? Benevolence ?

The next match, Todoroki vs Sero, passed fairly quickly. I flinched back as the ice that was shot out reached our seats. That's kinda overkill...

The crowd errupted with 'good try's as Todoroki was announced the winner and said teen began to unfreeze his opponent.

As they unfroze the arena, Kaminari and I headed down for our fight. I could feel my stomach fluttering with nerves as I mulled over my half baked plan.

Far too soon, I found myself entering the arena.

"With the arena all thawed out, it's time for our next match! It's 1-A's friendly hero in training, who we saw helping a pal during the first event! Real nice kid! It's [Y/n] [L/n]! Versus! The sparking, killing boy! Denki Kaminari!"

I felt myself shaking slightly, offering the crowd a timid wave. "So, [L/n]. No hard feelings when I beat you, right?"

I turned my attention to my opponent. Blonde hair bright in the midday sun, he stood confidently with a smirk plastered across his face.

"I should ask you the same thing," I clipped back with a forced grin, readying myself.

"Start!"

In the blink of an eye, I was beside the teen clutching his shoulder and popping him over the line. In the same instant, he let out a large shock.

While I had gotten him over the line, I suddenly found electricity coursing my system. It felt like my body was on fire, every nerve lit up. My vision went white and I heard my win announced as I dropped to the arena floor, shaking.

After a moment, my vision cleared and I felt myself being moved onto a stretcher. I could feel a tingling sensation throughout my arms and legs.

I faintly heard a voice, "Take him to Recovery Girl." I faded in and out, soon finding myself on a bed. The old hero tutted before placing a kiss on my forehead. The tingling feeling slowly faded away as exhaustion took over.

"Just sleep for awhile. I'll wake you up in time for your next match." I drifted off at her words, murmuring a slurred thanks.

I woke up not too long after falling asleep to Shinso in the chair beside me, napping. His hands were folded in his lap with chin resting on his chest.

I noticed Kaminari was sitting on the end of the bed, scrolling through his phone. His hair was slightly ruffled with a small frown gracing his features. I groaned quietly as I sat up, startling the blonde.

"Oh, hey [L/n]! Good match! I wanted to apologize for shocking you so strongly. It may have been a bit too much..." he trailed off with a nervous grin.

I gave him a reassuring smile, "It's no problem. It was a fight so you shouldn't hold back."

The blonde brightened, "Yeah, but you won anyway so congrats!"

I picked at the hem of my shirt, smiling softly. "Thanks, do you know who's match is on?"

Nodding, he replied swiftly. "Yeah, it's actually still Iida verses that support girl. Their match has been going on forever."

He groaned loudly, waking up the tired teen on my left. His lilac eyes flickered open before focusing on me. "Oh hey, you're awake."

I smiled teasingly, "Nah, I'm still sleeping."

The tired boy rolled his eyes before standing, "Well she said you were free to go after you woke up."

I looked to see the electric blonde clambering off the bed to stand as well. Swinging my legs over the side, I stood up unsteadily.

Kaminari winced, "You'll probably be a little shaky for a bit, sorry bout that."

I smiled reassuringly before turning to my lilac eyed friend, grabbing his arm. "Hey, you okay? You did amazing during your match. If you went up against anyone else you would have easily won."

He nodded before starting to leave, "Yeah, I'm fine."

Pausing at the door, he added, "Glad you're okay."

Eventually, Kaminari and I made it to our place in the stands and I was soon bombarded with congratulations from my excited peers.

The next matches went by quickly until Kirishima was up against Tetsutetsu. It was scary how well matched they were.

Strangely enough, they both got knocked out ending the match in a tie. It was decided that they would have an arm wrestling match, of all things, when they recovered.

Up next was Uraraka versus Bakugou.

No doubt, Bakugou wouldn't hold back. I was a little worried for the gravity girl though as I could relate to not having a typically offensive quirk. She'd need to be creative if she wanted to win. She made it this far for a reason, though.

While waiting for the match, I noticed Midoriya scribbling in his notebook on my left.

"抖阴社区 any faster and you'll catch the paper on fire," I joked.

"Huh?!" He startled at my voice, straightening in his seat. "Oh, yeah I was just finishing up my notes on Tetsutetsu..." He trailed off with a nervous laugh.

I looked to his notebook to see a little sketch of the steel teen. "That's pretty neat. Do you take notes on all of us?"

At my question, he blushed brightly and began stuttering. "I mean- well kind of- I just- quirks really interest me, ya know? I don't mean to-"

I cut him off with a laugh, "Chill out, I don't mind. What do you have on me?"

The freckled boy visibly brightened. "Well I don't have a lot. I know you teleport and I remember what it feels like from the sludge villain incident, thanks for saving us by the way!"

He smiled softly before continuing. "I noticed that you have to be looking wherever you go so maybe you're limited by vision? Would you mind explaining your quirk? You don't have to though, I'm just curious."

"I don't see why not. My quirk is called Space Pop. You were right about needing to see where I'm going to teleport," I watched as he began taking notes next to a small doodle of me.

"Do you have any drawbacks? Like how Kaminari can fry his brain temporarily?"

I nodded, "Yeah, when I get to my limit my hearing can go out for a bit..." I trailed off as he began to mutter to himself.

"And for the last match up of the first round..."

I turned back to the arena at the sound of Present Mic's voice. With bated breath, I watched my peers enter the stadium.

I probably won't write how the fight goes so sorry to anyone who looked forward to it.
