To those of you that favorited, reviewed and/or followed: Thank you very much!

So, it's been a while huh... I don't want to go into a long ass explanation, but it basically boils down to; Work, other RL obligations, depression, being an essential worker during COVID, depression getting worse and then going to the hospital. It's been a rough couple of years lol

I hope you enjoy the story! Follow, favorite, review and all that stuff.

I made a teensy tiny adjustment to the tournament bracket, although the change was made a day after the chapter was posted, so most of you can probably just ignore this... I'm sleepy... and I think it rubbed off on Himiko this chapter. cx

Chapter 20: Tournament

Tour·na·ment (to͝ornəmənt): (in a sport or game) a series of contests between a number of competitors, who compete for an overall prize.


I awoke to someone gripping my shoulders and shaking me, along with a repetitive chant of 'Wake up, Himiko-chan!' and other similar variants. My eyes fluttered for a few moments, while I was somewhere between the dregs of sleep and being half awake, until the pain from my right shoulder reminded me that letting my 'assailant' continue with their attempts at waking me probably wouldn't be for the best. With that decided, I raised my left arm to grip the hand that was on my injured shoulder.

"-'m 'wake." I mumbled in annoyance, trying to get my eyelids to stay open long enough to send a suffering glare at the green blob hovering above me.

I slowly pried the hands of my shoulders as my eyes began to focus in on the figure above me, who had been staring at me intently as I went through the process of waking up.

Ah, it's Izuku-chan.

I propped myself up on my elbows into a half-seated position from where I had been laying down, which had been a few chairs I had pushed together in our class's waiting room.

"G'morning, Izuku-chan. So, what's up, why did you wake me? Is it my match already?" I began questioning before the silence dragged on too long.

Ahhhh, I really hope it isn't. I just want to go back to sleep for like... ever.

He nodded vigorously while humming in agreement instead of giving me a verbal response, apparently still distracted by whatever had him zoning out in the first place. I brought up a hand and began slowly waving it in front of his face before he caught it, attention finally snapping back from wherever it had been.

"Welcome back." I greeted with an amused smile.

"Huh?" Was all he gave me in response, and I could only giggle at how out of it he seemed to be.

"You were totally spacing out, Izuku-chan~!" I cheerfully informed him as I pushed myself the rest of the way up into a seated position.

"Eh? Was I?" Izuku chuckled to himself awkwardly while rubbing the back of his head with one hand.

"Anyways!" I exclaimed, staring at him intently.

"Anyways...?" He repeated looking somewhat bemused.

"Anyways!" I reiterated as I jumped off the chair onto my feet, landing directly in front of him, jabbing my left pointer finger into his cheek. "Let's get going since you said my match is next, ne?"

"Ah, right." He nodded enthusiastically before grabbing the wrist of the hand that was poking him and dragging me out the door with him.

Welp, time to get this over with... so sleepy...


We arrived at our class's seating area where Izuku quickly directed me into a seat. Belatedly, I realized there was a giant ice structure in the middle of the stadium, reaching all the way past the roof.

How did I not even notice that? Though I suppose it explains why Izuku dragged me up here instead of straight to the stage... It's going to take them a while to prep again for the next match.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I was poked on my left shoulder repeatedly, the culprit jabbing their finger into me harder each time. I slowly turned my head to see Ochaco grinning widely at me.

"Hey, Himi-chan!" She greeted me excitedly.

"...G'mornin', Chaco-chan..." I sleepily returned. Glancing to my right I saw that Izuku had sat down next to me, before my attention was forcefully pulled back to Ochaco by her hand wrapping around my chin.

"I'm gonna explain what you missed while we're waiting! 'Kay?" She informed me after dropping my chin, to which I just nodded dumbly. She shot me another grin before quickly launching excitedly into her recap of the matches I slept through.

"So, the first match was Deku-kun versus Toru-chan! The ending was totally unexpected too! I never imagined something like that would happen. Although it was probably just a matter of time considering Toru-chan's 'attire'..."

I felt a small chill run up my spine as she said that and slowly, ever so slowly, glanced over my shoulder to see Izuku shaking his head and waving his arms back and forth wildly. He immediately caught my gaze and cringed ever so slightly. Keeping my eyes on him as I held a completely flat expression, I turned back to face Ochaco.

"Go on, Chaco-chan. You have me on the edge of my seat." I urged her to continue, keeping my voice even.

I swear, if it's what I think it is...

"Well, they started with martial arts and were all like 'whoosh!' and 'wham!', until Deku-kun went in for a grapple move on Toru-chan! And then... well, Toru-chan ran from the stage screaming like 'KYAAAAAAAA!', disqualifying herself, after Deku-kun groped her... Hahahaha..." Ochaco laughed awkwardly at the end, glancing from side to side with a slight blush on her cheeks, sounding embarrassed at having even witnessed it.

I'm almost starting to think Izuku is one of those legendary beings... A 'Lucky Pervert'. He groped me a few times too! Who knows how many other girls he's copped a feel of! And those times he groped me totally weren't my fault. I'll ignore anyone who says otherwise.

Without looking away from Ochaco, I moved my right hand onto Izuku's thigh before pinching him. Hard. With my nails. Earning me a loud squeak followed by a stream of 'ow's from Izuku.

I smiled widely and closed my eyes.

"And then what happened in the next match, Chaco-chan?" I questioned, moving the conversation along, since Ochaco had seemed content to just stare at me strangely while I continued keeping my fingernails pinched on Izuku's thigh.

"A-ah, right. The next one ended very unexpectedly too! It was Bakugo-kun versus Shinso-kun, the student from the general course, you know the one?" I nodded to her question, motioning with my free hand for her to proceed.

"Shinso-kun didn't even move the whole time! He just taunted Bakugo-kun, who tried to charge at him almost immediately. What happened next though was stunning! Bakugo-kun stopped mid-yell before turning to the side and charging out of bounds after Shinso-kun ordered him to!" She pumped her fist passionately while she explained, bouncing in her seat rapidly in excitement.

Shinso...? Ah, the brainwashing kid. That makes sense then.

I nodded to myself sagely, both to her explanation and my own thoughts.

"That went perfectly then! Explosion boy really needs his temper and ego checked." I stated while she watched for my reaction to her explanation.

"What was that bitch?!" I heard Bakugo yell from somewhere to my left and above me. Luckily it seemed like someone was restraining him, so I ignored him completely.

"So! Next match! Next match, Chaco-chan!" I eagerly urged her as I could feel the last bits of sleep addling my mind drift away.

"Hai! Himi-chan!" She was still bouncing in her seat and had clasped my left hand between both of hers, dragging it along in the momentum of her bounces.

"The next match was mine! It was awesome! Me versus Kaminari-kun! He was all like 'biri biri!' and I threw my jacket at him with my Quirk and then ducked under while he attacked! It was so awesome! His attack singed my jacket a little bit, but I was under it and then pushed him with both my hands, using my Quirk on him, and he was all like 'whoosh!' when he floated out of bounds spinning head over heels!"

I watched bemusedly as Ochaco animatedly explained, motioning wildly with her hands and making sound effects to describe her fight, almost hitting me while she flung her fists around. I nodded along as she continued to animate her fight until she eventually realized that she had stopped explaining and was just swinging her arms around while making sound effects. As soon as she realized she gaped slightly while blushing before stuttering, causing me to let out a small giggle at her antics.

"M-moving on!" She continued, her face still glowing bright red. "The next match was Todoroki-kun against Kirishima-kun! The result is... well..." She gestured mildly towards the giant ice formation that the teachers were working on removing.

"I... see. A short match then, I suppose?" She nodded vigorously to my question, paling slightly as she likely remembered the extremely one-sided fight resulting in the freezing of Eijiro.

"And with that, you're all caught up Himi-chan! And then it'll be your fight next once they get the stage fixed up!" She beamed while pumping her fist in the air in front of her, to which I lazily smiled in response.

"So... I can go back to sleep then right?" I attempted, only to be shot down by the slightly horrified look on Ochaco's face.

"You can't! You need to be in tip top shape and ready to go for your fight, Himi-chan!" She shook her head in exasperation at me before staring me down.

"Ehehe... Well, it was worth a try, anyways."

After Ochaco's excitement died down, conversation moved to lighter topics, along with some of our other classmates joining in.

Soon enough, it would be my turn down there. Might as well relax while I can.


I stood on one side of the stage, going through a few stretches while Present Mic riled up the crowd for our match.

"Offense and defense in one body! The dark samurai accompanied by Dark Shadow! From the hero course, it's Fumikage Tokoyami! Versus—" Present Mic paused for dramatic effect. "Unknown?! She made it through the entrance exams without any overt showing of her quirk and continues that trend to this day! From the hero course, it's Yagi Himiko!"

Across from me, Tokoyami stood stoically, arms crossed over his chest as he stared straight ahead, seemingly ignoring Present Mic's introductions. Not that I wasn't doing the same, continuing with my stretches throughout his intro's.

"Fifth match, start!"

That announcement made me cut short my stretches, and I lowered myself into a runner's stance so I could get a good burst of speed on Tokoyami's first move. As soon as I saw him change his stance, with Dark Shadow just beginning to form out of his gut, I pushed myself forward as hard as I could, giving myself a large initial burst of speed.

I charged straight at the now formed Dark Shadow, its claws outstretched towards me, and dove under it at the last possible second. I kept as much momentum as I could by somersaulting back into a sprint, closing in on Tokoyami while Dark Shadow had to circle around from overshooting me.

Tokoyami pulled up his arms in a block when he realized he couldn't get out of my range fast enough. I kept myself as low to the ground as I could throughout my sprint, so when I reached him, I immediately pushed myself up with my fist leading the way for a devastating uppercut. All my momentum went into the strike, easily breaking through his block and catching his chin, sending him flying back towards the edge of the stage.

I saw Dark Shadow being pulled along as he flew backwards and I started rushing after him, hoping to catch him off guard when he landed. Tokoyami landed on his back a few moments later and begins scrambling to get to his feet, Dark Shadow moving to cover him while he attempts to recover his footing.

I kept my pace, not changing course to avoid Dark Shadow, and just before I reached it, I jumped up into a front flip, bringing an axe kick down on it. It attempted to block, only to have its claws glance off my ankle weight, allowing my kick to drive it straight into the ground.

I jumped from its head, pushing forward to Tokoyami, who had just made it back to his feet. He lashed out at me with a fist, and I caught it before pulling him into a classic judo throw, knocking the wind out of him as his back slammed down onto the ground. Without letting go of his arm, I glanced around for the nearest edge of the stage.

Spotting it just a few feet away, I decided that it was as good a time as any to channel my inner Mario and begun to spin him around me in circles. A few rotations later and Tokoyami tried to escape by having his Dark Shadow claw at my arms, which only resulted in my letting him go without aiming. Luckily, or maybe unluckily in his case, this ended up sending him flying out of the stage about a dozen feet to the right of where I was aiming, which caused him to nearly hit Midnight.

Huh. Well, that was convenient.

"Tokoyami-kun! Out of bounds!" Midnight called out. "Yagi-san advances to the second round!"

I tuned the cheering and further announcements out, as I felt I had done my part and was ready to get back in the stands. With a quick, overexaggerated bow, I turned on my heel and jogged my way off the stage and back into the surrounding arena.

Now, let's go steal Izuku-chan!


After the adrenaline rush from my fight wore off, I could feel a burning sensation running along the length of my back, and after a quick pat on my back, my hand came back with blood on it. As well as bringing into view claw marks on my forearms.

Huh. Well. Just another reason to continue my quest to steal Izu—

Before I could finish that thought, a green blur sped into me just as I came around a corner, knocking me over and directly onto my back. I let out a hiss of pain and grimaced, scrunching my eyes shut and letting out a groan as the weight of the green blur lifted off me.

"Himiko-chan!" Izuku shouted worriedly.

"Ow..."

Izuku quickly pulled himself the rest of the way off me, grabbing the wrist of my left arm to drag me upright with him before he started fretting over the scratches on my forearms. While he was busy fretting over those, I did a quick mental check over what hurt and what didn't, though it seemed I'd noticed pretty much all of it before I had been tackled by the Izuku-torpedo. Though I couldn't see the extent of damage on my back it sure as hell stung, prompting me to try and look down over my shoulder.

Just a little... ahhh, nope. No luck.

"Izuku-chan~."

"H-hai?! Himiko-chan!"

He seemed to snap out of his fretting only to forget I'd called to him for his attention, judging by the way his grip on my wrist tightened and he began walking down the hallway.

"We should really get you to the nurse's office now to get those scratches on your forearms wrapped up, Himiko-chan."

"Ah, sure, but before that-" I planted my feet to stop him from walking. "Can you tell me how my back looks?"

I pried his hand off and took my jacket off as I turned around so he could look and almost immediately heard Izuku give a sharp intake of his breath.

Ah, must look worse than it feels then.

"Also, our waiting room has bandages in it, and it's closer so why don't we go there, and you can wrap me up before our next matches. Mmkay, Izuku-chan?"

Izuku still hadn't responded after a minute so I turned back around to face him, only to see him frowning at my torso, his brows furrowed while he seemed a bit... annoyed?

"Oi~, Izuku-chan~!"

Izuku shook his head, muttering something about "How did she not even notice until now?", which made me giggle lightly to myself, seeing as how a few scratches were nothing compared to the beatdowns All Might had put me through during our training. He walked back past me in the direction we came from, not letting go of my wrist of course, dragging me along with him as we walked back towards our class' waiting room.

As soon as we arrived Izuku sat me down on a chair, which I placed my jacket on the back of, and proceeded to stare at the lockers as if they had all the answers in the universe.

Is... is he trying to figure out where the bandages are...? Why doesn't he just ask?

"Izuku-chan!" I raised my voice a little as I called out to him and he immediately snapped his attention to me. "The bandages are in my locker, right over there."

I pointed at the locker I had dropped my stuff off in when I had arrived this morning, and he quickly dug through my bags pulling out a few rolls of bandages along with a spray bottle of disinfectant a couple moments later. Quickly discarding my jacket, I held out my arms for him to start disinfecting and wrapping bandages over the scratches on my forearms. Scrunching my eyes closed at the sting when he sprayed my arms I patiently waited while he wrapped the scratches.

"Umm, Izuku-chan, could you turn around please?"

"E-eh? Why?"

"I need to take off my tank top so you can bandage and disinfect my back properly y'know. Unless... could it be that Izuku-chan wants to watch me undress for him?!"

I gave him a sly smile as I watched Izuku promptly turn into a tomato before he slammed his palms over his eyes and spun around to face away from me.

Hehe. You make it too easy, Izuku~.

I quickly stripped off my top, tossing it aside as I swiped a roll of bandages off the table unraveling it just enough to cover the important bits so that Izuku still had full access to my back. Making sure the bandage was secure in my hands and covered what I needed it to, I turned on my chair so that my back faced Izuku.

"Izuku-chan, you can turn back around now."

"H-Himiko-chan?!"

"Hurry up and disinfect it already so we can finish wrapping my torso and go back to the stands~!"

After a little prompting Izuku started disinfecting my back, making me wince slightly from the stinging sensation. Although I could practically feel the blush still on his face. When I felt him finish up with that, I silently passed back the roll of bandage connected to the small amount of it I had used to cover my breasts for him to wrap around the rest of my torso.

We quickly made a chain of passing it back and for the between us where he wrapped it across my back before passing it back to me so I could wrap it around my front. Rinse and repeat. Rather, it was until Izuku's special ability that makes him one of those legendary beings activated and he fell forward pressing his chest to my back (Which still stings by the way!) whilehis arms slipped under my armpits and somehow ended up each grabbing a handful of my breasts.

"H-Hyaaaaaaa~!"

I freaked out and let my instincts take over, immediately changing the position of his arms so I could throw him over my shoulder, slamming him down onto the ground.

"U-Ughhh~. G-gomen... Himiko-chan..."

"Ah... un, sorry Izuku-chan..."


One awkward walk back later, after I redressed myself of course, we found ourselves sitting in the stands again. Although I could still see a furious blush on Izuku's face out of the corner of my eye. Come to think of it my face still felt hot too.

I was shaken out of my thoughts by Ochaco, who had wrapped her arm around me and grabbed onto my right shoulder. She began roughly shaking my injured shoulder and pulling me closer to her so she could excitedly yell into my ear.

"Himi-chan! Himi-chan, are you paying attention yet? I want to recap the matches you missed!"

"Y-yeah, I'm listening Chaco-chan, so you can stop shaking me now. Please."

I cringed slightly and gently rolled my shoulder when she let go, only to get another stab of pain for doing so.

Ugh. Remind me to never let myself get stabbed again, me.

"You only missed two matches while you were gone, the first one was Momo-chan and Iida-kun! Iida-kun rushed her right from the beginning and kept Momo-chan on the defense for a bit and they were going all wham! And bam! And whoosh! It was great! But eventually Momo-chan was pushed out of bounds since she was unable to counterattack properly... And she didn't realize and almost kept fighting too!"

I nodded along, vaguely remembering something similar for her original fight during the tournament, before motioning with my left hand for her to continue.

"And next was Mei-chan! She's from the support course! She went up against Mina-chan and while it wasn't really much of a fight, Mei-chan still made it exciting before she disqualified herself! At the start she asked Mina-chan if she wanted to borrow some equipment, but Mina-chan refused... Mei-chan just shrugged it off and started showcasing her merchandise anyways! She was flying and it was like swish! And whoosh! And, and, it was just amazing!"

"It sure sounds amazing Chaco-chan." I gave her an indulgent smile and a pat on the head. "So, who's up next?"

"Next up is Sero-kun against Aoyama-kun, Oh! Hey, hey, look! There they are!"

Ochaco started bouncing in her seat excitedly and waving her pointing hand in their general direction, glancing at me one last time before watching them with her full attention. I watched them with a flat expression my full attention on Yuga, completely tuning out the introductions and only splitting my attention between them when I heard the yell of "Eighth match, start!" from Present Mic.

Almost immediately, Sero shot out some of his tape, only for it to be destroyed just as quickly from a short burst of Yuga's navel laser. Yuga quickly shot out another burst at Sero, knocking him onto his back and from the look of it, disorienting him. With pinpoint accuracy Yuga sent a blast at Sero once more, although this time Sero shot his tape completely off to the side, pulling him out of the way. Only to be hit by another blast from Yuga as soon as he arrived. This pattern continued with Yuga either predicting the path of Sero's trajectory or destroying his tape before it can do anything until Sero ended up out of bounds.

Honestly it was a very one-sided fight, and I wasn't too sure how to feel about it.


Soon enough they were back in the stands with us and Present Mic was announcing the second-round matches of the tournament, starting with Izuku against the brainwash kid.

Uhhh. Shinso...? Yeah. That sounds right.

After Present Mic announced the bracket, there was a wait of a couple minutes for the contestants to get down from the stands into their positions.

"The first match of the second round of the finals tournament. From the hero course, it's Midoriya Izuku! Versus—From general studies, it's Shinso Hitoshi!"

While Present Mic introduced them, I could see Shinso talking to Izuku, likely beginning his rants.

"Ready~? ...Start!"

Even from up in the stands I could see the change in Izuku's expression as he pressed forward, having been pissed off by Shinso... Only to stop in his tracks a moment later when he responded.

Ah... Right, I forgot about that... even though I've been calling him brainwash kid.

I slammed my palm into my face for forgetting to give Izuku any warning. Just as I see his expression go slack, I can hear one of our classmates yell out, only for it to be drowned out by Present Mic.

"Hey, hey, what's the matter? It's the important first match of the second round! Liven things up!"

From beside me Ochaco stands up with a quiet mutter of "Deku-kun", alongside Tenya who was behind us asking what was going on. As for myself, well...

"Ganbare~! You can do it Izuku-chan~! Break out of his Quirk~!"

I jumped out of my seat onto the railings to start cheering him on. I yelled and shouted my cheers all throughout Present Mic's commentating, completely tuning him out and focusing on giving Izuku the best cheers I could. Even when Izuku turned around and began walking out of bounds on Shinso's orders, I kept my cheering going. I noticed out of the corner of my eyes that Ochaco, Itsuka, Tenya and a few other students had come up beside me to cheer for Izuku along with me.

Just as Izuku came to the edge of the stage, I spotted All Might just inside the tunnel on Izuku's side, clutching at the wall. And not even a moment later All Might's eye began to glow yellow and a dark mist seemed to form over him with more dark figures with glowing eyes appearing behind him. My cheers had stopped already and all I could let out was a quiet "Huh?" at what I was seeing.

Wasn't this supposed to be a vision Izuku sees as the successor to All Might's power? Am I just seeing things because I know he's having it? Or is it something else?

I shook my head vigorously, glancing to my sides as I did so, confirming that the rest of my classmates hadn't seen anything strange. I aimed my gaze back towards the tunnel, but everything looked back to normal. I shrugged it off as something to ask later, my attention being drawn back to Izuku as he broke free from Shinso's brainwashing.

The crowd went wild after seeing Izuku break free, not to mention the shockwave it caused.

I'm getting shivers! And these are definitely the good kind.

Izuku quickly came back to himself, covering his mouth so he didn't instinctively reply to anything Shinso said. I watched and resumed my cheering as Izuku proceeded to rush Shinso, pushing him towards the edge of the stage and throwing him over his shoulder and out of bounds when Shinso tried to fight back.

I smiled widely at Izuku's victory, quickly hopping back off the railing and making my way out of the stands towards the nurse's office to congratulate him.

Well. More like tackle him to the ground. But, same difference, right?


I arrived at the temporary nurse's office a few minutes later, bursting my way inside just in time to see Chiyo slam her fist into All Might's stomach, right on top of his injury.

Ouch. That had to hurt.

"Uh... bad time?" I asked, glancing at Izuku before letting my gaze settle back on All Might.

A moment of awkward silence later I shrugged my left shoulder before I stopped staring at All Might rubbing his side in favor of tackle hugging Izuku onto the ground.

"H-Himiko-chan...! H-heavy..."

"Oi! Who are you calling heavy!"

"W-weights... Himiko...-chan..."

"Oops."

I quickly jumped up from Izuku, who immediately sat up and tried to catch his breath with one hand to his chest.

"A-anyways!" I stated, trying to move on from my accident and back on to my purpose for being here. "Good job, Izuku-chan~!"

"Thanks, Himiko-chan..." Izuku replied dryly.

Definitely another moment where he would be sweat dropping if he could. Ehehe.

"Ah, oh yeah, All Might." Izuku continued a moment later, likely remembering whatever he was going to say before I ran into the room and tackled him. "I had a vision..."

All Might made a sound of curiosity in response as he stopped rubbing his side, glancing up to look at Izuku.

"There were eight or nine people... I'm not sure exactly how many... But when it felt like my mind was filled with fog from the brainwashing, the vision appeared, as if to drive away the fog. It was like I was barely able to move just my fingertips for a moment... There was someone with eyes like you, too, All Might. Was it... the people who had inherited One For All who did it?"

Izuku and I looked towards All Might just to see him shaking and sweating in... fear?

"Scary... What the heck?"

"What? I thought you'd know about it!"

"I saw it too~!" I hummed, inserting myself into the conversation.

Both All Might and Izuku snapped their heads to me with a synchronized shout of, "EH?!", before All Might softly cleared his throat and turned slightly to face me, bringing a hand up over his mouth in a thinking pose.

"How... That shouldn't be..." He began mumbling to himself before shaking his head and turning back to Izuku, temporarily ignoring the implications of my statement.

"No, I also saw it before, in my younger days." All Might stated, leaning back against the desk just behind him while crossing his arms over his chest. "It's a clear sign that you've got a better grasp on One For All."

"What does that mean?"

Indeed, what does that mean Izuku... If I'm also seeing the previous holders of One For All...

"I think it's like a trace of something they left behind in One For All." All Might continued, "It's not something with intent that can interfere with you, in other words, that vision isn't what got rid of the brainwashing. It was that when you saw the vision, your strong emotions allowed you to overcome Young Shinso's Brainwashing for just long enough to move your fingertips, I think."

"That explanation's not satisfying at all, though..." Izuku whispered, turning his head away from All Might and Chiyo as he ran his fingers through his hair.

No fair! I want to run my fingers through your hair too Izuku~~.

"So, uh, what does this mean for me, Shishou-chan?"

"Don't get too hung up about it!"

All Might pointed finger guns at both Izuku and myself, and I couldn't help but agree with Izuku's statement.

That really isn't satisfying. Are we really ignoring the fact that I experienced something that should only happen to the holder of One For All? I mean if I can experience this part of it, who's to say I won't start experiencing other facets of One For All's power. And more importantly how did this even happen in the first place?

"More importantly, don't you both need to go see who you'll fight next?"

And with that question, All Might grabbed both of our shoulders, my left and Izuku's right, and shoved us out the door before quickly slamming it closed. I glanced at Izuku out of the corner of my eye and took note of his dumbfounded expression.

Me too, Izuku, me too.

"Eh? Did Shishou-chan seriously just kick us out?"

Izuku gasped as he took in what All Might said before grabbing my hand and shouting a thank you back down the hall at All Might and Chiyo as he started dragging me away.


The two of us arrived back at the stands just in time to see ice raining down on the stage, causing clouds of dust to cover up whoever was fighting. Walking up to our seats I notice the lack of Ochaco, meaning she must be the one fighting right now, having just used her Meteor Shower technique. And she used it with ice... That means she's up against... I glanced down toward the stage once again just in time to see the dust clear around Todoroki, who looked fine under a small shelter of ice, if not a little bit bruised up.

"This..."

"Hey, Himi-chan!"

I turned towards Itsuka's voice to see her face twisted in a strained grin as she spoke to me. I hummed in response, letting her know I heard her.

"You're up next, so you should go get ready."

"Un, thanks, Suka-chan."

I turned and started walking up the steps to leave stands as she called out a, "No problem!", from behind me. Just as I reached the top step, I heard the announcement that made me grit my teeth, even if I knew it was coming.

Because even if I know the outcome, seeing one of my close friends get beaten, It's... frustrating. Especially with how broken up about it she'll be.

I went straight down towards the stage, skipping the waiting room for wrapping my hands, as I didn't want to see Ochaco cry. Because seeing her cry would've made me cry and then it just would have spiraled from there, mostly likely ending up with the two of us bawling our eyes out and curled up on the floor.

Which I can't afford right now, what with my promise to All Might that I have to keep.


"From the hero course, it's Iida Tenya! Versus— Also from the hero course, Yagi Himiko!"

"Gomen, Iida-chan. I'm a little... frustrated, right now. So, forgive me for not being gentle. Mkay?"

"Start!"

Almost immediately he sped towards me, a determined expression plastered on his face.

Right... He wanted to win for his brother didn't he...

I scowled lightly when my injured shoulder ached in pain after sidestepping his charge and clotheslining him, only for him to move slightly out of the way, which resulted in my fist slamming into his shoulder at full force. Tenya's momentum carried him forward a few feet as he spun before he slammed down onto his back and let out a grunt of pain. I twisted my body around to face him once more as he quickly popped back up to his feet, taking a stance once again.

I didn't wait for him to charge me again and sprinted forward towards him, covering the short distance in only a moment before I feinted a hook with my right hand, Tenya quickly trying to grab my wrist before it reached him. I followed through with the momentum, pulling out of his grip and spinning my body around and bringing my left leg up to hook around the back of his neck before I slammed him face first into the ground.

He let out another groan and I quickly mounted his back, pulling his arms onto his back before I sat on them to hold them in place. I wrapped my arms around his neck in a choke hold immediately pulling my hold tight.

"Are you gonna give up, Iida-chan?"

He didn't respond.

Eh? Am I squeezing too hard?

I slightly loosened my grip and leaned around to look at his face and could see the whites of his eyes.

Oops? Teheporo.

I glanced towards Midnight, calling out to her, "Oi~! He's unconscious, Midnight-sensei!", getting a nod of confirmation back from her.

"Iida-kun's out of commission. Yagi-san advances to the third round!"

I glanced up towards where our class sat in the stands, sending them a peace sign as I smiled in their direction. I maneuvered Tenya into a bridal carry as I stood before rushing out of the stadium yelling a quick, "See ya!" over my shoulder, making my way towards the nurse's office.


I didn't stick around after I dropped off Tenya, heading back to the stands almost straight after I left him in the care of Chiyo. I arrived back to my class's section of the stands, flopping into my seat next to Izuku and Ochaco as I lazily greeted them, which they enthusiastically returned. A quick glance at Ochaco's face revealed her red and puffy eyes. I shot her a small smile and leaned onto her, wrapping an arm around her in silent support.

Izuku's muttering brought my attention over to him as he flipped through his book and glanced repeatedly at the stage. I followed his gaze to see Yuga and Ashido facing off on the stage, having just started their battle. Yuga seemed to be following his strategy from his last fight, short bursts of his laser to make Ashido keep her distance while predicting her trajectory whenever she tried to dodge. Of course, we can't forget his narcissistic comments throughout the fight.

Ha. Haha.

Eventually, Ashido got close to Yuga, having barely dodged a few blasts of his laser, only to be surprised when he stopped using his laser altogether, engaging her in close quarters combat. He consistently kept her subdued with quick jabs to her sides while slapping aside her hands whenever she tried to counterattack. Once he had gotten her close enough to the edge of the stage, he finished it with a throw and a flip of his hair when she landed out of bounds.

"Ashido-san, out of bounds! Aoyama-kun advances to the third round!"

I turned my head away from the match as it finished, a small frown adorning my face.

So, I have to fight him next, huh...

"It's time for the first Semi-final match! Would the next contestants please make their way to the stage! Yeah~!"

Izuku almost immediately shot out of his seat upon hearing Present Mic's announcement, sprinting his way to the stage, while Todoroki calmly followed him. After a couple minutes the two of them arrived on the stage, although Izuku seemed to be out of breath, leading to Present Mic hyping up the crowd.

"Thanks for waiting, everybody! The first match of the Semi-final round is a big match! The man who won huge victories in the first and second rounds, literally leaving the audience frozen—From the hero course, it's Todoroki Shoto! On the other hand, this lucky pervert barely made it through the second round!", Wait a minute. Eh?! Izuku~?!, "What kind of fight will he show is this time? From the hero course, it's Midoriya Izuku!"

I stood up from my seat and jumped on to the railings once again, enthusiastically cheering for Izuku as he stared down Todoroki, waiting for Present Mic to start the match. I could hear Tenya, Ochaco and Tokoyami discussing their thoughts on the match from behind me, but I quickly tuned them out to concentrate on Izuku and my cheering.

"Now—Midoriya versus Todoroki! Star~t!"

Almost the same instant that Present Mic announced the start of the match, Todoroki was blasting ice along the stage straight for Izuku, who quickly countered it with one of his finger Smashes to counter it. As the air pressure from Izuku's counter blasted away Todoroki's ice, the wind it caused blasted up into the stands causing me to let go of the railings I sat on to rub my arms, hoping to hold onto some warmth.

As the wind cleared, I could see Izuku clutching his hand with the broken finger, while Todoroki stood on the opposite end of the stage, with ice at his back to keep him from being blown away. I tuned out all the cheering, Present Mic and the students behind me as I leaned forward, one hand gripping the railing, the other cupped next to my mouth.

"Go~! Izuku-chan~! You can do it~~!"

And then, as Todoroki sent of the next wave of ice, Izuku did something completely unexpected. He used Full Cowl. That was the only explanation for the speed he displayed without injury, as he dodged to the side of the second wave and launched himself towards Todoroki, quickly closing the distance between them. Todoroki's face was filled with shock as Izuku landed next to him, lining up his hand and flicking another Smash,only this time at point blank range.

Todoroki shot out a wave of ice behind him, curving it to keep him in bounds as he was launched backwards. Izuku was on the chase now, consistently using Full Cowl and mostly fighting with that instead of using Smashes to keep Todoroki on edge, preventing him from properly counterattacking.

After Izuku used another close-range finger Smash, he and Todoroki were both launched to opposite ends of the stage. Izuku was gritting his teeth while panting, while Todoroki's breath was misting as a layer of ice started to form directly on his body.

From up in the stands I couldn't hear what they said to each other as they stood at opposite ends of the arena, but I could see Todoroki trembling from the cold, while Izuku gripped his left hand and grit his teeth. Todoroki sent another wave of ice as he finished whatever he was saying, although this one was much larger than all the previous ones. Instead of dodging, Izuku held his ground, using the last finger he could for a Smash with his left hand, completely blowing him away and nearly sending Todoroki out of bounds.

As Todoroki stood and stared at Izuku, I could see his mouth moving while he gripped his left hand into a fist, glaring towards Todoroki in determination.

So cool~, Izuku~!

Todoroki charged towards Izuku, thoroughly provoked by whatever had been said, though... he was slow. The layer of ice covering his body had finally begun affecting his abilities, and his anger seemed to have clouded his judgement as he seemingly forgot that Izuku was able to attack and dodge without injuring himself anymore.

The fight continued like that, with Izuku dodging the smaller waves of ice that Todoroki was now outputting, and then using the weaker Full Cowl punches to deal damage to him. Until once again Izuku used a finger Smash that launched them to opposite edges of the stage. Once he recovered, Izuku almost immediately charged at Todoroki, slamming a heavy uppercut into his gut that sent him back a few meters.

As Todoroki stood up again, he didn't move, staring as Izuku charged at him again, landing another hit. More and more ice layered onto Todoroki as he stood once more—only for it to melt away when a blazing inferno burst out from him as he finally used his left side. I redoubled in my cheering for Izuku, because I knew the moment of truth was coming up, and with how he's already changed, I had no clue how the fight would end.

Both Todoroki and Izuku prepared their attacks, Todoroki using both sides of his Quirk, while Izuku got ready to leap against him, with his right arm held back for a full swing when they reached each other. Todoroki sent out his largest wave of ice yet, charging up his left side behind him, while Izuku jumped multiple meters high and ran along the ice at high speed.

He's 100% using Full Cowl, then. Come on Izuku! I know you can do this!

I jumped to my feet on the railing, cupping my hands around my mouth as I shouted my loudest, "You can do it, Izuku!", yet.

Izuku finally began pulling forward his right arm after having held it reared back for so long just as he neared Todoroki, who was doing the same with his left arm. Just before their attacks went off, Cementoss brought up a layer of walls between them, dampening some of the damage from their attacks before they reached each other.

Although that did absolutely nothing for everyone in the stands. Especially myself. Because I was totally blasted upwards from the force of their attacks since I wasn't holding onto anything and stupidly stood on the railings when I knew what was coming.

When the momentum finally died down and gravity took control again, I was about 20 feet above the roof of the stadium. Luckily, I was straight above the covered portion of the roof and hadn't been left falling the rest of the distance from somewhere over the open portion of it.

With a loud *thud* I landed flat on my ass on top of the roof, immediately rolling over onto my stomach and holding my rear end as I moaned in pain. I laid there for a good minute as I continued to gently rub my bruised butt before I crawled my way over to the edge of the roof towards the inside of the stadium.

I poked my head over the edge just in time to see the dust clearing out, and inside it... was Todoroki, panting heavily, but still standing. Only a second later I saw Izuku... still inside the ring, his left foot buried under the stage, and his right arm broken.

He... He still has a chance!

I quickly stood and cupped my hands around my mouth once again.

"KICK HIS ASS! IZUKU-CHAN~!"

The two of them, and probably most of the audience, did a double take when they saw where I was shouting from atop the roof. I continued my cheering, hopping on my feet and began pumping my fists, urging Izuku to win the fight.

Izuku was the first one to snap out of the daze of staring at me on the roof and used both arms to grip his left knee and drag his foot out of the stage. He gave the slightest nod in my direction before he charged at Todoroki, who still seemed dumbfounded, on top of his exhaustion. Todoroki didn't notice until it was too late and Izuku was at point blank range with him, using the thumb on his left hand in his mouth for fully charged Smash, which blasted him right to the edge of the stage. Where he proceeded to stumble and land smack on his backside out of bounds.

I may or may not have fallen over as I laughed, which caused Present Mic, who seemed to come back to his senses just in time, to yell asking if I was okay. Still out of breath from laughing, I stuck my hand out over the edge of the roof in a thumbs up.

"T-Todoroki-kun is out of bounds...", Ah, there's Midnight, "Midoriya-kun advances to the final round!"

Midnight's announcement seemed to snap everyone out of their daze as the crowd erupted into cheers


I had quickly made my way down from the roof and headed straight for the stage as my match was up next. I barely had to wait a minute before Yuga arrived on stage, stopping a few meters away from me before he crossed his arms and glared at me. Of course, I silently glared back. Soon enough, Present Mic was announcing us for our imminent fight.

"From the hero course, it's Aoyama Yuga! Versus— Also from the hero course, Yagi Himiko! And wow, I can feel the animosity between these two from all the way up here! Now then, let's sta~rt!"

Yuga almost instantly shot off a laser at me scowling all the while, and I used the chance to dash forward after dodging, a matching scowl on my face. He kept firing his laser, but I easily dodged every time, quickly closing the distance between us as he tried to back up at the same time.

As soon as I came in close enough to be in martial arts range, he gave up on his laser and blocked my first punches. He tried to counterattack as well, and other than a few glancing blows I was able to avoid them all.

We continued like that for a few minutes, trading blows that the other either dodged or blocked, but neither of us gained the advantage over the other. I finally broke through his guard when I half-tripped on one of my punches, accidentally putting all my weight into the blow, the punch hitting him in the chest before my forehead slammed into his chin as I tried to gain my balance.

Ow, forehead to chin hurts~.

That pushed him flat on his back, giving me the chance to straddle his torso and beat him into the ground from there. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be, as he caught my first punch and flipped me over his head. I followed through on the momentum of being flipped, rolling back into an upright kneeling position. I quickly stood up and took my stance once again, seeing as he had taken the chance to get back to his feet and do the same.

As we began trading blows once again, I noticed he had given up on his defense, taking more hits from me so that he could focus all his hits on my injured shoulder. I tried to focus more on blocking in response, but he used that chance to break my guard with a point-blank laser shot while his left hand reached over to my shoulder and he dug his thumb directly into my stab wound, which caused me let out a high-pitched yelp as I felt the stitches break.

My right arm spasmed as he continued to dig his thumb into the wound and I brought up my left hand to grab his wrist in an attempt to pull him off me. He smirked as he brought his other hand to join the first and I realized in that moment that he left himself completely vulnerable to my legs.

So of course, I kneed him in the crotch in payback. His entire body shuddered, and his face scrunched up in pain, and I took full advantage of his distraction, grabbing him by the wrist and armpit of his right arm and tossed him as hard as I could while letting out a loud roar of, "Get the hell off me, assho~le!"

Yuga had landedface first in the grass out of bounds, his legs sticking up in the air and twitching all the while.

Ho~ly shit, he went flying. Like, he flew at least twenty meters from our position at about the center of the stage.

My eyes widened in surprise at how far he went panting from exertion and bringing up my left arm to hold my injured shoulder as I glanced towards Midnight.

"Aoyama-kun, out of bounds! Yagi-san advances to the final round!"

Ah. This means I have to fight Izuku doesn't it...


I had been told that there would only be a short five-minute break in-between the matches, so I only had enough time to jog to a vending machine and down a bottle of water before I needed to head back to the stage. As I jogged back to the stage, I passed by Yuga being carried by one of those automated stretchers along the way.

I arrived on stage with a couple minutes to spare still, my left hand coming up to clutch at my shoulder as I grimaced in pain while I waited for Izuku to arrive and our match to begin. As I was holding my shoulder, I could feel a wetness leaking through my clothes and, lifting my hand for a moment to take a glance, Yep... I was bleeding.

Izuku arrived not a moment later, both his sleeves ripped off and bandages covering the entirety of his right arm as well as his left hand. It looked like he came straight from the infirmary so neither of us got all that much of a break between our matches, causing me to shoot him a small smile.

"Let's try our hardest and may the best one win, ne, Izuku-chan?"

He responded with his own determined smile, his lips stopped moving silently as he finished mumbling to himself and practically vibrated in anticipation.

"Yeah, let's, Himiko-chan."

We stood there smiling at each other for a few moments longer until Present Mic started his introductions.

"It's finally the last battle of the U.A. High School sports festival! The top of the first years will be decided with this one match! The final, so to speak! From the hero course, Midoriya Izuku! Versus— Also from the hero course, Yagi Himiko! Now—Star~t!"

Neither of us moved right away, smiling for a few moments longer before we both ran forward clashing at the center of the stage, throwing punches in almost perfect sync, as well as dodging our heads to the side at the last moment. I could feel the smile spread across my face and at the time it felt like my face would stick like that forever, with how much joy I had been feeling.

We continued trading blows at regular for a minute longer when Izuku changed it up. I almost didn't see it when the tiny arcs of barely visible green lightning jumped across his body, which explained why I couldn't see it during his match with Todoroki. I paid for letting that thought distract me for even a moment, taking a Full Cowl punch to the gut and flying back a few meters. I let out a small cough as I landed on one knee, already pulling myself back up to my feet.

He'll have to do worse than that, I'm already very acquainted with taking blows from All For One thanks to All Might.

I let out a small wry chuckle as I dodged the next blow Izuku threw, catching it just as I fully stood and attempting to throw him over my shoulder. It almost worked too, or so I thought for the moment before he landed flat on his feet and used the momentum to then throw me. I held on for a few moments before my grip slipped off his arm, killing most of the momentum, which resulted in my landing on my back and immediately rolling sideways as he threw a punch downwards into the ground.

His hand got stuck in the ground for a moment which had given me enough time to get back on my feet. We continued trading blows like that for another few minutes until he gritted his teeth and pulled his left arm back in a wind up for a punch. My eyes widened in surprise as he hadn't used any Smashesup until that point and, without thinking, I pulled up my right arm to block the blow instead of dodging.

There was no yell of Smash, or rather no sound at all, and it stayed like that for a few moments until I heard a high-pitched screaming in the distance. Only it slowly got louder, and I realized my vision was slightly spinning, Izuku standing across from me with a look of shock spread across his face as he stared at me.

And just as my hearing fully returned the scream cut off abruptly when I realized it was my own voice. I panted slightly as my eyebrows scrunched together my entire right arm in excruciating pain and hanging limply at my side when I glanced down at it.

I realized it must be dislocated as I couldn't even move my arm without the pain spiking to an indescribable level. My right eye distractedly tracked the blood trailing off my hand, dripping onto the ground in what seemed like slow motion, which also made me realize that my left eye had shut as I grimaced from the pain. As this was all processing in my head, it felt like the world around me had slowed, a quick glance up to Izuku showing his arms slowly raising and his expression slowly shifting into one of horror.

Ah, no, Izuku. You're supposed to be smiling.

That thought ran through my head for all of half a second before I shot him a bright grin, even as my left eye stayed shut from the pain and my right arm hung limply at my side. While I did that, it felt like my thoughts began to become extremely jumbled and the pain stopped coming through constantly, as if my mind couldn't fully register it anymore except for in small bursts. As soon as I directed my attention fully to him, time seemed to speed up once more, a high-pitched noise escaping Izuku's throat.

"Neh, Izuku-chan, we're not done yet... okay?" I tilted my head to the side cutely before rushing forward and spinning my body around, bringing my right leg up for a reverse roundhouse kick that seemed to catch him completely off guard tossing him a few meters to the side. He landed roughly on his arms and let out a small grunt, his widened eyes never leaving mine as I grinned at him and motioned for him to come at me with my left hand.

He hesitated before his expression shifted into a determined one and he charged at me and let out a battle cry. I laughed almost maniacally as I dodged his blows squeezing in my own hits consisting of kicks or punches with my left hand almost deliriously as my head spun from the bursts of pain I was feeling.

The fight only went on like that for what was probably only a minute but felt both longer and shorter in my mind at the time, until Izuku decided to wind up another punch. This time I dodged, like I would have if I had been thinking properly the last time, jumping up and kicking his fist down, causing his momentum to drag him down and nearly bury his fist into the ground.

He used his free hand to push on the ground and spin around so that he could bring up his arms to guard, as he knew I was still right above him. I kicked his guard open with my other leg and landed sitting on top of his chest just as his back hit the ground, gripping his hair in my left hand and holding his head slightly above the stage.

That gave me the chance to wrap my legs around the back of his head and squeeze down in hopes of choking him out. His hands flew up to grip my thighs, trying to pry them off, but he seemed to quickly either give up or begin to pass out as his grip loosened and he lightly tapped the tops of my thighs instead.

"I-Izuku...chan~. Are you, giving, up? One... tap for yes-"

Before I could even finish my slightly disjointed speech, he tapped my thigh once again, to which I unwrapped my thighs from around his head. I removed my left hand from his hair and used it to push myself up to my feet, standing up from his chest, and turning around to help him up. Instead, I found myself surprised to see Izuku's eyes rolled back in his head and a large trail of blood leaking from his nose to his mouth.

"T-The lucky pervert strikes again! Midoriya-kun is out of commission! Which means, Yagi-san wins!"

I barely hear the audience cheering as I sway from side to side, finally taking the chance to glance down at my right arm, only to find it completely soaked in blood, with a puddle of it beginning to form beneath me.

"Ah... That's... a lot of blood..."

I felt myself tilting to the side and was enveloped by darkness before I even hit the ground.


Long ass AN:

First off, this chapter has been written in short bursts over the last couple years whenever I wasn't ridiculously depressed, so there may be errors logic, continuity, etc. Any kind really. If you spot one feel free to point it out and I'll fix it as soon as I can.

I may or may not go through and edit all the chapters again if I come across a decent amount of free time (unlikely).

I will no longer be responding to comments through authors notes (After this chapter) and will be PMing responses to reviews instead. Unless a bunch of people are asking the same thing ;p

Biri biri; Sound of electricity flowing or getting electrocuted, or a light electric shock.

Short fights are short. But hey, I was trying to fit the entire tournament section in one chapter. Or at least most of it.

So, uh, Full Cowl, huh? How about that? Cx As for any confusion as to when he learned it, my explanation will be that he figured it out on his own during the gap period before the Sports Festival. Which will be brought up later. Probably in the Izuku POV chapter. But yeah, Himiko as extra motivation and seeing her spars with All Might for ideas yada yada yada. Ehehe.

That bandage wrapping scene... kinda... got away from me. Ehehe. Also, I'm gonna go ahead and say that Izuku was too distracted by a half-naked Himiko to realize her shoulder was injured too. *shrugs*

I can't remember how Ochaco referred to a lot of characters sooo First Name-chan for girls, Last Name-kun for guys. XD

So, I had a thing I was doing, but it ended up aligning with canon and made the thing I was doing irrelevant. Which is just, oof. Honestly not sure if I should just toss aside what I was doing to follow canon, or instead continue with my thing and have it be the reason that the canon thing exists. Lololol

I was totally planning on writing said thing in during the scene where they talk about the shadows of previous OfA holders, but All Might took over and was like, "Nope, I don't want to deal with this, kbai." lmao.

Himiko getting blown away was not part of the plan, but it came out of nowhere as I was writing and wouldn't leave me alone. Not to mention I literally couldn't stop giggling to myself as I imagined it.

So, updates on this will happen, but they won't be as frequent as they used to (When I was actively writing lol) because a) real life stuff, b) I currently have plot bunnies assaulting me for my new fic, and c) I'm not really in the same headspace as I was when I started this, thanks to depression. But regardless, I won't be abandoning it because I've put way too much time into the planning for future arcs. :)

Duskrider (Jan 1st, 2019): 'Accidentally'. 😉 Basically all right xD, though the fights may not seem as hard due to the semi condensed form since I wanted to squeeze them all in.

Guest 1 (Jan 1st 2019): Thanks! And uh, it's kind of hard to tell previous comments when you aren't signed in... Sorry ; w ;

Firiz (Jan 1st, 2019): I vaguely remember editing the bracket so I think I changed that within a couple days of the original post xD

Reaperjamm (Jan 1st, 2019): Lol super belated happy new years and then again for the next two years... oops

Lorelei evans (Jan 3rd, 2019): I'll take your word for it lol, I remember googling a bunch and that was the one that looked most alike to me but it's been a couple years so...

Necrogod (Jan 7th, 2019): Butterfly effects will be more prominent the closer we get to the All For One vs. All Might confrontation, but the real big stuff will happen after that. Hehehe. *Rubs hands together maniacally*

Lurk (Jan 8th, 2019): Yeah, it's a big cast so it's kind of hard to get those down right cx

I tried separating to get rid of the wall of text as well but it felt a bit awkward in some spots ;p. Still no beta lolol, which would help so that I don't go over editing every chapter like five times and still miss stuff... xD Himiko's internal struggle will be more pronounced and visible in future arcs, but for now she's just swimming along pretending everything is a joke lol. And next chapter will be Izuku POV from chapter 1-present as well as a bit past that 😊 Plus Ultra~
