"Time for match three!" Present Mic shouted into his microphone, as I walked up the steps to the platform. "It's Class 1A's vampire, (Y/n) Tsutsumi versus the boy with the electric personality, Denki Kaminari!" Why the hell did they call me a vampire?! I don't drink blood! "Keep those eyes peeled. I wanna see a super flashy battle this time! Begin!"

"What do ya say, me and you go out after this?" Kaminari smirked. "I'd be happy to treat you to a bite and comfort you after your loss. 'Cause this is all gonna be over in two seconds, honey."

Knowing this idiot, he's gonna use up all of his energy with his first shot.

"And I'd be happy to rip you apart limb from limb after that stunt you pulled earlier!" I laughed, as I put out a blood shield.

"Indiscriminate shock. One point three million volts!"

As soon as he finished his sentence, I disconnected the thread of blood that was attached to the shield. Just as I predicted, the blood absorbed all of the electricity before it had any time to reach me, creating a hazardous puddle on the ground between us. 

My head spun a little, considering that I had lost about a pint of blood and couldn't reabsorb it without getting electrocuted, but I was fine overall. More blood flowed out of my palm, restraining the boy who had just fried his brain. That's a shame, I was hoping this battle would have drawn out a bit longer.

"He's immobilized!" Present Mic announced. "That's all, folks! It was over in an instant!"

Midnight struck her whip towards my side of the arena. "The winner is Tsutsumi! She advances on!"

The crowd cheered, as I retracted the blood rope, freeing Kaminari.

-Back in the Stands-

I had no injuries, so visiting Recovery Girl wasn't necessary.

"Hey guys." I smiled, as I walked back to my seat.

"You were amazing out there!" Izuku blushed.

"Yeah, you really showed him!" Ochaco pumped her arm up in the air.

"Serves him right!" Katsumi huffed.

"I wish he lasted longer," I sighed. "That match was so short. Plus, he needs to pay for what he and Mineta did!"

"You should not wish harm on your classmates, even if they do horrible things!" Iida scolded me. "But I will say that your match was quite impressive."

"Thanks, you guys."

We all watched the next match together. Well, not Iida, since he was next. I wouldn't have really considered it a match either, considering that it was more like an advertisement. 

Hatsume lent her equipment to Iida, as she explained to her potential buyers on how they worked. Who the hell gave her speakers? After her demonstration, she stepped out of bounds, making Iida the victor.

Izuku watched in horror, as the match was finally over. "Iida's so sincere, he trusted her motives. She probably made it sound like she was doing him a favor." He began to scribble in his notebook. "She's so driven. Straightforward about her goals. And from what I can tell, she'll pretty much do whatever it takes to reach them."

I sweat dropped, placing a hand on my boyfriend's shoulder. "You're muttering again."

"O-oh! Sorry!"

"You don't have to apologize," I giggled. "By the way, how's your hand doing?"

"Recovery Girl was able to fix most of it," he answered. "Now, it's just a few bruises."
