Kill La Hero

Those Who Fight II

Even though Michi and the others were worried about Izuku's surgery, she and Tenya had to get ready.

Their fights were up next.

Tenya was first and his adversity was Ibara Shiozaki class 1B, the girl with the Vine Quirk who had beaten Denki.

Ibara starts the match by attacking from a distance with her vines.

Tenya immediately activates his Recipro Burst technique and runs behind Ibara in a flash.

He then grabs Ibara's shoulders and swiftly runs towards the edge, pushing her out of bounds, making him the winner of this match.

The next match was between Michi and Mina.

Knowing that her acid attacks would be ineffective against Ares Supersuit, Mina attempted to keep her distance.

However, similar to her previous match with Momo, Michi quickly closed the gap and delivered a sucker punch to Mina's stomach, knocking her out.

With this victory, Michi moved on to the Semi-Final round.

"She won in an instant, too? I couldn't even enjoy looking at Michi!". lamented Mineta.

For that Tsu hit him over the head with her frog-like tongue.

"Michi and Ares are amazing.", said Tsu, as they watched how stonefaced their friend left the arena.

Worried Ochaco looked at Michi.

How she fought may have been similar to Momo, but the brunette felt that her best friend was with her thoughts somewhere else.

"Are you worried about Midoriya?", asked Tsu her.

"Well yes, but I'm worried for Michi, look at her."

They did.

The girl with the red glasses seemed emotionless as she made her way back to the tribune of class 1A.

"She is surely with her thoughts by Deku.", explained Ochaco. "But she can't worry and be there for him, because she had to fight."

"So she closed off her feelings.", deduce Tsu.

Ochaco nodded.

Finally, Michi joined them and sat down beside Ochaco.

She didn't even say a word in greeting as she normally does.

"Michi-Chan.", began Ochaco softly taking her hand. "I know you are worried for Deku. We all are, but he is in good hands."

From Michi came just a huff.

Ares answered for her: "She wants to be on his side, she will never calm down if she doesn't see the boy being well with her own two eyes."

Understanding her feelings, Ochaco squeezed her hand and Tsu embranced her from behind and made sure Mineta didn't cup a feel.

Being surrounded by her dear friends, minus Mineta, helped Michi.

She let out a shuddering breath she was holding.

Izu-Chan, I hope you are okay, you have to!

The next battle is Bakugo against Kirishima.

During the battle, Bakugo and Kirishima trade blows using their Quirks.

Kirishima's hardened skin dampens Bakugo's explosions, and then Kirishima cuts Bakugo's cheek open with a punch.

Bakugo backs off, ponders over Kirishima's persistence, and wonders how long his opponent can maintain his hardened state.
