Chapter 17: [Fight on, Don't hold back!]

"What the fuck!" Bakugou shouted from his seat, eyes as wide as possible. It wasn't just the explosive boy that was in a state of surprise, as the majority of the spectators had been shouting and loudly cheering the battle. The match had been quick, but not without excitement; in fact, there seemed to be a bit too much excitement, as the crowd had been going absolutely crazy the moment Izuku had landed the first hit.

There was a fair share of the audience that was rooting for Shoto to win, but the way he had been going about winning was bland, especially for those that came to the festival hoping to see action. As the match went on, it was clear for the world to see that Midoriya wasn't your average competitor, and neither would he easily grant the youngest Todoroki an easy win. The stakes were then raised to further heights as Izuku pressured Shoto with all he could put out, rather viciously lashing against the [Half-cold, half-hot]-quirk user.

Class 1-A knew that both teens were titans among them, but to see the duo display this level of power and battle prowess made them feel rather inferior. Even Bakugou had to admit to himself that should he battle with Izuku, he wouldn't come out unharmed. It grinded his gears to admit to the fact, but the blonde was being forced to acknowledge that the bloodsucker was a match for him.

Kyouka had been easing Momo's nerves as the rich girl would be the one facing Bakugou. Their conversation died down when Present Mic began to give his usual speech to hype up the crowd, presenting the top fighters of their class, followed by letting Midnight to give out the rules and begin the match. It was clear for all to see that the teens were ready to beat each other to a pulp, Izuku taking that literally as he was by Todoroki's side the second the match began.

The punk-rocker heard some surprised gasps coming from the neighboring wall, the stands for their sister class 1-B. She had been hearing them complain all the time about the treatment class 1-A had been receiving, so when they were left speechless in front of the might of the vampire and his opponent, Kyouka could not help the smug grin that graced her lips. Serves them right to talk without knowing jack-shit about us, she thought. The way that that vine-haired girl had spoken about Izuku, almost as if he was evil-incarnate left Kyouka really pissed off.

She would have given the girl a piece of her mind, but Momo was in need of her help. It wasn't like Izuku couldn't defend himself if it came to it and she figured that his actions would speak much louder than words. Kyouka knew that Izuku had been rather gentle with his first opponent, mercy that was not displayed to his classmate as she heard the crack of the vampire's closed fist meeting Shoto's jaw and sending him flying away.

And then, Izuku finished the fight in the most BM, taunting, provocative way she couldn't possibly have imagined. He fucking quoted AC/DC! No way! Pre-quirk era music had been on a decline, especially something as old as AC/DC, the band now been know more known among the cycles of hard-core rock fans. For him to just casually let out such a reference, forget the fact he legit struck Todoroki with actual electricity – that was its own level of awesome – he knew good music!

She knew he was into old-style music, one didn't drop Queen as workout music for shits-and-giggles, but this was the shit! Too bad Momo seemed to have a hard aversion to Izuku, they could become such good friends once the rich girl got past whatever funk she had against the vampire. Kyouka shelved her revenge plans against Izuku's earlier prank; right now her objective would be to make her friends become friends themselves. That however, would be done after she congratulated him after his win over Todoroki. That was rad!

Izuku slowly raised right hand, the limb steaming and twitching. He had put everything he could behind the attack, the sleeve of his shirt being nonexistent proved as much; it seemed he needed to work a bit more on that, considering he was ready to drop, dead-tired. Still, Izuku couldn't help his lips quivering into a tiny smile as he looked at his defeated opponent. Midoriya Izuku, the vampire, had just won in a match against Todoroki Shoto, the son of Endeavor.
