The Gamer-Hero Zero (Discontinued)

Class 1A vs 1B Part: 3

Izuku observed the screen with a sharp gaze, his analytical mind already processing the implications of Tenya's new ability.

Izuku: With this speed, he's broken the sound barrier. That means he can now run at jet speeds, "he commented, his tone carrying both pride and acknowledgment of Tenya's hard work".

Ochaco, standing next to him, tilted her head in thought.

Ochaco: Maybe Iida improved his speed because of you, "she suggested, looking at Izuku with a teasing smile". You know, as a competitive response to your sprint skill?

Melissa nodded, crossing her arms.

Melissa: That makes sense. He sees Izuku as both a rival and a role model. It wouldn't be surprising if he wanted to catch up.

Before Izuku could reply, Mina suddenly leaned forward, pointing toward the ongoing match.

Mina: Hey, pay attention! Ojiro's going off!

The group turned their focus back to the match just in time to see Ojiro engaged in a rapid exchange with Sen.

Kyoka crossed her arms, a smirk playing on her lips.

Kyoka: His new fighting style's solid. It's way smoother than before.

On the battlefield, Mashirao felt a strange sense of satisfaction bloom in his chest at those words. He felt as if his classmates were acknowledging him on some subconscious level.

His Dragon Tail quirk had refined his style tremendously. With his tail extended and coated in a faint energy glow, he moved fluidly, blending powerful strikes with nimble footwork.

Sen, spinning his arms at high speed, attempted to overwhelm him with rapid jabs, but Mashirao weaved through them like water, using a combination of Kung Fu and traditional martial arts to counter.

Sen growled in frustration, twisting his entire body into a spiraling kick.

Sen: You can't dodge everything!

Mashirao didn't even flinch. He stepped forward at the last second, closing the distance in an instant. With a calculated movement, he struck Sen's side with his tail, the impact thudding through the air.

Sen staggered, his momentum disrupted. Mashirao pressed the advantage. He pivoted, twisting his body into a powerful roundhouse tail strike aimed directly at Sen's temple. The sheer force behind the blow sent the 1-B student crashing to the ground.

A tense silence followed.

Then, Sen's body twitched slightly before going still.

He was knocked out cold.

Mashirao exhaled deeply before rolling his shoulders.

Another win for Class 1-A.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Mezo Shoji had Pony Tsunotori restrained in his monstrous grip. His Chimera Form was fully activated, his multiple arms twisted together into a thick, sinewy mass, holding her completely immobile.

Pony struggled, trying to launch her horns at him, but Mezo was already ahead of her. His extra hands were gripping her horns firmly, preventing her from using them as projectiles.

Mezo: You're strong, "he admitted calmly". But I can't let you go.

Pony huffed in frustration, wriggling to break free.

Pony: You're too strong! How is this even fair?!

Mezo remained silent, his grip unwavering. Pony, realizing she had no way out, let out a sigh before going limp in his hold.
