Y/n yawned, stretching as Todoroki passed them. They were in the corridor leading to the arena. Todoroki had just finished his match with ease, and now it was Y/n's turn. They were up against Shiozaki, who they had limited knowledge of. Monoma didn't tell them anything.

Not that it mattered. They'd still win. Even if Shiozaki knew everything about Y/n, there was nothing the teen could do to prevent the predetermined outcome. Y/n was simply stronger, and would therefore reign supreme.

Y/n watched as Todoroki brushed past them, giving them a slight side eye as he left.

"Welcome back to the finals, everyone!" Present Mic shouted, making the stands roar, "It's time to welcome our next competitors!" Fire erupted from each corner of the cement arena.

"Even beautiful flowers have thorns.." Mic whispered into the microphone, "It's the assassin from Class 1-B, Ibara Shiozaki from the hero course!" The vine haired girl made her way to the arena, a serious expression on her (admittedly gorgeous) face.

"Versus.. the angelic Y/n L/n from hero course class 1-A!" Y/n stepped onto the arena as well, sword in hand. They silently thanked Aizawa for somehow allowing them to wield it.

They looked up to the booth in confusion. Angelic..? Y/n..? Those two things contradicted each other. Y/n was a demon.

"Keep those eyes peeled, I wanna see a super-flashy battle this time-"

"Excuse me?" Shiozaki interrupted the hero, looking up at the booth he was seated in, "Please, pardon the interruption.. I'm not sure why you called me an assassin.." She complained, "I've come to the festival in search of victory, not to take my opponent's life.." She shook her head in shame, "That wouldn't be in line with the values of a hero at all, sir.."

"Right.." Mic sweatdropped, "I'm sorry.."

"Gentlemen," Shiozaki continued, "I didn't enter U.A for wicked or selfish reasons, but to deliver salvation to others!" Y/n squinted their eyes as a divine light shined upon the girl. She was the angelic one, not Y/n, "It is my humble quest to spread good across this world.." She clasped her hands in prayer.

"Listen, I said I was sorry, kay?!" Mic shouted nervously, "That was my bad, alright!"

Y/n nodded, raising their hand as well, "And, while you're at it.. don't go calling me an angel," They said, "I can be the assassin and Shiozaki and be the angel! I think that's more fitting!"

Shiozaki looked at Y/n in shock, "E-eh?!" She blushed, "No.. the title of an angel is far too grand for me!"

"Well.. anyways!" Mic interrupted, "Begin!"

Y/n took in a deep breath, "Shiozaki, huh?" They asked, gripping onto their sword, "It really is a shame you got paired up with me.. you seem pretty strong for a first year. You might've made it past round one if you were up against someone else."

"I thank you for your kind words," Shiozaki said, glaring Y/n down, "However I will advance no matter who my opponent is."

Suddenly, the vines from her hair shot at Y/n. The half demon quickly dodged, but as they honed onto them Y/n realized what they had to do. In an instant, the vines were severed from their host and fell lifelessly to the floor.

"I didn't really listen when they were explaining the rules.." Y/n admitted as they cut down more vines, "I have to immobilize you or make you leave the field, right..? I'm not the best at that kind of thing.."

Y/n specialized in beheading demons, first and foremost.

"You need not worry about it, L/n," Ibara said as she sent more vines towards the 1-A student, "I shall be the one to immobilize you."

Vines shot from the floor. Y/n jumped up, only to be met with most coming straight for them. They quickly flung their sword up, then down to cut done both sets.

Taking a deep breath, they charged at the girl, "Sins breathing: form three: greed," They whispered, looking straight at Shiozaki. A field of flowers erupted from the arena as Y/n activated their breathing style. It lured Shiozaki in.

Smiling, Y/n made sure to face the dull part of the blade towards the girl, before pushing it onto her neck. Y/n grit their teeth, pushing harder.

Realizing Ibarra was too stable, they quickly kicked the girl's feet, and sent her flying out of the arena.

"Shiozaki has left the arena!" Midnight announced, "The winner is L/n!"

Y/n sighed, looking down at the girl, "You did good," They complimented, "I'm sure you'll make a good hero."

Shiozaki looked up at Y/n, hands clasped in a praying position as a slight smile made its way onto her usually stoic face, "Monoma was right about you.." She said, "You are like an angel.."

Y/n tilted their head, "Mono..ma?" They questioned, "You mean Mic?" They laughed, jumping down from the platform and over to Shiozaki, "I wouldn't say that.. You put up a good fight, Shiozaki."

The girl nodded, "To be complimented by you.." She muttered, "Truly, the gods have smiled upon me.."

"..What?" Y/n blinked, "Well, it was nice to meet you, Shio, see ya."

Y/n turned around that made their way back to the corridor. Iida was standing in it, in some crazy gear.

"What's up with you?" Y/n asked.

Iida blushed, "Ah..! Hatsume lent this to me! She's from the support course!"

Y/n hummed, "How.. kind of her?" They said, unsure of why anyone would give their opponent an advantage, "Well, I better go, Tenya. Have fun!"

"O-of course I will, Y/n!"
