Chapter 24 | Welcome to Hell

As the ball was released from your hand a popping sound was heard, almost like a glass hitting the ground. The force of the throw caused you to lift off the ground, moving forward a few meters while the dirt around you flew. The light emitted from your quirk followed the ball until it disappeared into the woods beyond.

"Yikes, I don't think I stretched properly hehe" you huffed, turning to face your peers while still remaining afloat with your quirk.

"Damn I don't think I'll ever get used to the sheer power (L/n)'s quirk has..." Kaminari said, his eyes wide in shock and hands over his ears

"Not just her quirk man, her too" Kirishima added, memories flashing back to a sparring exercise the class did a few weeks prior.

2nd person POV:

"You'll press this button and randomly be paired with one of your peers, each of your will be fighting one another without your quirks" Aizawa stated,

'Ha! This'll be easy, I'm a hand to hand combat guy so this should be a breeze' Kirishima thought to himself.

Once it was the redhead's turn to press the button, a wheel of names appeared to reveal one of his classmates names...

Kirishima vs. (L/n)

'(L/n)! She's a good opponent with her quirk but let's test how strong she really is.' He smirked a toothy grin

Once the pairings had all been selected, everyone went down to the training rooms to prepare for each fight.

"Hey (L/n)! You read to have a manly battle?!" The redhead asked in excitement.

"Hey Kirishima! You totally ready to get your butt kicked?" She smirked playfully while sticking her tongue out.

"Oh just you wai-" the boy gets cut off by Mr Aizawa's voice

"Since the two of you are so confident why don't you go first" he said with a stern but scary expression, his eyes glowing red to show his quirk in full effect.

The boundaries and rules were set as the class stood in the surrounding area of the battlegrounds. In a way this was similar to the sports festivals individual battles, the difference of course being... no quirks.

The two students warmed up and stretched before their fight started. Both were ready to go and ready to be the winner.

"3...2...1... Begin!" Aizawa shouted

The girl watched as Kirishima charged at her, analyzing his actions and building a plan to combat it. As he neared his approach she angled her footing to dodge him at the last second causing him to fall. She took this chance to shove and pin the boy to the ground with her knee, grabbing his arms in the process.

Kirishima lifted up his left foot and threaded it under (L/n)'s arm, tugging her backwards as she flew across the room. As she landed with a thud their classmates let out a collective 'oof'. The two teens took this brief moment to catch their breath and reassess their plan. Soon enough they were back on their feet, the two ran at one another throwing punches and kicks, left and right.

Kirishima attempted a kick at the girls head only for her to duck underneath and sweep his foot from underneath. The boy landed harshly with a thud, the wind being knocked out of his lungs. He lay there flat on his back, unable to get up after the heavy amount of blows given by his opponent. She stood there in a panting and tired fighting stance, watching to see if the boy would get up.
