The next event was 1 on 1 match. While midnight was explaining Ojiro told us that he is withdrawing.
He came to me and told me about his quirk but of course I said, "It's going to be ok"
"Yeah, you're the strongest." He said and chukled while I grined in agreement.
°•°•°•
The crowd murmured with excitement as Akira Gojo and Hitoshi Shinso stepped onto the battlefield. Midnight gave the signal, and the match began.
"Hey, Gojo," Shinso called, smirking. "How does it feel to be overconfident?"
I knew his quirk involved brainwashing, so I simply tilted my head, smirking back without saying a word.
Shinso clicked his tongue in annoyance, realizing his tactic had failed. I dashed forward, appearing right in front of him in an instant, and with a light flick on his forehead, he was sent stumbling back. He tried to recover, but I was relentless, easily dodging his attempts to speak and closing in on him with swift movements.
With one last move, I gently tapped his shoulder, and Shinso toppled over, defeated. Midnight raised her arm, signaling the victory. "Winner: Akira Gojo!"
I saw Ojiro showing me a thumbs up. I did the same.
The next match was Iida vs Hatsume. As Iida squared off against Hatsume, he was taken aback by the number of gadgets she had prepared. The match felt more like a presentation as she showcased each of her support items, with Iida unable to get close.
I was chuckling the whole time.
Iida tried to keep up, but Hatsume's inventions kept him on his toes. Eventually, after showing off her latest gadget, she gracefully withdrew, declaring her intent had been to promote her support equipment.
With her departure, Iida was declared the winner.

The third match was Sero vs. Todoroki. Sero stepped onto the field with a confident grin, while Todoroki's gaze remained cold and unwavering. The signal was given, and Todoroki immediately launched an ice wall that spread across the stadium.
Sero attempted to evade with his tape, but Todoroki's overwhelming control of ice proved to be too much. Within seconds, Sero found himself frozen in place, immobilized.
"Winner: Shoto Todoroki!"
As the one-on-one matches were announced, I glanced over to see Ochako taking a deep breath, psyching herself up. Knowing she'd be facing Bakugo, I decided to catch her before she stepped into the ring.
"Hey, Ochako," I called out, making my way over to her. She turned, her usual bright demeanor wavering with nerves.
"Akira! Um, thanks for stopping by," she replied, trying to sound confident. But I could tell she was a bit tense.
"Listen," I said, leaning in with a calm grin, "you've got this. Bakugo's tough, but you've got that killer instinct when you need it. Use that to your advantage."
She nodded, a spark of determination lighting up in her eyes. "Thank you, Gojo. I... I won't hold back."
"Good," I said, giving her a light pat on the shoulder. "Just remember, it's about strategy, not power. You've got that covered."
With a final smile, I turned and made my way back to watch the match from the sidelines.
Uraraka faced off against Bakugo with a determined look in her eyes. As the match began, she immediately dashed forward, trying to get close enough to touch him and make him float.
Bakugo, however, was relentless. He unleashed a barrage of explosions, keeping her at a distance. Despite her best efforts and quick thinking, the gap in their raw power became apparent.
After a fierce struggle, Bakugo landed the final blow, securing his victory.
"Winner: Katsuki Bakugo!"
The moment Uraraka's match ended, I found her sitting on the bench, catching her breath. Bakugo had won, but she'd put up a fierce fight. I walked over, giving her a nod of approval.
"Hey," I said softly, "you did great out there."
She looked up, her eyes a bit red but shining with pride. "Thanks, Gojo. I... I did my best."
"You really did," I replied, sitting down beside her. "No one expected you to go toe-to-toe with Bakugo like that. You impressed everyone out there, including him."
Uraraka smiled, wiping her eyes. "Thanks for believing in me, Gojo. It... means a lot."
"Of course," I replied with a grin.
"Also...All the best for your match." Said Uraraka and I showed her a thumbs up.
With a final nod, I got up, giving her space to recover before the next round of matches.
(Sensei vibes❤️❤️)
Fifth Match: Gojo vs. Todoroki
The arena buzzed as Akira and Todoroki stood face-to-face. Todoroki had been waiting for this, and I couldn't help but smirk at his intensity. As the match began, he immediately summoned a wave of ice, which I effortlessly dodged, leaping over it with ease.
The crowd watched in awe as we exchanged blows, each move calculated and precise. Todoroki's ice attacks came in rapid succession, but I met each one with graceful evasion and subtle counters. It was clear Todoroki wasn't holding back, and I felt the thrill of a real challenge.
Suddenly I heard a voice coming from behind me.
"Akira Gojo, is withdrawing right now."
It was a familiar voice.
"No, it couldn't be. How?" My eyes lit up.
I glanced back, heart pounding. It was him, standing there with a calm, unreadable expression-his gaze steady, piercing right through me and ofcourse I smirked.
A/N: Sorry this chapter is short. I didn't had much in mind and I can't really right action scenes well. I can't put my imagination in words😭😭. The next chapter would be long enough.
Also can you guess who is the person?
