As the Sports Festival progressed, the students and teachers realized one thing: the 2A ten were the final eight students remaining.

"Alright.... With the eliminations of Daichi and Haso, that just leaves Yukiko, Feza, Peinta, Tsuyoshi, Toki, Bouran, Hibana, and myself." Hoka stated.

"Which means these next match ups are going to be regulated by the teachers who've seen us in action.... What a drag." Hibana said, looking both concerned and annoyed.

"Come on, looks like.... Oh, Yukiko vs me." Feza said.

"Someone out there is laughing. A cat vs a bird?" Yukiko grumbled in displeasure.

.

"BEGIN!"

Yukiko's claws came out....

"I forfeit." Feza stated.

Yukiko froze. The crowd froze. Midnight froze.

"Yeah no, Yaseiji will eat me alive. I really don't wanna get mauled by her right now, and her skill set easily bests mine." Feza explained.

Feza turned around and walked right out of the arena, making a show of flapping his wings a couple times. Statistically speaking, he's not going to beat Yukiko for a long time.

.

"Next up, we have the carnage queen, bringer of chaos: Bouran Shinano! She's up against our explosive breath boy, he's got a stubborn personality, and a load of firepower: Hibana Chikahisa!" Present Mic announced.

Hibana and her stared each other down, Bouran's eyes bleeding into that scarlet red color, signaling her quirk is activated. Hibana sighed, taking a breath.

"BEGIN!"

Bouran rushed at him in a red blur, Hibana swiftly sidestepping the attack. He let out a breath of his explosive gas, clicking his teeth. The explosion pushed Bouran back, but not nearly enough.

"You've gotten good, Bouran. In our first year, you would've fumbled and it would've been an instant loss." Hibana said.

"You're not too bad yourself!" Bouran replied.

Bouran rushed him again, Hibana breathing out a wave of his gas. Upon snapping his jaw shut, he was amazed to not see the girl anywhere.

"Where did she-"

A glint of red caught his eye. He didn't have time to duck as Bouran grabbed his throat, constricting his airway.

"Too slow, Hibana!"

She ran towards the end of the arena, using a burst of increased strength to throw him out of bounds, the force making him hit the wall.

"Bouran Shinano moves on to the next round!"

Hibana groaned, Bouran racing over to help him up.

"You good? I didn't kick your ass too hard, did I?" Bouran asked.

"Nope, just didn't expect you to actually throw me...." He responded, a few pops coming from his back as he stretched.

.

"On one side, we have Tsuyoshi Arashiyama, our resident dragon boy! And on the other, we have Toki Suzuki, the time-stopping boss of 2A!"

The crowd cheered at Present Mic's announcement. Toki was nervous. Sure, she and Tsuyoshi knew not to kill each other, but Tsuyoshi's always been a bit.... Much. He's not exactly the definition of subtle.

"Hey, Toki!" Tsuyoshi called out. "No hard feelings, right?"

The moment Midnight gave the word, Tsuyoshi went into his dragon state. A beam of lightning charged up in his mouth-

Toki immediately used her quirk freezing him. She covered her mouth, instantly feeling a wave of nausea and a headache. She has maybe thirty seconds? Acting quickly, she went up to Tsuyoshi, climbing her way up his back.... Of course, that's when her quirk decided to deactivate.

Now, Toki Suzuki wasn't normally one to cuss-

"FUUUUUUUCK!"

Tsuyoshi flew straight up, twirling and flipping as he flew.

"YOU GOT THIS STOPWATCH!" Daichi shouted.

"I DO NOT GOT THIS!" She shrieked in response.

High above the arena, Tsuyoshi threw her off of his back, leaving her to free fall. Wait, how many minutes had it been?

She felt her quirk surge through her, a plan forming in her head.

"Oh, please let this work...." She mumbled, seeing her classmate dive down towards her.

She dodged his mouth, grabbing onto the end of one of his wings. With the stress of winning, she activated her quirk the moment they touched the ground, a cloud of dust forming from the sudden pause in his descent.

The crowd were on the edge of their seats.

Tsuyoshi unfroze, slamming directly into the ground. A groan came from him, and that's when Midnight announced it.

"T- Tsuyoshi Arashiyama is out of bounds!"

Toki groaned in pain, lying face first on the ground. On one hand, she didn't lose! On the other, she felt like that one time she went to a party and the punch was spiked.

.

"The smoking queen: Hoka Morikaga! Vs, the queen of ink: Peinta Rakuga!"

Hoka and Peinta stared each other down. Hoka took a turquoise colored cigarette from her pocket, bringing it to her lips, lighting it with the heat of her quirk.

"You know it's rude to smoke around others, right?" Peinta stated.

"Oh? Apologies," Hoka began.

"BEGIN!"

The markings on Hoka's body appeared to vibrate in anticipation as soon as they appeared, her quirk already prepared.

"I should've offered you a hit."

Smoke clouded the arena. Peinta could faintly register Present Mic talking about Hoka's quirk, coughing from the smoke. When she looked up, she no longer saw the arena. God damn it. Hoka's special move: Hallucinogen.

Right now, while everyone else was merely seeing Hoka watching as Peinta began to sweat, Peinta herself was currently in the middle of a magma-filled volcanic wasteland.

"It's a little thing I conjured up... A little hallucinogenic smoke that your mind and body thinks is real. And until this fight is over, I have no intention of providing the antidote." Hoka calmly said.

She took another hit of her cigarette, letting out a smoke-filled breath.

"Basically, you have no choice but to give up."

Peinta scowled.

"Fuck you, Hoka." She hissed out. "I forfeit the match!" Peinta announced.

.

Peinta scowled, annoyed at her loss. She really shouldn't be so worked up about this, but....

"E- excuse me!"

She turned her head, spotting a student of class 1A. Minoru Mineta, if memory serves her correct....

"You're in 1A, right?" She asked.

"Yeah.... I noticed you were a bit frustrated with how the match turned out, figured you could use a drink!" Mineta said, putting on a laid back persona.

Peinta titled her head in confusion. Why was he acting like this? He held out a water bottle, offering it to her.

".... Thank you." She said, taking it from him.

She flashed him a smile, before calmly walking away....

For the first time in Mineta's life, he thinks that he's just developed a crush.
