15. Duelling In Front of a Crowd (Part 1)

After a while, the students were once again lined up in the centre, where Midnight and Present Mic were both giving the information about the last event.

"The 16 remaining finalists from the four passing teams will go head to head in one-on-one battles, tournament style!"

Y/N was standing directly in the middle of the students. "I finally get to show off just how good I am at fighting. Oh, this is gonna be fun."

The boy wore a smirk on his face. The first event had been trivially easy. The second was much harder due to it being a team game, but this was Y/N's element.

Midnight was now speaking. "We'll draw from this box to determine who you will be up against, and the tournament will start after a short break."

Y/N sighed in relief at the mention of the break. The boy was even more sleepy than he was at the start of the day, and hopefully this would give him some time to rest.

The pairings came up on the same screen that was used to show scores. Y/N scanned across them, eyes landing on the name next to his. "Ibara Shiozaki?"

That was one name he didn't recognise.

The teen shuffled across to Iida, who was standing next to him. "What quirk does Shiozaki have?"

The tall boy looked down at him. "Her quirk is Vines. She can summon powerful vines and control them to trap opponents."

Y/N almost laughed out loud at that. I can just drain her vines, can't I? Oh, this tournament is going to be a piece of cake.

A large sign flashed on the screen. RECREATION. Y/N just sighed as the rest of the class began to play some card game, and walked out of the arena back to his class's waiting room.

Nearly all of the students were out playing in the arena, the only two in the room with him being Ojiro and Midoriya.

Y/N gave them a perfunctory nod as he walked past, once again taking the same corner chair he did before the tournament and closing his eyes.

There was faint talking between the other two boys, Ojiro's tone filled with fear and warning. Y/N called out without opening his eyes, causing the muttering to stop.

"Can you wake me up when it's my turn to fight? Or at least when you go up to take part?"

Midoriya called back, high-pitched voice shuddering slightly. "Y-yes, of course!"

Y/N nodded, before the sleep overtook him and he let himself drift off.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Y/N felt something tickle his forehead, and opened his eyes to see a huge bushy tail.

The boy instinctively jumped back, slamming his head against the wall and feeling a sear of pain go through it. "OW," he whined. "Ojiro, don't jump scare me like that again!"

The blond smiled apologetically. "Just wanted to tell you that you're up after this battle."

Y/N stood up, rubbing at his eyes. "How did things go with the other matches?"

"Well, Midoriya managed to beat Shinso and Todoroki is out there right now with Sero. Your match is the third one."

Y/N nodded, and headed for the door. "Thanks, Ojiro!"

The other boy waved goodbye, and Y?N raised a hand as he left, heading for the arena's door.

There was an attendant waiting there for him, who perked up as the boy approached. "I thought you would never arrive!"
