Opposites Attract

Annalise

It was official, I couldn't watch Todoroki and Iida's fight because I was too nervous for my own. I sat in the room fiddling with my fingers. I was going to be fighting Bakugo. And even if I could cancel out his power, he was still better than me at combat. He could hit me away before I get the chance to touch me. 

The minute the battle started he started covering himself in his explosions so I couldn't see him directly. I look around trying to figure out what to do. I swear under my breath and just start running straight towards where I think he is. 

Just then he stops making explosions and sends a small one my way causing me to go flying backwards. I landed against the ground breathing heavily before getting back up. I won't let him win. 

I started running at him again, my eyes staying open. He tried to throw another explosion but it cancelled out. Bakugo gets into a fighting stance as I run at him. I go to reach him but he grabs my wrist and flips me over his body. I groan in pain as my back lands on the ground. My feet are out of bounds and I swear under my breath. 

"You're pretty damn strong, but you need to get better at combat," Bakugo said looking down at me.

I hold my thumb up and continue breathing heavily. He just smirked before walking off. That meant that Todoroki and Bakugo would be fighting each other. That's a match that won't end quickly. Or good. 

----------------------------------------------------------

I watched the fight between Todoroki and Bakugo in complete fear. The two strongest in our class were fighting each other. They were both extremely smart when it came to their combat IQ. And from what it looked like, Todoroki wasn't going to use his fire again. Which is just sad because he looked so damn hot.

"Come on Shoto." I sigh as I stand up from my seat watching, "Come on! You can do it!"

"I think you're more nervous now than you were during your fight against Bakugo." Kirishima said as I glared at him, "Okay, no need for the glares."

"Come on Todoroki, do your best!" Midiroya shouted and I turned back and shouted as well, "COME ON SHOTO!"

His fire started to come out, but only a little. It wasn't as bad as it was with Midiroya. Except something seemed to calm him down or sadden him. It disappeared right before Bakugo did his attack. I stand on my tippy toes trying to get a good look, that's when I saw Todoroki looking extremely hurt and out of bounds... and passed out.

"Shit," I mumble before I take off running out of the stands, I had to get to him, I had to make sure that he was okay.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Shoto was okay, and the events were over. The award ceremony was here. I came up on the third-place stand. Bakugo was completely nuts on the first-place stand. And Todoroki was completely calm, and somewhat sad on the 2nd stand. 

I couldn't help but shuffle over a little, Bakugo was scaring me to be completely honest. He was acting like a damn animal. I understand that he was upset, but like seriously?

All Might came out and I looked over as he landed in front of us. Specifically landing in front of me. 

All Might laughs as he puts the metal over my head, "Young Aizawa. Congratulations. You showed great strength." He then placed his large hands on my shoulders, "However. If you were a little better at combat, you would be higher ranked, remember you have to fight against all types of villains."

"Yes sir." I nod before he moves on to Shoto. 

I couldn't help but feel giddy though, I may have only made third place, but here I was. I was strong and I was in third place. Who could win against the two standing beside me though? The two of them are just crazy. So I'm totally taking this as a win. 

"Here they are, the winners of this year's sports festival. But listen closely. Any of you first years could have ended up standing on these podiums. Think about what you've done today. You've challenged each other, learned, and climbed even closer towards your goals of being pros. I think the next generation of heroes is proving to be our most promising one yet. So I have one more thing to say. I want to hear everyone yell it with me. You know what it is."

Everyone started shouting different things making me roll my eyes and fold my arms, "I think you threw them a curve."

"Yeah, I see that now." All Might replied, looking over at me. "Do you think I should have given a better warning?"

"Uh, yeah." I reply with a 'duh' hint in my tone.
