"Now that the lunch is over, it´s finally time to reveal the last game! But before that, there is good news for everyone that didn´t make it this far. We´ve prepared recreational games that everyone can participate in, too! We´ve even brought real cheerleaders from America to liven things up. Huh?"
"What´s the matter, Class A? What kind of fan service is that?" All the girls from our class are wearing cheerleader outfits.
"Kaminari you´re becoming really desperate, huh?"
"Oh come on, dude! Don´t pretend you don´t like it.
" I look to the cheerleaders. "I guess it´s not bad.
"All right everyone! Let´s have fun with the recreational games! When that´s over, the sixteen people with the highest ranking will duke it out tournament style, one on one!"
"Now let´s draw the bracket." announced Midnight.
Ojiro puts his hand up. "I´m withdrawing."
A little guy from the other class also announces his withdrawal.
"Youthful talk like that is something I like! Shoda! Ojiro! I accept your withdrawal! But in that case, we´ll have to move up 4 people from the fifth team and 1 person from the sixth. That means the whole Team Tetsutetsu and Kendo are going to the next."
She swings her whip around. "This is the bracket based on the results of the drawing!"
Kirishima vs Tetsutetsu
Uraraka vs Hatsume
Midoriya vs Ashido
Honenuki vs Sero
Tokoyami vs Shinso
Kendo vs Kira
Awase vs Bakugo
Shiozaki vs Monoma
I turn to Kendo and she waves at me with a smile.
"All right" Let´s leave the tournament aside for a moment! Let´s have fun with the recreation!!! First is the scavenger hunt!"
I didn´t participate in the games. I had my fun teasing Jiro about her outfit.
We are sitting in the tribune eagerly waiting for the first match. Cementos is creating the concrete battlefield with his quirk.
"The finals you´ve all been waiting for are finally starting! Match number one! The resilient Eijiro Kirishima, from class 1-A versus the tough Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, from class 1-B! The rules are simple. Force your opponents out of bounds, immobilize them or make them surrender!"
"Ready!"
"Start!"
Both contestants immediately activate their quirks and run at each other.
Their fists meet mid-air, creating sparks. No one gets pushed back.
Kirishima punches Tetsutetsu, but he retorts in the same way.
It´s a battle of stamina. This goes on for a full minute till they headbutt each other, both falling unconscious.
"It´s a draw! After they recover the winner will be determined by an agreed contest." Says Midnight.
"Until they recover let´s look at the next match!" announces Present Mic.
Robots take away the unconscious contestants and the next turn starts.
"It´s match number two, everyone! Uraraka Ochaco from class 1-A versus Mei Hatsume, from class 1-H."
"Start!"
Uraraka runs to Hatsume trying to touch her, but when she removes her gravity Hatsume starts advertising her jetpack with a gyroscope and whatnot.
Uraraka is looking at the flying girl dumbfounded.
The match lasted whole five minutes and at the end, Hatsume surrendered.
Uraraka looked like her soul left her body.
"Let´s keep it going. It´s time for the third math! Izuku Midoriya who shined in both previous rounds, from class 1-A versus Mina Ashido also from 1-A!"
"Let´s go! Start!"
Ashido slides on the ground around Midoriya. She swings her foot towards Midoriya´s head.
He ducks down to the ground and flicks his finger. It creates high winds and pushes Ashido away out of bounds.
That wasn´t even a minute.
"What a quick victory from Midoriya?!?!"
"We have no time to spare it´s the fourth match! Juzo Honenuki from class 1-B versus Hanta Sero, from 1-A! What will they show us?! Let´s take a look!"
"Start!"
Sero shoots tape out of his arms at Honenuki. He then tries pulling him away, but the tapes tear apart and turn into some kind of gel.
It confuses Sero quite a bit.
Honenuki, now free of the restraint crouches and puts his hand on the ground. The ground turns into a slime-like consistency and Sero sinks down as you would into quicksand.
At the last moment, he surrenders, making Honenuki the victor.
"An overwhelming victory from Honenuki! What else will 1-B show us? We´ll have to wait to find out."
"Now it´s the fifth fight! The only student from general studies Hitoshi Shinso versus the dark Tokoyami Fumikage, from 1-A! Let's get it rolling!"
"Start!"
Tokoyami´s Dark Shadow flies at Shinso.
"What a pathetic quirk." mocks Shinso.
Dark Shadow responds with "Hey!" and is stopped in front of Shinso´s face.
Dark Shadow turns around with a blank look and lunges at the shocked Tokoyami. He tries dodging, but he can´t run away from his own quirk for the whole fight.
In a moment Tokoyami´s own quirk pushes him out of bounds.
"A twist coming from Shinso! He surprised us with a swift victory!"
Oh, it´s my turn, now.
"Good luck." says Jiro.
"I hope you slip on the way." adds Kaminari.
"Thanks, bro" I walk to the arena.
"It´s time for match number six, everyone! We have Yasushi Kira, from 1-A versus Itsuka Kendo, from 1-B!"
"Start!"
I wait to see what will my opponent do.
Kendo enlarges her right fist and strikes me.
I manifest Killer Queen´s left arm and redirect the strike away. Then I retaliate with an uppercut from the right arm.
Kendo distances herself and says. "I can do this all day." I put Killer Queen´s arms in a boxing position. "Let´s see, then."
I hit her with a left jab, which she dodges by crouching. She aims a punch on my stomach. I catch her enlarged fist with Killer Queen´s left hand and throw her behind me.
She positions herself in the air and lands out of bounds.
"Kendo is out of bounds! The winner is Kira!" Midnight announces.
We shook hands as a sign of sportsmanship.
"Good fight"
"Yeah, I still have a lot to learn." says Kendo.
I walk away and return to my seat. "Dude, that was so manly!"
"Eh, you´re back from the infirmary."
"Yeah, recovery girl patched me up real quick."
"When is your rematch?"
"Right after the eighth fight"
"It´s the seventh match, baby! On the left side is Katsuki Bakugo, from 1-A! An explosive quirk with an even more explosive temper. Against him is Yosetsu Awase, from 1-B!"
"Start!"
They run at each other at full speed. Bakugo swings his hand at Awase´s head.
He moves his head away and touches Bakugo´s leg. The leg becomes integrated with his hand so Awase drags Bakugo to the ground.
He falls down on his butt and starts firing explosions at his opponent in anger.
"I give up! I give up!" shouts the charred Awase.
"Awase forfeited! The winner is Bakugo!" announces Midnight.
"It´s time for the last match of this round! We have Ibara Shiozaki, from 1-B versus Neito Monoma, also from 1-B!"
"Start!"
Monoma instantly covers Ibara in a layer of ice.
"What an amazing display of power from Monoma?! The battle ended in an instant!"
I look around and see Todoroki sitting in a corner, facing the wall.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, leave me alone."
"I know that you wanted to advance to the next round, but it´s not the end of the world. Well, I guess you have a reason however being angry won´t change anything."
On the field, Kirishima had an arm-wrestling contest with Tetsutetsu. Once again it was a close match, but in the end, Kirishima won.
