After seeing the table of participants, the entire 1A class turned to look at Lida with blank eyes.

"You're a lucky man!" Karishima said with his usual smile.

"Lucky ass" Lena said as she stood up to leave the bleachers and head towards the preparation room.

"Go gamble in a casino" Kaminari muttered with a frown.

"STOP THAT!" Lida exclaimed as she rubbed her temple. "It was just a bit of luck... I made a fool of myself in my fight because I didn't want to hurt that girl..."

"I-it's okay Lida... a little luck never hurt anyone right?" Midoriya said comforting Lida as best he could, before noticing one thing. "Where is Katchan?"

"Bakugo..., he didn't take too well not qualifying to the final round, I tried to cheer him up but you know how he is" Karishima explained as he made a thoughtful face and looked up. "Although he seemed a bit out of it... anyway he left after your match against Shoji, most likely to the recreation area or the dining room."

"Katchan..." Midoriya muttered while worrying about his childhood friend (?).

"I think he deserves it a bit, he's really... stupid" Toru said while trying to look for the right word but failing miserably. "It's not that I don't like him you know, but I think he has a lot of ego and pride."

"Yeah, maybe lowering his pride a little bit will help him" Momo said as she shrugged her shoulders. "Can you do a little more... cooperative?"

"You don't have to fight Lena inside... right now?" Tsu said as he glared at Momo.

"R-Right!" and with that Momo shot out went from the stands at full speed.

"Relax Izuku, I'm sure she's fine!" said Uraraka trying to cheer up his friend. What no one noticed was Uraraka's slightly reddened eyes, and if anyone did they didn't mention it....

"Yeah, you're right, I have to concentrate on the competition" Midoriya said as he turned his gaze towards the quiet Todoroki who was lying down with his eyes closed, but Midoriya had the feeling that he wasn't sleeping.

 

 

"THE SEMI-FINALS ARE ALREADY IN THE MAKING! THIS TIME WE HAVE..."

"THE PHANTOM SPEEDSTER! FASTER THAN DEATH ITSELF! DON'T BLINK BECAUSE YOU'LL MISS HER! THE VICE PRESIDENT OF CLASS 1A! OXTOOON LENAAAA!"

"ON THE OTHER SIDE WE HAVE..."

"THE CREATOR OF THE WORLD ITSELF! HANDMAID OF THE HAND OF GOD! THE PRESIDENT OF CLASS 1A! YAOYOROZU MOMOOOOO!"

Both girls were already on the stone platform glaring daggers at each other.

"Faster than death eh, how accurate..." "Hey Momo! I'm going to tear you apart so give it your all!"

"You're the one who will get smashed!" Momo replied as she took a close combat fighting stance.

"We'll see about that..." Lena said quietly as she took a Taekwondo stance.

"START!"

Momo was the first to make a move creating the Bo staff and taking a defensive stance without losing track of Lena.
Without taking their eyes off each other, both girls began to slowly walk in circles with their guard up looking for an opening to attack the other.

Lena suddenly appeared instantly in front of Momo trying to punch her in the chest, but Momo managed to block it with her staff but did not take into account Lena's superior physical strength, which pushed her a few meters back.

Momo managed to keep her balance just in time to dodge a series of Lena's kicks by the skin of her teeth. Momo swung her staff to attack Lena from below but Lena jumped back a little before coming back at Momo with another kick.

But Momo created a small shield to block it.

Lena looked at that with a frown realizing that this would be a battle of attrition to see who can manage their energy better.

The two girls looked at each other again without moving.

...

..

.

Suddenly Momo ran towards Lena throwing her shield towards Lena, who dodged ducking a little but in that second she had neglected Momo's position which she took advantage of to give her a strong blow with the staff in the stomach.

"Guh!" coughed Lena without air while trying to move but the pain in her stomach didn't let her move far.

Momo took the opportunity to try to hit her in the head in an attempt to knock her unconscious.

But Lena had already disappeared from her position leaving a light blue trail.

Shit! Momo thought as she quickly turned around only to get kicked in the hip, throwing her for a few feet off the platform and dropping the staff.

"That hurt like shit Momo" Said Lena as she grabbed the cane and threw it off the platform. She didn't use the cane due to the fact that first of all she had no idea how to use one and secondly, the cane didn't go very well with her kick based moves.

"I-I could say the same thing... are you sure you only have minor super strength?" groaned Momo as she got up from the ground shaking a bit, before taking a deep breath and taking a stance "I feel like I've broken a bone or two"

"Well... it's just that your body not having any resistance (Due to not having Secondary Quirk) is basically like anyone's normal body, mine is kind of like a pretty trained body just by having my Quirk" Explained Lena as she shrugged before taking another stance this one seemed more offensive than the previous one.

"Hehe, training maniac..." Momo said with a chuckle.

"Know-it-all..." Grunted Lena at Momo's comment.

Both girls smiled at each other before approaching each other to decide the match.

Momo started with a punch to Lena's shoulder and neck but Lena dodged it by turning to the right, Lena responded with a sweep to Momo's legs but Momo jumped back to dodge the sweep.

Lena approached with a series of kicks that Momo could only defend against as she slowly moved away from the center to one of the corners. Momo could not block all the kicks and with a feint Lena managed to give her a knee in the stomach that left her without air, then she gave her a kick in the chest and another kick in the chin.

Momo went a few meters back but without leaving the stone platform.

Lena approached cautiously but Momo remained motionless. Midnight approached to see what was wrong with Momo and....

"YAOYOROZU HAS FALLEN UNCONSCIOUS!!!! THE WINNER IS OXTON LENA!!!" Midnight announced to the crowd who went crazy for the evenly matched melee of the girls.

Lena took a long breath as she relaxed. She was almost sure that Momo would create something in mid combat to stop her but in the end she just left it at pure hardcore melee.

Lena went with the unconscious Momo, who was on a stretcher pulled by robots, to the infirmary to heal all her wounds, that hit with the cane hurt too much.

 

 

"I was hoping Momo would win..." Sighed Toru with a downcast air as he gave a few yen to Kaminari who smiled with joy in his eyes.
"Come on Lena!!!" Karishima said as he received some money for the Vice President's victory.

"Pay up, pay up!" Kaminari said full of joy as he collected a few yen from his companions. He had started a bet on who would win the fight between the class representative.

"Don't you think it's wrong to bet on who will win from your classmates?!" Lida exclaimed in her typical annoyed voice and strange robotic arm movements "That's favoritism and-"

While Lida was giving his lecture on how the Heroes should behave Toru and Kyoka ran off as they headed to the preparation room.

 

 

"SECOND ROUND OF SEMIFINALS!!!"

"ON ONE SIDE WE HAVE ...! THE LOST SAINT AMONG THE LIGHT!!! HAGAKURE TORUUUU!!!"

"ON THE OTHER HAND WE HAVE...! THE ROCKER LOST AMONG THE SOUND!!! JIROOO KYOKA!!!"

Where does she get inspiration for those ridiculous names? Kyoka thought in disbelief as she shook her head. What does PresidentMic have? Chūnibyō?

While Kyoka was lost in her thoughts, Toru was concentrating 120% on Kyoka, no, SHE WAS 200% CONCENTRATED ON KYOKA.

Aim. Shoot. Win. Aim. Shoot. Win. Toru thought repeatedly with a military tone in the background and imagining herself as military... maybe she wasn't so focused....

"START!!!"

Toru without wasting any time put her hands together and started to charge her Garling at a moderate power while aiming at Kyoka.
Kyoka meanwhile just ran in a quick zigzag to get to Toru and make it difficult for him to aim.

"Here!" shouted Toru as he unloaded the Garling raining hundreds of bullets towards Kyoka.

She is seeing that she was about to be turned into Swiss cheese she quickly dove to the ground connecting her Jacks to the ground sending a strong jolt all over the proform which knocked Toru down and cancelled her Garling.

"Shit!" Said Toru as she stood up quickly... and saw Kyoka pointing her Jacks at her intently.

"Good match" Kyoka said with a deadpan face before activating her Jacks.

Toru was blown off the stage by a loud sonic blast in less than the blink of an eye.

"One recommendation Toru... you need to practice marksmanship and hand to hand combat" Kyoka said as she walked away from the platform with her hands in her pockets.

"Ugh" Toru replied dizzily from the loud sound Kyoka's Jacks.

 

 

The last match while also fast paced like the match between Toru and Kyoka, was more exciting because of Todoroki and Midoriya's impressive Quirks.

Although in the end it ended with Todoroki's victory... although he was affected by something, as if he had had a strange revelation.
