The Quirkless At U.A. (Student Reader x Aizawa)

Chapter 22.

I stood on one side of the battle stage, with Shinsou standing on the other. Midnight stood in the middle off the edge of the stage.

"You must fight until one forfeits, exits the boundary, or is rendered unable to fight. Do you understand?"

We both nodded. The crowd watched in anticipation, ready for the first fight to start.

"Cementoss will be here to stop the fight if you go too far." Cementoss sat in a concrete chair, watching over the both of us.

"Are you ready?" Once again, we both nodded in affirmation.

"Go!" She snapped her whip.

I walked towards Shinsou, extremely nervous. It was hard to keep my cool under such uncertainty.

"Quirkless, huh?" He asked. ASKED.

I remained silent. Only a dumbass would respond to this kid right now. I'd received ample warning of his quirk, and was not going to pass up this chance. I began to gain some confidence, striding toward him.

"Must suck being a useless quirkless huh? You must have only got here due to luck!" My brows turned down, but I remained as calm as possible. He grew more frustrated by the minute.

"Don't you think-" He was cut off with a swift punch to the face. I threw out my yoyo, it wrapping tightly around his ankle. I yanked it, causing him to fall flat onto the ground. Ignoring my aching body, I picked him up, and started running towards the boundary. He wriggled out of my grasp, getting back up and returning my punch, causing a warm drip to run down my nose. A familiar metallic taste filled my mouth, whilst my head throbbed.

I responded by kicking him in the head, almost knocking him out. I grappled onto his waist, and chucked him over the line.

"AHHHH!" I swung as hard as I could. He hit the wall with a crash.

I stood panting, my nose now gushing blood.

"SHINSOU IS OUT OF BOUNDS! L/N advances to the next round!" Midnight announced. The crowd cheered, despite being unsure of what the fuck just happened.

"Oh my God." I fell to my knees, processing what just happened.

I sat in the waiting room, with my fellow classmates.

"Congratulations kid." Aizawa walked in. I said nothing in response. Maybe because I was trying to hide my blushing. He had no idea he was the one that got me out of that sticky situation back there...

"You okay...?"

I watched the screen. Sero and Todoroki were about to fight. My hands were clasped my hands together, watching in pure concentration, cotton in my nose. If Todoroki won, which he probably would, I would have to fight him next. His quirk was shit-scary and powerful.

"Oh." Aizawa sat down in one of the chairs, joining all of us in watching.

As soon as the fight started, it was over. Todoroki created a humoungous, gargantuan fucker of an iceberg that could outshine the one that sank the damn Titanic. It literally expanded out of the stadium. Sero was immediately unable to fight.

The class gasped, all heads now turning to me. My mouth was slightly open, as my eyes were glued to the screen. Todoroki melted his ice and let Sero out.

Trying to hide my shock, I walked out and slammed the door behind me.

Finding a nice, secluded corner to sit in, I pulled out a fag and lit it up in my mouth. My mind was completely clear. I already knew what I was going to do. I just needed to stay calm. Keep my mind empty.
