↳As the arena prepared for the next match, the energy was electric, everyone buzzing with anticipation. This next battle was going to be intense. The giant screen displayed the names: Katsuki Bakugo vs. Ochaco Uraraka.

I leaned over the railing of the stands, eyes locked on the arena below. This was going to be one heck of a fight. "Let's go, Suki!" I shouted, grinning. "Show 'em why you're number one!"

Bakugo stepped into the ring, the explosion of the crowd's cheers mixing perfectly with the confident smirk on his face. He glanced up in my direction, a little glint in his eyes that told me he heard me loud and clear. He didn't say anything, just gave a short nod, the kind that meant: I know I'm gonna win, but thanks for the hype.

Uraraka stood opposite him, looking nervous but determined. She was tough, I'd give her that. As Present Mic's voice boomed over the arena, hyping up the match, I couldn't help but feel a little bad for her. Going up against Suki wasn't easy, especially when he was fired up like this.

"ALRIGHT, FOLKS! THIS IS THE ONE YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!" Present Mic shouted, his voice echoing throughout the stadium. "ON ONE SIDE, WE'VE GOT THE GRAVITY HEROINE, OCHACO URARAKA! AND ON THE OTHER, THE EXPLOSIVE POWERHOUSE, KATSUKI BAKUGO!"

The moment the signal rang out, Uraraka dashed forward, charging straight at Bakugo. She was quick, no doubt about that, but Bakugo was quicker. He dodged to the side, blasting explosions from his hands that sent her flying back. But she didn't give up. She kept coming at him, again and again, trying to close the distance.

I kept shouting from the stands, not caring if I was being loud or obnoxious. "Yeah, that's right, Suki! Blow her away! Don't let her breathe!"

Bakugo paused for a second, looking up at me with that wild, cocky grin of his. "Don't blink, Y/N!" he called back, loud enough for me to hear. "I'll show you what real power looks like!"

Uraraka's strategy shifted as she started using debris from the arena, sending it raining down from above, trying to corner him. For a second, the crowd held their breath. Was she actually turning this around? But then, with a massive explosion, Bakugo obliterated the falling rocks, leaving nothing but dust in the air.

He shot forward, closing the distance in a heartbeat, his palm crackling with energy. With one final, controlled blast, he sent Uraraka tumbling out of the ring. The impact knocked the wind out of her, and she lay there, struggling to get up. Midnight blew the whistle, and it was over.

"KATSUKI BAKUGO IS THE WINNER!" Present Mic announced, the crowd roaring in approval. "WHAT A DOMINATING DISPLAY OF POWER!"

I couldn't help but cheer even louder, punching the air in excitement. "That's what I'm talking about, Suki! You're unstoppable!"

As Uraraka was helped off the stage, the giant screen flickered again, showing the updated bracket for the quarter-finals. My eyes zeroed in on my own name: Y/N Chēnsō vs. Ibara Shiozaki.

I took a deep breath, feeling my heartbeat kick up a notch. "Alright, Shitake," I muttered to myself. "You're up against Chainsaw Man. Hope you're ready to get cut down to size."
