Eijirou and I stayed in the same place for the first few fights. Izuku's was first and very interesting, I'll say that. The guy he was fighting, Shinsou I think it was, brainwashed him and almost made Izuku walk out of the arena. After regaining himself, they went into a close combat battle and Izuku managed to throw Shinsou over his shoulder and land him out of bounds, letting Izuku go onto the next level.
Next was Todoroki verses Sero. That one went pretty quickly. After Sero tried to pin Todoroki down with his tape, Todoroki went and froze half of the stadium, leaving Sero unable to move and announcing Todoroki the winner.
Next was a battle I was excited to see; Hakai and Shiozaki. Since I knew Hakai's weakness, I figured this fight would be tough for her. Shiozaki's quirk was called Vine. Her hair was made of the stuff. Before their battle even started, they approached each other with smiles and shook hands.
"Would you look at that, folks! Looks like there isn't bad blood between these two lovely ladies! Let's expect a friendly matchup!" Present Mic says. I lean onto my knees to be able to see a bit closer. As soon as the gun fires off, Shiozaki sends vines in her direction and Hakai dodges. 'If she stays away from her, she should be fine.' Before any dust settles, Shiozaki sends more vines but quicker. This banter continues for a bit and Hakai continues to run from each attack. Suddenly, one of Shiozaki's vines snags Hakai's ankle and she faceplants hard. Everyone around me either winces or groans in pain.
"Come on, Hakai. You've got this!" I shout to cheer her on. She leans down to untie the vine, but Shiozaki lifts her off the ground and wraps her other limbs in the vine.
"It looks like we may be seeing a victory!" Present Mic shouts. I glare up at the box briefly before watching my friend again. 'Have some faith, man. It's not over yet.' Suddenly, Hakai breaks out of some of the vine, only for it to wrap back around her. Shiozaki tilts her head to the side and shows a wicked grin before wrapping vines around Hakai's throat. 'What?! That can't be fair!' I must've been leaning pretty far out of my seat because Eijirou had to push me back. "What's this? It looks like Shiozaki is switching things up with a vine chokehold! If Odayaka doesn't act fast then she'll pass out before knowing what hit her!" Hakai seems to really be struggling.
"Come on!" Someone from Class A shouts.
"Odayaka, you got this!" I see Mina scream from below us.
"Don't concede!" I scream.
"She's got nothing on you!" Eijirou yells.
"Don't you dare wimp out on this!!" Baka-gou calls louder than all of us. "Stop caring about what other people think! You can win!" This seems to awaken something in Hakai because the ground starts to tremble and her hair starts to float toward the sky. Hakai starts screaming as the stadium shakes more. Suddenly a strong wave of energy shoots toward Shiozaki and shoves her out of the ring. Hakai then falls flat on her back and lays still. 'Is she alright?'
"I don't believe this! Shiozaki is forced out of bounds by the sheer will power of Odayaka's quirk! Hakai Odayaka advances to round two!" Present Mic seems shocked at the outcome. Hakai tries to stand, but she false to the ground. Seeing this, Bakugou shoots up from his seat and bolts down to Hakai. I smirk and sit back in my seat.
"I'm glad she won," I say with a breath. I lean my head against Eijiro's shoulder.
"Your fight is next, isn't it?" He asks. I nod and sit up.
"If you have the chance, will you find Hakai and ask her if she wants to watch me? She doesn't have to if she's not up for it," I say softly. Eijirou smiles.
"Sure thing. You go ahead and head down and I'll find her." Eijirou says resting his hand on my knee. "You be careful, okay? And good luck." He says kissing my cheek.
"Thanks. I'll be fine. I'm actually pretty excited to beat up Aoyama," I say with a giggle. Eijirou chuckles softly.
"Don't go too crazy." I stand up from the chair and smile.
"Cheer for me, okay?" I ask. Eijirou nods and then I go ahead and head down. I grin and crack my knuckles.
'Oh, boy am I ready for this.'
