Chapter Twelve

Two rounds of competition pass and somehow you're still in the running.

Of course, you train everyday.

And your quirk can be very strong if planned strategically.

So maybe it wasn't all luck.

You also found many interesting sides of your classmates, such as Todoroki's extreme power, Midoriya's resourcefulness, Bakugou's hilarious bouts of rage, etc.

Of course, your beautiful and talented green-haired cousin made it to the finals as well.

Where are you left in all of this?

Your first battle of the finals, against Denki Kaminari. You're not really close with the lightning boy, but you're eager to beat him after he tried pulling the cheerleader uniform stunt with Mineta. Of course, you reported the incednet to Aizawa. You've also seen Kaminari in action at the USJ and during class training.

Of course you still remember buying him a bottle of lemonade the first week of school.

But you won't allow that to get in the way of winning a fight.

You prepare for the match in a room underneath the stadium. There isn't really much to prepare, as your plan is to wing the fight. Kind of the exact opposite of what Sir Nighteye has taught you for your entire life. However, you're getting pretty good at just rolling with situations, so you'll just keep going with it.

Mina walks with you to the arena's entrance.

"Go girl! I'll be cheering for you, you've got this!" Mina's gold and black eyes shimmer.

You mimic All Might in a deep voice, "GO BEYOND! PLUS ULTRA!" You both laugh until your name is announced. Breathing in, you walk into the arena. Don't let Mina down. Or Dad. Or Aizawa. Win this, Y/n!

Kaminari mirrors your attack pose across from you. When signaled to start, you both begin to circle.

Knowing his quirk, he'll probably send a wave of electricity and be left braindead. If I can just block his attack, then this will be easy-peasy.

"What are you thinking about doll? I get that I'm attractive, but that's certainly a lot of staring."

wHAT-

This dude? What? Wait, don't get distracted-

As expected, he sends a shock wave directly towards you. You throw up a wall of vines, at the same time pulling vines up from the ground underneath Kaminari. Seeing that he went into his usual dizzy state that comes when using his quirk, you form an idea.

Quickly sending out vines before he can recover, you immobilize your opponent.

Giggling to yourself, you cross the arena. You lean down and whisper, "This is for the cheer uniforms." A simple nudge pushes the blond out of the arena.

You win. You turn toward the cameras and finger-gun.

"THAT'S MY Y/N! SHE'S SO COOL!" Mina shouts into the stadium. You bow and walk out. Your face is red.

What was that? A five second win? I want to actually fight...

By the time you finally get back to Class 1-A, Midoriya and Shinso have begun to battle. Darn, I didn't want to miss any of this! Grabbing some sour candy from Momo (who always has food, most likely fuel for her quirk), you sit down to observe.

Midoriya is losing, breaking his fingers, and ultimately begins walking to the line. Around you, everyone screams for Midoriya to turn around. You decided to switch things up. "GO, SHINSO!" Bakugou glares up at you, as you are seated directly above him. "Sorry~" you whisper.

You look back up to see a shocking turn of events. Wait, is he- Is he breaking Shinso's hold? He should show me how to do that~

Shinso falls outside of the lines.

You speak without thinking.

"THAT'S OKAY BABY, I STILL LOVE YOU!" You shout at the top of your lungs.

Aizawa shakes his head. "Y/n! In no way is this acceptable behaviour. Sit back down!"

His voice carries from several rows up. Despite having the entire stadium turn to you at your outburst, you feel no embarrassment. Why? Because your idol just said your name. Sure, you hear it every day in class, but that does nothing to brush away the happiness you receive each time.

You smile brightly and return to your seat.

Oh wait, Dad's here. You look around the audience until your eyes finally land on several pros standing together. Sir Nighteye stands next to Mirio and Best Jeanist looking your way. You can feel your father shooting glares across the stadium. You shiver. Honestly, it's surprising that he would show up to the same event as All Might, even if it is to see you. This entire time you had forgotten that he was going to be there and had certainly not been on your "best behavior."

Oh well..
