Project New Dawn

Chapter 13 - Showdown

"Are you sure we'll be okay revealing so much to them?" Denki asks.

"They have Mirio, so it's safe to say they're on our side. Besides All Might reminds me of someone but I just can't point to who." Izuku answers.

"So what's the plan, Squadron Leader?" Fumi asks.

"Ochako you're taking the blue-haired girl, I suspect she's a ranged fighter so get in close, use whatever you're comfortable with but avoid using your quirk at that range. Denki, take Miruko. She prefers CQC and tends to lean towards Muay Thai and Kick Boxing, get in close and shock her. Fumi, take the other boy who's with Mirio, I suspect he's a mid-ranged fighter and depends on some form of food for his quirk, he's been munching on that dried squid since he showed up. You and Dark shadow should do well against him. I'll handle Mirio." Izuku says, tossing his jacket over his bag and opening the top three buttons of his shirt with Fumi and Denki doing the same.

"I wish I could open my shirt like that." Ochako whines.

"You could lose that skirt, I mean you are wearing leggings underneath, that might help." Izuku lightly teases the girl.

"I wish I could but I don't think the teacher would like that." Ochako sighs. "On the bright side though, my shirt is just loose enough to allow me to fight properly."

The 4 got ready as they turned to face the 3 seniors and Miruko, taking the stances.

Miruko immediately charged for Izuku, but Denki intervened, hitting the pro in her gut with his mace. Miruko skids back by a few feet before kicking off to deliver a jumping sidekick which Denki blocks with his mace. "Move it, kid. I'm going to fight Broccoli boy over there." Miruko exclaims as she flips back to the ground.

"Not happening, Ms. Miruko." Denki says with a smirk as he activates his quirk, channelling it through the mace. Miruko's expression changes as she shifts to a more defensive approach.

Denki charges as the heroine, swinging his mace up. Miruko barely dodges it, getting hit by the static that seemed to follow the mace. She counters by trying to knee Denki but he blocks it with his own, bringing down the mace on Miruko's shoulder.

As a reflex, Miruko catches the mace getting shocked. Denki makes use of Miruko's lowered guard and kicks her in the stomach sending her tumbling.

"You done playing yet Ms. Miruko?" Denki asks. "Can we finally get serious?"

Miruko growls as she lunges at Denki, ducking under his swing and grabbing him by his torso, as she tries to tackle him to the ground. Much to her surprise though, Denki doesn't budge from his position. Smirking, Denki tosses his mace away as he grabs Miruko and uses his quirk on her, Knocking her out for the time being.

The UA teachers watch in shock as a mere first year had knocked out a seasoned pro who had a history of vigilantism.

"H-how?" Mic questions.

"It's simple really. Miruko is a close-range fighter and Young Kaminari's quirk seems to work best in close range. So having him face Miruko was the perfect choice." Nezu explains as the teachers are making notes on the different battles that are going on.

"It seems Young Izuku is not just proficient in various forms of martial arts and the related knowledge but also a very good battle strategist." All Might says.

"It seems to me that Young Izuku's played a simple game of Chess. Pitting his pieces against ours so that he has the advantage regardless of the difference in abilities." GT says. "He's smart, I dare say he'd give you a run for your money in a few years Nezu."
