It's time for the fight of the UA High Sports Festival. Last time Izuku managed to hold his own against Shoto Todoroki, his blade and energy blast being perfect counter for Shoto's ice and forcing him to his limits and beyond. Thanks for your support about the last chapter, it was one of those I didn't feel like I wasn't portraying things properly. It was technically the first time Izuku and Shoto have crossed paths, so I tried to make not so "friend trying to save a friend from themselves", but more like Izuku tries his hardest everyday to try and become a hero and is mad to see Shoto blessed with a powerful heroic quirk not even try. (Izuku was channeling his best Bakugo for that fight).
Now it's time to round the quarter finals.
But first, small confession, CCSakurforever: I nearly failed Spanish one and two in high school and dropped Spanish three after three weeks. So while I can understand bit of your comments, mainly, "Esta muy beuno el capitulo." Beyond that , due to my inability to understand Spanish, I've been relying on google translate and a friend of mine who understand Spanish much better. I don't know what you'll do with this knowledge. Continue commenting and posting, love you feedback, but thought I needed to share this confession

Now, always I do not own MY HERO ACADAMIA or Marvel or their characters.
With that, let's begin.
"If Shinsou and Yaoyorozu could make their way to the arena." Present Mic announced.
Momo had spent the waiting period working over what she knew about Shinsou's quirk. It seems to require a verbal response to a question. Something easily avoidable, but it appeared Shinous was good at reading people and figuring out what annoyed them. And while Momo didn't have many insecurities, she still figured it was best to go with earmuffs from the beginning. If Shinsou still wanted to fight after that, a simple air cannon beanbag to the chest should get him to surrender. A situation that made many boys run away when she threatened to do so.
"He's a mind controlling brainiac, Hitoshi Shionsu from 1-C against the maker of dreams Momo Yaoyorozu from 1-A." Present Mic said.
Momo steeled her mind as walked out of the tunnel and stared down Shinsou. Something hard to do as Shinsou was surprisingly taller than Momo. (Look it up). She was confident she had a basis for how Shinsou's quirk worked. It was hard to notice it in real-time as a lot happened in the moment before Shinsou seemingly gained control over his opponent. It had taken rewatching the highlights that internet sleuths had recorded and were already posting online as highlights.
"Any word before we begin?" Midnight asked as she looked between the two students.
"It was sad to see how your classmates reacted to losing." Shinsous said, hoping to finish this fight before it began.
Momo's mind quickly picked up that it wasn't a question, just an off-handed comment. He was trying to mess with her, to see how much she knew about his quirk. With that mind, she said, "Yes it was. Though I suspect our teacher will give her extra training because of it."
Shinsou silently clicked his tongue, he had tried to make it sound like a question, but the inflexion played a big part in his quirk. It had to sound like a question or else his quirk couldn't take hold. It seemed Momo had caught on to it, meaning Shinsou would have to resort to his usual means of getting a response. Insults, it was obvious with how much Shinsou saw Momo eat after her fight with Kirishima, what her quirk's fuel was, "With your quirk, it must take a lot of work to keep your body…" Shinsou stopped as he watched earmuffs appear on Momo's head, "Well shit." There goes his plan, if he couldn't get Momo to respond, then he couldn't use his quirk.
"I figured out your quirk requires verbally response." Momo said, a little louder than normal.
Shinosu sighed, then held up his hands and signed, "So what's your next move?" As a kid, Shinsou worked to understand his quirk. He began learning different languages and he was currently fluent in Japanese, English and Chinese. Along the way, Shinsou took the time to learn sign language, and though it never worked with his quirk, still a useful skill to have.
As Shinsou finished signing, Momo cocked her head a little confused. Shinosu said that she must have been figuring out what Shinsou was doing. She was watching Shinsou's hand, perhaps he had signed too quickly.
"You really don't know sign language." Shinsou signed a little slower. He was a little surprised, Momo was a smart girl so he figured it was a skill she picked up. Momo walked Shinosu's hands and her eyes lit up.
"No, I do, I just haven't used it for a while. Could you repeat your first statement, a bit slower this time?" Shinsou repeated his question, "Oh this." Momo said casually as if she wasn't about to create a large cannon. The next second a large cannon appeared next to her. Shinsou's jaw dropped in shock at the display, how was he supposed to go against that? He figured it wasn't filled with anything lethal, but he didn't want to find out.
"I surrender." Shisnou said, then held his hand up. He had gotten far, further than he initially thought, or believed was possible. He had put up a good show, but he didn't feel the need to get hurt to go any further. Momo looked him over, and he was fully surrendering. No tricks or anything of the sort.
"Shinsou has surrendered. Yaoyorozu wins." Midnight said in a bit of a lackluster tone, especially as she compared the fight to the previous ones. That would most certainly go down as the calmest match to ever happen at UA during their sports festival.
Momo pulled her earmuff off, "Thanks goodness, I think I made them a little small. They were starting to squeeze my head."
Shinsou turned around and waved his arm in the air "Yeah tell your friend, I'm sorry for all that I said. Heat of the battle and wanting to win. Use whatever excuse you think will work." Shinsou walked down the steps and to his tunnel. He was sure tomorrow his classmates were going to be all over him, even now they were probably waiting for him to return to celebrate. Not wanting to deal with that, Shinsou found an empty room and fell asleep in the corner.
"We now have our semi-finals. For the first fight it will be Gizon Hisahito versus Ochaco Uraraka. For the second fight it will be Izuku Midoriya vs Momo Yaoyorozu. The first match will start in half an hour." Present Mic announced.
"Great. My next fight is against the overpowered support student. Wonder what surprises he'll have for me." Momo looked at the cannon by her side, she had forgotten to put the wheels on again, "Hey, Midnight can I get some help with this cannon?"
Midnight looked at the cannon and, with an amused tone spoke into her microphone. "Will All Might report to the arena. We have a cannon that needs to be removed."
As the half-hour break slowly tickled by Ochaco began to be over-checked by Recovery Girl. Towards the end of the back, Ochaco was starting to get jumpy to the point where she said, "My fight starts in 5 minutes. If I don't make it I lose." She was looking forward to this fight. Finally, after a month since the USJ, it was time to see who the better fighter was. Her or Gizon Hisahito. And there was the bet they had made.
"Youth these days, have no patience." Recovery Girl said. She finished the check-up on Ochaco. Unfortunately, her injuries were healed, leaving no medical reason to bar her from the fight. And being one of the few in on the secret of One For All, Recovery Girl had a sense of why Ochaco wanted to get to the fight, "Okay you're good to go."
Ochaco nodded and took off. She ran through the hallway until she got to the tunnel exit. She put her hand against the wall to catch her breath. As she did she looked out at the arena, this was where she would prove herself. This was the moment she had been training for the last year and a half. She was going to give everything she had against Gizon. Bakugo was a warm-up for this and she wasn't going to let herself fail after coming this far.
The other students might be fighting to demonstrate their power and skill, but Ochaco was fighting to prove herself. Prove herself worthy of All Might's power. When she got trapped under the debris during the entrance exam, she thought she failed. She still needed to thank Izuku for saving her but missed her chance as she only recognized him after Gizon announced he was the other student to defeat the zero-pointers.
Then came the USJ, only to learn Shigaraki and All For One was after All Might because of One for All. A quirk that was her responsibility to hold alone. She had held her ground and fought against Nomu. But when she was beaten, she stayed behind, licking her wounds, while Gizon powered on through. Even after he had fought the metal villain nicknamed Iron Monger and had his bones broken by Nomu, he continued fighting. Even helping All Might to win the fight.
Afterwards, Ochaco had thought she wasn't worthy of One for All, that All Might was wrong about her and that she should pass it upon Gizon. He was already a hero and had proven it time and time again. Fighting Iron Monger and Nomu, then willing to share his dark past and then help Ochaco learn how to control One for All.
And all the while, while helping her, Gizon never once said she was unworthy of it, just unprepared. She was happy for his optimism, but that dark cloud kept its place above her head.
Ochaco knew this fight was the most important to her life and career of a pro hero. If she lost, then she would never stop doubting herself. She was already thinking about handing One for All over to Gizon, and if she lost then she would only want to do that more. He already had control over his broken and overpowered quirk, if it combined with One for All, he could become unstoppable. Perhaps strong enough to defeat All for One.
Ochaco looked at the arena, she decided right then and there if she lost then she wouldn't be worthy of One for All. She wouldn't be worthy of its power and be unable to handle the responsibilities that came with it.
On the other side of the arena stood Gizon. He had his back up against the wall and leaning against it as he looked out at the arena, he understood the importance of the match. Personally it wasn't much to him, it wasn't another chance to make up for his father's mistakes, it was only to get his name of Gizon Hisahito more known. Yet he knew to his opponent this match was going to mean everything.
Ochaco never talked about it, but Gizon could see she was beginning to doubt herself. Her worth of One for All and its responsibilities. That was why Gizon was going to go all out and use all of his quirks to fight. It would show Ochaco how strong she was, being about to hold her ground against three quirks. And that she was worthy of One for All. And on the off chance she won, he could push her even further. Because no matter how strong Gizon was with his three quirks, All for One had been stocking quirk for centuries.
If he won, then he would help Ochaco to see how much she's grown, so that she could become the next symbol of Peace. Either way, this fight meant little to Gizon, but he understood he wasn't the only one fighting. This fight was just another lesson.
Present Mic then started with the introduction, "She is a master astronaut and flies among the skies. It's Ochaco Uraraka, and I wonder if she will gain her freakish strength against her opponent. He's a golden goose and his quirk is comparable to All Might and can hit like a truck. It's Gizon Hisahito."
Gizon took a step forward, rolled his shoulders and twisted his neck to make it pop. He wasn't one for a dramatic flair, but the one thing he understood was he was the favorite to win. He had checked out several online forms that had polls for people to vote for who they thought would win. Bakugo was a close second, which was because most people thought his quirk was cool, while those in favor of Gizon pointed out his fighting prowess and skill. Tied with his quirk to hit back harder he was the favorite to win the tournament.
So Gizon gave a small show as he walked up the stairs, it was time to go to work.
Gizon met Ochaco's eyes. They were filled with doubt, not a good sign. But Gizon could see the fiery passion hidden within, something that Ochaco didn't hide as well as she thought she had. Yet Gizon held up, but now it was time to fan those flames and see what Ochaco was capable of.
"Any words before we begin." Midnight said, catching the look in both of their eyes.
"I'm going all out for this. I hope you do me the same honor." Gizon said, getting into his natural-ready position. He took a deep breath and began bouncing back and forth on the balls of his feet as his senses sharpened to a deadly point. More than any fight before, Ochaco would have to earn her victory.
Ochaco looked down at her feet for a second then back up at Gizon. He could see the flip switch. A small spark had jumped down into Ochaco's soul and was starting to bring it to fire, "Always."
"Begin."
Gizon didn't hesitate to rush forward and was glad to see Ochaco was doing the same. Both of their footsteps quickened as they rushed toward each other. As they got near, Gizon opened with a mid-riff kick, which Ochaco easily blocked and countered with a heavy jab to Gizon's chest. Gizon managed to redirect the punch and step back, out of range of Ochaco's kick follow-up, which would have connected with his jaw.
As Ochaco brought her foot back in, Gizon got in close. Ochaco saw the combo coming. Right hook, Ochaco caught it then rammed her elbow to Gizon's nose. Gizon's vision flashed black as Ochaco's blow landed. Forcing the pain back to his head and letting his regeneration quirk work on the broken bone, Gizon looked back and saw that Ochaco was now sporting a grin of her own.
"Finally I got one of those. Did you really think that combo would work on me, after you use it thousands of times." Ochaco said out of surprise, while holding back the celebration as that was the first time she had managed to break that combo of his and get a proper hit in as well. Even during their training sessions, she only ever managed to graze him.
"And the only one you're getting. And it ain't the only combo I've got," Gizon said. He quickly grappled Ochaco's arm and held it tight. He pulled her forwards and planted his elbow on her nose to return the favor. As Ochaco stumbled back, Gizon kicked her side, planting his foot in line with her kidneys. This made her stumble backed, then began to fall forwards from the pain.
Ochaco began to double over, holding down the content of her lunch, yet Gizon caught her with a sucker punch to her gut. Then as Ochaco stumbled back Gizon then slowly worked his way up Ochaco's midsection, then wound up a punch and did an uppercut that snapped Ochaco's head back. Ochaco yelled as her body screamed in pain, but she held her ground. One for All flowed throughout her body as she took a step forward and unleashed a punch. Gizon easily dodged the punch, so Ochaco stepped forward and threw another punch.
Gizon effortlessly dodged the attacks, as if he was reading Ochaco's mind. A right hook, a left jab, followed by a right jab and then a left cross. While Ochaco kept her form, Gizon could tell it wasn't a meaningful combo. Ochaco was throwing whatever punch came to mind without any plan on how to land one. So when Ochaco threw a right jab at his face, Gizon stopped it by grabbing her wrist.
Gizon could see the panic in Ochaco's eyes as his grip became a vice, forcing her to keep her arm out. Then using Ochaoc's extended arm as a pivot, Gizon jumped up and wrapped his ankle around her neck. Unable to support Gizon's weight and the sudden cut off of oxygen, Ochaco fell forward and hit the ground.
"Is that the best you can do?" Gizon taunted as Ochaco glared at him and began to hit his side, but all that did was fill up his quirk.
Ochaco's response was a yell that was cut off as Gizon tightened his hold around her neck. She began to panic as her brain was not receiving the oxygen it needed. She tried to pull her hand out of Gizon's grip, even using One for All, but Gizon responded in kind by using his quirk to increase his strength. It was as if Gizon was absorbing One for All as it coursed through Ochaco's body and was using it as fuel for his quirk.
Ochaco saw the edges of her vision starting to close in. She had worked so hard to be here, all Might saw her worthy enough to be given his strength. She had been training every day under Gizon's regiment. While not ruthless, it was much harder than All Might's strength-building before UA, and Gizon didn't let her slack off. And if there was ever a point to use it, it was now.
Ochaco yelled as she pushed One for All up to 10% percent. Gizon was about to remark how she would need more to break free, but Ochaco wasn't trying to break free. With a yell, she got her feet under her and began to stand up. Ochaco then began to lift her arm and bring Gizon up, making him look like a sloth hanging from a branch.
Slight worry and surprise shot across Gizon's face as he locked eyes with Ochaco and could feel One for All raging within Ochaco's body. Her fiery spirit was fueling One for All, her desire to prove herself worthy. Then something unexpected happened, One for All flared up again up to 15%. Ochaco then took a step forward and brought her belocked arm down to the ground. Gizon knew he was in trouble, so he released Ochaco to get away.
Gizon flipped backwards and planted his hands against the ground, he then handsprung away until he had some distance and stopped on a dime. He looked over at Ohaco and found her pulling her fist out of the ground. Gizon was glad he hadn't underestimated how big of a leap 10 to 15 percent would have been. Ochaco brushed her arm off and Gizon felt his quirk. He was up to 30% and that was enough to start a harder counterattack.
"Seems you're broken your limit, let's see how it holds now." Gizon said as he redirected his quirk's energy to his legs and with a push launched himself at Ochaco.
Ochaco reacted by rushing forward and drawing back her right fist. Using One for All at 15 was making her body stiff, but through pure stubbornness, she was making her body move. She met Gizon in the middle and he jumped up to a flying kick that she met with a right jab. Their attacks met and Ochaco saw Gizon's eyes flash yellow, as his foot absorbed the impact.
Yet enough impact broke through and sent a gale-force wind throughout the stadium, as One for All clashed against Energy Absorption. With the rush of the wind, it told the audience just how powerful these first years were, and Present Mic was correct to compare them to All Might.
Gizon felt Ochaco's arm start to move back, but then a pink pulse began emitting from Ochaco and her hair gain a pink hue. Which caught Gizon off guard, as such a physical change had never appeared in the beginning. But now that Gizon had thought about it, he could recalled something similar happening while they fought against Nomu during the USJ. It wasn't like Gizon's biblical glow that insinuate his quirk was at max capability or it becoming golden showing he was using Force Multiple. In the moment Gizon had to guess it meant the flow of One for All was becoming smoother within Ochaco's body.
Something that would need to be tested later, as with the pink pulse and hair color Ochaco's strength shot up. Meaning she wasn't just holding her ground but was beinging to force Gizon back. Dropping back form his attack, Gizon hit the ground but quickly used his momentum to roll and pop back up on his feet as if he was pulled up by a set of strings.
Getting into the flow of the battle, Gizon rushed forward again. When he reached Ocahco, he did a feint left cross, then followed with a spartan kick to Ochaco's gut. Ochaco caught Gizon's foot and took advantage of his off-balance. Ochaoc pushed Gizon's foot back and he had to hop to stay up, but it seemed his balance was over the tipping point. He began to fall backwards, but Ochaco got in close, and the next second she fist met his knee.
Gizon hit the ground and the sound of bone snapping rose from the arena, but couldn't be heard over the cheering of the crowd. Gizon had tried to absorb the attack, but with how full his quirk was and how much of One for All, Ochaco was using. Gizon locked the yell of pain in his throat, only grimacing a bit as the pain came up from his leg. From the ground he looked up as Ochaco stood tall, her eyes were full of fire. With his broken leg, he should have surrendered, but won't be giving it his all. He focused his healing quirk on his legs and he felt his leg snap back into place, and just in time as Ochaco attacked.
He rolled back as Ochaco came in with a heavy stomp. Gizon landed on his hands and knees. "Good, I had thought you were toying with me," Ochaco said as she knew what Gizon was doing. He was trading blows, building up his strength while whittling her defenses down. The snapping of his leg bone and him dodging told Ochaco that Gizon was now at full strength and with the pain on his face, he had to use some of his quirk's energy to heal up, meaning he didn't have any more room to store energy.
Meaning now his only option was to fight back.
"I know not to toy with you." Gizon said, grinding his teeth as his leg finished healing. Gizon tested his leg and found it to be good, so he quickly jumped back up and got ready, "If I did, you would try to hurt me more."
"Are you at full strength yet?" Ochaco called out. This shocked the crowd. Their attacks had been sending a wave of air at the audience. How much more powerful could they get? If this was just them toying with each other, what would matter if they got serious? Could they bring the whole stadium down?
"Yeah," Gizon said, then they both rushed forward. Ochaco did a heavy right hook and Gizon got in close and used his left arm to block. He quickly countered with a right hook of his own. It hit Ochako in the chin and her head whipped back. She quickly whipped her head back, her irises beginning to glow a pink hue similar to the rest of her body.
It seemed Gizon was correct in thinking that Ochaco's gaining this pink hue was her connection to One for All becoming stronger. With that note in mind Gizon quickly brought his focus back into the fight and raised his arm to block Ochaco's incoming punch.
Which was a mistake as he was unable to absorb all of the attack and was sent flying back. Gizon managed to flip himself around and dig his fingers into the ground to stop. As he slowly came to a stop, his hands dug small trenches in the ground and when Gizon pulled his hand out, he saw his finger rapidly healing, reforming skin and some muscle.
Gizon looked at Ochaco, she was still doubting herself and wasn't confident in her attacks, otherwise he would have gone flying out of the arena. She truly, desperately wanted to be good but she didn't think she could. Gizon sighed, he would make her see herself as worthy because, in all his life, he hadn't meant anyone more good-hearted and worthy to be at the top.
With his hand healed, Gizon launched himself at Ochako and he got in close, he went for a high kick. Which was quickly followed by a left cross, then a right hook. Two quick jabs, followed by an uppercut then a leg sweep. Ochaco expertly blocked each attack, and after the leg sweep, she threw a wide right punch. Gizon blocked it and then pushed Ochaco in.
"Come on, fight me with everything you've got," Gizon said, then leaned forwards and whispered something he knew would get Ochaco even more fired up, "Show me the next Symbol of Peace." Knowing it was his funeral, he quickly pushed Ochaco take while taking a few steps back himself. He then bounced a bit on the balls of his feet to show he was ready for everything she had. He won't say he just completed a warm-up, but his mind was starting to itch for the fight, making him want to see how good of a fight he could get.
"You asked for it." Ochaco yelled and with some concentration, forced the elevator within the hotel to up higher. It shut past the different floors, lights flickering within the elevator as it rose. Then it arrived at floor 100 and with a echoed ding, the doors opened and Ochaco felt One for All flood throughout her entire body, powering it up to 100 percent. The pink pulse around Ochaco's body almost began to shoot like lightning as she pressed her feet down against the floor, the cement cracking from the pressure. Her hair became completely pink and her eyes were a bright pink while she looked up at Gizon. Then as if his quirks were responding to One for All, Gizon felt his eyes beginning to glow as he looked back at her. He was wearing the same dumb stupid smirk he wore during training, now looking forward to a good fight.
Ochaco launched her at Gizon, leaving a large crater behind. Even blowing a sizable chunk out of the floor and sending it hurling against the arena wall.
Gizon smirked as he watched Ochaco come flying towards him, "Hello next Symbol of Peace." Gizon's voice was quiet, not even Midnight heard him. Gizon easily dodged Ochaco's telegraphed right hook, which sent air pressure flying and hit the stadium wall, cracking it. Gizon had to direct all of his attention to dodging Ochaco's wild attacks as they were much faster than before and the peer he was feeling from One for All, he knew his won't be able to absorb all of that kinetic energy. Then Ochaco left herself open and Gizon capitalized by kicking Ochaco in the gut. She flew back and landed on her feet, with a yell her pink aura grew wild.
Ochaco launched herself at Gizon, who flexed his entire body, his eyes turned golden and his body began to glow a bright yellow, making it seem an aura had formed around his body, making him look like a biblical angel. He launched himself forward, leaving a similar crater as Ochaco's.
They met in the middle of the arena, both planting their feet and throwing a right punch. Their fists collided, shaking the entire stadium. Both were thrown back but quickly landed on their feet and looked at each other. Ochaco's right arm and legs were starting to turn purple. Blood was slowly leaking out of Gizon's mouth and his knuckles were cut open, yet he was so focused on the fight that he didn't care about healing himself.
Ochaco launched herself forward, her right fist level with Gizon's head. Gizon deflected the punch and countered with a kick to Ochaco's leg. Ochaco jumped over Gizon's attack and jumped off against his chest. They both fell to the floor and recovered at the same time, Ochaco jumping up, while Gizon pressed his hand against the ground and kicked his legs into the air, the rest of his body following them.
"I've got one more, how about you?" Gizon smirked as he landed on his feet. He could feel his quirk starting to strain against holding so much energy, then using it, only to quickly regain it again. It was as if he was going from a resting heart rate to trying to run max speed over and over again.
"Same," Ochaco said. She stepped forward, ignoring the pain in her legs. Using One for All at 100 percent was starting to take its payment in blood, yet Ochaco fought through the pain and raised her right fist back. Gizon then did the same, his biblical aura started to flicker a bit, the glow almost becoming infused within his veins. With a yell, they both took a step forward.
They both swung at the same time and hit at the same time. Ochaco's fist hit Gizon's cheek, it felt like she was punching a metal wall. Ochaco figured he must be at his limit, she had never seen him so serious like this before and his body was glowing as it did against Nomu. Ochaco then realized something, during the USJ Gizon's glow had a more golden look to it. Here and now it was only yellow, which meant he could go even further. Well, so could she. 'One for All, Beyond Limit.' Within Ochaoc's mind, the elevator shut out of the hotel, beyond the roof and into the sky, soon reaching the clouds.
Gizon knew his skin must have felt like metal, that happens whenever he imbues his entire body with his quirk's energy. Yet in all honesty it had never felt this powerful before, it felt as if his body was no longer mortal. He guessed it felt the same for Ochaco as One for All had to be putting her in a similar state. He could see the determination in her eyes, and at the beginning, he stated he was going to go all out for this fight and he meant it.
It happened in a split second, Gizon withdrew all of his energy from his body and passed it through Force Multiplier. He then redirected the energy through Energy Absorption and then back into his muscles. The yellow glow around him flickered, but then returned with a golden hue. Yet among the golden glow a the black scar over Gizon's chest cut through the light. The sharp edge of Gizon's scar slowly pulled out, expanding over Gizon's left pec from the size of a close first to a outstretch hand. Yet Gizon paid the searing panic no mind, 'Force Multiplier X15.' Gizon looked at Ochaco, this was the kind of strength she would need against All For One.
Gizon and Ochaco both felt their arms snap at the same time. The sound was muffled by the explosion of air, as the force of the attacks made the air collide with itself. Following the explosion, dust tore through the stadium, covering the arena from sight.
No one in the crowd could see the result of the final clash, yet they were all on the edge of their seats. Having not seen any of that power except from All Might. Which one of the powerhouses had won, was someone knocked out, forced out of bounds, no one could tell. No one dared to speak or take a breath as the cloud slowly settled. No yellow glow or pink aura to reveal who was still standing.
It seemed forever until the smoke disappeared, but eventually, a lone figure stood in the middle of a broken arena. The person was in pain, their body had cuts all over the body with blood coming out, and the rest of their body was covered in bruises. Their eyes glazed over and it seemed they were on a different plane of existence. As dust fully settled, they slowly brought their right hand up and held it up to the sky, to show they had no limit.
"And the person moving on to the Finals is…." Midnight said, peering behind the cover Cementoss had created for himself and Midnight. Yet with the dust cloud, it made it hard to see who was holding up their fist. All she could tell was that it was broken, purple and bleeding.
Duh-duh, who could it be. Did (A) the author decide to go more with cannon belief that One for All is too overpowered to be beaten, (B) do what other author do and make their OC win because duh its their OC and have no good reason for them winning, or (C) Something else.
Comment your thoughts.
Beyond that I wanted to show Ochaco and Gizon's perspective on their fights together. Ochaco trying to prove herself worth of the power One for all. ("Whoever wields this quirk, if he be worth shall possess the power of all those before him". Sorry, I just watched Thor and the way Anthoy Hopkins says that line is cool to me). She see all that Gizon is doing this his quirk(s) and thinks she that she shoul be and needs to be on that same level if not surpassing it. While Gizon doesn't get into the fight until later, oh did you notice. I stated it, Gizon suddenly getting the want for a good fight, wonder if that has big plots behind that. But right now Gizon isn't much of a show-off, he's just trying to get his new name known while burying the past.
Next time: from the explosive fight between Gizon and Ochaco, its time for Izuku to face off against Momo Yaoyorozu. Two geniuses, time to see whose smarter.
Next Chapter: Out Of Options.
Review and tell me what you think.
