The fights continued in the arena, the crowd applauded or booed the students. The fights were fast, or violent, sometimes long.Finally comes Dust's turn.

In the stands, Hiro was watching Dust enter, next to him was Hawks. Indeed, thanks to his position in his agency, Hiro had managed to obtain a place.He was worried, not knowing how Dust was going to fare during his fight. He was strong, sure, but his mental state didn't guarantee anything.

Dust moved forward slowly, his step slow and yet assertive. He looked the person in front of him, his opponent, in the eyes, fearing nothing from him.In the present, Dust felt like a beast ready to pounce on him to devour him or to protect his territory.

Dust took a deep breath, patiently waiting for Cementos' signal, the crowd watching from the stands.






The departure was underway.





Immediately afterward, Dust rushed at his opponent with his legendary speed, he made a fine Spike to use it as a weapon and easily detach him from the ground.His opponent could make vines with his hair, but that wasn't a problem for him, he just had to be quick and everything would be fine.
Despite everything, his opponent had mastered his quirk very well, which made things slightly more difficult.Dust, however, dodged the attacks launched without any issue, getting dangerously close.

Dust was now like a predator, he used his Quirk very little, opting for melee.With a kick to the stomach, his opponent was off the field.

He was cheered by the crowd as he walked off the field, as if none of it mattered to him.





Finally comes his second round.He knew in advance that this time it would be hard or that he would lose, but it didn't matter, he would give his all.
His head was held high, some people said he was too confident for his current level as he walked into the ring.He started humming to himself, to motivate himself more than he already was. He took a deep breath as the departure began. He rushed straight in, he couldn't wait to fight.

His opponent was Bakugo Katsuki, he was a formidable student with great strength, whether mental or physical. Dust knew the fight would be difficult, maybe even Bakugo would try to get to him mentally, or maybe he would be too focused?He clenched his fist while moving forward, Bakugo did the same, he was the type to rush into a crowd, he wasn't stupid though.

The fight was violent and hard, the crowd watched, constantly wondering who would win. But Dust was getting exhausted, he had numerous injuries and was struggling to stand. Yet, he continued to move forward. He certainly wasn't going to stop there, too bad if he collapsed, he had to give it his all.

He rushed one last time, gathering his last strength. Bakugo quickly blocked him, both were on the ground, Bakugo violently hitting Dust who was struggling.At one point, Dust felt like time was slowing down, as he looked to the side, at the crowd watching them. He knew he could get through this, he closed his eyes for a moment. Chinmoku tried more than anything not to use his Quirks, but it was necessary.

He opened his eyes and sneered at Bakugo, which caught him off guard, stopping hitting Dust.

«Do you like it? To hit me. »

Bakugo didn't understand why Dust suddenly adopted this tone and frowned.

« What are you talking about ?! What are you up to?!
— Me ? Nothing nothing. . .
— You found a way out of this, right?!
— You just have to raise your head and you will see. . . »

At that moment, Bakugo looked up to understand what was happening, and he saw a huge wolf, created from dense pinkish smoke. He quickly got up and jumped back, putting himself on guard. Now free to move, Dust slowly got up. His back still a little arched, his limbs still sore from Bakugo's blows, he wiped under his nose, a little blood flowing before sniffing.

When he raised his arm to announce the wolf's movements, ready to charge at Bakugo, he collapsed to the ground. The noise was dull, some spectators stood up, not expecting this sudden event.


Dust had lost the fight and Bakugo had won.

He was then taken to the infirmary to receive the necessary care.
