Chapter 17 - Tang Hao vs Bakugo

"Winner of the quarterfinals second match Tang Hao!" Midnight shouted. After winning the match, Tang Hao walked up to Iida and asked "Are you alright class president? Did I injure you?" Iida who was still shocked at his loss regained his senses and looked at Tang Hao before replying "I'm ok and not injured. But did you even take me seriously? Using an unknown move to push me out so easily.."

"That? Ah, it's a secret move I learned from my family, I don't use it very often." Tang Hao said whilst avoiding the question. "But, Ling Mengyu also knows this move... Is it possibly something exclusive to people from China? Or like in those films.." Iida said as he pondered

"Well class pres, I think it's time we go back in and wait for the next match to end." Tang Hao replied as he walked back inside. The next match between Ling Mengyu and Tokoyami who defeated Yaoyorozu in the previous match. Once again Tang Hao opened his eyes and nodded his head at Ling Mengyu before closing them again

As Ling Mengyu walked up on stage, Tang Hao thought to himself "Right in the original series, didn't Iida, Uraraka and others visit Midoriya after his match? All Might was there too so they should've seen him.. Why didn't they realize it after All Might defeated All For One and revealed his weakened form?"

"Third match of the quarterfinals between Ling Mengyu and Tokoyami Fumikage start!" Midnight shouted, as soon as she heard Midnight's voice, Ling Mengyu instantly disappeared from the eyes of the crowd and appeared on Tokoyami's left side then used her qi to push him. However, Tokoyami who watched Tang Hao and Ling Mengyu's previous matches used his dark shadow and surrounded his sides to try and block it

Although he could predict her attack, Ling Mengyu's powerful qi still caused him to fly out of bounds and before hitting the walls, Ling Mengyu controlled her flying sword with her qi to stop him from being hurt. "Winner, Ling Mengyu!" Midnight shouted

After winning her match, Ling Mengyu took her sword back then walked inside to cultivate beside Tang Hao. Tang Hao then opened his eyes and said quietly "Nice win" before closing them again and adjusted his breathing

Shortly afterward, the final match of the quarterfinals between Bakugo and Kirishima who had drawn with Tetsutetsu in a fight and proceeded to the quarterfinals through winning arm wrestle. The two had a full-on battle and Bakugo won by rapidly attacking Kirishima then making a final blow in the spot he managed to injure

Once Bakugo won the match, Midnight announced the final four "The top four are Todoroki Shoto, Tang Hao, Ling Mengyu and Bakugo Katsuki! Have some rest before the matches begin!"

During their rest, Midnight announced who the top four were fighting against, Tang Hao against Bakugo and Ling Mengyu against Todoroki. Once it became time to begin the semi finals, Tang Hao opened his eyes and walked to the stage, on the way out he met Bakugo giving him a cold glare as they walked out

Tang Hao hearing the cheers of the crowd, looked around and spotted his parents and Mr Otonashi amongst the crowd using his spiritual sense, though he could have found them with his eyes that were strengthened due to cultivating it would take more effort. Upon standing on the stage that was repaired multiple times by Cementoss, Tang Hao looked at Bakugo as the match is about to begin

"The 1st match of the semi-finals between Tang Hao and Bakugo Katsuki begins!" As soon as the match begun, Bang! Bakugo launched himself at Tang Hao using his quirk and tried to grab him. However, Tang Hao predicted this and dodged by bending backward, then coated his fist in lightning and punched Bakugo in the stomach as he passed through and flew into the air

Feeling the pain from Tang Hao's punch, Bakugo spat before he quickly dove down and spun like a corkscrew and used his Howitzer impact. Boom! Tang Hao took the blow head on using his lightning coated arms. The stage below them had huge cracks like a spider web but didn't get destroyed due to Tang Hao taking most of the impact

Seeing that his attack didn't work, Bakugo rotated his body in a one-eighty degree motion and sent a kick at Tang Hao's waist, Tang Hao reacted instantly by moving his leg up and blocked the kick before elbowing Bakugo in the back

Boom! the impact from the hit created tremors throughout the stage, as if not being able to feel the pain, Bakugo swept his leg at Tang Hao who is standing and managed to knock him over. He then threw an arm forward to hit Tang Hao with an explosion but Tang Hao responded by using the side of his hand to chop down at Bakugo's arm before doing a backflip and threw a lighting spear at Bakugo

Bakugo reacted and narrowly dodging the spear by rolling over then used his arm to support his body and flipped over before flying towards Tang Hao in the air and swung his arm in a wide motion. Bang! Tang Hao threw his fist forward colliding with Bakugo's creating a dust storm blocking the vision of the crowd

After a few seconds, Tang Hao and Bakugo landed on the stage and exchanged blows, their rapid punches quickly blew away the dust storm enabling the audience to see them again. Growing tired from their slugfest, Tang Hao and Bakugo jumped back at the same time then ran as if they were flying five cm above the stage and prepared for their final blow

"Let's end this!" Tang Hao said as he gathered a huge amount of lightning and formed a sword, Bakugo responded by throwing both his fists using all his power at Tang Hao's sword, Cementoss seeing the potential damage they could do interrupted by creating a giant wall in between just as he did in Midoriya and Todoroki's match. Bzzzz! Bleeeee! Boom! Bang! Destroying the huge concrete wall and the stage, the two took a final blow at each other

Boom! the impact of their attack caused huge winds to blow at the audience, as soon as the winds stopped the audience looked down at the destroyed stage. Tang Hao could be seen holding his lightning sword in his hand and Bakugo lying on the floor unconscious behind Tang Hao

"Winner of the 1st semi final match, Tang Hao!" Midnight shouted through the microphone "Wooo!!!" the audience screamed, Tang Hao and Bakugo's exciting match swept the crowd and even made the pro heroes watching sweat
