In the 1-A locker room, Mia looks at his hand excited to be having official matches against strong opponents. He looks around the locker room, keeping an eye on everyone. Teku was staying in the farthest corner from everyone. Mia sighs as Itsumi taps his shoulder.
"Hey man, are you also nervous?" Mia looks at him.
"Honestly, more exciting than anything… I made that declaration to Daiki that I would make it to the finals with him, but after seeing some more of 1-B's students… I'm not sure if I can make it that far…" Itsumi had a blank stare at Mia.
"Really… it's hard to believe you have self trust issues…" Mia is taken aback and looks at itsumi.
"I do not have self trust issues… I don't think I do at least" Mia took a deep breath as a silence filled the room.
"WHAT THE F--K DEER GIRL!!?" Mia looked over as Yosu laid on the ground and Maito stood over her. Mia had a blank expression as Maito grits his teeth.
"ANSWER ME DEER GIRL" Mia paused and gritted his teeth as the whole room became silent as seemingly no one could move. Mia stands up and walks over to Maito who is stuck standing in place. He looks at Maito with a death glare similar to that of world renowned bounty hunter Requiem. Mia lifts his hands and cracks his knuckles in front of Maito.
"You touch Yosu… you just might not make it home tonight" Mia looks around and releases Gyro and looks at the time.
"Well… it's time for the first match… wish me luck…" Mia opened the door to the locker room and walked out. Everyone in the locker room was silent, others stunned from the encounter as Maito grits his teeth and walks away from Yosu, Ryuuji helping her up.
"Welcome back, we are here starting the first match of the sports festival Tournament… our first Match is between… Class 1-A Rep. Mia Ikati'' everyone cheers as Mia walks out onto the field with a menacing glare and walks up the steps onto the match court.
"And Class 1-B's Suji Ha!" he walks up onto the court, smiles but stops when he sees Mia's expression.
"Match… BEGIN" Mia lifts his hand
"Hey, do you mind if I use you for a bit of experimentation?" Mia clenches his fist and it starts glowing orange and smoking as it catches in blue flame. Suji is getting a bit nervous.
"What… exactly will you be experimenting?" Mia smiles and gets in a firm stance as more flames radiate from his fist.
"I wanna try out a new move I just learned" Mia pounced forward at the student who couldn't react in time and got hit in the face by Mia's punch. The student slides back but manages to stop before going out of bounds. Mia shakes his hands releasing the flames.
"Huh… feels like it packs the same punch…. Feels different… probably cause im not used to it yet" Suji turns his hand into a sharp blade and goes to attack Mia with a barrage of attacks.
"You won't get me that easy, Mr. Blade man" Suji stops his onslaught of attacks.
"Why did you call me Mr. Blade man?" Mia appears behind him. Mia's fist was burning a bright blue as his eyes sparked and he smiled.
"To distract you" Mia punches Suji full force instantly knocking him out of the ring. Mia lands softly on the ground and blows out the flames on his fist. Everyone in the crowd starts chanting out Mia's name.
"And there we have it, Mia Ikati moves onto the next round, Suji Ha has been eliminated from the tournament… Mia earns 3,000 points" Mia smiles and walks off the stage clenching his fist. He walks up into the bleachers and sits down beside Yosu. Yosu looks at Mia.
"That was a really good match Mia… you said something about trying something new during it though… what did you mean?" Mia looks at the arena and takes a deep breath.
"Up until just recently I had only been creating flames, but recently I learned that I could heat my body's internal temperature to get more precise and more hot flames…" Yosu's eyes sparkle.
"I didn't know that was even possible" Mia smiles as the T.V's start again.
"Our next Matchup is Maito Akido! From class 1-A" Maito takes a few steps onto the arena with no emotion.
"On the opposing team is Sukurichi Haruta!" the crowd cheers then quiets down.
"How come you got a cheer and I didn't you Idiot!?" the other student shrugs.
"Match, Begin!"
