MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 1

D?ITHSP... 38 Be the best

Uraraka(blankly): ...Huh. Bakugo thinks I'm a strong opponent.

Midoriya(amazed): That's probably one of the best compliments he could give you and he doesn't give any compliments!

"Hey! If you really want to be a hero, stop acting like a bully!" Katsuki froze momentarily as a voice echoed from the stands and the crowd started booing him. Was he being too harsh on Roundface?

Vlad: No.

He shook his head as Uraraka forced him to counter with another explosion. No, he knew firsthand what bullying was and this wasn't like that. Uraraka was forcing him to counter at every turn, so this wasn't the beat-down it probably looked like from the stands. This was a fight.

"Whoever started this uproar should be ashamed." Katsuki caught his breath as Aizawa started talking. He didn't think he'd ever heard the hobo sound so passionate. "Bakugo's fierceness is an acknowledgment of his opponent's strength."

Mic: Yeah Shou usually never has that much emotion in his voice.

Midnight: If at all.

Thirteen: Does tired count as an emotion?

Hound Dog: No.

Heh, so the hobo did know what he was talking about sometimes. For the first time since the fight started, Uraraka stopped coming at him for long enough for the smoke to clear. Even after all that, she still wasn't dead. This wasn't over.

She wiped a trace of soot from her cheek, "Thank you, Bakugo, for keeping your eyes focused on me."

What? What was pink cheeks talking about? Of course he'd been focused on her, he'd had to keep her from touching him? What...

Uraraka: Here comes my meteor shower...

"Release!"

Wait, what was she releasing? She'd never touched him! So what... he glanced around and noticed that the entire arena was suspiciously clear of debris, which meant... Katsuki looked up. @$(&*. He ignored Uraraka running at him as he braced his wrist. This was gonna hurt.

Katsuki had only let loose a few giant explosions in his life, since they always took a while to recover from and he wasn't known for being patient. But he had to blow that rubble to smithereens, there was no other way for him to win! He had to prove he was the best!

Inko: ...Katsuki you don't have to prove anything, you know.

The crowd gasped at the sheer size and heat as he vaporized her finishing move. (@$&*#, Roundface had gotten pretty close to beating him there. He turned back to face her at the now tiny rubble fell like hail around them.

"I figured you'd have some stupid plan to beat me." He growled. "You're friends with that nerd, after all."

He grinned as Uraraka got to her feet. So she still had some fight in her, good.

Joke: Keep going!

"All right, then. Time for us to get serious!"

He ran at her, but stopped when her legs gave out and she fell to the floor. No! It couldn't end like this! They were just getting started!

Mirko: Come on keep going!

Katsuki watched in shock as she tried to crawl forward and keep fighting before finally passing out. That kind of determination...

"Uraraka is unable to continue." Midnight announced. "Bakugo advances to the next round."

Midoriya: I think Kacchan respects you, at least a little bit, Uraraka.

Uraraka: ...Okay...?

Katsuki didn't like the word 'brooding'. He always figured there was no point in holding in his rage, since it may as well be everyone's problem, but that didn't change the fact that he was brooding as he walked back to the stands after that last match. He didn't know how he felt about that fight. On the one hand, Uraraka was strong enough that he'd been able to undeniably prove he was the best, on the other... did it have to be Uraraka? Of all the extras in his class, he wasn't expecting Uraraka to be the one to give him a run for his money. She looked so weak, but she'd still come so close to beating him.

Uraraka: I really did didn't I?

He saw Deku walking down the hall as he climbed the stairs and suddenly everything was clear. It was all Deku's fault! He was able to come up with a strategy for their class to beat Aizawa, a pro hero, so that whole meteor shower !$(@#* was obviously his idea. Yeah, the principal said he wasn't really supposed to interact with Deku that much, but it's not like he was going to beat him up.

Midoriya: No it was Uraraka's idea, not mine!

"What the hell are you doing here, Deku?"

Deku froze, "Hey, K-Katsuki. I was just going to go visit Uraraka in the locker room. See how she was doing, you know? C-congrats on winning your match, s-see you around!"

"It was your idea, wasn't it?"

Spinner: No it wasn't.

Deku turned around, "What?"

"That stupid, desprate plan of hers. Only you would come up with something so..."

Aizawa: You know what I think the problem child infected her with his crazy strategies.

Vlad: You're probably right.

"You're wrong. Uraraka came up with that move all on her own. So if that battle was harder than you thought it'd be, it was because of her strategy, not mine."

Katsuki growled as Deku walked away and he had to forcefully remind himself why he wasn't allowed to beat him up. Stop to think, like the Mutt said, that way people didn't get hurt and he got to stay in UA. It was so annoying.

Mitsuki: Just think would you, brat?

Bakugo: Shut it you hag!

He got back to the stands just as Cementoss started prepping the arena for the next set of matches.

"Hey Bakugo, playin' the villain, huh?" Soy-sauce face gave him an annoying smile. "Musta been tough."

"Even if it was because of who you were up against, you did make a convincing bad guy." Frog-Face pointed out.

Bakugo: Oh shut up you extras!

Tsu: Sorry, ribbit.

Sero: Yeah, sorry Bakugo.

Bakugo: I said 'shut up', not 'apologize'!

Why hadn't anyone ever told him that before UA? His old teachers always told him his temper was the sign of a great hero, but here everyone just saw him as a villain. So which was @$*(!&' true? He wasn't in the mood to deal with this.

All Might: A temper is not a sign of a good hero. (he glanced at Endeavor and so did a lot of other people)

"Shut up, you idiots, or else!"

"I don't know how you were able to aim a powerful blast at a frail girl like that." Dunce-Face said.

Iida: Uraraka isn't frail!

These idiots, didn't they realize just how close Uraraka came to beating him? And he was strong, so someone who almost beat him definitely couldn't be called weak. He sat down and looked out over the arena so he wouldn't be tempted to blow up any of his classmates.

"There's nothing frail about that girl."

Uraraka: And he literally admitted it... wow...

Jana: Anyway next story.
