Road to Heroes || MHA OCs

"Due to Nagakami Tanchu not coming out to the stage, she has been disqualified." Hearing the words from Mr. Komomi made his heart drop. "Yoyume advances to the second round!"

"So...I just automatically move on...?" Kanetsu mumbled while slowly walking off the stage.

He rubbed the back of his head while looking at the ground. Though he was aware that Nagakami didn't like him too much, he was still worried about what made her not want to fight.

"Naga..." Tsubu wiped off her face, sitting up slightly. "We...uhm...we can go back to the stands..."

"Are you sure? You're fully alright?" Nagakami quickly asked and still had a worried look.

"Mhm...I don't want to be rude...by missing the other battles..."

"Got it then!" She stood up and held out her hands. "Remember, you don't have to talk. Only talk if you want to."

"Mhm..." Taking her hands, she got pulled up to her feet. "G-Got it...but...what about Karada...?"

"I'll deal with him for you if he says anything stupid."

"Heh..."

As Kanetsu went through the hall, he ended up hearing footsteps from somewhere else. He faced towards where he heard it as two girls were seen walking.

"Huh?! Tanchu?!" Kanetsu exclaimed, which managed to get their attention.

"Hey there." Nagakami waved at him, her other hand holding Tsubu's.

"Where were you? You got disqualified for not showing up."

"I guess I just didn't want to fight but it works out for you, doesn't it? You get to move on."

"And Yurei...are you alright?"

Tsubu hesitated but all she did was slowly nod her head. "Mhm..."

"She's fine now." Nagakami reassured him and she let go of the girl's hand. "We can go back to the stands now."

Kanetsu nodded while turning towards it. "Right. Let's go."

Tsubu walked slightly ahead as Nagakami stopped the red haired. "Wait a second."

"Hm? What's wrong? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine but...thank you."

"What??" He jolted, running fingers through his hair. "You're thanking me?? What happened to the real Tanchu?!"

"I'm still here...I just wanted to thank you for being friends with me and Tsubu...that's all."

Tsubu noticed how the two weren't here and turned around. "N-Naga!"

"Sorry!" She laughed and ran by her side as they walked towards the stands.

Kanetsu watched them for a moment but then smiled and walked after them.

Muda looked off to the side and then gasped. "IT'S TANCHU! SHE'S HERE!"

"You don't have to yell..." Kyu mumbled while slightly shifting to the side.

"Yeah, I'm right here." Tanchu nervously laughed as the two sat down. "Thanks for the entrance."

"I just ran into them." Kanetsu came up and sat in his seat. "I was just as surprised."

"What happened??" Muda instantly asked with a curious look.

"Why didn't you go out to fight?" Osai wanted an answer just as much as them. "You were disqualified."

Nagakami shrugged and leaned back in her seat. "I guess I just didn't want to fight."

"But..." Kyu had a sympathetic tone towards her. "You threw away your chance to impress heroes."
