CHAPTER 8: A Battle

Iida managed to successfully throw Momo out of bounds. Causing him a victory, next it was Mina and Aoyama.

Aoyama got a stomach ache in between the round, causing Mina a victory.

Next, it was Kirishima and Ojiro. It was a tough battle, but Kiri won.

Next was you and Sero.

The battle started off quiet, but you were able to sense Sero's upcoming attack. He tried to wrap you in his capturing tape, by also distracting you with some insane moves. However, he underestimated your power. You use wind in order to blow him away, it took him at least 5 seconds to land back on his feet without wobbling everywhere. You then use fire and blast a heating force towards him. Causing him to step out, ALMOST out of bounds.

Sero: "I will win this Y/n!" He sends out a determined smile and tried to use offense again. You, fortunately, battled with wind again, blowing him away. He landed a inch behind the bounds, leaving you a victory.

Sero: "Awhhh man! That wind is so strong!"

You pat his back and head back with the classmates. It was now Bakugo and Mineta. You obviously knew who was going to win, and that was Bakugo. His determined thrive to win overcame him and he managed to earn a victory.

A lot more battles came, you won all of them.. which left you don't to the last of the matches. Four more students were still in the game.

Bakugo
You
Todoroki
and Tokoyami

Tokoyami and Bakugo had to fight, Bakugo managed to win the battle. However, you were up against Todoroki.. which was honestly the hardest challenge you had to go through.

You both stepped into the arena, you look at him. His white and red hair, his burnt mark around his eye. You sigh and get ready for the battle.

He immediately starts off with the insane ice wall. You melt it by using your fire power. He had an advantage since it took 5 seconds for you to recharge, you managed to dodge all his attacks. Todoroki blasts an ice shard towards you, you couldn't dodge it because it was way too fast. You got hit, sending you backwards. Luckily, you were still pretty far from the line, so you got back up.

This time, you began to attack. He barely moved from his spot, he starts using his ice power more often, using it to attack you. You dodged it and charged at him. You use earth and picked up the rocks which were located outside the arena. It headed straight for him, but he dodged it with an ice wall. One powerful rock was able to blast through it, hitting him in the chest.

You gained more confidence and began to attack. You managed to hit him a couple of times, but his ice was way too much. He hits you very close to the line, you almost were out of bounds, but you got up. He was so powerful, you started to LOSE confidence.

Todoroki began to slowly walk to you. You were actually scared, but you managed to get on you feet and fight back. Todoroki throws you around like a toy, but it wasn't on purpose. You didn't give up and began to fight.

Bakugo: "Y/n!!! Don't give up!! You got this!!"

You hear his voice and your body shifted.

Mr. Aizawa: "Shut up Bakugo, they are fighting"
Mina: "But it's a rare moment of Bakugo being nice!!"
Bakugo: "Oh shut up you little squirt!"

He growls and began to watch you fight.

You heard his voice of reassurance and you fought even harder. Using every element, besides water of course. You managed to attack him, hitting him closer to the line each knock. But he always got up everytime. He used your 5 second advantaged, and used a ice wall to knock you out of bounds. Once you charged for him, he placed his foot down. Letting an ice wall swing your way. You couldn't dodge, so you got hit out bounds.

You were coughing and slowly got up, heading to the rest of the class.

The last round was Bakugo and Todoroki.

Bakugo: "Show me what you're made of!"
Bakugo charges, starting off at a good start. Todoroki only did defense.

Todoroki, a while back had to fight Midoriya. Midoriya finally opened him up, letting him use his fire power. But it was Midoriya who helped a Todoroki use his fire side, not because of his father.. but he showed him that Todoroki's power was his own, his father does not own his power. Todoroki was more powerful.

However, in his fight with Bakugo, he never used his fire side once. He just stuck with using his ice methods. Bakugo grew more angry, he wanted a challenge.

Todoroki finally did offense, going after Bakugo.

After a very long time, the ending scene was a huge explosion. Both combined Bakugo's quirk, and Todoroki's.

Todoroki was unconscious. Bakugo went up to him and grabbed him by his shirt.

Bakugo: "GET UP LOSER! I CANT WIN LIKE THIS!"

Todoroki was still unconscious.

Bakugo: "THIS ISNT HOW I WANTED THIS TO GO! CHALLENGE ME!! Why didn't you use any fire techniques!!! TODOROKI DAMMIT WAKE UP!"

Mr. Aizawa blew his whistle. He slowly began to clap.

Mr. Aizawa: "Congratulations. Bakugo is the winner."

Bakugo was still so angry. Todoroki didn't put up a hard challenge, leaving Bakugo with an easy win.

Later that day...

You were with the class, in the lounge. Todoroki was left in the infirmary with Recovery Girl. Bakugo was still angry, he was sitting on a couch, all by himself. He kicks everybody out of his space whenever somebody goes next to him. You sit next to him, laying your head on his thighs.

Bakugo: "I said leave me al-"
"Aish be quiet.. let me sleep"

He plays with your hair, and looks at you.

"Why are you so angry?"
Bakugo: "Todoroki."
"What about him..?"
Bakugo: "He fought with no determination to win. He has so much power, and he doesn't even use half of it. It just ticks me off."
"Oh Bakugo.. always wanting to be the best."
Bakugo: "Is that such a bad thing?!"
"No.. you're just filled up with so much pride.."
Bakugo: "What are you trying to say?!!"

He slowly gets more angrier and tense.

"Aish.. quiet.."

You close your eyes, he sighs and continues playing with your hair. Everybody else was just talking. They don't mind anything you and Bakugo do anymore, since it happens pretty often.

"Bakugo.. it's best if you let it go ok. You'll always be the best, you're always number 1.. just accept that"

You slowly fall asleep with your head on his lap.
