"Unless she had a strong quirk up her sleeve she's probably a goner."
Kira glanced over at Bakugou who stared straight ahead. The first match has already started, Iida was the hero and the bird headed guy was the villain. Turns out "Dark Shadow" was a part of his quirk. Good thing the dude wasn't schizophrenic.
"Deku plans everything. He makes backup plans for his backup plans. Not to mention his stupid random quirk. The quirk he's been hiding all these years. The only thing I had that he didn't was a quirk, bet he thought that it was funny. Me thinking I had something he didn't." His jaw clinched.
"New kid's only advantage is her mystery. No one knows her quirk yet. But from the looks of her... It's not too powerful. She got in because of her brain, she better be a fucking genius."
Kira sighed. 'Thanks for the vote of confidence.' she thought sarcastically.
Bakugou was right about a few things. But he was wrong about one thing. Her advantage wasn't her mystery.
Everyone was underestimating her.
That was her advantage.
Well that and her ability to know her opponents next move with just her mind. And out there, where the only thoughts she could hear were his?
Aizawa must have known it would be the best conditions for her. He made it one on one, so that she could think clearly. He even raised the time she had before the match. The villains had fifteen minutes to prepare.
But he was passing it off like he was challenging her. What a clever, cheeky little bastard. She had to think of something that would make sure he didn't even get the chance to touch her. Hand to hand combat would be suicide. Not only does he have a quirk so powerful it breaks everything including his arms. But he's also physically stronger than her a well.
She has fifteen minutes... That's all.

Kira bolted upstairs. The bomb box was on the second floor. She had read Aizawa's mind when he was looking over the layout of the building so she knew every inch of the place.
The past few rounds all went the same way, the Villains waited in the room the bomb was in and waited for the hero to come and try to take it. Kira didn't know how they could just sit there for fifteen minutes doing nothing but strategizing. She scanned the room and ran to the bomb.
Kira was going to use every second of her time to make sure she would win. She grabbed the bomb and ran out of the room, quickly finding the original staircase she came up from. She wasn't used too all of this running. Plus the bomb felt like it weighed fifty pounds. She jogged down the stairs and took a right. Finding a door in a dark hallway that was thinner than all the rest.
She pulled it open and clicked on the light.
A basement.
She ran down it and looked around. There it was, a fake furnace.
There were three ways for the villain to win this exercise.
1: Beat the hero up until he either gave up or could no longer fight.
2: Capture the villain with the twenty feet of capture tape provided at the beginning of the exercise. It didn't matter if they could break free, all she had to do was wrap it around one body part and tie it.
Or 3: Make sure the hero failed to touch the bomb before the times runs out.
Kira's plan wasn't just to hide the bomb. Though that was a part of it. Like a little insurance just in case. She grabbed a random piece of thin metal from the ground and used it to pry open the side of a panel on the furnace. Just as she expected it wasn't actually real, it was hollow. Just something to make the basement seem a little more realistic.
Kira opened up the box and took out the bomb, sliding it carefully into the furnace. She shoved the furnace until the side snapped back on.
She took out her tape. It was actually a pretty tough material. Not made to be torn, just wrapped around her opponent. She smirked as she unwound the tape.
She had a plan.

"Uh, what's she doing?" Kirishima asked with a confused expression.
"I'm... Not entirely sure." Aizawa said honestly with a frown. Kira was using her tape to pull down a PVC pipe from the ceiling.
"She... She does know what the tape is for right? Ribbit." Tsu asked, putting a finger to her chin.
"Yes I told her."
Aizawa said. Kira had done several odd things. Such as take out the bomb and fill the box with bricks. And take apart some of the pipes over head. And completely unwound her tape.
No one really realized what she was doing.
"Whatever she's doing she needs to hurry up. She has only six minutes left on the clock." Sero said with some worry. Everyone kinda wanted her to do good.
"Do you know what she's doing?" Denki cautiously asked, glancing at Bakugou. He was sitting in the corner with his arms crossed.
"WHY THE HELL WOULD I KNOW?!"
He snapped.
"Nevermind! Sorry Baku-bro." He said, sweating nervously.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!!"
Bakugou's screams went ignored as they glanced over at the clock. Aizawa put a finger to his ear. "Kokoa. You have five minutes." He said.
Kira had finally pulled the rope down. She somehow hooked it to the box. Though very precariously.
"I don't understand why she's even doing that. If she so much as touches the box the string will let go and the pipe will go back. There's no point in it." Mina said, scrunching up her nose.
Bakugou's eyes widened as he finally realized what she was doing. The box, the tape, the taut pipe. "I think..." He mumbled. Mina looked at him.
"I think that's the point."

Kira walked to the breaker. She had less than a minute left. She popped it open and clicked all of the switches, except the light in the hall right above the basement. There was just barely enough light to shine on the box. The clasp holding it shut glinting in the light.
She walked to the other side of the room and ducked behind the furnace that hid the actual bomb. Watching her decoy from the dark.
She detected Midoriyas thoughts soon after he entered the building. They faded slightly as he headed up the stairs to where every other battle had taken place. It wouldn't take him long to search every room and then make his way too the basement.
She heard the door creak open. It had already been cracked open, but now it was fully open. The light exposing the box. Though it was too dim to see anything else.
"There it is. I'll just grab it and go. Did she run? She's probably hiding upstairs. His the bomb down here thinking I wouldn't check the basement. She left the door cracked though, that was sloppy. She has a lot to learn if she's going to make cut it at UA."
Kira bit back a smirk. For someone so smart, he really was an idiot. He walked down the stairs. Still cautious but not trying to be sneaky. she soon heard his voice and saw the faint blue glow of his earpiece. "Hey m-mr Aizawa? Is Kira even still here? I can't find her." He whispered. Kora couldn't hear Aizawa's response unfortunately.
"Alright, yes sir. Sorry sir."
"I should have known he wouldn't tell me anything that could make this easy. Alright fine, just open the box. Touch the stupid bomb and be over with this "training" as though I'm benefiting for this at all."
Midoriya didn't seem too happy about being put against a "weaker" opponent. Kira gripped her brick and metal pipe. If this failed she'd have to fight him to protect the furnace. She'd throw the brick, then come at him with the pipe and try her luck at knocking him out.
But it did work.
"This is too easy."
He thought smugly he reached over to touch the latch. "I've beaten Kacchan and his new friend. I really am number one- what's that white-"
He touched the box, just barely moving it to the side. The small piece of wire that she had just barely hooked on it slid loose and the tightened pipe shot back up to its original position. The loop that she had laid loosely around the box pulled up and then tightened around his wrist. Midoriya jumped back but it didn't do much, the tape was tight around his glove. The pipe pulled him up from his crouched position and he ended up hanging by one arm, with wide, shocked eyes.
"Midoriya is restrained. The match goes too Kokoa, Kira."
