.~( Running )~.

. 24 .

Getting into position, I wave Marisu out of the circle. The cat didn't leave my side though.

'' Wait a second, Hagakure. '' I sigh. She nods, understanding.

I pick up Marisu and walk over to Mina. She had chosen to sit out as there was an uneven amount of people.

'' Hey, can you watch Marisu? I don't want him to get injured. '' I ask her.

'' Of course! '' She replies, happy. I put Marisu in her lap and run back over to Hagakure.

'' We can start now. ''

Soon, we start. She rushes at me and I dodge to the side, activating Full cowling; 10%. Light green energy surrounded me as I moved away, almost getting out of the circle. I grin as stumbled, almost falling. Soon she recovers her balance and rushes at me again. I punch the air, sending a powerful gust of wind her way. She squeals, getting knocked to the ground.  I made sure that we had chosen a circle away from everyone as I didn't want to hurt anyone else.

Soon, she got back up and braced herself again. I turn off my Full Cowling and rush at her this time. She dodges to the side and kicks my upper leg. Bad choice. I wince, stumbling. She notices and stops her attack.

'' Hey, you okay? Sorry if I hit you too hard. ''

'' It's fine, sorry. The ice cut that Todoroki did to my leg a while ago still hurts. '' I lie. She nods.

We get back at it, Hagakure surprisingly strong. After some punches to my arm, I manage to swipe her legs from under her and Hagakure fell to the ground.

'' Rematch? '' I ask her.

'' Sure! '' She says, breathless. I help her up and she rushes at me. I jump out of the way, hearing an explosion to my right. I look over and see that Kacchan was fighting against Jirou.

Poor Jirou.

I land on the ground and roll, getting up almost immediately. I see the invisible girl I was facing run towards me and I send yet again another gust of wind to her. She gasps, having the wind taken out of her.

'' Ah! Sorry! I hit you too directly with the wind, didn't I? '' I ask, jogging towards her.

She's just gasping air into her lungs. '' It's- fine- Midoriya. '' She says between breathes. I nod and help her up. Soon Aizawa tells us to change partners and everyone heads back to the bucket.

I pull out a name and sigh. It was Kacchan. (Yeah, I know, not original, but I need something big to happen >:>)

He spots it and grumbles, walking to a circle near the outside of the field. I follow him at a jog.

'' After this sparring round we're going to be running laps around the whole of UA until class is over. ''

Everyone but me grumbles and we take out positions.

Kacchan grins and runs towards me, sending an explosion towards me. I dodge, just barley, and activate Full Cowling; 10%. I see that he changed the right-arm swing beginning. Running towards him, I kick his side, making him fall to the ground. He yells out a curse and sends yet another explosion my way. It hits my arm, burning the fabric their, but I didn't wince to much. I was used to burns. Kacchan notices this and looks worried, but must of ignored it and raced towards me again. With my burnt arm I knew I couldn't use too much power. Turning the Full Cowling down to a 5%, I punch his chest, sending him out of the circle. He coughs, needing air. I pause my attack, watching him warily, while checking on my arm.

Not too burnt, some crispy bits, but not as bad as usual. I turn back to Kacchan and see he's running towards me. I dodge, kicking his back.

After awhile, he grabs my burnt arm, probably not knowing because he had been keeping clear of it for awhile, and threw me to the ground. I wince, the pain that had been affecting me before now alot clearer.
