Saiki K Goes to UA High! (Discontinued)

Chapter 16

After the first round had ended, the matchups were confirmed.
Midoriya vs. Todoroki, Arial vs. Saiki, Ashido vs. Tokoyami, and Kirishima vs. Bakugo.
Saiki looked at Arial to see if she reacted.
She still had that same obnoxious, smug face.
"Excited to fight me?" Arial raised a nonexistent eyebrow.
"Quite frankly, no."
Arial huffed at Saiki's response.
Saiki and Arial sat in silence, watching Todoroki and Midoriya's battle.
"Bet you 500 yen that Todoroki's gay now." Arial made finger-guns at Saiki.
Saiki focused on Todoroki's thoughts.
Without saying a word, he fished out 500 yen from his pocket and put it in Arial's skeleton hand.
Arial snickered. "Knew it."
"Are you a psychic?"
After that, it was time for Arial's and Saiki's battle.
"It's going to be difficult to predict her movements... But I'll manage."
Saiki readied himself for the starting sound.
As soon as the sound rang out, Arial dashed towards Saiki.
Saiki quickly evaded this attack.
However, Arial had a Plan B.
She jumped into the air, right above Saiki.
She let herself fall, pinning the psychic underneath her.
Saiki let out a growl and kicked her off of him.
She quickly recovered, staying in her feet with the help of her wings.
She stood there, looking at him with that irritating lazy smile.
Saiki frustratedly grit his teeth.
Using his telekinesis, he flew towards Arial at a high speed.
Without even flinching, Arial bent backwards, Saiki going right over her.
She grabbed his ankle and slammed him to the ground.
Saiki kicked her face with his other foot and scrambled away.
Arial's smirk changed into a small malicious grin as pale blue blood dripped down from her nose-hole.
Saiki matched that expression, now hell-bent on one goal. Beating her.
They both flew at each other.
They each gripped the other's hands, trying to bring them down.
Arial grin grew wider when Saiki felt her hands heat up.
Saiki quickly realized what she was up to, wrenching his hands away.
He hissed in pain, looking at the burns that he had received.
He shot Arial a dirty look, to which she just shrugged in response.
She held her hand out, blue sparks emanating from her hand.
Saiki quickly ducked as a blast of fire went right over his head.
Arial took this opportunity to get closer to him and deliver a swift kick to the ribs.
Saiki stumbled, clutching his chest.
Before she could hit him again, Saiki grabbed her wrist and threw her down.
Arial yelled in pain, grabbing her now broken wrist.
She blocked Saiki's next punch with her arm.
However, because he was using his super strength, Arial's arm snapped in half.
He kept on throwing hits, getting angrier and angrier.
Each time Arial blocked, something was injured.
This went on until Arial fell to the ground.
Saiki was about to deal the final blow, until...
"Wait...I give, I give..."
Arial rasped, laying her head down.
"And that's it! The winner is Kusuo Saiki!" The announcer shouted.
The audience roared with excitement.
Saiki panted, sweat beading his forehead.
He went up to the stands as Arial, now unconscious, was being carried away.
"Oh man, Saiki! That was awesome!" Kaminari approached him.
"But I'm surprised it took that long. I thought you could predict people's moves or something." He asked.
"Normally, yes. If I focus in on my opponent's thoughts, I can hear what they're planning to do in a fight."
"But, with Arial, I can't do that. I can't hear anything when I try to read her mind. The most I've ever made out from her head is a few garbled words." Saiki explained.
"Ah... Yeah, that's gotta be pretty challenging." Kaminari nodded.
"Anyways, wanna go get a drink or something? We've got some time before the next fight!"
"Fine."
Kaminari and Saiki both got drinks from a nearby vending machine. Kaminari got a lemon soda, Saiki just getting a bottle of water.
Kaminari insisted on sitting next to Saiki.
"Hey, wanna try some of this? It's really good!" He offered his drink.
"I'm fine."
Saiki didn't even glance at the bright yellow and green bottle.
Kaminari shrugged and finished off the soda.
"Hey! Can you use your powers to put this in the recycling?" He suggested.
Saiki rolled his eyes and used his telekinesis, moving the bottle into the recycle bin.
"So cool!" Kaminari smiled.
"Why is he so impressed? All I did was put a bottle in a recycling bin."
After that, the two of them watched the following matches with interest. Or at least Kaminari was.
