"Congratulations, Harry." Ojiro nodded towards Potter.
"Thanks." Harry nodded back and sat down in his seat.
"Hey Harry, where did you put all the concrete? I haven't seen you throwing debris out of the hole. Ribbit."
Tsuyu tapped her chin with a finger and tilted her head in confusion. The teenager thought about the answer for a couple of seconds.
"My shadow mouths lead somewhere where nothing can get out. I somehow threw my Wi-Fi camera there to see what's inside. And well... I lost fifteen thousand yen that day." he sighed "It was a good camera..."
Another explosion was heard in the arena and Harry suddenly remembered that now there is a fight between Bakugo and Kirishima.
"Did he feel that hit?!"
The red-haired teen staggered from the force of the explosion and Katsuki smirked. Harry began to lip-read his words.
"You're always going on about how fucking hard your damn body is." there was another explosion "But it looks like with enough rapid attacks..." and another one "You start falling to pieces."
Bakugo, with a mad smile, began striking quick blows all over Kirishima's body and he began to quickly lose ground.
"Now die!" with the last powerful explosion, Kaminari passed out.
"And, well... I knew you wouldn't last a drawn-out fight against me."
"Bakugo's low-down carpet bombing blasts him into the next round! And with that, we've got our final four!"
"Looks like you're going against Bakugo next." Kaminari said. He still had a blackeye after his fight.
"Huh? Recovery Girl hasn't healed your wounds?"
"She was busy with Deku's operation, so I couldn't even get a smooch." he touched his eye and twitched a little "Ida knocked me out with one kick..."
Harry nodded in understanding.
"Let's move on to the next round! Both of these competitors come from renowned hero families! It's a fight between elites! Tenya Ida VS Shoto Todoroki!"
The two teenagers looked at each other in silence with confidence in their eyes.
"Start!"
Todoroki started the match again with a wave of ice, but Ida jumped over the incoming attack and counterattacked with a kick on incredible speed. Shoto dropped to the ground to dodge, but Ida continued his run and kicked his opponent in the back of the head.
Ice spikes exploded under his feet and Tenya had to jump again to avoid the trap. He grabbed Todoroki by the back of his jacket and pulled him to the edge of the arena without slowing down. But halfway through, he stopped abruptly, the exhaust pipe on his left leg covered with ice. Within a second, Todoroki grabbed Ida's hand and completely froze him up to his neck.
"Ida is unable to continue! Todoroki moves on without using his fire powers!"
Harry got up from his seat and walked towards the arena.
"Good luck with your match, Harry!" Toru waved a cheerleading ball at him and the teenager waved back without turning.

"And now the explosive power of Katsuki Bakugo will meet the shadows of Harry Potter! Are you ready for a spectacular show, listeners?!"
Bakugo cracked his knuckles and frowned at Potter. Both teenagers knew this match would be difficult for them, but neither was going to back off.
"Hey, eyeballs, you use shadows, right?"
Harry blinked.
"Eyeballs? Wow, did I just get a nickname from you? Thanks!" he folded his arms over his chest and looked irritably at the blond.
"So I just need to strip you of the shadows and knock you out." Bakugo ignored the sarcasm in Potter's voice.
"Start!"
Bakugo put his hands behind his back and quickly closed the distance between himself and Potter with a couple of explosions. Harry completely covered his body with shadows and two bright green eyes opened on his shoulders. He got into a typical Muai Thai stance and prepared for the attack.
The blond hit with a wide hook from the right, but Harry grabbed his hand and pushed it further, an explosion sounded a second too late. A powerful knee hit landed in Bakugo's stomach, from which he flew back a couple of meters.
"Ain't gonna cut it, chief!" an unnaturally wide grin appeared on Harry's face and split his face in half.
"Bastard! I thought you were a long-range fighter!"
Bakugo growled and went on the attack again, this time watching his opponent's every move. The smile on Harry's face only grew wider. Katsuki hit Potter directly in the chest with his left hand and this time the explosion sounded in time. At this point, the eyeless teen turned 360 to the right to avoid the explosion and elbowed Bakugo in the jaw.
"What an unexpected twist! Potter, who previously only used ranged attacks, dominates in close combat!" Present Mic shouted, clearly excited.
The blond growled in annoyance and used his explosions again to force his way forward. He flew over Potter's head and kicked him in the the head, sending another blast to his back a second later. Harry fell face down to the ground, but in one movement, as if in a dance, he got to his feet. Now he was not in a Muai Thai stance anymore, he was bending to the ground and swaying a little from side to side.
"Is he dancing?!"
Mina jumped up from her seat and pointed at Harry, Ojiro folded his arms over his chest.
"No, it's Capoeira. He said he knew a bunch of martial arts, but seeing him actually use them..." he shook his head with a smile.
"Huh?! Bastard, why are you dancing?!"
Bakugo pushed off the ground with an explosion and attacked Harry in the fall, he crossed his arms in front of him and prepared to take the blow. Another explosion thundered and two teenagers went into a cloud of dust, but after a couple of seconds the dust settled down and three teenagers again became visible to Everyone again.
"Wait, what?! Another wild Potter has appeared in the arena!" Present Mic looked between two identical black silhouettes and could not figure out where the real one was.
Bakugo only looked at it for a second and noticed a thin shadow on the floor that connected the two bodies. He immediately raised both his hands between the two Potters and a bright explosion thundered in the arena.
"If I break the connection between your shadows, you'll have to show your face!"
From the dust cloud, two legs flew into Bakugo's face at once and the teenager staggered away from the force of the blow. When the dust settled, everyone could see the two black silhouettes reflecting each other's movements like in a mirror. But after a second, the silhouette on the right disappeared and only the real Potter remained in the arena.
"Sorry Bakugo, but I have my own tricks."
Katsuki, still on the ground, wiped the blood from under his nose and frowned.
"Annoying piece of shit!"
Without getting up, Bakugo raised his right hand towards Harry and the eyes on the teen's shoulders widened in surprise. He immediately blocked his face and body with his hands, preparing for the inevitable. The most powerful explosion in the entire match thundered, again raising a huge amount of dust into the air. It was a risky attack for Bakugo, if he didn't knock Potter out, then he created the perfect source of shadows for him...
No shadow attacks emerged from the dust cloud. Bakugo got to his feet and crouched down, preparing for everything, but his opponent did not appear. He tried to find at least some silhouette in the dust, but could not see anything.
"What's with the dust clouds today? I can't see a thing!"
Suddenly Bakugo heard the ground breaking under his feet and his eyes widened in shock.
"That bastard is underground!" the teenager did not waste time and flew into the air with the help of his explosions, a second later, in his place shadow spikes with eyes erupted from the ground and began to look around. Bakugo traveled airborne to the hole that Harry had created - the dust had already settled down, so he could see it perfectly - and landed next to it.
"Let's see how you dodge this!" he smiled madly and sent a huge blast down the hole.
"I don't." a voice was heard behind him and the teenager was kicked in the back of the head. Hard. Bakugo's eyes rolled back into his skull and he passed out.
"Bakugo's unconscious! Potter wins!" announced Midnight.
"Looks like our final match is set! Todoroki versus Potter!"
He stopped using Pride to cover his body and looked at his next opponent without even trying to wipe the blood off his face. Todoroki returned his gaze with a slight frown. Harry smiled with a smile full of bloody teeth and waved a friendly wave at the mismatched-haired teenager.

"Whoa, Potter was able to knock Bakugo out? To be honest, with his weakness for light, I expected a slightly different outcome." Kaminari stared at Katsuki's unconscious body with astonishment.
"Potter has a strong Quirk that he can use to spy on girls, a handsome face, a hot body and knows a bunch of martial arts... Damn, I'm jealous!!" Mineta pulled himself by the head and mentally screamed at the injustice of the world.
"You know you can learn Martial Arts too? You just need to put in more effort." Tsuyu said while looking at the pervert accusingly.
"Do not stop me from suffering from my incredibly difficult fate!" he screamed.
"How did he do it? When Bakugo detonated his 'flash grenade' between him and his clone, his clone had to be destroyed." Ochako frowned and turned to Midoriya "Deku, have any ideas?"
Izuku raised his right hand and scratched his chin in thought.
"His quirk is control and materialization of shadows, he is also able to create fully working eyes and mouths on them, he told us about this. The only question is what he did not tell us. Perhaps he can make his shadows immune to light... Every time his shadows should have disappeared, but remained in place, blood begins to flow from his nose. So maybe... " the green-haired teenager's muttering became too fast and neither Ida nor Uraraka could understand a word.
Midoriya was interrupted by a sudden loud sound from Ida's direction. The black-haired teenager vibrated in his chair.
""Whoa! What's that?!"" Izuku and Ochako asked at the same time.
"My phone." his voice also vibrated.
"Oh. Your phone..." Midoriya breathed a sigh of relief.
"I apologize, but I need to answer." Ida got up from his seat and left the stands to answer the phone.
"Hello. I lost, mother... I apologize if I've disappointed you-"
"No! It isn't about that... Oh, Tenya... Stay calm and listen to me... It's Tensei... Your brother... A villain got him..." the teenager stopped dead on his feet.

At the Orphanage, Karin stared at the monitor with furrowed brows.
"Harry's bleeding again... I don't like it."
Azumi stroked the girl's head and smiled softly.
"Don't worry, they have Recovery Girl in UA, so she'll bring Harry back to his original state in a couple of minutes. And don't forget that he's strong. A little drop of blood won't stop him."
The blue-haired girl looked at Azumi for a couple of seconds and shook her head.
"No, that's not the problem. Why doesn't the others bleed? It's not fair!"
'THIS bothers you?!' flashed through everyone's head.
The woman's smile did not change, but her aura became much darker.
"Why isn't it fair, Karin?" her voice was soft but cold as ice.
"Harry says you should give as much as you receive! This is The Law Of Equivalent Exchange! So if Harry's bleeding, then his opponents should too!" Karin answered with a huge smile.
"Hmm... Is that so? I'll talk to Harry about this... law." the Orphanage workers shuddered in their seats.
'I don't want to be in his place...'
At the same time, a chill ran down Harry's spine and the teenager felt that his very soul was in danger.
