- And while Cementoss rebuilds our ring, I suggest we prepare the next challengers. And from the information I've been given, it should be two delightful girls! One! A fiery brunette with hair the colour of night! She had a little trouble in the last round, but even though her quirk was ineffective, she was able to overcome this unfortunate misunderstanding and win! The incomparable! Momo Yayorozu!
The stadium cheered. Momo is quite a spectacular girl, and with her appearance alone, she has recruited a huge number of intelligent people as fans.
- Her opponent will be a member of Class 1-B! The only one left on our leaderboard at the moment! The one who didn't have any problems in the last round. Despite the fact that her opponent possessed incredible abilities, she not only easily countered him, but also won in a matter of seconds from the start of the fight! I'm talking specifically about her, Ibara Shiozaki!
The stadium exploded with applause once again.
- Cementoss?
- Five more minutes...
- Yeah, then perhaps we should invite someone from the second round to keep me company while I wait and give me his opinion on the upcoming fight?
- That's not a bad idea!
Mick jumped up from his seat and shouted it so that everyone could hear. Maker, it's a good thing they didn't put him on commentary. Shouting into the microphone would have given him a headache.
- Izuku Midoriya, could you come over here?
I sighed and in one fell swoop jumped over the barrier of the stands, landing softly on the green grass that was growing in the stadium right next to the stands. And with a quick step he approached Midnight.
- Hello, beautiful...
I put my arm around the woman's waist.
- Oh, you're so brave... What about your girlfriend, Tsuyu?
- She doesn't mind.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Midnight! Midoriya!
I sighed pretentiously.
- Mick, stop being jealous so loudly... you don't get girls, so why do you have to ruin it for others?! Why don't you just keep your voice down?
The man opened and closed his mouth in a daze, and Midnight laughed with a bell.
- And yet, what can you say about the upcoming fight?
I shrugged.
- It's hard to say. Both girls' abilities are very attractive and can be used in a variety of ways in the upcoming fight.....
- So you can't say anything specific?
I shrugged once again.
- Bouts are unpredictable disciplines in general. And so far we've met opponents of equal strength, with the exception of Bakugo's fight in the first round. There it was perfectly visible what exactly happens with a significant difference in the level of forces and their understanding.
- Yeah, what would you advise....
Midnight looked at the paper.
- Kinoko Komori, Bakugo's opponent?
- Well, for starters, I'd suggest learning not to grow mushrooms, but to shoot spores. Not just mushrooms, but spores impregnated with the enzymes of the mushrooms themselves.
- Hmm.
Midnight looked thoughtfully at the podium.
- That's not a bad idea.
- Exactly. And when she learns how to do that with the simplest mushrooms, there are a few rare species to be found. Hallucinogens, sleeping pills... how many mushrooms can there be that affect the mind and body with the substances they contain?
- Komori! Did you hear everything?!
I could only read the answer on the lips of the girl who walked straight to the side of the bleachers.
- These are very promising ideas for using your quirk. So try to realise them and next year you may have better luck.
- And while we're at it...
Midnight licked her lips.
- What kind of girls do you like?
- Me?
I shrugged.
- All kinds. As long as they look harmonious and aren't stupid and narcissistic. You, for example.
I hold the woman a little tighter against me.
- ...quite to my taste, though you prefer to make yourself such a frivolous girl, but in my eyes I can see that it's all superficial. So if I didn't have a girlfriend, I'd probably try to win you over.
- And I'm right at the top of your list?
She smiled flatteringly and lecherously.
- Hmm... perhaps one of the first you share the top spot with a few more of my peers and older girls.
- Midoriya! Midnight! Enough of your bullshit! The ring... ugh, why do you call it a ring when it's an arena or just a platform, it doesn't matter! The important thing is that Cementoss is done, and you can stop acting like a couple...
- Mick, way to go...
I let the woman go.
- ...you're finally not shouting at the top of your lungs, but you're still a few tones lower, I'm sure it's still ringing in the ears of those around you.
- Affirmative.
Sotrigolov's voice sounded quite unexpected to everyone.
- And you're Sterka?!
I cringed as he didn't try to keep his voice down this time.
- Okay, go on, you trapper... Too bad you're already busy, I'd teach you some interesting things....
She grinned carnivorously, causing a new tightness in my trousers.
- And we can finally enjoy a fight between two beautiful women! Momo Yayorozu and Ibara Shiozaki, please come to the ring!
Two minutes later, the two girls were in the ring facing each other.
- I look forward to a beautiful fight, feminine behaviour and fair competition! Let the Duel begin!
Midnight swung her whip signalling the start of the fight.
Momo extremely quickly created two small sickles and abruptly jumped to the side waving one of the sickles. Only it was ineffective and out of the many thorns that came out from under the cement, she was only able to cut down one.
Once she was some distance away from her opponent, she began to move away from her opponent in a circle, unbuttoning her sports jacket and showing everyone that she had only a red bra underneath.
There was whistling from the stands....
I think it was the guy who got transferred out of our class who tried the hardest.
- It's a good thing we didn't keep that pervert...
- Kwa...
Tsuyu agreed with Mina's statement.
Momo, meanwhile, started to create some sort of complex device on a large area of her exposed tummy.
- What do you think she's doing?
- I'd bet on a lawnmower... at least judging by the handles already created, that's what it is. Except will she have time to create it and will it be effective?
- Are you doubting Momo?
- No, she's smart and if she had more time and chances to prepare, she definitely wouldn't lose to anyone, not even Shoto, who is supposed to be able to plunge the ring into an ice age.
- Do you think so?
At Todoroki's question, I shrugged my shoulders.
- 'I'm sure. She could create some heat cannons and heat the room. That would make it very difficult to use ice. It won't make it impossible, you can't be stopped by a little thing like that, but it'll buy her a few seconds. And there she can use the same netemet, which she will also create beforehand, or tranquilliser....
I grinned.
- In fact, Momo's quirk is the kind of quirk that, with the right knowledge and time to prepare, can be fatal even for the almighty.
- You don't screw around...
Mina waved her hand having lost interest in my words, and Momo in the meantime has already created an electric lawnmower and quickly started it.
And now the battle went more fun ...
It turned out the lawnmower is quite effective against thorns and from fleeing Momo was able to go on the offensive. However, everything was not so rosy, but now at least the fight was not a one-gate fight. Here her opponent, again using the covering of the ring as a cover, brought her thorns to Momo, but they had to get out from under the cement, as on their way was a lawnmower, and immediately after that the girl is already snapping towards Ibara.
The wall that she had erected quickly gives up under the pressure of Momo's weapon, but the opponent herself manages to get away from the wall and without using stealth attacks Momo, simply forming several thorns into spears and trying to put her on them. Momo creates a shield but doesn't throw the lawnmower away, but her opponent already changes her style and creates whips out of her thorns, which she starts to just randomly hit the terrain with.
And this tactic was more effective...
Momo started taking damage...
She had to discard the lawnmower and create a second shield and this was the decisive moment. If she had taken a risk, rushed into the attack disregarding the injuries, she would have had a chance to win. But not by deafeningly going on the defensive.
I shook my head.
- Too bad... she made a mistake.
- You what?! Our Momo will win!
- Not anymore...
I shook my head again.
- ...the probability of her winning is less than five per cent.
- You...
Mina looked at me fiercely.
- Unfortunately, Izuku is right.
- And you?!
Mina was now looking at Tsuyu dumbfounded and resentful.
- I second that...
- Shoto?
- You shouldn't have gone on the defensive...''
Katsuki was frowning, but relatively calm.
- And Katsuki?!
And as if responding to our words, one of Momo's shields moved to the side and a whip and thorns struck the gap in the defence.
Momo's shout was the answer...
From that moment it was clear to everyone that Momo would lose, and it was clear to the girl herself.
- I surrender!
As soon as that word was uttered, Ibara stopped attacking.
- The winner! Representative of Class 1-B, Ibara Shiozaki! Congratulations on making it to the semi-finals.
The deafening applause confirmed Midnight's words. And in addition to the applause, there were also shouts of praise, shouts of encouragement towards Momo, and just whistling cheers from the cheering fans.
- For the next fight, we will need to prepare the ring, and let me invite Tsuyu Asui for dialogue this time, I hope she won't mind such a thing....
Tsuyu jumped down from the podium and quickly made her way to Midnight.
- So... what are your expectations for the upcoming fight?
- I want to win.
- Do you? Or do you want to win?
- I do, and I will do everything in my power to ensure that outcome.
- What a diplomatic answer... How do you feel knowing that your next opponent is your boyfriend?
- I'm calm...
Suyu shrugged her shoulders.
- Kwa... we originally agreed not to act together, so meeting as opponents was predictable.
- So that's how it is... and you have a plan for the fight?
- Kwa...
Tsuyu nodded in agreement.
- I wonder if Izuku has a plan?
- I doubt it...
Tsuyu shrugged her shoulders.
- Is he that much less likely to take you seriously?
- Kwa...
This time, Tsuyu shook her head in a gesture of denial.
- ...He's just better at improvising. He can certainly make a plan and even stick to it, but it seems that improvising is a better result.
- Right...
