You're Just Not My Type (Tenya Iida x OC)

Chapter 31

This battle isn't over yet. Yea, maybe he is stronger than me, but I'm not going down without a fight, the people were counting on me, maybe not to win, but to give it my all. This wasn't about my ranking. It was about doing my best, to be the best hero I can be. My parents, are probably cheering me on, both of them. I can't let them down, I won't let them down. I can do this. I'm not giving up.

I used more of my energy to make a bigger shield bubble and push him away, it works. As he comes back to attack I throw a wall at him to distract him, he dodges it, but I set a shield bubble to catch him in. I do. I try to more the shield bubble out of bounds. In the bubble, he is setting off multiple blasts. I sent him right to the edge of the platform but before I can push him all the way out he breaks the shield and I'm pushed backward. The stadium was in shock, whisper being murmured around the stadium.

"That's why you didn't want to be on my team. The heat from my blasts makes your shields weak." Bakugo states.

"Nothing gets past you, Captain Obvious," I say, struggling to get up.

"You know what, now I'm definitely gonna enjoy kicking your ass." He says.

"I wouldn't be so sure." I make energy walls and throw them at him in different directions. I try and create some distance between us. He ends up dodging and blasting me. He continues to throw blasts and I continue to throw walls and block with my shields. I feel the energy leaving my body and I start getting weak. I try and fight as if there is nothing wrong but my movements are getting slower and my aim is getting sloppy. Bakugo smirks now using even more of his blast. I'm hit a few more times, my body aching. With the last bit of energy ad strength in my body, I place it all in one ball of energy. I was in such a desperate state of mind I didn't even know I could do this. With one last movement, I throw the ball, which was now the size of a beach ball at Bakugo. It hits him and sends his flying a few feet causing him to land on his stomach. I've just released the last bit of energy in my body. I watch Bakugo's body still for a few seconds. I try and keep my body up but my legs had no strength. I fall back as I watch Bakugo stand up. I know he's standing up, and I know we could continue the fight, but there was no feeling in my body. I smile looking at the sky, knowing that I did my best.

"Sumiye is immobile. Bakugo advances to the finals." Midnight says.

I smiled and wait for the robots to get me from the floor that I was laying on, they put me on a stretcher, and take me to the nurse's office. Everything around me was moving extremely fast and extremely slow at the same time. Bakugo walked behind the robots and followed me into the nurse's office. Recovery Girl checks my injuries and tells me that It's nothing serious just a few bruises, nothing that a good night's rest won't fix. She is surprised that I didn't faint with my last attack, and I was surprised as well. Bakugo stood awkwardly in the doorway unsure if he should come in. He finally did.

"I told you I was going to win." He says, looking down.

"I know, and I told you I was going to do my best," I say. He looks up from the floor. "Which I did, so Bakugo Katsuki. I can't wait to learn and grow, so that one day, I can beat you." I smile.

Bakugo lets out a small grin, "Ha, as if." He says.

"Go focus on your next battle, you have a sports festival to win," I say. He smirks and walks out of the nurse's office. I smile and close my eyes drifting to sleep.

I wake up to Jiro lightly tapping my arm.

"Hey Shina, you up?" She whispers.

"I am now," I say, groggy.

"Ok, they are going to do the medal ceremony and you need to get to the field." She states.

"What? But I don't even know if I placed. Don't I need to battle Iida?" I say.

"Normally yes, but he had to leave on short notice so by default you are in third place."

"Oh," I say.

"Come on Shina, you probably would've beaten him anyway." She says.

"Well, we don't know that," I say.

"I guess you are right. I just don't want you acting like Bakugo."

"What do you mean?"

"Did you sleep through the fight? Bakugo and Todoroki fought, but Todoroki didn't use his fire, so Bakugo doesn't think he deserves the win because Todoroki wasn't at his best." She informs me.

"Oh," was all I could manage to say. I guess I am like Bakugo. I could have easily been in fourth place. I'll have to talk to Iida when I get the chance. For now, I'll accept the medal on both our behalves.

I walked with Jiro to the field, there all the UA staff was waiting for me. Everyone had their eyes on me. I got nervous. I took a deep breath but when I looked up to see Bakugo and Todoroki I saw Bakugo in chains and a muzzle. I rushed up the stairs and went straight to Bakugo.

"Young Sumiye, the third-place podium is on the right." All Might informs me, but I don't pay attention.

"Bakugo are you ok?" I ask, concerned. He was still trying to lash out, not at me, but out of the chains. I could see the pain and anger on his face.

"It's ok, Jiro told me what happened. I know you don't think you deserve this win, but that's ok," He looked at me confused. "I don't think I deserve this third-place medal, but it's ok, because the next time, we really are gonna feel like we deserve it, so I need to relax and accept it, even if you don't think that you do. I don't want my memory of our first sports festival to be in you in chains and a muzzle. Please." I plead. Bakugo's expression softens for a second, at this point he isn't lashing out anymore, he's just pissed. I smiled and bow to him. I turn to All Might.

"You can take him out of the chains and muzzle now. He will accept the medal." I state.

They both look at me then at each other and Midnight goes to undo the chains. Bakugo takes a deep breath, he is about to yell. I raise an eyebrow at him, "Don't even think about it." He just rolls his eyes at me and stands in his first place spot. Finally, I go to my third-place spot. I'm happy and smiling at the announcements and All Might place the medal over my neck. We are all being cheered on and having our pictures taken but I can't help but let my mind drift to Iida.

Why did he leave? I hope everything is ok...
