(A/N- OMG this took me way too long to do. Not gonna lie, I procastinated the shit out of this, sorry. Lots of stuff going on. Love you all, and I definitely enjoy reading your comments, they really do bring a smile to my face!)

Time blurred around me, and suddenly, it was my fight.

I walked to the entrance of the battlefield, letting the rush of the adrenaline and expectations of the crowd wash over me. Sand from the grounds crept into my shoe and rubbed against exposed areas of my skin.

I ignored it.

Power rushed through my veins, and every time my foot hit the ground, the world threatened to shake. My jaw was permanently clenched to match a hardened gaze.

Across from me on the field was Kaminari, who seemed laid back and unaware of the situation. He had a small smirk and a relaxed posture. "Hey, Kamiko, after this quick win, why don't I take you on a date to help comfort you?" He yelled, wiggling his eyebrows at me.

Some of the audience cooed at the offer, and several people discussed how 'sweet' Kaminari was, being 'nice' to me.

Rage sunk deeper into my bones and rose out of my skin at the same time, completely encompassing me.

He's underestimating me. They're ALL underestimating me. I'll show them just how competent a monster like me can be.

I don't reply to him.

"UP FIRST, WE HAVE THE QUEEN OF 1-A, WHO HAS THUS FAR ONLY BEEN SEEN USING HER QUIRK ONCE! PLEASE WELCOME KAMIKO!" Mic introduced excitedly. "ON THE OTHER SIDE, THERE IS KAMINARI DENKI, ALSO FROM 1-A!"

Kaminari complained at the lack of introduction on his part.

Midnight cracked her whip. "Begin!"

I was in front of Kaminari in less than a heartbeat. My fist jerked up sharply, colliding into Denki's nose.

A crack sounded as his head shot up and backward, his body following suit.

I placed my foot sideways on Denki's throat and waited for him to try to move.

He didn't, and I realized I knocked him out with that punch.

The silence was deafening for one, two, three seconds.

And then Midnight spoke. "KAMIKO ADVANCES!"

The crowd erupted in cheers as I walked out of the ring.

I passed Shinso in the hallway, who was going to fight Midoriya.

He bumped into me, seemingly lost in thought. "Oh, sorry."

I sighed quietly as I turned around to look at him. "It's fine. Hey, you're fighting Midoriya next, right?"

He looked back at me, raising a brow. "Yeah?"

I nodded slightly, turning my head back the other way. "Your quirk will not win you the battle if you do not have actions done swiftly. If not, be ready for a fight."

He scoffed, rolling his eyes. "What do you know about my quirk?" His question sounded different, electric almost.

Quirk, probably.

I walked away without answering him.

Gold shimmered in the air as Selwyn appeared beside me. He said nothing, simply walking in sync with me.

The corridors were long, and the grey concrete seemed eternal. Eventually, they led me to where my class waited.

Several eyes landed on me, nervous energy buzzing.
