"W-Why did you want to talk w-with me in private Gisheikyo?" Midoriya asks. I lean against the wall and exhale. 

"I'm here to warn you about Shinso. He's who you're up against in the combat battle." I say. She nods and relaxes. I explain to her what his quirk is. Brainwashing. I tell her that if he tries to get her to talk to not respond, cause that’s how he got me. Midoriya nods and thanks me for my advice.

"Should we head back now? Uraraka and Iida will probably be worried about us-"

"No. I have one more thing."

Midoriya turns back to me, slightly curious and confused. Todoroki's words echo through my head and I clenched my fist before snapping out of it. 

"No more handholding from me. Sorry Midoriya, but from here on out, I aim to win. Know that. If we eventually face each other, I will not hold back, and because of that, we're enemies." I say. Midoriya looks devastated, before looking down as I began to walk away. As much as I hate to do that, it’s probably for the best. I can't be lazy and slack off now. After all, I have to beat Todoroki. I stop briefly and turn back to Midoriya.

"And Midoriya? Good luck with your fight." I say. 

-Timeskip brought by Gisheikyo drinking a milkshake-

"Gisheikyo? Are you alright?" Tokoyami asks. "It appears to me something heavy was on your mind." He continues. 

"I'm fine. Just strategizing."

That’s a lie. I'm up against Kaminari, so I already had one. Let him shock himself into incapacity. Im just trying to think of other things so I dont feel too bad. Try to detach yourself as you did in middle school Gisheikyo. Damn it. As much as I hate to say it. She's changed me. No wonder I can feel guilt now.  shouldn't have let Todoroki's words get to me. Now I've potentially caused issues between me and the person who legitimately saw anything me. The fight between Midoriya and Shinso continues as I'm left to my thoughts. She broke through his Brainwashing and proceeded to continue fighting, as Shinso began to push her out of bounds. At the right moment, she shoulder checks him, and like she did Bakugou, slams him down out of bounds, earning her the win.

"Hm. She really is a wonder isn’t she." I whisper to myself as she happily waves at Uraraka. Now it’s my turn to fight. I head down and out onto the stadium. Kaminari looks rather boisterous as always making poses and the like. Midnight starts the battle and Immediately he touches the ground and discharges a large amount of electricity.

"AND JUST LIKE THAT KAMINARI HAS ELECTRIFIED THE BATTLEFIELD! HOW WILL GISHEIKYO COUNTER?!" Present Mic says. The electricity begins to course through me and just as I had trained, I absorbed it. It stings less than during the battle training. Just as i had planned, Kaminari was doing that "yay, yay" thing he does. So I used a light air blast from my palm to gently send him out of bounds.

". . . Oh so that’s how he'll counter." Present Mic says. 

"GISHEIKYO WINS!"
