the opponents (part 3)

After I fought Iida, I wasn't able to face him or the others. I just hung around one of the rooms in the arena, eating tofu and spinach to replenish the iron I lost. Though when I thought I had the room all to myself, someone opened the door and let themselves in.

"There you are!" Bakugou yelled, "I was looking for you, idiot!"

He came up to me and slammed his hand against the table, creating a small yet loud explosion to intimidate me.

"What the hell was that?!"

"What was what?" I tilted my head, still eating my tofu.

"You know what you did!!" Bakugou shouted angrily, "You could've won that match if you hadn't given up! What mind of an idiot throws away a victory like that?!"

I didn't respond, and just looked down at my plate and kept on eating.

"Hey! Look at me when I'm talking to you!"

I sighed, slowly standing up and facing Bakugou head on. If I didn't, I wouldn't hear the end of it.

"I can't just let a punk like you get away with something like that!" Bakugou told me, frustrated, "Tell me why you let that bastard win!"

I slowly raised my left hand and pointed it at Bakugou's chest, but then lowered it when I realized he didn't have any metals on him.

"You thought you could use your quirk against me," he laughed, mocking me, "but I made sure that wouldn't happen!"

I glared at Bakugou, irritated, gripping my fists tightly into a ball. I hated when people like him got away with stuff; especially when they think they can easily do so because of their status. So I quickly took out some round bullets from my pocket and made them hover over his forehead with my magnetic field.

"If you move, I'll shoot."

Bakugou's face was covered in nervous sweat. He knew very well I wasn't capable of shooting a classmate, but the thought of knowing that a bullet was inches away from his face was more than enough to put him on edge.

"I don't understand why you're so angry," I began, "I'm not your competition anymore. Let it go."

I made the bullet drop as it bounced repeatedly against the floor. Bakugou didn't say anything at first, so I just walked away toward the door to let myself out.

"You..." he grunted, "You're nothing more than a damn quitter! You know that, right?!"

I stopped and looked at Bakugou over my shoulder, indifferent.

"That's all you'll ever be!!"

I closed my eyes and grinned, slowly opening the sliding door.

"Maybe. But at least I care about my friends enough to know when to back down."

And with that, I left Bakugou alone in the room, never knowing what happened to him before he fought against Todoroki.
