA!'
Letting his quirk go nuts, the Hardeneing boiy started to actually mvoe through teh flames, no worse for wear. This shocked Makoto, who drew his sworcd and swung...
CLUNG!
Only to be shaken when, to his shock, Kirishima's body was now not only harder than ever, but sharp, too! Sharp enouigh to repl Makotyo sword and leaving him open for a punch
"FULL COUNTER!" Makoto called out, hoping to buy some time...but it was for not, as Eijirou called out his finishing move:
"RED RIOT UNBREAKABLE! RED TURENT!"
And with two punches, for the first time a while, Makoto of the Seraphim tasted defeat as he was thrown of of the ring.
"Makoto Vegapunk is out of bounds! Eijirou Kirishima wins!"
"I did NOT see that coming..." Makoto said as he tried to pick himself up off the ground, only to see Eijirou offering his hand to him.
"Thanks, man. I think you just taught me how to accept my Quirk fully."
The Seraph of Wrath smiled as he accepted the hardening boy's hand, making Midnight gush at the chivalry shown.
DEVIL
"Battle #8 is sure to be a nail-biter, folks! In this corner, we have the bombastic blaster with a fiery temper and legs to match, Katsuki Bakugou! And in the other corner, we have the Son of the Beast, Yamato!
Katsuki grinned as he cracked his neck from side to side while Yamato placed his club on the ground by the head, his hand on the tip of the handle.
"Alright, I want a good clean match you two. Try not to kill each other." Midnight advised the two. "BEGIN!"
The two rushed at each other, Katsuki usually began with a large right hook, but he had learned to be less predictable after his training from Zeff. Instead, he moved for a sweeping under-strike, triggering his Quirk immediately.
Despite the smoke cloud being made, Yamato refused to stop and swung his club with all his might. Katsuki saw this coming and swung his leg up, Armament Haki coating it as he clashed with the club, a burst of Conqueror's Haki exploding from the impact.
Everyone in the stadium held on to their seats from the sheer force coming from the two fighters. Katsuki and Yamato put more and more pressure on each other until finally, they were forced to knock each other away, cancelling out both their attacks.
Katsuki grunted as he recovered before leaping and launching another explosion attack but was shocked when he found himself touching ground.
"KAZEGAMI: GALE STORM!"
Katsuki found himself hit by a gust of wind. However, he managed to stop himself from going out of bounds and kicked off the ground, running on the air using Geppo. As he moved faster and faster, his legs began heating up.
"DIABLE JAMBE: PREMIERE HACHIS!"
Yamato was stunned as the blonde unleashed an explosive flurry of kicks with both legs, the heat he built up increasing the power.
"Guess I better pick up the pace!"
Yamato roared as he turned into his Inukami Form, his strength increasing as he swung his club down. Katsuki looked up to see lightning forming in the sky.
"GEKIGAMI: THUNDERBOLT!"
Katsuki leaped out of the way just in time as the thunderbolt struck the ground where he once stood. Grunting, he blasted himself forward with his explosions toward Yamato, fully intent on finishing this battle.
"COLLIER STRIKE!"
Yamato couldn't react in time as Katsuki swung his blazing leg into his neck, sending the Son of Kaido flying out of the arena and crashing out of bounds. Katsuki landed on the ground not too far from him, having exhausted himself in the process.
"You're pretty good..."
Yamato chuckled as he picked himself up. "So are you. You really showed me who's boss..."
DEVIL
"After that action-packed battle, it's time for Battle #9!" Present Mic announced. "In the red corner, she's the swordswoman who can disguise herself as anyone; Himiko Dracule! And her opponent, the girl who defies gravity, Ochako Uraraka!"
"Watch me, guys!" Himiko waved towards her crewmates in the stands with a bright smile on her face as she made her way to the ring.
Ochako looked a bit nervous but as soon as they both got onto the arena, she gained a serious expression on her face.
"Are both competitors ready?" Midnight questioned the two girls. Getting two nods in response, Midnight cracked her whip to begin the match. "Begin!"
Ochako rushed forward with her hand ready to make contact. Himiko grinned as she back-stepped and then pivoted to the left on her heel. Ochako rushed past her and Himiko landed the first blow of the match with a punch to the upper back that sent the other girl stumbling slightly. The yellow-eyed girl moved in to take advantage only to have to abort to avoid a wide swipe of Ochako's palm.
"Can you not try to send me into space, Ochako-Chan?" Toga asked with a giggle while Ochako closed the distance between them.
The two danced around each other, Himiko dodging any contact with Ochako's hands to not let her Quirk take effect on her. Ochako was willing to take a punch or kick here and there to try and get a hold of Himiko and use her Quirk. Their back and forth drew the eyes of experienced Pros who focused on Hand-to-Hand combat. If one was close enough, they could hear the comments of several of these Pro Heroes.
"Isn't that blonde-haired girl the adopted daughter of Dracule 'Hawkeye' Mihawk? Why isn't she using her swords?"
"Most likely they couldn't allow her to use swords for this. I mean, that Bakara girl got a pass because her sword was more magic if anything, and was connected to her Quirk."
"Wait, I see wooden swords strapped to her waist. I guess it was a good idea to go for the safe approach."
Sure enough, Himiko had three bokkens strapped to her hip. Deciding to up the ante, she drew one of the bokken and swung the end into Ochako's stomach, making the brunette grunt in pain. Himiko didn't waste a single second as she drew another bokken and slammed it into Ochako's vulnerable torso.
Trying to take advantage of their positions, Ochako attempted to leap onto Toga, but the other girl rolled out of the way.
"Your Quirk is pretty good, Ochako-Chan! I gotta keep on my toes at all times with you!"
"I'm not done!" Ochako whirled around with both hands out, ready to double-palm strike Himiko.
However, that was when the blonde decided to show just what she could really do. Taking her third bokken in her fanged mouth, she crossed the ones in her hand across her chest and placed the one in her mouth horizontally behind them.
"ONI GIRI!"
Before Ochako could reach her, Himiko had dashed forward at high speeds and struck her with all three bokken, sending her flying out of bounds.
"Ochako Uraraka is out of bounds! Himiko Dracule is the winner!" Midnight made the call.
Himiko immediately ran over to Ochako and helped her sit up. The brunette looked saddened by her loss.
"Come on, Ochako-Chan," Himiko smiled at the other girl as she held out her hand. "Let's head to the waiting room. I'll listen to whatever has you so sad."
"It's nothing," Ochako accepted her hand up and the two walked off the ring together.
"Then I'll listen to nothing," Himiko shrugged as she stuck by Ochako's side.
"You don't have to." Ochako shook her head as they walked down the corridor together.
"I want to, Ochako-Chan," Himiko assured with a gentle smile.
"You're a good friend, Himi-Chan." Ochako sniffled a bit as they entered the waiting room.

"For Battle #10, we have the dark horse from General Ed against the Seraph of Envy! It's Hitoshi Shinso vs Kohaku Vegapunk!"
"So, you ready to do this thing?" She questioned, hip cocked to the side.
"Yeah, let's—" Hitoshi nodded as he looked up at her, and immediately looked away, his face turning pink.
Reason why? Kohaku's jacket was unzipped slightly, pushing her cleavage up and giving her a boob window like with her costume.
The purple-haired boy pointed down at his chest as if trying to tell the giantess about her said issue.
"Aw! Look at this, folks! Shinso's letting Kohaku know that her jacket's down." Present Mic chuckled.
"Oh my, how gentlemanly." Midnight giggled.
"Seriously?" Kohaku deadpanned, a small embarrassed blush craving her cheeks. "I can't help that the track jacket is smaller than I'd like."
With that, the match began in earnest. Hitoshi surprised Kohaku by using Soru and Geppo to move in the air at super speeds. The Seraph of Envy stood her ground before pulling her fist back and punching down.
"DIAMOND SHIELD!"
A barrier made of diamonds with a decorative face on it erupted in front of Kohaku as Hitoshi moved in for a Shigan strike. The boy jumped back to avoid breaking his finger on the impenetrable substance before kicking off the air and landing on his feet.
"That's a pretty impressive Quirk you got there! I'm really damn jealous!"
"Thanks, I've trained my whole-"
Kohaku suddenly went rigid, her eyes a blank white as Hitoshi sighed, having caught her in his trap.
"Needed to get you to drop your guard for my Quirk. An old friend of my parents trained me in Rokushiki. He always told me that I shouldn't just rely on my Quirk unless absolutely necessary."
"Holy cow, how did Shinso do that?!" Rikidou asked.
"I think I heard someone say his Quirk is [Brainwashing]. With it, he can mind control anybody who verbally responds to him." Izuku noted.
"Seriously?! That AND Rokushiki and he was stuck in General Ed?!" Mina gawked.
"Alright, sorry about this, Kohaku. Fall asleep." Hitoshi said.
With that, Kohaku was out like a light, her face plastering on her Diamond Shield as she drooped down slowly, her butt sticking in the air as she began snoring loudly and cutely.
"Kohaku Vegapunk is asleep! The winner is Hitoshi Shinso!"
Many of the Pro Heroes were noting how useful Hitoshi's Quirk was. The rest of the students in General Ed were cheering him on from the stands and Vlad King nodded his head, a decision already being made for after the Sports Festival was over.

"Alright, it's Battle #11 and we've got the Seraph of Pride, Kazuya Vegapunk!" Present Mic announced. "And his opponent, the copycat with a nasty ego, Monoma Neito!"
Kazuya scoffed as Monoma took the field, waving to the crowd like a rockstar. For a guy who constantly admonished Class 1-A for their (accidental) fame, he seemed pretty desperate for it himself.
"Good...that means he has all the more to lose." The Seraph of Pride smirked, his body currently in its normal form.
"So then... I finally have the chance to prove Class 1-B's superiority" Monoma announced smugly. "I hardly see how I could lose to one of that green-haired cheater's flunkies."
Kazuya shook his head. "You put on a pretty smile for the cameras but you really are hideous on the inside, aren't you? It makes sense, considering how you accused my Captain of cheating when he had made a legitimate strategy, even if it was overwhelming for the opposition."
Monoma scowled. "Oh please, that's just something one of his pawns who kisses the ground he walks on would say."
"I honestly want to know why you hate everyone that isn't in your class." Kazuya calmly said. "I wish to see things from your perspective but sadly, I do not have the power to bend over and put my head up my own backside."
Monoma was getting angry now. How dare this skinny fool look down on him like that!
"I do believe I have a theory on why you're so...pitiful," Kazuya said, a dark smirk growing on his face. "You didn't get enough attention from Daddy, did you?"
"Shut up..." Monoma growled.
Kazuya snorted. "You really are an open book... your dad wasn't a good one was he? I bet he was never there and when he was, he was drunk."
Monoma's entire body was shaking with anger now.
"Your father's such a deadbeat he makes alcoholic stepfathers look like working-class heroes. He's probably the patron saint of single-mother households. Hell, he probably thinks that dine and dash is a parenting technique." Kazuya continued, his grin growing with every insult.
"SHUT IT!" Monoma screeched, fists clenched at his sides.
"Who taught him how to handle responsibility? Peter Pan?" Kazuya called back. "He makes God sacrificing his only son look like time out."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Monoma yelled, his face now bright red.
"HE PROBABLY THINKS BEING AN INVOLVED PARENT MEANS TAKING YOUR KIDS WITH YOU TO THE BAR!" Kazuya shouted back, heat beginning to rise off his body as his grin became downright vicious.
"AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" Monoma roared in fury as he started to sprint forward.
"HOW MANY TIMES DID HE SAY HE WAS GOING TO PICK YOU UP AND NEVER CAME?!"
"SHUT THE FUC-"
Suddenly, Monoma was hit with an oppressive wave of heat as Kazuya slowly but surely grew into his Sun Form, a brilliant fiery mustache forming on his face and his white hair gaining glowing tips like the surface of the sun. All of Monoma's anger disappeared and was replaced with pure, suffocating dread.
Kazuya started walking towards Monoma, keeping the heat to unbearable levels as he moved closer. Monoma didn't have any choice but to move away from the blistering heat. Step by step, Kazuya forced his opponent backward and towards a ring out. Monoma tried to stand his ground against the heat, his skin was turning red when he got too close to the heat wave.
"You, born into wealth and wanting for little. He dared try to sully my captain's dream."
"WHY IS HE LEADING YOU?! YOU'RE FAR STRONGER THAN HIM!" Monoma screamed, his mind genuinely trying to comprehend how that green haired upstart had so many powerful people in his corner.
"Because he is my friend." Kazuya said, as if it was the clearest thing in the world. "My dearest friend. And no, while I do stand above most, I still pale in to Izuku in terms of kindness; a kindness that found meaning in mine and my sibling's existence as people, a kindness that only sought to help when he could rule. A kindness that this world needs…and that you, in your delusions of suffering, even if they have some small merit of truth, tried to destroy. For that cruelty and your arrogance, which unlike mind is so sorely unfounded?...I will SCORCH this spot…DIVINE SPEAR!"
Thrusting his finger forward, Kazuya created a massive burst of heated air that sent Monoma rocketing out of bounds and crashing into the stadium wall. The blonde's eyes were rolled into the back of his head as blood escaped his mouth before crumpling to the ground in a crushed heap.
"You fail at being a hero, Monoma. You have shamed your entire family line with your ego."
Not completely without mercy, Kazuya shrunk down to his normal self and then hoisted Monoma over his shoulder before carrying him off to the infirmary as Midnight called the match, everyone still left in awe at the sheer power the Seraph of Pride had displayed.

"Battle #12 is sure to be a fun one! It's the Seraph of Greed Yaato Vegapunk against the latest great speedster of the Iida Family, Tenya Iida!"
"Sorry In advance, Iida, but you're toast!" Yaato grinned as he bounced up and down.
"We shall see about that!" Tenya said. "RECIPRO BURST!"
As Tenya blasted straight toward Yaato, intent on pushing him out of bounds. However, the Seraph of Greed smirked as he simply held out his hand and made a beckoning motion with it.
"SNATCH."
Tenya gasped as he felt most of his speed leave his body and saw Yaato moving at the same speed he was initially going at. Before he could even react, Yaato had driven his knee into his stomach, making him keel over before delivering a Judo Throw that slammed him into the ground before putting him in a chokehold.
"You've got no chance, pal! Right now, I'm sucking out your strength as well and adding it to my own!"
Tenya choked as he struggled but ultimately was unable to escape as he tapped his hand against the ground, yielding the match to Yaato's favor.
"Tenya Iida has yielded! Yaato Vegapunk is the victor!"
Tenya let out a defeated sigh before being helped up by Yaato, the bespectacled boy could only kick himself for letting Yaato beat him so easily.
"Hey, don't beat yourself up over it. You'll get fast enough to catch me off-guard." The Seraph of Greed smirked. "Friendly bit of advice; try adding Soru to your repertoire. It's handy."
Tenya silently nodded, accepting Yaato's advice as he headed to the waiting room to get some water before returning to the stands.

"Man, so many fun matches!" Uta smiled. "Shame me and Carrot didn't get picked."
"Well, maybe later, we could ask for a spar?" Izuku suggested with a friendly smile. "After all, I'd love to know more about what you can do!"
"Awww, you're so sweet!"
"Alright, this is sure to be an epic one, folks!" Present Mic grinned. "Battle #13 is between the Quirk Blacksmith, Benio Torekuroshi, and the Son of Endeavor, Shoto Todoroki!"
Shoto began to head to the halls to get ready for the match again Ben when he noticed Endeavor was waiting for him.
"What the hell do you want?"
"You saw how much power Midoriya was able to put out throughout the tournament. I can safely say that his comrades hold similar strength if they can stand alongside him." The Flame Hero said sternly. "If you truly hope to overcome him, you can't hold yourself back."
"I made myself a goddamn promise, you bastard. No matter what you say, I will never give you the satisfaction of being what you want me to be.." Shoto scowled.
As Shoto left, Endeavor gave his son a glare before letting out a defeated sigh as he walked back to the VIP stands. The Flame Hero had a very bad feeling about how this match was going to go.
Ben had already arrived at the arena, his face one of stone-cold stoicism. He saw Shoto step onto the arena, a pissed-off expression on his face as he noticed the look in Ben's eyes.
"You look like you have something to say."
"Just that you shouldn't act like a dumbass and restrict yourself to just your ice. If you don't give it your all, you're just wasting everybody's time."
This only made Shoto angrier. "I already told you I never use my bastard of a father's fire! Just my mother's ice!"
"You're pathetic." Ben coldly spat.
"BEGIN!"
Knightmare Lord A/N:
And here we end on a cliffhanger! Oh, I'm gonna enjoy the battle between Ben and Shoto more than I really should! If you've seen the battle between Omni-Man and Homelander on Death Battle, you might get an idea on what I'm going for...just without the death and bloodshed. Though there will be some broken bones by the end of this.
Anything you'd like to say, Mrotrax?
Mrotrax A/N:
We'll have to be careful to avoid a repeat of how readers felt about our Izuku vs Shoto fight in Class Sancutary, but yes, I am looking very forward to it!
And another bit of Monoma humiliation always does good!
