Chapter 21: Hard Frogs
Iida took a breath as he headed to the box and decided to call his brother. After all his brother was the one he looked up to most and wanted to talk to him about his match.
However he had gotten voice mail telling him that mentioned he was on duty.
He sighed and joined his classmates.
"Hey…" said Izuku unsure what to say.
Iida just nodded as he took his seat.
"Kirishima's fight is next isn't it?" asked Tenya.
"It is." Said Ochaco.
"Then it's Kacchan's." said Izuku.
"oh yeah didn't you five train together?" asked Kaminari.
"You know what they did." Pointed out Kyoka with a sweat drop.
"Yeah… we did." Said Izuku, "But not every day…"
"You think you'll give each fair fights?" asked Tsuyu.
Everyone stared at Tsuyu.
"I'm pretty sure if Bakugo and Midoriya end up in the finals they won't hold back at all." Said Sero.
"I almost forgot about that…" admitted Tsuyu.
Izuku just sweat dropped at that.
"Shouldn't you be getting ready for you match?" asked Ochaco with a sweat drop.
"I think it will be fine." Said Tsuyu.
No one said anything after that realizing she knew she was going to have a hard time with Katsuki.
And soon enough the next match got started.
The two competitors made it to the stage.
"All right! We have the rock hard master vs. the creation mistress!" called out Present Mic.
"As a reminder, all of the remaining students are in class 1-A." said Aizawa.
The two looked at each other. Both ready for their fight. But there was something that had to be said first.
"Don't worry I won't be as vicious as with my fight with Mineta." Said Momo.
"I figured." Said Kirishima with a shrug, "I mean what he did was really unmanly…"
Momo nodded.
"All right and begin!" yelled Present Mic.
Kirishima immediately hardened his skin while Momo created a shield and a staff to fight him off with.
The two started to exchange blows.
It seemed to be evenly matched.
And in the box Izuku noticed this as well.
"Deku what's wrong?" asked Ochaco.
"I wonder if this is a good idea." Said Izuku.
"What do you mean?" asked Iida.
"We don't know if she'll be able to outlast Kirishima." Said Izuku.
"Her fight earlier was much different." Agreed Iida./
"Yeh.. but that was mostly about getting revenge." Said Ochaco.
Almost on cue, Mi eta said "Hey buddy…you know you're a really great friend…" to Kaminari.
"Uh MI doyra… how long is he going to be like this?" asked Kaminari.
"I don't know… I'm sorry…" said Izuku.
"What seriously…" said Kaminari.
"I've never met someone who took too much calming drought, sorry." Said Izuku.
"Is that even a normal problem?" asked Kaminari.
"Not really, one dose usually works fine unless whatever happened was really bad." said Izuku.
"Even if it was brought on himself." Muttered Kyoka.
"Yeah…" agreed Tsuyu.
"But still…" said Izuku getting back on topic with his friends, "I don't know if trying to match him is a good idea."
Back on the battlefield the two were trying to match each other.
Momo's shield was well made while Kirishima's hardened skin was doing it's job.
However there was one advantage that Kirishima did have over Momo even with her weapons.
It was something Momo didn't even notice while she was fighting him, but Kirishima sure noticed.
But neither said anything during the fight.
The fight went on like this for a few minutes. Then Momo noticed that Kirishima stopped his attacks.
"Sorry…" he said.
"What?" asked Momo.
"Yaoyorozu is out of bounds! Kirishima is the winner." Called out Midnight.
"How…" said Momo.
"Sorry I get what you were doing but I'm stronger than you…" said Kirishima, "I was able to slowly push you out."
Momo looked down at the ground.
"Hey! If you tried someone like you handled Mineta I'm sure you could have beat me." Said Kirishima.
"Yeah…" sighed Momo.
"Oh no I think I said the wrong thing…" thought Kirishima with a sweat drop.
The class box, Tsuyu sighed and headed to her match.
The three strongest students in class were obviously Todoroki, Izuku and of course Katsuki.
This was not going to be an easy match at all.
Soon enough the two competitors were ready for a fight.
"All right! It's the living explosive VS the adorable frog girl! Now time to see who will be the last person to make it to the semifinals!" yelled Present Mic.
On the battle field the two of them looked at each other.
Tsuyu had a plan but she was sure if it was going to work.
Beside that plan she knew she had to be careful as one of her problems would be caused by his explosions.
"And begin!" yelled Present Mic.
Tsuyu began her plan and began to create her mucus.
However Katsuki ran over to her.
"I don't care what you have planned! But it won't work!" yelled Katsuki.
"Sorry about this!" said Tsuyu.
That she flung the mucus right in his eyes.
He screamed in pain.
"Mother fucker!" yelled Katsuki, "What the fuck is that!"
In Class 1-A's box they saw this.
"What did she do?" asked Ochaco.
"She can create a toxic mucus that stings." Said Izuku, "She told me back at the USJ."
"It appears that it hit him right in the eye." Iida.
Izuku nodded.
"So will that work." Said Ochaco.
"No it will make him angry." Said Izuku.
"But he's always angry…" said Kaminari.
"Well more angry than usual." Said Izuku with a sweat drop.
On the battlefield, Katsuki's eyes stilled burned. But at least he could still see.
"That was fucked up!" yelled Katsuki.
"I think that was a bad idea…" said Tsuyu with a sweat drop.
"Gee you think!" yelled Katsuki.
He ran towards her firing explosions left and right, but Tsuyu kept dodging.
However she noticed at it was went on his explosions seem to get bigger and bigger.
What as worse was that she was drying out.
Sure she was still human but she still had the same weaknesses of a frog.
Honestly the only fight that would be worse would be a fight with Todoroki.
"No one will fucking think less of you if you give up because of the fucking fact you are drying out!" yelled Katsuki.
"What?" asked Tsuyu.
"You didn't think I didn't think that was a weakness you might have." Muttered Katsuki, "You're one of the more obvious people in class what your quirk is…"
Tsuyu didn't say anything with that.
"Fine then…" muttered Katsuki.
That was when he let loose a very large explosion. Tsuyu was launched into the air and fell to the ground in a crumpled heap.
Midnight looked at Tsuyu.
"Asui is unable to battle! Bakugo goes on the next round!" called out Midnight.
The crowd had a mixed reaction.
Some of them cheered, however others were unsure how to react.
In her spot Tsubasa shrugged.
"She threw something into his eyes." She said loud enough so that other people could hear her, "The guy's clearly a hothead, and whatever what he got in his eyes must have hurt…"
"Well she goes a point." Said someone e else in the crowd.
In the Class 1-A box. Izuku took a breath as he left.
"You're up against Todoroki." Said Ochaco.
"Yeah… a little nervous." Said Izuku.
"It all right." Said Iida.
Izuku sighed and Ochaco and Iida realized what the sigh meant.
They looked at each other.
"Do what you feel was right." Said Iida.
"It's fine! Some things are more important." Said Ochaco.
Izuku smiled at his friends as he left.
The plan for the fight wasn't going to just about winning… but something else.
But of course things were going to be far more complicated with the fight.
After all… what was going on with Todoroki was far more complicated than just a sports festival.
