Secrets and Masks | Bakugo Katsuki

"It is Bakugou's victory!"

Some of the crowd were devastated since they were rooting for Miruzu but some were cheering for Bakugou too.

He couldn't help but be pissed and angry at the fact that she just played along, she was strong physically and her quirk is a good one, so why is that, she doesn't want to be number one?

Once he put her in the stretcher, he looked back and saw her cuffs laying in the middle of the stage. As he went to retrieve it, he started to think that if Miruzu did take the match with her all, maybe, just maybe, she would have defeated Bakugou.

He kneeled down to get her cuffs. It had her initials on it. He put it in his pocket as he went to the clinic to get checked out too. He felt like she had messed with his brain and the way he forcefully used his quirk against hers was making his arms feel cramps. Bakugou was too proud to admit that yes, she could defeat him but he wouldn't let his pride say that out loud.

Miruzu... you're a formidable opponent.

Miruzu slowly opened her eyes at the sound of her phone going off. She didn't look at who was calling her. She rasped out a greeting. Her throat was dry. She just realized too that she had passed out and the last thing she felt was Bakugou's arms on her waist to catch her.

"You did well, Little Shadow," Hawks said.

"Mhm," she hummed. "Even though I was holding back?"

"Are you kidding? You could have defeated him if you didn't use your darkness quirk! You even removed your cuffs for your match. You thought he was worth it?" he asked and Miruzu let out a hum of affirmation.

"He's strong. He doesn't back down to people who he thinks is a worthy opponent. I got weak because I created that Domain, I may have the advantage on his point of view but really, I already have exhausted myself from my previous matches," she said as she took a sip of water.

Recovery Girl was encoding something in her computer.

"I know, I was watching. He noticed it too, didn't he?"

"Yeah, he got mad for it,"

Hawks laughed at that.

He was waiting for her. He didn't know why but he wanted her to watch.

"You can now go, Tokuda-chan," Recovery Girl said to her as she was kissed by her. "Your quirk is powerful and I know you know that but please, if you know the limitations of your quirk and you know the drawbacks that happens to your body, unless it is needed, don't risk it. Your quirk's darkness attribute is something to be reckoned with but make sure that you only use it when it's night time."

She winced at the lecture.

"And Bakugou-chan gave this a while back," Miruzu raised her brows at that. Recovery Girl presented her cuffs. Miruzu gasped softly as she saw her cuffs. "He retrieved it after your match and brought it here. The last match isn't starting yet, so if you want to watch, you can now go."

"Thank you so much!" she bowed.

As she walked down the hall, she saw the familiar spiky blonde hair. She didn't have her voice entirely yet so she stomped her feet gently to the ground and her shadow found him, and when she heard his familiar grunt on the other hall, she knew that her shadow had found him. She heard his footsteps.
