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

D?ITHSP... 40 Decisive matches

Kirishima: Oh boy.

"You've been trying to keep rock hard this whole fight, right Kirishima? That means you're overusing your quirk, and sooner or later, you'll fall apart!"

He ended his sentence with a massive explosion. Kirishima still had enough juice in him that it probably wouldn't take him down, but it would give Katsuki another opening. He didn't wait for the smoke to clear before letting off another big explosion to Kirishima's face, then another, then another. @*#&$ Hair had had his chance to shine at the beginning of the fight, now it was Katsuki's turn.

Recovery Girl: Don't go overboard!

Now that (*^$# Hair was tired, it only took 30 seconds of continuous explosions to knock him out. Yeah, he could see why Kirishima had been trying to avoid a drawn out match with him, but too bad. Katuski had been in control since the beginning of the fight, %@#$ Hair just hadn't known it.

"Kirishima has been knocked out!" Midnight announced. "Bakugo advances to the next round!"

Spinner: I'm getting kinda bored. This Sports Festival is kind of identical to the one we've already watched, except for that thing with Shinso.

Twice: Eh, just enjoy the show or whatever. No I hate it too!

Izuku didn't know why he'd been worried about Katsuki, of course he'd win, he was amazing. But still, Kirishima had put up a good fight, and he could see from Katsuki's face that Kirishima had clearly impressed him. As far as Izuku could tell, there were only a few things that Katsuki cared about, but strength and being the best were some of them. He even let Kirishima hang around him without beating him up, which meant he'd impressed him before at some point or another, maybe even at the USJ.

Kirishima: Look at that! Confirmation!

Bakugo(he did not have friends he did not have friends): Shut up!

Well, they had their final four. Izuku was kinda sad that Shinso had lost to Todoroki, but he'd definitely put up a good fight. As fast as the fight had been, it had kept Izuku on the edge of his seat. The fact that someone could still activate their quirk under Shinso's brainwashing was something they could use if he got into the hero course. Yeah, the rules for a sports festival transfer were mostly unknown and highly subjective, but he knew there was no way Shinso hadn't impressed Aizawa, so he was holding out hope for a new classmate.

Shinso(shooting a double take): Wait...

And Todoroki had used his fire! Sure, that didn't erase the trauma that had led him to ignoring his left side in the first place, but it was progress! Izuku was so proud of him but... he wished he was more surprised that Endeavor was abusive. After Katsuki though, he supposed abuse was a side effect of the system. All the more reason for a quirkless hero to come in and change things. Hmm, would Nezu help...

Nezu: Of course!

Present Mic announced the next match between Todoroki and Iida. It was so hard when his friends faced each other because he didn't know who to root for! Todoroki started off with an ice attack, obviously. Izuku didn't know how he'd use his fire against a fast opponent like Iida, or how much control he had over that side of his quirk, but it was better to use ice to fence him in like he was doing.

It looked like Todoroki was going to win. There was literally nowhere left for Iida to run. Just then, Iida jumped completely over the ice. Could he use his quirk to help him jump or were his legs just naturally that powerful? Was there a way to use his quirks to enhance his jumps? That would be super useful in a fight on uneven terrain!

Iida: I can answer your questions when we get home, Midoriya, or have they already been answered?

Midoriya: I think I'm good for now, but we can chat later, Iida! Thanks!
