        The stage was still being rebuilt, as a result after its destruction from the clash of your and Todoroki's combined powers. It left quite an impression to the crowd; you've surely had let them know who was superior. And it reassured them that Class 1-A was not just a group of randomly picked students (except Mineta).

        Speaking of superior, the next match would be Shinsou versus the person he insulted and has declared war on; Bakugou. And the indigo-haired male would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous-- afraid. After witnessing the ash blonde's brutal fight with his own fellow classmate Uraraka, who knows what the crimson-eyed lad would do to him. Especially after what he pulled off in front of your class-- having to insult him publicly in front of other students.

        However, his nervousness over his upcoming fight was mixed with worry, after witnessing what happened to you. You caused an explosion, dammit. How can he not worry? You might be gravely injured for all he knows. The way you looked so ruined along with the arena, but somehow, even when the heterochromatic-eyed boy lost, he received the least injuries. Perhaps Todoroki could be conscious as of now. You, however, may still be recovering; you've pushed yourself far off the edge. It would be reasonable if you're still out cold, and it would be a miracle if you're now conscious.

        "Next contestants, please prepare for your upcoming match!" At the announcement from the speakers, Shinsou inhaled a deep breath, before exiting his waiting room, wearing his signature stoic façade, trying not to let his emotions get the best of him.

            He should have some faith in himself. As long as his enemy doesn’t know how his quirk works, he should have advantage.

        That might have been what you've told him if you were by his side right now.

        "FOR THE FINAL MATCH OF THE THIRD ROUND, WE HAVE BAKUGOU KATSUKI VERSUS SHINSOU HITOSHI! WHOEVER WINS THIS ROUND WOULD DETERMINE (L/N)'S OPPONENT IN THE FINALS!"

        And with that announcement, Shinsou's amethyst crystals glared at ruby ones as he walked up the stage’s stairs, causing for Bakugou to respond back with the same gesture, only with more ferocity. They both have the same desire: to place on top; to be the best hero there is, and they'll start by winning this.

        "The fight wasn't even flashy! I didn't even get to do anything! As soon as I spoke, my mind suddenly felt all hazy!"

        The ash blonde recalled Kirishima’s remark about his fight with this kid, giving him a hint of how his opponent’s quirk works. Apparently, it somewhat relates to talking, as the crimson-haired male explained, and Bakugou took this to account. If his theory was correct, then he shouldn't talk for the whole fight. Easy enough... right?

        "Oh, it's you again. Still have that head up your ass?" Shinsou inquired rather rhetorically, his bored half-lidded eyes showing such boredom, that Katsuki even considered that this guy was so full of himself to have that much confidence to go against him. Oh, this motherfucker was playing that route for him to respond. No, he won't give the indigo-haired male the leisure to have him talk back.

        This was his victory on the line here. He'll show his response through beating the shit out of this guy.

        Bakugou stayed silent. His glare, however, remained just as vivid when he entered the ring.

        And that made Shinsou internally panic, but he managed to keep his anxiety in.

        Why isn't he replying t--
