When you made your way back to the bleachers, you were met with all your friends grinning at you with happiness brimming in their eyes. But your eyes landed on Midoriya and you couldn't help but rush over to him and check his condition.

"Midoriya-san!! Are you okay?! How did the surgery go?!" You asked in worry and he couldn't help but give you a sheepish smile, "I'm fine, [Last Name]-san... But enough of that, congratulations on your win!! You literally won against one of the class's strongest! Tokoyami-san is a really formidable opponent!"

Soon, everyone has rushed over to congratulate you, Kirishima too, who is about to go for his next match, "Wish me luck, [Last Name]-chan! Bakubro's a really strong opponent, so I want to prove my strength!" You made sure to give him a hearty pat on the back as a determined smile made way to your lips.

"You don't need luck, your skills are enough for you to take on that guy! Just stay safe, okay? I wouldn't want my manliest friend to get hurt!" He shot you a toothy grin before nodding, his eyes now holding a deep fire in them.

Mina and Hagakure were still latched onto you, and Jiro was at your side, a cool smile resting on her lips. As you walk to your seat, you meet up with Uraraka, who also throws her arms around you and gives you a tight hug, "You really are amazing, [Last Name]-chan! I would have never thought of something like that!"

All their praises manage to fluster you as you thank all of them before finally seating yourself and looking over the fight between Bakugo and Kirishima. You feel yourself getting worried for Kirishima.

He's strong, yes. But so is Bakugo.

Wait... If Bakugo wins.... are you going to be the one to fight him next? Oh, no... Oh, no, no, no....

That's it! You're so quitting your next match!! This is a damn nightmare!! How the hell do they expect you to fight that demon child?! He's a nightmare to talk to, let alone fighting him and letting him destroy you!!

Yeah, no. Good bye, world.

In middle of your horrified thoughts, you couldn't even focus on Kirishima and Bakugo's match, so you just stared into the void with a traumatized look on your face.

What pulls you out of your thoughts is a loud explosion from the stage and you finally snap out of your trance to look down at the battle. Kirishima is still defending against him, but he's starting to back away a bit.

And then, Bakugo's eyes widen as he rushes over to Kirishima and starts attacking him with non-stop explosions. Your horror only increases, as Kirishima is knocked out, and Bakugo is declared the winner.

Oh, great... you're fucked...

But something is troubling you.

Seeing that Midoriya is right next to you, you turn to your green headed friend, "Midoriya-san?" He blinks a bit before turning to you with a small smile, "What's wrong, [Last Name]-san?"

"You know a lot about Bakugo and his quirk, right?" The greenette seems a bit mortified by that, "W-Well! Kacchan's quirk is just too amazing for me to not analyze, I-I'm not a stalker! I swear-" He's cut off by your chuckles and you nod at him, "I know, I just wanted to ask you some questions..."

He seems much more calm by that and gives you a cute small, letting you know to continue, "Bakugo... You said he sweats something akin to nitroglycerin... Then why does he only use it from his palms? Or is it that only the sweat from his palms is explosive?"

Midoriya seems fascinated by your question and starts rambling away, "Actually! Kacchan's palms have a much thicker skin that the rest of his body, and that's why he prefers his hands! But even then, it's not like he can use it from any other place of his body. The rest of his body does secrete the same kind of explosive sweat, but he can't ignite it! His palms contain something like a sparking plug, that can ignite his sweat. But of course, he can gather that sweat and use it to be blasted! He uses that in his hero costume, you remember his grenade gauntlets, right? They gather sweat from all of his body and store it, until he can blow it up-"
