Laura's Hero Academia

Chapter 5: Speed

"We have to wear... these?" I looked at the cheerleader uniform in my arms.

"Well, Mineta told us there's some cheer battle," Momo said.

I look at the clothes again then back at Momo and the girls. I shrug. "If you say so..."

-Later-

"I knew it..." I felt embarrassed, having to wear this kind of clothes. But I put the embarrassment aside and focused on the upcoming event. I looked up at the screen to see the brackets. I widened my eyes in shock when I saw that I'm up against Tommy. From what I remember, he has super speed.

"Yo!" I jumped at the sudden voice and turned around to see Tommy.

"T-Tommy!" I exclaimed angrily.

He chuckles and scratched the back of his head nervously. "Hehe, my bad." He looks at me with a determined smile. "Looks like we're gonna fight."

I look at him and nodded. "I guess so."

He smirks and gives me a thumbs up. "Let's see who's stronger, eh?" He asked.

I smiled at him and nodded. "Yeah."

After the momentary interlude, the final event has begun. After Izuku quick claimed victory and Todoroki's intense victory; it is now my turn to fight. I stood on the stage as I faced my opponent.

"New kid from the west! From the hero course, it's Laura Kinney!" The announcer shouted. "Versus-the boy who is too fast for the naked eye! From the general department, Thomas Shepard!"

I look at Tommy as he gave me a smirk. I just gave him a serious look and got into a fighting stance.

"Let the third match begin!!!"

Out of nowhere, Tommy appeared in front of me and shoved me back, but not hard enough for me to fall out of bounce. I've managed to stay on my feet and ran towards him, instead he disappeared from my eyesight and kicked me from behind. I felt his attacks again on my left and right. I start to memorize his pattern. He hits from the front, back, left then right, and he repeats it again. If I could just land a hit on him.

He keeps hitting me from every direction, I felt myself stepping backwards. He's trying to get me out of bounds. I felt my right side get punched, he might hit me in the stomach again. I threw my fist in front of myself and felt it land directly on Tommy's face.

I kicked him as hard as I can as he flies towards the edge of the stage. I ran towards Tommy.

"Sorry, Tommy." I apologized before drop kicking him off stage.

"And the winner is Laura!!!" The announcer shouted as I hear the crowd cheering for me.

I smiled a little bit at the cheering. "This feels great."

Later, I was back in the crowd with my classmates. Uraraka looked at me with a exciting look.

"You did really good, Laura!" She complimented. "I never knew you were a fighter."

I chuckle softly. "Thanks..."

The next fight is between Momo and
Robbie. I'm a little scared for Momo, but I believe that she can handle him.

Later. General Perspective.

"Let the battle commence!!!" The announcer shouted.

Robbie looks at Momo with a smirk as she creates a chain. Robbie gets into a stance and charges at Momo.

Momo whips at Robbie with the chains. Robbie dodged most of the whiplashes and then catches the chain in his hand.

He looks at Momo. "Can I borrow this, señorita?" Robbie pulled the chain out of Momo's grasp.

Robbie starts whipping at Momo as she creates a shield to block the whiplashes. He kept whipping at Momo until she went out of bounce.

Momo looked down and saw her foot out of the line. She was in surprise.

Laura's POV

"Yaoyorozu-san is out of bounds!!!" The announcer shouted.

I was in disbelief. Robbie didn't use his powers against her. He used the chains against her, making her go out of bounds.

I didn't know I'll be going against Robbie soon.
