(GRAHHHH IM ALIVE)

(Looking back, I think I 🚚ed up the order of fights but shhhhh)

Loaded up with snacks, you, Honenuki and Tsunotori returned to see Tokage's match against Kirishima.

You were a little upset about not wishing your classmate good luck, but you doubted she needed it...

And would you look at that, you were right!
Down below, accompanied by Awase who had let her borrow his phone, Tokage was crouched in the corner of the entrance to the field.

She was on the line with Saihara, a determined look on her face, "So, Saihara-senpai, do you think Maru-chan will go on a date with me if I win this?"

"If?" the third year echoed from the other end of the call before snickering, "Nuh-uh, when you win, she will definitely go on a date with you! Crush that 1-A kid and secure that dinner date, Tokage! You've got this!"

"Yes! I've got this! Thank you, senpai!"

"Anytime! Go kick 🍑! For Marrin!"

"For Marrin!" Tokage declared.

Awase heaved a sigh, patiently waiting for the moment his phone would be returned to him, 'I can see this taking a turn for the worst...'

After the call ended, Tokage returned Awase's phone before beginning to march out onto the field with a look of fiery determination.

'It's nice enough that I'm going to get to have a meal with Maru-chan twice, but I want one that's just the two of us! I'm gonna win this round, then I'm gonna ask Maru-chan to have a meal with me!'

As you watched your green haired classmate stride out onto the field to face off against Kirishima, you couldn't help but feel the slightest bit unsettled.

"I wonder if she'll be alright..." you murmured, catching Tsuburaba's attention, "I saw that kid when we were at you know where, and he packs quite a punch with that hardening quirk of his."

"Yeah? We all got beat down by Saihara, so I think she'll be fine," Tsuburaba murmured with a shiver, "Nothing hurts more than a punch from him, if you ask me."

"Still..." "That worried, huh?" "Piss off."

As Tokage and Kirishima stood on opposite ends of the field, your green haired classmate flashed a toothy smile, "So you're Kirishima! You're the guy Maru-chan told me about!"

"Hm? You mean Maruyama?" Kirishima echoed with a little look of surprise, and Tokage nodded eagerly.

"Oh yeah, while she didn't exactly tell me... I overheard her. She only had good things to say about you, so I'm super excited for this!" Tokage declared as she prepared to attack, "Best of luck to you!"

Kirishima seemed a little taken aback by your classmate's energy, but he flashed a sharp toothed smile of his own and nodded, "Same to you!"

As soon as they exchanged their words of encouragement, Midnight shouted, "Begin!"

Tokage wasted no time, launching her right fist off while Kirishima faltered for just a moment. The moment was all Tokage needed, being able to land a solid punch to his cheek with her detached fist while she got closer.

"What the—?!" Kirishima didn't finish his sentence, lifting his hardened arms in anticipation of another punch to the face only for Tokage to punch him in the gut with her left fist, the detached one swerving back to clock him on the side of the face again.

"TOKAGE STARTS OFF STRONG, PUTTING PRESSURE ON KIRISHIMA ALREADY! WHAT'S FASTER? TOKAGE'S PUNCHES OR KIRISHIMA'S HARDENING???"

Damn. She was not playing around...
