Lee's mother, Julia, made a large grin as she was sitting on the front lines.
To a mother, nothing would cheer her up more than seeing her only kid shine between her peers.
Lee successfully made the spot to the top.
But one thing was funny.
"Hehe…" she put a hand on her face and laughed when she had noticed that Lee had his hands on his crotch.
That what he got from having three girls clinging to his body, one of them was having her chest on his neck.
Taking her phone, she didn't forget to take pictures, just to tease him a later with it. Very soon, Midnight announced the rankings and the next events.
Lee obviously got the first spot like the previous event before raising his finger.
Only one to go and I'll take that green car of yours… that what she understood from him.
***
Although she knew that he is only serious about classing because he wants her car, so be it. Cheering up for her kid, she waited for the next events.
There were some filler events to entertain the audience before the final battle with 4 teams fighting.
Lee of course didn't participate in those, as he was the type who didn't like to entertain people. However, seeing the other participants running from giant rolling balls and falling was funny. If Lee had participated, it would be fun to take pics for him.
Whatever he would make an appearance in the next event. Taking with her phone, she started to film the last event.
Lee was called to the stage by Midnight, as he was the one to open the first round to fight. In front of him stood a guy named Kirishima, someone with hardening type Quirk.
Kirishima cracked his fists as he made eye contact with Lee and hardened his skins. With a loud voice, he said, "I heard you took care of those villains. Too bad we didn't have time to chat since you bled out."
"Let's get over this quickly."
"Don't take me lightly."
Kirishima screamed and dashed toward Lee, who didn't move from his place.
As soon as he got 5 meters next to him, Lee turned his back and walked out of the stage.
This usually would mean losing.
However, Kirishima flew back all of the sudden and fell on his back, not realising what's going on.
Julia smiled wryly. Her son's Quirk seems more potent than hers, or anyone in the family except for few.
At Least Lee doesn't need to touch the thing he wants to use his power at.
Anyway, he won the first round easily.
The battles continued and people were getting excluded out. Class B-1 seemed to have the highest number in round two. Reiko fought a girl who could make things weightless, and she won easily against her, thanks to her ability that allows her to move things with a human weight limit. It was a good battle as well. Itsuka fought with Momo, who could create things. However, because the brunet took much time thinking about what to do, Kendo was able to throw her after making her hand big enough to hold a human.
The two girls offered hands together and were able to get out.
The next of the rounds were good, two guys more shined.
One was a red-white haired guy who could manipulate ice.
The other one was a kid with explosive blonde hair an anger issue. His explosion Quirk was good.
The second round began and the last eight had fought. Reiko lost to one guy who had a dark shadow standing and fighting next to him. Itsuka didn't make it with the ice guy. Despite having the ability to break the ice, her hands got cold quickly and she had to retreat and lose. Ibara, on the other hand, had fought with an electricity guy, and now someone who has an engine on his legs, giving him swift speed.
Because of her encounter with Lee, who taught her not to close her eyes, she seemed to give the guy a run for his money with her vines covering the ring instead of just making a shield. The engine man found it hard to run with vines all over the ring, and the girl didn't seem to shield only her back now, but her whole body. In the end, one of her vines wrapped his leg before sending him flying out of the ring.
Lee, on the other hand, had a hard time against one opponent, who happened to be a kid from the educational department.
That kid had a Quirk that can hypnotise you and make you move according to his vice, had you replied.
However, a red mark appeared on Lee's cheek, and he turned toward the other teenager anger.
'Why did he get angry all of the sudden?' Julia blinked 'And how did that bastard slap him.'
-x-x-x-
I can't believe it, one of my opponents could hypnotise me.
He ordered me to get out, and my body had reacted to his voice.
Luckily, I didn't lose control over Star Platinum. Ordering my friend, I told him to pinch me or do anything to wake me up from my daze.
But he gave me a slap!
You know what, a slap from Star Platinum is the last thing you ever want to experience.
That slap nearly killed me.
Ha… I had told him to be gentle, that bastard.
"You could stop, tell me, how you did that." The other teenager asked me.
I didn't answer and glared at his eyes. Cracking my fists, I walked forward. I was angry because of the bitch slap that I got. And this kid was the reason I got it.
"Oh, Lee seems to be angry." Present Mic commented.
"I don't recommend staying in his way after this." Vlad King commented as well.
He didn't know what to do, "hey answer me, did the cat get your tongue."
At this moment, when I was standing in front of him, he lifted his head and said, sweating, "you figured out how my Quirk works, didn't you."
I didn't know what he said. I only held him from his collar, with one hand, and lifted him easily. With my physical strength now, he was so light. I was about to tell him something before throwing him out.
He sighed and lowered his head. "Seems that you knew that you need to answer me so my power would work."
I stopped for a second. His power works that way. Wait a second. And I almost got a second slap from Star Platinum here. Looking at the Stand, he seemed to have a grin on his face. Huh? You are happy to see me suffer, right.
He saw my facial expression and could tell what I thought.
"You didn't know!" He was shocked since he gave me his trick.
Deciding not to waste any more time, I held him from his collar and threw him away out of the ring.
Very soon, the semi-finals came, with me, Ibara, Shoto, and Bakugo participating.
The battles were like this. Ibara versus Shoto, while me against Bakugo.
"Hey, you!"
As we were having a small break, next to the arena until it gets fixed, Bakugo made a smirk and pointed to me with his finger.
"Yes?" I said.
"The next battle, I'll prove to you that you are just an extra!"
"I am extra thicc compared to you," I raised my middle finger on him.
"What did you say, bastard."
I flinched. Did he call me bastard again didn't he?
"You remember what happened the last time." I shrugged my shoulders. "Don't hurt yourself. Our match is the next one."
"Get there, right now," Bakugo was so excited, as his red eyes beamed with a challenging glance at me.
"Good Grief. I am in no hurry for that." I turned my back at him, ignoring him. I'll have just to throw him since our fight is the second one.
I could feel that he was exploding in anger as I ignored him.
