Chapter 67
After settling into his position, Akira watched as the participants of the next match made their way to the fighting ring.
This combat did not generate much suspense, either for Akira or for his companions, everyone could deduce how the match would end, after all, the contestants who were going to face each other were Aoyama with his
In everyone's mind, it was no surprise who was going to be the winner.
From one side entered Aoyama, with his peculiar personality that shouted LOOK AT ME!!, so much so that it made you look away from how embarrassing it seemed, at the other side entered Todoroki, being the opposite, since, despite his cold and indifferent attitude, he caught great attention from the public, not only for his appearance but for the background narrated by Present Mic.
Despite the hubbub generated by the description of his background, Todoroki remained silent and only acted as the match began.
Aoyama, despite his extravagant personality, had a serious face, he knew very well that his chances of winning this match were infinitely close to zero, so he started with everything.
The moment the fight began, Aoyama activated his Quirk to the maximum and with the highest possible power fired the laser toward Todoroki.
Seeing Aoyama's attack, Todoroki created an ice wall to protect himself, when the laser hit the ice wall, part of it was destroyed and a mist due to melting ice was released in the ring.
Taking advantage of this, Aoyama ran along the edge of the ring to surround the ice wall, once positioned, he saw the shadow of Todoroki who seemed to be waiting for the fog to disappear, celebrating internally, Aoyama fired his laser again, which easily hit against Todoroki.
Aoyama, who was hoping that his attack would be successful, was careless and didn't realize that his laser didn't actually hit Todoroki, as the shadow he saw was nothing more than a decoy that Todoroki had set.
Before Aoyama could react, he heard a voice behind him that made his blood run cold.
"I'm sorry Aoyama-san, but my goal is much higher, I can't lose in this match" After that, Aoyama only felt cold all over his body, as Todoroki had frozen him into ice statue, leaving only his head intact.
"Because Aoyama is unable to move, Todoroki advances to the next round" Midnight, appeared in the middle of the ring, to announce the result of the match, thus leaving only two matches remaining, before advancing to the second round of the tournament.
After clearing the stage, Midnight went upstairs again.
"What have you thought of our school festival so far? what do you think of our future heroes, are they exciting enough, or are they talented? I hope you are having fun, because we have the last two matches left, before moving on to the next round, which will be twice as exciting, without further delay our two competitors come up.
With the announcement of Midnight, Uraraka and Denki took the stage while the crowd shouted excitedly from the fights they had seen.
Each one had a serious and concentrated expression on their face, this was the opportunity to stand out in front of the professionals, especially for Uraraka who hoped to stand out so that in the future as a hero she can earn enough money to support her parents.
This was her chance, with that conviction Uraraka lowered her posture, slouching slightly, and ran in Denki's direction.
Denki focused all of his attention on Uraraka and the moment he saw her running towards him he readied his quirk, his quirk has a range of 10 meters so he could only attack when Uraraka entered that range.
Uraraka quickly shortened her distance and entered Denki's effective range, Denki knew that he couldn't miss his attacks, because after using his quirk several times his brain would be fried and he would become an idiot being disqualified, for which he waited for Uraraka got closer and just when he was sure, he fired a lightning bolt in her direction.
Seeing the flash, Uraraka didn't waste a second and took off her jacket throwing it in Denki's direction while she threw herself to the ground taking advantage of her speed boost to slide without stopping.
The beam passed over her body and her jacket managed to block Denki's vision, taking advantage of this, Uraraka approached to start close combat against him.
Denki quickly focused and dodged Uraraka's blow, he knew that at the slightest touch from her he would be sent flying, so he kept dodging without daring to collide with her.
Knowing that he couldn't keep going back forever, Denki decided to play it all or nothing, charging his quirk to its maximum and with him as the center he released a field of electric shocks.
Uraraka, noticing Denki's action, activated her quirk on herself while jumping to quickly propel herself out of the attack area.
Although her reaction was quick, Uraraka couldn't act fast enough to get away from all the electric shocks, receiving several as she retreated.
When she managed to get out of the area of the attack Uraraka deactivated her quirk and fell motionless to the ground, paralyzed due to the shocks that ran through her body.
His counterpart, Denki was still standing, the crowd seeing this applauded and shouted Denki's name, referring to him as the winner.
Before the public could continue celebrating, Aizawa, who until now had not commented on anything, spoke:
"I wouldn't celebrate so soon, after all this match it's not over yet" After Aizawa's words the audience was confused as to why, they could clearly see that Uraraka was paralyzed on the ground and Denki was still standing.
"That idiot used his quirk too much and became retarded" With the comment of Jiro who was watching the match from the stands the audience watched closely and the truth was revealed.
Even though Denki was standing up, he had a stupid expression on his face and it was obvious that he was in no condition to fight, it is the case that both of them were temporarily out of action, one could only wait for the first one to recover become a winner.
With this announcement, Uraraka who was paralyzed on the ground increased her efforts to regain control of her body.
Something not easy, since, although she did not lose consciousness, a large amount of electricity ran through her body, it was not just paralysis that she suffered, but at the slightest movement, she felt pain run through her body.
Thinking of her parents, Uraraka steeled herself and with tears in her eyes and a loud cry began to move her arms.
Though rigid, she slowly began to regain control of her body, from dragging herself with her arms to slowly getting up, each movement accompanied by pain, but above all by a strong will.
After a minute she managed to stand upright on the stage, caught her breath and step by step approached Denki who was still disabled by his quirk.
Facing him, Uraraka spoke:
"I'm sorry Denki, it was a great match and you were a fierce competitor, but I can't fail yet" Uraraka then gently pushed Denki, who without resistance fell to the ground.
"Because Denki is out of action, Uraraka advances to the next round and with this only the last match is missing and from what I heard the most anticipated" Midnight announced increasing the interest of the public for the last match of this round.
…
Akira at this time was in the dressing room waiting for his call, so he could only see the fight between Uraraka and Denki on a television that was in the dressing room.
"Are you ready Akira-kun?" Momo who had followed him to the dressing room asked.
"Are you worried about me?" Akira responded with a mocking smile.
"Hmph why would I be worried about you? It's just a friendly match, it's just that it would be embarrassing if our class representative didn't advance to the next round, even more so after the speech he made at the beginning" Momo replied with a pout.
"HAHAHAHAHA, well you're right, it would be very embarrassing, but for that to happen there should even be a chance that I would lose, which unfortunately for Kirishima there isn't" Akira replied with a confident smile.
"Hahh if you're so arrogant, you can lose, never trust, Akira-kun" Momo advised.
"Ohhh, so how about we make a bet, if I lose I'll do anything you tell me to do" Akira proposed.
"Hmmm, and what happens if you win the match?" Momo asked.
"If I win the match, then you will do whatever I want" Akira declared with a mischievous smile.
"Okay, let's bet" Momo without hesitation agreed.
"Oh, you didn't even hesitate, despite knowing that you will most likely lose, do you want to lose and do anything I ask you to do?" Akira spoke to him with a daring smile while his eyes showed a touch of desire and depravity.
Feeling his gaze Momo felt a shiver run through her body, but contrary to what she would feel if it were someone else's gaze, she did not feel revulsion towards Akira, she even felt her body heat up and turn red under the look of him.
Momo's mind couldn't help but wander to a scene of depravity and only regained focus when she felt a blow to her forehead.
"I don't know what you were dreaming, but you should wipe your saliva, hehehehe" Leaving that mocking laugh, Akira walked away towards the stage where he would have his combat.
Momo, who had just recovered, quickly wiped her mouth, only to notice that she wasn't drooling and that she had just fallen for Akira's prank again.
"Hmph, baka, who would be drooling over you, I hope you lose." Despite her words, Momo quickly returned to the stands to see Akira's battle up close and support him.
